Foreword 'I he year 1917-1918 has been a very unusual year in the history of 1 lope Col- lege. W hile as many as possible of the regular college activities were carried on. the spirit which animated them all could not but he different from what it was in time of peace, when no disturbing element entered to distract our interest and divert our efforts. We are passing thru a world crisis, and how could we Ik unmoved when the deep significance of it was brot home to us continually by the departure of fellow-students and classmates, who left us to cast their lot with the champions of liberty and justice? The departure of these students has left great gaps in the ranks here at college, which those remaining have only partially succeeded in closing up. In spite of these broken ranks, however, the work of the college has progressed and we are nearing the completion of another successful year. In consideration of these facts it would indeed be lamentable were we to leave this year without a record and remembrance of what we have done.—of our work and our pleasures, our successes and our failures, our hopes and our achievements. It was for this reason, as well as to help make permanent the good precedent set by the two preceding classes, that the C lass of 1919 has issued this Milestone. The publishing of an annual this year was attended with peculiar difficulties, owing to the financial strain caused by the war. and the small number of the class that had to shoulder the undertaking. After a careful investigation, however, it appeared that these difficulties could Ik overcome, as indeed they were by the efficiency of our business department, and the willing aid of other classmen. The task was therefore begun and the realization of our plans is embodied in the edition now in your hands. The Milestone of 1918 represents the best efforts of all the members of the staff and those who assisted them. We sincerely hope that you will find in it not only a trustworthy account of the events of the year, but also a reflection of the Spirit of Hope, which lives among us and determines all our actions. We wish here to express our appreciation of the work of all the persons who con- tributed towards the degree of success which this book has attained. The work of Professor A. Raap and “Bud DeWolf. ’21. for the art department deserves special credit. All others of the auxiliary staff likewise did good service.

W'e look hack from things ended, to the beginning of our amazing career, and smile indulgently at the irresponsibility and the care-free days of our Freshman year. This page can not contain an adequate record of our deeds of valor and our intellectual triumphs. W’e can only mention our phenomenal work in the classroom. It was in our work, too, that we first became acquainted, scattering from Science to Latin and being gathered together again into the ever-hospitable English class room. And. once acquainted, we were always ready to leave the Campus and board the first car or the only boat, by couples and corporations, to spend a gay evening around a beach fire. All of our parties have been social successes, and meant wonderful times to every one of us. whether the “Cstick” or the skating floor furnished the setting. W’e have become good comrades as well as classmates. Hut the glories we have earned in every line of college activity, the honors we have won that give us reason to be proud, are the things that should make up the written history of the Class of 1918. In athletics we have been most successful, from the glorious day when the Sophomores waded across the river, until now,—even if we crossed the same river the next year, and came short of winning all the football honors. W’e excelled in basketball, always having a fast class team, and having several representatives helping to defend I lope’s honor on the varsity teams. Our record in debating and oratory is unrivaled. W'e have been represented in inter-collegiate debates since our Freshman year, and our orators have entered and won out in the Raven, Peace, and Prohibition contests. And this year, the crowning year of Hope’s oratorical successes, has brought a climax to all the past achievement, for it was our class that produced the two winning orators in the M. (). L. contest. Words fail to express the pride that we have in them. Time and history have changed our class from what it might have been. Our number has greatly decreased. From the time of the first call of our Country, men of 1918 have heard it and responded, and today our class has a score of loyal soldiers in the service, who are continually in our thots as Com- mencement days approach. There are many wonderful college experiences to relate, but if there is one thing that we feel, and want everyone to know that we feel, it is the Hope spirit which has grown up within us. W'e are glad that we know what it means to be sons and daughters of Hope. OFFICERS Harvey J. Ramaker...................................President James A.

During that whole autumnal morning one might have seen Freshmen, in number four-score and tour, from farm, village, and city, marching bravely, yet with cowed countenances, up the broad walk in front of M inants chapel and into the Admin- istration room, there to meet the stern and scholarly presence of our Registrar. After receiving our first baptism of knowledge, we proceeded to demonstrate to the upper class- men that there was such a thing as a Freshman Class, and to the Sophomores that the Freshmen were for prohibition—“no drink for us. W e lived up to our slogan, and not once did we humiliate ourselves to tread the muddy bed of Black River. F.ven the Invincible classes of Eighteen and Twenty, must admit that they have al- most invariably had to succumb to the prowess of the athletes of 1919. It is our firm con- viction that we arrived upon the scene in the nick of time, for no sooner were we here than we were called upon to furnish more than our share of men to uphold the honor of the Orange and Blue. One half of the All-Class football team, two members of the Var- sity basketball team, and practically the entire Reserve team, five baseball men, two-thirds of the tennis team, and the crack long-distance and short-distance runners of the college, were furnished by the Freshmen. Continuing the record in our Sophomore year, we had to our credit two-thirds of the baseball team, one-half of the track team, one-halt of the basketball team, and three-fourths of the reserves, and class championship in every game played on the campus. Our greatest claim to fame, however, was pep. If there were any lost Freshics, if the president of another class was tied up and brot out on the basket-ball Moor during a class game, if there were any smudges started in VanVlcck, if Instructor Tillema's pajamas were missing, or a terrific explosion disturbed the midnight slumber of the town, the whole trouble was immediately laid at the door of this notorious class. But, altho athletics and “spirit were our strongholds, history shows that we also held our own in every other branch of college activities,—forensic, musical, literary, and religious. And now, from a class of eighty-four, we have decreased to a mere handful. Altho some of our classmates were falling from our roll thru mental inaptitude, connubial pit- falls, and pecuniary aspirations, our greatest reduction in numbers was occasioned when, upon our country’s entrance into the war, our men were filled with the Spirit of ’17. The championships which formerly were ours have gone to other classes, but the greater honor is due to the class of 1919, because forty per cent of the stars on Hope’s Service Hag represents Junior men. Handicapped by the loss of some of our best material, we have showed that we have a spirit that never says. Die. By uniting our efforts we have continued to Carry On for Old Hope, and as a last achievement, have produced this Milestone to show that we are not all dead yet. OFFICERS Clarence R.

She had no weak and impotent childhood, but at her very advent appeared with the strength and beauty and wisdom of maturity. Such was the debut of the wonderful class of 1 - 20 on the Campus of Hope College. Theirs was no credulous and verdant Freslunanhood, but from the start they displayed dignity and refinement and marked talent along all lines of student activity. To show you that this is no idle lx ast, we refer you to our records in scholarship, forensics, and athletics. The college authorities declare that this class has maintained a scholarship average higher than that of any class for many years. Already in the Freshman year, one of the members of this class won state honors in the Ladies' M. O. L. contest. Another member won a place on the college debating teams. That our forensic career is only just begun is attested by the fact that eight men are planning to compete in the Raven ( hatorical Contest this year. As Freshmen we contributed our full quota of men to every department of college athletics. 'This year we placed four men on the football eleven, two men on the first basketball team, and four on the second. The Sophomores appearing for baseball practice far outnumber the other classmen. At a time when the World War is foremost in the minds of every one. it is not amiss to state that the Class of 1P20 sent the first I lopeite into the trenches in France. Several of our men are already in service and many more are awaiting the call or the opportunity to enlist. The time is soon coming when we must relinquish the title of Sophomores, but we shall always remain the invincible Class of P’20. OFFICERS Evert R.

After the first curious inspection, the opinion of the older students was unanimous that, as a class, these sixty-seven Freshmen were as green and unlikely looking a lot as ever disgraced a hall of learning. When, however, the first timidity had worn off and they began to show signs of life and intelligence, faculty and students alike decided that the infant Class of ’21 was as promising as any Freshman Class that they could recall, always excepting, of course, each one’s own class. This latter opinion still prevails. It required hut little time for the members to develop interest in college activities, and soon they were enthusi- astic and eager to take their part. It pleased the Fates that they should lose their first collegiate contest, the tug-of-war across Black River, hut their spirit was undaunted. They showed themselves good fighters and game losers. After their baptism in these dark and frigid waters, the Freshmen realized that they were really a part of Hope and set to work to make themselves good Hopeites. In all their activities they have displayed a loyalty to class and school that is hound to carry them to success in whatever they undertake. Their reputation as fighters has been maintained, hut they have not always been game losers, because once in a while they come out ahead and show that they can also he generous victors. It is still too early to predict much in regard to the future of the Class of '21, but we trust that they will continue as they have begun, and will lx- a credit to I lope.

It has been an eventful year and one of marked advancement along all of the sides of the Knickerbocker Triangle—Social, Moral and Intellectual. The old spirit of fellowship has permeated every meeting and inspired the members to make every meeting the best possible. Each program has been enriched by scien- tific. forensic, literary, and humorous numbers, and a quartette, a stringed orchestra, and two fine pianists have furnished excellent musical numbers. The outstanding big events” of the year have been the purchase of a Liberty Bond and the dedication of a service tlag honored with twenty-five stars. Father Knickerlxjcker is well pleased to know that, despite the difficulties and discourage- ments of war conditions, his faithful followers are able not only to hold their own. but to advance the standards of Knickerbockerism into new fields of service.

The member- ship is necessarily limited to the advanced science students and the heads of the science departments of the college. Very much enjoyment, as well as practical know.edge, is derived from the bi-week’y meetings held during the school year. A greater interest in science and the furtherance of scientific research is the aim of the or- anizaticn. hrom time to time reports of such research work are rear! before the members.

Association activities necessarily have assumed a more or less martial character and include the conducting of Right Week Clubs during the summer months, which spread the Hope spirit to more than ninety girls in various parts of Michigan, Illinois, and Iowa: the maintenance of a regular system of correspondence connecting Hope men in khaki with their Alma Mater ; and very successful compaigns for the Student Friendship Fund and Christian World Democracy. Our regular Thursday afternoon meetings have proven even more inspirational this year, not only because of increased numbers, but also because of a larger desire for a deepened spiritual life.

Practically every missionary clime has at least one. perhaps a dozen, 1 lopeites working among its people. “To know Christ and to make Him known to the world lias been, and still is, the motto of Hope. This motto the Volunteer Hand has adopted in a special way. I 'very Friday evening this little Hand comes together and holds an inspirational meeting, where testimony and prayer are offered. It is here that the home fires” are kept burning and an enthusiasm for missions is gen- erated that will not allow the “Spirit of Hope,’ —the spirit of The World for Christ,”—to die out. In less than a year a score of members have left us and arc now engaged in missionary work of some form or other. One is today upon the missionary fields of the Reformed Church in India, and her lovely Christian character is wielding its silent but potent influence among the natives there. Furthermore, we have our representatives in the army of the United States. Time and again letters come to us telling how the Volunteer boys are holding true to their old purpose. Altho they arc not engaged in foreign missionary work, they are seizing every opportunity to speak a word for the Master. While serving in the army of their country they are not forgetting that they are volunteers in the army of the Lord. They are proving themselves real Soldiers of the Cross.” In spite of this continual drain upon our numbers, making impossible a remarkable growth in the size of the Rand, this year has seen a steady advance in many ways. Not numbers, but devotion and consecration are the things that count, and with every member possessed of an abundance of these qualities, we are confident that the work of the Master will not suffer, but will continue to press on irresistably, inevitably, until the goal is reached.

For a number of years the women of Hope have taken second place. This year, however, all previous records were surpassed, when both of our orators were awarded the Walter A. Schoi.tkn First place Men’s Contest, M. O. L. 1918 medal of victory. IJefore March 8, 1918, it was an unknown occurrence for a single college to usurp all honors at the M. ( ). L. contests, and. altho these were the only state contests held this year, we are satisfied with the laurels we have won, and satisfied also that our leadership in the field of oratory remains unchal- lenged. The contests this year were held at Kalamazoo, enabling a large number of Hopeites to accompany the speakers and help to win the victories. Miss Ger- 62 trude Sclumrman. 'IX, our representative in the Ladies' Contest, in her oration, I nto the I-east of fhese, presented in a manner at once pleasing and forceful, an appeal for the children of war-ridden Roumania. which struck a chord of universal sympathy and irresistably gripped her audience.

I he phenomenal success in public speaking, which Hope has so long enjoyed, is due chiefly to two factors: the deep interest which the students take in this work, and the superior coaching of Professor I. lb Xykerk. The importance of these assets cannot be estimated too highly, and. continuing to possess them, there is no reason to doubt that I lope will continue to excel in forensic art. 63 ai.tkr A.

Department of Violin Stanley Deacon Department of Voice Music Teachers -Musical instruction is given at Hope by the best teachers obtainable. Mr. ( scar Cress, the teacher in piano, is a graduate of the American Conservatory of .Music of Chicago. After his graduation he went abroad and became the pupil ot the ce'ebrated Theodore Leschetizky. While in Vienna. Mr. Cress also studied harmony and counterpoint with Carl' Ptlege. Mr. Cress' department here has flourished greatly and many students are enjoying the advantage of his instruc- tion. oicc C ulture is another prominent branch of musical training under the able direction of Mr. Stanley Deacon. Mr. Deacon began his piano study at the early age of six years with Mr. Kitner Thouns. Later he went to the illustrious Italian master, Lduardo Sacerdote, now of the Chicago Musical Conservatory, with whom he is still studying. The fact that he is a member of the faculty of the Chicago Musical College affiliates the voice department of our school with that great institution. Hope has been very fortunate this year in having as a member of its faculty Professor Pruno Meinecke. who is also connected with the School of Music as instructor in violin. Professor Meinecke began his study under his father, who had been trained in (Icrmany as a concert violinist by his grandfather, a pupil of the great Herman artist, Ludwig Spohr. He later studied with Henri Km. the noted Swiss violinist. Professor Meinecke is widely known as a concert violinist and is also an orchestra director with extensive knowledge and experience.

Con- fronted with the horror of having to wear these tell-tale green stockings for the third time, the eldest of the Kara day sisters throws a bomb into the family group by announcing her engagement to a certain Colonel Smith, who is merely a fictitious character. A letter is written.—her first love letter—is addressed, and is accidentally delivered to a real Colonel Smith, an officer in Somaliland, Africa. Eight months later a death notice is inserted in the Times” by Celia and her confidante, Aunt Ida. While the rest of the family do their utmost to console the bereaved fiancee, the two plotters have a merry time. Since her engagement, everyone has gradually come to the realization that “poor old Celia” is not so old and unattractive after all. and many who before shunned her. now seek her company. The same day upon which tile death notice appears in the paper, a Colonel Smith,—the Smith who received the letter, comes to the Faraday home under the name of Colonel Vavasour. He says he is a friend of Colonel Smith and has come with a last message from him. From “the much younger sister,” Phyllis, he learns “how the lovers met” and how they became engaged.” The elder sister is strangely disturbed when she first meets the so-called Vavasour, but after lengthy discussions and numerous explanations, the hero proclaims himself the real Colonel Smith and convinces Celia that she will not have to wear another pair of green stockings after all.

Oeegh, ’20.........................Secretary-Treasurer Hope College Lecture Course Just a score of years ago there was conceived in the fertile brain of our Professor of English a plan whereby he might raise Hope’s department of English from the position of obscurity which it had hitherto enjoyed, and give it a place of prominence among the contemporary English departments of other state colleges. This plan matured and took the form of the Hope College Lecture Course, an organization which has since proved a source of great profit and prestige to the college. The organization was effected in 1898 and the success which it has achieved may he ascribed chiefly to the efforts of Professor Xykerk, who has given all his time and services in this work gratuitously, all the profits accruing being turned over to the use of the college. The original purpose of the course lias been accomplished, in that over three thousand books have been added to the college library, giving Hope the best working English library of any denominational college in the state. W ith the remaining proceeds of the course two concert grand pianos have been purchased, the stage of Carnegie Hall has been improved, and a stereopticon and a refiectoscope have been purchased fot the use of the department of science. In 1911, the management of the lecture course, with the assistance of the college V. M. and Y. Y. C. A., conceived the idea of starting a fund for the erection of a city Y. M. C. A. building. The money was placed in the hirst State Bank and has by this time increased to $538. As a means of instruction and entertainment, the lecture course has long since grown to be considered as an important factor in the college. Many of the country's greatest orators have spoken here, among whom appear such names as William Jennings Bryan, John Temple Craves. Henry Watterson, Senator Cum- mins. Dr. Cadman, Dr. Hillis, and Mrs. Philip Snowden and Maud Ballington Booth of England. A few of the famous readers who have appeared on Hope's platform are Madame Harriet I abadic, Leland Powers, and George Riddle of Boston. The Ben Greet players have been seen here twice—in 1912 in The Comedy of Errors,” and again this year. Many of the country’s foremost artists in violin and piano, and several grand opera singers have given concerts here, and under its auspices several oratorios have been rendered by local talent, assisted by foreign artists. In spite of various difficulties, the Lecture Course this year has been a com- plete success, and the artists who have appeared have upheld the high standards of excellency established bv their predecessors. The Ben Greet Players, in their presentation of Gilbert’s comedy, “The Palace of Truth, showed themselves worthy of the reputation which they have achieved. In the second number of the course. Leon Sainetini, the great Dutch violinist, ably assisted by Miss Edna K cl log of Chicago and Mr. Stanley Deacon also of Chicago, appeared in a concert of great excellence, and proved his right to be classed among the foremost virtuosos of the day. The remaining number of the course. Helen Stone Torger- son and Company, will be presented in the near future. Miss Torgerson, harpist, will be assisted by violin, cello, and flute, and by Miss Bertha Clay Cole, reader. Much of the success of the course this year has been due to the work of the business manager. Mvron Boekema. '20. and to his assistant. David Ilcusink veld.

After two and one-half years of exile, the col- lege council, last June, by a vote of nine to eight, restored the royal game to its rightful place on the campus. Altho it is the king of athletic sports, it cannot replace basketball at Hope until we have a coach. This was clearly demonstrated this year. With but a few men who had ever donned the moleskins, Hope tried to put a team upon the gridiron, but it was soon learned that the old football warriors of the by-gone class games were now Uncle Sam’s warriors. So the achievements of the season of 1917 were in large part merely pre- liminary to the successes which are bound to follow in future years. The class contests aroused much interest in the grand old game, the Class of 1918 finally winning the championship. We feel assured that, ere long, Hope will rise to the exalted position she once held when the game was given free course. Basketball As the curtain rose to usher in the 1917-18 basketball season, Hope saw her- self face to face with a doleful situation. Four men who would have defended the Orange and Blue enlisted in a bigger game, carrying before them the Red, White, and Blue. However, under the snappy coaching of “Stogie,” the all-state center of a few years past, Hope has gone “over the top” and often made “good Germans” of her opponents. To Coach Stegenga is due the highest praise for whipping to- gether a machine such as he did. With one regular, Ramaker, to build a team around, “Stog succeeded in sending one of the fastest teams in Michigan against all comers. The team was severely handicapped at times when practice was most needed, by being unable to use the gym on account of the fuel shortage. This embarrass- ment was aggravated by the unusual stress of the present day. Nevertheless, under this barrage, each player worked untiringly and went into the fray with the utmost determination—the fight-all-the-way spirit the spirit that wins games. The season opened with a slaughter,—Calvin College being the victim. Later M. A. C. was decisively defeated at home. Again, the Kazoo Normals, one of Michigan's strongest teams, were defeated on their home floor. Also, the Hol- land “Y” was handily put down in their cry for City championship. Then came the grand wind-up,—the defeat of Kalamazoo College, the team that shared the M. I. A. A. championship with Alma and Adrian. The only mar was the two losses at the hands of Hope’s old jinx, the Grand Rapids “Y. Teams that doubled Grand Rapids’ score were beaten by Hope. An added feature was a game at Ann Arbor with the U. of M., who have broken into the caging game. With this record Hope is truly proud, and ours is a rightful claim to the intercollegiate championship of Michigan. AT HOME ABROAD Calvin 10 . .

The first call for volunteers to fill the ranks of the regular army, when as yet no plan for raising our new army had been formulated, was answered most readily by college men. The President’s war message had scarcely been uttered, and the resolution of Congress had hardly been passed, when, throughout the country, students at colleges and universities,—men with high am- bitions and definite purposes in life men with dreams of the future, began to lay aside their pleasant tasks, banish their fond hopes, and offer themselves to the service of Country, and Humanity, and Mod. Among the foremost of these were men of Hope. Since then the call has continued to come from every branch of the service, and the men have continued to go. We owe it to the wise method adopted by Uncle Sam to select the men for his army, that we have any left at school; for, were the country dependent upon volunteers to defend it, 1 lope College would be as destitute of men as are the colleges of England and of Eranee. While several stu- dents were selected by conscription, many more were left who were content to re- main only in the full assurance that, when needed to fight, they would be called. Most of the men who have left I lope, however, have volunteered, each where he considered his services most valuable, not to Uncle Sam alone, but to his comrades in arms as well, for it was partly for the good they might do in the army by the example of their Christian lives that many Hopeites enlisted. Theirs was no mad rush for glory; neither did they go in eager quest of adventure. Theirs was a deliberate action—a conscientious heeding of the clear call of duty. Fifty-eight is the number of soldiers that have gone from the halls of Hope College. We miss them sorely. We miss their friendly companionship; we miss their capable leadership; we miss their loyal support of all our activities. But we are proud of every one of them. They have distinguished themselves and their Alma Mater. Many of them have already risen above the ranks, but, more than the promotions they have won, it is their steadfast adherence to the Ideals of Hope that makes us proud of the Hopeites in khaki. Not one of them has been recreant to these ideals; not one has abandoned the course upon which he set out. All have shown that they arc not only men of courage, but men of char- acter as well. Their record is perfect, and we know that it will remain perfect, for the Spirit of I lope is master of their lives. 99 100 Extracts From the Diary of a Hopeite-to-be Metropolis, North Dak. August 12. It is my birthday today. I am 17 years old. Ma gave me two new celluloid collars and pa promised that if harvesting was early this year I could go to Hope College. Dominie came over to-night and talked to pa. Dominic graduated in '82 and he says Hope College is the best Christian institution in the world. I can hardly believe that I am going to such a great school. Dominie says the houses of the school are in a kind of woods. He says he ain’t been there since he graduated but he guesses it is much the same as always. I hope there is a path thru the woods so I can ride my bicycle. August 15. We have been awful busy shocking barley since my birthday. Da says I can go to college now for sure. He says he knows I will be a great dominie some day yet. I let him read this book once. lie says my writing is wonderful and that I have some thoughts that nobody else ever had before. He is sure 1 am a genius. I think so too and I’m afraid T will be too high for my class in college. August 28. It is fierce hot tonight but 1 must write. Maggie didn't want to go buggy riding after church. She went with Gcrrit. She don’t know what a great man I will be some day. A book agent told me once when I told him I kept a journal that it was a sure sign of literary ability. It sounds swell and I know he is right. M e gave a Christmas entertainment in our church last year and they said I done my part best. Dominic said then that if Professor Nykerk could have heard me he would know right away that I was an orator. August 24. We had thrashers today else pa and me would have went to the city. My Sunday suit is good yet, but Ma says I must have a new one for Sun- days and wear my old one for days. Pa always buys good suits. I want a brown checked one. I will buy it plenty big so there will always be room. August 27. Pa and me went to Velderman’s place and thrashed. 1 like Dcnic and she likes me too. August 28. No thrashing today so pa and me went to the city. Pa bought me some shoes and a suit. Shoes arc fierce expensive but the man what sold us the suit tried a swell pair of tan pants on me. 1 thought I could wear them with the blue coat of my day's suit when I study. September 1. Uncle Corned is going to take us to the train in his Ford auto- mobile. Pa is going to go along to Prune Center. I never been overnight on the train. I wish Pa was going along to Michigan. 101 September 6. I am in Holland, Michigan. I liked the trip good. The nigger who owned the train thought I didn't know much. He tried to take my shoes, but I didn't let him. September 7. 1 met another boy. He told me where I could board and he took me to his room. He was a very wicked boy, I guess. He had a picture of the devil above his bed and he sang a song about “One keg of beer for the four of us.” but I didn’t say nothing. He will be sent home, I bet. September 8. College opened this morning. Somebody said they went to chapel. I guess I did too, but 1 didn’t get in the right room. I came there at about 7 o’clock and a boy asked me if I was going to Hope College. I said yes and he took me to a room with long tables and papers and books. He went away after awhile and I never saw him again. I sat and read the “Leader” all morning. 1 didn't see any Professor but I guess there must be some somewhere. This P. M. I read my letter from Ma and Pa. Dominie wrote me too. He said not to be homesick. September 9. 1 met Herman Deunkerk from Prune Center. He took me to recite with him. He says that Friday the boys like me and him have to pull some other boys through a river. 1 pulled our cow out once when she got stuck in a sink hole so I aint scared. I'm glad Ma put my overalls in my satchel. 102 A Hopeite-that-was (Four years later.) March 4. I signed my last registration card this morning. It surely is tough to make a fellow ‘‘bone” during his last spring term—the only chance left to allow “his fancies to turn” to work, of course. March 5. Hoarded the 5:15 for a spread at TeRoller’s cottage. Some bunch, some eats; but oh, that girl of mine! She surely had ’em all beat hollow, even if she is only a Freshman. Mow I hate to think of next year without those chummy chats with her. Gee! she’s a good scout, too. Funny how serious a Senior begins to feel. I always thought it was beyond me, but I too seem to be falling. It was late and, as fate decreed, the “Dorm” was locked. With the spirit of those who hope for the best, prepare for the worst and stand ready to take what comes, we strolled around the block to prepare for the ordeal of ringing the bell. With the courage of a Spartan I was about to do the deed, when she called me back, saying she could not face the Dean after the episode of a couple of nights ago and that she preferred to stay with one of the town girls. Blame it—just my luck—she chose that Senior girl to whom I had sworn the night before that 1 wouldn’t take another Freshman girl out this year. I’ve lived through this much, but the worst is yet to come. She'll make it hot for me. March 10. Got a letter from Dad today. Mother and he may probably come down for Commencement. Won’t they think I’ve changed some, though. Joy. Oh Boy! Some Rube from Rubeville I must have been when I blew in. I was so green it's a wonder the ponies on the campus didn’t take me for grass. Oh well, never mind. Metropolis, North Dakota, will Ik proud enough to own a col- lege-bred man some day. (Blank it, if that isn’t better than war bread!) March 15. Chances arc that my chances are sort of slim of passing Ed. this term since I’ve missed several trips to the “Seashore” and have neglected to hear what Colvin has to say on the subject. I’m pretty sure a flunk is laid up for me. Today I simply couldn’t help it with that banquet ahead. The decorating had to be done and of course, they always do shove everything off on us Seniors. Got to give a toast, too. Awful glad I decided to take that Junior girl. Seems to me I’ve been floating around with girls from every class in the college. Some class to me. That check Dad sent just came in the nick of time. Dear Dad! 11c knew I wanted to send flowers to her. Some scrap about those blasted blooms, but then no party would be complete without some sort of a quibble. March 16. Two bells A. M. Tired, but oh so happy. Decorations, music, eats, toasts, flowers, candle-light and girls in fluffy party dresses—it all seems like a dream but believe me the one thing that T do know is that I had the best looker in the bunch. March 20. O, that was a narrow escape—nearly got my walking papers to- day. Dynamite sure is rough stuff. It gave Old VanYleck a good rock-a-bve and broke several of Carnegie’s lamps. We simply had to do something to bust the monotony. They say it nearly put Fresh Flighty out of business. He can thank his lucky stars he took so much time bidding those fond farewells, or they might have been his last ones. Me came within an ace of going up 103 with the noise. Lucky for us Jack’s Pa is on the council. Saved again. Oh, those dynamite thrills! The suspense is awful! April 10. Just got in from a fare-thee-well for one of the soldiers. We topped it off with a little toot down the country road. The night was wonder- ful, but there was neither wind nor water. Fish poles and rain barrels were plentiful. Yc learned a new song entitled “Carry me back to Old Virginia”— Xo encores called for. June 5. Commencement night. Xight of nights. Mortar boards are worse by far than hard-boiled hats. That tassel made me crazy. Nearly took a header down the aisle too. Almost lost my hands in the intricate superfluity of black robe. Feel sort of sheepish. Probably it’s because I’ve got my sheepskin, or maybe it’s because I’m leaving the fold. No more burning of midnight oil for mine. I’d rather sit in the dark. A few things I have learned since I left my happy home four years ago: 1. Don’t spout too freely. There are times when it is advisable to keep the door closed that leads to your dome of thought. 2. Paddle your own canoe (to get a “Fair View”) and take it from your Uncle Josh. 3. Learn from “Experience.” June 15. We’ve had our one last blow out (not a puncture either). It lasted a week. House parties are my idea of a gay time. The chaps were dandy sports. hen de vind blows in de spring time And flowers bloom in de valley green, Den Mac’s de place for me and mine; Makes you feel like a king and queen. Salt and pep floats all around. It's at college parties, spice is found, “Git her” music and grate fire scenes; Them’s the times you rack your beans To think of funny things to say, Or make her think things in your way. Davenports and porch swings in cahoots Perform such wondrous changes In your heart strings and your boots. Keep your head, is my fair warning, Since you can’t control your heart. Life is real and life is earnest: Clear the track for Cupid’s dart.

KM 105 106 Mope College Preparatory School Welcome “Preps!” Hope’s Preparatory School is as necessary and as vital a part of the institu- tion as the college department i ! Why? Because a large number of the stu- dents in the college is directly supplied by the Preparatory School. “Preps are always considered as the next generation of college students. Is it any wonder, then, that they are carefully fostered and thoughtfully taken care of by their elders? At that stage of their educational advancement, when mind and heart are most impressionable, when character is forming, when plans for their future are taking shape, boys and girls require the personal supervision, the inspiration and stimulus which the upper classmen and the faculty provide. They are urged and advised to join the Young Women’s and Young Men’s Christian Associa- tions, and in these meetings their spiritual life is deepened and plans for future service are being moulded. Interest in oratory, too, is stimulated while the students are still in “Prep.” Several of Mope’s winning orators were also graduates of her Preparatory School. I low can they help being interested when prizes are offered those stu- dents delivering the best orations in a public oratorical contest, when they actively participate in the (llory Day exercises, and when they attend the mass meetings where the orators, their friends and helpmates, practice their forensics? In every way the standard of scholarship is maintained in the Preparatory School. Students are under the supervision of the Committee on Student Direc- tion, which helps them to choose their courses of study. They are not allowed to take more work than their time and ability permit. Great care is bestowed upon their development as individuals, but no set ideals are placed before them into which they are compelled to cramp themselves, regardless of their capacities and wishes. There is a wide range of social activities in all the aspects of stu- dent life, and the faculty seeks to assist in the social development of the pupils. Then, they have their literary societies, their private entertainments, and the advantages of a splendid lecture course. Private work in elocution and music is also offered. The Preparatory Department, however, not only seeks to prepare for en- trance into college or other professional schools, but it also aims for prepared ness in “life’s school. for commercial, industrial, social, and home life in a country of democratic institutions. 107 Preparatory School Roll “A” Arink, Harold Gordon Boi.ks, Stanley Buchanan, Fllace Earline Burgoraaff, Win field I'Okkert, Marvin James Hoffman.

It was then composed of College Department students as well as those of the Preparatory School. When the increasing number of women justified the organization of a second society, Minerva became the organ of the Preparatory Department alone. At present its membership consists of twenty- two girls who meet every Friday night in their society room in Voorhees Hall, where programs are rendered which aim at the literary, musical, and social de- velopment of its members. Many of the girls in the college societies remember with gratitude the help which the Minerva Society gave them in their Preparatory days. OFFICERS Ruth Broekema, T9..

We have been playfully called the Western “Cemetery,” but we claim no points in common with the denizens of the extreme east end of Sixteenth Street. Our slightly advanced age and our partial separation from the college prevent us from making a display of our enthusiasm in the usual ways, but our enthusiasm is a positive force nevertheless. We arc deeply interested in “Old Hope,” be- cause most of us claim her as our Alma Mater. We rejoice when victories are won, and we put on sackcloth and ashes when a defeat is sustained. But we are mostly interested in her students because it is from their number that our numbers must be recruited. Many of the boys who intended to come to the Seminary have answered the call of their country, but we urge those who look forward to a Seminary training not to give up their aims lightly, because the government itself testifies to the importance of the call of the Church of Christ by exempting divinity students from military service. Our Seminary prepares her students for a big job and does it effectively. 115 RKY. JOHX E. KITZEXGA. D. D. Secretary Professor of Practical Theology KEY. EYART J BI.EKKIXK. I). D.
