As we read about these ieats oi siciii and en- durance we cannot heip hut come to the conciusion that yentures oi this kind, cannot be accompiished on a moment' s notice or on an impuise hut instead they need careiui consid- eration and months, yes, sometimes years oi preparation. in order to be reasonabiy certain oi success it is wise among many things to he acquainted with the terrain to he trayeied upon, acquire the necessary equipment and provisions, but most important to empioy a guide who is experienced and can be trusted to iead under any circumstance which might arise. in ciimhing iiie' s mountain our needs are not uniiice the mountain ciimhers oi today. We aiso need the right preparations and equipment ii we are going to reach our goai,hut above aii we need guidance in that goal. Nhat a priyiiege it is ior God's chiidren to have a Guide who wiii iead us irom the yefy beginning oi our iiie to the highest goai to he at- tained, nameiy to iiie etegnai. Ciass oi i9'71i, it is your board' s sincere desire that you coiiectryeiy and indiyiduaiiy may choose your coyenant God as your Guide on iiie's pathway. Y or this God is our God ioreyer and eyerz iie wiii guide us eyen unto death. Psaims lx8:i15.

As we Seniors, the class of 1954, stand on the threshhold of a new period of our lives, we pause for a moment to look back over our past. In the year of 1950 as humble freshmen, we entered the halls of Lynden Christian High. under the leadership of Mr. De Jong. We soon became acfguainted with the life of a High school student. The Mixer made us feel at home but we still had new experiences such as examinations and a new study routine. But we did have fun that year. The next year, 1951, we were sophmores. And how big we felt! For we realized that we were no longer the youngest class in school. As the year went by our bigness vanished for we were still only underclassmen. We were kept in check and guided by our homeroom teachers, Mr. Engbers and Miss Shoemaker. The next September of 1952, we returned to find ourselves as upperclassman. Then we did feel big, only there were still those Seniors, but they didn't worry us, or did they? We got along with them as best as we could. That was an important year in our career, for we had the privilege of giving the Junior-Senior banquet. We all worked hard with Mr. De Boer, our homeroom teacher, to make it a success. We also received our class rings. How proud we were of them, even though some found their way to one of the opposite sex. Finally after our vacation, we entered the halls of Lynden Christian, as mature Seniors, rulers of everyone with the exception of the teachers. These last nine months of our career in school were filled with fun, worries, and achievements. Many of our members, brought glory to our class. One of our members won first place in the Voice of Democracy con- test, in Bellingham. Others brought honor in debating, sports, dramatics, and in various clubs. The closing months of school were filled with fun such as our class party and Senior Outing. And then that final grnad closure of ourhighschool career, GRADUATION and we are now ready to take our stand in the world. ' As we look back over our past, we thanked God that He has spared us throughout these four years and pray and trust that God will keep us and lead us through the days that lie ahead. Now, as we leave to face the world, we as Seniors of 1954 bid- farewell to the halls of Lynden Christian High. 4'-new-an-anw4P am jqr.-Sr. Banquet ,,,ar -FK ,U . 2 , Aix' 1445? 7? f W Huff!!!

A Q QMS J I ,ff I ff l uflfllw 41 -4- ACTIVITIES In our climb for higher heights there are activities in which we engage. NX-xnxx Our chapel service is one of the most important of these. Our chapel ser- xx... vices and choruses give us opportunity to glorify God in the singing of His praises and the hearing of His word. Talents among the climbers can also be displayed in such activities as debate and the paper and annual staff. - Many of our activities give us an opportunity for rest and meditation as every climber must have.

It is found in our weekly chapel service. The whole student body and faculty gathers for singing and hearing a short message. The students take part by leading the singing, rendering a special number and reading a portion of scrip- ture. Our message and prayer is given by a faculty member or an outside guest. This hour a week is certainly inspir- ing. It gives us new ideals for our Christian life and pro- vides an opportunity to praise our Almighty God and won- derful Savior. Mrs J.

In the picture above the debaters are looking at the trophy they received for taking First place in the District Tournament. The winning of this enables them to go on to the State Tournament at Pullman. Each year they also enter a three day tournament sponsored by the College of Puget Sound. Mr. Marion Snapper has been the efficient coach of the debaters.

So, we, too, do many things beside our studying and school activities. In the following pages you can get a glimpse of many of these enjoyable moments. Some of these snaps portray life during the summer months, or ' little incidents that occur at school--often outside the classrooms. As students we are thankful that we may enjoy Christian companion- L ship with each other.
