Several interesting suggestions have been made concerning a prize short-story contest to be conducted in connection with Miss. L. Fulmer's short-story course. A prize for the o u t s t a n d i n g creation in this branch of literature would be a worthy addition to our scholastic inspirations. Such an inducement would stimulate interest in writing, and help to develop student talent. The winning story could be used as an important feature in the "Anchor." ' The big problem, however, is to obtain a donation for the prize money. Here is a r a r e opportunity for some friend of Hope to show his or her interest in literary advancement upon the campus. U p to this time we can only announce t h a t the contest will be held, centering about the storycourse. A prize is being solicited by the English Department. All talented a u t h o r s and w r i t e r s m a y sharpen their pencils.
Compilation of Events T h a t Took Place During Dedication Last J u n e
WINDOWS PICTURED The students of the college will have the opportunity this week to purchase one of the new Chapel Books being published, the volume being replete with the f e a t u r e s of the Memorial Chapel. Illustrated with pictures of many of the windows, the book is paper bound, and includes all of the events in detail that took place in connection with the Chapel dedication last June. I t has been printed on a high grade of paper at the plant of Steketee-Van Huis of this city. I t will be made available to the students this week, large number to be mailed out later to donors of the building and to prominent alumni of the college. To increase the student interest in the book itself, a s well as in the sale, a plan has been evolved by which the T r e a s u r y of the Athletic Board is to receive one-half of the proceeds of the campus sale of the book. The price, which will be nominal, will permit each Hopeite to own several copies, since the folks back home will be just as interested in seeing the book as will the student in adding it to his souvenirs. Dr. E. Dimnent, who has been directing the compilation of the book, reports t h a t libraries and groups of note in various portions of the country have been requesting a copy of it. The book will toe placed in each of the l a r g e r college libraries of the nation. Announcement will be made on the bulletin boards concerning the campus sale, this week. A strong student sale is urged as everyone wishes to aid the athletic association.

Monday night. Miss Watonobe's talk dealt particularly with the young people of her country and t h e i r work. She spoke especially about the Y.W.C.A. in her country and the influence which the association had in the Christian activities of the girls of J a p a n . Alexander Leads The Y.M.C.A. meeting this week w a s held on Monday because of the conflict of the Calvin game last night. Gordon Alexander, f r e s h man, of New York, led the meeting and discussion on the subject " W h a t I f ? " placing his chief " W h a t I f " in " W h a t if the students of Hope College were loyal to the principles of Hope's C a m p u s ? " "There would be three distinct results," he said, "first to the student himself, then to the student body, and finally to the world a t large." He stated t h e two main principles as being "To make Christ King of the Campus," and to "Do God's Will." —

Prof. Welmers Heads Course in Dutch A studious class of twelve men, who boast of " t r u e Hollandish blood," meets f o u r times a week under the leadership of Professor Welmers. The aim of the course is to gave those, who have some command of the Dutch language, a better knowledge of the g r a m m a r and the ability to speak Dutch fluently. The text book selected by Mr. Welmers is "Gereformeerde Prediking" (best pronounced by beginning with a sneeze or a cough) which being interpreted is "Reformed Preaching." Fr e d Wyngarden (there comes his name again) erstwhile s t a r of gridiron and court, bids f a i r to be the Dutch star. It is s u r p r i s i n g how well Fred enunciates these long Dutch words. Reports f r o m the Knick house are to the effect t h a t Fred says some suspicious sounding words in his sleep every n i g h t We think it may be traced to the Dutch class.
Big Valentine Party Attended by Ladies Annual Event Usually Held By Mrs. G. J . Diekema The annual Valentine's Day Tea f o r senior girls, women of the f a c ulty, and professor's wives was held last F r i d a y a t the home of Mrs. W. Olive, 268 Maple Avenue. Due to the absence of Mrs. G. J . diekema, now a t The Hague, Netherlands, the p a r t y was given by Mrs. Olive so t h a t this yearly social event might continue. I t is said that the senior girls were glad to have an opportunity to w e a r their new long dresses. Rreshments carrying out the Valentine t h e m e were t a s t e f u l l y served. T The Milestone editor arranged to have a picture taken of the e v e n t Thus will purchasers of this year's annual possess a permanent souvenir of the occasion.
Practical Paper Work Attracts Hope Friend Cynthia Palmer, former Anchor reporter, and one of the best members of last year's staff, is enjoying the diverse pleasures of the course in Journalism which she is studying at New J e r s e y College f o r Women. In a recent letter to one of her f o r m e r class-mates. Cynthia recounts t h e tale of h e r most interesting class. The class room is in the guise of a newspaper office, and the men of the course, sit with their feet upon the tables in t h e city-room, quite a t ease. Every day t h e students a r e coupled off and sent about town f o r their "scoops."'
