A few more days and another large group of graduates will go forth from our halls into the world. Some of the students will go on to college, others will try to find their places in our much disturbed industrial order. To all our graduates we say: God-speed. lt is our hope and prayer that you may remember the lessons which you have been taught and that you may shape your lives so that others may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in Heaven. We, the Board, the teachers, and the parents shall feel ourselves amply repaid if you become good citizens, first of all of the kingdom of Heaven and second, of our beloved country. We trust also that you will always be loyal supporters of the school which has done so much for you. Remember what sacrifices your parents had to make to send you to a Christian Institution. Do not forget at what a price your teachers tried to lead you through the most critical period of life. Be loyal to the school. Remember the words of Paul, You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men. A tree is judged by its fruit, a high school is judged by its graduates. lf you walk in God's way you are our best means of selling the institution to the public. lf you depart from Gods way, you are our greatest handicap. As a board, we had a successful year. We could labor uninterruptedly and there was the best of harmony between the board and the staff. We have high praise for the teachers who labored faithfully under financial handicap. We were able to reduce our indebtedness but we are sorry that we must add that we could not pay the teachers more than 6574, of their salaries. This must be changed and can be changed if we all work together. Parents, follow the example of the ladies who work in season and out of season. Attend the gen- eral meetings. Receive the financial agent gladly and do what you can. We can reach the goal if we all stand shoulder to shoulder. The cause is worth it. We cannot give our children anything better than a Christian education. . . . REV. HERMAN BEL. l9l 'xx' The Faculty TOP HOW Mr. I. I.

E221 Class History 0 ' In February, 1934, a group of green recruits were sent up to Christian High from the camps of the elementary schools throughout the city - yes, and from outside. After our formal fthe historian's pen had a tendency to write informal J welcome into the student body we placed our shoulders to the wheel to begin our high school careers. ln September, an additional corps joined the force to make up the Class of '37. At our first class meeting under the capable supervision of Mr. De Vroome, whose guidance has proved an invaluable asset to our class, Chuck Bult was chosen as our president. Then, after electing our representatives to the Student Council, we fell into step as the Sophomores of Christian High. In the fall of l935 we were graduated to the rank of Iuniors. Our choice for president for our Iunior year was Al Ten Brink. Good cheer and good programs was the rule for our class meetings. Then we settled down to the preparations for the Iunior-Senior Event. This is the important event of our school's social activities. In all those nautical surroundings, did we hear someone say he was seasick? Or was he all wet ? This was held at Central Reformed Church on May 22, 1936. With the memories of the party still fresh in our minds came exams - then vacation. Once more within the familiar walls of our Alma Mater we turned again to the task of organizing our class for our Senior, and final year. Again we cast our votes for the president, and the victorious candidate was Winifred Mole- malcer, who proved herself no less capable than her predecessors. Important legislation, such as concerns a Senior class in high school, was discharged in all due solemnity. Money-making projects to raise funds for our memorial were run off in order. First came the Rummage Sale and with it a handsome profit. Nefct came the inevitable Christmas Cards and we did very well at that, in fact, we could have used more. This was followed by the skating party - a howling success despite rather stiff competition with programs booked for the same night. Then we played our ace - on April 30. The Senior class pre- sented their play at South I-Iigh and with unquestionable success. Now we look forward to Commencement, always a memorable event. But l'm not writing a prophecy. A word about our sponsor, we trust, will not be out of place. Always human, he would rather plead the cause of the student than to assert his undeniable authority with the curt finality which is so characteristic of him. We pay tribute then, to General De Vroome, tireless leader of that invincible body - the Class of '37. A great class-a great man. . . ALBERT TEN BRINK I23l Commencement Address ' As president of the Class of '37, I esteem it a privilege to address my classmates and as their representative to say a few words to the other groups present here tonight. Classmates: We who stand at the meeting between a happy past and a beckoning future, who stand where the brook and river meet, have reached tonight, not the end, but the Commencement of a more real and complete life. Perhaps you, as well as l, have built air castles. The building of castles in the air is not quite the visionary and unproductive business as we have sometimes been led to regard it. I am reminded of the words of Henry Thoreau: lf you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost, that is Where they should be, now put foundations under them. The finest products and the greatest structures originate in the World of the ideal and find their way down from that lofty realm into the realm of fact. The architect builds an edifice first in his imagination and then places a foundation under it. The inven- tion is first a castle in the air. The inventor first visualizes it in his mind and then proceeds to give it concrete existance. Great music was heard in the silence by the spiritual ear of the composer before its strains were ever borne on the waves ofthe air. Great paint- ings existed in the mind of the artist before they ever shone upon the canvas. One important part of our education these last three years has been to learn to recognize and to hold on to the ideals that are pure. We have been enabled to some degree to build castles in the air of which the glory of God shall be the light. We, who have been taught to use the Bible as a book of conduct and of life, may sit at the feet of the divine and per- fect Teacher. We can sweeten, purify and clarify our vision by that word which giveth light and which giveth to the simple understanding. It is well that we build castles in the air, but let us build them after a heavenly pattern. We remember that the author of Revelation saw the holy city, new Ierusalem, coming down from God out of heaven. Our castle in the air, we trust, is one of those fair palaces of that golden city. We must be diligent and faithful, therefore, to place beneath it a foundation firm and sure. As we take leave of Christian High, we turn to the school board. You have been back of Christian High, guarding her material interests through trying seasons. For three years we have plucked the fruits of your labors and forethough, and as we leave Christian High, we are mindful of that. We do not forget the Ladies' Circle which has constantly been busy behind the stage of high school 'life. We turn to our teachers and to our principal to express the deep sense of obligation which rests upon us. We have spent three years of our lives under your care, and now that we are to sit no longer at your feet, we begin more justly to appreciate the worth of that daily intercourse. To you had been given the task of impressing upon our minds those truths which shall be influential in developing the most worthy of each nature. We have come to realize the importance of your profession. In distinction from other occupations which often grow out of date, yours is one of ever-increasing importance. As teacher in a Christian School, you expound abiding values, endeavor to build character, to rear a temple! We thank you for all that you have embodied in your teaching and for your genuine sympathy with all our student interests. The class is particularly grateful to its sponsor, Mr. De Vroorne. You have been patient and energetic in guiding our class activities. Our principal, Mr. Post, we will remember with honor and regard. We have felt the im- pulse of your keen insight and have delighted in your ready wit. Finally, we address our parents. You have given up that we might have, and we know that if it were not for your efforts we would not be here tonight. We cannot repay you for what you have done for us. However, we realize that the future flings us a chal- lenge to show ourselves worthy of it. And now classmates the time has come for us to part. To some of us as we look back over the varied experiences of high school life, its pleasures and trials, its friendships, rivalries, and its ambitions, this moment may bear a tinge of sadness. Yet, we know that this very past will help to dispell all gloom and suffuse with a golden glow the morning sky of the future. In the real sense of the word, we will never be separated. We will always be banded together in the ties of kindred thought, purpose and spirit that are the only real union. We need not bid one another goodbye, but simply a cheery Good- night for we are sure that there will be an ever present opportunity for each of us in some brighter clime to bid one another Good Morning.

About twenty-live desirous ot a place on the team began the season. This crowd was soon limited to two teams, Although we won no lirst place honors this season, the members ol our teams displayed great debating qualities. This especially was evident in the City Tournament at Central High School in which Christian was bested for top honors by a tractional margin. Herman Broene delivered his speeches in the manner of a master, Al TenBrink loosed all his powers ot elocution, and Winifred lvlolemaker delivered her messages in a manner that few can even hope to rival. We suffered a great blow when those masters ot debating were lost to the team by midfseason graduation. Quickly a new team was iormed using Herman Broene, Robert Reitsema and lay Buttinga. This team entered the State Elimination series. Here it took second place in the iirst debate principally because the only other contestant f Kalamazoo Centrals debaters delivered their speeches with a great deal of lite, while our boys lacked in the power oi presentation. This debate showed Herman Broene to be a debater ot the championship caliber. With him as the nucleus ot next years team Christian should go a long way. I.

BASKETBALL - VARSITY ' The Christian varsity of l936fl937 established the best record ot any Chris- tian team in the history ot the school. The Eagles played l6 games winning l3 and losing 3, tor a percentage of .8l3. Christian scored 3l5 fwhile their opponents scored l88. For the first time in 9 years the team won the District Tournament in Class B and were runner-up in the Regional. Much praise should be given to the Coach Mr. Beukema and to Mr, Dornf bush who served another year as Athletic Director, Chuck Bolt and Tom Thomasma served as Captains for the lst and 2nd semesters, respectively. Bernard Velzen faithfully served as Student Manager. C. B. i521 Season in Review Grandville-Christian opened'the season with a decisive victory over the strong Grand- ville quintet. The Eagles displayed a fine brand of basketball for the opening game. They held a comfortable lead throughout the entire game. The score at the end of the game was 24-13. It was the first victory over the Suburbanites in two years. Belding -- Coach Beukema, anticipating an easy game, started a substitute lineup. The subs managed to gain an 8 to 6 lead at the half, At this point the varsity was in- serted, who quickly bagged deuce after deuce while they held their opponents to three free throws. The game ended with Christian holding the heavy end of the score, 29-9. East - Christian continued its winning streak by disposing of East Grand Rapids in a very interesting game. Christian held a 10 point lead at the half, but in the second half East twice threatened to overtake the Eagles. Before the game's close Christian bagged a pair of deuces to win, 24-19. HOLLAND CHRISTIAN - Before a capacity crowd of 1,500 jamming the Holland Ar- mory, Grand Rapids Christian was handed its first setback of the season, 24-12. The locals did not play their usual steady game, while the lads from Holland repeat- edly hung up scores. At the half Holland led 9-5, and started off the last half by racking up three quick field goals, while we were held to a single free toss. ln the last quarter, however, the locals managed to get a brace of field goals and a few charity tosses. Lee - Coach Beukema again started a sub- stitute lineup but was soon forced to insert the regulars as Lee was scoring freely. The varsity managed to tie up the score before the half ended. The last half was nip and tuck until the final moments of the game when Christian won out by its accuracy at the charity line. Score, 14-12. Catholic Central - For the first time in the history of the school Christian competed in basketball with a class A school. Christian had some difficulty in getting started in the first half, but in the last half they put on the best display of basketball ever pro- duced by Christian teams. The game was close all the way until the final minutes when the Christian lads took over a size- able lead. The final score was 17-10. Lowell - Christian, rather over confident over its previous victory, encountered some diffi- culty with Lowell who had a l point margin at the end of the first quarter. However, in the second half the boys began to find the hoop and easily won the game, 32-19. Belding - Christian again experienced some difficulty in getting started. The result was that Belding held a 1 point advantage at the half. Two regulars who had not played in the first half now were sent into the fray. The lead quickly changed hands as Chris- tian scored at will in the last quarter. The final score showed Christian on top, 34-14. Lee - Christian experienced little difficulty with the Lee aggregation who was handi- capped because of injuries received in a previous game. The Eagles led throughout the entire game. The score at the half was 22-ll. Lee played better ball the last half but were not able to overcome the large lead. The final score was 32-19. This game marked the last appearance of Bult and Schaafsma who were lost due to the eight semester rule. 53 Holland Christian-The determined Christian Eagles fell short of stopping the lads from the Tulip City. The first half was marked by loose ball handling and poor foul shooting on the part of both teams. The score at the end of the half was 11-6 in favor of Holland. In the last half Holland put on a spurt which was followed by a barrage of field goals in the last quarter by the locals. The final score was 22-18 with Holland holding the heavy end. Comstock - Our boys came back after their second defeat of the season to swamp Com- stock Park. The Eagles made baskets at will while they held their opponents to one field goal. The game was very one-sided and uninteresting. The final score was 22-6 in favor of Christian. Godwin - Christian added another game to their list of victories as they trounced the inexperienced Godwin team. The score was 26 to l in favor of Christian at the half. Coach Beukema put his subs in the last half who also scored freely. The score at the end of the game showed Christian out ahead, 44-6. Alumni - For the first time in 3 years the strong Christian quintet was able to turn back the Alumni team. Both teams were slow in getting started, but in the last half Christian rolled up ten points while they held the old grads to four points. The game ended with our boys out ahead, 16-10. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Godwin -- Christian drew the weak Godwin team as their opponent in the Class B Dis- trict Tournament. The Eagles experienced no difficulty with the Godwin quintet as they held a large lead at the end of the first half. The subs finished the last half. They also turned in a good performance. We finally won out, 28-15. The Christian team was presented a trophy as a result of its victory over the Godwin team. It was the first District Tournament won by a Chris- tian team since 1928. REGIONAL TOURNAMENT Bllegan - In the first game of the Regional Tournament Christian met a strong, well balanced aggregation from Allegan. They exhibited a fast break type of ball while Christian played its usual steady game - both offensively and defensively. It was a very close game until the last quarter when the Allegan team showed signs of tiring. At this point Christian forged ahead to win out, 28-23. Grand Haven - As in previous years Chris- tian again was slated to meet Grand Haven in the finals of the Regional Tournament. The game was hotly contested throughout all four quarters. The score was 8-7 in our favor at the end of the half. In the third quarter, Grand Haven came back with a barrage of long toms. The score at the end of the third quarter was 13-10. In the final quarter the locals began to creep up on the Grand Haven lads. With ten seconds left to play, Christian managed to tie up the game with a quick under basket shot. The score stood 16-16 as the two teams went into the over-time period. Neither team was able to score until the final moments when a Grand Haven player cashed in on two free throws to win the game, 18-16. , . . . TOM THOMASMA. . . CHUCK BULT.

They meet on the first and the third Tuesday of every school month. Under the vigorous and truly unusual leadership of its splendid president, Mrs. H. I. Mulder, the Circle has for a long time been in a very flourishing condition. Plans are devised and carried out to help bear the financial burden of maintaining the school. The plan used this year was that the group be divided into four teams, each having charge of activities for a certain number of weeks. The plan has worked very successfully, both as regards raising funds, about twice the amount of last year, and having good entertainment. Our membership has increased this year. Many have joined as active members and more than sixty associate members have recently been added to our list. So each does a little part, and we are grateful that the total of our efforts may be found worthy in the work of God's kingdom. H. M. Z. l59l LITERHIW Air Castles ' What merciless things to think about your husband, Karen Kirby told her- self. After all, Scott was doing it all just for her. She tried to recall when it all began - oh yes - the night Scott told her that when he was a boy, he believed he never would be happy unless he would go up in a balloon some day. Seems ridiculous to me now, he had said, But I was dead earnest then. Didn't you ever cherish some fond hope like that when you were young and foolish, Karen? And she had answered, Oh yes, when I was young. But I wasn't foolish, Scott. I don't think it's so foolish to do a little day-dreaming. I used to dream that some day I would take a world cruise. I pictured myself in England, on a perfectly ripping fox hunt, tearing after the hounds and making the killing. And then I could see myself in an old castle in France, wandering up and down dimly lighted halls, climb- ing up curved stairways, opening secret doors, and coming into a huge, ele- gant room with an immense chandelier hanging from the high ceiling. Then the scene would change to Switzerland and I'd be skiing in the Alps. fShe remembered with a smile that practical-minded Scott had remarked, I thought you couldn't ski. D Then I'd imagine myself in Hawaii, stretched out on the beach. Guitars would be strumming off somewhere and the moon would be shining through the palm trees. Ummm, what grand times I used to have! Scott was utterly masculine, but he had a woman's intuition. I-le had learned, from her wistful smile, that those air-castles hadn't tumbled. Karen, he had said, I promise you that some day I'll take you to all those places. And now he was trying to keep that promise. He was working for a promo- tion, but at the same time, he was working himself thin. The only time she saw him was at breakfast and when he came home at night, usually too tired to lift a finger. She realized that it was unfair for her to sit in that third story living room, smugly dissatisfied, while Scott was working like fury, all for her. But she wondered, was it worth-while - her sitting home alone night after night, his slaving at the office night after night, their forgetting to live? Was it going to be worth while, she wondered - that trip they were to take some day? Would it make up for all their past unhappiness? Her gloomy thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a door slamming downstairs. It was Scottg he always slammed the door. Karen-oh Karen, she heard him call, and ran to the head of the stairs. I-Ie was taking the steps two at a time and calling out, l've got big news for you, Karen honey! Well, but Scott - take it easy! Other people live in this house. You'll wake Bixby's baby. Thats fine. Then he can get in on the news, too. I'd tell the whole world if I could. Mrs. Kirby, let me inform you that your husband has been pro- motedl Well, it was a happy night for the Kirby's. The thought of their trip abroad never entered Karen's mind until later. It struck her that to both of them the promotion meant a different thing: to her it meant an achievement for Scott, to him it meant another stepping stone across the Atlantic Ocean. Queer, she thought - it should be quite the opposite. If Scott ever was incited to work harder, it was now. His work filled his entire life, he thought and spoke of nothing else. But he was rewarded for I52l his industry, for he kept climbing gradually and after eight months was given a position as manager of one of the plants. Karen was extremely happy over Scott's achievements, of courseg but something was the matter, something was definitely wrong. She hadn't wanted things to turn out this way -- Scott living only for the office. She had always thought it would be marvelous if he really could make her dreams come true, but if it meant sacrificing their happiness, it certainly wasn't fair to either of them. She won- dered, a bit guiltily, if his motives had remained the same. She suspicioned that an element of the more you get, the more you want had cropped in. And yet she couldn't be that harsh. And suddenly, it seemed almost provi- dential, her eyes encountered this bit of verse printed on a magazine page: Now it may be, the flower for me ls this beneath my nose, l-low shall I tell, unless I smell That Carthaginian Rose? Yes, that was it. That described Scott's motives perfectly. It might be the position he had now was just the thing for him, but how could he know unless he first tried for something better? And why shouldn't he hitch his wagon to a star? Karen was the sort of person who couldn't think badly of anyone for any length of time. And she scolded herself for losing her faith in him even the least bit. The Kirby's were planning their trip abroad. Karen couldn't make herself out. At last the big moment had come: she was about to get what she had wanted above everything else, had longed for all her life -- and she didn't care. Oh, apparently, she was thrilled about it, but down deep in her heart she knew there wasn't the exhuberence there should be. She was disgusted with herself too, for feeling this way after Scott had devoted two years of his life entirely to bringing this about. But it just didn't seem to have been earned rightly - financially, yes, of course, but - she couldn't express itl Might better forget it all and have the grand time she had been dreaming about for twenty-five years. Scott, making last arrangements at the office, tickets ordered and reserva- tions made, everything packed and in readiness - tomorrow they would be going, Karen thought incredulously, as she washed up the noon dishes. Sud- denly she saw Scott standing in the doorway. Scott home at noon! Some- thing was wrong. His face was white and drawn, his eyes staring, his mouth partly open. Karen, his lips just formed the word. She couldn't move, could just stand and stare. What's the matter? she whispered hoarsely. And when she realized. The stock market crash! The company - The company's gone under, completely under, he said. She moved in a trance the rest of the day, called the ticket office and can- celled their tickets. And in the distance she kept seeing fox hunts in England, castles in France, the Alps and the south sea islandsg but so terribly far off in the distance. They moved to a modest home in the suburbs, and it took a long time before Scott again became interested in making a living. You work your fingers to the bone and what do you get? he asked her. Yes, I understand how you feel, Scott dear. But don't work that hard. just put in an ordinary working day, and we'll try to make up for it at home, was Karen's advice, and Scott took it. Karen, strange to say, had at last E631 found contentment, and after a while, Scott showed signs of following suit. It was such a queer way, Karen often thought, to find happiness. But - How shall I tell, unless I smell The Carthaginian Rose? Vicki Sue Kirby broke the silence that had ensued for the past fifteen sec- onds. Silence was an unusual thing at the Kirby dinner table. You know what I'm going to do some day? What I want more than any- thing else? My dear, I have no idea. Do tell me! her brother, Ross, said mockingly. Vicki calmly disregarded him and said seriously, I'm going to Vienna and learn to sing and play the harp. Ross scoffed. Thats a girl for you. They have such silly ideas. You might as well forget about that, Vicki. Lots of people don't get a foot out of the state they were born in. Now me, l've got a much better idea. I'm going up in one of those big balloons. Mr. and Mrs. Kirby exchanged puzzled glances. Scott's expression said, Can this all be merely coincidence? Mother, is that such a silly idea, going to Vienna? Vicki's big brown eyes showed deep concern. Mrs. Kirby bent over and kissed the piquant nose on Vicki's upturned face. It certainly is not, she whispered in her ear. And don't let anyone try to tell you it is. Why make her air castles tumble? Karen knew what sweet pleasure there was in building them. ...WILMA HEYNS.
