.....1 FACULTY PLUS STUDENTS COMPLETES C. C. H. S. UNIT Our dear old Christian High!-ah, a venerable school it is! And how many and great her virtues! 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
