EE I :nts Ol'lZW0l' ....a kaleidoscope of activities and people end places and memories and endless planning meetings and conferences and decorations and the inevitable stumplng questions of the quiz masters a kaleidoscope of colorful ingredients and personalities bits and traces of memories and half- forgotten names of acquaintances at rallies across the club room or seated nearby or cheering at a qulz or playing hard but not hard enough ln the class sessions shifting shining changing teenagers who leave and come and go and kids you never meet and some you'll never forget this is youth for christ perhaps only a part of lt things we remember and treasure and at times ignore and formals and dinner jackets and candles and food and people always rehearsing for something and someone's new car and class rings and fads and the date that fell through and the skit that flopped and not enough time for anything especially sleep and the constant battle with grades and the almost failure and the honor roll a time for laughs but always time for a good old-fashioned prayer meeting we Came in new to it all and expressed our thoughts and our ideas and saw them shattered upon the reality of christ's image changed into the pattern of his love his compassion and his dedication we have been willing to be crushed jade to be ground glass or even brushed aside so that as paul we might win some

D ciication Like sparkling rays of light from a priceless gem comes the prayers and love Of 6 mother's heart. Upon each of them comes the challenge of a Kaleidoscope of demands and interest. And with each challenge a need is met for everyone of us. As teen-agers we have known the over-powering pull of their royal loveg sensed the tenderness of their affectiong blushed at the evidence of their prideg shuddered at the impact of their seldom given discipline...only to see it erased once again by a seeming failure of frustration in meeting our demands. They have skimped and saved to purchase that too expensive formal for the Spring Banquetg prayed with mingled emotion as we took our driving test..and passedg gave encouragement as we practiced our trumpet hours upon hours for the talent contestg cried softly as we marched across the platform at graduation to receive our diploma. This is mother. without her, high school wouldn't be the same. Thus we have chosen two mothers...equal in their dedication to Christ and their children. To Vidy Metsker for eighteen years of marriage to Youth for Christ through its trouble and its triumphsg to Leona Hocklander for eight years of service in the daily giving of her time in the office to win Youth for Christ. To both of these...and to the thousands they represent...we humbly dedicate this Kaleidoscope of memories...the i962 CONQUEROR.
