Class History ln February, 1933, a group of innocent, bashful Freshies came to Chris- tian High to be enrolled as students. After a few days of wanderings these children became better acquainted and were given an enthusiastic Wel- come by the student body in the session room. ln September a group of equally green Freshmen arrived. These, with those who arrived in February, joined to form the Class of '36, Our class was given its official welcome at an outing at the Garfield Park, at which both faculty and student body were present. Later in the month we organized to form the Sophomore Class. At this first class meeting we were introduced to our sponsor, Mr. B. Fridsma. William Huizingh, who graduated with the Class of '35, was chosen to be our first president. Our meetings throughout the year were very successful, since we managed to have an entertaining program every time we met. It was during this year that the Student Participation Council was organized. We are glad that we had a part in its formation. We have been represented at its meetings regularly by some of our able classmates. ln the fall of 1934, we gathered in the session room and elected Don Bouma to be our president during our Iunior year. He was our former Vice- Secretary-Treasurer and proved to be a very successful leader. Our monthly meetings this second year included much more business than those of the former year. We had short programs, but much of the time was devoted to preparations for the lunior-Senior Party. This was given as a farewell to the departing seniors on May 24, 1935, at the Central Reformed Church. It was the great and memorable feature of our Iunior year. Following this, of course, were the exams and then the much-needed summer vacation. The following September, we entered upon our last year at Christian High as dignified Seniors. We could hardly believe that we were Seniors, but soon almost unconsciously, we had assumed the responsibilities of the highest class in school. Don Bouma was re-elected president and the regular business was attended to in orderly fashion. The Memoir Staff was elected and began working at once. lt was at this time, too, that we took occasion to remember the marriage of our sponsor. The Senior class program was also a great event of this year. Toward the end of the semester We were bid fare- well by the Iunior Class at a very pleasant party. Although it was the busiest, we believe that this last year at Christian High was also the most enjoyable of the three. And now our work here is completed. We look forward with fond hopes and ambitions to the future, but we will always remember our Christian train- ing. May it be a foundation for true happiness in all our lives. We will ever hold in mind the days and companions at Christian High. We, the Class of '36, Wish to express our appreciation to all those who have been responsible for making our education a happy and successful one. We, especially, thank Mr. Fridsma for his patience with us, also the faculty and fellow-students. May God bless everyone! I IEAN GOULOOZE L 22 1
