MILESTONE

MILESTONES Stones a r e the symbols of Permanence. Eternity h a s b e e n typified in Stone; Time h a s b e e n defied by it. Basalt a n d Granite h a v e outlived men a n d epochs a n d ages. Life in its simpler forms h a s clung to rock-ribbed mountains a s if to secure to itself Perpetuity. Death, too, h a s claimed Marble for its Mausoleum that it might hold its place a n d position unchallenged. Temple Block a n d Hearth-stone Slab a n d Funeral Shaft tell the infant's primal cry, youth's passionate bliss a n d the s h a d o w e d anguish of age. Milestones a r e the memorials of indomitable Mind. Aspiration, Achievement, Advancement,—these a r e the records the Milestone plants d e e p - b e d d e d in the onward course of the Pioneer. To all other Stones Humanity turns its face, lifts its eye, voices a requiem for the known. To the Milestone—graven only on its hither-side, if a n y mark there be,—Mankind turns its back, looks for no promise, gives no hostage of d e p e n d e n t faith. Each Stone beside,—be it veined with the blue of the azure or the red of life's pulsing blood; b e it flecked with the flash of the diamond or light-starred like the blackness of night—stands sentinel of Life's twilight Peace. The MILESTONE, untraced by the fancies of Nature's vagrant d r e a m s a n d uncut by the s a v a g e flint or artist skill, d a r e s the eastern d a w n a n d challenges' the coming Day. MILESTONES are the Soul's a n s w e r to the Unknown, her response to Futurity, a n d for her, will ever a b i d e The Symbol of the Trek. —Edward D. Dimnent

JULIAN F. ARENDSHORST Died April 19, 1938 Class of 1941 "Oh, yet w e trust that somehow good Will b e the final goal of ill, To p a n g s of nature, sins of will, Defects of doubt, a n d taints of blood; "'That nothing walks with aimless feet; That not one life shall b e destroyed, Or cast a s rubbish to the void. W h e n God hath m a d e the pile complete."

HOPE COLLEGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES This revered b o d y of men is elected a n d a p p o i n t e d by the various churches a n d classes which sponsor the interests of Hope College. It is their duty a n d their trust to direct the policies a n d n e e d s of the institution during their term of office. Their meetings occur in April a n d in June. Their aims a r e set forth a d m i r a b l y in the following excerpt from the Foreword to the College Bulletin of February, 1930: "A special value a t t a c h e s to the small college of this type that insures its perm a n e n c e a m o n g the educational institutions of the land. . . . W e m e a n a college that d o e s not aspire to do the work of a university, that is not ambitious to n u m b e r its studentry b y thousands, but sets its own b o n d s a n d limitations, a n d places e m p h a s i s u p o n the quality rather than u p o n the quantity of the work it u n d e r t a k e s to do, a college that h a s a definite aim a n d p u r p o s e a n d a d h e r e s to it sacredly, no matter how alluring the present-day temptations m a y b e to b r o a d e n its scope a n d exploit the whole field of study a n d research. "There a r e such institutions, fortunately, a n d they will a l w a y s b e in d e m a n d . There a r e parents e v e r y w h e r e who will still select such schools for their sons a n d d a u g h t e r s in preference to the popular educational centers."

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council greatly increased its usefulness by affording a more inclusive student representation. Representation w a s b a s e d on literary societies rather than classes. This enlarged the group from nine to fifteen members. H e a d e d b y Senior Andrew Vollink, the Student Council investigated c a m p u s problems a n d supervised several college affairs. It started off with a successful All-College Mixer. Other college functions included the Frosh-Soph contests, the Freshmen trial. Homecoming, the Frosh-Soph girls contest for the Nykerk cup, p e p meetings, a n interesting Get-Acquainted a n d Dutch Treat week, a campaign to increase the college library, a n d a n All-College d a y climaxing in a n All-college b a n q u e t .

ALCOR Alcor, Senior Girls' Honorary Society, h a s completed its first y e a r of existence on the c a m p u s of Hope College. In the spring of the y e a r 1937, the society w a s conceived of a n d organized b y the Senior Girls' Association. At that time eleven girls, chosen for qualities of scholarship, leadership, a n d service, w e r e elected from the Junior class to b e c o m e the charter m e m b e r s of the n e w society. In the fall of that y e a r the society chose a n a m e , Alcor Honor Sorority, a n d elected four n e w m e m b e r s to fill out the quota. Alcor is primarily a n honorary group, but it d o e s not plan to b e a static organization. Its activities for this first y e a r w e r e limted b e c a u s e getting started involved much organizing a n d planning. Among its activities h a v e b e e n the successful souvenir selling project at our Homecoming in November, a n d a formal dinner in December held in honor of n e w members. The objective that will b e kept before the sorority is that of b e c o m i n g a part of Mortar Board, which is a national honor sorority. Until that is realized, Alcor .shall b e a u n i q u e organization with its own constitution a n d standards.

ADDISON "Fidelity, Culture, Leadership"—Fidelity that perseveres to the end, no matter how r u g g e d the road; Culture that makes associations pleasant a n d profitable; Leadership with vision a n d service in all fields of endeavor;—with this threefold motto, Hope's youngest literary society h a s completed another y e a r of mutual fellowship a n d truly literary enjoyment. Addison has not overlooked social development in its program, a s is evident from its fall a n d spring parties a n d its alumni b a n q u e t at Homecoming. In c a m p u s sports men of the purple a n d white were also represented; in fact, its m e m b e r s h a v e participated in almost every c a m p u s activity. Addison aims for the development of well-rounded individuals—whole mentally, physically, a n d spiritually. It aims to develop true a n d worthy representatives of Hope. Looking toward the achievement of our goal, w e constantly keep before us the words of Joseph Addison, whose n a m e w e proudly perpetuate: "If you wish to succeed in life, make perseverance your bosom friend, experience your wise counselor, caution your elder brother, a n d hope your g u a r d i a n genius."

COSMOPOLITAN Phi K a p p a Alpha—the watchwords of Cosmopolitan h a v e a g a i n led the w a y through another successful school year. Since its founding forty-eight years a g o Cosmopolitan h a s b e e n salient in all p h a s e s of college life. This year, a s in others, the incentive which inspired the charter members of Cosmopolitan h a s a g a i n driven Phi K a p p a Alpha to a dominant position in all c a m p u s activities. Considering social development a s second only to scholarship, Cosmos initiated the social season with open-house after the Junior College-Hope football g a m e . This w a s followed by the Cosmos stag dinner, fall party, a n d joint meetings with the Delphian a n d Fraternal societies. The a n n u a l spring party climaxed this p h a s e of Cosmos life. Looking back at another successful year. Cosmopolitan is proud to close the 1937-38 chapter of its prominent history. OFFICERS President Vice-President Secretary

EMERSONIAN As history claims another year, Phi Tau Nu celebrates its advent to Hope's c a m p u s two d e c a d e s ago. In that short time Emersonian h a s arisen to prominence a m o n g older brother societies. Located on one of Holland's finest estates, the fraternity enjoys the vitality a n d vigor of youth. Spirited in social life, Emersonians demonstrated their virility in more creative channels also. In forensics, music, religious activity, a n d scholastics Emersonians led the way. Following the fall rushing period, twenty-two outstanding accepted a n d initiated into the Order of Emerson. Then came guets, pleasant parties, joint meetings with sororities, a n d a open house, all contributing to m a k e the Emersonian House a giate social life.

The memory of the Senior play. Junior b a n d , a n d Sophomore p u p p e t show, w h e n the Freshmen girls w e r e entertained, will recall hours of toil a n d fun. Their minds will retrace the intensive rushing, the Fair at the Literary Club, a n d the excitement of pledging sixteen n e w Dorians, later known a s Dorian cowboys. They will r e m e m b e r the joint meeting with the Emersonians a n d also the spring b a n q u e t . A fleeting picture of the Dorian room with its n e w m a p l e set a n d comfortable folding chairs will m a k e them recall with joy a n d tenderness the p l e a s a n t friendships formed u n d e r the lavender a n d gold.

KNICKERBOCKER "Shout a shout, all ye Knicks, like a clarion call"—for the results of Knickerbocker endure, a n d live forever.

Another chapter of l a u d a b l e accomplishments is a d d e d to Knickerbocker history at the termination of this year. The opening triumph w a s the a c c e p t a n c e of a very select g r o u p of pledges, in a c c o r d a n c e with the qualifications of the Knickerbocker triangle, in order that posterity will continue to uphold the high ideals a n d traditions that a r e precious to every member. For social prestige there were the a n n u a l fall a n d spring b a n q u e t s a n d a n u m b e r of stags.

SIBYLLINE Sibylline comes to the close of a n o t h e r highly successful year, during which thirteen n e w m e m b e r s w e r e admitted into the fellowship of the sorority. True to the ideals which h a v e b e e n its b a s i c determinants since the founding of the chapter in 1919—the ideals of love a n d loyalty, of sincerity a n d truth—the sorority h a s steadily progressed. "Orchestral Imitations" w a s the theme of our mid-winter party, which featured u n i q u e decorations, scintillating costumes, a n d a n excellent, inimitable program. A delightful St. Patrick's Day party w a s the highlight of the month of March. The climax to the events of our social c a l e n d a r w a s the spring b a n q u e t .

WOMEN'S ACTIVITIES LEAGUE Under the c a p a b l e leadership of Kathryn Boon, president, the Women's Activities L e a g u e closed a successful year. Early in the school term year-books were distributed to all m e m b e r s with a mimeographed outline of the year's activities. According to custom, the l e a g u e provided for one party a month for all the girls. The opening event w a s a tea for the n e w girls under the chairmanship of Betty Nieusma.

Hazel Henderson h a d a pronounced aversion to spring, secretly she d r e a d e d its coming, a n d its subtle whispers a n d promises no longer a r o u s e d a happyresponse from her; but today, on her walk, she w a s forced to realize it h a d arrived. All week in the office the y o u n g stenographers h a d b e e n g a y in flowered prints a n d h a d e x c h a n g e d sibilant whispers of Johnny a n d Tom a n d Joe a n d the De Molay Spring Formal. Miss Henderson, w h e n she h e a r d their sprightly talk, moved restlessly, sat u p a little straighter in her chair, a n d a d j u s t e d her glasses to a more forbidding angle. (How could they know she h a d b e e n y o u n g a n d in love once?) And this afternoon on her walk Miss Henderson s a w little things which last week she would not h a v e observed, but now w e r e brazenly apparentâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;like the look the girl in the drugstore where she h a d stopped for aspirin sent the perspiring soda-clerk; a n d the w a y the big negro proudly helped the y o u n g colored nurse air her white charge. Spring, the minx, w a s here again, letting everybody know its quick languors a n d enthusiasms, causing the wind to clip along at a furious rate a n d then stopping it altogether to sing a sly a n d secret song in one's ear. No, Hazel Henderson certainly did not care for spring. It h a d b e e n a spring d a y when Roger sailed for France, a n d it h a d b e e n spring, too, when he c a m e back; W h e n Miss Henderson fainted on the dock seeing his poor vacant eyes, a n d knowing all Roger would ever remember a g a i n were shells a n d g a s a n d blood slithering thickly over the ground a n d broken bodies hurtling through the trenches. Miss Henderson climbed slowly to her room on the second floor, absently d e d u c i n g from the varied smells that she w a s going to h a v e ham a n d c a b b a g e for her dinner. She a r r a n g e d her hair a n d w a s h e d her h a n d s detachedly. The walls in the house were very thin a n d in the next room the talkative little typist from the Insurance Exchange w a s relating to her roommate some new incident from her exciting life. Miss Henderson h a d often noted with mingled a m u s e m e n t a n d disgust that ordinary things never h a p p e n e d to Miss Simpson: they w e r e "swell" or "just g r a n d " or "too simply thrilling;" but tonight she didn't hear. She w a s walking along the lake with Roger, b r a v e in clean n e w khaki. It w a s very w a r m for May a n d she h a d on a hat with ribbons a n d a ruffled white dress that swirled a b o u t her a s they walked. "Are you h a p p y . Hazel? Happy that you a r e mine forever?" "O, you know, Roger!" "1 am, too. So h a p p y I feel I should shout it! Isn't it strange, Hazel, that one heart can hold it all?" For a time they walked in silence, e a c h thinking that no one h a d ever loved like this before.

[108]

"Darling," said Roger suddenly, "do you s u p p o s e w h e n w e a r e d e a d the world will b e the s a m e ? Do you think the sun will b e a s bright a n d the woods a s g r e e n a n d life a s kind?" "No," replied Hazel with h a p p y certainty, "it will never really b e the s a m e . " The bell s o u n d e d then, a sharp, quick peal, a n d Miss Henderson went d o w n to the dining room. The b o a r d e r s w e r e finding their seats a n d she slipped in a n d sat d o w n a m o n g them. The l a n d l a d y served the h a m a n d c a b b a g e cheerfully. The b o a r d e r s a c c e p t e d a n d a t e them silently. It struck Mrs. Parker that e v e r y o n e at her table w a s rather quiet. Rather quiet a n d rather sad, excepting, of course. Miss Simpson a n d Miss Hines, w h o w e r e never sad, a n d never, b y a n y chance, quiet. "And I said," said Miss Simpson, " 'What d o you take me for, a n y w a y ? A doormat?' She didn't s a y m u c h back, let me tell you!" "The nerve of her," a g r e e d Miss Hines. Mr. C a r m i c h e a l cleared his throat. He w a s g r a y a n d fiftyish, with a depressed, frustrated face, a n d a n oddly breathless voice, a s though, try a s he would, he could not succeed in catching u p with life. Miss Henderson knew it w a s tacitly understood b y the others that he thought a great d e a l of her a n d that they thought it a pity she didn't feel the s a m e w a y a b o u t him, b e c a u s e , a s Miss Simpson h a d once said to Miss Hines, a little too loudly for the thin walls of the house, "I'll bet she's forty if she's a d a y . " "A lovely d a y . Miss Henderson," said Mr. C a r m i c h e a l in a low voice. "Yes," returned Miss Henderson politely. "The sun w a s so bright." "Darling, do you suppose . . . the sun will be a s bright?" "Yes," said Miss Henderson a g a i n . From the corner of her e y e she s a w the avid g l a n c e s of Miss Simpson a n d Miss Hines. Mr. Carmicheal mustered a gaiety he w a s far from feeling a n d persisted. " T h e world's at the spring' . . . a n d 'all's right with the world' eh?" "Darling . . . and life a s kind?" And here Roger w a s the s a m e a s d e a d in the Veteran's Hospital in Illinois, a n d she wished wretchedly she w e r e d e a d , a n d life clutched them both after its futile, v a g u e fashion. And everything w a s a s it h a d been: the sun w a s quite a s bright a n d the w o o d s would soon b e quite a s green. "O, yes," cried poor Miss Henderson, "it's b e e n a lovely d a y . " Mr. Carmicheal cleared his throat a g a i n a n d looked at her desperately. "1 u n d e r s t a n d there is a very good show on tonight. 1-1-1 w o n d e r e d if you would c a r e to go? Withâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;with me?" There, it w a s out. He d r e w a d e e p breath. Miss Simpson a n d Miss Hines took u p their forks simultaneously a n d poised them over their plates, h e a d s bent.

"Thank you," said Miss Henderson, after a pause. "Thank you, but I am going to b e busy tonight. I h a v e several letters to write, letters that must b e written. Another time, p e r h a p s , " she lied. Mr. Carmicheal knew well e n o u g h that another time she would find something else to do, but he smiled bravely, a w a r e of Miss Simpson's pitying interest. "Yes. Yes, indeed, another time," he a n s w e r e d slowly, quite defeated. In a d e p r e s s e d silence they watched the solitary maid clear the table a n d bring in the dessert. Surprisingly, it w a s a strawberry shortcake, a n d Miss Hines, who w a s fat, brightened u p visibly; after c a b b a g e which, although it h a d b e e n c r e a m e d a n d disguised with cheese, w a s still c a b b a g e , one really hadn't expected much for dessert, h a d one? Mrs. Parker a g a i n noticed the a b n o r m a l silence of her boarders. They were never like this: all so sadly engrossed with their own private thoughts. "Well," she said a n d smiled heavily down the length of her table. Her great surprise h a d fallen a little flat. "A strawberry shortcake in honor of spring." "Darling, darling, darling . . Miss Henderson suddenly put down her napkin a n d stood up. "Will you excuse me?" she said to the landlady. "I feel rather ill." She went out of the room hurriedly. Mr. Carmicheal looked after her in anguish a n d fell to talking very brightly with Miss Simpson. In her room Miss Henderson dully w a t c h e d the lights flash on a n d off in the dusk, but s a w only a lake with a w o m a n in a rufflled white dress a n d a m a n in khaki. Then she sighed a n d turned to her chair. She polished a n d a d j u s t e d her glasses a n d picked u p a book. Unseeingly, she turned over its printed pages. They w e r e blurred a n d dim. In the next room Miss Simpson twisted the dials of her radio in a n attempt to find her favorite crooner. First, however, she got another station. "Spring is here," Miss Henderson h e a r d the announcer say importantly, "and w e feel w e must greet it. And so for our opening n u m b e r w e present Mendelssohn's 'Spring Song.' " "Gosh!" said Miss Simpson. "There's something a b o u t that music that gives me the creeps. It makes me feel like doing something crazy. Likeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;likeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;O, I don't know." She twisted the dials a g a i n a n d the crooner w a s in the dingy, but forgotten room, serenading the infatuated Miss Simpson a n d Miss Hines. But a husky voice w a s singing in Miss Henderson's ear. It w a s soft a n d tender; it w a s all Miss Henderson h a d to remember. "Darling, do you suppose when we are dead the world will be the same? Do you think the sun will be as bright and the woods as green and life as kind?" Hazel Henderson d r o p p e d her h e a d on the arms of the chair a n d b e g a n to cry, very quietly a n d sadly.

"DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES" SYLVIA HUXTABLE

There is a delightful poem b y Haniel Long that h a s never b e e n given its d u e publicity. The title is Dead Men Tell No Tales, a n d it concludes: "But dead men tell no tales, they say! Except old tales that b u r n a w a y The stifling tapestries of day: Old tales of life, of love a n d h a t e Of time a n d space, a n d will, a n d fate." The d e a d men w h o s e fine g r a y dust sifts through Time at those two Eldoradoes of Western Michigan, Port Sheldon a n d Singapore, must move their ghostly j a w s in sepulchral grin w h e n some n e w smart-aleck solemnly reiterates that d e a d men tell no tales. As Haniel Long puts it, d e a d men do tell tales; tales of "—love a n d hate, of—will a n d fate." More than a century a g o a y o u n g Philadelphia b l a d e on a p l e a s u r e trip over Michigan's lakes, found a n ideally isolated spot on the "big lake" n e a r G r a n d Haven. An Eldorado d r e a m w a s born a n d materialized. In the fall of that y e a r the O t t a w a House w a s built b y New York a n d Philadelphia capitalists a n d shortly a f t e r w a r d the settlers c a m e — a b o u t forty strong—with provisions, a doctor, a n d flimsy h o u s e s r e a d y to set up. Engineers laid out the wild-cat settlement into lots; r o a d s w e r e built to G r a n d Haven a n d Grandville; a lighthouse w a s built; a c o m p a n y yacht w a s maintained; a n d a b o a t i n g club organized. Then c a m e the great p a n i c of 1837. The g a y founders of the village kept u p their lives of d e b a u c h e r y for a time, a n d then, after a final wild night of revelry, during which several men a n d w o m e n w e r e killed, the b u b b l e burst. The d e a d w e r e buried next day, a n d the irresponsible b a c k e r s went on to greener fields. O n e A b r a m Pike w a s left the solitary monarch of all h e surveyed. He sold the hotel a n d a few lots for w h a t little he could get, a n d the wild-cat town w a s deserted. But the r o m a n c e remains. They still say, w h e n the wind blows high, that ghosts a r e d a n c i n g the stately m e a s u r e s of their d a y in the long since g o n e O t t a w a House; they s a y that the y o u n g Philadelphia wastrel r o a m s a b o u t a n d w e e p s to see the ruin of his fine plans; they s a y that the ardent fools buried most of their money u n d e r the tag-alders for safety, a n d that there it remains to this day. While Port Sheldon's sun w a s rising, another town w a s b e i n g p l a n n e d some twenty miles south on the "big lake." Capitalistic schemers from the east h a d investigated the lumber in Western Michigan a n d found it promising. Singapore's founders knew the v a l u e of the giants that g r e w a l o n g the w o o d e d shores; they knew how easily the logs could b e driven d o w n the Kalamozoo

in the spring freshets to the lumbering mill at the mouth of the river. Michig a n s white pines a n d oaks were to fall u n d e r the ruthless s a w of the lumberjacks, The s a n g u i n e capitalists, however, overlooked one thing in their calculations: Nature's powerful tool, the wind. Behind the village of Singapore stretched a h u g e sand dune. To the hardworking jacks, it was, if they thought of it at all, like Vesuvius, the mountain forever stilled. But the wind is a strange element. It m a y s w e e p softly across the lake a n d the dunes, scarcely causing a ripple; it m a y lash the lake into a n inferno of wild waves. The d u n e that crouched behind the town b e g a n to move d o w n w a r d . Slowly, slowly, but surely, s a n d drifted through the streets a n d u p o n the steps of the frame buildings. It lay a s a fine film of dust u p o n the windows. It h u d d l e d a b o u t the b a s e s of the trees. The company b e c a m e a l a r m e d a s the aimless drifting continued; wisely they stopped operations a n d moved a w a y with all their p a r a p h e r n a l i a . And Singapore w a s deserted a n d left to the d e a d . For a time, it w a s inhabited b y squatters, who scurried like stray animals through the s a n d - l a d e n streets a n d houses. And still the d u n e continued to drift over the once teeming village; a n d Singapore, too, w a s a forgotten Eldorado of Western Michigan. *

Although it w a s October, a n d the s e a s o n at a n end, w e h a d decided that w e could not forego a final picnic. The highway, which w a s usually so busy, h a d little traffic. We drove through part of the fruit belt, but now the trees were stripped a n d b a r r e n against the sky; a n d the cherries a n d p e a c h e s that h a d not b e e n sold in the Chicago markets or taken to the canning factories, were standing in proud a n d even rows upon the b a s e m e n t shelves. The lake drive w a s dark a n d deserted. Dark, for although fall w a s here, most of the bordering trees h a d retained their leaves a n d the sun h a d not sent its warming rays through the thick a u t u m n a l m a s s â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a n d deserted, for the summer resorters w e r e gone, the cottages b o a r d e d up, a n d the furniture stood shrouded a n d disconsolate in the d a r k e n e d houses. After w e h a d e a t e n w e cached the thermos a n d the baskets a n d walked down the s a n d y beach. There, before us, lay Singapore, the tiny lost village. O n e h u n d r e d y e a r s a g o a n d less this h a d b e e n the site of a thriving lumbering settlement; a n d then the eternal shifting of the d u n e country h a d buried it, a n d w h e r e the proud sturdy buildings h a d stood, now only d u n e grass w a v e d lonely spears through the white sand. O n e h u n d r e d years ago, I thought, husky lumberjacks stood b e n e a t h this dune, where I stand now, sawing Michig a n ' s hardwoods, floating them down the Kalamazoo, placing them on the river barges, drinking the whisky at the bright saloons, a n d cursing a n d loving life a n d themselves. Now all this is gone; a n d this great dune, a Vesuvius in disguise, is solitary master.

Because they once were y o u n g And cooly d a r e d the spray of swinging s e a s And freely g a v e a light a n d r e a d y tongue To all that pleased themselves, or did not please, They shall not die. The laughing boys who talked Of life's sweet pain a n d spring's enduring breath And with true loves at dusk dim p a t h w a y s walked; These lads shall never die a final death. They know not yet the sullenness of blood. The d r e a r y trenches that before them lie; That from their hearts will rise no joyous floodâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; But since they once w e r e young, they shall not die. And they know not, nor make they a n y sound. W h e n their bodies plummet to the riven ground.

II They shall not die. A bright field now they know, A lovely field that no stark cross defines. The t h o u s a n d shy a n d muted winds that blow Are but the subtle chorus of their minds. But now a chill a n d darker wine they guaff, A h e a v y wine that w a s not mulled on earth. That b e a r s the ring of Hades mighty laugh And mellowed not with Thalia's h e a d y mirth. Because they once were young, they have not died: A s e a - c h a n g e they h a v e known; a rising wind Has b y some alchemy cold d e a t h defied And to the ages, their b r a v e wings h a s pinned. And no sere g a s a g a i n will blind their eyes To war, a n d all the truth that with it dies.

THE SENIOR PLAY The dramatic production of the class of 1938 w a s acclaimed b y a n appreciative a u d i e n c e a s the best play given in Holland in several years. The presentation established the continuation of the a n n u a l dramatic tradition a s a certainty. The production, which w a s entitled "The Late Christopher Bean", written by Sidney Howard, w a s s t a g e d in the Holland High School auditorium, April twenty-eight a n d twenty-nine. Much of the great success of the play w a s d u e to the skilled a n d a b l e direction of Miss Ethelyn Metz, a g r a d u a t e of the Northwestern School of Speech. The play w a s exceptionally well cast, distinguished by smooth action, clever portraiture, a n d proper emphasis on the dramatic moments occurring frequently in the plot. The action of the play is laid in the New England home of Dr. Haggett, a typical village doctor, with the plot centering a r o u n d the paintings of a poor artist "Chris Bean", who h a d spent some time on the Haggett place before his d e a t h ten years previously.

WOMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Women's Athletic Association w a s founded at the beginning of the y e a r 1938 for the purpose of furthering athletics for girls within the college. Under the joint sponsorship of the Athletic Debt Diggers, the Women's Activities League, a n d the physical education department, the Women's Athletic Association h a s a l r e a d y laid the foundation for a permanent m e a n s of developing the physical side of Hope women students. All the girls of the college automatically become m e m b e r s of the Association with the p a y m e n t of their activities fees, but there is a b o a r d of nine which control all its activities. The Association w a s b a c k e d financially by the A.D.D. a n d the college administration.

VARSITY FOOTBALL The 1937 football season w a s not a successful one. Hope e n d e d in a tie for fourth place. After starting the season rather auspiciously with three wins a n d a tie, w e lost our final four games, partly b e c a u s e of the inability of Marcus a n d Northouse to play b e c a u s e of injuries. Opening the season with twelve letter-men from last y e a r ' s s q u a d a n d strong Sophomore a n d reserve material, Hope conquered its first opponent of the season. Olivet, in a night game, 6-0. Northouse w a s injured a n d w a s laid u p two weeks. Hope counted in the first period on a forty y a r d jaunt by Brannock, a Sophomore, playing his first g a m e of college ball. Hope pushed Olivet all over the field for the remainder of the game, piling u p sixteen first downs to Olivet's two. Brannock's running ability stood out in Hope's first win of the season. Hope's second g a m e a n d also its second victim w a s G r a n d Rapids Junior College. Score 12-0. Hope scored in both the first a n d fourth quarters. Thomas scored in the first quarter by smashing over center. Marcus a n d Thomas "stood out" in the back field, with Schaubel, De Groot a n d Heneveld playing excellent g a m e s in the line.

It w a s Hope's first defeat a n d p l a c e d Kalamazoo at the top. Kalamazoo scored twice in the first few minutes of play a n d it took a lot of p e p out of our fellows right from the start. This g a m e cost us Bob Marcus who w a s laid u p the rest of the y e a r with a n extremely b a d shoulder. Van Domelen really stood out for Hope. The Kalamazoo jinx certainly hit us this g a m e .

VARSITY BASKETBALL Starting the season with six lettermen from last y e a r ' s championship s q u a d a n d with some strong Sophomore material, it looked a s if the Dutch might repeat in M.I.A.A. competition.

Due to a shoulder injury received in football, Marcus did not play the first game. The initial g a m e w a s marked by some good ball-handling. The end of regulation playing time found Hope leading 39-17. Michigan State, Hope's second opponent, w a s found to b e too tough a nut to crack. The Dutch failed to repeat last year's victory a n d lost 51-27. Vanden Berg, d u e to a broken nose received in the Ferris game, did not see much action. However, a s the season progressed, w e s a w that it w a s no disgrace to b e w h i p p e d by Michigan State, a s they defeated some of the strongest teams in the country. The final g a m e before the Christmas holidays found the Dutch losing to Michig a n Normal by the score of 35-26. This w a s d u e mostly to the fact that Hope w a s u n a b l e to stop Walsh, the Hurons' speedy forward. Following the vacation Hope journeyed to Kalamazoo to play Western State.

H CLUB The H Club is composed of those athletes w h o h a v e won a varsity a w a r d in athletic activity of some sort. This organization d o e s the most to stimulate interest a n d enthusiasm in athletics on Hope's c a m p u s . These men represent c a p a b l e performers on Hope's net teams, m a i n s t a y s on the football a n d basketball teams, a n d record b r e a k e r s on the track a n d on the fairway. The Senior m e m b e r s of this group, e a c h one a n all-around athlete, h a v e served Hope for four years. The other w e a r e r s of the coveted "H" will h a v e opportunities to serve Hope for at least a n o t h e r season. It would b e h a r d to find a finer g r o u p of athletes a n y w h e r e . Hope is proud of the men in the H Club a n d thankful for the prestige that the men of the O r a n g e a n d Blue h a v e c a p t u r e d for her.
