Finally, education alone can conduct us to that enjoyment which is at once, best in quality and infinite in quantity. FOREWORD We sincerely hope that in the publi- cation of this Memoir we may bring back to your mind the many happy hours that you have spent at Chris- tian High. We are convinced that the ideals instilled in us during these three years merit perpetuation in the words and pictures offered in this volume. We hope, too, that in these pages, your minds will be impres- sioned with the value of Christian education and the privilege that is yours through the efforts of our par- ents, teachers, and friends. And, if, in the perusal of this book We have enabled you to re-live your experi- ences here, thus adding joy to your days, our purpose will have been fulfilled. It is with this aim in mind that we present this 1941 edition of the Memoir to our classmates, fac- ulty, and friends.

You are now prepared to either go find your niche in life or to go on to higher train- ing. But remember, whatever follows upon your career at Christian High, you are preparing for eternity. The latter idea is the one that inspired your parents to sacrifice and to pray for you. lt also imbued your teachers to give you the benefits of their years of experience and the devotion of their hearts. The Board is laboring with that same idea uppermost in mind, and the Ladies' Circle is untiring in its efforts in behalf of our school. The times that we are passing through put us all in the mood, willy nilly, of sober reflection. History is being made at such a rapid pace that the map makers are unable to cope with the situation, But we know that God is moving across the pages of history and that nothing happens without His will. The finest and noblest ideal that you can set up for yourselves is, by the grace of God, to learn to know and do His will. We can best learn to know the will of God by a regular, prayerful study of His Holy Word. Your teachers have laid a very good foundation for you in Bible knowledge. lt is now up to you, by the Grace of God, to build the super- structure in a life of devotion and loyal service to God and your fellowman. Make the most of your opportunities to show to the world that you are in the world, but not part of it, and that the Reformed Christian has a very definite contribution to make for the well being of mankind in every realm of human endeavor. May God bless you and cause you to be a blessing, and a credit to the home, the school, and the Church you represent. In behalf of the Board, GEO. I. BROQDMAN i' ik ... vvr' -- s v. lb MR. E. R.

STUDENT COUNCIL President - lack De Korne Secretary f - Thea lane Bouma Treasurer f - Bill De longe General Adjunct - lim Bronlcema Student Council efforts have been clearly apparent in school life this year. The council was divided into coininittees, each committee supervising one phase of activity. Student-planned assemblies were featured. In chapel exercises, we en- joyed outside speakers every Week, and on Fridays the Music Department entertained with special selections. With the money raised during the year, the Council purchased a new flag for the school. For the first time, our Student Council has been a member of the Grand Rapids lnterhigh Student Council, meeting with delegates from all the other city schools at monthly meetings. We hope that future student councils, also backed by a cooperative stu- dent body, may carry on and improve the plans we have begun this year. Then, as our efficient sponsor, Mr. Post, has said, The Student Council will be the most active and beneficial student organization at Christian High. T. I. B. ll2i Top Row: E. Stevens, l.

At the beginning of the current school year, a new club was organized. An interesting feature of this organization was that we all had the opportunity to demonstrate our various culinary abilities in the preparation of refresh- ments. Aside from a few cases of violent gastronomical disturbances and abdominal pains, we enjoyed ourselves most in this desirable feature. Apparently the club has been a success. We have accomplished all we intended to do and enjoyed ourselves immensely. We, the members of this extraordinary organization, sincerely express our thanks to Mr. Timmerrnan for his able leadership. We hope this organization may grow in future years to be enjoyed by the generations to come. G. K. tl4l Top Row: M. Ritzema, G. De Maaqd, M. De Ionge, G. Broene, I. De Korne, I. Ryskamp, E.

C. Each girl helped to make our club a grand success. At our first meeting we re-organized and plans were made for the ini- tiation of a few new members. We each have a Secret Pal to whom we send some little gift on the holidays. Besides our regular meetings, we have been very busy with outside activities, including a treasure hunt, a Christmas party, and a taffy-pull. We also went bowling twice, attended the Calvin Thes- pian play, and went tobagganing at Ravenswood. As a special climax, we are looking forward to a house party. Miss Vertregt has been an excellent sponsor, and we thank her most heartily for the time she has spent with us. E. D. ll6l Top Rowli Boerema, I. Veenstra, D. Fynewever, B. Ridderinq, C, Dekker, B.

When we as alumnae come to the games and see the girls selling, we'll always remember what pleasure there was in that busy task. At the end of the first semester we had a farewell hayride party for the girls who left school at that time. lt seemed strange at first with only about half of us left, but We still have good times coming. We express our appreciation for the friendly leadership that Miss Zand- stra has given us, and We are happy that friendships with our sponsor and our club members will far outlast high school days.

Dressed in bright red jerkins, We met the muses there. Miss Zandstra, in her inimitable way, introduced us to the muse of litera- ture, a special friend of hers. Under this expert and delightful guidance, we were inspired to write both prose and poetry. Often these original compositions appeared in the Emblem. We also sent in some of our best work to the Scholastic Round Table. We are planning to place several books in our school library this year. We had fun too. We enjoyed a long hike and steak roast last fall, and this winter an indoor end-semester evening party. But even though at times we revelled in the pleasures of the palate, we were at our best in the high air of literary idealism on top of Mount Parnassus. T. I. B. l20l Top Row: L. Van Alten, E.

S. rzai SEASON IN REVIEW East Grand Rapids - Christian opened the season with a decisive victory over the rather weak East Grand Rapids quintet. The Eagles displayed a fine brand of bas- ketball for the opening game. The team had little trouble with East jumping into a lead of 17-2 at the end of the first quarter and led 27-5 at the half. The final score was 44-16. Grand Haven - The Christian Eagles trav- elled to Ottawa County to do battle with Grand Haven. It was a nip and tuck affair with the lead changing hands for the first three quarters, but Grand Haven's offense started to roll in the last quarter and couldn't be stopped by the Eagles. The final score was Grand Haven 33, Christian 22. Central - Determined to start the city league off right, the Christian Eagles took the Hill- toppers from Central into camp by a close 3l-26 victory. lt was a hard fought contest with Christian in front all the way. This was the first time we were victors over Central on their home floor. South - Hoping to continue on to another City Championship the Christian Eagles were defeated by a fast and scrappy South High team. South showed some fine ball handling and good defense. The final score was South 39, Christian 24. Holland Christian - On New Year's day be- fore a crowd of l500 jamming the Holland Armory the Grand Rapids Christian Eagles bowed to Holland Christian ending their winning streak of five games over the Tulip City lads. The game started slowly with both teams handling the ball with caution. The Eagles led at the end of the first quar- ter 6-4 but the score was tied at 13 all at the half. In the second half the lead changed hands about five times and the game ended in a tie, 28 all. One overtime was played with each team getting one basket, but Holland Christian won by the new point system rule. Union - Following the vacation the team re- turned to the city race to battle the Union Red Hawks. The game was a close one with Christian managing to win out in the last minutes by a 22-17 score. The Eagles showed ragged ball handling and poor shooting. E301 Davis Tech - In contrast to their playing of a week before the Eagles took a decisive 40-31 victory over the Davis Tech Wildcats. Christian took a slim lead at the end of the first quarter ll-7 and from then on coasted to victory. Ottawa - The following week the Eagles duplicated their splendid performance by outclassing the Ottawa High Indians by a 40-36 score. Christian was ahead all the way jumping to an early lead in the first quarter 14-7 which was increased to 37-20 at the end of the third quarter. At this point Ludwick's boys started hitting the hoop from all angles but fell short of tying it up. Catholic - Christian playing its second game of the week bowed to the tall Catholic Central team by a 37-30 score. The game was close throughout with Catholic holding the lead all the way. Creston - Christian experienced much diffi- culty with the Creston aggregation who were in there fighting all the way. The game was marked by an enormous total of 45 fouls with Christian getting 19 called on them and Creston 26. The game was close all the way until the last few minutes when the Christian lads took over a sizable lead. The final score was 35-30. This game marked the last appearance of Rosema, Boshoven, and Vanden Berg who were lost due to the eight semester rule. Central - The following week Christian start- ed with a new lineup. The Eagles took an- other thriller against Central, beating them in the closing seconds by a 21-20 score. The Eagles held a slim 9-7 lead at the half but the Central Hilltoppers took over the lead going into the fourth quarter 16-14. Christian then came through with 3 field- goals and l foul shot to take the game. Holland Christian - Playing on the Burton floor the Grand Rapids Christian Eagles fell one point short of beating Holland Christian after holding a slim lead throughout the en- tire game. The Eagles jumped to an early lead at the end of the first quarter ll-5 only to lose out in the closing minutes of the game on quick field goals by the Tulsmen. The final score was Christian 30, Holland 31. South - Determined to avenge the defeat Christian received from the South cagers the first time, the Eagles went into the game with high spirits and fighting for every loose ball like a band of Indians. The team kept pretty well on even terms with the Patterson lads for the first half. At the start of the second half the Trojans from South High hit a hot streak, and couldn't miss and built up a 34-22 score to take the game. Union - The next game saw Christian play- ing the Red Hawk's from Union on the Otta- wa floor. The Ellingston's lads jumped to an early lead at the end of the first quarter 12-27 a lead which Christian could never overcome. The final score was Christian 18, Union 28. Tech - The final game of the regular city league saw Christian pitted against Tech. The fighting Wildcats hung right in the game and managed to win out 25-24. This game put Christian in third place which isn't such a poor showing considering the loss of so much material last year and at the half way mark this year. Coach' Beu- kema did a wonderful job of keeping the team agoing. TOURNAMENT Lee - Christian drew the weak Lee team as their opponent in the Class B District Tournament. The Eagles experienced no difficulty with the Lee quintet as we held a large lead at the end of the first half. The subs finished most of the second half. They also turned in a fine performance. The final score was 48-14. East - The following night we met East Grand Rapids for the second time this season. The Eagles duplicated their feat again by setting the Pioneers back on their heels by a one-sided score of 51-20. The Eagles jumped to an early lead and held a large lead throughout the entire game. The Chris- tian team was presented a trophy as a result of its victory over the East Grand Rapids team. Greenville - Coach Beukema's boys had quite a tussle with the Greenville outfit and really knew they were in a battle before the game was over. Both teams were equally matched and equally tired. Chris- tian led at the first quarter 8-7 only to be overtaken by Greenville which led until the closing minutes when Coach Beukema's boys put on a spurt and won 29-27. Manistee - The next night found Christian pitted against Manistee, who defeated Grand Haven the night before. The teams started out slow with the score 7-6 in favor of Manistee at the end of the first quarter, but Christian led 13-10 at the half. The Beukema-men entered the second half with renewed confidence and fought bitterly to the fourth consecutive regional champion- ship. Sturgis - Hoping to win a .state champion- ship the Christian Eagles were eliminated by a tall and rangy Sturgis team. The Eagles gave the Sturgis team a battle des- pite the great difference in height. The final score was Sturgis 36, Christian 22. l.S. 1...f'A'4f M- f V VWAJ M2591-1 , . 1'- Y ,dj .,f ' 1 T311 I Top Row' A. Kwani, B. Wolijer, IW. Frynewever, M. Hoekstra, G. Drk, B. Sinlce, D.

Tucker Manager - - - - Lillian Wyngarden Sponsors - - Miss Seven and Miss Zanclstra This year a Home Hygiene Class, under the direction of the American Red Cross Association, was organized here at Christian High. Classes of this kind have been formed all over the country, so that general health conditions may be bettered, and the nation may be ready in emergencies. Mrs. Martha E. Tucker, a local Red Cross nurse, has been our instructor, meeting with us every Thursday afternoon. Some of the more important things we studied were personal hygiene, isolation technique for communicable diseases, and first aid. Mrs. Tucker has made the course very instructive and at the same time enjoyable. L. W. TENNIS After two weeks of battling both the wind and each other, the veteran, skilled players have begun to eliminate the glory-seeking new-corners. And incidentally, this is the cause of the coach's, Mr. Vander Ploeg's swell coat of tang he has not been in Florida. The rank of the doubles teams is not yet certain. It seems to be a toss-up between DeMaagd and Holtvluwer and the Scamehorn-Straayer combination for the No. l and No. 2 spots, with H. Lotterman and Al. Lotterman the alter- nates. Boyd Hoffman's enviable back hand and powerful forehand has a good chance of earning for him the No. l singles position, leaving 2 and 3 wide open, to be conquered by Iim Ritzema, Cliff Orlebeke, or Lambert Steen. GOLF Another golf season has come and many boys have tried out for the team. Mr. Bratt, the coach, has staged a tournament among the boys, and those finishing on top have been selected as members of the squad. The team has four veterans. Six players will be carried but only four will play at the different matches. The team members are: Scholtens, Hollander, Thomasma, Ritzema, and the Smalligan brothers. E.

JOHN DE HAAN. Sponsor. HISTORY OF CLASS OF '41 In the month of September, 1938, we, the class of 4l, began our short stay of three years at Christian High. When we as freshies looked ahead those three years seemed eternally long. Gil Broene was chosen by the class as skipper to pilot the ship We Know It All to the port of Iuniors safely. This he did very ably, and by the time we became Iuniors all this pride and superiority complex had lefty from then on we became a class which we hope and believe will long be remembered at Christian High. Our two sponsors, Mr. Fles and Mr. Vanden Berg, have had much to do with our success during our school years at Christian High, dis- playing much patience with a class so anxious to move ahead. Bob Boshoven was elected Class President in our Iunior year. As usual the big event in this year was the Iunior-Senior Party, held on a very warm, typical mid-summer night at the LaGrave Ave. Parish House. After a rous- ing farewell to the Seniors we as Iuniors were moved forward to the enviable position of Seniors. In our Senior year a new type of money raising program was introduced. To swell our treasury, we hit upon the plan of showing noon-hour pictures, thus eliminating two big problems, that of money raising for the Senior Class and the noon-hour inactivity. lack De Korne, our president, spent much time on this project as did our sponsors who censored every picture. On March 26, 1941, we were deeply shocked to learn of the unexpected death of our classmate and friend, Vernon Verduin. Vern was not an active member in outside school activities but this was due to his health and his work at home. Vern was faithful and dependable and a pleasant companion. As one of the teachers remarked, even though he was not in the best of health and lived a long way from school, he was always prepared for his studies. He had many qualities of character that we would do well to imi- tate. May we never forget Vern, whom we now believe to be in the Eternal Home. We now look forward to the Senior Play, and the Iunior-Senior Party, with the other Senior year activities. As we look back over those three fleeting years which have gone by, we are saddened as we think of leaving Chris- tian High, the teachers, and all the classmates, to find our way in life. May our future, either in further education, or in the business world, be as pleasant as the days we have spent at Christian High, and may We give evidence of the fact that we have had a Christian education. Again our thanks to our two excellent sponsors, Mr. Fles and Mr. Van- den Berg, for their interest shown in the Class of 4l. M. D. I. E511 COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS Three years ago a new class was formed at Christian High School. Each member had his own goal set, but we all looked forward to the time when we would graduate. Tonight that desire is being fulfilled. This should mean more to us than just a completion of three years work, more than just being finished with high school. It is not only a completion, but it is also a beginning, a beginning of a new period of our lives. In the past years our character has been developing, we have come in contact with new ideas and formed many of our own: now our personal char- acter will be tested by the many temptations of the World, and our ideas will have to be used by us to make our lives successful. And Why shouldn't We make a success of our lives, for we not only have had an academic but also a Christian education which is invaluable in every crisis of life. On the whole, life at Christian High has been very enjoyable, but it wasn't all fun - we had our ups and downs as all people do in other phases of life. Not as serious perhaps as those that are to come, but still to us they meant something. We had just as much trouble with tests, examinations, and teach- ers as you had when you went to school. However, We must not look on the mistakes we made as things to be forgotten but we intend to profit by them. In the future as well as the past, we will have God to thank for the guid- ance and strengthening force that was given to each and every one of us. The Christian education we received was not made possible without sac- rifices. Our parents have deprived themselves that we might enjoy not only education of the mind, but also of the soul. For this we should like to thank them with all our hearts. f52fl We also Wish to express our gratitude to the faculty, Whose advice cmd encouragement was a great help during our school years. Even though there were times when we thought the school would be much improved with the absence of some of them, if we look back we admit that they were helpful and an important part of our school life. To Mr. Post, too, we express our deep appreciation for the capable lead- ership he rendered to the school. The class would like to thank our sponsors, Mr. Fles and Mr. Vandenberg, and our personal advisers for their time and effort so willingly given us. Naturally, school isn't made up of just students and faculty but there are organizations such as the Ladies' Circle and individuals who have contributed much to the school, and to them we say, Thank you. The School Board, in whose hands the parents have entrusted the gov- erning of Christian High School, is also to be thanked as they have always done things for the good of the school and have put forth their utmost effort to make Christian High a better institution. It is time now for us to leave. Some of us will continue togetherp we will all make new friends, new acquaintances, but still we will remember our companionship at Christian High and our graduation tonight. One doesn't know whether to feel sad at the thought of leaving or happy at passing another milestone, but I think most of us have a combination of the two. We are happy to live in a democracy. lt is essential to a democracy that its people are clear-minded and straight thinkers. The faculty and all the various people and organizations I have mentioned here helped us to be better men and Women in the world. They have given us a start: it's our turn to finish it. We can do it, but more than that - by the help of God We will do it. lack De Kome I 53 l CLASS HONORS 0 1938-1939 OFFICERS Gilbert Broene ............., President .,..,,,,.,,..,..........

A,:., f g Season of Defiance As We, when camping, build our camp-fires high To keep away the thoughts and things we fear, So does the Summer, pale, and cool, and shy, Blaze out in warmth of color, when cold Winter's near. Frost frightens lovely Summer with his icy touch, She shivers 'neath his silvered breath. She hides herself within her leafy couch. But not before she's built her camp-fires bright, all Before she's done her best to ward off cold and death.

T.I.B. K Storm Sequence The angry gods had dashed the mighty billows 'gainst the shore, Against the patient shore whose every sand was changed by each succeeding wave. The rushing wind had torn the quivering poplars from the ground While shouting its defiance to the world. But now the slender grasses tremble in the breeze, The gulls alone disturb the mirrored surface of the lake And only driftwood and a freshly chiseled ledge Tell of the tempest of the night before.
