The Orange and Blue

Proudly we wave Hope's banner, Orange and Blue; To her fair, shining symbols we'll e'er be t r u e ; Orange for royalty, blue for true loyalty, Fling out our banner f r e e ! And sing out anew : CHORUS:— Orange and Blue! To them we'll e'er be t r u e ! We'll keep them flying, forever flying. Together cheer and shout! (Yea Hopeites). Orange and Blue! Raise the song anew ! We'll ever hail our glorious Orange and Blue! Like her we show the Orange, proud let us be. Children of Alma Mater, Royal are we. Blue is the trust of youth, honor, and love and truth, So let us wear them both, that all men may see: Of life's unfolding pathway, little we know, Yet, over all the journey Hope's light shall glow. When sinks the closing day, over the fading way. W h e n we shall see its ray, fair glory bestow.

T o be t h r u s t out into the cold world f r o m u n d e r the protecting wing of our A l m a M a t e r is h a r d ; the t h o u g h t of breaking our finest and best f r i e n d s h i p s and associations that have made the college seem like home to us brings with it a feeling of sadness, but there is joy in the anticipation that we are going out as messengers of H o p e . A n d so, although t h e r e is sadness at parting, there is gladness at the idea of service a n d there is joy in the t h o u g h t that, a f t e r all, we will never cease to be Hopeites.

J u n i o r Class The standard of '26 has passed another Milestone in the march to victory. To the indomitable leaders of idealism do we pledge our efforts. The Juniors, everyone of them, are loyal Hopeites. The Juniors on the athletic teams, the forensic teams, in fact in whatever branch we take part, give the best for the best. This undying spirit is an influence toward reaching our goal. But perhaps the most vital factor in our f u t u r e success is that "spirit of Hope" which is even superior to the strong "'spirit of '26". May it be our aim always, to do the bigger, better things for Hope and make Hope bigger and better.

Sophomore Class The class of 1927, during its Sophomore year has been fulfilling the promise which it showed when it first entered Hope.

Its members have enthusiastically

taken part in all the school activities and in every way have showed themselves to be true Hopeites, not only in their endeavor to gain for themselves that learning, refinement and culture which a college ofifers, but also in their readiness to do what they can for Hope. continually increasing.

1 heir loyalty to Hope and their love for her are

The victory in the "tug" at the beginning of the year showed that class spirit and co-operation which were to be seen throughout the entire year.

T h e class

has been very active in the past two years but promises to do even more in the remaining two years at Hope.

"Animosus" is its watchword!

Freshman Class Three cheers and a Rah for the class of 1928, the largest in the history of Hope!

O u r aim is to make it not only the largest in numbers but also first in

scholarship, athletics and all the other activities dear to the heart of the college student.

It is true our lofty ambitions were a little dampened by the cold "duck-

ing" we received at the beginning of the school year.

But we have agreed to con-

sider this a part of our initiation into the college realm and we look forward to bequeathing it to our successors along with the little green caps and ribbons. As the time spent within tiie college walls grows longer, may the Freshman class grow in spirit and enthusiasm; may it ever be true to the time-honored standards and ideals; may it ever proudly wave Hope's banner, "the Orange and Blue"'.

W i t h puffy, impish breezes playing 'round, W i t h daffodils apeeping f r o m the ground. W i t h happy lovers strolling in the sun While all the world around is having fun. Oh S p r i n g ! W i t h air that's leaden deep with spicy scents. W i t h roses nodding in the corners of the fence. W i t h f a r m e r s gathering in the dusty hay, And people slowly loitering on their w a y ; Sweet S u m m e r !

Student Council Wherever there is a group united in one common interest there is the tendency to organize, to select a few to conduct the affairs and look a f t e r the interests of that group. It is in response to this inclination that the Student Council came into existence. The Council seeks primarily to create and maintain that good feeling between the classes which makes the student body a unit and does not allow factions to exist. In sponsoring the Honor Code it has, in the face of opposition, stood for the traditions of the Hope student body as expressed in its actions during the past few years; the Code has proven efifective again this year. In an attempt to regulate the number of offices any individual student shall hold, the Council has instituted the Point System, which serves to distribute the honors as well as the work among a greater number of students than heretofore. The Student Council wishes to express its appreciation for the co-operation of the student body in its efforts to uphold the traditions of Hope. M E M B E R S

Y . M . C . A. ! he Y. M. C. A. at Hope is not only one of the oldest organizations on the campus, but it has grown in recent years to be the largest and mo it representative body of Hope men. Every Tuesday evening men of every phase of campus activity meet for an hour of devotion, prayer and good fellowship. Here is where Hope men meet on common ground. The same glad hand to welcome one another, the same purpose in mind and the prayers and co-operation of fellow " Y " men are great incentives to try harder to live up to the motto: " T o make Jesus Christ the King of O u r Campus." The influence of the " Y " is felt not only upon the campus but it is carried out to the five Sunday Schools with the help of the Y. W . C. A. Then too. Gospel Teams are sent out week-ends and during vacation periods. This year eight men were called to lead discussion groups at the State Older P>oys Conference at Muskegon. With the support of the Y. W . C. A., the Faculty, and the Student Body, the " Y " has every year worked toward the endowment fund for the salary of the Hope High School principal at Madanapelle, India. The Annual Week of Prayer was in charge of Dr. S. D. Gordon of "Quiet Talk" fame. T h e Cabinet of the " Y , " consisting of thirteen men, meets every Monday evening to discuss campus problems and to carry on the business of the Association. Largely thru the prayers and consecrated efforts of these Cabinet men has the Association been able to shoulder its burden by permeating the group with the spirit of good fellowship and brotherhood which we feel on the campus today.

Y. W. C. A. To those who know and love our " Y , " it represents a phase of our student activities that is indispensable to the highest development of life and character. As students we are endeavoring to find and fill our place in the world, realizing that to live a life truly Christian in a world such as ours, we must renew our grip upon realities, and seek, each for herself, the meaning and source of all living. The Y. W . C. A. seeks to cultivate within every girl on the campus, such an ideal of life. It seeks to help each girl realize her possibilities; to encourage friendship and better social relationships; to teach the sacredness and joy of living; to inspire to a life of fellowship with Christ. The six gospel teams that have gone out this year have tried to share some of this spirit of " Y " with other girls. The results of this new venture on the part of our organization have been most happy. W h o of us can give a just estimate of the worth of " Y " ? Can we measure the silent influence of our happy hours of fellowship, and song and prayer? Can we express adequately the worth of the friendship touch with all the girls on our campus that " Y " has afforded ? And who of us can ever forget the blessed experiences of Prayer W e e k ? The hallowed joy of it is with us still, and will be always. Then, too, as members of our local Y. W . C. A. we are a part of a world organization. W e are among the Youth of the world—Youth with all the ardor of its enthusiasm, the eagerness of its hope, the glory of its dreams.

Student Volunteer Group "Go ye into all the world." O u r field is the world. The world into which the first messengers were sent was not the world as we know it. Today we can no longer reckon with distances and separations. All mankind is hound henceforth to live a common life. And yet this world, though a neighborhood, cannot be called a brotherhood until the "bond of the Spirit" of Christ unites all men. O u r purpose is to permeate with the spirit of the Gospel, not only individuals, but also society and international relationships. W e firmly believe that for the molding of such a brotherhood every Christian should merge his life with the will of God whether that may mean service at home or abroad. As Volunteers, we deem it a supreme privilege to be numbered with that train of Christ's followers who down through the ages have joyously answered his challenge to a great obedience, a great venture of faith. Those who have sought to carry out Christ's program for the world have been dominated, not so much by an idea, as by a conviction of an obligation to Christ and the world. 1 he foreign missionary enterprise has been the errand of men and women who have loved and served the world in the spirit of the Master, bringing His redeeming life to bear upon all the needs of the world.

Home Volunteers The H o m e Volunteer Band has become a great source of mutual helpfulness and Christian fellowship for those who are studying for the ministry. The weekly meetings have been both informational and inspirational for the members. Problems of fundamental importance have been discussed and the church doctrines have been presented by the professors and students of the Seminary f r o m time to time. The devotional periods have deepened the interest in the great calling and have served to create a closer relationship with the Master. The Christian church faces a great challenge to meet the needs of the present world situation. The ministry must be fitted to lead the church forward in this great enterprise. The chief requisites for this leadership are knowledge of world conditions, organized effort, and an uncompromising faith in the supernatural power of God. These are the aims of the Home Volunteers. The earnest prayer of the group is that God will use the organization for the training of men to carry the gospel of Jesus Christ everywhere. OFFICERS First

"The Cabinet

Minister"

Due to family extravagances, the Right Honorable Sir Julian Twombley is forced into serious financial straits and, as a result, his work as a cabinet minister is hampered so much that his resignation is called for.

Lady Twombley, who is anxious to

have her children, Imogen and Brooke, make brillliant marriages, pretends that she has sufficient f u n d s to help her husband, who gladly accepts them.

She

borrows money f r o m a money-lender, Joseph Lebanon, on the terms that she introduce his sister. Lady Gaylustre. and himself into society.

Then fol-

lows the attempt to marry Imogen to a rustic Scottish noble, but she refuses and chooses a boyhood chum, Valentine White.

Lebanon tries to bribe

Lady Twombley to reveal a government secret.

Apparently he succeeds, but ac-

tually he fails, and Lady Twombley gains riches by speculation under an assumed name.

Senior Class Play The class of 1925 presented as its Senior Play "Thank Yon" by Winchell Smith and Tom Gushing. Its signal success was due, for the most part, to the consistent work of the cast and to the untiring efforts of Miss Vera Keppel, the Coach. Ethel Luidens as Hannah and Clarence Lubbers as Willets cleverly interpreted the parts of the maid and the sexton. The part of Betsy Blodgett, the village gossip, was ably taken by Martha Gabbard. Elmer Van Lare as the village drunk, contributed a great deal of humor to the play as well as trouble for the rector. William Hilmert's sympathetic and intelligent interpretation of his part added a great deal to the success of the production. Cynthia Melpolder, as Diane Lee, made a most charming and attractive heroine. The Jones family, Esther Boer as Mrs. Jones, Harvey Teusink as Mr. Jones, the Senior Warden, Grace Gardei as Gladys, Cornelius Dykhuizen as Monte, did some very commendable acting. Frederic Steggerda, Abraham Dulmes, Justin Bussies, Russell Pleune, Ray Van Zoeren, and Gerrit Heemstra as members of the vestry showed unusual histrionic talent. Henry Costing as Kenneth Jameison proved himself to be an exceptional actor and captivating hero. Walter Roughgarden as Cornelius Jameison showed talent and ability. Harvey De Bruin as Griggs made a competent butler.

"Thanh

T he scene of the play is laid in Dedham, Massachusetts, a small rural community. The story is concerned with David Lee, the pastor of the community, who is forced to live on a salary of eight hundred dollars a year—with the aid of donations, for which he must always say, "Thank you". His niece, Diane Lee, comes f r o m Paris to live at the rectory with the result that the life of the whole community is revolutionized. There are many humorous situations created thru the misunderstandings of the towns-people which the rector and his niece must meet. It all ends happily, however, with the rector's salary increased and Diane engaged to a promising young business man.

Science Club The study of science in all its pha-es is recognized today as one of the most far-reaching and important factors in the progress of civilization. It is the purpose of the Hope College Science Club to encourage its constituency to a deeper and fuller understanding and appreciation of the truths of science. Men of repute address the members from time to time concerning common interests along the chemical, biological, and physical branches of science. Candidates for membership in the Club are those Juniors who have the required number of credits in the science department and have shown a keen interest in the furtherance of scientific work at Hope College.

Chemistry C l u b The Hope College Chemistry Club is one of the most recent organizations on the campus. It was organized for the purpose of promoting good fellowship among the students in the Chemistry department. Its membership is restricted to those who have shown themselves to be capable students, and plan to make Chemistry their profession. At present there are thirty-five honorary members and eighteen active members in the club, which continues to prosper under the efficient direction of Doctor Van Zyl. Interesting and instructive meetings are held every three weeks, at which scientific numbers are rendered by the members of the club or by outside speakers. OFFICERS President

Pre-Medic Club With the words, "Progress' Greatest Stride," as a motto, the Pre-Medic Club has again passed another milestone on the road to success. It is an organization whose ultimate aim is the development of a more profound interest in the science of medicine. To attain this end meetings are held, in which various topics are discussed by the members. Many enjoyable evenings have been spent in this manner, and each pre-medic feels that he has gained something worth while f r o m the discussions. Oftentimes, prominent doctors from the city have been invited to talk on any subject of their own choosing, pertaining to the medical profession, to which they have most heartily responded. Judging f r o m the progress which has already been achieved, we predict a bright f u t u r e for the Hope College Pre-Medic Club, and that with the advent of a few years it will be one of the strongest organizations upon the campus.

The Anchor The college paper fills a unique place on the campus.

Among its functions

are the chronicling of school events, the maintenance of interest in what other schools are doing, keeping the alumni in close touch with their Alma Mater, and representing the school out in the world. All these things, however, can be done—altho not as well or efficiently done—in other ways.

Of all the functions of a college paper, none can compare

with the duty of expressing and elevating the thought of the studentry.

The

college paper reflects the life of the campus—yes; but if it neglects to raise it as well, it is untrue to its mission.

T o honestly and truthfully portray campus

life and thus serve the college as well as the individual student, has been the ideal for the attainment of which the Anchor Staff has striven.

1925 MILESTONE

The Junior Classes of Hope College for nine years have produced their copies of the Milestone and now the Class of '26 presents its Milestone. The Annual of a college is a picture resume of college life. The pages arouse an abundance of happy associations and memories. All the phases of the school's activities are present from Athletics to Literature and the good annual presents all these in an artistic and pleasing manner. In addition to pictures, the spirit and ideals of a school are shown by the type of annual it produces. The staff trusts that the '25 Milestone fulfills its purpose. Many have helped in the production of the Milestone. The merchants of Holland and of vicinity have made the book possible by their advertisements. The scenes in the introductory section were contributed mainly by Miss Jones of Holland. The college students have been willing to co-operate with the staff in doing whatever they could. The staff has felt it an honor to have this work of producing the Milestone and its members have tried in every way not to fail the care entrusted to them.

Men's Contest, and the eighteenth annual Women's Contest. For the colleges of Michigan this Oratorical Contest is an occasion of enthusiastic and friendly rivalry.

The influence of the M. O. L. in setting a high

standard in the art of public speaking can hardly be overestimated. W e of Hope are especially proud of our record in the M. O. L.

Since 1912,

Hope has won first place thirteen times, two of these victories coming in the same year, and six in successive years. victories.

Can not our Alma Mater be justly proud of such achievement!

To our able coach. Doctor Nykerk, we owe the highest praise, who is the only one of the organizers of the M. O. L. still active as an instructor in public speaking.

By his untiring efforts Hope's orators have been able to represent what

is finest and best in oratory. past!

The Girls' Glee Club All of Hope College,—faculty, alumni, students,—focused their attention particularly upon the Girls' Glee Club this year. The annual concert tour was unusually extended, touching points reaching to New York City and several bordering towns in New Jersey. That success attended every concert is evidenced by the continual favorable reports coming from the places visited, and by the increased confidence and proficiency of the girls in the art of chorus singing. Much credit is due them also for their enviable record at the State Glee Club contest held in Kalamazoo, April 17. A great regret is that many of the members graduate in June, but the foresight of Mrs. Fenton has created a new and promising nucleus for next year's work. The club wishes to recognize its indebtedness to Miss Irene Van Zanten and Doctor Nykerk for their active aid on the Eastern trip, and to Doctor Dimnent, President of the College, whose unfailing support and ready assistance made possible this year's pleasant adventures and noteworthy achievements.

The Men's Glee Club Music holds an important place in college activities. It is but a natural expression of the gay college spirit. The Hope College Men's Glee Club was organized in the fall of 1924. From an insignificant start it has developed until now it holds a prominent position in the life of Hope College. T r u e it is that during first practices, there ensued strains never heard before in the realm of music, but faithful practise under the leadership of Mrs. Fenton has eliminated the discords and the Club is on the way to render a very high grade of music. It was deemed wise not to give public programs during this first year of organization before the Club was firmly established. W e hope in a year or two to develop a grade of music which will be a matter of pride to our Alma Mater. Director

Hope Orchestra The Hope College Orchestra has again come into her own. Last year proved rather a disastrous one. Several of its members left school and some changes in the school of music faculty made changes in the directorship of the orchestra necessary, all of which hindered the progress of the organization. The present organization under the splendid directorship of Mr. Harvey Fairbanks is doing very commendable work. Several public appearances have been made with good results. The year 1924-1925 finds Hope College with a thriving orchestra.

Football Eureka—I have found it. Ever since the days of '19 when football, the most popular of college sports, was again allowed on the campus, the Orange and Blue has been represented by an eleven. The teams were good, considering the difficulties they were forced to overcome; the coaching under Schouten's leadership was excellent; and the men were heart and soul imbued with the real football spirit. But the student-body refused to become interested. Despite the urgings of Coach and team alike, the Hopeites did not support the football teams.

"Flip around end!"

"A plunge thru Ferris' line !"

However, this year something must have happened to waken the students. Not only did they turn out in great numbers at the home games, but whenever it was possible, a large group of students accompanied the eleven on their trips. The effect of this harmonious attitude of the student body wias plainly evident. In every game the squad felt more sure of themselves and were able to feel some real college spirit behind them. They felt for the first time that gridiron battles really counted with the students and the fans. The support of the school was only one factor, however, which contributed towards a successful season—a large number of Freshmen and Sophomores responded to Coach Schouten's call, and some real material was discovered. Searchlights were erected, which made longer practice sessions possible, thus, in a measure, overcoming the handicap which laboratory hours have always given the coaching staff. With a splendid nucleus of nine veterans headed by captain-elect George Damson, Hope's football prospects for 1925 look good. \Y '27. Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct. Nov. Dec.

Basketball Again the laurels of State Basketball Championship have come to Hope. The past season Hope's cagers have established a record which compares favorably with any of those in the past. The entire squad of 1923 reported to Coach Schouten in the fall and it was not long before "Jack" had developed two teams of high calibre.

The schedule

opened with three easy teams and the Royal Ravens, Trinity Lutherans, and Calvin College were overcome.

Next a holiday game was played with the Denver

Tigers and our team met its first defeat. College came to our

twice but avenged each defeat with a victory. A team is often as strong as its reserve men and during the past season Coach Schouten had five experienced subs whom he could send into the game at any time without weakening the team.

The experience these reserve men received has

proved very valuable to them and although five of the varsity will be lost by graduation, " J a c k " has developed a new combination which promises another season of victories.

Baseball, 1924 The year of 1924 witnessed one of the most successful of Hope's baseball seasons. Playing a schedule which called for games with some of the state's strongest teams, Hope won five out of the eight games. Only M. A. C , Kalamazoo Normal, and Kalamazoo College were able to defeat Schouten's nine. With the entire squad back, prospects looked real bright. A f t e r about a month of training a veteran team took a trip to Lansing and Kalamazoo. The result was that two defeats were registered against Hope. However the team came back strong and by means of some heavy hitting Ferris was forced to receive a 16-5 beating. Next Kalamazoo College was overcome, 4-1. Poppen's hurling was the feature of this game. The following week found the tables turned and Kalamazoo College gave Hope its final defeat by a 5-4 score. The breaks went against Hope in this game and even though our team got more hits and made less errors than tiie Celery City team still they were defeated. The next week Hope travelled to Big Rapids and playing an air tight game, shut out Ferris, 3-0. Following this the team went to Albion and St. Mary's College. A real struggle was looked for at Albion but rain prevented the playing of the game. At St. Mary's College the team chalked up another victory to the tune of 3-2. The team ended the season by defeating the Mt. Pleasant nine, 11-7. T h u s the baseball team lias made a record of which we may be proud. The loss of only two regulars promises another victorious season for the Orange and Blue. Hope Hope Hope Hope Hope Hope Hope Hope

Track Strong, exuberant youth, buoyant and free, Challenged by the cinders; 'tis nature's decree That d a r e d ; he responds with flying feet T o run with the best, at the Lansing meet. At the crack of the pistol, with fast beating hearts, coursing fighting blood, Hope's trackmen sped through the cold morning air. A f t e r two months of hard training, six lithe racers gave their best of speed and endurance in that gruelling record-breaking run. With many track enthusiasts cheering them on, they won high honors for their Alma Mater, crossing the line immediately a f t e r Kalamazoo and Ypsilanti, the two large normal schools of the State. As was evident last fall, much greater interest is being shown in track. Many responded to the call for runners when school opened, and keen competition ensued. Through faithful training and the able coaching of "Jack" a strong team was developed. Again this spring interest in track received a new impetus when it was learned that a relay had been arranged with Calvin College. Several dual cross country meets are also being sought with other colleges of the state. Thus with such a promising schedule, this sport will again be recognized as worthy of everybody's support. L.

Providence If I am a ship on life's great sea, Then God is H e W h o pilots me. If I am one on life's broad stream, Then God is the One in W h o m I dream. If I am a pilgrim on life's broad way, T h e n God is with me night and day. If I am a warrior on life's battlefield, T h e n God is my strength, my banner, my shield. If I am just man in the living of life. Then God is all that I need in the strife. W h o e v e r I am, whatever I be, God is the One that cares f o r me. W . F. '27

Paths I know a road that walks along T h r o u g h the woods beyond the r i v e r ; It wastes no time as it walks along. F o r a proper road has no time to stay. And a proper road has no mind to stray In the woods beyond the river. But many a path goes rambling on T h r o u g h the woods beyond the r i v e r ; They twist and turn as they ramble on And none can tell where a path may stray O r where you will be at the close of day. If you follow a path by the river. So the wise choose the road that walks along T h r o u g h the woods beyond the r i v e r ; They are well content as they walk along, F o r they know just where the road will end. Though none can see past the path's first b e n d : — But I choose the path by the river. F o r who knows whither the path may lead In the woods beyond the river? W h e r e the faeries dance in a dreamlike mist; T o the rainbow's end; to the H e a r t ' s Desire; T o a darkness thick and a treacherous mire—• I follow the path by the river. M. I. P. '25

Contributions from Alumni Doctor Van Raalte did well, when, with Doc tor Phillip Phelps he selected the anchor as Hope's Symbol. T h e College, indeed proved the "anchor of hope" for the settlers he led to these shores ; which movement, according to one of his judicious contemporaries, was comparable, in its moral grandeur, only to the Puritan emigration f r o m England.

T h e pride of Hope is her large contribution to the American pulpit. Her graduates are scattered over the entire Reformed Church, notably the Dutch Reformed and Presbyterian Communions. She has been and still is the pride of Missions, both at home and abroad. Not a few names on her roster have attained the lustre of stars of the first magnitude. T h e cable of her "Anchor" has therefore encircled the earth and her name is known in all lands and on all continents. Doctor B. B. Warfield of Princeton once defined Hope to me as—"the best training school for the Seminary in all the land". Since I graduated, in 1876, she has grown f r o m "a mustard seed into a tree, in which the birds of the heavens nestle". I am proud to be one of her sons. "Vivat, floreat, crescat Collegium!

Hope College has a definite plan and a still greater opportunity in the vast scheme of American Education. It has long since become the training school for clergy, missionaries and teachers of the Dutch Reformed Church in America but its responsibilities are wider than this. It should in addition serve as a matrix for the intellectual aspirations and the educated leadership of the Western Michigan community in which it is situated, more particularly by training those who will be fortunate enough to enter its classrooms in the best traditions of our civilization and by stimulating them to drink deeply of the inexhaustible wells of art and science. Furthermore, Hope College, founded through the sacrifice and idealism of Dutch pioneers, has a unique opportunity to contribute to the richness of our American culture by serving as a focal point f o r the study and interpretation of the f r e e traditions and rich culture of the Netherlands, an heritage of which we of Dutch descent are justly proud.

T h e r e is a song dear to the hearts of all R o tarians the world over, "I want a girl just like the girl that married dear old dad." Almost every normal man, in defiance of reason, prefers his own mother to anyone else's mother. And the same thing is true of the college graduate's sentiment f o r his college. Common sense tells him that there are many colleges just as good as the one f r o m which he g r a d u a t e d ; every graduate thinks that his own school is the best and the most worthy of praise and affection. By the inelastic laws of mathematics all colleges and all mothers can t be the best, but that never prevents a normal man f r o m believing that his own mother was the best of all possible mothers or the graduate of a college f r o m being certain that his own college is the best of all possible colleges. Percy Marks in "The Plastic Age" attributes many of the troubles of colleges to the unrestrained sentimentalism of their alumni. Being genuinely interested in maintaining high standards at Hope, I shall h?lp not to endanger those standards by sentimentalizing my college, except to the extent that, in defiance of reason, I shall continue to think of it a j the best of all possible colleges.

H o p e College may easily rid herself of many of the denunciations against denominational schools with which the air is filled. While her halls are filled, for the most part, with a special group of students of a particular faith and a particular national heritage, Hope College has been able to ward off the stigma of provincialism because of her broad charity and her splendidly heroic missionary attitude. While the dangers of intolerance are ever near, she has liberally kept herself informed of activities of men and nations outside. T h e strength of Hope lies in the character of the students that enter each year. They are sensitive to impressions; and when once a vital impression has struck home, one need never fear that a true Hope student will flinch. T h e charge of narrowness may frequently be more fairly applied to larger institutions where the spirit is all but cosmopolitan. " T o see life steadily and to see it whole" certainly demands above all an attitude toward the Divine which will weather all "the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune". Comradeship with the F a t h e r gives the first requisite of a healthy culture.

The Gray Dawn By J. M A R I A N V A N V E S S E M

Aimrded

First Place in the Michigan

Oratorical

Contest for Women

" T h e world has taken a wrong turn which, if persisted in, may lead to the destruction of all civilization. No lover of mankind or of progress, no student of religion, morals or economics can regard the present trend of affairs without feelings of great anxiety. Never was greater need of all those qualities which make the race human and never did they appear to be less manifest." This dismal prophecy, uttered by a group of England's distinguished religious leaders, is only a prototype of scores of similar predictions expressed in contemporary literature. D r i f t i n g along with little thot of the past or of apprehension for the future, we are suddenly startled f r o m our complacency. Is there really danger of our civilization's being snuffed out like a candle that is spent? W h a t are we to say when thotful men tell us with conviction that our boasted civilization is "one with Nineveh and T y r e " ? Such dire predictions f o r our future we are unwilling to accept without protest. Yet, to be fair we must judge f o r ourselves what evils gnaw at the vitals of Western culture. T h r u the dark glasses of these pessimists let us look at our world. First we see nations just emerged, torn and bleeding f r o m a gigantic war instigated by Machiavellian statesmanship. P o w e r ! Each nation's right to expand and enrich itself, irrespective of the rights of other nations—that was the key-note of pre-war philosophy. And today Europe is crushed, overburdened by self-inflicted debt, torn by revolution and anarchism, a ghost of her former self. H o w about America? H a s she fared any better? True, she was not scourged and ravaged by war like her European sisters, but America's enemies are found within. W e behold American politics smirched by unscrupulous politicians thirsty for power, her constitution violated by lawlessness, hooded mobs pretending intense patriotism; we see lawyers prostituting their talents to evade the law ; these same laws we see broken down by citizens who, no longer fearing them, cherish only self-interest. T h e economic escutcheon is blotted by tireless w a r f a r e between the capitalist and his hireling, blotted by thousands of workmen who eke out a bare existence, blotted by child victims sacrificed to greed and riches. About us is a population of restive, heterogeneous peoples divided against themselves ; a youth rebellious against all authority, erecting altars to hedonism. Even our literature, it seems, caters to the baser instincts; newspapers place a premium on scandal and sensationalism. The family, that mainstay of civilization, falls into ruin. W h e n we look thru these dark glasses of despair, we agree with Lothrop Stoddard that Nordic civilization cannot last; with Dean Inge we pity ourselves f o r having been born in this a g e ; we despair for the future of our children. A l a s ! we cry, is there then no hope? Will our efforts bequeath to future generations nothing but a New D a r k Age? If we listen we hear other voices crying in this wilderness—

voices that bring us cheer and comfort. Our literature, though overburdened with that gospel of despair, speaks still of hope, living ever in the heart to pierce the murk of materialism. Even now, declares F r a n k Crane, we are in the trough of a wave of civilization. Could the Dark Ages have been blacker than the period of war we have just passed t h r o u g h ? Glenn F r a n k voices the undertone of hopeful thot spreading thruout our country. H e dedeclares his belief that there are as many indications of a New Renaissance as of a new D a r k Age. I^ar greater than this literature of despair there is a vast literature of hope—a hope, too, which is not the flashy tinsel of professional optimism, but rather the by-product of other works, a corollary to science, philosophy, and art. Those men, he goes on, who ferret out the hopeful by-products of these writings shall be the engineers of the N e w Renaissance. Again our courage rises when no less a man than W a l t e r Raushenbush declares that in no other age would he rather have lived than in this—that the very fact that mankind can today, without malice and fear, feel and criticize social wrongs is one of the most felicitous tributes that can be paid to the age. W i t h these voices of optimism ringing in our ears, we once more search the world, but this time f o r indications, be they ever so faint, of the Renaissance of tomorrow. In Italy we find a surging wave of interest in racial culture—art, music, literature—not an esoteric revival of interest among the upper classes, but a mass movement of the people, a striving for a more abundant life. Young Italy we call it. F a r t h e r North in H u n g a r y and Germany there has arisen a widespread youth movement which had its beginnings before the war. But today it has blossomed forth, and in spite of a few ugly incidents, manifests a sincere and unquenchable desire to see the world at peace forever. Today it stretches out its hand of friendship to America. And does there exist, you ask, a Youth Movement in America? Not as an organized force, I admit, but nevertheless there is in America, raising its head now and again, a silent yet significant Youth Movement. Recall with me the Student Volunteer Conference at Indianapolis, where five thousand of America's choicest young people, irrespective of race, color, or creed, discussed openly and without prejudice, the world's greatest problems. Did you know that f r o m this Conference was born a "Fellowship of Youth for Peace," pledged to abandon war forever? Did you know, too, that the conference method of discussing modern problems is spreading among the youth almost as fast as radio? No one can be ignorant that today a vast wave of religion surges over our country. Altho gloom-mongers bewail the irreverence of our age and the lack of interest in the church, yet it is a fact that there is today a sale of religious literature greater than ever before. Even the newspapers have caught the contagion, and educators prophesy that the day is just at hand when religion will be included in the curricula of all our public schools. In art, we see a wealthy young American launching a campaign against the sensational yellow journalism which corrupts America's youth. And, never has poetry blossomed f o r t h in America as it has in the last decade. Everyone knows, too, of the widespread attempts to acquaint the American child with the music of the masters. Never has America been so keenly interested in the beautiful in homes, in public buildings, in the scenery of the country. Need I mention the general spirit of inquiry in all the sciences. Need we dwell upon the countless attempts at an international peace, a brotherhood between nations? Indeed, I could go on indefinitely. Here, there, everywhere, are raw materials f o r the New Renaissance !

Whence, now, are to come the engineers of this great rebirth? W h a t agencies are to use and organize these raw materials to combat the dark spirit of despair? Can manship founded Politics

politics do it? Many have hoped that a realistic politics, a clean patriotic stateswhich "sees beyond the years" might lead the world in a great international peace on a world-wide spirit of brotherhood. But on every hand we find corruption. is not ready to lead in the self-sacrifice essential to true statesmanship.

Others have hoped that a settlement of economic problems would usher in a new era. But is there today any suggestion of a permanent settlement of economic difficulties? Besides, can material prosperity bring righteousness? Again, men have prophesied that the widespread knowledge of science would redeem mankind. 'Tis true, science has benefited man immeasurably. T ak e f r o m modern civilization the achievements of science, and we find ourselves forlorn, helpless. But science has not truly civilized any nation. W i t h one hand it gives us creature comforts, but with the other it makes possible the most terrific butchery ever known. Indeed, it is today producing weapons of w a r f a r e more and more deadly. In desperation then we turn to education. Surely where knowledge is there will righteousness be found. But no, prisons teem with educated crooks. Little can be expected f r o m a people steeped in the Nietzchean philosophy of "each man for himself and the Devil take the hindmost." Knowledge, we conclude, does not keep people f r o m sin and error. W e are coming to the realization then, that only one agency can save the world f r o m the abyss of materialism—and that agency is the spirit of the Man of Galilee; the spirit which the church of Christ has struggled to keep alive thru nineteen centuries. T h e impossibility of any other solution f o r our national and international difficulties is attested by all thinking men today, f r o m the pious Bishop of York to the agnostic Bernard Shaw. But how does it happen that this spirit has not long ago been diffused thruout the world? W h a t is the matter with the church today? Men have lost their faith in it. Faith still abounds, but men do not replenish it in the church. T h e fear comes over us that the church has lost its vitality, that in its inconsequential cavilings and bickerings over creeds and dogmas, it has lost the essence of the spirit of Christ. Indeed, in its chauvinistic loyalty to denominationalism, it has forgotten the world in which it finds itself. It shrinks f r o m the modern man's economic and social perplexities, and consequently, the modern man is not interested in it. T h e Church is facing today the most tremendous problem of all the ages. Is she willing to die out with civilization? Or will she shake off her lethargy, follow her Master, and remake and redeem the world? T h e challenge to the Church devolves upon you and me, f o r we constitute the Church. Our religion has been too much an opiate deadening our senses to the needs of the world. W e content ourselves too much with blandly chanting that every day in every way the world is growing better and better. W e have boasted of the heritage our sires have bequeathed to us. Shall we be content to bequeath less to our sons and daughters. Our age is one of supreme consequence. Our duty to the unborn generations is not a light one. It means action—it means sacrifice—it means faith. It means the adoption of the mighty spirit of the Christ; the spirit that brot the Puritans into the wilds of America; the spirit that drove John Huss to the stake; the spirit that led the Master Himself to the cross. Oh, students, can you not see beyond the gray dawn of today's confusion, the fair day in which our children shall reap the fruits of the Renaissance born in our hearts?

The Curse Many are the nights that I have laid my weary body on its final resting place—at least f o r that evening, and perplexed and bewildered, wondered about famous passages of famous men or, shall I say, particularly a famous passage f r o m a famous man. "All men are created equal." A h ! how that phrase has stung me—pierced my heart, until, weary, worn and disgusted that a human being could make such an erroneous statement, I dropped off into the great beyond of the land of dreams. But, gentle readers, not only at night has this phrase aroused my motor nerves until I have writhed my hands and torn my hair, but through the waking hours also. " P o o r me—you poor unfortunate, the gods have certainly cursed you," I have exclaimed to myself many and many a time and then a f t e r sympathizing with myself f o r a time I feel much better. Putting it briefly, readers, listeners, sympathizers, countrymen, I am the youngest member of the family. I have never felt the keen satisfaction of teasing "young sister", or shoving my work on "kid brother." It's "Buddie this" and "Buddie that" until I almost grow weary with life. Every time I try to evade some task or other, my mother will say, "You're a spoiled baby. Bud, and it's going to be taken out of you if it takes me ten years. T h e trouble with you is that you get everything and don't appreciate anything. Well, it's high time your f a t h e r and I began to sit on you. T h a t ' s the whole trouble in this family—your father wants me to do all the disciplining." "You're a spoiled baby. B u d " — A h ! how it brings back the savage of my brute ancestors in me,—no wonder the prisons are full. O f t times my mother and father insist that I enter their whirlpool of society with them f o r an evening. I try to rebel but with about as much success as E m m a Goldman or Bob Lafollette. " T o mingle with highly intellectual people is just what you need, Bud," and so poor me goes to the "mogul Club" hand in hand with mama and papa. It's the same old story. Everybody gives you the handclasp and tells you how glad they are to see you when they don't mean it any more than a rat. T h e gentle, subdued little echoes of laughter which burst f o r t h f r o m the members of the fair sex have about as much real downright mirth in them as does Chopin's funeral march. But this is all old news to most of you and all this camouflage and hypocrisy doesn't bother me a great deal. T h e thing that gives me need f o r worry is when my mother takes me around the club and introduces me. "Yes, he's my baby, and he's a pretty nice baby—his mother surely thinks so" whereupon my dear mother gives my arm a little lovepat and gives f o r t h a gentle bit of laughter. "My, but your son is a big fellow f o r his age, isn't h e ? " " M y yes, he's taller than his father, but he's always going to be mother's darling baby." I don't know whether she does it to make me angry or without thinking, but that word "baby" just makes me crazy. I've told her about a million times if I've told her once not to use that cursed word in speaking about me, but somehow or other she just delights in it. Whenever I go out of an evening to attend a party or the like, the old familiar messages come clanging to my ears. " D o be careful, Buddie, please don't drive fast. If anything happened to mother's baby she would just die. These terrible automobile accidents just worry me to death. Do be careful. Bud, f o r mother's sake, and remember Buddie that mother just can't sleep until a f t e r you're in. Besides, there is another day coming." Whereupon I attempt to make my exit. "Aren't you going to kiss your poor mother goodbye. T h a t ' s a good boy—Do be careful. Bud." Of course I agree with my family to the nth degree; it gives them peace of mind, and I am a confirmed believer in making things easy f o r the family. F o r some reason or other it sometimes happens that I don't get home until a f t e r 11 :00 o'clock P. M. I turn the motor and lights of the car off and attempt to coast down into the garage with a minimum amount of noise. If our driveway was made of cement instead of stones I might possibly manage to get into the house unknown, but not the way conditions are now. T h e stones crack like loud peals of thunder in the quiet and peace of the night. Dad is generally waiting f o r me in the living room and mother's voice never fails to sound forth f r o m the top of the stairs the minute I step into the hall. "Oh, Buddie dear, your father and I just couldn't sleep until our precious boy got home. This is an a w f u l l y late hour though. B u d ; don't let this happen again." And so kind readers, if any of you think you are cast among the unfortunates, just compare yourselves with me and with all my troubles and misfortunes, and I know your blood will at once rush forth in wild glee, as do the tiny brooks when the first spring w a r m t h has melted open their winding course. I am still pondering over that great "saying," "All Men are created equal" and all I am asking of you is that you dig down into your hearts and give me just a bit of sympathy. " P o o r me—I feel so bad f o r you." R. B. '26.

The Obligation of American Stewardship By G E R R I T W I L L I A M W E S S E L I N K

Awarded

Place in the Michigan

Oratorical

Contest for Men

Out of all the relationships of life, spring obligations. W e are born into a family, and immediately the relation of child to parent is established and f r o m this relationship certain obligations arise. W e are not only born into families but also into citizenship in a nation, and as long as the relationship resulting f r o m this birth exists, obligations are placed upon us as citizens which cannot be ignored. These obligations are the responsibilities of citizenship. Of all the obligations of citizen to nation none is greater than those of an American citizen to his government. In no other country does freedom and privilege count f o r more, or citizenship attain to greater dignity, than in the United States. Each citizen must assume a share in the administration and responsibility of government. H e makes the law as well as obeys it. As be acts, so the nation acts. Upon the individual citizen rests the integrity, yea, the very existence of our Republic. Nowhere are the responsibilities of citizenship more sacred and solemn. Our country was destined to be a leader. During the past century she has grown f r o m a weak and despised nation to the mightiest and greatest nation in the world. She stands today without a peer, her prestige in international affairs unrivalled, her commercial supremacy established, her influence felt throughout the world. And of these achievements we are justly proud. But we have unquestionably attained our present position of power and affluence, because of the democratic principles and high ideals of citizenship established in our life and government by our forefathers. I do not mean to assert, however, that we have lived up to our ideals If we examine American tendencies today we shall observe a serious degeneration of our ideals. W e have but recently passed through a wave of lawlessness that surpassed in its intensity anything we have yet known. Even today, in spite of the multiplicity of our laws, we have lawlessness unprecedented and unchecked. It shows itself in the Ku Klux Klan, H e r r i n Massacres, and Teapot Domes. It crops out in the f o r m of the Franks murder case, sensational robberies, g r a f t schemes, lynchings and mob rule. More than 75,000 were convicted of crime in 1923, and we have the unenviable reputation of leading the world in crime. But much more lamentable and significant is our lack of law enforcement. for law and authority is prevalent throughout the nation. There are today men inence in our communities, who condone certain illegal acts because they believe acts should not have been made illegal. They assume that since they do not

Prohibition, they need not obey the Eighteenth A m e n d m e n t ; and if they can evade that law, they jest about it and applaud it as an accomplishment. W h e n defiance of the law breaks f o r t h among our respected citizens,—honest laborers, enterprising capitalists, reliable business men,—it is then that we are concerned. F o r then there is a weakening of our national morale. Upon these citizens rests the responsibility f o r the ultimate success or failure of our government. Parallel to this attitude of disrespect f o r law and order has been the growth of corruption and laxness in politics and government. In but one period of our history has g r a f t and greed in politics been more conspicuous than at the present time. W e have a striking example in our neighboring state of Illinois. T h e government of Illinois is in the hands of an organized band of politicians and "bosses", using their governmental power and privilege to advance their own interests at the expense of the commonwealth. About a year ago the governor of Indiana was sentenced to imprisonment f o r fraudulent use of the mails to enrich himself. Today Governor Davis of Kansas is being tried on charge of accepting bribes. T h e scandals of the last administration are well-known to us all. Corruption in government has still another phase, and that is the attitude of governmental officials toward their duties. Many of our congressmen have no regard whatsoever for our national interests, but are dominated entirely by partisan feeling and sectional interests. And yet we seem to condone such action by keeping these men in office. Even the courts, the supposed safeguards of our liberty, have not been f r ee from stain. Money, unscrupulous lawyers, and legal technicalities o f t e n combine to defeat justice. Our judiciary is unable to cope with crimes mounting in number and violence and it is an apparent fact that the failure of our criminal court is one of the basic causes of crime. Chief Justice T a f t says "that the administration of criminal law in this country is a disgrace to our civilization." W h e n the attitude of governmental officials becomes one of laxity, the function of government is subverted and the laws fall into disrepute. You know I have not exaggerated conditions. A c a r e f u l investigation of the situation will show you that I have drawn but a mild arraignment of the spirit of our age. Conditions are indeed deplorable, and must be dealt with. "As most virtues and vices of society may be traced to social ideals," so the present conditions may be traced to a lax and indiflferent citizenship. If evils exist, they exist by the consent of the people and the people alone are responsible. Kossuth pointed out the danger when he sounded the warning, "If shipwreck shall ever befall your country, the rock upon which it will split will be your devotion to your private interests at the expense of your duty to the state." Self-government is not automatic; it is self-directing. T h e solution of our problem must come through an awakened and active citizenship. T h e first demand is f o r conscientious and intelligent use of our right of suffrage,—a simple duty but very important. A multitude of reputable citizens, year by year, fail to vote. It is they who are responsible for any weakness in government or corruption in politics; it is they who are responsible f o r laws lacking in wisdom. They fail in their first duty as citizens. Friends, the right to elect rulers of the land is a great privilege but a greater responsibility. It is a duty from which we may not shrink.

Obedience to law is of still greater importance. It is a duty because in our government each citizen has a share in the enactment of law. It is the essence of our government that the will of the majority should control, and no man should put himself in defiance to that will simply because he does not concur in the views of the majority. T h e cry of personal liberty is often heard today in justification of many a lawless act. Men and women insist upon their rights and privileges, but they seldom think of their duties and obligations. They forget that individual welfare may mean general distress. If a man question the wisdom of a law, it is his obligation to society to help create a better one, while it is his duty to obey the original as long as it exists. But it must not be supposed that obedience implies simply refraining f r o m doing things forbidden. It is the willing, active effort that makes obedience a virtue. H e alone enters fully into the spirit of the law who throws himself earnestly forward in the effort to do all the nation calls for, and also to secure a like action f r o m others. H e must evermore uphold the law "as something sacred, something not to be thrown down and trampled in the dust by any one or any party." W e must reverence all laws as a part of that structure which makes possible our existence as one people. guj the responsibilities of citizenship must not be regarded as limited to voting or to obedience to law. It is said, that in a representative government the ideals of the officeholder and the nation are but a reflection of the character of its citizenship. And therefore, above all other obligations, is the obligation of personal character. Kach citizen owes to the nation the duty of maintaining in himself a high clean, moral character. "For character is one of those forces, which, going out beyond itself, touches for good or for ill all within its reach." W e force the stamp of our personality upon the community in which we dwell, and through that influence affect for weal or woe the nation of which we are a part. It is an obligation which is binding at all times and in all places. It is the one duty which underlies all others : "with it we may hope to realize something of the greatness and nobility of citizenship in this republic; without it the loudest voices of assumed patriotism are but mockery." Fellow-citizens, we rejoice to believe that generally, both in its inner life and its dealings with other nations, our country has striven f o r those things which make for truth, justice, honesty, and purity. W e are proud of all its material development, its increase in population, its growth in wealth, but we rejoice the more in its high and elevating ideals. W e point to its deeds of kindness to other nations; to all that it has done to bring about world peace; to all that it has done for liberty and democracy; and to countless other acts of lofty character. But let us remember that the sources and causes of every noble deed in our country s life are to be found in the thoughts and lives of individual citizens, who have succeeded in t r a n s f e r r i n g some part of their own high character into the life of the nation;—citizens who have performed their every civic duty with a view toward the betterment of the nation. Students, I plead tonight for intelligent citizenship; I plead for an enlightened public opinion; I plead for obedience to l a w ; but, above all, I plead for noble and worthy citizens,—citizens like Roosevelt, citizens like Wilson, citizens like Coolidge. I appeal to you, young men and young women, lovers of your country, loyal to all its best interests, filled with unbounded faith in its future, willing to live, to serve, and to die, if need be, for its honor and glory. I want to urge you to build up within yourselves that pure and lofty character which makes the individual be loved, which gives him power, and which causes his life to be of service to his community, his nation, and the world. That privilege belongs to you.

" F o r the Female of the Species—"

"Unc' Hen, how did you happen to come here to live?" there was a twinkle of friendly curiosity in the city man's eye. Unc' H e n sent him a keen glance f r o m beneath his craggy eyebrows. Then, deliberately, he bit off a huge chunk of tobacco and offered the remnant of the black brick to his companion. " H e v a chaw of chawin' terbaccer," he said, "thet is, if ye chaw. I don't know if ye chaw or not, do ye chaw? Ye say ye don't? Well," he went on, reflectively rubbing his taut cheek with a caressing hand, "hit were this-a-way. W e all lived in Breathitt county; my pap and mammy and my brother. Pap, he follered preachin' some. My brother were quareturned and sullen like. H i t peared we didn't favor each other's company none like most brothers. So mostly he went one way and I ginerly went th'other. "Quare," he muses with a puzzled frown, "how ornery things can be. H i t turned out thet we wuz both acourtin' the same gal. She were the likeliest gal in the holler, M a r t h y were. W i t h that black, crinkly hair of hern, and them big black eyes, law me, she sure were a sight to this world. 'Peared I couldn't stand hit noway to see my brother. Here, he were, start over to Marthy's. T h e m days my blood wuz hot, boy. But pappy, he would say, 'Now boys, now boys, scriptur don't allow fer brothers to do that-a-way. Bridle the tongue, hit sayeth bridle the tongue.' I'd be plumb shamed, but Here, he'd just laff and directly I'd hear his horse gallopin' up the holler. "One even' when I'd been astudyin' over hit till I couldn't stand hit no more, I 'lowed I'd go hunting. H i t were a pretty evenin'. T h e moon made the hills all white on top like there wuz white civers spread over 'em and the hollers wuz black and deep. H i t were powerful still, ary breath of wind astirrin'. T h e air felt soft and sticky like. By'n by I heared a noise, far-off. Thump-thump, hit went, thump-thump. Good, thinks I, there's a deer u p thar. 'Pears like a body feels particularly no-count all alone in them big hills. Seemed like I were uncommon glad to get to the place I were aimin' fer. Hit were a little clearin' in the trees where the ground wuz salty like, and the deer used to come thar of an evenin', "I hid behind an old stump and waited. T h e trees all around stood black and quiet, but the clearin' wuz white with moonlight. I could see the moon agrinnin' down at me. I heared nothin' but my own breathin'. T h e n I heared that quare noise again acomin' thru the trees. Thump-thump, thump-thump. I got mighty quiet like to my knees and laid my gun across the stump. All at once I seed a deer in the clearin'. H i t were the prettiest deer ever I seed. H i t were as round and smooth, ez fat ez butter. Hit had the sightliest legs, b u t , — H I T D I D N ' T H E V N O H E A D ! And hit were acomin' straight fer m e ! I didn't wait to fire no gun, I ran like I never ran before and fell and rolled and jumped down thet ar mountain and all the time I heared behind me thump-thump, thump-thump, the critter were a follerin' of m e ! I got home and fell thru the door, foamin' at the mouth and helpless as a babe. My mam and pap jumped outen bed, and mam turned me over to see where I wuz shot and pap took his gun and made to go outside: but Here, he jest looked at me and laffed and said, " A r y thing in the world ails him, he's only plumb scared to death," and then he laffed again like a brother ortn't. "I up and told about the thing I'd seed and my brother axed me to take him up thar. H e 'lowed he'd shoot my ha'nt, and finally to get shet of him, I promised to do hit.

" W e went one evenin' when hit were agettin' dark. T h e leaves had begun to fall and the branches waved agin the sky like the arms of people atossin' in pain. I carried a light but my brother, he carried a gun and we travelled without a word betwixt us. Pretty soon we beared a noise, thump-thump, thump-thump. H e r e he looked at me and I looked at him. 'Yes,' says I, 'that's hit. W h a t do you 'low hit to be?' " 'Huh, hit's nary a thing in the world but the horn over at Aunt 'Mericy's down the holler,' he said "I knowed thet horn were more than f o u r 'chaws' off, but I said nary a word and we went on like before. Atter a while we got to the clearin' and my brother fixed the rifle and sot hit jest right. H e laffed but I seed he swallered hard atter hit. I reckon the devil hisself must hev got inter me then. "I sot the light on the stump and of a suddint I wiggled flat on my stomach and hid behind some of the underbresh thereabouts. Then I groaned. Hit sure sounded ez if someone like to hev died. Law me,"—and a chuckle broke thru his soft slow drawl, "you'd orter seed thet Here. Hiz hair raised up on his head and he yells, 'Hen, whar be ye? H e n — H e n ! ' sech a quare thin scream he giv hit most made my bar raise up. H e got up and came stumbling around the clearin'. And when he comes unbeknownsed clost ter me, I reached out and breshed my hand all cold and shaky acrost his face. Hit were too much fer him. H e screeched fit ter scare fifty ha'nts and ran. W h e n I got home he were in the corner by the fire, his face all glistenin' wet and shiny, and his knees ashakin'. W h e n he seed me his j a w sorter drapped and he feeled his throat like hit were gettin' tight. 'Didn't hit get ye. H e n ? ' he gasped, and I says, 'Law no. Here. A r y thing in the world wuz the matter. You wuz only plumb scared to death!' And then his eyes got black en little, with a look like red lightnin' in 'em, and I had a sorter cold feelin' down my back when I went to bed, and I feeled as if I hadn't got shet of thet ha'nt yit. "Thet winter I built me a little cabin and me and Marthy wuz married. Hit were a particular cold year fer Kaintuck, and hit were right lonesome in ther holler. T h e rats wuz powerful bad thet year and soon hit 'peared to me thet my corn wuz disappearin' faster than hit ort to. I fixed up all my snares but hit didn't do ary bit of good. One night nigh half a bushel wuz gone, and I says to myself, Hen, says I, that ar rat is a sure nuff powerful critter. Ef he can pack thirty pounds of corn 1 want to see him. Thet ar rat, says I, is a two-legged rat. So"—with an unconscious crisping of the lazy drawl—"I makes up my mind to lay fer him. "I watched every night fer a week, but didn't see ary a soul but my brother. More sullen like than ever he were with scarce a civil word in his head. My woman wuz sceared of him and always wuz mighty restless like whenever she seed him. 'He means ye no good,' she would say, 'he ', but I never would let her say ary thing agin' my kin. She axed me not to let him come, but he allays were quare turned, and a body cain't help what they're borned with, beside I never yet turned my kin f r o m my door. So he used to come and set by my fire of an evenin'. "Then one night I beared some one acomin' up the dark. straight and then I heered,

Atter supper the old feller sat and telled us-uns yarns of the time when he were young.

" 'Lawsy me,' he said, 'y e do favor your grand-paw particular, Hen. A f o r e we wuz converted and feeled a callin' ter be ministers of the gospel, we did act mighty feisty. T h a r weren't no devilment we two didn't hev a hand in.' "I seed Marthy look at me with a smile apullin at ther corners of her mouth. " 'I recellect me', the old preacher were awarmin' up, 'your grandpaw were a powerful bold man. Things wuz sartin sure stirred up bout the time yer pap moved this-a-way. H i t were the time of the feud twixt yer family and the Mourrice's. Hit weren't s a f e noway to be seen friendly with them in them days. I mind me well the time he killed Mosey, the last of them Mourrices. H e were a likely lad and hit sorter seemed a shame. T h e way of hit were this. " 'Mosey's old g r a n d m a w were adyin', and she reached up and got a rifle thet were ahangin' over the fire board. "Mosey," says she, look ye here." And there wuz six notches in the stock of the gun. " T h e m , " says she, "wuz cut thar by yer pappy and his brothers. Ye know what they mean. Each one of 'em got his man. And Mosey," says she, grabbin' his strong hands with her shriveled old claws, "pears to me I cain't die in peace nohow so long as there is one of them Claylins left. They kilt yer pap and his kin. I want thet ye should do fer one of them varmints. Remember yer mammy, Mosey, she died tryin' to take keer of ye. And yer pappy were burnt in his house, he were, B o y ; yer a man now, ain't yer? ain't y e r ? " and Mosey grabbed the gun and got the seventh notch deep and true and run outer ther cabin. And the old granny, she jest called down one black curse on the Claylin's and died ahuggin' the old rifle to her. " 'Mosey, he rode gallopin up the rode ashootin' his gun in the air and yellin' like one of them Indians the schoolmaster tells about. Scouts telled yer grandpaw he were comin'. H e gets his horse and gun and starts out to meet him. Law, I kin see hit yit. Yer grandpappy on his big black horse, asettin' so straight in ther saddle, his hand carelesslike at his side, his mouth close shet and his eyes alookin' straight up the r o a d ; and there came thet young devil of a boy like a whirlwind, his hair flyin' and his gun cuttin' circles around his head. Like greased lightnin' they passes each other, and each one shot at the same time at thother one. And the wonder of hit were they wuz both killed; yer grandpaw shot straight thru the temple, and Mosey thru the heart. T h e r e wuz the biggest burying ever ye seed. I never seed wimin take on like the wimin did thet day. T h e r e wuz six preachers and a big revival along with hit. Hit were ther I were called to preach along with yer pappy. H e swore he were agoin' ter git out of ther country and git a new start, and so " H i t were an old story to me and I didn't much heed what he were sayin'. But M a r t h y ! I see her face were gettin' whiter and whiter en she looked at me as if I were a rarin' copperhead or somethin' worse. " ' Y o u , ' she says, 'You—•! H e were my pappy! I tells ye—laff kase he's dead will y e ! think yerself proud kase yer grandpaw killt my pappy. Think ye kin boast of hit now when all our menfolks is dead.

H i t weren't yer pappy. not Claylin.'

Yer name is Haynes,

" 'Much ye know,' she snapped at me, 'I were raised by my grandmaw, thet's why they calls me Haynes,' and she drawed as pretty a bead on me as I hope to see. " ' W e l l , ' says I, 'shoot, M a r t h y ! I ain't blamin' ye none.' rifle away and jest drapped inter my arms and cried.

"OT preacher Anson were considerable upset when he seed the storm he'd rared, but we fixed thet we wouldn't tell us no-one, and Marthy put the rifle back in the corner. "Jest then my brother happened in. I kinder wished he hadn't come right then, but hit couldn't be holped. My woman jest looked at him and he at her,—nary a word did they say.

"I seed Marthy smile to herself then but hit didn't make her look kindly none. 'Yes, Here,' says she, 'hit's ha'nted, this place. Ain't it quare how ye comed to know hit, and I'll tell ye now'—she laffed again so that my har prickled—'hit's goin' ter be ha'nted worser than ever directly.' " H e give a quick look at her, then a glance at me that I couldn't rightly understand, then he looked at her and laffed hisself. Then he left, slammin' the door atter him. "I went inter the other room to watch onct more, and left M a r t h y astarin' outer the winder inter the gray shadders outside. I must have dozed off I rcckon, seein' I hadn't taken a night in bed fer better'n a week, and fust I knew, I beared a noise thet made my hands get cold and wet and my mouth feel dry and stiff. Thump-thump, hit went, thump-thump. Hit were a noise thet brought back to me the ha'nt in the moonlight and the red fire in my brother's eyes. Thump-thump, hit went again, I looked outside and I seed a black shadder aslippin' amongst ther gray ones. Hit would stop a spell and then of a sudden fly on again. Hit went round the patch of firelight and headed straight fer my cornshed. My gun laid acrost my knees and I tride to pint hit straight but my hands shook like I were sightin' my fust deer, and they wouldn't steady. T h e noise kept on regular—thump-thump, thump-thump—and now hit 'peared to me like hit were directly behind me. I didn't wait no more but fired toward the place I seed thet black shadder go. I thought in the quiet thet came atter I beared a horse agallopin', and then I knowed thet hit were my heart I beared. W h e n I could look, I seed the black thing in a heap on the ground. Hit didn't stir ary a bit. I took a step towards hit, then one more and another. Peared like thet same old moon were agrinnin' down at me. Careful, quiet, slippin' behind stumps and rocks, I edged up to thet thing lying there. I reached out with my gun and techcd hit. Hit didn't move. I pushed a little harder. Hit felt soft and yit hit were heavy. Of a suddent I knowed the truth. Hit were a m a n ! I turned hit over and I seed thet hit w e r e — H e r e ! "Then I went plumb foolish fer I ran fer the house like they wuz an army of ha'nts ahangin' to my coat-tails. I slammed the door atter me and then—my knees felt like water fer there in the same room with me I beared thet same noise again! And there on the floor by the winder sat Marthy, arockin herself backards and forards, alaffin' to herself way deep down in her throat, and her eyes wuz fixed on thet black heap in our clearin'. On her lap were my old fiddle—like her arm wuz a machine she were apoundin' the back of hit,— thump-thump, thump-thump, thump-thump, thump-thump. "Yes," said old Unc. Hen, abruptly stepping inside the door, "I left Breathitt, and I hain't been back thar, sence." A. M. T . '26.

Sorosis Society

It is just twenty years ago that the golden crescent with its gleaming pearls of friendship first shone on the Hope Campus.

Today as yesterday, it gives to

every Sorosite sister the beautiful ideals of "strength" and "honor", and the desire to make these ideals guiding stars in the development of her character, and in her influence on her associates. Society life and friendships draw out the finest qualities of womanhood, and bring us nearer to being ideal college girls. "Let's strive to keep our crescent ever shining. Shining brightly all the ages through."

Sibylline Society It is in doing things together, in aspiring together, in finding in one another the joy of comradeship, that one experiences trne happiness and satisfaction of spirit. The loyalty and teamwork which we enjoy in all our undertakings has spurred us on to greater achievement.

W i t h every meeting a desire for greater

knowledge and culture, for the best that life holds, deepens in our hearts. W e love to think of "the blue of the heaven and the grey of the dawn" as permanent symbols that, in later years, will inspire a spirit attuned to all created things. All the happy memories of our college days, of loyal friendships, of glorious good times, make us glad that we have been Sibyls.

Dorian Society "Love, loyalty, and friendships fair"—how we Dorians delight to sing these words!—not only because they promise lasting satisfaction and truest happiness, but also because they 'rouse fond memories of our Dorian circle which has given us real comradeship in visions of delightful climes to be explored, of higher ideals and hopes, of realms of service. W e reverence "simplicity and truth"—simplicity that betokens greatness of heart and symmetry of life—truth that fights sham, ignorance, and prejudice; truth that teaches all the glorious realities that lift men to Heaven. May our lives ring with simplicity and truth, love, loyalty and friendship of which we happily sing.

Cosmopolitan Society

As a unit in the organization of our college, the Cosmopolitan Society has ever endeavored to care for the responsibilities which fell to its lot.

It has helped

lift the burdens and aided the victories of the college as a whole.

As a group of friends, it has made of each member a true brother sharing joy and sorrow.

It has aided and uplifted each man, always with the object in

view of bringing into play the best potentialities he possessed; of making of him a real Christian and a real man of work.

With loyal Friendship, a deep regard for T r u t h , and an untiring Progress, the desires of each brother, the Society has aimed to be truly cosmopolitan in its view while working for the interests of Hope College.

Emersonian Society To foster the literary capacity of the individual student: to make him more proficient in his preparation for his vocation; to make him more at ease socially; to develop his moral sense of values; and, above all, to add those qualities which mark him as a man and a Christian gentleman—these are the ideals which we hold up before us as we are banded together under the name of Emerson. Six years of intensive work have resulted in a secure foundation for our temple of fame, a foundation unshakable as long as men are building on it with efforts permeated by love and honor.

May " O u r beloved Maroon and White"

ever be found with its face upturned, ready to lay hold of success—a success which shall only lay claim to the term when it is diffused with the ideals of Old Hbpe. "And though bright college years, shortest, best of our days, Shall fade with the ebbing sea's tide; Still shineth the light through our memory's haze, Of our friendships that ever abide."

Addison Society Open Sesame

was the password to a mysterious cave where wondrous

treasures were hidden.

To possess the password which opens the priceless treas-

ures of life is the aspiration of every true Hopeite.

The purpose of Addison is

to aid men in the realization of that aspiration. Leadership, Fidelity, and Culture are the keys which will unbolt the doors to many mysterious treasures.

These treasures are the hearts of our fellow men.

The world challenges us to leadership, not leading men down to the shackles of avarice, jealousy, and selfishness, but to the higher plane of pure thoughts, clean speech, and noble deeds. Fidelity will open to us the hearts of all humanity, first fidelity to ourselves, for " T o thine own self be true. And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man." then, fidelity to the trust placed in us by our fellow men, and to the principles of honor and integrity. A true Christian culture, refined, sympathetic and tactful is the means of approach to this elusive treasure cave of humanity.

So let Addison men, under

the Purple and White, mingled with the Orange and Blue, ever push forward in loyal service for Addison, for Flope, for the World, and for the Master.

The Preparatory School The Preparatory School may have become smaller in "body" during the last few years but not in "spirit".

There still remains the "peppy" spirit which has,

we believe, increased during the last year.

W e are now independent of the col-

lege department and can now boast of a separate principal, faculty, and chapel worship. W e have been known as "only Preps", but no longer can that be truthfully said.

W e feel that we can be justly proud of our school.

The Preparatory

School has maintained its standard of scholarship and its high ideals.

O u r so-

cieties, Meliphone and Minerva, are very well attended and great interest is shown in them.

Many more students have entered the Declamation Contest than

formerly and the Basketball games have been very exciting. The true " P r e p " spirit has been perpetuated also by occasional parties to which we all look forward.

W e all feel that by going to the Preparatory School,

by being in a Christian atmosphere, we are not only better prepared to enter Hope College but the graduates are well equipped to strive for whatever their aims may be.

Meliphone Society Societies as well as men are known by their characteristics. The more outstanding these are the better they become known. Meliphone Society has several out-standing characteristics of which a few may be mentioned: Its Seniority, for it is the oldest society on the C a m p u s ; Its Uniqueness, for theie are no other men's societies in the Preparatory Department; Its Exclusiveness, for only desirable students are admitted; Its Inclusiveness, for ' ' P r e p ' ' has no undesirable students. T h e graduates of Meliphone often become the leaders of the college organizations. Meliphone rules the Campus through the sons it sends forth. And its sons stray beyond the Campus. In every walk of life they press forward, and when they look back to survey the road over which they have travelled, these words bring to all a reminiscent thrill: " W e always cheer whene'er we hear That name known f a r and wide. The name of Meliphone, With us will e'er abide." OFFICERS

Basketball An unusual amount of interest has been shown in " P r e p . " Athletics during this year.

Baseball and basketball drew the most interest from the men.

In bas-

ketball, with H e r m a n Knol as manager and captain and three other veterans of last year, a strong combination was formed.

Games were played with local and

outside high schools, as well as with class and independent teams f r o m Holland. The team enjoyed a successful season, winning the majority of its games.

With

four veterans back next year a good season is being looked for. The " P r e p " students have always supported their basketball team with great enthusiasm.

They attended ail the games faithfully and many accompanied the

team on their trips to neighboring cities.

Undoubtedly many of the college students know all about us here across the street.

W e have a splendid school, with modern buildings, an able and consecrat-

ed faculty, and a student spirit of fellowship which is excellent.

W e are one of

the two seminaries of the Reformed Church in America, and our student body like Hope's is highly representative and very cosmopolitan.

In addition, all feel

the privilege of preparing for service in the Master's vineyard.

There has been an all around steady growth of the Western Seminary during the past years.

Today she is better and more strongly equipped than ever.

To

young men of high purpose and dominant zeal, she presents a call to enter, thru her, into large fields of usefulness.

ONCE UPON A TIME Once upon a time, long ago, there was a student who came to this school with the solemn intention that "he was going to study". A f t e r having been on the campus a few days he consulted Professor Welmers. H e was told that to make a success of life he must study ten hours a day and take Greek. H e consulted many other Professors and they were unanimous in their opinion that their subject was just the thing he wanted. H e consulted one of the students and was advised to take up "Girlology" and today he is an experienced man. He is married. FRESHMAN STUNT The Letter: Dear F a t h e r : Roses are red, violets are blue, send me ten dollars and I will owe you. The Answer: Dear Son: Roses are red, roses are pink, inclosed you will find ten dollars, I don't think. She—O—Algy, you Americans are so slow. H e — O h , F m afraid I don't grasp you. She—That's just it. H e (after kissing her suddenly)—Er—er, F m sorry I did that but my nerve made me do it. She—I like your nerve. AT T H E THEATRE If you are Well Bred : W h e n there is a long line always stop and kid the box office person and entertain him with a few gags. Ask him if he has any seats facing the stage. This always makes a hit with the people behind you. When going down the aisle, the husband should always precede the wife, as this is probably his only chance of ever getting ahead of her. W h e n the lady in front of you refuses to take her hat ofif, just put yours on, and let someone behind you start the rumpus. Always tip the usher. By so doing. you get a program which everybody gets for nothing. Be sure to remind the people in front of you that you saw the star when she was in Burgun, Ohio, playing in "Uncle Tom's Cabin". When going out during the show look carefully to the left and right. If there are four people between you and the center aisle and thirteen people between you and the left aisle, go out the left aisle.

In this day and age it makes no difference what one's vocation in life may be, everyone must know his business:— A doctor must have patience, A dentist must have pull, A banker must have interest, A saloon keeper must have spirits, A real estate man must have lots, A preacher must know how to tie knots, An actor must have wits, A tailor must have fits, A philosopher must know life. But in this world of sorrow and strife, A man should know better than to talk back to his wife. LOVE There is an object lesson shown in making love. Very few know the true art of making love. The way a young man should make love to his girl is like this: He should drop down on his knees before her and say: My Josafine, my Kerosene, my Gasoline, my Benzene, my Vaselene, 1 come from above my station without hesitation or preservation to ask you to become my relation and help this great nation." H O W T O G E T A N " E " IN Y O U R S T U D I E S 1—Get a front seat and look intelligent. 2—Ask all the questions you can think of. (Do not have them apply too closely to the lesson or you may have to show your ignorance.) 3—Drive all your points home with a gesture. (Same set of gestures will do in each case.) 4—Be sure to visit the teachers often. 5—A little work is all right, but why make mountains out of mole hills when it is not expected of you ? As the Freshman says it: Twinkle, twinkle, little star. How I wonder what you are. U p above the world so high. Like a diamond in the sky. As the Senior says it: Scintillate, scintillate diminutive constellation. Interrogatively question your constitutional elements. In your prodigious altitude above the terrestrial sphere. Similar unto the carbonaceous adamantive crystal. "Let

me kiss your hand," said Connie, With burning looks of love, "I can remove my veil," said Ruth, "Much better than my glove."

Most women live for the present and the handsomer the present the better they live.

H o w to Cure a Cold (Composite

Advice

of Our Friends)

Keep all windows open and avoid letting fresh air into the house. Dress warmly, wearing thin clothing and few of them. Take no medicine and use doctor's prescriptions as directed. Keep to your room and get out into the open all you can. Stay in bed and rest, taking long walks daily. Avoid all exertion and do not fail to take some form of violent exercises. Avoid getting your feet wet and take a hot foot bath nightly. Eat sparingly, denying yourself neither as to quality nor quantity of food. By all means keep to light underwear—red flannel is best. Keep the throat uncovered, swathing it in woolen bandages. NO

No is one of the smallest words in the English language, and yet— It has brought about more heartaches than the war. It has caused more children to shed tears than all the spanking in the world put together. It has saved more money for individuals with backbone than a year's output of padlocks. It has made itself prohibition's greatest aid. It has killed genius and thwarted genius. It has turned love into hate and success into failure. It has caused good men to tremble and scoundrels to rejoice. Will it ever make a change for the better? No.

H E F R A N K L I N is a '"Legal Reserve" Company with more than $160,000,000.00 of insurance in force. It was established in 1884, and operates under the celebrated "Registration and Deposit Act" of Illinois. Franklin Policies are the result of forty years experience combined with the highest of actuarial talent. They provide f o r every insurable contingency of the business or family man, and include those modern terms of agreement which make the life insurance contract flexible, and therefore useful in countless ways to the policyholder himself. They are a valuable convenience in the present, as well as a guarantee of financial benefits in the future. The Management of the Company, since 1884, has endeavored to render the highest ideals of life insurance practicable, and has so successfully employed laboratory methods of improvement that the approbation of the insurance-seeking public has more than trebled the size of the company in the past decade.

is Worth Doing at All

is Worth Doing Well"

S

O R U N S the old maxim, laboriously written in copy books by each succeeding generation. Forgotten or disregarded by many, it becomes the precept of the few—the guiding principle of their lives and efforts. It is the unwritten slogan of this company. Throughout a long career, we have held before us the ideal of perfection in craftsmanship. W e have devoted to each piece of work the thought, time and labor necessary to make it worthy of our mark. In a few years, some of the students of Hope College will find themselves called upon to arrange for the production of catalogs, booklets, and other forms of direct advertising. W e ask them to consider the organization which works by this rule:

" W H A T E V E R IS W O R T H D O I N G A T A L L IS W O R T H DOING W E L L "

A GOVERNMENT REPORT just out shows that the same year

The American Farmer was paid by the Sugar Factories $3.37 per hundred for all the extractible Sugar in his beets. T h e Cuban Farmer was paid by the Cuban Factory but $1.16 per hundred for his extractible Sugar. The American F a r m e r received $2.21 per hundred more for his Sugar in the beets than the Cuban Farmer for his Sugar in the cane. T h e tariff on Cuban Sugar is $1.76 per hundred pounds. F r o m this you will readily see that the American Farmer gets not only all the protective tariff but an additional 45c for every hundred pounds of Sugar he sells in his beets.

Through the Week On Monday she swore that she'd always lie m i n e ; On Tuesday her mood seemed to change. Come Wednesday, she yawned when I said she looked fine And I thought her demeanor seemed strange. On T h u r s d a y she said that I bored her to death, Which I took f o r a very bad sign; O n F r i d a y we quarreled—on Saturday too—And I hastened away tO' repine, But her mood changed again when the week started anew.

HINKAMP.

Jails T h e r e has been recent complaint that our jails are not what they ought to be. In view of the increased number of respectable people who are entering them, something should be done about it. W h a t our jails need is more competition. T h e spirit of friendly rivalry appears to be absent. One may just as well go to Holland as to Sing Sing. T h e advantages of going to jail ought to be played up more by authorities. Summer resorts are advertised—why not jails? It is probable that one will not lose half so much character in a jail as in a summer resort. There does not seem to be enough profit to make them worth while, and besides, they make one work while there. T h a t is dead against the present day impulse. It doesn't speak very well f o r our jails when they are the only government-controlled places where the guests are made to do regular work.
