From this group we have unanimously chosen someone who, has done much for Unity in his nineteen years here. His accomplishments include a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts from Denver. He has also been working towards an Education Specialist degree from Michigan State. The gifts of listening and understanding are only a sample of the characteristics he possesses. His friendly smile and caring attitude have influenced all of us. Through his Christian dedication we have been shown an example to live up to. Therefore, we, the class of nineteen hundred and eighty-two feel honored to be able to dedicate our “Silhouette” to Mr. William Vander Vliet. Dedication 3 Introduction 5 8 Introduction Introduction 9 Homecoming A week of funfilled activities came to an end Friday, February 5, Homecoming night. During the week special dress-up days, assemblies, and class competitions in various games gave us a chance to exhibit our class and school spirit. The competition was completed with the parade of floats made by each of the classes. The themes chosen this year centered around nursery rhymes. The seniors created an exhibit featuring Rub a Dub Dub Three Men in a Tub. The juniors, despite a fire which destroyed their float an hour before the judging, proudly displayed what was left of “Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater.” The sophomore class showed a well constructed “Little Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe . The class of 1972 was warmly welcomed back by representatives from each class. All present thoroughly enjoyed watching the Saders take on the Eagles of Grand Rapids Christian. 12 Athletics Girls Capture League Co-Championship The girls basketball team had an excellent season this year. They showed outstanding teamwork which led to many exciting victories over some very competitive teams. They captured a co-championship in league play and fell to a heartbreaking second in the district tournaments. The season ended showing an impressive 16-4 record overall. -Sharon Bremer Sharon Bremer shows the Agony of Defeat Our superstar from Norway. 16 Girls Varsity Bask etbaH Froot Row: Deb Bareman, Mary Quist, Amy Bierling, Cherie Grasman, Mary Bremer — Statistician Row Two: Mr Van Woerkom — Coach, Karen Zoodsma, Sharon Bremer.

Runners Give It Their All Cross Country enjoyed a big team of fourteen runners this year. Only three of these runners were returning cross country men. Of the other eleven rookies, five were girls, making up Unity's first girls cross country team. Two of these five girls did exceptionally well. Vicki Koedoot placed fifth at Regionals qualifying her for State and Tina Bouman placed eighteenth which also qualified her for State. In addition to these fine achievements, the team greatly improved their times. Losing only three seniors and gaining a year's experience, the team is looking forward to an even better season next year.

John Rienstra made All-State honorable mention. Brian Boetsma and Butch Hubers were named to the All-Conference second team and Mike Bass and Mike Kuyers made All-Conference honorable mention.

Silhouette Staff 63 64 Happenngs A Day to Remember As the new school year began the spirit of summer still lived on. Everyone enjoyed having an afternoon off to spend with old friends and to meet new ones at Tunnel Park. There was plenty of food to start the day off. During the afternoon, there were games of Frisbee and softball for those who somehow managed to stay dry. But for those who didn’t mind a little sand and water, there were many opportunities to throw in fellow classmates. Waler does wonders lo your looks. jr ' Your lime had come! Any Iasi words? 66 Mixer Memories Return The Silhouette party brought together last year's students for a night of reminiscing. Everyone passed around their Silhouettes to be signed and autographed by old friends. Unity’s south gym was filled with laughter and talk of memories of the past year.

Silhouette Party 67 Grovers Corners came alive in Jenison High School Auditorium when twenty-four Unity actors performed Thornton Wilder’s classic play Our Town. Wilder hoped that his portrayal of the life in the quiet New Hampshire town around the turn of the century would make people think about life and what it really means. Miss Zoet, the play’s director, also wanted Wilder’s message to be the center goal in the cast's performance. In two evening performances on November 27 and 28, a pleased Miss Zoet, in her final production at Unity, and an audience of 1000+ interested people watched that message come to life. The play itself follows the ordinary lives of the Gibbs and Webb families. Meanwhile, George Gibbs and Emily Webb take interest in each other, tall in love, and go through the rigors of marriage. When Emily dies she joins the other dead of Grovers Corners in an emotional and revealing post mortem” graveyard conversation. The set consisted of very few props, all part of Wilder's attempt to direct the audiences attention away from the superficial. The Stage Manager summed it up best when he said: You have to have life to love life and you have to love life to live life.” — Craig Knot i Aw ma by nine o’clock I gotta know al about Canada.

Musical 71 Belles On Their Toes The All Student Play this year was entitled Belles On Their Toes. The production was a continuing drama of the familiar musical “Cheaper By The Dozen.” The cast and crew did a terrific job of putting on the production especially in the short time allotted them. Those who saw the play were not disappointed in their choice to see it. The story centers around the Gilbreth children as they must learn to manage themselves while Mother is away carrying on Father's business. Everything seems to be going just fine until Martha rents Mother’s room out to a complete stranger, snoopy cousin Leora arrives just to see how things are going, all the children get chicken pox, and Tom’s rootbeer explodes in the basement. In the end all is straightened out but many comical scenes come out in the process. The three older children discuss the situation Feel my pulse, Anne. “No, I think I'll take this one Tom.

There was exciting class competition every day, along with some special dress-up days like blue-and-white day, all planned by Student Council. — Lexi Neimeyet Somebody, hold this gym sHI! Go Ahead — I dare you Seniors have spirit! 74 Homecoming Homecoming 75 Homeroom has always been a time set aside tor study, yet there are always those who profess to have no homework. Rather than have these people disturb the students who do wish to study they are allowed to sign up to play different sports on their homeroom team. The intramural sports include Ultimate Frisbee, Flag Football, Badminton, Table-Tennis, Basketball, and Softball. This year some of the teachers challenged these energetic students to a Flag Football and later a basketball game. Both teachers and students enjoyed the challenge, exercise, and excitement Intramurals and Student-Teacher games provided this year. Provided A Challenge Both students and teachers participate in an exciting football game. Mike Baas looks lor an open pass. 78 Intramurals Student-Teacher Games Many students took a break from their studies to view the Student-Teacher games. Randy Talsma puts one up for two. Jon Ymker and Mr. Houseward anticipate the rebound. Homerooms also competed in the area of volleyball. Intramurals Student-Teacher Games 79 A Touch Of Class Fine Arts week began with a Sunday evening concert at Ridgewood CRC featuring the combined choirs of Unity and Holland Christian schools. The week progressed with many interesting sectionals in the areas of art, music, literature, and drama. A part of these sectionals were given by experts in these areas but students were also allowed to display their individual or group talents. Fine Arts are a part of the beauty of God's creation and Fine Arts week gives students a chance to explore and express their gifts in these areas. A special thanks goes to all those teachers who planned this week and those teachers and students who participated. The Wiliams (amly play some popular Bluegrass.

Fine Arts 81 The Alley Tenement buildings With patched brick walls Stand apart. Allowing for iron grate of fire escapes, And wet sticky laundry drips From spider-web strands of clothes-line Three children in the alley Scrape an empty garbage can On the gritty asphalt As they turn it on its edge To let spatters of wet, sunny-orange paint Cover the grimy metal. 1st Place Julie Brinks, This Home I’ve known the simpleness of this house: The cracked, stiff creak the linoleum makes, The hollow gas ping rasp of burning bottle gas, The gleaming lights on the wall, The metal water tank standing behind the door, Leftover chairs lining the wall, The shadows hiding in the corners. The fire catching in the furnace again, The steamed up picture window. The rhythmic ticking of the clock, The scrape of a wooden chair on the floor, A complaint from the springs in the musty couch. Tales repeated of hunting and fishing. The guffaw of ribbing, the chuckle of laughter. Excitement relived; The dark, bare rafters, The well-worn, lumpy mattress, The heaviness of a quilt Covering the warmth of a sleeping bag, And a good deep sleep. 3rd Place Julie Brinks “The Enemy” — 1st Place, Ross Jelsema Fishing Expedition Squatting on the sidewalk A black, young child Peering through a metal grind Which allowed Cigarette butts, deadened leaves, stale water To take up residency, Each fusing its own odor To the stech of its abode. Alone among its neighbors A nickel glimmers, Igniting interest Sparking the onlooker’s eyes Burning a desire within him. Knowing his prize is out of reach A plan, he devises, His line — an old kite string. His bait — chewing gum spit into his palm, Mold together to form His fishing equipment. He casts his line repeatedly Until between the gritted bars it falls. It lands, Shattering a crispy leaf Inches away from his catch The boy bobs his bait, Bullseye! Smothering Jefferson, the wad hits its mark. Slowly with intense concentration He pulls, Hand over hand steadily. With the utmost care. Through the bars of freedom The wad dangles. With a snakelike movement He grabs his lure and catch. He sighs With a shrug of his shoulders And a smile of satisfaction. 2nd Place Deb Blauw “Mac Boulder. . .

Their care and concern for each student here at Unity Christian High is greatly appreciated by all. Our Principal — Mr. William Vander Vliet, and Vice Principal — Mr. Robert De Koning do not have an easy job or a patterned one, for each student has a different personality and different goals. Much thanks goes to each of these men for yet another year of dedicated service. Mr. Vander Viet explains the system lo Mr Postema, the new Principal Mr Vander Vliel enjoys homecoming activities along with a few teachers. 86 Mr Vander Vfel Mr William Vander Vliet — Principal Mr. De Koning 87 Paper work is a customary part of Mr De Koning’s day. Mr. De Koning and Mr. Vander Vliet discuss issues concerning the school. Mr. Robert De Koning — Vice Principal To The Office Please How many of us have not heard that phrase read to us from the Student Bulletin this year? Our three secretaries, Jackie Capel, Marideen Holtrop, and Paulette DeBoer have kept things running smoothly all year. Their job is both fun and challenging as they must deal with over six hundred students who are always trying to get away with something. But Mrs. Capel, Mrs. Holtrop, and Mrs. DeBoer are always ahead of everyone else and students rarely get away with anything. Are you sure he's in that class? Where did you ever dream that one up!?! You'll have to talk to Mr DeKoning about that. 88 Office Clean, Not Mean The janitorial job at Unity is not an easy one for there are always those students who neglect to wipe their muddy shoes before they enter school and those who are careless with the disposal of their garbage. Mr. John Vander Helm does not like to see the privileges of all the students taken away but feels this is necessary if students cannot be responsible for themselves. John is a helpful, friendly, caring person whose daily life is an example to all of us of a good Christian person. Janitor 89 John is relieved that the halls are dean once again. Strength And Unity Behind everything that takes place at Unity there is a group of devoted men. These men seldom receive recognition for the powerful and enormous job they hold, yet without them Unity Christian High School would be at loss. Their strength and guiding hands are what holds Unity together. Mr. Roger Roode, School Board President. First Row: Robert Wieringa, Roger Roode.

Miss Nanci Zoet leaves us after four years to take up a new home in California with her soon-to-be husband. Miss Zoet has done much for Unity in the drama and female counseling areas. Mr. William Vander Vliet is resigning from his post as principal after nineteen years of dedicated service. Mr. Eilof Rusticus is also leaving his teaching position of eighteen years as a result of cuts in the language department. Although we hate to see these people go, for they have become a part of us and our family at Unity, we know that this departure is in God's plan for them. We want to wish them the best as they leave and we pray that God guide them as they go. Farewell 91 92 Academics A Different Approach A typical day at Unity Christian begins with students arriving for chapel. Many different approaches were made with the message each day. A student chapel committee was also organized to vary the topics and means by which the message was brought. This year Friday was designated for Homeroom devotions. It was encouraged that here the students reflect upon the theme of that week and worship God in their own private way. The Sophomore Chorus sings lor us early in the morning. Students leave a special chapel at Hillcresl CRC. Students meditate on the message. 94 Chapel Steve Essenburg and Tom Vanderwell set up chairs for chapel every day.

Box 56 Hudsonville, Ml 49426 184 Ads Success is the realization potential P Prince Corporation Congratulations to the graduating Class of 1982 I would like to thank the faculty and students for being absolutely fantastic to me! I really enjoyed my year here at Unity and found it great to be a part of the class of '82. There are a lot of people that have become very special to me, and I will never forget my stay here. I would love to see some of you. Come and visit me in Norway. The past 81-82 school year has been a busy and very exciting year. Students and faculty have been active in many areas and they have creatively used the gifts which God has given them. It is with sincere hope that the 1982 Silhouette has been able to create a lasting collection of those moments. It was with extreme difficulty that the Silhouette was produced as a result of a cut in the editorial staff. I would like to extend my deepest appreciation to those who did help in the production of this edition. Thanks to all those who helped in writing copy for the clubs and teams. A special thanks to Tina Bouman and Pat Hoezee DeLauw. Thanks to the staff and photographers for the hours they put into their layouts and photography. A sincere thanks to Mr. Jasperse and all the other faculty who supported us throughout the year. Your patience and concern meant a lot. I also want to thank you, the student body, for using your abilities to create the moments captured in this book. Sincerely, JJa nines In Christ’s Love, Linda Essenburg Editor I am a clear colorless crystal catching the Sunlight refracting a spectrum of radiant rainbows. Formed from such un form lam not to merely inhabit this moment lukewarm but to burst (in my Lived Second of History) like a bubble brimmed full of iridescent light. I will emblazon (a maz ing) my fiery fingerprints, across Life, for I have been recreated from gray dust to a comet sizzling in the sky, from Gray Matter to a kaleidoscope alive with brightblueday ideas. He took gray powder packed it together shot it off into the sky and I have EXPLODED. . . . . . into a zillion brilliant colors Pat Hoezee De Laauw 4
