Hope Memorial Chapel Rising majestically in the southwest corner of the campus, Hope Memorial Chapel chimes forth the time each quarter hour. Its beautiful architecture, stained glass windows, and melodious organs all contribute to its atmosphere of reverence. The chapel, dedicated in 1929, has a seating capacity of 2,000. The basement contains three classrooms and four rooms for religious work.

The Editor, BLASE LEVAI Business Manager, JAMES MacGREGOR

In order to present a yearbook that will in the future recall the events which are now so important in student life, the Milestone has attempted to record faithfully the events of Hope's anniversary year.

It is our aim that the 1940-1941 yearbook will be a living reminder of the school's o u t s t a n d i n g achievements.

The many hours spent in this endeavor to portray student life in its various aspects has been an interesting avocation and has afforded us rich experiences.

Dedication In recognition of his eighteen years of outstanding work in the science department—for his exceptional ability to produce successful chemists—for his great interest in the academic welfare of the students — and for his achievement of building a prominent science department, we, the class of nineteen forty-two, dedicate our MILESTONE OF 1941 to

History of Hope College On February, 1847, six men and one woman arrived in a sleigh from Allegan on Holland land to plant a colony here. Reverend A. C. Van Raalte led the group and organized the settlement. The educational needs of the West were brought to this man's attention in 1850 and by 1853 he had persuaded the General Synod to reorganize the high school academy with a college.

In his first report of the work to the Synod, Dr. Van Raalte prophesied, "This is my Anchor of Hope for this people in the future," a statement which gives us the name and seal of Hope College. Through the further endeavors of Dr. Van Raalte, funds were raised to separate the college from the academy and the first class of eight members was graduated in 1866. The Theological department was constituted in 1869 and women were admitted to all departments in 1878.

Graves Hall Graves Hall, the gift of Gerrit Winants and Nathan Graves, is the axis on which most of the college life revolves. It contains the administration facilities, library, and classrooms. This building was formerly used as a chapel until the dedication of Hope Memorial Chapel in 1927. Architecturally speaking, it is one of the most beautiful buildings on any small college campus.

Hope Memorial Chapel In a quiet inspirational service, the entire student body every morning worships together in the beautiful Memorial Chapel. A rich slate of speakers, varied musical programs, and a sincere devotional period add value to the attendatice.

President's Home Plans were made for the President's Home in 1888 although it was not completed until 1892. Under the direction of the Council, now the Board of Directors, it stands as planned except for the addition of the porch donation of Harmon Van Slyke in 1912. Since its completion, the presidents of the college have always lived there.

Voorhees Hall Voorhees Hall, home for the girls of Hope, is one of the most beautifully constructed buildings on the campus. Lending atmosphere to the little city which it overlooks, it is built in typically Dutch architecture. A gift from Mr. and Mrs. R. Voorhees, it was dedicated in June, 1907, in honor of their daughter It affords simple but Elizabeth. pleasant and comfortable accom7nodations as the girls' dormitory.

Van Vleck Hall Van Vleck Hall, serving as men's dormitory, stands the sole landmark of the transition from pioneer days of Hope College. It marks a great innovation over those days when enterprising students went into the woods to "log" the timber for college buildings. The structure, erected in 7857 under the direction of Dr. Van Vleck, holds the distinctive position of being the oldest building on the campus.

Carnegie Gymnasium Carnegie Gymnasium, a gift of that great philanthropist, Mr. Andrew Carnegie, rises high above the other structures of the campus at Hope.

Completed and dedicated in June, 1906, during the presidency of Dr. Kollen, this structure has been the nucleus of the always important athletic program of the college.

Van Raalte Hall Van Raalte Hall, dedicated in 1903 to the cause of Christian education, was presented to Hope College in memory of Reverend Van Raalte, the father of Holland, Michigan. In it there are many classrooms; also there are the laboratory rooms for the science courses.

Education Building The Education Building contains lecture rooms where all prospective teachers learn how to be masters of their classrooms. Also found there are the Anchor and Milestone offices, classrooms for the French, and the Commons Room where any student can find a comfortable place during the day to read, play games, or meet a friend.

Science Building The dream of Dr. Wynand Wtchers, a new modernized science building, is becoming a reality. Plans f . breaking ground for this $230,000 structure are scheduled for June. The student body pledged $600 to science drive fund.

Board of Trustees The governing body, the Board of Trustees, has worked the past two years with one definite aim; Hope's new Science Building of 1943. Various campaigns, alumni association drives, special rallies, programs of the Reformed Church have all been directed at this specific goal.

The board is an incorporated group of thirty members assuming the responsibility of the direction of the policies and interests of our institution. Nine of the members are elected by the General Synod of the Reformed Church in America, and other members are elected by the various Classes and Particular Synods of Chicago and Iowa.

The Hope College Board of Trustees holds two meetings a year on the campus. The first is during the month of April and the second is in June. Throughout the year the members are active in committee functions concerning the interest of the college. u r S w , r 0 ^ : , D r ^ C ' I1?- S P a a n ' D r - W - W ' t h e r s , Mrs. J. \V.

Easy with those trunks,

Only 75 miles to go.

scroll half writ, song half sung, joy half tasted; all Life holds — the half.

What prodigality lies in the way She spills her gold of gladness And bright hope on these.

The Youth!

But for these two — the half.

What might the rest have held Of strife, attainment, pain, And quiet certitude at last?

With willing hearts They left their ivork To serve in radiant Light.

— F. H.

Seniors They were Frosh, a hundred and forty-four of them. They were Sophs, they were Juniors, and then— ninety-five graduating Seniors. They went through the mill, and they liked it.

Starting off their last year at Hope with the proverbial bang, the Class of '41 announced that nine of her members had been selected for the Collegiate Who's W h o .

W i t h Edgar Dibble as president the Seniors began the last stretch of their college life. The traditional reception, given by Dr. and Mrs. Wichers in honor of the Seniors, was one of the first social events of the year.

Time went on and for some there was practice teaching while others stuck to the labs. Occasionally there was talk about positions, and even a few engagements were announced.

The Class of 1941 began to take things seriously.

Martyrs to the cause, they heroically gave up their class play and bent every effort toward the 75th Anniversary Pageant.

March arrived and graduation honors were made known. T o Phillip Waalkes went the title of valedictorian, and Marvin Den Herder was named salutatorian. Seniors couldn't wait until after graduation, neither could they resist spring weather, so one day along about May 29th they stole a preview of their coming freedom and had a Skip Day. Summing it all up one of the proud members of the outgoing class said, "Worked, of course; plugged, often; parties—both faculty and student; sleep, in and out of bed; football and basketball; the coke corner, very muchly; and at last — A H H ! the mortar-board!!"

Juniors After three full years of experience, we, the Class of '42, decide that college is not all a grind of study but an all-round life af activity. This year's Juniors sit back and sigh because we realize our college life is more than half over, but we also take a deep breath and smile, for we have accomplished much. T o us, six semesters of hard work mean recognition on the campus and ours will be the privilege of leadership next year at Hope.

From junior ranks come the Campus Queen and the six members for Her Majesty's Court. Those girls outstanding in scholarship and activity during their three years at Hope are tapped for Alcor on May Day. Blue Key, recognizing character and ability in the three-year men, selects those eligible for membership for the national honorary fraternity.

The Class of '42 may well boast, for three of her members are truly "wired for sound". Representing Hope at the State Oratorical contest were Jeannette Rylaarsdam and John Hains, and proving that a woman can talk herself into any position Miss Rylaarsdam brought home third place. For the Pi Kappa Delta Provincial contest, Hains slipped oft with first place. Blase Levai, an orator from "way-back" and by no means a man of few words, mounted the rostrum for Hope when the Michigan State Intercollegiate Peace contest was held there. The judges were unanimous in awarding Levai first place.

Shining also in athletics. Juniors were heroes in varsity basketball and football. Vanden Berg, Tappan, Van Wieren, Visser, Bekken, Hakken, Vanderhill and Meyers all went out and "died for dear old Hope".

And now, as our crowning achievement, we offer you â&#x20AC;&#x201D; T H E MILESTONE for 1941.

Sophomores The Sophs, now two years out of rompers, at last have found that college isn't all glamour of fur coat, fraternity and football. The Class of '43 is perhaps at the most difficult stage of its career. Sophs are too old and wise ( ? ) to have sympathy spilled over them such as they had when they were Frosh, but not old and wise enough to have much of a place on the campus. However, it must be noted here that they have always had a certain "drag" â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they pulled both '42 and '44 through the acqua.

Going a bit Sopht-hearted, they relinquished the Nykerk Cup to the Frosh femmes.

Groomed well by Coach Schouten last year, the athletes of the class (Timmer, D e Fouw, Kleinjans, Hendrix, Hoek, Koop, Riemersma

63

and the Prince twins) received places on Hope's varsity squads.

The Sophs tried something new this year and from all reports they were very clever at it. Syd MacGregor was madame chairman for this Soph Carnival and the party, it seems, was just one mirthquake of laughter.

One hundred and twenty-four would-be Juniors had a busy year. Harvey Koop made a good leader, and it's no wonder because he had a good crowd to lead. They're optimists, the Class of '43, for though they haven't really distinguished themselves as yet there is something about every Soph that shouts, "Just wait â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it wont' be long now!"

Freshmen Dear Editor: This is the beginning of a story of college life. W e came, we saw, â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we wore green. It didn't take long for the rushing epidemic to subside. Paradoxically enough, we were entertained and then paddled for having too good a time.

W e got pulled through the river which probably was g o o d for us, but we retaliated by taking the Nykerk Cup Contest (which was good for the Sophs). W e were called up before the Student Council for certain misdemeanors and then called down because we were too much of a War Department.

N o t to be outdone by upperclassmen, we had our first party on January 18 to the tune

of roller-skates. W e were on our o w n as far as athletics were concerned, earning the title of "champs" in almost all the games we played.

Through Jack Schouten's coaching we hope to become the spark plugs of next year's athletic activities.

Our main thought this year was to establish a good reputation on which we could slide through to our senior year. Time has turtled on and we're about to be promoted from our tenderfoot rating. W e were outstanding in one field, however â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we were the plebes w h o made life interesting at Hope in 1941.

Women's Glee Club Those tryouts in the Chapel certainly started us off in fine fettle.

About eighty would-be nightingales trembled through the preliminaries while their knees knocked and the building shook, and then thirty were c h o s e n to be t h e H o p e C o l l e g e Women's Glee Club. Interest ran especially high this year, for lo and behold, we had a man! Our director, Professor Cavanaugh, really gave us something to chirp about. W e took off with "Tally-ho" by Leoni and we galloped the rest of the year.

There was a concert in Grand Rapids where we sang "Psalm 150" by Franck, and "Abide With Me", in which our petite soloists Marjorie Brouwer and Janet Arnold shone. W e aren't Schumann-Heinks or Galli Curcis but we had a place in the spotlight during Holland's Tulip Time when we sang at Third Reformed Church.

Believe it or take it for what it's

worth, but we were martyrs this year.

The Men's Glee Club monopolized almost all the glory. It was our year to go East on a concert tour, but, it was their turn, so we heroically sacrificed all. ( W e probably couldn't have done anything about it anyway!)

Well, whether you think we look happy in this picture or not, it was a lot of fun. If you could only have heard us doing R i m s k y - K o r s a k o v ' s "Song of India" you would have no doubts! And then there was our annual celebration, the absolute femininth degree of something-or-other.

"Ah, yes," the girls figure, "it was a year well spent." And so it was, for thirty girls, when they get together once a week, can make mean music.

Men's Glee Club In the limelight all year has been the Hope College Men's Glee Club. And if you say the boys are just plain good — it's a masterpiece of understatement. There are thirty-two of them this year and here and now we'd like to tell them what we think of them!

T h e y ' r e t h e essence of s u p e r b i t y ; they're stiff competition for any male vocal group east of the Mississippi; they're the best Men's Glee Club this college has had for many a moon.

Here you see them in action, tuxed and all. And on your left — the man responsible for this burst of praise.

Professor C a v a n a u g h , the baritone with the busy baton, has something of which to be proud.

Big event this year was the concert trip they made during spring vacation.

A1 Shiphorst, business-manager, must receive much credit for his was a role well-played. This tour was highly successful due to the combined efforts of the entire group. Not only are they vocally inclined but these young men

also included in their concerts several instrumental n u m b e r s by t a l e n t e d members of the organization.

Their favorite song, and one especially w e l l - r e c e i v e d was t h e wellknown "The Sleigh" by Kountz. They also are famous for their rendition of V i c t o r Herbert's " T r a m p , T r a m p , Tramp", in which their director sang the solo part. Definitely not to be o v e r - l o o k e d is t h e i r "Alma Mater Hymn", composed by Professor Cavanaugh, with which they concluded each program.

The Men's Glee Club is absolutely an asset to the college, and has certainly done much valuable work in promoting enthusiasm for Hope's program of expansion.

Orchestra An eminent member of that unique, new music organization on the campus, known as the Hope College Orchestra, tells us (in an unverified statement) that the orchestra is second to the New York Philharmonic in size, but . . .

The director is the world renowned {our world) maestro, Mr. Mearns, who is famous for his original interpretations of old masters. W e must note here his unusual, individualistic, startling, and amazing rendition of the recent Opus 37, 5th Movement, Andante, by the notorious Russian composer, Eyma Litteloffki. (Editor's note: This is the first musical blitzkrieg that has come out of the war zone.)

Coming down to earth to talk actualities now, we want you to know that of all the stories we've ever told this is the truth! The orchestra really came into its own and did itself proud with a super performance on May Day. The debut was made with great eclat, and the program included "Magic Flute" -

Mozart

"Dance of the Happy Sylphs" . Gluck "Raymond Overture" . . . .

Thomas "Marche Militaire" Shuhert "Pomp and Circumstance" . . . Elgar "Bouree" Krebs These numbers were a fitting accompaniment to the colorful celebration in which Hope crowned its lovely queen for the coming year. Our eminent authority also states that as many flattering comments were heard concerning the orchestra as about the queen. He further goes on to state, "Verily, it was a professional performance worth much praise!"

(Editor's note: To satisfy the curious, the eminent authority above quoted is Gordon Berkel, treasurer.)

Band There is a group on the campus that deserves much more recognition than it is now receiving. True, it doesn't often get a chance to "strut its stuff", but for all the practising it does and for all the fine work it has accomplished this year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we've got to give it a hand!

Yay . . . Band!

N o w unless you are anti-music-prejudiced, and we never have heard of such a term, you are curious to know what the new band's got that gets you. First, and before you get a chance to count the noses in the picture, we'll tell you â&#x20AC;&#x201D; there are all of sixteen instrumentalists in this bouquet of budding maestros. N o w as for the dramatic shot in ye lower right-hande cornere (with the photographer almost standing on the ceiling) you can get some semblance of an idea what the outfit looks like . . . in action.

It was under the frantic gesticulations of the talented Scottish conductor. Professor Mearns, that the band put in such a successful year of syncopation.

Besides swinging out for the football frolics and the basketball battles, the band

perpetrated two programs for the edification of the student body, and one fulllength evening jam session. Concerning the latter we here note that with gurgling cornets, drooling clarinets, mewing saxes, smearing trombones, slushy baritones and blasting basses, the band g a l l o p e d through "Ruy Bias Overture" by Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, "Country Gardens" by Percy Grainger, and "The Old Refrain"

by Fritz Kreisler. Gordon Berkel, featured soloist of the evening, rode his licorice stick in great style as he raced the band through the strains of Von Weber's "Concertino".

The end of the year found the band hep to the step and smartly prancing down the streets of Holland during Tulip Time, while the townspeople gazed in shocked amazement at their spritely gyrations and the high-stepping drum-majorettes.

Concert Series With Scottish ballads and a delicious sense of humor, Cameron McLean treated Hope students in a short appearance during chapel period. This Scottish baritone has made many appearances throughout the country and has been highly applauded for his exceptional ability.

With Negro spirituals and Malotte's "Lord's Prayer", Pruth McFarlin, a talented Negro tenor, delighted his audience in a concert presented October 20. McFarlin is a member of the faculty of Piney Woods School of Mississippi.

John Carter, a well-known Metrop o l i t a n t e n o r , s a n g in M e m o r i a l Chapel, November 11. He has made many appearances on the opera stage, concert stage, and over the radio. He was received at a formal reception in Voorhees Hall following the concert.

The Kraeuter Trio, consisting of Phyllis Kraeuter, cellist, Karl Kraeuter, violinist, and Willard MacGregor, pianist, presented a concert in Memorial Chapel February 26. All three members of the group are soloists and have appeared abroad and in many â&#x20AC;˘ American cities.

Chapel Choir Seated before the beautiful chancel window in Hope Memorial Chapel, and robed in royal blue and orange, the choir rehearses a new opening sentence composed by a student member. Under the direction of maestro Robert Cavanaugh, Hope's masterful new music professor, the Chapel Choir last fall entered its eleventh year.

The first major performance this year was the presentation of Handel's "Messiah" in which the choir was ably assisted by the Holland Civic Chorus.

Occasionally the music-minded group sang special selections in Chapel. During the Week of Prayer the seventy-five voices again blended together to make the Chapel Holy Week services more impressive. arrived and on Good Friday the choir sang

"Father, Forgive Them" from Dubois' oratorio The Seven Last Words. Students and faculty heard Clinton Harrison and Robert Vander Hart singing the solos.

At a Sunday afternoon concert for the Organ Guild the group sang "Beautiful Saviour" and "Built on a Rock", the latter, in which Professor Cavanaugh himself sang a solo part, was probably the choir's favorite anthem.

For the first time the Chapel Choir this year participated in Holland's annual Tulip Festival. Joined by the Holland High School Chorus and accompanied by the University of Michigan Symphony Orchestra, the choir sang the popular Latouche-Robinson "Ballad for Americans".

Y W celebrated its fortieth anniversary this year as an organization on Hope's campus. With well planned weekly meetings plus many varied college activities, the Y W cabinet has fulfilled its responsibilities of helping Hope's coeds to attain gracious womanhood.

The annual prayer week sponsored by the Y's featured Dr. Stephen James of Albany, New York. A week of daily lectures, personal interview and an open

forum gave the students a great opportunity to become acquainted with Dr. James. The Mission Drive, directed by Ruth De Young and Howard Hoekje, was held for the purpose of aiding college students in China. Approximately six hundred and three dollars was pledged in the contest between four chapel sections. The customary Easter Sunrise service was held with an invitation to all students to attend. George Campbell was again enlisted to lead group singing in a successful all-college party in the gym.

Eloise Boynton led the Y group as president; Jennie Spoelstra served as vice-president; Nelvie Vanderbilt handled the financial affairs; and Morrell Webber was secretary.

Y. M. C. A. Several new wrinkles in the established, basic Y pattern were evident this year in the Student Christian Association program. The Cabinet was led in its planning by the following officers: Gordon Van Wyk, president; Stanley Slingerland, vice-president; Ray Olthof, secretary; and Justin Aalpoel, treasurer.

Albany, brought the very pertinent and practical messages of the week.

Better faculty-student understanding and a better realization of our own local campus needs were the results of Y's newest project, the Faculty Firesides. On the first evening the small intimate groups at the various professors' homes discussed very profitably the social code of the campus, and the second Fireside was built about the theme, "The Christian Community on the Campus."

A week of Freshman Orientation initiated the year's activities. Then the Cabinets threw all their energies into the work of staging a drive for a scholarship fund for our church's own Talmadge College in the Amoy Mission. After listening to the story of the Chinese students as presented on successive mornings by Dr. F. M. Potter, Rev. H. N . Veenschoten, and Rev. H. Poppen, the student body pledged a sum of well over Ave hundred dollars for the work.

The efforts of Vice-president Slingerland to procure an exceptionally fine grade of speakers for the weekly inspirational services were rewarded by the fine attendance evident throughout the year. Missionaries Bruins and Veenschoten and Drs. Drukker, Zimmerman, Romig, and Beardslee from the Eastern section of our church must be particularly mentioned.

The inspiration of Prayer Week as carried out during February lingered long with the students, faculty, and townfolk alike.

Dr. M. Stephen James of Old First Church,

addition to the four usual officers there are two committeemen-at-large who, with the vice-president, form the program committee.

Prof. Henry Bast is the founder and advisor of the group.

Alpha Chi was organized this year to enable these young men to "acquaint themselves with the problems of the Christian ministry". The meetings consist of talks by men experienced in the minister's problems.

Topics are chosen to aid the young men in becoming better qualified for Christian service. Each topic is approached from an intellectual and professional point of view, and and is followed by group discussion.

Officers who served for the first year were: President, William Miller; vice-president, Ray Olthof; secretary, Arthur Johnson; treasurer, Daniel Fylstra; and committeemen-at-large Robert Swart and Ellsworth Dykstra.

Membership is open only to men who intend to enter the Christian ministry, including missionary work or other full-time Christian service. The charter members number approximately fifty students. In 91

The program for the first year included Doctor Simon Blocker on "Red Lights of the Ministry", a debate on "Anti-Christian Literature", the Reverend William J. Hilmert and Harold Mackey on "Church Government", the Reverend John Van Lierop on "The Belgian Gospel Mission", Doctor Menninga on "Psychology in the Ministry", and other speakers.

Pi Kappa Delta Anybody who likes to hear himself talk or cares to take a chance on exposing other people to the same tries to get into Pi Kappa Delta, national honorary forensic group.

In the fall of each school year this organization sponsors a Forensic Rally to stimulate interest in speech activities. It is here that those students showing talent in publicspeaking are noted as "most likely to succeed".

Aside from the intercollegiate debates and extempore speaking and the local oratorical contests Pi Kap announced that three of her proteges won special honors this year. Jeanette Rylaarsdam placed third in the State Oratorical Contest and John Hains won blue ribbon place in the Pi Kap Province of the Lakes contest.

This year at our second annual Forensic Day Hope was host to ten colleges for the

State Peace Oratorical Contest. Representatives were registered from Bay City Junior College, University of Grand Rapids, University of Detroit, Michigan State Normal, Olivet, Calvin, Albion, Western State Teachers' College, and Highland Park Junior College. Here, too. Blase Levai carried off honors for Hope, winning first place in this State contest.

Pi Kap requires not only the "gift of gab" but participation in intercollegiate forensics.

In April new members are admitted on the basis of their ability in public-speaking. It takes Pi Kap as well as the athletic teams to put the glory in Glory Day. OFFICERS Mary Ruth Jacobs, President Norma Becksfort, Vice-president Charles Stoppels, Secretary

Oratory

In January the thirty dollar prize in the Raven contest for men was awarded to John Hains for his oration, "The Lamp of Freedom." A n d r e w V e l d h u i s placed second in the field of seven contestants. On March 7, Hains represented Hope in the State O r a t o r i c a l c o n t e s t and placed fourth in a field of ten contestants. Later at the biennial Pi Kappa Delta Provincial contest he was awarded the first place gold medal in oratory.

The women's Adelaide contest and a prize of twenty-five dollars was won by Miss Jeanette N. Rylaarsdam, junior from Minnesota. Miss Emily Bielfield, Holland senior, placed second, choosing as her subject, "Youth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Defend Your Citadel!" In the State Contest at Hillsdale, Miss Rylaarsdam placed high in the elimination meet. In the evening's contest she was awarded the third place bronze medal speaking on the subject, "The Undesirable One." The annual Peace contest to determine Hope's representative in the State meet was entered by five men. Blase Levai, last year's victorious orator, won the unanimous decision of the judges. In the State contest, held at Hope, Levai competed against ten orators and was awarded first place and a prize of fifty dollars for the oration, "The Broken Sword."

Later he delivered this much c a l l e d - f o r w o r k at v a r i o u s churches and luncheon clubs, as did the winners of the other oratorical contests.

All three of Hope's contestants were coached by Professor William Schrier and much of the credit for their successes must be attributed to his able coaching and reliable advice.

Women's Debate The record set by the Women's debate teams of Hope this year easily disproves the accusation that women's debating is merely "a verbal feast on a mental fast". Though thus classed by the male members of the forensic teams the girls have come through with flying colors.

This season the girls were busy defending or attacking the proposition, "Resolved, that the nations of the Western Hemisphere form a permapermanent union." The squad of about ten active members was coached this year by Professor William Schrier, Men's debate coach. Women's debate manager was Ruth Stryker.

After a warming-up practice with intermural debates and engagements with Grand Rapids Junior College, the season opened "with a bang." It ran an illustrious course to end with participation in the largest debate tourna-

ment in the country at Manchester, Indiana.

As a send-off for the year, five girl's teams participated in the Women's debate tournament at Kalamazoo in January. The Hope girls took third place by winning five of twelve decisions. A month later the two top teams debated at the State Tourney at Wayne University, Detroit.

The climax of the debate year was the two-day Manchester, Indiana, tournament. Here, meeting teams from five states the girl's team set the record for Hope's squads.

Adding to the color of the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; dining at the Stockholm, post mortems, judges from Aloha, D.A.R. debates, poetry a la Schrier, Belle Isle, alarms that failed to go off, Beth's singing, and, of course.

Student Council September, and the campus comes alive once more; not with the bloom of Tulip Time, but with the radiant green of incoming Frosh. Hovering over them with protective care is the Student Council, applying added green where it's needed most, and discipline likewise. There are two contests this group holds to settle ancient animosities between the Frosh and the Sophs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Black River Pull for the boys, and the Nykerk Cup Contest for the girls.

Then comes November and the Council engineers Homecoming. Old grads, beautiful floats, football, pep meeting, frat house decorations, and finally, the banquet. This month also sees the famous H o p e College Dutch Treat W e e k which gives the co-eds a chance, like the Canadian Mounties, to "get their man".

ing. This project netted a S600 donation by the students, and which resulted in a glorious Glory Day. Altogether the Student Council plays a most important part in student life on the campus. It serves as a mediary between faculty and students and relieves the former of many duties. Members are chosen one from each society and a boy and girl representative from the freshman class. The president is elected by the student body in one of the most exciting campaigns and elections of the year.

Plus financing the Commons Room, considering with other organizations in bringing worthwhile speakers to the campus, and playing a large part in the May Day activities, the Council climaxed the year 1940-1941 with a drive for the new Science Build-

Women's Activities League Probably the most democratic set-up on the campus is the Women's Activities League. Nearly every co-ed is a member and is entitled to vote for r e p r e s e n t a t i v e s and officers on the Board. One girl from each class, sorority and woman's organization is elected to serve on the W.A.L. Congress for one year. So much for business. . . .

Now comes the fun. Each co-ed on the Board has a certain duty, a duty that requires a lot of hard work, initiative, i n g e n u i t y , and f i n i s h i t i v e but turns out to be great sport. One must edit the b u l l e t i n s w h i c h a n n o u n c e W.A.L.'s plans for the year. One must be chairman of the main project, which last March happened to be a super-plus style show. One must direct the May Day festivities, and thereby has one-third control in choosing the Campus Queen. W.A.L. floats a tea or two, and since two heads are sometimes better than one, we find a couple' of girls in charge.

Just so the male element won't feel neglected, W.A.L. permits two girls to plan an All-College skating party, carnival or Sadie Hawkins Day (this year it was a get-your-money's-worth three-in-one affair). Ah, yes, and another duo gets a chance to go artistic and decorate the Queen's float for the Homecoming parade. It also takes two femmes to have the last word, and that makes them chairmen of the final event of the year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the All-College Sing.

Now, for all the effort and energy expended by this lively group of coeds you must agree they deserve a f l i n g themselves, so the o u t g o i n g Board has a dinner and the incoming Congress has a tea. And, well, like F . D . R . and T e n n y s o n ' s "Brook", W.A.L. will go "on and on forever".

"H" Club The 'H' club is an organization which does much to stimulate interest in athletics on Hope's campus. This society is composed entirely of men who are interested in athletics and have won a Varsity award, either on the gridiron, the basketball court, the track, the fairway, or the tennis court.

One of the many aims of the 'H' club is to bring promising athletes to Hope College to help maintain its past glories. But scholastic ability is also important, as much valuable time must be spent practicing to preserve Hope's brilliant records.

Hope is proud of the men in the 'H' club, and is proud, too, of the many honors that they have brought to Hope College.

English Majors Club When President Bertha Vis calls the meeting of the English Majors to order important business gets under way. After Secretary-treasurer Ruth Klaasen calls the roll, Vice-president Mary Bolema appoints the chairman for the next meeting. A discussion then follows which may concern important constructions in grammar or other English problems, or, even the review of a new book.

Programs are always varied and interesting. Sometimes a play is presented, or one of the group gives a reading from some famous selection.

Occasionally an outside speaker provides entertainment for the evening.

One of the "major" projects of the club is to bring prominent lecturers to

the campus for the benefit of the entire student body.

Once a year Dr. James Warner, the club's favorite faculty fellow, as a special treat entertains the literati at his home for a real social gathering.

In the spring the Seniors invite junior rhetoricians and those interested in the great English scholars such as Shakespeare, Milton, and Johnson, to a dinner meeting. It is at this formal gathering that elections are held to determine the most capable in the group of Seniors-elect to head the organization for the following year.

German Club "Die Deutsche Verein Vereia" was particularly instructive and interesting this year. Meeting the last Wednesday of every month the Club has successfully grown.

Meetings have been well planned and various in subject matter. The Christmas meeting was composed of the story of how "Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht" came to be written, and the story of toy making in Germany.

Gerrit Bruins sang "Holy Night" for the group. German refugees, Paul Fried and Paul Gottwald, discussed education in Germany and in America in a comprehensive review of their observations. ÂŤ Skits given in German with necessary actions, broom sticks for horses, and sound effects in the rear, had the members in fits of laughter. "Guten Abend, Gute Nacht", sung by Helen Leslie and Ann De Young, brought the meeting to a close on a lovely note.

"Modern Germany" was a program discussing Germany today as to reli101

gion, government, and policy. "What America Has W o n " consisted of the lives of eminent Germans who are now living in America and contributing to its culture. The German Club drew to a hilarious close with a June beach party with Marjorie Last in charge. Amid hot dogs, cokes and laughter, the club adjourned until next September. Miss Boyd as sponsor added zest with her never depleted store of German games and stories.

Helen Leslie headed the club this year with Harry Frissel planning the programs as Vice-president. Howard Van Egmond and Nancy Boynton kept the records straight and the budget balanced. Doris Vander Borgh led the enthusiastic group singing at each meeting.

French Club "S'il vous plait, mes enfants, parlez en francais!" This might well be the theme song of Le Cercle Francais, for it was a stock phrase and heard often at every meeting this year. The French Club met every other Wednesday night in the Commons Room and the picture appearing on this page comes close to being a typical scene (minus, of course, "Alouette" and "Frere Jacques").

Toujours, toujours we sang; sometimes folk songs, sometimes Christmas carols — we remember one in particular sung by a tout a fait francaise trio and played by Barbara Folensbee. That was the time Mrs. Prins surprised us with the popcorn balls.

Second semester Edwin Carlin's chair was left vacant, and so Marthene Van Dyke became Mademoiselle la presidente. Alors, then, we witnessed a modern French fairy tale in which Nola Nies, Howard Hoekje and Alvin Schutmaat took part. Our two talent-

ed violinists, Carolyn Kremers and Pauline Loew, played "Kiki" by Savino, — and so we "sat" for the photographer. That meeting really took the eclair, and so did we!

Then, at still another seance magnifique Dr. Lichty's class in conversation presented two one-act plays, "Les Deux Sourds" and "La Surprise d'lsadore". W e were quite disappointed this year because we missed our petite doctor's pet expression (with much enthusiasm) "Pas du tout, du tout, du tout, du tout!!"

The future looks bright for Le Cercle Francais, and in spite of the tragedy abroad we still say "Vive la France!"

Alcor One of the big thrills of May Day, they say, is to h e a r y o u r n a m e announced when Alcor members are being tapped. This is because the gold star and the blue "A" stand for the recognition Hope's co-eds may receive for three years of hard work. Alcor is four years old and perhaps the most exclusive group on the campus. Her members may be only those junior girls who have excelled in scholarship, participation in campus activities, and character.

Alcor's purpose must here be mentioned. It recognizes and encourages leadership; it means more than a high academic standard; Alcor stimulates and develops a finer type of college woman.

103

This year, with Ruth Stryker as president, Alcor started her activities by selling H o m e c o m i n g souvenirs.

Later on, they made refreshments for the girls in the dormitory. With Miss Metta J. Ross and Mrs. Peter Prins as patronesses and Dean E. E. Lichty as faculty advisor, Alcor this year enjoyed many a tea and dinner party. In the spring they entertained "guests".

Yes, Alcor may well be proud of her class of '41, for it has reached the zenith of intellectual and extracurricular activity among Hope's women.

Blue Key The truth of the is the ultimate goal the campus. A bid formal is probably tation a Hope coed

matter is that Blue Keyof every male student on to the Blue Key spring the most treasured invicould have.

Hope College is the only small college in Michigan that can boast a Blue Key chapter.

Plus that it is the only national honorary fraternity of Collegium Spei.

Blue Key was organized at the University of Florida in 1924, and Hope's chapter was admitted May 12, 1932. It is composed of senior men selected for high scholarship and active participation in campus affairs; it requires three years of outstanding leadership and service to the college before a man can become eligible for membership.

Not so difficult to understand, then, is the reason Blue Key has chosen for its motto, "Serving W e Live". Evidence of this service

is the Blue Key bookstore, this year managed by Henry Voogd and William Miller.

Edgar Dibble, editing the Student Guide, was ably aided and abetted by Marvin Den Herder, Phillip Waalkes and Robert Montgomery. Robert Dykstra was chairman of that special spring party.

With Professor E. Paul McLean as advisor and with Professors Hinga, Kleinheksel, Raymond, and Lampen as honorary members, the 1941 Blue Key men added more glory to their fraternity's name. They will be remembered as the group that installed a much needed public address system in the chapel and also a flood light for the chancel window.

Anchor Standing as the bi-weekly courier of what goes on at Hope, the Anchor, under the capable leadership of Fritz Bertsch, again had an eventful year, in which it brought forth new ideas, took care of old ones, and gave the staff a chance to emote in writing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something that every student desires.

Big man on the Anchor staff for the last three years has been A1 Van Dyke.

He has held the responsible position of Business Manager, and verily he has held it well. Nancy Boynton, Milton Verberg and Forrest Prindle also deserve much credit for the splendid work they have done as the all-important editorial and re-write men.

As for the paper, it speaks for itself and it speaks for the students. "As I See It", "Squibs", "Let the Sparks Fly", the prying "Thnooper", and the inevitable "Student Prints" â&#x20AC;&#x201D; these were highlights of the Journal.

Editor Bertsch and his associate, Lorraine Timmer, escorted several of our campus reporters to the Michigan Collegiate Press convention at Lansing.

Yes, and just for fun D o l l y Kamps engineered the scoop of the year. It turned out to be a successful hayride party that very appropriately wound up at the Anchor Inn. Making the most of business and pleasure, the staff has spent an enjoyable and profitable year.

So, during 1941-42, the Anchor of Hope told the news, it made its readers laugh, it tried hard to be different when it could, and most of all, it served as the student voice as to what was new.

Chemistry Club Every other Wednesday in the chemistry room there meets that very intellectual group known as the Chemistry Club.

Chem club also encourages a feeling of fellowship among these students who enjoy a common interest.

Members of "Chem club" are elected when Sophomores, upon completion of a year's work in chemistry if they are planning to make this field their life work, and also if they have been recommended by the faculty members of the organization.

The Chemistry Club takes standing graduates who have The group feels that some of alumni may be credited to the while members of the club.

The club was organized seventeen years ago for the purpose of creating interest in chemistry.

Since class work is so limited the group is thus provided with an extra opportunity to delve into problems which particularly interest them. These problems are presented to the rest of the members in the form of papers at the regular meetings.

At the same time Peter Hamel had banded together another group of students vitally interested in art — and they, too, came to Miss Ross for advice. They wanted art for Pete's sake!

This all happened last October, and the result is a combination of art and drama in what is now the Pallette and Masque Club, thirty-five members strong. At first activities were confined mostly to the making of posters to advertise college functions, but before long a class in free-hand drawing was organized with the vice-president doing the instructing.

Commons Room The Commons Room, attractively appointed in maple furniture with maroon and royal blue leather upholstery, is becoming more and more a thing indispensable to the college. Although for a while "classroom atmosphere" still haunted the second floor of the Education Building, it gradually has lost its stiffness.

Open to all students during the day the Commons Room offers ping-pong, magazines, games, a radio, or a place to study or just sit and gab.

N o t long ago it was rumored ahout that several campus romances had started with the mixed doubles tennis tournament.

At night the Commons is the meeting place of various organizations. It is here midst the colorful draperies and soft light that the Student Council meets. Le Cercle Francais, Der Deutsche Verein, and English Majors each have followed suit in holding club meetings there. On Saturday

mornings Pallette and Masque convenes, and has staged several splendid one-act plays in the Commons.

Probably you have already realized it, but the Commons Room is the most convenient place on the campus for committee meetings, play rehearsals, and even ""practices" for the All-College Sing. However, have you realized its other values? You students w h o spend your time getting ousted from the Library for causing too much racket might here take note. It's your Commons Room.

Milestone This is the first edition of The Milestone, 1941. It is the best known work of the author, the Class of '42. The book is not expected to rank high as best seller, but it will undoubtedly be perused again and again by the students attending Hope College. The purpose of this publication is to serve only as a memoir of life on Hope's campus.

A wealth of praise goes to our chief photographer, Philip A. Harrington, graduate of the Clarence H. White School of Photography, N e w York City, and special student of Eliot Elisophan, staff photographer on "Life" magazine. Peter Hamel, Joseph Whitworth, and Eugene Hoover, Art editors, deserve high recognition for their excellent work. Also we wish to express our sincere gratitude to our faculty advisor. Professor Clarence De Graaf, for his conscientiousness and never-failing willingness to help in the growth and production of this book.

This year Editor-in-chief Blase Levai, his assistant, Lorraine Timmer, and the energetic Milestone staff have sparkled forth with a brilliant diamond-theme in keeping with the 75th anniversary of our Alma Mater. But withal, there is an astonishing amount of cutting, grinding and polishing before the gem can be put on the market in 109

its scintillating beauty. N o t flawless perhaps, but as nearly so as we can make it.

Like all diamonds, our s t o n e â&#x20AC;&#x201D; T h e Milestone, is a product of great pressure. For weeks we heard that the printer had our editor's head "in a vice". W e survived pressure and force; we relinquished conserving the midnight oil with which to polish The Milestone.

Here's our jewel, â&#x20AC;&#x201D; let it blaze, Levai!

Alethea Memories? Plenty of them will enhance the year for all members. During the "rush" season there was the Alethean fair . . . the dinner at Anchor Inn, followed by a taffy pull at Waldo's. Then came the eventful day when the pledges were entertained from sun-up to sun-down, dinner at Cherry Inn, heightened by "Moon Over Burma". A series of clever weekly programs, the Lincoln Tea, and the Valentine treat followed.

Climaxing the winter activities, the Aletheans took their guests for an hilarious tour to the "Land of Bunk".

None of us will ever forget the spring formal.

Although Alethea is the youngest

literary sorority on Hope's campus, having been organized by a group of enthusiastic girls in the fall of 1924, she ranks high in her share of prominent alumnae, especially in the field of Christian service. Not only are there prominent alumnae, but since Alethea has become a reality, her members have been active participants in campus activities.

Interwoven throughout the pattern of Alethean activities are the ideals of friendship, truth, laughter, reverence, the development of which is preeminent in the sorority. Throughout the coming years, Alethea hopes to move greater glory with her creed as her guide.

Delphi Another year has passed and Delta Phi bows to her Seniors. They did so much for Delphi and for Hope, and we'll miss them. It was Mary Bolema who maneuvered May Day this year; yes, and Ruth Klaasen led W.A.A. as president. It was Ruth Schuitema's energy and ideas that resulted in the radio-vie for the Dorm and the novel banquet decorations on May 9th. Next year we won't have Laura Roosenraad to help W.A.L. plan the Orientation Tea. W e lose Marjorie Last, too, who made such a good skipper for our winter formal. And next fall we'll miss little Doris Van Lente 'cause she did so well holding Delphi's moneybags her junior year and being official

scribe while a Senior.

Teas, breakfasts and potlucks made for a busy year. A round-robin for the new girls and then a formal rushing party; thirteen neophytes and then . . . "Quiet, child, you're only a pledge!"

"And when he came I sent my roommate down . . . we heard something like this at every Heifer session.

Women's Athletic Association Four years ago the women on Hope's campus began to show their independence, and as a result there has been an increased interest in athletics for women.

It took "Kit" Van Raalte, Class of '39, to start the ball rolling and she automatically became the first president of the Women's Athletic Association. Since that time Ruth Van Popering, '40, and Ruth Klaasen, '41, have carried on in her footsteps.

are bowling and basketball in the winter, and tennis reigns alone as the girls' favorite in the spring. Other minor sports which attract attention are golf, hiking, and track events.

The annual M.I.A.A. Women's Tennis tournament was the final round-up to the athletic program. The meet was held on Hope's campus this year and by a point system the winning team was selected.

Advised by Miss Lichty, Miss Ross, and "Jack" Schouten, the board consists of both selected and appointed members. The two members elected in their sophomore year serve throughout their junior and senior years. In their senior year one becomes president and the other secretary of the organization.

The Hope W.A.A. has been very energetic in developing its sports program and because of the success of the program the local organization has gained the respect and admiration of the other M.I.A.A. colleges.

Meeting every other week to plan activities in which all coeds are privileged to take part, the board has sponsored a number of successful sports. Among the most popular

Athletic Debt Diggers Athletic Debt Diggers, the group of bright, willing, young coeds who are distinguished by their orange and blue sweaters, "'dug in" to help the Athletic Association carry a heavy load.

Today this organization of ambitious girls continues its important function. These are the girls who sell the oh-so-good hot dogs and coffee plus candy and pop at the football games, remember? This money goes to aid the men's athletic association.

But, the A.D.D. girls don't stop when the grid season closes. They are also around for every basketball game to sell frostbites, more candy, and the ever-necessary chewing-gum to the sports fans. Their skill at catching coins is a sight fearful and wonderful to behold. Proceeds from their sales provide the necessary funds for the women's sports activities.

Each spring the girls celebrate at a banquet at which elections are held and new members are selected to take the places of the retiring Seniors. Last year Marian Tysse was honored with the presidency, and she it was who officiated at the meeting when one Freshman from each sorority was chosen to serve on A.D.D. This year the girls enjoyed a prosperous season and were particularly happy over the cooperation they received not only from the fans but the city council! The latter installed new cupboards for their use at the football games.

ing champions on our field for the Homecoming game. This year's game with Albion was well spotted with fumbles, incomplete passes and penalties. At the end of the first quarter, our boys opened up. Passes and line bucks brought the ball to the three.

But the Albion line held, and they took over on the half yard line. Late in the second quarter, Albion recovered a blocked punt deep in our territory, and went on to make the only score of the day. Hope was outgained, but not outfought, and the tide of victory could have gone either way. With this game ended our M.I.A.A. season, and we ended up in a third place tie with Hillsdale, behind Alma and Albion.

Coach Steele brought a powerful team built around Lou Charon. In the third quarter Mike Crell dropkicked a field goal giving J. C. a 3-0 lead. Hope came roaring back, and mid-way in the fourth period, Timmer, sophomore star, carried the ball for a touchdown.

With only two minutes to go, J. C. blocked a punt, and recovered on the ten yard line. Crell and Charon carried over in three plays. Final score, 10-6.

'Here's how you do it," Coach Hinga shows the team.

Varsity Basketball Graduation last year of five varsity men left big holes to fill, and aspirants were out in the gym even before the football season was over. Back from last year's squad came four lettermen.

Supported by some of last year's strong Frosh, prospects for placing high in M.I.A.A. race were good.

A lop-sided 59-39 win over Muskegon Junior opened the varsity schedule. This game showed that Hope was not to be counted out of the race. The Adrian team was our first M.I.A.A. opponent, but was defeated 46-35 as Hope came through in the "pinches".

The following week we beat Kazoo to continue our winning streak. Not until the last three minutes was this rough and tumble battle decided. The boys came home with bruises and a 43-37 victory.

During

the

Christmas

holidays.

Hope initiated a rivalry with Grand Rapids University in a close, hardfought game which was anybody's ball game until Monty and Visser sank "two buckets" to insure a 47-42 win.

The following game turned out to be the highlight of the year, as the underdog Dutch for the first time since Mr. Hinga started coaching at Hope defeated the Broncos of Western State in a fast game marked by Hope's accurate shooting. The final score was 48-35.

Continuing to show power, the Hingamen piled up a 62-32 score over Hillsdale. The reserves went in for the last few minutes and everyone on the squad scored. Olivet was the next team to be taken into camp by the Dutch, 51-28.

The Albion game was played with1H

out Captain Montgomery and Long John Visser. It was close, but with a last minute rally, Hope was able to win 35-31. Visser's absence due to illness was keenly felt. It was our seventeenth straight victory.

Hampered by illness and unable to cope with Keith Carey's twenty points, our team was defeated by the Alma Scots. W e revived our winning streak by defeating the Ypsi Hurons 53-45.

During exam week the team traveled to Adrian and played a return match with the Bulldogs. It was an easy win with the score 55-30. A lastsecond bucket in the first half of the game with Kalamazoo gave Kazoo a 20-10 lead, but Hope came back fighting the next half and outscored them 25-16, though it wasn't enough, for Kazoo won, 36-35.

The next week Hope played three teams, Hillsdale, Olivet, and Ypsi. At Hillsdale, Hope had no trouble outclassing the Dales and winning 68-31.

On a weekend trip, we first met Olivet, One more basket to tie u p the game.

and took them 57-36. But the next night at Ypsi, the boys felt the strain of the two earlier games and met defeat, 43-32.

Albion came to Hope and returned beaten in a close game, 32-25. Hope was behind again at the half, but came back fighting to outscore them all the way in 2-1.

The last game of the season saw Hope traveling to Alma. It was a good game, Hope keeping in the running until the last ten minutes of the game, but lost 82-64. This gave Alma her first M.I.A.A. crown since 1931.

Thus did the Hope squad finish their 1941 season which started out rather weakly, rose to great heights in beating Western and then sank again as the season closed. Alma took first place while Hope ended in slot number two.

The record books give us fourteen wins out of seventeen starts. W e outscored our opponents, 778-626.

Freshman Basketball The Hope College freshman squad, due to the excellent material and coaching by Jack Schouten, finished their season with an unbeaten record.

Their first opponent was the Fraternal team, last year's inter-fraternity champs, who offered little opposition in being beaten. The Cosmo team, runner-up last year, was next, and again the Frosh had little trouble disposing of their opponents.

Grand Rapids Catholic Junior came next, and the Frosh easily whipped them. The following match was equally easy as they swamped the Muskegon Howell Business College.

Hope's first MIAA opponents were the Alma yearlings, who by a barrage of buckets in the second half, were beaten by a large margin. The Kazoo Frosh followed in the ill-fated foot-

steps of the Alma Frosh, and went down to defeat.

Later in the season, the Freshmen took on the Kazoo Frosh, and once again they were victorious.

The last game of the season was played on Alma's courts. This was a different story from Hope's first encounter, as they were tied at the end of the regular time, and had to play an extra period, during which they outscored Alma 9-2. This ended the regular season with Coach Hinga eagerly looking ahead for several of the frosh on the varsity next year.

Members of this year's squad are G. Dalman, P. Van Dort, G. Slager, L. Nienhuis, C. Van Liere, F. Rothi, W .

Anderson, J. Yeomans, J. Vanderbroek, J. Kleis, F. Baker, R. Hamm, J. Krum, C. Knooihuizen, and D. Fris.

Baseball The baseball team this year began a successful season. It was built around returning veterans and also several brilliant p r o s p e c t s whom Coach Schouten discovered to fill the vacant spots. Most of the new men are freshmen, who are allowed to play as there is no baseball in the M.I.A.A. As this is written, two games have been played. After losing the first to Grand Rapids J. C , 2-1, on several costly misplays, the squad came back strong to take Muskegon J. C. 9-6 in a slugfest.

Returning veterans are Zoet, Van Strien, Morrison, Ensing, Reus, Fylstra, Hempstead, and Vandenberg, junior sensation from the minor leagues. These men, strengthened by Colenbrander, Baas, Otteman, Anderson, Spencer, Van Liere, Whitworth, Valusek, present a formidable line147

Varsity Tennis Bern Arendshorst took over the tennis team this year, and workouts were started early in the gym. During the winter he talked with Doc Stowe of Kalamazoo, and with Bob Hoek, sophomore sensation from Grand Haven, and planned a Southern trip. At this news, some fifteen aspirants turned out for the first practices, and went through conditioning exercises for two weeks.

During the high school basketball tournaments in March, thanks to Mac's promise of the concession, and a gift of fifteen cases of 7-up (fresh up with 7-up) from Phil Brooks, some forty dollars was raised.

Five players made the trip south, driven by coach Bernard "Mike" Arendshorst. Frank Zweering, Bob Vegter, Bill

Tappan, Bob Hoek and Howard Hoekje were the five who made the trip. A winning margin was held, as they won two and lost one match. Four matches were scheduled, but the one with University of South Carolina had to be cancelled on account of rain. They won over Catawba College, 4-3, and Tennessee State Teacher's College, 6-1, but lost to the powerful Presbyterian College team 7-0. At each college, Bern presented a pair of wooden shoes as a remembrance. Without exception they were invited back for next year.

Back home with a tan and a Southern accent, they prepared to practice hard for the conference matches. At this early date, none have been played, but we still go out on the limb and predict a second place in the M.I.A.A. standings for Hope's Dutchmen. no

Interfraternity Sports Under a broadened interfraternity program this year, the four fraternities entered into competition with great interest.

Last year's winners of the basketball trophy, the Praters, came back this year with much the same team, and riding high on the crest of the wave went confidently on until their ears were pinned back by a fighting Cosmo team â&#x20AC;&#x201D; twice â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to take the crown.

Football fans were impressed with next year's prospects as the last game turned into a first class brawl. Final score: 26-21.

An innovation this year was interfraternity bowling. Inaugurated by Jack Schouten, and highly popular with the boys, it was a great success.

The Fraternal team led the league with the Cosmos close behind in second.

The Emmies were third.

Another feature that was started this year was interfraternity softball. The games are played on Monday evenings on he athletic field. At the time of this writing the Cosmos and Emmies have each won one game, but the final standings may well be different, as the Fraternals and Independents also have strong teams.

Winners of the 1941 Interfraternity Track Meet were the wingfoots of the Emersonian Society, taking the meet by a comfortable margin, the final score adding up to 73 for the Emersomans, 60 for the Fraters, 14 to the Cosmos, and 8 to the Independents.
