HOPE GRADUATE GIVES O P E N ING ADDRESS Chapel and Y. M. Room Crowded The spritely spirits of joy and gladness again invaded Hope Campus, f o r smiling faces*were seen ev erywhere as f r i e n d met friend to talk about things t h a t had happened and had not happened It was also a joy to see the beaming faces of the new students who were desirous of sharing the good old Hope spirit and of preparing themselves for a place in the realm of service. This pleasant atmosphere was ideal f o r the opening day as it extended into the opening exercises in Winants Chapel. Q n e could not help feeling t h a t he was drawn into a big family where the ties of love were strong. President Dimnent in his words of welcome expressed this same sentiment when he welcomed all new Hopeites into Hope's family circle. He said t h a t there was a certain Hope spirit, which he could not define but which everyone felt.. It could not be found anywhere else but on the Hope Campus and, indeed, we are happy of being possess o r s of such p fine spirit, f o r it f a d i ates the world over. We were especially glad to have with us Rev. John Van Peursem of the F i r s t Reformed Church of Zeeland, wiho delivered the opening address. He gave an inspiring address and the t r u t h s which he brought out left their impression. He beautifully portrayed to us the life of Daniel, who rose f r o m the low ranks of slavery to the highest place in' the land. He also drew a lesson f r o m this g r e a t Bible character, speaking of the innocence w-hich was f o u n d in Daniel and how this strengthened his life. Innocence is a great mighty challenging f o r c e in life and it is a virtue t h a t resides within. The origin of this g r e a t power, which was possessed by Daniel, could be traced to his prayer habit, for thereby he was brought into close companionship with God. And from this noble character, we, too, can learn a big lesson in t h a t we should keep u p our devotions and keep our hearts alive toward God. All truth asks f o r is a chance in the life of men and women and as Reverend Van Peursem said, it needs everyone of us. "He who finds victory with God in the upper chamber, inevitably, finds vict o r y with Daniel in the lion's den, • whatever may be the name of the lion." The Hope College orchestra has again organized f o r work under the direction of Mr. Tuller of Grand Rapids. From all signs the year holds the promise of g r e a t success. Where Did He Come From? As the crowd was nearing the top of observatory hill, the domes of Yerkes loomed up one by one over the top. A1 V. D. Berg awed by their massiveness—"Gee, these f a r m e r s got big Silos!"
It's never too late to s t a r t something new. The Joint Reception of the Y. Association is always the big college social event of the year. But this time there was no handshaking and bowing f o r such things j u s t don't happen at a beach party. P o r the Y. Cabinets had decided t h a t an informal affair would be worth t r y i n g out. So Wednesday at 5 o'clock two special cars carried the college en masse to its first big party. The new students found t h a t long years ago Mother Nature had scooped out a huge sand hollow f o r the particular benefit of Hope weenie-roasters. The call to supper through Si's megaphone was answered with a rush by the hungry crowd. Half-adozen fires provided enough roasting places to satisfy the hungriest. The after-supper performers by the different class groups were t h e best p a r t of the program. The slopes provided a natural amphitheatre which showed off to J he best possible advantage all the histronic and stunt ability of the best small college in the states. Hope songs and Hope yells echoed round the hollow. Nine o'clock car time brot the end of a perfect day. No casualties were reported beyond a crack in the cable, a few sprained muscles, and a slight depopulation of the woods where the weenie sticks were gathered. The event proved an acceptable 'fore-riftiiiei of xhe n i o r ^ i o m i a i aftah^ that is rumored is to occur later. All college affairs can be successes. They make f o r true college spirit. May we have more of t h e m !

Like a winding, wriggling snake See them follow one by one As forever on they come With a care-free, smiling face. Such was somewhat-the case when the Frosh opened the Urst mass meeting by single-filing to their respective chapel seats. Next they cheered and then the lid was off—Juniors, Sophs and Seniors trying to surpass each other in the volume of their yells nearly raised tlfe shingles. There was a slight disappointment, owing to the f a c t that the student council, books having not yet been unearthed, the freshmen rules could not be read. However, the speakers with their words of welcome covered up all disapointment and stirred up enough college pep to last until Christmas. Midge Do Young welcomed the freshmen co-eds. Being more or less influenced by S. G. A. instructions she could not r e f r a i n from welcoming the man-ly frosh also.
