DEDICATION We admire some; we respect others; we love a few. In the hearts of all those who have met him, whether it has been socially or in the classroom, Dr. Patterson

holds the supreme

position.

It is therefore with a sense of privilege that we, the class of 1923, dedicate this 1922

MILESTONE

to one who has served

our Alma Mater so faithfully,— DR. FRANK

N.

PATTERSON

A Message of the Alumni to the Institution F i f t y - s i x years ago the pioneer class of eight members graduated, of whom the writer and Rev. Gerrit Dangremond,—the oldest of the two,—survive. T h e sons and daughters of H o p e have become a numerous, influential and widely dispersed family. T h e MILESTONE E d i t o r s invite "the oldest a l u m n u s " to write the message of the Alumni to the school. Although without consultation of that w o r t h y body, and not claiming authority to represent it, the writer ventures to voice their gratitude f o r being thus kindly remembered in this publication. T o respect age, m a t u r e characters, and wide experience is a promising trait of youth. F r o m wide fields of service in various capacities come earnest voices of greeting to our Beloved Alma Mater. In 1866 the Institution w a s a pious hope, which by its sound development and the consecrated and efficient service of its sons and daughters has long since, with the f a v o r of God, become a g r a n d reality. T h e Alumni congratulate the entire body of students, who now appreciate their training in this Institution of rank and reputation f o r its Christian character, its t h o r o u g h work, and its highly creditable achievements. H o n o r i n g the m e m o r y of the founders, and to the present maintaining constituency, and to you prospective additions to fine brotherhood and sisterhood of graduates, the Alumni assure an abiding and p r a y e r f u l interest. W h a t e v e r f r u i t f u l labors we have p e r f o r m e d f o r Church, Society, and State, we appeal to you to surpass this record of the p a s t ! And for those who govern and direct, and instruct, and f o r you who resort to these halls of learning and mental discipline, we invoke Divine guidance and blessing. P.

SOPHOMORE CLASS W i t h the welcome of a new day for Hope, the triumphant Sophomores returned and flung wide their royal banner over its verdant campus. In keeping with our all victorious past, we have sunk the hopes of still another class in the muddy waters of Black River. Thanks to the iron hand of the Sophomore Class we have f u r t h e r humiliated the credulous Freshmen. Never before with such regularity and profusion has the green cap dotted our campus. But above all, we have answered the challenge of true Hopeites by taking a formidable place in the activities of the school. In athletics we have taken a royal stand. In Forensics and scholastic endeavors our class is upholding the standards already so nobly attained. Composed of members with ability and unquestionable industry, we have sought ever to follow our watchword "Victory." And as the days of our sojourn here dwindle, we will strive to erect a true and living Milestone in the History of Old Hope, on which, when the last sunset shall usher out the class of '24, we hope that the glorious flush of light may illumine the graven word "Victory."

FRESHMAN CLASS H e a r Ye ! H e a r Y e ! The best class in the history of Hope College has enrolled ! Such might have been the sentiments of Dr. Dimnent, if he had been gifted with prophetic power, as he looked over the "verdant section" in W i n a n t s Chapel September 21, 1921 and said: " L o r d , how they have increased that trouble me." T r u l y they had increased, f o r onrs is the largest class that has evered entered Hope. However, quantity is not the only thing in which we excel. The pep and enthusiasm with which the Freshmen entered the campus activities are proof enough of our quality. In athletics, superior ability has been shown. W e are represented by five men on the first team in basketball. And not only in athletics but in the various organizations of the college the Freshman Class is figuring prominently. Shouldering the responsibility which every loyal Hopeite should feel it his duty to assume, we the Class of 1925, working together, look f o r w a r d to three more years of college life, just as happy and successful as this first year has been. And may we, as we execute the duties which our Sophomore, Junior and Senior years bring us, always be filled with determination to make Hope College better f o r our having been there.

Y. W. G. A. T h e Y. W . C. A. organization at H o p e is the greatest training school in Christian w o m a n h o o d on the campus. In a co-educational school where many interests are shared in common with the men there is need of j u s t such an organization. A s it is the M a s t e r who has exalted true w o m a n h o o d to the position of responsibility and influence it must now maintain, it is the H o p e girls' desire to possess that m o r e abundant life which H e has promised her. This is sought in the varied activities of the association. T h e weekly devotional h o u r is the common meeting g r o u n d f o r girls f r o m all classes and societies. T h e r e is a similarity in needs and aspirations that m a k e s them all feel one. T h e r e g u l a r p r o g r a m of activities has been carried on as in f o r m e r years, including the s u m m e r E i g h t W e e k s Clubs, various Mission S t u d y classes, the College week of P r a y e r , Christmas g i f t s to the mission schools where f o r m e r H o p e girls a r e working, the support of a secretary in J a p a n , S u n d a y School teaching, and a share in the H o p e H i g h School drive. D u r i n g the early spring the Y. W . joined with the Y. M. in effecting' the organization of an Association L nion. A s the a b u n d a n t life touches every point of a girl's interest, the Y. W . does not overlook physical and social t r a i n i n g but has provided in various ways f o r both of these t h r u o u t the year. O n e g r a t i f y i n g f e a t u r e is the very large percentage of membership. Almost eighty new girls signed the purpose cards in the fall. T h e H o p e Y. W . C. A. has a big responsibility and a big opportunity and it is t r y i n g to live up to both.

Y. M. C. A. T h e Y o u n g Men's Christian Association of H o p e College is the most influential organization upon the campus. E v e r y T u e s d a y evening the men of the school gather to e n j o y a quiet h o u r of fellowship and prayer with God. It is the place where Senior and " D " meet in a common endeavor, where everyone tries to help everybody else to a closer walk with God and to a p u r e r Christian life, and where everyone feels the g r a s p of the friendly hand. T h e purpose of the " Y " is to make Christ, "the K i n g of the Campus." Every m a n feels the power of Christian love, the strength of conservation, the noble efforts f o r moral and spiritual attainment which the " Y " so finely represents. Its influence is felt not only on the campus but is felt f u r t h e r in the A n n u a l W e e k of P r a y e r , the Gospel T e a m s , the S u n d a y Schools, and in the support of the principal of H o p e H i g h School in India. T h e w e l f a r e of the "V ' is looked a f t e r by the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, composed of a president, vice-president, secretary and t r e a s u r e r and eight committee chairmen. Once a week they meet to discuss the needs, to plan the w o r k and to pray f o r the success of the organization. Tliese meetings are largely responsible f o r the Christian character of the cabinet members and f o r their influence in leading and guiding others to Christ. It is to these noble efforts of the Cabinet that the ' \ is so deeply indebted f o r the splendid work accomplished this year.

THE HOME VOLUNTEERS The college year 1921-22 brought with it a new organization upon the Campus. T h e r e had been felt among the men who were planning to enter the ministry, a great need f o r a union of hearts and minds in the fellowship of an organization. A few Senior men called a meeting of those who were interested, and some thirty responded. Dr. Dimnent was at the meeting and gave suggestions f o r organization. Various outside men have addressed the H o m e Volunteers upon subjects of peculiar interest to them. Now and again these meetings are interspersed with a purely devotional meeting in which the men express their thoughts as to the profession they have chosen for life. T h e club meets every Friday a f t e r n o o n f o r one hour. Its purpose is to keep alive the ideals of the m e n ; to arouse interest in the problems of the church in our own country; and to inspire members with devotion and loyalty to the Christ of the Cross.

STUDENT VOLUNTEER BAND " T h e Evangelization of tile world in this generation." W h a t a f a r cry f r o m the limited outlook of our ancestors and their superstitious d r e a d of all beyond the n a r r o w confines of their k n o w n territory 1 S t a n d a r d s of thought have advanced slowly but certainly f r o m parochial to national t e r m s and now we a r e witnessing still g r e a t e r p r o g r e s s to international terms. "A neighborhood of nations" is evolving! In this new relationship each nation has its own problems, all so strangely alike in the last analysis, however, and each nation has its own characteristic contribution to m a k e to the general w e l f a r e without which no other nation can attain its own full " m e a s u r e of stature." Christian nations have a unique responsibility in this respect in that they alone possess the secret of m a k i n g the vast relationship a friendly one. T h e Student Volunteer is an expression of this, altho at first glance its accomplishment seems almost impossible. Still when we consider this new international consciousness, the problem assumes more reasonable proportion. It is only because God lias chosen to c a r r y out his plans t h r u h u m a n channels and these needed channels have become terminals, not open to His control, that the accomplishment has been delayed this long. Loss of vitality of Christianity itself has always followed a too selfish g u a r d i n g of it. A m e r i c a by s h a r i n g her most priceless possession is losing her life but to save it. She realizes that her own is not the only interpretation that represents Christianity, that in many cases she is r a t h e r making a failure of it, and that the torch must be passed on in order that the light itself may be given new life. It is t h r o u g h the characteristic interpretations that result f r o m the adaption of Christianity to various types of mind that the power of Christianity is realized in its completeness. It takes all the colors in the great spectrum of h u m a n i t y to make up the white light of Christianity. A s color is the absence of some other colored constituents of the spectrum so the interpretation of one people alone can never show Christianity in its true light. T h a t light is not complete without all its components. It is the privilege of A m e r i c a ' s foreign missionaries to be the medium t h r u which this most i m p o r t a n t of international obligations is discharged, to act as interpreters in the best sense, between nations and thus to f u r n i s h the avenue of expression truest to America's real self. T h e S t u d e n t Volunteers have enlisted in the work of f u r t h e r i n g the development of this m o r a l f o u n d a t i o n without the basis of which present day internationalism will result in hopeless disaster.

ULFILAS CLUB "Als een H o l l a n d e r vvat begint, ziet men zoo spoedig niet het einde d a a r v a n . " OTganized more than twenty years ago, the Ullilas Club, although temporarily disbanded f o r several years due to the war, still exists in the interests of those students who desire to master the Dutch language and to converse fluently in the tongue of their f o r e f a t h e r s . T h e Ulfilas Club holds sacred the traditions and ideals of the f o u n d e r s of this institution. Its very existence is proof of this fact. It aims to perpetuate the Dutch! language a m o n g the students and thus to prepare them better either to preach the Gospel in later life a m o n g the still n u m e r o u s Dutch adherents of our denomination, or to champion the cause of our Dutch people in civil life. In the public p r o g r a m given at the end of every year the Ulfilas Club has always shown itself to be a real live organization w o r t h y of a place on Hope's campus.

DELPHI SOCIETY In ancient Greece when men their f a t e would know , T o Delphi's sacred shrine they'd o f t repair, F o r Pythia, t h r u the vaporous trident smoke. Gave prophecy of hope or dark despair. In many a m u s t y tomb you still may read T h e mystic a n s w e r s h e a r d by men of old ; But w o n d r o u s most of all, this oracle I found, W h i c h baffled Graecia's wits f o r years untold. " L o n g ages hence, w h e n men and things are altered quite. T h e name of Delphi u n r e p r o a c h e d will stand. A n d foreign maidens seeking knowledge' glowing light Will firm unite in loyal, H o p e f u l band. Athene, goddess bright of wisdom, they will choose A s p a t r o n deity, n o r will they tho'tless scorn O u r Aphrodite's c h a r m f o r m u t u a l love and joy. W h i l e womanly graces kind f r o m H e s t i a they'll learn. T h e M u s e s they'll invoke in melody's behalf. A s m a n y a golden hour in memory's golden chain Will f o r g e d b e ; and Delphi maidens scattered f a r and wide Will spread abroad this creed in Delphi's name." F r o m drowsing o'er this book of ancient lore I w o k e — a n d f o u n d 'twas m o r e t h a n dream. OFFICERS

KNICKERBOCKER SOCIETY In the heart of every college man is a desire for good fellowship to be enjoyed in an atmosphere that bespeaks of culture and refinement.

He desires

to gain an intellectual grasp of the problems that confront him, without immersing himself completely in it and losing his moral identity. Above all, he wishes to give of his best to his Alma Mater and in such an atmosphere he finds his best incentive to do so. The Knickerbocker Society has been and still is an answer to the desires of such men on the Hope campus.

JOHN

H. SCHOUTEN,

COACH

Within the past three years a revival has occurred in Hope athletics. There have been more than the ordinary number of players in most lines and a general interest has been stimulated throughout the student body. Class athletics and individual contests are on the increase, proving that the primary purpose of Coach Schouten is not a few well developed athletes, but a good healthful studentry. The instruction given the Freshmen class along the lines of right living, is Worthy of the highest commendation. Hope is duly proud of Jack, because he is proud of her. H e spends his best efforts and time in making better men and women of the Hopeites. Last summer our Coach spent his time studying at the Wisconsin University. In the coming summer he intends to go to the University of Michigan to learn more about physical training. W e are glad he will return to Hope next fall, ready for another steady grind.

BASKETBALL . T h e basketball season of 1921-1922 will go down in Hope's annals as having developed two of the best basketball teams in the school's history. Long b e f o r e the opening game everyone realized that our prospects f o r the State Inter-collegiate championship were exceptionally good. Coach Schouten had good material to work with and surely did his duty in t u r n i n g out two very successful teams. M a n a g e r S c h u u r m a n s had a r r a n g e d a schedule of twenty-four games. Fifteen of these games were played away f r o m home and only fourteen games of the whole schedule were played with college teams. T h e rest of the schedule contained games with independent and professional teams. This proved to be one of the stiffest schedules in years. T h e opening game was played with the G. R. Franklin Independents, which Hope easily took by a 44-12 score. Calvin was the next victim of the speedy aggregation. T h e Christmas holidays arrived and Coach Schouten took his men on a delightful trip through Wisconsin. T h e m a j o r i t y of games played with, professional teams, among them the W h i t i n g Red Crowns and the Matthewsons of Sheboygan, Wisconsin. T h e team now returned f r o m the wilderness of Wisconsin, confident of its ability to meet the best Michigan could offer. T w o games were played with Kalamazoo College, M. I. A. A. champions, and second in the national tournament. In both games Hope out-played the champs but lost one of the games by a one point margin, thus sacrificing the claim to the State championship. Several other very interesting games were played during the remainder of the season. T w o games were played with Kazoo Normals. Hope showed herself on a par with the N o r m a l s in both contests although she won but one of them. M. A. C. was met on the East Lansing floor, which proved to be a defeat by but one point. A trip through the eastern part of the state ended a most successful season. T h e r e were only eight defeats out of the twenty-four games played. Five of these games were lost to professional teams. Hope's total score f o r the season was 750, while the opponents score only tallied 458. T h e season was superior by f a r to any of the past years. T h e high morale of the team was reflected in the student body and in those who watched the team on the floor. F o u r men will be lost by graduation but we are glad to see that the Coach has prepared others to fill the vacancies, so that we can hopefully look f o r w a r d .to another season of success.

"Dyke" at right f o r w a r d managed to be Dickie's second in number of points tallied. His long and accurate tossing at the basket often made the game exciting. Dyke is another man we will miss by being graduated in June.

"Dickie" has captained Hope's five through two successful years. H e is without a doubt one of the greatest players who ever wore the O r a n g e and Blue. T h e r e will be a big hole to fill at left f o r w a r d next year, f o r Dickie is a senior.

" G a r r y ' s " opponents always thought him to be one of the largest creatures on earth. H e is one of the strongest defensive men in State basketball circles. Garry will not be back next year to j u m p center f o r his Alma Mater.

"George" came to Hope last fall with a good reputation and sure showed us that he could play basketball. H e aided the f o r w a r d s innumerable times in running up the Hope score. H e will be back next year to make the " P o r k and Beans" combination more famous.


"Beans" comes f r o m Iowa, but he is not green at the basketball game. His work has been of the steacty consistent type and could always be depended upon. T h e low scores of Hope's opponents were due to a large extent to his watchful playing.

•

„

"Mike" in his four years stay at Hope has shown himself to be a tighter in whatever he undertook. There were very few chances for Mike to sub at center, but when he did he displayed real skill and sportmanship.

"Kennie" is a plucky lad and with a little development will fill up the gaps in next year's team in a very meritnble way. Kennie is full of fight and always on hand when needed. T h e r e are three more years f o r Kennie to look f o r w a r d to.

"Doc" has labored most incessantly and conscientiously to develop a number of good players, and this year he has succeded wonderfully. W h a t makes Doc so well liked is the fact that he is working toward the realization of our ideal of "a bigger and better Hope."

FOOTBALL The football season of 1921 was one of decidedly little variety. Only eighteen men turned out for practice and consequently there were no scrimmages to bring the team into form. Many of the abler athletes could not report on account of class work that extended until late in the day. However, Coach Schouten made the best of the situation by keeping his men physically fit for any onslaught. It always has been the aim of our Coach to develop the player into as healthful a condition as possible. L'nder Jack's care no permanent injuries have resulted in the past three years. T h e schedule called for combats with the foremost football machines in the State. Hillsdale was the first contestant and she kept the laurels at home. Alma, runners up in the M. I. A. A. gave Hope her second defeat. Junior College visited Holland toward the latter part of the season and were determined to overwhelm Hope. But the plucky eleven did not succumb as easily as expected and Junior left with a victory of a one point margin over Hope. The Kazoo Normal game closed the season, that was seemingly filled with defeats. But each player was benefited by the exceptionally good coaching, the Coach learned much more concerning the men, and the school learned that a successful team cannot be had without loyal supporters. W e trust, that when Captain V a n Zanten calls forth his men in the fall a goodly number will respond.

BASEBALL T h e first robin was still moned his big leaguers for and prospects looked good. been developed f r o m all the

f a r below the Mason-Dixon line, when Coach Schouten sumGym practice. A large number turned out for daily practice T h e opening game was approaching, but as yet no hurler had good material, that had practiced so earnestly.

M a n a g e r L a u g had scheduled some exceptionally strong teams, in fact, the best in the State. T h e first game was to be with M. A. C , but weather conditions prevented, and a week later the team was greeted with similar weather at Albion. W ith a little additional practice and a few games with the High School, which were credited to Hope, the team 'took on Ferris Institute at Big Rapids. T h e r e seemed to be a lack of confidence among some of the players and Hope lost to F e r r i s and also to the long experienced St. Mary's team. T h e following week Kalamazoo College came to Holland and brought with her that much loved Michigan weather. T h e season closed with two victories over Junior College. At the end of the season the H o p e aggregation was working in excellent harmony. T h e fielding and hitting was remarkably-good. As soon as a pitcher is brought in to the College Halls, the team will go forth with more success. T h e r e is every reason f o r courage, considering that half of the games were won in the past season and that H o p e s competitors were seasoned players.

THE H-CLUB T h e past year has brought forth a new organization, that will tend to become a strong f a c t o r in developing Athletics at Hope.

T h e H-Club includes all men who have been awarded

the varsity letter in some branch of College sports. T h e bringing together of these men will u n i f y Athletics more, and the student body will learn that one game is quite as important as another. Every man of this organization is an enthusiast, and will bend every effort to keep the " O r a n g e and Blue" up to the highest s t a n d a r d s in intercollegiate athletics.

TRACK As soon as weather conditions permitted, a call was sent out f o r hill and dalers. A large squad of men reported f o r daily practice. Every man was put through a stiff course in the f u n d a m e n t a l s of track work. T h e harriers soon began to show evidence of real ability and were prepared f o r the annual meets. A team f r o m Grand Rapids, composed of Calvin College men and the Y. M. C. A.'s best, were Hope's opponents in the cross-country run. T h e leading man was one of the visitors, but H o p e overcame that by sending everyone of her runners in close succession to the leader and thus won the cup. T h e best time was made in this contest. There never appeared a stronger combination of runners on Hope's squad than Kempers, Ihrman, and Flikkema. T h e annual relay f r o m Grand Rapids to Holland failed to come about. men seemed willing to grant Hope's superiority and refused to run.

T h e G. R.

Schipper was the only man of the old squad who returned to take up track work this past fall. T h u s new runners were needed f o r the annual cross country run held at M. A. C. T h e leading colleges of the State, including the U. of M., participated. Hope won fourth place, which is exceptionally well f o r a college of her size. T h e Inter-class meet, which is held every spring on the Holland Fair Grounds was won by the Seniors.

Hope's record in oratory and debate has been a remarkable one, and this recognition by a national society is an incentive to greater work. T h e r e are at present eleven members in the chapter. Installation services will be held before the end of the school year, at which time those who have become eligible by participation in forensic contests during the past year will be admitted. A banquet is also being planned. President

HOPE—KALAMAZOO DEBATE I n the annual dual debate between Hope and Kalamazoo college the unusual happened this year. Can you Guess? Both the negative and the affirmative teams met defeat. T h e question f o r debate was "Resolved that the principle of the closed shop is justified. Burggraaff, Visscher, and Blocker supported the Affirmation at Kalamazoo, while Engelsma, P. De Vries, and Staplekamp defended the Negation. In explaining this "unusual circumstance" we wish to comment on the marked proficiency of the Kalamazoo teams. Their victories were the product of efficient coaching. O u r defeat is explainable on the ground that our men entered the contest entirely uncoached. Pitted against teams that were thoroly coached, the disadvantage of the H o p e men was clearly evident. W h a t are Hope's debating prospects f o r the coming year? W e are glad to say that the change which is necessary to maintain our prestige in debating is under way. \ \ ith our debating organization completely rebuilt and in charge of an efficient coach, teams, winning consistently, will again be representing Hope.

HOPE ALMA DEBATE In place of the customary Triangular Debate between Alma, Olivet, and Hope, a Dual Debate between Alma and Hope was scheduled for May 19. The subject under discussion was the Pi Kappa Delta question, "Resolved, that the principle of the Closed Shop is justifiable." The affirmative was upheld at Alma by Maurice Visscher (Capt.), Abe Rynbrandt, and Jack Prins. At home the negative was upheld by Irvin Borgman (Capt.), Harvey De Weerd, and Dan De Graff. W e are confident that our representatives will do honor to the name of Hope.

ORATORY Not so long ago, the little god or goddess who runs the oratorical contests in this old world below, just happened to notice that Hope College, State of Michigan, was winning far too many victories—just sort of spoiled the general effect of things you know. And although it's all planned out that we should win most of the time, this little god or goddess just arranged things so that H o p e College, State of Michigan, couldn't win all of the time. So you see it isn't the fault of our o r a t o r s that we are not able to report a double victory this year, but also kindly notice that we aren't saying that both of our orators didn't deserve a victory j u s t the same. Miss M a x i n e McBride was the representative f o r the " O r a n g e and Blue" in the W o m e n ' s Jcontest. T h e r e wasn't a single one at the contest that could help but admit that her oration entitled " B a c k g r o u n d s " was far different, very original, mighty unstereotyped. T h e y had to admit that her delivery was pleasing, clear, and free. Of course we aren't crawling but we do feel rather peeved at that little god or goddess just the same. Mr. Winfield Burggraaff spoke for us in the men's contest. His oration was entitled " T h e Nation's Heritage." Everyone knew that he told us something worth hearing in a way that one likes to hear things told, but we can't help the fact that H o p e just wasn't supposed to win this year. F o r that you may place the blame on the Oratorical god or goddess up above.

DR. J. R. N Y K E R K J he music department this year, under the able direction of Dr. Nykerk has witnessed an advance over that of former years. This progress is marked by the larger number of students enrolled and by the increased appreciation of music by the student body. The studio of the School of Music during the year was dedicated to Miss Grace Marguerite Browning in memory of the splendid services which she gave so unselfishly to the department.

SECOND

EPISODE

T h a t little settlement on the banks of Black Lake grew rapidly. T h e people felt that one important thing, however, was lacking,—no definite provision for education had yet been made. Could they allow their enterprise to fail ultimately because at the very beginning they had failed to provide f o r the f u t u r e ? Accordingly in 1851, W a l t e r C. Taylor of Geneva, N. Y. was called to take charge of their g r o w i n g school. N e w leaders always bring new plans and a new zest for any enterprise. This case was no exception. Dr. Van Raalte expressed his hopes for the f u t u r e of this school, but recently founded, in the first report to the general synod which contained these memorable w o r d s : f'This is my Anchor of H o p e f o r this people in the f u t u r e . " Those two w o r d s " A n c h o r " and "Hope"—what have they not come to mean to us to-day? W h e r e should a proposed institution for higher learning be erected? T h a t was the next question. It was satisfactorily settled in 1853 when Dr. Van Raalte gave five acres of land in Block L f o r the location of Holland Academy. Block L—it sounds dry and uninteresting enough on paper but that portion of it has become hallowed g r o u n d ! Van Vleck Hall has the great distinction of being the first large building erected on our campus. At present its glory may be dimmed, and its splendor may have passed away, but pay homage to it, ye sons and daughters of Hope, in memory of the time when it lifted high its now hoary head as the f o r e r u n n e r of greater things. Did you ever hear of the "missionary ship?" Even while the people of Holland were busily planning for the f u t u r e of their posterity, they also kept in mind the outside world. H o p e College was to be a light to the world as well as to America. Dr. Phelps was the first to propose the plan of the missionary ship. It was to be built by the people of Holland to carry the students educated at Hope across the waters to their work on the mission fields in heathen lands. T h e plan met immediate enthusiastic response. A piece of ground on Black Lake was hired as a ship yard, and on J u n e 24, 1864, the keel of the ship was laid amid much ceremony and general rejoicing. T h e missionary ship was never finished. A part of the keel still remains in the Museum as a testimony of the first attempts to carry out the idea. It was not a visionary scheme on the part of short-sighted people f o r it could have succeeded if they had kept right on working. But new interests demanded their attention and the enthusiasm of the people in general waned. T h a t crumbling keel of the missionary ship, however, first kindled the fire of missionary zeal which now burns so brightly at Hope. Not one missionary ship but a whole fleet of ships have sailed f r o m Holland, Michigan, to foreign lands while, " T h e old oak keel lies a-mouldering in the grave. But its soul goes marching on."

THIRD EPISODE T h e initial step in the education of the youth of the colony had been taken with the establishment of the Holland Academy, but the fondest dreams of the sturdy Dutch pioneers had ended there, and it was left to the dominating genius of one man to carry the work onward and bring the unfinished hopes into a splendid, living reality. T h a t one man was Dr. Philip Phelps, and it was due to his earnest, tireless efforts that the struggling little Academy emerged into the ranks of a collegiate institution. The great work was launched and the battle was half won when, in 1862, the graduates of the Academy were enrolled as a Freshman Class. These men and their inspiring leader formed the nucleus of our Hope,—and how strong a foundation they achieved may be witnessed by the mighty edifice that time has reared up with the passing years. T h e Synod of Chicago heartily entered into co-operation with Dr. Phelps and in 1864 endorsed a campaign to raise eighty-five thousand dollars f o r the f u r t h e r development of (the school. In the meantime, the solitary teaching responsibility which had rested with the principal, was relieved by the addition of three worthy instructors. Rev. T . Romeyn Beck, Rev. P. J. Oggel, and Rev. J. Mason Ferris. This gave Principal Phelps time to mark the first notable Milestone in the history of the school, when the College was incorporated under the state law, May 14, 1866. Straightway the Board of Education appointed Dr. Phelps the first President of Hope College and authorized five other appointments to the faculty. T h e great event was recognized in the inauguration, which took place July 12, 1866, and the first College Commencement on July 14, 1866. But the time in which the staunch leader had launched his ship of H o p e was rough and troublesome, and obstacles and disheartening failures were encountered on every side. Nevertheless, Dr. Phelps persevered with rare and noble patience, teaching more classes than an ordinary day could seem to hold, working and preaching the gospel of Christian education at home and abroad. And when in 1877, the college was reorganized on a new basis. Dr. Phelps tendered his resignation to the school f o r which he had labored the labor of love. T h u s with the passing of this great, outstanding figure in the history of the school, a chapter was finished and a brilliant period brought to a glorious close. FOURTH EPISODE T h e year 1877 marked another important Milestone in the history of Hope,— one written in flaming letters which stand forth clearly even after these many years that have rolled between. W h a t made it so important? First of all, the college was being reorganized on a new basis. Decisive steps were taken to lift the heavy debt with which the College had been burdened. T h u s one black cloud was lifted to make room f o r another ray of sunlight for f u t u r e prosperity. T h e faculty was once more increased and, as a natural result, the course of study was broadened, the standard of scholarship raised, and with a bound Hope College sprang f o r t h t o take her rightful place among the other educational institutions of the country. T h e dreams of its founders were being slowly realized. Dr. Scott became the second president and successfully carried on the work begun by his predecessor. And then,—^co-education was adopted. T w o young ladies were enrolled as students that same year. T h e precedent thus established, the succeeding years saw many more added to the list. And who shall say that the}' have not been an important factor in the rapid growli of Hope since that time? Another episode with far-reaching results was ended.

FIFTH EPISODE W h a t may be termed the "Golden Age" in this chain of narratives was ushered in with t h e ascension of Dr. Kollen to the presidency in 1894. It was verily an age of construction and growth. T h e f o u r main buildings that grace our campus to-day were erected chiefly t h r o u g h the efforts of Dr. Kollen, who was tireless in raising the funds f o r their construction and equipment. Graves Library and W inants Chapel, Hope's most picturesque and beautiful edifice, was a product of this era. Van Raalte Memorial Hall, named in honor of the donor of its site, and the father of the college followed next. Then Carnegie Gymnasium, spacious and splendidly equipped for the f u r t h e r a n c e of the health and athletic prowess of the students, was erected, followed by Voorhees Hall, the women's residence. But the achievements of this period did not rest only with the erection of buildings. T h e meagre faculty, composed of nine members, was enlarged until it included twenty-one; the student enrollment was greatly increased; and the permanent f u n d s advanced to nearly $400,000. W h a t , you would ask, was the nature and character of the man who sponsored this golden e r a ? T o us, who knew him, we would answer that he was simply Dr. Kollen,—but to the host of friends who have lived and benefited by his labor, he should be something more than a name. Striking and arresting in appearance, he was a man among men,—a fatherly, comradely friend on whom students could lean in the h o u r of trouble,—a staunch heart that could rise to visions of greater service, and yet would stoop to assume the lowliest burdens and tasks. T h e smallest child would smile when he passed by, and old gray haired men counted him their friend. This,—was our Dr. Kollen. SIXTH EPISODE A f t e r having given forty years of this faithful, devoted service to the College, Dr. Kollen felt constrained to resign his office in 1911 and to pass it on to his successor, Rev. Ame Vennema. Conditions were better than they had ever been before, but Dr. Vennema plunged right into the work and made them the best they had ever been. Soon the faculty comprised twenty-three members and the enrollment had increased to 424 students. T h e work was staunchly supported by the Church and the many friends of Hope scattered throughout the world. T h e f u t u r e indeed lay bright before them. In 1916 the semi-centennial, the celebration of the fiftieth birthday of H o p e College was held. T h a t was the jubilee year at college. A great pageant was presented by the students which brought back to mind the heroic spirit of the early settlers, and the intensity of their ideals for the f u t u r e . It outlined the development of our school so that we could see how wondrously the work had been blessed. With such a past behind them, there seemed to be no limit to what Hope could do in its march along the golden road ahead. SEVENTH EPISODE This is our d a y ! Dr. Dimnent began to speak officially f r o m the Chapel platform in 1918 and has continued to do so up to the present time. Sometimes we have been highly praised f o r the glorious victories we have brought to Hope and sometimes—very few times—we have been gently chided for permitting Hope's banner to trail in the dust. Slowly but surely our number has grown until our eyes grew wide with wonder at the unsurpassed registration of the present Freshman Class—148. Hope is steadily forging ahead in collegiate circles. In Forensics—thanks to the efforts of Dr. Nykerk—we have won f a m e throughout the length and breadth of Michigan and even beyond. A s students perhaps we do not appreciate to the full the advantages of our curriculum but just ask any member of the faculty to point that out to you and you will receive a satisfactory explanation. As f o r athletics—Hope is right in the foreground there and gives place to no college. If it can be done, H o p e goes in f o r it and makes every effort to emerge as victor. W e are today earnestly striving to carry out the ideals of the early f o u n d e r s of our school. EPILOGUE T h e last stage in the development of Hope College has been narrated, the last scene in the slow, sure pageant of its progress has been presented, and in the short interlude of the present,—the hushed, transparent curtain that bridges the intangible gulf between present and f u t u r e hides the view. But we, the spectators, catch the faint, rosy light that floods the misted scene; we sense the greatness of the things that are in the making, and the dimmed figures that are striving, even as the leaders of the past have striven, to create greater and nobler things. A n d when the interlude is finished, and the glaring lights of the present day die down into the faint, warm glow of the past, the curtain will be pulled aside and the scene and its makers will stand forth,-—revealed in all the glory of their works. This is the promise of the f u t u r e as long as you, Hope men and women, believe as did your forefathers.— "SPERA IN DEO."

Fine that 11 d o . —and with a bound Ian was in the classroom. One glance at his surtering classmates foretold the worst. A pinched blue look, common to Mondays and History tests, had settled upon each face. H e r e and there a low moan escaped as some wouldbe historian writhed and twisted under the Inquisition. Others were making faint gibes in an endeavor to keep up their morale, with a sickly grin stamped on their countenance. One question blared forth with mocking flourishes f r o m the dreary, bluish-gray b o a r d : — O u u i n e the Constitutional Development of England f r o m Pre-historic—up to the present time. T h e utter, sweet simplicity of that question was what made it so woefully tragic. ^ n C | , ^ e n ' a d d e d the head of the History Department, "lest you find time hang heavy on your hands, suppose you write brief but exhaustive essays upon the following: Canute P r i m e Minister to the Queen of Scotts,"—"Pit & Son, Inc.,—"Gudolphin of A r c " - F l a m bard. the Fuzzy F r u m p of Finland, alias, Relentless Rudolph,"—"The Case of Barney Google vs. Morte D'Ancestor, and its effect upon the C o n s t i t u t i o n , " - " W a l p o l e , nee Mrs. Masham-Goode, ( H e r e the student may take his choice), "Explain and interpret the old A n g l o - S a x o n title Ettubrute, or "Discuss the Flight of Jenkin's Ear and its sinister bearing upon the N o r m a n Invasion." T h e edge of lan's pencil had dwindled down to a grating stump b e f o r e the bells twinkled forth their paen of liberty. Wearily he stumbled f o r t h to lay the f r u i t s of a befogged brain upon the P r o f e s s o r ' s desk,—but wait, the Blue book's P. S. had been overlooked. I pledge my honor—given help—,"—it stared up at him with hollow mockery. But, the worst and best was yet to come. Down "M'ain Street" he rushed with a bound, charging chain-gangs of Prep, students, dispersing crowds of chattering pedestrians, and nearly coming to grief where the traffic was heaviest,—at the corner of Van Raalte Blvd. and W i n a n t ' s avenue. Uttering incoherent mumblings translated as "G'mornin' " (in the case of a faculty m e m b e r ) , and " H i h ' a r ' y a s " with lesser folk, he achieved the threshold of Van Raalte Hall,—to be met with a hideous spectacle! There, in plain sight and view, beneath the very shadow of the bulletin board was UA n n and another Ian Yew. H e was not nearly so nice as our Ian, f o r he wore polka-dot ties and was addicted to For-get-me-not perfumes,—let that suffice. But he was helping U - A n n slip on the r e f r a c t o r y left rubber in a most cavalier-like manner. " A w - h o w does he get that way !" groaned Ian as he slunk away. "S'pose he's gone and made a date for the party,—and he's just a special, too, and hasn't even paid his class dues. Pro'bly be in the Anchor too,—what's he think he is—Sir W a l t e r Raleigh !" But oh, Ian, if you could ever be a U-Ann. As is the way with U - A n n s all the world over, her heart was banging so loud that it sounded like a dinner gong, and the foot that didn't match up with its rubber, was wobbling in ague-like fits. And to top it all off,— the would-be cavalier limped miserably forth with a most un-Raleigh like,—"U-Ann, can I see you home after the party to-night?" T h e n did U - A n n arise in righteous wrath, and stamping her foot with a vigor that sent the rubber flying ceiling-ward, she pointed an accusing finger at this "special" Ian. " Y o u , " she said, " A r e the reason why girls go S. G. A. T h a n k you,—-no! Of course I can't accept Ian Jr.'s invitation now—not that he asked me—but—I was sure,—that is,—" and she ended in a miserable wail and hurriedly precipitated herself into the tide that was flowing t o w a r d s the door. It was Blue Monday now f o r another Ian,—and he slouched miserably out-doors, as blue as his own forget-me-nots and polka-dots. As f o r U-Ann,—^"it never rain's but it pours,"—and the umbrella that she was endeavoring to keep up-right had a most engaging and peculiar manner of collapsing every two minutes, due to a slight ailment in one of its ribs. Indeed, U - A n n had named it, "Old F a i t h f u l . " and as she maneuvered down the walk, occupied with her bitter thoughts, the solution of the whole problem suddenly came to her. "I have it," she jubilated. "Goloshes! W h y didn't I ever think of them b e f o r e ? If it hadn't been f o r my rubbers—I wouldn't have been late f o r Chapel,—if it hadn't been for rubbers,—Ian J r . would have—and that special Ian—wouldn't have—. I'll go downt o w n right now, and get the jingliest ones I can find. But,—there's Education this hour,— well, the P r o f , wasn't there, and five minutes is the time limit." However, P r o f e s s o r s have a disconcerting habit of meeting stray-a-way pupils abroad, —and none knew tfcat so well as U - A n n I. "Anyway," she reasoned gleefully, " 'If W i n t e r Comes,—I won't be far behind ! ' " So down-town she tramped joyously, and purchased the best specimens that the Arctic regions afforded. Straightway, home she jingled, with all bells on, and fell hungrily in line for the luncheon that was given at Voorhees. Now, Ian was a waiter, that is, he was one of those mortals who wait on, and in the

hopes that the diners won't eat up everything, and leave nothing—for the waiter. But a Voorhees waiter waits f o r no man, no indeed, only for himself,— which doesn't count. A n d he discredits utterly that little formula that,—"Everything comes to he who waits." H e would starve if he did,—so he puts away and reserves " ( y o u know h o w ) , " and waits f o r the happy h o u r that is waiting f o r the waitful waiter. Call it co-incidence, pre-arrangement, o r what you will, that Ian waited on U - A n n ' s table. And of course all's fair in love and food,—so naturally Ian managed to mumble a few words to U - A n n between the Blue M o n d a y Campbell's and Blue-points. "U-Ann,—that Junior party to-night,—have you an'—er— "No—but I can't—something happened. I'm—." "Sure, S'all right," grimly," I saw it!" And Ian endeavored to show all beholders just how poised and unmoved he was, by supporting a laden tray on one sturdy finger, in true Ringling style. All of which was very fetching, although slightly detrimental to the health of one vegetable dish and two soup bowls. But there's an end to all bad things, even Blue Mondays,—and a f t e r U - A n n had spent the afternoon in Laboratory, and emerged with only two cut fingers, seven smashed testingtubes, and a record of two fires at her desk, she buckled up her goloshes and hurried down to the waiting Junior bus. Somewhere, hanging onto the back steps in forlorn, cold companionship with the ice-cream freezer, was Ian. T h e last arrival panted in, the last Junior returned with that extra coat, the horn blew,—and they were off! It was just a J u n i o r party,—to those who are familiar with the brand, nothing more need be said. Of course there was the inevitable "Grand Right and Left," during the process of which one worried and shivered alternately until a kindly fate ordained things so that you were the lonely remnant left over. T h e n there was the gentle, refined game called " T h r e e deep," in which, if you were lucky, you sustained only one sprained finger, a wrenched back and minor, negligible injuries. But don't f o r g e t the zero hour, in which the bus arrives, everyone scrambles f o r their wraps, and the vital question is—: " T o be with—or w i t h o u t ! " If you belong to the common ordinary run of You and I's, you are like U-Ann,— "without," and jolt home in bleak, single-blessedness in the f r o n t of the bus, crouched down between the driver and a l o w - m u r m u r i n g couple,—every now and then lifting your voice feebly to join in,—•"! ain't got nobody much,—but I don't give an all-fired c a r e ! " You're not so sure about the latter part of the ditty, and you rather suspect the person who wrote it was a cynic and had suffered greatly at the hands of class parties. But to return to Ian,—chuckling fate had one more blow to deal him. H e went home, —even as U - A n n I, but most decidedly "with"'—the chaperone. H o w it happened, no one knew—not even Ian. But let us draw a veil. T h e twinkling lights of Voorhees at length hove in view,—-everyone dis-embarked in various stages of sleepiness and crampedness,—everybody wished everybody else—"Many happy returns, and many more like 'em." And another Junior party was over,—but not f o r U - A n n and Ian. Veering breathlessly around the corner of the reception room, U - A n n ran straight into the arriving chaperon and Ian. Hampered by a dragging flap of her golosh, she tumbled in an inglorious, graceless heap at their very feet. It was the last straw,—the beautiful, finishing touch to the end of a perfect Monday. Flushed and hot with mortification, she staggered up. " W h y , U - A n n , " cried the kindly chaperon, as she noticed a blue bump swelling rapidly on U - A n n ' s temple. "You've hurt yourself, wait a minute, I'll run upstairs f o r the witchhazel." Bless her heart, she was a chaperon worth having, was this one. T h e r e was an a w k w a r d pause, t h e n : — "Say U-Ann.—honest I'm a w f u l l y sorry that I didn't ask you to the party before,—but I thought,—you k n o w , — a n d " ( w i t h a feverish spurt,) "Will you go to the Senior Play with me?" "Will I ? " U - A n n ' s eyes shone, " T h a n k you,— yes!" And then because he was "even as—You and I," a n c l couldn't resist it,— he said with much pride. "We'll have a lot of fun, I guess,—I've got dandy seats,—third row,—not so bad, eh?" "Bad—I guess not," glowed U-Ann. And then, because she was f o r g e t f u l and "even as You and I," she added, "My, but this has been a lovely d a y ! " All of which goes to prove the rule that Ian Yew and U - A n n I, were even as all You and I's;—and that Mondays are never so blue as they are painted. BY,— YOU AND 1.

A VERSE OR TWO POEMS AT

SUNSET

T h e sun with its golden beams is sinking Behind a misty veil of blue, Yet, dimly still its lingering rays Paint all the sky with every hue. T h e broken clouds steal silvery light A n d toss it gently down to me. While I in silence stand and gaze—E n r a p t u r e d by its mystery. O'ercome with grandeur thus I muse. I hear the last sweet song of bird— I scent the f r a g r a n c e of the flower. Until 1 feel my soul is stirred T o give like them, a sacrifice; T o offer praise, which might arise So that it would, at this glad hour, Blend with the beauty of the skies. —C. '24. SONNET

I dreamed last night that Spring had come, and I, Alone with God and silent growing things. Stood drinking in the songs that all the Springs Of ages past had sung to man. A cry. Age-old, welled in my breast, and to the sky I flung its triumph-call.—A d r e a m ? It clings Like famished passion to my mind, and stings W i t h pain as strangely sweet. I wonder w h y ? Some say we dream of what we most desire. A n d true it s e e m s : I dearly wish f o r Spring,— F o r birds and flowers and f r a g r a n t blossomed trees. A n d when it comes 1 know that I shall sing Those very songs that set my heart afire W i t h i n my dream by such sweet harmonies. T o T H E U N K N O W N WARRIOR

Soldier, I envy y o u ! You fought the fight And well; you died, but with the blood you spent You bought the world's redemption. Rest contcnt. Dead hero,—thru the darkness of the night About us still, your soul shall guide aright A groping w o r l d ; and tho, perchance, you went T o give your all, not knowing what 'twas meant T o serve, mankind now sees in fuller light. U n k n o w n ? — ' T i s but a phrase, Upon the heart

Of all the world is stamped fore'er the name You lost: we all claim kinship unto thee. W h a t boots it us, who gave the lesser part. The, name you answered to?—'Tis all the s a m e : You're he who died that wars might cease to be. —XEZEX. DEATH

It is not that I am afraid to go Or that I'll clap my hands unto my ears, W h e n husky-throated Death shall call my name— I am too much in love with L i f e to die, A n d have but wooed her such a little while. Then, too, my yesterdays, which Time has flung Down the long stairway of the years. W e r e f a r too short, too often drenched with tears. And then, I'd like to feed each starving sense At some great banquet, and see every one D r u n k with the wine that dreamers feast upon. M y soul would then throb rich and deep and full, 'Cells-like with two-stringed Melodies,— Then husky-throated Death may call my name. And I will rise, and loudly answer " h e r e ! " J. M. D. H . '22 To

ADELIA

I glory in an o a k ; do oft stand mute B e f o r e its quiet s t r e n g t h ; I feel a pang when, after long dispute, Time-worn, it fails at length. —But I can't love it. So give to me some modest, little flow'r; It does not awe nor preach, But merely smiling, loving f o r an hour. Gives me new faith to reach T o God above it. XEZEX. AUTUMN

W h e n do we know that the fall is here? W h e n the stiff-limbed cats by the wood-fire sleep. And the pale-gold juices slowly seep F r o m the cider press, and the barns are full, W h e n even the clock in the hall feels dull, And painfully rouses to sound the hour. And the unpicked melons begin to sour. W e know that the fall is here. —J.M.

MINERVA SOCIETY For more than a quarter of a century. Minerva has been worshipped faithfully at her shrine. She is the oldest of the girl's societies on the campus; the mother of the Sorosis and Delphi societies. When in 1896 a literary society was founded on the campus, it was a combination of college and "prep" girls. As the membership increasesd, a separation was called for, and the "prep" girls had to paddle their own canoe. And Minerva has not been worshipped in vain. A spirit of good fellowship is felt and appreciated among the "prep" girls. Every member loves Minerva and is trying her best to live up to the noble ideals of the society. Each girl feels that she is benefitted greatly and also derives a great deal of pleasure f r o m the weekly meetings. Minerva, to thee, we will ever be true. W e will love thee 'till death do us part. W e will honor the name, we will e'er spread the fame Of Minerva, so dear to our heart. OFFICERS SPRING

MELIPHONE SOCIETY Sixty-five years ago, backed by a determination of success, honor, and loyalty, a group of students organized Meliphone Society. Since then every effort has been strained to keep Meliphone loyal and worthy of its tradition. A t present jt has a membership of thirty-two. Each Friday evening the members meet for their weekly program, which has as its purpose intellectual development chiefly along literary lines, and is composed of debates, orations, essays, and other literary work. The kindly, yet severe, criticisms after each delivery are exceedingly helpful. At the close of each school year a play is staged, the appreciation and success of which are revealed in the large audiences always present. The society has also a strong purpose for social development. Joint meetings with the sister society, Minerva, are held occasionally. The annual banquet also does much in aiding its social purpose. Representatives of Meliphone are scattered over the whole world, but in the heart of each, Meliphone holds and will continue to hold a warm place. OFFICERS FALL

BASKETBALL Within the past few years the Preps have acquired larger interests in the Athletics of the school. Basketball is the principal sport, which is well supported by every Prepite. Several out of town games were scheduled this past season, and in return these games were played on the home floor. Some very interesting games, preliminary to the college games, were played. T h e r e are several native Americans on the team, which tends to make the work exceptionally speedy. Coopersville and several of the smaller towns in the vicinity of Holland found that the team was surprisingly strong. T h e colllege is looking f o r w a r d to the time when these men can qualify f o r positions on the varsity teams.

PREP. SCIENCE CLUB One of the youngest organizations of the P r e p a r a t o r y School is its Science Club. Organized a little less than three years ago, it has been progressing steadily in its activities. Only those who have shown a marked interest in science have been chosen as members. Practical knowledge is derived f r o m the bi-weekly meetings thru the reports rendered by its members and talks of more advanced science students and heads of the Science Department. T h e club has proven itself a helpful element in the life of its members t h r u its practical purpose of broadening their outlook on the field of science. FIRST WILLIS HARRY

THE WESTERN THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY The students of the Western Theological Seminary feel honored that the staff has again seen fit to give them a place in the college annual. Altho we are not connected with the College by being under the same adminis'tration, yet there seems to be an even stronger connection in the fact that so many of the Seminoles have spent their college years at Hope, and they still cherish fond memories of f u n and fellowship enjoyed there. The Seminary men, altho generally found in their rooms, sermonizing, always find time to attend the college contests, both athletic and forensic, and are always boosting for Hope. I h e width of 'Iwelfth street does not in reality divide the College from the men '"across the road." Together we honor some of the leading religious thinkers who are graduates of both schools. MILESTONE

Western Seminary is, like Hope, under the control of the Reformed Church of America. Its purpose is to train College graduates and fit them after a three years course for service in the gospel ministry. Its faculty is comprised of five ordained ministers, consecrated men, well qualified to teach the branches for which they have been chosen. Practically all the ministers of the Reformed Church in the western states and in the middle west are graduates of this school, and Western Seminary is yearly trying to supply the ever increasing demand for pastors in those churches. There is a growing need for men who are ready and selves for that greatest of all services, the service of the more consecrated men is continually ringing, and the prepared to care for such young men who have the desire

"YA! AND T H E N W H A T DID S H E SAY?" " H o w stunning," remarked the victim as the holdup man cracked him across the head. "I'll make a statue or bust," muttered the clay as the artist picked up a h a n d f u l "I must have some of you to take with me," he cried as he pinched her cheek. " W h a t a splendid fit," said the tailor as they carried the epileptic out of the shop. "I stole a march on them," said the kleptomaniac as she walked out of the ten cent store with a piece of music in her muff. "I'll be able to make both ends meat," wheezed the butcher as he chased the cat down the alley. " T h a t makes me feel sheepish," said the young man as the vamp tried to pull the wool over his eyes. "One enjoys a good grind now and then" said the humorist cannibal as he devoured the valedictorian. "At your service" said the burglar, as he jimied the family sideboard. " H e r e ' s where I get the best of him," said the cannibal as he picked out some choice pieces of his victim. "A howling success," he cried as he entered the dog show.

THIS SOUNDS PROBABLE J . W . Stapelkamp: ( T o Old L a d y ) "May I accompany you across the street m a d a m ? " Old L a d y : "Certainly, sonny, how long have you been waiting here for someone to take you across?"

T R Y L E A V I N G IT ON T H E P O R C H RAIL M A T T Mr. Den H e r d e r : " W h o was here last night, Nella." N e l l a : "Only Ruth." Mr. Den H e r d e r : "Well, tell Ruth she left her pipe on the Victrola."

EXTRY!EXTRY! "May I print a kiss on your cheek?" I asked. She nodded her sweet permission. So we went to press, and I rather guess I. printed a large edition.

T H E BEAST H e wouldn't Although she stood in mute appeal H e r star-like eyes raised in request H e r throbbing breast against his manly breast. H e wouldn't. H e wouldn't W i t h her rose lips half agape. She asked it with her pretty maiden grace. W i t h her loving adoration in her face. H e wouldn't, no H e wouldn't. But that these lines may disillusion you, There's something to be said f o r him, 'tis t r u e ; She wanted him to take her room-mate too, H e wouldn't.

WISCONSIN WIT H e r b : " W h a t ' s the matter with your clothes? They look as though you had slept in 'them." B e n : "Yes, I went to P r o f . Winter's class this morning."

W H A T T H E F R E S H M E N T H I N K A N D SAY I want to be a Junior and with the Juniors stand, With fountain pen behind my ear and a notebook in my hand. I wouldn't be an emperor, I wouldn't be a king. I wouldn't be a president for all that life can bring. I wouldn't be an angel for the angels have to sing, I'd rather be a Junior and never do a thing.

T H E HOMECOMING There was a boy from Iowa put out to go to college. With mule-like ears, and an aching void he hoped to fill with knowledge. So he arrived at Hope College one wet and foggy dawning And set about to fill the space beneath his low-thatched awning. But never a book he opened for eight and forty moons He wrote some touching letters and he had some darn fine spoons. So home he went to Iowa, where his father came to ask, "Was they able to larn you, Si, and be you ready for your task?" Then Silas turned his Beech Nut inside his massaged cheek And he said, "At least the Bible says, 'Blessed are those who seek.' I've been at school four years or more and though I was never known to fail I haven't learned a gol darn thing, 'cept how to spend your kale."

TAKE YOUR CHOICE Fell: "What's your idea of the height of absent mindedness?" Whalen : "Professor Wichers meeting his son, 'Hello, Billie, how's your father'." Cheflf; "Professor Kleis woke up at daylight and found a fair lady at his side, much to his astonishment, having forgotten that he had married the night before."

Twenty more shopping days before Christmas. Girls send out society "bids." With such a large Freshmen class some of the optimists decide they didn't have time for society anyway. Not so bad. The faculty is going to make chapel more interesting. Harvey De Weerd will furnish the first entertainment by playing for our approval, a violin solo. Y. W. has a bloomer party in the gym. Whalen reports a good time. Harvey had to go a f t e r Kole, so Garey plays the fiddle in his place. When it comes to playing a vilin—we nominate Garey. Mass meeting for basketball game. The same old pep for the court game. Everdene delivers a thirty-five minute talk on Cedar Grove. We always thought New York was the biggest city. Everybody ( ? ) votes to chip in a nickle and buy Aristotle et al. a key. Seein' as it wasn't raining or the sun wasn't shining we couldn't figure out why some of those women were carrying unbrellas until somebody told us it was part of the Delphi initiation. Basketball team starts out with the same old pep and demolishes Grand Rapids Franklins 44 to 12. In which we are reminded of the seriousness of life. Adelia Heneveld is struck by an automobile and is fatally injured. School exercises closed at 10 o'clock to enable the students to pay their last respects to our beloved fellow student, Adelia Heneveld. "It ain't toothache, it's mumps," said Mike as he went to bed for a week. Chapel is made interesting once more when the college quartet favors us with some music. "Wait until next year" again was the song of the Calvin rooters as they left the floor defeated by a 54-20 score. T h e Reserves rubbed it in by defeating the Calvin Rivals 35-28. "Van Raalte Hall ain't what she used to be," said Prof Welmers as he and Prof. Hinkamp carried the fourth bench to the third floor. The hearers are frozen to their seats as P r o f . Southwick reads Julius Caesar for the second number of the lecture course. Intellect Producer closes its doors for the Christmas recess. Basketball team leaves for Wisconsin and Cedar Grove.

T h e stability of Franklin investments, g u a r d e d b y experience, and scrutinized b y the Illinois I n s u r a n c e Department, places the F r a n k l i n Policy a m o n ^ the safest in the w o r l d . But in addition. Franklin Policies are registered, w i t h a "le^al r e s e r v e " of a p p r o v e d securities placed w i t h the State of Illinois for the fulfillment of Franklin policy obligations. M r . W . J.
