Together we lived as a body, yet we all lived as individuals — each man with his God. W i mh Seniors Rule It is usually said that Seniors Rule. It was never more true than this year at Valley. Tiie Class of 73 overpowered the underclassmen in many ways and at many times. They won the VW Pileup on Nifty Fifties Day and won overall in the Wacky Olympics. Their acting abilities shone through during the production of the class play The Miser. Their spirit was heard at every pep rally. Valley watches the Class of 1973 leave with mixed emotions. One thing is sure, however, the seniors will not soon be forgotten.

This title is simply The Class of 74 , whose single purpose is to show that 74 has more . To reach this goal, the junior class had the task of running the canteen in order to earn money for the anticipated Jun- ior-Senior Banquet. In this year ' s banquet it was shown that the Class of 1974 does have more. 6 U Debbie Fikse, Treasurer; Earl De Vries , Vice President; Mario Overgaauw, President; Deanne Zonneveld, Secretary.

Wise , in that they put on a successful Senior-Mother ' s Tea and also had donut sales and a car wash, Fools , in that they struggled through geometry and began to warn the faculty that they yet have their Junior and Senior years left at Valley. With the help of Super Soph, the memories of this Sophomore class will lin- ger and ring through the halls of V. C. H. S. for years to come.

As was pointed out by our speaker, the Rev. den Dulk, we must also give thanks for the things that do not turn out the way we wanted them to; we should give thanks for all things. Jane Brinkman, a student from Ontario Christian High School, was a good example of this. She was paralyzed from the neck down in an accident, yet she still praises God and knows He had a purpose in it. We collected our offering this year for Jane so she could have a week of therapy at Rancho Los Alamitos Hospital, where her love and thanks for the Lord continue to grow. 54 H Q- j4 i I ' R ' f-r- ' : l£Lf s.n rrr 7N ■ n !

Why you ' ve got a harvest festival you ' ll- never forget. 55 Spirit Week The excitement began with the annual con- test, senior girls against the freshman and sophomore girls. The Powder Puff football game ended in a tie, 6-6. After the game, the freshman, sophomore, and junior princesses were chosen, along with the two candidates for queen. Curious minds and hearts would be satisfied Fri- day, Homecoming night, when the queen would finally be announced. 56 Susan Vander Kooi, Queen Those who reigned .% my . .t fTL Tom Alger, Colleen Verhoeven--Seniors Rick Streelman, Cindy Biel — Juniors 58 Kendall Kamps, Lori Broekema--Freshmen Art Vander Bilt, Nellie Visser — Sophomores . . . Over progress of transportation - r Homecoming began on that chilled Friday night vdth the cheerleaders s Yarming by on their colorfully decorated, but amazingly slov? minibikes. The band and drill team, performing admirably, stood by at attention as the cheerleaders roUed to a trackside stop and the royal procession of prince sses and candidates for queen began. Accompanied by last year ' s Homecoming Queen, Lorrie Groot, the theme, The Progress of Transportation was carried out, fittingly, by a hand-carried litter and brought to a rumbling stop by a bright red Corvette. M.C. Marlin De Jong, after receiving the envelope from the mascot Crusader, then made the announcement most tensely v aited for-Susan Vander Kooi vras Home- coming Queen for 1972-1973. Amidst the flashes of the cameras and the tears of joy, Lorrie coronated her with the cro vn of silver. And with a National Anthem sung by Jim Bold en that for a miaute didn ' t seem like it v as going to end, the most crucial game of the season kicked off. Of old it ivas usually customary for the Christians to be thrown to the Lions, but the tide turned as the first drops of rain began to fall. Spirit undampened, the crov d and team stuck Yith it until the last second ticked a vay re- vealing the Lutheran Lions being tamed by the Crusaders, 33-20. And even as the rain continued to pour down, the Alma Mater struck home vith the enthusiasm that made that night v hat it Yas, unforgettable. (fi - feef- A? - , Christmas Christmas was evident at Valley. Practicing for the Christmas Concert, the Businessmen ' s Association selling- Christmas trees, singing carols, looking forward to vacation and the new year, and the special Christmas chapel were signs that the season of Christmas was near. , ' Twirp Week If you would have walked down the halls of V. C. H. S. during the week of January 26 through February 2 you would probably have noticed some rath er peculiar things going on: a group of guys being approached by a group of girls, and suddenly there being no group of guys, or a girl with shakey knees and a trem- bling voice asking her dream man for that lucky date, or a red faced freshman being asked for the pep rally by an eager sophomore. This was Twirp Week. Twirp Week ended with a grand finale in the annual meeting of the Kangaroo Court. The violators of Twirp Week rules were punished accordingly, with the exception of Ernie Brink who ran out of the gym. Most would say Twirp Week was just another week at Valley, but for some it was the start of something great. Niftv-Fifties Day r Nostalgia ruled in the hearts of the students and faculty the day of March 2, as Nifty Fifties Day arrived. The day was full of laughs, long skirts, bobby socks, baggy pants, ponytails, bow ties, and more laughs. Tlie highlight of the day was when Jeannie Spannen- burg and Frank Rollema were given a prize for best dressed girl and guy. Tlie Senior class was the winner of the VW pile up as they managed to stuff 22 guys into the car. This was a day full of fun as V. C. H, S. looked back to the days of the Nifty Fifties . 62 n 63 The Miser THE MISER, a three-act comedy by Moliere, was presented bv the class of 1973. It was a combi- nation of good humor, excellent acting and direct- ing, and beautiful costumes, to make an enjoy- able night for all. The play centered around a niggardly old man and the people in his life who were ruled and influenced by him. Tlie second act was especially entertaining and well-done, for it featured Dan Epp playing the hilarious double role of cook and coachman, while the miser, played by Harold Klein, left the audi- ence in an uproar by jumping off the stage and running wildly through the crowd, shouting for the one who stole his money. Tliough no one could quite believe it, the end of the play allowed everyone to live happily ever after. i . tsififliB Speech and Music Festival After a long ride through sunshine and snow, the Valley bus made it to Ripon for the Speech and Music Festival. Valley was very successful again this year in both the speech and the music sections. The long trip was well worth it, as Valley came home with many awards. i ' ' J S AS Banquet The SAS Banquet is an annual banquet funded by the Scholastic Art Sponsors. It is held to honor those students who have achieved a B average or have re- ceived an award. A lot of hard work and plan- ning is put into the ban- quet and decorations. Congratulations go to the students and the sponsors for a fine eve- ning. iK r r 5 ' ! ' , E 67 The Undersea World of King Neptune Tlie Jiinior-Senior Banquet took a plunge into the deep sea and came upon Neptune ' s Kingdom. The beach and dock outside provided a romantic setting for all tlie interested couples. The Pirates of the sophomore class did an excellent job of ser ' ing die upperclassmen. Tim Rinker and Deanne Zonneveld, Master and Mistress of Ceremonies, led the program for the evening. The Rising Son, a Christian rock group, entertained with a variety of jokes and songs. Jim Walker and his Rubber Ducky were enjoyed by all. Pete Goedhart and Bev Koning were crowned King and Queen Neptune during the Funky Fisli Awards Ceremony. Tlie evening was a great success and a very memorable occasion. w - :i asii 68 r • ' •.-.•3 ' • ' ■ i-$ ' ■13 Student Government Day A total lack of interest, that ' s the only way to describe it, for Student Government Day almost did not exist this year. However, in a few rooms, the teacher temporarily bowed to the student. In all, the dav proved like any other and passed without too much concern. 70 Runathon On those Thursday and Friday nights in May, the Crusader track teemed with activity as hoards of kids swarmed around the oval in a gallant, breath-taking effort to raise money for the school. Those with long-distanced determination crawled across the finish line with dollar signs in their eyes. Those with short- ' • -- distanced determination tripped across the line screaming for oxygen. But whether 1 or 50 laps, the nights were a success. - . N..

Spring Concert All the choirs and the Crusader band per- formed at the annual Spring Concert. The girls of each choir were combined in one mass choir and sang Scarborough Fair. The band played and the flag girls per- formed for their last time. Once again, it was a great success and all did their very best. Senior Trip Leaving the Long Beach Airport at the unearthly hour of 6:30, the Senior class was finally on their way. They planned to visit Sac- ramento and San Francisco throughout the day. After arriving in San Francisco Airport at 7:45, they loaded onto two buses that would take them to the California capitol. Vhile visiting the Capitol, they toured the Capitol Building and listened to our Assemblyman and Senator speak about our state goverrunent. Vhile in Sacramento, a few girls even happened to find Governor Reagan ' s office and had a personal tour of the office by his secretary. After eating lunch, they headed back to San Francisco on the buses. Once in San Francisco they were on their own. They could visit the Cannery, Ghirar- delli Square, and China Town. At 9:00 they were back on tlie way to the airport. At 11:00 tliat night, they were back in Long Beach Airport safe and sound and very tired. 74 75 If Senior Mother ' s Tea On a beautiful Thursday afternoon, the seniors and their mothers came to the Chapel at Valley. The event- - the annual Senior -Mother ' s Tea sponsored by the sopho- more class. Each mother received a lovely corsage and enjoyed an afternoon chatting with her son ' s or daughter ' s classmates and mothers. The program con- sisted of a clarinet duet, piano solo, and reading. It was an afternoon full of fellowship as the senior class was gathered as a whole for one of the last times. In m M 76 G.A.A. Banquet The G.A.A. Banquet is an awards banquet for the girls in athletics. Every girl who participates receives recognition on that night. This year ' s banquet was again a night of fun and fellowship. Ellen Hilarides and Sharon Vander Plas played a clarinet duet and Bev Koning did a reading. Along with the announcement of the most valuable player awards, Susan Vander Kooi was chosen Outstanding Senior Athlete. Lettermans Banquet This year, Valley ' s athletes were honored on June 2, 1973. Parents and dates of the boys watched with open pride as the boys were ac- knowledged for p articipating in sports. The boys themselves voted for the most valuable player in each particular sport. The Letter- man ' s Banquet was another way of showing that the pain, sweat, and hard practices were not in vain. 4 ■■ 78 7-j,i«[ ' 7Tir LETTERMAN ' S BANQUET Co-Most Valuable Player - Football- Les Hogan and Forrest Dykstra Doug Vande Vegte Award - Arlin Koops and Greg Brands Most Valuable Player - Cross Country-Pete Goedhart Most Valuable Player - Basketball-Don Koolmees Most Valuable Player - Soccer-Les Hogan Most Valuable Player - Track-Les Hogan Most Valuable Player - Baseball - Don Koolmees Scholastic Athlete - Gerald Van Gessel Outstanding Senior Athlete - Forrest Dykstra 79 AWARDS ASSEMBLY June 4, 1973 1 .

Central College Athletic Scholarships- Bill Eskes Don Koolmees Forrest Dykstra Chapel and Special Assemblies Special assemblies are a relaxing break from the usual, everyday routine. This break usually came in the form of a college choir. One of the choirs came from Northwestern and moved us with sacred and secular music. Another form of special assemblies that came only twice this year was the movie. This year we viewed Mutiny on the Bounty and The Flim Flam Man. We thank the admin- istration and tlie Student Council for the occasional break. 81 Wacky Olympics The excitement rose as the Wacky Olympics began. Each class president ran with the traditional Olympic torch while David and Dan played the Olympic theme. Whether a person participated in the wheel -barrow race, three legged or sack race, frisbee throw, egg toss, pass-the- lifesaver-by-toothpick com- petition, or crawling-under-tlie hurdles race, he knew lie liad to do his very best. Witli the Seniors coming out aliead, every student at Valley will remember the great day of the Wacky Olympics. 82 ' ' JBP . .ii.3rtiiin ' «;7 ;; _j4 TTz Graduation The graduation ceremonies of the Class of 1973 were held in the beautiful sanctuary of the El Dorado Park Community Church. The graduates were led by Junior class escorts Harvey Saarloos and Barb Negen, as they marched down the aisles to the traditional Pomp and Circum- stance. Beverly Koning presented the valedic- torian address and Ann Bansberg had the saluta- torian honors. Rev. W. Ackerman, pastor of the First Christian Reformed Church of Bell- flower, urged the graduates to Walk in Love in his commencement address. 84 f w % i -jflHI ki L 85 IK; Move a chess piece, snap a picture . ..Ctufys are the excuse.

Student Council A typical student council meeting began with Forrest, our president, calling the meeting to order and asking a person to open with prayer. After prayer, our secretary, Jeannie, would finally show up and we would begin. There is no way one can explain fully what happens in a Student Council meeting or tell all that is discussed, but summing up this year ' s Student Council in one word would be- -chaos! Despite this chaos. Student Council has played an active part in breaking up the eveiryday routine of school life this past year. In addition to showing the movies, Mutiny on the Bounty and The Flim Flam Man, Student Council also sponsored a Nifty-Fifties Day, in which the student body recreated the 1950 ' s era in both dress and talk. h -, 88 ' - ' .r Nancy De Young, Lieutenant; Lois Anema, Captain; Mrs. Kuiper, Advisor. — •; -, l.. : -: Drill Team Drill Team is keeping in step, remembering the motions, selling an ' ' thing and ever ' iJiing, smil- ing, being nervous, winning second place in the Santa Fe Springs parade, smiling, being on T.V., performing at halftime shows, smiling when you don ' t make it, crying when you do, having fun, and more smiling. Valley ' s Drill Team was great this year. They won third place in the Artesia Parade, first place in the Bellflower Parade, and second place in the Santa Fe Springs Parade. Lois Anema did a fine job as captain, with Nancy De Young as the Lieutenant. The team showed pride and spirit as they marched on to win more and more trophies . Annual Staff Taking pictures, working late nights, writing and rewriting copy, headaches, and worries are all part of being on tiie annual staff. Under Miss Bakker ' s leader- ship, all the editors performed tlieir various duties. Julia was responsible for tlie ads; Louise ' s job was assigning and collecting copy; Ridi was responsible for taking and developing pictures; Howie took care of tlie sports pages; Tim did all the art work; and Susan, our Chief, made sure everything was put together, turned in, t qied, and layouts completed. Even though the work was hard and tiresome, it was also a year full of fun and good times as the 1973 Crusader was created.

Gazette Staff The Gazette staff tries to put out the paper at least once every month. Although this is not always the case, it is very enjoyable to both the students and the faculty when it does come out. 94 m Pep Club Aside from the partici- pants in athletics at games, there were on- lookers. Those who were Pep Club members at- tended all home games to give our teams their en- thusiasm and moral sup- port. This group of stu- dents put on pep rallies which entertained Valley with many skits and mock football or basket- ball games. They put up signs and posters and sold ribbons for each game. The school spirit was noticeably improved by the efforts put forth by the Pep Club. :i S ' ' ' . ■i 95 ' ' tS ' .JLi Chess club In room 22 during lunch, the chess club comes together to do their thing. Their thing is to conquer and defend on the checkered battleground. Each member ' s main goal is to cry Checkmate and to secure another victory. Though the chess club might not be as well publicized as other clubs, it is popular with under- classmen as well as juniors and seniors. 96 i i r !.iBr -•jiiJtjf ' -A 3ii Honor Society The individuals that belong to this organiza- tion could be classified as the brains of Valley. They enjoy many privileges such as the SAS Banquet, Honor Society Induction, and the annual field trip. This year they visited the Queen Mary and went to the movie Man of La Mancha. It is an organ- ization well worth working to become a part of. 97 Varsity Club The Varsity Club includes athletes who have lettered in one or more Varsity sports. Not only are the mem- bers athletes, but they help the spectators in another way. They sell programs and work in the canteen during basketball games. The money earned goes to buy new equipment for various sports. 98 Math Club The Math Club was very busy this year. The members supplied the students with either pie, cake, donuts, or cookies at least two times a week. In addition to having bake sales, they also sold posters and hot dogs. They raised over one thou- sand dollars during the year for the com- puter. 99 Band Parents Once again the Band Parents were helpful to the Band. They held their traditional Soup and Pie Supper. With the $1300 that was raised they were able to buy more shoes and spats, pay for the new and glitter- ing Identification Unit, and build a trophy case to display the band ' s many awards. The Band Parents were also helpful with the many parades in which the Band participated. They were always present to brush down the uniforms and the hats and to polish up the shoes. All in all they have proven themselves to be a great asset to the Band. i Booster Club The Booster Club is a great help to the Athletic Department at Valley. They sponsored the football barbecue plus the annual Christmas Tournament to raise money for needed sports equipment. The climax of the Booster Club ' s work was again the annual Letterman ' s Banquet. Valley would not have such a fine athletic program without the help of the Booster Club. 100 % Mother ' s Club Mother ' s Club is helpful to the school in many ways. They helped in buying the computer, all the smdents and schools with the paper drives, organized the Fall Festival, sponsored the Spring Flower Show, and sup- plied the students with hot lunches. We thank the Mother ' s Club for all it ' s help. 101 .-SCT?, gMragj vft-j.! .vawra A • ' J 1 ' 1 I In Him we have our being ... We learn, read, and write; talk, joke, and pray - all in classes. They make up the major part of Valley, its entire cirriculum, its whole program. J Bible is . . . . . . remembering all those passages; learn- ing the difference between interpretation, denomination, and sect; knowing the differ- ent practices of the Ammish; memorizing Lord ' s Day I; and struggling through Rev. Boertje ' s mid-term exam. Bible is also an important part of the cur- riculum and students ' life at Valley. MJ y yjLtU y i ' UfU jMm J . m I] Science is, . . . figuring out the force of an object; dissecting a worm, crayfish, and fetal ;. pig; doing experiments in chemistr) and not under- standing what you are do- ing; watching movies in ' ' ' general science; and re- membering the reproduc- tive organs of a frog. o-iZ iX- yL!iu t jS. atjU C Science is just another necessity of our civiliza- tion and is taught to pre- pare the students for to- day ' s progress. ' llii yy-y-L: Language Study is . . . . . .a quiz in German every Friday; writing- plays; giving a speech to inform; learning the differences betu ' een a predicate nominative and a conjunction; making iiome movies; visiting the language lab during Spanish; getting a B on your 10-minute exam speech; remembering your lines for drama; and Auf Wiedersehen . Language is communication and a way to ex- press our feelings and thoughts. 106 Sfld w-i Cd Xw Si ' l„ 107 Social Studies is. . remembering the date of Napoleon ' s birth, taking notes un- til your fingers ache, filling your Davis cards, watching movies of World War II, memorizing all the presidents, t ' ping your report un- til 2:00 A. M, ' , knowing the dif- ference between the Executive and Judicial branches of the govern- ment, and hoping you pass Mr. Van Hulzen ' s test! Social studies can help each stu- dent realize the kind of country he belongs to by giving liim facts of past occurences. T ■■■ - r k J tfQ Math is . . , . . . drawing a right triangle with a com- pass and protracter; finding y if x=6; play- ing with the computer; doing Chapters 15 and 16 on your own; working in your prac- tice book; and hoping you pass. Math is also an essential part of our modern world. We get just a glimpse of the world of math in our courses at Valley. 109 Vocational Arts Vocational Arts involve Home Economics, Physical Education, Business, and the library. Home Ec. is. . . sewing a straight seam, real- izing boiling water is not very hard after all, and ripping out a zipper. P. E, is... trying to be a gymnast, taking showers, and working on the weight machine. Business is. . . Hoping your books balance, taking a time test, and learn- ing how to work an adding machine. Library is. . . books, books, and more books, paying a fine for overdue dues, and Miss Pounds tone. Each of these constitute a big part of the student ' s life for physical and mental develop- ment. • n no k ' 5 r Choirs The choirs at Valley consist of the Girl ' s Chorus, the Concert Choir, and the A Cappella choir. Each choir performed at the Fall, Christmas, and Spring Con- certs. The A Cappella per- formed at several churches throughout the year and had its own concert in May. Un- der the fine directorship of Mr. Clousing, the choirs were enjoyed by both the participants and the listeners. dJ Miii . by| - Band The band is Mr. De Young ' s pride and joy, especially after they won the Sweepstakes trophy at the Santa Fe Springs Parade, Each member practices long and hard as he gets ready to either march in a parade or perform at a concert. This year, the band was invited to march in the Long Beach Band Review. Al- though they did not place, the expe- rience provided a hope for better things to come. 113 In Him we live and move and have our being. . .even In athletic competition. For the Valley runner, kicker, catcher, or ball carrier, the statement stuck. A nd even through the tumviltuous cries of victory or the silent despair of defeat the individual recognized the plain fact of his dependence on God. . . no matter what the score. « ty m. ■mM ,j-.

The agony of defeat Running two miles in under ten minutes to many of us may seem impossible, but this is what cross country requires of a runner. This season ' s team started off with a win, but went down hill from then on, resulting in a 1-6 season. They just couldn ' t pull through the meets, often held in bad weather conditions like rain or sand blizzards. 116 Pater Xoster Valley 17 Opp 33 Chaminade 29 27 Harvard 36 20 Paraclete 45 15 La Salle 50 15 Ball Jeff 45 15 Lutheran 45 15 (Lower score wins) 117 They broke the jinx After not winning one game for the past two years, this football season was quite an experience. Our team took league with a 5-0 record and an over-all record of 8-3. Late in the season, the league title was open only to two undefeated teams, Valley Christian and Lutheran. Finally the big match came - Valley vs. Lutheran - for the league title. Our team, battling it out in pour- ing rain on a muddy field, came out victorious. We later went on to play two rounds of the C.l. F. Playoffs. This year we had many league nominations, too.

They not only per- formed admirably during half-time shows in football and basketball season, but also marched in parades behind the band. They showed their spirit by cheering right behind the cheerleaders during football season. Their ability to twirl their flags in many different ways was learned by going to summer camp.
