Of all the benefits which one receives from a high school education— a store of knowledge, a widening of one’s intellectual horizon, an appreciation of the finer things,—none can compare with these two, a thinking head and an industrious hand. Both are essential to a ha ppy, fruitful life, to a life of ser- vice, and who can measure the worth of these two? Yet these two—a thinking mind and an industrious hand—are not enough. There is one thing lacking, and I trust you instinctively feel that one thing is missing. How many thinking minds and industrious hands are there not, which are directed in wrong channels, and thus defeat the very purpose for which man was created, namely, to think God’s thoughts after Him and to do His will— in brief, to live to the glory of God? Misdirected, a thinking head and an industrious hand are not a great wealth, a blessing,—but a curse, and they will lead to disappointment, disillusionment, and despair; directed and guided in the right path they are a blessing, and will bring joy, contentment, and satisfaction. The head and hand must be guided therefore and that by a consecrated heart, a heart dedicated to God. The one thing needful in addition to a thinking head and an industrious hand is a consecrated heart, and unless you have that, your training has been a failure, and Eastern Academy has not lived up to its high calling as a Christian school. For our system of Christian schools from the elementary school to the college is dedicated to the task of training and developing the whole man—not merely the head and the hand, but the heart as well. It is the aim of our Christian institutions, in distinction from the public schools, to influence the heart in order that our covenant youth may heed the injunction, “My son, give me thine heart.” Therefore, we prefer to say “A thinking head and an industrious hand are a great wealth” provided they are governed and directed by a consecrated heart. May the future reveal that you possess all three, for then indeed you have a treasure which neither moth nor rust can corrupt, nor thieves break through and steal, and it is with this hope that we send you forth from these halls. John R. Bos eleven 1937 = EASTERN ACADEMY 1937 Associate Editors Page Tempus Fugit” It seems such a short time since we first entered the portals of E. A., that it is almost impossible to realize that we have spent four happy years within its walls. During these four years we have progressed steadily upward through the various phases of school life—as “green” Freshmen, as “silly” Sophomores, as “Jolly” Juniors and now we have passed the period of being “dignified” Seniors. We have gone through the stage of being a part of E. A. and now E. A. has be- come a part of us. As we survey these years in retrospect we may well wonder where the time has flown. ; Our feelings at this time are a strange mixture of joy and sadness, of satis- faction and uncertainty. It is ike a sudden transition from hght to utter dark- ness. Here, at our beloved E. A. we have a knowledge that all our movements are guided by capable hands, giving us a sense of security and confidence in the present. What the future will hold in store, we do not know. From the beginning, we have known that our departure was inevitable. Yet now that the actual time has arrived, it comes with a suddenness that is appall- ing; socials—exams—speeches—awards—diplomas—and our school life at E. A. is ended. We pray that our future will be as beautiful as the scene described by Joseph Conrad in his story “The Lagoon”. We know that our future will come to us Just as suddenly as the night came to Tuan. “The white man came out of the hut in time to see the enormous conflagration of sunset put out by the swift and stealthy shadows that rising hke a black and impalpable vapour above the tree-tops, spread over the heaven, extinguishing the crimson glow of floating clouds and the red brilliance of departing daylight. In a few moments all the stars came out above the intense blackness of the earth, and the great lagoon, gleaming suddenly with reflected lghts, resembled an oval patch of night sky flung down into the hopeless and abysmal night of the wilderness.” Our life at E. A. has been as beautiful as the day which preceded the sunset. We hope and pray that our future will be as beautiful as the night and that we shall also shine as stars in the sky. And so thoughtfully, regretfully, hopefully, expectantly, we say farewell to dear E. A.—our “Alma Mater”’. Klazina D. Kwiken Farewell Fare-thee-well our dear Academy We shall now thy banners unfurl, We shall honor and uphold thee In this vast and changing world. We, the class of 1937, are ready to go forth from the halls of Eastern Academy. Although we are eager to find our place in the world, we dishke the twelve 1937 — == ASTERN ACADEMY===—_19 37 thought of leaving; there is something which binds us to the school and makes it hard for us to part. During the past four years we have formed many friendships, some which shall continue throughout the future; we have associated with the students and teachers, worked with them, experienced together sad and happy times, diffi- culties and pleasures; in short, we have lived together as one large family, and now we must part. No more shall we walk the well loved halls of E. A., help to cheer our teams on to victory, or experience the club life and the good old socials. The days at E. A. may be compared to a large beautifully colored soap- bubble which graduation will break. It will disappear, and it will be very difficult for us to make another bubble which can compare with it. Some of us intend to make a bubble of more education and some of work, but Wherever we go or whatever we do, Dear old E. A., we’ll remember you. And now as we are parting, we wish to say, “Farewell.” Dear teachers, we wish to extend our thanks to you for aiding us in our moral, intellectual, and spiritual growth. We are sure that through your teachings we have learned to recognize and appreciate the better and finer things of life. Dear Juniors, Sophs., and Freshies, we are glad to have been able to associate with you and hope that you will fill the places which we have left vacant. Remember the clubs, Athletic Association, and Envoy Staff; work for them; they need your support; remember that we as Alumni will stand in back of you. And now, Adieu! Adieu, dear friends! Adieu! We can no longer stay with you, But we often hope to meet In that dear old school on North Eighth Street. Theresa Bushman Reminiscences of E. A. How well I remember when the Class of 1937 entered E. A. In 1933 a bashful group, forty strong, entered the halls of E. A. No one knew the other one, but, inside of a month, the class was organized. We had our class officers, and were we proud! The first year passed uneventfully. The months came and went. Finally June came with its final exams. After we completed these successfully (?), vacation came. Two months later the Class of 1987 came back as a group of more digni- fied Sophomores. Here and there were a few missing faces, but we were still the largest class in school. In February came our first “blow-out”. We had a party up in chapel! We had even taken the chapel away from the Juniors, who were to have had a party on that night. We could feel we were growing in class spirit. Again June came and vacation. Two months later we returned as Juniors. Six or seven of our number had graduated from two-year courses, and others had left to pursue other goals. In this year things began to happen. We had to have committees this year as we had never had before. For the Junior-Senior Banquet, of course. The class prophecy for the Class of 1986 was given and the last will and testament of the Seniors was read to us. We were bequeathed the last seats in chapel. We have made good use of them and pass the torch to the Class of 1988. Our last year of the four has come and has almost gone. We regret its passing but look into the future. Our ambitions are varied—some are to go into the business world, some are to go on to college, some are to turn to thirteen 1937 ——— EASTERN ACADEMY 1937 nursing, and still others are undecided. Here at E. A. the Class of 1937 has learned much (?), been benefitted by good associates, and has been prepared for the future. We regret the necessity of leaving old E. A., but we can not help it—we studied too much. We are grateful to our teachers for all they have done for us. We have made their tasks hard at times, but they have borne it all and helped us in the bargain. Again we say, “Thanks a million” Lubbertus Bos Academy Ylowsettes The annual program of the Eastern Academy Clubs took place at the Prospect Park Public School Auditorium on Wednesday, May 5. The program included two plays by the Forum Club and several selections by the Glee Club. The day after the wreck of the Hindenburg Adrian Bakker, a member of the Senior class, gave us an interesting account of seeing the Hindenburg as an eye witness. He also brought several fragments of the zeppelin. Dr. Berkhout paid us a visit last month and continued his talk of last year on “Hmergency Treatment.” Friday, May 28, was one of the most enjoyable days of the school term for the teachers as well as the students. In the morning it was our good for- tune to have with us Mr. and Mrs. Ramiah, the friends of Mr. and Mrs. Kruithof. Mr. Ramiah is an Indian (from India, not America) and has the misfortune of being blind. E. A. has never been honored with a more delightful speaker; the student body was truly impressed by this man from India’s highest class who has been converted to Christianity and now assists his wife in her missionary labors. In the afternoon of this same day our third annual Amateur Hour Program took place. We had no classes at all in the afternoon for the program took up all of our time. The program included recitations, dialogues, plays and bands. There was also a spelling bee conducted by Mr. Vanden Bosch which was won by Dick Van Halsema. The winners of the main program were Billy Pruiksma for a recitation, “Jest “Fore Christmas”, members of the Sophomore class, and “Uncle Bos’s Hill-Bilhes.” At the time of this writing the Juniors and Seniors are looking forward to the annual Junior-Senior Banquet which will be held on June 11 in our “ovm’?, Among interesting fe: te of this banquet are the “Class Will” given by the departing Seniors and the “Class Prophecy” given by the Juniors, the hosts at this banquet. A great event in the lives of some twenty-nine of thirty Seniors will take place on June 24 in the First Holland Reformed Church of Passaic. Have you guessed what this event will be? Yes, to be sure, graduation. This evening will mark for the Seniors the end of high school life and the beginning of work for some and continued schooling for others. é- 4. Campaign The enormous amount of work performed for this Campaign by the Cap- tains and Workers, and the financial support given by the advocates of Christian Secondary Education, is, to say the least, appreciated very much. By feeling fourteen 1937; SS PAS TERNEACADEMY === 119 37 our unity in this cause, and each one contributing of his time, energies, interests and material blessings, we as Calvinists can accomplish much with our Christian School System. “For God and unto God” we have dedicated our schools, let us go forward to His praise. Although there was $517.50 more raised in this campaign than the year before, we still were short about $2,000. This deficiency the Board of Directors is making efforts to cover. The preliminaries for the Campaign for 1937-38 to be held next fall, October 18 to 29, are well under way. Special attention has been given to the necessity of advertising our Eastern Academy and bringing its needs and activities before the attention of our people. On October 10 we hope to distribute about 2,000 copies of a special Campaign Issue of the Envoy to our Christian Reformed people. The entire Eastern Academy student ‘body is eagerly looking forward to the rendering of a cantata on October 13; this chorus will comprise about 150 voices. Friday, October 15, a parent-teacher meeting will be held. The faculty hopes that all parents will avail themselves of the opportunities afforded at such.a meeting. The athletic association of the school is also expecting to participate in the activities by sponsoring special athletic events. God’s blessing upon our institution is indispensable, and this is recognized by its faculty, students, board of directors, and supporters. Because of this deep rooted conviction, the various consistories and pastors will be asked to devote a special service to this phase of kingdom work. Ceaseless prayer for the cause of Christian education, and constant reminders of our duties as follow- ers of the Christ also in the sphere of education, with God’s divine blessing, will make our Eastern Academy an ever greater blessing to our boys and girls, our community, state, nation, and God’s church. Let us always take a keen interest in those things that are really worth while, and express our interest by giving liberally. God blesses us for it. H.

Ours has been a busy school this past term and many changes have taken place. Our staff for next year will be somewhat different. Helen Ruiter will again be in Room One, Martha Voorman will be in Room Two, Jessica Mierop will continue in Room Three, Jeannette Tanis will take the place of Wilma Te Slaa in Room Four, and Walter D. De Kock will again be in Room Five. The training of our teachérs for next year ranges between three and five years—a record we feel quite proud of considering the size of the school. All but one of our teachers have attended our own Normal School at Calvin for at least one year. All the teachers have not completed their plans for the summer but Miss Mierop is planning on leaving for New Mexico June 21 and hopes to ;visit there for the summer. Miss Te Slaa is again teaching for six weeks at West Sayville and may also spend some of her vacation visiting with relatives in the West. Mr. De Kock and family hope to leave the morning after the Commencement Program for a two or three weeks vacation with relatives and friends in Michigan after which he hopes to complete his first year of Graduate study at Columbia University. This year we are having a double graduation as there are fifteen graduating from grade nine as well as fifteen from grade eight. We hope that all or at least most of the ninth grade graduates will continue their high school work at Eastern Academy in September. They have worked hard and, in most cases, well during the past year and we certainly would like them to continue in this same spirit in the future. They need your encouragement teachers and upper classmen. Our school ground has undergone a major change in that we have had a large steam shovel excavate and level it. We feel quite well satisfied with the change and hope to continue the improvements. I would like to tell you about our newly-organized baseball team but am a little timid just now, your players will tell you why, but you will hear more of them later. Why couldn’t each of our schools have a team and then play each other occasionally? We are having our Twenty-Fifth Annual School Day at Lindbergh Park in North Haledon on July 5. Every effort is being made to make this picnic bigger and better than ever before—we’re even having, ponies there for the “kiddies” to ride on—and we hope that the Patersonians, ete. will give us the same cooperation we always give them at Idlewild on Labor Day. An inter- esting day of entertainment has been planned. All friends who are interested are cordially invited to enjoy themselves with us. W. De Kock It NORTH FOURTH STREET CHRISTIAN SCHOOL The school year is drawing to its close and its many activities will belong to the past. In January several grades visited the Industrial Exhibition in the Y. M. C. A. In order to encourage Mr. A. Vandewende with his projeet and to stimulate the interest we sent different classes to see his miniature village. A composi- tion writing project was started and prizes were earned by some pupils of dif- ferent grades. sixteen I937- === EAS TERN: AGADEMY=—=——_19.37 At the end of January we had our graduation exercises and we are busy now getting ready for the June closing and graduating program. In April we rendered an interesting program in School No. 12. The proceeds of this program will be used to good advantage. Several of our teachers, the principal included, took extension work in Montclair State Teachers’ College. The Graduating Class of January hired a bus and visited places of interest in New York. The June Class wants to do better and is making plans to visit places of historic interest in Philadelphia. I wonder whether the boys and girls are aware of the fact that all things cost money and whether father and mother are always able to foot the bills. Pins, rings, dresses, suits, presents, flowers, etc., etc. cost money, and money does not grow on trees. I wish some one would introduce a more simple procedure of graduation. Of course, the merchants would dislike such a plan, but many parents would, perhaps (?), welcome a change. In some states of our union no graduation exercises are held when pupils finish the eighth grade. Several shorter programs were given during the schoolyear. We had our Thanksgiving Program, Christmas Program, Washington’s and Lincoln’s Birth- day Programs, Rally Day’s Program, etc., etc. In the fall of the year we intend to have an art and hobby exhibit. Our exhibit of drawings in the Prospect Park Bank and North Main St. Bank was admired by many spectators. Our Board has been active and busy also. The Spring Drive is just about completed and plans are made for our Labor Day Program. If nothing interferes with our plans, a field day will be held before the end of June, and the Ladies’ Cirele of our school is going to hold a “Silver Tea” and Sale in the near future. More important than all these activities is the fact that all our children were instructed daily in the way they should go. We have tried to permeate our instruction with the eternal truths of God’s Word. We have shown our children that we are pilgrims, looking for a better country, but we have also tried to show them that we must be faithful citizens of our country while we live and show our influence as Christians in every sphere of life. We have sown the seeds but God has to give the increase. Let us work faithfully unto the end in the fear of our Lord, obeying his command to instruct the covenant youth according to his will. Of course, we fail miserably oft times, but at least we try. May the Lord bless the cause of Christian Education. Gerhardus Bos Tt PINE STREET CHRISTIAN SCHOOL The enrollment of the Pine Street School was somewhat better than last year. There was an increase of eight pupils. We hope and pray that our enrollment may continue to increase and that all Christian parents may realize what their covenant obligations are as well as their privileges. If said parents would only read prayerfully the promises which they have made before God and His congregation at the baptismal font there would be no doubt whatsoever, where their children should attend school. We had a very successful year in every respect. Not much sickness, the average attendance being over 95%. Our eighth grade contains 18 pupils which hope to graduate this month. The graduation exercises will be held June 23 in the Summer Street Christian Reformed Church. The main speaker for the seventeen 1937 = EASTERN ACADEMY=——= 1937 evening will be Professor R. B. Kuiper of Philadelphia. Several of the above pupils have signified their intention of enrolling in the Eastern Academy this fall. Why not all? Parents, do not break the chain unnecessarily to the detri- ment of your child. ‘Do not these links belong together, viz.: Christian home, Christian church, Christian school, and Eastern Academy? Remember the High school age is a very dangerous age. We must be doubly on our guard, and behold what a blessing of God that we have Christian institutions built for the express purpose of aiding you in the training of the children whom the Lord entrusted to your care. In the day of judgment can you meet ‘your Saviour with a clear conscience? Have you done all you could? G. Bos IU RIVERSIDE SCHOOL NEWS A few more weeks of testing and program drilling and another school year will be ended. The question has been asked how many more years will we be fable to continue our school. During the last seven years the enrollment has decreased from 104 to 82 children. A few years ago it has been as low as 76 children. It’s the old story, not all that could send their children. Sometimes I fear that mere tradition instead of principle is carrying us along. ‘Whither Bound” might indeed be prayerfully considered. A few weeks ago it did indeed look like a small school when many pupils were quarantined on account of mumps and scarlet fever. Most of them are again back in the ranks. One of our pupils, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. Van Dyke has been confined to her bed since last September. Her trouble is, epi- thesis of the hips which is being corrected by weights. It’s a very long process. At my weekly visits I receive an inspiration. Her gallant, patient spirit is a marvelous thing to behold. About two weeks ago a fifth and eight grade pupil met with an accident while riding a bicycle together. One of them received minor bruises while the other is still confined to the hospital with a splintered arm. A warning not to ride tandem on a single seated bicycle. Some time ago I was invited to visit the new school on East 18th Street. What a building and what equipment! A gym. second to none. On one of the floors three successive small rooms were fully equipped representing a kitchen, dining room and bedroom. Obviously these rooms are used to teach domestic science. Each room was equipped with a loud speaker. What a poor outfit we have compared with such a school. Fortunately there can be teaching with a teacher on one end of the log and the pupil on the other. Did this visit dis- courage me? Not at all. In fact it gave me added courage. To think that our parents are willing to sacrifice these luxuries for their children in order that they may obtain a training which under the guidance of the Holy Spirit might make their souls beautiful and most glorious, is to see faith in action. May this faith of ours be strengthened so that we will gladly continue this important phase of Kingdom work until the end of time. During the last seven years less than 50% of our graduates go to Eastern Academy. That’s a pity. Let’s be sincere about this business. Let our faith be tested, put it squarely (reverently speaking) up to our Heavenly Father and tell Him about our financial difficulties if that be the reason. If that be not the reason, then ... then, make your own conclusions. R. Hommes. eighteen 1937———EASTERN ACADEMY==== 1937 Alumne Notes Four of our Alumni are working in New York City. John De Leeuw is working in the National Trust Bank, and George De Boer is employed by the Cress Co. Wilham Huizing is working in the Chase National Bank and William Bush for the Firestone Rubber Co. 1 Sadie Bangma has entered the Passaic General Hospital. I After many weeks of hard work the Alumni Music Club presented the Operetta “Pirates of Penzance.” The program was a great success. 7 In the Special Issue of the Envoy (October, 1936) we reported on a num- ber of our 1936 graduates. Regarding the rest of our 1936 Alumni: What a line up: Karl De Waal Malefyt, Jewel Belanus, Philip (Flip) Band- stra and Jacob Vander Meulen are all employed by their fathers. I guess it’s much easier to work for your father. 7 Petronella Haagsma is employed as assistant bookkeeper by the Lont Overkamp Pub. Co., of Paterson, N. J. 7 Henrietta Soodsma has entered St. Joseph’s Hospital and enjoys it very much. Her pal, Cornelia Vanden Bosch, is at present staying home. 7 John Veenstra works in the Little Falls Laundry. I Jeanette Sikkema was quite fortunate in securing work and has joined Jeanette Greydanus in the Radburn Bank. I Rena Damsma is at present doing domestic work and Andrew Jeltes is working for his uncle. 1 James Greydanus works for the D. 8. Silk Co. in Clifton, and Margaret Huizer is occupied in a packing factory. Don’t be discouraged, Margaret! There’s plenty time ahead for improvement. 7 Ruth Verblaauw is employed by the Aetna Insurance Co. of New York City. Time to sign off now, With Love, Seribe ’38 Athletics Since this is the only issue of the “Envoy” that has appeared this semester I will give you a brief resumé of the 1937 baseball team. Our team had a good season this year winning 6 and losing 2. First I will give you the list of regulars: L.F.—N. Bruining Ss.—R. Veenema C.F.—P. De Vries C.—C. La Fleur 1b —W. Eelman P.—Bush, Meima and De Vries 2b.—C. Buis R.F.—B. Steen 3b.— J. Zuidema nineteen 1937 ——— EASTERN ACADEMY=———= 1937 On April 28 E. A. traveled to Pennington Park to play St. Joe’s. This game was Academy’s first win and proved to be St. Joe’s third setback. Our whole team played fine ball throughout the game. Besides limiting them to only three hits and fanning eleven, Doug Bush also hit out two singles and batted home three runs. The only time our team was in trouble was in the fourth when two of St. Joe’s men hit safely and a pair of errors permitted two runs to come across. The final score was 4—3 in favor of E. A. On May 3 E. A. dropped a heartbreaker to St. Mary’s at Totowa Oval, the score being 12—5. We had three different pitchers in the box, namely, Doug Bush, Bob Meima and Pete De Vries. Between the three of them they managed to hold St. Mary’s pretty well. In this game our second baseman, Neil Buis, hit a three base hit. In spite of the score our team was determined to give them a better game in the near future. On May 7 E. A. captured its second victory of the season when it scored a 2—0O shutout triumph over St. Luke’s at Haledon Recreation Field. Doug Bush and Johnny Krupinski hooked up in a pitching duel, but Doug came out the winning pitcher. He allowed only three safeties and fanned ten men. In ‘the second inning Zuidema’s single produced both runs, Steen and Eelman com- ing across after getting on previously with hits. Our veteran mound ace also starred at the plate with a double and single to his credit in three trips. In fact our whole team hit well in this game. On May 13 E. A. traveled to Montclair to play Montclair High. Our boys got off to an early lead and maintained it throughout the entire game. Eelman’s timely hitting, three out of three times at bat, was one of the biggest factors in winning the game. He also batted two runs across. Our pitcher, Doug. Bush, was not up to his usual form, however, he struck out five men. He had good backing by the entire team. E. A. chalked up a well earned victory by a score of 38—2. On May 21 E. A. met St. Joe’s again at the Haledon Recreation Field. It was a nip and tuck game. The batters of both teams made well placed hits and at the right time. The score was 4—4 until the last inning when an error by one of our men caused the winning run to come across for the benefit of St. Joe’s. Our pitcher, Doug Bush, again pitched the entire game striking out five men. Eh. A. played a fine brand of ball throughout the entire game and gave the pitcher good support. The game ended with the heartbreaking score of 5—4 with E. A. on the wrong end. On May 25 E. A. again broke back into their winning streak by defeating St. Luke’s 6—4 at Allendale. Throughout the game our team had well placed hits. Although the umpire was against our team very frequently, this did not daunt our players. Instead of giving up they went into the game and showed their sportsmanship. In this game our other pitcher, namely, Bob Meima, pitched the entire game. He came through very well and struck out 6 men. Both our infield and out- field showed some very good playing and managed to take care of the few scattered hits. On June 4 E. A. played Montclair at the Pennington Park Field. Again in this game Meima pitched the entire game. Meima allowed only five hits and struck out eight men. Besides having a good day in the pitcher’s box, Meima also did well at bat and batted in a run. In the third inning E. A. really went to town. We scored all our five runs in this inning. Steen led the batting attack with two singles. This game was EK. A.’s second shutout game of the season. The final score was 5—O in favor of E. A. twenty ho eee EAS TERNGAGADEMY === L937: The 1936-’37 season was very successful for the Girls’ Basketball team. The finest thing of all the fine things about this team, I believe, was their spirit of loyalty and cooperation. If there is anything that helps a great deal, it is this loyalty and cooperation that represents the Blue and Gold. Our high scorers were Emma Kuiken and Jeanette Sisco. Our scores at each game were as follows: Eastern Academy Opponents Visiting Teams JA 29 St. Bons 20 39 E. A. Alumnae 35 18 Church of Messiah 18 12 St. Luke 49 26 Church of Messiah 17 23 E. A.

Muriel: Yes. Ralph: Well, that’s just the sun trying to get up on schedule with my watch. 1 Mr .Buis (who served in the “Big Scrap”): And that, my son, is the story of my experiences in the World War. Neal Buis:.
