this
hundred volume.
Snatched from the scene of this earthly turmoil in the midst of his years, his spirit lingers on.
His constant desire to exalt the noble and
the beautiful in life, uplifted and inspired many a troubled heart, enduing it with new vigor and greater courage.
Truly can it be said of
him that " H e knew his task and did it well."
WILFRED CURTIS SNOW (1894 — 1935) O n old year's evening, December 31, 1935, at five o'clock there passed away at Simpson Memorial Institute at Ann Arbor, Professor W i l f r e d Curtis Snow, head of the organ department at H o p e College. T h o u g h little h o p e had been held f o r his recovery, his death came as a distinct shock to faculty and students, and to townspeople. Mr. Snow, w h o was forty-one years of age at the -time of his death, is survived by his wife, Esther MacFarlane Snow, formerly of Sioux City, Iowa, and four children, Murray 13, Robert 11, and Jean and Janet 9. Born in Norwich, Massachusetts, September 25, 1894, Mr. Snow was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Snow. At an early age he began to show his taste for music. W h e n only 15, he was given the position of assistant organist of Grace Episcopal Church in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Mr. Snow's continued study of the best that his Boston teachers, Dudley W a r n e r Finch and Albert W . Snow, could give him resulted in his coming to the m i d d l e W e s t where wider fields awaited him. For nine years he capably filled the position of organist and choirmaster in St. T h o m a s Church, Sioux City, Iowa. In 1922, he was appointed to be head of the music department at Morningside College, Sioux City, which position he retained till 1929. C o m i n g to H o p e organ department students with his ately set to work H e organized the m o r n i n g services.
in the latter year to assume work as chapel organist and head of the in the school of music, Mr. Snow immediately impressed faculty and masterful h a n d l i n g of the beautiful new Skinner organ. H e immedito make chapel programs varied and interesting with special music. chapel choir, now numbering approximately 75 voices, to sing at the U p to the time of his death, he was its director and g u i d i n g influence.
O n Mr. Snow's arrival there was only one chapel organ but the increasing number of organ students was the cause of his a d d i n g two more. Mr. Snow's organ recitals d u r i n g examination periods and at other times will always be remembered by the students as delightful periods of relaxation. T w o years ago, Mr. Snow took over the H o p e band, and procured new uniforms. T h u s was created H o p e ' s first marching band, with a constantly growing membership. Aside f r o m his college activities, Mr. Snow was also a civic leader in musical lines. U n d e r his able directorship, the Holland Civic Chorus developed greatly. Mr. Snow was the originator of the plan which this year caused the H o p e Chapel Choir and the Civic Chorus to combine to f o r m the Choral U n i o n of H o l l a n d . Last year at Christmas time, this chorus, n u m b e r i n g 180 voices, presented H a n d e l ' s "Messiah" in the Memorial Chapel. As organist and choir director of H o p e Church, Mr. Snow did much for that congregation in a musical way. Mr. Snow's constant purpose was to bring before the students and the public the leading musicians in the country. Several times he presented H a n d e l ' s "Messiah" and also Mendelssohn's "Elijah." Five years ago a H o p e College M e n ' s Glee C l u b m a d e a tour of the East under Mr. Snow's direction. T h e tour included a visit to W a s h i n g t o n and a personal interview with President Hoover. Mr. Snow gave freely of his talents both to the college and to outside organizations. His untimely death was an irreparable loss to H o p e and to the city of Holland.

JOHN B. NYKERK, A.B., A.M., Litt.D. Retiring Dean of Men Fifty years at H o p e College and D r . John B. Nykerk steps down f r o m his spiring pinnacle of service to join the ranks of the retired. His has been a long, active, creative, generous career here at Hope, giving of his all — his time, his ability, and even his wealth for its progressive well-being. W e students of this modern era little realize his great contributions in the development of our college. His activities and interests have been many and varied. H e it was w h o f o u n d e d and organized the H o p e department of music; became the first teacher in voice culture; and organized the original men's glee club. For thirty years he conducted a lyceum course, the proceeds of which went for various improvements about the campus, chiefly for the purchase of new books for the library. As coach of oratory Dr. Nykerk has brought to Hope, since 1898, thirteen gold medals and more than a score of silver medals. In appreciation of this glory "brought H o m e " the student body of 1917 presented him with a loving cup. In 1930 he received the Fi K a p p a Delta Key for national distinction in training orators and two years ago he was honored with a gold medal acknowledging his activities in the M . O . L. Dr. Nykerk's educational activities, other than those engaged in at Hope, include a year's teaching in both the public school and Northwestern Academy and one year and a summer's study at O x f o r d . His Litt.D. degree he received f r o m H o p e College. T h e Doctor's plans for the f u t u r e are not as yet definitely formulated, but he is certain he will remain active in some educational field. At the age of seventy-five he still loves teaching. "My alma mater: I wish her well," is Dr. Nykerk's parting toast. A n d faculty and students, both old and new, return that toast, wishing ever the best for him, for the best is none too good.
MRS. WINIFRED H. DURFEE, A.B., A.M. Retiring Dean of W o m e n Mrs. W i n i f r e d H . D u r f e e , D e a n of W o m e n , H o p e College — f e w professors can boast of such a career as hers. Twenty-seven years of constant vigil over the lives and destinies of all the young girls coming to H o p e ' s campus — certainly a responsibility, but she has d o n e her work well and is entitled to that hour of leisure granted to a chosen few. W e wish her "bon voyage" on her pleasure cruise and success in her literary ventures. Mrs. D u r f e e ' s adventures in the educational realm have been many and diversified. A f t e r g r a d u a t i n g f r o m the Academy in her h o m e town of Belleville, Jefferson County, N . Y., she attended O b e r l i n College until her Junior year. H e r first degree was obtained at the University of N e w Y o r k and her Master's Certificate f r o m the University of Wisconsin. Her summers she spent in f u r t h e r research work at H a r v a r d and N o r t h w e s t e r n . She taught successively in Belleville Academy, G l e n Falls Academy, Keuka College, N . Y., and H e d d i n g College, A b i n g d o n , Illinois, where she was the head of the English department. F r o m the latter school she came to Hope, where she immediately took up her duties as D e a n of W o m e n . As instructor here her first class was one in Sophomore English, which she shared with D r . N y k e r k . Later she also taught French and became head of this d e p a r t m e n t in 1919. She has retained this position since. H e r teaching scope has included Freshmen and Sophomore English, Shakespeare, W o r d s worth, D r a m a and all four years of French. Mrs. D u r f e e has become as much a part of H o p e College as Voorhees Hall itself. She has g r o w n with it, seen it expand and develop into the fine educational institution it is today and she may well be satisfied with the realization that she has had a great part in its building. T h r o u g h all these years Mrs. D u r f e e has held a w a r m place in the hearts of "her girls." H e r gracious smile and friendly greeting will certainly be missed on H o p e ' s campus.

ADDISON T h e r e is more to college life t h a n studies; we must also establish social contacts which will h e l p us to be at h o m e in the world w h e n we leave these halls of H o p e .
It
is in our Societies that we not only make f r i e n d s h i p s of lasting value, but also learn to seek out and m a k e our own the higher things in life. W e obtain a fuller knowledge of the great men, poets, philosophers, artists, and musicians by p r e p a r i n g our papers and hearing the papers that our fellows have prepared.
W e are b o u n d into a closer fellow-
ship through our c o m m o n goal. W e , the students of H o p e , are t h a n k f u l f o r our Literary Societies; and we, w h o are Addisons, are proud of our Society which has held high the banner of Fidelity, Culture, and Leadership." W e were organized in 1924, and since then have enjoyed our place on H o p e ' s campus.
W i t h the rest of the student body we look forward to many
long years of life f o r our A l m a Mater and her Literary Societies.

ALETHEA O n e more year of friendly fellowship in Alethea has proved again the full meaning expressed in the colors of Rose and Blue, the symbols of Love and T r u t h . T h e ruby torch has once more helped to light the way to a higher understanding and deeper appreciation of the best in social, mental, and spiritual life. Tradition claimed its usual place a m o n g the year's activities. At the annual Homecoming banquet fourteen new pledges and many alumnae f o u n d a sincere welcome in every hue of the Alethean rainbow. T h e n there was the sleigh ride on a crisp winter eve; the Christmas breakfast at T h e Tulip '; and the bus ride through mountains of snow to see H o p e defeat Calvin at the G r a n d Rapids game. Spring brought an Easter tea; a trip to an Alethean s home at G r a n d H a v e n ; and the Mothers' Day meeting. This program, next to the gala spring banquet, is perhaps the best remembered of the happenings of a delightful and eventful year.

T h e Cosmopolitan fraternity has again written upon the ledger a record which will leave an indelible impression upon fifty-five young men on H o p e ' s campus. In the true spirit of brotherhood it has strengthened the fellowship of its own g r o u p and has likewise helped many to find their places a m o n g the activities of the campus. Cosmopolitan has been f a i t h f u l to its watchwords of Friendship, T r u t h , and Progress. Its f r i e n d s h i p has been extended on special occasions to both the D e l p h i and the Fraternals with w h o m joint meetings have been held within the Cosmopolitan Halls. Socially it has sent its invitations to the campus co-eds for a "Showboat Party" and a Spring Banquet. Cosmopolitan this year again captured the inter-fraternity basketball championship. Above all, the Fraternity has progressed. It has acquired a new, more spacious, and more beautiful fraternity home. Furthermore, it has perfected plans for the establishment of a p e r m a n e n t A l u m n i Association.

Delphians tea-ed, dined, and breakfasted with freshmen in anticipation of the great day of " p l e d g i n g " . January 1 5 saw the Delphi Society and guests sailing on a W o r l d Cruise which began and ended at the W a r m Friend Tavern, with nary a miss of a single interesting port. It was declared a "red letter n i g h t " when the Cosmopolitans and Delphians held their joint meeting at the Cosmos home. T h e past her members T h e r e is the Chapel Choir

Into memory's storehouse has g o n e another year of D o r i a n fellowship, fellowship which has been broadening, lifting, and inspiring, as well as enjoyable. W i t h the lavender and gold ever b e f o r e us, we have studied, worked, and planned together. W h o can ever forget those busy days of rushing, the d e l i g h t f u l pledge party, and the floats ? M a n y a sigh went into that piece of work which gave D o r i a n honorable mention in the H o m e c o m i n g parade, only to be forgotten w h e n alumnae, members, and pledges met at the annual A l u m n a e Banquet. Cold, snappy days, but Dorians trudged their way to a Christmas tea.
In January
Dorian and her guests sailed on a pleasant cruise to warmer climes, only to too soon return to bleak reality. C a m e Spring and Dorian redecorated, promising itself also new furnishings. T h e Spring party proved to be a g r a n d success. W i t h another year past, our experiences have enlarged our outlook on life and strengthened our bond of fellowship into one more lasting.

EMERSONIAN Fraternity life to a new student is like the beacon light to a ship wandering hopelessly around in a heavy sea. A Fraternity is the one place where the new men can go w h e n they arrive on the campus, and receive the warmth and friendship that is so often lacking in a new atmosphere. T h e Emersonian society's ideals stand for the furtherance of this aim. T h e members strive to make the new comers feel at home in their house, and try to help them in any way possible to make their stay a pleasant one. T h e very meaning of the Greek Letters which the Emersonian society has adopted to signify its spirit is put into practice at every opportunity. T r y i n g to make the members and pledges of the Society realize this meaning is the ultimate aim of those w h o wish to f u r t h e r the Society in accordance with the rules of manhood and cosmopolitan living.

Fraternal believes, as did her f o u n d e r s more than a century ago, that the primary aim of a college society is the development of a m a n k i n d which will make its members nobler citizens of the college, the nation, and the world. Fraternal's principles, love, friendship, and truth, are not provincial, not continental, not planetary. They are universal. T h e y imply a b r o a d e n i n g of the horizon of truth, a m o u l d i n g of a universal f r i e n d s h i p and love. Fraternal strives to fan the spark that is within every soul until there is the flame that assures a self-mastery, and a constant willingness to serve. But Fraternal does not underestimate the advantages of the intimate contacts between men of different e n v i r o n m e n t and background with a diversity of interests, personalities, habits, and ideas. T o d r o p in at "the house", to feel the ready handshake of trusted friends, to engage in a candid, honest, unrestrained discussion which, whether serious or bantering, consequential or trivial, penetrates the thin rind of the superficial, to confide, to be intrusted the confidence of others — that is the stuff of which a liberal college life is made.

KNICKERBOCKER Unity of endeavor and common interest in the Social, Moral, and Intellectual triangle beneath the Ruby and Black, makes it possible to have a society that is beneficial both individually and collectively. Knickerbocker takes great pride in having some of its men a m o n g the leaders in the various activities of the campus, but to Knickerbocker the true friendships f o r m e d , which last and remain with one through life, are of much greater significance. D u r i n g the past year Knickerbocker has enjoyed several parties, informed openhouse nights, and several informal stags, all of which u p l i f t and create feelings of fellowship and good-will that have always been prevalent within the entire society. It can truly be said, " N e v e r was a happier, jollier set of m e n . "

SIBYLLINE Tucked away in Sibylline's Treasure Chest are many sweet memories of lasting f r i e n d s h i p s and h a p p y times. W e discover there also, ideals of love and loyalty, sincerity and truth, and the aims as set forth in the creed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to keep the body strong, the mind pure, the spirit right. T h e seventeenth pearl has been added â&#x20AC;&#x201D; another year of scholastic and literary activity interspersed with f u n and fellowship. A m o n g the outstanding social activities, we remember especially the evening of October 4, w h e n ten new girls came to share and to add to our treasures, the A l u m n a e Banquet, the Fall Party when we went "traveli n g " , the traditional St. Patrick's Day stag, the Mothers' Day tea, the Fathers' Day beach party, and the Spring Frolic. Sibyllines are agreed that not only have the treasures of the past been preserved, but the year 1935-1936 has enriched her treasure chest.

BLUE KEY H o p e is the only small College in the State of Michigan to boast a chapter of Blue Key. T h e organization is composed of Senior men who are outstanding in scholarship or some phase of campus activity. Meetings are held once a month, at which time an opportunity is given for discussion of campus problems. Blue Key d u r i n g the past year was the donor of a large memorial picture of Professor Curtis Snow which was presented at a chapel service. T h e Book-Store was again set up to enable students to secure used textbooks more easily. T h e organization for the second consecutive year published the Student Guide. This year's banquet was held at the Pantlind Hotel, G r a n d Rapids. T h e most recent project undertaken by the Fraternity is the curbing of rushing by the men's societies. T h i s plan will go into effect next year. Plans are also being made to present a set of books to the library. Blue Key's outstanding feature is, perhaps, the fact that at the monthly dinners, students and faculty meet on common ground, and thus a better understanding is created between the two groups.

Y.M.C.A. CABINET Pounded in 1879, the H o p e College Chapter of the Y o u n g Men's Christian Association continues to hold a unique place in the life of H o p e College men. T h e meetings, held on Tuesday nights, are open to all male students on the campus, and often prove a source of inspiration to those w h o attend. U n d e r the capable leadership of John Piet and eleven assistants, the " Y " experienced another successful year. Activities sponsored by the Cabinet this year in conjunction with the women's Cabinet include the bringing to H o p e of Dr. Massee as Prayer W e e k speaker, as also several other speakers; the annual Freshman reception to make new students feel at h o m e ; and the All-College Party, which was in the f o r m of a winter sports festival. Gospel teams were again sent out to neighboring churches. Special music at the Tuesday m o r n i n g chapel services was instituted this year and met with the immediate approval of the students. This year again the entire proceeds f r o m the candy sales conducted on the campus went toward mission work. T h e cabinet, with an enthusiastic set of leaders, is looking forward to next year. Professor H i n k a m p , college pastor, is adviser to the group. OFFICERS

Y.W.C.A. CABINET U n d e r the leadership of President Vera Damstra, the Y . W . C . A . closes another successful year. W o r t h w h i l e programs have been presented t h r o u g h o u t the year. T h e organization still remains true to the original purpose of its f o u n d e r s to "come apart and rest awhile," to meet in quiet fellowship for an hour every Tuesday night. Much benefit is reported by the girls f r o m these meetings. D u r i n g the year the girls' cabinet has worked with the men's g r o u p to b r i n g to H o p e w o r t h w h i l e speakers, and has helped in p u t t i n g on several college social functions, including the reception of new students d u r i n g Orientation W e e k , the All-College GetTogether, and the W i n t e r Sports Frolic. G i f t boxes were again packed by the girls and sent to Kentucky. A start toward girls' athletics was m a d e at H o p e when the Y . W . C . A . decided to sponsor a Girls' Basketball League, open to all the college girls. T h i s will very likely eventually lead to a full athletic p r o g r a m for H o p e girls. W i t h all these accomplishments the Y . W . C . A . feels that the year has been worth while.

ANCHOR Pact, foresight, and real drive on the part of this year's Anchor editor, Calvin Vander W e r f , have turned the college paper into what the critics claim to be the most journalistic sheet ever issued by a H o p e College staff. Initiation of the six-page journal, of the style sheet" for would-be-efficient reporters (compiled by the editor h i m s e l f ) , of a new system f o r election of editors, which consists of electing an assistant editor w h o will automatically fill the editor's position the following year, and of the presentation of Anchor Keys to a few outstanding staff members each year, as well as the complete revision of the advertising and business setup, are the outstanding accomplishments of the 1935-36 staff. Aside f r o m these m a j o r improvements have come a conscious effort for m o r e original style in every inch of copy, the r u n n i n g of a greater number of timely, interesting pictures and cartoons of college interest, the broadening of campus scope by use of a very open "Letters to the Editor" c o l u m n ; elimination of the less conservative " b a n n e r " ; and encouragement to fresher and more lively editorials. Affiliation of the Anchor with a national journalistic fraternity is under consideration. T h e faculty committee on publications, consisting of Miss Ross, chairman, and Professors D e Graaf, McLean, and Shackson, maintained a lively interest in the activities of the staff, and the congenial relations existing between the groups was noteworthy.

PI KAPPA DELTA Pi K a p p a Delta is one of the three national honorary fraternities of the country. Although organized last, it is now first in membership. T h e purpose of this organization is to stimulate progress in, and to promote the interests of, intercollegiate oratory, debate, and public speaking. A key of distinction, proficiency, and honor, varied and graduated according to merit and achievement, is conferred upon deserving candidates. Michigan G a m m a chapter of Pi K a p p a Delta, located at Hope, again experienced a busy year. Its 1935-36 program of speech activities was ushered in by a fall outing. At this annual retreat plans were formulated for the forensic year. T h e completion of these plans saw Michigan G a m m a sponsoring extemporaneous speech, debate, oratory and a high school debate tournament. T h e activities of the forensic year were officially terminated by the annual spring banquet which was held d u r i n g the T u l i p Festival. O n this occasion the neophytes, in the presence of alumni members and guests of Michigan G a m m a , were initiated into the order of Pi K a p p a Delta. Dr. Nykerk, w h o has been speech instructor and coach of oratory at H o p e for many years, was guest of honor. OFFICERS

MEN'S AND WOMEN'S DEBATE D e b a t i n g became a truly m a j o r campus activity on the H o p e campus d u r i n g the 1935-36 season. M e n ' s debating, u n d e r direction of Dr. Shackson, carried out the principle that the values of debate participation should be given to as many as possible; ten complete teams were, accordingly, kept in action t h r o u g h o u t a season which included no less than seventy-seven intercollegiate debates, besides inter-team debates b e f o r e luncheon clubs and church groups. All ten teams entered the debate t o u r n a m e n t at Albion in February; f o u r teams were s c h e d u l e d ; and eight teams represented H o p e in the first "octuple" debate ever scheduled w h e n on January 25, H o p e met simultaneously the eight first teams f r o m four invited colleges in three rounds of debate, the final round being heard and j u d g e d by the various societies on the campus. T h e brilliant season was concluded by a radio debate over station W J J D with J o h n Marshall School of Law of Chicago. Increased enthusiasm has been shown in W o m e n ' s debating d u r i n g the past season. Four teams, coached by Professor Clarence D e G r a a f , were actively engaged in intercollegiate debating. T h r o u g h o u t the season twenty-five non-decision and several decision debates were held with other colleges. T h e season was b r o u g h t to a successful close at the state debate t o u r n a m e n t which was held at W e s t e r n State Teachers' College, February 22. T h e first affirmative and first negative teams each won one of the two t o u r n a m e n t debates entered, thus tying f o r first place with four other colleges. T h e question debated was the same as that debated by the m e n : resolved, that Congress shall be empowered to override by a two-thirds vote, decisions of the Supreme Court declaring acts of Congress unconstitutional.

ORATORY H o p e College orators d u r i n g the year participated in three state oratorical contests. Each orator was selected through local elimination contests in which a number of other college students took part. Angelyn V a n Lente represented H o p e in the w o m e n ' s division and J o h n M . V a n d e r Meulen in the men's division of the Michigan Intercollegiate Speech League competition. Allen B. Cook represented the college in the Michigan State Peace Conference Contest of the Intercollegiate Peace Association. In the state finals in which six colleges were represented, Miss V a n Lente showed marked ability in delivering her oration " T o the Victors." In her speech she attacked the spoils system and revealed many appalling facts. She asked for the abolition of party favoritism and the introduction of civil service reform in order that the state might be kept "from sinking into the u n f a t h o m a b l e pit of degeneracy." "Pillars of Self-Desire" was the title of Mr. V a n d e r Meulen's oration in which he presented a vivid and graphic argument against selfishness. H e concluded his speech with the effective lines: " N o house can stand, no k i n g d o m can endure, based on the crumbling rocks of self-desire." Mr. V a n d e r Meulen qualified in the eliminations and participated in the final contest. Eleven institutions participated in the peace contest, which was the largest contest ever held in the history of the State of Michigan. Mr. Cook's unique oration, "Meet Your Enemy," pointed out that "Altruism must replace selfishness and tolerance be substituted for d o g m a t i s m " if an endurable peace is to be accomplished. Mr. Cook survived the preliminary contests and participated in the finals. H e was complimented by competent critics. T h e success of these orators is due largely to the excellent coaching of " T h e G r a n d O l d Man of Oratory," D r . J. B. Nykerk, and to the sincere efforts of Miss Metta Ross, w h o have been largely responsible for H o p e ' s excellent records along the lines of oratory. Both have given unstintingly of their time and talents that H o p e ' s orators might be the best in their respective classes, or on a par with the best.

EXTEMPORE FORENSICS Extempore Forensics, although still in the experimental stages at H o p e College, received d u r i n g the past year renewed vigor and unprecedented support. At the elimination contest, speakers chosen to represent H o p e in the Extempore Division of the M.I.S.L. Contest, held at East Lansing in N o v e m b e r , were Ruth Fisher and Harry Boer. A l t h o u g h neither representative received honorable recognition, participation contest has served to heighten interest in Extempore Forensics.
in the
BAND T h o u g h it received a severe blow because of Director Snow's passing, the organization nevertheless was able to render the music f o r several athletic contests and college functions. G e o r g e D o u m a , as student director, had charge of the band the latter part of the season.

H o p e ' s 1935 football seaeson was only an average one. T h o u g h it had plenty of beef and a brawny line nevertheless this year's squad definitely lacked an effective runn i n g attack. It was a team, however, that impressed one as having some good games u n d e r its belt, as evidenced on several occasions. T h e first scheduled g a m e resulted in a one point victory over Ferris. T h e following week the p o w e r f u l A l m a team, 1935 M . I . A . A . champions, turned on the heat in the first five minutes of the g a m e to score all of its points. T h e D u t c h m e n came out on the short end of the score in games with both K a l a m a z o o and W a y n e university. At G r a n d Rapids, however, the passing attack clicked and the H i n g a m e n won a decisive t r i u m p h over Junior College. In the H o m e c o m i n g contest it was the mighty Hillsdale g r i d d e r s w h o fell by the wayside. Albion was pushed all over the field and outplayed in all departments of the game, but could not be scored on. T h e season was brought to a close by a tie g a m e played with the highly rated Michigan N o r m a l team. Fred Jappinga was honored by being selected as a member of the all-M.I.A.A. team at the close of the season. G e o r g e Heeringa was selected as honorary captain of the team. Besides Heeringa there were eight other Seniors w h o played their last g a m e for their Alma M a t e r : Tysse, V a n d e r Velde, Kooiman, Buteyn, Leestma, M a h a n , D e W e e r d and Gross.

BASKETBALL A l t h o u g h not considered as a contender for the M.I.A.A. crown at the beginning of the season, H o p e ' s court squad quickly won the recognition of sports writers by winn i n g four out of five pre-season games. T h e team justified expectations by trimming the 1935 champions, Hillsdale, on their h o m e floor in the first game of the regular season. T h e D u t c h m e n featured a fast-breaking type of g a m e which made every contest a fight to the end. It was only slight moments of inconsistence—one or two off-nights w h e n the boys failed to find the h o o p — t h a t cost H o p e the championship. Nevertheless the team ranked third at the close of the season, only one g a m e behind Olivet and Albion w h o tied for first. T h e season's record shows thirteen games won and five lost. T w o bright spots in the record were the victories over H o p e ' s traditional rival, Calvin. T h e H i n g a m e n eeked out a 21-20 win at G r a n d Rapids and then walloped the K n i g h t s 39-28 on the h o m e floor. Several outstanding players composed the H o p e squad. Thomas, a sophomore, played forward and was the high scorer of the team, garnering 178 points. Heeringa suffered a bad knee at the opening of the season but came back with such drive that he was placed on the All-M.I.A.A. team. Poppink was acting captain and his generalship was largely responsible for the team's showing. V a n d e r Velde was Poppink's understudy, while Robberts and Van Z a n d e n bolstered the guard positions. Barber and N i e n huis substituted at the forwards. W i t h an exceptional f r e s h m a n squad H o p e looks to another good team next year. SUMMARY

TRACK AND BASEBALL Track is rapidly becoming an important sport on H o p e ' s campus. N o t contented with the second place that was won in the field meet last year, this year's squad was out to bring h o m e the championship. T h e relative strength of the speedsters this year was evidenced in the recent indoor meet at Hillsdale. W i t h only a few weeks of preparation the team placed second, only a few points behind the favorite Kalamazoo. D o u m a , M . I . A . A . 440-yard champ, captained this year's team. Besides him there were several good men around w h o m to build a c h a m p i o n sh i p team. D e Pree ran the half mile, T e l l m a n the 4 4 0 dash, while Robberts, Martin and Quist took care of the 100 and 220 sprints. Buys promised to put the shot a few feet farther than last year and N o r t h o u s e was right behind him in that event. Little McGilvra expected to go way up into t h e air in the pole vault, and Tysse heaved the discus. Others were expected to develop b e f o r e the end of the season w h o would add strength to the f o r m i d a b l e g r o u p already mentioned. A f t e r several years of non-existence, a baseball team was again organized this year under the guidance of Coach Schouten. Five games were played, four with W e s t e r n State Teachers frosh, and one with Michigan State. T h o u g h finding it difficult to break into the win column, nevertheless the team gave a good account of itself. Bob V a n d e n berg, a righthander, and Joe Borgman, a portsider, shared pitching duties. Both have had experience in pitching f o r local teams, and both were considered equal to any college pitchers in Michigan. Ragged support by the inexperienced Dutch nine was the cause of most of the losses. T h e 1936 team was composed almost wholly of freshmen, all of w h o m are expected back next year. W i t h these as a nucleus. Coach Schouten expects to place a strong nine in the field in the 1937 season.

PAGEANT OF 1936 Pageants were introduced at H o p e College by D r . John B. Nykerk, who, while a student at O x f o r d , witnessed the presentation of t h e revived Elizabethan pageants. Full of enthusiasm, he returned to H o p e determined to give it the benefit of his experiences. T h e Pageant of 1916, c o m m e m o r a t i n g H o p e ' s sesqui-centennial was the result.
Since
that time a pageant has been presented every ten years. A successful pageant was again produced in 1926.
Proceeds f r o m these pageants have g o n e toward worthwhile campus
causes. T h e b e a u t i f u l rose w i n d o w in the Memorial Chapel was b o u g h t with pageant money. O t h e r improvements have been m a d e f r o m time to time on the campus with the money obtained f r o m pageant presentations. H o p e ' s third decennial pagent, presented this year at Riverview Park May 16, 18 and 19, commemorated Michigan's centennial as a State, the nintieth anniversary of the city of H o l l a n d , and the seventieth anniversary of H o p e College. T h e Pageant cast included some 4 0 0 characters, all in costume. T h e various scenes portrayed the history of the Dutch, including their persecution by the D u k e of Alva in the N e t h e r l a n d s , their c o m i n g to America several h u n d r e d years later, their struggles in the new land, the f o u n d i n g of H o p e College, the Dutch in the Civil W a r , t h r o u g h the present day T u l i p T i m e festivities. G e o r g e D o u m a , president of the Senior Class which sponsored the pageant, was Pageant M a s t e r ; Florence Vis wrote the words of the Pageant, and Stanley Albers of G r a n d Rapids, of the Class of 1926, was director. These people were assisted by committees composed of seniors and lower-classmen.
Music was furnished by the
O r g a t r o n , a type of electrical organ, and a large augmented choir.

and reverent
Portray for you the history
pride
shall
we
of this place
Far, far d o w n the avenues of history we direct our gaze, seeing some scenes that are blurred by their unimportance — others still sharply distinct as though painted yesterday. T o comprehend the spirit of the Dutch one must first catch a glimpse of them in their own country d u r i n g the terrible days of the Spanish Inquisition — days of terror and tyranny. W e hear the death-bell tolling, tolling, tolling hourly in every village . . . T h e register of each city, village, and hamlet showed lists of men w h o were daily sent to the scaffold, without a trial . . . T h o u g h oppression weighed heavily u p o n them, the spirit of the Dutch would not be bowed down by the yoke. Trials served to strengthen . . . T h e love of liberty burst forth in quivering sparks against the strong hand of tyranny . . . T h e sparks became a steady glow — the Dutch, the staunch champions of liberty! Many, many years later the liberty which they had f o u g h t so hard to secure was again i n f r i n g e d u p o n ; they were not allowed to worship G o d in their own way. Albertus V a n Raalte, a man small in stature, but ever a man of action, was their leader. T h e people looked to him for guidance — his was the responsibility and the care. But what could be d o ? T h e soldiers> were always lurking about. They surrounded the meetingplaces, dispersed the services, fined the worshippers and arrested their leaders. T h e Dutch knew that there was ho way open for them except voluntary exile to a land which was far away across the sea. T h e way was long, the sea uncharted, but ever did the Spirit of the Dutch lead them on — leading them on to brave u n k n o w n paths, leading them on to establish homes in the wilderness. A n d so it came to pass that D r . V a n Raalte and his little band sailed for America in 1846 to settle on the virgin soil of a new world. They set their eyes w e s t w a r d ; God led them to the shores of the Great Lake, Mashiganing, to a place where the Indian still danced to the ryhthmic beat of the tom-tom.

H e r e to worship in the quiet Of the forest unmolested ; H e r e to f o u n d a school of learning, H e r e to train the children g r o w i n g . T h i s their purpose was in coming T o the land ruled by the red man. Smoked the pipe with their red brothers. A n d h o m e s m a d e they amid the forests. T h e first days in the new land were strenuous ones, for the settlers must clear the land, fell the trees and erect homes. They were determined to make a success of their venture, and so they tackled each task with astounding vigor. N o r in all their difficulties did they f o r g e t that Sunday was the day of rest. In the majestic solemnity of the woods, with the dew still heavy on the green grass, the settlers gathered together for religious services, sitting on stumps, seats of rude lumber, or the p u n g e n t earth itself. In the dark days of despair and grief the cross was ever illuminated before them. " H o p e thou in G o d , " was their beacon which advancing b e f o r e t h e m showed clearly the way they must go. " H o p e thou in G o d " was the cornerstone of the colony. Beneath the cross of Jesus they had taken their stand. As Jesus carried His cross, so must they carry theirs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even to the point of leaving their homeland for the wilderness that they m i g h t freely worship H i m . T h e first winter was an extremely severe one f o r the colonists. T h e r e was not e n o u g h f o o d â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the heavy rains had ruined their crops. Disease â&#x20AC;&#x201D; fever, malaria, and dysentery attacked the people. D r . Van Raalte went f r o m cabin to cabin with his medicine bag, a t t e m p t i n g to aid the sick and cheer the disheartened.

T h e Dutch pioneers persevered; they endured the hardships. Ever m i n d f u l of the need of education for their children, they strove to f o u n d a school as soon as possible. Just four years after the first settlers reached H o l l a n d the Academy was f o u n d e d . This school was incorporated as a college in 1866. Dr. Van Raalte appended these words to the first report of the Academy sent to the Synod: "This is my Anchor of H o p e for this people in the future." T h u s the new college was called H o p e College and the anchor became its symbol. T e n years after the f o u n d i n g of the Academy, the country was plunged into the midst of the great Civil W a r . T h e Hollanders answered the call to arms. For centuries the passionate love of liberty had burned in the hearts of the Dutch people. As their forefathers had revolted against the D u k e of Alva, so now the Michigan Dutch f o u g h t to reclaim liberty for the d o w n - t r o d d e n negro. W i t h splendid loyalty, the Dutch answered their country's call; they laid down their lives so that the ideal of freed o m might become a reality. Perhaps the greatest catastrophe which overcame Holland was the great fire of 1871. A tiny flame was fanned into a blazing terror that swept t h r o u g h the streets. T h e city was reduced to ashes. But more than buildings were lost on that eventful day; treasured keepsakes and indispensable h o m e necessities were burned to nothingness. But the people did not long remain discouraged. A new and greater H o l l a n d was built on t h e ruins of the old. D r . Van Raalte was always near, encouraging the people and under his inspired leadership the city was soon rebuilt. Today the visitor is refreshed to come upon the quaint little town of H o l l a n d , with its green lawns and newly painted homes. His eye is drawn to a tower thrusting its spire upward into the blue — the tower of the H o p e Memorial Chapel. T h e calm poise of its modified Gothic architecture, the beauty of its stained glass windows, the majestic power of the mighty organ and clear, deep notes of its chimes — combine to make the chapel an e n d u r i n g symbol of the faith expressed in the motto, "Spera in D e o " — " H o p e T h o u in G o d . " H e r e gather the students every m o r n i n g for a few moments of meditation before they begin the tasks of the day, thus remaining true to the beloved traditions of their forefathers. T h e city of Holland has become a mecca for tourists through its famous T u l i p Time. For a week in the m i d d l e of May the people resort again to the customs and costumes of the N e t h e r l a n d Dutch. T h e inhabitants t h r o n g the streets clad in old-country dress; Dutch dancers p e r f o r m in the market place; and above all the tulips give the streets an atmosphere of festivity. All these have combined to make T u l i p T i m e in Holland the third festival in importance in the nation. T h e great annals of the world's history pour forth a galaxy in swift review as we see the great Dutch philosophers, navigators, scientists, painters, inventors, musicians, and authors pass before our eyes. But the glory of the Dutch is not in the past alone; the past has fashioned the present; the present lays the foundation f o r the future. W h a t does the f u t u r e hold in store? W h a t will the annals of history send f o r t h in years to come? W e look to the f u t u r e — t h e Spirit of the Dutch lives o n !
