The Juniors squeezed the Seniors out of first place in the game competition on Friday. This left the Seniors anxious about the float competition. The float theme this year was Dr. Suess. The Sophomores put forth a valiant effort with their float “Horizon Hatches The Egg.” Much to the Seniors, dismay they took a second place with their “Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now.” The Juniors’ float based on the book “Green Eggs and Ham” made them the overall victors. at Oiw Sj £. «o3 H� � 2| 14 HOMECOMING m wwlu.1 ar f HOMECOMING 15 All In A Day’s Work 17 ______ALL IN A DA Y’S WORK_ The Cleaning Clan Janitors JOHN VANDERHELM John has worked at Unity for 19 years. This year was unique for John because he missed 3 months of work because of back surgery. For John this was very frustrating. Reflecting on this time of having to lay around the house recovering John said, “The biggest thing to me is sitting and not being productive. God made me for a purpose and not to sit around. My responsibility is to Fill this purpose. We must be good stewards, not only with our money, but also our abilities, we must cultivate them to the utmost. You are not able to do this when you’re sitting at home.” John loves his job. Basically, he likes it because of the teenagers and because it is challenging. He finds it challenging because the students can be terrible and the most lovable people on earth, all at the same time. To the students at Unity he says, “Each of you should stand and look in the mirror. You are in the prime of life. You are physically fit, and more beautiful than ever. Look in the mirror ... John, Tim, and Todd enjoy their work. Thanks John everything! DAVE BRUINSMA Dave was a special addition to Unity’s janitorial staff this year. Dave came to Unity the week of Thanksgiving to help out during John’s illness. Dave is employed at Grand Rapids Gravel and was facing a seasonal layoff. He heard of the need for assistance at Unity and felt he had the ability to help the school out. He came in for an interview and said, “If this is where God wants me then I’ll give it my best shot.” Dave enjoyed working here and found a nice Christian atmosphere to work in. He liked janitor work. He found out that he could do it, which was rewarding. As he left Dave said about the future, “Where the Lord leads me, I’ll go.” and remember it.” JOHN BOLHUIS “I like my job, it has variety from floor to ceiling.” TODD JEURINK “It’a dirty job, but somebody’s got to do it.” TIM SAAGMAN “My job is a lot of fun and I’d recommend it — it’s good experience.” JERRY STEENWYK “The best part of my job is that I have good people to work with.” 18 JANITORS ALL IN A DA Y’S WORK Unity’s Headquarters Office Staff Nancy Westrate serves with a smile.

With our day beginning in chapel, our focus is shifted from the momentary day to day struggle to the eternalness of life. This is where we receive our daily instruction for the things that really count in life and praise the Father to whom we account our life to.

Mr. Johnson is always willing to lend a helping hand. Business Education at Unity Christian teaches students practical skills that are not only used in careers in the business committee, but also in daily activities. Unity offers Accounting, Computers, Economics, Typing, Shorthand and Office Practice. Students are given “hands-on” experience performing various office and accounting tasks. “I’m too cold to look at you. Mr. Kooistra posing — how do you “account” for that? BUSINESS 23 ALL IN A I)A Y’S WORK Religion: A High Set Goal For Life Bible Religion classes are what make Unity a special place to go. Not many students in other schools have the opportunity of combining their spiritual growth with their school life. However, Unity students do have the opportunity to learn how Christ affects their lives and how their lives should reflect Christ. The three religion classes they take include: Church History, Reformed Doctrine, and Christian Ethics. “All this note taking is boring me. 24 BIBLE Mr. Houseward, what a guy. The members of the band under the direction of Mr. Veenstra had a great year. As each individual player plays their own tune they learn to blend together in beautiful harmony. The band this year used their talents to raise their notes heavenward in praise to God. The band participated in several worship services this year. They also had a good year at festival where Unity’s hard work once again was acknowledged with a first division rating. To finish off the year in good step they marched in the annual tulip time parade in Holland. A lot of work went into the band so that it could be its very best this year. Along with the group performances there were many individuals who took on personal challenges. Many played in solo and ensembles. Each performance was a challenge and a goal, we are thankful that we can reach for the top and that in doing so we can give God the praise.

This time is spent in careful preparation for the church services and concerts which they perform in. The madrigals and handbell players are select groups taken from the concert choir which put in much extra work and perform in church services almost every week. Each choir member could say that this time for singing has also been a time for praising. The words of the songs learned in choir stay with a person for a long time and these words are definitely a praise to God. This song can’t be that boring. CONCERT CHOIR 29 _____ALL IN A DA Y’S WORK_ A Novel Approach English English is a big part of the curriculum at Unity. Every student must take at least four semesters of English classes, which vary from Speech to World Literature, from Drama to Advanced Composition. English is important for a variety of reasons. Mr. Vanden Berg, one of our English teachers commented, “Literature gives a better world and life view. It enlarges your perspective.” Miss Boeve said, “English is important for expressing yourself in writing or in speaking.” “Literature is an incredible study of people,” Miss Pories remarked, “It is Psychology, but a different way of learning about it.” Miss Pories, who joined our faculty this year, is impressed with the variety of mini-courses that Unity offers. At the school she taught at last year, she taught English 10, English 11, and English 12. She feels that the variety is a real strength in the English department. English does not just include Literature, but also includes films, drama and speech. Mrs. Laninga enjoys this area of communication the most. “Drama gives an opportunity for self-exploration, and students can become someone else. Students learn to empathize with other people.” Mr. Brower, besides teaching English full time, is very involved in extracurricular activities in the English department. He spends a lot of time coaching debaters (Yeah!) and helping out fantastic forensics participants. English at Unity — variety, a learning experience. Besides, who can forget — giving a speech in front of fellow sophomores for the first time? reading “To Kill a Mockingbird”? — staying up until 3 a.m. finishing a term paper? This class is a barrel of laughs. We really don’t know what she’s talking about. 30 ENGLISH “Please don’t ask me. Mr. Vanden Berge enjoys his class. “English... enlarges your perspective. ” — Mr. Vanden Berg Mrs. Laninga enjoys communication the most. Mr. Brouwer smiles nice for the camera. “Literature is an incredible study of people. — Miss Pories The newest English addition, Miss Pories. ENGLISH 31 ________ALL IN A DAY’S WORK___ Back To The Future History Through history classes, students gain a knowledge of their background and of many other countries, which helps them prepare for the future. Aside from the required U.S. History and Government classes, interesting courses on Russia Europe, and China Mid-dle East are also offered. I’m never reading the student bulletin again!1 “Aw, come on now!” Mr. Klyn takes command. 32 HISTORY ALL IN A DAY’S WORK A Stitch In Time Home Economics Mrs. Fridsma helps Marcia Open up, Anita. “Here’s to you” Unity offers many classes on Home Economics which teach homemaking skills to students. Under the direction of Mrs. Fridsma, both male and female students can learn about food and nutrition, interior decorating, family living, and clothing. HOME ECONOMICS 33 ALL IN A DA Y’S WORK Sweet Talkers Languages Students at Unity have an opportunity to learn a new language and understand a different culture. Through learning to read and talk a new language, they gain a better understanding of the English language. The languages offered are German, Latin, and Spanish. The German Gal, Miss Vree Mr. Wesseldyke leads his Spanish class. Latin class works on their translations 34 LANGUAGES ____ALLIN A DAY’S WORK_ Number Knowledge Math Mr. Jasperse says, “Here’s the ‘ON’ button.” Any new Harper trivia, Mr. Flietstra? How do you do this? Math classes at Unity offer a challenge from the basic fundamentals to the advanced levels of mathematics. Students learn to apply the principles of math to every day life as well as to future goals. Among the courses offered are Sophomore Math, Geometry, Algebra and Senior Math. Mr. Johnson gives assistance. MATH 35 _____ALL IN A DAY’S WORK___ Let’s Get Physical Physical Education One of our obligations as Christians is to take care of our bodies — God’s Temples. Unity requires each student to take two semesters of phys ed — one in the sophomore year and the other in the junior year. Nine weeks of physiology are included. These classes educate us in the areas of sportsmanship, rules, teamwork, and understanding how our bodies function. Miss Boeve with time on her hands. What a handsome guy. Sara Russo shows off her back hand 36 PHYSICAL EDUCATION ______ALL IN A DAY’S WORK___ Mind Over Matter Psychology Mr. DeWitt takes a break. One of the very interesting and practical courses which Unity offers is psychology. This one semester course for seniors involves an introduction to understanding human behavior with a Christian perspective. Mr. DeWitt uses many demonstrations and experiments which make psychology a very beneficial and fun course to take. PSYCHOLOGY 37 ______ALL IN A DA Y’S WORK_ The Facts Of Life Science Science classes at Unity help students to understand, enjoy, and appreciate God’s creation. As sophomores, students take Biology where they get first hand experience at dissecting a fetal pig. As juniors and seniors they may choose one of the various other courses, like Chemistry, Physics, Earth Science, or Senior Biology. “Do you think they wilt recognize us?” Marla Geers models the latest in hair design. “Hey Michelle! That kinda looks like you!” 38 SCIENCE “Did I ever tell you about ‘Peter the Puma’?” “Cold? No, I always sit on my hands.” SCIENCE 39 ____ALL IN A DA Y’S WORK_ Technology Today Shop Unity Christian High School has a tremendous Shop department this year. Mr. Hulst has roughly sixty students, comprised of a mixture of sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Each student has a different interest and there are various ways of fulfilling their needs. General Shop provides a good background for woods and metals. It is good hands-on experience, and can help someone decide whether or not to pursue woods or metals any further. Because of the varying interest of the different students at UCHS, the variety of courses offered to prepare the students for their future career decisions is helpful. Mike Bosgraaf engrossed in his work. Kurt Kunnen works under pressure. 40 SHOP ALL IN A IJA Y’S WORK On The Job Training Skill Center To prepare students for a career following graduation of high school is the goal of Ottawa Area Vocational Center. It provides an opportunity to take classes that Unity does not offer. Some examples of available courses are Cosmetology, Auto Mechanics, Secretarial Programs, Electronics, and Child Care. Students attend Ottawa Skills for a half day, then attend their own school for the rest. Each year, about 40 students from Unity Christian attend. Skill Center is such fun!

Student Council started with the mixer in Sept, to get everyone acquainted with each other. Then a group of Student Council members traveled up to Camp Roger to plan this year’s activities. We had a few special days here and there to spark some spirit into the whole student body. One of the year’s most exciting events planned by Student Council was homecoming, a real success. Some other committees formed by Student Council were the Showcase Committee, Sports events, and Service Committee. Lori VanderArk represents the Sophomores. Mr. Reiffer observes the meeting.

It includes story telling, serious interpretation, humorous interpretation, impromtu, radio announcing, dramatic duo and multiples. Each of the participants must select a piece of literature or prepare for the competition mostly on their own with some coaching by Mr. Brouwer. Forensics is a team situation. The p a r -ticipants develop a sense of belonging. They have a good time on the way to and from competition. The competition is like a sport, with districts, re-gionals, and state. This year’s team was mostly made up of sophomores. Forensics was a new experience for them and nothing like what they expected. They found it involved all types of people and it was fun. Even though they were new at Forensics they did have a few ideas how to improve the system. One idea was to have subdivisions in all areas of competition because it is tough for a novice to compete against seniors who have had experience. Also, it was suggested that Unity have a forensics class but Unity always has done just as well as schools that do have classes. According to Mr. Brouwer the main value of Forensics is that it is a way to develop confidence in speaking skills. The fabulous forensics team. Robin’s serious side. Lori knows her stuff. Tell me who’s cuter. 48 FORENSICS ORGANIZATIONS Taking Glimpse Into Future ECO ECO is a program at Unity that helps students to Explore Career Opportunities. Through this program students can become more aware of what careers are available and what would be best for them to pursue. Besides becoming more aware, one can experience what the career would be like by visiting a place for a day. They can also visit different colleges. It is just another way that Unity helps to prepare the students for what lies ahead. Volunteers help students in career advice. ___ Amtvtr rtjro Amw+ct Forros Art flk fuv ss Cteorvi Construction Cos nctninciv The list goes on and on! V- Mr. TenHarmsel heads the ECO staff. ECOI ORGANIZATIONS The Undebatable Champs Debate The debate team finished an outstanding year with a State Championship. This was a fantastic feat for Unity Debate, which has only been around for four years. Four years ago debate was not available as a class at Unity, and students commuted to Jenison for the class. The next year Mr. Brouwer began teaching Debate with a class of nine students. The team went 0-6 in Districts. The next year the class size increased to thirty and the team finished in the quarter finals. This year, only the fourth year of debate at Unity, our varsity team took home a State Championship title. The Varsity Team, consisting of Loren Baker, Tim Hen-driksen, Greg Van Wienen, and John Witvliet, worked long and hard for their championship. Preparations began in June with reading up on water pollution, the topic for this year’s debate. Then they organized the vast amount of data and became ready to defend both sides of the issue. Each person worked on debate about twelve hours a week during the summer. The debaters were very excited about their success. Especially because winning State was the realization of a goal that they had set for themselves months before. They debated against tough competition and they bacame well known. People began to recognize them as a good debate team, one that should be watched out for. Our team put Hudsonville on the map in the world of debate. Even though Debate isn’t much of a spectator sport, the debaters hope that Unity students appreciate what they have accomplished. They also thank the Junior Varsity Team (Holly Doode, Rachel Fliestra, Jenny Miller, and Brenda Pell) for all their support. The Junior Varsity also took home a few trophies due to fine performances in their competitions. This year’s Debate Team has definitely set a precedent for excellence. Hopefully, in years to come the Debate team will be able to match the success of this year’s team. 50 DEBATE John and Loren busily prepare to debate John presents his side Standing, L to R: Coach Mr. Brouwer, Greg Van Wienen, Tim Hendriksen. d: Lo Seated: Loren Baker and John Witvliet Loren in action Rachel Fliestra presents the J.V.

Membership is open to anyone who is a member of the sophomore chorus or the concert choir. This year there are two groups: one which meets on Wednesday and the other on Friday. These groups, led by Mr. Ball, practice to perform special music in church services and to provide accompaniment for several songs sung by the two choirs.

Every day the helpers take care of homeroom attendance on a computer, check in books and magazines, put them away, take inventory of the remaining books, find magazines for people, update the overdue list, and run errands for Mrs. Zwiers. Rewards also come along with the job, like helping someone find the material they need for reports or outside reading. Thanks library staff for all your dedication and hard work!

As Gary Huitsing said, “It’s a great way to get into shape or to stay in shape from one sport to the next.” There are rewards to running in Kilometer Club. As Tom Waring said, “You can get a free shirt!” Aside from earning a shirt, the runners also feel a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

Bottom Row: Amy Van Loo, Scott Harmsen, Helen Heyboer. Every Monday after school during the winter the bowling team, along with their coach, Mr. Johnson, met at Hudson-ville Bowling Lanes. They paired off in groups of two and competed against each other. Trophies were awarded to the guy and girl with the highest average, highest series, highest handicapped series, highest game, and also to the team with the highest score. More important though is the fun that the team had bowling against each other and individually. The team has about fifteen members, and new bowlers are always welcome! KILOMETER BOWLING CLUBS 55 ORGANIZATIONS Excitement Builds Pep Band What would a basketball game be without a Pep Band? Hopefully Unity will never have to find that out. Once again this year Unity’s Pep Band upheld its reputation as being one of the best in the area. They provided entertainment between the Junior Varsity and the Varsity games and during halftime. Songs like “Flashdance”, “Jump”, and “China Grove” were at the top of the charts for the band. They increased the excitement and the energy of the games. Led by John Witvliet and Julie Visser the band displayed great talent throughout the season. 56 PEP BAND ORGANIZATIONS Telling All There Is To Know Excalibur The Excalibur comes out approximately six times throughout the course of the year. In it are articles concerning sports, plays, teachers, and anything else that might interest its readers. The editor, Heather Gem-men, and asst, editor, John Bolhuis, seemingly keep their cool quite well while trying to keep up with all their deadlines. A couple of times, however, they have been known to stroll up and down the halls during homeroom carrying a piece of wood, resembling a “reporter-beater” in search of their reporters. Any dedicated reporter that was found during this search with an unfinished article in his her hand had to face the consequences. Only those few unlucky reporters ever knew what the consequences for an unfinished story were. The Excalibur staff did a great job the entire year!

Man can only stand in awe over its framework. One of the amazing displays of God’s creation is Halley’s Comet. The comet, which can be seen from the earth only once every seventy-six years, made its appearance this year. The best time to see the comet was during the early morning hours of November through March. The appearance of the comet used to be feared. Many people believed that terrible things would happen during the time that the comet could be seen. In order to protect themselves from the comet, people took “comet pills.” It is also believed that the star that the wisemen followed to find Christ was actually Halley’s Comet. This is strongly supported by many scientists because of certain known facts such as the brightness of the star and many others. We are fortunate to have been living in a year in which the comet passed us in its orbit. This comet truly shows the organization of our God who made the entire universe. Our God reigns everywhere.

The first stop was at Pleasure Island where they could go on water slides, bumper boats, eat, and do many other things. The next stop was at Harbour Town Place, the old Piano Factory, where the graduates were greeted Hawaiian style and had lots of fun. Thanks goes to the parents for a terrific party!

Soccer The group of guys forming the J.V. soccer team made a team that was tough to beat. Starting with summer soccer they had a chance to get to know each other. They pulled together as a team against tough competition. After preparing through the summer and with the excellent coaching by Mr. Tom Beirling the team had an outstanding record. A highlight of their season was the game against G.R. Christian in which they were tied 1-1 for most of the game. With 30 seconds remaining Unity broke the tie. It was an exciting finish that showed the depth of the team. Jeff Bolt shows his breaking power. Fancy footwork by Jamie Buursema.

To them basketball is... — one of the greatest sports ever invented — a fun way to stay in shape — a fun and challenging way to meet people — a lot of hard work but well worth it — a long sport, especially when you sit the bench — when a group of people get on a court with a ball and have a great time — a great way to make new friends — people working together to do their best at making a good year Cath.

Cherry Post, a member of this years J.V. team, participated in the Pepsi Hot-shot contest. She experienced success at local and regional competition. In state competition at the Silverdome she surprised herself with a first place finish to qualify for nationals. She received an all expense paid trip for two to Denver, Colorado for the nationals. Cheryl spoke of her experience with this comment, “What made it special was the support I received from classmates and teammates. I didn’t know how people would react but they all encouraged me and wished me luck. That’s what made it special.” PEPSI HOTSHOT GIRLS JV BASKETBALL 117 SPORTS “Catch Us If You Can” From the beginning the chase was on. The opening game against Catholic Central gave coach Fliestra his first win of an opening game in his coaching career at Unity. That victory promised a successful year, and the season proved to be just that. Success was a trademark of the team. Before the season officially began the girls participated in a voluntary team camp. In three days, and eleven victory games later, every team at the camp was gearing up to get back at Unity’s team. They had set themselves up for a tough season ... and the chase was on. In hot pursuit of a victory over Unity’s team were the usual rivals. At only two times during the season were they ever caught and passed in points, giving them a loss. One loss went to state ranked, class A, Ottawa Hills. Keeping this team to a ten point victory span was a highlight of their season. The other loss came in the state semi-finals when Dearborn Divine Child passed them up to advance to state. Yet the success of the team ran deeper than the record of 24-2. Success for the team was creating a team of friends and knowing that “friends are friends forever if the Lord is the Lord of them.” It was in being unified on and off the court. Much of the success came from Mr. Fliestra and what he taught the team. They had learned that “There’s life after basketball.” Girls Varsity Basketball 54-38 West Ottawa Zeeland South Christian Hudsonville Jenison West Catholic Holland Chr. Muskegon C.C.

The team wholeheartedly agrees that the coach, Mr. Oostindee, is owed a big thank-you for making this golf season the best ever! SPORTS 121 SPORTS Over the Hills and Through the Woods Cross Country The cross country teams this year consisted of thirteen dedicated runners. Many of these runners were out for their first season of cross country, As Coach Houseward said, “They learned a lot about distance running!” The teams, even though they were inexperienced, worked hard and gave their all. The hours spent together in practice and in competition resulted in strong team spirit and an ability to have fun, while working hard. Gary Van Huis bluntly said of the season, “I think it was fun!” The team ended their season with a costume party at Coach Houseward’s home. This was a great time spent racing on a scavenger hunt, eating, playing “butt charades,” playing “Twister” and having fun! It was a great end to a great season. To sum it all up, Alma Tolman said, “It’s a lot of hard work but it’s worth it!” Kneeling: Rob Van Dyken, Bert Heyboer, Darren Maring, Scott Helder.

It is “a very competitive sport that gets you into excellent shape,” according to Scott Tameling. Bert Heyboer enjoyed the season and advises to “start early and stick with it.” One weakness of this year’s team was the four open weight classes. This accounted for valuable points lost in forfeits. Gary Huitsing says, “We need people to fill these weight classes. Don’t be afraid to try it. You usually do better than you think you will.” When the going gets tough, the wrestlers get going!

JV BOYS’ BASKETBALL 125 SPORTS “Give It Your Best Shot” Boys Varsity Basketball _ The boys’ varsity basketball team of this year had its ups and downs. It started out the season’s first nine games with a rocky start of two wins and seven losses. But the team rose to win seven out of the next nine games to balance its poor start. The team ended up with a nine-nine record with two games left in the season before tourneys. It split the last two games to end the regular season at .500. A tough loss in the first round of tournaments to city rival, Hudsonville, sent the boys of winter home for an early spring. The team was well balanced this year between juniors and seniors and even had a sophomore, Tom Broene, who saw some playing time. The team showed alot of poise and character in rising from its unpromising beginning to close the season with a ten-eleven record. “Congratulations, men, on a job well done!” Paul goes for two Front Row: Dan Landstra, Paul Goebel, Mark Winkle, Nate Mulder, Jim A.

However, it was only this way in the beginning, as Joy Nyenhuis said, “We grew stronger as a team as the season progressed.” Some exciting games took place and when the pressure was on and a hit was needed, they really worked for it.

SOFTBALL 137 SPORTS On The Right Track Boys ’ Track The guys had an excellent track team this year. They were strong throughout the entire season and had depth to cover all of the events. They finished the season with a six-zero dual meet record. They placed first at the Calvin Invitational and Eagle Relays and second at the Caledonia Relays and Regionals. They sent ten guys to the State meet and had another fine showing there. Todd Jeurink expressed a typical opinion of track: “It was fun but I looked forward to the end.” The long, sweaty hours of practice can be frustrating but it pays off in the end. “The team was really close this year. Everyone was very supportive,” Steve Landstra said. The coaches remarked on various occasions how this team was unique. Everyone encouraged their fellow teammates and showed the true meaning of “Unity.” It’s this kind of spirit and support that kept this team as close as it was. They’re definitely an impressive bunch of guys! Gary and Rob formed a depen- Tom was a definite plus to our dable duo. team. The A-Team (A for AWESOME!)

They closed the season with a five-one record in dual meets. They placed second at the Calvin Invitational, at both relay meets and at regionals. The team qualified seven individuals for the State meet, which is the largest number of girls in one year to qualify from Unity. The first relay teams to make it to State were qualified this year as well: the 880 relay team and the 440 relay team. Although the girls seerfied to specialize in outstanding performances time after time, they were also characterized by their encouragement for one another and their unifying team spirit. This team, along with the boys’ team, had something special. As Sue Ymker said, “The good times shared with the team bonded us together and we were like one big family.” Nancy Motman agreed that “it’s a lot easier to go to practice knowing you have friends there.” Alma Tolman summed it up by saying, “I ran track for the competition, the personal satisfaction, and the team unity.” Julie’s persistence shines through again. These girls can really “KREUZE”! “Baby, she was born to run!” Hot Hand-Off This year’s track team shared many fun times and special friendships. 140 GIRLS’TRACK “All in the Family” Unity Opp. 68 Coopersville 60 69 Calvin Chr. 59 2nd Calvin Invite A 100 West Mich.

This drama told us the story of Charly Gordon, a thirty-two year old retarded man, who through a surgical operation becomes a genius. We see him go from puppet to genius, questioning his “friendships” with those around him. To him, his only trusted friend was his mouse, Algernon, who brings in the ditty “Three Blind Mice.” This ditty left both audience and cast with the question, Are we like his parents, doctors, and bakery friends; blind to the goodness and value of Charly? Or are we one of the few who understand and care? Thanks to Mrs. Laninga, Kris Byker, and cast for an excellent performance! Mrs. Mooney chats with her new renter. Charly Gordon — Joel R.

We had special chapels throughout the week including an organ concert by John Witvliet on Hillcrest CRC’s new pipe organ, guest speakers, and student prepared chapels. All dealt with the talents that God has given us. An art display was set up in the library. Many students entered their artwork to be judged both by an outside artist and by their fellow classmates. Artwork of every kind was entered including papier-mache projects, photographs, pottery, pictures — both painted and pencil drawn, and a variety of other things as well. Sectionals were held during classes which students could go to. The more popular sectionals were the student performances. At these, Unity students could show others their God given talents for the benefit of everyone there. Hopefully everyone learned a little more about themselves through them. All in all it was a week that honored the arts and gave each Unity student a chance to learn and grow in a little different way. Joy gives her impressions of the fine arts in a student-led chapel. 160 FINE ARTS WEEK Tim gives a super student performance. HAPPENINGS Eric receives an award for his fine artwork.

Junior Senior Banquet The air was clear and chilly but soon filled with warm excitement as tuxedos and dresses were put on, hair put up, and heels slipped on. The anticipated evening brought out the best and the good times of the year continued to roll. The honoring of the seniors and the toast to a successful future came with emphasis on the Class of 1986 being leaders in all areas at Unity. The exchange of toasts between Karen Hiemstra, President of the Junior class, and Dave, President of the Senior class, uniquely showed the unity of all students as brothers and sisters in Christ. The entertainment was by Miss Pories and Mr. Brouwer. Their impressions and imitations brought laughter from the students because they had caught the characteristics of many students perfectly. Commenting on the unique entertainment Mr. Fondse said, “The Juniors should be applauded for trying something new and taking a risk. It’s much easier getting someone from the outside to do the entertainment, but to stay in-house is hard.” The students greatly appreciated the Pories and Brouwer Duo of entertainment and many upon reflection brought it up as the best part of the banquet. A Miss Pories and Mr. Brouwer Duo. Ron and Julie enjoying the entertainment. Hilarious Imitations and Impressions. 162 HAPPENINGS ... and rol 1...
