These students displayed en- thusiasm in any Venture under- taken and never refused a re- quest that their talents or per- sonalities he used to help an- other group. The luniors showed great progress since they entered high school and took their places as upper-classrnen. Besides sup- plying two piano players for chapel, the girls oi this class took a great part in the Teies Club's annual Yule Fair. The tall Senior boys enjoyed prowess this year in the field of athletics, while the girls of this class took up the leadership in activities of the Teies Club. The whole class was occupied with preparing material tor the Lance or taking trips to Modesto to have pictures taken. Mr. Diephuis, Miss Swierenqa. Glee Club-Mr. T. Hoek, Director.

In the brisk winter air the classes competed for the champion- ship. Gertrude Veenstra served efficiently as scorekeeper for the many games played. The Athletic Council, with Cornelia De Hoag at its head, scheduled a tournament of games and appointed girls to rotate as referees. In this way the girls gained experience in planning and supervising games. The members of the Iunior class were divided among the other class teams since there were not enough Iuniors to make up a team. When the games' wins were tabulated, the Seniors and Sopho- mores were in the lead with the Freshman team following. dcw 0X C,CXxu,o Ki 'ww mx Wxiu YOXMX Xmw: L Q Huw cw www.
