The School Board Another school year has come and gone. Another period of cares and perplexities, of blessings and joys. As Christian High Board we have again had a blessed year of splendid cooperation and mutual helpfulness. Our meetings were characterized by a splendid spirit of self-sacrifice and devo- tion to duty. Amidst all the joys and happiness of the Work We experienced a note of sadness which was injected because of the long-continued illness of our veteran financial agent, Mr. L. Groeneveld, which eventuated in his resigna- tion. May the Lord be gracious unto him and if it be His Will grant a speedy and complete recovery. As the work had to go on uninterruptedly, Mr. Henry Schuitema was appointed as full-time financial agent and Mr. Wm. Peterson as his assistant for part-time work. We unitedly thanked the Lord for complete restoration and return to the staff of our veteran teacher, Mr. Martin Seven, after an enforced absence of a year and a half. Mr. Rennie Dornbush, after an absence of about six Weeks due to illness, could also again resume his labors. lt is but fitting to pay tribute to the wonderfully efficient work of our prin- cipal, Mr. E. R. Post, and the remarkable support and cooperation he has con- stantly experienced on the part of the entire faculty and the student body as well. Our janitors are constantly on the job keeping things spick and span. Last, but not least, the Ladies' Circle deserves our heart-felt thanks for the splendid way in which they have again carried on. In season and out of season they are constantly on the job. They are a continual source of inspira- tion to us all. May all who are in any way connected with Christian High ever deem it not only a duty but a privilege as well to do all they can for our covenant youth in order that they may be true to the faith of our fathers.
