MILESTONE

M i n i v e r s A f l l

Hope Memorial Chapel Rising majestically in the south-

west corner of the campus, Hope Memorial Chapel chimes forth the time

each quarter hour. Its beautiful architecture, stained glass windows, and melodious organs all contribute to its atmosphere of rever-

ence. The chapel, dedicated in 1929,

has a seating capacity of 2,000. The basement contains three class-

rooms and four rooms for religious work.

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

It is our aim that the 1940-1941 year-book will be a living reminder of the school's ou t s t and ing achieve-ments.

The many hours spent in this en-deavor to portray student life in its various aspects has been an interest-ing avocation and has afforded us rich experiences.

Dedication

In recognition of his eighteen years of

outstanding work in the science depart-

ment—for his exceptional ability to pro-

duce successful chemists—for his great

interest in the academic welfare of the

students — and for his achievement of

building a prominent science depart-

ment, we, the class of nineteen forty-two,

dedicate our MILESTONE OF 1941 to

History of Hope College

On February, 1847, six men and one woman arrived in

a sleigh from Allegan on Holland land to plant a

colony here. Reverend A. C. Van Raalte led the group

and organized the settlement. The educational needs

of the West were brought to this man's attention in

1850 and by 1853 he had persuaded the General Synod

to reorganize the high school academy with a college.

In his first report of the work to the Synod, Dr. Van

Raalte prophesied, "This is my Anchor of Hope for

this people in the future," a statement which gives us

the name and seal of Hope College. Through the fur-

ther endeavors of Dr. Van Raalte, funds were raised

to separate the college from the academy and the first

class of eight members was graduated in 1866. The

Theological department was constituted in 1869 and

women were admitted to all departments in 1878.

Graves Hall Graves Hall, the gift of Gerrit

Winants and Nathan Graves, is the axis on which most of the college life

revolves. It contains the administration facilities, library, and classrooms. This build-ing was formerly used as a chapel until the

dedication of Hope Memorial Chapel in 1927. Architecturally speaking,

it is one of the most beautiful buildings on any small

college campus.

• *• ' Jf *

Hope Memorial Chapel In a quiet inspirational service,

the entire student body every morn-ing worships together in the beautiful

Memorial Chapel. A rich slate of speakers, varied musical programs, and a sincere

devotional period add value to the attendatice.

President's Home Plans were made for the Presi-

dent's Home in 1888 although it was not completed until 1892. Under

the direction of the Council, now the Board of Directors, it stands as planned except for

the addition of the porch donation of Harmon Van Slyke in 1912. Since

its completion, the presidents

of the college have always lived there.

Voorhees Hall Voorhees Hall, home for the

girls of Hope, is one of the most beautifully constructed buildings on the

campus. Lending atmosphere to the little city which it overlooks, it is built in typically Dutch architecture. A gift from Mr. and Mrs. R. Voorhees, it was dedicated in June,

1907, in honor of their daughter Elizabeth. It affords simple but

pleasant and comfortable accom7nodations as the

girls' dormitory.

Van Vleck Hall Van Vleck Hall, serving as

men's dormitory, stands the sole

landmark of the transition from pioneer days of Hope College. It marks a great innovation over those days when enterpris-ing students went into the woods to "log" the timber for college buildings. The struc-

ture, erected in 7857 under the direction of Dr. Van Vleck, holds the distinc-

tive position of being the oldest building on the campus.

Carnegie Gymnasium Carnegie Gymnasium, a gift of

that great philanthropist, Mr. An-drew Carnegie, rises high above the

other structures of the campus at Hope. Completed and dedicated in June, 1906, dur-

ing the presidency of Dr. Kollen, this structure has been the nucleus of

the always important athletic program of the college.

Van Raalte Hall Van Raalte Hall, dedicated in

1903 to the cause of Christian edu-cation, was presented to Hope College

in memory of Reverend Van Raalte, the father of Holland, Michigan. In it there

are many classrooms; also there are the laboratory rooms for the

science courses.

Education Building The Education Building con-

tains lecture rooms where all pros-

pective teachers learn how to be masters of their classrooms. Also found there are the Anchor and Milestone offices, classrooms

for the French, and the Commons Room where any student can find a com-

fortable place during the day

to read, play games, or meet a friend.

Science Building The dream of Dr. Wynand

Wtchers, a new modernized science building, is becoming a reality. Plans f .

breaking ground for this $230,000 struc-ture are scheduled for June. The

student body pledged $600 to science drive fund.

Board of Trustees

The governing body, the Board of Trustees, has worked the past

two years with one definite aim; Hope's new Science Building of

1943. Various campaigns, alumni association drives, special rallies,

programs of the Reformed Church have all been directed at this

specific goal.

The board is an incorporated group of thirty members assuming the

responsibility of the direction of the policies and interests of our

institution. Nine of the members are elected by the General Synod

of the Reformed Church in America, and other members are elected

by the various Classes and Particular Synods of Chicago and Iowa.

The Hope College Board of Trustees holds two meetings a year

on the campus. The first is during the month of April and the

second is in June. Throughout the year the members are active in

committee functions concerning the interest of the college.

Arrival

SO T H I S IS H O L L A N D ? Easy with those trunks, Only 75 miles to go.

3n mrmnrtam Anthony Pennings Hermina Maasen

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

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

But for these two — the half.

What might the rest have held Of strife, attainment, pain, And quiet certitude at last? With willing hearts They left their ivork To serve in radiant Light.

— F. H.

Seniors They were Frosh, a hundred and

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

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

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

Time went on and for some there was practice teaching while others stuck to the labs. Occasionally there was talk about positions, and even a few engagements were announced. The Class of 1941 began to take things seriously.

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

March arrived and graduation honors were made known. To Phil-lip Waalkes went the title of valedic-torian, and Marvin Den Herder was named salutatorian. Seniors couldn't wait until after graduation, neither could they resist spring weather, so one day along about May 29th they stole a preview of their coming free-dom and had a Skip Day.

Summing it all up one of the proud members of the outgoing class said, "Worked, of course; plugged, often; parties—both faculty and stu-dent; sleep, in and out of bed; foot-ball and basketball; the coke corner, very muchly; and at last — AHH! the mortar-board!!"

Juniors After three full years of expe-

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

F r o m j u n i o r r a n k s come t h e Campus Queen and the six members for Her Majesty's Court. Those girls outstanding in scholarship and activ-ity during their three years at Hope are tapped for Alcor on May Day. Blue Key, recognizing character and ability in the three-year men, selects those eligible for membership for the national honorary fraternity.

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

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

And now, as our crowning achieve-ment, we offer you — THE MILE-STONE for 1941.

Sophomores The Sophs, now two years out of rompers,

at last have found that college isn't all glamour of fur coat, fraternity and football. The Class

of '43 is perhaps at the most difficult stage of its career. Sophs are too old and wise (? ) to have sympathy spilled over them such as they had when they were Frosh, but not old and wise enough to have much of a place on the campus. However, it must be noted here that they have always had a certain "drag" — they

pulled both '42 and '44 through the acqua. Going a bit Sopht-hearted, they relinquished the Nykerk Cup to the Frosh femmes.

Groomed well by Coach Schouten last year, the athletes of the class (Timmer, De Fouw,

Kleinjans, Hendrix, Hoek, Koop, Riemersma

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

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

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

Freshmen Dear Editor:

This is the beginning of a story of college life. W e came, we saw, — we wore green. It

didn't take long for the rushing epidemic to subside. Paradoxically enough, we were enter-tained and then paddled for having too good a

time.

W e got pulled through the river which prob-ably was good for us, but we retaliated by taking the Nykerk Cup Contest (which was good for the Sophs). W e were called up be-fore the Student Council for certain mis-demeanors and then called down because we were too much of a War Department.

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

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

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

activities.

Our main thought this year was to establish a good reputation on which we could slide through to our senior year. Time has turtled on and we're about to be promoted from our tenderfoot rating. W e were outstanding in one field, however — we were the plebes who

made life interesting at Hope in 1941.

Yours,

The Big-Little Erosh

Women's Glee Club Those tryouts in the Chapel cer-

tainly started us off in fine fettle. About eighty would-be nightingales trembled through the preliminaries while their knees knocked and the building shook, and then thirty were chosen to be the H o p e Col lege Women's Glee Club. Interest ran especially high this year, for lo and behold, we had a man! Our director, Professor Cavanaugh, really gave us something to chirp about. We took off with "Tally-ho" by Leoni and we galloped the rest of the year.

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

Believe it or take it for what it's

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

Well, whether you think we look happy in this picture or not, it was a lot of fun. If you could only have heard us doing Rimsky-Korsakov ' s "Song of India" you would have no doubts! And then there was our an-nual celebration, the absolute femi-ninth degree of something-or-other. "Ah, yes," the girls figure, "it was a year well spent." And so it was, for thirty girls, when they get together once a week, can make mean music.

Men's Glee Club In the limelight all year has been the

Hope College Men's Glee Club. And if you say the boys are just plain good — it's a masterpiece of understate-ment. There are thirty-two of them this year and here and now we'd like to tell them what we think of them! T h e y ' r e the essence of s u p e r b i t y ; they're stiff competition for any male vocal group east of the Mississippi; they're the best Men's Glee Club this college has had for many a moon.

Here you see them in action, tuxed and all. And on your left — the man responsible for this burst of praise. Professor C a v a n a u g h , the baritone with the busy baton, has something of which to be proud.

Big event this year was the concert trip they made during spring vacation. A1 Shiphorst, business-manager, must receive much credit for his was a role well-played. This tour was highly suc-cessful due to the combined efforts of the entire group. Not only are they vocally inclined but these young men

also included in their concerts several instrumental number s by t a l en ted members of the organization.

Their favorite song, and one espe-cially wel l - rece ived was the well-known "The Sleigh" by Kountz. They also are famous for their rendition of Vic to r Herbert ' s " T r a m p , T r a m p , Tramp", in which their director sang the solo part. Definitely not to be ove r - looked is the i r "Alma Mater Hymn", composed by Professor Cava-naugh, with which they concluded each program.

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

Orchestra An eminent member of that unique,

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

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

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

"Magic Flute" - Mozart

"Dance of the Happy Sylphs" . Gluck "Raymond Overture" . . . . Thomas "Marche Militaire" Shuhert "Pomp and Circumstance" . . . Elgar "Bouree" Krebs

These numbers were a fitting accom-paniment to the colorful celebration in which Hope crowned its lovely queen for the coming year. Our eminent authority also states that as many flattering com-ments were heard concerning the orches-tra as about the queen. He further goes on to state, "Verily, it was a professional performance worth much praise!"

Band There is a group on the campus that

deserves much more recognition than it is now receiving. True, it doesn't often get a chance to "strut its stuff", but for all the practising it does and for all the fine work it has accomplished this year — we've got to give it a hand!

Yay . . . Band! Now unless you are anti-music-preju-

diced, and we never have heard of such a term, you are curious to know what the new band's got that gets you. First, and before you get a chance to count the noses in the picture, we'll tell you — there are all of sixteen instrumentalists in this bou-quet of budding maestros. Now as for the dramatic shot in ye lower right-hande cornere (with the photographer almost standing on the ceiling) you can get some semblance of an idea what the outfit looks like . . . in action.

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

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

perpetrated two programs for the edifica-tion of the student body, and one full-length evening jam session. Concerning the latter we here note that with gurgling cornets, drooling clarinets, mewing saxes, smearing trombones, slushy baritones and b l a s t i n g basses , t h e b a n d g a l l o p e d through "Ruy Bias Overture" by Mendels-sohn-Bartholdy, "Country Gardens" by Percy Grainger, and "The Old Refrain" by Fritz Kreisler. Gordon Berkel, fea-tured soloist of the evening, rode his lico-rice stick in great style as he raced the band through the strains of Von Weber's "Concertino".

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

Concert Series With Scottish ballads and a deli-

cious sense of humor, Cameron Mc-Lean treated Hope students in a short appearance during chapel period. This Scottish baritone has made many appearances throughout the country and has been highly applauded for his exceptional ability.

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

John Carter, a well-known Metro-po l i t an t enor , sang in Memor ia l Chapel, November 11. He has made many appearances on the opera stage, concert stage, and over the radio. He was received at a formal reception in Voorhees Hall following the concert.

The Kraeuter Trio, consisting of Phyllis Kraeuter, cellist, Karl Kraeu-ter, violinist, and Willard MacGregor, pianist, presented a concert in Memo-rial Chapel February 26. All three members of the group are soloists and have appeared abroad and in many

• American cities.

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

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

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

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

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

DR. EDWARD D. DIMNENT

Designer of Elope Memorial Chapel

The lovely Rose Window, gracing

the balcony of H o p e ' s Memor i a l

Chapel, is one of the most beautiful in

this country. The start toward the

fund for the window was made from

the first pageant, presented by the class

of 1916. The various colors are never

used in the same shade, in the pictures

which depic t the stages of man

through Hebrew history.

In the very center of the window is

the Hope seal and arranged around it

are seals of the University of Leidens,

of Rutgers, of Harvard, Yale, Prince-

ton, and the University of Michigan.

Dividing these from each other are

symbols of the types of education

given in a liberal arts college. They

are, the block and scale, the harp, an

ancient symbol of the sun, a test tube,

scroll and quill, and pallette.

The circle a round this is early

European in design and was carefully

copied. Around this is the largest

circle representing the story of man.

Starting from the very top, the world

emerging from a misty blue, we follow

around to the right. The next picture

is of Adam and Eve in the garden of

Eden. Peace and security are depicted

by animals sleeping together in the

foreground.

As the colors change so changes the

mood and the next one is of man culti-

vating the soil and wearing the skins

of animals. After a lapse of some time,

shown by a design, Abraham is leaving

his home in the desert land of Chaldee

and in the background are the cactus

and camels. Once again the back-

ground changes as the children of

Israel are under the influence of the

Egyptians in the next picture. The ark

of the Covenant is in the foreground.

After this follow in order the pros-

perity of the Hebrews under the Kings

and the beginning of culture depicted

by harps and scrolls at the feet of the

king. The untouched harp and weep-

ing willows show the sorrow of the

woman who represents the oppression

which has come to the chosen race.

The last picture is of the Babe in the

manger bed. The Savior of the world

in symbol and with the lilies of peace

at His right.

Y W celebrated its fortieth anniver-sary this year as an organization on Hope's campus. With well planned weekly meetings plus many varied col-lege activities, the Y W cabinet has ful-filled its responsibilities of helping Hope's coeds to attain gracious woman-hood.

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

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

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

Y. M. C. A. Several new wrinkles in the established,

basic Y pattern were evident this year in the Student Christian Association program. The Cabinet was led in its planning by the fol-lowing officers: Gordon Van Wyk, presi-dent; Stanley Slingerland, vice-president; Ray Olthof, secretary; and Justin Aalpoel, treasurer.

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

The inspiration of Prayer Week as car-ried out during February lingered long with the students, faculty, and townfolk alike. Dr. M. Stephen James of Old First Church,

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

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

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

These devotional services are rated as the most effective element in helping to "Make Christ King of Hope's Campus".

Alpha Chi

A l p h a Chi — "Messengers of Christ." Some day these young men will be bringing the gospel of Jesus Christ to a troubled world. In that day they must be ready to cope with the problems of their calling.

Alpha Chi was organized this year to en-able these young men to "acquaint them-selves with the problems of the Christian ministry". The meetings consist of talks by men experienced in the minister's problems. Topics are chosen to aid the young men in becoming better qualified for Christian serv-ice. Each topic is approached from an intel-lectual and professional point of view, and and is followed by group discussion.

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

addition to the four usual officers there are two committeemen-at-large who, with the vice-president, form the program committee. Prof. Henry Bast is the founder and advisor of the group.

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

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

Pi Kappa Delta Anybody who likes to hear himself talk

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

In the fall of each school year this organi-zation sponsors a Forensic Rally to stimulate interest in speech activities. It is here that those students showing talent in public-speaking are noted as "most likely to suc-ceed".

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

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

State Peace Oratorical Contest. Representa-tives were registered from Bay City Junior College, University of Grand Rapids, Uni-versity of Detroit, Michigan State Normal, Olivet, Calvin, Albion, Western State Teach-ers' College, and Highland Park Junior Col-lege. Here, too. Blase Levai carried off honors for Hope, winning first place in this State contest.

Pi Kap requires not only the "gift of gab" but participation in intercollegiate forensics. In April new members are admitted on the basis of their ability in public-speaking. It takes Pi Kap as well as the athletic teams to put the glory in Glory Day.

The women's Adelaide contest and a prize of twenty-five dollars was won by Miss Jeanette N. Rylaarsdam, junior from Minne-sota. Miss Emily Bielfield, Hol-land senior, placed second, choos-ing as her subject, "Youth — De-fend Your Citadel!" In the State Contest at Hillsdale, Miss Rylaars-dam placed high in the elimina-tion meet. In the evening's con-test she was awarded the third place bronze medal speaking on the subject, "The Undesirable One." Jeanette N. Rylaarsdam

The annual Peace contest to de-termine Hope's representative in the State meet was entered by five men. Blase Levai, last year's vic-torious orator, won the unani-mous decision of the judges. In the State contest, held at Hope, Levai competed against ten ora-tors and was awarded first place and a prize of fifty dollars for the oration, "The Broken Sword." Later he delivered this much ca l l ed - fo r w o r k at va r ious churches and luncheon clubs, as did the winners of the other ora-torical contests.

All three of Hope's contestants

were coached by Professor Wil-

liam Schrier and much of the

credit for their successes must be

attributed to his able coaching

and reliable advice.

Women's Debate The record set by the Women's

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

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

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

ment in the country at Manchester, Indiana.

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

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

Adding to the color of the season— dining at the Stockholm, post mor-tems, judges from Aloha, D.A.R. de-bates, poetry a la Schrier, Belle Isle, alarms that failed to go off, Beth's singing, and, of course. Prof. De Graaf's famous riddle — "What's the difference between a duck?"

Men's Debate Several men ' s teams rep resen ted

Hope in debate this season, discussing

the q u e s t i o n : " R e s o l v e d ; that the

countries of the Western Hemisphere

should form a permanent union." The

squad, coached by Professor William

Schrier, enjoyed a year of unprece-

dented activity. In addition to several

prac t ice deba tes wi th M u s k e g o n

Junior College, Grand Rapids Junior

College, Calvin Col lege , Mich igan

State College, and Loyola University

the teams participated in several tour-

naments. Two teams were entered in

the State T o u r n a m e n t at Lans ing

where three out of four debates were

won. Four teams were sent to the

Del ta Sigma Rho T o u r n a m e n t at

Madison, Wisconsin, and to the Pi

Kappa Delta Province of the Lakes

Tournament at East Lansing.

Three of the Men's teams participat-

ed in audience debating before several

clubs and organizations in Holland

and neighboring cities, thus aiding the

men in securing the experience of

talking before actual audiences.

A l t o g e t h e r the squad en joyed a

highly successful year. Much success

is predicted for the coming season as

only two men will be lost through

graduation.

Student Council September, and the campus comes alive once

more; not with the bloom of Tulip Time, but with the radiant green of incoming Frosh. Hover-ing over them with protective care is the Student Council, applying added green where it's needed most, and discipline likewise. There are two con-tests this group holds to settle ancient animosities between the Frosh and the Sophs — the Black River Pull for the boys, and the Nykerk Cup Contest for the girls.

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

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

ing. This project netted a S600 donation by the students, and which resulted in a glorious Glory Day.

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

Women's Activities League

Probably the most democratic set-up on the campus is the Women's Activi-ties League. Nearly every co-ed is a member and is entitled to vote for represen ta t ives and officers on the Board. One girl from each class, sorority and woman's organization is elected to serve on the W.A.L. Con-gress for one year. So much for busi-ness. . . .

Now comes the fun. Each co-ed on the Board has a certain duty, a duty that requires a lot of hard work, initia-tive, ingenui ty , and f in i sh i t ive but turns out to be great sport. One must edit the bu l le t ins which announce W.A.L.'s plans for the year. One must be chairman of the main project, which last March happened to be a super-plus style show. One must direct the May Day festivities, and thereby has one-third control in choosing the Campus Queen. W.A.L. floats a tea or two, and since two heads are some-times better than one, we find a couple' of girls in charge.

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

Now, for all the effort and energy expended by this lively group of co-eds you must agree they deserve a f l i ng themselves, so the ou tgo ing Board has a dinner and the incoming Congress has a tea. And, well, like F.D.R. and Tennyson ' s "Brook", W.A.L. will go "on and on forever".

"H" Club

The 'H' club is an organization which does

much to stimulate interest in athletics on Hope's

campus. This society is composed entirely of men

who are interested in athletics and have won a

Varsity award, either on the gridiron, the basket-

ball court, the track, the fairway, or the tennis

court.

One of the many aims of the 'H' club is to bring

promising athletes to Hope College to help main-

tain its past glories. But scholastic ability is also

important, as much valuable time must be spent

practicing to preserve Hope's brilliant records.

Hope is proud of the men in the 'H' club, and

is proud, too, of the many honors that they have

brought to Hope College.

English Majors Club When President Bertha Vis calls

the meeting of the English Majors to order important business gets under way. After Secretary-treasurer Ruth

Klaasen calls the roll, Vice-president Mary Bolema appoints the chairman for the next meeting. A discussion then follows which may concern im-portant constructions in grammar or other English problems, or, even the review of a new book.

Programs are always varied and interesting. Sometimes a play is pre-sented, or one of the group gives a reading from some famous selection. Occasionally an outside speaker pro-vides entertainment for the evening.

One of the "major" projects of the

club is to bring prominent lecturers to

the campus for the benefit of the entire student body.

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

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

German Club "Die Deutsche Verein Vereia" was

particularly instructive and interesting this year. Meeting the last Wednesday of every month the Club has success-fully grown.

Meetings have been well planned and various in subject matter. The Christmas meeting was composed of the story of how "Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht" came to be written, and the story of toy making in Germany. Gerrit Bruins sang "Holy Night" for the group. German refugees, Paul Fried and Paul Gottwald, discussed education in Germany and in America in a comprehensive review of their observations. «

Skits given in German with neces-sary actions, broom sticks for horses, and sound effects in the rear, had the members in fits of laughter. "Guten Abend, Gute Nacht", sung by Helen Leslie and Ann De Young, brought the meeting to a close on a lovely note. "Modern Germany" was a program discussing Germany today as to reli-

101

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

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

French Club "S'il vous plait, mes enfants, parlez

en francais!" This might well be the theme song of Le Cercle Francais, for it was a stock phrase and heard often at every meeting this year. The French Club met every other Wednesday night in the Commons Room and the picture appearing on this page comes close to being a typical scene (minus, of course, "Alouette" and "Frere Jacques"). Toujours, toujours we sang; sometimes folk songs, sometimes Christmas carols — we remember one in particular sung by a tout a fait fran-caise trio and played by Barbara Folensbee. That was the time Mrs. Prins surprised us with the popcorn balls.

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

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

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

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

Alcor One of the big thrills of May Day,

they say, is to hear your name

announced when Alcor members are

being tapped. This is because the gold star and the blue "A" stand for the recognition Hope's co-eds may receive

for three years of hard work. Alcor is

four years old and perhaps the most exclusive group on the campus. Her

members may be only those junior girls who have excelled in scholarship, participation in campus activities, and character.

Alcor's purpose must here be men-tioned. It recognizes and encourages

leadership; it means more than a high academic standard; Alcor stimulates and develops a finer type of college woman.

103

This year, with Ruth Stryker as president, Alcor started her activities

by selling H o m e c o m i n g souvenirs.

Later on, they made refreshments for

the girls in the dormitory. With Miss

Metta J. Ross and Mrs. Peter Prins as patronesses and Dean E. E. Lichty as faculty advisor, Alcor this year en-

joyed many a tea and dinner party. In the spring they entertained "guests".

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

Blue Key The truth of the matter is that Blue Key-

is the ultimate goal of every male student on the campus. A bid to the Blue Key spring

formal is probably the most treasured invi-

tation a Hope coed could have.

Hope College is the only small college in

Michigan that can boast a Blue Key chapter. Plus that it is the only national honorary

fraternity of Collegium Spei.

Blue Key was organized at the University of Florida in 1924, and Hope's chapter was

admitted May 12, 1932. It is composed of senior men selected for high scholarship and active participation in campus affairs; it re-quires three years of outstanding leadership

and service to the college before a man can

become eligible for membership.

Not so difficult to understand, then, is the

reason Blue Key has chosen for its motto, "Serving We Live". Evidence of this service

is the Blue Key bookstore, this year man-aged by Henry Voogd and William Miller. Edgar Dibble, editing the Student Guide, was ably aided and abetted by Marvin Den Herder, Phillip Waalkes and Robert Mont-gomery. Robert Dykstra was chairman of

that special spring party.

With Professor E. Paul McLean as advisor

and with Professors Hinga, Kleinheksel, Raymond, and Lampen as honorary mem-bers, the 1941 Blue Key men added more glory to their fraternity's name. They will be remembered as the group that installed a much needed public address system in the

chapel and also a flood light for the chancel window.

Anchor Standing as the bi-weekly courier of what goes on at Hope, the Anchor,

under the capable leadership of Fritz Bertsch, again had an eventful year, in which it brought forth new ideas, took care of old ones, and gave the staff a chance to emote in writing — something that every student desires.

Big man on the Anchor staff for the last three years has been A1 Van Dyke. He has held the responsible position of Business Manager, and verily he has held it well. Nancy Boynton, Milton Verberg and Forrest Prindle also deserve much credit for the splendid work they have done as the all-important edi-torial and re-write men.

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

Editor Bertsch and his associate, Lorraine Timmer, escorted several of our campus reporters to the Michigan Collegiate Press convention at Lansing. Yes, and just for fun Dolly Kamps engineered the scoop of the year. It turned out to be a successful hayride party that very appropriately wound up at the Anchor Inn. Making the most of business and pleasure, the staff has spent an enjoyable and profitable year.

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

Chemistry Club Every other Wednesday in the chemistry room

there meets that very intellectual group known as the Chemistry Club.

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

The club was organized seventeen years ago for the purpose of creating interest in chemistry. Since class work is so limited the group is thus provided with an extra opportunity to delve into problems which particularly interest them. These problems are presented to the rest of the members in the form of papers at the regular meetings.

Mary Jean Henney takes a look.

Chem club also encourages a feeling of fellow-ship among these students who enjoy a common interest.

The Chemistry Club takes pride in the out-standing graduates who have been its members. The group feels that some of the success of the alumni may be credited to the inspiration received while members of the club.

Pallette and Masque Club All work and no ""play" makes Jack a dull boy,

so a group of drama students caught Miss Ross unaware and practically demanded that something be done. W e wanted Art for Art's Sake!

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

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

asked to assist in making sets and costumes for the 75th Anniversary Pageant.

Yes, we also donned the buskin and the sock, and if the shoe or sock fit — we put it (meaning the play) on. Some of the plays we presented in our workshop were '"The Man in the Bowler Hat", ""The Three Wishes", and ""The Deceivers" — all student directed.

Commons Room The Commons Room, attractively appointed in

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

Open to all students during the day the Com-mons Room offers ping-pong, magazines, games, a radio, or a place to study or just sit and gab. Not long ago it was rumored ahout that several campus romances had started with the mixed doubles tennis tournament.

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

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

Probably you have already realized it, but the Commons Room is the most convenient place on the campus for committee meetings, play re-hearsals, and even ""practices" for the All-College Sing. However, have you realized its other val-ues? You students who spend your time getting ousted from the Library for causing too much racket might here take note. It's your Commons Room. It was in your interest that the Student Council, and the Anchor Staff worked so had for it last year and the year before. It's yours, use it, take care of it.

Milestone This is the first edition of The Milestone,

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

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

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

its scintillating beauty. Not flawless per-haps, but as nearly so as we can make it. Like all diamonds, our s t o n e — T h e Mile-stone, is a product of great pressure. For weeks we heard that the printer had our editor's head "in a vice". W e survived pres-sure and force; we relinquished conserving the midnight oil with which to polish The Milestone.

Here's our jewel, — let it blaze, Levai!

Cosmopolitan

Completing the 1940-41 scholastic

year as an outstanding organization,

Cosmopolitans look from a history of

fifty-one years to a brilliant future

marked with successes comparable to

those achieved by the Green and

White in years past.

Phi Kappa Alpha was organized in

1890. Albert Kuiper, who later be-

came an outstanding minister in the

Reformed Church, was the first presi-

dent. Since that time. Cosmos has

undergone a number of changes, as

have the other organizations on the

campus, until today its function is as

large in social activities as in literary

affairs.

After opening the year with a suc-

cessful pledging campaign under the

direction of House Manager, Thurston

the ranks of Blue Key. Early social

activities were climaxed with the an-

nual Cosmopolitan winter party in

traditional style and a joint meeting

with the sister society, the Delphis.

Scholarship average released at the

end of the first semester showed Phi

Kappa Alpha to have seven of the first

twelve senior men in scholarship. A

majority of the men on the 1940-41

basketball team were Cosmos but re-

serve power was still great enough for

the Green and White to take the inter-

fraternity basketball title. Competi-

tion in softball and track completed

Cosmos activities in intramural sports,

while a never-to-be-forgotten spring

party climaxed the year's social activi-

ties.

So Cosmopolitan, ever adhering to

the ideal set forth and established by

her original founders, is advancing

steadily toward a higher goal. Partici-

pation and leadership in all extra-

curricular activities is now, and ever

will be, the fundamental motivation of

the name of "Cosmopolitan".

Emersonian

Love, Honor, and Success; three

passwords to a noble and inspiring life

epitomize the hopes and aspirations of

Emersonian. The grand and glorious

growth of the society since its inspira-

tion in 1919, the unity of endeavor and

common objective during the first

struggling years, and its culmination in

one of the campus' largest and most

influential organizations, has shown

how adequately Emersonian has cher-

ished its precious ideals.

The fall of 1940 inaugurated the

most successful rushing season in

Emersonian history. Under the leader-

ship of President Harold Colenbran-

der. Vice-president Stanley Slinger-

land and Scribe Edward Clonan,

thirty-one of the campus' outstanding

Freshmen were initiated into the mys-

The winter term found Stanley

Slingerland as the indispensable man

with Joseph Di Giglio assisting him as

In a world growing more grim

every day, it has been good to find the

table talk at the "house" devoted to

football, then basketball, then base-

ball. In a world where democracy has

been driven from some of its greatest

strongholds, it has been good to find

that sanity and balance necessary for

its survival reflected in the "bull ses-

sions" of the brothers.

Knickerbocker

In the year 1909 a group of twelve

men banded together and formed

what was to be known as the Knicker-

bocker Society. Since that small be-

ginning, the Knickerbockers have

undergone a continuous evolution of

growth and development, a thirty-two

year period in which they have at-

tained and maintained a campus posi-

tion of paramount importance.

The Knickerbockers began the year

1940 with high hopes inspired by a

fine group of green, but promising,

freshmen pledges. Senior Arthur

Kronemeyer was president during the

first period. He was ably supported by

Charles Ridenour as vice-president

and Edward Klaus as secretary. Wil-

liam Maclnnes was elected treasurer

for the ensuing year.

meyer as president. Robert Curtis

arranged the programs as vice-presi-

dent and Lester Lampen occupied the

scribe's chair.

This term was an eventful one. The

fall party, a beautifully impressive

affair, was held at the Warm Friend

Tavern. During this period, too, the

Freshmen threw new light on the fra-

ternity life, with the presentation of a

splendid and decorative floor lamp.

The final term began with the selec-

tion of Robert Curtis to lead the

society. Lester Lampen and Paul Van

Eenanaam were chosen as vice-presi-

dent and secretary. This term was

climaxed by the spring party during

the latter part of May.

George Eliot once said, "The past is

here in what was done yesterday; the

future is here in what is done today."

So Knickerbocker, building in the

All-College Sing Echoing with the blended notes of

men's and women's voices, the first

all-college sing was given last spring

on Hope's campus by the fraternities

and sororities.

The Sorosis society, directed by

Carolyn Kremers, took first place and

was awarded a silver loving cup for

their rendition of "Sylvia". The cup

was donated by Mrs. Grace Fenton,

who recently retired from the college

music faculty.

Japanese lanterns, lending a festive

air to the occasion, lighted the scene

on the steps of Graves Hall in a most

charming manner.

Each of the participating groups

rendered two selections; one their

society song and the other, a semi-

classical selection. Stephen Foster's

works held the spotlight here.

While the groups were taking their

places. Dean Dykstra read a short his-

tory of each of the competing societies.

Preceding the program the Hope col-

lege orchestra, directed by Cornie

Steketee, played several selections.

The sing, given under the sponsor-

ship of Women's Activities League

and planned by Chairman Margaret

Bilkert, was given again this year,

June 14.

Memories? Plenty of them will en-hance the year for all members. Dur-ing the "rush" season there was the Alethean fair . . . the dinner at Anchor Inn, followed by a taffy pull at Waldo's. Then came the eventful day when the pledges were entertained from sun-up to sun-down, dinner at Cherry Inn, heightened by "Moon Over Burma". A series of clever weekly programs, the Lincoln Tea, and the Valentine treat followed. Climaxing the winter activities, the Aletheans took their guests for an hilarious tour to the "Land of Bunk". None of us will ever forget the spring formal.

Although Alethea is the youngest

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

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

Delphi

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

scribe while a Senior.

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

"And when he came I sent my room-mate down . . . we heard something like this at every Heifer session. Cosmos treated us to a theater party and later on, a joint meeting.

imrs Dorian

Dear Diary,

Today I am nineteen years old. I was looking over all my diaries and

memoirs from past years tonight; I wanted to see just what I had accom-plished. In nineteen years there should certainly be something to make one's life worth while.

When I was just a tiny baby it seems people thought of calling me "Thespian", but finally they decided on Dorian because it stood for many great things, such as strength of mind and body, purpose, and beauty of

character. I have tried to live up to my name, but it isn't a task you can look back upon and say, "I've accom-plished it." You just have to keep at it all your life. But I do have a helper, a real fairy godmother who aids me greatly. From the first. Miss Laura Boyd has been a "peach".

I'm lucky! I have about forty close friends, real heart-to-heart pals here at

school, and we do have such good

times. Of course, all of us Hopeites

are friends, but we forty are a real,

organized unit. We all like the same

the autumn slumber party, the yummy midnight spreads, the "quill and

quets, the rip-roaring informal initia-

tion followed by the candle-lit formal

installation of new girls? I could go

on forever! All together we have add-

ed our bit to college life and I'm proud

of every one of these friends o' my

heart. May our creed of purpose unite

Women's Athletic Association Four years ago the women on Hope's

campus began to show their independence, and as a result there has been an increased interest in athletics for women.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Athletic Debt Diggers

Athletic Debt Diggers, the group of

bright, willing, young coeds who are distin-

guished by their orange and blue sweaters, "'dug in" to help the Athletic Association

carry a heavy load.

Today this organization of ambitious girls

continues its important function. These are

the girls who sell the oh-so-good hot dogs

and coffee plus candy and pop at the foot-

ball games, remember? This money goes to

aid the men's athletic association.

But, the A.D.D. girls don't stop when the

grid season closes. They are also around for

every basketball game to sell frostbites, more candy, and the ever-necessary chewing-gum to the sports fans. Their skill at catching

coins is a sight fearful and wonderful to be-hold. Proceeds from their sales provide the

necessary funds for the women's sports

activities.

Each spring the girls celebrate at a ban-

quet at which elections are held and new

members are selected to take the places of

the retiring Seniors. Last year Marian Tysse

was honored with the presidency, and she it

was who officiated at the meeting when one

Freshman from each sorority was chosen to

serve on A.D.D.

This year the girls enjoyed a prosperous

season and were particularly happy over the

cooperation they received not only from the

fans but the city council! The latter installed

new cupboards for their use at the football

games.

Crowd cheers as rival team stops Hope gain.

Hope a 20-0 victory. Captain Hene-

veld played his usual outstanding

game at left end.

The Alma Scots, playing here the

following Friday, got off to a slow

start, but found themselves in the

second half, and took home a 19-7

victory. Tait and Kirby led a hard

running attack and lateralled Hene-

veld and Co. dizzy to give Hope its

first loss of the year.

At Kazoo's Homecoming the next

week, the Hingamen renewed the old

rivalry with the Hornets. At stake was

the famous pair of wooden shoes

which Coach Hinga brought back with

him. Whitey Riemersma duplicated

last year's 7-0 victory by taking a lat-

eral from Monty and scoring the only

touchdown early in the first half.

Monty's record remained intact as he

kicked the extra point, and the line

kept the Hornets from the forty yard

line. Heneveld played the outstanding

game of his long career, making most

of the tackles.

Two week's rest put the boys in fine

trim for the second Homecoming

game in a row, this time at Hillsdale.

The home team scored just as the first

half ended, but failed to convert. The

second half had just started when

Hope capitalized on one of its many

opportunities. That Riemersma fellow

again scoring from the five yard line.

Montgomery's try for extra point was

blocked, ending his string of success-

ful kicks at six. Hakken showed the

spirit which won for him the trophy

given each year to the man with the

best spirit. Final score, 6-6.

Again this year we had the defend-

140

ing champions on our field for the Homecoming game. This year's game with Albion was well spotted with fumbles, incomplete passes and penal-ties. At the end of the first quarter, our boys opened up. Passes and line bucks brought the ball to the three. But the Albion line held, and they took over on the half yard line. Late in the second quarter, Albion recov-ered a blocked punt deep in our terri-tory, and went on to make the only score of the day. Hope was outgained, but not outfought, and the tide of vic-tory could have gone either way. With this game ended our M.I.A.A. season, and we ended up in a third place tie with Hillsdale, behind Alma and Albion.

The final game of the year was

played with Grand Rapids J. C. under the floodlights at Riverview park.

Coach Steele brought a powerful team

built around Lou Charon. In the third

quarter Mike Crell dropkicked a field

goal giving J. C. a 3-0 lead. Hope came roaring back, and mid-way in the fourth period, Timmer, sophomore

star, carried the ball for a touchdown.

With only two minutes to go, J. C. blocked a punt, and recovered on the

ten yard line. Crell and Charon car-

ried over in three plays. Final score,

10-6.

Freshman Football

Coach Jack Schouten gathered a

goodly looking group of Frosh to-

gether and scheduled two games for

them. One was with Alma and the

other with Kalamazoo.

Throughout the Alma contest Hope

held the upper hand, and uncovered

some varsity possibilities. Koopsen,

Davis, Yeomans, Slager, Spencer and

Morgan were all good. Little Koop-

sen did a "Tom Harmon", doing most

of the passing, kicking and ground

gaining for Hope. Koopsen and Davis

scored for Hope, and just to confuse

you, Davis scored for Alma, but the

final score was 13-6 Hope.

Up at Kazoo, they fared worse. Mc-

Allister, Olivet and Somers carried the

mail for Kalamazoo, and took the

measure of our boys, 18-0. Davis and

Koopsen, backs, and Spencer in the

line, were the mainstays of the Dutch

play.

Next year we will be seeing many of

these boys on the varsity.

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

Varsity Basketball Graduation last year of five varsity

men left big holes to fill, and aspirants were out in the gym even before the football season was over. Back from last year's squad came four lettermen. Supported by some of last year's strong Frosh, prospects for placing high in M.I.A.A. race were good.

A lop-sided 59-39 win over Muske-gon Junior opened the varsity sched-ule. This game showed that Hope was not to be counted out of the race. The Adrian team was our first M.I.A.A. opponent, but was defeated 46-35 as Hope came through in the "pinches". The following week we beat Kazoo to continue our winning streak. Not until the last three minutes was this rough and tumble battle decided. The boys came home with bruises and a 43-37 victory.

During the Christmas holidays.

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

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

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

The Albion game was played with-

1H

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

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

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

The next week Hope played three teams, Hillsdale, Olivet, and Ypsi. At Hillsdale, Hope had no trouble out-classing the Dales and winning 68-31. On a weekend trip, we first met Olivet,

One more basket to tie up the game.

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

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

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

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

The record books give us fourteen wins out of seventeen starts. We out-scored our opponents, 778-626.

Long John Visser tips it in.

Freshman Basketball The Hope College freshman squad,

due to the excellent material and coaching by Jack Schouten, finished their season with an unbeaten record.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Members of this year's squad are G. Dalman, P. Van Dort, G. Slager, L. Nienhuis, C. Van Liere, F. Rothi, W. Anderson, J. Yeomans, J. Vander-broek, J. Kleis, F. Baker, R. Hamm, J. Krum, C. Knooihuizen, and D. Fris.

Baseball The baseball team this year began

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

Returning veterans are Zoet, Van Strien, Morrison, Ensing, Reus, Fyl-stra, Hempstead, and Vandenberg, junior sensation from the minor leagues. These men, strengthened by Colenbrander, Baas, Otteman, Ander-son, Spencer, Van Liere, Whitworth, Valusek, present a formidable line-

up. The team is much improved over last year, and next year's prospects are good.

There are still six games to be played, and with a few breaks, the Dutchmen will win more than their share.

Jack Schouten coaches f rom the baseline.

147

Track As has been the case in the last few

years, Coach Schouten has been handi-

capped by lack of material, as most

of last year's point winners were lost

by graduation. What team we had was

built around the five returning veter-

ans, Verburg, Dibble, Bruggers, June

and Vander Woude. The first meet

of the year was at East Lansing, and

Jack went down with a small group.

Altho' they did not place, the boys

were not discouraged, and felt that

they had gained much in experience.

As this is written, the M.I.A.A. field

meet is yet three weeks off, and we can

not, or will not make any predictions.

All we can say is that we know the

team will do its best, whatever the out-

come.

During the season. Jack worked

hard with several freshman hopefuls

and felt that these boys will show up

well in the coming years.

Coach Schouten will have a chance

to look over other prospects May

ninth, when the annual May Day

meet is held, and the fraternities fight

for the cup.

Golf When the course dried out after the

winter snows, Coach Hinga took his

group of driving golfers out and

whipped them into shape for their

matches. The only returning veteran

was Bob Dykstra, who played in the

number one slot. Others out include

Lokker, Pelon, Baar, Timmer and

Dykstra.

Their first match was against a strong

J. C. squad which were just nosed out

by Kazoo, and altho' they lost. Coach

Hinga was greatly impressed by their

showing. The schedule consists of

several matches, climaxed by the

M.I.A.A. field meet in the late spring.

The Hope squad will finish well up in

the race for the M.I.A.A. crown, and

we will string along with coach and

pick them for not lower than third.

Varsity Tennis

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

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

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

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

Back home with a tan and a Southern accent, they prepared to practice hard for the conference matches. At this early date, none have been played, but we still go out on the limb and predict a second place in the M.I.A.A. standings for Hope's Dutchmen.

Interfraternity Sports 8 2

Under a broadened interfraternity O program this year, the four fraternities O entered into competition with great interest. 2

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

PI Football fans were impressed with 2 next year's prospects as the last game 23 turned into a first class brawl. Final Q

Z

> score: 26-21.

An innovation this year was inter-fraternity bowling. Inaugurated by Jack Schouten, and highly popular with the boys, it was a great success. The Fraternal team led the league with the Cosmos close behind in second. The Emmies were third.

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

Winners of the 1941 Interfraternity Track Meet were the wingfoots of the Emersonian Society, taking the meet ^ by a comfortable margin, the final 2 score adding up to 73 for the Emer- ^ somans, 60 for the Fraters, 14 to the -c Cosmos, and 8 to the Independents. §
