Yeah, l read that. l think clubs ought to be great sport. Look at all the good times you can have. Let's see. Chess club is for boys, isn't it? And both boys and girls can get in the Camera Club, and Stage and Bostrum. Yes, but Charmahn Club is only for out-of-town girls and their friends. Frosh and Soph's can try out for baseball and basketball though. l think l'll go sign up tor a lot ot them now. Don't be too disappointed if you don't get in many of them though, Dash. Because they're also open to luniors and Seniors and you know how they are. l'd tell you but there might be one around. l know what you mean. But l'm going to try just the same. 1-1 C ft sig' 1 A f ' .4 'ew f C- i 'C Q., .l ...14... W V d I t H B rsrna C Boersina M. Seven, E. Boersma, I. Hondema, A.

Strikwerda - - Sponsor l quess the Chess club changed its usual order quite a bit this year, due to the short noon hour. Yes, that noon hour business did upset a lot of things, didn't it? l'll say. But durinq the Winter the club participated in a very excitinq elimination tournament. They also enjoy football, so on their outinas they aet out there and kick the piqskin around. You ought to see the tur fly when thirtyftwo fellows sail into each other. The club, as Well as the school, is thankful and happy that its sponsor, Mr. Strikwerda, can remain with it. 115- Top Row: Miss H M. Zandstra T, Dwarshuis, R, l-luttmca, P. Mersman, l.

Yes, but all twelve ot its members, with Miss Zandstra, their sponsor, enjoyed every good time they could have. Let's see . . . they had skat- ing parties and ice cream and sandwich sales and in that way received money to cover their expenses and to pay tor a gitt to be given later to the school. Oh - do all clubs do that? l guess so. Anyway, their aim is to promote spiritual and social tel- lowship and carry it out by taking turns leading devotions and atter lunch by having a program with games. Sounds like a nice club. -15- DASH: l hadda laugh!

And may l pause to remark, 'not had' lt really was thoughtful oi Mr. De Haan to teach oil and Water tinting to the club during its meetings. Dor: Yes, l'm going to tint mine when l'm a Senior, too.

With all this cold the team can hardly get its muscles loosened up. The team practices at Garfield Park, doesn't it? Yes, that's their home field. But many games are played at the fields of other teams. Gur team lacks experience this year. And so we haver1't won arty games yet. l'll bet the fellows play with all their hearts though, dor1't they? You said it! They give it all they've got.

The reserves made a good showing for themselves. DoT: They Won ten out of their fifteen games, didn't they? DASH: Yes. Boy, did we have a good crop of freshies this year! And you should have seen Mr. Stulds face beam after a victory - but after a defeat he'd always say, 'Why do we have to get those referees? DOT: The team, the coach, Mr. S. Stuk, and student manager, Iack Van Stee, all did a wonderful job of making this a successful season.

And let me tell you, a lot of games we lost were just by a few points, too. You know, l think Mr. Beukema has a lot ot bouquets coming for the wonderful job he did of keeping the team going and for all his patience with the boys. And the team itself has plenty ot credit coming its Way for their plucky spirit even in defeat. Yes sir, they came through nice in the tourna- ment, too. And while we're handing out bouquets, let's not forget the fine job Mr. Dornbush made of handling the Faculty lVIanager's job. And the Student Manager, lim Vander Meulen, did Well, too. Those are bigger jobs than most people realize. So with a final thanks to the student body tor their support during the season, the team closes the scorebook for the time being R- hoping to see everyone again next December. -22- DASH: Here are the fortunes of the team for the 1942-1943 season. East Grand Rapids: Christian opened the new basketball season against the Pioneers at their own gym. The East quintet was a vastly improved outfit over last year's five. This was shown when they jumped to an 8 - 4 lead in the first quarter. Christian began to hit in the second quarter and led 15- 13 at the half. Continuing their persistent pace, the Eagles coasted to a 30-22 victory. Grand Haven: The Eagles hit the road for this game with the lads from the Lake Shore City. lt was an evenly matched, fast and furious affair right from the beginning. Chris- tian trailed by one point at the half. Both continued on even terms in the third and fourth periods. Christian just edged out ct victory in the final minutes of play by the score of 21 - 20. Union: The Eagles started off the current season by tangling with the Red Hawks at the West Siders' Gym. lt was a close game with Union managing to stay in front by at least two points all the way. The Eagles lacked altitude and scoring punch. And those Unionites were hot from the foul circle so they won by the score of 28-22. Tech: This wild and woolly thriller was played on the Burton Hardwood. It started slow and sloppy, but soon the fireworks be- gan. Tech was leading 16 -9 at the half time hour. However, in the third quarter the Eagles flew high and scored eight points while holding the Wildcats to exactly zero. The final canto ended in a flurry of shots with the score all knotted up at 22 - 22. In the over- time Christian scored 2 points, but the Voca- tionals opened up all the stops and scored 4 more tallies to take the game. Holland Christian: On New Year's day the Eagles went to the Tulip City resolved to humble the Maroons. of Holland Christian. Despite the gas shortage a capacity crowd filled the Armoury to see this annual fracas. The game started slowly and at the end of the first quarter Holland had scored 5 points and Christian 4. However, in the second quarter, the smooth Holland quintet began to ring up baskets at an adding machine pace. From there on they were never headed off. Their excellent control of the backboard and their beautiful handling prevented the Blue and Gold from ever getting started. The final score: 35-25. Ottawa: After losing three games in a row the Eagles sharpened their claws and deter- mined to give the Indians a drubbing. The Indians jumped to an 8-1 lead at the first quarter and things looked bad for Christian. However, Christian bounced back to take a three point lead at the half. ln the third quarter the Eagles rolled up 11 points to take a well padded lead of 26-18. Ottawa, not to be outdone, gave the Eagles a good scare in the last period, but the game ended with Eagles on top of a 33 -30 score. Catholic: Christian went to this game confi- dent that they needn't be trampled on by anyone. They started like a house afire and soon were enjoying a 6-point lead. ln the second quarter their hot pace slackened. The Cougars, seeing the relapse in Chris- tian's brand of ball, went at them with tooth and nail and quickly brought the half-time score to 19-17. ln the third quarter the Parochials continued their hot pace, smoth- ering a valiant attempt of the Eagles. The final gun found Christian trailing 35-41. Creston: Christian was the guest of the Polar Bears at this game. lt started like a thriller, with Creston leading by only 7-6 at the quarter. Then the game slowed down in the second quarter as the superior height of the Crestonites began to take effect. They rambled on to make 10 points while holding Christian scoreless. Creston kept on rolling through the rest of the game with Christian limping in on the short end of a 31 - 15 count. The Eagles showed flurries of offense but they were always short-lived. Central: Although playing a better brand of ball than against Creston, the Eagles still couldn't hit the bucket. The Hill Toppers bot- tled up whatever offense the Eagles could offer in a very effective zone defense. The Central outfit was smooth and they rolled over Christian by the score of 39-18. South: The Eagles again seemed on the downward trail, for they had lost their last three games. But they smoothed their ruf- fled feathers and determined to shoot the works at South. The game was a nip and tuck throughout: neither team having much of an edge. With less than two minutes to go Christian rang up two baskets to tie the old ball game. After another spurt Christian finally humbled the Trojans to the tune of 31 - 29. -23- Union: The Eagles after this swell taste of victory were hungry for a little more. So they set out to avenge their earlier defeat suffered at the hands of Union. This they did by play- ing one of their best defensive games of the season. Their air-tight defense held the Red Hawks to only one shot at the basket in the final two minutes of the game. Christian's fairly good offense coupled with their bril- liant defense paved the way to a 28-19 victory. Holland Christian: Christian was the host of the Hollanders at Burton Gym. This was a return game for the previous engagement played at Holland. Holland, enjoying a suc- cessful season was out to Win and ran up a 12-2 score at the quarter. Doing no better in the second quarter than in the first, the Eagles trailed 16-5 at the half. Consistently ringing up basket after basket the Maroons won the game easily by the score of 24-15. Tech: The Beukerna-coached men went into this game determined to wipe out their de- feat suffered earlier in the season. Despite the loss of two regulars the boys showed a great deal of fight. But the Wildcats with City Championship in view were not to be stopped. They played smooth ball and rolled Christian down by the handsome score of 35-23. Ottawa: This game was played before a ca- pacity crowd of bawling fans in the Ottawa Hills gym, Both teams were primed to a t and gave the fans the battle of a life- time. The Eagles rolled up a four point lead , V at the half. The second half Ottawa tied it up and from there on to the final gun it was a dog fight. However, the Indians scalped out a victory by a hair. Final: Ottawa 27- Christian 25. Catholic: The final game of the season was played at Burton before a meager crowd. Catholic led the first quarter, but the tide of battle rolled Christian's way, and at the half- way mark Christian led 15-10. But a third period slump allowed Catholic to pass Chris- tian and take the lead. Then Catholic put the skids under Christian and took the game 30 -25. The Area Toumament at Union In the first of a two-game series, Christian drew Godwin Heights for its opponent. This game was neither colorful nor exciting. God- win was completely outclassed. Christian offense again was pretty ragged but the Eagles bumped off Godwin by a 27-12 count. Lee High, in upsetting a favored East Grand Rapids team, became our next oppo- nent. This game with Lee was just the opposite of that with Godwin. Both teams tore into each other from the opening whistle on. Fouls were called left and right but nobody seemed to mind. ln the first quarter Chris- tian ran up a nice lead but at the half they were struggling behind a two point deficit. However in the last quarter Christian turned on the front burner and romped to a sizzling 33-24 victory. -2 4- DO'r: DAsH: DOT: DASH: DOT 1 DASH: DOT: Wait a minute, Dash.

DASH DOT: DASH: DOT: Dot and Dash Reminisce You know, Dash, it doesn't seem very long since we had our first class meeting, but it was way back in November, 1940. Let's see-that's two years and six, seven, eight months ago. lt doesn't seem possible. Remember how we filed into Session Room? We thought we were pretty important, too, having class meetings and even a constitution. Well we were something special for a batch of freshies. You can say that again, and those officers We elected in our first year- they turned out to be quite all right. Our check and double- check surely have been a help, too, haVen't they? lf you mean Miss Vertregt and Mr. Fridsma, they've been just super all the way through, ever since Mr. Post introduced them to us at our first meeting. Remember how new and different everything at Christian seemed after junior High? lt didn't take us long to get acquainted, though, and once We did- Well, we decided it Wasn't half-bad. And then that picnic at johnson Park-that was the highlight of the year. Remember? But how could you forget? Yes, and then when we thought we knew Christian High from one end to the other, We came back after summer vacation to find a new Chapel and an addition on the north of our school. We had to get acquainted all over again. Remember our first class meeting in the new Chapel? We put lim Wyngarden right up there with Washington and Lincoln and the rest by electing him for a second term. We decided we wanted Mae Wie- land as secretary for another year, too. We had a lot more class meet- ings in our junior year and I guess we didn't mind, judging from the way the president always had to make the motion to adjourn. Well. we had some vital matters to decide. First it was class rings and later the party we gave for the Honorable Seniors. WSIS That's another thing We aren't likely to forget right away. We the first class to have part of the junior-Senior party in our own audi- torium. Remember Our plays, Be Home by Midnight and Little Black Heliotrope? l'll bet those Seniors really envied us for our swell group of actors. No doubt, but they hadn't seen anything until they saw our Senior Play the next year. Mrs. Miniver really thrilled them. That wasn't our only Senior activity, though. Remember our Christmas Card and Stationery sale? I believe we made around two hundred and fifty dollars, didn't we? Close to it. We really worked, or at least most of us did. june Boersma, Ruth Postma, and Phil Driesens were surely capable in handling that money and all the rest We earned and spent. Every one of them made a good treasurer. And the secretaries weren't bad either. After Mae finished her two years, Annetta De Boe and Phyl Wolters each took a half-year's try at it. Karl Kromminga, Bob De Haan, Al Doezema, and Ken Smits as vice- presidents and Normajean Westenburg and Trudy Vander Ley as Assistant Secretary-Treasurers all did their part too. All in all, We chose a grand group of officers. -50- DASH: As soon as we finished being super-salesmen we started having our pictures taken. Remember how we kidded each other about breaking the camera? On the whole, l'd say they turned out OK. DOT: And then we attended another lunior-Senior Party, this time as guests of the luniors. l think l'd rather be a guest than a host, but both were fun. DASH: We were first in something else, too. Members of our class were the first to graduate in the middle of the term. lt seemed awfully dead'i around school after they left, and just a few months later we had tc leave. You know, we're going to miss that old school, Dot. DOT: You're telling me, and I hope Christian High will miss us just a fraction as much as we'll miss it.

The three years We have spent at Christian High have been three short years for most of us. Yet they have been years which have brought much change. When We entered America was at peace. Today as we graduate we step into a World at War. We as a Class and as individuals are thankful to God that during our high-school years, though they were years which brought War and trying times, We could attend a type of institution not found in many lands - a Christian High-school. All of us will remember the chapel exercises which were held in this auditorium each morning as one of the distinctive features of our high-school life. We thank our parents for the sacrifices they made to enable us to attend this school. We thank all the parents and friends of the school Who assisted in the erection of this new addition. We are grateful to our teachers for their Christian instruction and guidance. We especially Want to thank our individual advisers for their Willing assis- tance. We thank Mr. Post for his capable and friendly leadership during our stay. As a Class We want to thank our Class sponsors, Miss Vertregt and Mr. Fridsma, for their tireless efforts on behalf of the Class of '43. And finally, We owe a debt of gratitude to our School Board, to the Ladies' Circle, and to all those who individually and collectively labored on behalf of the school. We now bid you farewell. We are leaving the halls of Christian High to travel our various Ways. We are perhaps the first Class from which many may enter into military service directly upon or soon following graduation. Before long our Class may be scattered. Soon we may have representatives of this Class placed from North Africa to New Guinea. But no matter Where We must go or what we must do, Classmates, let us strive to uphold the Christian life, to be a credit to this school, and to be good servants of our God and of our Country. IAMES WYNGAARDEN -52- President's Address lune, l943l Especially this year do we realize what a privilege it is to be here as a group: parents, friends, students, and faculty. We are here tonight with mixed feelings in our hearts. There is the feeling of satisfaction, on the part of the students, that something important has been finished. We have accomplished what at first seemed so difficulty we have come to the end of the road which at first seemed so long. Of course, some will continue studying, but the satisfaction of having completed our education thus far remains for all of us. Parents, too, share that feeling with us. lt gives them great satisfaction to realize that their children have made something of themselves, or at least have started to do so. Some of our parents possibly went through only the eighth grade, and the knowledge that their children have now obtained more educa- tion than they had a chance to get, leaves a strong sense of gratification. On the part of the parents there is also the feeling of pride and joy as they realize that all those years of hard labor are beginning to bring their reward. On the other hand, it is true, as the poet Shelley said, Our sincerest laugh- ter with some pain is frought . Our satisfaction too is tempered with regret. We students regret that high-school days are over: hard days they were but good and happy days as Well. Possibly, too, there is regret on the part of the parents that their children have grown up so fast. Why, says Mother, it seems only yesterday that he started school. They undoubtedly think, too, of the changes that have taken place in those l2 or l3 short years. Which of you parents ever thought when you enrolled your boy that, when he graduated, he would graduate to be a soldier? Or who of the students ever thought that after he graduated from high- school he would be called into military service? Nevertheless, it is true. ln a very short time many of our boys will be in the Army or in some other branch of service. But we hasten to add that We are proud, even eager tc enter that service. We are proud to feel that we personally can serve Uncle Sam, and that we can fight for our rights and freedom. Of course, it is only natural that we do not desire to leave our homes, and families, and friends, But this is War, and we must not object. All we ask is God's guidance and your prayers. When we look back over this last year, we see that it has been a very different one from former years. Many new experiences have come to us bee cause of the war situation. First Aid classes were formed. The boys of our class entered upon a physical fitness program, and those who so desired were given Army and Navy officer candidate tests. A larger percentage of us than ever before have had jobs after school hours, and even nights. ln our assem- blies we've listened to talks by lieutenants and chaplains. The war was brought before us through such means as films and bond drives. But no matter what unusual circumstances arose, we kept right on going, and we pledge to keep on going. And for this determination to continue, we feel indebted to the faculty and to Mr. E. Pt. Post, who trained and guided us during our stay here. And so we bid farewell. As our motto states, we are launched but not anchoredg launched on the sea of life. We hope to go into the business world, or into industry, or into college life, or into military service. We humbly ask God's grace in all we undertake, and we pray that He will show us the paths in which We should go-until the day when He will anchor us in the world beyond.

To the Graduates of the 1943 Class THis IS the first time in the history of our school that many of our graduates, instead of continuing their schooling at college or taking up some occupation, face the prospect of being inducted into the Military Service of our Country. Prom school and home some of you will be hurled immediately into an environment which will be an actual test of your character and the genuine- ness of your faith. You will be thrown into a situation that will call for a deep and sound foundation, if you are to remain standing. The Board, as well as your parents, are grateful that you can face this new adjustment equipped with a Christian training and with years of instruction in the truth of God. We are happy to have done, as a Board, what we could during these years while you were here under the influence of Christian teachers and were exposed to the atmosphere of a Christian institution, to prepare you for the dangerous days that lie ahead. Especially are we grateful that in the class rooms, in the Chapel exercises and personal contacts you could be directed to the Savior, for in times like these, everything else is secondary to the question whether you are right with Crod through Christ and whether you have the promises which are the property of those who believe on the Lord. Though many of you will not be going into the Armed forces, when you leave school, you, too, will be hurled into a world of bewilderment, disillusion- ment, and readiustment. You, too, shall be put to a test. May the years at Christian High School stand you in good stead. May you, by the Grace of God, keep the faith, and in so doing, keep the home fires burning, until the boys return. BoARD or CHR1sriAN HIGH ScHooL. -55.. Behind the Scenes MR. M. HoUsKAMP MR. D.
