Friendship is costly! Not in dollars and cents. The Prodigal son found out you cannot buy true friends. It’s costly in feelings; in emotions; in the spending of self for a friend. You know how lovely and secure you feel with your friend as you share your deepest secrets. You also know how horribly alone you feel when your friend rejects you or betrays your trust. Suddenly that warm, secure feeling you had yesterday is shattered You feel nothing will ever be the same between you and your friend again. Even so, with all its risks and sometimes its cruel hurts, friends and friendship are gifts from God. Scripture is filled with wonderful examples of beautiful friendships. Scripture is also filled with the most woeful examples of friends betrayed. I Samuel 20 records the beautiful friendship of David and Jonathon when they were young folks. They swore an oath to be, “Forever Friends ”. This same David, in Psalm 41 speaks from a broken heart about a friend who once shared bread-with him, had now turned against him. ‘ Job's friends turned out to be sorry comforters just when he needed them the most. Proverbs 18:24 speaks of “‘a friend that sticks closer than a brother”. Isn’t that something? Good as these examples are, there is a better one. A friend of whom it can be said without any exceptions, “Forever Friends”. His name is Jesus Christ. His friends, who said they were His “Forever Friends” left Him. Even God did! But you know why, don’t you? You have heard it many times at Lynden Christian. God forsaken and friend forsaken so that you and I might be His Friend Forever! Matthew 28:20 records Christ’s promise just before He left this earth — I will be with you (Mary, Kristy, John, Henry, Gerrit, Joan) always, to the very end of the age. I, along with all your teachers, parents, and many others pray that each one of you know Him as your Savior and “Forever Friend”. Nothing or no one is more important than that. i Shalom in Christ, Ben H. Boxum Superintendent 44 1. Mr. Leonard Stob poses for yet another annual picture. 2.

Cross Country 57 58 Volleyball The JV volleyball team had an excellent ’84 season. With a 14-2 overall record, the team shone above the rest. They played as a com- plete unit on the floor, using their heads and the talent God gave them to the best of their ability. It was a fun and challenging season for LC, and one of the high- lights of it was when the en- tire team (JV and varsity coaches), picked up and moved a Honda civic car so our bus could leave. We’re tough and I’m proud, Coach Rinsema. The 1984-5 varsity volley- ball season began with six returning seniors and three juniors, who had seen some varsity action in the preced- ing season. Our hope was high for a winning season. After a pre-season split of 2 wins and 2 losses, we en- tered league play with con- tinued optimism for a 500 or better season. Special fea- tures of the season included a trip to Friday Harbor with a quick lesson in catching busses and ferries, and our hosting a tour team from Victoria, B.C. Though the calibre of our play was var- ied, our league opponants proved to be consistently of a higher calibre. It was espe- cially noteworthy that our league provided the Ist, 3rd, and Sth place teams in the state. i VARSITY “VOLLEYBALL back row: Trainer Mr. Vera, Coach Mr. Rinsema, Statistician Karen Vander Veen, Robin Van Den Berg, Sheri Burns, Lisa Westra, Manager Julie Maarhuis, Statisti- cian Tami Haan, Assistant Coach Juli Reinsma, front row: Kara Vander Haak, Melinda Mellema, Brenda Timmer, Lisa Anderson, Laurie Anderson, Sharla Van Hof- wegen, Stacy Starkenburg 2.

With plenty of returning sopho- mores their hopes were high as the season began, but many of these sophomores were moved up to varsity. The JV’s had to gain some fast experience and they played hard against the more experienced teams. This year’s efforts should help the future varsity Lyncs. The Lyncs failed in their ef- forts for a “winning season” (2-7) but succeeded in their efforts to play with ‘“‘Chris- tian class.” They won the Sportsmanship Award for Whatcom County. Tim Van Lohuizen and Dave Zylstra made All League Ist team while Kevin Kaemingk and Lee Beld made 2nd team. A lot of happy memories mixed with tears made the season a time to remember.

Football Girls’ Basketball This year the girl’s JV bas- ketball team felt the thrill of victories and the agony of only one defeat! The season record wasn’t too shabby if that’s all you’re interested in. But there was more to it than that. Behind the record lies the real thing-the girls kept the ball bouncing. Many hours and a lot of en- ergy was put out. Besides physical energy, a lot of emotional energy was need- ed. After their first loss they knew they had a long road to travel and it wouldn’t be an easy one. But in every way possible the girls stuck together and earned their record. Memories were gained, relationships built, and God was given the glo- ry. It was a great year! The varsity Lady Lyncs fin- ished the regular season with a 19-1 record and cap- tured their sixth straight Watcom County League ti- tle. The Lyncs came into district and were knocked off by Mt. Baker in a semi- final game. With real to- getherness and tough play, they battled on to capture third place and make their eighth consecutive appear- ance at state. The Lady Lyncs placed sixth in Taco- ma after defeating Newport and Mt. Baker and losing to the eventual State champi- on CleElum and also to Fos- ter. The Lyncs graduated a lot of valuable talent in six seniors, but with lots of young talent coming up, we can look forward to next season. 1.

Girls’ Basketball 63 Basketball Boys’ After finishing second in the league last year, the JV Lyncs once again won the JV title this year (third first place finish in the last four years!). Highlights of the year were an overtime win over Kings and a double Overtime win over Lynden. Injuries became a_ factor late in the season, but the Lyncs had the depth to com- pensate for it in most of their games. Playing a pressing, running style of basketball, the JV Lyncs were often an exciting team to watch. A talented group of underclassmen should provide some fine varsity teams in the future. Defending a_ third place state tournament finish is never an easy task. It is even more difficult with only one experienced player return- ing and the tallest player be- ing only 6’2”. The varsity Lyncs consistently played against taller teams. They lost their share of games and the last week of the season were eliminated from post- season play. But the Lyncs fought hard with 6 of their league’s games being decid- ed by fewer than 8 points. Perhaps the highlight of the season was a win over sec- ond place league finisher, Meridian, who eventually went on to state. Thanks, Lyncs, for never giving up!

Boys’ Basketball Wake The boys’ track team did not have to apologize for its efforts and results in the 1985 track season. Still a young squad, we only lost three seniors to graduation. We had hopes of sending a 1600 relay team to state this year after coming so close the last three years, but 1985 proved to be the third “almost” year for the relay. We came up a few seconds short at the District meet after shifting personnel in the relay several times dur- ing the year. Tim Van Lo- huizen performed well in the throwing events as a senior, and Lee Beld in the discus. Kevin Mellema, distance runner, was the other senior who scored many points for us. Keith Vander Griend, junior, was awarded the Trackman of the Year tro- phy, having accumulated 199 points during the sea- son.

After struggling early, the Lady Lyncs began a second half of the season surge. After going 2-3 in the first round of league play, the Lyncs swept through the second round with a 5-0 mark. A seventh inning, 3-2 win over Lynden was a cru- cial turning point. The Lyncs then tied for the league title by beating the then first place Mt. Baker Mountaineers at their field. The Lady Lyncs went on to win the District title by de- feating South Whidbey, Lynden (9-0 this time), and Darrington in the cham- pionship game. They there- by earned their first trip ever to the state tournament in Spokane. They won their first game against North Mason with a seventh inning rally. But they then ran into the 3-time state champs, Royal City girls, and al- though they played their best defensive game of the year, it wasn’t quite enough. The Lady Lyncs will gra- duate 4 valuable seniors, Laurie Anderson, Melinda Mellema, Cheryl Eskes, and Leneen Lankhaar, all of whom will be missed next year as the Lyncs try to re- peat and improve on this year’s performance. ee eet I 6 8 m .

Softball Baseball Under new coach, Mr. Vera, the JV baseball team had its second best season within the last eight years. This year’s team under the leadership. of sophomore Kevin Stuit posted a 9-9-] record for the season. The Lynes. ended “up Ges mn league play, which was good for a third place tie with Mt. Baker. The ’85 Lyncs con- sisted of 12 other freshmen. Scott Tjoelker was named MVP and Joel Rinsema was named the Most Improved Player. The 1985 Lyncs learned and matured quick- ly throughout the season. Next year the JV baseball team will be one of the toughest teams in the What- com County League. sass After a slow start that re- vealed a very youthful ball club, the Lynes played very competitively. Finishing fourth in the Whatcom County League, the Lyncs . just missed going to the “ .. playoffs by one spot. Brian De Zeeuw and Tad Vander Griend led the mound corps. Captain Kevin Kaemingk, the Whatcom County League’s leading hitter, made the all-conference and all-regional all-star teams. Good job Lyncs! 1.

The 15 ju- niors and seniors worked hard throughout the year, meeting the challenges head-on and having a good time doing it. They tried many new things In- cluding write-ups by coaches, advisors, and club members, a promotional tape (remember “Harry Knuckles and his Won- der Dog, Vivian?”’), and a new type of page layout. They also went on several field trips to their unofficial office - the lo- cal Dairy Queen! The entire staff strove to make this the best yearbook ever and they hope that everyone enjoys it as much as they did! 1.

Y-pnia; strove to come up with unique and newsworthy arti- cles, ranging from an excit- ing Frosh Jr. Twirp Date write-up to several contro- versial issues. Many new things took place also. Mr. Ypma, along with 9 staffers, attended the April 11-13 National Spring Journalism Education Association Con- vention in Seattle. It was an adventurous and fun-filled weekend spent at the down- town Sheraton Hotel. Re- porter Kathy Cobb received a second place award in a creative writing contest. It was hosted by the Washing- ton Press Association and held in the Bellevue Hilten Hotel. The HiLite also re- ceived high honors (rating 900 points out of a possible a 1000) for several publica- a tions judged by the Ameri- can Scholastic Press Associ- ation. The staff, made up of juniors and seniors, man- aged to meet the majority of their deadlines, putting out the 9 issues on time for the , “s, reading pleasure of many. 4 Throughout the school year, wf elise the staffers became closer to _ each other and also with the ASB and faculty, making the year a fun, yet learning experience! 1.

We had our traditional fruit- cake sale to raise money for our annual trip to Leaven- worth. This trip was not only educational, but also a lot of fun. There were many inter- esting people and things to see and plenty of snow! Later on in May they took what was left of our “‘fruit- cake fund” (money) and went to a German restau- rant in Canada. The seniors had an interesting year, to say the least, and the juniors did too! Thanks Fraulein Ruiter for a great year! 1.

Various committees were set up for the different ac- tivities and business of the Torch Club. Fund-raising was a main concern this year for the Torch Club. The sale of donuts in the student lounge by Joel, Becky and Keith raised over $200 for the treasury. This money was used for the Torch Club Banquet which was held on the evening of May 28, 1985. The banquet was ar- ranged by Renee’ Postma who did a wonderful job. The even- ing was emceed by Joel Brouwer and special music was presented by Joan Tiemersma. The highlight of the evening was the awards: English - Re- nee Henken, HiLite - Curt Ypma, Yearbook - Kristi Se- bens, Spanish - Jacob Steiger and Lori Van Beek, Science - Jacob Steiger, Athletic Scholar - Jacob Steiger, Engineering and Math - Craig Huizenga, Drama - Lee Beld, Paul Hol- lander, Gina Bajema, Kristi Se- bens, and Joan Tiemersma.

A new ex- perience this year, home- room chapels, turned out to be very rewarding and even a lot of fun!

Spring Luncheon 97 Musical In 1985, the stage was set for “The King and I.” The four perfor- mances, held on March 14, 15, 21 and 22, included a couple of sell- outs. The musical portrayed the clash that occurs when two very different cultures meet head-on. It relates the experiences of a wi- dowed English school teacher who went to Siam in the 1860's to teach the children of the King. She and her son had many things to learn as well as teach in this foreign land. As this was Mr. Vander Pol’s last musical, it held a lot of sentimental value for a lot of people.

On November 22 and 23, our classmates and friends threw away their everyday selves and became hilarious patients in a mental home. As the story unfolds, the patients are found awaiting the arrival of a new member, Mrs. Savage. Re- cently widowed and the heir to a large estate, she becomes the envy of her three children who wish to inherit the money themselves. However, Mrs. Savage has other plans and proceeds to give the mon- ey away Ina rather curious manner. The play ends with the three chil- dren appearing to be the ones need- ing to be committed and the pa- tients perfectly normal. A big thank you to Mr. Vander Pol for all of his patience with us.

The chapel was beautifully decorated with stars, balloons, and streamers in pink and blue. The mothers served a deli- cious dinner. Afterwards, everyone settled back to en- Joy the highlight of the evening, Ken Miedema. For several years the juniors have tried to schedule Ken as the entertainment and It was well worth the wait!

Jr. Sr. Banquet 101] 102 Senior Trip Early Tuesday morning, May 21, the Senior class boarded two chartered bus- es for a day of fun and ex- citement in Seattle. After a two-hour bus ride, we were ready to get out and see the city! The Seattle Center was our first stop, and after see- ing the IMAX film ““Speed,”’ we were on our own for the next few hours. Some toured the Science Center, while others walked around the Food Fair, or went up the Space Needle. Somehow we all made it down to Pike Street Market via the Monorail. We then went on a tour of the harbor and through the Seattle Aquarium. Our buses were waiting outside the aquar- jum and rushed us over to Pizza and Pipes where we all porked out on pop and pizza. Our final event of the day was the Mariners vs. Yankees game. The Mari- ners lost, but we had a good time anyway. After a long, fun-filled day together, the class of 1985 headed back to Lynden. We'd like to thank Mr. Vander Haak and Mr. Van Hulzen for all the time spent organizing this memo- rable day for us. Thanks for making it possible! 1. Unbelievable!! 2. Everyone was ready to wait patiently for the har- bor cruise after an afternoon on the waterfront. 3. The Seattle Aquar- jum was just one of the many high- lights of the day. 4. The people at the market were just as interesting as the sea creatures in the aquar- ium! The final chapel of the year was once again held in rec- ognition of the Seniors. It was a special time for all of us as the class officers shared their thoughts and feelings. A poem was read and the Senior choir sang “More Than a Song.”’ Fol- lowing chapel, tradition was held as the namecards were placed in the ground, per- manently becoming a part of our school’s history. Many tears were shed as the school song was sung for the final time this year and sad good-byes were said to the underclassmen. Thank you everyone for many special memories! 1. The Seniors join heart and voice in the final chapel of 1985. 2. The tradition of namecards will always be treasured. 3. Stacy drops her card along with the other Seniors of 1985. 103 Bacca- laureate Sunday, June 2, 1985 at 2:00 pune in Vihe YP hird Christian Reformed Church, Senior Baccalaure- ate was held. Rev. Dick Vriesman gave the Bacca- laureate address, ‘“‘Lord, We Are Friends Forever.”’ Then the Senior choir sang ‘‘More Than a Song”. Graduation began to seem like more of a reality. Friday, June 7, 1985 was probably the craziest day, emotionally, for Seniors, as twelve years came to a close on graduation night. The Seniors chose red and white for their class colors and their motto was “‘Lord, We Are Friends Forever”. Ja- mie Sipma, the class speak- er, commented ona few past memories, extende d thank- you's, and encouraged her fellow classmates in regards to the future. That night some final good-byes were said but we can still say: Lord, we are friends forever. 1. The Senior choir sang at Bacca- laureate. 2. Rev. Gerrit Sheeres led the congregation in prayer. 3. Hap- py Birthday, Tim! 4. Too bad it’s only baccalaureate. 5. Memories were brought back, as Jamie deliv- ered the class speech. 6. Jamie’s speech reminded the class of Ke- vin’s “hot romance” with Karen! 7. A_ once-in-a-lifetime moment. 8. Future plans were read by Pat and Tim. 9. John’s got double-trouble on grad. night. 10.

Somehow being the annual edi- tor has pulled it all together. As my staff and I collected pictures and ideas for this year’s annual, many memories came back to me. Some were irrelevant and some will not soon be forgotten. It’s my hope that this annual will capture some of those memories for you, too. To the Seniors of 1985, we’ve had an unforgettable year and some great times! I wish you the best! No matter which way the Lord may lead each one of us, nothing can erase the memories of the things we have shared together as a class. These memories will last for- ever because “‘friends are friends forever!” To the underclassmen, take full advantage of your high school years; they only happen once. Get involved and learn to know a lot of different people. Each one is special! Finally, I'd like to thank all of those who helped make this annual possible: To Mr. Hof who put up with me all year long - especially my dumb questions! I couldn’t have done it without him; to Joyce who willingly did so many things for my staff and I; to Donette’s for all they did; to all of the stu- dents and teachers who helped with the little things; to my en- tire staff who worked hard even when they didn’t feel like it; and most of all to Mike, Gina, and Jana who were my sound- ing boards when things didn’t go right and who worked hard so that things worked out! Thank you everyone! May God Bless You All!
