CLASS FLOWER White Rose CLASS COLORS Red and Blue Awards Bert Vanden Berg, Commercial Scholarship Medal Calvin College Freshman Scholarship All-Round Girls' M.C.C. Cup All-Round Boys' Alumni Cup Bausch and Lomb Science Award .270 President's Address . . . February JI94-4 Ladies and Gentlemen: As president of the Senior Class it is my honor and privilege to address you this evening. As you may have noticed from your programs the motto which we as a class have chosen is- Service for God and Country. We feel that this is an appropriate and significant motto. It is appropriate because, though we graduate at a time when the world is passing through a period of tragic uncertainty, when nations are fighting against one another for varying and conflicting purposes, we still recognize this one abiding pur- pose of life- Service for God and Country. It is immediately appropriate for those who expect to enter into military service within the next few months. There are among the graduates tonight those who know definitely the time of their departure for the armed forces. And this motto is significant because it symbolizes our ideal and goal. It truly presents to us a worthy challenge to lead a life of service for God and Country. We have enjoyed these past three years at Christian. Enjoyed them because of new acquaintances made, the pleasant surroundings, and also because of the many changes that have taken place. When we first arrived here most of us did not have the privilege of going to chapel. We had to remain in our rooms and listen to chapel services over the loud speakers. Now, how- ever, we have this spacious auditorium in which the entire student body worships. Another change was the increase in enrollment. More and more parents want their children to receive a Christian education. We, of the graduating class, desire to express our deep appreciation to our parents, who have reared us in the Christian home, church, and school. Parents who have made sacrifices so that we might obtain that which we have tonight. To Mr. Post we wish to express our thankfulness for his capable leadership and understanding guidance in our school life. To the School Board we express our deep gratitude for successfully main- taining this institution. Our class also wishes to acknowledge its appreciation of the work of the faculty in their striving to lead us in the Christian interpretation of life. l say striving advisedly, but let me add-striving not without success. As a class organization we owe a debt of gratitude to our sponsors, Mr. De Vroome and Mr. Vander Ploeg, who have guided and instructed us in such a way that we were able to remain on the 'right track. Nor are we unmindful at this time of the guidance of our individual advisers. To the Ladies' Circle who have contributed to this school in a financial way, we say a hearty Thank You. The time has come, fellow-classmates, for us to part, to bid farewell to the school, and to one another. The friendships we have formed here we will long remember. We have passed another milestone on life's pathway. Some of us will be continuing our education, several will be going into military service, and still others will take their places in society. Wherever we go, let us remember the name of Christian High and aim to uphold its honor. Finally, let -us not fail to remember our class text- Trust in the Lord with all thy heart and lean not upon thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He will direct thy paths. WILLARD VAN ANTWERPEN 0 n Presidenfs Address . . . llune 1944 Dear Parents, Teachers and Friends: What does the future hold? What does the future hold for us, the graduating class of 1944, as we pass this milestone in our lives and begin our journey upon life's pathway? These are serious times, and we know not what lies ahead, but regardless of what the future may have in store for us, we can face it courageously because of our Christian viewpoint on life. It is, therefore, that we as a class have chosen the appropriate motto, Service for God and Country. The first part of this motto is applicable to all of us, for we have been placed upon this earth to glorify our Father in heaven and this must always be our aim in life. The second part of our motto, Service to Country, applies directly to those of us who will soon be leaving to serve in the armed forces of our countryp but no matter in what sphere of life we may find ourselves, we must all keep Service for God foremost in our minds. With this as a class motto, we have something worthy to strive for, and we realize what a Christian education has meant to us in this connection. For this, we would like to express our deepest appreciation to our parents who have sacrificed and loyally supported our school. They knew what this Christian education would mean to us in the future. We also wish to express our gratitude to Mr. Post and the faculty who have so willingly and patiently labored with us during our stay at Christian High. We now realize what an important part they have played in the molding of our lives. We sincerely wish to express our thankfulness to our personal advisers, especially to our class sponsors, Mr. De Vroome and Mr. Vander Ploeg, who have devoted much of their time to the guidance of our class. We are also indebted to those groups who labor 'behind the scenes, to the board members who so willingly give their time and talent for the successful operation of our school, and to the Ladies' Circle and other individuals who contribute much to the well-being of our school. To them, we say Thank you. The time has now come to say Farewell and to bid Good-bye to one another and to our beloved school. As we look back on our short stay at Christian High, we realize it has been a pleasant one. We have made many new acquaintances and lasting friendships. Our studies were mingled with pleasures, ofttimes more pleasure than study. We have seen a transition in our lives, from boys and girls to young men and women. From now on, our paths will diverge. Some will continue their education. Others will take their places in the business world and some of us will be called to serve our country. But no matter where we are or what we are doing, may we always hold high the Christian banner and fight to maintain our Christian principles. Our class text will be a constant source of encouragement in carrying out this ideal - Trust in the Lord with all thy heart and lean not upon thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He will direct thy paths. RICHARD M. DE VOS 0290 Cllass History In September of 1941 A.D. in the honorable institution of Christian High, there were gathered one hundred-ninety young people, whom I shall hesitate to call students for reasons obvious to all instructors. Upon close inspection these young people were observed to be of a greenish hue. In fact, they were of that class of untouchables known as Freshmen. These young inno- cents were informed that for the next three years they would be under the patronage of Messrs. I. De Haan and I. Vander Ploeg. After considerable deliberation the class placed its confidence in Robert Knott by electing him to the office of president, which office he filled very ably. In the spring we celebrated the successful completion of our first year by a hilarious picnic at lohnson Park. And so ended our first year. After they managed to herd us back to school following summer vacation and we had stopped comparing tans and telling of the fish we did and didn't get, we settled down to the task of being juniors. We elected Don De Graaf as our president. We were informed that one of our patient sponsors, Mr. De Haan, had decided to resign. Needless to say we received this news with regrets but we were consoled by the addition of Mr. M. De Vroome to aid Mr. Vander Ploeg in his difficult task of keeping us in check. Our class made the Senior students honored guests at a banquet held in the spring. The seniors, the faculty, and the junior hosts-all of us had a very pleasant evening. Our class was visited with grief when a good friend and faithful classmate was taken from us by death. We missed Nella Kaashoek through the rest of our school terms. And so was our second year. We came back as learned and sophisticated seniors. We picked Willy C'I'hat Ain't Parliamentary Procedurel Van Antwerpen as president. Class meetings under the leadership of the renowned Willy were a joy. His insist- ance upon Robe1't's Rules of Order in the face of forced adjournments and skip day motion will long be remembered. We showed our industry in the fall by putting on a repeat performance of our popular Iunior Play, Almost Summer, for two nights. In February we bade goodbye to forty-two swell people including our president who from then on were to be alumni. As a farewell we gave them a hayride party. Although the weather was slightly dismal our spirits were not. The hayride was a great success in many ways. Need I say more? Christian High's glamor boy, Rich De Vos, was chosen as . 30 . our next president. February 29 or Glory Day is a day that will not soon be forgotten by any of us. On that memorable date we celebrated with much more enthusiasm than common sense the city championship won by our basketball team. About this time our lives were blighted by the appearance of small white folders which were received with groans and fainting spells. i'Got your pictures yet, Huh? Our Senior Play, Anne of Green Gables, was given for two nights in April. It proved to be a success. We're looking forward to the coming summer vacation with mingled feelings. We'll be saying goodbye for good to that mixture of architecture which appears lovely to those who have belonged within its walls and to that hard-working group of people, our teachers. Although we seldom show it in action or word, we really know that you are the best faculty to be found in any school. On the last day of school We'll turn just outside the door and say, So Long. The green young freshmen of 1941 will have been turned out and we will no longer be members of the school which has borne with and sheltered us for three busy and happy years. THELMA MULDER 31' Zin iillemuriam E L W A R D V I S Dec. 25, 1927-Dec. 29, 1943 Elword Vis, G Iunior, was suddenly token from our midst in December, 1943. He had been with us only four months, but all who had met him knew him cis cz good student cmd cr fine, upright young fellow. We miss him, but we know thot he is now with our Father in Heaven. .32.

Student Council President - - Barbara Van Kleef Secretary - - Theresa Wiersrna Treasurer - - - - Frank De Haan General Adjunct - - - Charles Huizenga The Student Council was rather late in getting started this year, but after we organized We really accomplished many things. The Council was divided into four committees: the Ways and Means, the Building and Grounds, the Assembly, and the War Stamp and Bond com- mittees. To prove that we are actually functioning, several assemblies have been held, paddle pops were sold, and the War Bond and Stamp sales have been gaining rapidly, thanks to the students. Under Mr. Post's guidance, we have resolved to strive to be a truly repre- sentative body that backs up the students' desires. T. W. .444 Top Row: I. Smeelink, G. Van Dommelen, M, W ngarden, T.

Vignettes, poems, essays, and compositions were the results, and by them the girls proved themselves worthy of their high standing among the clubs of the school. The meetings were held at the homes -of the individual members, where the finest of delicacies were served to appease our youthful appetites. Reading and Writing were not the only activities of our group. Parties, skating, and hikes are all included in the fun shared by the girls.

There has long been a need for a club of this type that gives young musicians an opportunity to develop poise and technique. The members are intensely interested in developing ease and grace in public performance. From present indications we believe that the Music Club is to be a perma- nent organization. It has filled a real need and will be a welcome group to all music loving students in the future. Mrs. Haan's inspiring influence has done much toward making this new project a success. E. K. .53.

In December the choir sang at the annual Christmas dinner of the Grand Rapids Lotus Club. Ianuary 20, 1944, the choir gave a concert at the Ienison Christian Reformed Church. The selections sung by the choir this year include TschaikoWsky's Night- ingale , Beethoven's Woodland Symphonyng All in the April Evening , by Robertson, a few Negro spirituals, and many more well known and beautiful selections. Because of wartime transportation difficulties, the Whole choir will not be able to attend the State Music Festival in Lansing this spring, but we are planning to send an octet from the choir and a few soloists. Plans for the Annual Spring Festival and the A Cappella Choir concert are now being made. Also, the Choir Festival of our four Christian High School Choirs is again being planned. We wish at this time to thank our many friends in Grand Rapids who have complimented and encouraged us throughout the school-year. l.V. c 1 Top Row: K. Kortlever, I. Van Dyk, D. Tanis, G. Gritter, I.

Haan and aided by the student directors, the band has completed another successful year. The band played at all pep meetings and at the home basketball games, which did much to arouse the old-time Christian High spirit. As a patriotic gesture it played the national anthem before each basketball game. The merit system, which authorizes the giving of awards, helps to keep the enthusiasm of the members high. The emblem C super-imposed on a lyre for the completion of one year, a certificate for two years, and a medal for three years, are the rewards for faithfulness. The school sh-ould be proud of its band, because much effort and ability is required to produce such an organization. I.D. 0550 Top Row: I. Nagelkerk, R. Hendricks, D, De Graft, I. Pruis, E.

BK 0590 Season in Review TECH-The Eagles started the ball roll- ing by trimming the Wildcats nicely at Burton gym. The contest was seriously threatened only once, when the score was tied at 18-all in the third quarter. The final tally stood 29-20 for the Eagles. Weeber of Tech took top scoring honors with 12 points, while Ioe Worst followed with ll. GRAND HAVEN -This game was unusual because it was one of the very few that the Eagles dropped. The f-lavenites fought to an 18-8 lead at the half, but the Eagles came back hitting on all five and out- scored their opponents nicely, bringing the tally to 19-20 at the quarter, still, however, in favor of the boys from the Lalze Shore. In the last quarter the teams really cooked on all ten burners, and the stands Went wild as the score stood Christian 26, Grand Haven 25, with less than a minute left. But the Havenites sank a free throw, and scored three baskets in the overtime, to settle the Eagles' hash by 32-26. George Worst totaled 14 points. OTTAWA-One more step was taken in the right direction when the Eagles really rimmed the Ottawa Redmen. The Braves fought valiantly and chalked up 4 points while holding the Eagles to a mere I7 in the first half. Scoring was even-up in the third and last quarters, standing at 21-8 at the end of the third, and pulling the curtain on a 27-14 massacre as the gong sounded. George Worst and the Ottawa team shared top honors, each scoring 14 points. CATHOLIC-The Cougars got their whis- kers singed in their own den, even though the outcome was anybody's guess before the game. Eagle Ioe Worst really soared, taking the lead in establishing a 16-11 margin at the half, and a 35-23 victory, and chalking up the amazing total of 23 points - even-up with the Catholic team. HOLLAND-The traditional battle with the Maroons offered partial revenge for the Eagles for past defeats. As usual, it was a wild and woolly, bone-chilling game with both teams putting up a glori- ous scrap. The Tulip City boys grabbed a 6-2 lead in the starting stanza but the Eagles narrowed it to 11-12 at the inter- mission and pulled up to a 17-17 tie at the quarter. The last quarter showed an iron-clad defense on both sides until the Maroons scored on a charity throw taking the lead by one point. But the Eagles slipped the old apple through the hoop and stalled in the shadow of their own basket as the horn blew in the game by a 19-18 score. CRESTON-The Bears were the next vic- tim of the soaring, onrushing Eagles, but they died hard. They sported a 14-13 advantage at the half, and things looked dark. However, they relaxed a little at the third, and the aroused Eagles winged to a 32--22 lead. Then the Bears clamped down again and held Christian scoreless while they sweated 4 points out of them, leav- ing the score at 32-26. George Worst got credit for 12 points. CENTRAL-Christian upheld its record in handing the stubborn Central Hilltoppers a neat shellacking. Scoring was rather free in the 'first part of the game, standing at I8-all at the half. Then the Eagles set- tled into stride and piled up a 28-22 margin in the third quarter, lengthening it to a comfortable 37-25 as the final horn sounded. George Worst got credit for 12 points. SOUTH-The mighty ambitions of South's Trojans availed nothing when they bumped into the Eagles. They stayed on the small end of the score during the entire game, trailing by 18-9 at the half, 25-12 at the quarter, and ending with the score of 33-14. George Worst outscored the South team by one point as he dumped in 15. ' UNION- Undefeated in city league play, and tied with the Eagles for top standing, the Union Red Hawks took their first lick- ing in a thriller played at their Dillingham gym. The packed crowd went wild as the Eagles piled up a 15-8 margin at the half, lost a little of it at the quarter by 19-14, and finally roared to a decisive, amazing final score of 35-17, taking the lead in city standings. George Worst sweated out 17 tallies. TECH-The Wild- kittens from Tech tried hard but just weren't able to match the top-flight playing of the Eagles, who scented a city championship. Christian held a very comfortable 21-4 advantage at the half, held it by 34-17 at the quarter, and finally romped to another triumph by 40-26, thus settling an old score from last year. George Worst was strictly on the beam and netted 23 points. OTTAWA-This second trial between the Eagles and the Tribe resulted much the same as the first. Christian hammered out a 15-8 lead at the half, but the Red- men took the warpath in the last, toma- hawking their way from a 24-10 score in the third to an almost dangerous 28-24 final tally. Ottawa's Iamo took top scoring honors with 10 points while George Worst had 9. HOLLAND-The Maroons took another long-deserved drubbing the second time they challenged the Eagles. The boys from Holland grabbed the first baskets, but at the intermission the scoreboard said 13-10 in favor of Christian. This margin was lengthened to 20-14 in the third and still further increased to a final tally of 26-18, in spite of the unusual scrappy brand of ball put up by Holland. Vander Molen was top man with 12 points. CATHOLIC-The Eagles copped their eleventh win in taking the Catholic Cougars to the cleaners for the second time. In the 'first quarter scoring was evenly divided, but by the time the half rolled around Christian held a fat 23-13 advantage. They lengthened it to 33-18 in the third, and emerged victorious by 41-29 in spite of a belated rally by the Cougars. Vander Molen was high scorer with 13 points. CRESTON--Inspired Polar Bears from Creston knocked Christian from its pedes- tal and handed it the only city league defeat. The Bears plunged to an early lead, but the Eagles bounced back and tied the score at 12-all at the intermission. Again in the third Creston chalked up a lead by 17-14. The Eagles put up a battle royal in the last stanza, and the score was even-up at 20-20 with less than 3 minutes left when the Bears connected twice and sewed up the ball game. Vander Klip and Miller of Creston, and Ioe Worst scored B points each. CENTRAL-The Eagles had some diffi- culty in smoothing their ruffled feathers after the Creston game, but they finally succeeded in humbling Central after be- ing on the short end during most of the game, trailing by 13-10 at the half, and 21-20 at the quarter. In the last canto they started cooking and sizzled to a 35-30 victory. Afendoulis of Central led the field with ll points, while Vander Molen fol- lowed with 9. SOUTH-The steam-roller effect was used on the South Trojans again as the Eagles got back in the groove. The count stood 11-B at the half-way mark, rolled on to 27-ll in the third, and ended triumphantly at 37-23 in favor of the right team. George Worst was back in stride again and accounted for 20 points. UNION-The Eagles had done it before and they succeeded in doing it again by a very neat margin when Union disputed the city championship question. Both teams got off to fighting starts as the Hawks grabbed the lead at the half by 15-14. Then the tide of battle turned and the Eagles hammered out a 24-21 edge in the third quarter. The deciding canto showed the Eagles displaying a smoking brand of ball as they hit the bucket from all possible angles and some impossible ones, roaring to a 42-29 blaze of glory. George Worst scored a total of 22 points. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT ALLEGAN-District tournament play be- gan with a bout with Allegan. The Eagles swarmed all over Allegan to the tune of 19-8 in the first half, but after the inter- mission the Alleganites hauled up their heavy artillery and blasted out a 23-23 tie at the quarter. Then it was Christian's turn again and they rolled up a 37-30 decision. George Worst took top with 14 points. EAST-One of the highest scores of the season was that chalked up against the East High Pioneers. Both teams hit the basket fairly accurately, but the Eagles held a 21-15 margin at the half-way mark. The Eagles chalked up baskets with add- ing machine regularity as they forged a 38-23 quarter time score, and wound up on the long end of a 52-37 final, in spite of an eleventh-hour rally by the Pioneers. George Worst netted 20 points, while Ioe collected 17 from a guard position. GRAND HAVEN-A double triumph was staged by the Eagles in the second match with Grand Haven's Buccaneers, although it was the Eagles' iourth game in five days. They avenged an early season de- feat and won district title. In the first half they ran up a 22-14 margin, which proved to have won the game, as the Buccaneers narrowed it to 29-24 at the quarter, but failed to overcome it to win, although they came Within one basket of it as the final score stood 35-33. REGIONAL TOURNAMENT FREMONT-The Fremont Packers put up a stiff fight, but were unable to match the sweeping play of the Eagles, who put up a 24-13 lead in the 'first half. Fremont gained slowly in the third, holding a score of 32-23 at the quarter, but failed to con- quer the Eagles as the finals stood 42-35. Ioe Worst led with a total of 14 points. IONIA- Christian completely slaughtered the lonians by the highest score of the season to take another regional title. The Eagles breezed to a plump 34-10 half time margin, and continued to pull ahead through the entire game, leading by 44-15 in the third, and ending with an almost all-substitute team, and a lopsided tally of 55-24, leaving no doubt as to the regional champs. George Worst topped the scoring with 22 points. NILES-The Niles Vikings were a tough opponent, and put up a fierce battle, but finally succumbed to the Eagles. The Vikings whipped out an early lead but Christian led at the half-time by 28-17. The Vikings came back fighting in the third, and whittled the lead down to 37-34, and outplayed the Eagles again in the final canto, but fell just short of winning, as the final tally was 42-40 in favor of Christian. Vander Molen was on the beam with 21 points. TRAVERSE CITY-Iust when things were beginning to look bright, the Traverse City Trojans spoiled everything in the semi- finals at Lansing. The Eagles just weren't clicking, and showed a long departure trom their usual first-rate brand ot ball. Traverse led off by taking an 8-4 lead in the starting quarter, and holding it 14-11 at the half-way mark. The Eagles were outplayed again after the half, trailing by 26-19 at the quarter. The Trojans stalled in the final stanza and came out on top 31-24, settling Christian's hope for the sea- son. George Worst was highpoint man with 14 points to his credit. THE EAGLES' FLIGHT The Christian High School Eagles Took the season in their stride, So it's not a bit surprising If they show a hit ot pride. Twice each team upon the schedule, CExcept Creston's Polar Bears,J Was defeated in its order,- On our own lloor, and on theirs. From the South came mighty Trojans, And from Tech the Wildcats came, Ottawa sent tribes of lndians,- But they left without their game. Central's boys came from their Hill top, Cougars bold from Cath'lic High, And, in Union suits, the Bed Hawks Swooped, with battle in their eye. Now when Hawks and Eagles tangle, Feathers tly, and when it's o'er Hawks will have to sit and wonder lust what makes the Eagles soar. In the district, with the B Schools Allegan, Grand Haven, East And in further region combat More strong teams, to say the least. Fremont first and then lonia, Put the trophy in our hands. Niles was the 'first encountered From the district hinterlands. With these scalps in their possession Giving neither ground nor pity Had to give the palm of vict'ry To the lads from Traverse City. We are met to do them honor, Giving credit when it's due, To a bunch ot husky Dutchmen I salute them-Wooden Shoe?
