THE

HIGH

IDEALS

OUR

COLLEGE

As this M I L E S T O N E goes to press, the old Oggel House on the corner of Columbia Avenue and Tenth Street is in the process of being torn down. W h e n this landmark is gone, Van Vleck Hall will be the last reminder of the original H o p e College which was founded by Dr. A. C. Van Raalte, leader of the Holland colony, in 1861. But no, one thing more stands. It is the noble idealism which was in the mind of the old patriarch as he labored indefatiguably for the realization of his dream. Dr. Van Raalte believed firmly in higher education.

But also he saw clearly what many

educators are just beginning to realize today. H e saw that formal learning without a goal is an empty shell, that acquired knowledge is meaningless until it has a center or focal point from which to take its meaning, and that the highest center is God. The consequence of this prophetic vision was the establishment of a Christian college. Today H o p e College still clings to Dr. V a n Raalte's vision. The cross on the towering spires of the Memorial Chapel symbolizes her steadfastness in the faith. Her purpose of sending out into the world Christian leaders in every field of endeavor remains unchanged. T h e r e f o r e in this sobering year of international strife, when all motives are silhouetted clearly against a background of imminent peril, we, the class of nineteen forty-three dedicate the 1942 M I L E S T O N E to the Christian ideals of our college.

OVER

W Y N A N D WICHERS

D r . Wichers has long been associated with H o p e College. He was a student on this campus, and holds an A.B. f r o m Hope, and A.M. f r o m the University of Michigan, and a Litt.D. f r o m Rutgers University. H e is a Knight of the Order of O r a n g e Nassau, a distinction conferred by the Queen of the Netherlands. H e taught history on the campus for many years, went into business for a time, and was then called back to the college to serve as its president, in 1931. U n d e r Dr. Wichers, the college has expanded in many directions. It has achieved a position on the fully approved list of the American Association of Universities,

the

highest

accrediting

distinction

awarded colleges and universities. Only two other liberal arts colleges in the state enjoy that rating. T h e college has added the business administration department and a personnel service. T h e library staff has been enlarged, and the facilities of the library greatly improved. D u r i n g a period when many small colleges were forced to close, Hope College has maintained its financial status largely through Dr. Wichers' efforts. N e x t fall will see the ultimate materialization of another of his dreams for the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a separate building to house the science department of which the school is so proud. T h e new science building has been completed, and will be equipped by next fall when it will be opened for use.

IN:

T H O M A S E. W E L M E R S . . . W h o is registrar of the college. Professor Welmers is a graduate of H o p e College and Princeton Theological Seminary. Besides his duties as Registrar he holds the Voorhees chair in Greek and teaches Calvinism. Each year, on Thanksgiving Day, all members of his classes w h o cannot go home f o r the recess are invited to his house where they enjoy a lavish meal. A m o n g his many accomplishments is playing the organ. As a reminder of the days when he played for a G r a n d Rapids church (Reformed, of course) he may frequently be heard h u m m i n g "Power In T h e Blood" while going about his duties.

P A U L J. B R O U W E R . . . W h o is Assistant to the President and Personnel Agent of H o p e College, and knows almost every student personally. Mr. Brouwer holds an A.B. f r o m H o p e and an A.M. f r o m N o r t h w e s t e r n University. He was given a leave of absence during the first semester in order to do special work at Chicago University. T h e enormous popularity of his freshman English composition class may be due partly to the fact that his business trips o f t e n give the students a short vacation. Many students visit his office for personal advice. He has as much to do as anyone on the campus, and does it.

MILDRED SCHUPPERT . . . W h o is Secretary to the President. Miss Schuppert is also a graduate of H o p e College. She is organist at the Central Park Reformed Church and secretary to the H o p e Alumni Association. Students find her sympathetic and understanding in making arrangements f o r tuition fees. For that reason, many wish that she handled chapel absences. In her official capacity as N o t a r y Public, she was called u p o n this year to notarize a contract among five students. By the terms of said contract, the first four students to marry must pay the last fugitive f r o m a mother-in-law five dollars.

ELIZABETH LICHTY . . . W h o is Dean of W o m e n . Miss Lichty has an A.B. f r o m Lake Forest College and an A.M. and Ph.D. f r o m the University of Wisconsin. An instructor in French, she is co-sponsor of the French club. Hers is the thankless task of keeping order in a dormitory filled with upwards of eighty coeds. Male students w h o envy her position should remember the trouble that just one girl can cause, and multiply by 80. T h e job doesn't look so attractive now, does it fellows? H e r capability is indicated by" the fact that she is a past president of the Michigan Association of Deans of W o m e n and Counsellors of Girls.

B O A R D O F TRUSTEES According to the by-laws of H o p e College, the Board of Trustees shall meet twice each year—on the last W e d n e s d a y in April, and again on the Tuesday preceding commencement in June. T h i s year the accelerated p r o g r a m put commencement two weeks ahead of its usual date. T h a t fact, coupled with transportation difficulties, influenced the board to waive the April meeting. Because the board did not meet until June, T H E M I L E S T O N E was unable to have a picture taken in time f o r publication. T h e picture used here was taken last year. Since then there have been some changes in personnel. T h e terms of the f o l l o w i n g have e x p i r e d : Mr. H. W i n t e r , Mr. T . Hager, Rev. N . Cloo, Rev. G. H a n k a m p , Rev. J. V a n d e r Schaaf, M r . J. Kolyn, Mr. M. Den H e r d e r , Rev. J. Prins, M r . H . Friesema, and Rev. A. De Y o u n g . M r . Hager, M r . Kolyn, M r . Den Herder, Rev. Prins, Mr. Friesema, and Rev. D e Y o u n g have been reelected. N e w l y elected are Miss J. M. H o p e m a n , Rev. P. K o o p m a n , and Rev. A. V a n Bronkhorst. This g r o u p has two principle aims; to provide students with the best possible instruction; and to effect a Christian influence u p o n them which they

will carry t h r o u g h o u t life, and which will carry them t h r o u g h life. T h e board, t h o u g h in no way adherent to the beliefs of M a r y Baker Eddy, has long been proud of the Christian scientists H o p e College produces. This September the science department will move out of V a n Raalte H a l l — b a d l y lacking in adequate laboratory space—and into the new Science Building, taking along the fumes which have l o n g assailed the aesthetic nostrils of the English department. T h e new building will be fit quarters f o r the science department which is well k n o w n over the country. This building is the culmination of a great deal of effort on the part of the trustees w h o may be justly proud of their success. T h e board works with the student in mind. It does its best to make available to him first-rate instruction in all fields, and t h r o u g h its efforts the curriculum shows steady improvement f r o m year to year. Evidence of the board's success along this line is seen in the academic standing of the school—fully accredited by the N o r t h Central Association of Schools and Colleges, by the University of Michigan, and by the Association of American universities.

WE M O U R N THE LOSS OF A FELLOW STUDENT.

O n Saturday evening, February 21, Lawrence Kolean, freshman, was fatally injured in an automobile accident. At the age of nineteen, he was denied the years for which he was then preparing. Lawrence was born in H o l l a n d on May 12, 1922. H e was graduated f r o m Holland H i g h School in 1940. A f t e r one year, he entered the college in the fall of 1941. His life stretched out ahead of him, giving all the promise that every life gives. He was one of a world-wide g r o u p u n d e r g o i n g training preparatory to making its individual contributions to the world.

Lawrence Kolean was a quiet boy. His professors noticed a cooperative spirit and sincere nature. All w h o knew him liked him, because he was one w h o instinctively inspired a confidence in his good faith. T h a t is a quality too few possess.

W e don't know why, after only 19 years, a period of some fifty or sixty years was taken f r o m him. But we do know there is a good reason he was made, on February 21, to open his eyes on a new w o r l d â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a world which, for some reason, needed him more than this one.

W E SALUTE O U R MEN I N N A T I O N A L SERVICE.

W i t h o u t doubt, the single factor which, more than any other, affected the campus this year, was the war and the d r a f t . At the beginning of the year, the summer's toil taken by the d r a f t was evident; but a f t e r Pearl H a r b o r the n u m b e r being called to the armed forces rose markedly. Lacking definite statistics, the college office estimates conservatively that there has been at least a ten per cent d r o p in enrollment since school began in September. T h e d r o p in enrollment is only one effect of military training u p o n the school. In order to allow students just out of high school to complete their college course before entering the service, H o p e has adopted an accelerated p r o g r a m which will enable a student to get a normal f o u r years' load in three years. T h i s accelerated p r o g r a m is optional with the student. T h e machinery of the accelerated course is not complicated. Average students taking it carry

two or three hours over the n o r m a l load each semester, and can take additional work, u p to eight semester hours, d u r i n g the summer. D u r i n g the summer session, a g r o u n d course in civilian pilot training will be offered. T h e effect of the w a r on student life has been very marked. Fraternity and Sorority parties remain, but have been drastically cut in order that H o p e College may cooperate in the national effort t o w a r d economy. W h i l e the campus retains its traditional vitality, there is, underneath, a more serious tone caused by the realization that we all have a job to do. . . . T h e picture on this page shows " W h i t e y " Riemersma, formerly of the class of '43, g o i n g t h r o u g h advanced combat training. All students will ultimately participate in some wayâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;some at home, some away f r o m home. They are anxious to do so.

T h e graduation of a class is invariably accompanied by regretâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;both on the part of those w h o go and those w h o see them go. T h a t is as it should be. A college whose seniors experience no nostalgia at graduation must be failing utterly in its duty outside the curriculum. But the college is the student. If the college fails it is because the student has failed. If the college has succeeded, it is because the student has given to it unstintingly of his time, talent, and devotion. T h e graduation of a class which has given itself to the school should be an occasion f o r joy, f o r it is the evidence of an addition to the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; an addition which will become part of the school and of the student w h o is the school. Such a class is the class of '42. Athletes had a high record in sportsmanship and. ability. T h r e e men were placed on all-conference teams: Bill T a p p a n , J o h n Visser, Marty Bekken. In

all sports it had representatives in the f r o n t rank. Forensically the class has been outstanding. It claims N o l a Nies, state runner-up and national Pi Kappa Delta champion in oratory; Jeanette Rylaarsdam, state extempore champion; G o r d o n Girod, w h o heartily agrees with Prof. Schrier's title for him "Star of the debate squad," national Pi Kappa Delta extempore r u n n e r - u p ; J o h n Hains, Provincial Pi Kappa Delta oratory w i n n e r ; Blase Levai, state peace oration w i n n e r ; and three members of the state championship debate team. There were four students with a scholastic average above 2.9. It is impossible to list all w h o have contributed to the class' success. T h e r e are musicians. W h o ' s W h o members. Blue Key,' Alcor, and many others. T h e school is richer for their stay, and will watch their future progress with pride.

W h e n the class of '43 took its freshman entrance exams three years ago, its potentialities at once became evident. T h e average grade of each exam was much higher than usual, and far above the national average. Since then, the Junior class has acquired the dubious distinction of being the smallest in the school; but, as the above indicates, what it lacks in quantity it makes u p in quality. T h e class is characterized by an encouraging progressive attitude which upon occasion assumes startling proportions. T w o science students, impatient to move into the new science building, have tried five times to burn d o w n Van Raalte Hall. These attempts occurred in the chemistry lab. O n one occasion, one of them had flames leaping to the ceiling. His plan was foiled when a student trained a firei extinguisher on the blaze. By p u m p i n g the empty extinguisher furiously, the student was able to blow

out the fire with the stream of air thus emitted. As one would expect, the Juniors, handicapped by lack of numbers, have fewer participants in most fields than the other classes. But its members, though few, are standouts. This year's state oratory champ i o n ; a debate team beaten only once in eleven debates over two years at the Manchester debate tourney-â&#x20AC;&#x201D;biggest in the nation; two all-conference athletes; some of the school's best vocalists, scholars and workersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all belong to this class. This is the class that will lead the college next year. It has a splendid quality of leadership which will give the rest of the school an opportunity to develop its capabilities. T h e Juniors' duty will be to give the kind of leadership next year which will prepare the following class to take its place. In this we are already sure of its success.

SOPHOMORE RANKS T H I N N E D OUT THIS YEAR.

President Vice President Secretary Co-treasurers

A lot of water has gone over the present Sophomores since they entered H o p e College in 1940. As Freshmen they were pulled t h r o u g h Black River by the Sophomores, and as Sophs they were given a return trip by the Frosh. As upperclassmen they will find their aquatic experiences of little value, since H o p e lacks a swimming team. Hence they will turn their activities elsewhere. W h a t the Sophomores lacked in brawn they made u p in other fields. Their Nykerk Cup standing is just opposite that of the pull team. They won both as Frosh and as Sophs. T h e record they take with them into their third year balances itself; and the school, as always, waits with interest the contributions its new upperclassmen will make. T h e Sophomores will have abundant o p p o r t u n i t y , to prove their talents in the coming years. It will be u p to them to maintain Hope's outstanding record

in forensics, athletics, and scholarship. There is every indication that they will be able to do this in athletics. They already boast an all-conference basketball man as well as a good number of varsity basketball and football men. In track and tennis, too, they are well represented. In forensics they have yet to be proven, though there is promising materialâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;especially in women's debate. T h e next two years will show better where their scholars are. Their activity in music is very encouraging. T h e Sophomores stand a united class. They have been purged of their inexperience (twice, and somewhat unwillingly) by the murky waters of the Black River, with the hearty cooperation of the present Juniors and Frosh. H o p e College knows they will do their best to maintain its name, and is confident that their best will make it proud of them.

FRESHMEN W E R E N U M E R O U S A N D VERSATILE.

OFEICERS President Vice President Secretary Treasurer

T h e class of '45 descended in a swarm u p o n the campus of H o p e College in September, almost two h u n d r e d strong. D o n M u l d e r became the first to lose his self-respect in the Frosh-Soph games. H e shinned half-way u p the greased pole, w h e n he suddenly stopped and descended in pursuit of his pants which had preceded him d o w n . T h e f o l l o w i n g day the Freshmen avenged themselves by defeating the S o p h o m o r e swimming team in the annual pull. Gabby V a n Dis captained the Frosh. T h i s year the college was allowed to use Freshmen as varsity athletes. Athletics proved to be a very strong point with the Frosh. T h e y have men in all sports, with the possible exception of golf. T h e football, basketball, track, and tennis teams all have a good share of first year men, and the prospects they give us f o r the coming years are extremely bright. Besides athletic talent, the Frosh are strong in

Dick H i g g s Merle Vanden Berg Shirley Rutgers Russ D e Vette

vocal music. T h e y claim many of the campus song birds, and have provided much chapel music. As usual, the Frosh w e n t t h r o u g h the traditional conditioning period. They were welcomed enthusiastically by fraternity men w h o showed them around the houses by day and warmed u p p a d d l i n g arms by night. A f t e r rushing and p l e d g i n g were over, a period of some time was devoted to vigorously massaging the Freshmen at the posterior termination of the spinal column. T h e week of Freshman punishments came. Gerald ( T h e Beautiful) Karel stole the show with vocal solos f r o m the fire escape of V a n Raalte Hall, while many of his classmates walked a r o u n d below wearing signs of varying implications. T h e Freshman record has been a good one this year. T h e y have proved themselves the kind of class which makes H o p e College respected.

T h e first social duty the Council took up in September was putting the freshmen in their proper social class. T h e n on the very first day of October the f r o s h began to show their true color by d o n n i n g the traditional green. And although they pulled the sophs t h r o u g h the river, it was "hats off" to the class of '44 when they w o n the N y k e r k cup contest for the second year in succession. N e x t of importance on the social calendar was Homecoming. W e greeted old friends w h o have graduated and thoroughly enjoyed a talk by D r . Lester Kuiper. T h e n came Dutch Treat W e e k . W e almost had a date bureau, but did not since we realized H o p e coeds could take advantage of their opportunities without any help of a bureau. (P.S. They d i d ! ) By giving the Commons Council an allowance f r o m our treasury we incited a little more social progress on our campus. Those Saturday nights in the Commons room and the gym were lots of f u n and we are all f o r them. Remember that toboggan party we all anticipated so much?

dear friend ( n o friend of ours!) so we a d j o u r n e d to the Commons room. Student Council also got our college defense program under way, but soon realized that it was a responsibility for a separate council. However, we did carry on our defense forums which proved very successful, and later interspersed health lectures with the forums. T h e n came May Day and Student Council again lent a willing hand, as we drew to the end of a busy, happy, and considerably shortened school year. A l t h o u g h it has been a busy year with our many responsibilities we have enjoyed our work. It has been pleasant to serve as a mediary between faculty and students and to relieve the former of many of its duties. Altogether the Student Council plays a most important part in student life on the campus, even though students are not always aware of its activity. Members are chosen one f r o m each society and a boy and girl representative f r o m the freshman class. T h e president is elected by the student body in one of the most exciting campaigns and elections of the year.

U n d e r the capable leadership of Doris V a n d e r Borgh a n o t h e r successful year filled with social activities has d r a w n to a close. T o start the year off, clever booklets, with defense as their theme, were distributed, a n n o u n c i n g all the events of the year. D u r i n g that first busy week, the Orientation Tea proved a big success to help ""frosh" and new girls get acquainted with the old girls.

" S o m e t h i n g new has been a d d e d " . . . keeping u p with the times, members of the faculty and student

body are publishing a "social code" offering tips f o r life on and off the campus. A n d on the domestic side . . . the main project of the year featured a r e t u r n trip of D r . Block w h o spent two days on our campus, one devoted to lectures and the other to personal conferences. Miss M a r i a n Blood of G r a n d Rapids gave a very interesting talk on " T h e Romance of Furniture." A n d in spring we had May Day which is one of the most i m p o r t a n t events sponsored by W . A. L. T h i s year it was a bigger success t h a n ever because of the democracy employed in the selection of the Queen and her court. Every student and faculty member h a d a voice in the selection. A f t e r a year filled to overflowing with social activities, everything closed w i t h the All-College Sing. A n d so another chapter in W . A. L.'s book has ended. All college w o m e n are members of the W o m e n ' s Activities League.

Miss Elizabeth Lichty is the faculty adviser w h o very graciously guides a n d counsels us t h r o u g h o u t the year.

ALL COLLEGE F U N C T I O N S GAVE F U N T O ALL.

First of the Student Council sponsored social activities was the All-College Mixer which was held to celebrate the donning of the green by all freshmen. Besides yells and music by the college band, each class put on a skit. Juniors Frank Lepori and Clarence Vander Velde, heads swathed in towel turbans, put on a "Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Shean" act. Betty Daugherty reversed the ordinary procedure by helping Art Timmer with his coat after asking him to go downtown with her for a coke. The occasion was Dutch Treat W e e k , annual girl-dates-boy affair. Dutch Treat W e e k was climaxed by a roller skating party. This was a popular form for All-College affairs, for the joint "Y's" sponsored one the first week of school and W . A. L. put on a Hobo skating party late in March.

On the program of the W . A. L. H o b o party was a novelty octette, "Seven Hits and a Miss." Also featured were a fortune teller, a silhouette booth, and such games as pingpong and shuffleboard. One of the informal hits of the social season was an ANCHOR-sponsored all-college hay-ride party. T w o racks were loaded to overflowing. The affair ended with lunch at Anchor Inn. Late each year comes the college election at which the students name the president for Student Council and two associate editors for the A N C H O R for the following year. The picture above was taken at one of the voting places in the basement of the chapel during last year's election, when Bill Tappan was made Student Council president.

DORM

L I F E IS A N

E D U C A T I O N IN LIVING.

Living together in dormitories teaches students toleration and understanding of other people's problems. It also makes them realize the frequent necessity of submitting one's own immediate desires to the g o o d of the group. In Voorhees Hall freshmen girls are started on their education in living with initiation by dorm sophomores. They are pulled out of bed late at night, forced to pledge and demonstrate their subordination, and finally sent d o w n the circular fire escape chute to the dorm court. The first picture

above shows Marie Jenkins coming out of the chute, with a jacket over her pajamas and shoes in her hand, to be received by Sophomore N o r m a Lemmer. Other pictures show one of the ever-busy phone booths in Voorhees; a dating scene at "Voorhees Junior," officially known as the A n n e x ; a birthday spread in the room of Barbara Folensbee and Jean Horton; and a peacetime and wartime scene in Van Vleck, men's dormitory.

Three years ago, a drive f o r f u n d s among the college societies, Blue Key, ladies' aid societies and the churches of Holland netted a sum of money for the purpose of remodeling a room on the second floor of the education building into the attractive recreation hall which has become a popular meeting spot for H o p e fellows and coeds. N o w the words "Let's go u p to the Commons Room and bat out a set of p i n g - p o n g " have become common ones a m o n g students on the campus. Other students enjoy the Commons R o o m radio; others, the magazines and games; while still others come just to chat. Every day this pleasant recreation room is open to all those w h o wish to avail themselves of its facilities. In the evening various organizations hold their meetings here. T h e Student Council has discovered that upholstered maple davenports and chairs, and colorful draperies make a more pleasant atmosphere than that of chapel classrooms for its meetings. T h e Thesaurian Literary Society holds its weekly meetings here. ""Le Cercle Francais," ""Der Deutsche Verein," English M a j o r s Club, Philosophy Club, and Alpha Chi assemble in the Commons. This room has proved itself well-adapted to Commons Council, Palette and Masque, society alumnae and joint meetings, and to the new class in first aid.

This spring the Commons Council again sponsored a ping-pong tournament, consisting of women's singles, men's singles, and mixed doubles contests. A new feature this year was the opening of the Commons Room, together with the gymnasium, f o r Saturday fun-nights. Many students enjoyed the opportunity to become better acquainted with each other and with the faculty and just to have fun.

F R A T E R N I T I E S ARE SOCIAL A N D

LITERARY.

flPl i fl .t V

T h e first t w o weeks of a new man's stay on the campus are comparabfe to some peopfe's idea of paradise. Dates are arranged for h i m ; he is dined free; interesting literary meetings and all sorts of entertainment are provided; nothing costs him a penny. It seems as though every upperclassman in the college has an open wallet and an open heart. Here we see Knickerbockers Krum and Van Eenenaam telling Freshman Ted Zwemer what a fine f e l l o w he is as they drive him to an evening of fun at the Allegan Fair.

N e x t comes informal initiation. This is an experience which is branded into the memory of every pledge. W h i l e it is true that all the treatments which he undergoes are harmless, the pledge feels that he is being brutally mishandled. The secret of this is deception; the new man is put in such fear that he magnifies his discomforts to tortures. The unidentified Emersonian pledge sitting disconsolate on the floor is finished with his initiation. He hasn't been hurt but he thinks he has.

All dreams come to an end sometime. The new man's bubble bursts after he has pledged a fraternity. Then he begins to pay for all kindnesses received: for his entertainment by being sold as a slave, for time spent on him by being paddled, and for being made to feel like a king bypledge restrictions and duties. The climax of his two weeks of misery begins with quest night. Cosmo Pledge Bustie Van Dyke is shown counting a few miles of railroad ties under the careful tutelage of Jim Baar.

The final step in the pledge's initiation is his formal acceptance by the fraternity as a full member. This is a solemn but colorful and highly ritualistic occasion. Here he is admitted to the secrets and all the privileges of the fraternity. But first he must make his pledge to take upon himself the full responsibility of membership. Fraternal pledges take their oath before the president and secretary, and before upperclassmen representing the ideals of Truth, Friendship, Love, and Hope. This year the ceremony took place in the parlors of H o p e Reformed Church.

COSMOPOLITANS WERE BASKETBALL LEADERS. All Hope Fraternities began as literary societies. Through the years as these groups have evolved and integrated, they have never lost sight of their primary character; today the Thursday and Friday night literary meetings are still the center of the life of the fraternity as a whole. The programs give members a chance to reveal their talents and express their views before an appreciative audience. From the standpoint of the listener, there are discussions on a wide range of topics by men from all over the United States, looking forward to a large variety of careers. In the picture at the left, Cosmo George Dykstra is delivering a paper entitled "The Crisis of Man Power" to his fraternity brothers.

T h e Cosmopolitan men have written their fifty-second chapter. For half a century the green and white flag of Friendship, T r u t h , and Progress, has waved high over the Cosmopolitan portals, never giving way to foreign colors. T h e pages of this exciting chapter tell the story of sixty-two men w h o have been trained socially, intellectually, and morally. R o u g h stones u p o n the huge rock pile of college students are now the polished individuals that our land is calling for. T h e college, the community, the church, yes, the four corners of the earth call u p o n such men to be their leaders. T h e Cosmopolitan fraternity will bid farewell to twenty-one members w h o have experienced four years of Cosmopolitan care. Twenty-one members will leave our halls to become beacons in our great American society. U p o n graduation three of our boys will enter a seminary, six will enter the education field, four will go into the business world, two chemists will appear, two will enroll in medical schools, and one will enroll in a dental school. Of the remaining three, Cupid has claimed one, Elmer M o r g a n will enter the Marine's Officers T r a i n i n g School, and T h o m a s Slager has already left us to serve in the Army. Such an enormous array of talent has not left the Cosmopolitan fraternity in many years. Twenty-six new members joined our ranks in September to be piloted by Presidents Kenneth V a n d e n

Berg, J o h n Visser, and James Barr, three of our Blue Key men. August Van Eerden, Robert Emmick, and J o h n Hietbrink provided us with our programs; and D ona ld De Fouw, Clinton Harrison, and Daniel Fylstra handled the duties of the scribe. O u t s t a n d i n g in the list of activities this year included a W i n t e r party at the W a r m Friend Tavern and joint meetings with the Delphi Society and the Fraternal Society. T h e last of the social affairs centered around a formal Spring party at the Holland Country Club. In the athletic sphere Cosmopolitans have placed eight regular men on our football and baseball squads. Intellectually Cosmos is proud of her four honor roll members, five Blue Key men, and three representatives in the Collegiate W h o ' s W h o . T h u s ends our fifty-second chapter. Phi Kappa Alpha will continue to create cosmopolitan men.

E M E R S O N I A N IS A L A R G E , E R I E N D L Y G R O U P .

Today H o p e fraternities are not only literary societies but also places where men live together. In the establishment which they fondly call "The House" they study, play, sleep, and—as the picture of the Emersonian Grille demonstrates—eat together as a big family of brothers. Although none of the fraternities has all of its members living under the same roof, each brother considers "The House" to be his second home. The local men and those rooming in private homes and dormitories are as much a part of the social group as those living within the fraternity itself. The Emersonian Grille seats thirty-two men. Besides these it employs a House Mother, a Grille Manager, and a crew of ten student waiters. The latter earn their board by their work.

T h e spirit of Emersonian, synonymous with the spirit of that great statesman and literarian f o r w h o m our fraternity is named, symbolizing L O V E , H O N O R , and SUCCESS, lives in the social, school, and business world. T h e determination f o r success — but coupled only with Love and H o n o r — i s the soul of the M a r o o n and W h i t e . For the first time in the history of our organization the d r u m beat of w a r has rallied men to the nation's need. T h e dictionary definition of the word organization states that it is a g r o u p of individuals systematically united to p r o m o t e a set of principles or ideas. T o d a y this is the primary purpose of the Fraternity in action. M e n of Emerson are pledged to protect the f r e e d o m of those ideals for which our fraternity and democracy stand.

Looking after the intellectual, social, and cultural needs of its membership. Phi T a u N u has fostered a lofty level of academic achievement, b r o a d e n i n g literary meetings, and harmonious social functions. Fond memories will linger of that dazzling winter formal, a series of best girl dinners, bull sessions w i t h D r . J o h n V a n Ess, successful joint meetings, and that rollicking spring party barn dance.

A successful rushing season was the f o r e r u n n e r of a progressive year f o r the youngest of H o p e ' s f o u r fraternities. U n d e r the guidance of President J o h n Hains, Vice President Blase Levai, and Elwin Muilenburg, secretary, the new members were "successf u l l y " initiated and orientated into the full meaning of fraternity life. T h e activities of the fall season were gloriously terminated with a first prize in house decorations f o r H o m e c o m i n g and the annual winter formal. T a k i n g over the gavel A r t h u r Wicks presided over an eventful winter term of outstanding literary ses-

FRATERNALS SCORED A G A I N IN THE FROLICS. H o p e fraternity members work together on a large number of projects. The most widely recognized fraternity activity during the past two years has been the variety show, Frater Frolics, of which the cast is shown here. The show, which was written by Fraternal Sophomores George Lumsden and John Vander Broek, included a male chorus, a troupe of "chorus girls," black-face acts, and gag sequences. Highlights of the performance were the witticisms of the playing authors and such vocal duets by Everett Kleinjans and Donald Lievense as ""Behind the Swinging Door," "I Took a Peach to the Beach," and "I Picked a Lemon in the Garden of Love." The Frolics was given March 12, 13, and 14 and played all three nights to capacity crowds in the Woman's Literary Club.

Little did D r . Phillip Phelps, w h o f o u n d e d the Fraternal Society, realize when he established the Omicron K a p p a Epsilon organization back in 1834, that our nation was to experience and ultimately t r i u m p h t h r o u g h three devastating wars. Today we are engaged in a more tremendous task than ever before. Fraternal is old in years and rich in traditions of loyalty and service, and we are proud to be working hand in hand with our government in burying forever the ax of tyranny. Circumstances have nevertheless shown no ill effects on the social success of our fraternity and Fraternal continues soaring to greater heights. In the year '4l-'42 Fraternal placed men on the football, basketball, baseball, golf and tennis teams. W i l l i a m T a p p a n , All-M. I. A. A. center, captained the football squad t h r o u g h a successful season and Frater Martin Bekken was also elected to a position on the All-M. I. A. A. football eleven. Frater W i l l i a m H a k k e n was awarded, f o r the second consecutive year, the Randall Bosch trophy for the player displaying the best sportsmanship. Fraternal is equally proud of George D a l m a n and Everett Kleinjans w h o were both chosen members of the AllM. I. A. A. basketball team. A f t e r a lapse of one year another interfraternity basketball trophy graces the trophy case of O. K. E. Academically, Fraternal boasts of its five members of the Blue Key H o n o r Fraternity窶認raters Bekken,

Tappan, Baas, H o e k j e and Vanderhill. W e are also proud that William T a p p a n held the important position of Student Council president and added distinction to Fraternal and himself by achieving the honor of being valedictorian of the senior class. Richard Higgs, president of the freshman class, is also a Frater. Aside f r o m these achievements Fraternal also distinguished itself by presenting their second annual "Frater Frolics," a variety show which not only proved to be an hilarious and highly financial success but which also did much to prove the versatility of its members. T h e gallant leaders w h o capably piloted Fraternal t h r o u g h three terms of fame and fortune were Fraters Van Omen, Bekken, and Vanderhill. Social highlights of the year were the joint meeting with our Sorosis sisters and the annual spring party.

K N I C K E R B O C K E R IS SMALL B U T C L O S E - K N I T . N o t least in the experience of a H o p e fraternity man are the "bull sessions" which are integral in his daily life. After lunch or dinner, after literary meetings, after closing hours at the girls' dormitories, fraternity brothers may group together; spontaneously the "bull session" is begun. It is here that members learn to know one another most intimately. For to these discussions the men bring their personal problems in order to gain advice. Here too personal experiences are exchanged; sometimes an especially lively session will take on the character of a confessional. A v i e w into the complete informality of the "bull session" is afforded by the picture of these Knickerbockers gathered around the fraternity radio.

For the past thirty-three years, Knickerbocker has held high its triangle of "Social, Moral, and Intellectual," and the year of '41'42 was no exception. T o have been a member of K. H . N . was a thrilling, u n f o r g e t t a b l e experience f o r fraternity members, alumni, and associates. T o add to the pleasure of fraternizing with fellow Knicks, there were exciting inter-fraternity sports, "bull-sessions" and highly entertaining and educational meetings. Knickerbocker has had the pleasure of being entertained on several occasions by its gracious and h e l p f u l M o t h e r s Club. T h e fall term f o u n d Lester Lampen in the seat of h o n o r being ably assisted by Paul V a n Eenenaam as vice president and with G r a d u s Shoemaker doing the recording. This term proved to be a very busy one -â&#x20AC;&#x201D;rushing, paddling, and formal initiation all following in rapid succession. T h e next thing of import was H o m e c o m i n g when K. H . N . carried off second honors in house decorations under the decorative ingenuity of Chairman Jack K r u m .

rooms d u r i n g the second week of February. T h e guests, n u m b e r i n g over f o u r h u n d r e d , were escorted t h r o u g h the various rooms and also were served a lunch by the Knick M o t h e r s Club. T h e spring term election b r o u g h t Robert Spaulding in the key position allied with Jack K r u m , vice president, and A1 Leenhouts, secretary. Social activities in this term began with a pleasant and enjoyable meeting with the Knicks' sister society. Sibylline, at the Knickerbocker club rooms. T h e n followed a riding party staged at Evergreen Stables, f e a t u r i n g "lots of f u n , " an enjoyable roast at the beach, and sore "south-ends" the next m o r n i n g . H i g h l i g h t i n g the spring social season K. H . N . gave an i n f o r m a l dinner party f o r its local alumni at the Dutch Mill restaurant to top off and complete the year.

rv n r -

Time marched on and the second term f o u n d Randall Decker at the helm. Robert Spaulding and J o h n Slagter were vice president and secretary respectively. It was d u r i n g this term that the fraternity decided to move its location to one which was more advantageous. T h e third floor of the T e m p l e building was decided as the proper place, and the Knicks held their formal o p e n i n g of the new club

SORORITIES

CEMENT

Sorority rushing is a slower and more formal process than that of fraternities.

It is carried on under the super-

vision of the Pan-Hellenic council which plans programs to provide each new girl a chance to become acquainted with all the girls of the sororities. the Round Robin Tea.

Such an event this year was

Each society presented a program

which was repeated for four groups of freshmen. Tea was served to the last group in the manner shown above, where Betty Mulder and Carleen Stroop are being entertained by Dorians Oppeneer and Rosendahl.

Sorority informal initiations are planned around clever themes. For example. Sibylline freshmen this year came dressed as various vegetables, representing ingredients in the "Sib Stew." Dorian pledges portrayed articles on the "Cosmetic Counter." N e w Sorosites were forced to eat "Humble Pie" in their initiation, at which the above picture was taken. Janet Bogart is seen purring like a nice kitty, for Helen Mae Heasley, initiation chairman, while Jean Shiffner, dressed as a die, awaits her turn to be examined and cross-examined by upperclass Sorosites.

GREAT

FRIENDSHIPS.

After four weeks of school the new girls are sent bids and those w h o pledge are accepted on a tentative basis. They do not become full members until the end of the first semester when they have proved their scholastic ability. Then they go through initiation to complete participation. The first step in their initiation is being sold as slaves to the older members. This is intended to impress upon them their inferiority and subordination to upperclassmen. Sibylline Simon Legree Janet Arnold is auctioning off Millie Vander Linden to prospective taskmistresses.

Formals and formality mark the beautiful candle-lit final induction ceremonies of sororities. Delphians held theirs in the parlors of Third Reformed Church of Holland, with a number of prominent alumnae present. Senior members in black robes served as guard of honor while one by one the pledges were administered the oath and signed their names to the secretary's book. Arlyne Voorhorst is shown here taking her turn. After signing, the new girls lighted candles, were presented daffodil boutonnieres, and were welcomed as members by President Beth Marcus.

Firm belief in high ideals; strength of body, mind and p u r p o s e ; and beauty of character has carried us t h r o u g h to a glorious anniversary. For this year we celebrated our 20th birthday! W h a t a year this has been with Jeannette V a n Beek, our president, guiding us t h r o u g h the first semester. Mimi Moncada as vice president, Corinne Pool and M a r g e Borgman acting as secretary and treasurer, helped her. A n d now it's time to sing "Auf W i e d e r s e h e n " to our seniors. As they leave they'll take with them memories which will keep D o r i a n ever close to their hearts—memories of the autumn slumber party, that hilarious event which launched " T h e D o r i a n " into a sea of activity . . . the R o u n d Robin Tea for the new girls—and w h a t a thrill when 14 new sailors joined our crew! Homecoming was our next p o r t ; the sophomores tried hard to sail the float to victory, and w h a t Joy to renew friendships with former mates at the alumni breakfast at Anchor Inn. D o you remember " D o g p a t c h D o i n ' s " and how Li'l Abner and Daisy Mae had their first experience in • an Eatin' House at our winter f o r m a l ? O u r ship had been turned over to D o r o t h y Renzema and Judy

Schermerhorn. Nancy Safford became secretary and Carol Bos was treasurer. At the informal initiation the freshmen certainly did their best to resemble articles f o u n d on a cosmetic counter . . . formal initiation with its beautiful ceremony made a lasting impression on the memories of all of us. Once again we changed presidents and Louise Essenberg took over the wheel. Ruthie N e w n h a m was vice president, Mary Van Dyke acted as secretary and Melba Dings was treasurer. Joint meetings, teas, pot-lucks, beach parties and snappy programs all helped to make this truly an anniversary year. T h e spring party, the all-college sing, the alumni meeting and our birthday party were the last stops, and then "smooth sailing" to Jeannette, Louise, Dorothy, Bernice, Arlene and Ruthea. And so all these events, these ports, will keep " T h e Dorian's" voyage in every senior's book of memories.

" H a i l to Sorosis, queen of girlish lives," sings the close-knit circle of sparkling-eyed, c h e r r y - l i p p e d girls as at the end of another eventful college year, they part in the spirit of true friendship that is the essence of Sigma Sigma. Gay memories of happy times, bright pictures of their busy days, flash t h r o u g h the minds of the singers as they smilingly nod across at lasting friends. Another school year has ended . . . war-clouded days of '41 and '42 accented by the stirring roll of drums, grim blackouts, bombs . . . but t h r o u g h it all no blackout of f u n f o r merry Sorosites.

A host of new girls on the campus—new talents to be developed—new enthusiasm to be loosed — and presto! a new society is born. Christened T h e s a u r i a n , the new society made her debut in the Commons room, choosing scarlet and gray f o r her colors and Theta G a m m a Pi as the Greek symbols of her ideals. At football games members appeared wearing red carnations, the official flower. Ably assisted by Marian V a n Zyl of Chicago, the society's first president, Thesaurian began her first journey. T h e road was a bit bumpy, but Vice President Adelaide Wandscheer of Sioux Center, Iowa, helped to smooth out the rough spots. Josephine Fitz, of Schenectady, N . Y., as secretary, recorded the early progress. Betty Jayne Smith of Amsterdam, N . Y., took care of the financial problems.

teas, clever programs, and delicious pot-lucks. Members also took time out to tune u p for the annual all-college sing. In April some of the g r o u p took another route to accompany the Girls' Glee Club to points east. Theta G a m m a Pi looks back on happy memories, but her true outlook is to the f u t u r e — t o the greeting of new Thesaurians and to bidding farewell to graduates t h r o u g h years to come. W i t h the ideals of her creed held ever high before her, she hopes to do her part in service to her Alma Mater and to her fellowstudents. T h r o u g h devotion to Christ and the church, loyalty to country, striving f o r high achievement, and the fostering of friendship binding her members together but extending also to all others, Thesaurian will go on to true service and glory.

Pleasant stops along the way included the formal winter theater party with all the thrills and frills, and the i n f o r m a l beach party in the spring. W o r k began early in the year for a float in the Homecoming parade, and a luncheon before the big game. There was a day when Thesaurian detoured via the Poppen farm to enjoy a sleigh ride. It was then that some of the out-of-state girls got their first sample of rural Michigan atmosphere. Stops were made for 77

S T U D Y OF T H E L I T E R A T U R E S OF T H E W O R L D . CLUB Parlez-vous en Francais, mes amis? N o n ? T h e n the Cercle Francais is no place f o r you; f o r there we talk in French tout le temps. T h e purpose of the Cercle Francais is to provide an o p p o r t u n i t y f o r students to use this language in a social way. Games are sometimes played, using geographical or literary names; thus members learn about France while having f u n at the same time. T h e Cercle was led this annee by Mademoiselle la presidente N o l a Nies. Assisting her were Peggy H a d d e n as vice-presidente, Emilia M o n c a d a as secretaire and J u d i t h Schermerhorn as tresoriere.

H i g h l i g h t s of the year included an interesting talk, tout en francais, by M a d a m e Tardiff. For another meeting we enjoyed a soiree de N o e l at the home of M a d a m e Prins, one of our advisers. T h e five actrices, Edith Klaaren, R u t h Stegenga, Bernice Oatmen, J u d i t h Schermerhorn and Betty Davis, of the class de conversation, and H o w a r d H o e k j e , presented the comedie, "Medicin M a l g r e Lui." T h e "piece" was u n d e r the direction of our doctor. Mademoiselle Lichty. T o top the year off right, the membres f o r g o t all cares f o r an evening of f u n at the Nies residence.

^ CLUB " W i e geht's mit dir F r e u n d ? Ach, das Deutsch tut mir w e b ; ich k a n n es n i c h t ! " But the G e r m a n students in D e r Deutsche Verein make a noble effort, and w h a t the G e r m a n conversation lacks in accuracy, it makes u p in enthusiasm. President N a n Boynton wields the gavel at the monthly meetings and the business is taken care of by Secretary Louise Essenburg and Treasurer June Baker. Meetings which begin with g r o u p singing of the rollicking old G e r m a n songs are planned by f a i t h f u l Vice President J o h n V a n Lierop. An illustrated talk on old Vienna, papers on Ger-

man composers and authors or on Americans in Germany, the music and poetry itself . . . these p r o g r a m s give members a sympathy and u n d e r s t a n d i n g of the G e r m a n s and the G e r m a n y that once was and will sometime be again. T h e outstanding event on the G e r m a n Club calendar was the Christmas party, where members satisfied their thirst f o r knowledge and f o r fruit punch, and were taught by Miss Boyd, the faculty adviser, to say " M e r r y Christmas" in good G e r m a n . Well-prepared literary meetings and hilarious parties marked this as a well-spent year f o r D e r Deutsche Verein.

ENGLISH M JORS CLUB T h e English M a j o r s Club enjoyed an unusually successful season under the capable leadership of R u t h Stegenga. Composed of juniors and seniors m a j o r i n g in English, the g r o u p profited f r o m varied and interesting programs dealing with phases of English literature and composition. Essays and verse by members were judged, lectures were enjoyed, professors were "quizzed," and recordings of Maurice Evans' interpretation of H a m l e t were heard. Meetings were magnified by the manifestations of our maximal M a j o r s Maestro, D r . James H. W a r n e r . O t h e r masterly moderators were J o h n Haines, vice president, and D o r o t h y Curtis, secretary-treasurer. All the meetings sparkled but several scintillated

with especial brightness. Mrs. E d w a r d D o n i v a n presented, in her o w n inimitable witty style, a bookreview describing the problems of A Yankee Bride hi Aloscow. Professor Valentine W e n d t of the University of Michigan reviewed for us the current Broadway productions. An " I n f o r m a t i o n Please" p r o g r a m was h e l d , with professors comprising a " b o a r d of experts." N e w officers were elected f r o m the junior ranks in April, and a beach party climaxed the year in May. Innovations including the inviting of the juniors to join us t h r o u g h o u t the year, and the serving of refreshments at meetings were added.

IY CLUB Do you , know anything about "Hydration of Aluminum Salts," "Cellulose and Its Derivatives," or "Optical Isomerism in Epinephrine Derivatives"? If not, and you are still interested please get in touch with any member of the Chemistry Club who will gladly attempt to clarify you on the unknown quantities of these modern test-tube topics which have been discussed by them at their regular meetings. This group of future professional chemists under the capable leadership of President Cornelius Pettinga. Vice President Robert Emmick, and Secretary Wallace Van Liere centrifuged this nineteenth year into a solid precipitate of success. Senior informal

lectures and papers by lower classmen featured at every meeting supplemented classroom activity and provided opportunity for the individual to investigate scientific subjects and problems of contemporary and personal interest. Several outstanding alumni returned this year to give the club interesting facts of actual test-tube experience and also furnished encouragement and inspiration enabling the active members to see their goals of scientific advancement and human enlightenment. Again faculty advisers Dr. Van Zyl and Dr. Kleinheksel can pride themselves with five seniors whose applications for scholarships and assistantships were accepted by leading university graduate schools.

, CLUB Something new has been added! Extra-curricular activities received a new impetus this year from the newly organized Scalpel Club. N o t only did it fulfill its purpose of giving its charter members, premed students and biology majors, a broader concept of their work and an insight on advances in biology and medicine, but the club added a spark of life to campus activities with lectures open to the student body.

These research papers by students proved their great value in interesting information and provided the incentive for outside research. Among the outside speakers were the notable Dr. Storm of Arabia, Dr. Winter, and Dr. Leenhouts who spoke on topics related to their recognized and particular field. Efficient handling of the secretarial work was done by Persis Parker, and the usual purse was cared for by Bob Heneveld.

In its initial year of activity the club was presided over by Justin Aalpool. He was energetically assisted by Clint Harrison who provided the monthly meetings with both student and outside speakers.

The outstanding accomplishment of the year was the sponsoring of an illustrated lecture on cancer by Dr. Henry Vanden Berg, an authority on the subject, which was attended by nearly two hundred students.

CHI The Christian ministers of tomorrow will be facing the tremendous task of presenting to the post-war world an all-sufficient Christ on whom the foundations of society can be rebuilt.

returned and told what they would do "if they had to do it over again." The "Messengers of Christ" made an excursion to Grand Rapids this spring, inspected the home of the Intelligencer-Leader, and visited a Jewish Synagogue. The climax of the year's activities was a banquet at Third Church, to which the future "juvrouws" were graciously invited.

Their program this year included a discussion on "The Call of the Ministry" led by Reverend Louis Benes. Professor Clarence De Graaf, by way of a book review, gave them some pertinent remarks on "Poetry as a Means of Grace." Rather unique were the meetings at which some of the seminary students

The officers this year were Henry Kik, president: Wayne Lemmen, vice president; Wesley Heinen, secretary; Leroy Sandee, treasurer; Daniel Eylstra and Wallace Stoepker, committeemen-at-large. Reverend Henry Bast is their adviser.

This year has been one of retrenchment for the H o p e College Band. Besides strutting its stuff for the football and basketball games little was done in the way of prepared programs. However, the way it p e r f o r m e d at these games was enough to send the most p r o f o u n d jitter-bug into spasms of riotous rollicking. G u r g l i n g saxes, squeeling clarinets, blasting brasses, smearing trombones, and slushy baritones formed a fitting background to the slap-happy antics of our swing-mad drummer, Ranee Everett. Above par were our world-famous d r u m majors and majorettes w h o put on performances both novel and intriguing. These famous personages were none other than Johnny Kleis, d r u m major, and Rose Seith and Shirley Rutgers, d r u m majorettes. Any bad notes coming f r o m the band can be traced to their intense interest in the technique of these famous virtuosi. O u r talented Scotch conductor, Professor James Mearns, led our stumbling footsteps on the narrow, rocky way to musical knowledge. He patiently corrected our many faults and the results can t r u t h f u l l y be called amazing. An interesting innovation this year was the instrumental class under Professor Mearns' direction which

in future years will f o r m the nucleus of a better H o p e Band. This year's band was definitely distinctive in its thorough and unique interpretation of the old Masters, especially did the works of Bach receive greater emphasis than ever before. W e can look back on the past year as one that carried on the high standard of Hope's bands, and look f o r w a r d to continued success in the development of instrumental music on Hope's campus.

T H E GIRLS' GLEE CLUB T O U R E D T H E EAST Under our new director, Mrs. W . Curtis Snow, the feminine warblers of H o p e College started our year with high expectations and attained every one of them. W e remembered it was our turn to go East on a concert tour (as if we could f o r g e t ) so we decided to become very proficient by having two rehearsals a week. W e silently and faithfully came to rehearsals thinking that soon the faculty would tell us we could take that trip. Finally it was sanctioned and our enthusiasm doubled as we sang out on "Let All My Life Be Music" by Spross. Remember those days just before our first presentation of the "dramusical" when it seemed as t h o u g h we would never get the words memorized? W e worked hard and long and early (referring to those Saturday m o r n i n g work-outs). And those d o u g h n u t sales to raise money. W e not only became professional singers but salesmen as well!

our first concert was the beginning of an unusually successful tour. Of course the Westerners took N e w York City by storm and f o u n d out we were not joking when we had a N e w York policeman tell us to pull over to the "coib." W i l l you ever forget the hit that quartet made in Albany with their bright and shining faces, not to mention their version of Camptown Races. T h e n once again H o l l a n d ! Weary, w o r n girls glad to be home but if given the word ready to start out on another trip. But this was not the end of oui activities. O u r home concert was tops! And those little jaunts to Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids were much fun. And then our pot-luck at Mrs. Olive's home. It was grand to be with her again but ever so hard for the seniors to say goodbye, knowing this brought down the curtain of a most successful year.

T h e n came the depressing news that we could not get a bus to make our t o u r ! However, we still kept p l u g g i n g and hoping, and sure enough our Santa Claus, Mr. Friesema, got us a bus.

N e w friendships, numerous laughs, and an art for living togetherâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and most of all a director whom we loveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;these belong to the Girls' Glee Club!

O u r dream became an actuality. T h e flat tire on our way to Detroit did not deflate our spirits. And

This year was the men's turn to remain at home while the Girls' Glee Club w e n t on the road. T h e club began the year with more than thirty members, and was strong in every section. T h e great potentialities of this g r o u p were very encouraging to its director, Professor Cavanaugh, w h o did such a fine job with last year's club, his first year here. D u r i n g the first semester several members joined our country's fighting forces. This destroyed the balance of the g r o u p and necessitated a revision of its personnel. T h e club was cut to twenty, and this picked g r o u p sang together f o r the rest of the year. In cooperation with the national effort to conserve o n vital materials it was t h o u g h t advisable to make the girls' tour the only trip taken by either club. All customary short trips to s u r r o u n d i n g cities, and a projected week-end jaunt were f o r e g o n e by the men. Performances were confined to the vicinity of Holland. T h e men appeared in several local churches, a n d maintained the reputation acquired on last year's tour of being a well-trained and musicianly g r o u p . T h e college heard them twice in the m o r n i n g chapel service, singing ""Trust in the L o r d " by Handel, and "Ecce Q u o m o d o M o r i t u r " by Palestrina. T h e club also appeared in a vesper service sponsored by the Musical Arts Club. W h i l e the girls were gone the

chapel choir was given a vacation, and d u r i n g this two weeks period the Men's Glee Club took its place each m o r n i n g . A l t h o u g h not in the public eye, the men have worked h a r d building f o r next year when they h o p e to repeat their success of last year. T h e outlook for next year's club is uncertain. T h e army now has first claim on the male personnel of the college—a priority which is not begrudged by anyone. Nevertheless, it appears at present that the college will have another outstanding Men's Glee Club next year.

It was a happy day in the fall of '41 for music lovers when Mrs. Snow broached a plan for organizing Hope's first music society. In the past, music students have felt the need of such a group, so much interest was immediately shown. All H o p e students w h o were studying music privately were invited to the organization meeting, at which G o r d o n Berkel was elected president of the group, Junella Vander Linden, vice president, and Jeanne Swart, secretary-treasurer. Jeanette V a n Beek was elected p r o g r a m chairman, whose duty it was to appoint, with her committee, chairmen f o r the monthly meetings. Homecoming gave the club its display its name "Musical Arts" soon after its organization. A car in the Homecoming parade the new group.

Activities f o r the year were carried out in monthly club meetings and an occasional Sunday vesper service. All of us know it is one thing to play or sing alone, or for one's teacher, but it is quite another thing to play or sing before a critical g r o u p of musi-

cians. It was doing this that made the membership in the club so valuable. At each meeting an hour p r o g r a m of varied musical numbers was presented by some members of the group. A critic was appointed for each of these programs, and it was his duty to criticize each number freely and fullyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;constructively and destructively. (Clinton Harrison proved himself an extremely humorous critic!) Some of the numbers given at these meetings w e r e : vocal solo, M a rjorie Brouwer; organ solo, Anna R u t h P o p p e n ; flute duet, Ann D e Y o u n g and Calvin De Vries; clarinet solo, G o r d o n Berkel; marimba solo, J o h n Heemstra. Many more rich musical experiences were offered by club members throughout the year. 1 9 4 r s fatal December 7 saw Musical Arts sponsor a Sunday Vesper featuring the college choir and glee clubs as well as an organ number by Adelaide W a n d scheer and an organ-piano duet by Marge Friesema and Ruth Van Bronkhorst. Musical Arts has as its ultimate goal the joining of a National Music society. T h e first step, organization, has been taken.

Members of the Palette and Masque Club look back over the w o r k of the past year with a feeling of pride and satisfaction. Organized only about a year and a half ago, the club is making a definite place f o r itself on the campus. In the spring of 1941, N o r m a Becksfort was chosen by the g r o u p to head P and M d u r i n g this year. Assisting her has been Jeanette Rylaarsdam as vice president and p r o g r a m chairman.

T h a t the students of H o p e College are interested in dramatics was shown by the fact that this spring, under the sponsorship of P and M, more t h a n forty students traveled to G r a n d Rapids to see the Civic Players' production of Maxwell Anderson's play Elizabeth

A f t e r mustering a membership of over 100 girls in the fall, Y. W . plunged into one of its most successful and eventful years. First came Orientation W e e k , with the Big Sisters, the beach party, and the campus tour all helping to make the freshmen feel at home. T h e n came the impressive candle-lit Recognition Meeting at which the new members were received, and the many interesting meetings which followed—student-led meetings,—forum discussions, —talks by missionaries, like T e n a Holkeboer,—and by ministers, like Rev. W i l l i a m V a n ' t H o f , — a Mother's Day meeting,—and in the spring the installation of the next year's officers. Of course, no one forgets the joint meetings with the Y. M. There was that one, f o r instance, at which the P and M Club presented a Christmas play, and also the one celebrating the centenary of the Chinese Mission. For that inspirational meeting we are all deeply grateful to Mrs. Henry Poppen and the other missionaries w h o helped her. U n d e r the leadership of President Mae Clonan and Vice President A n n De Young, with the help of Louise Essenberg, w h o kept the records, and Jeanne H o r t o n , w h o handled the finances, the Y. W . undertook many special projects this year. Most important was the writing of a constitution f o r the society, a much-needed task which demanded a lot of hard and careful work. In cooperation with the Y. M. they sponsored a Victory Book Campaign to

provide books f o r the men in the army camps. T h e annual Mission Drive was for the mission church at Chiapas, Mexico. A f t e r Rev. and Mrs. Kempers told us about their work there, the students raised well over six hundred dollars, which not only purchased new pews for the Mexican church, but elevated Rod Funston f r o m the pulpit floor to the love-seat. " P u t t i n g Christianity to W o r k T o d a y " was the general theme of Prayer Week, and Dr. Raymond Drukker was the leader of the week's activities. Unlike the usual practice, we had a different speaker for each service —• Rev. Louis Benes, Dr. Samuel Zwemer, Dr. J o h n Dykstra, Dr. J. R. Mulder, and Dr. Raymond Drukker.

T h e Mission Drive resulted in a f u n d of over six h u n d r e d dollars, which purchased new seats f o r the church in Chiapas, Mexico. T h e new bulletin board listing i n f o r m a t i o n about the H o p e men w h o are in the armed forces is only another example of the way the Y's are attempting to meet the problems of the present day. Their program, expressed in the triangle—body, mind, and spirit, extends its influence into every campus activity. T h e y sponsor beach parties, hymn sings, and other recreational opportunities. T h e officers, Blase Levai, president, Ray O l t h o f , vice president, A1 Borgman, secretary, and J o h n Muller, treasurer, have constantly kept before them the goal to " m a k e Christ k i n g of H o p e ' s campus."

First the national emergency and then war were the big issues of the A N C H O R this year. Time and again this bi-weekly campus newspaper printed editorials asking H o p e students to set aside their college isolationism f r o m the rest of the country and to take their part in a nation in jeopardy. Constantly it demanded that students realize that a democracy imposes duties as well as grants privileges to its citizens. In an attempt to carry this purpose farther, the paper printed all the news that it could get concerning recent alumni and other f o r m e r students now in active service. W h e n war broke u p o n us this reporting was somewhat curtailed, for the Anchor cooperated cheerfully with government requests for voluntary censorship of news of troop movements and concentrations.

editor; she was aided greatly by the humor of George Lumsden and Ruth V a n Bronkhorst. Ruthie's verses were especially notable, except that sometimes they were taken too seriously and caused the poetess no end of embarrassment. Special credit is due Nancy Boynton, whose help was never lacking at Saturday morning re-write sessions. T h e financial end of the work was directed by Jack Timmer until leakage of the heart sent him home at Christmas time for a long rest. T h e n Jack's assistant, William Moerdyke, took over the duties of Business Manager. Both worked with Faculty Business Adviser Garrett Vander Borgh.

T h e school year 1941-42 was a memorable and never-to-be-forgotten year f o r the Pi K a p p a Delta chapter of H o p e College. N o t only did they rise to new heights of glory, but also in doing so set u p an enviable record for f u t u r e members to strive for. Hope sponsors the Michigan G a m m a chapter of this national forensic honor society, and she is proud of the masterful work done by this year's group. At the May banquet last year, J o h n Westhof was installed as president f o r this year. Mary Felter served as vice president and N o r m a Becksfort as secretary-treasurer. John Hains and Jeanette Rylaarsdam were chosen as debate managers and Clinton Harrison filled the office of reporter. Early in October the annual Pi Kappa Delta sponsored Forensic rally was held. T h e purpose of the rally was to i n f o r m students, especially new students, of the forensic program of the year and to arouse an interest in speech activities. Speeches were given by Pi Kappa Delta members and Prof. William Schrier, faculty advisor. Starting the competitive year out right, Pi Kap's Jeanette Rylaarsdam and G o r d o n Girod returned home f r o m the state extempore contest in November with a first and a third place, respectively. In February J o h n Hains and John W e s t h o f , G o r d o n Girod and Andrew Veldhuis, all Pi Kappa

Delta members, remained undefeated at East Lansing to return with the state debate championship. T h e T h i r d Annual Forensic Day of H o p e College was held on March 6. Hope was host to the state oratorical contest. Entrants for Hope were Miss N o l a Nies and Calvin De Vries, winners of the local contest held in December. M r . De Vries won first place in the men's division in the state contest and Miss Nies took second in the women's division. Highlighting the year was the fourteenth Biennial N a t i o n a l Convention of Pi Kappa Delta held April 5-10 at Minneapolis, Minnesota. N o l a Nies and J o h n Hains entered oratory, G o r d o n Girod participated in extempore speaking, and J o h n Westhof was in the legislative assembly. T o p honors of "superior" ratings were awarded to Miss Nies, Mr. Girod, and Mr. W e s t h o f . Mr. Hains placed in the "excellent" divisions with a sixth place rating. Some five hundred students f r o m ninety-three colleges and universities competed in the various events. In April five new members were initiated, a constitution was adopted, elections were held and then in May President-elect Clinton Harrison and his council were installed at the annual banquet. Here's to another successful year for '42-43 Pi Kaps and may you carry another Glory Day in your repertoire.

" T h i s season is to be an 'all-out' year f o r H o p e forensics d e p a r t m e n t . " So spoke Coach Professor Schrier at the outset of the forensic work f o r 1941 and 42. T h e six seasoned first squad debaters and several y o u n g h o p e f u l s successfully carried out that motto, "all out f o r H o p e . " A varied and extensive p r o g r a m f o r the year was worked out by Coach Schrier and his debate managers, J o h n Hains and Jeanette Rylaarsdam. T h e forensics season was officially opened on January 14 at the Kalamazoo invitational t o u r n a m e n t f o r w o m e n . It proved to be a striking o p e n i n g as the negative team of Tardiff and Rylaarsdam came t h r o u g h with an all-victory record. T h e men's squad first V f o r their victory year was spelled at the State T o u r n a m e n t f o r men held at East Lansing on February 14. Representing H o p e were G i r o d and Veldhuis on the affirmative and Westhof and Hains f o r the negative. T h e results showed a perfect all-win record with H o p e taking their place as state champions. Albion was the host school this year f o r the W o m e n ' s State Debate T o u r n a m e n t . Successfully representing H o p e College were Poole, V a n Haitsma, W a r n e r , Jellema, Smith, Aldrich, Tardiff, and Rylaarsdam. Preliminary to the Manchester Debate T o u r n a ment, largest in the country, two men's teams, com-

posed of Harrison and Veldhuis, and Fylstra and W e e n i n k , ably assisted by Girod, "star of the debate s q u a d " according to Professor Schrier, succeeded in tieing with Calvin f o r first place at the Kalamazoo Invitational T o u r n a m e n t . T h e highlight of the season was the huge annual debate t o u r n a m e n t at Manchester, Indiana, on February 27 to 28. T o the professed astonishment of Coach Schrier, Harrison and Veldhuis, the "coachless wonders," w o n five out of six in Division A. T h e y defeated such teams of note as N o t r e D a m e and Illinois N o r m a l , thereby bringing their total at Manchester f o r two years to ten out of eleven victories. O n the negative the invincible w o m e n ' s team of Tardiff and Rylaarsdam w o n f o u r out of five in the A Division while W e s t h o f and Hains d r o p p e d their only one. Thus, H o p e ' s record in Class A was nine out of twelve. In B Division Fylstra, Girod, Smith, Pool, W e s t h o f , and Hains in varying combinations took seven out of ten. H o p e ' s total record in both divisions, sixteen out of twenty, put her in the f r o n t r a n k of participating schools. N o official champion is crowned at Manchester. Freshmen attended the Men's and W o m e n ' s Freshman T o u r n a m e n t s thereby gaining valuable experience f o r the coming year. So closed another eventful and an "all-out" year of forensic w o r k at H o p e College.

T h e nucleus of athletics on H o p e ' s campus is the one and only ""He-Man" organization, the " H " Club. T o it alone belongs the distinct h o n o r of stimulating interest in all forms of collegiate sport. Its membership is exclusively restricted to varsity men w h o have earned the right to carry the colors of H o p e throughout the ages to come. An enthusiastic active participation on the green-turfed gridiron, the basketball court, the cinder track, the tennis court, or fairway is the key to an " H " award. This year the activities of the club were under the direction of an elected executive committee headed by versatile Elmer M o r g a n . Aiding him with the heavy work was W i l l i a m Hakken, vice president; Ray Van O m m e n acting as secretary; and Jack Yeomans, keeper-of-the-archives.

Eootball Captain Bill Tappan led his team from center and won an All-M. I. A. A. place for himself.

T h e " H " Club attempts to f u r t h e r athletic interest by persuading men to participate in sports and by drawing f r o m the high schools those athletes w h o will bring glory to their Alma Mater in future years. N o t only are these men sought for their prowess in athletic competition, but also for the other contributions they may be expected to make during their college career, for scholastic ability is as important as physical fitness. H o p e is rightfully proud of the members of the " H " Club, and is t h a n k f u l for the prestige these men of the O r a n g e and Blue have brought back to her. For the future the organization looks forward to its new men to uphold and maintain the outstanding records of former H o p e teams.

A veil of uncertainty shrouded H o p e ' s grid camp this a u t u m n as f o u r of H o p e ' s first string warriors doffed the orange and blue f o r army khaki or navy blue. Strange young faces were seen scrimmaging alongside of the all too f e w veterans. W h a t the newcomers lacked in experience and age they were making u p in enthusiasm. T o Coach H i n g a had fallen the task of creating a football machine out of a h a n d f u l of veterans and a crew of eager but unseasoned frosh. H e had lost one of his co-captains, Ray Meyers, to the naval air corps. W h i t e y Riemersma, ace of last season's backfield, had answered his nation's call as had W a r d T o n e r and Chuck Holcomb, veteran linemen. T o alleviate the shortage of athletes, the M. I. A. A. had abolished the f r e s h m a n rule by making eligible first year men w h o rated in the upper 40 per cent of the frosh intelligence test. W h e n the smoke of battle had cleared away, H o p e had lost only two games, w o n three, and tied three. Moral victories and bad breaks seemed to be the keynote of the season, but scorebooks do not record weather conditions, injuries, and the other little things that Uncle Sam had not already tinkered with. T h e frosh stood out as the highlight of the season by their amazing adjustment to collegiate football.

T h e H i n g a m e n got off to a flying start against the G r a n d Rapids Jayhawks under the lights of Houseman field. T h e first half ended in a scoreless deadlock after D o n De Fouw had repeatedly booted the pigskin out of danger with deadly accuracy. Inspired after the intermission, Dick Higgs, frosh halfback, and Art T i m m e r , the Grandville Gazelle, outflanked J. C.'s defenses f o r the first tally. Roy Davis, s o p h o m o r e sensation, converted and later booted a field goal f r o m the 18-yard line to win the game 10-0.

In the first game under the local lights, the indubitable D u t c h spirit would not yield to the incessant p o u n d i n g of the heavier and more experienced grid machine of Ypsilanti State N o r m a l , and w h e n the final gun sounded, neither goal had been crossed. T h e backfield showed great potentialities; however, the line showed u p t o be p o o r in blocking. Hopes f o r a championship or second berth in the M. I. A. A. skyrocketed after the Hollanders' sortie against the dynamite of the veteran Alma Scots. Undaunted by a m u d d y field, the u n d e r d o g s ploughed and passed their way repeatedly deep into Alma territory and scored on a bullet pass f r o m T i m m e r

the brunt of the battle, the freshmen led by Higgs and Karel in the backfield, and Pape, Dick, Purchase, and Koranda on the forward wall, outcharged the Dales for a 6-0 victory. Injuries still riddled the lineup with De Fouw being the only regular without a limp.

Morale hit a low ebb as H o p e took a 16-0 trouncing f r o m Potsy Clark's G r a n d Rapids University Lancers. T h e sparkplug was missing f r o m the H o p e machine as veterans T a p p a n , Timmer, Koop, Morgan, and Bekken were on the injured list.

T h e defending champs, however, were not to be humbled before their homecoming crowd after 15 straight victories.

rivals—thus the stage was set f o r the greatest gridiron drama of the year. Saturday dawned wetter than ever. H o p e ' s gleaming white jerseys reflected the wearer's contempt f o r wind, rain, or H o r n e t . Kazoo, however, was also u n d a u n t e d by the elements, and before H o p e had dirtied her jerseys, the invader's T ' f o r m a t i o n had splashed across the goal line for a 6-0 lead. N o w it was H o p e ' s turn to splash, and splash, swim, and skid she did until the begrimed stalwarts blended perfectly with the rivers of black mud flowing at Riverview stadium. Slowly they began to ooze past the H o r n e t s ' defense, and as the f o u r t h stanza began they flowed right on over the Kazoo goal line. T h e conversion failed and the game ended with neither team gaining victory. Fog replaced rain f o r the last game of the year against Adrian.

As it was, however, the smoothness with which the H o p e offense penetrated both the mist and the Bulldogs' defense, proved that it was only the hand of fate which held her d o w n to third place in the final M .

HOPE T O O K SECOND IN M. I. A. A. BASKETBALL.

Around the Circle: J. Baas, D . Mulder, R. Van Dis, G. Dalman, R. Higgs, P. Van D o n , K. Newendorp, R. D e Vette, E. Kleinjans, G. Van Wieren. In the Circle: K. Vanden Berg, Coach M. Hinga. At the left, All-M. 1. A. A. Center J. Visser.

As K i n g Football abdicated the spotlight, Crown Prince Basketball stepped u p and took its bow. Uncle Sam had been kind to Coach Hinga by allowing Ken Vandenberg, Ets Kleinjans, Gil Van Wieren, Jackie Baas, and Long John Visser to return f r o m last season's near-champion quintet. Bolstering these five were George Dalman, last year's frosh sensation, and the cream of this year's bumper crop of freshman cagers. Gym-hangers were predicting another M. I. A. A. crownâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;if they could stop Alma! N o Hopeite had any doubt left about the might of the United States Army as the brawny soldiers f r o m Fort Custer pounced on the Dutchmen in the first game to the tune of 39-34. T h e best that could be said for the collegians was that they "successfully retreated" by playing a great defensive game. However, a preview of our potential offensive strength came three days later as the team outclassed G r a n d Rapids University 50-27. Sanity had departed f r o m the Holland Armory as the teachers f r o m Ypsilanti N o r m a l invaded the locals for the first of many hair-raisers. A dogfight developed f r o m the opening whistle with neither team holding the upper hand until the final gun.

W i t h seconds remaining, the score deadlocked at 28 all, and a hysterical mob tearing its hair, Gilday calmly strode up to the free-throw line and swished in the winning bucket for Ypsi. Again the Dutch took their revenge on the G r a n d Rapids Lancers by scalping them 54-31. H a r o l d Gensichen personally defeated Hope in the fifth pre-conference game. Pouring in buckets f r o m all angles, the sophomore sensation of Western Michigan College rang u p a total of 32 points for a new individual scoring record. Four other W . M. C. students cooperated with Gensichen to defeat the Hollanders 47-43. In the initial M. 1. A. A. game the O r a n g e and Blue soundly whipped Hillsdale to the tune of 61-38, and in the next two encounters, the fast break of the Hingamen mowed down Olivet and Albion by goodly margins. Pre-season predictions that Alma was the team to beat were verified as the Scots steamrollered over the Dutch 54-42. Kleinjans kept the game interesting and the Scots worried by his consistent crosscourt buckets. Exams over, Hope journeyed south to invade Adrian and Ypsilanti. T h e only difference between

this Ypsi game and the d o g f i g h t several weeks earlier was the gymnasium in which the duals occurred. W i t h the score deadlocked and seconds remaining, Gilday again planted a w i n n i n g charity toss in the bucket f o r a 44-43 victory. In the other southern game, S o p h o m o r e D a l m a n led the H o p e hoopsters with a total of 20 counters to twist the Bulldog's tail.

Kirby recalled his sophomore defeat and p r o m p t l y d r o p p e d in a pair of w i n n i n g buckets. V a n d e n b e r g and Visser retaliated to make the score 48-46, but the g u n cut off their spree and gave Alma their second consecutive championship. In the last two contests H o p e easily trounced A d r i a n and Kazoo, but the Hopeites f o u n d little consolation after the glimpse of another crown had vanished.

Kalamazoo was the next victim before the Holland blitzkrieg and the H o r n e t s returned home with a 44-26 scalping. H a v i n g tasted blood the Hingamen next pounced o n Hillsdale's hapless five. N e o phytes Mulder, V a n Dis, and De Vette played convincing collegiate ball as the frosh gave the regulars a rest and gave their school a 55-37 win.

In the 18 games, H o p e scored 940 points to their o p p o n e n t s ' 710. Visser, D a l m a n , and Kleinjans were h o n o r e d o n the all-M. I. A. A. team and K l e i n j a n s was elected as captain of next year's cagers. Graduating after a successful season are Co-captains V a n d e n b e r g and V a n W i e r e n , Visser, Baas, and

N e v e r has a H o p e team so completely devasted a foe as they did Olivet. Averaging between one and two swishers a minute, both reserves and regulars alike turned on the heat f o r 40 blistering minutes to set a scoring record f o r the H o l l a n d Armory. Impressed by the w a r m D u t c h hospitality our visitors returned home with a 94-41 licking. A little more difficulty was encountered in the Albion game, but the Britons were snowed under in the last period by H o p e panzer tactics. T w o years ago a once-defeated H o p e squad had taken the armory floor against a sophomore Alma team, with the M. I. A. A. crown at stake. This year as seniors H o w e , Kirby, and Carey took the same floor they were vividly reminded of how Ade Slikkers, with his team one point behind, had d r o p p e d a long bucket in the last second to give the championship to H o p e . This year with four minutes remaining, the championship again at stake. Alma leading by one point, and H o p e threatening again. In the Kazoo game here John Visser got the first jump and H o p e went on to win 44-26.

T h e wealth of freshman basketball talent which turned out for the varsity this year p r o m p t e d the organization of a ""B" team to replace the frosh squad of pre-draft days. N i n e sharpshooters who only a year ago captained high school quintets turned out f o r the opening practice. Coached by Jack Schouten, the ""B" team ended the season of ten games with only two defeats. Starting the season by bowing to the Pure Oils of the H o l l a n d City League, the frosh rapidly developed into a smoothly working machine, the only other defeat being at the hands of the Zeeland Merchants, a pickup team of high school and college stars. Well-deserved victories were won over the Precision Parts, Dykema Taylors, Post Jewelers, and Keppel Paints of the City League. In two ""breathers" f r o m a tough schedule, the quintet easily defeated the brawn of the " H " Club, composed mainly of H o p e grid stars. T h e only conference defeats which the varsity suffered this season were avenged as the H o p e " B " team twice trounced the Alma '"B" squad. O u t s t a n d i n g and seasoned material f o r next year's varsity hardwood squad was assured as the individual brilliance of the ex-high school stars was moulded into the clockwork of Hope's traditional style of basketball. Certain to see action with the varsity next season are Hoots Rowan and Ken Leighton who led the scoring offensive this season. Merle Vanden Berg, captain of last season's Holland High quintet, showed up well on defense. If he keeps up 100

the family tradition set by his brothers Bob and Ken, the V a n d e n Berg family will have been represented on the H o p e varsity for nine consecutive years when Merle graduates. Also giving the regulars competition next year will be Glenn Bruggers, G o r d o n Brewer, Herk Van Tongeren, and Bob Barkema. These boys made rapid improvement toward the end of the season and, according to Coach Schouten, showed up better away f r o m home than on the armory court before local fans. T h e transportation problems accompanying the national crisis was a big factor in eliminating freshman M. I. A. A. competition this year, but had there been a league, our " B " team might very easily have swept through an undefeated season. Varsity "B" team beat the Keppel Coal team 32-28.

BY T H E A C C E L E R A T E D C O L L E G E P R O G R A M . In the spring a young man's fancy turns to outdoor sports. O n H o p e ' s campus, however, these activities were drastically curtailed this year due to the accelerated program and transportation problems. Missing f r o m Maytime sports were several veterans w h o had left their alma mater for the United States Armed Forces. Track was hit hardest as Slocombe was the only remnant of last year's cinder squad. H u g h Kinnison, however, spoke well for the green frosh as he vaulted 11 feet, 5% inches at East Lansing to break the M. I. A. A. indoor pole vault record. Other promising material was f o u n d in Midavaine, Otteman, Funston, and the Heneveld brothers. As the M I L E S T O N E went to press, the thinclads were looking f o r w a r d to a triagonal meet at Albion, and two dual meets with G r a n d Rapids Junior. T h e M. I. A. A. outdoor meet was to be held at W e s te rn Michigan's track May 22. Baseball, although not an official M. 1. A. A. sport, is making a strong bid to supplant track as the m a j o r spring activity. Ken V a n d e n Berg and Ray Otteman were the only returning regulars, but the pre-season prospects were promising. Games were scheduled with Western Michigan, G r a n d

Rapids University, and the Muskegon and G r a n d Rapids Junior Colleges. W i t h King W i n t e r still holding sway over the world, the raquet wielders of H o p e were hard at work in the gym, r o u n d i n g into shape for the coming tennis season. W i t h a spring trip South all scheduled, the news suddenly came through of its cancelation because of the war conditions and the accelerated program undertaken by the college. However, the charges of Mike Arendshorst were not discouraged. Returning to bolster the hopes of H o p e along with eager new recruits were Bill T a p p a n , Jackie Baas, and H o w a r d Hoekje. Matches have been scheduled with the G r a n d Rapids schools: Junior College, Calvin College, and the University. T h e annual rivalry between the Dutch and the Kalamazoo Hornets will be continued as well as an engagement with the potent Western Michigan netters. T h e beginning of the golf season f o u n d Art Timmer the only veteran reporting to Holland Country Club. At this early date. Bob Geldhart is the only newcomer certain of a place on the squad which has onlv four matches scheduled.

" H o t d o g s , chewing gum, p a d d l e - p o p s " â&#x20AC;&#x201D; t h a t ' s the favorite cry of the A. D. D. girls. Yes, clad in their o r a n g e and blue sweaters, these coeds willingly oblige hungry sports fans with a little refreshment. D o you remember last September and October when football was in f u l l swing? It was on those chilly nights, that the girls could be f o u n d u n d e r the stands at Riverview Park p r e p a r i n g their ever popular coffee and hotdogs. Many a cold spectator has been sufficiently w a r m e d by this h o t stimulant and many a spectator has gone away dejected because the supply could not fill every demand. In N o v e m b e r w h e n all football paraphernalia was put away for the season, the girls followed the crowd to the local armory for the basketball schedule. T h i s kept them mighty busy t h r o u g h the m o n t h of March. T h e popular seller for this athletic event was chewing g u m ; no doubt the desire was created when the games became especially thrilling and somehow the fans too had excess energy to work off. Athletic D e b t Diggers is an organization comprised of girls f r o m all the sororities on the campus. In May of each year a dinner is held at which time a f r e s h m a n girl f r o m each sorority is elected to the

g r o u p . Officers are also elected at this time and f o r the year 1941-42 it was Peggy H a d d e n w h o ably presided as president of the organization. Something new was added on the list of campus activities this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the Saturday f u n nights in Carnegie gym. T h e participants were in need of a little refreshments and it was the A. D . D . girls w h o profited by selling paddle-pops. In addition to having a g r a n d time w o r k i n g together this year, the books show A. D . D.'s finances to be over the top. A n d what did they do with the extra cash? Some of it went for athletic equipment. Included in this are those good-looking orange and blue blankets awarded to senior male athletes. W . A. A. also profited this year and was awarded some of A. D. D.'s hard-earned money. A. D. D., then, is an organization which is the only one of its type on our campus, an organization solely for service. W e are indebted to the Debt Diggers f o r the splendid w o r k they do. N o t only do they serve the athletic groups of H o p e , but they also serve the student body with an ever-ready smile and and a r m f u l of f o o d supply! Here's to you girls!

Successful . . . the one word to describe W . A. A.'s numerous activities this past year.

W . A. A.'ers returned to Holland and sponsored similar play days f o r Hope's coeds.

U n d e r the able leadership of Lorraine Timmer the board has carried out a varied and interesting sports program for Hope's coeds. D u r i n g the warm fall weather the girls enjoyed hikes, archery, and horseback riding, but as the snows began to swirl, the girls betook themselves to Carnegie gym f o r an exciting basketball tournament. Playoffs went to Brouwer's Wolverines and the climax was the upperclasswomen's victory in the All-Star game.

In the spring the young girls' fancies rightly returned to thoughts of horseback riding, archery, softball, and particularly tennis. A f t e r the completion of the annual tennis tournament five fair "racketeers" were selected to journey Kazooward to engage the W e s te rn netters and then continued to Olivet to enter the M. 1. A. A. tournament.

D u r i n g this same wintry season many a girl splashed to her heart's content in the G r a n d Rapids Y. W . C. A. pool. Likewise, W . A. A. made arrangements with the local bowling alley for the girls and their intersorority bowling league. Ping-pong, too, sponsored by the board, proved to be a popular sport. Another highspot in the activities of W . A. A. was the M. 1. A. A. play day held this year in Albion. In place of the usual competition between schools, the girls were placed on teams regardless of college affiliations. In rotation the teams played basketball, volleyball, baseball, kickball, and ping-pong. Then, in the afternoon, each athlete enjoyed a refreshing dip in the Albion pool. W i t h renewed interest the

Some of the credit for the Physical Education course in which several education students participated this past year goes to W . A. A.; for it was through the cooperation of the board and "Jack" Schouten that the course was realized. In such a compilation as this of W . A. A.'s accomplishments mention must not be omitted of the float which the board entered for the first time in the Homecoming parade. Since it was not a regular society float it could not compete for the grand prize; however, it was given honorable mention by the judges. Because of W . A. A.'s success in developing a sports program for the girls of the campus, the organization not only commands respect locally but exerts a great deal of influence in M. 1. A. A. as well.

T h e Science B u i l d i n g â&#x20AC;&#x201D; h o w proud we are of it! It is both an expression of the living hope of H o p e College, and a m o n u m e n t to her glorious history. It speaks of great things in the past and promises still greater things in the f u t u r e . T h e cramped conditions in V a n Raalte Hall have long cried the need of a new building to house the science department. Some time ago the church u n d e r t o o k enthusiastically a campaign to raise f u n d s for such a building. Each church contributed generously, and even the students themselves raised over five h u n d r e d dollars. It stands now, a reality: less than a year after its inception it is complete. Its firm Dutch architecture lends dignity and character to our campus; its many fine features wil! be a boon to future students. Especially fine are its heating and ventilating systems, designed to reduce

O n the second floor will be two large chemistry lecture rooms and the junior and senior labs. T h e biology and botany departments will be located on the third floor. Besides its large lecture rooms and its convenient and well-equipped laboratories, it has a special science library room. T h e space vacated by the removal of the laboratories f r o m V a n Raalte H a l l will make possible numerous changes and improvements in that building also. D r .

HOPE E N T E R T A I N E D A N D H O N O R E D ROYALTY

Princess Juliana of the Netherlands, alon^ with Prince Consort Bernhardt and Dr. and Mrs. Alexander Loudon, minister plenipotentiary of the Netherlands to the United States Government, arrived in Holland in the evening of June 10, 1941. They were feted at a banquet in the Warm Friend Tavern. The f o l l o w i n g morning a special convocation was held in H o p e Memorial Chapel for the purpose of awarding the princess an honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. The processional began at Dr. Wichers' home. Station W O O D of Grand Rapids transcribed the convocation ceremony and rebroadcast it twice that afternoon. That same afternoon a reception was held in Dr. Wichers' home at which students, faculty, and townspeople had an opportunity to meet the princess and her consort.

Hope College students w h o attended the historic special convocation at which Crown Princess Juliana of the N e t h e r l a n d s received the honorary degree of doctor of laws, June 10, 1941, will have glowing tales of their glimpses of Dutch royalty to tell to their grandchildren some day as they recall those memorable events. O r a n g e flowers and ribbons, insignia of the House of Orange, were evident in many lapels at the meeting in the chapel, filled to capacity by 2,000 students, townspeople, and visiting dignitaries.

Her Royal Highness Princess Juliana was presented the degree by Dr. Edgar F. Romig, president of the General Synod, Reformed Church in America; and Dr. W y n a n d Wichers, college president, read the citation. Prof. Thoma s E. Welmers had the honor of adjusting the doctor of laws hood of purple and gold.

I he Princess, poised and gracious, was accompanied to Holland, the Dutch settlement in America bearing the name of her native land, by her husband. Prince Bernhardt, who arrived at the adopted Canadian home of the exiled Princess and their two daughters on a surprise visit f r o m England. Features of the impressive convocation were an academic pro-

In accepting the honorary degree. Princess Juliana expressed her gratitude for herself and her freedomloving countrymen, voicing the hope that a new world, "a permanent union of goodwill among na tions shall be the outcome of the present struggle." She concluded her talk with the Dutch phrase, "Lang leve en bloeie, H o p e College," or "Long live in blossom, Hope College."

W h e n D r . Edward D i m n e n t composed ""The Pilgrim," his genius marked another highlight in the history of H o p e College. This pageant, written expressly f o r the 75th Anniversary celebration at Hope, contains the story of H u m a n i t y d o w n t h r o u g h the long ages. Humanity, in the guise of a Pilgrim, seeks its perfect welfare. T h e quest is begun in total darkness. It ends in the brilliant light of heaven. T h e quest covers the centuries f r o m the call of A b r a h a m to the coming of the King of Kings. Universal salvation becomes the Goal of the quest, and its full fruition is pictured in the achievement of H o p e College as a Church college, and its graduates active in the u p l i f t of mankind. T h e pageant was cast in eight eposides, beginning with an introit, and taking up the Universal Promise, the Universal Kingdom, the Universal Call, the Uni-

T h e Pilgrim was played by H a r r y Meiners, and the musical leads were taken by Prof. Robert Cavanaugh and G e r t r u d e Bolema. T h e remainder of the cast of 250 persons was composed of various members of the faculty and student body. Also included was a children's choir, and the Men's Glee Club of the college. T h e narrators f o r the p r o g r a m were Jeanette Rylaarsdam, N o l a Nies, V e r n o n T e n Cate, James Mearns, H a r o l d Colenbrander, H a r l a n d Steele, D w i g h t Grotenhouse, J o h n Hains, Forrest Prindle, T h e o d o r e V a n Vliet, and Blase Levai.

FRESHMAN ORIENTATION ADDS CAMPUS COLOR.

T h e freshmen were introduced to the Green and at an All-College celebration in Carnegie Gym. First to receive their colors f r o m Doris Vander Borgh and Bill T a p p a n were Frosh Prexy Dick Higgs and Frosh Representative Merry H a d d e n . In the Frosh-Soph games, the boys-in-green held the day until the last event, the flag-rush. Their failure to capture the green " p o t " at the top of the pole gave the Sophs the winning margin. An especially exciting event was the bag-fight, for the field was a sea of mud. T h e Frosh gained back all they had lost and more 110

when they gave their Soph antagonists a dunking in the annual Pull. T h e Soph girls did what they could to recover the honor of their class when they won the Nykerk Cup Contest later in the fall. Soph Contest Chairman Lois H i n k a m p received the cup f r o m Bill Tappan. Last step in the orientation process was the sentencing of fifteen recalcitrant members to perform stunts on the campus and the Burning of the Green after the Adrian football game. Jane Waldbillig, above, was one who received a penalty.

H O M E C O M I N G WAS R A I N Y

BUT CHEERFUL.

H o m e c o m i n g week-end began and ended in the rain, but the weather could not dampen the spirits of an enthusiastic host of student and alumni revellers.

House decoration awards were also named in the pep-meeting in Graves Library after the parade, First and second winners were Emersonian and Knickerbocker. T h e i r houses are pictured above.

It all began with the biggest homecoming parade in the history of the college. N o t only the fraternities and sororities, but every organization on the campus had either a float or a decorated car in the lineup. Floats were kept covered u p until just before parade time in order to preserve the crepe paper.

W h e n the parade was over, the M I L E S T O N E p h o t o g r a p h e r went d o w n t o w n . T h e r e he f o u n d M r . Robert Cavanaugh buying "cokes" f o r a g r o u p of alumnae w h o were formerly music students at H o p e .

W h e n it was all over. Fraternal had captured first place. Their theme was " W e ' l l Freeze O u t Kazoo." T h e w i n n i n g float featured a h u g e block of ice with an oversize hornet frozen inside. Also in evidence was an old-fashioned general store stove with the customary loafers gathered a r o u n d to w a r m their feet. Second place was awarded the Emersonian float, which had a twenty-foot hornet on it. T h e theme was " W e ' l l T a k e the Sting O u t of the H o r n e t . "

Saturday m o r n i n g was taken u p with society breakfasts f o r alumni. In the a f t e r n o o n a capacity crowd jammed the big g r a n d s t a n d to witness a mudbattle between the H o p e and Kalamazoo elevens. T h e field was so bad and the mist so heavy that spectators could recognize the players only by the direction in which they were runrting. T h e big day came to a close with a banquet in Carnegie Gymnasium. O n the p r o g r a m were two well-remembered a l u m n i : " B u t c h " Powers, w h o led songs, and Rev. Lester Kuipers of W e s t e r n Theological Seminary, w h o was the speaker. Ill

Queen N o l a N i e s , M. Hadden, M. Clonan, R Williams, J. Rylaarsdam, D. Vander Borgh, D. Curtis.

Inclement weather caused a hurried revision of the arrangements for May Day last year. Original plans had been that the new queen would assume her royal power in the campus' beautiful pine grove. However, Jupiter Pluvias intervened and as a consequence the coronation of Her Royal Highness, N o l a Nies, took place in H o p e Memorial Chapel. T h e charming attendents of the queen were: Doris Vander Borgh, Ruth Williams, Mae Clonan, Dorothy Curtis, Jeanette Rylaarsdam, and Marguerite Hadden. 112

May Day was a great success in spite of the stormy weather; and the promise of a prosperous reign was wholly fulfilled this last year while Her Majesty, Queen Nola, wielded the sceptre. At the time of this write-up. May Day is again in the offing. T h e queen this year is chosen by popular vote and her six lovely ladies-in-waiting are selected under the same system. So this year we'll be able to say more than ever that our May Queen rules our hearts.

"It's only a passing shower," hoped Doris V a n d e r Borgh and her committee on June fourteenth, nineteen h u n d r e d forty-one. T h e rain persisted, however, and at three o'clock arrangements for the AllCollege Sing had to be changed. Plans had been made to hold the Sing u n d e r the pines in the center of the campus amid swinging Japanese lanterns, and beneath the starry sky; but dut to M o t h e r N a t u r e ' s pranks the Sing was held in beautiful H o p e Memorial Chapel. Lovely bouquets of pink and white peonies and green palms decorated the stage. Everything was in readiness f o r the performance of the "Sing," an u n f o r g e t t a b l e event in the highlights of the year. T h e String T r i o with Carolyn Kremers at the violin, Lenore Banninga at the piano, and Murray Snow at the cello, opened the p r o g r a m with selected favorites which were followed by a welcome by the Master-of-Ceremonies, Albert V a n Dyke. T o get everyone into the proper mood, Robert Swart then led the audience in community singing. W h i l e each g r o u p assembled on the stage the Master-of-Ceremonies gave a short resume of its history. Each society sang one classical number and its o w n sorority or fraternity song. First came the Cosmopolitans singing Sir Gilbert Sullivan's "Lost C h o r d " ; followed by the D e l p h i girls w h o beautifully rendered Heinz Provost's popular "Intermezzo"; then the Knickerbockers gave their interpretation of the old negro spiritual "Swing Low Sweet C h a r i o t " ; Sorosis followed with Franz Liszt's hauntingly beautiful " L i e b e s t r a u m " ; a medley of "Marching Along T o g e t h e r , " "America I Love Y o u , " and " A n c h o r s A w e i g h " was the Fraternal offering; the

Dorians sang J o h a n n Strauss' immortal " B e a u t i f u l Blue D a n u b e " ; the Emersonians effectively presented " W h e n Day Is D o n e " by D r . Robert Katscher; the Sibyllines harmoniously contributed " C a r m e n a " by H. Lane W i l s o n ; the I n d e p e n d e n t s b r o u g h t the contest to a close with a h u m o r o u s rendition of Paul T o w n e r ' s " O l d K i n g Cole" and ended on a more serious note with Robert Cavanaugh's " H o p e College H y m n . " W h i l e the judges, Mrs. J. E. Telling, Mrs. Stuart Ludlow, and M r . W i l l i s Diekema retired to make their decision on the basis of diction, intonation, attack a n d release, appearance, and originality, the audience again joined in singing a few old favorites under the directorship of Bob Swart. Anxious minutes passed, and finally the judges gave the longawaited decision. D u e to Barbara Dee Folensbee's original a r r a n g e m e n t of "Liebestraum," and the outstanding singing of the Sorosis Song with a unique effect of a lighted baton maneuvered by Carolyn Kremers in a slowly darkened room, the Sorosites were again awarded the loving cup presented by Mrs. Grace Fenton in 1940. T h e Emersonians in their white jackets and dark trousers with A1 Shiphorst at the baton, w o n the men's cup presented by Alcor, 1941. " W h e n Day Is D o n e " followed by the Emersonian Song was the successful choice for the f r a t e r n i t y ; and their melodious rendition won them the envied first place. T h u s the second contest of its kind was br ought to a close; and, with the harmonious strains of the evening's music lingering on their lips, musical Hopeites left the halls of the beautiful chapel.

In May, 1941, fourteen happy girls were tapped and admitted into Alcor, the senior girls' honorary sorority. Alt h o u g h Alcor is only five years old, her influence and achievements have been readily recognized on Hope's campus. T h e raised star of Alcor with its blue ""A" represents the high qualities which are necessary to become a member of this organization. Her members may be only those senior girls w h o have excelled in scholarship, participation in campus activities, and character during the first three years of their college life. Alcor is the only such organization for women on the campus and membership carries with it obligations and duties as well as privileges and honor.

THE

GREATEST H O N O R

Blue Key has written another glorious chapter on the pages of its history at H o p e College. Organized at the University of Florida in 1924, H o p e ' s chapter was admitted in 1932, and yearly has been one of the outstanding groups on the campus. Only senior men w h o have distinguished themselves f o r high scholarship, o u t s t a n d i n g leadership and service to the college, and active participation in campus affairs are eligible to membership. T h e Blue Key is the highest attainment possible f o r a campus man and an h o n o r sought by every male Hopeite. T e n men were tapped in the spring of 1941 to f o r m the nucleus of the society. These were augmented by three more men at the beginning of the fall semester of 1941. Meanwhile, Jay W i t t e departed to serve in the armed forces of his country. O u t of this g r o u p of h o n o r men Blase Levai had the presidency bestowed u p o n him along with M a r t i n Bekken, vice president; Gilbert V a n W i e r e n , secretary-treasurer; and R. Jack Baas, corresponding secretary. T h e purpose of Blue Key is aptly epitomized in its

T h e Blue Key bookstore with its forever first hand bargains; that absolute and principal directory of every student, the Student G u i d e ; those never failing football and basketball p r o g r a m s which were hawked over grandstand and bleachers; and those novel notebooks and bookmarks that were distributed free of charge, were all just a part of the great service this organization has given to the students this year. T h e n , too. Blue Key took an early lead f o r defense with their concentrated drive to sell defense stamps and bonds. Socially too, Blue Key holds a p r o m i n e n t campus position. Its annual Spring Formal is the outstanding social event of the college calendar. N o t h i n g is more eagerly sought after by a coed than an invitation to this party. Professor Milton H i n g a was the g r o u p adviser, aided by honorary faculty members. Professors McLean, Raymond, Kleinheksel, and Lampen. As a final tribute and remembrance to the college the fraternity presented a sound and movie projector to be used in the new science building.
