's aan X3 j ' yyyyxY) Jr MILESTONE 1925 The Milestone 19 2 5 PUBLISHED ANNUALLY by the JUNIOR CLASS °f HOPE COLLEGE 'vrpworc - 9 In the past few years, the horizon of Hope College has bi'oadened; new fields of service have been opened to Hope students. Along with this change has come a great increase in numbers and the accompanying difficulties of assimilation. 9 Io meet this need, the Milestone has tried to offer in a proper way an em- bodiment of the “Spirit of Hope,” in addition to its prime purpose as a record, so that more may become ac- quainted with that compelling ideal of Hope. (Contents DEDICATION THE COLLEGE THE CLASSES ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS LITERATURE SOCIETIES PREPARATORY SEMINARY ROASTS u icanon To Professor Albert E. Lampen, Who, as Mathematics Professor, has in the past seven years brought honor to his Alma Mater thru a fervent idealism and unquenchable ardor, combined with able scholarship. Who has displayed those rare qualities of friendship in which kindness and helpfulness are set before selfish interests. Who has given us a splendid example of Christian manhood in every walk of life which merits respect and praise. The Junior Class dedicates the 1925 Milestone. The Orange and Blue Proudly we wave Hope’s banner. Orange and Blue; To her lair, shining symbols we’ll e’er be true; Orange for royalty, blue for true loyalty, Fling out our banner free! And sing out anew:— CHORUS:— Orange and Blue! To them we’ll e’er be true! We’ll keep them flying, forever flying. Together cheer and shout! (Yea Hopeitcs). Orange and Blue! Raise the song anew! We’ll ever bail our glorious ()range and Blue! Like her we show the ()range, proud let us be. Children of Alma Mater, Royal arc we. Blue is the trust of youth, honor, and love and truth, So let us wear them both, that all men may see:— Of life’s unfolding pathway, little we know, Yet, over all the journey Hope’s light shall glow. When sinks the closing day. over the fading way. When we shall sec its ray, fair glory bestow.

To he thrust out into the cold world from under the protecting wing of our Alma Mater is hard; the thought of breaking our finest and best friendships and associations that have made the college seem like home to us brings with it a feeling of sadness, hut there is joy in the anticipation that we are going out as messengers of I lope. And so. although there is sadness at parting, there is gladness at the idea of service and there is joy in the thought that, after all. we will never cease to he I lopeites.

To the indomitable leaders of idealism do we pledge our efforts. I'he Juniors, everyone of them, are loyal Hopeites. The Juniors on the athletic teams, the forensic teams, in fact in whatever branch we take part, give the best for the best. This undying spirit is an influence toward reaching our goal. But perhaps the most vital factor in our future success is that “spirit of Hope which is even superior to the strong '‘spirit of '26 . May it be our aim always, to do the bigger, better things for Hope and make Hope bigger and better.

Its members have enthusiastically taken part in all the school activities and in every way have showed themselves to be true Hopeites. not only in their endeavor to gain for themselves that learn- ing. refinement and culture which a college offers, but also in their readiness to do what they can for Hope. Their loyalty to Hope and their love for her are continually increasing. The victory in the “tug” at the beginning of the year showed that class spirit and co-operation which were to be seen throughout the entire year. The class has been very active in the past two years but promises to do even more in the remaining two years at Hope. “Animosus” is its watchword! First Semester Theodore Lrun:ns.......

Our aim is to make it not only the largest in numbers hut also first in scholarship, athletics and all the other activities dear to the heart of the college student. It is true our lofty ambitions were a little dampened by the cold “duck- ing” we received at the beginning of the school year. But we have agreed to con- sider this a part of our initiation into the college realm and we look forward to bequeathing it to our successors along with the little green caps and ribbons. As the time spent within the college walls grows longer, may the Freshman class grow in spirit and enthusiasm: may it ever be true to the time-honored standards and ideals; may it ever proudly wave Hope’s banner, “the Orange and Blue”.

It is in response to this inclination that the Student Council came into existence. The Council seeks primarily to create and maintain that good feeling between the classes which makes the student body a unit and does not allow factions to exist. In sjxmsoring the Honor Code it has, in the face of opposition, stood for the traditions of the Hope student body as expressed in its actions during the past few years; the Code has proven effective again this year. In an attempt to regulate the number of offices any individual student shall hold, the Council has instituted the Point System, which serves to distribute the honors as well as the work among a greater number of students than heretofore. The Student Council wishes to express its appreciation for the co-operation of the student body in its efforts to uphold the traditions of Mope.

M. C. A. The N . M. C. A. at Hope is not only one of the olde t organizations on the campus, hut it lias grown in recent years to he the largest and mo t representative body of Hope men. Every Tuesday evening men of every phase of campus activ- ity meet for an hour of devotion, prayer and good fellowship. I lere is where i lope men meet on common ground. The same glad hand to welcome one another, the same purpose in mind and the prayers and co-operation of fellow “Y” men arc great incentives to try harder to live up to the motto: “To make Jesus Christ the King of Our Campus.” The influence of the “Y” i felt not only upon the campus hut it is carried out to the five Sunday Schools with the help of the Y. Y. C. A. Then too. Gospel reams arc sent out week-ends and during vacation periods. 'This year eight men were called to lead discussion groups at the State Older I toys Conference at Muskegon. W ith the support of the Y. W. C. A., the Faculty, and the Student Body, the ”Y” has every year worked toward the endowment fund for the salary of the Hope High School principal at Madanapelle, India. The Annual Week of Prayer was in charge of Dr. S. I). Gordon of “Quiet Talk” fame. The Cabinet of the Y.” consisting of thirteen men. meets every Monday evening to discuss campus problems and to carry on the business of the Associa- tion. Largely thru the prayers and consecrated efforts of these Cabinet men has the Association been able to houlder its burden by permeating the group with the spirit of good fellowship and brotherhood which we feel on the campus today.

To those who know and love our Y. it represents a phase of our student activities that is indispensable to the highest development of life and character. As students we are endeavoring to find and fill our place in the world, realizing that to live a life truly Christian in a world such as ours, we must renew our grip upon realities, and seek, each for herself, the meaning and source of all living. The Y. V. C. A. seeks to cultivate within every girl on the campus, such an ideal of life. It seeks to help each girl realize her possibilities: to encourage friendship and better social relationships; to teach the sacredness and joy of living: to inspire to a life of fellowship with Christ. 'I he six gospel teams that have gone out this year have tried to share some of this spirit of “Y with other girls. The results of this new venture on the part of our organization have been most happy. Who of us can give a just estimate of the worth of “Y”? Can we measure the silent influence of our happy hours of fellowship, and song and prayer? Can we express adequately the worth of the friendship touch with all the girls on our campus that “Y ’ has afforded? And who of its can ever forget the blessed ex- periences of Prayer Week? The hallowed joy of it is with us still, and will be always. Then, too, as members of our local Y. W. C. A. we arc a part of a world organization. We arc among the Youth of the world—Youth with all the ardor of its enthusiasm, the eagerness of its hope, the glory of its dreams. Page EightytUree WOMENS COSPEI.

Our purpose iN to permeate with the spirit of the Gospel, not only individuals, but also society and international relationships. We firmly believe that for the molding of such a brotherhood every Christian should merge his life with the will of God whether that may mean service at home or abroad. As Volunteers, we deem it a supreme privilege to be numbered with that train of Christ’s followers who down through the ages have joyously answered his challenge to a great obedience, a great venture of faith. 'Pilose who have sought to carry out Christ’s program for the world have been dominated, not so much by an idea, as by a conviction of an obligation to Christ and the world.

The weekly meetings have been both informational and inspirational for the mem- bers. Problems of fundamental importance have been discussed and the church doctrines have been presented by the professors and students of the Seminary from time to time. The devotional periods have deepened the interest in the great calling and have served to create a closer relationship with the Master. The Christian church faces a great challenge to meet the needs of the pres- ent world situation. The ministry must be fitted to lead the church forward in this great enterprise. The chief requisites for this leadership are knowledge of world conditions, organized effort, and an uncompromising faith in the super- natural power of God. These are the aims of the Home Volunteers. The earnest prayer of the group is that God will use the organization for the training of men to carry the gospel of Jesus Christ everywhere.

The play itself was somewhat different from most farces. The situations were not improbable and the solutions quite reasonable. The imbroglios were not ludicrous but were of a higher type of humor which was quite amusing and en- tertaining. Page Eighty-eight 1'he Cabinet Minister’ Due to family extravagances, the Right Honor- able Sir Julian Twombley is forced into serious fi- nancial straits and, as a result, his work as a cabinet minister is hampered so much that his resignation is called for. Lady Twombley, who is anxious to have her children, Imogen and Brooke, make brill- liant marriages, pretends that she has sufficient funds to help her husband, who gladly accepts them. She Ijorrows money from a money-lender, Joseph Leb- anon. on the terms that she introduce his sister. I-ady (iaylustre, and himself into society. Then fol- lows the attempt to marry Imogen to a rustic Scot- tish noble, but she refuses and chooses a boyhood chum, Valentine White.

Its signal success was due, for the most part, to the consistent work of the cast and to the untiring efforts of Miss Vera Keppel. the Coach. Ethel Luidens as Hannah and Clarence Lubbers as Willcts cleverly inter- preted the parts of the maid and the sexton. The part of Betsy Blodgett, the vil- lage gossip, was ably taken by Martha Gabbard. Elmer Van Lare as the village drunk, contributed a great deal of humor to the play as well as trouble for the rector.

Cynthia Melpolder, as Diane Lee. made a most charming and attractive heroine. The Jones family. Esther Boer as Mrs. Jones.

The story is concerned with David Lee. the pastor of the community, who is forced to live on a salary of eight hundred dollars a year—with the aid of donations, for which he must always say. “ Thank you . Ilis niece, Diane Lee. comes from Paris to live at the rectory with the result that the life of the whole community is revolutionized. There are many humorous situations created thru the misunderstandings of the townspeople which the rector and his niece must meet. It all ends happily, however, with the rector's salary increased and Diane engaged to a promising young business man. Page Xiiiety on Do Vries Dulmes I’leune Van Dulne D.

Men of repute address the members from time to time concerning common interests along the chemical, biological, and physical branches of science. Candidates for membership in the Club are those Juniors who have the required number of credits in the science department and have shown a keen interest in the furtherance of scientific work at Mope College.

It is an organization whose ultimate aim is the development of a more profound interest in the science of medicine. To attain this end meetings are held, in which various topics are discussed by the members. Many enjoyable evenings have been spent in this manner, and each pre-medic feels that he has gained something worth while from the discus- sions. Oftentimes, prominent doctors from the city have been invited to talk on any subject of their own choosing, pertaining to the medical profession, to which they have most heartily responded. Judging from the progress which has already been achieved, we predict a bright future for the Hope College Pre-Medic Club, and that with the advent of a few years it will be one of the strongest organizations upon the campus. f irst Semester IIbnry Van Duine.

Among its functions arc the chronicling of school events, the maintenance of interest in what other schools are doing, keeping the alumni in close touch with their Alma Mater, and representing the school out in the world. All these things, however, can he done—altho not as well or efficiently done in other ways. Of all the functions of a college paper, none can compare with the duty of expressing and elevating the thought of the studentry. The college paper reflects the life of the campus—yes; but if it neglects to raise it as well, it is untrue to its mission. To honestly and truthfully portray campus life and thus serve the college as well as the individual student, has been the ideal for the attainment of which the Anchor Staff has striven.

The pages arouse an abundance of happy associations and memories. All the phases of the school's activities arc present from Athletics to Literature and the good annual presents all these in an artistic and pleasing manner. In addition to pictures, the spirit and ideals of a school are shown hy the type of annual it produces. Phe staff trusts that the '25 Milestone fulfills its purpose. Many have helped in the production of the Milestone. Phe merchants of Holland and of vicinity have made the book possible by their advertisements. The scenes in the introductory section were contributed mainly hy Miss Jones of Holland. 'Phe college students have been willing to co-operate with the staff in doing whatever they could. 'Phe staff has felt it an honor to have this work of producing the Milestone and its members have tried in every way not to fail the care entrusted to them.

On March 6th, 1925, the annual contest of the Michigan Oratorical League was held at Kalamazoo, Michigan. This event marked the twenty-eighth annual Men’s Contest, and the eighteenth annual W omen’s Contest. For the colleges of Michigan this Oratorical Contest is an occasion of en- thusiastic and friendly rivalry. The influence of the M. (). L. in setting a high standard in the art of public speaking can hardly be overestimated. W e of Hope arc especially proud of our record in the M. O. L. Since 1912, Hope has won first place thirteen times, two of these victories coming in the same year, and six in successive years. In Interstate Contests Hope has had three victories. Can not our Alma Mater be justly proud of such achievement! To our able coach. Doctor Xykerk, we owe the highest praise, who is the only one of the organizers of the M. O. L. still active as an instructor in public speaking. By his untiring efforts I lope’s orators have been able to represent what is finest and best in oratory. May dear old Hope ever maintain the record of the past!

Barkoimi The Girls’ Glee Club All of Hope College,—faculty, alumni, students,—focused their attention particularly upon the Ciris' Clee Club this year. The annual concert tour was unusually extended, touching points reaching to New York City and several bor- dering towns in New Jersey. That success attended every concert is evidenced by the continual favorable reports coming from the places visited, and by the increased confidence and proficiency of the girls in the art of chorus singing. Much credit is due them also for their enviable record at the State Glee Club contest held in Kalamazoo, April 17. A great regret is that many of the mem- bers graduate in June, but the foresight of Mrs. Kenton has created a new and promising nucleus for next year’s work. The club wishes to recognize its indebtedness to Miss Irene Van Zanten and Doctor Xykerk for their active aid on the Kastern trip, and to Doctor Dimnent, President of the College, whose unfailing support and ready assistance made possible this year’s pleasant adventures and noteworthy achievements.

It is but a natural ex- pression of the gay college spirit. The Hope College Men’s Glee Club was organized in the fall of 1924. From an insignificant start it has developed until now it holds a prominent position in the life of Hope College. True it is that during first practices, there ensued strains never heard before in the realm of music, but faithful practise under the leadership of Mrs. Fenton has eliminated the discords and the Club is on the way to render a very high grade of music. It was deemed wise not to give public programs during this first year of organization before the Club was firmly established. We hope in a year or two to develop a grade of music which will he a matter of pride to our Alma Mater.

Ever since the days of ’19 when football, the most popular of college sports, was again allowed on the campus, the Orange and Blue has been represented by an eleven. The teams were good, considering the difficulties they were forced to overcome; the coaching under Schouten’s leader- ship was excellent: and the men were heart and soul imbued with the real football spirit. But the student-body refused to become interested. Despite the urgings of Coach and team alike, the Hopeites did not support the football teams. Flip around end! Foge One Hundred Fourteen A plunge thru Kerris’ line!' However, this year something must have happened to waken the students. Not only did they turn out in great numbers at the home games, hut whenever it was possible, a large group of students accompanied the eleven on their trips. The effect of this harmonious attitude of the student body was plainly evi- dent. In every game the squad felt more sure of themselves and were able to feel some real college spirit behind them. They felt for the first time that gridiron battles really counted with the students and the fans. The support of the school was only one factor, however, which contributed towards a successful season—a large number of Freshmen and Sophomores re- sponded to Coach Schoutcn’s call, and some real material was discovered. Search- lights were erected, which made longer practice sessions possible, thus, in a meas- ure, overcoming the handicap which laboratory hours have always given the coaching staff. With a splendid nucleus of nine veterans headed by captain-elect (icorge Damson, Hope’s football prospects for 1925 look good. y ’27.

His fighting spirit was a big asset to the team. GEORGE”, End—three years (Captain Elect). Hard and sure tackling made George a valuable defensive man.

Cappy's love for the game and lighting spirit along with his natural football ability have made him a veteran. Page One Hu it a red Seventeen “TED,” Tackle—two years. Ted was a tower of strength at right tackle and his punting pulled the team out of some dangerous places. LEE,” Half-back—one year. Lee’s first year of college football showed him to be a real player. Much can be ex- pected from him in the future. TUBBY.” Half-back—two years. “Tubby’s hard line plunging has gained many a yard for Hope in the past two seasons. “TED,” Quarter-back—three years.

The past season Mope’s cagers have established a record which compares favor- ably with any of those in the past. 1 he entire squad of 1923 reported to Coach Schouten in the fall and it was not long before “Jack” had developed two teams of high calibre. The schedule opened with three easy teams and the Royal Ravens, Trinity Lutherans, and Cal- vin C ollege were overcome. Xext a holiday game was played with the Denver I igers and our team met its first defeat. After the holiday season Manchester College came to our floor. They had made a name for themselves by handing Kalamazoo Normals a decisive beating. I lope upset the dope, however, by win- ning over the Indiana team, 41-28. The following week found another Indiana Page One Hundred Twenty team on Hope’s court and Concordia College was forced to receive the bitter end of a 38-30 score. The team then travelled to Kalamazoo College and after re- ceiving a good scare they finally emerged from behind, winning by a score of 22-16. A trip to Kalamazoo Xormal School proved fatal and the dope was upset again when Hope was defeated 31-20. However, the following week. I lope got re- venge by defeating the Normals, 32-16. Then M. A. C. was overcome in a close, hard fought game. Kalamazoo College was next on the schedule and they were smothered by a score of 43-18. The University of Detroit was the last victim, re- ceiving the short end of a 24-15 deal. They turned the tables, however, for in the final game of the season, they overcame the Hope team. 40-15. Despite an unfavorable ending the Hope basketball Team was able to claim the State Championship Title. This was because Hope had played and won from more representative State Colleges than any other school. Hope was defeated twice but avenged each defeat with a victory. A team is often as strong as its reserve men and during the past season Coach Schouten had five experienced subs whom lie could send into the game at any time without weakening the team, 'l'he experience these reserve men received has proved very valuable to them and although five of the varsity will be lost by grad- uation, “Jack” has developed a new combination which promises another season of victories.

Although “Lefty” did not get many opportunities to show his ability, he has a mighty good eye for the basket and two more years to play. “JACK”, Coach. A coach who can develop as many strong basketball teams as Jack” has done, certainly knows the game and his men. “TED”, Guard—two years. A fast scrappy player who will be one of Schoutcn’s dependables next season. Paxi One Hundred Tweitty foui Reserve Basketball The past basketball season found many new men on the reserve squad. Grad- uation had left only two regulars, but the vacancies were soon filled by former High School stars and a capable team was developed. The team played a short schedule of eight games, and won six. Among the teams defeated were the Sparta Independents, Burton Heights, and the various class teams. Jamestown and the Christian High Alumni were the only teams not defeated. Although the reserve team is usually forgotten, it should not be passed by without praise, for it is the reserve team which developes the varsity and from it the future basketball teams of Hope will come.

Playing a schedule which called for games with some of the state’s strongest teams, Hope won five out of the eight games. ()nly M. A. C.. Kalamazoo Normal, and Kalamazoo College were able to defeat Schouten’s nine. With the entire squad back, prospects looked real bright. After about a month of training a veteran team took a trip to Ionising and Kalamazoo. 'Phe result was that two defeats were registered against Hope. However the team came back strong and by means of some heavy hitting Ferris was forced to receive a 16-5 beating. Next Kalamazoo College was overcome. 4-1. Poppcn’s hurling was the feature of this game. The following week found the tables turned and Kala- mazoo College gave Hope its final defeat by a 5-4 score. The breaks went against Hope in this game and even though our team got more hits and made less errors than the Celery City team still they were defeated. 'Phe next week Hope travelled to Big Rapids and playing an air tight game, shut out Ferris. 3-0. Following this the team went to Albion and St. Mary’s College. A real struggle was looked for at Albion but rain prevented the playing of the game. At St. Mary’s College the team chalked up another victory to the tune of 3-2. 'Phe team ended the season by defeating the Mt. Pleasant nine. 11-7. 'Phus the baseball team has made a record of which we may be proud. The loss of only two regulars promises another victorious season for the hange and Blue. SCHBDUI.F.

At the crack of the pistol, with fast heating hearts, coursing fighting blood, Hope’s trackmen sped through the cold morning air. After two months of hard training, six lithe racers gave their best of speed and endurance in that gruelling record-breaking run. With many track enthu- siasts cheering them on. they won high honors for their Alma Mater, crossing the line immediately after Kalamazoo and Ypsilanti. the two large normal schools of the State. As was evident last fall, much greater interest is being shown in track. Many responded to the call for runners when school opened, and keen com- petition ensued. Through faithful training and the able coaching of “Jack” a strong team was developed. Again this spring interest in track received a new impetus when it was learned that a relay had been arranged with Calvin College. Several dual cross country meets are also being sought with other colleges of the state. Thus with such a promising schedule, this sport will again be recognized as worthy of everybody’s support.

F. ’27 Paths I know a road that walks along Through the woods beyond the river; It wastes no time as it walks along. For a proper road has no time to stay. And a proper road has no mind to stray In the woods beyond the river. But many a path goes rambling on Through the woods beyond the river: They twist and turn as they ramble on And none can tell where a path may stray Or where you will be at the close of day. If you follow a path by the river. So the wise choose the road that walks along Through the woods beyond the river; They are well content as they walk along. For they know just where the road will end. Though none can see past the path’s first bend:— But I choose the path by the river. For who knows whither the path may lead In the woods beyond the river? Where the faeries dance in a dreamlike mist; To the rainbow’s end; to the Heart’s Desire; To a darkness thick and a treacherous mire— I follow the path by the river. M. I.

I.onisvillc, Kentucky Doctor Van Raaltc did well, when, with Doc- tor Phillip Phelps he selected the anchor as Hope’s Symbol. The College, indeed proved the ‘‘anchor of hope for the settlers he led to these shores; which movement, according to one of his judicious contemporaries, was comparable, in its moral gran- deur. only to the Puritan emigration from Kng- land. The pride of Hope is her large contribution to the American pulpit. Her graduates are scat- tered over the entire Reformed Church, notably the Dutch Reformed and Presbyterian Commun- ions. She has been and still is the pride of Mis- sions. both at home and abroad. Not a few names on her roster have attained the lustre of stars of the first magnitude. The cable of her “Anchor” has therefore encircled the earth and her name is known in all lands and on all continents. Doc- tor B. B. Warfield of Princeton once defined Hope to me as- the best training school for the Sem- inary in all the land . Since I graduated, in 1876. she has grown from “a mustard seed into a tree, in which the birds of the heavens nestle . 1 am proud to be one of her sons. Vivat, floreat, cres- cat Collegium! Hope College has a definite plan and a still greater opportunity in the vast scheme of Ameri- can Education. It has long since become the training school for clergy, missionaries and teach- ers of the Dutch Reformed Church in America but its responsibilities are wider than this. It should in addition serve as a matrix for the intel- lectual aspirations and the educated leadership of the Western Michigan community in which it is situated, more particularly by training those who will be fortunate enough to enter its classrooms in the best traditions of our civilization and by stimulating them to drink deeply of the inexhaust- ible wells of art and science. Furthermore, I lope College, founded through the sacrifice and idealism of Dutch pioneers, has a unique opportunity to contribute to the richness of our American culture by serving as a focal point for the study and in- terpretation of the free traditions and rich culture of the Netherlands, an heritage of which we of Dutch descent are justly proud. Hksskl E. Vntkma, ‘12, Pit. D. New York City Page One Hundred Forty Arnold Mildkr, ‘07. Litt. I). Holland, Michigan There is a sour: clear to the hearts of all Ro- tarians the world over. I want a girl just like the girl that married dear old dad. Almost every normal man. in defiance of reason, prefers his own mother to anyone vise's mother. And the same thing is true of the college graduate's sentiment for his college. Common sense tells him that there are many colleges just as good as the one from which he graduated: every graduate thinks that his own school is the best and the most worthy of praise and affection. By the inelastic laws of mathematics all colleges and all mothers can't he the best, but that never prevents a normal man from believing that his own mother was the best of all possible mothers or the graduate of a college from being certain that his own college is the best of all possible colleges. Percy Marks in The Plastic lgc attributes many of the troubles of colleges to the unrestrained sentimentalism of their alumni. Being genuinely interested in main- taining high standards at Hope. 1 shall help not to endanger those standards by sentimentalizing my college, except to the extent that, in defiance of reason. I shall continue to think of it ai the best of all possible colleges. Hope College may easily rid herself of many of the denunciations against denominational schools with which the air is filled. While her halls are filled, for the most part, with a special group of students of a particular faith and a par- ticular national heritage. Mope College has been able to ward off the stigma of provincialism lo- calise of her broad charity and her splendidly heroic missionary attitude. bile the dangers of intolerance are ever near, she has liberally kept herself informed of activities of men and nations outside. The strength of Hope lies in the charac- ter of the students that enter each year. They are sensitive to impressions; and when once a vital impression has struck home, one need never fear that a true Hope student will flinch. The charge of narrowness may frequently he more fairly ap- plied to larger institutions where the spirit is all hut cosmopolitan. To see life steadily and to see it whole certainly demands above all an attitude toward the Divine which will weather all the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune”.

MARIAN VAN VESSEM Atvardcd First Place in the Michigan Oratorical Contest for IVomen The world has taken a wrong turn which, if persisted in. may lead to the destruction of all civilization. No lover of mankind or of progress, no student of religion, morals or economics can regard the present trend of affairs without feelings of great anxiety. Never was greater need of all those qualities which make the race human and never did they appear to he less manifest. This dismal prophecy, uttered by a group of England’s distinguished religious leaders, is only a prototype of scores of similar predictions expressed in contem- porary literature. Drifting along with little thot of the past or of apprehension for the future, we are suddenly startled from our complacency. Is there really danger of our civilization’s being snuffed out like a candle that is spent? What are we to say when thotful men tell us with conviction that our boasted civilization is one with Nineveh and Tyre’’? Such dire predictions for our future we are unwilling to accept without protest. Yet. to be fair we must judge for ourselves what evils gnaw at the vitals of Western culture. Thru the dark glasses of these pessimists let us look at our world. First we see nations just emerged, torn and bleeding from a gigantic war instigated by Machiavellian statesmanship. Power! Each nation's right to expand and enrich itself, irrespective of the rights of other nations—that was the key-note of pre-war philosophy. And today Europe is crushed, over- burdened by self-inflicted debt, torn by revolution and anarchism, a ghost of her former self. How about America? Has she fared any better? True, she was not scourged and ravaged by war like her European sisters, hut America’s enemies are found within. We behold American politics smirched by unscrupulous politicians thirsty for power, her con- stitution violated by lawlessness, hooded mobs pretending intense patriotism; we sec lawyers prostituting their talents to evade the law; these same laws we see broken down by citizens who, no longer fearing them, cherish only self-interest. The economic escutcheon is blotted by tireless warfare between the capitalist and his hireling, blotted by thousands of workmen who eke out a bare existence, blotted by child victims sacrificed to greed and riches. About us is a population of restive, heterogeneous peoples divided against themselves; a youth rebellious against all authority, erecting altars to hedonism. liven our literature, it seems, caters to the baser instincts; newspapers place a premium on scandal and sensationalism. The family, that mainstay of civilization, falls into ruin. When we look thru these dark glasses of despair, we agree with Lothrop Stoddard that Nordic civilization cannot last; with Dean Inge we pity ourselves for having been born in this age; we despair for the future of our children. Alas! we cry, is there then no hope? Will our efforts bequeath to future generations nothing hut a New Dark Age? If we listen we hear other voices crying in this wilderness— Pace One Hundred Forty two voices that bring us cheer and comfort. Our literature, though overburdened with that gospel of despair, speaks still of hope, living ever in the heart to pierce the murk of ma- terialism. Even now. declares Frank Crane, we are in the trough of a wave of civilization. Could the Dark Ages have been blacker than the period of war we have just passed through? Glenn Frank voices the undertone of hopeful thot spreading thruout our country. He de- declares his belief that there arc as many indications of a New Renaissance as of a new Dark Age. Far greater than this literature of despair there is a vast literature of hope—a hope, too, which is not the flashy tinsel of professional optimism, but rather the by-product of other works, a corollary to science, philosophy, and art. Those men. he goes on, who ferret out the hopeful by-products of these writings shall be the engineers of the New Renaissance. Again our courage rises when no less a man than Walter Raushcnbush declares that in tto other age would he rather have lived than in this—that the very fact that mankind can today, without malice and fear, feel and criticize social wrongs is one of the most felicitous tributes that can be paid to the age. With these voices of optimism ringing in our ears, we once more search the world, but this time for indications, be they ever so faint, of the Renaissance of tomorrow. In Italy we find a surging wave of interest in racial culture—art. music, literature—not an esoteric revival of interest among the upper classes, hut a mass movement of the people, a striving for a more abundant life. Young Italy we call it. Farther North in Hungary and Germany there has arisen a widespread youth movement which had its beginnings before the war. Hut today it has blossomed forth, and in spite of a few ugly incidents, manifests a sincere and unquenchable desire to see the world at peace forever. Today it stretches out its hand of friendship to America. And does there exist, you ask, a Youth Movement in America? Not as an organized force, I admit, but nevertheless there is in America, raising its head now and again, a silent yet significant Youth Movement. Recall with me the Student Volunteer Conference at In- dianapolis, where five thousand of America’s choicest young people, irrespective of race, color, or creed, discussed openly and without prejudice, the world’s greatest problems. Did you know that from this Conference was born a Fellowship of Youth for Peace.” pledged to abandon war forever? Did you know, too, that the conference method of discussing modern problems is spreading among the youth almost as fast as radio? No one can be ignorant that today a vast wave of religion surges over our country. Altho gloom-mongers bewail the irreverence of our age and the lack of interest in the church, yet it is a fact that there is today a sale of religious literature greater than ever before. Even the newspapers have caught the contagion, and educators prophesy that the day is just at hand when religion will be included in the curricula of all our public schools. In art. we see a wealthy young American launching a campaign against the sensational yellow journalism which corrupts America’s youth. And. never has poetry blossomed forth in America as it has in the last decade. Everyone knows, too, of the widespread attempts to acquaint the American child with the music of the masters. Never has America been so keenly interested in the beautiful in homes, in public buildings, in the scenery of the country. Need I mention the general spirit of inquiry in all the sciences. Need we dwell upon the countless attempts at an international peace, a brotherhood between nations? Indeed, I could go on indefinitely. Here, there, everywhere, are raw materials for the New Ren- aissance ! Page One 11-.indu'd Forty three Whence, now, are to come the engineers of this great rebirth? What agencies arc to use and organize these raw materials to combat the dark spirit of despair? Can politics do it? Many have hoped that a realistic politics, a clean patriotic states- manship which sees beyond the years” might lead the world in a great international peace founded on a world-wide spirit of brotherhood. Hut on every hand we find corruption. Politics is not ready to lead in the self-sacrifice essential to true statesmanship. Others have hoped that a settlement of economic problems would usher in a new era. But is there today any suggestion of a permanent settlement of economic difficulties? Besides, can material prosperity bring righteousness? Again, men have prophesied that the widespread knowledge of science would redeem mankind. Tis true, science has benefited man immeasurably. Take from modern civilization the achievements of science, and we find ourselves forlorn, helpless. Hut science has not truly civilized any nation. With one hand it gives us creature comforts, but with the other it makes possible the most terrific butchery ever known. Indeed, it is today producing weapons of warfare more and more deadly. In desperation then we turn to education. Surely where knowledge is there will right- eousness be found. Hut no. prisons teem with educated crooks. Little can be expected from a people steeped in the Xietzchean philosophy of “each man for himself and the Devil take the hindmost. Knowledge, we conclude, does not keep people from sin and error. We arc coming to the realization then, that only one agency can save the world from the abyss of materialism—and that agency is the spirit of the Man of Galilee; the spirit which the church of Christ has struggled to keep alive thru nineteen centuries. The im- possibility of any other solution for our national and international difficulties is attested by all thinking men today, from the pious Bishop of York to the agnostic Bernard Shaw. But how does it happen that this spirit has not long ago been diffused thruout the world? What is the matter with the church today? Men have lost their faith in it. Faith still abounds, but men do not replenish it in the church. The fear comes over us that the church has lost its vitality, that in its inconsequential cavilings and bickerings over creeds and dogmas, it has lost the essence of the spirit of Christ. Indeed, in its chauvinistic loyalty to denominationalism, it has forgotten the world in which it finds itself. It shrinks from the modern man's economic and social perplexities, and consequently, the modern man is not interested in it. The Church is facing today the most tremendous problem of all the ages. Is she willing to die out with civilization? Or will she shake off her lethargy, follow her Master, and remake and redeem the world? The challenge to the Church devolves upon you and me. for we constitute the Church. Our religion has been too much an opiate deadening our senses to the needs of the world. We content ourselves too much with blandly chanting that every day in every way the world is growing better and better. We have boasted of the heritage our sires have bequeathed to us. Shall we be content to bequeath less to our sons and daughters. Our age is one of supreme consequence. Our duty to the unborn generations is not a light one. It means action—it means sacrifice—it means faith. It means the adoption of the mighty spirit of the Christ; the spirit that brot the Puritans into the wilds of America; the spirit that drove John Muss to the stake; the spirit that led the Master Himself to the cross. Oh. students, can you not see beyond the gray dawn of today’s confusion, the fair day in which our children shall reap the fruits of the Renaissance born in our hearts? Page One Hundred Forty four The Curse Many arc the nights that I have laid my weary body on its final resting place—at least for that evening, and perplexed and bewildered, wondered about famous passages of famous men or. shall 1 say, particularly a famous passage from a famous man. “All men are created equal.” Ah! how that phrase has stung me—pierced my heart, until, weary, worn and dis- gusted that a human being could make such an erroneous statement, I dropped off into the great beyond of the land of dreams. But. gentle readers, not only at night has this phrase aroused my motor nerves until 1 have writhed my hands and torn my hair, but through the waking hours also. “Poor me—you poor unfortunate, the gods have certainly cursed you.” I have exclaimed to myself many and many a time and then after sympathizing with myself for a time I feel much better. Putting it briefly, readers, listeners, sympathizers, countrymen, I am the youngest member of the family. I have never felt tlve keen satisfaction of teasing young sister , or shoving my work on kid brother.” It's Buddie this” and Buddie that until I almost grow weary with life. livery time I try to evade some task or other, my mother will say, You’re a spoiled baby. Bud, and it's going to be taken out of you if it takes me ten years. The trouble with you is that you get everything and don't appreciate anything. Well, it's high time your father and I began to sit on you. That’s the whole trouble in this family—your father wants me to do all the disciplining. You’re a spoiled baby. Bud —Ah! how it brings back the savage of my brute ancestors in me,—no wonder the prisons are full. Oft times my mother and father insist that I enter their whirlpool of society with them for an evening. I try to rebel but with about as much success as limma Goldman or Bob Lafollette. “To mingle with highly intellectual people is just what you need. Bud. and so poor me goes to the mogul Club hand in hand with mama and papa. It's the same old story. Everybody gives you the handclasp and tells you how glad they are to see you when they don't mean it any more than a rat. The gentle, sulxlued little echoes of laughter which burst forth from the members of the fair sex have about as much real downright mirth in them as docs Chopin’s funeral march. But this is all old news to most of you and all this camouflage and hypocrisy doesn't bother me a great deal. The thing that gives me need for worry is when my mother takes me around the club and introduces me. Yes. he’s my baby, and lie’s a pretty nice baby—his mother surely thinks so” whereupon my dear mother gives my arm a little lovepat and gives forth a gentle bit of laughter. Mv. but your son is a big fellow for his age, isn't he?” My yes, he’s taller than his father, but he’s always going to be mother’s darling baby.” 1 don't know whether she docs it to make me angry or without thinking, but that word baby just makes me crazy. I’ve told her about a million times if I've told her once not to use that cursed word in speaking about me, but somehow or other she just delights in it. Whenever I go out of an evening to attend a party or the like, the old familiar messages come clanging to my ears. Do be careful, Buddie, please don't drive fast. If anything happened to mother’s baby she would just die. These terrible automobile accidents just worry me to death. Do be careful. Bud, for mother’s sake, and remember Buddie that mother just can't sleep until after you're in. Besides, there is another day coming.” Whereupon I attempt to make my exit. “Aren’t you going to kiss your ]x or mother goodbye. That’s a good boy—Do be careful, Bud.” Of course I agree with my family to the nth degree; it gives them peace of mind, and I am a confirmed believer in making things easy for the family. For some reason or other it sometimes happens that I don’t get home until after 11:00 o'clock P. M. I turn the motor and lights of the car off and attempt to coast down into the garage with a minimum amount of noise. If our driveway was made of cement instead of stones I might possibly manage to get into the house unknown, but not the way con- ditions are now. The stones crack like loud peals of thunder in the quiet and peace of the night. Dad is generally waiting for me in the living room and mother’s voice never fails to sound forth from the top of the stairs the minute I step into the hall. Oh, Buddie dear, your father and I just couldn't sleep until our precious boy got home. This is an awfully late hour though. Bud: don’t let this hapjtcn again.” And so kind readers, if any of you think you are cast among the unfortunates, just com- pare yourselves with me and with all my troubles and misfortunes, and I know your blood will at once rush forth in wild glee, as do the tiny hrooks when the first spring warmth has melted open their winding course. I am still pondering over that great “saying,” “All Men are created equal and all 1 am asking of you is that you dig down into your hearts and give me just a bit of sympathv. Poor me—I feel so bad for you.” R. B. ’26. Pane One Hundred Forty five The Obligation of American Stewardship By GERRIT WILLIAM WESSELINK Awarded Second Place in the Michigan Oratorical Contest for Men Out of all the relationships of life, spring obligations. We are born into a family, and immediately the relation of child to parent is established and from this relationship certain obligations arise. We are not only born into families but also into citizenship in a nation, and as long as the relationship resulting from this birth exists, obligations are placed upon us as citizens which cannot be ignored. These obligations are the responsibilities of citizenship. Of all the obligations of citizen to nation none is greater than those of an American citizen to his government. In no other country does freedom and privilege count for more, or citizenship attain to greater dignity, than in the United States. Each citizen must assume a share in the administration and responsibility of government. He makes the law as well as obeys it. As Ik- acts, so the nation acts. Upon the individual citizen rests the integrity, yea. the very existence of our Republic. Nowhere are the responsibilities of citizenship more sacred and solemn. Our country was destined to be a leader. During the past century she has grown from a weak and despised nation to the mightiest and greatest nation in the world. She stands today without a peer, her prestige in international affairs unrivalled, her commercial suprem- acy established, her influence felt throughout the world. And of these achievements we arc justly proud. Hut we have unquestionably attained our present position of power and afflu- ence, because of the democratic principles and high ideals of citizenship established in our life and government by our forefathers. I do not mean to assert, however, that we have lived up to our ideals If we examine American tendencies today we shall observe a serious degeneration of our ideals. We have but recently passed through a wave of lawlessness that surpassed in its intensity anything we have yet known. Even today, in spite of the multiplicity of our laws, we have lawlessness unprecedented and unchecked. It shows itself in the Ku Klux Klan. Herrin Massacres, and Teapot Domes. It crops out in the form of the Franks murder case, sensational robberies, graft schemes, lynchings and mob rule. More than 75.000 were convicted of crime in 1923, and we have the unenviable reputation of leading the world in crime. But much more lamentable and significant is our lack of law enforcement. Disrespect for law and authority is prevalent throughout the nation. There are today men of prom- inence in our communities, who condone certain illegal acts because they believe that those acts should not have been made illegal. They assume that since they do not believe in Page One Hundred Forty six Prohibition, they need not obey the Eighteenth Amendment: and if they can evade that law, they jest about it and applaud it as an accomplishment. When defiance of the law breaks forth among our respected citizens,—honest laborers, enterprising capitalists, reliable busi- ness men,—it is then that we are concerned. For then there is a weakening oI our national morale. Upon these citizens rests the responsibility for the ultimate success or failure of our government. Parallel to this attitude of disrespect for law and order has been the growth of corrup- tion and laxness in politics and government. In but one period of our history has graft and greed in politics been more conspicuous than at the present time. We have a striking example in our neighboring state of Illinois. The government of Illinois is in the hands of an organized band of politicians and “bosses”, using their governmental power and priv- ilege to advance their own interests at the expense of the commonwealth. About a year ago the governor of Indiana was sentenced to imprisonment for fraudulent use of the mails to enrich himself. Today Governor Davis of Kansas is being tried on charge of accepting bribes. 1 he scandals of the last administration arc well-known to us all. Corruption in government has still another phase, and that is the attitude of govern- mental officials toward their duties. Many of our congressmen have no regard whatsoever for our national interests, but are dominated entirely by partisan feeling and sectional inter- ests. And yet we seem to condone such action by keeping these men in office. Even the courts, the supposed safeguards of our liberty, have not been free from stain. Money, unscrupulous lawyers, and legal technicalities often combine to defeat justice. Our judiciary is unable to cope with crimes mounting in number and violence and it is an apparent fact that the failure of our criminal court is one of the basic causes of crime. Chief Justice Taft says that the administration of criminal law in this country is a disgrace to our civilization.” When the attitude of governmental officials becomes one of laxity, the func- tion of government is subverted and the laws fall into disrepute. You know I have not exaggerated conditions. A careful investigation of the situation will show you that I have drawn but a mild arraignment of the spirit of our age. Condi- tions are indeed deplorable, and must be dealt with. As most virtues and vices of society may he traced to social ideals. so the present conditions may be traced to a lax and indifferent citizenship. If evils exist, they exist by the consent of the people and the people alone arc responsible. Kossuth pointed out the danger when he sounded the warning. If shipwreck shall ever befall your country, the rock upon which it will split will be your devotion to your private interests at the expense of your duty to the state. Self-government is not automatic; it is self-directing. The solution of our problem must come through an awakened and active citizenship. The first demand is for conscientious and intelligent use of our right of suffrage,- a simple duty but very important. A multitude of reputable citizens, year by year, fail to vote. It is they who are responsible for any weakness in government or corruption in politics; it is they who are responsible for laws lacking in wisdom. They fail in their first duty as citizens. Friends, the right to elect rulers of the land is a great privilege but a greater responsibility. It is a duty from which we may not shrink. Fagc One Hundred Forty-seven Obedience to law is of still greater importance. It is a duty because in our government each citizen has a share in the enactment of law. It is the essence of our government that the will of the majority should control, and no man should put himself in defiance to that will simply because he does not concur in the views of the majority. The cry of personal liberty is often heard today in justification of many a lawless act. Men and women insist upon their rights and privileges, but they seldom think of their duties and obligations. They forget that individual welfare may mean general distress. If a man question the wisdom of a law, it is his obligation to society to help create a better one, while it is his duty to obey the original as long as it exists. But it must not be supposed that obedience implies simply refraining from doing things forbidden. It is the willing, active effort that makes obedience a virtue. He alone enters fully into the spirit of the law who throws himself earnestly forward in the effort to do all the nation calls for, and also to secure a like action from others. He must evermore uphold the law as something sacred, something not to be thrown down and trampled in the dust by any one or any party. We must reverence all laws as a part of that structure which makes possible our existence as one people. But— the responsibilities of citizenship must not be regarded as limited to voting or to obedience to law. It is said, that in a representative government the ideals of the office- holder and the nation arc but a reflection of the character of its citizenship. And therefore, above all other obligations, is the obligation of personal character. Each citizen owes to the nation the duty of maintaining in himself a high clean, moral character. “For character is one of those forces, which, going out beyond itself, touches for good or for ill all within its reach. We force the stamp of our personality upon the community in which we dwell, and through that influence affect for weal or woe the nation of which we are a part. It is an obligation which is binding at all times and in all places. It is the one duty which underlies all others: with it we may hope to realize something of the greatness and nobility of citizenship in this republic; without it the loudest voices of assumed patriotism are but mockery.” Fellow-citizens, we rejoice to believe that generally, both in its inner life and its dealings with other nations, our country has striven for those things which make for truth, justice, honesty, and purity. We arc proud of all its material development, its increase in popu- lation, its growth in wealth, but we rejoice the more in its high and elevating ideals. We point to its deeds of kindness to other nations; to all that it has done to bring about world peace: to all that it has done for liberty and democracy; and to countless other acts of lofty char- acter. But let us remember that the sources and causes of every noble deed in our country’s life arc to be found in the thoughts and lives of individual citizens, who have succeeded in transferring some part of their own high character into the life of the nation;—citizens who have performed their every civic duty with a view toward the betterment of the nation. Students, I plead tonight for intelligent citizenship; I plead tor an enlightened public opinion; I plead for obedience to law; but, above all. I plead for noble and worthy citizens,—citizens like Roosevelt, citizens like Wilson, citizens like Coolidge. I appeal to you. young men and young women, lovers of your country, loyal to all its best interests, filled with unbounded faith in its future, willing to live, to serve, and to die, if need be, for its honor and glory. 1 want to urge you to build up within yourselves that pure and lofty character which makes the individual be loved, which gives him power, and which causes his life to be of service to his community, his nation, and the world. That privilege belongs to you.

You wuz only plumb scared to death!’ And then his eyes got black cn little, with a look like red lightnin’ in ’em. and 1 had a sorter cold .foolin' down my back when 1 went to bed. and I fccled as if I hadn’t got shet of thet ha’nt yit. Thet winter 1 built me a little cabin and me and Marthy wuz married. Hit were a particular cold year fer Kaintuck. and hit were right lonesome in thcr holler. The rats wuz powerful bad thet year and soon hit 'peared to me thet my corn wuz disappearin’ faster than hit ort to. I fixed up all my snares but hit didn't do ary bit of good. One night nigh half a bushel wuz gone, and I says to myself. Hen, says I. that ar rat is a sure miff powerful critter. F.f he can pack thirty pounds of corn 1 want to sec him. Thet ar rat, says I, is a two-legged rat. So —with an unconscious crisping of the lazy drawl— I makes up my mind to lay fer him. 1 watched every night fer a week, but didn't see ary a soul but my brother. More sullen like than ever he were with scarce a civil word in his head. My woman wuz sceared of him and always wuz mighty restless like whenever she seed him. 'He means ye no good.’ she would say. 'he------’. but I never would let her say ary thing agin' my kin. She axed me not to let him come, but he allays were quare turned, and a l ody cain't help what they’re horned with, beside I never yet turned my kin from my door. So he used to come and set by my fire of an evenin'. Then one night 1 beared some one acotnin’ up the dark. My hand steadied and I sot straight and then I hecrcd. “ T Iallo-oo—o! 1 lallo-o-o-o!’ Hit were old preacher Anson thet I used ter know when I were a voungun down in Jackson. There wuz a cold sweat in my hand when 1 says 'Howdy' and 1 feeled kind of shamed and shaky but 1 taked him in ter Marthy and we asked him ter take the night with us. Alter supper the old feller sat and tolled us-uns yarns of the time when he were young. I’agc One Hundred Fifty ‘Lawsy me.' he said, 'ye do favor your grand-paw particular. Hen. Afore we wuz con- verted and feeled a callin' ter be ministers of the gospel, we did act mighty feisty. Thar weren't no devilment we two didn’t hev a hand in.' I seed Marthy look at me with a smile apullin at thcr corners of her mouth. ‘I rccellect me’, the old preacher were awarmin’ up. 'your grandpaw were a powerful hold man. Things wuz sartin sure stirred up bout the time ver pap moved this-a-way. Hit were the time of the feud twixt yer family and the Mourrice’s. Hit weren't safe noway to be seen friendly with them in them days. I mind me well the time he killed Mosey, the last of them Mourriccs. He were a likely lad and hit sorter seemed a shame. The way of hit were this. “ ‘Mosev's old grandmaw were advin'. and she reached up and got a rifle thet were ahangin' over the lire board. “Mosey, says she. look ye here. And there wuz six notches in the stock of the gun. Them.” says she. wuz cut lhar by yer pappy and his brothers. Ye know what they mean. F.ach one of ’em got his man. And Mosey, says she, grabbin’ his strong hands with her shriveled old claws, “pears to me 1 cain't die in jK-ace nohow so long as there is one of them Claylins left. They kilt yer pap and his kin. 1 want thet ye should do fer one of them varmints. Remember yer mammy. Mosey, she died tryin' to take keer of ye. And yer pappy were burnt in his house, he were. Boy: yer a man now, ain’t yer? ain't yer? and Mosey grablied the gun and got the seventh notch deep and true and run outer thcr cabin. And the old granny, she jest called down one black curse on the Claylin’s and died ahuggin' the old rifle to her. ‘Mosey, he rode gallopin up the rode ashootin’ his gun in the air and veilin' like one of them Indians the schoolmaster tells about. Scouts telled yer grandpaw he were coinin'. He gets his horse and gun and starts out to meet him. Law. I kin see hit yit. Yer grandpappy on his big black horse, asettin' so straight in thcr saddle, his hand carelesslike at his side, his mouth close shet and his eyes alookin straight up the road; and there came thet young devil of a boy like a whirlwind, his hair livin' and his gun cuttin' circles around his head. Like greased lightnin' they passes each other, and each one shot at the same time at thothcr one. And the wonder of hit were they wuz both killed; yer grandpaw shot straight thru the temple, and Mosey thru the heart. There wuz the biggest burying ever ye seed. I never seed wimin take on like the wimin did thet day. There wuz six preachers and a big revival along with hit. Hit were thcr 1 were called to preach along with yer pappy. He swore he were agoin' ter git out of thcr country and git a new start, and so Hit were an old story to me and 1 didn't much heed what he were savin'. But Marthy! I see her face were gettin' whiter and whiter en she looked at me as if I were a farin' copperhead or somethin' worse. “'You,' she says, ‘You—! He were my pappy! I tells ye—laflf kase he’s dead will ye! think ycrself proud kase yer grandpaw killt my pappy. Think ve kin boast of hit now when all our menfolks is dead. I'll show ye-------’ and she takes my rifle from where hit wuz aleanin' in ther corner and notches hit deep on the stock. “‘Marthy,’ says I, ‘Air ye plumb foolish? Hit weren't yer pappy. Yer name is Haynes, not Claylin.’ “‘Much ve know.' she snapped at me, ‘I were raised by my grandmaw. thet’s why they calls me Haynes.’ and she drawed as pretty a bead on me as I hope to see. 'Well.' says 1. ‘shoot, Marthy! 1 ain't blamin' ye none.’ But then she throwed the rifle away and jest drapped inter my arms and cried. Page One Hundred Fifty-one ‘I'm ycrs now I reckon,’ she says. ‘I eain’t lift a finger agin ye—kase yer my man.' Or preacher Anson were considerable upset when he seed the storm he'd rared, but we fixed thet we wouldn't tell us no-one. and Marthy put the rifle back in the corner. Jest then my brother happened in. I kinder wished he hadn't come right then, but hit couldn't be holped. My woman jest looked at him anti he at her,—nary a word did they say. ’Here,' says I sorter cheerful like. ‘How about ye helpin' me lay fer thet varmint thet's been apackin’ off my corn?' His black eyes turned red. and he says, uglv-like. 'Got ha’nts here too, Hen? I seed Marthy smile to herself then but hit didn't make her look kindly none. ‘Yes. Here,' says she. hit’s ha’ntcd, this place. Ain't it quare how ye corned to know hit. and I'll tell ye now'—she laffed again so that my bar prickled—'hit's goin' ter be ha'ntcd worser than ever directly.’ He give a quick look at her, then a glance at me that 1 couldn't rightly understand, then he looked at her and laffed hisself. Then lie left, slammin' the door attcr him. I went inter the other room to watch onct more, and left Marthy astarin' outer the winder inter the gray shadders outside. I must have dozed off I reckon, seein' I hadn't taken a night in bed fer better'll a week, and fust 1 knew. I beared a noise thet made my hands get cold and wet and my mouth feel dry and stiff. Thump-thump, hit went, thump-thump. Hit were a noise thet brought back to me the ha’nt in the moonlight and the red fire in my brother's eyes. Thump thump, hit went again. I looked outside and I seed a black shadder aslippin’ amongst thcr gray ones. Hit would stop a spell and then of a sudden fly on again. Hit went round the patch of firelight and headed straight fer my cornshed. My gun laid acrost my knees and 1 tride to pint hit straight but my hands shook like I were sightin’ my fust deer, and they wouldn't steady. The noise kept on regular—thump-thump, thump-thump—and now hit 'peared to me like hit were directly behind me. 1 didn't wait no more but fired toward the place I seed thet black shadder go. I thought in the quiet thet came attcr I beared a horse agallopin’. and then 1 k no wed thet hit were my heart 1 beared. When 1 could look. I seed the black thing in a heap on the ground. Hit didn't stir ary a bit. I took a step towards hit. then one more and another. Peared like thet same old moon were agrinnin’ down at me. Careful, quiet, slippin' behind stumps and rocks. I edged up to thet tiling lying there. I reached out with my gun and teched hit. Hit didn’t move. 1 pushed a little harder. Hit felt soft and yit hit were heavy. Of a suddent I knowed the truth. Hit were a man! 1 turned hit over and I seed thet hit were—Here! “Then I went plumb foolish fer 1 ran fer the house like they wuz an army of ha'nts ahangin' to my coat-tails. I slammed the door attcr me and then—my knees felt like water fer there in the same room with me I beared thet same noise again! And there on the floor by the winder sat Marthy, arockin herself backards and forards, alafiin' to herself way deep down in her throat, and her eyes wuz fixed on thet black heap in our clearin'. On her lap were my old fiddle—like her arm wuz a machine she were apoundin’ the back of hit.— thump-thump, thump-thump, thump-thump, thump-thump. Yes, said old Unc. Hen, abruptly stepping inside the door, I left Breathitt, and I hain't been back thar, scnce. A. M. T. '26. Page One Hundred Fifty luo Societies 1 ’ r. t.- f Societies and I lope Modern learning generally recognizes the fact that social institutions are of much influence in the promotion of literature, friendship, and morality. Man was so made that he naturally avoids solitude. The most profound productions es- sential to our existence were never the result of an individual’s labor. An assimi- lation of the work of others and the thots of others were the instruments by which he completed his task. It was with these principles in mind that the various societies of Mope were organized. Many of these organizations are old, several having witnessed the ad- vent of similar organizations. Never has a word of welcome and wishes for success been denied. ICach has with honest ambition striven to raise its standards high. Kach has succeeded and. with these principles uppermost, exists today. There are now eleven such organizations on the Campus. May each ever hold high the standard of Hope and. while they exist, may the Orange and Blue ever continue to float high, unmarred and unstained in the years to come. Page One Hundred Fifty-three Page One Hundred Fifty four Sorosis Society It is just twenty years ago that the golden crescent with its gleaming pearls of friendship first shone on the Hope Campus. Today as yesterday, it gives to every Sorosite sister the beautiful ideals of “strength” and “honor”, and the de- sire to make these ideals guiding stars in the development of her character, and in her influence on her associates. Society life and friendships draw out the finest qualities of womanhood, and bring us nearer to being ideal college girls. “Let’s strive to keep our crescent ever shining. Shining brightly all the ages through.” OFFICERS ■'all Term IVinter Term Spring Term President ........Marian Van Vessem .............Adelaide Borgman........................Mary Pieters Vice-President ...Jane Welling ..................Ethel Lvidens...............Ai.kkn Of.

We have been known as “only Preps”, but no longer can that be truthfully said. We feel that we can be justly proud of our school. The Preparatory School has maintained its standard of scholarship and its high ideals. Our so- cieties, Meliphonc and Minerva, are very well attended and great interest is shown in them. Many more students have entered the Declamation Contest than formerly and the Basketball games have been very exciting. The true “Prep” spirit has been perjjetuated also by occasional parties to which we all look forward.

She My father is a doctor, so I can be sick for nothing. He—My father's a parson, so I can be good for nothing. I’agc One Hundred Ninety-one OXCE UPON A TIME Once upon a time, long ago. there was a student who came to this school with the solemn intention that “lie was going to study”. After having been on the campus a few clays he consulted Professor Wclmers. Me was told that to make a success of life he must study ten hours a day and take Greek, lie consulted many other Professors and they were unanimous in their opinion that their subject was just the thing lie wanted, lie consulted one of the students and was advised to take up “Girlology” and today he is an experienced man. I le is married. FRESHMAN STUNT The Letter: Dear Father: Roses are red, violets are blue, send me ten dollars and I will owe you. The Answer: Dear Son: Roses are red. roses are pink, inclosed you will find ten dollars, 1 don’t think. She -()—Algy, you Americans are so slow. He—Oh. I’m afraid I don’t grasp you. She—That’s just it. just lie (after kissing her suddenly)—Hr—er. I'm sorry I did that but my nerve made me do it. She—I like your nerve. AT THE THEATRE If you are Well Bred: When there is a long line always stop and kid the box office person and en- tertain him with a few gags. Ask him if he has any seats facing the stage. This always makes a hit with the people behind you. When going down the aisle, the husband should always precede the wife, as this is probably his only chance of ever getting ahead of her. When the lady in front of you re- fuses to take her hat off, just put yours on. and let someone behind you start the rumpus. Always tip the usher. By so do- ing, you get a program which every- body gets for nothing. Be sure to remind the people in front of you that you saw the star when she was in Burgun, Ohio, play- ing in “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”. When going out during the show look carefully to the left and right. If there are four people between you and the center aisle and thirteen people between you and the left aisle, go out the left aisle. When you want “ice water” in a lit- tle paper cup from the usher, sip it slowly so it won’t scald your throat. Letters that should never have been written and ought immediately to be destroyed are the only ones worth keeping. Page One Hundred Ninety-two In this clay and age it makes no difference what one’s vocation in life may be, everyone must know his business:— A doctor must have patience, A dentist must have pull, A banker must have interest. A saloon keeper must have spirits. A real estate man must have lots, A preacher must know how to tie knots, An actor must have wits, A tailor must have fits. A philosopher must know life, Hut in this world of sorrow and strife. A man should know better than to talk back to his wife. LOVE There is an object lesson shown in making love. Very few know the true art of making love. The way a young man should make love to his girl is like this: He should drop down on his knees before her and say: “My Josafine. my Kerosene, my Gasoline, my Benzene, my Vasclene. I come from above my station without hesitation or preservation to ask you to become my relation and help this great nation.” HOW TO GET AX “E” IN YOUR STUDIES 1—Get a front seat and look intelligent. 2 Ask all the questions you can think of. (Do not have them apply too closely to the lesson or you may have to show your ignorance.) 3—Drive all your points home with a gesture. (Same set of gestures will do in each case.) A—Re sure to visit the teachers often. 5—A little work is all right, but why make mountains out of mole hills when it is not expected of you? As the Freshman says it: Twinkle, twinkle, little star, I low 1 wonder what you are. Up above the world so high. Like a diamond in the sky. As the Senior says it: Scintillate, scintillate diminutive constellation, Interrogatively question your constitutional elements, In your prodigious altitude above the terrestrial sphere, Similar unto the carbonaceous adamantive crystal. “Let me kiss your hand.” said Connie. With burning looks of love, “I can remove my veil. said Ruth. Much better than my glove.” Page One Hundred Ninety-three College Calendar Sept. 15—Students leave their summer haunts and return to Hope.

Dress warmly, wearing thin clothing and few of them. Take no medicine and use doctor’s prescriptions as directed. Keep to your room and get out into the open all you can. Stay in bed and rest, taking long walks daily. Avoid all exertion and do not fail to take some form of violent exercises. Avoid getting your feet wet and take a hot foot bath nightly. Eat sparingly, denying yourself neither as to quality nor quantity of food. By all means keep to light underwear—red flannel is best. Keep the throat uncovered, swathing it in woolen bandages. NO No is one of the smallest words in the English language, and yet— It has brought about more heartaches than the war. It has caused more children to shed tears than all the spanking in the world put together. It has saved more money for individuals with backbone than a year’s output of padlocks. It has made itself prohibition’s greatest aid. It has killed genius and thwarted genius. It has turned love into hate and success into failure. It has caused good men to tremble and scoundrels to rejoice. Will it ever make a change for the better?

It was established in 1884, and operates under the celebrated “Registration and Deposit Act” of Illinois. Franklin Policies are the result of forty years experience combined with the highest of actuarial talent. They provide for every insurable contingency of the business or family man. and include those modern terms of agreement which make the life insurance contract flexible, and therefore useful in countless ways to the policyholder himself. They are a valuable convenience in the present, as well as a guarantee of financial benefits in the future. The Management of the Company, since 1884, has endeavored to render the highest ideals of life insurance practicable, and has so suc- cessfully employed laboratory methods of improvement that the ap- probation of the insurance-seeking public has more than trebled the size of the company in the past decade.

The Cuban 1'armer was paid by the Cuban Factory but $1.16 per hundred for his extractive Sugar. The American Farmer received $2.21 per hundred more for his Sugar in the beets than the Cuban Farmer for his Sugar in the cane. The tariff on Cuban Sugar is $1.76 per hundred pounds. From this you will readily sec that the American Farmer gets not only all the protective tariff but an additional 45c for every hundred pounds of Sugar he sells in his beets.

In view of the increased number of respectable people who are entering them, something should be done about it. What our jails need i more competition. The spirit of friendly rivalry ap- pears to be absent. ()ne may just as well go to Holland as to Sing Sing. The advantages of going to jail ought to be played up more by authorities. Summer resorts arc advertised—why not jails? It is probable that one will not lose half so much character in a jail as in a summer resort. There docs not seem to be enough profit to make them worth while, and besides, they make one work while there. That is dead against the present day impulse. It doesn’t speak very well for our jails when they are the only government-controlled places where the guests are made to do regular work.
