O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Be Thou our guide while life shall loft, Anal our eternal home. + Theme One hundred years ago our fathers, struggling through the virgin forest to the shores of Lake Macatawa, determined that here should rise their city. We have entered into their heritage, and we appreciate their efforts to establish a Christian colony. Not all their footprints are clear, nor do all lead in the right directions. They too groped about searching for greater light and happiness, but we can profit by their experiences, and for the most part can safely follow in their footsteps. We would 'dedicate ourselves to the highest ideals that moved them and build on in courage and faith on the foundation they have laid. With God as our Guide, we shall go forward unfalteringly in the footprints of the pioneers. 'k 'A' 'A' ir i' 'A' 'A' 'k 'k t 'A' ir 4

FOOTPRINTS OF THE PAST On a snowy january morning in 1847, a little group of people knelt on the shore of Lake Macatawa. They gave humble thanks to God who had led them through the difficult years of persecution in their homeland, and now had shown them the spot in which their new homes must be built and life begun anew in this land of promise. Homes were founded and churches erected throughout the course of those trying years of colonization. How- ever, the greatest desire of these Dutch colonists had not yet been fulfilled - they longed for Christian education for their children, In 1902 a Chris- tian grade school was begun and in 1923 the Christian high school had its origin. Now in the year 1947, we pause to consider what marvelous results these struggles and sacrifices of the pioneers have achieved with the help of God. Plans are being made to build a new school building in order to accommodate the increase in enrollment. This century has been one of progress and growth. What will the next century hold? XVe, the class of '47, pledge ourselves to the ideals of Van Raalte and his followers. f F , ,NX 4' f f' I' e- K ff Z ' X , ,. 1 'W' 1'i - king X .2 . ,H .N 11, Hr ' .
