IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIg.h.s.IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIrodeoIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII 1931 lllllllllllllllll were the leading society ladies of New York. Realizing that we, after our journey, were in need of refreshments, Miss Young ordered her chauffeur to drive us to the Meerman Restaurant on Broadway, where we found that Mr. Meerman’s wife, formerly Miss Ernst, was as- sisting him by supervising the culinary department. Dining opposite us were Miss Spinner and Miss Stroven. These young ladies were op- erating a hair-dressing parlor catering exclusively to the wealthy. Miss Dyksterhouse was in their employ making advertising posters for them. After partaking of a delicious meal, we bade our convivial group adieu and continued our sight-seeing tour. Stepping out on the street our attention was attracted bv a large crowd gazing interestedly at a raised platform. Elbowing our way into the crowd, we became aware of the fact that Mr. Luther and Mr. Gillhespy were conducting a rigaret blindfold test, and that officers Merrick, O’Brien and Russell were the policemen busily engaged in keeping the crowd under control. Leaving the interested crowd, we met Miss Gibbs, who was just returning to her dress-making shop. She informed us that she had just received a letter from Miss Yeeneman, world’s champion typist, and that in reply to her request she told her what had become of some of her classmates. Frances also informed us that Miss Bultliuis and Miss Tikkanen were employed as grade teachers in Coopersville. Also that Mr. and Mrs. TerAvest, nee Vivian Lieffers, were conducting the “Ye Olde Tea Tavern” in Eastmanville. Miss Wolbrink was employ- ed in the millinery department of J. J. Wolbrink’sstore. Mr. Gunne- man was sent to Japan as foreign missionary. After leaving Miss Gibbs at her shop, we decided to attend a recital of the New York Symphony Orchestra at the Roxy Theatre. When the curtain parted we were astounded to find that Mr. l uma was directing the orchestra and Mr. Wright was occupying the first chair in the saxophone section. Between orchestral selections, Miss Lillie interpreted, on the piano, the latest current song hits of the day. After departing from the theatre we stopped for a moment at a news stand and purchased an edition of “The New York Times.” In glaring headlines we read the following: “DE WITT, NATIONALLY KNOWN LAWYER, WINS THE HIGGINS-WALLACE CASE.” Turning to the sporting section we saw another startling headline: “VIC SCOTT OUT OF YANKEE LINE-UP FOR THREE WEEKS.” Reading further we found that the reason for his absence was due to a torn ligament that he sustained while sliding home in the'Yankee’s game the previous day. Garret Bennick has also entered the athletic world and has made a name for himself in the wrestling kingdom. As it was now time for our ship to be leaving, we hastened to the landing field and soon were soaring through the air, homeward bound. O. T. B. G. T. E. Page Twenty-seven

Illllllllllllllle h S.lllllllllllllllllRODEOllllllinillllll 1931 lllllllllllllllll CLASS ORATION “Influence of the Sunday School in Building Christian Character” Prize Winning Oration, Local and Ottawa County Sunday School Oratorical Contest. Written and Delivered by JOE ESTHER GEORGE WASHINGTON once said that religion and intelligence were indespensible, that we needed both religious and mental education for proper managing of our government and well suc- ceeded citizenship. Washington’s ideal has been partly realized. To- day we have the public school which we are all compelled to attend; millions attend our high schools and many thousands our colleges and universities. Our government is doing its duty in building up its citizens intellectually. Rut if any democracy such as ours is to stand, there must be two great school systems working side by side. The public school is invaluable because people who are to do collective thinking to con- trol a great democratic govcrnmenr must have a body of common knowledge, and common ideas, ideals and standards. The public school is the great agency through which these common ideals and standards are fostered. But the primary and direct purpose of the public school is to develop the inti 1 lect. Yet we know that no educa- tion is complete which ignores the religious element. This religious element cannot be furnished by the public school system. To intro- duce religion into the public schools would make it impossible for them to preserve the unity of society so necessary to our democracy, for we certainly do not want the same form and religious teaching, and one fundamental principle of our government is a free church within a free state. Thus we see that another great school system is necessary. That need is fulfilled bv the Sunday School. The public school builds up the mind while the Sunday School builds up the character. The pub- lic school sharpens the wits; the Sunday School teaches us to use these sharpened wits for truly good ends. The public school imparts infor- mation; the Sunday School teaches us ideals founded in Christ. In short, the public school gives us the technical knowledge found in the arts and sciences, while the Sunday School furnishes us the dynamic to use this knowledge for the uplifting of fellow man and for the glory of God. Either one, religious or intellectual education, without the other, is dangerous and unsound. Religious development without intellectual development leads to fanaticism. Intellectual development without proper religious back- ground leads to all sorts of moral breakdowns, Many college gradu- ates are found in our penitentiaries because their moral development has been neglected. Leob and Leopold would not now be serving life sentences in Joliet prison had they been taught to use their education for the uplifting of their fellow man. Albert B. Fall is serving a term for defrauding the government —a highly educated man. Friends, time would not permit me to give all the examples of men and women Page Twenty-nine
