CUHSECHHTIUH IUEEH The week of November 14th, through the 18th, was set aside for our Consecration week services. Reverend Chester Meengs, the pastor ofa large Reformed church in Kalamazoo, Michigan, was our guest speaker. Each morning during the chapel period which were lengthened to 45 minutes, he spoke on topics concerning the student's christian life. Prayer meetings were held on Monday and Thursday evening which were conducted by Rev. Meengs. Also, he met with the Y cabinets, Christian Service club and with the various classes. He also was available, to anyone, for a private conference. Every student gained some profit by hearing Rev. Meengs and were brought into a closer walk with God. 70

WELL, HERE IT IS JUST ABOUT AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR AND ANOTHER ANNUAL TOO. THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS T0 BE REMEMBERED THIS YEAR. FIRST WE HAD BETTER MENTION THE SNIARB IBRAINS SPELLED BACKWARDI- DICK ANDERSON AND SQUEAK DYKSTRA HAD BEAUTIFUL ONES AND STAN VANDE AARDEIS WASN'T BAD EITHER. REMEMBER DAVE VAN CITTER AND JIM KEMPEMA ALWAYS FOREVER LOOKING FOR THEIR BOOKS. JAMES AEILTS, HOWARD RODUNZ, MYRNA BELTMAN ALWAYS WITH A READY SMILE. HARRIS VAN OORT AND DAVE DUISTEMEYERS NEVER DID LEARN WHAT THE SIGN THAT WAS SPELLED L-A-D-I-E-S L-O-U-N-G-E MEANT. HAROLD KORVER ALWAYS LAUGHING-LAUGHING-LAUGHING AROUND THE HALLS. RINEY AND DEWIT MATCHING SKILLS AND WITS AT THE PING PONG TABLE. GRACE ROZENBOOMIS RED HAIR RIVALLING JOHN HUMMEIS UNTIL SHE QUIT AT THE SEMESTER. BERNIE HEITBRINK AND DAVE THE UNDISPUTED OWNERS OF BUTCH HAIR-CUTS. I DONIT THINK WE SHALL FORGET FENITA HARMELINKIS AND BETTY TESKEIS PIANO PLAYING. DUANE BUTTENOB JUST HATES TO HAVE MICE RUN ACROSS HIS FACE. HE IS STILL LOOKING FOR A GOOD GRAVY RECIPE TOO. RUDY VAN DRIE KNOWN AS NWHIZH IN GERMAN CLASS. HE TOOK HIS LITTLE FRIEND TO CLASS WITH HIM ONE DAY TOO T0 MEET MRS. STEGEMAN. BY THE BY, A STATEMENT IN LAST YEAR'S ANNUAL STILL SEEMS TO EXPRESS THE SENTIMENT OF THE STUDENTS. HTHERE WERE ALWAYS TWO KINDS OF DAYS HERE AT NJC--DAYS THERE WAS NO GERMAN CLASS AND DAYS THERE WAS GERMAN CLASSH. REMEMBER RUDYIS ORANGE AND BLUE CAR? NEVER HAD ANY GAS, ALWAYS WENT SOMEPLACE ELSE WHEN HE LEFT IT PARKED, AND SOMETIMES CRACKED ITS' BLOCK. PAUL VANDER WOUDE, FRUSTRATED SINGER AND ACTOR, FINALLY EXPRESSED HIS TRUE PERSONALITY BY BUYING A RED AND WHITE POLKA-DOTTED MODEL-T. IT WORKED TOO, DIDNIT HAVE A WINDOW SHIELD-WIPER LIKE DAVEIS HBLUE GOOSEH OR A BURRO-METER LIKE HOWARD BRINKHAUSIS PONTIAC THOUGH. BOB SPAAN CONTINUED TO EXPRESS HIMSELF BY LOOKING AND ACTING LIKE A MONKEY. HE WAS BETTER KNOWN AS NMIGHTY JOE YOUNGH. NO ONE WILL FORGET BOMBO IHIS TECHNICAL NAME WAS ALVIN DYKSTRA, AND HIS FOOTBALL KNEES DURING FOOTBALL SEASON. BEVERLY HEUSINKVELD, MAXINE VANDER WAA AND RACHEL REINDERS WERE so BECOMING THIS YEAR IN THEIR DIAMONDS EVEN IF THEY WERE ONLY PART OWNERS. POOR ANONA RENSINK WAS THE ONLY SOPHOMORE IN THE DORM--wITH ALL THOSE FRESHMEN--SHE NEVER LET IT GET HER DOWN THOUGH. ONE OF HARV VAN ROOYENIS BETTER TRICKS WAS TO BRING THE TEACHER A CUP OF COFFEE TO CLASS SO THAT THEY WOULDNIT HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY TO THE HSTORCHIEH OR TO TOWN. SEEMED T0 HELP, TOO ITHE TEACHER THAT ISI. CORNIE KEUNEN WAS KNOWN FOR HIS UNCONTROLABLE URGES TO TELL A JOKE. IT GOT so BAD THAT HE HAD TO GO OUT OF THE ROOM INTO THE HALL FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN RETURN AS SOON AS IT WAS OUT OF HIS SYSTEM. SIGHI SIGHI I JUST HAPPENED TO THINK OF JIM FONG AND HIS SHIRTS! THEY ARE so--SO--SO EXPRES- SIVE. RINEY AND TED AND EDDIE HAD SOME PRETTY ONES TOO, BUT SOMEHOW THEY DIDN'T'HAVE THAT ADULT AIR OF DISTINCTION. IYETI THELMA INTVELD AND ARNIE MENNING MADE SUCH A CUTE COUPLE AND ALL YEAR TOO. THEY WERE NOTED THE NICEST COUPLE ON THE CAMPUS IN ONE ISSUE OF THE BEACON. DOUGLAS OSTLUND AND NORMAN BASTEMEYER WERE TWO PEOPLE WHO COULD REALLY TALK AND DID TOO. MARTIN DEKKENGA HAD THE BEST LOOKING BICYCLE IN SCHOOL TILL PROF. LYONS HAD TO'G0 AND GET HIS PAINTED A FIRE-ENGINE RED AND PUT A SEAT ON. LAVONNE KADOUS AND MILLY MOSS INSEPRABLE FRIENDS OF INSEPRABLE FRIENDS. HERE WAS A BEAUTIFUL COMBINATION--JOE MUYSKENS, JEAN HARMELINK, AND A LITTLE GRAY FORD. MARGUERITE LEMS, RUTH RIEMERSMA, SALLY BONTHUIS, AND MARY FRANCES DE HAAN AMONG THOSE WHO SLAVED IN CHEMISTRY CLASS. OUR OWN ARLUE DE VRIES ALWAYS FULL OF LAUGHTER AND SO GOOD AT READING POETRY IN SPEECH CLASS, IN CONTESTS TOO. WE ALL MISSED THE VANDER PLATTS GIRLS, MARILYN DYKSTRA AND MARGERY STELLINGA WHEN THEY DIDNIT RETURN THE LAST SEMESTER. OF COURSE, WE WERE MORE THAN REWARDED BY THE RETURN OF HSMILEYU. HE JUST COULDNIT STAY AWAY FROM DEAR OLD NJC. CHIS REAL NAME WAS JIM BRINKHUISI. HE DROVE J0 ANNE VONK TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY, ALL THE WAY FROM CARMEL, BUT THAT WAS ALRIGHT WITH WALLY THOUGH, LOOKED LIKE KEN MIEDEMA, ALMOST NOT QUITE QUICK DO SOMETHING T0 LIFE FINALLY GOT FOR CLEM JUST HAPPENED TO LIVE NEAR CARMEL TOO. IT WAS TRULY AMAZING HOW MUCH MURIAL RAAK RAAK, BUT THEN OF COURSE THEY WERE BROTHER AND SISTER. ONE DAY OUR ACE DETECTIVE, ANDREW GOT A LOOK INTO THE ERIEFCASE THAT JACK SOLSMA CARRIED WITH HIM AT ALL TIMES, EUT HE WAS ENOUGH. LEON MEIER WAS OUR NLITTLE MAN WITH THE BIG VOICEH. OHI THAT VOICE, DIDNIT IT JUST THE GIRLS, THOUGH. DOROTHY TEERINK AND CHAROLLENE VANDER POLA WERE HCHICKENSH. THE DORM THEM AND THEY MOVED OUT. EMMETT WALKER WAS WILLING TO SKETCH A PICTURE OF SOMEONE, BUT SEEMS LIKE HE ALWAYS PUT JUST A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH CHARACTER OR NOT ENOUGH CHARACTER INTO IT. IT DEPENDED IF YOU WERE TALKING TO THE PERSON SKETCHED OR NOT. THELMA AND JEAN WERE OUR CHAMPION PING PONG PLAYERS, BUT THEY HAD PRETTY GOOD COACHES AND PRACTICE. JO ANN VAN MAANEN ALWAYS AND FOREVER STANDING IN THE HALLS LOOKING FOR HER BROTHER. BROW IDELBERT VAN MANNENI WHO DROVE THAT LITTLE CREAM COLORED FORD WITH THE RED TRIMMING. IT HAD CRACKS IN THE DOORS TOO. OUR PRESIDENT OF THE STUDENT SENATE, STANLY SPRIK ALWAYS READY WITH A SPEECH ON ANY AND ALL OCCASIONS. HIS INFORMAL ONES IN THE HALLS AND THE BACK ROW OF THE CLASS ROOMS WERE THE BEST, THOUGH. ALBERT MOSS WAS ALWAYS BUSY WITH HIS DUTIES AS PRESIDENT OF THE CSC OR HIS GREEK. HE WORKED AT THE COUNCIL TOO. LILA DEAN DONE, YOU COULD BE SURE WORK AROUND THE SCHOOL STOP AND TALK WITH YOU WAGON ALL THE TIME. BUT THEN MAXINE WANDE WAA STARTED TO DRIVE AND SHE JUST LOVES TO STOP 71 AND LAVONNE KADOUS WERE SPARK PLUGS. ANY TIME SOMETHING HAD To BE DONE OR WAS BEING THEY HAD A HAND IN IT SOMEWHERE. JIM HIBMA AND SQUEAK ALWAYS IN ON ALL THE ELECTRICAL AND JIM FILLED THE CANDY BAR MACHINES, TOO. REMEMBER HOW CORNIE KORVER WOULD ALWAYS . SEEMS THAT SMILEY DIDNIT HAVE JUST EXACTLY THE RIGHT TOUCH FOR RUNNING THE STATION FOR STOP SIGNS .
