A few have dropped out: those who remain scent older and wiser, '■'rite greatest fault . I should say. is to be conscious of none but other peoples’. Scene III. - 1927.

In the two short years that Bill was on the campus he had endeared himself to all with whom he had come in contact by hi genial disposition and sunny smile. The tragic accident came as a complete shock and his death was sincerely mourned by all. Bill has gone on. but we will long remember him as a true friend and a loyal 1 lopeite. FRANCES REINHART Once more the Master's voice has sounded and summoned Koine another of our classmates, Frances Reinhart. She was forced to discontinue her studies on account of illness, and returned to her home in Archer. Iowa, for a rest with the hope that she would continue her school work the following year. A few weeks later the student body received word of her death. To those who have known Frances, site will always be remembered by her quiet, unassuming ways, her faithfulness in performing duties, and her eagerness to serve Christ. Her ability and diligence in study and her part as a member of the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet are living testimonies of her short life on the campus. Indeed, we found in her an example of purity and righteousness. CORNELIUS TEN PAS On Sept. 15. 1926, the cold hand of death saw fit to call from our student body a beloved and faithful student in the person of Cornelius Ten Pas of Clymer. New York. The least that can be said of Cornelius was that lie was a diligent student and a loyal Hopeite. He was highly thought of by the faculty, and loved by his fellow students. He took an active part in the various activities of the college and above all he was deemed worthy to serve on the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet. W'iih these thoughts we commit Cornelius to the Eternal rest in the Saviour, hoping in due time to meet him beyond the great divide where peace and joy shall reign sublime.

Huizenga, R. Stcketce The Class of 1930 Another school year has passed and once more our interest is drawn to the tall sturdy tree which represents Mope College. The roots of the tree are the stand- ards and principles which have made Hope so great and will continue to make it greater. The trunk of the tree is the generations of the men and women who support Hope by their sacrifices and efforts. The limbs represent the courses of study given at Hope and they lift their branches higher and higher toward greater achievement. In spite of rain and winds most of the branches are laden with fruits of accomplishment. While many of the branches have finished their growth and are distributing their fruits among man, there are three branches which are now in blossom. I Jut do you notice the young branch whose buds are just bursting open? It represents the largest class which has ever entered Hope - the class which is well represented in all school activities and goes into them with a wonderful class and school spirit. Let us watch this class as its buds unfold and bring forth manv fruits of achievement and service. It is the class of 1930! OFFICERS Second Semester .

Into this publication we have poured our efforts, our time, and our ideas, with but a brief respite when the underclassmen took matters into their hands and displayed considerable journalistic ability. The Anchor appears faithfully every W ednesday, and every week there arc some who approve, some who laugh, some who are set to thinking, and many who criticize. We like approval, of course, and we arc thankful for constructive criticism; but what we like best to think is that almost everyone reads the Anchor, and that no matter what their reaction to it may be there would he a void in our student life if there were no student paper. And we can truly say that we have done our utmost to accomplish what to us has seemed the purpose of a publication of this kind : We have tried to record in an interesting way all the events in which we as a college are concerned : W e have fostered and sometimes suggested improvements which seem ad- visable on our campus; Realizing that laughter is necessary for a well-balanced mentality, we have not neglected the humorous for the more serious affairs of life: We have given all students opportunity to air their views, and have enjoyed receiving comments from many ; By keeping in touch with our alumni we have given to the undergraduates glimpses of the great work being done by Hope graduates: we hope that to some we have given a vision of the great deeds still to he accomplished ; We have tried to rouse a more loyal and enthusiastic school spirit among the studentry by emphasizing athletic contests; By recording all the school affairs and the social and personal activities of the students, we have attempted to instill in them a feeling of greater fellowship; We have from time to time printed articles of literary merit written by our fellow students; And we hope that we have advertised our college favorably to other schools and to everyone interested in Hope College. Although we have, humanly, failed to realize our highest ideals, we hope and feel that the Anchor is playing a part, in our school life, that is growing steadily larger.

A survey of the annuals edited by previous classes reveals that we, the class of 1928. are editing the thirteenth. Each of the previous twelve vied with those preceding to set up for its Alma Mater the most vivid Milestone. And each class has succeeded. For has not every year found Hope passing a new milestone on the road of Success? Might not our “lucky thirteen” inspire us to realize the same desire? Hut no. although it did not hinder us. the Spirit of Hope alone could he our real incentive. This Spirit that is spurring us on is the same Spirit of Hope that prompted sturdy settlers to brave unknown dangers and hardships, that instilled in them the desire for learning which made possible our Alma Mater. It pervades our campus urging us on to meet both difficulty and opportunity with a steadfast will, to stand for the,noblest and purest manhood and womanhood. During the past year, it saw the college celebrate the COtli anniversary of its founding, complete plans for a beautiful memorial chapel, and enter upon a new athletic venture, the M. I. A. A. Silently, it has watched while numerous laurels were awarded in oratory, forensics, and athletics. Victories over selfish desires and ambitions have caused smiles of approbation; defeats have aroused expressions of pity and sympathy. The Spirit of Hope has been a faithful guardian throughout the year. The staff has spent long, wakeful hours that all this might some day be re- called to your memory. All those dear class-mates and teachers, those happy hours when all the world seemed right, those sad hours when the silver lining refused to peep through the dark cloud. If some day in the struggle for success, a look at this Milestone brings back with a warm glow tender memories of our Alma Mater, the staff of 1928 will feel amply repaid.

But God forbid that we should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ—”. W e put them for the information of others.

In the beginning of the year the V endeavors to make the students feel- at-home . and throughout the year a “V” man secures student employment for the merchants and townspeople. Kach year the Y with the aid of the Y. Y. C. A., the Faculty and the Student Body have supported financially. Hope Hostel, a branch of Hope High School in India. During week-ends and vacation periods, Gospel Teams arc sent out. Also this year, besides supplying substitute Sunday School teachers in the local churches, the Y , assisted by the Y. V. C. A., maintained three Sunday Schools in the outlying districts of the city. Then, too, the Ili-Y conference at Jackson was partially supplied with discussion leaders from our group. An innovation this year was the retreat , which the Cabinet experienced preparatory to our Annual W eek of Prayer. The W eek of Prayer, conducted by Dr. Robert P. Wilder, one of the founders of the Student Volunteer Movement, was a great spiritual blessing. The heart of the Y. M. C. A. is the Tuesday evening prayer meetings. Here the Christian spirit upon the campus is seen at its best and from here arises many a resolve to live a larger and better life in the Master. The cabinet, consisting of thirteen men, is the machinery of the Y . This group meets every Monday evening for the purjx sc of discussing student problems and transacting the busi- ness of the Association. Pane Eighly-two R. X'at tress, R. Damstra. I.. Mossard. I..

Each one of them would feel that something precious and very worthwhile was lacking in her life. I low eagerly we look forward to that one golden hour on Thursday evening of each week, when we meet together to worship (lod in peace and reverence. “Come ye apart and rest awhile —that's what “Y means to every active member. Amid the rush and confusion of school life, all duties are laid aside so that our souls may be refreshed with spiritual blessings. I'he Y. W. C. A. affords happy fellowship with all of the girls on the campus. It is there that we feel each other's need and we share together our joys and sorrows in the true bond of friendship. Recreation, too, has its part in the program. What fun and pleasure of a wholesome kind we have had at the Annual Beach Parties and the many Get- together Parties! The Y. V. C. A. means service too—not only the smaller services here on the campus, but the larger services which reach beyond these limits. The Christmas boxes which we send to the children in the Mission Schools give them a taste of the real Christmas joys. The Gosj el Teams, visiting the different Churches and towns, try to bring the Spirit of Christ into the lives of many people. We have caught a glimpse of “The Gleam right here on Hope's Campus and now we are trying to send the glimmers on to make others happy t(K). The Y. . C. A. means the best that there is on our Campus. In “Y” we learn to find ourselves, our friends, and God. The aim of the Y. W. C. A. is to make Jesus Christ our Personal Friend. Following closely our Master, we will become better women liner, purer, nobler. Then, like the golden sunlight which casts its cheerful rays about us, we. the Young Women’s Christian Association, may shine too and teach others about that “Greatest Light and “Source of all joy”.

The Council is composed of nine members: two Seniors, besides the presi- dent of the Senior Class, who automatically becomes the president of the Student Council: two Juniors; two Sophomores; and two Freshmen. These members are elected by their respective classes at the beginning of each school year. Meetings are held every two weeks and special sessions arc called by the president. The Student Council functions as an organized representative group, whose duty is to promote all student activities. In that capacity the Council takes charge of the annual Tug of W ar, the Freshmen Rules, Cap Night, the Honor Code, and the Point System. The Point System has been somewhat revised and. after a student vote, the Honor Code has again been retained. The Oratorical and Debating Leagues are also entirely financed through the Council. The Cooperation given by the student body is commendable and is greatly appreciated by the Student Council.

A. of our College through the medium of the Gosj cl Team has been very satisfactory during its recent work in the outlying districts of Holland. Although no definite statement can he made on such a work as can he on most any other, we feel that we have not failed and that the Master has guided us through all our difficulties and exploits in such a vital and personal work among the youth of our day. We can. however, say that encouraging reports have come in through our kind friend and solicitor Mr. Metzger of the Grand Rapids Y. M. C. A.- that he has seen marked changes in communities that we have visited and feels that the young people have been stirred up to thinking about the higher and better things of life, if not to the acceptance of a life in the Lord Jesus. Our trips have involved a goodly number of services for the Sunday School, Christian Endeavor, and Church in general, in which rich experiences were gotten by both friends and team members alike. Sunday trips were made to Hudsonville. Hamilton, West Olive, Ninth Reformed Church. Central Reformed Church. Immanuel Reformed Church of Grand Rapids, Second Reformed Church of Kal- amazoo, Grandvillc, and East Overisel: and regular week-end trips were made to Kent City, Sand Lake.

The universal aim of the Gospel teams is to reach High School girls in the small community. s a preliminary step we attempt to establish a feeling of comradeship. By means of this social contact the team proceeds to the more delicate step of ascertaining the aspirations and ideals of the girls. When good fellowship reigns supreme and the trust of the girls has been secured it is not a difficult task to give them a new conception of life and its vast opportunities. The girls of the teams have reached the realization that true greatness con- sist� in true magnanimity. )nly as we set- these High School girls as our sisters, can we attain our goal.

Heneveld Student Volunteers Forty years ago four men. with the faith and vision of the four of two thousand years ago who brought their sick to the Master, formed the Mission Hand out of which sprang the present Student Volunteer group. For years messengers of Hope have gone out from this Hand to the uttermost parts of the world with the Gospel tidings and have brought much honor to the name of Hope. The present Band aims at nothing less than the vision of these missionary pioneers, and. to that end. they have carried out an extensive program which makes the members able to better cope with the problems of the foreign field. Further, they have tried to permeate the missionary spirit throughout the sur- rounding communities by means of deputation work. The Volunteer with the watchword “The Fvangeli .ation of the World in This Generation goes forth to prove that: In Christ there is no Fast or West, In I lint no South or North.

It has deepened our spiritual life; it has given us courage to go forward; and it has strengthened our calling.

The club was organized to promote good fellowship among those students who are interested in science. The regular programs consist of papers on some phase of medicine, after which, informal discussions are held. Kadi year several visits are made to the larger hospitals in W estern Michigan to familiarize the personnel of the society with various phases of hospital work. During the last year the club has been fortunate in being able to attend meetings t the t)ttawa County branch of the American Medical Association.

It was organized with the idea in mind that it should take in all the branches of science on the campus. It is therefore the aim of the club to gather together men of varied ambitions, thus giving the club the atmosphere of cosmopolitanism. The heads of the various departments of science have shown interest in the club and have given their whole-hearted support to the project. Candidates for membership must be Juniors who have the required number of credits in the science department and have shown keen interest in the furtherance of science.

The Class of 1927 has never shown any dampening of its enthusiasm since its entrance into Hope Activities. It lias always tried to attain the highest ideals. This is the main purpose and the outstanding feature of our organization to- gether with the preservation and the upholding of the dignity of Senior men on the campus. The Kurfew Klub has aided greatly to instill into the hearts and con- sciences of the underclassmen a greater Hope Spirit of Loyalty, Friendship, and Enthusiasm. The Freshmen have been the main object of the efforts and consideration. At each meeting several of our younger I lope brothers were taught the essentials •of conduct and their place of service on the campus. t the games the Kurfew Spirit was very evident. The cheers and the pep •of the members were worthy of the envy displayed by the other classes. It is the sincere desire of the Kurfew Klub of 1927 that their successors •will carry on and uphold the ideals set forth this year.

The club has worked and as a result they can vie with the best clubs in the State. Their training has produced clearest diction, sublime harmony, and almost perfection in ensemble singing. The Club has made a tour through the Fast, of four weeks duration, sing- ing in New York Churches and in one of the biggest Churches in Washington. I). C. They were acclaimed everywhere with highest applause and commendations on their line work. The trip was a very successful one and has brought the Fast nearer Mope. They have created a fine feeling toward the college on the part of the people with whom they have come in contact. Besides these successive concerts in the I'.astern Reformed Churches, they have given a home concert, which won them new praise. The Club expects to enter the State Girls' Glee Club Contest again this year, and with Mrs. Fenton’s able and very efficient leadership they have high expectations of winning first place.

Under the supervision of Mrs. Kenton, the club decided to make no public performances or concerts. Its sole aim is entirely centered in training and pre- paring it new members for future entrance into the Girls’ Glee Club.

Much credit is due .Miss Margaret Ilondelink, the Director of the Quartette. Miss Ilondelink. the only girl trumpeter on the campus, took charge of the new venture, and in September, 1925. began to train the other members of the quartette. The Hope Trumpeters made few public appearances during the first year of their organization. During the present year, however, they have played more extensively, pro- viding the music for various meetings and religious services both in 1 lolland and in neighboring towns. In June, two of the trumpeters and the quartette accompanist will be grad- uated. but others will take their places and the I lope Trumpet Quartette will be an established organization on the campus.

The orchestra has achieved a place among the accomplishments of Hope College, and represents to the student body its efforts to develop one of the greatest of all arts. The object of the organization is to promote the appreciation and understanding of orchestral music among the members, and to further the musical interests of the college. This year the orchestra has been exceptionally successful. It has a large membership and a well-balanced collection of instruments. Under the splendid supervision of John Lloyd Kollen it has given programs on several occasions, and supplied for various outside activities. The past year has been not only enjoyable but also instructive to each of the members. Director OFFICERS President............................... Pice-President..........................

Mrs. Durfee. the coach, has worked faith- fully and has again proved that her method of letting each character analyze his own part is not only a great help to the student but also very effective. The story weaves itself about the progressiveness of John Paul Bart, a tailor’s apprentice, in the shop of Mr. Huber. Here we find him intimately connected with Tanya. Mr. Huber’s daughter, and Dr. Sonntag. Through pe- cular circumstances he comes in contact with Mr. Nathan, a financier, at a re- ception held at the Stanlaw residence. His popularity is phenomenal, yet not to his credit. His appointment as Mr. Nathan’s secretary follows. However, his disguise is soon known. He confesses all and returns to the Tailor Shop. But ambition must be rewarded and a conventional ending must follow, conse- quently he is appointed to the chair of the Profit Sharing Department of Nathan’s Corporation. Excellent acting on the part of Raymond Smith as the“Tailor-Made Man”, a correct portrayal of Tanya by Madge Rooks and a very dramatic cast cooperating with the leading actors insured a successful presentation.

Make our love for Sibylline ever new” Sibylline has inspired its members with worthy ideals of the life abundant, the enrichment of the mind, and the sanctification of the spirit. Guided by the spirit of Sibylline, each Sibyl has given her choicest efforts in achievements for Sibylline and for her Alma Mater. Thus, we feel that the spirit of Sibylline has led us into a deeper appreciation of the spirit of Hope. We have experienced great joy in the companionship of those united by common interests and aspirations. Bound together by the search for knowledge, for appreciation of the beautiful in the world, and for the development of com- plete and well-rounded lives, we have worked together seeking the fulfillment of our ideals. Many and true are the friendships we have formed, and many and glorious are the good times we have had while thus earnestly striving together for Sibylline and 1 lope.

Hundreds of men have gone into life, better fitted to meet the victories and defeats, because they too have received the F. S. Spirit. It is this F. S. Spirit; this spirit of Love, Friendship, and Truth which has to such a great extent ennobled our college friendships. But we hold in reverence the memory of those who in 1834 laid upon solid rock the foundations of this league of moral and intellectual friendship. Truly, they were men “who wrought with greatest care each minute and unseen part”. With these thoughts of the past creeping into our minds; the heart of every Frater beats a little faster as he looks forward to the Centennial of F. S. to be celebrated in 1934. Holding such ideals uppermost in our mind, we pray that the future may lend an enduring esteem to friendship, that new laurels may be won for our Alma Mater and that the Kingdom of God may he advanced in the world. The glorious past challenges us to a life of greater service in the future. OFFICERS President ____ Vice-President Secretary .... Treasurer ...

N'ykkkk Oratory For a period of nearly twenty-five years. I)r. John Xykerk has distinguished himself by placing before the oratorical public, speakers of the highest caliber. During that time he has brought back to his Alma Mater more high point honors than any other coach in the Michigan Oratorical League. Three times national honors have come to Hope College as a result of Dr. Xykerk's coaching. In a period of eleven years, seven men have finished first for our college while in the women’s contest a record of five first place honors has been made. At the annual contest held at Olivet, March 4. 1927, the Hope College speakers succeeded in placing well up in front with the other competing M. O. L. Orators. The affair was keenly contested and was an excellent exhibition of speaking for an appreciative audience. Although no Glory Day was held this year. Hope College may be justly proud of its two great orators. Miss Sandrcne Scliutt and Mr. Russell D. Damstra. Page One Hundred Thirty Miss Sandrene Schutt’s oration entitled, ‘On Such A Full Sea Are We Now Afloat.” presented a complete review of the crime situation in America.

Damstra Miss Sandrkne Schltt I’age One Hundred Thirty-one “On Such a Full Sea Are We Now Afloat” By Miss Sandrexe Scih'tt Awarded second place in the Michigan Oratorical Contest for II'omen Let us call him Jack I Hack this active, intelligent, likable boy who ad- ventured on the 'open road’ almost by accident, the world tempting him on. He took whatever he wanted, learned the habits and resources of vagrancy and vice, and after thirty years of a reasonably successful life of crime, he found- -that it didn’t pay. 11 is case is common in our mobile, restless civilization—almost typical. A horde of criminals overruns the country. Perhaps, this very after- noon in your city, there are twenty, thirty Jack Blacks planning some crime. The Chicago Crime Commission says, Crime is an established business—cen- tralized, organized, commercialized. It is as steady as the auto industry. It is not the result of poverty, but the plain choice of the majority who follow it.” Before we proceed we may well question: What are the facts pertaining to the prevalence of crime in our country? Exaggerations such as, “America is the most lawless nation in the world”, We have reached the mountain peak of crime” cannot and should not be taken seriously. Though there arc no abso- lutely trustworthy statistics, some may serve as a basis for an approximate estimate of facts. The recent Biennial Report of commitments to prisons of the United States, made by the Census Bureau at Washington notes a decrease in lesser crimes—disorderly conduct, larceny, public intoxication, and burglary: but an increase in grosser crimes—rape, forgery, homicide, and robbery. Viola- tion of liquor and drug laws has also increased, but we doff the hat and bend the knee to Robbery, mighty King of Crime. It is the safest and most profitable form of criminal activity. The sensational character of the crime gives it its terroristic glamor. With loosely-guarded pay rolls; rich jewelry displayed in the streets; the automatic gun to paralyze the victim; the auto at the curb to insure a quick get-away—are you surprised that young dare-devils arc attracted to the busi- ness? The lure is the gamble of the game! All this is nothing new. Open the scroll of history to 1828 and in an old periodical you will read. “Today no virtuous public sentiment frowns upon the criminal to shame him into secrecy. Let another half century pass in our present indifference and existing evils will have attained a strength never to be over- powered.” Both the fact of crime and the alarm accompanying it are an integral part of our history. The truth is, our country presents a chronic condition of criminality far transcending that found anywhere in Western Europe or Canada. Exactly how much our homicide rate, scale of burglary, and of robbery exceed that of Great Britain we do not know, but to know would not add to our pride. With each successive spasm over the crime situation, causes have been as-, signed and remedies proposed. Again we ask What arc the causes for this Page One Hundred Thirty-two criminal out-burst? The present crime wave is co incident with the Golden Age of Prosperity. We have more wealth, power, influence, more movies than our neighbors. Why not more crime? Much of it grows from the go-getting spirit. Young America wants to do; he does not stop to think. The ubiquitous automo- bile has increased crime. Men mortgage homes to get motors: boys borrow and steal them. Crime is attributed to every cause- dancing mothers, movies, lack of recreation, too much leisure, too lax immigration laws, the Volstead Act. A partial explanation lies in the increasing luxury accompanied by an increasing need for money and the disinclination of the American youth for honest labor. But the most potent factor is the lack of law enforcement! Sixteen years ago, President Taft significantly said. “The administration of the criminal law in the United States is a disgrace to civilization. The American Bar Association asserts that the law fails, absolutely and ludicrously fails, in the conviction of criminals. Crime commissions, lawyers, and judges pronounce the administration of our criminal laws a farce—a joke! Recently, a newspaper cartoon pictured justice roped to the stake by long delays, court congestion, technicalities, easy bail, false sentiment, and broken parole while the smirking burglar, pistol in hand, brazenly walked off with the spoils. Yes, the law protects the criminal! Legal loopholes are without limit! It takes only one Thaw case, one Loeb-I.copold case to convince citizens that jus- tice is for sale! Justice for sale? No!! The unscrupulous criminal lawyer and judge are for sale! Now what have we done, what are we going to combat the enemy? The staple American remedy has been to add judges, create more courts. A New York legislator demands the whipping-post and lynch law. Chambers of Com- merce. Bankers Association urge that citizens arm themselves and receive rewards for killing bandits at sight. Thus, we preach the sacredness of law and in the same breath dishonor it. Not by such mad-house methods as these has Kngland in the past established her reign of law and order. Neither shall we! In assigning causes and projjosing remedies we have made a fundamental mistake. We have not delved deeply enough. We have mistakenly supposed that the criminal's motive in crime is material gain. Note the crimes in the daily papers the petty prize for which dangerous deeds were committed strikes you as ridiculous. Loch and Lcojxdd— they took a life to get a thrill! The criminal wants to splurge— to l c seen, heard, envied! In a corner of some obscure restaurant he chuckles with satisfaction over the lurid tale of last night's robbery, lie had planned a surprise party and got away with it. And now he is read about, talked about, marvelled at—clever Big Man—secretly admired by many— hailed as a hero by the alley urchins who will some day emulate him. No! The criminal does not consider crime a Baying Proposition , does not think that he can “get by , and in the end be so much ahead. Jack Black, thirty years a criminal, says. Half my thirty years in the underworld was spent Page Oi e Hundred Thirty-three in prison. Suffering! Hardship! Privation! Say, I handled $50,000 in the time I was outside—that’s about nine dollars a day—how much of that went to lawyers, bondsmen, fixers?” Xo, crime doesn’t pay. “You Can’t Win!” Nevertheless crime flourishes. Why. then, does a criminal commit crime? For the same reason that a cigarette fiend smokes or that a man addicted to alcohol drinks. The criminal is socially diseased—the leper of civilization! Strikingly enough, forty to fifty percent of recent criminals have old criminal records. Why? They were addicted to the crime habit. Perhaps, after the first crime, they promised themselves they’d settle down; before they knew it, crime had enmeshed them in slavish bonds. Yet every year we turn them loose on society, to work more harm and havoc. A prisoner’s guilt or innocence of the particular crime with which he is charged, is not of primary importance. The great issue is—will he he menace society; the same must be done with incurable criminals. The public must unite in demanding segregation of the criminal. Protecting the community is more important than alleviating the self-incurred suffering of one individual. Something must and can be done to reduce crime! America need not despair. England’s condition several years ago was strik- ingly like that of America today. Then she was one of the worst crime-ridden countries in the world. Now, in England, punishment is a deterrent. It follows swiftly and surely. There are no long delays. To indemnify bail is a crime in itself. A criminal is entitled to one appeal, and one only. There are no second trials. The English law prohibits the sale of pistols, except to a few authorized to bear them. The efficiency and integrity of the police force are of a high order. The public regards crime as a disgrace. There is a general sentiment for stern, swift enforcement of law. What England has done. America can do! Crime must be made so difficult that the criminal can't “get by” for even a short period. We have met increased judicial business, by multiplying officials, not by reorganizing the administration. No one would consent to use the stage-coach in place of the automobile or to ride “along the pavement of progress by the light of a candle”, yet we cling to the antiquated original in criminal jurisprudence. Is it not time we made over this moth-eaten legal apparel? The apprehension and conviction of the criminal must be made certain! The forces of law and order must organize themselves into a nation-wide war against crime. If crime is an organization, organization must put it down. That the movement is under way is evidenced by Chicago Crime Commissions and the Cleveland Association for criminal justice. But while we solve the crime wave of the ’twenties, the criminals of the ’thirties are in the making. We find them in the streets and allays, sadly neglected by home, church, and school. We find them, pampered and spoiled, in the homes of the idle rich. Why center all our anxiety upon the criminal of today? Ef- fective law enforcement will settle him. We must turn our attention to the new generation. Pace One Hundred Thirty-four The child instinctively imitates. Certainly, then the exhibition of crime in moving pictures must he curbed. The publishing of lurid, attractive accounts of crimes in newspapers must be stopped! Crime must he pushed from the lime- light into the background. Do you wonder that the perverted publisher’s glori- fied picture of crime sinks into the mind of the innocent child, falsely teaching that crime is a life of ease and greatness? The lie is inexcusable! it is the unpardonable sin! Not fear of the gallows, but training hacked by habits will make a child a law-abiding citizen. Teach a child law and order. Show him true American ideals; instil in him, above all, the principle of honor—‘‘Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, teach him to think on these things.” Surely, the darkness of the hour is the promise of dawn. The fact that the public is alarmed, that scarcely a magazine is without an article on crime, are hopeful omens. A nation, aroused, awakened, has brought about reform before! It will bring about reform again! At present we lead the civilization in crime; may we soon lead it in the wise treatment and prevention of crime. Let us not become discouraged. Let us work to win. As true Americans, let us assume the prophet's mantle and say— “1 announce what comes after me, I announce justice, triumphant.” In the Channel Page One Hundrea Thirty five Still to Conquer By Russell I). Damstra Awarded Second Place in the Michigan Oratorical Contest for Men One of the most interesting phases of our national history is the story of the American frontier. From the Atlantic seaboard to the Pacific coast our civilization has advanced, slowly at times, yet always advanced. Kvery city or village in this great country has its own particular history of pioneer life— the hardships encountered, the victories won. the ambitions stifled, and the hopes achieved. We too soon forget the virility and determination which these men and women must have possessed : we fail to let our imagination wander to the time when towering trees stood where now we see smokestacks and skyscrapers, to the time when Indian trails ran where now we see beautiful concrete highways. Of what sturdy stock they must have been who first penetrated the dense forests and scaled the lofty mountains! But the frontier is no more. Gone the traces of pioneer life, gone the natural barriers, gone the desolation of the wild! The rise of great cities where commerce and industry go hand in hand; the vast productive fields; the thousands of institutions of religion, education, and benevolence—all express the purposeful determination of the fathers who founded this Republic. With hope and vision they set out to conquer, and they conquered. Today the outlook is different. To be sure, there are rivers still to be spanned, cities to be built, desert places to be changed into fruitful gardens; but today, our chief task is not the conquest of physical nature, it is the conquest of human nature. We deal with passions that arc stronger than the swiftest rivers, with habits that seem insurmountable. The hate men bear one another still causes the vision of a future war to hover over us like a spectre. There is, in our country, an open defiance of law by a criminal element that is often in collusion with, and protected by, public officials for political advantage. We find that while problems of production are largely solved, greed and avarice prevent an equitable distribution. The divorce evil is gnawing at the pillars of the home; disease is following in the wake of loose moral conditions. All these things point to the fact that, although lie has made the laws of the universe subject to his power, man is still untamed; lie can give a detailed scientific explanation of himself, but of his own spirit, he knows little, that same spirit that enabled our trail-blazing fathers to dare the terrors of the uncharted wilderness. I’ane One Hundred Thirty-six “ e are all blind until we see. That in the human plan Nothing is worth the making If it does not make the man. hy build wc cities glorious, I f man unbuildcd goes ? In vain we make the plan, unless The builder also grows.’’ Our most urgent problems center in human personality: hence, external means alone will not solve them. Laws, wc think, can cure all ills, but of what avail are laws unless they are supported by public opinion, the thing Lord Bryce calls the dominating agency in American government ? Laws relating to pro- hibition, crime, divorce, will help little when the root of the trouble lies in the distortion of the human will. In desperation wc turn to knowledge, thinking that if men would only know the facts evils would vanish; but we find that while knowledge throws light on our problems, knowledge does not solve them. Men have known of the evils of war for centuries, but did that stop wars? Woodrow Wilson has said that, it is not knowledge that moves the world, but ideals, convictions, the opinions or fancies that have been held or followed. The great need in America, my friends, is that there should be a re-dis- covery of the human will. I wish there were a magic word to express the fact that man is the source of power, but not subject to power; that character is not a product of man’s circumstance, but a sign of man s mastery over circumstance. We must harness this greatest of all forces, the human will, for in tin- control of it lies the influence, power, happiness, and welfare of our beloved America. Directed will power! By that sign we conquer. Three realms stand out in which the need for will power is imperative. We need, first of all, the will to appreciate. In an age of science and materialism we are apt to judge only those, things that can be touched, tasted, and handled: while some of the higher values are neglected, 'flic popular slogan is. Follow the crowd. Whether it leads to a boxing match or to church, follow the crowd. Follow the crowd to cheap movies, for the crowd ignores the best plays produced on stage and screen. Follow the crowd to a magazine stand ; read Macfadden’s trashy journals, for the crowd doesn't care for first-class magazines. certain village in our country had intended to erect, a memorial to that great benefactor, Louis Pasteur; but when Rudolph Valentino died, a memorial was erected to him instead. Think of it ! no comparison in the good that these two men have accomplished, yet the lesser was preferred to the greater. In all candor, 1 ask you. do the American people as a whole try to appreciate classics in art. litera- ture. and music? Is there a desire to read those gems of human thought that have been penned by master thinkers in all ages? Are people interested in the affairs of the nation and of the world, or arc private pleasures their chief concern? One HimJrtd Thirty-seven Unquestionably a lack of appreciation for higher values is evident. Two things men have always desired: leisure and liberty, but that man who has leisure and liberty without appreciation, is like a lunatic in a high-powered motor car. “Enlarge the place of thy tent.” said the old Hebrew prophet, and that is just what we should do. We need to enlarge Our scope of interest, of sympathy, and of appreciation. The will to be responsible is another stirring need existent in our country today. A clever journalist crystallized the thought of many on this subject when she said. The longer 1 live, the less 1 blame anybody for anything.” The phil- osophy of Clarence Harrow is very popular because it is so comfortable to blame our faults on our ancestors, our environment, yea. our glands; but how we hate to take the blame ourselves! We arc prone to believe that we are mere automatons tossed about by the winds of chance. ()ur fathers would have laughed at this strange doctrine; our fathers believed that success was due to vision, de- termination. and will power. Nor must we discard individual responsibility. Ix t us continue to believe that each one of us is responsible for his own life, his neighbor’s condition, and the work of the world. We still need fathers, mothers, school teachers, and officials, who feel responsible for their charges. Then, when a final account is taken of this generation, may it never be said of us that we did not care, that we did not even have enough will power to feel responsible. We need, in the third place, the will to be fair. We must approach our prob- lems with an eye for the truth and with a controlling purpose to make right pre- vail. My friends, when we deal with facts, we cannot compromise. If America is to maintain her respect at home and her influence abroad, she must maintain a standard of absolute justice. In industry, in education, in government, we cannot afford to let selfishness and prejudice sidetrack us from the path of honor. And now. friends, especially young friends, in this problem of the re- adjustment of the human will, as in other problems, America needs leaders. It is not on the street that such leaders will be found, but in groups such as have gathered here tonight. Hail to the leaders of men, the sovereigns by grace of God, Who flinch not and fear not to venture where none before them have trod.” Our country tonight is calling for an intelligent leadership, 'file very lack of individual appreciation, individual responsibility, and individual honor, shows this only too plainly. America is calling for seers, for prophets, for men of courage, and the call comes strongest of all to us. Are you willing to take the part of a leader, to champion a cause not yet popular, to bear the stigma of scoffers and even friends, to take a stand in the schoolroom, in the courtroom, in the pulpit, and on the platform,—all with one great motive, to help men to conquer themselves? Do 1 hear dissenting voices? 1 fancy you smile and say that the human will cannot be changed: that appreciation, responsibility, and honesty, cannot be Page One Hundred Thirty-eight taught. These things, you say, must take care of themselves. But, friends, there were dissenting voices when our pioneer forefathers first pushed into the American wilderness; there were dissenting voices when the abolition of slavery was mentioned; there are dissenting voices whenever any great constructive move- ment is launched. But were these things allowed to take care of themselves? Was slavery allowed to take care of itself? Was the liquor traffic allowed to take care of itself? 'o, indeed; men and women shared the responsibilities, men and brought about success. Xow today, in the fight for will power, the same individual effort is necessary. However, we can say with Lincoln that we need not fight our battles alone; we, too. have a God who is tremendously con- cerned in the triumph of the right. Our concern is to do our part. In General Custer’s last battle, he and every one of his 264 brave soldiers were killed by a superior force of Sioux Indians; truly, a tremendous defeat. 'I'he story is told of Custer, that as he lay dying, he turned his face towards the east and smiled, knowing that out of the east would come others who would take up the struggle where he had failed. Custer had good reason to believe that out of the east conquerors would come, because that is an American tradition. al- ley Forge, Gettysburg, Flanders Fields, all ring with the spirit of conquerors. These patriots may not always have been victorious, but they were victorious in this: they fought their battles looking to the east, looking to us. Even yet they are saying: “To you, from fallen hands, we throw 'I'he torch ; be yours to hold it high. Where is your torch? Arc you holding it high? Sunset Page One Hundred Thirty-nine Debating The Hope Debating Squad has been singularly successful in forensic con- tests during the past season. Coached by Professor I. Lubbers, they have de- veloped a verbal punch and sidestep combination so adroit that opposing teams were baffled by their logic and clever presentation. Thus far. with debates still scheduled with Olivet and Michigan Central State Normal School, they have suffered only one defeat and have won four victories beside taking part in a non- decision contest. •The proposition used as subject for debate was the timely question. Re- solved: That this house endorses the governmental principles of Mussolini. In most instances, the affirmative based its case upon the material and economic success of the Italian government and the social advancement made through the workings of the principle of nationalism, maintaining that principles which have accomplished such benefits are worthy of endorsement. The negative doubted this prosperity and explained further that principles which destroy personal liberty, which erect an unstable dictatorship, and which endanger world peace are not worthy of endorsement.

Vane One Hundred Forty three Pi Kappa Delta The national fraternity of Pi Kappa Delta now has a chapter firmly estab- lished among ns, although in times past it seemed as if the chapter would be taken away due to the heavy graduation losses. The membership in the past few years has been small, but the past year was a most successful one for the fraternity and the future looks brighter than ever before. Debating and oratory have for the past four years been under the control of Pi Kappa Delta and by the control of the fraternity have been led into ever widening fields, and with this growth have brought ever growing glory to the Alma Mater, a glorious fulfillment of the principles of persuasion, beauty, and justice. Those people who have taken part in one collegiate debate or who have represented their college in an oratorical contest are eligible for membership in the fraternity. Thus Pi Kappa Delta is purely honorary and is constantly work- ing for the betterment of forensics at Hope College.

Basketball, or Track. have won the respect and admiration of the college, independent, and professional teams. Because of the lack of proper cooperation I loj e’s Football record has been on a sort of a 50-50 basis. Conflicting Laboratory classes, sev- eral curricular duties and the small number of Football enthusiasts who report for Football each year practically sums up the number of obstacles that Coach Jack” Schouten has to contend with during each Football season. Conditions arc being bettered each year. “Red Cornwall, formerly half-back at Kazoo Normal, assisted Coach Schouten in developing his practically all lower classmen squad. The admission of Mope College into the M. I. A. A. conference games will provide Mope with the best of football opposition. With the return of practically the entire 1926 squad, prospects look bright for a 1927 season and Mope should make her debut into M. I. . A. football ranks especially commendable. W hen it comes to Baseball. Mope’s colors soar to the skies. Coach Schouten is in his glory when his efficiently coached squad makes it - appearance on the diamond. Iiach year Mope’s ten to twelve game baseball schedule calls for games only with the strongest college and Independent teams both within and out of the State. Page One Hundred Forty-seven Coach John Sc hoc ten Basketball seems to be the center of most intense interest on tin Hope Col- lege campus. Coach Schouten has always produced teams of highest calibre, and never in the history of Schouten coached teams have more than fifty per cent of the games been lost. The 1925 team played and won from the most rep- resentative state colleges and because of this brought the laurels of a State Basketball Championship to Hope College. The 1927 record was commendable because the squad constituted all lower classmen with the exception of one Junior. Hojjc’s interest now is directed toward claiming an M. I. A. A. championship since her admission into M. 1. A. A. ranks. Because of the lack of proper facilities Hope College does not favor all forms of track. The only form Hope stresses to any extent is cross-country. Each year Hope is represented at the Inter-collegiate Cross-Country Meet held at East Lansing. In all the meets attended Hope has never placed lower than fifth and in the 1924 season Hope was awarded a third place. Interest in Intra- mural and Inter-collegiate track is growing continually each year. In the 1926 season pluvious weather inhibited the plans for an inter-class meet from being completed. Hope's M. I. A. A. Schedule will call for several meets with the colleges included in that organization. I’age One Hundred Forty-eight X. Van Oostenburg Prof. Iliiikainp Coach Schoutcn M.

The Board of Control is responsible for Hope’s entrance into the M. 1. . A. this school year. This Hoard also passed upon the eligibility of the players. The Athletic Hoard, the student organization, experienced the re-assumption of many of its duties this year. The coach was relieved of much of the work which by right should have been taken care of by the students. The students are now aware of the responsibilities which are theirs, and the coach ha more time for the execution of his office of Athletic Director. The Athletic Board presented a number of “Fun Xites which proved enter- taining for the audience and profitable for the Board.

The first few scrimmages revealed a wealth of material in both the Sophomore and Freshman Classes. The 1926 Eleven can be cited as the rudimentary team for Hope College football. Although Hope has had teams worthy of commendation in the past, the future holds still more for her. This year’s team, largely composed of Freshmen and Sophomores, who have had previous football experience, should develop into a winning Eleven capable of upholding the Orange and Blue in the M. I. A. A. games next season. Hope’s admission into the M. I. A. A. should result in keen competition with the other colleges and a re-arousal of the old Hope pep and fighting spirit. Pase One Hundred Fifty two Football Review HOPE 24 — FLINT JUNIOR COLLEGE 0 I lope College started the Football Season auspiciously by defeating the Flint Junior college 24 to 0. Flint tailed to make her downs repeatedly. Hope's team showed up very well for a team composed of four veterans and seven new men. comparatively green in collegiate football. Plays calling for straight football were used almost entirely throughout the game, only a few passes from Japinga to Kleis being attempted and completed. Kleis, I lope’s right half-back, starred continually with his breaking through the line and his long end runs. The scoring was started by Kleis who succeeded in putting the ball across after a forty yard run. The second touchdown in the first half was made by Xettinga on a line plunge for seventeen yards. Scoring was started in the last half by “Russ” Japinga after a smash about a foot from the goal. Kleis made the final touch-down after Hope worked the ball to Flint’s fifteen yard line. Hope failed to kick goal after each touchdown. R. Japinga A. Cook A. Van her Bush Page One Hundred Fifty-three H. Japinga P. Nett INC a C.

Ho|k played good football but did not threaten Albion's goal until late in the fourth quarter. During the first quarter of the game both teams resorted to kicking on the first or second down. Russ” Japinga out-punted the Albion kickers, getting off several long punts. No touchdowns were made until the second quarter, when Albion took the ball on their own 42-yard line. Line bucks and end runs by Lowry, Goldberg and Carl- son together with a ten yard pass brought the ball to Hope's five yard line. Captain W illiams went over for the touch-down and then kicked goal. Neither team appeared to have the advantage in the third quarter and it was not until the final period that Albion succeeded in getting two more touch-downs, one by means of a fumble and the other as a result of a misplay by a Hope back-field man who caught the ball and attempted a place-kick on the goal line. 1 lope was forced to kick out of danger and the ball went only 22 yards, putting Albion in a position to make the final touch-down.

Mope fumbled the ball on her 20-yard line. Detroit recovered and. following a 15-yard penalty. Yeskelety scored the three points that enabled her to win the game. Hope clearly out-played the heavier team in the first half. Costly fumbles and bad breaks prevented her from scoring. After the second kick-off Detroit attempted a second place-kick, blit failed. In the second quarter Hope combined a brilliant overhead and running attack. Passes from Japinga to Kleis, Japinga to Van Lente and Japinga to ©vcrweg and long runs by Van Zanden enabled Hope to reach De- troit's 10-yard line, hut a fumble prevented I lope from scoring. t the end of the second half the ball was on Detroit's 3-yard line. Detroit played a strong offensive game in the third quarter, making their downs in the first two plays. Detroit forced their ball to Hope’s 10-yard line but fumbled and Hope punted out of danger. Hope battled desperately to overcome the 3-0 score in the last half by an aerial attack. Passes from Xettinga to Japinga. Xettinga to Kleis. Japinga to an Lente netted ground, but Hope tailed to gain their yards in the last few plays and Detroit punted out of danger. Hope played pretty football throughout the game, allowing only three first downs to Detroit and gaining nine first downs for herself. I K )PH 0 — KALAMAZOO XORMAL FRESI I.M EX 10 1‘he Kazoo Normal Freshmen furnished the next opposition for the I lope- ites. The Xormal Frosh defeated Hope 10 to 0 in a game in which the breaks were largely in Hope's favor. The teams battled desperately to a 0 to 0 score in the first quarter. Ragged playing and lack of cooperation among the members of the team permitted Kazoo to score a touch-down, a goal-kick, and a place-kick in the second quarter. The touch-down came as a result of a pas to nway. a Kazoo end. which placed the ball on Hope's 8-vard line. A series of line-bucks placed the pigskin across the Hope goal-line. Amvay kicked goal for the extra point. The Frosh's extra three points came when Amvay booted a place-kick after the ball had been forced to Hope'� 10-yard line. Kalamazoo almost suc- ceeded in getting a second touch-down when 1 iogaard intercepted a forward pass from Japinga on Kazoo's 10-yard line, and ran 70 yards before he was downed.

Hope's line was weak and the hack-field men failed to block the Kazoo passes. Japinga’s punts proved to he the I lope team's outstanding feature. HOPE 6 — JUNIOR COLLEGE 9 Junior college defeated Hope as the result of a freak play when a place- kick hy Rud Formsma was hatted over the bar by a IIoi c line-man. The two teams battled almost on even terms throughout the game. Junior’s score came in the first quarter when the hall was placed across the goal-line hy Formsma. Junior’s march toward the goal line was stopped hy I lope on her 21-yard line. Passes from Nettinga to Klay were good for first downs twice. Nettinga’s line plunging and end running placed the ball on Junior’s 8-yard line. Nettinga car- ried the hall around right end and tied the score. Nettinga picked up a fumble on Junior’s 40-yard line and ran for a touch-down, hut through a mistake hy the Referee this was not counted. Junior's three points came as a result of a freak place-kick. HOPE 6 — FINDLAY 13 The Hope College Eleven journeyed to Ohio to meet Findlay College which claims to have the best college football team in its section. This was not only the final game of the season hut also the last appearance of Captain “Eg Fell. “Ray” Gowens and “Matt” Peelen. In this encounter Hope was forced to take the small end of the 13 - 6 score. Hope received the hall and placed it on Find- lay’s 5-yard line in the first few minutes of play, but lost the hall on an intercepted pass. Findlay made their first touch-down on a freak blocked pass in the first quarter. Findlay made its second touch -down on a long end-run and kicked goal, thus making the score 13 - 0. In the second half Hope came hack strong and put the hall across within the first few minutes of play. Hope outplayed her oppon- ents in even- department of the game, hut lack of drive and inconsistent playing forced them to yield to Findlay.

Ubers, Yanden Brink, and Bovcnkerk. starred at the bat. Albers’ solid clout over the centerfield fence, and Bovenkerk's liner over third base drew loud applause from the fans. Coach Schouten is rounding Cole into form and with a little more experience Cole should be a mainstay for Hope’s 1927 team. Page One Hundred Sixty oite .DrPrf.e C. Kovkxkkrk E. Bkkkkx MOPE 2 — ST. MARY’S 6 St. Mary's air-tight pitching and heavy hitting featured the Hoi e-St. Mary’s game and Hope was defeated by the Seminarians, 6-2. Hope’s scores were made by base on balls and a timely clout by a Hope heavy hitter. This was not only the final game tor Hope but also the last appearance of I’oppcn, Albers, Stcketee, De Prce, and Yanden Brink in Hope baseball togs. The graduation of Poppeti and Albers leaves a large vacancy in I lope's pitching staff.

Captain Kleis, returning from the 1926 squad. However, he soon discovered valuable material among the substitutes, reserves, and the new men. It is asserted that Hope passed as successful a season as could Ik. expected judging from the amount of green material and inexperienced men whom Coach “Jack” Schouten had to whip into a coherent squad. In almost every game that Hope lost, the Hope men out-plaved their oppon- ents during the first half but due to lack of experience crumbled during the final period. because of his all around lloor work and consistent shooting, Captain Kleis is pronounced the outstanding offensive man. C'ook is accredited with being the outstanding defensive man because of his remarkable work as guard. Martin's offensive and defensive play has improved considerably during the past season and he was not out-jumped at center bv any opjx sing player. Ja- pinga. Van Lente, and De Pree played a good game, but each lacked experience and confidence, because of disability. Diephouse was forced to drop from the squad. Vander Hill. Klay, Prakken, and Xettinga improved 100' since the beginning of the season and Coach Schouten bases his hopes on these men for the coining season. Page One Hundred Sixty four L. Kleis R. Japinca A. Cook Basketball Review The basketball season opened at I lope with a pre-season game with the Muskegon Y Triangles. Mope fans were forced to see the Orange and I Hue bow to the more experienced team with a score of 31-27. Hope was forced to go the limit to defeat the Holers of (hand Rapid- . 18-17. After numerous substitutions Scihoutcn seemed to hit the best combination in Van Rente. Cook, Japinga. Kleis, with Prakken and Martin alternating at center. Hope celebrated New Year’s eve by defeating the Grand Rapids Bethany’s. 32-18. Hope combined a fast, short pass type of play with an occasional long shot. Captain Kleis led the scoring with six field goals to his credit. By exhibiting superior basketball Hope closed the pre-season games In de- feating the W ealthy Morals of Grand Rapids with a score of 38-21. Kleis and Cook led in the scoring with six field goals apiece. After defeating three strong independent teams in succession Hope felt pre- pared to meet her first M. I. A. A. opponent which appeared to he Olivet. The team made an auspicious debut in M. I. A. A. ranks by defeating Olivet with a score of 40-31. 1). Mari in C. Van Lkxte B.

Another conference game was dropped to Alma after a close tussle that re- quired an overtime period. The game ended with the score at 22 all. An over- time period saw the Alma team better the Hope men for three baskets and holding the ()range and Blue scoreless. The final count was 28-22. Hope avenged her two defeats by walloping Hint Junior College by a de- cisive score. 52-11. In this lop-sided contest Coach Schouten seized the oppor- tunity to give all the substitutes a chance and it was not until the final whistle blew that the Hope men ceased sinking baskets with monotonous regularity. Although running true to form Hope was unable to break through Kala- mazoo’s strong defense and suffered defeat at the hands of Coach Barnard’s team. 31-25 in a game that was featured by close guarding. Captain Klcis’ play was especially noteworthy. Martin. De Pree, and Diephouse made their appear- ancc in this encounter. Hope journeyed to East Lansing to battle with Michigan State before a crowd of nearly 3,000 spectators who jammed their way into the gym to see the touted Hope team perform. Hope cored consistently, amassing 31 points, but were outdone by the Staters’ 46. Hope’s playing was ragged due to the large floor and the loss of Cook. Xettinga, Klay. and Wander Hill made their appear- ance during the game and formed a hard fighting combination. Finally breaking the jinx of having the ball roll out of the loop. I lope found little difficulty in administering its second defeat of the season to Olivet at Mar- shall. defeating them. 33-13. Running true to form the Hope team tied Albion in the sixth Conference game. 25-25, hut lost in the five minute overtime period, 32-25. Hope presented a stonewall defense arid Albion found it extremely difficult to dribble or pass through. In the overtime period Albion caged three baskets and one foul and then resorted to stalling until the whistle blew. Kalamazoo Normal furnished the next opj osition on the Hope schedule. The Hope men appeared to be off form and finding it impossible to work their way in for close shooting resorted to long shots that failed to find the loop. In Elias and Schrump. the Mill Toppers presented two of the finest basketeers to appear on the I lope floor this season. Kazoo won this contest with a 31-19 count. Page Out Hundred Sixty-six ( . DlKI'IIOCSK Coach Schouten and company journeyed to Flint to administer the third de- cisive defeat of the season to Flint Junior College. The Mope men scored at will and amassed 58 ] oints to Flint Junior’s 11. Xettinga was the outstanding per- former. caging 7 goals and one foul. The next night Mope met St. Mary’s College at Orchard Lake- Mope's fast offense baffled the St. Mary's team and Mope ran up an 18-4 lead in the first eight minutes. St. Mary's tightened down and taking advantage of some loose playing ended the half 19-18. The final period of the game saw some of the finest basketball ever played on a Michigan court. Both teams alternated enjoy- ing a small lead at various moments. Dame Fortune smiled on the St. Mary’s team giving her the long end of the final count. 37-34. In the encounter with the Mill Topjters Hope started with a rush, caging five baskets to Kazoo Normal's one in the first ten minutes of play. I’ut Coach Read's team proved itself too strong for Mope and Coach Schouten's men were forced to suffer a 46-25 defeat. Nestor and Grein proved to be the shining lights for Kazoo Normal scoring 27 points between them. For I lope. Keis again proved to be the high point man with eight points to his credit. Cook played a commendable game at guard. I lope stepped out of its regular Collegiate schedule and met the fast 1 lolland Furnace team who defeated them. 36-28. “Dick” Japinga was the outstanding player for the Furnace team caging eight baskets. Kleis and Russ Japinga were the outstanding performers for the Mope men. Albion had to defeat Mope in order to claim an undisputed M. I. . A. Championship. I lope gave Albion the scare of their lives by leading 18-13 at the half. During the final period the Methodists unleashed an attack that any team would have been powerless to stop and it was not until the final whistle blew that the Albionites ceased sinking baskets. Mope scored only 6 points during this period thus giving Albion the deciding game. 41-24. Losing this game to Albion. Mope ties with Hillsdale for fourth place in the final M. I. A. A. standings. Mope's team amassed 580 points during the season, thus averaging 30 j oints per game. ’ !£ One Hundred Sixty-seven THE MASKET BALL RECORD FOR 1927 I lope 27 Muskegon V Triangles. . 31 Here Hope 18 Grand Rapids Botcrs... . 17 Here Hope 32 Grand Rapids Bcthanys.. . 18 There Hope 18 Wealthy Florals 71 Here 1 lope 40 ©livet College . 31 Here I lope 20 Kalamazoo College .... . 31 There Hope Alma College . 28 There Hope 52 Flint 1unior College.... . 11 Here 1lope 25 Kalamazoo College .... . 31 Here Hope 31 Michigan State College. . 46 There Hope 33 ()livet College . 13 There Hope 25 Albion College . 32 Here Hope 19 Kazoo Normal . 31 Here 1 lope 58 Flint Tr.

Coach Schouten had as a nucleus for his team: Captain George Clicquer.noi, and the 1925 Captain, Jake Kik. By the process of elimination, the squad was cut down to six men who represented the Orange and Blue at the Eleventh Annual State Inter-Col- legiate Cross-Country Meet, held at East Lansing. The men who represented Hope were: Captain Clicqucnnoi, Kik. Ritchie, Dunnewold, Popma. and Ber- kompas. Hope was awarded fifth place with a score of 126. Kik and Dunncwold won Silver medals for placing within the second ten men. The success of the 1926 team is largely due to the new equipment that was received and the interest in, and care for. the men by Coach Jack Schouten.

The promotion of four men to the Varsity left several vacant births on the Reserve Squad. These were soon filled by the basketball enthusiasts of the Freshman Class. The Basketball season was especially favorable for the Reserves, having won nine games out of their thirteen game schedule. The Reserves also brought the laurels of the City League Championship to 1 lope bv overwhelmingly defeating the Chryslers. -12-19. The Reserve schedule called for games with the Jamestown Y.

I hr man Girls’ Sweater Club A few years ago a club was organized on the campus—the Sweater Club— for the purpose of giving the girls a chance to take part in athletics. The idea in mind was to let the girls earn their sweaters, and to stimulate their interest in athletics. This they did by hiking from three to live miles each day, playing basketball, volleyball, tennis, indoor baseball, swimming, rowing, roller and ice skating, canoeing—if they paddled their own canoes—and by any form of ath- letic endeavor. At first the girls worked one year for their sweater. Now they are requested to work two years. Great enthusiasm has been shown in the club in the few years of its existence and many sweaters have been earned. Any girl is eligible to join this club in so far as she keeps her scholarship average above the eighty-five mark. Page One Hundred Seventy-four S. Schutt, M. l)c Cook, P. Ver Meer, II. Van Ess. A.

Throughout the school year they have tried to do their hit to add to the assets of the athletic fund and to add to the pep and the school spirit of the student body. Besides selling hot-dogs at the football games and frost-bites at the basketball games, they also have been in the bleachers rooting for the team. 11 money that they have made has been turned into the athletic fund to buy sweaters and equipment for the various teams.

To us it will mean the severing of many strong ties of friendship that we hold dear. But mingled with our regret is a feeling of eagerness to go on into life, to do something bigger and nobler. We are only a small class, hut our spirit and enthusiasm never sleep. In our classrooms, in our society halls, and at our parties, we have earned for our- selves the title of an active, lively class. Our four, short, happy years at the Preparatory School will linger long in our memories. May the class of '27 ever hold high Mope’s banner, ever maintaining with a steadfast purpose her ideals of honor, truth, and loyalty.

Though not many games were played, those which were played, left the team and its supix rters well satisfied. The “Prep” scpiad of this year played teams of better calibre than it has played for many years. Among the teams played were: Christian High School, Heinz, and the Ottawa Furniture Five. The team easily won the respect of all its opjxments. The “Prep” Five has been the best in years. Several of the best men will be at I lope again next year providing a nucleus for next year's team. Thus, prospects for a winning live next year look very bright. A rearousal of the fight- ing “Prep” spirit and proper backing will produce a sure winner in the coming basketball season. Page One Hundred Eighty-four Seminary Western Theological Seminary Greetings It lias indeed been a great privilege for Hope College to experience the friendship and interest which the members of the Western Theological Seminary have attached to us during the past. Though we are distinct in ourselves yet our likenesses molded together reap the benefits which both are striving for. Christ- ian character is one of the noblest attributes of all mankind and for us both to strive toward that goal weaves for us a unified endeavor. When we look at vour faculty we see a learned group of theological scholars who have been students at our college. We are also greatly attracted by the number of former Hopeites who are now pursuing life's ambition in your balls. And also to those who have never been affiliated with Hope College in any way. we extend greetings from the Hope St udent ry and would seek closer relationship with you in the future. We feel a deep sense of appreciation toward the Seminary for the privileges which have been granted to us during the previous year. We thank you for your intensified interest in our victories and for your cordial cooperation in our various activities. We sincerely hope that both institutions may follow the same course that they have always followed in the years past. Page One Hundred Highly seven John E. Kuizkxga, Picsident. Practical Theology.

There is and always has been a deep feeling of friendship between the two institutions. As students and faculty we look with keen interest upon all the activities of the college which for many ot' us is our “Alma Mater”. We watch with interest your scholastic attainments, we rejoice in your achievements in oratory and debate. Your spiritual activities are espe- cially of interest to us and we always look forward to the perennial W eek of Prayer in which we have the pleasure to participate, and to which we give our moral and spiritual support. In fact, we feel that you are a part of us and without you as a neighbor, much of our joy would be lacking. W e love your athletics and rejoice in vour victories as well as suffer in your defeats. W estern Seminary is a Post-graduate School. s such our activities are not so diverse, but to state, as some have, that the Seminary boys are prudish and proud and “drawn within their shells is not true. W e may look at life from a little more serious angle, but that is only fitting and proper as one sees the duties and res|X)nsibilitics of life which come to those who are willing to assume them. W'c consider you friends. W e look to you for continued friendship and also for recruits for the Master's Service. Page One Hundred Eighty-nine The Western rheological Seminary Orchestra That the Seminary students are interested in more than 1 ooks and Theological problems is made evident by the appearance of a small orchestra. Though the number of members is small, yet there is variety and talent enough to make a well-balanced combination. 'The orchestra has already made several public ap- ] earanccs both before the student body and before large and appreciative audiences in the neighboring towns. All members of the orchestra will be back next year when they intend to make a tour to a number of the Reformed churches in this section of the country. The faculty and student body are justly proud of this organization, and have contributed much to its success by their enthusiastic support. Under the able direction of Mr. Fryling the orchestra has worked up a variety of classical and semi-classical selections, and in addition to this, several of the members give both vocal and instrumental solos which altogether make up a very effective and entertaining program.

YOU visit your dentist regularly: you choose your dentifrice carefully, you brush your teeth faithfully And then, perhaps, you spoil it all by using an old-fashioned, inefficient tooth brush with which you couldn’t possibly brush your teeth thoroughly.

A small brush, slightly outcurved, with projecting end-tuft and widely spaced, pointed bristle-rows—all the features which dental authorities insist upon. You will be delighted with the ease with which this brush cleans oil the surfaces of all the teeth. The hard- to-reach places, the danger spots, can’t escape it.

TIIIC members of the Mope College Clee Club all joined the ranks of “Shore Liners” when they decided to use one of “The Big Yellow Coaches for their spring concert tour ibis year. Leaving on April 1, they traveled through Michigan. Illinois, and W isconsin on a two weeks tour giving concerts in seven different cities enroute. The luxurious com- fort of Shore Line motor coaches together with the careful driving of trained, intelligent men makes Shore Line chartered coaches popular with organiza- tions throughout the territory. Convenient Service to Chicago The Shore Line furnishes a convenient means of transportation be- tween western Michigan cities and the heart of the loop in Chicago. The frequency of service, reasonable rates and the connection with the Chicago South Shore and South Bend Railroad whereby an hour’s time may be saved in traveling between Michigan City and Chicago makes the Shore Line a popular means of transportation.
