Class History In the fall of 1948, twenty-eight young braves and squaws joined together to form our tribe. Ahead of us loomed a long jour- ney into the Land of Knowledge. As we were unacquainted with the trail and the many difficulties which might arise during the course of our journey, we asked Mr. Moolenaar to be our guide. We elected Joyce Hamstra as our chief leader and chose Harold Jabaay and Janet Hammerton to aid her. In order to identify ourselves from the numerous other tribes who were seek- ing knowledge in this vast land, we chose as our outstanding colors red and gray, and carried our favorite flower, white roses. When we had traveled only a short distance along the narrow path we were attacked by a forceful and experienced tribe of Indians. We survived this attack very well and therefore we were officially accepted and invited to partake of the opportunities of the land. By winning this battle we lived up to our motto Knowledge is Power.” We continued on our way with a better understanding of the adventures which lay ahead of us and although our energy was tapped at times we agree that the first lap of cur journey was enjoyed by all. The fall of ’49 found us again making our way along the trail. For this lap of our journey we chose Mr. Poucher to be our guide. Carol Hart was elected to be our chief leader, and assisting her as petty chiefs were Robert Hunter and Janet Hammer- ton. Although John Hartley, Pat Hanson, and Gwendolyn Garrett had left our tribe in quest of new lands, our force was in- creased with the addition of three squaws, Joan Scott, Mary Ann Holz, and Bertha Fultz. During this part of our journey we found the path to be rocky and steep in places, bur that is forgotten when we re- member the good times we had, such as our bowling party in December. As we journeyed through the land of ’50 with Mr. Poucher again as our guide, Janet Hammerton as chief leader and Paul Kaluf, Joyce Hamstra, and Carol Thornton as helpers, we met many new experiences. One of our braves, George Coberly, left our tribe. Two squaws, Carol Thornton and Doris Knight, joined to make a total of 27. Our guide, Mr. Poucher, wishing to go to another district of the land, left our tribe. In his place we chose Mr. Leffler. After traveling along for several months, we de- cided to stop in a town and entertain the people. After careful preparation we pre- sented the play Half Past Teen,” which was a great success. We started down the trail again and soon came upon another tribe of Indians who were completing their last year in the Land of Knowledge. We prepared a great banquet in their honor, which closed the third lap of our journey. The fall of ’51 found eagerness and ex- pectation in the minds of the members of our tribe. We had finally reached the last lap of our journey. For this important part of our journey we chose Mr. Hission to guide us over the plains and around the patches of uncleared primeval forest. Har- old Jabaay was elected as chief, with Paul Kaluf, Carol Hart, and Estill Duggins to aid him. Doris Knight, Kay Woudema, and Ernest Swart left our tribe, leaving a total of 22 braves and squaws. Feeling the urge to entertain again, we traveled to the same town and gave the play In Cherry Time,” which was greatly enjoyed. After this the months passed swiftly by, and now we are within a short distance of the end of our journey. As we, the Senior tribe, stand before our graduation, we find ourselves looking back over the happy years we have spent in the Land of Knowledge. Our graduation, while it is a door that opens to us greater opportunities near and far from our present camping grounds, it is also at the same time a door that closes to us the thrills and joys of learning together in the land. We know that the storehouse of memories from this journey will remain with us through the years to come. By Rutii Terborg
