We dust oil a few books, try on a woolly sweater and pair of saddle shoes, and decide to spend the next nine months in Calvin. Theref upon we pack 'our bags and migrate to Grand Rapids, the home of Calvin College. Centrally located on the campus is the college building, an impressive and inspiring edifice - its warm red brick and sturdy portals symbolic of Calvin's lofty purf poses.

Without' their explanations and elucidations, the facts and data and information which are necesf sary for our education, would be impossible to master. We should seize every opportunity to seek their advice and counsel, for their insight into problems and the scope of their views is so much greater than our own. The Christian doctrines and truths that permeates their teaching should instil in us a greater respect and admiration for our mentors. The form of education we receive is well founded and purposes something real and dennite - the ultimate glorihcation of God. With' out such an aim our learning would he mundane and useless. Although to he respected, our faculty is not to he stood in awe of. Thcy are not superfbeings who live apart from us, but ordinary men whose lives are parallel to ours.

We meet new people with new ideas that in turn stimulate us to new thinking. We make conf tacts which influence our entire lives and alter the trend of our lives. Each student at Calvin is unique-his personality is original, his interests are origif nal, and his appearance is original. Yet, all have a common purpose in mind-to be educated. You may think that to say that is superfluous, but it is not. There are many students who regard college attendance merely as a social venture. Of course, we have our social life at Calvin, and a very fine life it isg but over and above that is this matter Draflx In fn Pl1y.ri1'i.vl.v .-2 1 I f v l . Z Cfhllfifl rxuilur l2a.rrnn'11l yuxrip of getting an education. The average student at Calvin works hard to get through school, and in order to profit by the investment he makes for his education, he exerts a diligent effort to maintain a good scholastic record. A tour through our building will aver the industry of the students. In the quiet confines of the library they pour over their assign' ments. In the laboratories in the lower halls, you'll find them in the afternoon: analyzing and synthesizing in the Chemistry labs, disf secting in the Grganic Science labs, affirming laws in the Physics lab, and drafting in the Drawing room. Qn the other hand those not encumf bered with afternoon work may be seen on the campus - participating in intra' mural events, discussing current school problems and policies, or just lounging around. The morning hours are much the same for all: classes, chapel at 9:40, and an occasional free period. Our chapel ex' ercises are simple but inspiring. They consist of hymn singing, short addresses by faculty members, announcements by the President, and frequently a guest speaker. Wednesday mornings are al' lotted for student chapel. During this time all announcements and matters per' taining to the student body are handled. These meetings this year were led in a very efficient fashion by Bob Heyns, the president of the student council. The student's life is a full one and rightly so, for his college years should be the most advantageous and enjoyable of his life.

RESPITE After we've settled We find time to attend a few parties, enjoy dramas by the Thespians and music by the oratario society, choir, band, orchesf tra, quartettes, and sundry individuals. We supf port and watch our basketball team, participate in intramurals, and finally take a brief vacation. RESPONSIBILITY COMPLETI Having passed the halffway mark, we see burf dens ahead. We survive examinationsg we take part in forensics and assume responsibility in various clubs. However We still have a little time for the spring sports: track, tennis, and golf. ON With the end in sight we really concentrate on our studies. We make up back work, take final examinations, and, if Seniors, we even graduate. Such is college life: it sounds routine, but its a grand experience-every minute of it. IH IHE PHGES UF. THE PRISM - through which the spectrum of college life is displayed. IMT! SEL!

Deep within us lies a realization of the boundless good, the tireless energy, and the high idealism which characterize our educational director. His years at Calvin college have not mellowed the force of his influence in our lives, but, rather, have strength' encd it. Scholarly, progressive, and fearless in defense of his principles Dr. Van Zyl epitomizes for us the type of leader who best serves the cause of Christian education in all its aspects. rrzllufr brfffflfn' ,,' ' A 2-Kei:-X H-19,43 AS I 'N ffl' l,illI'lll'.1'.'

Anticipation describes that first morning when our 1939 Freshmen came to school on September the 6th to enroll their wee selves into that machine that eats -up young things and turns them out in four years much Wiser. A very complex task, this registration business - by the time one finishes he is very adept at writing his own name and address. But the willing aid of our understanding professors enabled us to survive the ordeal. After a most careful consideration, a course was selected which was most beneficial or convenient Cas the case may bel, and for a slight pittance fre' ceived by Mr. Vossj we became fullffledged students of Calvin College. perzfzrzlmg aGQcZc!1f'ess With light tred and bright gaze we tripped up those granite steps to atf tend our first classes and chapel ex' ercises. President Broene welcomed us and dictated the course of events for the coming week: orientation week. He then delivered a short adf dress, stating his position as acting President, and asking for cooperation from both faculty and students throughout the coming year. The sin' cerity of his tone and the trust he placed in us impressed us all and at once won our loyalty and devotion to the administration. The very nature of this nrst chapel exercise foretold a year of coordination and pleasant' ness. s Qi wi z essczge io inf' mc fmaies si-'oizfa ffl CLJ O! 'If'lfl'1:1 I.1iSli'l ClHON God willing, you are about to attain one objective in your lives - graduation from college. I hope, however, that your objective has been not so much graduation as education. The two are not at all synonymous. Graduation from college means one thing - is it oncoming senility that leads me to think that it means less and less? Education is another thing. Your diploma certifies your graduation, not your education. College never yet has, neither ever can educate a man in the sense oi 11 finished product. We are educated in and through life. Blessed is the man whom God takes into His school! Students often think that we teachers are too severe, assign too long lessons, are too strict in discipline. I think we are often too gentle, or better, too soft. God is infinitely kinder to His pupils than we can hope to be. But because He realizes their innate perversity, their frequent unwillingness to learn, God takes His pupils in hand, gives them hard lessons, subjects them to severe discipline. The outcome is amazing. Cut of Iacobs He makes Israelsg out of Sauls, Paulsg out of Davids, men after His own heart. My wish for you is that one day you may graduate from Gods school. Then you will be truly educated in the fullest and deepest sense of that muchfabused word. 1. BROENE. f xA,- e . 1 JoHANNEs BROEN1-2,A.M., P1-mdgnf i i Instructor in Psychology and Education Leader, friend, and guide he ranks with the truly great men who have contributed to the growth and perpetuation of our Calvinistic heritage. As administrator he is efficient and thorough, and as teacher he possesses a prolific store of knowledge and understanding which has endeared him to the hearts of all those who have dealings with him. Sim' plicity, sincerity and serenity are reflected in his character. N a civilization that is perforated with questionable doctrines, false standards, and pragmatic notions of living, it is difficult for those who have chosen the life of the Christian to maintain their 'unique individuality unless institutions are conf structed and supported for the perpetuation of the principles upon which their l CUIIIIJPI Infornmlfon belief is founded. The youth must be trained so that they, when their time comes, may be an influence in the lives of those who follow. Calvin College is represen' tative of the efforts of our predecessors in attaining to this goal, and the staff of instructors, in devoting their lives to the cause of Christian education, constitute the means whereby this end may be realized. Each, in his chosen field, strives to integrate the knowledge of the world with the basic ideals of the faith which he professes. The students of Calvin College, who have in their daily contacts with the faculty, learned to know them intimately, have utmost confidence in their ability as Christian leaders. We present the Calvin College faculty: H. HENRY MEETER,Ph.D., Professor of Bible. With people of this type so very rare in the world, we feel privileged to know a man who embodies a true Christian sincerity. A sincere love for his charges fairly bubbles from Dr. Meeter. It manifests itself in the zeal with which he conf ducts his classes, the conviction that he has of the importance of his message, the tender care he exerts over his flock. Nor is it in vain that he labors. He is an important and appreciated member of the faculty. if 26 H HENRY VAN ZYL, Ph.D., Professor of Educational Metlrods and Theory. A true education is the awakening of love for the truth, giving a just sense of duty, opening the eyes of the soul to the great purpose and end of life. It is not merely giving words as thoughts or mere maxims as living principles. It is not teaching to be honest because honesty is the best policy, but because it is right. It is teaching the individual to love good for the sake of good, to be virtuous in action because it is so with the heart, and, most important, to love and serve God supremely, not from fear alone, but from love of His perfect character. ' LAMBERT FLQKSTRA, A.M., Instructor in History and Edulcation. Educational policies of the present day are char' acterized by the lack of correlation between theory and fact, a situation which in the estimation of Professor Flokstra demands the careful study of all those who profess a vital interest in the educational growth of the individual. It is his desire to stimulate in the heart of each student an awareness of the problems which confront him in the field of educaf tion and instruction, and to present a solution based on solid Christian principles. HENRY STOB, Ph.I,J., Professor of Philosophy. The search for ultimate reality which characterizes the stream of philosophic thought from the time of Thales to the present day is an eternal issue confrontf ing mankind. The world of thought is perforated with diverse and ramihed explanations and theories of universal existence, but we who acknowledge God as our Ultimate and Absof , H H. Henry Meeter lute reality possess a unihed Hem. vm, ly, Lambert J. Flnkstra and harmonious conception Henry Stub which defies supersedure. H 27 ll .E P eter Hoeksfra Henry J. Rysknmp Richard Drosl PETER HCEKSTRA, Ph.D., Professor of Political Science and History. Characterized by quiet dignity, and forcefulness of character, Dr. I-Ioekstra has been a dennite influence in the shaping of strong, virile, Christian youths throughout the period of his work at Calvin. Through his persistent efforts the of Calvin College have experienced a closer touch with the historical of the past, and a keener appreciation of world events of the present. HENRY J. RYSKAMP, Ph.D., Professor of Economics and Sociology. One learns from Dr. Ryskamp the value of being free from prejudice. He strives always to make 'us aware of social problems and the position we should take in regard to them. His classes and personal contacts are continual sources of inspiraf tion because of his emphasis on the joys of the Christian struggle for better things. RICHARD DRCST, Ph.D., lnstructoi' in History and Social Sciences. Years of training tempered with innate qualities of character have produced in Dr. Drost an affable and understand' ing nature which is a definite attribute in pedagogical activity. He has entered our ranks on the merits achieved in the Held of educational activity, and the years will prove his Worth as a capable instructor and adviser as he progresses in his work at Calvin College. . Thrz111bi11.u-dpositiorl fl 28 JD HENRY J. VAN ANDEL, A.M., Professor of Dutch History arid Larigiiage. Propelled by a vibrant spirit of prof gressive idealism, Professor Van Andel exercises one of the most vital' izing influences on the campus. Always congenial, he epitomizes for us the spirit of the real savant. He advocates the diligent study of the past, firmly convinced that the rich heritage of our people is capable of leading us on to heights of unprecef ,,,,,,.,,,,,,,,,, dented achievement. SEYMCUR SWETS, A.M., Professor of Mzcsic and Speech. LlMLlSlC washes away from the soul the dust of everyday lifeg it soothes the savage breastg it is the medicine of the breaking heart. Through the untiring efforts of Professor Swets the Music department at Calvin College has attained an incomparable degree of success and recognition. The Calvin A Cappella Choir has left an indelible imprint in the hearts of our church people which time will not soon erase. IVIRS. GRACE PELS, A.M., Dean of Wornerrg Associate Instructor in Education. Her varied background, both practical and educational, has served to equip Mrs. Puls excellently for this difficult position. The undeniable success of her first year is due primarily to the fact that she, herself, is a fine example of the type of womanhood Calvin desires to produce. Her charm, poise, sincerity and under' standing have inspired in us appreciation for her. Henry J.

The unity and harmony of the cosmos, the law and order of planetary action, and the magnitude of creation as told by Professor Nieuwdorp, tend to stimulate in the heart of the scholar a feeling of awe and reverence for the handiwork of the Creator. H. G. DEKKER, Mrs., Professor of Clieniistryg Registrar. Increased emphasis on the study of Chemistry by Prof. Dekker, has led to the expansion of our Science Department to the extent where it now occupies a prominent place in the curriculum. An accurate knowledge of students' abilities and weaknesses makes him an understanding and sympathetic instrucf tor.. The fruits of his work will live on to immorf talize him in our memories. HARRY WASSINK, B.s., Instructor in Physics and Engineering. lvlr. Wassink is one of the few men on our cam' pus who can clearly demonstrate and explain the complicated functions of some of our twentieth cenf tury technological machinery in terms simple enough for the average student to comprehend. Unassuming in public life, he yet possesses a wealth of knowledge which is the envy of any technician. JQHN DE VRIES, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Sciences. We have learned to appreciate Dr. DeVries' scholf arship, his stimulating lectures and his enlightened approach to our problems. Even in this short year he has demonstrated again and again that in him we have a real friend. It is our James Nieuwdorp hope that the coming years Harry G. Dekker . I . may increase the conviction Harry J. Wassink John De visa. in his heart that his place is with us. cc :fo n I 0 H N P. V A N HAITSMA, Ph.D. Pro' fcssoi' of Organic i. Sciences. i. His scintilling man' ner of presentation, his infectious love for his held, his capacity for speaking a simple tongue, qualify Dr. Van John P. Vun Hnilsmu Edwin Y. Monsma Haitsma as at Competent instructor. His statewide reputation and unending quest for further knowledge stimulate in us admiration and respect. Can ynu iuinyinr tlml-lm fZ,L'iJll'llIHll' .41-lixrir 11.vyn1j11r1l1'.f EDWIN Y. MONSMA, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Biology. Both in the classroom and on the street, Dr. Monsma reflects a genial personality and a friendly disposition conducive to the establish' - ment of a wholesome studentfteacber relationship. In the laboratory he takes great pains to illustrate the complexities of the animal and plant structures. ALBERT H. MUYSKENS, A.M., Physical Director. Coach Muyskens is a strong advocate of the princif ple: sound body and sound mind are inseparable. His years of service with the athletic department have 5 added greatly to the prestige of our school through the establishment of wider contacts with other institutions- Albert H.

The the force of his exposition and each added year finds us of his efforts in our behalf . E BR Professor of Nlodern Languages, well to discover a kindly man with a dry sense of humor oblivious of the trepidations his personage instills f younger students. Qf him it can in truth be said beneath the rough exterior lies a heart of gold. O One must RALPH STOB, PHD., Professor of Greek Language and Culture. Dr. Stob embodies the virtues of a distinctive character. Fearless and scholarly he merits acclaim as Calf . A . vin's authority on classif cal language and literaf ture. He typifies the glory that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome, for he is steeped in the lore of ancient philosophy and thought. Ralph Stob William T. Radius if 32 JJ WILLIAM T. RADIUS, AM., Instructor in the Latin Language. Language is a solemn thing, for there is no tracing the connection of ancient people and thought but by language. Professor Radius has made it his life work to perpetuate the classical tool of expression which has been so carefully preserved throughout the ages. His wit is incomparableg his personality engagf ing, and his profound knowledge is the l object of every student's envy. Tha, La,i,,,.,,,i,,, ANTI-IQNY HQEKEMA, A.M., Instructor in English and Psychology. Keenly aware of the many problems which confront the average college student, Mr. Hoekema has made it his work to champion the cause of growing youth. Friendly and appreciative in daily contacts, scholarly and capable in the classroom, Mr. Hoekema is a wholesome influence on the campus. IVIARIAN SCHOLLAND, A.M., Assistant Instructor in English. Those of us who have learned to know Miss Scholland are not at all surprised at the success she has achieved, for her quiet, unassuming manner belies the strength that is in her. ICSEPHINE BAKER, A.B., Librarian. To Miss Baker, our librarian, we extend a word of appreciation for her patience and cooperation in assisting us with our book selections and reference material. Patient, kind and helpful, we have learned to rely on her in the solution of our problems connected with outside work. . ,I Anthony I-Iockcmu Marian Schoollund Josephine Baker H 33 75 HE Student Council made history this year. Perhaps the most significant event in student life was the joint meeting, on January 12, of the Council with the Committee of Ten appointed by Synod to investigate the conditions here at Calvin College. The Council laid the facts before the honorable gentlemen with the hope that some importance would be attached to its opinions and suggestions. May history repeat itself in the continuation of these friendly relations between STUDENT COUNCIL iiftHi?fff'fi?1'?tiJl+i.KZ',Zff.'. ff. '?Z,'InsIiaf.'f .1'fi'iiifrii.,.ifL, 'IW' fiE:ff.'ZZ'.E: our church leaders and student representatives. Certainly they will be mutually beneficial, for the Synod will have a new perspective on student life and problems, and the students will learn the charted course of a Christian institution. Aside from this eventful meeting, the Council has functioned in the traditional manner. As an organization of student representatives, it has endeavored in all its deliberations and actions to fulfill its purpose of impartially governing the student body. It planned and managed the activities of the Soup Bowl, and conf ducted several allfschool parties to foster friendly relations and the growing school spirit among students. As part of its annual business the Student Council again made its recommendations for the allotment of funds from the organization fee, and nominated students for the allfschool elections. Roger Heyns, our versatile and capable president, deserves the hearty thanks of the Council and the student body for his able direction of student chapel and his leadership in Council activities. The other officers and Council members also deserve commendation for the part they played in making the past year a success' ful one. U 34 U ALVINITES, both male and female, donned their sportive air and old clothes on a beautiful September afternoon which was the climax of a week of artificial hostility and hatred between the lofty Sophomores and the bewildered Freshmen. They migrated to Franklin Park where keen sportsmanship and rivalry was soon to run rampant. The bewilderment did not linger long, however, for the Frosh were in the fight with tooth and nail, and by strong determination and brawny muscle succeeded in giving the struggling Sophs a thorough drenching in one of the decisive battles for supremacy. Hall St. Hollow was the scene for the last exciting event of the afternoon. The battle of soot and flour proved to be a victory for the sodden Sophs. Having won most of the contests, they were officially proclaimed victors for the afternoon and maintained their supremacy. just as much bedraggled and dirty as their opponents, the cheerful losers emerged from the cloudy valley with lusty cheers for their worthy conquerors. On the evening of this memorable day, formal togs replaced the old clothes of the afternoon and the Knights and their ladies assembled at the Trinity Meth' odist Church. A delicious dinner was enjoyed by faculty members and students. Flowers graced the table, crepe paper lined the walls and happiness reigned o'er all. Dough boy: Lf! 'fm ha-vi' il, Frcslznmu 1 K 35 U Our amiable new Chemistry professor, Dr. John De Vries, enlightened us with an inspiring address about the privileges of teaching and attending a Christian College. Amazing musical talent was exhibited by Helen De Jager as her fingers rippled over the keys. And, of course, the traditional brief messages of the class presif dents fBob Heyns, Wally Hoffman, Bob Bolt, and Alvin Wiersniaj were heard. Gord Buter, as toastmaster, supplied much of the humor of the evening. The highlight of the program, perhaps, was the Professor Quiz number in which our dear faculty members participated. This afforded them the distinct opportunity ' ,h.' '09-s I. Thr Frosll look a 111'ali11g,' ro did fhr ball l lnmw.r r'o11.v111ruflhz' halrrd of letting us in on how much they knew beyond their own field. At least one professor outwitted his colleagues. Then came the most impressive event of the day. Back to the campus we went. Flames from a huge bonnre already were soaring to unknown heights. Calvinites gathered 'round to witness the ceremony. The Soph and Frosh representatives were on hand, pledging to cease all scalping. Majestically they buried the hatchet in the depths of the heat. The Calvin Friendship song burst forth from everyone's lips and its dying echoes floated away with the midnight breeze. ff 36 U EWILDERED and uncertain, the Freshman Class was first initiated into i college life. We felt decidedly green i in the presence of those haughty upper classmen, and their quizzical gaze made us feel as if we were walking around without any shoes on. After the slight conilict of the Soup Bowl was settled in favor oi- the Sophomores, the latter formally entertained us at the Bowl ban' quet. We Freshmen were truly impressed by the formality of the affair seated: Asia,,,w:,5gmgicgazgapgrygigfisugh Mem: and the spirit of congeniality that pref vailed. The proverbial spirit of friendship conveyed by the hatchet ceremony was readily accepted by the entire class. At Dunneback Farm the Sophomores gave a riotous party in our honor in true country style. Costumes of all types were sported, ranging from pantaloons saved from the gay nineties to modern riding breaches. In the spring We Freshmen returned the favor by entertaining the Sophomores at another party. Aside from these highlights in our social life, everyday Calvin atmosphere has made us realize more fully the real significance of Calvin's purpose. The Freshmen soon their talents by taking a prominent part in Choir, the band, the dramatics club, f have been outstanding. Witli a year at to the three years ahead. The progress we past our desire to accom' plish more in the future. we have Calvin spark, We hope that when it is our turn important college life, We will be able to live up to the that us by former classes. if 37 H VVillarcl Alderink Elsie Arkema Hilda Aukeman John Berghuis Juilius Bergsma Helen Biddle Bernard Bouma Robert Bouwsma Barbara Brake Lois Bronkemn Lois Brouwer Dick Buddingh Louise Coeling Bernice Couzynse Ejane Decker Clarence De Haan Helen De Jager Elaine Dekker Alexander De Jong john De Kruyter Richard De Ridder U 38 DJ TOP ROW Cfrom lo.-ft Lu rilrhtl VVilmn Dc Ruischcr John De Vries Karel De Wal Malefyt Calvin Disselkncn Frances Dornlmos Sheila Drost SECOND ROYV lfrum loft Ln riyrhty Cornelia Dykstra Gerrit Feyen Melvin Frieswyk Lnulsc Grotenhuls Ruth Guikema Rena Haagsma THIRD ROW lfrom left to rixzhtl Merle Haanes Deborah Harkemix john Hekman Doris Hcyboer Irene Heyboer Betty Hoekstra 1? lil fi?

IT was on a beautiful autumn night, the air was crisp, and countless stars shone in the sky - a perfect evening for one of the important social events of the year - the Sophflirosh Party. The air was not cold enough to keep down the spirits of a boisterous group of college lads and lassies. They were at Dunnabeck Farms- one hundred and fifty farmers and farmerettes, dressed in faded, patched, blue denim, and homespun calico. A few calls as, Hey, Hank, ya got the milkin' done? - and the party was begun. Qf course they had to pick the best dressed farmer and his wife. This honor went to Louis Vander Til and Clarice Vander Kieft. Then our dramatic jacob Hasper vit much entusiasm gave his witty and witless reading, Entusiasm . This seemed to have set off a spark and the entire group joined in playing games befitting the evening and the place, such as, Farmer in the Dell and Cat and Rat . Cornstalks and pumpkins were strewn over the floor, and through the dustfladen air came the crooning voice of Fuzz Van Faasen, accom' panied by Chris De Winter, in his own inimitable style with, An Apple for the Teacher and 'LThe Saint Louis Blues - and with the dying strains of -Roll Cut The Barrel , the cider was poured-it was lunch time. And such eats-apples, harnburgs, and chocolate milk, topped with homefmade pie a la mode -leaving the crowd less boisterous but quite satisfied. And now from the barn, whose beams and rafters had echoed with happy shouts, the men and maidens wandered home. The barn doors had closed upon another successful Sophfldrosh Party. ff 71 Applr' for the Tczzfhcru 1 C 44 J J ITUATED happily between the bed wilderecl Freshmen on the one hand and the worldly wise Juniors and Seniors on the other, the Sophomores enjoy a moment's respite from the rush of Colo lege life. This is a period of adjustmentl and growth --- a time to take root. This is the time for finding one's self - a time to chisel out a niche in these halls of learning. No more allowances are to be made for youth and inexperience-each , is to be taken for what he iS. The Weak standing: John vm. Dellen, B nrney Steen Seated: Robert Bolt, Herman Van Fussen have been singled out, the bluffs of the bluffers have all been called- all the talented are marked -The Professors have found us out! A second year is almost completed and the Sophomores are gradually catching on in this business of growing wise. Its representatives have taken foremost posif tions in every branch of the school curriculum. Even though studies press hard, social obligations have not been neglected. With traditional discourtesy and with its own peculiar grace, the class initiated the Freshmen into the mysteries of intellectual life by administering to them a severe physical beating at the annual Soup Bowl. Then the true caliber of the Sophomores shone through-with no reference made to any previous training of the now forlorn first year men, each took a smoky lantern from a nail, lit it, and herded the yearlings to the big white barn at Dunneback's farm. Blue denim and checkered gingham, the smell of drying hay, sweet cider fresh from the mill, crunchy apples and finally a spicy slice of moon-that's the secret of Sophomore hospitality. How those rafters echoed, how the floor of the old barn cracked and creaked- -thegold piano giggled childishly when tickled by old man De Winter, and Calvin's own - Cowboy-joe, Fuzz Van Faasen, rode high in the saddle of popularity, singing in ragtime. Sophs and Frosh met and rejoiced with one another at the Farmers Party. Animosity was forgotten and all was well between them. Sharing the burden of direction of the Sophomore Class is its versatile president, Bob Bolt, together with Barney Steen, Fuzz Van Faasen and John Van Dellen.

The president of the class introduced the editorfinfchief, who asked for loyalty to the staff and cooperation between the members of the staff. Chuck Dekker then announced the staff members who were to assist him in the publishing of the year book. After each had responded to the announcement of his appointf ment by rising, Chuck introduced the Business Manager with a few well chosen words. In like manner Bud Schaafsma appointed his cofworkers. The program continued with Ilah Vanden Beldt improvising at the piano after being denied the use of the organ because of unwarranted suspicions. A quartet composed of Al Posthuma, Art Mulder, Warren Pylman, and Iohn Van Dellen sang a few entertaining numbers and willingly obliged with several additional songs. After the program several Winsome sophomore girls served delicious refresh' ments downstairs with the pleasant background of radio music and enjoyable chatter. An informal group soon gathered about Ilah at the piano and a community sing developed. After the strains of music died away we were entertained by Edla Teele's auctioning ability in dispensing with the remaining pies and ice cream. It must have been Edla's way of auctioning because people just dorft pay that much for one pie-and then turn around and buy it over again. The group now met for the remainder of the program which consisted of mov' ing pictures commented upon by Peter Kok. The evening proved to be very pleasant. The only flaw was Chuck's spoiling of the candle light effect by claiming he couldn't read his notes in the dark!

The many duties and responsibilities which necessarily must be met by the thirdfyear class were determinedly overcome.

The Junior Class as a whole has supported the staff enthusiastically. Crganizing into teams we began a real campaign. The girls' first venture was the presentation of Ben East's nature pictures-the only entertainment that would pass the faculty. However, the beautifully colored pictures proved the latter's good judgment. And don't forget the tempting delectables on sale, always ready to drain your purse. The fellas operated the familiar corner cokefmachine and trucked around for old paper - all for the cause. The candleflit Prism party and the AllfSchool Program also stand out as high' lights of the junior year. lvladame Foosinella with her Winsome voice and Herr Blewitt, with his charming manners, did much to add color and spice to our school program. Who can forget the excellent debating style displayed by Heyns and Buter? The social climax of the year was the traditional juniorfSenior banquet - our last chance to fete the Senior class. Thanks to the hard work of the committees, the party attained the acme of success. With this event the Junior year closed for us, leaving many pleasant memories and hopes to be fulfilled in the Senior year.

The occasion was the AllfSchool Program. After a pleasing organ prelude by Robert Weener, Dr. Henry Stob gave the invocation. The program proceeded in full swing: Claire Cttenhof as Madame Foosinello and Nick Vogelsung as Herr Blewitt, with Ilah Vanden Beldt as Madame Zenabie at the piano, brought us back to the days long since passed when Madames, with bags over their arms, used to walk proudly into the Herr's studio for a singing lesson. This one proved to be exceptionally successful with her dramatic trills and his rich expression. When he escorted her off the stage - he, with black silk top hat and tails, and she, with high shoes and long skirt, the building resounded with laughter and applause.

A mellow trombone solo by Paul Holtrop, and Cllie Buus' energetic band proved the ability of our students at the instruments. A debate entitled, Resolved: That FDR. should run for a 3rd term was very humorously negated by C. Buter and upheld by R. Heyns. This formed a unique part of the program. The event was brought to a dramatic close by a powerful rendition of Luther Mueller's A Mighty Fortress, sung by the A Cappella Choir. Its sacredness and beauty stirred the audience to absolute silence. Dr. R. Drost closed with prayer.

The immediate interest taken in the publication is clearly shown by the number of open pages seen scattered throughout the halls on Chimes day. Even in the classroom, eyes are busily scanning its pages until the Hrst word of the professor's lecture. And, occasionally, even after the first word, for the students seem reluctant to put it away. It is the purpose of Calvin's magazine to present a crossfsection of student life and of student abilities-and most of all, to radiate the Calvin spark in the general tone of its writing. Paging through an issue, we come first to a few thoughtfprovoking editorials from the pens of the editor and his associate. Then come theproducts of the literaryfbent, taking the form of essay, story, description, sketch, and at times just rambling. Contributions of poetry from our few but bards are interspersed among the pages. The life histories of the latest our faculty have shown us how valuable these additions are. Student always welcomed and occasionally submitted. News from Calvin's from her star boarders, the Dormitorians, from her clubs, her forensic and her neighboring colleges completes the magazine. And that every phase Calvin has. L paper affords an excellent opportunity for young writers to feel them' out, to see themselves in print, and to improve their styles. Most of them probably not become recognized authors or poets in this prolific land of oursg it has been an inestimable experience for them to express themselves, and cerf the readers have enjoyed it. But who knows, perhaps a select few will break through the lines to receive a place in the hall of fame. It has happened in past Chimes history. The magazine has served its purf pose well. Although Calvin life will live on in our memories, yet in later years We will be able to recall it more vividly if We can refer to a Chimes written when we went to school. Murvel Bratt.

Por four years she has energetically participated in all of the club's endeavors, and her absence next year will surely be felt. Stanley Albers, with his ability for selecting character types and his insistence on perfection, again directed the club. The cooperative sponsors of the club, Dean Rooks and Prof. Swets, entertained the club members after each of the plays and remained faithful to the club throughout the year. A gracious gesture of the club this year was the presentation of a large part of its proceeds to the Girls' League, the 1939 Prism, and the 1940 Prism for the furthering of their respective needs. The club also awarded pins to the members at their closing dinner. Officers: Ruth Jurgens, president, Angelyn Feenstra, treasurer, Alvin Elders' veld, secretaryg Claire Hoffman, general adjunct.

The play was very modern, and was based on a modern problem-the retention of religion in a dictatorship nation. Anton Veerkind fplayed by jacob Hasperj and his granddaughter Leda fplayed by Lois Tinholtl were two of the few left who maintained the supremacy of God over the state. Leda, a girl with a brilliant mind, had daringly stated her views at the University and had been sent home by friends who wished to protect her. But even at home she continued to spread the gospel of Truth, until she is discovered by Gurgani Uohn Hekmanj, the cruel dictator. Unafraid, she and her father face the state tribunal, 'uphold the sovereignty of God, and are sentenced to die. The last scene depicts the execution - with the beautiful strains of I Know That My Redeemer Liveth in the background, they mount the scaffold and walk to their death. Their cause, however, was not a lost one, for their faith has influenced many whom they contacted. The event of their death is also the event of many converts to the old faith. The play left much room for dramatic interpretation and the roles were aptly handled. Jacob Haspcr gave a very superb performance in the leading role and was well supported by Lois Tinholt, who convincingly enacted the part of Leda, the girl who had seen the Light. Very well cast as the dictator, was John Hekman, whose proud stride and demanding voice brought pictures of Lenin and Hitler to our mind. To the minor role of Hans Skaedia, Leda's lover, Bob Bousma gave a very realistic interpretation. The entire cast seemed uplifted by the moral fervor of the play and they succeeded well in instilling this attitude into the hearts of the audience. Drnlh buf not drfnal. Dl'l'.H'f7Igl'00llll7'!l7I.Yf0flI1llff0Tl if 01 JJ 0 Professor Seymour Swets belongs the arduous task of developing the oratorical talents of his proteges into effective and eloquent weapons of communication. To Prof. Swets, accordingly, belongs also the unfeigned and profound gratitude of the student body in general and of the orators in particular, for the contributions which he has rendered to' ward that end during the past year. These conf tributions-advice as to content and delivery of speeches - have been an important factor in the success which our representatives have achieved. Equally significant is his congenial and sympaf Prof- Swefs thetic support of the contestants before the cruf cial moment of battle. Burdened as he is, by an almost overwhelming obligation to the department of music-which he also heads - we offer him measureless appreciation for his jovial and considerate leadership. Commemorating the return of the nations to international peace in 1918, the Peace Qratorical contest afforded Professor Swets an opportunity to lead his apprentices into their first skirmish. Imbued with the strong desire to contribute to the preservation of world peace, each contestant presented a program which seemed most cogent and practical to him. All of them evinced a thoroughness of preparation and a clarity of analysis which brought credit to their diligence and acumen. The prizefwinning oration was delivered by John Wielhower and was entitled Public Enemy Number Une. With dramatic ardor, Wielhower indicted the munitions maker with his unscrupulous ethics as the most nefarious enemy of mankind. We Broodman contest for boys presented the second opportunity for oratorical aspirants to display their eloquence. Five young men arranged themselves in battlef array, intrepid, and eager to hurl their exhortations and entreaties before the public attention. The victory was announced to have been awarded to Benjamin Vander Kooi, a sophomore. Vander Kooi's oration, entitled Let Us Join Hands, convincingly exposed the plight of the American farmer and fervently argued the necessity of cooperation to effect his release from this plight. As winner of the Broodman Contest, it was Ben's privilege to represent Calvin College in the State if 32 H Contest at lvlount Pleasant. At this contest, Ben surpassed even his own expectaf tions by winning second place, in competition with representatives from eleven other schools. The third oratorical contest to engage the interest of the student body was the Heyboer contest for girls. In general, the contest proved to be of an unusually excellent quality both in oratorical dynamics and in intellectual depth. The vicf tory was awarded to Winif1'ed Molemaker, a junior, whose oration What Shall It ProHt? , decried the monopoly which materialism has gained over the American culture and its reflection in American education. If education is to educate, it must shift its emphasis from the popular to the important. Only ther can America hope to preserve what the nations abroad seem bent on destroying. On November 17, the extemporaneous speaking contest was held in the Semi' nary chapel. A small group of contestants assembled to wage battle for regnancy among the impromptu speakers. After having selected their topics for discussion, the contestants retired to various alcoves to build and organize their cases. Return' ing to the arena an hour later, they poured out their hearts in moving' appeals and informative lectures on their various subjects. The judges awarded first place to Bob Heyns in the boys' contest and to Roberta Tromp in the girls' contest for their respective expositions on Civil Service and the Cost of Government and ulntellectualism vs. Utilitarianismf' The winners participated in the state contest in Kalamazoo a week later, but competition there proved a little too keen. The latest forensic activity of the year, the Interpretative Reading Contests in prose and poetry, remains to be held in the latter part of April. With it, another successful forensic year will have been terminated on our campus. 1 4 l J Wielhnuwer Vander Koui Molemaker Heyns Cf 63 N T IS with mixed feelings of reverence and elation that the Calvin Cratorio Society presents the Messiah, Handel's immortal work based upon the life, sufferf ing, death, and resurrection of the Christ. Audience and performers alike are swept upward by the mighty passion of the music, and the truths revealed therein. A new inspiration permeates the soul, and it sings in awe of the glory of God. On the evening of December 5, 1939, the chorus of four hundred and twentyf five voices, assisted by the Grand Rapids Symphony Crchestra, and Mrs. Alyce Lantinga at the orgatron, once more attained to the triumphal strains of the Earl: prr.f1'ntu!ia11 I'flJ0,H'J'flI'1'l1lI'I' ap,brr'1'ia!iuu Hallelujah Chorus. The Messiah has grown to be an indispensable part of the Christmas season for our audience. Familiarity with the music serves only to reveal more of the magnificence and grandeur of the composition. Our sincerest gratitude goes to our director, Prof. Seymour Swets, who each year takes it upon himself anew to mould the huge chorus and orchestra, together with the soloists, into a unit that has but one purpose - the interpretation of the score into stirring strains, intelligible to all. In this colossal task, Prof. Swets acquits himself with honor. The soloists this year were Thelma von Eisenhaur, sopranog Lillian Knowles, contraltog Joseph Victor Laderoute, tenor, and Michiel Marsman, bass. The offif cers taken from the large student division of the chorus were: Mr. Williani Heynen, president, Mr. John Visser, vicefpresidentg Miss Jeanette Van't Hof, secretary, and Mr. Paul Holtrop, librarian. H 04 ll HE band has had an unusually successful year. In 1935, when it organized, there were but fifteen hearty exhalers, now we boast rumor circulates, that the increase was due to a quartet of unusually tudinous lassies which decorated the bandstand. Could be! However, QSheila Drost, Geraldine Qhlmann, Charlotte Langeland, and Frances were not only a source of inspiration to the band and its but duced some right mellow notes to add zest to the marches.

However, since more interest was shown in the efforts to improve the band, it was decided to concentrate upon the orchestra's development next year. The group shown, which practiced under the leadership of Oliver Buus. makes a fine nucleus for our coming orchestra - an organization essential to any college. Our ultimate aim is a Calvin Qrchestra proficient enough to supplement the choruses and musi' cians of the school. This would solve a big problem for Prof .

' 4 HTHLETIIIS Pirlg-pang llzlskvlbzlll Trafk Baseball Corzfll CC 68 H I N spite of an unusually heavy schedule this year's varsity turned in an excellent performance on the hardwood, winning fourteen of their eighteen encounters. At the outset of the season Coach Muyskens was confronted with the problem of selecting the right player combinations in his starting lineup, as witnessed by the frequent substitutions throughout the first part of the season. Heavy drill sessions soon developed a winning combination, however, which found Bult, Van Faasen, Bratt, Hendrickson, and Buter in there at the start of each game. Calvin this season managed to schedule two games with the strong Western State five from Kalamazoo, splitting honors with the Broncos by identical scores, 4268. Western ranks with the best in the state, and our boys deserve plenty of credit for their stellar performance against the Broncos. Calvin played superior ball in the first tangle played at Kalamazoo, giving the Kalamazoo fans a lasting impression of Calvin's ability, but succumbed before a tidal wave of Bronco fancy shooting in the return encounter. The Knights traveled to Albion during the first week of December to meet the Albion cagers, where they took it on the chin for their nrst defeat of the season. Albion outclassed our boys in every department of play, although the final score left them with only a fivefpoint lead. Between December 8 and 12 the local boys took three games in a row, whipping Indiana Tech by a comfortable margin, and downing Junior College and Kalamazoo in much the same manner. During the Christmas holidays the Knights tangled with Central College of Pella, Iowa. This was the first basketball encounter in the history of the two schools, and the Knights gave the lowans a good taste of how it's done in Michigan, by decisively whipping the invaders. The championship De Sales quintet came to town after the Christmas holidays and gave Grand Rapids fans an opportunity to see some first class ballfhandling. The Knights ran up a comfortable lead in the early part of the fray and maintained ,-111 1ll'lll5 Stop tha! if you mu! it against repeated drives on the part of the Toledoans. By uncanny strategy Coach lvluyskens succeeded in substituting at the opportune time with the result that the Knights were always fresh and rarin' to go. The Knight cagers took to the road on january 18, meet' ing St. Maryls of Crchard Lake and Lawrence Tech of Detroit on their home floors. St. Mary's proved to be a pushover, in spite of the fact that Coach Mriyskens used his second team throughout the whole game, Broene, Post' humus, and Bult rolled up sixty points with little difficulty.

Subsequent events eliminated Lawrence Tech from the running, which left only De Sales obstructing the trail to the chamf pionship. Un March 5, the Knights hit the road for the last time.

About thirty Calvinites made the trip to Toledo with the varsity for the purpose of lend' ing vocal support. Coach Sachstater's lads were too much for the Knights, however, and in one of the best played contests of the year the Sailors clinched their hold on the championship by defeating the Knights, 5'7f44. Calvin placed second in the conference standing by eking out a 5261 victory over Assumption in its last game of the year. Although our Knights didn't win the MQCC championship this year they dis' played a brand of ball which made them a perpetual menace to all their opponents. With all but three lettermen, lvlurv Bratt, Bud Hendrickson, and Gord Buter, returning, we can look forward to next year with plenty of enthusiasm! Perhaps they can do still better, and bring the MQCC championship trophy back to Calvin's halls. With the advent of Coach Muyskens, Calvin has hit a new high in basketball prestige, and has excelled in the other sports in which it participated. Again this if 71 H Coach did a swell job of whipping the fellows l Ziiitoffshlape and keeping them there. Although no was forthcoming we did establish as fine record as in previous years. Everyone realizes i the value of a coach, for it is up to him to synthesize the lplayers into a unit, to inject a spirit of friendly competitionlvand ambition into the boys, and to encduragelthem in times of defeat. These qualities are all found in our Coach, plus a fine personality which has made him wellfliked by the student body, and especially by those men whom he has coached so Murv ami .J successfully during his stay here at Calvin. .'I'he7al2me of guarding was personified in Murv Bratt. Playing his last year, Murv did everything that was expected of a guard - and much more. He received the most honorable position on the M.O.C.C. all-star team, that of captain. Would that we had a Murv Bratt on our team every year! Playing alongside Bratt, and playing a stellar game, was Bud Hendrickson. These two men proved to be the downfall of many a team, preventing them from scoring on dog shots . Moreover, Bud was a threat with his beautiful midcourt shots. For his work he received honorable mention on the M.Q.C.C. Honor Squad. l Rest and .rlrfllfgy if 72 H - Y , Gord Ruler Bud Hendrickson Chuck Bult Fuzz Van Fassen again led the varsity in scoring, racking up a total of 173 points for an average of almost 8 points a game. Lithe, supple, and tricky, Fuzz proved to be a puzzle for many a player. It seemed as though wherever Fuzz was, the ball was too. His splendid playing rated Fuzz a position on the second team of the M.G.C.C. Honor Squad. A1 Bielema, bothered by a severe skin disease in the early part of the season, proved his worth in more than one game, particularly, in the Western game in vvbich he sparked the team in the second half so that Calvin almost overcame an insurmountable lead. He, along with Fuzz, was named on the M.O.C.C. Honor Squad second team. Lanky Gord Buter who seems to fairly glide over the floor, proved tofube an inspiration to the other members.

Some few of the aspirants are finished products, while others find added experience a requisite. For the former a varsity berth is openedg for the latter a place on the Reserve roster. Ably piloted by Don Bouma, the Knightlets have forded a stream of formidable 53:-l'dgitign'DaUIjpnr:i:cx1r:lder Til, De Haan, West- Knecling: Scholtens, Rycenga, Vecnema, Mcetcr, Muyskens opposition in a highly commendable manner. The intercollegiate record of the team has remained unmarred. lt remained for a few classy independent teams to administer defeat. The high spots of the season were two victories over the highly touted Kalamazoo College yearlings, and two defeats by local independent teams: one a 3465 thriller with the Miclwest Autos and the other a heartbreaking overtime loss to the American Seating live. A word of praise should go out to each of the Knightlets for their efforts in behalf of a successful campaign. Steen, Venema, De Haan, Scholtens, De Korne, Westveer, Vander Til, Leys, Vandenberg, Meeter, Muyskens and Rycenga have composed the Knightlet squad. With such material capable of promotion, we augur a strong varsity squad next season. H 75 H THE girls didn't enter the League this year-simply because there was no league! This didn't stop the peppy Calvin girls, however, and they proceeded to train vigorously for a schedule of games with outfofftown teams. The trips to Fremont, St. Joe, and Kalamazoo proved exciting, especially the spread at Rev. 's house after the Muskegon game. Highlight of the season was the tilt with the old Dutch Kraft team which has been Calvin's most formidable enemy the last several years. The game played between the inftowners and uoutfoff towners at Intramural Night was also a scrappy affair. The offensive of dashing Milly Muyskens, tricky Nancy Eldrenkamp, and spec' tacular Kathryn Kooiman was ably assisted by Shirley Bosch, while the swift and sure defense of Angelyn Feenstra, Maxine Ryskamp, and Gertrude Groot was relieved by Harriet Smit and Angelyn Euwema. Harriet Bel filled in as uallfaroundf man . Eldrenkamp and Muyskens, being veterans of four years' play, will see no more action at Calvin, but with such promising material as Clarice Vander Kieft, Connie Post, Margaret Knoor, Wilma Van Genderen, Edith Dekker, and Lois Brouwer, who constituted the reserves, we may look forward to another good season next year.

Dr. Loudon came to visit Grand Rapids and Calvin College because of the large number of people of Dutch extraction in this region. While at the college he and Mrs. Loudon were formally received by the faculty and their wives in the Seminary chapel. After being welcomed by the President of the College and the President of the Seminary, Dr. Loudon was introduced by M-r.

Broenc, Dr. Reels, Dr. Loudon, Mrs. Loudon, Mrs. Broene, Mr. Steketee, Dean Rocks this city. Dr. Loudon replied in a brief speech. After the reception the Loudons were entertained at tea in the Cirls' Room. His excellency and Mrs. Loudon showed great interest in our college and our form of education. The two expressed their desire to return to this district in the spring to see the Holland Tulip Festival and the Netherlands Exhibit. This would have given the students an opportunity to hear from this foreign representative. However, because of the Nazi invasion of his country, Dr. Loudon will not be able to complete his plans since his services are greatly needed by his country in times such as these. lf 79 H T IMID Freshmen, sapient Sophomores, jocular I-uniors, and serene Seniors, in addif tion to a modest sprinkling of seminary students of all ages and descriptions, conf stitute the core of the Dormitory.

A short study of its past history brings to light the fact that during past years this room served as kitchen, storeroom, coffee shop, and general handy space for pracf tically anything and everything . . . and now it is the Boys' Room. Supplies have been removed, along with the coffee grains, sugar bowls, and flower vases, and in their place several serviceable chairs fseating capacity twentyffivej have been installed. These along with one large, sturdy oak table constitute the furnishings of the Boys' Room. Here the boys get together in their leisure moments to indulge in a bit of gossip and study. It has not always been so, however. Until last year the fellows had the privilege of congregating in what today is the Book Store. Witli the rapid growth in the sale of books and supplies it became necessary to expand the domain of the Book Store to its present quarters. With the demise of the MC11,S Union, one time stronghold of male opinion, the last remnant of opposition has disappeared and we ind our boys the victims of uncontrollable circumstances. The new room has its merits, however, in that it is sufficiently secluded from the main channels of life, and, for those who seek relaxation and quiet, it has all the qualifications of a library reading room. Although it lacks beauty and comfort, and although its appearance is none too inviting, it is still the haven and the refuge of the menfolk, and it too will contribute its bit to the success of their careers.

The chorus and the supporting orchestra, consisting of thirty members of the local symphony orchestra, were under the competent baton and inspiring leadership of our own Prof. Seymour Swets. This combination, together with the superb work of the soloists, resulted in a performance which the Grand Rapids music lovers will not soon forget. The soloists gave an excellent account of themselves in the title roles. As Elijah, Raymond Koch once more established himself as a favorite with the audience by his masterful performance. Miss Ahleen Dekker, Galvin's own draf matic soprano, interpreted the part of The Widow beautifully, and james De Jonge, local tenor, handled the role of Obadiah brilliantly. Another local contralto, Hilda Van Dam Keuning, illustriously carried the part of An Angel. The Angels Trio of Mrs. Jacob Buiten, Mrs. Henry Schuitema, and Mrs. Ben Barendse, and the youth, sung by Robert De Vos, also helped to make the concert a success. We can justly be proud of our local soloists. In order that Grand Rapids oratorio lovers may become better acquainted with several of the great masterpieces, plans for replacing the Elijah with one of the other great works have been considered. However another spring rendition of the Elijah will certainly be met by a greater and more appreciative audience.

HE a cappella choir is one of the busiest and best known organizations on the campus. It is composed of some 40 members, chosen on the basis of vocal requirements and allfaround musical ability. Under the inspiring leadership of Professor Svvets, the choir each year works out a balanced and varied repertoire of sacred numbers, including chorals, spirituals, and religious lyrics. The program for the year includes the practice sessions twice Weekly, various appearances at school functions and in local churches, and the annual spring tour. Oh, yes, the tour. How could I forget it so long? The tour is the most important thing about the choir, from the standpoint of the denomination at large as well as of the choir members themselves. For the choir has a Function, with a capital Fw, namely to bring Calvin College to the various outlying churches. This gives the choir a distinctive place among the campus organizations, and gives it as well a responsibility to live up to and an ideal to strive for. The itinerary for the tour this year included concerts in northern Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin, as Well as an appearance in the Chicago Christian High School and a performance over the air from Sheboygan. The usual spirit of clean, wholesome fun prevailed again this year, and again, as before, a major factor it 38 ii contributing to the success of the tour was the warm hearty welcome afforded by our genial people in the churches visited. A word of appreciation is due to every member of the choir for the splendid spirit of cooperation shown. The tour was there for them to make of it what they wished. And that they made a wonderful vacation of it is to their own credit, for their spirit of com' radeship and consideration spelled the differ' ence between a good and a bad time for the choir as a whole. A special measure of appreciation is due to a few people in particular: first to Bill Heynen, president, and John Visser, business manager, who were thoroughly efficient and selffsacrificing, though their jobs were often far from easyg then to Professor Swets, whose inspiring leadership drew forth the best that was in usg also to Mrs. Pels, who accom' plished the difficult feat of being both efficient and well liked as a chaperone, and finally to our driver, whose task was far from the least important. The choir expresses its thanks to all who have made possible another successful year. And it expresses also the hope, that the Calvin College it has brought to the people may have been one which they can continue to love and support as they have done so wonderfully in the past.

The forensics staff, elected by the student body, with Prof. S. Swets as sponsor, performs the administrative duties connected with debating and the various speech contests. This year Henry Bosch served as President of the staff, cooperating with Gordon Buter as Men's Debate Manager, Winifred Molemaker as Women's Debate Manager, Rozena Portenga as Oratory Manager, and Donna Tinholt as SecretaryfTreasurer. The staff sets the dates and ' P ' secures the judges for the various contests held T? ' throughout the year: the Peace Oratorical Con' test, the Broodman and Heyboer Oratorical Conf tests, the Extempore Speaking Contest, and the Interpretive Reading Events. ln the spring, the speechfsenate supervises the awarding of forensic keys. Neophytes receive silver keys, for the second forensic feat, gold keys are awarded. For each additional form of speech activity, a ruby, two pearls, and as a crowning glory, a diamond, are successively added to the gold key. This plan of award is highly apprecif ated by the students, and provides a stimulus to forensic advance. Harold Dekker QC 90 H HE masculine constituency of our college was well represented in the ranks this year, providing eight stalwart teams to uphold the good name of Mater in collegiate combat.

Other graduating students who have contributed toward debating success at Calvin are Buus, I-Ioltrop, Wevers, Licatesi, Bruggink and Brondsema. Outstanding work was rendered among the younger members by Reitsema and Broene, who triumf phantly carried home with them two victories from the state tournament. Vander Kooi's work also merits special commendation. Among those neophytes who disf played great promise were Paauw, Ribbens and De Vries, who received valuable experience from their efforts this year. The most notable accomplishments of the year was the feat performed at East Lansing in February. In competition with eleven other Michigan colleges, the Calf vin men returned with the second place award, an achievement over which we all felt elated.

The two affirmative teams consisted of Donna Tinholt and Betty Groeneveld, Ruth Warner and Rozena Poortenga. Donna with her charming persuasiveness, and Betty with her convincing definiteness, have represented Calvin well for four years and deserve hearty congratulations on their excellent work. Ruth and Rose also made a line team. For one so small, Ruthie surely does go to town with precision and assurf ance, and Rozena with her good humor and vitality represented Calvin in a manner of which it can be proud. T The antifisolationists also constituted two teams. We welcomed two new' comers to the ranks this year: Marian Ribbens and Wilma Heyns. Marian pref :iick Row: Grocneveld, Hcyns, Poortengu, arner Front Row: Tinholt, Hoogsteen, Mulemaker pared the hearts of her audience with sincere dramatic appeal, and Wilma followed uppwith the facts. The girls deserve compliments upon the success of their first li at pt. Bernicejean Hoogsteen and Winifred Molemaker proved to be an excellent , o i ination. Bernicejean came to Calvin with several years of experience in high . Q ol debating behind her, and her smooth manner on the rostrum was striking lm evidence of it. Scholarly approach and effective delivery again characterized Winif fred's work on the debate squad. T1 6 girls teams at last achieved a longfcherished ambition-an overfnight debate rip The annual state tournament held in February was made the occasion for :l'53ll555:'::t s unusual experiences. The tourney being scheduled for Saturday at Ypsilanti, the .A sies hit on the idea of leaving Friday afternoon and spending the night in i ' Ann ' 1' rbor. A tour was made of the university campus and new fuel was heaped upon he fire of feminine ambitions. In the state competition the girls won four of their debates and lost the other four. U 92 DJ ESIDES the regular state tournaments for men and women debaters, many other opportunities for displaying argumentative prowess presented themselves. In December both squads traveled to East Lansing to participate in the second annual round table discussion and, as last year, it again proved valuable. Groups of students under the leadership of a chairman are given an opportunity to express their own views and to garner new ideas, without dividing into two competitive sides. From time to time, the men's teams engaged in practice debates with other colleges including Hope, Grand Rapids Junior, Muskegon Junior, and Alma. In January the girls entertained the Western State lassies at a twofround debate tourney. The visiting teams came in such goodly numbers that several men's teams were called upon to provide the necessary competition. At a decision tour' nament sponsored by Michigan State College the girls received additional pracf tice. For the first time Calvin sent delegates to Manchester, Indiana, which entertained debaters from several states. Donna Tinholt, Betty Groeneveld, John Wevers, John Brondsema and Paul Holtrop together with Coach Dekker made the twofday trip. Qur debaters this year received the opportunity to debate before various church and school organizations. This was appreciated, for audiences, you know, provide far more incentive and inspiration to speech aspirants than do empty seats. On one occasion a gala social event was combined with a debate meeting. Two teams debated for the group and after the debate, group discussions were conducted in several rooms of the Seminary building. Then followed a trip to the kitchen, and the cupboard was not bare! A debate tour of the East during spring vacation was an innovation this year. Two teams debated before audi' ences of West Sayville, Passaic, Paterf ,fm son and Rochester. We hope a similar expedition can be made next year. .,-H' Once again we have consummated a year of forensic activities, and as we ponder our benefits, we express conif dence that it was not without value.

The Pierian Spring was the fountain of the lvluses and it is fabled to have given inspiration to all who drank from it. Very seldom can a person inspire himself -he needs the ideas of others for stimulation. And so we meet in a group, mainly to appreciate the contributions of great men in the world of literature, and also to express ourselves on various subjects. In this way the club becomes the modernized version of the Muses' Fountain. And we really follow Popes advice to Drink deep, or taste not of the Pierian Spring. Qur deep drink constituted a number of activities. We reviewed books, we studied the different types of literature, we established a Pierian shelf in the we heard a few of our members' original poems, we listened to Pickwick in play form, over our intramural broadcasting system, we even had a party with presents and refreshments. big event was the night we were honored with the presence of two who have already distinguished themselves in the literary world: David Meindert De Jong. The evening's discussion was informal, and we a host of questions which they willingly answered -Meinclert even that he enjoyed the catechism lesson.

This group has an enrollment of seventy students who are preparing themselves for the various fields of human activity, and who will, besides fulfilling their daily vocation according to the true principles of Calvinism, share in the great Missionary Cause of Christ. Throughout the school year this society has enjoyed a true Christian fellowship by hearing the words of missionaries who have served either in the domestic or foreign fields. The club also engaged in student meetings wherein the various phases of personal evangelization and mission problems were discussed. Some of the members had the opportunities to give of their time and talents in active mission work in and about Grand Rapids. All in all, the group has aimed at creating a broader interest and a deeper understanding of the challenge and the significance which lies within the scope of this Kingdom Work. We pray that our zeal for this vital Christian cause may never weaken, but, as we go through life, may we ever remain co' workers with those who bear the Wo1'd to a sinfdarkened world. The club was ably led by a staff that enjoyed the cofoperation of the members and the faculty sponsor. The following officers have served in the past year: Vincent C. Licatesi, President, Clarence Boomsma, Field Secretary, Peter Dekker, Vice Presidentg Irene Schurin ga, SecretaryfTreasurerg Wiiiifred Andriesen, Officerfatflargeg and Henry Petersen, Seminary Representative.

Its success was made possible through fine leadership and the willing cooperation of all Calvin students. Before school opened in September, the wellfknown L'BigfSister movement was well under way. The new girls, timid and unaccustomed to their new surroundings, were welcomed and aided in registration. Left to right: Claire Hoffman, Donna Tinholt, Mrs. Pels, Marian Ribbens For three hours one bright September day, pleasant, graceful pourers were busy at the delightful tea at which the league honored its new sponsor, Mrs. Pels. Then, one autumn night the girls were sent out on a scavenger hunt, returning to the dorm where the Freshmen were given a hearty welcome and served refreshments. The biggest task that the league undertook this year was the redecoration of the girls' room. Divided into five groups, the girls enthusiastically began their drive for money.

Courses offered in the college have composed the main part of their education but this would not have been complete without the inspiring, bifweekly meetings of the PrefSem Club. These meetings were held, and very appropriately, in the inviting Seminary chapel. Here an average of more than thirty prefseminary stu' dents met about fifteen times during the year, and invariably left with the sense of a closer union with those others having a common purpose of life in view. Even when tests or examinations loomed dangerously near, no regrets were felt for having attended the meeting. Various types of programs were held which included debates, outside speakers, roundftable discussions, and speeches by the members. Undoubtedly many present' day ministers would have gladly undergone the torture of hiding beneath benches to hear the discussions on such problems as the proposed fourfyear seminary course, methods of appointing delegates to Synod, the Church's relation to worldly Lcfl. lo right: Curl T ocse l, Engbcrt Uhels, Oliver Bulls, Ralph Wildscllut, John Olfhilf amusements, the advisability of the Reformed Bible Institute, appointment of ministers, and other questions.

HERE is a new fascination to amateur photography - the usefulness of the camera has increased a hundredfold. No need now to wait for sunny days or to miss a single picture because of dull skies. By gradual improvement, refinement, and simpliication in camera design, photography today is swiftly moving forward. Cameras are more compact, lenses are faster. Always striving to keep up with the times, the amateur photographer has a busy time. Developing, printing, and enlarging have been made the center of study by this year's camera club. The Calvin Camera Club can proudly boast that it has developed beyond its embryological stage insofar as it has acquired a dark room and an enlarger.

C C 93 J J HE Cirls' Christian Fellowship Club, composed of some seventyffive members, eagerly look forward to their Tuesday evening meetings, which always promote spirtual growth and wholesome Christian fellowship among those who attend. Cur discussions this year, led every other week by one of the members, centered around such virtues as humility, patience, watchfulncss, steadfastness and zeal, as exemplilied in the life of Christ. Once each month our sponsor, Mr's. G. Pels, presented an appropriate talk on some timely subject. We were also entertained by several visiting speakers, among whom were: Misss Ivlarian Schoolland, Miss Nellie Lam, and Misra lvlarie Gezon. In addition to spiritual growth the club also has its social functions. In the fall ol' the year it has its VJelcome Party for all women students and especially for those new on the campus. The annual Thanksgiving potluck supper was again enjoyed with the Fellowship alumni in the dimly candleflit assembly room of the Seminary building. At Christmas the group went gaily caroling among the aged and sickg and another social evening was enjoyed in the spring.

H 99 D7 LTHOUGH the League is organized primarily to defend the gospel from the higher criticism rampant on so many campuses, and to propagate that gospel among college and university students, it has another useful function at Calvin. It strives to enrich and encourage personal devotional life among students. For this purpose, various speakers bring worthwhile contributions to our meetings. This year we had the privilege of hearing Rev. J. Weiclenz1a1', Dr. Clarence Bouma, and Dr. Henry Stob. Another function which our local chapter has in common with the national organization, is the stimulation of Christian fellowship among students. Cne of the most important phases of our Work at Calvin is the encouragement of groups of Christian students on other campuses. This field Work involves personal contact with other chapters of the League. Meetings are conducted with groups of Chris' tian students in various Michigan colleges. During the month of February, Carolyn De Wit, Francis Van Laar, and Engbert Ubels represented the Calvin chapter at the national convention at Philadelphia. Inspirational addresses by prominent theologians from the East, and roundftable discussions on leading issues of the day were featured at the meeting.

The members are largely drawn from the ranks of the students who are interested in the more practical aspects - the technological side of modern life. The group has made excursions to factories, machine shops, foundries, steel mills, and to automobile plants chiefly for the purpose of acquainting the members with the field of engineering, and related subjects.

Intensely interesting discussions and debates concerning the course of the war and American policies made every meeting a battleground of expression in ideas. Representatives of the Club attended the lecture course sponsored by the League of Wcmnieii Voters. Reviews of the lectures were given at subsequent meetings of the club, thus the club was given access to the views of such notables as Vincent Sheean and Dr. Rippey. During the second semester Dr. Hoekstra, accompanied by several of the Club members, attended the Annual Conference of International Relations Clubs. This twofday conference was held in April at DePauw University, Greencastle, Indiana, Reports indicated that a most enjoyable and instructive conference had been attended. Again, as in previous years, several fine books have been donated to the library. These are received by the club from the Carnegie Foundation for International Peace. From this same source the members of the club receive Fortnightly Sum' maries of International News. These have proved very beneficial to a proper inter' pretation of International ailairs.

It is a unique organization in that its meetings are confined chiefly to the discussion of philosophical problems, not only as presented by the early Greek thinkers, but also as they appear in the present era of diversified thought. With Clarence Boomsma at the helm, the club has steered its way through a maze of philosophical barriers which loomed large on the horizon at the outset of the season. The club holds its meetings bifweekly in the thoughtfstimulating environf ment of the Dormitory, featuring at each session a report on some aspect of Plato's Dialogues by one of the members. Dr. Henry Stob, our new professor of philosf ophy, has taken over the sponsorship of the group, and has from time to time made valuable contributions to the discussions from his wealth of knowledge on the subject. Although the constituency is small in number, owing to the nature of the club, a lively interest is maintained by the members. Theologians, economists, pre' seminarians, preflaw students, and prefmeds air their views, and engage in lively diatribe, ceasing only when repeated calls from the kitchen force summon them to their afterfmeeting refreshments. When the smoke clouds have rolled away after an evening of argumentation and deliberation the boys feel that they have greatly benefited from the exchange of ideas. The Plato club will live on as one of Calvins outstanding activity groups. if 104 JD HE Knicker club again enjoyed an active program this year. We began the season by introducing our new members to Knicker customs through a housefparty at Spring Lake. Imagine twentyffive girls staying in one cottage-twentyfiive girls out for a good time - and we had it! The new members drank the cup of initiation with gusto and wore their curious blue uniforms with a feeling of pride. Much appreciation goes to Mrs. Pels and Miss Schoolland, our chaperons, who bore the noise heroically. Coach lvluyskens lent the only masculine touch by joining us for the Hnal wienie roast. The club was organized particularly for sport activities, and they were not neglected. Rowing, bowling, snowfballing, badminton games in the gym, and hikes, followed by 6 o'clock suppers, kept us physically fit. Socially the club was also active. At the beginning of the year Coach and M1's. Muyskens graciously invited us to their home where we feasted on hot chili. It took those tempting sunrise breakfasts to get us up early and black colfee to keep us up. According to custom, on February 29, we took advantage of the date, and entertained some male favorites at a formal leapfyear party in the Country House. A hearty dinner was served in true Knicker style. Afterward we amused our guests with games and moving pictures. The club is greatly indebted to the wise guidance given it by its new sponsor Mrs, Pels, and the able leadership of its president, Jeanette Van't Hof.

RACK aspirants flocked to the gym immediately following the close of the basketball season, to begin the strenuous conditioning process essential to track success. More than fifty men reported when Coach Muyslrens issued his first call of the season, and among them were a good representation from the Freshman class. At the annual intrafmural meet held the early part of May in which the various stars of each class were pitted against each other in an attempt to bring home chamf pionship honors for their respective classes, the Iuniors came through with victories in many of the events to cinch the contest for their class. Coach Al Muyskens appointed Tony Vander Heide, veteran of four years' comf petition, to manage the track activities this year and under Tony's tutelage the men have developed into a smoothly functioning unit. Tony's years of experience and his rare ability on the Cinder path have been a major factor in the past triumphs of Knight teams. This season, however, the locals entered competition under a definite handicap when it was reported that Tony Vander Heide would be out for the remainder of the year with a broken bone in his foot, received during baseball practice. Junior College whipped us decisively in the opening meet of the season at Houseman Held, but this did not dishearten our boys. They continued to drill regularly for the MOCC meet, which will be held in the latter part of May at Lawrence Tech. Calvin is favored to take the league title for the third successive year. Trackmen representing Calvin this year include Tony Vander Heide, Tom Thomasma, Iohn Posthumus, Cllie Buus, Louis Coudzwaard, Chuck Bult, Bernard Bouma, Paul Holtrop, Earl Hansma, Phil Kroon, Louis Rycenga, Elmer Van Beek, and Alvin Eldersveld. 4110637 BASEBALL, the national game, has staged a great comeback at Calvin. For some years it had been discontinued because of lack of interest and finances. For the last two years the boys have gotten together to play informally. This year more extensive plans were made and the boys received some money from the intramural budget since no funds had been appropriated for baseball in the regular athletic budget. Next year baseball will be an official spring sport at Calvin. Coach lvluyskens was not able to coach the team himself so he asked Don H. Bouma, reserve basketball coach and a veteran baseball player, to coach the team. He had done a marvelous piece of work with the reserve basketball team and also whipped into shape a wellfbalanced baseball team. Here, too, the team suffered because of injuries but the players kept on hustling in every game. Ralph Veenema, one of the best outhelders on the team, was injured before the schedule started and was out the entire season. Those who played for Calvin were Andy DeKraker, Paul Westveer, Bernard DeBoe, Walter' Ackerman, Tim Roetman, Bert Smith, Tony Brower, Barney Steen, Chuck Bult, Fuzz VanFaasen, Murv Bratt, Gene Broene, Lad Broene, John Berghuis, John Brower, john Dekker, WiHiam Bajema, Tom Thomasma and Don Slager. - - . - A+ I- .iff l V Ballrnlu zip .lammIi11tl1rnfw.'

Ruttschufer, Vnn Dyken LF Kneeling: Vanden Berg' HE golf team this year suilered heavily through the loss of many veterans. Bob Van Dyken, lone representative from past years, carried the brunt of the burden of organizing a new squad of linksmen, but in view of the comparatively short time limit for spring sporting activities at Calvin, his efforts bore no fruit in the win columns for the Knights. The newcomers performed well considering the handicaps under which they were working, but the opposition was too strong, and our Knight golfers succumbed repeatedly. Our first test on the links came midway in April when our squad traveled out to face a strong Junior College foursome. Needless to say the Iaysee boys took our measure by an impressive score. Ferris, St. Marys, and Lawrence Tech played host to our boys during the latter part of April and proved very inhospitable by conf sistently outpointing us. Calvin fared little better in the conference meet held at Grand Rapids. Ferris walked off with the Michiganfflntario conference champion' ship. In the thirtyfsixfhole match three Ferris men came through with scores as follows: 15 4, 156, 157. This was enough to clinch the meet and the title. Personalities on the squad included Bob Van Dyken, Louie Vander Til, Johnnie Rottschafer, and Tommy Thomasma. Captain Bob, consistent, imperturbable, and reliable, is a master in his own right when on the green, but the additional work of scheduling games, arranging meets, and building a new squad hampered his game considerably. The new lads, Vander Til, Rottschafer, and Thomasma, have been improving right along and if each of these lads returns to Calvin next year we should have an efficient squad, capable of bringing the title back to our school trophy case. if 108 ll i :di31sdrg:5:1rli:gnBolt, Conch Muyskens, Van Dellen, De.

Among those gentlemen this year was a quartet of newcomers which has added balance and consistence to the team. Two of the novices are John Van Dellen and Peter De Jonge, sophomores who have had considerable experience and success in competitive play during their high school years. The others are Bob Bolt, a deepfdriving and good natured sophomore, and Henry Scholtens, a smooth stroking freshman with plenty of promise. These four augment the veterans of last year: Bud Hendrickson, a consistent player of four years' play, Charles Dekker, whose success lies in his height, and John Leys, the fighting lad from Sheboygan. The team has had a very successful season thus far, having dropped only one match and won ive. The loss, which was to Ferris, was later avenged at a return match on our own courts. The wins included a pair over Grand Rapids junior College, whose team this year is not as strong as it has been in previous years. Alma's racquet swingers also fell before the Knights in some hard fought matches. During a twofday road trip, the team did a little fancy court cavorting to defeat St. Mary's 5f2 and trounce Lawrence Tech 8f1. Cn May 10 and 11, the M.C.C.C. Conference meet was held in Grand Rapids for the second successive year, Calvin defending its championship. The boys failed to hit top form and were eliminated from the tournament rather early. 66 109 U F a matriculating group of about i 120, approximately eighty survivors remain to scan the tabloid of the four' year history of the senior class. Many friendly faces have fallen from the ranks, strengthening in a way the ties that bind us who have clung to the l ca-use which we originally espoused.

Many intimate friendships, several dramatic experiences and a general congenial atmosphere characterized our period of association. Although the class accomplished no outstanding feats, contained no brilliant wits and caused no sensational pyrotechnics here, its greatest forte has been the diligent observance of its duties and obligations as a class. Internal cooperation marked our social activitiesg class parties stood out as models of cooperative enterprise. Cooperation with our instructors and with other classes supplemented our sucf cessful domestic relations.

Vertregt HE Alumni Association, which now includes members from the College Seminary and Preparatory Schools, was organized soon after the first students graduated from the original Theological Seminary. Since that time it has gone through several periods of decline and growth. The present organization was instituted in 1920 after a particularly slack period. In that year a few interested graduates met and revived the organization which has continued to grow to the present day. Dr. C. Broodman was the first president. All students and graduates who have attended the College, Seminary, or Prep. School for one or more years are members of the Association. The aggregate number of these would probably reach close to 1,700, a truly formidable number. Of these there are about 250 to 300 who attend the Annual Banquet and thus become active members. The purpose of the organization is to promote interest in the Alma Mater and fellowship among the Alumni. Its aim is to establish chapters in the various places where one may find former Calvin students. This would include such distant places as China, Africa, South America and Europe. Chapters have already been organized in California and New Jersey, which hold annual meetings. Each year the organization awards the Alumni Scholarship to the outstanding student of the College Freshman Class. Two annual prizes are also given, one in the College and one in the Seminary, in a department specified by the respective faculties. A bulletin of interests and activities is sent out to all members twice yearly. Besides the Annual Banquet of the Association the College Seniors are entertained at a dinner in their honor. The administration of the Association is in the hands of a board of 10 members. It is made up of President, VicefPresident, SecretaryfTreasurer, and an Assistant, four members at large and the Seminary and College Presidents, who act in an advisory capacity. Members of the present board are: Dr. H. Ryskamp, President, Rev. C. Hylkema, VicefPresidentg Miss I. Baker, Treasurer and Permanent Secretaryg Miss W. Vertregt, Assistant: Pres. J. Broene, Mrs. P. Hoekstra, Mrs. P. Northouse, Mr. P. De Visser, Mr. H. Holtvluwer, Pres. L. Berkhof. 1412473 Marty of our alumni have distinguished themselves in the various fields of life. We have selected the following men as representatives of the several departments of our College. A glance at the accomplishments and honors thy have achieved should affirm the caliber and worth of the Calvin alumnus. 1 THEOLOGY AND MEDICINE Born in the province of Friesland, The Netherlands.

Cf 129 H THE CHALLENGE OF THE PRESENT DAY T is a great privilege to be called to the Christian ministry, and the task which it involves is one of the most important in the world. It is a task imposed and defined by the King of the Church, a task interpreted and elucidated by prophets and apostles. The minister's bounden duty is to preach the unsearchable richness of Christ, to point to the way of the cross as the only way of salvation, to lead sinners to Christ, and to hold up before them constantly and clearly the ideal of Christian living as it is presented in the word of Cod. This is in itself a compref hensive and difficult task, so diificult in fact that it sometimes causes us to ask with Paul, Who is sufficient unto these things? But the difficulty increases in the measure in which the opposition to the truth becomes more apparent, the social, cultural, and economic structure becomes more complex, and life in general is organized in a way that makes the application of Christian principles seemingly impossible. The difficulties with which faithful ministers are confronted at the present time are simply overwhelming. There is widespread opposition to the word of Cod, and unwillingness to return to it even on the part of those who feel that Modernism has failed. The general organization of life has become such as to make it appear impracticable to apply the principles of the Christian religion in every domain of life. Now the minister can take the easy road by bringing his message into conformity with the demands of secular culture and modern science and philosophy. It is the road that was traveled by the inodernists that led them in the direction of paganism. Disillusionment, bitter disappointment, blasted hopes, and even despair, were the result. The preacher who follows that road denies his master and is untrue to his commission. Be Ye not conformed to the world, is an emphatic warning for ministers of the Worcl. He must be true to his charge, must bring the old, old message, cast in the thoughtfforms of the present day, couched in the living language of the present generation, and interpreted with a view to the needs of the time in which he lives. Cnly the man who continues diligent in the study of Cod's Word, who has the courage of his convictions, who prays much and earnestly, who has at least a general knowledge of the problems that present themselves, and who is alive to the needs of the present, can hope to succeed in this important task. 4-pac? ff 130 SEMINARY VIBRATIONS HE warmth and drowsiness of a long summer afternoon was slowly and imperf ceptably being dissolved into the briskness and vigor of a stimulating autumn morning as the portals of our seminary once again swung outward, beckoning those who would come from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the palm tree to the pine. As we swing our telescopic eye to the north we are confronted with the sight of three figures crossing the AmericanfCanadian border: the corpulent form of John lvlulder accompanied by his classmates, lanky Fred Netz, and pudgy Harry Boer, who have been engaged in pastoral work in the land of our neighbors to the north. From the sunfbaked plains of South Dakota appear Siebert Kramer and james Daane, also having been active in the Lord's vineyard. Gysbert Rozenf boom and Garrett Vande Riet, in company with two gentlemen from the college, return from a quartette tour. Gerrit Boeref lijn comes from his pastoral labors in sunny California, while Harold Petroelje reports his partftime work in a local mission. Arthur Hoogstrate has busied himself with preach' ing and manual labor in Pennsylvania, while Vxfilliam Paul Brink has performed similarly in Chicago. Win. Vander Haak tells us of his Bible school in Luctor, Kansas, while Harold Dekker voices the happiness he has found in the work of preaching and of selling Bibles in Iowa. Tony Hoekema is seen around the campus also this year as an instructor in the College department. Entering these halls of learning for the iirst time are Henry Baak, John Botting, Bernard Haan, John Ibershof, John Kromf minga and Walter Teeuwissen, all from Grand Rapidsg Henry Petersen from Grand Haven, Henry Exoo from Clevelandg Hessel Oppenhuizen whose home is in Thoreau, New Mexicog Paul Ouwinga from Marion, Michigang and Anthony Rozendal from Maurice, Iowa. 6613137 1 Louis Berkhof, B.

Professor of Ethics and Apoloizetics Henry Schultze, B. D. Professor of Exegetical Theoluiry, N. T. Martin Wyngaarden. Ph. D. Professor of Exegetical Theology, O. T. Qur faculty men were also diligent in various activities during the summer months. Prof. Volbeda went about preaching throughout the western section of our country. Prof. Bouma represented our institution at Cambridge at the inter' varsity conference. The remaining four faculty members were delegates to the Christian Reformed Synod. They once again took up their duties of leading and guiding young men in their preparation for the work as shepherds of His sheep. Quite naturally, the opening exercises constitute the first group assembly of the year. In his characteristic friendly manner, President Berkhof said a few words of warm welcome. The address of the morning was delivered by Prof. Bouma. His words of challenge and inspiration moved the students to a healthy exercise in the resolve to prepare for life's work. The sincerity and warmth of the reception afforded the newcomers was further manifested by the faculty reception held soon after the academic year had begun. At this occasion Prof. Wyiigaarden spoke in his customary thorough manner. But the glad hand of welcome wasn't extended by the faculty alone. The upper classmen also reflected the same spirit. G. Boerehjn, as representative of the seniors, extended a word of welcome in a winning way which Wm. Brink, a middler, reiterated in his usual confident and capable manner, followed by H. Petersen, who with dry humor accepted the proffers as the spokesman for the juniors. G G R R A A D D U U A A T T E E S S Gerrit Bnerefyn Jnmes Duane The year began with the smallest Senior class in the history of the Seminary - two members. Strange also that these two should in their characteristics represent two distinct types. Daane, possessing the happy combination of a brilliant mind and a frank and candid manner, can be seen slouching through the halls in a not too ambitious manner devising ways and means of transferring some little job to the shoulders of his classmate. A slight acquaintance with Boerefijn will convince anyone of his sincerity, his industriousness, his humor and good nature. Very close harmony exists between the two. Cf 1:52 yy While we seem to be busy characterizing, it is interesting to note the positive contrast exhibited by the Middlers and Juniors, The following description, I believe, presents a true picture of the lvliddlersz a dissipation rather than a focusing of interests, unpredictable procrastination, spontaneity, nonfconformity, colorg in short, all the virtues and vices of originality. And then in comparison the Juniors are very industrious, conforming in all things, persistent pluggers, no particular originality, rather colorless. l Standing: G. Vnnde Rell. G. Rnzenlmnm, H.

The members of the club this year, as in past years, have been led through the fertile fields of theology by Prof . Kromminga, using as a basis for study this year, Urns book, entitled Christian View of God and the World. Membership is limited to twelve. lvleetings are held once every two weeks at the homes of the various men, at which time a carefully prepared paper is read and a vigorous and enlightening discussion follows. The members bear witness to the fact that this year also they have obtained a clearer understanding of our position in theology and that it has been caused in no small measure by the opportunity of expressing qi 1:33 my Standing: Bernard Haan.

S. are the call letters of the League of Evangeli' cal students, of which our Seminary also forms a chapter. The League endeavors to bring Christ to the campuses of the colleges and universities of our country where His name is not known nor His precepts obeyed. g l Recently a convention was held at Philadelphia to which John' Mulder our delegates, Boerefijn and Mulder, were sent, and at which Mulder had the honor of being elected National President of the League. Our chapter has as its energetic program: publicity for the league, financial aid and field work. Each day, between nine and nineffifteen, there is a devotional period conducted by the students and the professors. This is held in the quiet and restful confines of the chapel where the very environment breathes communion with God. Quite often guest speakers are secured, among whom have been Dr. Cremer, formerly a medical missionary to Ethiopia, Dr. Harrison, engaged in the same type of work in Arabia, and the Revs. Hoffmeyer and Van Baalen, pastors in Grand Rapids. The wellfbalanced student realizes that the pursuit of knowledge and the effort at spiritual development, although overshadowing, must not completely eclipse, the training of the body. Exercising in the great outfoffdoors as well as in the 44 1:44 yy gymnasium is a phase of student life. During the fall season a contest of volley bail was in evidence between the college faculty and the Seminarians, the former being victorious. The spirit of intense rivalry is a moving factor in the struggle between the Ivliddlers and juniors, with Boer's inveterate optimism and Ibershof's hery generalship a constant source of stimulation. An innovation this year is the establishment of a Prayer Day Service. Guest speakers this year were: Acting President Broene from the college who convincingly answered the question, What Our Christian Schools Need Most? shortly folf lowed by the Director of Missions of the Christian Reformed Church, Dr. De Korne, who in a heart stirring talk enumerated and explained the pressing mission needs of 1940. The qualification of a Christian minister was the topic so thoroughly discussed in a brief allotment of time by Rev. Critter. The program was liberally interspersed with vocal music. The service so eminentf ly devotional was yet intensely practical. DIES NATALIS lfif-m.my Pm-1 y March IS is a time of happiness and joy for all those concerned and interested in the welfare of Calf vin Seminary. It marks the day of its birth! 64 years ago our seminary came into being through the grace of God. It has stood ever since as a bulwark against all sorts of winds of doctrine, boldly maintaining and ardently proclaiming the Calf vinistic world and life view. The program this year contained: skits by the Juniors and Middlersg a quartette composed of Seminary meng short talks by the Revs. Lamberts and Krohneg a solo by Doris Van Delleng and an unusual number, in the few words uttered, by Rev. Shin Hong Myung, a graduate student from Pyengyang, Korea, who spoke of the glories of Calvin. The toastmaster was the Rev. H. Verduin. Our earnest hopes and sincere prayers are that our seminary may go on from year to year with increasing strength, ever pursuing the path of the true, the good and the beautiful. ff iss my THE 1940 E lIyI'IIZ'i1IyS by PRISM JAHN 8c OLLIER ENGRAVING CO.
