In all thy ways acknowledge Him,' and He shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3 :6 Foreword As students and faculty of Western Michigan Christian High, our goal has been to acknowledge God in our chapel services, in our classes, and in our activities. Through another year we have seen God's direction in a changing scientific world, but more personally in our own lives. His guidance should have become very meaningful to us. The obiective of the 1958 TORCH is to point out direction - God's direction to us living in the age of Sputniks and satellites, and the direction of our faith looking ever upward to acknowledge Him. At 8:30 each morning, students and faculty pause for a time of worship and praise M before beginning their busy schedules. ll 'Z 1 IO .2 q 3 4 7 5 After an opening hymn, all eyes turn to the speaker.

A study of the Old and New Testaments gives a deeper understanding of God's Word and new applications for young lives. The founding and growth of the Christian faith studied in church history creates a greater appreciation of our heritage. As students gain a more complete knowledge of what they believe from the senior doctrine course, their faith gains new meaning. Thus, the faith of our fathers becomes our faith, Counting The Cost From dots and dashes to asdfplki - this is our course in how to win jobs and influence bosses. Mr. Lanning has been training young people for positions in the business world through typing, bookkeeping, and shorthand. To become proficient in business skills, we had to learn the value of accuracy. We were taught to think logically, act responsibly, and count the cost of inefficiency if we would become competent workers. We realize, as students at Christian High, that God wants secretaries and bookkeepers as well as workers in other fields. The Christian should try to absorb every sphere of life in order that all the world may hear and know of Him. MR. ARTHUR LANNING Ph.B. Bookkeeping, Secretarial Science MR. TED MC FALL Latin, Mathematics MISS MARGIE KALLEMEYN English, Latin O, For l,00O Tongues Hic, haec, hoc, huius, huius, huius . . . students frantically recite to one another outside the door of the Latin room on big test days. They long for fluency in one language, let alone nine hundred ninety-nine others! Learning the primary fundamentals of 'first year Latin provides the background for a detailed study of Caesar and his Gallic Wars lalthough adven- tures of the United States Marines often creep inl. Nevertheless, our foundation in Latin grammar and vocabulary helps us in our everyday use of the English language. l I2 Open Mine Eyes That l May See Truly our eyes have been opened to see God through the beauty of language and poetry in our English department this year. Miss Kallemeyn, Mr. Boerman, and Mr. Meeter have not only given us a useful knowledge of English, but have shown us the underlying glimpses of truth in literature. MR. VERNON BOERMAN A.B., A.M. English, Social Science MR. MERLE MEETER English, Speech Through the eyes ofthe stage manager, the char- acters in Our Town conveyed to us a realistic view of life. The study of Macbeth has made us more aware of the problems of right and wrong facing Christian young people each day. J 13 This ls My Father's World ln this modern era, a well-rounded knowledge of science is extremely important. The development of this knowledge is begun in general science when Miss Drew gives the students a broad view of the whole field of science. This knowledge becomes more detailed when the whole of science is divided into the organic and inorganic fields. Through biology, Mr. Walcott shows how wonder- 14 MR. VERNON NYHOFF B.S., M.S. Inorganic Science Mathematics MR. ELMER WALCOTT A.B., A.M. Organic Science, Sociology, Sports fully God created all living things - especially the crown of His creation, man. Mr. Nyhoff shows in the chemistry laboratory how all matter is made according to a definite plan, even down to the minutest particle of an atom, and explains in physics, the working of the forces of the universe and their practical usage. From our studies in science, our Father's world becomes more meaningful to us. MISS BEVERLY DREW B.S. Home Economics, General Science REV. CLARENCE A. HESSELINK A.B., B.D.

In Ages Past The history courses take us from the early Egyptians to the accomplishments of the Greeks and Romans to the struggles and growth of the United States. We have studied the unfolding of His story through a period of several thousand years. Looking at history as maturing Christian citizens, we learn from the experience and example of others in ages past. A course in economic geography, taught by Mrs. Betty Jasper, was added to our curriculum in the second semester. Our studies in government and social problems taught us of man and his way of life in the present age. MRS. JOHN VAN HEMERT A.B. Music, Social Science MRS. BETTY JASPER A.B. Economic Geography MR. M.

Juniors and seniors bravely tackling trig and solid geometry, sophomores attempting to prove a complicated theorem, and freshmen struggling with az and b', are all symbolic ofthe broad subiect - mathematics. From our study of mathematics we have learned to work with numbers and symbols. It seems like a wonder when the correct answer appears at the end of a lengthy problem. Still, we have learned to think logically. Above all else, math has taught many of us to appreciate more 'Fully the precision and the symmetry of God's handiwork. Yes, mathematics is a wonder!

The Priscilla P.T.A. congratulates the graduating class of 1958 and extends their wish for future success. As you have progressed through the various stages of your edu- cation, we have helped the Christian schools with material gifts and have tried to promote better cooperation and understanding between parents and teachers. We thank the students for their assistance in our fund-raising proiects and for their participation in our monthly programs. May it please God to bless our organization as we with faith and trust in Him, continue our part in advancing Christian education. Sincerely, Priscilla P.T.A.

Let's hear that first note, in the third measure of the second bar once again - with the basses a bit louder. As the year went on, the task of im- proving notes, tempo, and accents became exacting until all minute detail was perfected. Singing in the St, Matthew's Passion and participating in the annual choral contest rewarded the hard efforts of the choir. From the first note of the Christmas candlelight concert to the final chord of the graduation anthem, voices blended as hearts were in tune to testify of the Saviour. Band Under the enthusiastic direction of Mrs. Van Hemert, our marching band made its debut in local parades this year and participated in the annual Tulip Time parade. The high- light of the year was the spring concert given in conjunction with the choir. The band also sponsored a pancake supper to finance new marching equipment. . 4 CLARINETS Sharon Van Dyke Arlyn Achferhof Marilyn Zuidema Mary Klouw Barbara Bishop Peler Myers Phil Tiapkes Nancy Dekker Wayne Bishop John De Baer CORNETS Russ Slerenberg Phil Hollar Bill Dykema Bill leulscher Dan Zuidema Jay Milkamp Esther Brondyke FRENCH HORNS Pat Workman Mary Anne Schuur Dale Poel Nancy Delers TROMBONES Jim Brondyke Mark Holwerda Edgar Hall Paul Veltkamp FLUTES Charlynne Heeres Lois Veenstra Ellen Yurick Ruih Fisher lois Vlasma SAXOPHONES Joysene Schuilema Sally Kolh Ruth Vanderlaan Mary Rilsema Chris Garvelink Janice Weesies BARITONES Norm Vander Wel Tom Broersma Jim Achterhof BASSES Bob Keessen Ron Bytwerk PERCUSSION Donna De Wall Warren Vander Wel Chuck Dykema Karen Hoekslra DIRECTOR Mrs. John Van Hemerl First Row: Warren Vander Wel, Chuck Dykema, Ruth Vanderlaan, Donna De Wall, lois Vlasmo, Lois Veenstra, Charlynne Heeres.

Future Accountants I I To broaden their experience, the members of F.A.A. have taken an active part in the club. ln the fall, they were guests at a banquet given by the A.S.W.A. while in January the members played host to accounting clubs of area high schools. Tours through several offices gave the students a prac- tical view of the skills required to enter the business world. Carol Fisher, Rhoda Dobben, Sharon Dewind.

Future Nurses Good planning is an essential of the well organized F.N.A. meetings. Mrs. Carl Van Dam and Mrs. Simon Workman, sponsors of the club, meet to prepare materials for the next meeting. The chief obiective of the Future Nurses Club is to encourage nursing as an interesting and challenging career. Students from the Hackley Hospital School of Nursing spoke to the group about basic training require- ments. The girls made favors for the hospi- tals and presided at the annual Christmas tea given for their mothers. Also included in the year's activities was a baby bath demonstration, giving the girls opportunity to observe firsthand a practical phase of their chosen profession. As the twig is bent, the tree's inclined. What a challenge this provides for our future Christian teachers! Realizing the teacher's influence upon young lives, the club members endeavor to bet- ter prepare themselves for service in this field. Through film strips, informal discussions, and work at the grade school, they gained much valuable experience. As shown by these club members, important parts of teaching are knowing the facts and learning to help each other.

By careful analysis of many great compositions, the members enriched their knowl- edge and increased their appreciation of classical mood and style. 38 Drama Club as The purpose of the newly organized Drama Club is to give inter- ested students the opportunity of putting their acting abilities to good use. They displayed their talents by presenting a Christmas pageant for the student body and the Priscilla P.T.A.

Veltkamp summed up our thoughts as he pointed out that we can truly be thankful for this addition. However, we must never substitute brown for brain or sport for spirit. The first home game played in our gym marked the beginning of its use for many diversified activities now and in the years to come. ihey also serve who only sit and wait. Going up!

He was a freshman at Christian High, and although a student here only three months, many of us knew Jim as a friend and classmate. It is often difficult to accept God's will in the death of a fellow student. Yet we have this comfort: God knows the way, He holds the key, He guides us with unerring handy Sometime with tearless eye we'll seep Yes, there, up there, we'll understand. Principal's Message You, the graduating class of l958, have successfully completed a great step forward in preparing yourselves for the many opportunities that lie ahead. You may be proud of your achievements during the last four years at Western Michigan Christian High. Carry with you the Christian principles and the love for God which you have come to know as students here. As you take your place in life, may the knowledge you have gained here help you to attain the goals you set for yourselves. Remember, too, when you set these goals, that your life belongs to Christ and all things must be done to the honor and glory of His name, Ask for His guidance in all that you undertake throughout your life in order that you may be a guiding light to others, God bless you always, 51- fini 7K F X, 1 5 . Graduates rf But one thing I do, forgetting the things whirh are behind, and stretching forward to the things whirh are before, I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ .Iesus.

SUMMA CUM LAUDE Donna De Wall Gordon De Wall Chorlynne Heeres Mary Anne Schuur Nancy Slerenberg The end of this book symbolizes the end of another school year. For the seniors it symbolizes the end of an important period of Christian training. As we look back we see God's direction evidenced in the past.
