To those of our student body with whom we have lived during the past three years: to those with whom we have studied; those with whom we have fraternized; to those with whom we have worshipped; those with whom we have engaged in all collegiate activities, curricular and extra-curricular; to those with whom we have experienced both laughter and sadness, joy and sorrow, those whom we have loved, and those who have loved us; to those young men of our number who have answered their nation's call to serve God and Country; those who are giving their happiness, their youthful vitality, and their life blood to preserve life, liberty, and democracy on the earth; to those former Hopeites, we, the Class of Nineteen Hundred Fortyfour, dedicate our 1943 MILESTONE.

In this edition of the MILESTONE, we have attempted to portray the various phases of student life, both curricular and extra-curricular, experienced during the unusual academic year of 1942-1943. This is the first complete school year in which our nation has been at war since 1918. This past year has seen many changes on the American College Campus, and Hope College has been in no way an exception. W e have seen our student body grow smaller week by week as approximately one hundred fifty men left their college studies to serve in the armed forces of our country. As members of the staff producing this yearbook, we have endeavored to present these changes within the pages of this volume as they have affected our college life throughout the past academic year. Producing a yearbook under these changing conditions has presented its difficulties and trialsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;at the end of the first semester it was found necessary to reduce our plans considerably to conform to such wartime exigencies; the business staff similarly experienced the consequences of these wartime circumstances. However, we have altered our layouts accordingly, and now present to you our revised W a r Edition of the MILESTONEâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; we hope you will like it. T H E EDITORS

OUR PRESIDENT

WYNAND WICKERS

Dr. W y n a n d Wichers, w h o received his A.B. f r o m Hope, his M.A. f r o m the University of Michigan, his Litt.D. f r o m Rutgers, and was made a K n i g h t of the O r d e r of O r a n g e Nassau by Queen W i l h e l m i n a of the Netherlands, has been President of H o p e College since 1931. A f t e r teaching history at H o p e for several years, Dr. Wichers left the campus and entered into business. Later he was called back to H o p e to serve as President of the College. Probably the paramount achievement of Dr. Wichers' service to the College has been his tireless efforts towards the planning, financing, and construction of the N e w Science Building which was dedicated last fall. Friends and alumni of H o p e College will long look upon the presidency of D r . Wichers as an outstanding contribution to the success of this institution of higher learning.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES T h e Board of Trustees is more than a shadowy name

cause the army and navy are taking over the edu-

with which to frighten little coeds. It is the mainspring, the final authority, of the college; it is a g r o u p of f a i t h f u l and hard-working men and women,

cation of most of the young men of Hope, interest centered on new courses for women, practical courses such as pre-nursing chemistry, household physics, and secretarial work. A course in h o m e economics

giving generously of time and money, whose unfailing interest and sound, careful judgments make H o p e College the alive and progressive institution which it is. T h e Board of Trustees is made up of nine members elected by the General Synod of the Reformed Church in America and two members f r o m each classis in the Particular Synods of Chicago and Iowa. President of the Board this year was D r . John Dykstra. Rev. Jacob Prins was elected to the vice-presidency to serve for Rev. Henry Ter Keurst, w h o is

has also been tentatively discussed, but no definite plans have been made f o r this. T h e trustees face the difficult situations ahead with the firm determination to carry H o p e through to even wider fields of service.

D E A N A N D OFFICE PERSONNEL T h e faculty works, and the students work harder, but the dean, the registrar and the rest of the office personnel just sit around all day and run the place. Diminutive Elizabeth Lichty, D e a n of W o m e n , has her finger in more pies than anybody can count.

As dean, she takes a sympathetic interest in the

personnel, vocational, and academic problems of the girls of the college, giving unsparingly of her time f o r individual conferences with all new girls, and with any girl w h o wants to talk over a problem with her.

Every spring

she writes out dozens of carefully t h o u g h t out recommendations for senior girls. She is an ex officio m e m b e r of W . A. L. and W . A, A. boards, of faculty committees on social affairs and on student g u i d a n c e ; she is an advisor to Alcor, the Voorhees-Van Vleck house-board, and French C l u b l in her stride such extra-curricular activities as knitting

She takes

f o r a brand-new

nephew, a full social calendar, and p l a n n i n g meals for the d o r m while Mrs. Van Zomeren is sick! T h e row of letters after her n a m e stand for a Bachelor of Arts degree f r o m Lake Forest College, and Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees f o r m the University of Wisconsin. Head man in the upstairs office is white-haired T h o m a s E. W e l m e r s , Registrar, who earned an A.B. degree f r o m H o p e , and a B.D. f r o m Princeton, spent a year of post-graduate study there, and also did a year and a half of graduate work at the University of Berlin, in Germany.

" T h o s s y " is t h e man w h o

attends to such matters as matriculation and credits. He's the man w h o tangles and untangles schedules, the final authority in academic p r o g r a m s ; he tells the freshmen how many hours they may carry, and the seniors whether they have credits enough to graduate or not. reams of

T h e files in his new office contain

fascinating i n f o r m a t i o n about everybody on

campus.

F r o m his

tower he rules the fates of the student body, and not even a broken arm impairs his brusque efficiency! Secretary to the president is M i l d r e d Schuppert's official title, but that only covers a small part of her duties. She reigns supreme in the main office. She is reception clerk and tuition taker. She sells bluebooks f o r Y, cashes checks, keeps accounts in a big book, writes receipts, keeps track of everybody f r o m Charlie the janitor to Prexy, and answers thousands of questions about everything on campus f o r everybody on c a m p u s â&#x20AC;&#x201D; i n fact, as the saying goes, " W h e n in doubt, ask M i l l i e ! "

T h i s is all incidental to her real job as D r . Wichers'

secretary, but it never seems to p e r t u r b her.

She has a cheerful smile and a

h e l p f u l word for all w h o enter the office. " M i l l i e " is part of the college in more ways than one, for she is an O r a n g e and Blue alumna, possessing an A.B. degree f r o m H o p e . Mary Bolema, general factotum of the upstairs office, also has an A.B. degree f r o m H o p e . Mary is officially Personnel Secretary, but, as with " M i l l i e ' s " job, that's just the beginning.

As Personnel Secretary, she writes letters to all

prospective students, keeps files for them, and takes care of other personnel w o r k ; as assistant to the Registrar, she makes out transcripts; as secretary to the Army, the Navy and the Marines, she takes care of correspondence and records for Doc Raymond and the W a r ( P i l o t ) T r a i n i n g Service; she is also connected with the N a t i o n a l Youth Administration and serves as stenographer and typist for the faculty in general.

In addition she carries on an involved

and lengthy correspondence with a certain person in the Army Medical Corps, It takes up her spare time. 11

D E P A R T M E N T OF BUSINESS A D M I N I S T R A T I O N T o prepare students f o r work in the field of business and law, the D e p a r t m e n t of Economics and Business Administration offers a variety of courses. Classes are given in economics, social organization of industry, industrial geography, business organization and administration, history of economic development, history and theory of finance, government and economics, accounting, business law, labor problems, taxation, and insurance and consumer relations. Dr. Edward D. D i m n e n t is head of the department. This dignified, genial friend and advisor held the position of college president f r o m 1918 to 1931. It was through his unrelenting efforts that the construction of the stately H o p e Memorial Chapel was made possible. Accounting instructor, Bernard J. Arendshorst, held the position of clerk of the d r a f t board. Soon after school started "Bernie" was promoted to state auditor of d r a f t books and Daniel J. Z w e m e r took over his class. T h e class met at various hours

of the day until they became "early birds" in the spring, and held the distinction of being the only class on the campus to meet at seven o'clock in the m o r n i n g . T h e Department of Business Administration gives excellent training to those students w h o are entering business, and an expert background for those w h o intend to study law.

1943 was a very prosperous year for the senior education students, for none of them, particularly elementary teachers, found difficulty in securing positions. Of the twentyfive students eligible for teachers' certificates this year, only ten were elementary teachers. Of the fifteen secondary education students, ten were English m a j o r s ! T h e department of education reorganized and revamped itself this fall, and emerged in the paradoxical situation of having the juniors taking more education and the seniors less. T h e seniors received additional credit for their practise teaching.

Prof. W i n t e r

taught the juniors educational psychology on Mondays, W e d n e s d a y and Fridays, while on Tuesdays and Thursdays they all studied principles of teaching. Practice teachers in the elementary grades this year taught not just one grade, but several, and their teaching was spread throughout the whole year. Both secondary students under Mr. V a n d e r Borgh and elementary students under Miss Hawes took the new problems courses, which were closely correlated with their practice teaching.

Egbert Winter, A.M. Professor of Education

Caroline Hawes, A.B. Instructor in Education

D E P A R T M E N T OF ENGLISH A required course has two strikes against it before it comes to bat. In spite of this, freshman speech classes progress with vim, vigor and merriment through pantomimes, impersonations and conviction speeches. In advanced classes in speech and debate. Prof. Schrier consistently produces public speakers of w h o m H o p e is justly proud. English, also required of freshmen and sophomores, takes an ambitious turn at H o p e . Miss Oggel, Miss Connor, Prof. W o l t e r s and P r o f . D e Graaf not only teach freshmen g r a m m a r and punctuation, but also, attempt to lay firm foundations for f u r t h e r college studies. Advanced English courses are taught by Miss Ross and Prof. D e Graaf. In Miss Ross' absence d u r i n g the first seven weeks of the second semester,

and

Hope's

courses, but mighty up-and-coming, turns out teacherlibrarians, girls w h o can teach part-time and run a school library, too. T r u e to the name of science, the course supplements lecture periods with laboratory w o r k ; the three prospective teacher-librarians now in the department will emerge with a minor in library science.

D E P A R T M E N T OF HISTORY

Bruce M. Raymond, Ph.D. Professor of History

Metta J. Ross, A.M. Instructor in History

History and social studies became more intensely interesting to H o p e students this year and they enjoyed Milton L. Hinga, A.M. Instructor in History

courses in ancient, European, American history, cultural history, and constitutional history, government, political parties and politics, and international relationships.

Head of the department, Dr. Bruce M . Raymond, was appointed defense coordinator for the campus, and was kept busy with the Civilian Pilot Training course which was rechristened the W a r Training Service. Instruction in cultural history is given by Metta J. Ross w h o takes an enthusiastic interest in current events and in Pan-American relations. Coach Milton L. Hinga teaches history and directs athletics on the campus. This spring he took over the class in aircraft identification at the W . T. S. school.

Robert W . Cavanaugh, A.B., B.Mus., M u s . M . Instructor in Music

Mrs. W . Curtis Snow, A.B. Instructor in Music

Mrs. H . Karsten Instructor in Piano

" N o w we can make all the noise we w a n t , " sighs Mrs. Snow happily, surveying the new music building. This building, formerly the education building, is now equipped with practice pianos, rugs on the studio floors, and a superb new radio-victrola, g i f t of the men's and girls' glee clubs. T h e new building and the biggest enrollment in history, both in applied music and in theory, made this a banner year for the music department. Mrs. Snow, Prof. Cavanaugh, and Mrs. Karsten all had crowded schedules. T h e department boasts six majors: Marge Friesema and Ruth Probst in organ, Frieda Grote and Angeline Jansen in piano, and Helen T h o m p s o n and Bette M u l d e r in voice. O n May 28, two senior music students, M a r j o r i e Brouwer, soprano, and Adelaide Wandscheer, organist, gave a joint recital. M a r g e Friesema played her junior organ recital on the afternoon of Baccalaureate Sunday. H o p e music students, p e r f o r m i n g for churches, clubs, and other organizations, contribute much to the musical life of the community.

PHILOSOPHY A N D PSYCHOLOGY

W a l t e r Van Saun, Ph.D. Professor of Philosophy

E. Paul McLean, A.M. Professor of Psychology

H o p e ' s D e p a r t m e n t of Philosophy is headed by the able Dr. W a l t e r Van Saun, w h o received his A.B. f r o m Otterbein College, his A . M . f r o m the University of Cincinnati, his B.D. f r o m Bonebrake Theological Seminary, and his P h . D . also f r o m the University of Cin-

cinnati. H e initiates his beginners with Introduction to Philosophy, a sophomore course. H e next takes his juniors through courses on ancient and medieval philosophy, and completes the year with such courses as Logic, and Theism. D r . Van Saun's senior students study Ethics, a general course in philosophy of the moral l i f e ; American Philosophy; the significance of Plato in western culture; Contemporary Philosophy; and the philosophical appreciation of the aesthetic experience, or Philosophy of Art. Prof. E. Paul McLean, head of the Psychology Department received his A.B. f r o m Hope, and his A . M . f r o m Northwestern University. " M a c ' s " courses, always popular with students, begin in the sophomore year with General Psychology, which is merely a brief introduction into this mysterious subject. Prof. McLean's courses in Abnormal, Social, and Applied Psychology give students interesting case histories of psycho-pathic personalities, intelligent research into man's social and g r o u p activities, and a practical knowledge of application of psychology in everyday life.

D E P A R T M E N T OE RELIGIOUS E D U C A T I O N H o p e College is a Christian school and a number of courses in religious principles and ethics are offered. All students are required to take one course in Bible or Christian ethics each year as part of their religious training. T h e Bible chair is held by the college pastor, Rev. H e n r y Bast. Rev. Bast is a graduate of Hope, having taken an outstanding part in forensics while a student here. His courses, always lively with entertainment, are looked forward to d u r i n g the day, as hours that relieve the monotony of a day in classes. H e acts as advisor to the Y. M. C. A. and Alpha Chi groups. H e a d of the department of Religious Education is Rev. Paul E. H i n k a m p . Gas rationing prevented

his archaeology class f r o m visiting the

Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago this year. H e was chairman of the Red Cross W a r Fund Drive f o r the southern half of Ottawa county. Rev. W a l t e r V a n Saun heads the philosophy department. His course on the philosophy of Christian living f o r seniors is thought stimulating and always very popular. H e is interested in art and his classroom walls are tastefully decorated with excellent copies of famous paintings.

J. Harvey Kleinheksel, A.B., M.S., P h . D . Professor of Chemistry

W i t h the appearance of a new building in which to carry on its work, the combined Mathematics and Science departments have come through one of the busiest years in their history. Science, mathematics and war are, seemingly, kindred spirits, and students have turned more and more toward the pursuit of such studies. Oscar E. Thompson, S.B., A.M. Professor of Biology

Teunis Vergeer, A.B., M.S., Ph.D. Professor of Biology

Professors Vergeer and T h o m p s o n have had a busy session in t u r n i n g out pre-medics and biologists, and Professor Kleis has spread out in the line of physics and has included Meteorology and other "Service" items to the department's curriculum. T h e Chemistry department has maintained its high standards under the direction of Professors Van Zyl and Kleinheksel. W i e l d i n g the mystic " x " and dealing strictly in angles . . . sine and cosine, Professors Lampen, Vander Borgh, and Timmer have had their experiences in W a r t i m e Mathematics.

k Albert E. Lampen, A.B., A.M. Professor of Mathematics

Clarence E. Kleis, A.B., A.M. Professor of Physics

N o t only toward the regular H o p e students has the attention of these men been directed; they have taken several classes of Civilian Pilots under their wings and have seen to it that they knew their lessons before taking Uncle Sam's planes off the ground. In W a r and Peace H o p e ' s Science departments advance toward a greater knowledge for man. 2S

HOPE ADOPTS W A R T I M E I N N O V A T I O N S

D u r i n g the spring of 1942, H o p e made careful preparations for securing a Civilian Pilot T r a i n i n g unit for the campus with Dr. Bruce Raymond laying the g r o u n d w o r k of the project. Finally, dreams were realized when the first g r o u p of trainees was sent here last July. In the fall the C. P. T. was renamed the W a r T r a i n i n g Service, and all such trainees were A r m / enlisted men ,trained under general military supervision. U p o n completion of the present hanger construction H o p e will boast the second largest unit in the state, with facilities for training 100 pilots. As a wartime measure, American colleges are accelerating their courses, and, in June, H o p e will enter its second year of the wartime summer session; the summer sessions enable a student to complete his

regular college course in three years. Besides acceleration of regular courses, H o p e ' s summer session offers special finishing courses for teachers, such as Theory of Coaching, Rural School Curriculum, and others, as well as several special courses of advantage to the pre-military student. U n d e r wartime policy, Hope, along with other colleges throughout the nation has provided male students with compulsory physical training courses. U n d e r the direction of "Jack" Schouten, the men are given such types of physical activities as calesthenics, c o m m a n d o " training, and organized sports. T h e physical training course is considered recreational by the men of the campus, and has provided many a bright hour in the otherwise dull day of the scholar.

T h e class of 1943 is about to tace a milestone in its life. Graduation this year will be different than in years past, but it will mean as much, or more, than before. This year Uncle Sam helped to alter things so that the class of '43 is the smallest class of graduates to leave H o p e in many a year. Smallness in number, however, meant greatness in accomplishment. This was the first class to win the pull across Black River for both years. It named outstanding athletesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Harvey K o o p headed the football team, supported by three fellow seniors; Padnos, Stall and Schaap. Ets K l e i n j a n s was captain of the M I A A championship basketball team. T h e class claimed forensic honors too, with Cal D e Vries taking part in a w i n n i n g national debate contest held by the American Economic Association. Andy Veldhuis, Clinton Harrison, and Corinne Poole were outstanding debators. A d d i n g to these, unforgotten memories will be the musical voice of Marge Brouwer and the tripping piano fingers of Barbara Dee Folensbee. T h e class of '43 claims twelve W h o ' s W h o members, thirteen Blue Key men, five Alcor girls, and many others who so nobly served their class and school, and are now serving, or are about to serve their country. T o the class of '43 we sayâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Hope's gain was your gain but now your gain is H o p e ' s loss.

postponed a week, (you guessed i t â&#x20AC;&#x201D; r a i n ) , it was held the Friday a f t e r n o o n of H o m e coming week end. From the banks of Black River many alumni watched the frosh triumphantly make sophs "all w e t " .

W O M E N ' S ACTIVITIES LEAGUE W . A. L. is T H E women's organization on the campus. T h e W o m e n ' s Activities League is truly democratic, for every co-ed can be a member. T h e W . A. L, Board is made u p of girls representing a cross section of the women's organizations of the college. W i t h Barbara Dee Folensbee occupying the chair, W . A. L. faced W a r time realities and brought the campus through another socially successful year in spite of rationing. Assisting President Folensbee were Vice President Louise Becker, Secretary Dorothy Wichers, and Treasurer Mildred Timmer. T h i n g s started rolling the first day of school when each girl received a booklet which welcomed her to college and revealed the year's activities and what she could expect. T h e n came the Orientation Tea to acquaint the new girls with everyone else and make everyone feel at home.

Barbara Folensbee President

A new feature for W . A. L. this year was the D e f e n s e Program, and the Bond and Stamp Campaign. Some girls donated their time to sell Bonds and Stamps at the local stores and banks as well as on the campus. That the College Bond Campaign was also well supported was indicated by the sales which topped the $1000.00 goal set up. Another successful venture was the Penny Carnival of h o m e talent held in the gym. All the proceeds of this affair were turned over to the Red Cross, netting them about $65.00. May Day again gave every student and faculty member a voice in the selection of the queen and her court. This spring event climaxed the year's activities. T h u s W . A. L.'s adventures ended only to begin again with a new Board, new officers and a new Queen to reign over the course of events that shall never die but live on and on.

1942-43 had, as did all other

functions on H o p e ' s campus, a rocky road to travel. Yet a staff that was continually changing because of war's exigencies carried on to give the school excellent news coverage, good

features, and stirring edi-

torials. In September, the staff was headed by Editor Milton V e r b u r g and Associate Editors, Mary Blair and Roger Koeppe. This trio prepared the foundation for the year's work and brought in a capable staff to carry out the plans. D a n Fylstra was the "big wheel " in the N e w s Room while W e n d y Rameau handled the "Society Page". Bill Moerdyk was the busy little man with a hand full of ads and a constant headache in the "try-tomake-ends-meet" department. For features (those extra little things that make a paper worth reading) Ruth Van Bronkhorst rounded up articles covering everything f r o m "Keyhole peeping at Voorhees" to the Measles epidemic and Prof. W i n t e r ' s fishing escapades.

PHYLLIS V A N DUZER BUSINESS-MANAGER

T h r o u g h o u t the year, and more so in the final stages of the last semester, typewriters have been clanging and drawing boards have been busy in an attempt to give Milestone readers full coverage on the year's activities. This has been an unique year in the history of H o p e College . . . one of great successes and great losses, and it is hoped by the staff members that their endeavors to convey the spirit and mood

of H o p e ' s march toward victory will meet with universal approval. W e have felt, greatly, the loss of many w h o were to have contributed to the success of this publication, but we have considered our loss as Uncle Sam's gain, and those w h o have remained have filled the breech. This much we know . . . the recipe for a war-time yearbook is: Fifteen per-cent spirit . . . Ten per-cent inspiration . . . Seventy-five per-cent perspiration.

"May the product be worthy

of the labor". In the early part of the fall, Editor-in-Chief Larry Beltman set up his machinery for the present yearbook publication, and the 1943 Milestone looked forward to the success it so earnestly desired. LAURENCE BELTMAN EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Y O U N G WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION W i t h a top-notch membership of 120, Y. W . has completed one of its most inspirational and successful years. First came Orientation week with Big Sisters, a beach party, and the all-college skating partyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all to make the freshmen feel at home and begin many new friendships. T h e impressive candle-lit Recognition Meeting came next, followed by many other interesting meetingsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;student or faculty-led sessions, quizzes, f o r u m discussions, fireside chats and talks by well-known missionaries. U n d e r the leadership of President Florence Dykema and Vice-president Janet Clark, with the help of Lois Mary H i n k a m p w h o kept the records, Marian Sandee who handled finances, and the untiring efforts of Miss Gibbs as faculty adviser, Y. W . undertook many special projects. T h e r e was the Christmas box sent to Dulce, N e w Mexico, the Victory Book Campaign for men in the service, the "penny-a-meal-during-Lent" drive for the W o r l d Student Service Fund, and the sponsoring of the Chinese Art exhibit for students at the N e t h e r l a n d s Museum.

T h e annual mission drive directed this year for

the mission school at Annville, Kentucky, brought in $700, and as a result many long desired books reached Annville and were the start of a new library there. Prayer Week, another joint Y project, was under the leadership of D r . John E. Kuizenga of Princeton University, w h o inspired many both with his challenging p l a t f o r m talks and in the numerous personal conferences held d u r i n g the day. Facing a new year now, prospects f o r Y. W . are bright, with the need for its program of developing body, mind, and spirit made even more evident in a world of change and confusion.

Y O U N G MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION A l t h o u g h handicapped by the departure of a great percentage of its members to the armed forces, the Y M C A this year succeeded in carrying out to a great extent its regular activities. U n d e r the leadership of President A l f r e d Borgman, assisted by Vice-President Daniel Fylstra (succeeded after his February graduation by Roger R i e t b e r g ) , Secretary Calvin D e Vries, and Treasurer Leonard Sibley, the year was successfully opened with a m e m b e r s h i p drive which gained 110 members. T h e main feature of the Y p r o g r a m is, of course, t h e weekly Tuesday evening meeting. These periods of fellowship f u r n i s h e d a large part of the spiritual contribution of the Y M .

T h i s year in the Mission Drive the students of H o p e College pledged over

$700 to f u r n i s h the library at the A n n v i l l e Institute in Kentucky. D r . Kuizenga made Prayer W e e k an inspiring experience t h r o u g h his sincere messages and his pleasant personality. T h e Chapel was filled on Easter m o r n i n g w h e n D r .

Orientation W e e k introduced the f r e s h m e n to H o p e apd m a d e them feel at h o m e here. Chief feature along this line of campus service was the ever-present task of keeping up-to-date the bulletin board carrying the names and addresses of f o r m e r H o p e students now serving their country. A n d so the Y M C A carried on a full, well-rounded p r o g r a m d u r i n g the past year— serving mind, body, and spirit. W h a t the f u t u r e will b r i n g we do not know.

But of

this we can be s u r e — n o matter how small the g r o u p becomes, the essential spirit will remain, and will still inspire Y members in their endeavor to carry out the Y m o t t o — " M a k e Christ K i n g of the C a m p u s . "

Money was not their only thought. T h e Alcor girls, with Mrs. W . C. Snow and Miss E. Oggel as patronesses and Dean E. E. Lichty as faculty advisor, went in for f u n and more of it. Their business meetings were always followed by a social gathering. Their main social event of the year was the informal dinner party, held at Mrs. Snow's home. Alcor is proud of the part she plays on H o p e ' s campus. T h o u g h her members are few their efforts are great.

The exigencies of the war as they relate to colleges over the country, did not affect the success of our H o p e College Chapter of Blue Key. U n d e r the guidance of Professor Lampen, faculty advisor, and President D o n D e Fouw we are about to conclude a really banner year for Blue Key Chapters on our campus. In keeping with the tradition and ideals of Blue Key our year has been one of service to the college and student body. O u r year was initiated by publishing a Student Guide, containing h o m e and college addresses of all students, plus telephone numbers. The Guide was financed purely by advertisements and given gratis to students. W i t h the sports season getting under way, we printed Football Game Programs for all games . . . financed by both advertisements and a small sale price. For the basketball games, programs, score sheets, etc., were printed and distributed free of charge. Possibly our outstanding activity, for ourselves and for the campus centered in the Blue Key College Bookstore . . . making available to students at the earliest dates and all times, text books and other necessary equipment.

BLUE KEY

From these various activities considerable profit accrued to the chapter. In fact our profit for this year totaled to over three times the amount of profit made during any previous year. In keeping with our tradition we are returning it to our Alma Mater in the way of a gift. T h e g i f t we shall leave this year is a prominent share in a new landscaped quadrangle being constructed on our campus. T h e war did not leave our chapter entirely untouched. D u r i n g the course of the year Messrs. Koop, Padnos, Verberg and Lokker were called into the armed services; and Clinton Harrison left for Johns Hopkins University. At mid-semester three new members were accepted into Blue Key: Messrs. D e Vries, Kleinjans, and Mulder. Shortly after, our annual spring party was held. Rather than having a formal dinner party, Blue Key men met with their guests in one of the local fraternity houses for a banquet and evening of informal entertainment and f u n . T h o u g h the future seems indefinite, we look forward to continued success and service to the college for Blue Key on our campus. W e believe that this year has set a most worthy precedent for Blue Key in the history of H o p e College.

MUSICAL ARTS

For a two-year-old, Musical Arts is a most precocious child. T h e club sponsored four vesper services, on the first Sunday of November, December, March, and May. T h e free-will offering f r o m the first three of these, which amounted to fifty dollars, was given to the Red Cross. At the end of the year the club turned over its treasury of almost twenty dollars to the music department for the purchase of records. Special music, both vocal and instrumental, could be supplied f o r almost any occasion by the Musical Arts array of talent. Musical Arts met the third W e d n e s d a y of every month at Five o'clock. T h e programs gave students a chance to p e r f o r m to a critical but sympathetic audience before displaying their art to the general public. Students w h o have taken applied music and

Off the record comments by faculty sponsors Mrs. Snow and Mr. Cavanaugh enlivened many a meeting. Esprit de corps . . . joie de vivre . . . name it and the Girls' Glee Club had it. W i t h Mrs. Snow as director, the girls had a lot of f u n . . . frequent potluck suppers (before rationing) . . . and did a lot of work . . . two, sometimes three rehearsals a week . . . Mil T i m m e r was president of the club, M a r j o r i e Brouwer wielded the secretary's quill, and Dottie Wichers made the treasurer's reports.

T h e Glee Club sang at First Church, at H o p e Church, and at T h i r d C h u r c h ; they sang f o r several vesper and chapel services. Their busy year culminated in a concert on the twentieth of May, with an unusual program honoring the Allied Nations, and containing songs f r o m Russia, China, England, Norway, and the United States of America. T h e Chapel Choir began the year with a flourish and a solid bass section. T h e choir sang for vesper services, and whenever a particularly impressive chapel service was desired.

Early in the first semester, the Choir made recordings of two anthems, and were pleasantly proud of themselves. Later in the year student directors Murray Snow and John Kleis left for the service, to be replaced by Edna Blom and Adelaide Wandscheer. Slowly the ranks of the tenors and basses thinned to a mere h a n d f u l , until Mr. Cavanaugh was drivn to putting low altos in the tenor section.

PRE-PROFESSIONAL SCALPEL CLUB T h e Scalpel Club, an organization of the pre-medical students of the campus, went into its second year last fall with renewed ambitions to fulfill its two fold purpose: to integrate the common interests of the biology majors and the pre-medical students on H o p e ' s campus, and to supplement classroom studies with added knowledge useful to the prospective profession of the club membership. T h e Scalpel Club began its year's activities with the election of Clarence Vandervelde as President. Chosen to assist him was N o r m Davis w h o was elected Vice President. Filling the position of scribe was Persis Parker, while Bob Heneveld controlled finances as Treasurer. Scalpel C l u b programs consist of individual research papers and lectures by outstanding authorities in the medical profession or in the field of biology. Highlights of the year's programs were Dr. H a r o l d Dykhuizen's lecture on the "Social and Cultural Aspect of the Medical Profession", and an open f o r u m led by the noted author Paul D e Kruif at the last meeting of the school year. CHEMISTRY CLUB T h e Chemistry Club boasts the highest standards of any pre-professional club on H o p e ' s campus. T h e membership of Chem Club is restricted to those students preparing for graduate work in chemistry w h o have a high scholastic average and are recommended by professors in the Chemistry Department. Programs f o r club meetings consist of papers, presented by the various members, containing exhaustive research on some topic in the field of chemistry. U n d e r the leadership of President Earl D e W i t t , Vice President Gordon Schrotenboer, and Secretary-Treasurer Gradus Schoemaker, the Chemistry Club began its year's activities. Meeting every other W e d n e s d a y afternoon, C h e m Club provided hours of stimulating research material for H o p e ' s Chem students. Junior and sophomore members of the C h e m Club must be ready to prepare a research paper before the organization upon assignment to do so, while seniors must be ready to prepare a full lecture for a club meeting upon request. For the preservation of the outstanding papers of the Chem Club, files are maintainedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;indeed, it is considered an honor to have a research paper selected for the Chem club files. ALPHA CHI T h e student f o r the Christian ministry in the chaotic world of today and the even more chaotic world of tomorrow is faced with many problems. T o aid future ministers in overcoming practical problems of the ministry and thus to make their spiritual service more effective. Alpha Chi, or the Messengers of Christ, hear addresses and discussions relating to the professional life and problems of the ministry. T h e speakers are usually local ministers, seminary professors, and men outstanding in the Reformed Church. Included on this year's program were Rev. K r u i t h o f , w h o spoke o n the pastor's library and the use of literature in sermons; Dr. Goulooze, w h o spoke o n filing systems and demonstrated his very complete set-up; George Douma, synodical missionary; and Henry Ten Clay, a graduate of Western Seminary, Class of '42. A f t e r the addresses, there was usually a period of open discussion and questioning, at which time refreshments were served. Officers for this year were Calvin D e Vries, president; LeRoy Sandee, vice-president; H a r l a n d Steele, secretary-treasurer; Robert W i l d m a n and Edward De Young, committeemen at large.

HOMECOMING

T h e twelfth annual H o m e c o m i n g events, under the cochairmenship of Millie T i m m e r and A1 W e e n i n k , followed the theme of " H o p e for Victory, and Victory for H o p e . " T h e celebration opened officially on the college athletic field, Friday night, October 23. A Giant pep meeting taking the place of the patriotically eliminated float parade, was staged under the direction of Master-of-ceremonies G e o r g e Lumsden. In the light of a m a m m o t h bonfire, 'mid wind, rain and snow, cheers and songs were led by A1 Rypstra; and music supplied by a mock German band under the leadership of Bob Snow. D r . W i c h e r s and Coach H i n g a braved the storm to speak a few encouraging words. M e m b e r s of the football team were introduced along with a few remarks from Captain Harvey Koop. Saturday m o r n i n g was reserved for society breakfasts and luncheons. Saturday afternoon Queen Edith Klaaren and

her court were ceremoniously escorted to the football field w h e r e H o p e ' s D u t c h m e n battled with the Albion Britons. T h e team put u p a good fight for u s â&#x20AC;&#x201D; b u t in vain. Climaxing the weekend's activities was the big Alumni banquet held in Carnegie Gym. T h e guest speaker of the evening was D r . Fredrick Yonkman, professor at the College of Medicine of W a y n e University. O t h e r features of the program of which Clinton Harrison, Student Council President, was master-of-ceremonies, were selections by the T r o m b o n e Quartette, remarks by D r . W i c h e r s and music by Bob Scheerhorn and the orchestra. Decorations for the affair were in keeping with the theme for the Homecoming activities. A red, white, and blue false ceiling of crepe paper converged to an American flag in the center. T h e walls were trimmed with insignias of the various service branches. Alumni and students alike enjoyably shared in this festive occasion, which marked the last H o m e c o m i n g for the duration.

Voogd finished with the highest average while Kleinjans bowled the highest single game and the highest three games. Bill Midavaine had charge of the league this year and did a very efficient job. All the games were rolled at the new H o l l a n d Recreation Club and the new alleys seemed to inspire the boys because the averages were higher than last year and a lot more fellows participated. There were twelve teams in the league. T h e Seminary had one, the Fraters two, the Knicks two, the Emmies three, and the Cosmos four.

Breakfast hikes, horseback riding, and tennis were a few of the many activities to be enjoyed by Hope's coeds during the bright autumn days. T h e usual M I A A play day, which has always been one of W . A. A.'s outstanding activities, had to be canceled this year because of "international affairs". Swimming, also, had to be omitted because of the lack of transportation. W h e n "old man winter" came rolling 'round the corner, Carnegie gymnasium became the center of attraction as far as athletics were concerned. Starting off with a volleyball tournament, the girls began to get themselves in condition for basketball, which followed in close succession. Many thrills were to be had, along with the spills and sprained ankles, as the girls engaged themselves wholeheartedly in this popular activity. Many of the games were "real thrillers", with Ruiter's Sharpshooters coming out on top, champions in this basketball tournament. 86

ATHLETIC DEBT DIGGERS

Perhaps the "hardest-work", "least-credit" club on the campus is the A. D. D., the Athletic Debt Diggers. This organization, composed of girls f r o m each sorority, earns a good part of the money that keeps the athletic programs going. Clad in their orange and blue sweaters these co-eds willingly oblige hungry sports fans with refreshments. Moreover, they show that they enjoy their work by giving each customer a smile, without charge of course! All the proceeds g o f o r athletic equipment, athletic awards, including blankets for the senior male athletes, and the W o m e n ' s Athletic Association. Each year, usually in May, the girls have a dinner, at which the new members are chosen. These new members represent each sorority and are members of the freshman class. At the spring banquet the new

officers are also chosen. D u r i n g the past year the g r o u p has been under the capable leadership of Syd MacGregor. T h e A. D. D. is indeed one of the unique clubs on the campus. Their motto is "Service", for the athletic department and for each individual on the campus. Hope's head cheer-leader last year was A1 "I can't hear ya!" Rypstra.

THETA GAMMA PI W a r m Friend when the winter formal appears decked out as "June in January." Strange phenomenon gives weird tone to atmosphere •—snow man burns.

T i m e switches to February. Comic Valentines on parade. N i n e innocent pledges experience the pitfalls of informal initiation. Tenseness pervades the scene. Occasionally a scream is heard. Later a calm and composed group enters f r o m left and, taking their vows, pledges are formally recognized as new Thesaurians. Mystery hovers over the next scene. Who-willbe-the-next-president? An anxious g r o u p awaits the verdict. Soon the mystery is solved. Lois K o o p m a n takes over to succeed Adelaide Wandscheer. Ellen Giebel presents the secretary's record to Ruth Time;

Sound effects: swish, swash; moan, groan. Scrubbing's begun and Theta G a m m a Pi is moving in! Enter f r o m right: T h e Paint Brigade lead by Josie of the Paint Pail and the H a p p y Hangers. A bit of suspense is injected because of tottering ladders—a bit of mirth on account of how paint does get about! A n d Bings—the curtain rises on the first thrilling scene in the second year of Thesaurian. Rising action appears in the f o r m of a multitude of newcomers approaching in the distance. D o w n stage a voice bursts into song with "Come to the Fair", and the Round Robin is in full swing. Soft music and candle light set the scene at the

A n n Poppen as Eleanor Schoonmaker bestows the vice-presidency to Ellen. Dorothea Dixon replaces Jean Vander W e g e as treasurer. Patriotism flares high as the somber figure of war stalks on stage. Frequently the scene shifts to the Red Cross headquarters where Thesaurians fold bandages. Come spring and the call of the out-of-doors. Thesaurians plan informal party at " T h e M o o r i n g . " Some enthusiasts bike it. Inter-sorority baseball is also a party of the season's program. Scenes close for the year with farewells to all— especially to Adelaide and Eleanor, two veteran stars w h o are going to be missed. Next year we're looking ahead to other days of f u n and fellowship together.
