Professor John II. Kleinheksel On Sunday evening, June 11th, 1916, Professor John H. Kleinheksel died at his home on Twelfth Street in the City of Holland, after a lingering illness, caused by chronic pleurisy and heart trouble. Owing to the commanding position which he had held in the church and society and the world of education and business, his death caused the deepest sorrow and spread the greatest gloom over the City and the Institution, both of which he loved so well and served so faithfully. He was in the very prime of life, having been born in Overisel, Allegan County, Michigan, on March 3, 1854, from a sturdy stock of Holland pio- neers, and in the midst of an ever-widening sphere of useful activities. After having attended and taught school in his native town, he became a student at Hope College and graduated in 1878. with high honors, due to his keen, philosophic mind and his propensity for work. He was disposed to enter the profession of Law. for which he seemed to have every qualification, but so great was the demand of his Alma Mater for his services and so great was his loyal devotion to her, that he yielded his personal preferences and gave himself unreservedly and unselfishly to the cause of education at Hope, where for thirty-eight years, as instructor and professor of Mathematics, and for twenty-three years, as Vice-President, he lived and labored with ever-increasing power and prestige. In August, 1884, he was married to Anna S. Van Raalte, the youngest daughter of the Founder of the Holland Colonyâ in Michigan. This union was an ideally happy one, and three sons, Paul. Frank De Mocn, and Lewis J. and one daughter, Vera, blessed the union. Vera, the only daughter, died on Feb- ruary 2nd, 1910, and the mother followed her daughter on February 22nd, 1914. The I lomc Professor Kleinheksel was a home builder and a home lover. Unselfish devo- tion. ardent love, genuine sympathy, and perfect peace were the atmosphere of his home. Friends and guests were always welcome and loved the warm greet- ing and the good cheer with which they were received in this happy home, with its spirit of genuine culture and refinement. The American home is the choicest spot on all this earth, and his was the ideal American home, with the altar, the music, the library, the art. and the all-pervading sunlight of love. The Educator Every student who was ever in his classroom, will gladly testify to the well-earned reputation and fame of Professor Kleinheksel as a teacher. W hile he was a master of his subject and was so recognized in the state, the great book from which his scholars learned most was the book of his own consistent life. His unique personality, his lofty ideals, his stainless character, his purity, his heroic faith, his dauntless courage, his broad sympathies, his strong con- victions, his open-mindedness, his persistence, his keen humor, his business sagacity, his patriotism, his true Americanism, and his deep and changeless love for all his students entered into their very life-blood, bone, marrow and sinew, and gave them strength and courage for lifeâs battles. His virtues live on in them. He is immortal on earth as well as in heaven. The efficiency of a teacher is measured not only by the degrees he has ob- tained, or by the brilliancy of his intellect, but also by the power of his person- ality and the dynamic force of his character. In those rare qualities, our friend excelled. 6 The Citizen No man lives to himself alone. The full-orbed life reaches out and comes into contact with every phase of human life and thought and lends a helping hand to all the great moral, spiritual, economic, and civic forces that are strug- gling to uplift mankind. Professor Kleinheksel was not a recluse, lie felt the keenest interest in the sweep of national and world events and kept in closest touch with them. He was a pioneer in the temperance movement, and loved to battle for all great reforms. The caucus, the primary, the political gathering, and the polls on election day, were never neglected. The Holland Chamber of Commerce often listened to his words of advice and he was a favorite at farmersâ gatherings. He was financially interested in many of Holland's most substantial business institutions and was a director of one of her banks. The Friend To his students, as we have seen, Professor Kleinheksel was more than a teacher; he was a guide, patron, and friend. To his associates, he was more than a pleasing companion; he was their friend. To his business acquaintances, he was more than a sharer in their dividends; he entered into their lives, he was their friend. Friendship to him was sacred and he was, therefore, always loyal. No gold ever rang truer than did his friendship. True friendship is always unselfish and sincere, and his was of the David and Jonathan type. Broken friendships he never knew. His loyal heart ever beat the faster when success and fortune smiled upon his friends. How well the words âgreat heartâ suit him. âHis life was gentle, and the elements So mixed in him that nature might stand up And say to all the world, âThis was a man.â The Christian Carlyle well said that the great thing about any man is his religion. Al- though Professor Kleinheksel had a deep, philosophic and a keen, analytic mind, much given to close reasoning and one which required clear proof and accurate demonstration to produce conviction, such a mind as is often found in the skep- tic, yet he embraced the Christianâs faith with his deepest convictions and with- out the shadow of a doubt. In the home, in society, in the Sunday-school as teacher and superintendent, in the church as elder, yes, wherever he went, he lived and talked a joyous Christian life. He bade farewell to his loved ones, not only with the hope, but with the fullest assurance, that he would meet them again. He was a sincere, a happy Christian. In this faith he lived, loved, and finally fell asleep. âThough âneath the clouds of the valley Forms that we cherish may sleep; God has commanded his angels Watch oâer our loved ones to keep. Only the leaves of the vine tree Wither and languish and die; God hath transplanted its branches, Garnered its fruits in the sky.â 7 G. J. Diekf.ma, â81. Rkv. . Vk.nni ma. I).

Everybody felt the intensity of its presence and many sensed the profundity of the enigma which its presence suggested. But few heard the spiritâs call and fewer still responded to her call. But here and there, some soul heeding the mandate of Nature, turned from his narrow sphere and wended his way to a pleasant vista in an obscure habitation. Mythical and fairy-like as this account may seemâsuch was the impulse which drew the C lass of '18 to Hope College. Thruout her existence, this class has ever been keenly aware of the enigma of the spirit of Hope and has attempted to fulfil her manifest destiny. Slowly and surely she is comprehending the immensity and the gravity of her task and mission. She has learned the creed of the spirit Hopeâadvance and progress fortitude and manfulnessâscholarship and culture an idea and an ideal. We began our career as most other classes do. by generously soaking the Sophomores in the Ottawa river, but ever after that day called the Black river by the local folk. We produced a varsity debater; our neophyte orators did well in the local contests. We met all comers in football, basketball, and track, and remained inter-class champions of the court game for the year. Our house parties were the most festive on the campus, while our âweinie roastsâ surpassed all in gayety. At the opening of the Sophomore year, we, as most all other classes do. accepted the invitation of the class of â19 to come across the river, but only after the space of an hour and twenty minutes of Bulldog-likeâ resistance. We maintained our debating standard, took second in the local Dryâ contest, and carried off first honors in the Raven. We also produced the best long distance runner our school has ever known. This year, gentle reader, our record is truly great. e have produced one-half of the varsity debaters; the State Peace and Prohibition orators were from our number, as were also two stars on the varsity â5â; the track captaincy and the baseball management is ours. But chiefest of all. we are issuing The Milestone, and arc thereby saving it from a relapse into a state of eternal oblivion. And now we hope and believe that you who read this record will not think us vainglorious in the citation of our deeds, but rather consider that we have herein merely set down the simple facts, so that you may gain an inkling of the autobiography of the authors of this work. e close this dissertation with malice towards none but with best wishes to you all from the sponsors ol I HE 1917 MILESTONE.- THE JUNIORS.

Vyn The school year â16-â17 finds the invincible Class of 1919 surpassing even the grand achievements of its first year as Hopeites. Unflinching class loyalty; a spirit that will not down; athletic, literary, and oratorical ability- all have combined to make the Sophomores a class nonpareil. The mere mention of a few of their accomplishments supplies somewhat of truth for this fact. The Class of 1919 is only the second in the history of Hope College that has not trodden the muddy bottom of Black River. In only two years they have won two class basketball championships and one class foot- ball championship. All of Hopeâs athletic teams draw largely upon Sophomore material. Last year two-thirds of the baseball team, and one-half of the track team were Sophs. The basketball team of this year was one-half Sophomore, and the second team three-fourths. Xot only docs athletic talent abound, but among the Sophomores we find talent of every kind. In college activities they are not surpassed by any class. Three members of the College Quartette, one-third of the Volunteers, one-third of the Glee Club, one-half of the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, and the majority of the Anchor staff are members of the Class of â19. In oratory and debate the Sophs have not yet come to their own but there is abundance of forensic talent which in the two following years promises big things for I lope. Two years of untrammeled progress challenge the noblest efforts of Hopeâs most cherished class, whose beautiful banner has been torn to shreds, but whose spirit remains unbroken.

The world was mute with awe and admira- tion, then sighed, shook its head, and bewailed the passing of the Semi-Centennial and with it the glory of the College. But âFather Timeâ chuckled, and with a twinkle in his eye turned the next year's page and displayed the Class of 1920. the class which ushered in the new era of fifty years. The world gasped, sat up, and rubbed its eyes. âAhem ! A11 apology must certainly be made. Talk about the vanished glory of the college, this looks like the real thing. Con- gratulations! âFather Time and ()ld World laughed delightedly, and eagerly leaned forward to watch the career of the Class of 1920. With such a contagious enthusiasm did this noble class enter the doors of Hope, that the sleeping natives within were roused from their slumber to open admiration. âAre these Freshmen? they exclaimed; these strong-minded and intellectual-appearing youths and maidens? They look more like Seniors. And they immediately proceeded to gather these newcomers into their most elite circles. But the lowest class of the natives, the aborigines, proved envious and malignant and demanded retribution in the form of a light. How these revengeful ones (as the evil ever turn cowardly in the light of the good) left the battlefield ere the fight was half completed, posterity will never tire of recounting. But the flut- ter of the wings of Peace soon soothed all angry breasts, and the daily history of the Freshmen class continued to crown the records of their Alma Mater. With what wisdom did they conduct their meetings, elect their leaders, and retain that levelness of head and friendliness of disposition which have made them so popular! The Faculty has smiled more broadly and more frequently because of their classroom brilliancy; the College âfans have grown actually optimistic because of their basketball ability; but the whole College went mad with joy when one of their number and a suffragette at that won State honors in oratory. Has there been any field of endeavor into which this aston- ishing class has not entered, and starred ? Though often attacked from am- bush bv the still uncivilized aborigines, they have surmounted all difficulties, and now, at the close of their first year, still possess that equanimity of spirit and that steadfastness of purpose which make them unique, and which herald the time of greenless and fearless Freshmen. 36 37 Dc Win T.

Members are elected for one year only. The Council, besides being the final arbiter in all disputes, finances- both debating and oratory, arranges for special mass meetings, sees to the enforce- ment of both written and unwritten laws, upholds Mope traditions, and super- vises generally those matters of vital concern to the student body.

The programs, consisting of literary and musical numbers, are planned to develop the members along intellectual and social lines. They are followed by a short social hour so that the girls may form closer friendships with one another. The society aids materially in the attainment of culture, which the college desires to promote, and it ever holds forth the ideals of Knowl- edge, Truth, and Friendship.â OFFICERS President.....

From the beginning all have worked together to strengthen and upbuild it and its continual growth shows that their efforts have been richly rewarded. By its meetings held every Friday evening during the school year, it aims to develop within the girls a deeper interest in one another and in humanity in general, a broader knowledge of the world, its movements and its heroes, and a more intense desire to serve their country and the world. Such are the stand- ards set before its members that each one as she leaves its halls as one of its alumnae will remember and cherish its ideals and will endeavor to make them a part of herself and make the influence of Delphi felt wherever she goes.

Since that time her cherished sons have constantly been directing their efforts towards the realization of that dream. 'Phis world view characterizes the weekly meetings.

Organized in 1909 by twelve debutant Col- legians. it has steadily developed in all of its various activities. Meetings are held every week, at which the best the society is capable of is rendered, whether in the field of instruction, inspiration, or entertainment. Extempore speaking is compulsory, while criticism, both destructive and constructive, is especially em- phasized. The society has for its central objective the all-around development of every member, and the faithful followers of the Ruby-Black trust that it may ever remain loyal to the old-loved ()range and Blue, and that the ideals of the organization as expressed on its triangle the social, the moral, and the intel- lectualâmay ever be maintained.

The need of another literary fraternity had been felt on the campus for many years, because of the fact that the societies already existing could not accommodate the fast growing number of male students that come to Hope College. Consequently, many college men were without a society home. Hence. The Knights of Hope. The work that has been accomplished, as well as the benefits derived in the uplift of its mem- bers along social and literary lines, make the members feel confident that it will be but a short time before their society will take its place on an equal basis with the other societies on the campus. The circle is composed of twenty-two mem- bers and meets every Friday evening in Monogram Hall.

The purpose of its foundingâthe stimulation of interest in the Holland language and literatureâhas never waned. Meetings are held every Monday evening in Ullilas Hall, the best in the language being presented. The club is also the only college society that is privileged to render a public program during commencement week, and the attending throngs bear testimony to the character of the work. The unabated interest of Professor A. Raap of the Holland Lan- guage and Literature department largely fosters the continued success of the organization. OFFICERS President.....

The purpose of this organizationâthe fostering of scientific researchâis ever kept in mind and its programs are always most instructive and modern. I'rom time to time, the club is privileged to listen to excellent papers by the scientific men of the community. Although its membership is necessarily very limited, yet with its associate members, who have always shown a keen in- terest in the work of this club, its fortnightly meetings prove a wonderful source of instruction as well as of interest and pleasure. Although occasionally the metaphysical field of science is entered, and with most promising results, never- theless its papers usually treat of some topic of interest in chemistry, physics, or biology.

Prins Van Hazel C. Dosker Pleiade In the fall of 1916 the men who were taking the course in French Drama organized a society known as the Pleiade. This society was not a literary one, hut one that had for its purpose âgood fellowship. As the term advanced, men from the other departments were included and the original membership of seven was increased to thirteen. So strongly was the idea of good fellowship carried out that in a single term the society became known as the peppiest hunch on the campus,â and the men- tion of the word Pleiade meant a good time for all concerned. There were many âfeedsâ given and a couple of âall night sessions were indulged in by the mem- bers. Never before has such an all-around bunch existed on the campus, for scholars, athletes, and musicians are to be found among the members. This organization will undoubtedly play a still greater part in the college life of Hope in the coming year, and will help the people of the city to realize that they have a college in the town. 64 65 66 The Young Men's Christian Association of Hope College is distinctly an even-man's association, where every man knows that he i welcome. The in- spiration of the weekly prayer-meetings, the annual week of prayer with its at- tendant consecration and reconsecration to higher and nobler effort for moral and spiritual attainment, the spirit of brotherhood and Christian fellowship which the association engendersâthese are facts of common knowledge and ex- perience to all who have come into searching contact with the Y. M. C. A. As an official organization, the association is managed by a cabinet composed of a president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, and eight committee chair- men. This cabinet meets regularly every week to discuss needs and plans for work and to pray for the deepening of their own spiritual lives so that they may minister to the spiritual needs of others. Their task is not an easy one, but theirs is the reward of a fuller Christian experience and a loftier vision of service. To the man just entering college, the Y. M. C. A. handshake is the channel through which the heart of man meets on common footing, while the tie o! Christian love binds them in a friendship which is eternal. To the man about to leave college, this handshake is the God-speed of friends who follow as he passes out into wider service. The Y. M. C. A. is the training camp of the Christian soldier. It is the recruiting ground where the private enters the ranks. President..... Vice President Secretary...... Treasurer.. . . OFFICERS ...................Irwin J.

J. Elliott, familiarly named âDad.â He is the celebrated Traveling Secretary of the International Y. M. C. A., but to every Ilopeite, he is just plain Dad.â I'or some years past, the students who had been to Lake Geneva and had returned with deeper consecration and more determined purpose to live better Christian lives, invariably spoke of the gratifying influence which âDadâ ex- erted upon them to this end. Little wonder, then, that we eagerly awaited the day when this man of God should actually come to our own campus and we should all be privileged to hear him. Before âDadâsâ coming, group prayer- meetings in the different fellowsâ rooms had prepared the soil, and a splendid harvest for the Kingdom was assured. On Sunday morning, Nov. 26, âDadâ had his first meeting, which was fol- lowed by five others, and reached a climax when he spoke on âQuitters.â The following Wednesday morning, we had a farewell meeting in the gymnasium, and a most impressive meeting it was. Results? Yes. we believe that the Heavenly Latherâs Book of Life shows that we made great gains in that campaign toward the goal set in September, namely Jesus Christ, King of the campus and every man a follower of Him. A most impressive scene was that of âDadâsâ departure. A large delegation of students and faculty members escorted him to the train, and midst hand- shakes, cheers, and songs, we saw him off. Surely we missed him on the cam- inis. for in those few days of the campaign. Dadâ had won a place in the heart of each of us; he had been to us like a big brother, yea. a father, our own Dad.â In after life, when our children will ask us to explain the Greek second aorist or the properispomenon, possibly and quite probably our memories will fail us; but if on our sixtieth or seventieth birthday we should be asked to de- fine a âquitter, or explain how a young lover handles the correspondence of his sweetheart, then memory will span the decades and recall how Dadâ told us of those things away back in that campaign at Hope. Though he be miles away from us now, we still feel the grip of that hearty handshake; we can see the winning, ear-to-ear smile; we feel his influence in our daily devotions; and possibly within a year or two, we shall have another visit from âDad and again be led from the valley to the mountain top, to see once more the beauty and the grandeur of a closer personal fellowship with our Lord and Saviour. Jesus Christ. 71 Cooper Klaaren (Pres.) P. Baker V. Potts W. Stegeman J. Stegeman P. Prills Ter Borg Ilibma Miss Coburn Kortcling Miss Menning Dc Vries H.

This expression lias been applied to various organizations on the campus, and yet none has a better claim to it than has the Student Vol- unteer Band. If growth he an evidence of life, then here is life rich, ex- uberant. overflowing. After graduation last June, only five members were left in the Band, but in seven months this number has increased to twenty-eight. Xever before in the history of Hope College has there been so large a num- ber of students looking forward to foreign missionary service as there i this year. And our local Band is the tie that binds those who have formally de- clared themselves as Volunteers for the foreign field. Missionary enthusiasm has always run high at Hope. W e point with pride to a map of the world, and indicate where Hope graduates are carrying the light of the gospel to the lands in heathen darkness. China. Japan, Arabia, India, Egypt- all have felt the beneficent influence of our own dear Hope. How we love to conjure up the names of Otte. Zwcmer, Peeke, Oltmans. Roti schaefer, arnhuis. and a host of others, messengers of Hope, heroes in the conquest that shall ere long, we trust, make Jesus Christ King of kings and Lord of lords through all the earth. And in the local Band there are those of like serious purpose, hard at work in the training camps, preparing to strengthen the main army and to fill the broken ranks. This year has been an unusual one for the Volunteer Band in three ways. First of all. we have had the good fortune of hearing some splendid mission- aries, who came to us with burning messages from the front. Among these were Paul Harrison of Arabia, Dr. Strick of China. Dr. Chamberlain of the Reformed Board of Foreign Missions, and Dr. Robert 1C Speer of the Presby- terian Board. Then, too, the second Quadrennial Conference of the Student Volunteer Movement of the colleges of Michigan was held at Ann Arbor, and sixteen Hopeites attended. Third, the missionary enthusiasm generated by the Band has been put to good effect in the establishment of Hope High School in Madanapellc. India, whose principal is being supported by the students of Hope College. More than seven hundred fifty dollars has been raised this year for foreign missions. The Volunteer Band at Hope is just coming to its own. and in the years to come will play a much larger part in student activities. We are thankful for the Band, and the S udent Volunteers alone can fully realize what it means to those whose aims and ambitions are wrapped up in foreign missionary serv- ice to be thus united into a local Band and to be a part of that great Student Volunteer Movement which never thinks in terms of race, color, or national boundary, but strives only for the evangelization of the whole world, for the establishment of His Kingdom in all the earth. Missionary Campaign I lope College has an exceptional missionary record, especially in the number of missionaries she has con- tributed to the Orient. In 1910, Dr. John K. Mott published a statement to the effect that in proportion to her enrollment, Hope College had given more missionaries to the world than any other college in the country. Al- though from year to year the college is growing and extending her depart- ments, the spirit of interest in mis- sions is not waning. Due largely to the evangelistic campaign of the week of prayer, the membership in the Stu- dent Volunteer Band has sprung from six to thirty students. The year 1916-17 marks a new era in the history of the college for mis- sionary activity. The Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. organizations have raised four hundred dollars toward domestic interests. But it is on the altar of foreign missionary enterprise that the coals of devotion and sacrifice have glowed most brilliantly. This year the students and Faculty of Hope College have assumed the support of John 1). Muyskens, â14, of Hope High School at Madanapalle, India. For the raising of this fund, the Student Vol- unteers launched a big missionary campaign. The principal feature of the cam- paign was a large mass meeting, and the principal feature of the mass meeting was an address by Dr. Wilbur 1. Chamberlain, Secretary of Foreign Missions, K. C. A. Speaking from a personal and intimate knowledge, Dr. Chamberlain graphically pictured the work that 1 lopeâs men are doing on the foreign field. He reached the climax of his appeal when he said that the Foreign Miss. Board R. C. A., would rcchristen the Madanapalle High School as Hope High School, provided Hope College would assume the support of the principal. Within fif- teen minutes six hundred and seventy dollars was pledged to the fund. Some- time later he wrote in a letter, âThe rousing meeting held in Winantâs Chapel on the evening of January 30 will remain as one of my happiest and most im- pressive experiences with student bodies.â Hope College is continually strengthening her hold upon the world. Hope Hospital at Amoy, China, and Hope High School at Madanapalle, India, are beautiful monuments of Hopeâs influence in extending the Kingdom of our Christ. John I).

Lcri-.kks 80 i Marv Geet.h 81 Michigan Oratorical League W ere we to look back over a year replete with big undertakings in athletic, scholastic, and religious lines, and abounding in the things which make for the glory of âOld Hope,â we can hardly help but feel that the high-water mark was reached when we entertained the Michigan Oratorical League and scored a dou- ble triumph for the Orange and Blue. It was not without its dramatic possibilities that at the apex of her oratorical fame, with Steinengerâs national victory a verdant bud in our memory, Hope College, herself, should be hostess to one of the finest gatherings of orators the State has thus far seen. It is only once in eight years that Hope has the oppor tunity to entertain the Michigan Oratorical League. And it is possibly only once in a life-time that that opportunity follows two consecutive state victories and a national victory the year previous! Combine with this a possibility of winning both the menâs and womenâs contests on the home floor, and you have all the factors which made the gathering one of the most memorable in the history of the college. And as such, Hope made the most of it. Appropriately decorated, on the second of March, 1917, with flags and bunt- ing, pennants and seals, in full gala array, Carnegie Hall presented a splendid battle-ground for the silver-tongued warriors of the State. First to engage the attention of the scorer was the ladiesâ contest in the afernoon. And it was a fine contest from start to finish. As hostess, it was Hopeâs privilege to speak first. Opening fire with her splendid oration, âDiplomacyâa Secret Craft or an Open Art?â Miss Mary Gcegh set a standard of excellence which was hard to surpass and which not a few âHope-full ones thought could not be ex- celled. But the orators battered at her mark in such a masterly manner as to throw a cloud of doubt over the ultimate outcome of the fray. They followed in order, each speaker holding the audience tense beneath her captivating qual- ities of suavity, forcefulness, and her burning conviction that she had a vital message to present to the people. The decision of the three judges was de- ferred until the end of the eveningâs performance. The record of the day would not be complete did we not here turn from the strictly forensic and record the wholly enjoyable reception to the visiting delegates given by the Faculty and Senior Class at Voorhccs Hall. The meet- ing of new friends, the music of the Ckelele orchestra, and the very welcome refreshments combined to make it a most pleasant occasion. The evening contest came as a grand climax to the dayâs activities. Lacked to the doors with an audience intently interested in the outcome of the mo- mentous struggle for state oratorical supremacy, the âgymâ presented a spec- tacle which could not but inspire every person present with the bigness of the occasion. Lntlnisiasm ran high. College songs and yells, led by our efficient leader Jay Doskcr, the music of two bands, and the dramatic appearance of the âPeerless German Fife and Drum Corps,â held all the audience at the highest pitch of excitement and expectation for over an hour. And finally the contest itself began. Irwin Lubbers, Hopeâs protagonist, began the fray with his masterly ora- tion, âAmericaâs Declaration of Interdependence.â With an earnest, spirited delivery and a clear-cut appeal, Irwin brought home to his hearers his world- embracing message of universal peace. The orators who followed were un- doubtedly strongâPellowe of Albion, being a former rival of Irwinâs in the Adrian Prohibition meet. And yet it was with a feeling of assured confidence that Hope awaited the dramatic climax of the dayâs performance in the reading of the judgesâ decision for the two contests by Mr. Davies of Alma: 82 Ladiesâ Contest First, Miss Mildred A. 'Panis, Kalamazoo. Second, Miss Mary Geegh, Hope. Third, Miss Ivalcen F. Hough, Vpsilanti. Menâs Contest First, Irwin Lubbers, Mope. Second, William C. S. Iâellowe, Albion. Third, Harold Grey Osborn. Kalamazoo. The impetus of so great a victory could not be suddenly checked. And so going on into the Eastern Interstate contest at Indianapolis, Irwin, with an even better delivery, was ranked as one of the three contestants, thus winning the honor of competing in the final Interstate Contest. Hut I lopeâs oratorical record would not be complete were it to include only her performance in the Michigan Oratorical League. It is gratifying to record that no matter what contest she enters, her record is always one to be proud of. This year besides the two contests of the Michigan Oratorical League we sent a man to rep- resent us in the State Peace contest at Vpsilanti. Competing there against the orators from five of the other institutions in the state, our representative, Edward H. Foster, was awarded second place, being defeated for first honors by the representative from the Iâniversity of Michigan. In a short time, Walter Scholten will represent I lope in the State Prohibition contest and we are confident that he will hold up our banner as high as ever. 83 Wai.tkr A. Scholtk.v Debating The department of debating at Hope parallels the department of oratory. Though it holds no definite place in the school curriculum, and is scarcely deemed worthy of recognition by the studentry, nevertheless Hope stands as the leader in Michigan Intercollegiate Debating, having gained a record of which every true blue I lopeite might well be proud. Being a member of two triangles, the Alma-Olivet-Hope triangle estab- lished in lb'07. and the Kalamazoo-Hillsdale-Hope triangle organized in 1914, Hope affords an opportunity for twelve men to spend many days in prepara- Bckggkaaff Kiizknga WlERENGA.

The dramatic event of the year was greeted by a capacity house because previous years had shown that Senior classes can do a great deal. The verdict of the audience was one of most enthusiastic approval and very hearty encouragement. Capable critics pronounced the rendition of the play, the best amateur dramatic offering staged in the city for many years. The acting throughout the play was very good. Miss Eva Leenhouts as Lady Mary carried the leading ladyâs part with rare charm, interpreting the buoyant, out-of-door girl of the island as skillfully as she did the haughty, indolent woman of nobility. Lawrence Dalman in the title role scored brilliantly as the perfect butler in Kngland and as the natural leader of the castaway party on the island. Messrs Vander Meer, Gumser, and Cathcart and the Misses Hopkins, Van Burke, and Keppel carried out their parts beautifully. The play was an assured success.

It ; authorities still see lit to hold the ban upon the game that makes for true manhood and the largest school spirit. Class football, besides bringing out class spirit, has created an insistent de- mand for inter-collegiate football. Inter-class football, the substitute for the intercollegiate game, has aroused much enthusiasm. The race for first honors centered, this year, about the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior aggregations. The Sophomores finally succeeded in winning the championship. The inter-class games have developed football material in abundance and have clearly demon- strated that I lope could hold her own with the colleges of the state, were she permitted to contend against them. W e are looking forward to the time when Hope will again come into her own and will be able to match her skill against all rivals on the gridiron. 97 98 Basketball Again Hope College has proved herself mistress in her most famous recrea tion and most celebrated diversion. She has met some of the fastest teams in the Middle W est and has either conquered or given the enemy her hardest battle. The men have worked together and have given Hope a machine of which she is more than proud. Our record has been a very satisfactory one and. although each man on the team deserves his just praise, we owe to Coach Schouten the highest commenda- tion for his loyal and tireless efforts. Wâe know what he can do and we have every reason to expect still greater things if he will consent to lead our fellows into the fray next year. Hope has lost one more game than she has won. but she still continues with her basketball prestige as high as ever. She has not only succeeded in conquer- ing the far-famed M. A. C. Ouintet, but she has offered such a battle royal to the 1. A. C. aggregation the 1916-1917 national champions- that she may well be considered one of the leading teams in the Middle W est. Although Dalman did not finish the season, he was Hopeâs biggest point getter, ringing up forty-six baskets from the field and fifty-one from the foul line, making a total of one hundred forty-three points. Van Putten followed him closely with fifty-one from the field and twenty-three from the foul line, with a total of one hundred twenty-five points. Van Tongcren was next with thirty-eight points, T. Prins, Hopeâs star guard, with twenty-four, Voss with twenty-two, Ramaker with twenty-two, P. Prins with seventeen, and Heemstra with two. Wâe lament the loss of our two Senior forwards, who have won renown both for themselves and for their school through their fast and consistent playing. Hut what we have learned to expect from them, we are confident is also existent in our new generation of players, and so we look forward to the coming season with great anticipation for a most successful outcome.

Last year, teams representing our school participated in invitation meets held at M. A. C. and (hand Rapids, and ably upheld the reputation of the school. In the annual thirty mile relay race with (irand Rapids âY. Hope finished sec- ond live minutes behind the winners. The record for victories for the past eight years now stands four all. This year's team hopes to make an entry on the credit side of the ledger. On May 15, 1916, our team journeyed to Ml. Iâleasant for their first dual meet and took the teachers into camp with the overwhelming score of seventy- eight to fifteen. On the same day, our cross-country squad finished a strong second in the W estern Michigan Cross-Country Meet. In the annual Inter Class Field Meet held on the college athletic field, the Class of '17 for the third consecutive time carried off the victorâs shield by a narrow margin, the class of T9 being the runner-up. All the events w ill be duplicated this year, and negotiations are now pending for additional events. Prospects for a successful season are most encouraging. 103 BASEBALL TEAM Baseball Basketball is not the only sport in which Hope excels. She always turns out a good baseball team and this year is no exception. With seven of last yearâs men back, together with the usual promising material. Captain Yandcr Meet soon developed a team, which, although not the best in the State, has shown that we are not to be ridiculed when it comes to baseball. Last year, Hope won seven out of nine games played and although the schedule is short this year, due to unsettled conditions, she is expected to do still better.

Early in the morning, we see them coming to court, and there is always a racket after the ball. We hear them calling âfifteen-love,â even âthirty-love,â yes, âforty-love, for all love this delightful game. Its a âgame set that plays this game; a âdeuce of a game,â this love game. Tennis is being put on a par with other branches ot athletics. East spring, games were scheduled with Grand Kapids . M. C. A., each team claiming one victory. This year, plans are being made to arrange a schedule with other col- leges, thus placing Hope in direct competition with her sister colleges for the tennis championship of Michigan. Tournaments are held each spring to select the men to represent Hope on her tennis team, and in a few years Hope will hold her own in tennis as she does in other sports. 106 Zwiers Mokma Yntcma HurcgraafT W.irtishuis Schippcr Boone K loonier Preparatory Basketball Team The year 1916-1917 brought with it the first Preparatory Basketball Team. It was organized late in the season, so no games were played before the C hrist- mas vacation. Shortly after the holidays the faculty approved of the schedule as planned, and the team became an important factor in the activities of the Preparatory Department. Out of seven games played, live were won. the Preps scoring two hundred sixteen points and their opponents one hundred twenty eight. As the college has long looked to the Preparatory School for its basket ball material, it is imperative that this athletic infant be nourished by all stu- dents of I lope.

Ever since that small company of students gathered together in 1857 to found a literary society, its spirit has increased year by year. Xot a single season passes but the banner of Meli- phone has been carried forward. Many know of the society but few know of the real purpose of The Meliphone. The primal object of the society is to give its members the opportunity to improve in all literary activities. Kvery Friday night the Meliphonians gather to hear a program consisting of short orations, essays, stories, debates, and most instructive of all. short extemporaneous speeches. The society displays the re- sults of its efforts to the outside world at important functions. At the first, the Meliphone Banquet, the Meliphonians show their abilities along social lines. At the second, a large audience assembles to hear the best of the societyâs lit erary achievements. Thus does The Meliphone continue the molding of youth. Each year those who leave her are gladly received by the college, and later by the world.

First of all. What have I learned? Speaking of material things, it is quite natural that a good student should learn to repeat rules of grammar, spelling, and pronunciation, to learn that H.O is water, and that many French verbs are irregular. More than that, however, can be learned in the class room. I have learned that teachers and students are friends, with proper respect for each other's virtues and defects, and mutually beneficial. Students in college seem to have left childâs play behindâthat is, the majority of them. When graduating from secondary schools, students graduate into a different sphere of life, where work is earnest, difficulties are real, and play is only relaxation. Consequently, they take a deeper interest in study, realizing that it is time to prepare for the future. If they are restless, the instructors arc tolerant and sympathetic. I think it is because they have not forgotten that youth loves to play, that sunshine and balmy air lure away the most faithful hearts, with the call: âForget work and sorrow today. Throw off your burdens and play.ââ Yet. 1 have learned more of human strength and weakness outside the class- room than in it. It is in the home, in private life, that one secs the hearts of oneâs friends. T have seen many classes of people among college studentsâthe lazy and the industrious, the conscientious and the indifferent, the sympathetic and the intolerant, the social butterfly and the dignified scholar. Fach one 1 have talked with, sympathized with; I have tried to see past the surface and to know what the soul is worth. I am satisfied that there is much good in every one. The lazy like to be thought hard workers, the indifferent try to appear interested, the intolerant conceal their sneers, the butterflies always carry the most books. So also does the industrious student like to be thought indifferent, the conscientious student tries to appear careless, the sympathetic is shy and reticent, encased in armor. There are students with ideals and students with- out; but it seems that at Hope, those without ideals are hopelessly in the minor- ity. I have spoken with many on the purpose of life, and from future minister, missionary, and teacher comes the answer, To serve.â From outside reading my gain is not as great as it should be. Perhaps my greatest help from that source is an increased knowledge of short-story writing, and a more complete reading and writing vocabulary. I have learned to ap- preciate authors that I cared nothing about before. I am especially pleased with Kipling. He brings the charm of the Fast into my secluded, unadven- turous life. As he himself says in a poem to the natives of India: 119 I have written the talc of our life For a sheltered people's mirth. In jesting guiseâhut ye arc wise. And ye know what the jest is worth,â I feel that I. too, know what the jest is worth. 1 know a great deal more than 1 formerly did about the library and how to obtain the information that I seek. Until I did the work for English the first term, which made careful research necessary, 1 had never looked to the library for information, partly because I did not know how to search for what I needed. Now that ignorance is nullified, and I shall be forever thankful that a gateway to the world's greatest intellects is open to me. I have learned also the truth about Dutch patriotism. I had looked upon the descendants of the Dutch as cold and indifferent to their adopted country. Since I have been at Hope College, 1 have seen their unwavering loyalty and devotion. I. myself, take even a greater interest than before in affairs of gov- ernment; I understand better the patriotism, which may sleep but never dies; I have learned that Hopeites carry a higher ideal than nationality, and that is internationality. 1 wonder, sometimes, if my patriotism is of the wrong kind. Because it burns so hotly now, will it burn out the sooner and leave only ashes? Would it be better if it were of the other kind, a loyalty concealed and sacred, ready to flame only when needed, in order that it might then be stronger and brighter? I cannot answer yet. Another important thing I have become aware of is my gain in flexibility of mind. During the last three years, my mind has been sluggish, a result, probably, of physical conditions. Often, after an hour of study my head aches, my forehead is flushed, and my throat dry as with fever. This has often caused me to neglect study, but, as a rule, 1 conquer my weakness. This last fact shows that 1 can do more with my mind, because, formerly, 1 yielded to its slothful dictates and disregarded my obvious duties. The change shows, 1 hope, greater self-command. It is almost impossible, however, to acquire perfect self- control in six months. I consider my hardest test of listening attentively to a speaker was taken and successfully passed during the M. O. L. contest. 1 had been laboring under great excitement all week, until my nerves were almost uncontrollable. Yet I listened, without any outside indication of restlessness, to sixteen speakers dur- ing the afternoon and evening, and remembered, without taking notes, the sub- ject matter of each oration. I am sure that I could not have done that one year ago. I have also advanced in ability to concentrate my attention while studying or reading. 1 can sit down in a room where many people are talking, and. for- getting them entirely, transport my mind almost wherever 1 wish. In reading, writing, or studying I can pass the same test, no matter how difficult I may find the understanding of my appointed task. The only thing that arouses me is hearing my name, even though it be spoken in a whisper. At times I seem to have a double mind, listening and replying to whoever is talking to me, and at the same time reading and grasping the sense of what 1 read. It is perhaps only an occasional abnormality. I am certainly better able than before to follow the development of a plot, and to grasp more quickly the point of what I read. 120 I feel that I am much more capable than formerly of facing and analyzing difficult situations. 1 used to be irresponsible and untrustworthy in a task re- quiring patience, perseverance, and forethought. Xow I am trusted in every- thing. I no longer shirk responsibility which is placed on me by the will of others or through my own volition. Xot only do my parents impose hard tasks upon me, but they count on my help when there is trouble. When sudden fear or doubtful problems have confronted them, my friends and family have not scrupled to askâmy modest aid, and though, at times, I am as helpless as they, I have learned that they need at least my sympathy and silent hopefulness. Formerly I vacillated much between two opinions, when choice was nec- essary. I think, too, that T allowed myself to be influenced by the person who happened to be speaking with me, and the result was hopeless confusion and error. Xow I prefer to go away by myself and think things over until I reach a decision, by which I stand firmly afterward. I have not found it so very dif- ficult to subordinate prejudice for the purpose of cooperation, if 1 only try. Often 1m judgment i wrong, I know ; my prejudice may be, sometimes, crim- inal; but my desire to be just is usually stronger than my prejudice or my con- fidence in my own judgment. However, I seem to see my opinion more re- spected by others, and more readily listened to, as it becomes increasingly the result of deliberation. Deliberation has also made me more tolerant, although tolerance was al- ways impulsive and natural to me. Yet now I realize that others have preju- dices as well as I. that others may act on impulse as I have often done. 1 try not to be too hasty in condemnation, until I have learned all the facts from those most likely to know. The habit of acting on impulse is still strong in me. and it will be a long time perhaps the time will never come until I act entirely on reason. I have never found it very difficult to write clearly, but it used to be hard for me to express myself clearly in conversation. It always seemed that tongue and lips kept back the word that wanted to come. Xow, owing to more careful thought, and a larger vocabulary, also to strict attention to good use, that dif Acuity is gradually vanishing. 1 am entirely conscious of the weak points in my English. They arc chiefly a limited knowledge of the delicate shades of meaning in words, a fear of con versing in words from mv reading or writing vocabulary, and an inability to think connectedly. As to the first deficiency, my plan is to write down doubtful words as I meet them, and to look up one each day, using it as much as possible on that day. The second defect can be overcome only by long practice and con- tinual reassurance. In the case of the third, all that I can do is to avoid pres- sure of strong excitement, suppress exhaustive flights of fancy, and to regulate my thoughts. This is by no means easy, for my mind is naturally restless and turbulent. I am too temperamental, and my moodsâI confess to my shameâ are often abnormal and morbid. It is almost impossible for me to name the number of hours I have wasted. Often have I neglected study to follow my imagination on wild flights. Other times I have yielded to physical fatigue. Because I have not taken all neces- sary precautions to preserve my health, 1 have lost valuable hours of study. 121 On an average, about two hours a day have been wasted. This I know to be inexcusable, and I hope the time required for outside reading the last term will be of benefit to me. One new interest I have, which is paramount, at present, to all others. Oratory is an art at Hope, and 1 have become so enthusiastic about it that I have begun to sound my own powers of writing and delivering an oration. I should fail in delivery, and so I cannot look forward to joining the ranks of Hopeâs orators. This is practically the only new interest I have developed out- side the classroom. I belong to no society, and I have not joined the V. Y. C. A. because it would be impossible for me to attend the meetings at the hour they are held. In the classroom my greatest efforts are bent upon short-story writing. The fact that my desire to he an author has strengthened is due to the sympathetic encouragement 1 have received. 1 think that my instructor sounded the key- note of success when he said one day in the classroom, âLive intensely.â That is my desire. I would fill every moment to its utmost capacity, and extract from each moment all that it has to give. I would experience joy, love, hope, despair, pain, and sorrow. 1 want to see life, if 1 may, feel all human emotions, know how people live, work, and love; in short, I would read the great human heart that pulses warmly here below and its relation to God and man. I am not sure whether the spirit of Hope College has a complete hold on me, but I do know that it has exerted much influence over me. What is the spirit of Hope College? To me, it is made up of kindness and consideration for all, of beneficial companionship, of interest in one another and those outside, of de- sire to help the unfortunate, of high aspirations toward the best things life can offer, of application to hard study. Hope College spirit is beneficial, helpful, powerful, spiritual; it is a spirit of Hope and Love. It has taken mv heart and blended it with the hearts of others who feel Hopeâs true spirit, so that we arc all one, striving toward the same goal, fighting the same temptations, influenced by the same motives. What can 1 do for this college spirit in return for what it has done for me? Help it on! Pass on to others what it has given to me. Only thus can 1 show true appreciation and gratitude. 122 m Miss Van Drczcr C. Doskcr Kortcling (Art) (Art) (Subsc.) Miss Fortuinc Broekcma Miss Kortcring J. I)osk r Mis Danhof (Art) (Asst. Hits.

Kach member has done all in his power to make the Milestone of the Class of T8 a most hearty success. Mr. Van Z.x deserves especial mention because of his proficient work both as assistant sub- scription manager and later as subscription manager. Mr. Broekema also has labored untiringly and cheerfully to further the business interests of this an- nual. Jay Dosker, Korteling. (iilman. and BurggraafT have been valuable assets to our work. The artists. Miss Van Drezer, Miss Kortcring, Miss Danhof. Miss Fortuinc. C. Dosker. and Stegeman have all worked together to make their department the best. Again, we thank this staff for its cooperation and its un- swerving spirit of helpfulness. 124 !25 Post-Word And now, dear fellow-students, alumni, and friends of Mope College, we have come to another guide-postânot to the end of the road. We have attempted to show you in our own way what our school is doing. Undoubtedly you will observe the spirit which impels everything at 1 lope. âAn idea and an ideal is the characteristic motto of our Pantisocracy. We believe that life at Hope has never been more wholesome than it is at present, and it was very largely with that sentiment that we felt it incumbent upon ourselves to give to posterity The Milestone of the Class of 1918. The advisability of editing an annual has been questioned by several of our interested friends. After careful deliberation, however, we felt confident that The Milestone was one of the requisites of a complete college career. In pe- rusing this volume, you will undoubtedly find many points wherein our work might have been improved. W e offer no apologies or palliatives, but we hope that our successors may benefit by our short-comings. If we have succeeded in converting the thoughts of our alumni into a sublime reverie of their college life; if we have vividly portrayed, even in an epitome, the events of the school year; if we have made some sense the spirit of Hopeâ we shall be assured that our efforts have not been in vain. The Junior Class, as sponsor of The Milestone, desires to express her sincere appreciation to her fellow-students for their whole-hearted cooperation. We also desire to thank the advertisers who have, to a large extent, made pos- sible this publication. To the faculty, too, we feel indebted for its kindly in- terest and helpful counsel. We trust The Milestone of the Class of 1918 will afford you much profit and pleasure. The âMilestoneâ Staff OFFICERS James Muilknburg. . Walter A. Scholten Henry Hoeven...... Louise Brusse.... C.

The night had been wild and flabbergast- ing and for periods as long as five minutes these volunteers would forget the re- sponsibilities of the pending morrow. I'pon arrival at their abode a debate en- sued as to whether they should study im- mediately if not sooner, or whether they should wait until the sun made its debut in the east. The latter plan was adopted and the boys slept the sleep of the just until Old Ben emitted sound waves in their di- rection at 4:30 A. M. Lawrence Henry Dalman and Paul Frederick J.
