Another game is about to begin. Our proficiency in the first game will determine our success in the next. You have spent money and worry for us, and now you want to see results. You are not particular about our station in life-you do not ask, What salary will you get? You ask, How will you live? ' ' ' Young man, how will you live? is the question the Christian High attempts to answer. For this reason in relative values, the spirit, disposition, and inter- pretation have been the greatest educating factors of the school. Knowledge has increased, not only for the fact that we have mastered rules, laws, and principles, but because we have learned to measure ourselves. Our wisdom has broadened not only due to the facts that we have learned in our studies, but because the spirit of Christianity has been instilled into our lives,-that spirit which has nurtured our forefathers. This spirit of Christian living has been enjoyed by all. And this function is rated in terms of the spirit shared by the students and the faculty. As we graduates have completed this four year course pervaded by the spirit of Christianity which you have tried to implant, we can better see your profound interests and the magnificent goal for which you are striving. We proposed not to specialize, but do develop all phases of life. This quest of completeness, however, is an uphill battle. The development of the all-roundness pf mind and completeness of character very largely determines the success of ivmg. We have enjoyed ourselves immensely at the Chicago Christian High School, and we have experienced the aid of many working in our interests. We owe a debt of gratitude to the faculty who have faithfully instructed and guided us with their pains-taking cares, and to the board for their skillful management, always ready to encourage and build up. We owe a debt to our parents for their moral and financial support, and for sharing many disadvantages that their aim might not be frustrated, and to the many friends who have taken a deep interest in the welfare of the school. We have known your labors, and, I confess, we only partially understand your labors and your prayers. Dear fellow graduates,-our next move is about to be made, but whatever step we shall take, may our motto, Let us illumine the earth, lead us' to loftier aims and higher ideals. May we ever be faithful to our God, who reigns supreme in directing our course and prescribing our destination. - JACK ZANDSTRA. 19 Gd ?l':r'19i:i?lllllliililillllllllllllIlIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllIIlllllIllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllIllllIIIIllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllillllillllllif.'6l'n .f- bb AN ATTITUDE TOWARD LIFE With the climax of our high school career we have reached one of the out standing peaks in our small lives We pause momentarily, and turn to look back upon those happy hours which we spent together, we think of the struggles we had in common, and how together we reached the goal of our striving While we stand at the summit a thrill of Joy, keen and rejuvenating, runs through our beings In all, it presents to our minds the picture of a pleasant dream, but which IS only transient There are bigger issues demanding our attention, and we must accommodate them For with the finish of our intellectual training, a bigger world places itself before us, a broader life opens to our view and we must assume an attitude towards both Of course, we were not without an attitude before this If we have lived to any extent we must have assumed an attitude But the school career is primarily one of trammg, and our lives have been to a large extent passive Rather than being active participants in the great battle of life, we were being trained to face it, and now that the time has come, we must assume a wholesome controlling attitude which shall be our guide through all the avenues of the life which awaits us The great question which now seeks an answer is, What attitude shall we assume as we enter a world which certainly IS not guided by the highest standards of ethics and religious faith? In determining the answer to this question, the nature of our training will naturally play a large part The impressions received and the influences which have exerted their power are potent factors in developing a state of mind If they are good and true they define right courses of action, move the will to strive for the higher and loftier levels of life, and cultivate in the soul ideals which shall point out to us what must be the ultimate goal of all our endeavors Education is essentially the preparation for the duties and responsibilities of life, but our attitude determines our conception of these duties and responsibilities. It cannot be denied that education is a mighty factor in interpreting life. It may impart a perverted notion of the calling of life, or it may reveal life as it actually is in all its beauty as well as its hideousness, with a true conception of its ulti- mate purpose. We may thank Cvod that our preparation has been a singularly Christian one, and that our minds have been developed by instruction pervaded with Chris- tian principles and ideals. There is only one possible way of finding a solution to the problems of life, and only one means of determining the standards which must regulate our conduct, and that is by ,access to the Word of God. Certainly, then, an education which has been presented from this point of view must possess a value which by far transcends the virtues of any other system of instruction. It rests upon us to make an appropriation of the teachings we have received, and now that we have the opportunity to face life, to bear out characteristically the Christian nature of our training, and to develop for ourselves, our fellow men, and for God ideals which lead to Christian living and service. If a correct interpretation has been made of the instruction received, we must become aware of one supreme principle which has been touched upon daily either implicitly or explicitly, an all-important factor which must play the leading role in determining our attitude toward life. It is this: that God is the center of all things, that he is the sovereign in all spheres of life, that our view of life must How forth from the all-inclusive principle that God is supreme, and that all our actions must be gauged by the standards which God has made, and not by standards set up by men. It is by this great principle that our life must be guided and our conduct regulated. This truth, believed in as such, must constitute our attitude toward all things, if we are to be consistent with the train- 20 ob xt s-4' -1X'!5fi3!Z1llllllllllllIlIllIIIIIlIllIElEFbl-iii f V I 0 L E T A N D M A I Z E g ?Ii-59.PEI9.IIlllllIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUHASTEL'Z' 'Tw 1 to If W 'U W , - . . .

An outstanding characteristic of this view is that the whole of life is embraced by one principle. An interpretation of life, which makes God supreme is rich, full, broad, all-comprehensive, and comiszent. Consistency is one of the mainstays of life, it is one of the essential character- istics of God's being, it is a rare gem which every one should value highly, it is devoted to truth and remote from hypocrisy, it represents a stable life. Inconsistency is one of the marked weaknesses of mang and especially so in the realm of conduct. While God has revealed through His Word the standards with which our conduct must be in accordance, and which is sufficient for all of life, man sets up different standards for different spheres. Human life seems to be utterly dualistic-leading to more than one interpretationof life. But life is unitary because God is in the center of all things, to Him we are accountable for all our actions, and to Him must be ascribed all glory, honor and majesty. Our attitude, therefore, should be one which includes all of life under this one principle. Matters of religion should not be relegated to one sphere, and matters which are purely secular to another sphere, and a different code of laws set up for each circle. As soon as we do that we are led to a dualistic interpretation of life, and we become inconsistent. The law of God covers all of life, and if a different code is set up for any certain sphere, we act contrary to God's law by conducting ourselves in conformity with the man-made code. A life which would take God into consideration at all times and in all spheres is, indeed, not an easy matter. It requires the expenditure of all courage and for- titude and energy to live the true Christian life. Many have already despaired of ever being able to do so. Others have tried to sweep away such a view and in- terpret life as consisting of two co-ordinate spheres, one in which we regulate our conduct by secular, the other by religious standards. But the whole of life is religious because God is the origin and center of life. We are called upon to reckon with God all of the time, to do all things in conformity with his will,and to His Name's glory. Whether ye eat, or whether ye drink,-in whatever ye do, do it all to the glory of God. This is the view of life which is consistent, one which recognizes only one source of moral law, one which is determined by only one code, and which embraces all of life. This is the attitude which we must assume,-one which is distinctive in its nature, and which will meet with much opposition in this world of many codes. The price is many struggles, but it is just those struggles for the right which dis- tinguish us as the children of God. And as such we must be the light of the world, not only distinctive, but possessing illuminative qualities which spread their rays among our fellow men to enlighten darkened minds. To have as an ideal the diffusing of true light among men is certainly a lofty one, and one which is worthy of commendation. But it may be and remain a mere desire. Let it not be that only, but an impelling ideal which we conscientiously strive to attain. And may the command of Christ to let our light shine before men give added impulse to the hopes we cherish in that direction. We are indebted to the Chicago Christian High School for the emphasis placed upon these truths, to our parents for the sacrifices they have made, and above all to God for the benefits of a Christian training. It is our sincere wish and our prayer that our lives may manifest a devotion to the ideals which have been built up within us, and that our all may be consecrated to God, who is the sovereign of the universe, and the ruler of our lives.

The local doctor was overworked so help had to be called in from the large city. The eminent physician, Dr. Louis De Boer, was called in with his very able nurse, Josephine Hoort. Together they succeeded in taking care of many patients so that after a few weeks the epidemic had subsided. Being exhausted by their strenuous labor, Miss Soma and Dr. De Boer decided to take a short vacation. They separated, one to go East and the other ort . While Dr. De Boer was waiting for his train he watched the Twentieth Century approach. Suddenly he noticed the engineer waving frantically. The train slowed down and coming closer the engineer proved to be Oscar Hofstra. While exchanging greetings the train gathered speed and soon disa peared in the distance. .Rs the doctor boarded his own train he noticed a distinguished looking gentleman ahead of him. As he turned to enter the car Mr. De Boer noticed something familiar about his face and puzzled over it the rest of the way. However, just as he was nearing his destination, the man looked full at him and he recognized him with a start as being Nicholas Blystra now principal of the Chicago Christian High School consisting of 5000 pupils. He hurried up to him and introduced himself. They talked for a time and exchanged news about former classmates. Kathryn Dekker was teaching Physiology in the C. C. H. S. and Gerrit De Vries by his deliberate but precise actions had worked himself u to the Head of the Agricultural Department at Washington. He was constantly in touch with jack Zgndstra, owner of a large orange grove in California, and renowned throughout the country for the lectures he gave concerning Christian instruction. All the Annuals for the High School were engraved by jahn and Ollier who also were the en ravers of our Annual. But now their work was much better as they had succeeded in procuring Henry gan Hattem as their head artist. As the train had already ground to a halt at his station, Mr. De Boer hurried off and in so doing ran into a short wiry gentleman also running. They both apologized and hearing each other's voices recognized each other. The smaller man was Harry Eldersveld who had joined the gold rush to Canada. He had located a rich vein and was just in town to make sure of its value. As there was another train due in an hour he decided to wait, so they stepped into the waiting room where they met Conrad Hoek- stra. He was still the same Connie whose friendliness had given him the place of Head of a New Home for Incurables supported by the Reformed and Christian Reformed people because their support was no longer needed by the C. C. H. S. Connie was just perusing a letter received from our old friend, Henry Vanden Burg, who was a missionary among the Indians. Dena Osterherdt had also developed a desire for missionary work and had married Henry's helper. Harry now began to tell of his experiences. He had inherited some money so had taken a trip around the world and in his wanderings had stayed at a very luxurious hotel in Egypt. While strolling about he noticed a group laughing heartily at the stories an elderly gentleman was telling. Upon inquiring the identity of this man, he found him to be none other than Abel Van Kampen, the owner of the hotel who always amused his patrons by his dreamy actions. As the train had now come, Mr. Eldersveld and Mr. Hoekstra boarded it, while Dr. De Boer drove to his sumnier home by the lake. In the meantime Miss Hoort had taken a bus for Northern Michigan. She stop d off at Chicago first to do some shoppin . The department store which she entered was featuring a fiiige sale in honor of the new president, Ni. Gerrit Bovenkerk, who had invented a small attachment to a watch which enabled the owner to tune in on any local radio station when adjusted. This had proved such a success that he was elected to the presidency of the largest department store in the city. As she was riding an excursion bus, it stopped at all large cities for a few hours. At Grand Rapids Miss Hoort again alighted and went to see the new buildings just erected as an addition to Ca vin College. While walking around she encountered Prof. George Stob also viewing the rounds. He was now teaching Psychology in the college and was highly esteemed by all the other professors for his keen intelligence. Continuing on her way, Miss Hoort came to Petoskey, Michigan, where Angeline Nydam had opened a decorating shop in which were employed several noted decorators.

Somehow the students who enter our high school seem to be no exception to this general rule. And in that manner also, we, a group of green freshies first entered the Chicago Christian High, situated in a very un- prentious building to be sure but yet a veritable mansion compared to the surroundings which former students had known as their school. , Our class consists of two different groups of students: those who entered in February and those who began in September of 1922. The former consisted of the following girls and boys: john Blauw, Herman De Maar, Kathryn Dekker, Anna Dorn, Oscar Hofstra, john Vander Velde, Andrew Knipper, Angeline Nydam, William Rudenga, john Stouwie, Henry Van Hattem, and Theodore Radius. They entered school rather timidly in the beginning of the year it is true but when june with its soft, balmy breezes came stealing quietly through the open windows, and the close of a semester of pleasant schdol days drew near, this same group found itself quite at home and already much attached to the C. C. H. S. The entrance of several new students the next September, witnessed not only the departure of Mr. Beets, our well-liked science teacher but also the entrance of Mr. Holkeboer, likewise a science teacher. There were a few students of course, who, for various reasons, had already discontinued their course at our school, among these being Anna Dorn, Andrew Knip er, Herman De Maar, and john Vanden Velde, but with this exception, our class had increased. Cgur enrollment now showed the entrance -of the' following new students: William Jellema, Sidney jagersma, Bernard Huiner, Theo- dore Du Bois, ohn De Vries, Dena Osterherdt, Jerry Korringa, Andrew Pluymert, Julius Stouwie, Elizabeth Van er Horst, Joe Verbeek, Harry Eldersveld, Nicholas Blystra, Gerrit Bovenkerk, Abel Van Kampen and Jack Zandstra. The February Freshmen extended a very hearty welcome to the newcomers, and so it was not long before these, too, felt that the C. C. H. S. with its jolly group of congenial boys and girls, was after all the only high school. Thus a year of study and companionship with the world's best teachers and students was spent. But our peace was not to go undisturbed. In june, we were informed that Mr. Bossenbroek in- tended to leave our school in order to continue his studies. We received the news with some misgivings and regret for, during even one short year, we had learned to love those hours which we spent under his guidance, notably, our Algebra periods. The following September, we entered school again and resumed our studies as very sophisticated Sophomores, and also welcomed into our midst, two able teachers, Mr. Swets and Mr. De Boer, whom we duly initiated at our F reshman's Reception. That year, our faculty actually became so large that it consisted of seven teachers-truly wonderful. That year also, athletics, especially basketball became an important and interesting feature of school life and various clubs were formed which also served very well in establishing and strengthening our well-known school spirit. The next year, due to the great increase in the number of students, however, and the resulting crowded conditions, we were obliged to limit entrance to our school only to those desiring a four-year general course. Consequently, Mr. Smitter, our commercial teacher decided to leave the school, and Mr. Holkeboer also left us to resume his studies. Certainl an excellent illustration that troubles never come singly. Thus our junior year Eassed. Gone was Smitter's cheery smile and along with it. also the familiar tick, tick of the usy typewriters. Meanwhile our class had undergone many changes. Some of our former classmates had left us, in fact quite a fewg there were at least two students if not more from dilferent high schools, whereas there were also a few added to our number who were intending to complete their course in three years instead of the usual four. We regret very much, however, that Della Kingma who had also entertained fond hopes of graduating with us, was obliged to discontinue her studies because of nervous exhaustion. So, there are now sixteen wide-awake boys and girls hoping to receive their diplomas in June. These consist of the followin : Nicholas Blystra, Gerrit Bovenkerk, Louis De Boer, Gerrit De Vries, Harry Eldersveld, Josephine Sloort, Dena Osterherdt, George Stob, Henry Vanden Burg, Henry Van Hattem, and Abel Van Kampen. They will complete their course in June but there are five others who have already done so in February, namely: Conrad Hoekstra, Oscar Hofstra, Angeline Nydam, Jack Zandstra, and Kathryn Dekker. The past year will always be a memorable one to the graduates of our class. For many years both students and teachers had dreamed and hoped for a new school building. This year that dream is actually materializing, and it is this fact that has aided us so much in editing, what we hope, is the school's best Annual. Now as we are about to leave our old Alma Mater, we seem to realize all the more just how precious and dear those four brief years of high school life really were. Some of us will continue our education in other institutions while the rest will doubtless enter u on various other careers. Yet no matter what we may do, we will always be loyal to our dear old fghicago Christian High School, DENA OSTERHERD1' 4 ' 23 wld 'I Z'2. a-'LS-1'itllllllillllilllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllll IllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllillllfllllll.S:'.'6l'- if Q D l 1114: w1rcf:e'.:54.'i9' v 1 H L 14 1' A N U M A 1 14 KQP.w:'QsQi2:i 'A it'7:11H::sge29:fw.2n'x3m' I 'Q fi H ..b..

Heroic Understudies-Juniors. ALL SCENES Senior-We are on the point of departure from the institution in which we have pursued with commendable diligence, our course of study. On the eve of our departure, the shades of night already drawn across the skies, the first faint illuminations of the morning light fast approaching fbefore whose arrival we must be gonej, we pause to dispose yet of matters vitally important to you, and com- manding our utmost powers of critical examination. You have been under our ennobling, enlightening, enthusing, inspirational and educational influences for three years, and naturally, our illimitable capacities as instructors, and the splendid examples which we have set for you cannot leave your minds blank, your lives empty, or fail to enhance the quality and quantity of your intellectual fabric. But to ease our minds, and to experience the unsurpassing joy of productive efforts,I have been requested by this austere assembly lpointing to Senior Classl, to conduct a general quiz in order to ascertain the extent and nature of improve- ment you have undergone while looking for learning and instruction up to us, your superiors. I will begin immediately, and without any flourish or ostentation-. The questions will be of historical, literary, philosophical, psychological, physiolog- ical, scientific, mathematical, astronomical, and general natures. Now to beginq, What is a cow? i Junior-A cow is a herbivorous animal, which got four legs split in two, but only one tail. The duty of the tail is to hit Hies with it, which often becomes difficult when the flies are posing on the head. It is impossible to- - Senior-Please attempt to suppress the violence of your convulsions, lest the manifestations of your shameful ignorance arouse within my being a blazing wrath which will melt my body as the mid-day sun melts the snow. Bring not this austere assembly to hysterics of despair by your unsophistical and childish expatiations. Let your voice no more be heard, but allow your more susceptible colleagues to give answer. I will now duly offer another question: What important event took place in the year 1898? Junior-That there was the time when the terrible war of X812 was foughten. In the same year the United States waged a war on the poor, helpless, defenseless mosquitos in the Panama Canal. The war was waged fiercely with victory on either side, until the English gOt too strong, so the mosquitos agreed to submit the whole matter to arbitration. But when the Americans got too arbitrary the mosquitos bit them. Insult followed upon insult, injury upon injury, until finally the whole race of the mosquitos was wiped out. But the insects remained stubborn, and wouldn't give up, until- e Senior-Thou imbecile that hearest not, and understandest not what thou hearest! Grieve us no more with thy unbridled ravings. Alas! Will discourage- ments come upon us as a Hood in our happy hours, and bury us in a sea of despair. Question I will no more, for your knowledge is already determined. Behold! the morning light is breaking, we must be gone, but yet a word. Be true to the standards we have set up before you, and lower them not. Distinguish yourselves and make yoursleves known as we have done. Seek to profit by our example, and leave no stone unmoved under which may possibly be hidden the few gems which we leave behind us. The day breaks, and we must pass on to withstand under laboring toil the heat of the sun.

FII Dear Sophomores: There are various stages in a student's life which are distinguished from each other by as many varying characteristics. It was your good fortune to have been in a susceptible stage while you were in a position to learn from 'us. Con- sequently, we have no doubt of your future success, but realize that the impressions made upon you under our influence will remain with you, and be valuable assets to you on the uphill climb. Although you have by this time become quite sophisticated, we are certain that you will gladly receive a few words of advice from your more experienced and more learned brethren. Next year you will be Juniors, and the infallible recipe for your well being is: to tease the Freshies unmercifully, and laugh mockingly at the sophistical bearings of your immediate underlings. But on the other hand, be sure to recognize the superiority of the Seniors, and their unerring wisdom. Don't get the foolish notion that a Senior can make a mistake. Humiliate yourselves in the presence of the Seniors, and if one is within hearing distance, speak highly and with perfumed praises of his matchless powers of mind, his immaculate appearance, his enlightened countenance, and unruflied bearing. These words of advice we duly present to you with proper respect, ,with a suflicient estimation of your worth, and with hopes that you will follow them out, for in the observance thereof lies the surety of your success. Tru: Snmoizs. Dearly Beloved and Highly Esteemed Seniors: We appreciate your seemingly well meant efforts to give us advice, but we must needs repudiate your attitude of patronage. As you say, we have been susceptible to your influence, and we certainly have profited-by your example. But as you know, the pupil often surpasses the master to whom he is indebted for his extraordinary flights of success. This is the case 'twixt you and us. We don't need your advice any more, because we know enough. To be true to ourselves, we cannot recognize and respect any class of Seniors as being our superiors. It is true that next year the Seniors will have the energy of position , but beyond that our powers will overshadow theirs, as a field of high and waving corn overshadows the insects that play therein. We feel constrained to impart to you some rare and valuable advice before you leave, lest the opportunity pass with yourdeparture. Be more considerate than you have been in the past. Get a fleet and sturdy steed if you can, instead of trying to ride the hobby-horse of popularity. Stop admiring your self-ensnaring and trouble-breeding antlers, and observe your ambulatory pads,-they are exceedingly more inspiring. Think less of yourself, and more -of us, and your success will be axiomatic.

Ladies and Gentlemen: We have before us your letter of advice to us, which we have perused with great care. It was,.indeed, a matter of surprise to hear from you, because, from all appearances you considered yourselves far superior to us. But we are happy to recognize that you have come down from the ladder of conceit to look upon us, especially inhthese moments when we feel unmistakably the need of your counsel, flowing fort from the vats of your unerring wisdom. The missive which you directed to us is appreciated, but to say that we were somewhat disappointed in our expectations concerning its contents is putting it only mildly. Certainly, we were surprised to see that you spoke to us in a manner as absurd as you have done. Isn't it quite natural that from students who have attended high school for four years we should expect words weighty in import, dignified in content, and bearing at least some semblance of maturer age and experience, and more highly developed intellects? After hearing you speak to us in a manner such as would otherwise be intended to belittle our significance, and to diminish our essential worth, it must be said that we were astonished bea yond the bounds of imagination. We feel called upon to refute your statements, in justice to ourselves, and with a view to rectifying your erroneous bent of mind. You seem to intimate that we are green-do you mean with jealously? This surely is not the case. We realize that you hold a rather elevated position, which has not as yet reached the heights of the imaginary Babel, but we know as well that you have not reached it without first going through the Freshman refining pot. We are proud of our position because we know that it is basic, and necessary for a successful climb up the ladder to the heights of matchless wisdom and in- telligence. We take offence at your matter-of-fact remark, informing us that we are going to be Sophomores next year. This we are well aware of. It is not necessary to tell an understanding child that he may some day reach maturity, because he knows it already, and is looking forward with eager anticipation to that time. For one thing we are happy. When We become Sophomores, consolation will embalm our beings with a feeling of supreme satisfaction as we consider that we will be enabled to teaselother Freshies besides ourselves. For your general in- formation, I might mention that although we do not believe in ranges of excessive cruelty, we do believe in corporal punishment. I think one of the most amusing pastimes is putting tacks on a Freshman's seat, just simply for the joy of hearing him burst out vociferously with the shriek of a screech-owl. There is no pleasure in putting tacks on a Senior's seat, however, because regardless of the intensity of the pain he experiences as he sits upon it, his proud spirit and haughtyndemeanor will not permit him to relieve himself with a cry of pain. But I presume that the best for us is to wait until opportunity presents itself before we indulge in these hilarities, However, if the consequences prove to be of such a nature as to cause a remuneration of injured feelings, we will call a halt to our innocently injurious practices. It is a generally known philosophical axiom that it doesn't pay to engage yourself in distributing pains if you are compensated in like manner. Permit me to close with a sincere and appreciative expression of gratitude, the profundity of which surpasses the impenetrableness of the illimitable depths.

The day dawned but faintly at first, but soon the sun came out in all its 'splendor as if it had a special mission to perform. Far in the distance a small group could be seen moving along towards us. It might have been a group of country mice, so small the figures seemed as they were yet afar off. And such an assumption would not have been a startling one, for, as the group drew closer, it was seen that the individuals were indeed diminutive, although far estranged from the species mentioned above. Interest grew as their approach afforded a better view. The figures became larger and more distinct, and finally they were beside us. It was a group of aspiring youngsters who were intending to enter the Chicago Christian High School. Mingled expressions diffused themselves over their coun- tenances. They were struggling amongst themselves for mastery,-fear, hope, gladness, distrust, uncertainty, confidence, determination,-it would be hard to say which was the most prominent. With reluctance they filed into the uninterest- ing lobby of our school building, made their way up the stairs to successf' and presented themselves at the office as applicants for an education. Mr. Fakkema greeted them with his usual kind and encouraging smile, which must have cast aside all apprehensions of school-life ordeals which might have possessedtheir minds. Having been enrolled as students, they were conducted to the locker rooms by Mr. Dykem'a. The new Freshmen felt reassured as they looked up at this venerable gentleman. It was indeedtouching to look upon their faces as they lifted their eyes to him in a trusting expression, realizing already that they could confide in him. ' , In the hall-way the older students were lined up, and the new aspirants had to run a gauntlet of admiring glances as they passed by. It seemed, however, that they were insensible to the attention which was being directed toward them. They were too pure to be conceited. Like all innocent beings they possessed the inimitable virtue of humility, and it was especially this characteristic which caught the admiration of the other students. One might have expected that the Seniors, otherwise proud, and sometimes disdainful, would have conceded themselves outclassed by these exemplary types. But not sol One of the Seniors remarked: It is expected that students will conduct themselves consistently with their position. The Freshmen are on the bottom rung of the ladder, and must always look up, the Seniors have reached the top of the ladder, and cannot but look down. And this philosophy, though harsh, is at least -a half-truth. The new students adapted themselves with remarkable ease to their new environment. Their smiling, beaming countenances bespoke satisfaction and enjoyment, which is not at all surprising. We all experience a sense of keen en- joyment in living in with the school spirit which is so delightfully captivating. We are certain, also, that the new Freshmen will contribute liberally to that spirit. But there's more to school life. It's a climb up the ladder. But keep the gleam in your sight and always press forward to its attainment with your utmost powers. Follow the gleam. .Ln 'v 37 fs S 'e o if Q 'I 252.2 relicisIIIIIIEIlllilllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIlllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIllllIIIIIIlIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllillllillllllfkviii'ei?-'f 3LbWD'nri fl wg... ..SXf1.vfL1..'2 . , . 5- g,-f'l.fxf:xk',1'K.l'.17 J 't?fQ:Z14':2v'521f.w 'H .'g1jfig:,Q '.

DEBATING Since the innovation of debating in the activities of our High School, some wonderful successes have been experienced under the inimitable coaching of lXIr. De Boer. And it could not be otherwise. hflr. De Boer's Hrst aim is not to win victories, Calthough We fight hard for theml but to furnish mental and oral discipline for the students. For this attitude we value our coach doubly. In the year 1925, the year of the inauguration of clashing issues , two of our teams proved successful, the Affirmative team defeating Holland Christian lligh at Holland, While the Negative subdued Holland's Aliirmative at Chicago. This year, however, success in terms of victories has not been achieved by our boys as yet. Holland became angry, and defeated us twice. But we'll have another opportunity to win victories. Debates will be held with the Grand Rapids Christian High in Mayf, on the question, Resolved that the States should ratify the amendment to the Federal Constitution empowering Congress to enact Child Labor Lawsf, The Affirmative, consisting of John Rottier, Bob Yan Kampen, and Everett Yeldman, will meet Grand Rapids' Negative at homeg while our Negative, comprising Louis De Boer, Peter De Vries, and Harry lildersveld will meet Grand Rapids, Affirmative at Grand Rapids. VW: wish them the laurels, but regardless of the outcome, we are certain that great benefits will be derived as a result of the indefatigable and tenacious efforts of our coach. 40 L7 ttL3f,,7fU,j'2Q' 1 ' IT' .Qf'5Yf5!'I-ERSPQE' Fin s V :2x1hTigQg112 iitT71iU:1ihis53.fP3.'jT 1' 1 11 1, EI 1 A N 11 M A 1 z ta L Q rt 1 T 5 'li .V W. ,E Pg! 1 1 l 1 rx I A E F , 5 I 1 . -0 Aa l L -1 , 1 tu 'l lil, lt 'I .fljffflllflfliff Q STOB YE1.DM.xN.

It is the heritage, or even birthright of every normal, healthy lad to indulge in sports. He takes it seriously. In his youth he will call it athletics g in the prime of life he calls it physical training , and in old age he will perhaps refer to it as recreation . I will refer to it as athletics because I and my exuberant associates are young. , There is scarcely a place in the world that would not be adaptable to some of the numerous forms of athletics. Daily you eagerly scan the sporting pages to see the baseball notes, ringside decisions, track results, or whatever you are in- terested in. Everybody nurtures a certain type of sport that he holds in preference to all others. Let mecite a few concrete examples: fYes, they're hard enoughlj The Athletic Board of Directors boasts Stob, who likes baseball, Heiny, who prefers basketball, Abie, who gazes with dog-like affection upon a mule-moccasing and yours modest truly, who dotes on football. I could show you many more similar or dissimilar cases, but the editor demanded. an economy of words, and- blah! Our Athletic Association is restricted CYes, I know that's not the right wordl to the male persuasion of the school. It satiates the just appetite of the athletic boy as much as it can. We foster, chiefly, basketball. fln the spring we manage to scrape up a nine, just for funj. Our dingy, narrow old gym has certainly seen a lot of action with her dim old eyes fthe roof lightsj. Anybody who has seen the school teams clash in scrimmage can assure you of that. Besides maintaining the oflicial basketball teams, the Association furnishes the necessary gymnasium equipment, viz., basketballs, volleyballs, nets, bats, repairs, etc., etc. Every member pays his dues and in this manner all share equally in the upkeep. Why, our club actually stages a stag at the close of the school year, too. We just held a Hsuperiferous hubdub on April 23. And that banquet!! The deliquescent coffee, shining limpidly in the massive masonry the soup committee called cups, and the sea-going hard-tack Cidentilied as sand- wichesj, bore up well under the ravages of the plundering mob. Even the orchestra, which was not there, would occasionally call time out to munch on a piece of metalliferous ore that some optimist called candy. The program gives one a delicious pain-in the sides! Next year, in the new gym, and with Mr. Henry A. Swets, Sr., still in the ring as faculty advisor and general sponsor, we hope to have a decided increase in the membership roll. The students join with no trouble at all-the qualifications being as scarce as nroggen brood in the Fiji Islands.

In directing the plays, in intercepting passes, and in securing points for the team, he has made a most enviable reputation for himself.

But though we were few in number, we were not alone in our sympathies, for it was quite evident from the cheering that we had many friends among the spec- tators. Among our players, however, a sober spirit reigned. Since their arrival that afternoon the boys had been looking anxiously for word from our center and Captain, Zandstra, who had been left behind through an unavoidable misunder- standing. But no word had come, the prelim had been played, and our boys sallied forth, W. Radius in the center position, Bovenkerk and Van den Burg guarding, and T. Radius and Stob as forwards. Playing started with a rush,- Holland, however, doing most of the rushing. Without the stalwart Zandstra in his usual position the team was obliged to devote most of its energy to breaking up Holland's passwork, without getting in any Uringersl' for themselves. About the end of the first quarter we experienced a thrill. There at the door was Jack! Worn out by an eight-hour automobile drive through the snow-blocked and all but impassable roads, he was put into the game at once. The moral ef- fect upon our team was noticeable. In the fast playing that ensued Zandstra received a fall which all but put him out. At the end of the half Holland was safely in the lead, the score standing 11-4. What transpired between the halves we cannot say. At any rate, Chicago's score now began to climb. Five field goals were added to our total against two for Holland. At the final stroke the score stood 18-16, against us, true, but a testimony to the fighting spirit and the ability to come back of our team. Our boys had fought against formidable odds, and though they did not bring back the laurels, we know that they did succeed in establishing a closer contact between the Christian High Schools of Chicago and Holland. We hope that we may soon entertain them in our gym, and also feel somewhat confident that our welcome will be supplemented by a taste of what Chicago's boys can do. Two days later the boys played the Grand Rapids Christian High aggregation in Calvin College gym. There were about three hundred spectators present, among them two or three professors of Calvin College. A preliminary game was staged between the Grand Rapids High girls and a downtown team. The game was a nip and tuck battle, with Chicago everything but its own. It seemed to take a tremendous amount of energy to get startedg in fact, they didn't get started until a few minutes before the final whistle. Grand Rapids led by a score of I2-6. But Chicago rose out of a doomful lethargy, and quickly ran the score up to a I2-I2 tie. Then a bit of unusual amazement. A foul some- where! Grand Rapids made a point, and the final whistle blew with the score I3-I2 in favor of Grand Rapids. I, The outstanding features of the Michigan trip were the splendid sportsman- ship displayed by our boys, and the courtesy shown to the team and visitors by our hosts. We look with interest towards these Christmas vacation games, and we are anxiously awaiting the time when our Lights will shower plenty of defeat on both the Holland and Grand Rapids aggregations. They'll be successful under Mr. Swets' coaching. The C. C. H.

C. H. S., believe us that Holland team didn't sit arougd watching themselves run up a top-heavy score. ' ' V The game was the most see-saw affairs you ever saw, see or will seegfrom the time the teams lined up till the referee piped the last shrill blast on that dilapidated looking whistle. We could just sense it that there was going to be a hot time when we beheld our old familiar Violet and Maize suits file out on the floor But the Holland boys looked equally determined Anyhow we got the first point at the outset of the fray with a free throw From then on the result of the game was uncertain in the full sense of the word first one team sinking a basket then the other would cage the ball Two baskets and three free throws slipped us seven votes while the scorekeeper announced ten for Holland at the end of the first half The second half both teams lined up with the light of battle in their eyes fall except ack he had it all over himj The referee piped a shrill C on his whistle the ball rose into the ozone both centers gulped and strained to get at the ball and the game was on once more Then there ensued the most terrible battle since Napoleon had h1s Waterloo It was dribble pass shoot then a toss up then a mass of arms and legs It was n1p and tuck all through the second half each team securing two bas kets Near the end our boys saw that the time was drawing nigh so they went at lt with all the vim vigor and potential energy that months of hard practice could store up Time and again Mr Swets warriors teased the score book but that one last basket would not respond to all their rippm and tearin and chawm Then the whistle emitted the last feeble dying gasp and the game faded into history to the tune of I4 II Wlth Holland at the long end But our hopes beat high for next year With our new school on its way toward the roof we expect to get in our own gym and the rest being too sad to tell we hope Holland reads this too PETER DE VRIES m L11 s 4 -4 2 E cv m -a UJ 0 :rx P1 U Q: t ' Fl 0000000000 0000000000 IEIDIECEIECIIEIIII P-l o FY N 5' O 'o 'U o :s FD as PY W 1 0 0 CI!

Iago in Othello I, iii. The meanest of men and women have at times given utterance to thoughts of no little value and importance. Judging Iago from a purely ethical viewpoint we have no choice but to regard him a derelict upon the sea of human life. This speech of Iago, however, which is quoted above, is one of those noteworthy pas- sages in Shakespeare's dramas which shows his clear and accurate knowledge of mankind. With one mental reservation we may read this passage and find that it contains a great deal of truth. Our bodies are not in the first place our garden: but the dwelling place ofthe Holy Spirit and in so far our wills are not the gardeners, but the Spirit sows and plants in our bodies and souls the seeds of industry. Nev- ertheless, God has given to mankind a certain degree of freedom of the will. The cultivation of our lives spiritually, intellectually and physically is our sure responsibility. It is one of the results of this gift of freedom. Then-in so far as we are responsible for our physical, mental, and spiritual growth, our bodies are our gardens to which our wills are gardeners. This cultivation is an active process on the part ofthe individual and not passive. Were we to depend upon environment for our growth we would most probably lose out. It is a heavy responsibility placed upon us by our God, demanding of us all our time and energy from birth till old age. The gardening of our bodies and minds and souls is our duty. We may choose either to supply our bodies with one gender of herbs, or distract it with many, either to have it sterile with idleness, or manured with industry- . The alternative is dependent upon the fact of the freedom of our will. Which are we to choose? Almost all agree that the latter in each case is the most desirable, but yet there are those who do not appreciate the plan of God whereby He wishes to develop our lives. For God surely has given us means to gain our end. The graduates of the Chicago Christian High School have undoubtedly experienced that one great influence in their lives which has enabled them to cultivate their bodies and souls in a manner acceptable to their Creator. The C. C. H. S. has been the institution 58 0 15 G er -Z!.'.v'liv. -' llllllillllilllIlllllllllllllllllIIllIlllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllIIllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIllllllllllllllllllIIlllllllllllillllillllll 1- .'fl':s'.f K' A 5 1 r l rf ' 2941 0 r lui 'N453-'-1'lllllllN'lIIUIUNlllfll-flFffi--F' V I 0 L E T A N D M AQI Z E 'D-7'-1i'P.?TlilIlIllIlIIIIlllllllllllllllllf-EYE LZ' 'r--'.'a.ff 6 which they have learned to call their Alma Mater. No other influence perhaps excepting the home and church, has contributed as much to the guidance of their likes and dislikes, their ambitions and ideals, their emotions and feelings. Four years of guidance in the cultivation of the ideals of learning and knowledge, and as long a period of sincere and sympathetic interest in our spiritual welfare have given us all a start upon life which will enable us to live lives of credit to our Alma Mater. Some of us have not enjoyed so long' a stay as four years, within the walls of the C. C. H. S. but we are none the less grateful. And for this opportunity given us to choose the Chicago Christian High School as the means of planting in our hearts and minds the seeds of godliness, of true knowledge, of industry, and love for our fellow creatures, we all are sincerely grateful. The fields of knowledge, we have le.arned are not without their pitfalls. Science has been taken up as a cudgel against religion, philosophies repugnant to Christian ideals are rife in this world. People have tried and are trying to cultivate their bodies and souls entirely independent of God's precepts. Our Alma Mater we hope has saved us from the bigotry of some, and from the unbridled liberalness of many. May the Chicago Christian High School continue in a long career of usefulness in our great city. HENRY HOEKSEMA, '24.

Evidence of decay appears on all sides, and all things bear the marks of corruption. The mind, too, has been subjected to contamination. Ours is an educational age. Men are learned. They seek after knowledge, and their progress in this respect has indeed been remarkable. Medicine, law, philosophy, literature, science,-all have made astonishing progress. One needs but to look about him to find himself surrounded by the numerous products of a progressive age. ' Consider the realm of medicine. Think of the measures discovered for the prevention, healing and alleviation of diseases. Consider the achievements of surgery, and the discovery of ether, by the aid of which surgeons may operate upon the most delicate organ without fear of causing pain. Science, too, has leaped forward with rapid strides. In all fields of science amazing discoveries have been made. Much has been revealed which was here- tofore unknown. Extensive research work and painstaking investigations have brought to light facts of untold value to mankind. Products have been invented which bring comfort within reach of all. The forces of nature have been tamed and used in the service of man. Think of the telephone, radio, automobile, elec- tricity, and be reminded that they are all the products of the last generation. Not only in the sciences, but in every field of endeavor progress has been made. God-given talents have been developed. Education has been extended to all. Were we to stop here the conditions would present a most pleasant picture, but we cannot-it would be incomplete. Sin has entered into all fields to adulterate that which is pure and good. Every realm has experienced the bitterness of its presence, and education has not been the least among them. In the realm of thought, that great and guiding factor in the life of mankind, it has concentrated its powers. The mind, God's gift of unestimable worth, Satan has sought to captivate and control. That he hassucceeded, and to a great extent, is evident. What use do men make of their knowledge? Who receives the praise for their discoveries and inventions? The answer is apparent. The people have reared altars upon which they offer sacrifices of praise unto themselves. God is forsaken, His Word trampled upon, and His people ridiculed. New theories are constantly advanced, and new proofs found which prove the fallibility and incon- sistencies of God's Word. Reason has become their guide. Everything that conflicts with their intellectual comprehension of things, both material and spirit- ual, they cast overboard. Education is depended upon to solve all difficulties. It is used against Him who gave it. Learning to a large extent has become a tool of Satan to carry out his destructive plans. This condition is not imaginary, but real. God is deprived of His honor. The Prince of Darkness is using God's plan to further his evil ends. This must not continue without attempts on our part to check it. The task is laid out before us. It is a tremendous one and requires the concentration of all our efforts. We need faith and divine strength-but also training. We must study. We must know the enemies' ground, on which alone they can be defeated. Their influence must not spread unhampered, but their fallacies and unproved theories must be revealed as such by the light of God's Word. We must cast down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God and bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. The situation calls for action, and we must give heed. We may not remain unmoved!

'j.,AjQ5I,, THE COMING OF DAWN Beside the sea, in a little gray cottage, lived Old Don. He was a big, brawny Scotchman-once a sailor. Now he was getting old and he spent his time by the waters he loved. He had many friends, especially among the children. They lilied to sit on the sand by Old Don and listen to the many tales that he could te l. On a hill, some distance from the old man's cottage was a massive stone house. It was here that Dorothy lived with her mother and father. She was an only child, and her parents were indulgent towards her in every way. Dorothy had many playmates, but she usually preferred to spend her time with Old Don. They were great friends. They were well known in the little village of Mayfair, and Old Don was rarely seen there without the young girl. They enjoyed long rambles in the woods or along the shore. But best of all, Dorothy loved to sail in the Mary Ann, the old sailor's little boat. She had learned to sail it herself. Don, in keen enjoyment, would sit on the deck, puffing at his old pipe and watch the girl skillfully manage the little craft. One day while they were walking through the woods, the old man fell and cut his arm severely. Dorothy banhdaged it but it would not stop bleeding. She became worried. The doctor was in the next town and Dorothy decided to take the Mary Ann and get him. When she told Old Don of her plan he protested. Nay, nay, lass, he said, ye mus' na'. There's a storm brewing and ye canna, do it. But Don, you can't let your arm stay that way. You need a doctor. Dorothy was persistent. What was the man to do? He knew he needed the doctor, but he didn't want to send Dorothy out with the probability of a storm meeting her, and it was out of the question for him to go. Dorothy finally persuaded him, and she hurriedly left. Don anxiously watched the sky. The dark, threatening clouds gathered. Two hours passed, two and a half, and no sign of the girl. Don could bear it no longer, and he went to Dorothy's father for help. Larger boats were sent out to look for the missing girl. At dark, the storm broke in all its fury. The wind howledg the mountainous waves lashed against the shore, and the rain beat down unceasingly. The boats returned with bad news. No small boat such as the Mary Ann could ever hope to battle such raging waters with success. Every- one in the village had heard of Dorothy's plight. They all shuddered at the thought of her plight, helpless-, fighting for her life out there on the open sea. All night long the parents sat in utter dejection, praying to God to be merciful, knowing that nothing and nobody on earth could help. All night long, Old Don, his own pain forgotten, paced up and down the shore. He paid no attention to the rain slashing in his face, or to the roaring waves that pounded on the sands. Toward dawn, the storm gradually died down. Don, weak from exhaustion, staggered to the house. But he could have no peace. He could not rest. The mental agony and torture that he endured carried him to the brink of despair. He came from the house and walked toward the sea which he loved., but which had lately been so cruel to him. He went slowly, with bowed head and drooping shoulders. As he drew nearer, he looked up, and with weary, pathetic eyes he gazed over the now peaceful waters. Suddenly he became motionless as a rock, his eyes riveted on an object. It was the body of Dorothy riding on the crest of the waves. Her fair hair lay spread around her pretty, pale face, which still held the ghost of a smile. The light blue dress was sprinkled with sparkling foam. One arm was bent under her-broken, the other rested at her side. The waves washed Dorothy ashore, right close to where Don was standing. He had been 64 'W G 4 03.5-'LSCii-llllIlillllilllllllllllllllIlllllI.IllIIllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllilIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllIIlIlIIllIIIllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIEIIIIEIIIII' 5 nail'-. .f.-'T-GQPFD 'Tl - vs-x,',,',es AxQ35.ggmmlmlnmlmmmllgggg,cggqa V I O L E T A N D M A I Z E Hi-Zz'P.551:llIIlllllIlllllllllllllllllfihEIES'Jf'- '?u'J1f:C9 V , Q . 2 looking on in speechless horror at the sight, but now a terrible cry of anguish z broke from his lips as he dropped' beside the body. 4 O my puir, guid child!

AT SUNSET The sun had sunk in the azure sky, And faint its light did fall On the hill-top and the mountain high, And on the old town hall. It fell on the spring with a shadowy gleam, And illumined the houses oldg ' It made the town and the whole world seem Like one large sea of gold. The day being o'er and labor done, Two men came down the laneg It was a father and his song I know from where they came. They had been at the mining-camp, Looking for work that dayg And the evening air was getting damp, As they homeward made their way. Their efforts with success were crowned, And God had blessed the dayg For work had been so readily found, Before the sun's last ray.

Strong winds sweeping round the street corners caused the busy city throngs to hold their coats closely to them, and to pull' their hats farther down upon their heads. As dusk approached and still greater darkness came to herald the evening, large, airy snowflakes began to fall. Faster and faster they fell and soon everything had been covered with a glistening layer of white. Somehow the world had suddenly taken on a more friendly and cheery aspect, and, as if conscious of the change, and glad of it, too, the people became more cheerful. Busy Christmas shoppers, heavily laden with bundles of every description, now hurried along with a cheerful smile upon their faces, thinking possibly of the joy that their gifts would bring. Business men and women, coming home from their daily work, also seemed to find the world a more pleasant place, for they all went along with a smile for each other and a frequent nod and greeting. As Lorne Carlson turned her lagging steps homeward, she wondered at the fact. Why could others go about with such happy faces? Was their lot yet better than hers? It could hardly be that, for she surely had everything for which she could wish She had attended one of the best high schools of St Louis, and after graduating from there with high honors, she had received two years of normal training She now had a splendid teaching position and almost everything she could wish for Yet she had to admit to herself that she dldn t feel as Joyful and happy as she might be and certainly ought to be Frequently her mother or father would comment upon the fact, but they were still unable to determine the cause of that dissatisfied attitude Naturally it caused them much distress, for she was their only child now living, and they loved her dearly This afternoon Lorne had gone to purchase a few remembrances for her father and mother Although she rarely took a very great interest in other things, select ing gifts for her parents always gave her an added interest Now as she was finished with her shopping, she began to turn her steps towards home Then suddenly as she rounded one of the corners, there came a voice as clear as a crystal bell, singing through the snow filled air, What a friend we have in esus Lorne stopped as if spell bound Where was that kind voice that seemed to be begging her to come? As she listened more closely she found that it came from across the street She hastened across and there she found a courageous little Salvation Army Lassie swinging her little pail, and singing that simple but touching hymn Such a scene was a familiar one to anybody who was at all acquainted with the city s business section, especially since the time was drawing so near to the Christ mas holidays Yet for the first time it had abruptly arrested her attention, and was seemingly directing her thoughts into different channels As that voice rang through the air with those strangely comforting words, Lorne puzzled to herself, Where have I heard that song before? Surely somewh But now the lassie had finished her song, and impulslvely, Lorne stepped over to the little pall and into it she emptied the contents of her purse Then still lost in thought, Lorne began to turn homeward Still that question persisted, and still Lorne wondered where she really had heard that song before But why should she search her memory for an answer to such an idle question, for of what consequence might it be? Possibly none, yet Lorne was still seeking for the answer, and meanwhile fragments of the hymn kept Hitting through her mind Then suddenly, as if in answer to her question, she recalled another little song that she had learned yes, that was where she had learned them at her mother s knee when she was a small child Before sending them to their beds for a good night s rest, her mother would lay aside her work, for she always seemed to be busy even at night, and sing to them some familiar 5 : , . . , .

Soon their eyelids would begin to close, and then mother would take them up in her arms, and carry them to their beds to tuck them under the covers. Ah yes, at that time Lorne had a little brother two years younger than herself, but during an especially cold winter, he had taken a cold, and it soon developed into pneumonia, and shortly after he passed away. Now as Lorne recalled those days which were gone, although they were not so far distant, she thought of how full of care, but yet how happy they had been. At that time, her father had been an ordinary business man, earning scarcely enough to support his family, yet striving with all his might to attain success. After several years of virtual poverty, Mr. Carlson had become a prosperous business man and was now quite well recognized as a leader wherever he went. Yet as Lorne looked back upon those days, Lorne wondered whether after all her father had achieved so much. As concerned wealth and social status, he had gained much, but as to happiness and contentment,-their family life showed that the results had been quite the opposite. True, hunger, lack of sufficient clothing, and the illness and death of one of the dear ones of the family were not causes for rejoicing. Yet, in spite of the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, her mother had always gone about with a song upon her lips, and in the evening, dad would come home to a meager but substantial meal. Then, after supper, he would romp about with her for a while, and then draw his chair around to a comfortable angle, and sit reading the paper the remainder of the evening. Mean- while, her mother would go about her usual work, always with her cheerful smile, and humming a bit from this hymn and a bit from that. Truly a scene of peace, cheer and contentment. Now they had all that money could buy, all the comforts and luxuries of life, but the old-time happiness was gonej What had caused the change? Surely, wealth in itself could not be the cause. Then what was it? With these questions passing through her mind, questions for which she resolved to find an answer, Lorne reached home, and entered the house. That night while eating their evening meal, Mr. Carlson remarked that he would not be home until about midnight, as he had another business meeting to attend. But, dad, you are never home anymore, why don't you let those business meetings go once in a while and Stay at home some evenings. Lorne turned imploringly toward her mother. Mother, don't you think he should? I don't believe that I can remember an evening during the whole year that we've spent at home together, having one of those good old happy times. Yes, Lorne dear, replied her mother, I believe you are quite right. 'I've often felt the same way myself, in fact, I believe that Dad himself would not be sorry if he could bring back those happy times. But you know dear, that if Dad wishes to take care of his position in the right manner, he must devote a large amount of his time to it. I know that I, too, have spent too much time attending all those various club meetings that have been held, but let's agree right now to spend at least one evening together, an evening in which business matters and club matters can be put aside and forgotten. You're going to try, aren't you, Henry? I knew you would. After Mr. Carlson had left the house, Lorne sat down to read a book, and her mother busied herself with some fancy work. Now and then Lorne glanced at her mother's thoughtful face, and wondered to herself whether she ought to tell her what strange thoughts had been aroused within her mind during that afternoon. At length Mrs. Carlson seemed to realize that Lorne had something troubling her, for raising her head a trifle, she looked across at her and asked her to draw her chair closer to her own. A Is there something you would like to tell me, Lorne? she asked, for she felt that Lorne would not tell her voluntarily. 69 0 'Qf454'11'3. 4r'i9u llllllillllillllllllllllllllllIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllll IlllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllIlllllllllllllIIIIEJIIIEIIIII' + .'6liu'.f-'If'?2'-U25 i 5 Nx -4 -'X'lifi5!LllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIEIEQQEI-454 J V I O L E T A N 'D M A I Z E ESP-Z'E?.HIhlllllllllllllllllllllllIIIllL!i?ZE!'X'- 'Tw Why, yes mother, replied Lorne, there is. Isnlt it strange how you always seem to feel it,-or possibly you see it, when I have something to tell you ? Then she began to tell her how forcibly those little hymns sung on the busy street corner had arrested her attention, and how they had carried her back to a few years ago when they themselves had once gathered round the fireplace of a winterls night and had also sung those songs. Lorne's mother was deeply moved as she listened to her, and as she described those happy family hours which they had enjoyed together. Ah! it was true,-there was no mistake about it. What a sharp contrast there was between thosehappy times and the present times! And Lorne's mother, too, sat and wondered what had caused the change. That evening both went to bed with troubled minds, vainly trying to solve their problem. Many days passed by and though Lorne had not yet found the solution to the situation, somehow she felt curiously elated, and more happy than she had been for many days. Strange also, fragments of those olden hymns still lingered in her mind, and somehow that one little line, Whats a friend we have in Jesus, seemed very comforting. And gradually Lorne began to realize that they them- selves had forgotten Him, had indeed ceased to regard Him as their Friend and Helper. For it is a fact that religion no longer occupies a prominent position in the lives of most people during these modern timesg business duties and amusements of various kinds seemingly divert their attention from that. Of course, it was true that certain outward demonstrations, such as attending church every Sunday, were still shown by the majority of people, but aside from that, it really seemed as though religion had ceased to exist. And what a contrast was made then, if one looked back but a few years when all was strikingly different. Immediately in the morning, bright and early, father would conduct a short morning worship service with his small family, prayer was offered at every meal and in the evening, portions of the Bible were again read, and then mother would lead them in the singing of several of those hymns that had been so suddenly recalled by Lorne when the lassie had sung them on the street corner. Slowly, very slowly, indeed, these potent facts dawned upon Lorneis mind, and at last she decided that she was in possession of the solution for which she had been waiting and hoping. That evening. Lorne knelt before her bed and sent a prayer to heaven, a prayer of thanksgiving and joy for having seen the light. Formerly prayer had been merely a habit, which had been acquired during early childhood and had become matter- of-fact during the last few years. Now, however, Lorne's prayer came as a direct expression from hernheart, true and sincere, thereafter a source of joyvand comfort, especially when she was most discouraged. Throughout most of that night, Lorne lay awake, dreaming and planning great things w.hich she hoped to accomplish for her Master. Those dreams did not materialize, it is true, as much as she would have liked them to, but she did her best even though it was not so much. Three years have passed and let us see what has happened during that time. We find Lorne Carlson, a well-known charity worker in her city, loved by her Sunday School pupils, and busily engaged in various other activities. Gone is the old listlessness and aimless view of life. In the Carlson family, too, we notice a vast difference. Father and mother, in spite of their wealth, are as we knew them some ten years previous, not bent upon attending some club or business meeting, but glad to find time for a quiet evening to be spent in the reading of the Great Book. And how has that change been brought about? It is a mystery, surely. But we know from whence those powers proceed. We see the Master not, but we see the manifest results of His boundless influence. Condescendingly, and with a loving heart, God sends his Spirit to bring the lost sheep home, to comfort the despairing, and to enlighten the way for those who see not. And Lorne too, realized that it was God who had spoken to her and called her to a new life. She had found that life is void without a purpose, but full, happy and rich with one.

When selfish- ness, business interests, hatred, and malice are swept away by the loftier qualities of the soul, humanity appears capable of very profound friendship. Everywhere we have silent friends who are proud of us. Alone or in groups, at home or else- where, at work or play, we come in contact with friends who love us, and whom we love. And if it were not for these faithful friends life would not be worth the living. A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere, writes Emerson. The truth underlying this passage is probably the most expressive faculty of the soul. It is conducive to true friendship and the promotion of the highest impulses which control the life of man. I am now thinking of the friendship of David and jonathan. The one in an unselfish and self-sacrificing manner lived in the life of the other. And to be sincere with one another was their luxury allowed. A friend is a paradox. He figures not in terms of compensation. He gives pleasure by his entertainments, gives me joy at the sound of his sweet musical voice, the elevated expression of which stirs me to an attitude of supreme happiness, and he requires nothing on my part. He thinks not of his own little joys, but seeks how, by his endeavors, he can call fort-h some mirth within me. A person sharing cares, Worries, struggles, and agonies, forgetting self in his endeavors, may truly be called a friend. When I am given to retrospection, my- mind invariably recalls those persons who characterize a true friend. Abraham Lincoln, the great statesman, travelling on his lecture campaign was halted by the sight of a small helpless pig which was sinking in the mire. His sympathetic feelings were so roused that unless the pitiful creature received his succor, his mind would be disturbed and his speech deficient. Lincoln's friendship was founded not upon fancy, sentiment, or imagination but upon character which depicts trust and tenderness. An ideal friend has been the object of the search of many. And those who have found Christ as their loyal and saving friend have reached the highest delights of life. 'He sympathized, loved, and gave his life that we might enjoy happiness. Christ is a friend to the forlorn and forsaken in time of need, a friend with whom we may be sincere, a friend to aid, console, comfort, and to be the very essence of our soulsj Jesus sought no honor, no greatness among men, He is a true friend to man. If we realize the simplicity of the friendship of Christ we can appreciate the truth, tenderness, and the beauty of Sir Walter Foss's poem: Let me live in my house by the side of the road- 'Tis here the race of men go by. They are good, they are bad, they are weak, they are strong, Wise, foolish-so am I. Then why should I sit in the scorner's seat Or hurl the cynic's ban? Let me live in my house by the side of the road, And be a friend to man.', A GRADUATE. .W A Z S W K I QQ, 2'4 u 71 I if4'L'f'lS4'1f'2. s-'19-. llllllilllliIllllllllllllIIIIIIlIllIlllIllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIlllllllIllllllIllIlllllllIlllllIllIlllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllIIIIllIIllllIIlllllllllIIIIIIIEIIIIEIIIII!ik'Jil'Leif D 7-J I , .,- 5 x 4 -'X'35fi3l2llllIIlIIIIIlllllllllIIIIIIIEIEFB-1-iiiA V l O L E T A N D M A I Z E P19-1'-69.SlilllllllllllllIllllllllllIllllliiffvf' 1 C l Q SOLACE IN THE P-ROMISED LAND Marie trudged wearily down the road toward the postofiice. The snow lay thick and white on the ground and the trees looked barren. It was bitterly cold. Marie's thoughts were not concerned with the things round about her, but they were dwelling in a far off land-America. A little less than a year ago her father had gone to that country. He was going to prepare a little home for his wife and children to come to. There were more opportunities in America to insure comfort- able living. They had, in a way, been well-to-do here in Holland, but America-ah! America seemed so much better. Seemed, I say, because now Mrs. Rosjan and her children, Jack, Marie and Siert, were downhearted. For five months they had had no word from America. On her way to the postofiice, Marie was thinking of all these things. Where is he? What is he doing? Why doesn't he write? What could have happened to him? These questions were in her mind, but she could find no answer to them. For surely, something must have happened-they had otherwise received a letter regularly, once a week, and now- For five months! Oh, if there's only a letter today! With this hope, Marie walked more briskly. Any letter for Rosjan? she asked of the fat, smiling postmaster. No, Miss, was the brief reply. Marie turned away quickly, to hide the tears in her eyes. Heavy-hearted she went home again. Siert, the oldest, was seventeen, and still attended school. He could speak English fluently. Mrs. Rosjan, Jack and Marie could also speak English, but not as well as Siert. Siert said he would leave school and go to work. They had to have something to live on. Mrs. Rosjan realized what a great sacrifice he was making and-what an effort it had cost him to say it. Jack and Marie, the nine-year- old twins would continue to go to school. That was the arrangement agreed upon, the family was dependent upon Siert for support. And surely, he could get a good position. Not many boys in Holland had as good an education as he. Hundreds of miles away, in America, across the ocean, lay a very sick man in St. Vincent's Hospital, New York. It was Mr. Rosjan. In the building where he had been working, an explosion had occurred, fit was never clearly understood how it came aboutj and Mr. Rosjan was seriously injured. It had affected his brain. And later, besides being very ill, he became mildly insane. His fellow workers had done all they could for him. They did not know that he had a family. They knew he came from Holland, but that was all. The money he had saved was paying for his doctor bills, but the amount was gradually diminishing. For six months he was in the hospital. Then, his money was gone, no one knew his relatives, and he was insane. He was sent to an asylum-an object of charity and PHY- , Two years later the Rosjans were preparing to leave Holland to go to America. Siert had had a very good position with the American consul, and had earned enough to be able to save some money besides providing for the family. Then, Mrs. Rosjan had received a small legacy. They decided to leave and see if there wasn't some possibility of finding Mr. Rosjan. Their friends were skeptical about the success of the undertaking, and feared they would be disappointed. They'll disappear just as he did, some said. Others merely shrugged their shoulders or shook their heads knowingly. The day before they were to go to Rotterdam, Marie came into the house happily. She stopped short at sight of her mother. Why, mother, mother! she gasped. 72 W G1 4 fZ'2.':riii'i2llllllillllillllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllll IllllIIllllllllllllllllIIIIlllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllIllllIllllllllIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllillllillllll ?':6l'm. . f 5 4' 'X'JZfi?!2llIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRIEFiiaiii.

In her hand was a yellow slip-a telegram! Without speaking she held it out for her daughter to read. Marie read: 'fj ROSJAN IN HOSPITAL LETTER FOLLOWS - The paper slipped from Marie's hand and fluttered to the fioor. Marie sank into a chair. But mother, she cried, he's alive! he's alive at least! Her mother shook her head slowly, almost despairing of hope. And now a new matter came up. Their passports had been engaged, and if they did not go then, they would lose the money, and that would never do. But a letter,-the letter they had hoped and longed and prayed for was coming, coming. It was finally settled that they were to go as they had planned, and Mrs. Rosjan's sister promised to send the letter to them in America. Meanwhile, they could only hope and pray for the best. And so they left Holland,-sorrowful, depressed, and fearful, setting out for new soil, strangers in a new land. On the boat, everything seemed strange. jack and Marie watched the Americans with curiosity. Their customs were so different. And all the rich food that was served-such sweet pastries! And all the fruit! To these people, accustomed only to plain, simple fare, everybody seemed extravagant. They could not imagine such luxury and could hardly believe the things that were spoken of America. They all enjoyed the restful ocean trip except for one thing- the worry about Mr. Rosjan. But there was the joy at least of knowing that he was alive. Oh! the glad day when land was seen! There was a grand shout when the Statue of Liberty came into view. And then everyone stood silent and bare- headed as they passed that symbol which meant and stood for liberty. The Rosjan's stood by the rail, their hearts too full for expression, their eyes shining, their thoughts half glad and half sad. America! was the one thing that impressed them most. Eager and expectant, they got off the boats, had their baggage and passports examined, and entered the great city of New York. The twins stood in wide- eyed, open-mouthed wonder and amazement at the mass of people that swept before them. And the automobiles! Of course, they had seen a few, but never so many, and such a variety, and all at the same time. They went to an inexpensive boarding-house. Siert found work. Thus they waited for the promised letter that never came. Time passed and they knew no more about Mr. Rosjan than before. They had to struggle for a living, and could not afford to make an extensive search. , One day, Jack, as reckless and as daring as a boy could be, dashed into the street after a dog. He was struck down by an automobile and was brought to a hospital. Rosjan, Rosjanf' exclaimed the nurse in attendance. I've heard that name before. It's rather unusual too. She made inquiries. She found the man who had been a patient of hers. A specialist said he could be cured of his insanity by an operation. His former fellow-workers had furnished the money. But now Mr. Rosjan was sad and lonely. His family had left Holland, and he could find no trace of them. After the nurse heard his story, she asked him to come to the hospital sometime. He promised, and a few days later he came. The nurse brought him to the children's ward. Father! Father! Oh! what a cry of joy! Father! My own dear Father!', Mr. Rosjan turned quickly. There on the bed lay a young boy, his face shining and his arms stretched out. My son,', uttered Mr. Rosjan with a low cry that was half a sob, and dropped to his knees beside the lad.

V I O L E T A N D M A I Z E '5:1451551fjmmmlmmnululgmgugjgpf- 'f-. c FRIENDSHIP Friendship is a mutual esteem cherished by kindred minds, that is, a respect and love one person has for another. Our life is dependent upon friendship, for friendship means love, and love means peace. And without peace we could not dwell upon this earth. The fact that we do not care to live in solitude is undoubted. Therefore, the question is not whether we want a friend, but what kind of friend do we want, and'what kind of friends should we have. We are not looking for the friendship which exists between some little children, nor that which exists between some of our chattering ladies, who talk about three hundred and seventy-six days in a year, nor should we have a friend who would leave and forget us when we fall into troubles and dangers. We're looking for friendships that cannot be torn away even though it must end in death,-friendship like that of David and Jonathan,-friendship that money cannot buy. - It would be profitable to take cognizance of the necessities and benefits of friendships. Don't we need a friend to correct our faults in everyday life, to honor our good works, to help us outof troubles and dangers, and will not a friend do this, and a great deal more? , But the benefits are greater than the necessities of friends. Bacon said, No receipt openeth the heart but a true friend to whom we may impart griefs, joys, fears, hopes, suspicions, and counsel. Is it not true,that if we impart our griefs to a friend we grieve the less, if we impart our fears we will be comforted, if we impart our suspicions we will be guided, and if we impart counsel we will be happier for it? If we have a true friend we have two lives, for if we would die and leave a certain work unfinished, a friend will gladly put forth all his efforts to finish it. But we must beware of the false friends, who go around like wolves in sheep's clothing. We all admit that it is hard to get along in this sinful world with one another, but the effort must be put forth, and often it brings delightful fruits, God grant that we may all have friends, for friendship constitutes peace, and love which is the greatest of all. .

The Board had set Saturday, March 6, 1926, for laying the cornerstone of the Chicago Christian High School, and that day had finally come. And all the friends of the institution that could possibly come were at Seventy-First and May Streets. A Some of those gathered there were pioneers in the struggle for a Chicago Christian High School. For them the day must have been an especially great one since now there was before them a tangible result of their toil and sacrifice. No doubt they became retrospective and reviewed the long struggle,-thought of those who had labored but who had not been permitted to see the promised land. Some there were who had taken up the struggle where others had left off. The members of the Board were there in good number. They had wrestled with plans and finances and now they could see the building of their imaginations begin to be a building of wood and stone. Also the faculty was represented. For them was opened the vista of better facilities, of more pleasant surroundings, of greater efficiency. The students, too, gave indication of their deep interest by their presence. Mr. George Ottenhoff, who as president of the School Board has done so much to speed our building program, acted as chairman. Mr. Knoll, vice-president, spoke to us about the value of Christian education and about the relation of our Christian High School to the community. Mr. Fakkema gave us a short history of the school, and when we were told how Hin the early part of September of the year of 1919, in a drizzling rain, a small group of school boys and girls lingered at the threshold of an unprentious building at the southwest corner of Seventy- Second Place and Loomis Street, and when the dilapidation and discomfort of that building was pictured to us, we felt that God had indeed been propitious, and also that our present cramped conditions are at least better than those endured by the first students and by the pioneer teachers,-Mr. Fakkema and Miss Rooks. Rev. Hiemenga addressed us with his usual,vigor and pointed out that the free Christian schools are not only the ideal but that the very building we were putting up again showed the practicability of the movement. Rev. H. Blystra expressed his delight with the progress of our school and urged us on to greater efforts. Mr. H. Kuiper, formerly principal of Ebenezer and one of the first in the struggle for a Chicago Christian High School, told us in his inimitable and stirring way, of the days when our people scoffed at Jim De Boer's High School, and of the way in which that school had become the school of all of us. Mr. A. Blystra, Secretary of the Board, placed in a suitable receptacle which was later put in the corner stone, various documents such as a history of our school, a copy of the original motion to set up a new building, a copy of an appreciation of Mr. James De Boer's work taken from the Annual dedicated to him, and a list of the names of our first Board members, of our present faculty members, of our first graduates, and of our present student body. At this time, Mr. Ottenhoff, with due formality and with pleasing deftness, laid the corner stone. Another milestone in our onward career had been passed. MR. H. A. SwE'rs.

He got up and began to feel for the cellar steps. His steps led him to the kitchen. In spite of himself, he began to walk on tiptoe. The moon came out with such suddenness from behind a cloud, that he jumped. He wished the moon would go away. It made too many shadows. It did go away, and he went on exploring. Very slowly, and cautiously he crawled forward, when suddenly a board creaked. He lost three pounds that second. His groping hands encountered something. A table-but on the table, a cold, clammy, slimy, wet something, and it stuck to his lingers. His belief in ghosts rose to far above par. He tried to shake the stuff off, but in vain. His mouth was dry, he could not cry out. The room seemed filled with spirits. Suddenly, wildly, insanely, he shook his hand. The stuff fell off. In some mysterious way he got some of it in his mouth. Before he had time to faint, he tasted the stuff. It was jam. This was enough for one night. The nextthing todo was to lay down on the fioor and try to sleep. He counted sheep. Finally he dozed, but awoke again. He counted some more sheep, but it wou1dn't work again. The silence in the little shack became a roar in his ears. A sizzing sound in the cellar! He began to count goats, but suddenly there were no more goats-just a clear patch of light. It must be a mistake-there could be no light. He looked closer. No, there wasn't. The sizzing sound in the cellar continued. There was a light! Not exactly a light, but a shimmering-oh, it was dawn. No, it couldn't be, for the light came from the west. Besides, it didn't look like daylight. It began to grow larger. The sizzing in the cellar increased in volume. The spot of light on the wall increased in size. A low hum now filled the air. The light rapidly grew as the hum increased to a roar. It drowned out the sizzing sound. The light grew, then suddenly Hooded the room. A crash-Then all grew black,-an impenetrable darkness. Amen.

The Senior Class '26 now presents its VTIOLET AND MAIZE. The Annual is intended to give a picture resume of school life. It is a record of the happy hours that we have spent together as teachers and students. We attempt to give a true picture of our school life in all its phases from Athletics to Literature. The spirit and ideals of a school are largely reflected in the type of annual it produces. The staff trusts that the 1926 VIOLET AND NIAIZE fulfills its purpose.

It was all white and had doors on three sides. The other side was lined with white chairs. On one of these sat a broad-shouldered, serious looking man, hair parted in the middle, and wearing a lovely mustache. He seemed very serious. He twirled his hat about and fidgeted in his chair. Once he changed chairs. Suddenly a door opened, and a figure in white passed through the room, grinning evilly at the unhappy man, then went into a room marked Private Ten minutes later the same figure returned and going softly up to the victim, regarded him with an evil leer-at least it seemed so to the hapless wretch in the chair. Suddenly the torrnentor's hand shot out and his face broke into a smile as he said: Congratulations, Mr. Swetsg it's a boy. UTILITARIANISM A Cecelia O.- You haven't any brains.

Sympathetic Student- Oh, that's all right Mr. Swets, but don't let it happen again. NOW WE KNOW THERE'S A SANTA CLAUS One Monday morning Mr. Fakkema was greeted by a strange atmosphere about the school. Students were gathered in small groups in all the rooms, whisper- ing in subdued tones, shaking their heads and looking perplexed. Something unique had taken place-something which enshrouded the school in mystery. One sentence in particular Cspoken by a Seniorj was wafted to the ears of Mr. Fakkema- I never really did believe in Santa Claus before! This remark somewhat disconcerted Mr. Fakkema. At last he could stand it no longer. He marched up to Mr. Mouw and said, What is all this foolishness here about our students believing in Santa Claus all of a sudden? What's happened? Oh, said Mr. Mouw, coolly, Mr. Swets has a moustache. The man who has not anything to boast of but his illustrious ancestors is like a potato-the only good belonging to, him is underground.

WORDS FOR CYNICS Foolish is the fellow who believes all that he hears, but not nearly so foolish as he who believes nothing. A A CHIVALROUS THOUGHT Mr. Sietsema- You'll have to remain with me for extra session. Hank S.- I don't care on my own account. But ain't you afraid you'll get talked about? APPRECIATIVE Abie- A batch of jokes I sent to the editor were rejected as no good, but when I threw them into the stove the fire just roared. ' FOND RECOLLECTIONS-WHEN: Heinie V. D. B. was independent. Bungie CF. Weersingl wore short pants. Somebody threw a snowball through the window in Room 3 and hit Mr. De Boer who was in the throes of eloquence. Somebody dropped a stench bomb in Room 5. Somebody pulled all the maps down in Room 2-F. Weersing is the only one that can reach them.-Oh, Well. Connie and Stub comprised one Latin class. We had red cards for tardies. , Bob V. K. climbed through the Window in Room 3 and we locked him out. Sid Y. fell out of a canoe. CGentle reader, that's why he's wet behind the earsj. Abel V. K. didn't like girls. H. V. D. B. thought he liked wedding cake. Mr. Sietsema held his music classes. We had assembly meetings. The Athletic Board members came to the banquet with wing collars. Heinie and Della went to school and home again together. We used to get a day off on the excuse that we had to work on our debates. Mr. Swets was a single man. t Mr. Swets was not a father. 2 The Seniors attended school. We cut up dead frogs.

But your sign says, 'First Class Hair Cut 35c,' and here you're trying to charge me 50. Barber- Yes, I know, but you haven't got first class hair. WORDS OF WISDOM Sedentary work, said the college lecturer, tends to lessen the endurance. In other words, butted in the smart student, the more one sits, the less one can stand. Exactly, retorted the lecturer, and if one lies a great deal, one's standing is lost completely. Buy your thermometers in the winter time-they're always higher in the summer. COMMERCIAL ART Little pads of rubber, Little drops of paint- Make the bad report card Look like what it ain't. OF COURSE Inquisitive old gent- What course will you graduate in? Student- In the course of time. CAN'T HAVE IT Jack came into the office and demanded the Life of Julius Caesar. You're too late, said Mr. De Boer, Brutus took it long ago. SERVICE! Somebody asked for a match. Strike.me and see how fast I'll light on you, said H. V. d. B. HISTORY'S HERO Mr. Sietsema- You pupils will have to stay an extra session if your conduct is not improved. Usual Voice from the Rear-- Give me liberty or give me death! Mr. Sietsema Cabove laughterj- Who said that? Usual Voice from the Rear- Patrick Henry.

NOT TO BE TAKEN AWAY A well-dressed lady was seated in a bus next to John V. d. B., who was sniffing audibly. She bore it for some time, then said- Have you got a handkerchief, little boy? Yes, replied John, but my mother said I should not lend it to strangers. A wart is your best friend-always on hand. A GENEROUS INHERITANCE Mr. Sietsema- Jacob, I hear that your big brother has mumps. Do you think you will get them? Jacob D.- Yess'r. I'll get them just as soon as he outgrows 'em. FAIR ENUFF Mother- My, you've been fighting again. Sid- Yes, I've had all my teeth knocked out. Mother- Just for that you'll go to bed without supper. STRIVING FOR THE TOUCH The professor had asked time and again for the students to put more personal touch in their themes so one of the papers which he received ended thus: Well Professor how are the wife and kiddiesg and by the way before I forget it could you lend me five dollars? Bed is a bundle of paradoxes 5 we go to it with reluctance yet we quit it with regretg we make up our minds every night to leave it early but we make up our bodies to keep it late. THE FINISHING TOUCHES Helen Z.- I've just seen a man who makes horses. Everett V.- Are you sure? Helen- Yes, He had a horse nearly finished when I saw himg he was just nailing on his back feet. A AN EXPERIMENT? The professor was putting the new men through a mental test to determine their originality. Young man what would you do if this room were to burst into flames? I'd run out of it sir. But suppose that you had become paralyzed with fearg could not control your musclesg were glued to the spot as it were by mental mucilage. What would you do then? I'd stick it out sirg and when the fire had perceptibly softened the mucilage I'd ooze out through the cracks in the floor sir. 102 U A iw:G 7,-'f.'2. u'l9-'iellll EllllillllllllllllllIllllllllllllIllllllllll IlIllIIlIlllIIIIllIlllIIllIllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEIIIIEIlllll f.'fl 'a'-ff D 1 l L 'u Ye .. 5!K!+.2s'4 'X'JEHllllllllIlllIlllllllllllIIIIIIEIEFR-iii V l 0 L E T A N D M A I Z E zzegiaggm,.mmmm,,,,,,,,.,,,mrgggg- -.-' p.ra,1feb 2 3 BE PHOTOGRAPI-IED THIS YEAR ON YOUR BIRTHDAY J.

One day he said to his brother John, May I tell you a narrative, John? John, not being used to hearing such big words, said, What is a narrative, Jack? A narrative is a tale, said Jack. That night when going to bed, Jack said, Don't forget to extinguish the light, John. John asked, What do you mean by saying extinguish? Extinguish means put out, said Jack. A few days later John was entertaining a few of his friends at home, when the dog, all bespattered with mud, walked in. John became angry at this unexpected and undigniiied intrusion. Tommy, he said, take that dog by the narrative and extinguish him. DOGLESS Pete De Vries Cto his friendj- Mose, can you explain wireless telegraphy to me? Mose- Yessuh, it's like dis: Ef you-all had a long, long houn' dawg, an' he stretched from Cincinnaty to Cleveland, and you stept on his tail in Cincinnaty, he would howl in Cleveland. Dat am telegraphy. Only in wiahless you does de same ting without de dawg. It's no fun to suffer in silence unless you first make noise enough to attract observers. DID YOU KNOW THAT It is estimated that 3,481 toothpicks are lost in the United States and possessions every year. To remove tomato juice stains from shirts, an ideal remover is a pair of scissors. An eminent scientist has recently discovered that when snowballs bounce they are not snowballs. When soup freezes, ice is formed. According to statistics, 8'Z, of all tears in the United States are caused by onions. Most of the jewelry in the British empire is composed of rings, bracelets, diamond wrist watches, etc.. . . . Turnips are not the main course at most of our leading restaurants. Of 3,450,229 gum machines in the United States, only about 2,041 generally work, and of these, more than 2,000 are empty. Sixty-five per cent of the American dogs are gound up to make German sausage every year. The greatest known feat since the Civil War is pig feet. Almost all students are studious. The penalty for any show of sentimenalism is capital punishment, according to State Statute No. 9,346,654,768,943.
