Mi 11 s t it n t ubliehcb by t!]C atnittr Class 3d ape (Ltfllf e 34dlnitit. jHirhigan Foreword IF we have given you in these pages something to en- joy today and to- morrow, somethi that has imprisoned and set free the Spirit of Hope, something lasting, because it is true, something happy because it is beautiful, we have accomplished our purpose. From the Junior Class TO all those who have ever worked or play- ed or sympathized with the students of Hope, to those who will live Hope College life in these pa es, to all who look forward to the Milestone of the year. Dedication Because of his frankness and sureness in deal- ing with our possibilities and prob- lems, because he be- lieves in himself and his subject and ever lends his unstinted support and devotion to the reat cause of Education, we, the Junior Class of 1928 do affectionately dedi- cate this fourteenth Milestone to Professor Egbert Winter. li'J-Wliil i 111111u Our Campus 'fhe world boasts liner, more renowned. More smiling hill and slope,— But none are clothed in memories As dear as those of Hope. Each flowering bush. Each blade of grass. Each proud and stately tree. 'Fell to the stranger that may pass A beautiful story. Not in great wealth were these halls reared. Not in display of power.— But humbly, slowly, by those men Who would not cringe or cower To ignorance or idleness. But sought a greater dower Of knowledge built on Hope and Faith. By Hope and Faith they built And 1 lope and Faith they’ve given us— Dowry of gold not gilt. These wooded hills And gardens green Will memories hold entwined To make of the Hope Campus A jewel of its kind. E. R.

Dimnent H011. C. J. Diekma, LL. D. Mr. C. M. McLean Pant Sixteen A Word from the President “Please Stand By” These words have gotten a new meaning in our day. At one time their technical meaning was to assist, to give physical or moral support. When a vessel was in distress, another came to its rescue and “stood by” to the last possible mo- ment. Some of us remember an old hymn based on the nautical use of the phrase, —“Eor I'll Stand By Until the Morning. In a figurative sense more commonly than in the literal the phrase was used when a companion needed the presence and commendation of another and it was the part of true friendship to “stand by through thick and thin.” Here is the old military thought. When a soldier was hard pressed by his opponents and the darts were flying thick and fast, his choicest friend “stood by and. whether the arrows came thick or thin, each was by the other’s side. Radio has brought another thought to the words. One program has been finished with its effect of pleasure or tire and we are to be given another across the reaches of the air. The details are not announced. Perhaps the performers are not yet assembled. The conditions of the air for the next few minutes are surely unknown. It is a moment of expectancy and this element alone makes for much of the pleasure of the particular moment. I lowevcr perfect our appar- atus or the equipment of the sending station may be, there is every chance that something will interfere between the “mike” and ourselves. It is ours to be on the alert and not alone “to tune in but to be just as keen at “tuning out.” College life is like this.—like it in its immediate present and in all the days that are to follow. These “Milestones” are proof. Each has given its program in its turn. Kach has offered its best. Each has retired in the consciousness of a noble task nobly done. The announcer, 'File Spirit of Hope,” bids us “stand by. Good will, a spirit keen for reception, a vital expectancy, a will to get this offering and none other however good all the others may be,—these arc our contributions to a most pleasurable privilege. Xineteen-Tweiity-Eight broadcasts. Now let's to the moment! Stand By! Whoever it was who invited his “soul to loaf. was of all spirits the most impossible. Can you imagine it? Soul, the very quintessence of life, of activity, oft' on a loaf? Such an one could never stand by! And such an one. though instruments were refined to the nth degree, could never receive! H O P hi Stands By—not with a soul that would or can loaf; but ready for II J CM! Page Eighteen MlLtSTCNE 1‘azc Xinctcen John I!. Nykkrk, A. 15.. A. M.. Litt. D. Dean of Men.

Page iventyth The Student Council The Student Council is the one organization on the campus representative of the entire student body and its duties extend to all matters of concern to the studentrv of the college. The Council is composed of nine members: the president of the Senior Class who automatically becomes president of the Council and two representatives from each of the classes elected at the beginning of each school year. The work of the Council is to minimize class prejudice, represent the student body as a whole, and meet all problems and situations that arise necessitating action by the students. The annual 'I'ttg of War, Freshman Rules, and their observance. Cap Night celebration, the Honor Code, the Point System, financing of the ora- torical and debating activities of the college are some of the events and problems in charge of the Student Council. MICCSTOM Students realize that the Council is working for their best interests and have shown a fine spirit of co-operation.

The past four years hold many pleasant memories for us and the future looks golden in the anticipation of being able to Be loyal to the royal in us.” What the young men of Athens swore in allegiance to the city we, the Class of 1928. would swear allegiance to our beloved Alma Mater. We will never bring disgrace to bur beloved Alma Mater, bv any act of dishonesty or cowardice, nor ever desert our fellow suffering Hopites in the ranks. We will fight for the ideals and sacred things of our Alma Mater, both alone and with many. We will revere and obey her laws and do our best to incite a like respect and reverence in every one with whom we may come in contact.” Long may our Alma Mater live to be a blessing to the youth, not only of this land but to the vouth o:‘ the entire world!

McCarroll Senior Girls’ Association After being merely classmates for three years, the girls of the Class of ’28 have finally become real friends through the happy influence of Senior Girls’ Association. Once every month the girls forget that it is their duty, as Seniors, to be dignified and serious, and meet, usually at the home of one of the members, for a big “feed” and a good time. Sometimes clever and interesting programs are given, but often the gatherings are purely social and. as such, are wonder- fully successful. And you'd be surprised at the number of good cooks there are among the Senior girls! Hut in addition to these regular meetings the girls have used other means of having a good time. i v a group attendance of the S. G. A. at some of the basket-ball games, they surprised the crowd (especially 11. K. K.) and gave splendid evidence of their loyalty through their peppy and unusual yells. All of the girls agree that the S G. A. meetings, with their spirit of fellow- ship and fun. are among the happiest of the many pleasant experiences that mark their Senior year. President.........

First, to promote a Spirit of Loyalty and Fellowship among our classmates. Second, to uphold the dignity of Senior men on the campus. Third, to instill in the minds of the Freshmen the essentials of good conduct and service. As the year draws to a close, we feel that the II. K. K. was not organized in vain. Not only have we succeeded in upholding our Senior dignity and in promoting good fellowship hut we also feel that many Freshmen have been started on the straight and narrow path by our kind, altho sometimes vigorous advice and guidance. It is one of the few organizations of the Campus, membership in which is confined to one class. Seniors alone can qualify. Our meetings, which were held whenever convenient, occasionally took the form of nicotinism but we sincerely maintain that they were not without an uplifting intiuence, especially in a social and recreational way. They have tended to make the members of the class which is about to leave Hope better friends and more companionable men.

Members of the class of '29 have fast become the leaders in all lines of endeavor. Laboring together, in the spirit of close co-operation, with other Hopites, we have given of our best- -for Hope. And we have enjoyed these years, and are looking forward anxiously to the year that is to come, not because it is to be the last, but rather because it is to be the best. It is to be the year that will see the achievement of something for which we have striven many years. The goal is in sight, but we will move it on. ever keeping it a distance ahead, a thing to strive for. to attain, to pass. In spite of the fact that our numbers have been noticeably reduced, during our stay on the campus, the tiny seed planted when first we became Hopites has become a sturdy plant whose bounteous fruits are the Spirit of Hope and love of our Alma Mater. May this spirit and love continue to grow, deep in our hearts, until it shall become like unto the sturdy old oak against which even time is no enemy. “Orange and Blue!

It rolls on plunging into its ceaseless course; thus twenty centuries have sunk into eternal night. But let us stop in this mad rush of time and let our memories run through the shadowy past. What do we see? The Class of '30, one hundred and eighty strong, proudly enroll themselves as Freshmen, to help carry the Orange and Blue” to victory in all phases of college activity. As Freshmen we felt that graduation was the Mecca in our pilgrimage to the shrine of learning. But a year of college work soon disillusioned us for, as Sophomores, we realize that the torch of learning is to he carried on through posterity. This torch we endeavor to foster and keep alight by success. Sopho- more achievements on the Campus are many. We will strive to uphold Hope’s deep-set ideals and principles through the remaining two years of our college sojourn. And as our motto “Co-operation and Progress has proven fruitful, so let it remain for two years to come. “Beneath this starry arch, Xaught resteth or is still; But all things hold their march As if by biie great will.

BROWER Freshman Class Yea Frosh! “they may be ‘Green’ but so is the Governor.” 'I'lie class of ’31 realizes that the real up and down life is during the first year at college. Though the freshmen have been pushed around somewhat by upper classmen, and have received a few duckings they have not become discour- aged. They merely look on that as the legitimate introduction to college life. As a rule, the classes coming into I lope yearly, are larger than those of the preceding year and the class of ’31 is no exception to this rule. With all the pep and enthusiasm that a class of about one hundred and sixty-seven can exhibit, the Sophomores have been forced to step lively. The upper classmen may have thought that the Freshmen were boisterous and were creating too much excitement. But this, fellow Hopites. was merely an overflow of pep. The Class of ’31 has settled down to a well-meaning course and wishes to blend its pep and enthusiasm with the “Spirit of Hope” and by so doing, to be able to complete a successful college course, bearing their colors high and in the front ranks of diligent workers. Though the course may be a difficult one. and many rocks and rapids of hazard may be in the stream of college life, the Class of 1931 has determined to go forward and maintain the good standards of Hope as the classes which have gone before.

KOLLEN C.OOSTfN ’age Sixty four PtfjCC Sixty five It was a marvelous work of art, and it hung in a splendid hall: A thing of beauty, this tapestry—it brightened the eye of all. The story it told so enchanting was, it gave the mind release— It lifted one from the strife of life to heights of rest and peace. Xot all was light, or in tints of gold, soft shadows pervaded the whole.— But the light was the brighter because of them, as trouble enriches the soul. I gazed and gazed at this work of art, my thoughts took me back a time: 1 saw the weaver so work-worn there, as he toiled in a distant dime. The skill of his hand was not greater than the patience he had to acquire. As he sat in the gloom of his workshop with a pattern as guide to inspire, lie never could look at the finished side of the glorious fabric he made— While the joy of his work was for others, yet for him was but toil and shade. My life is that of the weaver’s, and I'm weaving some threads each day. I only see the seamy side, the warp, the dark, the grey. But still I'm weaving a wondrous design, or I truly can make it so. For all depends on the pattern I choose,—the colors—and how they go. 1 would the tapestry showing my life a thing of beauty would be: For I'm not laboring for myself, but for the Master who’s hiring me. So I’ll go by the pattern He gave me. do my best to follow I lis plan. For I want my work to be pleasing to God, as that tapestry was to man. Pace Sixty-six I’age Sixty-eight Hope Preparatory School Profkssok T. Wki.mkks. Principal This has been another truly great year in the history of the Preparatory School, the oldest educational institution in this vicinity. Our numbers have been fexv. to be sure, but this has only helped to make the fellowship more in- timate. Seldom has there been a finer spirit manifested amongst the studentry. In the two literary societies, the Meliphone for the hoys and the Minerva for the girls, some splendid work has been done. Moreover, there has been present this year a rich religious atmosphere, which has exerted a great influence upon the students and has helped to give them the necessary spiritual stability and poise. Probably the most significant happening of the year came at the end of the first semester when the college seniors, who were working for a teachers’ cer- tificate. began to do practise teaching in the Preparatory School. This teaching, however, was done under the careful supervision of the regularly employed staff and for that reason there was no letting down of educational standards. Our students have enjoyed this opportunity to work with the college students and as a result of this contact there has been an exchange of feeling which has been mutually beneficial. In closing, we should like to emphasize the many-sided nature of the train- ing received here. The thorough and painstaking work of the classroom is supplemented by the social, athletic and religious life as found in the society hall, the gymnasium and the V. M. C. A. In this regard we feel we are but carrying out the purpose of the Church of which we are a part and which we arc pleased to serve. Page Seventy Peter Mether. Holland.

Religion at Hope The religion oi Mope College is the one and only true religion, that of Jesus the Christ, Son of the Living God. Kvery active student and alumnus of our Alma Mater, realizes the rock-hewn foundation upon which is built the ever-per- vading influence of Christianity upon the campus. Without religion there can be no morality, and the highest type of morality, good character, depends upon a well constructed life as revealed in the teachings of the Holy Bible. True Hope “Spirit strives then to build men and women of character along with a finer appreciation of knowledge: to become worthy leaders of the future. Let us say with earnest conviction that the man whose four years separate him rather than join him closer to God. has lost or never won the significance of a I lope fellowship. There are three roots to the tree whose fruit we now speak of. In Chapel, a simple morning service of twenty minutes duration, a student joins with his fel- lows in song, prayer, and Scripture lesson. Here is born the spirit of every suc- cessful day. From time to time through speech or music the seeds of culture and inspiration fall. The Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., the two distinctly religious bodies upon the campus, have adopted for their motto: “Jesus Christ is King of this campus,” and offer Christian fellowship to all. In the Faculty we find friends and advisors. To them we can look as exam- ples of the best, and to them we can go for a religion that is correct. We can truly he thankful for the wholesome atmosphere in which our col- lege is surrounded. Page Eighty-one 3 ' V is the best and most representative organization on our campus. It is at our “Y” meetings that we meet on common ground, with mutual interest, and in loyalty to our Lord and Master. The organization of the “Y” is centralized in the Cabinet, which consists of thirteen members, who are interested in the student problems and particularly in the religious life of the studentry. C )ur weekly meeting, along with the daily College Chapel exercises and per- sonal devotion, spiritually tithes us over from Sabbath to Sabbath. We not only believe in worship and prayer, hut also in service and work. 'Pile “Y“ in co-operation with the Y. W. C. A. conducts three Sunday Schools in the sur- rounding districts of Holland. “Y” men. who are eager to serve, are sent out on “Gospel Teams” to carry the Message of Salvation to neighboring communities of Holland and Grand Rapids. Discussion group leaders were sent to the Michigan State Older Boys’ Conference held at Kalamazoo. The missionary zeal of the Y. M. and Y. W. is expressed in supplying funds for the Hope Hostel, a branch of Hope High School in India. The purpose of ”Y” is to develop religious life and moral character. It is the prayer and aim of the organization to lead others to Jesus as their personal Savior and the open door to the more abundant life. Xot only is our aim car- ried out through our weekly meetings and personal work, hut also through our Annual Week of Prayer. This year it was observed later than usual, since we felt that we needed the inspiring services of “Dad” Elliott, whom we could not obtain until March 20th. We have prayed that “Dad’s” coming would be a blessing to every student and that his work would lead us fully to a life of self- negation and positive consecration to the Master. We pray that as you read now, your memory may be flooded with the hap- piest thoughts, and that the “Y” through its services has helped you find and serve the Master. If it has not, then will you pause a moment even now, and meditate upon its aim and services, and judge whether it is not worthy in the Spirit of the Master, to influence your life from henceforth.

W. C. A. To gain a clearer vision of the Christ and all that lie stands for is the purpose of the Young Women’s Christian Association on this campus. Relieving in un- selfish service to others the ’Y has branched out into various activities and the members have discovered that through endeavoring to share with others the vision of Christ it becomes more precious to themselves. The main source of strength lies in the weekly hour service set aside for “Y where all meet to take inventory, renew faith, and commune with God in prayer. Of all the activities of the “Y” this hour means the most to each girl. All. meeting on equal ground, are joined together by that invisible band formed through a united striving for the same purpose under the leadership of the same Master. In order to reach out to others. Gospel Teams have been formed and are active in the surrounding community. The missionary spirit prevails among the group and a direct contribution to the cause is made by assisting in raising the annual Hope Hostel fund. This money is for the maintenance of a dormitory on one of the mission fields. Christmas boxes have been sent to the children at the various mission stations where Hope representatives are working and the “Y girls have experienced the joy of bringing Christmas happiness to others. Besides the spiritual uplift which this organization effects on the campus and the religious work which it carries on. the “Y engages in various phases of social work. New girls arc welcomed and made to feel at home, employment is sought for those students desiring it. W holesome enjoyment and recreation is secured at the beach parties, get-togethers, and other social events of the “Y” calendar. “Y fills that need on the Hope campus which no other organization can fill. It is a distinct part of the college and her tradition. Throughout the year the “Y” girls have tried to live up to the ideal set forth in their song: ‘‘Follow, follow, follow the gleam of the light that shall bring the dawn.” Page Eighty four H. Zander.

Zander Student Volunteers The Student Volunteer Hand is composed of individuals who have volun- tarily declared that it is their purpose, God willing, to give their lives to foreign missionary service. This signifies even more than a willingness or desire; it is a declaration of purpose that is made after intelligent thinking and prayerful decision. Ilv this declaration the X’olunteer says. “Here am 1. Lord, send me.” And only (iod shall determine whether or not he shall enter the field of his desire, prayer, and hope. The Student Volunteers meet each week for the pur]x se of getting acquainted with all phases of missions and missionary work. Missionaries on furlough, as well as other competent leaders, are called in from time to time. In this way the fires of devotion are re-kindled. Inspiring others and sharing with them is in- cluded in the objective. There has been a decrease in membership within the last few years, un- doubtedly caused by financial conditions of the Hoard, and a deadening vision of foreign mission service on the part of the students. A keener interest, how- ever. has been shown during the current year. Several students have linked themselves with the Movement.

The purpose of the organiza- tion is to present some of the problems of the Christian ministry in order that no one may enter the work blindly. 'Hie challenge is one that demands a con- secration of body. soul, and spirit. The band holds regular meetings of an educational and inspirational nature.

Bentall Men’s Gospel Team And he sent them.. .before His face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.” (Luke 10:1) We are indeed happy to rei ort another successful year in Gospel Team work. We feel that we have been blessed in our cfYort to spread the good news of Christ Jesus in the outlying districts of Holland. It is obviously difficult to point to definite results in work such as this, but we believe that we have created in the communities which we have visited a truer conception of what constitutes real Christian Manhood. In our contacts with young people of High School age we have tried to point out to them the joy and blessedness of an intimate acquaintance and a living fellowship with the Prince of Peace. As members of Gospel Tearns, we feel that we, too. have been made stronger, more thrillingly alive to the possibilities of a life with Christ by thus engaging in this work. One-night teams have been sent out to the following places: Hamilton, Gib- son. Third Reformed Church, C. L. Union at Muskegon, and Muskegon Heights. A regular week-end team of nine men under the leadership of Peter DeRuiter spent three days at the Lee Street and Godfrey Schools in Grand Rapids. The Gospel 'I'eam is a subordinate organization to the Hope Y. M. C. A. and the work accomplished by “Y” men going out in this capacity is a part of the Y. M. C. A. program of the year.

Vander Naald Women’s Gospel Team The Young Women's Christian Association of Hope College purposes faith in God and its members endeavor to devote themselves to the tasks of making Jesus Christ supreme in their lives and of helping to extend God’s Kingdom throughout the world. The Women’s Gospel Team concerns itself primarily with the second of this dual objective, that of extending God’s Kingdom. The work is still in its infancy. Of recent years whenever opportunity presented itself, groups of girls have visited surrounding High Schools and acquainted themselves with the students. By j ersonal contacts and friendly talks with them, the members of the Team en- deavor to inspire finer new ambitions in the hearts of the growing pupils and to encourage them to form worth while ideals to pursue. The companionship in recreation and play affords an opportunity to exert a real influence for good and the fellowship of the meetings might well flower out into a finer conception of life and life’s opportunities in the minds of the High School students. The value of membership in the Team is inestimable. Sharing something with others makes it more precious and the act enriches the character of both giver and receiver. Service has its own rewards. True greatness consists in helping others. Only as we are able to help others on the way to true happiness can we attain true greatness. .“Oh Lord! that I could waste my life for others, With no ends of niv own; That I could pour myself into my brothers.

Van Kenenaam Girls’ Glee Club The Hope College Ciris’ Glee Club is one of the musical organizations on the campus and its members aim to do their part in representing the school to the outside world. With a membership of sixteen girls the Club has done very excellent work on the concert platform. Due to a loss of members through grad- uation the Club has undergone a marked change in personnel, only five of the club of last year being members. With this new material the girls have striven towards the attainment of the goal reached by the Club of the preceding year. The public appearances were not as numerous this year and no extended tour was made. Successful week-end trips were taken and concert programs were rendered in the churches of the vicinity. The Club entered the state contest held at Albion and its performance was praiseworthy. Words of commendation for their singing have come to the Club from appreciative listeners and the pro- ficiency of the singers foreshadows noteworthy achievements in the future.

Vermeer Men’s Glee Club The Men’s Glee Club of Mope College is tilling a definite part in the musical activities of the school. Through the diligent practice of its sixteen members the Club has reached a point of real ability in the rendition of musical programs. Concerts were given in the churches of Holland and of the vicinity. The Club participated in the State Contest held at Albion College and its work was credit- able. The singers were much in demand by the churches of the City to supply the music for the services. The Men’s Glee Club has been an active organization in the past. Last year a tour was made through Illinois and W isconsin and the musicians were well received. In conjunction with the Girls’ Glee Club the Oratorio. “The Prodigal Son”, was presented in Carnegie Hall on the Sunday of Commencement Week. In these activities the Club endeavors to develop the musical ability of its various members and to be a serviceable agency in the community. Director........................................Mrs. W.

O how faint, how weak! Language fails beneath thy spell; Why should feeling ever speak When thou cans't breathe her soul so well! Music plays a large part in the life of every educational institution. The Orchestra has achieved a place in Hope College and represents to the student body its efforts to develop one of the greatest of arts. The object of the organization is to promote the appreciation and under- standing of orchestral music among the members and to further the musical interests of the College. The Hope College Orchestra was first organized by Dr. J. B. Xvkerk in 1904. Under the excellent leadership of Mr. Van Hassalt. of Amsterdam, the orchestra at that time made great headway and became an asset to the College. Professor Munickc and Mr. John Lloyd Kollcn have directed it in recent years. Now under the capable leadership of Mr. Walter T. Ritter, the organization has had a very successful year. It has a large membership and a well-balanced col- lection of instruments. The several concerts of the season have been of high order, and the musi- cians have gained much in pleasure and instruction in the rendition of them.

Many times it has proven its value as an adjunct to the various other organizations, as for example, the band trip of 1926 to advertise the Pageant. This year however, it seemed ihat there would be no band. Much was said about a band in the early fall but little was done toward organization until well into the middle of December. At this time, due to the request of interested parties, a meeting of the players was held. In early January a first practice took place, and the details of organization were completed. A very able leader was found in Mr. Gosling, a member of the Seminary and graduate of Central College. Under Mr. Gosling's leadership remarkable progress was made. The band made its debut a few days after this. The call for members elicited very little response from those who should have been the most interested. However, once again our friends from across the street responded to the call and filled in some of the rather essential places. It is the wish of the other members of the band to express here their appreciation of the kind assistance given by the Seminary, both in the provision of a leader, and members as well.

The quarteette has made fine progress during the four years of its life under the leadership of Miss Margaret Hondelink. 1 here are in the main, two purposes in all musical work on the campus. First, there is the pleasure and profit which comes to the student body from the practice and contacts afforded by musical work; and. second, the training which will make it possible for the members of these musical organizations to do similar work later on in life. Music is ever a source of inspiration, giving to all a feeling of intense delight and to the performing musician also the keen satisfaction of accomplishment. During the first year of their organization, the quartette made few public ap- pearances. but last year they played on several occasions. In June. 1927. two of the trumpeters were graduated, but others took their places, continuing the or- ganization. This year the trumpeters have given concerts and have played for many religious services both in Holland and in the surrounding cities. The last two of the original Hope Trumpeters will he graduated this June, but others are being trained to take their places, and the Hope Trumpeters will continue to be an established organization on the campus. :.rr.r; rrnrniS I'agc Ninety-eight 11 11 ?'l!

I m'lTTTTT Drama Glass Play On the seventh and eighth of February this year, the Drama Class presented The Youngest by Philip Barry, a play of modern American home life. The Winslow family consists of the mother, three sons and two daughters. One of the daughters is married to a young lawyer who comes to live in the Winslow home, where harmony does not always prevail. The two older sons, who are carrying on the manufacturing business of their late father, are so determined that their brother Richard shall also come into the factory with them that they even strive to compel him to do so by cutting off his allowance. “The Young- est, however, is different, lie loathes business and wishes to devote his time to writing. His brother-in-law, the lawyer, comes to his rescue by disclosing the fact that through a legal technicality Richard is really the owner of all the property, and is free to follow his chosen career. A compromise is made and the financial problem is happily solved. The love element enters the plot in the form of .Yancy Blake, one of Martha’s school friends who comes to make a visit. She proves to be so charming that the three brothers vie with each other in their attentions to her, but Richard, the hitherto downtrodden “Youngest,” tri- umphantly wins. THF.

Last year another of Channing Pollock's plays was given and given very creditably. Former classes have given Shakespeare and famous modern plays.—1 unny plays, forceful plays, catchy plays, plays with big morals.—but all great plays and all well acted. Xot desirous of lowering the standard set. they this year chose ‘’The Fool.” The plot centers about the efforts of David Gilchrist, minister of an aristocratic church, to live not to please his parishioners but his God. So he was considered radical and ill-advised. But he held fast to his purpose and to his great work in the slums and finally he won not only the respect and aid of his church but also his Heart’s Desire. And the play ended happily as all good plays should. Under Mrs. Fealy’s direction unrecognized genius grew, budded, and flour- ished. Mr. Pollock’s great characters, whether strong, weak or wistful, became very real people with real problems and joys and disappointments. David Gil- christ really came to life and conquered us as well as his people. The fair Clare Jewett captured our imagination and admiration and the little lame girl walked right into our hearts. And what greater praise can we give to teacher and pupil?

Successful participation in oratorical contests has brought about upon the campus an attitude favorable to oratory, which has become a part of the tradition of the institution. It receives the hearty support of the faculty in every way and students display a keen interest in the inter-collegiate contests. Hope’s record in competing with other colleges is illustrious, showing three national triumphs and numerous first places in the contests of the Michigan Ora- torical League. I)r. J. I . Xykerk has been coach of oratory for a period of about twenty-five years and has been eminently successful in turning out speakers of the highest quality. The annual M. (). L. Contest, held on March 2. 1928. at Albion College was an excellent exhibition of speaking. The Hope representatives repeated the 1927 record when they returned with two second places to their credit. Decisions were especially close in the men’s contest: Mr. Jacob Pelon missed the leading honors by a very scant margin. Miss Hazel Albers took second place in the women’s contest in the face of exceptionally strong opposition. More efforts were made to gain honors by sending the orators to the national Pi Kappa Delta convention to compete with college representatives from twenty- four states. Both Hopeites were eliminated in the first contests when judges objected to the reformatory stamp of the orations. The oratorical branch of forensic activity can thus show a fairly favorable record for 1928. Orators for the coming year will be selected by means of a series of local elimination contests and 1 lope will continue to enter competition in the field of oratory. '.Tv-' Otic Hundred I’out Miss Albers, delivering her oration Whith- er”, very ably represented Mope in the M (). L. contest for women. Iler challenging message combined with a pleasing presenta- tion won for her second place in the contest Whither? hoarded Second Place in the annual contest of the Michigan Oratorical League In California there are certain places where the trees grow so close together, the branches and vines entwining, so as to form an almost impenetrable maze. In such a grove two friends started out one day for a walk, and before they realized just where they were going, they found themselves in the very thick of the woods. While they were attempting to find their way out. they lost each other. They could speak together, but could not see each other. In vain they tried this way and that, hut they came to no clearing. One called to the other, John, where are you?” John answered. I don’t know. I must be in a maze. They continued to grope here and there, until a guide came to their assistance and led them out of the maze. Like these two friends, we also are wandering in a tangled maze of human relationships. We arc being jostled along by the crowd in the mad rush of life, always moving to he sure, and moving faster: but are we ever troubled by the question. Whither? If some one inquires the reason for going so fast, we look astonished that such a question should even he asked, and can only reply, Why, we go fast! And what more can be said? In business, in industry- -speed is the word. The executive urges, “Speed up on the sales! The foreman cries. We’ve got to get these goods out faster! Pav One Hutuuen Fixe ft is true that we can go anywhere we desire and faster than necessary; but few there are who realize that it is time to ask where it is most worth-while to go. We have become a race of Jehus, driving “furiously. But if in Bible times Jehu drove furiously, what in this day and age shall we characterize our auto- mobile driving? So swift and careless is our driving, that fatal accidents are mounting up at a terrific rate. In 1926 alone the price of speed was approximately 23,000 deaths and hundreds of thousands injured. In our hurry to save time, we have no time to save ourselves. We arc conscious only of a wild desire for speed. We race along, seeing things all in a blur and not as they are meant to he seen. Blind and deaf to everything about us. we rush madly onward—only to turn around and rush hack again. In such an age of hurry and speed, youth is criticized as being the most to blame. Youth says he has to go fast to keep up with the way his heart is heating and the way the world is moving. “What’s life for. if it isn’t to he lived? we ask in derision of those who warn us to consider how we are going and where. A man, aiming to reach an objective several hundred paces away, appears ridicu- lous were he to take a circuitous path instead of going straight to his destination. But this man knows the dangers of the straight course leading through marsh and quick-sand. We ask, Is the shortest distance between two points always the sur- est and safest? Youth laughs at such caution. The young desire to reach their destination in the quickest way, and do not stop to think of dangers or i nse- quences. It matters not that others wish to move slowly, youth still wants to go “on the wings of the wind.” Also in college, life is a continual rush from one lecture room to another, from this meeting to that meeting. The crowded curric- ula. the ever-multiplying student activities, and “all the full steam and weighted throttles of modern efficiency are pushing out of college life the one element that should be characteristic of it—time: time for thinking, time for ruminating, and time for dreaming.—time for becoming true and real personalities. Youth however is not alone at fault. The American nation as a whole, for- eigners claim, is altogether too restless. They condemn us for making a great show of hurry. Criticisms of America one hundred years ago have not changed from those of today. W e arc still doing things with “bedazzling speed. The English declare that we eat in such perfect silence and with such rapidity that we have finished before they have had time to start. At home, we are said to be so occupied with business and other affairs, that we lack the “vivacity, ideas, and feelings for spending the evening in conversation. Also, according to Europeans, we rush into marriages. ()ur numerous divorces arc attributed to hurried wedlock. “It almost seems chic to run off to Nevada to he divorced. Then, again, we are accused of being too anxious to make money. Yes: Lindbergh, young, modest and daring, proved to he a revelation to foreigners when he scorned offers of money. A foreign critic says of us Americans: “Their eyes are astoundingly outward-looking. They peer out into the world, seeming to run in advance of the brain behind them. Often they are very beautiful in their eagerness and vivacity. but for a European they are almost terrifying;. Their vigilance is so unrelaxing, one feels as if they would never find rest in inward contemplation and never escape the pressure of things by inner seclusion. America in its mad desire for speed is neglecting its physical and spiritual development. Dr. W illiams of New York City says that the modern rush and hurry, the high pressure methods, and the excessive wear and tear explain at times many disturbed functions of the body. The demands of life require physical fitness. We must needs be able to withstand the strain of overwork, the worries and sorrows of failure and should be able to overcome defeat. Mapper Fanny wisely says that the faster you travel the sooner age catches you.” Jn this world of trolley-cars, taxicabs, rapid-transit systems, automobiles, air- planes. radio messages, we must learn to cultivate poise and tranquillity. I ask. Are we obliged to be in a hurry? Is this mad rush bringing us more content- ment? A young student and a hobo were sitting around a camp-fire talking about various things. In the course of the conversation the student asked the hobo whether he was satisfied with the life he was living. The hobo replied, Satis- fied? Why. Fm in hell. They call me Smiling Jim. The smile is simply a mask to hide the inner unrest.” Yes. no matter how depraved a human heart may be. there is always that searching for peace. Inward peace gives outward power.” Machinery that works the smoothest has the most power. Likewise the men and women who accomplish the most have the peace of God in their hearts.” Self- control or self-discipline therefore, must be acquired, so that we may be poised and calm in the hurly-burly of the world. Everywhere we find human wrecks who have failed for various reasons to cultivate this control. Dr. Williams advises us: Keep your poise! Keep your control! Take the wheel and drive yourself! Put hurry in the back seat and allow no back seat driving!” With hurry muffled in the back seat, we shall be able to spend more time on the worth-while things in life. In this age. we find very few Americans who have acquired an artistic or literary conscience. Why? Because we have been so busy trying to keep up with the dizzy pace of life, that we have not taken time to enjoy the best in art. Today, jazz is our conception of music; tabloid news sheets, our idea of literature. Several young people were spending their summer vacation at a resort. One evening before starting out for a pleasure trip, they noticed that one girl was missing. When they inquired where she was and found that she was reading Shakespeare, the group laughed and sneered at such old-fogey nonsense. Yes. the majority of us are incapable of appreciating the finer, the aesthetic things in life. Once in a long, long while, some glorious scene of nature or a beautiful sunset may hold us in rapturous contemplation a moment. But much of the beauty and sweetness of life passes by unnoticed. We pay so much attention to the in- significant details of our lives, that we do not take time to meditate. We hurtle I’age One Hundred Seven along at break-neck speed, physically and spiritually, for fear of the drabness and futility we might feel if we slowed down.” But if we wish to gain more in this life of ours, we must think. We must have leisure time of our own. Of course we find that there are some in this world with too much leisure. They are dreaming of the great things they will do; but they never realize their dreams. There is a golden mean between find- ing time to live and killing time. Therefore, if we are to keep ourselves spiritually as well as physically fit, we must withdraw from the noise and turmoil of the world and think! We read of Christ who withdrew to a desert place, and went up into a mountain apart. He felt the need of quiet, unhurried meditation and communion. Again, we have read how Lincoln often went alone into his room for quiet thinking. Before determining some solution to a problem, lie would withdraw from his cabinet members and meditate. History gives many more such examples of great men who realized the need for thought and meditation in order to have the necessary power to accomplish their tasks. “The peace that passeth understanding” cannot come to one who is mentally and physically in a hurry. And so in the midst of this confusion, this blind and thoughtless rush, this grasping and fighting, let us listen to the cry to Tolstoy:— In the name of God, stop a moment, Cease your work, look about you!” Or to the words of our poet friend, Whittier:— Drop thy still dews of quietness, Till all our strivings cease; Take from our souls the strain and stress. And let our ordered lives confess The beauty of thy peace.” M. O. L. RESULTS IVom-cn’s Contest 1 Tarnish”. Geraldine Elliott................................ Albion 2 “Whither?

By Jacok Phlox Awarded Second Place in the annual contest of the Michigan Oratorical League There appeared recently an intriguing cartoon by McCutcheon entitled. “Lindbergh Makes Old Ideals Fashionable Again. In this cartoon there stands at the parting of the way a typical American youth puzzled. Shall lie pursue pleasure's primrose pathway, or climb the glorious Lindbergh trail? As if shaken out of his stupor, or momentarily withdrawn from the maze of the mob. he turns his gaze to the sign-post designating “The Lindbergh Way. On this sign-post are enumerated the ideals—ambition, achievement, hard work not made fashion- able. but exemplified, let us say. by America's ace of the air. Wong the narrow, winding, up-hill pathway, on which the artist has painted not a single footprint of a climbing human soul, stands the crowd.—cheering, shouting, yelling—and even with the same breath, perhaps, scoffing, sneering, and jeering.

In this sketch, why did the artist not picture “I.indy with doffed hat acknowl- edging the frenzied, frantic acclamations of the throng? W hy. if old ideals had again been made truly fashionable, did the artist not picture on this ascending pathway to achievement other clambering aspirants to cherished ideals? lint no; not a trace was left of the hero—even his footprints effaced: not one aspiring soul following in the way! And yet. from the maddened herd come taunting ridicule and uproarious applause! How striking. In every age the progress of constructive human endeavor has varied directly with the degree to which the individual has been afforded the opportunity for the Mr. Pclon. representing Hope, with his oration “Manikin or Man , was awarded the silver medal in the M. ).

Given this opportunity, the individual has brought a new splendor to his country, and a finer hope to his fellow men. Deprived of this opportunity, man has conformed to the mandates of the mob. We ask: Does mobocracy exist in America today? Is our country’s future threatened by unthinking crowds? Ours is an age of achievement. Modern civilization wears the laurels of amazing discoveries in the realm of science, of momentous forward strides in the institution and development of governments, of rapid progress in the field of industry, of unparalleled expansion in education. But, with all our material progress, we remain, and continue to become more and more, a nation of imitators. And why? Because, friends, we fail to realize that these scientific, political, commercial, and intellectual accomplishments which you and I share are not our accomplishments,—they are the products of individual minds. Mentally lazy, we appropriate to ourselves transmitted treasures of thought, won for us by dint of sacrifice and toil, by some man of original ideas, who, because of bis innova- tion and our innate hatred of new ideas, was compelled to stand alone amid the jeers and scoffs of angry mobs. We are passive automatons; held in the strong grasp of custom; manacled by the shackles of tradition. We are shaped to the pattern of environment and social pressure: we are subjected and reconciled to arbitrary dictums and con- ventional practices; we are paled in the dogmas and formulas. Moreover, the speed and whirl of twentieth-century progress,—-progress, you say?—this has dizzied men: it has stifled and suffocated the individual’s desire for fuller ex- pression of his creative faculties; it has dragged fatigued and panting humanity into the rut of least resistance and said. Come, rest here awhile. Instead of men, it has made of us cogs in an intricate, materialistic, machine-like society, contrived by the self-regarding plutocrat, and designed for production. Fearful and ir- reparable has been the physical and spiritual loss to the common man, upon whom the burden of our material progress has fallen. Yes, friends, 111 fares the land to hast'ning ills a prey. Where wealth accumulates and men decay.” Striking manifestations of crowd-spirit may be cited at random. They are manifold: they arc the rule among our American populace. They illustrate graphically, and pathetically too. how the human “cog. who. in a modern in- dustrial plant.—and here, unfortunately. I must include also the modern educa- tional institution.—who, I say, having screwed on “nut number 66 or turned in “bolt number 19 for eight or ten monotonous hours, seeks his self-indulgence— rarely self-improvement—in following the madding crowd. Daily, one-third of our country’s population tread the beaten paths to our motion picture theatres, to them but retreats from physical exertion and places where they do not have to think—good “hang-outs. One hundred seventeen thousand hats and derbies, mixed with those more collegiate “bareheads, last fall saw Notre Dame boot the pigskin over the goal-post to defeat the University of Southern California. Why? I’ll wager, more for the “kick of the crowd than the thrill of the game! Into Soldiers Field. Chicago, last September, a drove of one hundred thirty-five thou- sand filed or jammed their way. madly clutching in their sordid hands a five- or forty-dollar paper pass for which they had bartered, worked, or stolen, and be- cause of which families had sacrificed or suffered. Why? To see Tunney whip Dempsey? Four-fifths of the crowd never saw that! Blood-thirsty mobs, heads Pane One Hundred Ten 1 bulging with newspaper trash, fell in line just to he in line. “Tom Jones is go- ing to the bout; therefore. I can and will.” was the urge. In the summer of 1926, when Rudolph Valentino had died and his body lay in state in N'ew York City, not the grim spectacle of death or the loss of Valentino, but crowds and mobs brought tears and sobs. Women went about the streets of our metropolis carry- ing onions in their handkerchiefs so they could shed tears with Miss “Handsome Buddy, or Mrs. “Charming Rudy.” ()ther evidences of American crowd-spirit come to mind. They all fall in the category which Veblen. distinguished Italian psychologist, has labeled “ex- pressions of herd instincts.” For example, glance at yourself just now. How much did you cater to fashion of dress before you made your appearance here this evening? Indeed, are we not fashion's slaves? We who are college men and women, let us reflect for a moment. Whaf and why are we studying? Is our educational tradition scarcely more than systematized crowd-thinking? Also, consider briefly what we as part of the gullible American mass read. Largely trash! We are sated with propaganda: we are surfeited with billboard advertise- ments. ethical and unethical: we are gorged with rank fiction. Why is it. ladies and gentlemen, that nine out of every ten automobiles sold in this country mortgaged property? Why has the American laborer satirically been called a clock-watcher? Why will American citizens in the campaign of 1928 be the sheep of the political demagogue? Why are the mediocre the target of the exploiter? For what reason is the typical American college student likened to a sponge? Why does the modern boy eagerly, though clandestinely, aspire to cultivate the base cigarette habit? Why is our age characterized by a paucity of individual geniuses,—I mean, genuine individuals? And why. I ask, does James Lotka say there are “a thousand Shakespeares digging ditches and an army of Aristotles shining shoes?” We are all camouflaged beneath the obnoxious cloak of copy and superficiality. Personality has been sacrificed for popularity. We are drifters and floaters: why not pilots and captains ? We arc parrots and cuckoo clocks, when we ought to be initiators and producers. We are replicas and fac-similes: we could be in- ventors and originators. We are lethargic leaners: we should be lively leaders. We are a homogeneous multitude of meaningless echoes, when we ought to be a coherent heterogeneity of effective voices. We are marionettes dancing to the strings of precedent: we are challenged to be men standing for the highest ideals of the present. Where is our self-expression? Where is the individual? Where is Ihe Man? To us. as to Paul, comes the challenge: Rise, and stand u] on thv feet. Not in the clamor of the crowded street. • Not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng.

Lubbers John Mulder Debating Debating at Hope lias been pursued the past year by a certain evil jinx and the results are not very satisfactory. Debating as an activity has difficulty main- taining itself in the institution because of the lack of complete support of those in authority. Obstacles encountered by reason of this condition, plus the fact that the squad consisted largely of inexperienced men. united to play havoc with the hopes for a great debating season in 1928. Accepting the handicaps. Coach Irwin J. Lubbers began his work with the squad in preparation for the four scheduled contests of the Michigan Debating League. That student enthusiasm had not abated is indicated in the goodly num- ber who participated in the elimination contests, 'l'he undesirable condition soon dispelled hopes, but an effort was made to carry on in spite of it and the several debaters performed creditably. Of the four rival college teams met during the season Hope was defeated by three and victorious over one. A good brand of debating was displayed in most of the contests and the decisions were dose. All debating activity of the college is conducted under the auspices of the local chapter of the national I’i Kappa Delta forensic fraternity. John Mulder holds the presidency of this chapter. The society is honorary in nature and mem- bership includes all who have represented I lope in one or more forensic contests. The proposition for debate this year was a timely one. “Resolved: That our present Latin American policy be condemned.” The question occasioned a spirited clash of opinion in the majority of debates, the controversial points being the right of the United States to intervene in Latin America and the success of the policy, measured in terms of actual benefit to both nations concerned. A study of this important subject and presentation of it to others yields compensa- tions for all effort expended. Page One Hundred Fourteen Hope Affirmative Kalamazoo Negative R. Steketee M.

McCarrol Pi Kappa Delta Altho smallness of membership has seriously handicapped the local Pi Kappa Delta Chapter during the past year, it has nevertheless enjoyed a successful season. It is only during a short spring season that the local group reaches a desirable size. Graduation depletes the ranks and each Fall sees every member holding an office. Under such conditions, the organization seeks to foster all forensic enterprises on the Hope Campus. Membership is confined to those students who have taken part in one or more inter-collegiate debates or oratorical meets. ()pportunity for such activity is given through Hope’s membership in the Michigan Debating and Oratorical Leagues. Additional competition is possible at the intersectional and national convention of the Pi Kappa Delta. The fraternity is a purely honorary one and offers little opportunity for social activity. Attempts are being made to popularize the annual spring supper among the active and alumni members. It will be possible to create a greater interest in forensic projects and a larger chapter will result. OFFICERS President..............

Whoever succeeds in putting his thoughts together to form the right picture at the right time is an educated person. Once in a while someone succeeds in finding a thought all his own. far more beautiful, far more real than any he has picked up. Such a one is a genius. Many people refuse to possess such things as thoughts. It will always be the duty of the thinker to do the thinking for a thousand others. So. when the thinkers delight in mixing up their thoughts just to find out how grotesque or common they can make their real ideas,—woe unto the thousand! BROAD-MINDEDNESS Some people travel to get it. Some assume an attitude of indifference to- wards their fellow beings and towards their actions, and think they have it. And others are lax and indulgent as to thought and duty and call themselves broad- minded. But one does not find broadmindedness in foreign travel, unless he travels with the purpose of understanding foreigners and their customs: he cannot be indifferent unless he is indifferent to those things which he has learned are in- different: he cannot be lax in his judgment unless it is time to show mercy. l7or what is broad-mindedness if it is not understanding. I wouldn’t be cynical— It clouds the sun I wouldn’t be too practical It’s a dreary road to run. 'Cause where there’s work— There’s fun! 1 wouldn’t be always happy It’s wearisome. E.

We have endeavored to record the important events on our school calendar, to maintain an interest in other schools' activities, and to represent our Alma Mater to the outside world. Our policy has been liberal and broad-minded. We have truly tried to reflect the life on the campus and have endeavored to raise it as well—for the press is a power for molding opinion and stimulating student thought. Frequently, we have startled the student body and alumni out of their smug complacency with radical editorials. It is not all in vain for we have at least created a stir which is less to be detested than the apathy of disinterestedness. We may have been, at times, radical and destructive, but through it all we have tried to inspire and uplift campus life—for we have had the welfare of Hope at heart. We have done our best to rouse a loyal and enthusiastic school spirit and to foster a feeling of good fellowship. Every member on the stati has played his part in making the Anchor a bigger and better paper. We have increased the size of the paper and worked for a stronger editorial system. We have tried to make the Anchor more interesting and readable by introducing cuts, cartoons, and other feature material. This practice has been an innovation and though it has been commended it also has often been denounced as bordering on the sensational. Above all we have not taken ourselves too seriously; we have retained our sense of humor and have philosophically smiled at the idiocyncracies of life; and. though we have not fully realized our ideals, we hope we can make our exit with the thought that the Anchor has played a greater and greater part in the life of I lope College—that “then pen has truly become a clarion.” “Nature’s noblest gift, my gray goose quill”—says Byron—“that mighty instrument of little men.” For one long year we members of the Anchor staff have faithfully dipped our pens and have poured our efforts, our time, and our ideas into this college publication.

Annuals have been published by the junior classes of the institution for thirteen successive years and this one numbers fourteen. Al- ways it has been the Spirit of Hope, alert and active, which has urged students to the task. The year of 1927-28 has been a year of achievement, of building at Hope. We have stood by and watched the structure of Colonial Memorial structure begin to rise; day by day we have seen it grow into a living reality, bearing testimony to the continual upward striving of the institution, foreshadowing .vet greater things for Hope. This rising structure has a significance. 1 lope is concerned with a similar process in each individual. Training of intellect, building of character, development of personality in the light of the highest things of life—it is a defi- nite furthering of these aims that measures off Hope’s milestones of success. This success is many-sided. Tt is the glory of competition with rival colleges; it is the satisfaction of giving all you have for the accomplishment of a given task; it is the pleasure of happy association with fellow-Hopeites; it is the real- ization of the growing powers of each individual; it is the finding of oneself in the scheme of things. 'Hie members of the Staff of 1928 have put forth efforts in order that a record of this may always be had. Reverses have come. The work has not always been easy. Yet we are glad to do it. believing that in the completion of the task we should find an ample reward and that in the performing of it we could be of service to our Alma Mater and to those who have chosen to call themselves Hopei tes.

The scenic section of this book is largely a contribution of the Jones Studio. The excellent photography is a production of the Lacey Studio. To both we are indebted for their splendid cooperation evidenced by their interest in this student publication. A thank-you to the business men of Holland, to the patrons of our adver- tising section, to all our subscribers without whose cooperation this book would be impossible, is also in order. And lastly, but in no way slightingly, we say thank you. to all those who have lent their talents to assist in the work. The fine cooperation of the staff members is responsible for whatever measure of success we may have attained. We are especially grateful to those members of the Sophomore class, Gerrit Vanden Bos and Alvin De Vries, and to John Moedt, a Senior, who have ably assisted the art editor. The work has been intensely interesting, bearing with it not only a responsi- bility but a priceless privilege as well. We truly appreciate the opportunity of portraying Hope College Life through picture and print in these pages.

What is so pleasant as meeting with a group, with whom one can relax upon the restful obligations of friendship? What so encouraging as the interest of those who count ? What so enlightening as the honest, unbiased criticism of your equals? What is more beautiful than the spirit that searches for the truth in manners past and present, and seeks to use that truth in building stronger, more symmetrical lives? When we are old, across the years will come the remembrance of work and honors shared, of friendships tried and made strong. And we should never be able to forget the friendships that made easier the slow and painful efforts to learn to live and give in an exacting world. No more afraid of work than of play, no sooner condoning ugliness than condemning beauty,—Sigma Sigma aims to implant the highest ideals of girl- hood and womanhood in all lines of accomplishment.

In the classroom we acquire knowledge; on the athletic field we gain physical development; in chapel and at church we are spiritually inspired. Our societies provide the means for discrimination, for correlation, for ori- entation of these factors. Under the watchwords of Cosmos—Friendship, Truth, and Progress, we find a concrete embodiment of the ideals of our Alma Mater. Here we search for Truth, and struggle for Progress under that most inclusive and divine expression of human relationship—true Friendship. Friends given by God in mercy and in love: My councillors, my comforters, and guides; My joy in grief, my second bliss in joy; Companions of my young desires; in doubt My oracles; my wings in high pursuit.” Cosmos implies our inspirations and our aspirations. She embodies out- faith in God and our fellowmen. With her our college life must he full and satisfying. Without her it would be incomplete. Society groups are a means of general rather than of individual co-operation, a means of extending rather than of confining our friendship. Hope depends on her students, but she looks to them as organized groups. Zealous and competent co-operation in all college activities, a rational consideration of innovations, and a sincere endeavor to promote the general welfare typify the program of this Society. Friendship, Truth, Progress—high ideals, but more than that, the summation of all ideals. OFFICERS Tall Term Winter Term Sprint Term President Howard Si.uyter ... ...Peter DeRciter Vice-president .

Parnassus to learn from the wisdom of the Delphi oracle. Today, Delphi sisters gather each week for the same purpose, in our Society room. First of all, we meet for cultural pursuits, to obtain knowledge that comes from contact with others. To us, this means scholarship and character building, ideals of Delphi girls. But we also meet for the pleasure of these friendly gatherings, for we believe in social life and generous enthusiasms. Because of our Society, College has meant more to us than striving after knowledge. College days are made brighter and happier by the friendships formed in Delphi’s name, for these, we are certain. Time can never sever. May we ever he worthy of carrying the Orange and Blue, colors of the Alma Mater we love, true to the Gold and Blue of Delphi! “We raise a song to Delphi With a heart that is loyal and true. We raise a shout for Delphi, And our song echoes back from the blue. We hail thee, dear old Delphi. And the Heavens return the song; For, our love for thee will be lasting.

Page One Hundred Thirty-eight Page One Hundred Thirty-nine Bearing high our standard of “Love, Honor, and Success, we arc a group purposing development of individuality, singly and collectively, for the attain- ment of greater usefulness to our Alma Mater. This, because we say with Ralph Waldo Emerson, “it is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after your own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweet- ness the independence of solitude.” Divine-providence has made a place for every man. The degree to which each fills his place is gauged by the cloak of education he wears. Each must make his cloak of education, or of individuality, and the established curriculum gives at its best but a formless gown. We believe that the function of a literary so- ciety is to tailor each member’s gown to a more perfect fit by providing means for the application of theories learned to his particular aims and ideals. Hand in hand with the intellectual development is the ever living, ever present, Emersonian Fellowship by which each member is broadened morally and socially. Each member of our beloved Phi Tau Xu is a developing, indi- vidual, co-operating link in the chain of Emersonian Fellowship which is hound together with loyalty and is working for Success through Love and Honor. “Then, though bright college years, shortest, best of our days, Shall fade with the ebbing sea’s tide; Still shincth the light through our memory’s haze.

They are painted indelibly upon our memory. Neither time nor experience has the power to erase them. And still, among all these memorable days, are some which stand out first and foremost, some which we cannot help but think of with a little more poignant memory. These days are symbolized for us by the lavender and gold of the Dorian standard. Under this standard, we strive together, now and always, for “simplicity of manner, strength of purpose, and beauty of character.” This is our goal, to be obtained with the help of Dorian and our Dorian sisters. We believe that friendship is one of the most precious gifts of life,” a gift to be sought after, held and cherished. Within the circle of Dorian we first begin to develop this gift. But the desire to be a friend is not a thing which can be limited to the narrow confines of a single group; instead it must reach out to embrace all humanity. It is. however, within the smaller group that we find the best there is in friendship. Here, we give and receive the best of all things worthwhile, secure in the love and understanding of each member. Together, we strive to fit ourselves to obtain and to hold successfully our appointed place in the world. This will be the test of true worth. Thus, ever reaching upward toward the highest ideals of strength, simplic- ity, truth, loyalty, and love which will be our stay in years to come, our hearts will ever be true to Dorian and our Alma Mater. To them we owe a debt which it is beyond our power to pay. OFFICERS First Semester Delia Helder ........................ President . Alice Lammers ....................

Every college man has a desire for good fellowship to be enjoyed in an atmosphere that bespeaks of culture and refinement where each man has a confidential trust in his fellow society man. Our motto of “Fidelity, Leadership, and Culture” has been our aim and the guiding star which has enabled us to weather the storms and con- flicts.

Under thy banner of Rose and Blue we make friendships and strive for the greatest good. Great joy has been experienced in fellowship among girls whose love for sincerity of character and earnestness of purpose has held them loyal to the highest good. In our associations, we have learned the joy of living, the glory of service, and the satisfaction of fair play. We have been given strength to meet defeat and the power to fight on, even though the victory may belong to others. Oh. Alethea, thou inspiration to truer and more glorious lives; thou hast led us closer to God who is our divine refuge and strength. Thou hast given us the friendship of those who have worked together for their entire college life. We have tried faithfully to live up to thy standards of right living, of honor, of fidelity, and loyalty. We have tried to co-operate in unselfish endeavor. May those who come to thee in the future, love thee and cherish thy principles. Thus we members of Alethea seek to develop our bodies, minds, and souls, in a faithful and loyal life of service to Alethea and to our Alma Mater. “So lead on.

These facts together with the rendition of specially prepared literary programs, and the true value of constructive as well as de- structive criticism, are vital factors in the development of the members that shall remain of permanent value to them. The lure of seeking new friendships should not be ignored as an incentive to the members. True, active, productive friendship is the only one that is practiced. It demands above all an unselfish spirit. The contact between the members while working together provides the opportunity for this fuller friend- ship. It is expressed through the co-operation of all the members for the good of the Society with the further aim of promoting the best interests of the school. But this is not all. Although Dickensian is not at the zenith of her growth, she is continuing on the path of glorious achievement, beyond the victorious up- ward trend of the past. Young men are not only receiving benefits that are lasting to themselves but there are always others following in their train, for whom Dickensian also offers a greater appreciation of life, a life that is made fuller by active friendship coupled with a sense of increasing loyalty to the best. We can but say, “Shine on. ye bright lights of Dickensian. Keep all the members in the glow of the upward march. Yours is the task to keep the Black and Orange waving with the Orange and Blue! Ye bright lights of Dickensian, shine on for the true spirit of Hope and your reward shall be sure.” Possunt quia posse videntur” OFFICKRS I:all Term Winter Term Sprint Term President ........Gelmer Bo yen .........Benjamin Tewinkle.................William Ooms Viee-president ...Harry Clark ...........I-'red Dinnewold................Floyd Klkinjan Secretary ..........William Ooms .....Garret Roxeboom.....................Harry Clark Treasurer ........Floyd Klkinjan ........George De Boos...................Bert Van Mulsen Keeper of Archives Nelson Van Raai.te .

These, with the aid of Professor Welmcrs, have reorganized the Ulfilas Club. Membership is open to all students who have any ability in speaking the Holland language or interest in it as a literary study. Organized in 1887. and temporarily disbanded since 1P24. the Ulfilas C lub again holds sacred the traditions of Hope. Its aim is to help its members, and consequently others, in the appreciation of original literary productions from the I-and of tin- Dikes. At weekly meetings the members are also given the oppor- tunity to give their contributions by way of literary numbers and recitations. It has long been the custom to give a public program each year. The unique feature of this year's program was the presentation of the Shakespearian play. “Julius Caesar. in the Holland language. OFFICERS ( Page One Hundred Fifty-two MILESTONE Chemistry Club One who reads the signs of the times can readily see that Chemistry is of vital importance to the world. It is not surprising, therefore, that a subject of such infinite variety and interest commands the attention of the younger genera- tion. Although the Hope College Chemistry Club is an infant, as far as years are concerned, nevertheless, it waxes strong with its spirit of youth and vitality. Its main purpose is to stimulate good fellowship among its members. The club is under the leadership of Doctor Van Xyl. who by his active interest and constant loyalty has done much to make the club grow and prosper. Those students who plan to make chemistry their life study and have proved themselves capable arc eligible for membership. 'Phe regular programs are held every three weeks and consist of papers given by the members and dealing with some phase of chemistry. Lectures are also given by outside speakers who have had practical experience in the industry. In this way a breadth of thought and feeling is obtained by observers from two different views. Students of a subject so extensive as chemistry have an interest in all phases of its progress and members of the Club find the programs instruc- tive and beneficial.

The Hope College Science Club is striving to give its members this breadth of view over all of the fields of scientific endeavor. It aims to provide a spirit of unity among the students of the several departments of science and tints to enlarge and relate their views. The essential qualifications for membership in the C lub are proved ability along scientific lines and a devotion to science. Members are chosen from the science students of the Junior and Senior classes. Meetings of the Club prove to be instructive and interesting. Addresses by the college science professors and student research papers comprise the programs. Science has come to the fore; its progress is almost incredible. The new scientific spirit has swept into all of the schools of the country and argues well for more rapid advance in the future. The Science Club is the concrete reflexion of this new spirit.

In every group of people, whether it be savage or civilized, there grow up customs and fixed ways of acting and think- ing. A child not only inherits from his parents certain instincts and impulses to action, which are rooted in his physical organism; he becomes also a part of a social system or way of livng, which is made up of a great variety of customs, usages, and laws. These factors largely determine the kind of a life man will lead and the better these conditions, the better and easier man’s existence will be. As we enter our life work, we feel a keen sense of duty. We feel as if we have a definite task to perform. Our aim is to improve these sociological condi- tions of man. Our ancestors have pioneered and have brought this wonderful age. We also can pioneer. W e are not going to falter and make it impossible for our descendants to enjoy the richness of the heritage which might be theirs. Meetings of the club are held every two weeks. The subjects discussed are such that they give the Pre-Medics some insight into the science of Medicine. The Society was formed with the idea of advancing the students’ interest in Medicine. “Progress Greatest Stride is Medicine and for it we are trying to fit our- selves to carry on the great work.

Vice-president Lewis Geerlings William Beswick ................ Secretary-Treasurer ............... Adrian Kuyper Coach John Schoitkn A Word From the Coach Athletics play a definite part in the work of an educational institution. It is the classroom and the gymnasium cooperating that will accomplish the most for the individual student. Athletics accomplish two major things: they de- velop a man physically and they assist in the formation of character. Hard train- ing makes for strong well-developed bodies and a powerful physique. The work is a builder of character, making the athlete every inch a man. Participation in sports develops individual initiative, perseverance, and a determination to over- come all obstacles. As a member of a team the athlete must learn the necessity of cooperation and self-sacrifice. Proper team play and team spirit inculcate into the individual habits which will be of value to him in later life. Good sports- manship and a desire for fair play are qualities which an athlete must possess. Diligent training and practice, throwing yourself into the game for all you are worth, playing to win. yet not fearing to lose, and always playing like a true sjK rtsman,—these are the things which, build character. Hope College has always maintained a high standard of sportsmanship. It is traditional and has helped to mold the character of the institution. To win games at any cost—never! Hope stands for something nobler; she aims at something higher than a victory unfairly won. Teams must fight, but they must fight fairly. Hope is a member of the M. I. A. A. and meets the competition of rival colleges in the sports of football. ba ketball. baseball, and track. Teams are turned out for each one of these sports. Also, gym classes are conducted for the benefit of the studentry. These various duties require long hours of service, but the work is interesting and the satisfaction worth while. ?•!s.e One Hundred Fifty-nine ------ twjriii.,.iiiiJi]'iif;rMiiiii'!Hiiiii!iM!rrwsv MitfTQNf irni1! h ri'i;;. ■; ■h,i !!!.. : trnrrrm :■ - A New Era in Hope's Athletics The Athletic Hoard of Hope College is strictly a student organization. It purposes to promote athletic activity and to raise funds in financing all inter- collegiate sports. I-'.ach successive board has contended with these problems in the hope that they might be of service to both team and coach. All have met the problem of creating an enthusiastic atmosphere and exacting proper support from the student body for such athletic games. To give the proper impetus to secure this demand has been a task more difficult than it may appear to be in print. Yet a reaction has set in, favorable to the cause. The general tendency has served to promote a new era in Hope College athletics. The student body has displayed its spirit and both team and coach have felt this interest and en- thusiasm to great advantage. Students on the campus and the local sport fans have also remarked favorably of the new enthusiasm. The ground has been prepared for greater success in the future and the outlook is encouraging. It has been a slow and difficult start, but, if handled correctly, it may eventually bring proper support to our Athletic Department. Certain mass meetings of the year have added fuel to student enthusiasm. An excellent example of what a Hope student body can do when it receives the inspiration of a pep meeting was shown on the night when the Alma Quintet was entertained by Hope College. The game was the talk of the school and of the town 'I'lie inauguration of a bon-fire to usher in the football season has received a start—small hut nevertheless auspicious. It all means that more high class mass meetings are desired to keep the group at a definite pitch of enthusiasm throughout the year. Then, again, a carnival was sponsored by the Athletic Board this year. It served to displace the “fun-nites’’ of last year. It was a marked success, the studentry responding with a will. It added a new form of pep and enthusiasm novel yet entertaining. It shows that Hope College is becoming “athletically” alive. It serves to intensify M. I. A. A. competition. It gives confidence to our teams, and it helps to show results in the percentage column. To bring out winners means co-opera- tion between team and student body. Realization of this is spreading over the studentrv and augurs well for athletics at Hope. H Page One Hundred Sixty E. Cook, .1. Schoutcn, J. Pclon, J. Ten Brink Ii. Sluyter, J. Klay, L. Vander Mill.

As a director of athletic affairs it is the final authority in all cases coming under its jurisdiction. Together with the Athletic Board it conducts all intercollegiate sports and aids in promoting clean sportsmanship and fair play. It serves as a judge advocate on all athletics, passing on the eligibility of all Hope College athletes and stressing conformity to the rules of the M. I. A. A. of which it is a member. During the past years its duties have been small because of the fact that athletic affairs have been conducted in such an excellent manner. At present as a M. I. A. A. member the duties of the Board have increased, but the same ex- cellent conditions exist in the athletic department through the continued efforts of Coach Schouten. This added M. I. A. A. work has been taken care of in splendid shape by the Board members and Hope College athletics have become more successful.

A. competitive circles and her showing was praiseworthy, winning as she did from every Association team she played. Weakness in the pitching staff was easily recognized as the factor that counted in Hope's defeats, with Cole the only regular pitcher to go through the season after Van Lente was declared ineligible. Cole’s work on the mound was admirable, his best exhibition probably being the game with Albion on May 28 in which 1 lope wrested a 5 to 4 victory. A very fine brand of baseball was displayed by the I lope team, captained by Jack Elenbaas, on many occasions and the recognition as one of the four best teams in the Association was well deserved. On April 16, Hope was defeated 13 to 1 by Kazoo Normal in the first game of the season, 'rite defeat by the veteran Normal team afforded an opportunity to see the squad in action and it gave a chance to smooth out the rough spots in the team’s play. Pagc One Hundred Sixty-four Inability to hit when hits were most needed cost Mope the next game against Kazoo College by the score of 3 to 1. Cole and R. Japinga formed the Hope battery in this game in which I lope allowed eight men to die on the bases. April 29 was the date that Hope crossed bats with Mt. Pleasant Normal. The game was won by the Upstatcrs 11 to 8. ! oth teams hit about evenly, but since Mt. Pleasant bunched their safeties to make a bad inning for Hope, they won the game. Van Lente, in his tirst attempt, pitched a fine game. 'Pile next day proved to be an ideal one for baseball and Hope played Alma at Alma. The Dutchmen were forced to take a ‘1 to 4 defeat. Hope outhit Alma and. though Cole's pitching was superior to that of the Alma Hurler, the ragged play in the infield in two instances resulted in Alma scores sufficient to give them the game. On the 4th of May. Hope obtained revenge from the Kazoo College team by beating them 1 to 0 in a heautifully-played game. Air-tight ball throughout made it one of the outstanding Hope performances and an exhibition of playing in a veteran style. The next day Hope opposed the strong Michigan State team at East Lan- sing and, with Van Lente pitching, the Dutchmen gave a good account of them- selves, losing by but two runs. 7 and 5. On the following afternoon. Hope’s third game in as many days, St. Mary’s was forced to go eleven innings at Orchard Lake before she could down the Hope team 7 to 6. Hope missed a wonderful chance to win in the last of the ninth inning and the tie was broken by St. Mary's after two more innings of play. On May 10th in Holland and on May 13th at Olivet. Hope and Olivet en- gaged in two contests with Hope winning at home 11 to 2. and Olivet winning there 5 to 0. In the game at Holland the Hope men hit the ball freely and played well in every way, but at Olivet the Olivetians were not to be denied and by spec- tacular fielding and timely hitting scored 5 runs and held Hope scoreless. A week later the local Independent club furnished opposition and in a nicely played contest beat Hope 3 to 1. Hope’s game against the veteran outfit was an admirable one and the score was expected to he much larger for the Inde- pendent team. The next day I lope was again defeated in an eleven inning contest, this time by Albion by the score of to 2. The small score indicates the close battle. Hope’s defeat was due to loose fielding rather than inferior pitching or weak hitting. Cole and Japinga again formed the Hope battery. (hi the 25th of May. Alma, the Association leaders, came to Holland and were severely trounced. When the smoke cleared away it was found that Hope had gained 14 runs while the best Alma could do was 5. The Hope hitters pounced l‘ vic One Hundred Sixty six on three Alma pitchers, all of whom proved ineffectual against the heavy barrage of the Hope hitters. Three days later Hope grabbed another M. 1. A. A. victory and another re- venge by beating the Albion team 5 to 4. Cole gave a remarkable pitching per- formance and the entire team supported him in championship form. This win entitled I lope to compete in the annual 38th field day series held at Albion the 3rd and 4th of June. In the tournament Hope lost to Kazoo in a close contest, as the score of 2 and 1 indicates. Hope, however, completely outplayed the Kazoo team and the Albion Evening Record of June 4th had this to say of this game:—“Hope outhit and outfielded the Baptists but could not put across scores after placing men on the bases having no less than thirteen left on the bases.” I lope was a victim of some unfortunate breaks as she was a strong contender for M. I. . A. honors. Hope's record shows that the team merits much praise for its showing, especially if the handicaps under which the coach and team were working are taken into consideration.

Xettinga The Season 1927 Hope entered upon her first season of M. I. A. A. football last Fall only to labor tinder serious handicaps. The time-worn hindrance of inconvenient labor- atory hours upon the practice sessions made concerted practice from day to day impossible, and even scrimmage had to he discontinued on several occasions be- cause of the limited number reporting for practice. (Iraduation, failure of some to return to Hope, and ineligibility of others, made large gaps in the Hope line, which had to be filled from reserve material. After rounding a team into shape, injuries robbed Coach Schoutcn of Kleis and Xettinga and Hope's chances for a winning eleven were blasted. Undaunted, the team, with Russell Japinga as captain and Schoutcn as coach, went through a heart-breaking season, but despite defeats, the morale of the team was not broken and they came up smiling on each occasion. On October 1st. Hope's team, with only six days of practice, traveled to Albion and in a game played in ideal hot baseball weather, was beaten 31 to 0. Page One Hunarea Scve it I I Iojxr's next game was with Hillsdale on October 15th. The game was played before a huge crowd at Riverview Park where Mope’s aerial attack proved too much for the Dales, and Mope won her only home game, 13 to 6. Rarely has 1 lope been seen to function in such veteran style as on that day. Hillsdale boasted a team that was being groomed for the M. I. A. A. title, but this game definitely put her out of the running. The first half was a punting duel in which Captain Jappinga had the better of it. although half-time found Albion, with a large squad, substituted fresh teams. The hot sun sapped the resistance of the eleven men playing for Hope and the onslaught of fresh mate- rial finally crumbled their defense in the last half, after having held Albion to a lone touchdown in the first two periods. The defeat was no disgrace for I lope, as the team staged a valiant battle against overwhelming odds. Page One Hundred Snentx one VSJ=8= rV MILESTONE both teams scoreless. In the third quarter Russell Japinga picked up a fumble and raced forty yards for a touchdown, but before the quarter ended. Hillsdale scored on a pass and the count was tied. Both teams then fought desperately to win. and in the last period, a pass to Van Lente for twenty-three yards and five yards added by Xcttinga and De Cook placed I lope in a threatening position. On the next play Winter received a pass over the goal line and it was Hope’s day of victory. 'I'lie following Friday the Dutchmen traveled to Flint and an 18 to 7 defeat was handed them by Flint Junior College. This game showed a complete re- versal of form as displayed against Hillsdale, although Hope led at the half 7 to 0. I'lint Junior staged a plucky comeback in the last half and were fortunate enough to receive a couple breaks of the game which resulted in touchdowns, and Hope was defeated. In this contest both Kleis and Xcttinga received badly wrenched knees which kept them out of further competition. The injuries were costly as both players figured prominently in I lope’s offense. Failure to grasp full advantage of the breaks and lack of the final punch at crucial moments counted heavily in the 19 to 6 defeat handed the crippled Hope eleven the next Saturday by Olivet. Hope, minus the services of Kleis and Xet- tinga. was not the smooth-working machine that had so completely outclassed Hillsdale two weeks before. Time after time Hope fought her way to a scoring position but each time she was repulsed—the final drive that results in touchdowns was absent. Page One Hundred Seventy-ttvo On November 5th. Hope’s battling blit disorganized team invaded the Alma camp and emerged a beaten team. The score of 39 to 0 docs not give a fair estimate of the relative strength of the two teams. Hope’s line presented the best spirited defense of the season and Alma was forced to resort to an aerial attack in which department she was particularly adept. The victory gave Alma an undisputed claim to the M. I. A. A. title. Armistice Day found Hope engaged in her final tilt of the season with Kazoo College at the Celery City, where two thousand people saw Hope, after gaining a six point lead at the half, go down to a 26 to 6 defeat. Hope’s touch- down was scored on a pass late in the second quarter. Kazoo scored three times in the third and once in the final quarter. The battle was much more interesting than the score would seem to indicate. The contest was replete with sensational plays, the passing game being the chief mode of attack for both teams. It was a hard defeat to accept but it was a memorable achievement for Kazoo rather than a disgrace for I lope who gave all she had to stem the tide but to no avail in the eventful third quarter. It is significant that after the season’s play Captain R. Jappinga and Alvin Vander Bush were accorded berths on the mythical all M. 1. A. A. second team while John Klay received honorable mention. The season held many defeats but from it we learn to “take our losses with a smile and a song and our gains with a wink and a whistle” and to set our eyes on the future with the determination that next time victory will be ours.

A. late in 1927, gave to Hope her first opportunity for all-Freshnian Athletics. Heretofore Freshmen had been eligible for the varsity but with the adoption of the new rule, Freshmen and varsity athletics were separated. So the first Freshmen football squad came into being in 1927. Coach Schoutcn, assisted by James Ten Brink, had a fair-sized squad practicing already the first week of school. Besides offering opposition to the varsity each night, the Freshmen also battled with other M. I. A. A. Freshmen squads. The game with the Kazoo Freshmen was lost after a fierce Struggle. Journeying to Olivet, the yearlings played a scoreless tie with the Olivet Freshmen. Much credit is due to Coach Ten Brink for the good showing of the team. Several men of real ability were discovered during the season and Coach Schoutcn will certainly use them to fill varsity positions.

L'he following week I lope traveled to Albion where she was forced to take the short end of a 45-19 score, 'l'he score does not indicate the relative strength of the two teams as was shown in a later game. Three nights later Hope and Michigan State College clashed in what proved to be a nip-and-tuek affair until the last five minutes of play, when State broke loose to achieve a 36-21 victory. It was a great game and a tough one to lose. February 1. found Kazoo College at Hope and. after a hard-fought game. Kazoo took a 27 to 22 win.

Hope found it easy to penetrate the Dales defense, but failed when it came to scoring. On February 14. in one of the best games of the season, the highly-praised Kazoo Normal team was given the scare of their lives. Hope played hard and contested for every point, with the lead changing often throughout the game. A basket just before the final whistle gave the Xormalitcs a 29-27 victory. 'l'he next week Hope was an easy victor over the Olivet quintet by a 29-15 score. All of the Hope squad saw action in this game. Traveling on from Olivet. Hope clashed with St. Mary’s at Orchard Lake the next night, in a well-fought and fiercely-contested game. The winning basket was thrown by Van Lente just a second before the final whistle. It was a notable victory. February 29 witnessed Hope’s second defeat at the hands of Kazoo College, the final score being 47-27. Page One Hundred Seventy-eight V.MIICSTONE 1928 A week later, Hope brought the season to a brilliant close in achieving a remarkable 38-37 win over Albion. It was a great game, superbly contested, with lxjtli teams able to keep the lead at intervals only. Van Lente again pulled the game out oi the fire by scoring with only a few seconds left to play.

Though this is the first experiment in an all-Freshmen court team, it has more than justified itself since it is from the present lower classmen that I lope looks for future varsity stars.

Poppink Freshman Basket Ball 'I'he football togs had hardly been tucked away when the call for basketball candidates was issued. About twenty-five yearlings responded. Several of the squad reflected considerable court experience but on account of the late one year residence ruling, no Freshmen were qualified to bid for varsity positions. Conse- quently. Coach Schouten aimed to develope an all-Freshmen team. He was ably assisted in this phase of his work by “Lee” Kleis. 'I'he Freshmen team furnished interesting preliminaries to all the varsity games on the local floor, besides, on several occasions, traveling with the varsity, to meet the Freshmen teams of the rival M. I. A. A. colleges. Their record throughout the season was a creditable one. As a crowning 'went they entered the A. A. U. tournament and remained for a third round, by reason of their victory over the Kethanys’. a team which, in a pre-season game, gave the varsity interesting opposition. Page One Hundred Lighty Page One Hundred Highly-one Cross Country Track The call for fleet-footed collegians was answered last fall by a willing and eager group of men. The essentials of long distance running were discussed and a strenuous training season opened. Cross country running demands a great deal of one’s time and energy and every man of the squad exerted his best effort for the welfare of the team by daily answering to a strenuous workout. The great event of the sea-on was the meet at Kalamazoo in which the vari- ous representatives of the M. I. A. A. matched their speed with one another. Mope’s team accounted for itself very creditably, tieing with Alma for second honors. Captain Dunncwold was first man in for Hope. He captured sixth place while his running mate. Swarthout. finished eighth. During the season the team met with several costly accidents. I loot was in- jured in the Kalamazoo meet and Swarthout later turned his ankle. Roth men were unable to continue training. W ith decimated ranks Hope's team did not journey to Hast Lansing to participate in the State event though the team enter- tained great hopes of returning from that contest with highest honors. Next year with good coaching and a hit of encouragement from the school. Hope should see a fast team in operation. A few of this year's team will leave, hut a fine nucleus will remain about which a record shattering team can easily he built. f'tige One Hundred Eighty-two Track Having joined the M. I. A. A. in the hall of 1926. Hope entered her first track competition in conference circles in the Spring of 1927. Three meets were engaged in with rival colleges and the results were fairly successful. May 6, the Hope men went to match themselves with the experienced Kala- mazoo College team and gave an easy victory to their opponents. Johnny Xauta showed up to the l est advantage for the Hope team, tying for first place in the broad jump. The entire performance of the Hope team against the veterans of Kazoo was creditable. The meet with Olivet College on May 12 was decisively won. Hope having 73 points to 33 for the opponents. ()livet had to he content with getting firsts in blit three contests: the 440-yard dash, the shot-put, and the broad jump. The Hope firsts and the winners are as follows: Xauta, 100-yard dash: Moser, 220- yard dash; DeVelder. half-mile run; I’opma, mile run; Dunnewold. two-mile run; De Roos, discus throw; Meengs. high jump. The relay team easily defeated the Olivet runners. The M. I. A. A. Track and Field Meet at Albion was not very successful since Dunnewold was the only man to place for I rope. The competition was Very keen and it was to he exacted that the inexperienced team should he outclassed. Page One Hundred Eighty-three Tennis Despite the fact that Hope’s Tennis Team had no tennis courts on which to practice, they made a fair showing during the 1927 season. For the first time in the history of the school, the tennis team represented the Orange and Blue in intercollegiate competition. W. Hcydorn, O. Maddaus. X. McCarrol, Y. Klerk, and 1C. Damstra repre- sented Hoj e in the tennis meets. Maddaus and Damstra won their singles; Hey- dorn and Damstra won their doubles at Mt. Pleasant. At Alma. Heydorn, .Mad- daus, and Damstra won their games in singles, and Heydorn and Damstra in doubles also. Hope was outclassed by ()li vet; nevertheless, the games played there were very close. At the Intercollegiate 'Pennis Tournament at Kalamazoo. Heydorn and Damstra represented Hope. Damstra eliminated the Ypsi man in singles, after which Heydorn and Damstra took defeat at the hands of the Ypsi pair. Knthusiasm has been created in tennis and now that Hope is in the M. I. A.

Thus, in this organization all of the athletes of the school are handed together for the promotion of the entire. To he an athlete of 1 lope indicates several qualities in the character of a man. A strong and healthy physique, well-developed and trained, and an alert and active mind—these are the prime essentials. Natural ability as an athlete, perfected by hours of practice and a strict adherence to the rules of training, is always found in the man who has distinguished himself on the athletic field. The Hope athlete is a man of character; he has that sense of right and wrong which guides him in all contests, urging him to play and play hard to win. but always to play with fairness and in a spirit of true sportsmanship. The Club has been in existense for many years and has acquired considerable prestige among the student body. It is deemed a worth while honor to be in possession of an Orange “H with all that it signifies. aK1 ni; I'a c One Hundred nighty-five M. Botcr. A. Lanimers, E. Den Herder, G. Koeppc. P. Vermeer. A.

I feel 1 have no right to longer delay its issue. But for this, as one may say public demand, I perhaps should not have ventured to offer these mere “collegiate references” as mental food for the future “English- speaking ( ?) freshmen and women.” entering the doors of this institution. What readers ask nowadays is something that improves, instructs and elevates. I’his is not the elevator department. I cannot conscientiously recommend it for any useful purpose whatever. All I can say is that when you get tired ol reading “the best hundred books,” you may take this up for a change. Of course, we’re all mighty glad to have a school annual, we are all the more glad since we can truly expostulate with others that it is a “collegiate annual. But we are especially glad that the printers and not to forget our “editor-in-chief have survived so completely. After all. when, say twenty years hence, you’re a financier, fat and forty, you’ll get a whale of a kick out of putting your feet on top of some mahogany desk (with one of Alma Mater’s daughters” at your side), to take down the old Milestone, thumb over the pages, and chuckle over the old days when the profs” used to tell you that your last days were destined to be spent in either h Page One Hundred Eighty-tune the poor house or in the penitentiary. Or. if on the other hand, your lives should fall in less pleasant places and you find yourself inhabiting a t vo-dollar-a- veek hall bedroom on the third-floor hack, and a tom-cat is swearing like a medical student by exercising his canary complex on the back-yard fence, what could be sweeter than to reach out. lay your hand on the trusty old Milestone, hail it at the nocturnal musician, and then roll over and finish your last forty winks? As aforesaid, it certainly is a “collegiate annual portraying college life. The field was unlimited and it was necessary for the Staff to set a mark—and they've missed it by far. They must be highly commended for what they have placed in it and for what they have left out—very much so! However, casting no reflections upon either the Milestone or the Freshmen, it would seem to the impractical observer or to one who had visited the campus in the beginning of the year that part of the comic section had somehow gotten mixed with that of the Freshmen. Vice versa might have been more true to form. Still other minor discrepancies have crecpingly crept into the Milestone. The scenic department for example. All that is aesthetic has found place but no where do we find a picture of Voorhees’ washday. Nowhere do we find any resemblance of Van Vlcck with its many dilapidated inmates. No picture shows what rapid progress “all three men” are making in the building of the new chapel. And in the athletic department we fail to see or read anything about the “tiddley winks squad” or even the results of the “marble shooter’s tournament.” hat is more, the debating team has classed itself in an entirely different depart- ment. Evidently they have abandoned their cane, umbrella, and cuspidor tactics for want of a better method—inappropriate gestures.” Furthermore, when it conies to making a date that isn't so bad; but when information is needed as to where she lives—Ah. there’s the rub! We are glad that two gentlemen of our number have found their place in the social circle and have experienced that difficulty. We are glad that they were moved to the ex- tent of helping other “Hopeites by publishing a Student’s Guide. However, a situation of far greater importance—one that has been silent and steadily on the increase—has hit our campus with a diamond-like blow. Being leap year many have leaped before they analyzed, but WHO? That is the question. The an- swer is not found in the Milestone, so here's our plea -Make the campus safe for “democracy. Arise! overcome the situation by publishing some directory possibly entitled Oose Ducky Is IV’ But then we can't expect perfection in this vale of death and tears, and as Shakespeare has it: “From the day that you’re born Till you ride in a hearse, There’s nothing so bad But it mighta been worse.” m l‘ate One Hundred Ninety mr £2 Third Reformed Church CORNER TWELFTH AND FINE Rev. famb$ M.
