7fze Beam! of '7fm4,Z'ee4 The Board of Trustees, a very essential part of our Christian High School, is often taken for granted and more often forgotten entirely. It is not as closely attached to us as our teacher, principal, or superintendent. In accordance with the high standards of our school, this Board obtains for us Christian teachers, who lead us into the paths of wisdom. As the ruling body of our school, it keeps our education on a high level, lead- ing us to the goal which is set before us. We should remember them in their responsible work and ever be thankful to God for giving us these Christian leaders to direct our school. Seated: M. J. Tinholt, T. Hoeksema, Rev. -I, Voskuil, Rev. O.

BS BIA, Ed,D at School of Education WW DR. BERT P. BOS of New York University Superintendent To the Class of 1949: Hearty congratulations to each one of you upon your graduation from Holland Christian High School. Farewell students-welcome to the ranks of the Alumni Associa- tion! Four years ago graduation from high school must have seemed to be a distant dream which would never come to reality. However, the years passed swiftly and you are now on the threshold of a new phase of life. As you start out again, I would like to call your attention to a wonderful passage from God's revelation to us which is found in the sixth verse of Proverbs 3: In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct thy paths. This word of the Lord includes both a command and a promise: a command to ac- knowledge God in all our ways and a promise that He will direct our paths. First of all, we must acknowledge Him within our hearts as our Creator, our Benefactor, our Father through Christ jesus our Lord. Then we shall not find it difficult to recognize Him in all our undertakings. As young people you will have serious choices to make in life concerning your vocations, your friends and your partners for life. We must desire to do what is right and pleasing in God's sight for only that will receive the divine blessing. Of course, He does not promise that He will make us prosperous or that He will exempt us from trial and tribulation but, since He assures us that He will direct our paths, we know that all will be well. May the words of this passage from Scripture be a challenge to each one of you as you journey through this life. God bless you and keep you close to Him always. Cordially yours, BERT P. Bos, Superintendent. llll
