Chapel Services Provide Inspiration MEMORIAL CHAPEL Our chapel, built in beautiful Gothic style, symbolizes the spirit of Hope. All services and activities held within its walls elevate and enrich the lives of Hope's students. As the many duties of college life crowd upon each other, the few quiet moments for devotions before classes become increasingly important. During the past year o u t s t a n d i n g s p e a k e r s f r o m Venezuela, Brazil, the Netherlands, Philippines, Japan, and the ever changing sites of migrant camps stimulated interest in c u r r e n t p r o b l e m s . Musical vesper services on Sunday afternoons and concerts by such artists as Roland Hayes and members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra were held in its spacious auditorium. Here, too, the Seniors walked slowly down the aisle to receive their diplomas in the impressive graduation ceremony in June.
One of the most inspiring c h a p e l s e r v i c e s of the year featured Lt. James C. Whittaker, who had spent twentyone tortuous days aboard a life raft in the vast Pacific with Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker and six other members of a B-29 crew. H e told the d r a m a t i c story of his discovery of God and the power of prayer through this harrowing experience.
I GRAVES HALL
Graves, the nucleus of campus life, is a beehive of activity from 8:00 in the morning until 9:00 at night. As the seat of administration, it houses the offices of president, treasurer, business manager, and director of admissions. Of interest to all students, especially whin marks are in the offing, is the office of the registrar. Even classrooms have their place. For research and knowledge, the library offers its ivealth of information to all.

College Plans Expansion Program W i t h the prospect of a rapidly increasing enrollment for the coming year, H o p e College authorities have been discussing plans not only for the immediate necessities, but also with a long range view toward permanent campus improvements. Buildings for classrooms, dormitories, and dining halls have been leased or purchased to meet the new demands.
classrooms and corridors and new wainscoting on the walls are included in the plans for interior remodeling. Some of the classrooms will be changed over to provide all faculty members with offices for conferences and counseling. One of the most urgent permanent needs is a new women's dormitory. Plans for a building housing 150 women have been drawn up, and construction will begin as soon as materials are available. C a r n e g i e G y m n a s i u m will undergo renovation according to the present plan. It will be enlarged and modernized to meet the demands of an athletically-minded student body.
T h e East Junior High School will house a ground school for flyers as well as for other classes. To meet the needs of the expanding music department, the W a l s h home on Ninth Street will be taken over. A men's dormitory for 124 students and twenty-four one-family units for married students have been allotted to the college by the Federal Housing Authority. It is anticipated that one additional dining hall will also be needed for the year.
Graves Libary is also due for some changes in the future. An entirely new building will be erected, while the present library will be used only for administration. The general campus appearance will be beautified by a complete landscaping operation. From a brief sketch of these plans, it is apparent that H o p e is preparing for expansion, first on the temporary level, but later on a permanent basis. Thus we look forward to a greater and more modern Alma Mater.
First on the schedule of permanent improvements is t h e complete redecorating and remodeling of Van Raalte Hall. T h e main entrance, which is to face north, will eliminate much of the congestion in the vestibule by rerouting the stairs and making the corridors lighter. Tile floors in the

In memory of Dorothy Vander Woude, a 19-year-old member of the present sophomore class, who was the victim of a fatal accident which ocrurred August 8, 1945 in Oak Harbor, Washington.
Not without sorrows, not without a tear Can I regard the hopelessness of life. The jumbled puzzle of the mortal strife Now sad, now melancholy, now with cheer, Ever changing through the changeless years. I still can hear the child's laugh, e'er life Was filled with struggle; but now drums and fife Play as a youth is borne on youthful bier. How useless life is, how unfair the hand That plucked the half-oped rose. A life arrayed In youth is over e'er 'twas half begun. God does not ask that we should understand. Or reason, but He does give faith to pray "Not our will. Lord, not ours, but Thine be done." — G e r t r u d e Vredeveld
W e Dedicate These Reflections . . . " A mind to counsel, a heart to sympathise, and a hand to h e l p " are qualities which have endeared D r . Edward D i m n e n t to all w h o have associated with him d u r i n g his fortynine years of noteworthy service to H o p e College. As professor of Hope, his A l m a Mater, he has imparted his genius into every phase of college activity. D u r i n g his presidency of H o p e (19181931) Doctor D i m e n e n t ' s executive prowess was instrumental in d o u b l i n g H o p e ' s enrollment, while greatly enlarging the College faculty. W i t h unlimited energy he also stimulated special interest in music and missions. O n e of the outstanding achievements of his presidency was the erection of H o p e Memorial Chapel, completely designed by Doctor D i m n e n t . Since 1931, D r . D i m n e n t has been head of the D e p a r t m e n t of Business Administration. A master of composition. D r . D i m n e n t has contributed several exemplary writings to literary circles. Foremost a m o n g them is his poetic interpretation of the Book of fob, and the seventy-fifth anniversary pageant, The Pilgrim.

Dr. Lubbers Presides Over Hope's Campus
DR. IRWIN J. LUBBERS W i t h a sincere interest in student welfare and a manner tinged with unexpected bits of humor Dr. Irwin J. Lubbers has impressed the students and faculty of H o p e College.
^393 IsAlwA 1 -iys
Bus
Serving as Hope's sixth president, Dr. Lubbers has proved his ability as an efficient executive. In addition to his record as ' Prexy," he had already distinguished himself at H o p e in various fields. As a student he gained recognition as a persuasive orator and a hard-hitting baseball star. For six years he demonstrated his pedagogical art as a H o p e professor. A veteran of W o r l d W a r I, Dr. Lubbers is wellqualified to understand the needs and interests of the great influx of servicemen to the campus. His past experience as a missionary in both India and China has also heightened his interest in missionary activity. Throughout the year Dr. Lubbers has authorized several noteworthy changes on campus — from the institution of the cottage plan of dormitories to the renovation of Van Raalte Hall. In the coming terms Hopites will witness new additions to the landscape, for Dr. Lubbers has approved architectural plans for several new buildings. Hope College anticipates other successful years ahead with Dr. Lubbers serving as its chief executive.

FACULTY INTRODUCTION Within the past year definite changes have been visible in the faculty of H o p e College. Along with an increase in the number of faculty members came the "streamlining" of the faculty organization by Hope's new president, Dr. Irwin J. Lubbers. Six working committees were formed in order to promote greater efficiency and to give the students a greater opportunity to contact the professors. The Administrative Committee is responsible for all the problems of administration and discipline, while the Educational Policies Committee has as its purpose the definition of the goals of Hope. The Student Direction Committee cares for the religious, scholastic, and social life of the students. The Never Ending Reception Line
24
and the Faculty Library Committee, the Music Committee, and the Athletic Committee each administer in their respective fields. During the year the faculty wives organized a club which is known as the "Faculty Dames." On February 14, after one of Hope's basketball games, the " D a m e s " entertained the students in Carnegie Gymnasium with fun, food, and frolic. It may be clearly seen that Hope's faculty is united in spirit and endeavor to accomplish one task — that of helping H o p e students and guiding them towards lives of Christian service to God and country.

Seniors Come to Close of College Career Great Allied Losses! T h e Philippines H a v e Fallen! These were the shocking words which greeted the ears of American people in the fall of 1942, when 187 members of the Class of '46 entered the portals of H o p e . T h e outlook was n o n e too bright f o r the freshman class and the other members of the student body, f o r every day familiar faces were disappearing f r o m the campus. H o p e ' s boys were g o i n g to war! SENIOR OFFICERS Gerrit Levey Treasurer Betty Fuller Secretary Alice Laughlin President Jim M u d d l e /Vice-President
T h e f r e s h m e n played an important part, however, in boosting the morale of H o p e ' s d w i n d l i n g population. W i n n i n g the last " p r e - w a r " frosh-soph pull through Black River unified the members of the class and aroused a great deal of spirit. Their enthusiasm was little dulled by the loss of the Nykerk C u p Contest by only one point. Any disappointment was more than counteracted by their w i n n i n g the cup the f o l l o w i n g year. T h e t r a d i t i o n a l junior class project, the M I L E S T O N E , was carried out with equal enthusiasm and success. But lighter moments came, too, with hayrides and parties in the gym. W i t h their surrender, Messrs. Hitler and T o j o gave the members of the senior class one year in which to see what college life is really like in peace time. T h e war is over; the boys are back; and now the g r a d u a t i n g class passes f r o m college life into a world of challenge and promise.

W i t h a record year f o r difficulties, the Milestone staff was g r a t e f u l f o r its master problem-solvers, D r . Clarence D e G r a a f , adviser, and N e i l Steketee, printer. A peacetime complication, the increasing enrollment, had Phyl Haskin in a daze, trying to get everyone's class picture taken. A d e Bos, w h o returned to college second semester, almost took pictures in his sleep to finish the photography, unavoidably much behind schedule.
"Tammy," as art editor, and Bill Haak, manager of a particularly successful business staff, had fewer troubles, but Rozy, assistant editor (Dead-line D o r a to the s t a f f ) , developed a pathetic look which could have w r u n g a delayed write-up f r o m the Great Stone Face, while Luella, as editor, did everything f r o m p i n n i n g u p a backdrop with bobby-pins to wearing out the Van Vleck fire escape in the wee hours of the morning.

Milestone JUNIOR CLASS Entering into the fun of postwar college years, the juniors depicted wartime H o p e as their part of the Homecoming parade, complete with girl football players. At the Freshman Mixer in the fall, a quartette exemplified the lofty aspirations of the class by singing "The Firemen's Ball." And in March we had a super hayride (the first of the season) with the Haverkamps a n d t h e m a r r i e d people of the class as chaperones.

Sophomores Were SOPHOMORE CLASS It was clearly visible last September that the sophs had lost n o n e of their class spirit d u r i n g the summer m o n t h s and were again " r a r i n g to g o . " T h e i r ingenuity produced a clever comedy and entertaining minstrel show f o r the first mixer of the year. Enthusiasm reached a peak w h e n the class staged parades with banners, slogans, and an effigy of a lowly f r e s h m a n .
D i g for the C l a m " — Soph Party
Pep meetings helped to build morale for the traditional pull across Black River at H o m e c o m i n g . S-o-p-h-o-m-o-r-e-s pull! 1-2, 1-2. Yeah team! A l t h o u g h the o p p o s i n g team, picked f r o m the much larger f r e s h m e n class, forced t h e m to yield, the spirit of the sopohomores remained u n d a u n t e d . Almost daily r e t u r n in g veterans joined their ranks. In fact, a great deal of the credit for H o p e ' s tying first place in the M I A A basketball c h a mp io n s h ip is d u e to sophomores on the team.

Freshmen Were Nykerk^ Pull Winners FRESHMAN "Show your g r e e n ! Show your g r e e n ! " are familiar w o r d s which greet each freshman class. T h i s year has been n o exception, and a f t e r t h e first All-College Mixer, each f r o s h , f o r a slight r e m u n e r a t i o n , was given the p r i v i l e g e ( ? ) of d o n n i n g a b e a u t i f u l green chapeau! A six-weeks n i g h t m a r e f o l l o w e d as they obediently touched the g r o u n d w i t h bow or curtsey to countless cries of "Pot, Frosh." A l t h o u g h only newcomers, the class of '49 proved that it was an o u t s t a n d i n g one in m a n y fields. O n N o v e m b e r 19, their "red-letter day," they captured the coveted N y k e r k C u p by displaying talent in the fields of music and oratory, as well as captivating t h e audience with t h e d e l i g h t f u l comedy, "Polly Put the Kettle O n . " T o add to the excitement, a f t e r t h e contest t h e f r o s h gaily tossed their green into the r o a r i n g fire that h a d been k i n d l e d on the athletic field. H o w e v e r , on the f o l l o w i n g day several guilty " n o n - w e a r e r s - o f - t h e - g r e e n " learned that "crime does not pay." T h e week b e f o r e H o m e c o m i n g saw t h e f r e s h m e n boys d o i n g " p u s h - u p s " and "deep-knee b e n d s " on the athletic field in o r d e r to get in condition f o r the l o n g anticipated " P u l l . " All sore muscles and l a m e backs were amply rewarded, however, w h e n the sophs came t u m b l i n g and splashing t h r o u g h Black River, and the f r o s h invaded H o l l a n d ' s business section with a snake dance. A n d so, with f u n , frolic, and h a r d work the f r o s h have m a d e themselves a vital link in the chain of H o p e .

labs, the chemistry students lay the foundation for careers they intend to pursue in later life.
Composed of selected chem majors, whose ranks have recently been increased by the return of several veterans, the Chemistry Club endeavors to instruct its members in preparation for the research work many of them plan to enter.
SCALPEL CLUB
H o l d i n g few regular meetings, the members usually assemble in smaller groups in the qual, quant, and organic labs in the science building. Some of them devote two afternoons a week to assisting in the freshman lab, thereby helping other "Van Tamelens" to get their start. And so, with laughing and joking and an occasional party interspersed in the more serious work conducted in the
N o w in its fifth year. Scalpel Club has become an essential part of campus life for pre-medical, pre-nursing students, and biology majors. Though membership is restricted, many of the meetings are open to the entire student body. One of the outstanding speakers of the year was Dr. Matthew Pielen, recently returned from Germany, who emphasized the importance of the basic sciences in pre-and post-operative cases. As guests of the Ottawa County District Nurses' Association,

Scalpel Club heard Dr. S. L. Rector speak on "Trends in Control of Cancer." Later in the year Dr. Mary Lou Byrd presented to the g r o u p the advances of modern anesthesia. Papers by the students and a symposium on parthenogenesis proved that they too could stimulate interest in modern scientific developments.
ELEMENTARY TEACHERS' CLUB In the spring of 1945, a g r o u p of students interested in elementary education met in the kindergarten of W a s h i n g t o n S c h o o l to form an organization for future elementary teachers. W i t h
the able assistance of Miss Caroline Hawes, the Elementary Teachers' Club was formed. Its purpose is to give underclassmen direct contact with teachers' experiences and to promote interest in their work. T h e first meeting was a huge success. Mr. Moran, public school gym supervisor, directed a program of games for all grades. Another meeting included an interesting lecture and display of c h i l d r e n ' s l i t e r a t u r e given by the children's librarian of the Public Library. T h e club, although a new organization, promises to be an outstanding addition to our campus life.

ENGLISH MAJORS Juniors and seniors who are majoring in English literature and rhetoric find their study well complemented by lively discussions which are held once a month in English Majors Club. W i t h "Regionalism" as a theme this year, special reports were given at each meeting which introduced writers who represented a particular section of the country. A visit to the Mid-West afforded a meeting on Mark Twain and one of his "tall" stories as told by Dr. John Hollenbach. In the same way the club found occasion to study Michigan, Missouri, Illinois, and N e w England.
After the formal program, Dr. Hollenbach and Dr. Clarence D e Graaf, with their stimulating contributions, vied for attention with cakes, apples, cookies, or Boston brown bread, "because we're studying N e w England." As a special feature, on March 4, the entire club chartered a bus and traveled to Grand Rapids to see a colorful presentation of ""Macbeth" by the Civic Players.
KAPPA DELTA At the beginning of the second semester, a group of co-eds on campus felt the need of establishing a sister organization to Alpha Chi for all young women interested in Christian service. So,

with the help of A l p h a Chi, K a p p a Delta was formed. T h e charter members drew up a constitution, elected officers, and invited Mrs. Eugene Osterhaven to be their sponsor. Few regular meetings have been held as yet, but enthusiastic plans are being m a d e for the coming year. Outside speakers will acquaint the members with the opportunities in the field of Christian service, and lend a helping hand in preparing them for their f u t u r e work.
ALPHA CHI O n e of the lights which H o p e has never allowed to flicker through the many days of the war and subsequent days of the peace is the stress upon the spiritual side of life. H e l p i n g to emphasize an added spirituality is the A l p h a Chi organization.
All pre-seminary students and students interested in active Christian service are eligible to a t t e n d t h e m e e t i n g s of Alpha Chi, which are planned under the supervision of the Rev. Paul Hinkamp. T h r o u g h o u t the year inspirational and helpful talks were given on such subjects as " T h e Art of Pastoral Counseling" and " T h e Value of the N e w Testament in the Original Greek." Other speakers attempted to explain some of the problems which leaders will encounter in Christian service. Along with their regular monthly meetings. Alpha Chi has had a meeting with their sister organization. K a p p a Delta, and also has conducted several chapel services.

"Allons enfants de la patrie . . are familiar words to each H o p e Mademoiselle who has lustily sung out the refrain of La Marseillaise at every monthly meeting of "Le Cercle Francais."
Mademoiselle Nella Meyers entertained the girls at her home on two occasions — at Christmas, when the French Yuletide customs were studied, and in April, when Mr. James Prins told the group of various experiences as a G.I. in France.
T h r o u g h o u t the year well-planned meetings centering upon various industries and customs of t r a n c e produced genuine "esprit de corps" among the Club members. One of the most unusual meetings of the year featured a discussion of the perf u m e industry in France and was highlighted by a display of perfumes which were purchased in the city of Grasse by a veteran who served with the armed forces in Europe. Another topic which captivated feminine interest was a comparison of pre-

and of prison camps under ruthless SS men. Then, forsaking the issues of war, they spoke about the German people and their way of life. German cookies were served, German games played, and German songs were sung at an enjoyable meeting held at Christmas time at the home of the club adviser, Miss Laura Boyd. A German celebration of a universal holiday was the topic for discussion. In a period of prejudices and race-hatred the German Club does its part to understand a conquered enemy and devastated nation.
SPANISH CLUB This year, for the first time in the history of Hope College, a Spanish Club was formed. As an outgrowth of the informal "Cantemos" groups held in preceding years the Spanish Club continued
in this same vein of informality. "Vamanos mis amigos" was the password every first Thursday of the month, and the place for meeting was the living room of Mrs. Peter Prins, faculty adviser. T o stimulate an inierest i n / a n d a familiarity with the language, the conversation (?!!) was in Spanish. Some of the more outstanding meetings of the year included a lecture by Alyce Alderink, returned missionary f r o m Peru; a short talk by Roger Kempers, acquainting us with Mexican music and characteristics of the Spanish people, several Spanish sings, and the spring picnic at Kollens' Park. Spanish Club has attempted throughout the year to engender in its members a love for the Spanish language and a lasting interest in the Spanishspeaking countries.

CHOIR Because of the increased number of tenors and basses the choir was larger this year than during the wartime school terms. Every morning some ninety members filed into the choir loft to add their singing to the beauty of the chapel service. Besides participating in these chapel periods, our choir had occasion to sing for several special events. They sang at the Christmas vespers (a
Red Cross benefit) and again at the vesper in March. During Prayer Week the choir served by rendering special music; during February they contributed to a program celebrating the ninety-ninth anniversary of the founding of Holland. They even represented H o p e on the air, singing from Grand Rapids over a national hook-up on the Reformed Church Hour. Special mention must be made of the retiring director, Mrs. Snow, and the present director, Mr. Cavanaugh. Mrs. Snow accomplished a splendid job during Mr. Cavanaugh's period of naval service. W e thank her and say to t h e f o r m e r e n s i g n , " W e ' r e glad to see you back.''

GLEE CLUB
All Eyes O n the Director
Nineteen forty-six was an eventful year for the H o p e College Glee Club. Beginning the year with a potluck supper at Mrs. Snow's home, the older members soon became acquainted with their new nightingales. Then followed work, for invitations were streaming in from everywhere. T h e girls sang for Homecoming, vesper services, and Prayer Week, besides fulfilling the many engagements outside of our campus at the various Holland churches, the Century Club, Holland High School, and the W o m e n ' s Literary Club. These invitations, however, were not limited to Holland, for the girls traveled to Grand Rapids, Zeeland, and Muskegon. Dressed in robes, black street dresses, or formals, they sang for church services and made concert appearances, spreading good-will for Hope. In the spring came the much-talked-of "trip." Roommates were chosen, clothes were discussed, plans were made, and money was saved. And then these Hopites blazed their trail from Holland to Detroit, Rochester, Schenectady, N e w York City, Long Island, N e w
Jersey and back again to Holland. W i t h memories of a successful tour, the girls continued to work
and present concerts in our local community before ending a year of much activity.

ORCHESTRA W i t h a membership of forty musicians f r o m Hope and outlying communities, the orchestra has
developed into an organization of great musical value to H o p e College. Under the direction of Mr.
Palmer Quackenbush, well-known musician f r o m G r a n d Haven and conductor of the W e s t Shore Symphony, the "music-makers" tuned up every W e d n e s d a y in the Alpha Sigma Alpha room in V a n Raalte, meeting first in the evening and later in the afternoon. In December the orchestra made its first appearance of the school term, presenting a g r o u p of numbers for a Sunday afternoon Vesper service sponsored by the Musical Arts Club as a Red Cross Benefit. A spring concert presented by the orchestra in May proved to be one of the outstanding programs on H o p e ' s calendar of events. In addition to an excellent rendition of the Allegro Moderato f r o m Schubert's "Unfinished Symphony," the group skillfully played "Russian Choral and Overture," Isaac; " O n e M o r n i n g in May, Carmichael; " C h o p Sticks," a fantasy, Evans; "Intermezzo," Bizet, and "Beautiful Lady," Caryll. Included in the program were selections by Miss Betty Fuller, harpist, and Miss Claire W i e r e n g a , soprano. " H o l i d a y for Strings"

RINGING IN THE GROOM This comedy pictures George, a young lover constantly postponing his marriage because of the burden of supporting his own mother and family. Granny intervenes, soon has George believing that Ruth, his fiancee, will no longer wait for him, and promptly puts an end to all George's hesitation. The play ends happily — for George, Ruth, and Granny, at least. IF I BE HIS DISCIPLE In this missionary play, Dorothy, a young college graduate, has plans all m a d e to continue her musical education with the help of a thousand-dollar check from her uncle.

OUTWARD BOUND Under the capable direction of Mr. Edward Avison, P. and M. presented for the first time in four years, a threeact p l a y — " O u t w a r d Bound,'' by Sutton Vane. It was presented May 1 and 2 in Carnegie Gymnasium. T h e setting of this p s y c h o l o g i c a l drama, which is filled with mystery and suspense, is on board a small ship "outward b o u n d " for eternity. As the play progresses, each passenger aboard ship finally comes to the realization that he is no longer living, and the final act finds the characters receiving their just reward for the lives which they have lived on earth.

Forensics—Speakers Proving Ground WOMEN'S ORATORY "You really ought to be a statesman," said one of the women in a group for which Helen Goff presented her winning oration, " N u r e m b e r g Lessons." Showing how insignificant beginnings may have tremendous consequences, as did the Nazi Jugend, she urged youth to begin working for infinitely higher goals — the world-wide love and fellowship resulting from firm faith in Christ. "Bunny" represented H o p e at the M.I.S.L. State Contest in Detroit on March 8, after taking first place in the local Adelaide Contest. Isla Van der Heuvel, who placed second, summarized the many and varied problems which returning veterans encounter. "Little w o n d e r , " she said, "that there lurks a general s p i r i t of pessimism; b u t t h i s can be dissipated if we face the p r o b l e m squarely."

MEN'S ORATORY T h e chapel was silent after Paul Fried's oration, " T h e Price of Peace." H e had shown his audience why the victorious nations must develop a genuine sympathy and friendship for the German people, if the peace is to endure. As a refugee from Austria, he knowingly pleaded for United States leadership in this humanitarian compassion for the defeated. Fried took highest honors in Hope's Raven Oratorical Contest and represented the college in the M.I.S.L. State Contest. Bob Schuller, second-place winner in the local contest, sought substantial tokens of forgiveness for the conquered nations. In his oration, "If Thine Enemy Hunger, Feed H i m , " Schuller e m p h a s i z e d that the suffering Germans should not be held accountable for a war for which many of the common people were not responsible.

GROUP DISCUSSIONS This year for the first time H o p e has sent representatives to the state group discussions, held at Kalamazoo College on December 7. The general topic was the same as the debate proposition — the policy of free trade. I n addition to the usual oral critcisms the critics gave individual scoring on such factors as cooperation, general knowledge of the subject, and tact. T h e day's activities ended with a banquet and a speech on the economic basis of free trade.

Spiritual r e j u v e n a t i o n through a varied selection of speakers and lively forums was the aim of Hope's versatile Y.W.C.A. officers, cabinet, and adviser, Miss Margaret Gibbs, this past year. T h e girls achieved it, too. Their initiation service brought eighty girls into the fellowship of Y. T h e annual Candlelight Music Service stimulated peace and a quiet devotion to G o d ; the missionary play created a spirit of helpfulness in a world of need and appropriately preceded the drive to collect clothes for the Netherlands Relief. In January the cabinet voted to become an active member of the National Student Council of Y.W.C.A., after two representatives had been sent to the Albion Conference in the fall. T w o months later the cabinet entertained the newly elected officers and cabinet members at a traditional American breakfast of pancakes and coffee. Then came the month of May, when early morning greetings, plans for the future, and the „ beginnings of inescapable goodbyes were exchanged over the breakfast table by the ^ new cabinet, the senior girls, and the women of the faculty. T h u s Hope's " Y . W . , " through its social and religious activities, continued to inspire H o p e co-eds to an enriched life of service.

Y JOINT ACTIVITIES Amid the sand dunes of Lake Michigan, the Y . W . and Y . M . together took the responsibility of entertaining and feeding all the new students on the campus during orientation week. T h e n came the all-college skating party, a source of bruises and friendships. In November, a f t e r much puzzling over the mystifying posters ^ on the campus, the student body and faculty, in answer to the cries of Rev. Osterhaven's baby and the appealing speech and singing of Rev. Emmet Waite, topped the scales to the tune of $1275.50 to help in the migrant work. Community churches were served throughout the school year by deputation teams of trios, and duets, and student speakers. ^ The increased number of joint meetings, featuring mission%0 aries and ministers, found great favor among the H o p e co-eds. Appropriately the second semester of school began with our annual Religious Emphasis W e e k , led by the dynamic Dr. W i l l Orr of Des Moines, Iowa. T h r o u g h o u t the week of chapel services, ^ personal conferences, afternoon prayer meetings, and the Y meeting Tuesday evening, every H o p e student looked forward to ^ Dr. Orr's southern accent, quick wit, ^ practical advice, and spiritual reservoir. Finally it was time for new cabinets to take over the responsibility of " Y ; " they were challenged to the task at t h e a n n u a l spring retreat.
These Also PAN-HELLENIC BOARD Pan-Hellenic Board, the governing body of sororities on H o p e College campus, consists of the president of each society, and a junior and senior representative from each society. Junior representatives have been included on the board this year so that they can gain experience in the organization even though they do not take an active part in it. This year Pan-Hel has put into effect the new rushing rules that no girl may become a member
of a sorority until her sophomore year. T o take the place of sororities in the freshman year, the board has organized a freshmen girls' club. Alpha Sigma Alpha. In addition to assisting this organization by sending representatives and checking its constitution, the board has been busy resolving small sorority problems. T h e purpose of Pan-Hellenic Board is to see that all sororities adhere to inter-sorority rules. It is the principal aim of this democratic organization to make sorority membership possible for every girl who desires it.

ALCOR May Day 1945. T h e audience about the queen's throne in the pine grove is silent, tense, and expectant. Suddenly it breaks into spontaneous applause as the new members of Alcor are announced one by one, and each comes forward to be "tapped" by the former president. Every co-ed hopes some day to become a member of this senior honorary society, but only a few of those most outstanding in scholarship, participation in college activities, and " p e r s o n a l i t y plus" are accorded this high honor.
Serve
Witches and black cats provided a Hallowe'en atmosphere to start off this year with an Alcor waffle supper at the home of Miss Elizabeth Lichty, adviser. Alcor's infant project, the Koffee Kletz, which has already N o r m a Albers — Personality Smile become a t r a d i t o n a l part of Hope College, occupied a large share of its time. Judging from the lineups at the door, the popularity of the Kletz and the gals who made the Koffee would rate about tops, especially with those who habitually missed breakfast. In December a gayly decorated evergreen in the Kletz and a festive party contributed to the campus Christmas spirit. A trip to G r a n d Rapids for a concert and initiaiton of new members closed another year of service to the high ideals symbolized by the star of Alcor.
ATHLETIC DEBT DIGGERS This year's "Blue Key Cluster" is unanimously awarded to the girls of A.D.D., w h o so willingly took over the difficult task of managing Hope's bookstore while " t h e boys were away." Although the A . D . D . members were constantly faced with such problems as shortages of books and school supplies because of the war, and later with a large increase in enrollment, they came through with flying colors (much to the amazement of the t r e a s u r e r ) . A constant stream of incoming and outgoing telegrams really kept the girls busy, especially when supply companies would wire, "Sorry, order not available. W o r r i e d professors continually "buzzed" into the bookstore with a distressed " H a v e n ' t the books I ordered come in yet?" Probably the most enjoyable part of the girls' work in A . D .

ANCHOR Eager to voice the opinions and interests of the large group of servicemen enrolling at H o p e throughout the year, Ruth Joldersma, editor-inchief, and Associate Editors Vivian Dykema and Elaine Meeusen marshalled in a new section of the paper, edited solely by veterans on campus — enlarging The Anchor for a time from a four to a six-page bi-weekly publication, and with wartime restrictions swept away, The Anchor proceeded to turn out copy on a pre-war scale. N e w s concerning both sororities and fraternities was edited by Glenna Gore. Feature editor, Bobbie Bilkert, and her staff reeled off articles which catered to "campus" gossip. Dorothy Weyenberg's business staff hunted down more ads to meet the expenses of an enlarged paper. Distribution of Anchor copies to those still in service was continued by Nellie Mae Ritsema and her circulation crew.

All hands were on deck as enthusiastic mates aboard Ship Delta Phi cast out to sea in September. Guided by a jovial, hard-working crew, the sturdy craft glided down Lake Michigan to G u n n Cottage, where the charter was lined up and sails again unfurled. A feature attraction during this early part of the voyage was a "parade of fashions" reviewed by the crew and guest passengers at a tea in the main dining hall. After a Christmas breakfast on shore, chief cooks on board proved their own skill in culinary art at the delicious Valentine's Day potluck supper, which provided plenty of food and frolic. On two occasions the ship lay at anchor at Port W a r m Friend — during the homecoming luncheon in honor of veteran Delphi seafarers and at the mid-winter ship ball. Special shore-leave was granted for this formal party, at which mates and guests witnessed the original arrangement "Fantasy on a Vanity." Another highlight of the trip was the meeting of Ship Delphi-Ship Sibylline in mid-sea. Delphians boarded the Sib ship and were royally

entertained with a fashion show of spring styles. Finally docking at Saugatuck, Delphians and their escorts met the members and guests of Sorosis at a spring party at Baldhead Hotel. Then, as shipmates came to shore for the summer, ship bells called a final conclave to bid "Bon Voyage" to senior sisters, and to anticipate coming years of happy sailing on Ship Delta Phi.

Must Be a H u m o r Paper
" K a p p a Beta P h i — 1945-46" is engraved on the cover of our Dorian scrapbook, crowded with memories of laughter and good times, serious moments and hard work. First a brightly colored autumn leaf recalls the day school opened in September — the enticing smell of a wood fire, and golden ears of corn roasting in ashes. Pictures of the house-party at Lake Michigan follow and wisps of straw from the hayride in the fall. Next an invitation to the traditional Homecoming brunch for Miss Laura Boyd and our alumnae.

T u r n i n g the pages we find the program for a fall concert featuring Chopin's "Polonaise," a special "Extra" edition of the Dorian Neivs, and the " D a r k Symphony," stressing color discrimination in a dramatic presen-
tation of "Wingless Victory" by Maxwell Anderson. An Erlenmeyer flask! (Leave it to Terby to bring chemistry into our meetings.) Pinned to another page is a gay, colored patch from the Hobo Convention, a score card from our radio quiz, and a beautifully pressed gardenia reminiscent of the gala Mardi Gras Ball in February. Spring meant f u n and fellowship in joint meet-
ings, redecorating our room, and picnics at Macatawa Beach. Dedicated to the seniors who are leaving us, the last page renews memories of four wonderful years of scholastic achievement, service in campus activities, and many lasting friendships, in the words of our Dorian creed, confined "not to the circle of Dorian but reaching out to all humanity."

"Hial to Sorosis" rang clear and strong over Lake Macatawa on September 18 when Sorosites gathered at "Hearts Ease" cottage for one last evening of peace ( ?) and freedom before their return to a busy college life. N a t Bosman, prexy, attempted to preside over the gab-fest and appropriately inserted some business at regular intervals.
Later in the fall the Sorosites were seen in rolled-up jeans wielding paint brushes in an attempt to redecorate their "residence hall," and after several work nights the result was a sparkling room, a gleaming white piano, a new carpet, and hopes for new furniture. At the annual Christmas tea the winter term officers were elected.
In January the Sorosites climbed aboard " T h e Good Ship Lollipop" and set sail for the W a r m Friend Hotel to attend Sigma Sigma's most colorful event of the school year — " T h e Peppermint Ball." Spring found members enjoying an amusing joint meeting with Tri-Alpha, an impressive seasonal tea with Sibylline, and the annual Sorosis-Alumnae meeting. The Delphi-Sorosis joint spring party and graduation were the memorable events which closed the sorority year. Sorosis, Hope's oldest existing sorority, organized in 1906, bids a fond farewell to its departing seniors — exceptionally fine leaders, who during their years at college have truly made "the crescent banner . . . the star of Hope."

Quick Change Secretary Takes Roll Thesaurian W e l c o m e s N e w Members
September found the members of T h e t a G a m m a Pi in old jeans and shirts ambitiously redecorating their sorority room. Between the scattered paint drops f r o m the ceiling, plans were enthusiastically, but vaguely, formed for the new year. Many of these plans, however, did become events. Naturally the subject of new members was foremost in the minds of the painters, and several ideas of entertainment for them were given. The entertainment proved to be an Italian spaghetti supper which gained nine new Thetas for the sorority. O n e of the painters, recalling old times, talked of alumnae, which suggested the breakfast that was later held with alumnae as guests. Naturally enough, party plans were talked of at the paint session, but it wasn't until much later that "Fad and Fantasy" was chosen as the theme of the spring formal at the W a r m Friend. Amid the squeals of puzzled hat designers and delighted models, the Thesaurians and guests soon discov-
ered that Paris had no monopoly on the creation of unique hat styles. In September the decorators had foreseen many activities for the year, but an inventory at the end of the year showed more fun than was ever anticipated.

Anyone wandering around the third floor of Van Raalte is likely to notice a large, cheery room with pastel walls and long floral drapes. It is the home of Alpha Sigma Alpha, the Freshman Girls' Club. Its name meaning the Original Sisterhood, Alpha Sigma Alpha was formed this year, under the direction of Pan-Hellenic Board, as a social organization uniting the Freshman girls, who waived membership in sororities until their sophomore year, according to new rushing rules. Mrs.
In January the members and guests, clad in jeans and shirts, presented the original "Korn Kapers" at the Literary Club. Everyone kept up a high spirit of hilarity with square dancing, an entertaining program, and refreshments. In the spring the same versatile lassies were seen strolling with their escorts to their formal party. Later they turned beachcombers for a picnic which was one of the final highlights of a year in Alpha Sigma Alpha.

TRI-ALPHA From freshman initiation through winter formal and spring parties Tri-Alpha men set a rapid pace for activities throughout the year. On Friday nights they gathered for the serious and humorous alike. Freshman i n i t i a t i o n found the " d o g s " (pledges to you) partaking of the strange foods and weird brews concocted for their special benefit by the upperclassmen. Strange sights were seen as freshmen wriggled under water tanks, or waited for hours by lonely, dark cemeteries. Tri-Alpha men went riding through the wide

open spaces at their "Boots and Saddles" winter formal at the W a r m Friend Hotel. N o t the least of this year's activities was the publication of the Student Guide, a directory of both students and faculty. W i t h o u t a doubt the most intriguing meetings of the year were the joint meetings held with Hope's sororities, where the unpredictable was always bound to happen. Tri-Alpha came through this year as the leading men's organization on campus filling the g a p left by the war-struck fraternities. TRI-ALPHA OFFICERS FIRST S E M E S T E R

on the short end of a 54-45 score. T h e second game with Percy Jones was scheduled for a week later, and again the Dutchmen fought a losing battle, this time to the tune of 58-34.
T h e season began rather badly for the quintet as the Percy Jones team really gave H o p e some professional competition before meeting league contestants. Nevertheless, a hard-fighting, scrapping team developed rapidly and emerged with eleven wins as against four defeats.
Stung by two successive defeats, H o p e gunned for a victory over Hillsdale, and came up on the top side of 76-47. Hillsdale was helpless as Hope ran circles around them and was able to score at will. Zuverink's shooting eye was really in working condition as he rang up a total of 30 points and, incidentally, broke the league record for individual scoring in one game.
H o p e met the highly touted Percy Jones squad on their floor for the first game of the season. T h e Hingamen couldn't drop in an extra ten points to chalk u p the first victory, for the quintet came out

cagemen then journeyed to Albion, only to end a hardfought game nine points short of victory, 55-47. M u l d e r and Slager were the mainstay of the team, but they were unable to stem the Albion scoring attack. T h e third M.I.A.A. g a m e furnished plenty of opportunity for H o p e ' s cheering section. T h e play was evenly matched, point-for-point, until the beginning of the second half. H o p e then showed signs of tiring, and Alma forged ahead to a 73-60 win. Even more exciting was the Kalamazoo game in which H o p e finally eked out a 44-41 victory in the last three minutes. Mulder, with his usual speed, accurate passing, and sure shooting, was the sparkplug that set up the plays. " G a b b y " Van Dis and " P o r k y " D a l m a n broke into the line-up for the first time since they were discharged from the army. H o p e continued its winning streak as it downed Ypsilanti 67-62 in a hard-earned victory. Lloyd Heneveld proved to be the star, sinking 21 points. T h e H i n g a m e n then turned to their bitter rival, Calvin, and succeeded in trimming them 60-52. H o p e was really "in the groove" as it turned in its third win in five days.

Ypsilanti, in an attempt to avenge its previous defeat, was denied this privilege as the regulars teamed up to upset Ypsi 65-52. T h e r e was no individual star, for all were playing for the team. Yet, the four regulars, Mulder, Scholton, Van Dis, and Zuverink, poured in the baskets as each reached double figures, 14, 13, 11, and 10 respectively. T h e night of February 8 will live long in the memory of H o p e basketball enthusiasts, as the year's most exciting game was hotly contested with H o p e coming out the victor by one point, 47-46. T h e lead changed sixteen times, the sixteenth being when 60 seconds were left of the game. Captain M u l d e r broke up the tight battle by intercepting a Kazoo pass, dribbling the length of the floor, and climaxing the feat with a dog-shot that proved to be the winning tally. Albion invaded Holland with the aim of clinching first place in the M.I.A.A. tournament, but the H o p e quintet did not give up W a t c h i n g Slager Put It Over

until the final whistle blew. And then it was a case of too little and too late for Albion as they found themselves on the wrong side of a 67-50 score. Mulder, Van Dis, and Zuverink again hit the bucket to score 17, 16, and 15 points in ringing up the eighth victory. Slager, Hope's star backboard artist, proved his worth defensively as the buccaneer of the backboard. H o p e combined sizzling passes and accurate shooting to vent their revenge on the Alma quintet which had formerly defeated them. The Dutch-
men literally swept Alma off their feet while winning 77-53, lead by Heneveld whose shooting eye gave us 24 points. T h e return Hillsdale game was an easy win as H o p e smothered them under a barrage of baskets that netted H o p e a 79-32 victory. Coach Hinga used all the players, and all tallied in the highest scoring game of the year. T h e end of the season was fittingly climaxed as Hope bested the traditional rival Calvin 58-37. Calvin was unable to match our speed and passing, but they were also at a loss to combat
Mulder's one-handed shots from beyond the foul circle. H o p e concluded the year with eight consecutive wins and 883 points as against 748 for the opponents. T o climax such a successful season, Don Mulder, guard. Gabby Van Dis, forward, and Art Slager, center and guard, were named to the all-state M.I.A.A. team.

Shouts of " J u m p ball," " T a k e it in, Joe," and "Foul" greeted everyone who ventured into the gym after 3:00 during the basketball season. Although it was a regular gym period for some, it was also the practice period for the reserve basketball squad. It competed alternately with the Pure Oil and 7-Up teams in preliminary contests. T h e second team was constantly changing its personnel as more veterans r e t u r n e d t o t h e c a m p u s , but Coach Jack Schouten's policy was to give each player a chance to develop under actual playing conditions, and building a winning ball club was not the objective. W h o knows, when the whistle sounds for the tip-off next year, the reserves may have changed their uniforms for those of the varsity.
Hope Men Fight It Out In Intramural Sports It's In the Bag
BASKETBALL Basketball, at the top of the list of our intercollegiate sports, has earned this year a similar rating in intramural sports. W i t h a total of twenty-five men participating each Monday evening, four teams were formed; two teams of dormitory men, a Zeeland team, and a town team. 98
Toward the latter part of the season a veteran's team was organized which remained undefeated the remainder of for season. SOFTBALL Springtime is synonomous with the baseball season in the world of sports. From start to finish the teams made "every play count," for competi
tion was keen this year (thanks to Uncle Sam's returning our m e n ) . Intramural sports have been under the very able management of Jim M u d d l e who tells us that this year is only a preview of what is to come. W i t h the new interest and enthusiasm for sports brought in by t h e r e t u r n i n g veterans, a more extensive program is being planned for the future. A special veterans program is part of the projected plans for the coming year.

Under the watchful eyes of tennis coach Milton Hinga and golf coach Albert Timmer, stiff workouts and daily practices were scheduled either on the courts, in the gym, or at the golf course.
FOOTBALL The sight of long spiral passes and the sound of pigskin against shoe leather was evidence enough of the return of football to the campus.

The Women Battle on Their Own play day at Adrian College. Eleven H o p e girls attended the all-day meet, where a variety of sports succeeded in keeping them occupied. A word of praise and commendation is due to the faculty members, Mr. Jack Schouten, Miss Elizabeth Lichty, and Miss Metta Ross, for their guidance and support of the women's athletic program.

W O M E N ' S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Under the capable leadership of Libby Romaine, president, W . A . A . continued its policy of sponsoring various sports with a board member in charge of each. Its duties increased greatly as the enrollment reached an all-time high. An important addition to the sport schedule was the M.I.A.A. girls'
T h e battles raged hot and heavy in Carnegie Gymnasium on Tuesday evenings from 8:00-10:00 as H o p e co-eds combined their athletic abilities to compete in the weekly autumn volleyball contests. Frequent trips to the balcony to retrieve the misguided ball were interspersed with shouts of Play the net," "spike it," and "help it over." Cooperation and team play gradually developed, but the team captained by Tonsi Kloosterman beat the rest to the draw as they came out on top with a total of four wins and no setbacks. Congrats, team three; and to the others, better luck next year! BOWLING " D o w n on alley ten!" is not a phrase picked up on the street, but it was often heard at Lievense's

As usual the price was partially paid by the W.A.A., which was the sponsor.

time on the basketball court. W h e n the whistle blew for the opening game, interest was at fever pitch. By the time the schedule was completed, the competition surpassed all expectations as two rival teams battled for top honors. The culmination of the year's activities was the All-Star" game, which found the best of each team pitted against each other in a knock-down, drag-out contest. Despite floor burns, scratches, or blisters, there will still be many on hand for the opening game of the 1946-47 season. TENNIS T h e tennis courts were one of the most popular spots on the campus this spring, as would-be netters filled in every spare minute with a tew games or sets of their favorite sport.

Dives, splashes, and waterfights remind us of the excursions made by many coeds to the Grand Rapids Y . W . swimming pool. Varying degrees of perfection (or should
we say attainment) were witnessed as each one attempted to better a former dive, perfect the Australian crawl, or execute a "deadman's float." T h e evenings w e r e c l i m a x e d by the usual stopover at Adriense in Grandville for refreshments before returning to routine dorm life. BASEBALL " B a t t e r u p !

Lack of hitting power, pitching ability, and throwing accuracy were easily covered up by the vim, vigor, and vitality displayed by Hope's athletic coeds. Aided by "Jack's" tips on the fine points of the game and goaded on to better performance by laughs from the Zwemer Hall "spectators," the girls really learned to handle hot grounders and sizzling line drives with the nonchalance of a big leaguer (if you happened to drop in on one of their better games, that is!)

GYM Class, attention! Right, dress! Ready, front! It may be only a girls' gym class, but if you have overheard any girls complaining of sore muscles and aching backs, a stiff exercise routine may be the reason. Besides this "daily dozen," hotly contested games, followed by rough and tumble matches according to anything but orthodox rules, required the utmost energy of all.
RIDING "Horseback riding" conjured up some very vivid, if not painful, recollections of attempts at the lost art. Nevertheless, many coeds were able to stick it out, despite a few reports of riders not sticking on.

T Betty D e Vrics and Betty Van Lente delivered telegrams at the W . A. L. Penny Carnival held April 20, 1945.
W i l d ( ? ) animals were part of the Carnival attractions.
W o m e n ' s Activities League, the organization of all girls on Hope's campus, is responsible for many of our social activities. After starting the year with the annual Orientation Tea and All-College Beach Party, it helped to sponsor the novel event of its calendar — a formal student-faculty Christmas party — at which jolly St. Nick held all attention until Mr. McLean's turkey a la king, homemade rolls, cranberry tarts, and hot chocolate stole the show. February ushered in our All-Girls' Party with the frosh and sophs escorting the upper-classmen, housemothers, and faculty women to Carnegie Gym for an evening of female fun. In March thoughts turned to European relief, as a Penny Carnival was staged as part of a campaign to help a Reformed college in devastated Hungary. Then came spring, a fashion show, May Day, the High School Girls' Tea, and Illumination Night; and so another year passed quickly and successfully for W.A.L.
Many students hurled sponges at a " H i t l e r " head on a ' P l u t o " body. Carnival profits went to the Red Cross.
Van Lente finished the relay for the winning sophs, May Day, 1945.

STUDENT COUNCIL Sponsoring friendly rivalry between classes, keeping the frosh in their place, and providing opportunities for the enlightenment of the students on matters of common interest are a few of the jobs well done by Student Council. A picnic with lush barbecue sandwiches and sweet corn, the mixer at which the frosh received suitable identification tokens ( t h e badge of g r e e n ) , and the pep rally and pull of Homecoming added to the color of college life in the fall. T h e traditional Nykerk Cup Contest, at which the frosh were chastised for disobedience, was another project. A delightful Christmas party given in connection with other campus organizations, a forum about democracy in which six men spoke as representatives of occupational groups, Dutch Treat W e e k with a mixer after the Calvin game and Glory Day following, a drive for the Red Cross netting $69-79, the library opened in tiie evening—these too were accomplished by Student Council.
