Dolores Van Otterloo, Hester Where are the words which one should use to des- cribe the experience we shared as Dordt's first class? Setting out upon a college career is in itself a great thrill. Then add to that the newness which was every where, the sociability of a small group, the privilege of establishing traditions, and the pride we felt as a first class. Our first steps inside the school told its newness. All the extemal things were new. The student lounge was comfortableg the classrooms were cheerfulg the office had a clerical lookg the library was conducive to study. The intangible things were new too. The Board had been functioning for some time, but the Faculty as an organization was new, and the students had no prededenrs to follow. We felt especially cautious as to where we planted our steps because out paths were new and untried. 7 Van Otterloo, Elizabeth Van Tol, Barbara Wassenaar, Louisa Kooiker, Mary Bouma, Gertrude Veldman, Joan Kemink, Joyce Kemink.

As a small class we were able to schedule many social events. Some of the highlights were a tobogan- ning party, a travelogue of a European tour taken by one of our students, and best of all, We produced a play, LENA RIVERS. concerts at various places. When you hear Defenders, when you see black and white you will know they belong to Dordt. The SIGNET belongs to Dordt. We have made them all to be lasting symbols of our school. We were proud to be the first evidence of our fathers' dreams and plans. It was a privilege of which we were often reminded and for which we were glad to be responsible. We hope that what we have con- tributed and what we have learned may show God's sovereignty in all spheres of human activity. --Elizabeth Van Tol a spring formal. We gave choir
