He alone has achieved success who has daily fel- lowshiplwith God and a love for mankind-who has gained the respect oi pure and intelligent men and women and the love of little children-who has filled his niche and accomplished his task-who has de- veloped his talents in the world-who has looked for the best in others and has given the best he had- whose life was an inspiration, whose memory a benediction. But the edifice of success is like a sky scraper-one must climb to reach the top, one must persevere and use each vice as a stepping stone to higher advancement. This being the inspiration of the graduates of 1936, our sole outlook on life as its portals open this day, We have endeavored to clari- fy in the following pages the criterion for a success- ful career. Not that these depicted are all inclusive, but they serve as scafile lumber. And we have rendered to your mind such an inspiration with these ideals, our attempt to make this annual distinctive in character has not been in vain. ONWARD TO' SUCCESS! I-I I-I In recognition of the untiring leader- ship of Mr. George Ottenhoff as pres- ident of the Chicago Christian High School Board, We the senior class de- cree this dedication. For more than ten years he has been the heart and soul of the board. The school board under his leadership has been an influence for good unexcelled. It has safely guarded the interests and needs of our institution during seven strenuous years of financial upheaval. The work of our school board under Mr. George Qttenhoff has become vital and far- reaching. It is imperative that We con- vey to him and his fellow members of the board this our sincere admiration, and we pledge to the school's future needs our youthful support.

If they only could be laid side by side to show the out- side world what a long link it really constitutes! But, alas, they are intangible, they cannot be laid hold of-the atmosphere is their protector. The air of Christian High is filled with a sweet breeze, a breeze refreshing to both skin and heart. For there in those four walls we find a unity, a feeling of oneness only experienced by the occupants. There in Christian High we experience a particularly unique relationship between those our honorable teachers and the student body. Students are more than units on the assembly line to be shoved on as human beings with a need of guidance and education with the greatest speed possible. Students there constitute the teacher's whole interest, and their advancement is their concern. Each student has a soul, a soul akin to that of the faculty. Both student and teacher seeks fellowship with the same God. And out of the mutual realization of this revelation, the existing understanding develops. The students' problems are better comprehended, the students' actions more easily understood. And even though at times our partnership is imperfect, the principle of unity remains and stands fast. And as Home with respect to her Coliseum so Christian High in respect to its virtue of oneness, stands- ! When comradeship breaks, unity will fall. When unity falls, Christian High will fall. A solemn thought-and a beautiful thought--Faculty plus students com- pletes the C. C. H. S. unit! The relationship of students toward teachers is equally distinctive. Teachers are no more automatic machines for installing Latin or algebra. They are not drill masters intent on having the students stereotyped. They are human beings, the students' friends, and sometimes personal friends. And this under- standing of our place in school life is part of our training for a successful career. And still how often students fail to visualize this! ln this, too, the student body has its imperfections, and yet, the principle and knowledge is there. Faculty plus students completes the C. C. H. S. unit! Never pity students or teachers. We live together from day to day enjoying each other's presence, and even though the best of students jumps high when one of the faculty is absent, each night we loath to bid adieu. We are not slaves nor masters. We are friends and acquaintances, principally one Dutch family gathered together to share knowledge and further God's kingdom. And be it thus- Faculty Plus Students Completes C. C. H. S. Unit! forever- ONWARD TO SUCCESS! 16 Character S mf Ll 11 ... .lg-,.

Yes, that's my topic, but before I describe this phase of our school career, I must take you back to the days when we were freshmen. When we senior students were enrolled in the Chicago Christian High School in September, 1932, little did we know of the fine qualities that would- shine forth from our fellow classmates. Since our first entrance to these portals to the present time, we have constantly been in close contact with each other and have come to know and appreciate the qualities and per- sonalities of every scholar. During the four years we have also found out the true character and ability of the teaching staff and principal. Their patience and faithfulness have been shown at all times and we, as seniors, appreciate the interest they have manifested toward us. We have learned to take part in the social life of the school as well as to engage in academic studies. A thorough, well-balanced course was set before us, and we realize that the lessons which have seemed difficult, will follow us through life. ' Our first three years have been one great preparation for senior duties. l know the seniors feel responsible for the various positions given them and also appreciate the fact that the teachers trust that they will fulfill these duties. There are several important undertakings which are left to the seniors. They publish the school paper and the annual. This year the seniors have been quite active. They organized the student council and also performed excel- lently in the senior play, The Man From Nowhere. Among the social events of the year was the junior and senior banquet, which proved to be a huge success. In the past year leadership and cooperation were constantly stressed. We can say in all sincerity that we are loathe to bid adieu to the faculty: for you, teachers, have moulded our minds and character and prepared us to go onward. When we go forth from these walls which we love, may we ever remember you and your part in making us successful! Some of us will seek a higher education, some will engage in business, and others will stay home, but I know that wherever we go, we will be proud to say that we are alumnae of the Chicago Christian High School. And now adieu teachers, principal, and fellow students! Ieanette I-lasper ONWARD TO SUCCESS! 27 . ,- ,.,,.- ,....-.,,'-,fs ,W --.-Q.. .V AIR CASTLES I built a castle in the air, It fell to earthy I knew not where. A castle-at the mere mention of the word, a vision rises before us of the beautiful old castle of long ago, with its graceful flanking towers, fanciful staircases and fair princesses. A romantic thought, indeed! . Well then, you say, what is an air castle? They are the fondest dreams, tenderest aspirations, and amorous hopes of the human heart, woven together in- the great vague hope that some day they may become a part of our reality. We all have our day dreams. Youth in all its glory must build its castles. They belong to them. They are a part of them. Do not we all dream of, maybe, some day falling into possession of some rich inheritance or perhaps finding our name written in the hall of fame. And, who does not, within his innermost self, hope some day of meeting that handsome lover, brave and bolcl. What a great source of joy and happiness flows from the joyful anticipation of these vagaries: and yet, how sad and bitter the disappointment--sometimes-when we see them vanish from our vision. How often are our dreams not vain and selfish, and when they fail, we turn with sinking of heart-from these prostrated masses-and wonder why. Dreams based on things unsubstantial, castles biiilt on the pleasures of the world, hopes founded on abstract foundations can- not endure. Our foolish young hearts grow frigid within us, and we turn in pain and remorse-when they come crashing in torrential downpour at our Set. Let us build our castles on truly noble purposes establishing them on possi- bilities, not improbabilities. Let us build them really beautiful with Christ as our foundation and not the world or our own vain imaginary visions. When we build our castles upon the rock, they will be concrete and the storms of life' will not sway them. And now, at this, the dawning of our lives, let us strive' earnestly and prayer- fully to build this castle. Then, and only then, will our dreams become realities and our castles stand firm forever. y ll I built a castle in the air, It stood firm: God was there.

A COURT 'TRIAL Is az Student Worthy of a Vacation? The trial of jerry Student is taking place on a beautiful spring morning. Excitement is runing high as the entire student body Waits expectantly. A great deal depends on the verdict which the judge will give shortly: for if he should decide that Ierry doesn't deserve a rest, all the scholars Will be required to continue their Work during the summer months. Many Witnesses have taken the stand, including Iohnnie Faculty, and Frank Board. Iohnnie thinks that some of the students are Worthy of a vaca- tion, While others need an opportunity to really Work: but as a Whole they really need a brief respite. Mama and Papa dislike to see their offspring Wandering aimlessly around the streets and they think that it would be wise to shorten the period. And Frank said that Ierry should have a vacation and have his fun While he was young. Suddenly a great stillnesslpermeates the room as the attorney sums up the case. jerry has been faithful in keeping up his scholastic standing, he has entered wholeheartedly into all school activities: and he has shown much spirit in backing up his school's standards in his everyday life. Ierry on the Whole has been a very good citizen of C. C. H. S. and Worked diligently for many months. T The judge then charged the jury and it retired for deliberation. The bailiff announced a recess and the students left for a brief interval. However, Within one hour all returned and resumed their anxious Watch. Without notice the door of an adjacent room is opened and the jury files solemnly to its box. The spokesman arises, clears his throat, and after many preliminary remarks, pronounces the student Worthy of a vacation. At last the pent up feelings of the students were set free, and with one accord all began to yell: l-U-H-Y, I-U-R-Y That's the Way you spell it- Here's the Way you yell it- Iuryl jury! Hurrah! The judge pounded the gavel and at length order was restored. He spoke: Hear ye! hear ye! I hereby sentence the entire student body to three months of rest, relaxation, and revelry.-The case is dismissed! 34 ir 5: a T 'iff Y :.g?' N x 1 K , X K?

And what would our school be Without its vast amount of social life? Though academic interests must remain pre- dominant, students need a life-giving stream-a stream oi sociability to send them on with new energies. All streams have a source, and our social stream has its source in a huge sea called club life. Yes, a huge sea, for we are many. Christian High School has a club to tit every student Whether his inter- ests be in sports or in dramatics. It makes no difference-it's all conducive to sociability. We have many clubs and yet all the clubs belong to a still greater unit-our consolidated institution. And it must be so, for as soon as clubs become cliques their fruits become evil instead of good. The predominant purpose of clubs is to foster social lite and activities: to arouse a patriotic school spirit. But each club has a secondary aim, some activity which they can Work for and further. It may be a religious aim, it may be dramatic, it may be athletic. And this secondary aim occupies their concern at meetings and entertainments. Social life, it might well be said, is but a fruit of getting together, talking things over, and gaining an understand- ing of each other. Without clubs, truly Christian High would be a mass of individuals plodding away quite aimlessly. You never can judge a student rightly unless you've met him face to face in his club-there's where his real nature exhibits itself. Clubs are the ho- gans of the students. Club announcements pour in at chapel time thus to be read appropriately at the beginning of the day- . . . club will meet in room 200 directly at noon. An extra plea to be present is superfluous. An announce- ment, that's all, and they're there. There for business, for a good chat, and a recuperation for more classes to come. The current school year terminated many large events sponsored by clubs. Numerous socials, roller skating par- ties, and banquets have been managed by students with much success. To thus learn to understand each other through their frequent meetings, students gradually develop socially and almost unconsciously prepare themselves for leadership in social life!

Anyone wandering through the high school corridors during the first period would inevitably hear Maestro Baar and his C. C. H. S. Warblers! The choir owes a million and one thanks to Mr. Baar, Who has unstintedly given his efforts in producing a choir Which, We hope, can be classified as a first rate chorus. The choir members take pride in their director: for, in case you folks don't know it, Mr. Baar was highly hon- ored With the position of directing the Boys' Chorus of the ln and About Cho- rus of Chicago. Thus we as a school can be justly proud of our choir and its able director. OFFICERS President ............... Iarine Althuis Vice-President ....

Oh, pardon me, those are the melodic strains of the band: and you wager they are practic- ing for that chapel appearance. They shun public display of their talents for this year, but just wait-next semester marks the beginning ot a banner year. With the encouragement and direc- tion of Mr. I. Baar, we expect that in the future the band will be anxious to provide regular programs at opportune times. Listen to the roll of the drum! 41 R . Vanden Berg, D. De Vries, M. Lubben, R.

During the past year Euphemia has been busy present- ing the essentials of etiquette to its members, sponsoring clever programs for the entertainment of C. C. H.

I x Organizing the council T , ig J' :- C C H S HPVHRNMENT f 2' flvery year brings something new- ,-gl935 ushered in a distinctive system of t' student government. Students often no- 7 A I 1 I I ticed that there was one link of the school chain missing, and it has now been inserted. A distinctive system it x 'Ntruly is, for consider how closely it re- , y t V 1 sembles the national government. First, there is the Student G o v e r n rn ent League, to which house all students are eligible upon the payment of ten cents fee for the school year. Every ten weeks ,I this open house elects five of its most able constituents to serve as the Stu- dent Council. The elections, however, alternate. The five elected serve twenty Weeks and in the meantime another five drop out and are replaced. ln this manner, an opportunity to serve is giv- en to a large number of students, and : -yet there is never a single term at which time the entire Student Council is replaced. It always has a reserve of five members. This effective device has worked splendidly and will undoubted- ly do so in the future. Such an organ- ization needs time to attain the place it ought to occupy in school life. It should become the executive of all school clubs responsible and subject only to the faculty. It is quite imperative that we here recognize the service of our most able faculty advisor, Mr. G. H. Mouw. His efforts on the behalf of the Student Council have been and always will be appreciated by all his co-workers in the Council. 51 X.,- I I. Baar, W. Griffioen, A. Bosma, C. Toren, M. Rgetdyk, Mr, H.

Indeed for the past four years her head has been swelling with the vast accumulation of knowledge you have tried to prescribe for her. Now the nine parts of her head have assumed such gigantic proportions that it affords us doctors great uneasiness, fearing lest this vast storehouse of facts burst and its treasures be scattered upon such an unappreciative audience as we. She has also succumbed to periodical dizzy spells, contracted, no doubt, from climbing upward these four years in search of wisdom. She has, in addition, a very heavy heart, which organ I-couldn't very well amputate. The blood rushes to her head whenever she is asked a question in which there is the least chance that she may not know the answer. The heart, with all its throbbing pulses, is heavy with the thought of parting from her dear friends. I have never seen such a violent case of nervousness. Why, she is greatly subject to spells and fits that approach the appearance of insanity. These fits cannot be accounted for other than to say that they are violent outbursts of anger at the teachers for all the homework, and for four years there has been no way of expressing this resentment without being obtrusively dismissed from the class. Upon further examination I detected many scars which, no doubt, reflect on discipline methods which I thought discarded, but apparently are not. And then after daily falls up and down the steps it's no wonder-really, if I con- sider all the possibilities, she hasn't many trade marks. There has never been a patient with more ills than this one. Imagine, she's getting smaller and smaller-shrinking under the ponderous weight of study. It's absurd to hopefully expect her return to school. No, there is no hope! The class of '36 has become too wise to linger longer. Last week a council of specialists decided to operate on her brain. In this indigestible mass of brain material they found the cause of every symptom. There they found a jumble of mathematics, science, literature, plus about ten years of reading, writing, spelling, language, four years history, German, Latin, algebra, one year of geometry, some French and chemistry. There is no chance for relief. If we remove the brains she'd be an idiot for life and this way she can't live. No, there's no hope for recovery-none. In fact, right now her pulse is beat- ing at a most alarming rate, her nerves are keyed up to a high pitch, and her temperature is l84.3OC. in the shade. She's dying-her last request comes forth-her own will. She asks you to forget her failures and to come to her funeral. She's failing fast-she's dying-she's dead! Chicago Christian High School announces the annual death of a senior class. Funeral rites to be held graduation night. 63 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the graduating class of the Chicago Christian High School, of the City of Chicago, County of Cook, State of Illinois, in the year of our Lord, one thou- sand nine hundred and thirty-six, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby make, ordain, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament.
