Hope College - Milestone Yearbook (Holland, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 248 of the 1929 volume:

c5 foreword DURING the past year many ships have appeared on the horizon of Hope. To many of us they have brought sorrow, to others joy, and some of them have borne away those whom we loved; yet we all have been watching and waiting for these ships to come in, and in so doing, we have created the events that make up the Milestone of 1929. Q Contents THE MILESTONE - I 9 X 9 MGMXXX MAGIC LETTERS these! There is something in Old Roman Numerals which casts a spell about one. They speak of a world that has long been with the eterni- ties. never more to be known among human kind: and yet they speak of a world whose only proper name is Grandeur.— The Grandeur That Was Rome. And both the Antiquity and the Greatness enthrall. Magic Letters they are, also, which measure time in ii flight. Nothing else seems so fit for the Baptism of the Years. Once to every year this magic symbolism is given, never the same, and henceforth down the long trail from In the Beginning to World ithout End each year marches with its lettered symbol on i� scutcheon.— the horizons of the future beckon. Never before has M C M greeted Hope: in this Milestone M C M stands at Saline. Never again will M C M X N sound the bugle call: with the Finis of this Milestone VI C M X bows to Taps. Vet between the Salutation and the Valedictory fancy drives with freest rein friendships meet in gayest pleas- antry. faith writes large on prophet scroll. Good Reader, be you gentle or churl, pray laugh at our fancies or scorn if you please: drop curtsies for friendship or frown if you must; speak leal for our faith or doubt if you will.—we dip you our colors, the Okanoe and Bi.uk of M C M X X THE MllESTON E • 9X9 Einv iu I).

Its duties extend to all matters concerning the studentry of the College. It solves problems and carries out duties as the occasion arises. 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 class, elected at the beginning of each school year. The Council functions as an organized representative group, whose duty is to pro- mote all student activities. The annual Tug of War. Freshmen Rules and their observance. Cap Night Celebration, the Honor Code, and the Point System are some ol the events and problems in charge of the Student Council. The Oratorical and Debating activities are also financed through the Council.

The sadness lies in the thought of leaving friends and surroundings grown more dear than we could have imagined. There is regret, too, for the chances thrown away and the time lost during those flying verdant years. The smile is for victories well earned and for defeats well lost. A smile not quite as confident as one of four years ago. but just as significant of happy ideals and prob- ably a bit sweeter and a little more serene. Just another Senior Class leaving just another College, with just another sad fare- well and just some other reminiscences? o. not just another College—but Hope College—and all having caught at least a part of the famed “Hope Spirit. ’ And it i not what we have done here so much as what we shall take away that will Count in the world.

They have been filled to overflowing with activities of all kinds: good. bad. and indifferent, we suppose. Of course we are sorry for the times when we have failed to do our best, and for the opportunities of which we have not made the most, but we love rather to think of the good and fine things we can carry with us. in memory, during the years to come. Not least among these memories will be the hours spent together in our S. G. A. meetings. These monthly gatherings have meant a great deal to all of us. Girls who were merely classmates before are now called friends, friends in whom we have t special interest. We want to know what the years will bring for each and every one of us and are making plans whereby we, the girls of the Class of 29. will always remain the true friends we are today. That is why we are thankful for Hope College and the Senior Girls Association. OFFICERS President..............................................

The purpose of the organization as followed out by this year's ll.K.K. is twofold — firstly, to pro- mote and maintain a feeling of fellowship and friendliness between the Senior men. and secondly, to instill in the minds of the lower classmen, particularly the Freshmen, a respect for the dignity of Seniors and for tin traditions of the school. We feel that we have been singularly successful in promoting these aims. This year's body, departing from the age-worn tradition of derbies and canes, provided themselves with campus coats made up in the College colors. This feature lias served to distinguish the Senior men from the other male students on the campus. The ll.K.K. has fostered several social gatherings during the year and has proven itself a live-wire organization in every respect.

A glorious year of pep. enthusiasm and excitement, it has been, our !ir� t chance to do our bit for Hope on our own initiative. It has not been a year of great achievements, but rather, we hope, one of great beginnings. We have finished one-half of our college life, the half where we stand back and enjoy the achievements of our upper classmen. The other half lies before us, the half of our leadership and our accomplishments. « xt year we shall he upper classmen. It is our desire that as such we may be respected and admired. May we be true leaders in all that Hope stands for. May the Class ol 31 be the greatest class to leave this College, not only greatest in numbers, but greatest in our contributions to Hope. In tin la� t year we have gained in self reliance and in the knowledge of the use of intellectual tools. We have advanced in seriousness and sincerity. We have resolved to make each year steps in advance for ourselves and for Hope. “Let us then be up and doing With a heart for any fate: Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait.'

When they got started, however, all became plain and thus their journey began. After a few stops for class parties and the usual get-togethers, they resumed their first year tour. Few bumps were hit but one mud hole stopped their course for a few days. This did not dampen their hopes very much as they “came back” during basketball season. Their athletes are good and they hope to see some of them on the varsity team next year. Some of the members became interested in the Glee Clubs, more of them joined various soci- eties. others became members of the Y. M. and Y. W. During this trip they were a loyal group, staying together and ever ready to do their best. Now that the first tour of the Class of '32 is almost over and they can translate the above orders as “Aw do it right now — when I turn the crank, push the spark on the steering wheel up, step on the starter on the floorboard, and pull the choke which is on the dash — it's easy, they are ready to return to start on their Sophomore trip.

Also, to make it possible for more students to avail themselves of this splendid opportunity for obtaining a secondary education, it was decided to abolish tuition fees. The effect of this was as expected and there has been a marked increase in the number of students, which in turn has tended to strengthen the school in every way. W hat are some of the advantages of attending the College High School? First of all, there is a well trained faculty of teachers, each of them specialists in his own teaching subjects and at the same time imbued with a desire to see every student derive the maximum benefit from his school work. There is also a strong religious atmos- phere present. Every day is begun with devotional exercises, attendance at which is compulsory of all students; Bible study is required of all students; and all class- room work is directed toward equipping the student not only mentally hut also morally and spiritually. In addition to these advantages there are those that come from the contacts the students have among themselves. Both the boys and the girls have their literary societies. There are also the V. M. and the V. W . C. A's. Furthermore, there is the work in the gymnasium, which is eagerly participated in by all the students. So we come to the end of another year and it is a pleasure to review its happen- ings. Many new friendships have been formed, many valuable lessons have been learned, many rich experiences have been lived through. Our only regret is that the year has been so short.

The enrollment of Minerva is only eleven, but the high ideals and noble aspira- tions of those before us have not existed in vain. The spirit of Minerva is so planted in the hearts of the Minerva Sisters that they are ever ready to pledge: Minerva, to thee we will ever be true.

Vredevo d HOPE HIGH SCHOOL DEBATING This was the first year in which the College High School had membership in the Michigan Debating League. Hence, debating was a new venture for them for the team had to be chosen from students who had never debated before. This fact, notwithstanding, the High School can point to a successful record of two victories and two defeats. All the debates were against teams with much experience in debat- ing and in every contest the College High School made a creditable showing. The proposition for debate was. “Resolved: that a Federal Subsidy for the Development of an American Merchant Marine would be a wise National Policy.” The first two debates, on the affirmative side of the question were lost to the Gables High School and Coopersville High School. The two negative debates with Comstock High School and Lake Odessa High School were won. I he personnel of the College High School team were: Deane Knoll. John Eck- wielen and Henry Kuizenga. with Kathryn Benedict as alternate. 1 he debating team was ably coached by Mr. Lawrence F. Vredevoogd of the Senior Class of Hope College. 1‘agt Sf.'snty tit t I’a , S THE E S T O M E 1'ae.t Sr'.'fHty-fr.r JTIf-X jM fi� ,! t THE ——SKKtFKkiaszmammm mileston e I’ngf Sf.'f ity-Mi'tn X)orvn GirLs Vc.'t $ -;Yii y-iii r MILE ST ON E 9X9 SHIPS OI: YESTERDAY t know some ships, to pl their trade.

The V is the only organization on the campus to the membership of which every Hope man is heartily welcome. The reason is not hard to find: this welcome is universal because the appeal of it' purpose is universal. That purpose is to help every man on the campus to that fullest realization of himself which is the result of a living fellowship with Jesus Christ. In order to more efficiently carry out this purpose, the V organization is built around a cabinet of twelve members, four elected and the remainder appointed, which constitutes the administrative body of the group. The cabinet meets every week to take up whatever problems arise in connection with the work and to seek guidance from Him whose we are and whom we serve. The heart of the . M. C. A. is in the weekly meetings, lasting only an hour, at seven o'clock on Tuesday evenings. ’These meetings are of a distinctly religious nature, but they are not concerned with vague speculations about abstruse theological questions.

Hcncs THE STUDENT VOLUNTEER BAND The Student Volunteer group which meets on Hope’s Campus once a week is a small but nevertheless active body. Its main purpose is to keep alive that inspira- tional lire of service in the heart of each individual member. Every student belonging to this group has as his or her purpose — “God will- ing”— to serve Christ in a foreign land just as soon as adequate preparation has been made in this country. The cry today is quality of preparation as well as quantity. The weekly meetings vary in nature. If there is a missionary home on fur- lough. he or she is asked to tell us of the work abroad, of the needs of that particular country as well as the opportunities for giving one's all to Christ. At various inter- vals during the year two or three volunteers go out to the churches to tell the young people of the church what the organization is all about. Hope College has sent out many students once members of this group who have represented the College courageously. They have spread abroad among the people of other nations the knowledge of Hope's leader. Christ. This is a challenge to each student on the Campus.

And in order to prepare ourselves for the opportunities which will come to us in our chosen work of the Gospel Ministry, we meet for an hour every Friday evening to discuss ways and means of better fitting ourselves for that great work. Discussion of the problems we shall have to face also makes up part of our program and in order to teach tt • more about these problems, ministers of wide experience have come to speak to us. These talks have always been of an educational and inspirational nature. In the Christian life we feel that the saying, impression demands expression.” holds true.

The aim of this group is to spread the joy of religion and to extend the gospel of Christ in every way possible, whenever and wherever opportunity offers. It is the desire of this group to mingle and make personal contacts with girls of surrounding High Schools or other groups of young people, that the standards of an ideal Chris- tian Life may hr made higher. isils have been made to Hamilton.

The future months of the college year off r many more opportunities for service, and the girls are keenly interested in complying with these requests. The young women on the various teams find true joy and happiness in serving Christ by using their God-given talents to count for Jesus.

Teams of men have gone out from Hope to the many outlying communities to share with others tin blessings which they feel have come into their lives. The aim of the year's work has been primarily to show to the young people that there is very much in Christian- ity for young people. And while trying to make this fact known to other young folks, we of the Gospel Teams have found for ourselves even richer blessings for ourselves. Gospel Teams were sent during this year to the Sixth Reformed Church of Hol- land. to Middleville. to Caledonia, to Hamilton, to Fcnnville, to Saranac, to Byron (Jenter, to Grand Haven, to Overiesel. to Forest Grove, and to Vriesland. To some of these places, two or more teams have been sent on different dates. f'agt Eighty-flint THE E 19X9 MILE S T O N WINTER ROSE Blooming among the stern and leafless trees.

It is a mark of the strong inti rest existing in music on Hope's campus that the members of the orchestra labored indefatigably to keep the organization together and secure another director. Mr. F.mmons is now acting in that capacity and the promises for a good year’s work in orchestra look bright indeed. New music of a fitting type has been secured and rehearsals are enjoyed, the members profiting by the experience gained and in their ability to afford entertainment for college activities, for to be able to please with music is truly a gift that the world appreciates.

With the advent of the new officers, a very vigorous program was begun. Regular practices were instituted, and a leader was secured. The Seminary responded, providing this leader, and several lacking instruments as well. On the eve of Home Coming Day. November 9, the Rand first appeared in its new sweaters. The funds for the purchase of these sweaters were raised by general contribu- tion of students and faculty, and throughl the sale of tags throughout the city of Holland. The students and townspeople responded in a very generous manner, so that sufficient money was raised to buy the sweaters and further, to start paying their leader. In view of the services rendered the school, the Student Council voted a grant of money to further assist in the payment of the leader. The progress of the institution as a whole has been remarkable. Last year it was a feeble, but growing group, while at the present time it is healthy and thriving. No small part of this is due to the activity of the leader.

I his year the quartette is composed of four entirely different girls, two new ones and two who played last year. I he quartette was an innovation in Western Michigan, and was warmly received. Because there are so few trumpet quartettes, there is very little music suitable for them, and Miss Hondelink wrote or adapted all the music used by tlu Hope Trumpeters in former years. I nder her direction they worked for three years, playing in Hid land and towns and cities in this vicinity, and gave a recital in inants Chapel last May. This year the Hope Trumpeters have practised almost every day and have made several appearances.

Constance assumes the disguise of an Irish waitress in Mrs. Delevan's Club House, and, as Nora O’Brien, makes the tea room very popular, especially to Cruger Blainwood who becomes a frequent visitor.

The play ends with the announcement of “Nora’s” engagement to Cruger. The difficult title role was admirably sustained by Myra Ten Cate, ably supported by a cast of twenty members of the Drama Class. Much humor was provided through- out the play by tin lugubrious sentiments of Susan, played by Anne Heyboer. the gay vivacity of Celeste, a French maid, played by Wilhelmina alvoord. and the keen Irish witticisms of Nora. mong the male characters.

The college orators for both the men's and women’s speakers are chosen each year at local contests, will have been selected for next year by the time this book is published. The women’s contest for this year was scheduled for the sixth of May and the men's for the seventeenth of May. The winners of these respective contests will represent Hope at the next M.O.L. meet to be held at Calvin College. I'aZfOut Hmdr. J Tc:o THE MILE STON E 19X9 A lick Brunson THE POET'S SHARE I he world was new. The gods lias issued an edict proclaiming the division of the earth among men. In response, first came the agriculturists who claimed the fertile lands Then came the merchants who desired the roads and seas: next the monks who chose the slopes suitable for vines. The noblemen came desiring woods and forests for game; and the kings, claiming bridges and defiles to expedite the collection of taxes. Last of all came the poet, but there was no land left; and the gods, in mercy, gave him instead the power to bring at will heaven down to earth. What a glorious gift this, the poet's share! What marvelous ability, the power to experience here and now the inward happiness, contentment and bliss assigned to heaven! And yet do we not all have the power the old legend allotted to the poet? Do not all of us possess the power to be completely and serenely happy, and to make others so? The poet breathes the same air we do, sees the same things, encounters the same everyday occurences and hardships, experiences the same emotions. True, his imagination, vivid and alert, and ever prompted by devotion to the beautiful and ideal, sublimes every common thing into the region of the aesthetic, and so creates a heaven on earth at will. But is imagination limited to poets alone? True, the poet has the gift of expressing the joy and inspiration he feels in beautiful, well-penned verses. But need we write poetry in order to inspire and help our fellowmen? Emerson said. ‘‘All men are poets at heart. Yes. we say. imagination has done as much to make the scientist, the inventor, the ruler, as it has the poet. ision is tin foundation on which has been built every great success: the basis of the simple content- ment or jubilant joy of the lowliest peasant or slave. There are few who have not the poet’s gift: few who may not learn to see things, not only as they are. but with r hi Milestone I 9 3L 9 that spark of imagination that enables one to see the beautiful even in the uglv. the funny in the tragic, worth in the seemingly useless, the uncommon in the common. And if our lives are to be sources of joy to ourselves and inspirations to others, such vision must be cultivated. Napoleon said, ‘imagination rules the world. Truly it does, and has from the beginning of time. When based on faith in the ideal, the good, and beautiful, and backed by energy and will-power, the power of imagination has lifted men from huts to mansions, from cabins to the White House, from despair and hopelessness to joy and victory. When fancy is prompted by discouragement, fear, discontent, jealousy, evil desires, or sinful thoughts, it ever has debased and held men to the ground. The power and influence of imagination is amazing. There is no person in the world whom it fails to affect. If there is one who bemoans his lack of imagination, and pictures himself hopelessly incapable of humor, foresight, and vision, he proves its very exist- ence and strength in his life by the vividness and power of the wretched picture of him- self which his self-depreciation and discouragement paint. Yes, imagination does rule the world. Its strength is definite and undeniable. But unless we make it our servant, we shall become its slave. There i a t ndcncy for all to live passively — to take things as they come, and let them strike us as the moment's mood may dictate. Only seldom do we really exercise our powers of thought and judgment and our common sense. And, as a result, the truth of things is hidden in a maze of feelings, petty worries, and hastily made conclusions. How many days we spoil by brooding over and magnifying some trifling blunder on which we have placed undue importance! How many times we have fretted and wasted precious time and strength on problems that might with propriety he settled by the ‘‘tossing of a coin ! How often, wearied by the work and worries of our everyday life, have we not felt that only we are tired and troubled, that fate has thrust upon our weary backs the brunt and burden of the world's most crushing woes! How many now are dwarfing all their chances to rise and grow, by harboring and nursing in their souls an overwhelmingly vivid picture of themselves, as less original, less capable, less talented and personally pleasing than their associates! How many others, though they may not realize it. are ruining all their chances for happiness because they feel themselves too clever, too superior, too dignified to mingle with and glory in their fellows! Imagination! Oh how much pain and unhappiness we allow it to create! Imagi- nation forgetting truth, hiding truth, ignoring truth — this it is which makes us wretched slaves, and makes our lives mere cruel existences. But there is another type of imagination, which, based on knowledge and honest consideration of truth and fact, is one of life's greatest gifts and greatest helps to joy- ful. enthusiastic living. It is the type that led Abraham Lincoln, filled with strength of purpose, to the presidency and gave him, when a nation's crushing and heart-rending burdens weighed him down, his wellknown. saving sense of humor. It is the type that drew Columbus across forbidding seas to an unknown world. Imagination founded on a proper sense of proportion — founded on the power to recognize at once a thing's importance — brings about a sense of humor, yes. the ability to see the sunny side of tilings. Imagination backed by thorough knowledge of THE M 1 L E S T O M E I 9 X a situation, and impelled by a desire to better or to make use of that situation, is the substance of discovery and invention. Imagination based on the love of beauty rapaci- tates a person for the fullest joys received from deep appreciation of nature and the arts, and enables one to see the beauty in the plain and the otherwise uncomely. Imagination based on Christ s principle of love for all mankind creates in us the power of perfect understanding of associates, and intelligent sympathy and helpfulness and kindness toward all. Imagination based on self-knowledge and an honest appreciation of one's talents and capabilities, makes possible a vision of the place and means that they may be best employed. Imagination based on energy, ambition, and self- confidence sees victory and success through failure and defeat: founded on faith in the power of good, sees hope beyond the blackest hour. Such imagination is of the type that may create for us a heaven on earth. If imagination is to make our lives a joy and inspiration, it must be founded on knowl- edge of the truth, on faith in all that is beautiful, ideal, and good, and above all. in devotion to the God who gave us all good things—who sacrificed His son that we might sec in Him exemplified the life of perfect peace, and joy, and beauty. Friends, such imagination may be cultivated. Our individual modes of thinking or imagining are merely matters of habit. And will-power and determination can change any habit. Why i it not just as easy to imagine ourselves capable, fortunate, happy, and successful, as to picture ourselves hopelessly inferior, unfortunate, and unhappy failures? Why can we not just as easily imagine our future supreme, as to foresee it merely as mediocre? Our present outlook will determine to a large extent what that future will be. The value of constructive imagination is inconceivable. Throughout the ages it has written history, built and rebuilt empires, conquered thrones, made kings and leaders, prophets, bards, inventors: raised men from tin crudest primitive life to the wonders and complexities of modern civilization. Before the laying of a single stone, the architect sees and plans his structure. Be fore the masterpiece is scarce begun, the artist sees a vision far more lovely. Before the writing of a single melody, there was a song of matchless beauty singing in the author's soul. W ithout active, constructive imagination, life becomes a drudgery, or at most, a mere existence: work becomes a bore and a grind: contact with our fellows becomes a necessary but wearing strain upon our patience. Happiness is an inward thing. If we are unhappy, it is because we have a vivid mental picture of ourself, unfortunate and wretched. II we are every moment glad to be alive, it is because we see ourselves happy and blessed. If we are successful, it is because we have ever seen success through seeming failures and defeat. If we are unsuccessful and have lost all hope to rise, it is likely because we have seen in these same difficulties unsurmountable barriers, and have allowed to grow within us an overwhelming sense of hopeless failure, self-deficiency, and inability. In a weird and tragic story by Calderon, the hero is constantly haunted and thwarted by a mysterious figure in a mask. At last when the mask is lifted, to his surprise, his own features are revealed. How often do we merely exist! How seldom do we really live! How often the fault lies in ourselves alone the masked man holding us back! THE I 9 X 9 MILESTON E Let n not stand in our own way. Let us not be slaves to a ruler that grinds us t the ground, but triumphant masters of a gloriously helpful and creative servant. lx t us not allow our imaginations to tarnish truth, but brighten it. Let us see things as they really are. and then look beyond reality to something that is far superior. Imagination does and will rule. It can crush us to the earth, or make every day of our live?, a glorious, enthralling opportunity and adventure. Which shall it be? The poet’s share is ours, if we but realize it. M. O. L.

Olivet. milestone - v v • 9 X Arthur Mich.mershuizen MINISTERING AMERICA A nation of bootleggers, gunmen, female vampires and dissolute clergymen — such is the growing impression overseas of what is typical of the people of the United States! Motion picture producers, novelists, and playwrights have concentrated their energies for the past several years toward convincing the world outside of our borders that criminality and every manner of venality and viciousness are overwhelmingly dominant throughout our social structure. Our better side, in the meantime, is carica- tured and burlesqued. To foreigners our nation is seemingly a humorless, colorless edition of Eighteenth Century England, bent on enriching itself at the expense of personal honor and honesty. To complicate matters there arc also Americans, so called, who are slandering our country abroad. By spreading this damaging propaganda, they are. therefore, making it extremely hard for us to keep on amicable terms with our neighboring countries. Many of the books and plays by writers of this sort are hailed by the mentors of criticism in our great cities as works of supreme excellence. Once they are boosted sufficiently at home, they find their way abroad, where they are welcomed by an undis- criminating multitude, eagerly willing to accept the characterizations at their face value as achievements of art and truth by gifted American literati. Is it any wonder that the typical foreigners of the quiet better sort, who rarely travel far from home, commonly remark. If Americans are pretty generally of this stamp, they ought to be wiped off the face of the earth! There are modern writers who seem to take great delight in slandering our govern- ’df One IIundud StvfH THE mileston e • 9X9 ment. Next they love best to discuss cynically the baseness of American business and the American business man. Hut the most despicable writer of all is he who directs his satire at the American home and the American family as an institution. The damage done by these writers is not great here where we know the facts, but their works are read throughout Europe, where they give a mistaken impression of us and of our social customs. These writers have partially succeeded in developing a superlative degree of proficiency in their attack on whatever might hear the label of Americanism. It seems that great numbers of so-called culture clubs and literary societies throughout the United States have been readily bamboozled into following this phase of thinking, that as a nation we are realistically unique. So we see that, after all. we are partially to blame for this black eye that we are getting. To capitalize on this fad has been supremely profitable for the novelists and playwrights. The strife among them has been to set the pace in exaggerating or burlesqing whatever is foul or vile in our human nature and presenting this as typically American. We are promised, through this process of ’’cleansing satire.' a dazzling place in the limelight. If you take a very light view of the situation, it is easy to say. “W ith our income of ninety billion dollars a year and our magnificent; standard of living, why should we worry? Of course, the rest of the world is jealous of us: why then cart that they think all our clergymen are Elmer Gantrys. that all our capitalists are well-dressed thugs, that pro- hibition has brought only debauchery to our homes! There is nothing easier than being egotistical about such things and coddling our self-conceit, but there is very little pride or manhood in such an attitude. Even the least intelligent and those more indifferent toward us know that we have a better side. The question is. then: Have we enough sense of patriotism left in us to demand that our slanderers and detractors be compelled to tell at least a part of the truth? In Europe's own interest it is time that tins erroneous impression be countered by a succession of plays dealing with something more closely approximating the real life of our misunderstood country. This is happening at the present time, for many of our famous dramatists are producing plays that are masterpieces and worthy to be read and acted the world over. Further, American movies are in great demand by movie fans in Europe, and we have a wonderful opportunity to present to them Amer- ican principles and ideals and to foster a cordial good-will between nations. America is awake to the fact that she holds a position of supreme influence, and that she can make the world worse or better just as she wills. America is on the right road because she believes in the idea that brought the Quakers from England and the Hugenots from France. It is one of the most powerful ideas in the world, hidden within the very warp and woof of American life, keeping the American spirit alive. We believe in the God of the Pioneer Pilgrims. Our mission- aries are working diligently to spread Christianity throughout the land. Our engineers are spending their lives in foreign countries, laboring to install modern and sanitary living conditions. It seems, however, that we are not welcomed by other countries. They seem to think that we are rich and avaricious. Lindbergh, however, showed them that there are Americans who refuse wealth. What about the Panama Canal, which we built at a great expense and now operate at mere cost? What did the United States gel from the Spanish-American war and the World War? ere we bent on material gain? I'ags Ont Hundred Eifiht THE MILE ST E • 9X9 it is not pleasant to he misunderstood, and if the I nited States is to hlarne for this misunderstanding, should she not do her best to straighten out the matter? There is only one thing that can check this outpouring of slander to the four corners of the earth: an honest and unafraid protest at home, that will nullify all the derogatory statements of our calumniators. It is the duty of every one of us to raise this protest. We Americans have many problems to solve, many evils to fight, and many deeds to do if we have the wisdom, the strength, the courage, and the virtue to do them. Our nation is that one among the nations of the earth which holds in its hands the fate of the coming years. We enjoy exceptional advantages and art menaced with exceptional dangers, and we shall triumph as a nation if we seriously investigate evil and attack it with unyielding resolution, lint there remains to us a great duty of defense and preservation, and there is open to us a noble pursuit to which the spirit of the times strongly invites us. In a day of peace let us advance the acts of peace. Let us develop the resources of our land, build up its institutions, promote all of its great interests, and sec whether we also in our time may not perform something worthy to be remem- bered. Let us cultivate a spirit of union and harmony, and rear for our country a vast and splendid monument of peace and liberty, upon which the world may look with admiration. We know that w« are not perfect. There are many things we must change, and to effect this change we must bring to the solution of every problem this spirit: an intense and fervid Americanism. A large percentage of our crime, statistics show, is perpetrated by the foreign element in our large cities. This forcefully brings to us the necessity of more severe immigration laws as well as a substantial reduction of the number admitted to our crowded shores. I’ncle Sam has proved himself a very decent and honorable member of international society. By receiving with open arms all the races of the world, he has welded a diversified family into an orderly nation of over one hundred million people. We must Americanize those already here, in speech, in political ideas and principles, and in their way of looking at the relations between church and State. We shall never do away with crime unless all of the foreigners in America become Amer- icans in heart and soul, in spirit and purpose, keenly alive to the responsibility implied in the very title of American, and proud beyond measure of the glorious privilege of bearing this exalted name. W e Vmericans must set a good example for these future citizens. W e must learn to discriminate between propaganda and literature worth reading. Already our -chools and colleges are fast doing away with illiteracy and are creating a demand for the best literature. Foreign students attending these institutions know that the propa- ganda spread in F.urope slande ring the1 people of the I nited States is absolutely false. Our copvright union is becoming more stringet in the censorship of plays and books, thus preventing playwrights and authors from falsely defaming our country. Nothing definite will be accomplished, however, until we get a keener sense of loyalty towards our own country. To apologize for being American is too common among us. The word patriotism” seems to have become obsolete in our vocabularies. But when we once again thrill to the strains of our national anthems, and doff our hats to the colors. Page One Hundred .Vine H E MILE STON E 19X9 y v then, and not until then, will all those who slander us creep into the shadows and disappear. We have nothing to be ashamed of. We are rich, but we have toiled and labored in our own country for our wealth. We have grown rich because we had the brains to invent. We have done one remarkable thing by lifting the education of the entire nation to a point never reached by any other nation. W e have had more full stomachs: we have spread luxuries among the people more widely even than have some of the countries which are our most severe critics. Against foreign criticism and malicious propaganda what have we to offer? Well, nothing but real equality of opportunity. Nothing but the fact that every office boy carries in his pocket the key to the president's office. Nothing hut the knowledge that intelligence and industry can get you anywhere you may want to go. Nothing, in short, but those very things which any and every nation of Europe would give its heart and soul to possess in just half the degree that is ours: national honesty of purpose, national good sportsmanship, national integrity — qualities which every other nation recognizes as essential and depends upon every day of its life. Triumphant in this, may we never forget that the great need of America today is a “full-statured Christ. “America, America. Torchbearer of the free. Upon thine ample shield I read Law, Order.

The membership this year was very small due to the losses sustained through graduation of last year s class. Membership cannot be filled out by appointment as the fraternity is purely an hon- orary one: students who have taken part in collegiate debate or who have represented their college in an oratorical contest are alone eligible. Opportunity for participation in such activity is furnished through Hope's mem- bership in the Michigan Debating and Oratorical Leagues. Further opportunities for meriting membership in this organization are made possible through intersectional and national conventions of the Pi Kappa Delta. During the last few years it has been customary to hold a spring banquet. This furnishes an opportunity for the active and alumni members to reacquaint themselves with the ideals and efforts of the Fraternity and adds zest to the year's acti iti s. Pate Ont llundud Thirlffn THE MILESTOM t « •+ I 9X9 THE ANCHOR i lie 1928 Anchor witnessed many changes, so that by the time the end of the year rolled around, the staff has been quite revised. The first editor. Harms Bloemers, who started the work with such promise and who put out many issues of the best Anchor we had seen for a long time, was forced to leave school on account of ill-health, and his rather heavy cloak fell on the should rs of a coed. However, this uncertain year saw the Coed Edition' an innovation in honor of Leap Year and the Sophomore and Freshman Anchors were of the best. The 1928 Anchor saw the College through a difficult crisis of indifference and dissatisfaction, and on the road to better feeling. The paper was enlarged and improved. Our policy has been: Hope for Hope-ites and Hope-ites for the world. We recog- ni .t in Hope College a spirit that cannot he copied by larger or smaller schools and which is not improved by copying other schools, and we have sought to keep alive this individuality in the news of the school and in recording the doings of Hope's alumni and friends.

Here, though we live under more or less artificial conditions, nevertheless we live—Life. The embryo citizen of the world is subjected to influences similar to those which he will encounter in later days. Its whole purpose is to enable him to get his bearings, to decide which of these influences shall be the predominant factor in his subsequent con- tacts with the world. Cosmos believes that Society Life has an important part to play in this process of orientation. Here a man can learn the reactions of his fellows to his ways of thought and action, and can shape himself accordingly. He learns the essentiality of a sane, charitable, optimistic “slant on men and things. Best of all he learns the heartening thrill of real sympathetic understanding that flows through a man-to-man hand-shake, with all it implies of lasting friendship and brotherhood. Cosmos recognizes no conflict between societies and the school as a whole. Diver- sification i not disunion. The ideals of Hope are the ideals of Cosmos. As a unit we are pledged to entwine with the Orange and Blue the Green and White of “Old Cosmos and enshrine with the Royalty and Loyalty of our beloved Alma Mater, the trilateral standard of Cosmos—Friendship. Truth, and Progress. No ocean can this band dissever. No age destroy that sacred tie; Though we travel far away. Though our hair be turning gray. We will give her our love till we die!

THE MILE S T O N E 9X9 EMERSONIAN The year 1929 marks the close of the tenth year that the Emersonian Society has been upon Hope’s campus as an actively organized group. This period has been marked with steady progress, at times slow, but always forward. The second article of the Constitution states that: “The purpose of this Society shall be the development of its members from a moral, social, intellectual, and literary standpoint. This thought is kept constantly in mind in all the activities of the Society, and with the passage of the years of his college life every member realizes to a fuller extent the great part his Society has taken in putting him in the position in which he finds himself, morally, socially, and intellectually. Letters from alumni members indicate that more and more as life goes on. do they realize the breadth and value of the training they received in their four years as Emersonians. The patron “saint” of the Society is Ralph Waldro Emerson, the greatest of American philosophers. No thing further would have to be said of our activities, other than that we are attempting to truly follow’ the precept of this man: a man who had the genius to write. “The power «if a man increases steadily by continuance in one direction. He becomes acquainted with the resistances and with hi' own tools: increases bis skill and strength and learns the favorable moments and favorable accidents. He is bis own apprentice, and more time gives a great addition of power, just as a falling body acquires momentum with every foot of the fall.

Addison as a social group spreads her arms to the light, welcomes truth, encour- ages culture—stands for an abundant life. Through social contact and group responsibility, leadership emerges as a knight filled with wonder and joy at new-found powers.

Throughout life’s journey we need the encouragement and strength from associa- tion with others who have a similar philosophy of life and are striving for the same high goal. Alethea has supplied that need and in the cultivation of friendship and helpfulness in the smaller group we are learning the art of friendship and helpfulness in the larger group. Alethea does not tend to limit our circle of friendships hut to expand it and to cause the range of our vision to take in all humanity in its pledge of service. Alethea has been an inspiration to each of us and has helped to create a spirit of true loyalty combined with a sincere love for our Alma Mater and each other. Because we have put our best into our educational and social pleasures we have been able to achieve a greater literary ability. Then sing to the rose ami blue.

Bremer CHEMISTRY CLUB o man with his eye upon the trend of human development can deny that at the present time more than at any other period in its history the world lives, moves, and lias its being in the test tube. The whole fabric of modern existence is woven so closely with that of the science of Chemistry that to separate them would result in a throwback in progress of many centuries. And age in which a substance hundreds of times sweeter than sugar, colors more brilliant than indigo, flavors better than the fruits themselves, perfumes sweeter than the rose, and disinfectants safer than car- bolic acid, may all be manufactured from the same black pitch — coal tar. An age in which the clothes we wear and the food we eat may both he prepared from saw- dust. An age in which we get a motor fuel from corn husks, and the buttons on our coat from milk. That truly is an age of Chemistry. Then. loo. no one will deny that in any field of endeavor whatsoever, the highest possible development can come only as a result of the closest cooperation of the workers in that field, and the intensive and extensive correlation of material such cooperation affords. To the fact that these two situations do exist, the Hope College Chemistry Club owes its existence and development. The members have pledged themselves to the work of the retort and balance; and have bonded themselves together for the purpose of greater development, and freer expression.

These students are brought together because of their common aim and because their conception of the future makes them aware of certain common needs. A stepping stone to success in their chosen profession is offered in the form of the Pre-medic Club. The society feels that there is afforded to its members a feeling of unity that will endure. It presents a true outlook on subsequent study and the professional career, and at the same time invaluable instruction is given, and discussion carried on with a different aspec t than that of the classroom. Lectures are given by prominent men. The students read papers on subjects of interest and instruction, and a discus- sion is carried on about them at the bi-monthly meetings. Especially through our college course we hold our ideals before us. pressing toward this goal, that we may offer to our race the best that is in us. and that our descendants may profit by our attainments, for our aim is to leave to them a blessed heritage for which we now hear a crying need.

Modern civilization has developed from wild savagery only through the progress of science. By it we are enabled to build our homes, to have automobiles, to cure our sick, and to converse with one another through thou- sands of miles of space. The American scientist has been in a large measure respon- sible for the position of respect and influence which America holds among the nations of the world. It is only through the continued progress of science that we can hope to see the future race more efficient and stronger than the present. Science is destined to fill a greater and greater part in the development of the future generation. The Science Club of Hope College aims to develop the natural scientific inter- ests of its members into more active, dynamic interests, and to show the individual the important place that science holds in everyday modern life. The programs, which are not restricted to any particular field, afford each member a broad conception of the relation of his individual field to the general. As members of the science club it is our task to fit ourselves for service to humanity, by mastery of some particular field of science. As those great men who have gone before, looked into the future, and committeed themselves to the task of making this the best of all ages to live in, so are we committing ourselves to the task of making the future an ever more and more glorious future to live in. President______ Vice-President Secretary______ OFFICERS Joe Dk im:s -Leon De Pkke Adrian Ki yper MILESTONE - % 9 Coach John Sciioutkn A WORD FROM THE COACH Athletics play a definite part in the work of an educational in titution. It is the classroom and the gymnasium cooperating that will accomplish the most lor the indi- vidual student. Athle'ics accomplish two major things: they develop a man physically and they assist in the formation of character. Hard training 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 overcome 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 sportsmanship 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 sportsman,—these are the things which build character. Hope College has always maintained a high standard of sportsmanship. It i 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, basketball, 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.

Tlie Board of Control passes upon the eligibility of the members of the athletic teams. The Athletic: Board, the student organization, experienced the re-assumption of many of its duties this year. The coach wa relieved of much of the work which by right should have been taken care of b the students. The students are now aware of the responsibilities which are theirs, and the coach has more time for the execution of his office of Athletic Director. The Athletic Board presented a number of “Fun Niles' which proved entertain- ing for the audience and profitable for the Board. This year has seen a great step taken toward the removal of debt in the athletic department.

The outlook appeared bright with the return of many veterans, the team lacking only two infielders and two outfielders of being a veteran squad. The team, captained by Oppic I)e Groot at short stop, showed very good baseball at times, but lacked the steadiness and polish of a sure winner. Hope's first game was played at Riverview park against the strong Western State Teacher’s college. Many errors led to an H-l victory for Western. This game, how- ever. ironed out many of the rough spots in the Hope team. On April 21. Albion swamped Hope again as the results of errors 71. Cole pitched a good game for Hope but bis team mates could glean but one run during the entire match. On April 25 Hope engaged Kazoo College on its campus diamond and was swamped by a 10-1 score. Cole had much difficulty with the Kazoo batters, while Watson of Kazoo held the Hope men to four hits. The Orange and Blue found its baseball form against Hillsdale in a double header on their diamond. The first game Hope took by a 5-3 score. The second game was taken by Hope 12-0. Cole pitched through the first game, and with good support, held the Hillsdale nine to three runs. Van Lente pitched a shutout game in the second of the double-header. On May 5. Kazoo took the breaks in a close game and won 2-1. Hope made five hits to Kazoo's four but could not turn theirs into the necessary runs.

Cole yielded but live hits to the Olivet batters. l this point Hope tood in third place in the M.I. . . run, having four wins and three losses. Good fortune did not smile on the Hope nine, for after twelve long innings of desperate lighting, the Hope squad cracked, and Mbion, the association leaders, took a 10-5 win. Hope missed chances of bringing in the much-needed runs by poor bat- ting, but the experienced Albion crew came through with live runs on hits and errors in the third extra inning of the match. This was the last regular season game, but at the Mbion field day on June I and 2. Hope again played Albion and this time was defeated l7-( . Van Lente and Cole were hit often and hard. M.S.C. tlnn showed their superiority by giving Hope an 11-0 defeat. The Staters had everything their wa during the game, but Hope showed up well consider- ing the competition. The team ended the season in fourth place in the M.I.A.A. race and conducted themselves well during the whole season. Coach Schouten is to be commended on the baseball team and the work he has done with them. Of this team, three men graduate, leaving a veteran squad with which to start next year.

M I.eeuhouts FRESHMAN BASEBALL The Freshman baseball team was organized mainly for the purpose of finding material which could be used in the varsit) in the years to come. The frosh played a number of teams of the community and of the neighboring vicinity. The team was also used several times against the varsity for practice. Mthough the frosh season was rather short, it served to point out the possibili- ties of sev ral players. Coach Schouten believes that several of the boys can be made into real players.

I)e Youiir FOOTBALL, 1928 Hope entered the football season with a nucleus � f seven veterans and at the first call. Coach Jack Schoutcn began to whip his team into shape. To all appearances In had a veteran line, but an inexperienced backfield with which to battle the strong M.I.A.A. teams. The offensive of this team was to be developed before any success of the team could be assured. Several weeks of training had developed the team to a good physical condition but the problem of filling in a good backfield was not so easily solved. The best solu- tion seemed to be in Cook as fullback. I)e Young and He elder as halves, and Jap- pinga as quarter. Captain Vanden Bush led the strong line with experienced players at all the line positions. i'a t One Hundred Sixty-lu.o R. D« Youni? A. Coot: A. Vandin Rush H. Steffens J. Klay The first game was played at Kiverview park September 28 against Olivet. The weakness of the team then became apparent. Though neither team scored, both teams fought hard. Hope seemed weak in blocking an aerial attack and in co-operation between backfield and line, while Olivet could do nothing against the Hope line. Steffens and Martin broke through in fine form, but the lines' efforts could not offset the scoreless tie. The next Saturday Hope journeyed to Hillsdale where they earned the name of “Scoreless Wonders ' at Olivet the teams lacked the offensive power but the defense seemed to be proportionately strong, in this game the teams were evenly matched. Coach Schouten extended his efforts to put his team in shape for the hard approaching games of the schedule. Tlu third game of the eason presented the greatest difficulties the team had yet met. Alma. 26 and 27 champions, was anxious to make a record of three successive championships. Their superior teamwork, weight, and cleverness overcame the fight- ing Hopites and won out 12-0.

I)e Voider The experience and clever tactics of the Alma crew was lacking in Hope's machine, but Alma had great difficulty in scoring her twelve points. Successive line smashes both times placed the ball near the Hope goal line where the strong hope line failed to hold hack Alma's heavy artillery. Hope celebrated her homecoming day in a record game with the Kazoo College eleven. The return of Alumni brought a record crowd to see Kazoo defeat Hope 7-0. To all appearances Hope should at least have equaled the lone touchdown of the Celery Pickers. A pretty run. a penalty, two line bucks, gave Kazoo the ball on Hope s one-yard line where they could not be stopped. The team fought desperately to even the score but the whistle ended the bitter struggle. De Young and Cook played very well in the backfield and the whole line was to be commended on their light and ability. The greatest football the 1928 team played was in the game at Albion in which the lighting Dutchmen took the short end of a 7-0 score. Albion got a flying start, scoring in the first two minutes of play, but thereafter they had all they could do to keep their record as an undefeated team. After the first few minutes, though the game was played in a steady rain, the Albion team was forced to use all its strength in holding Hope. Winter punted well. Becker. Klay. Brunson. I)e Young and Cook all shared in smashing the clever plays of the M.I.A.A. champions. THE M I L E S T O M E • 9 S. Do Pree H. Jappinga A.

Farly in the game, a Flint man ran thirty-five yards for a touchdown after which he kicked the extra point.

The line was able to open up holes for the ball toters better than ever before and. also, the Flint team was unable to break through on Hope's plays. Hope's hard tackling was also a feature of the game. Although not an M.I.A.A. game, it clearlv showed the capabilities of the Hope sc|uad. Although the season did not produce wins, yet it showed clearly the scrappiness of the Hope squad. Pate One If undeed Siyly-'i.-e MILESTON E 19X9 ■r T H II. Hoffman. V. Spoelsera, J. Houma, A.

Paul Nettinga assisted Coach Schouten in making a team that offered plenty of opposition to the varsity and to the other freshman teams that were played. In the first game, Hillsdale yearlings were overcome by the Hope team. Alma and Kazoo College defeated the Frosh but this was due largely to lack of experience in the young Hopites. Dalman and Beaver showed varsity possibilities in the General Motors games and the team as a whole is to be commended for sportsmanship and ability. ()nr H!■ fd Sixty- M� J. Sellouteii, W.

Vander Hill was unable to play because of ill- ness but the return of Cook to tin game was an important addition to Coach Schou- ten's quintet. As usual, interest was manifest in the game early in the season and the early practice games resulted in the Hope team whipping their early rivals. After a few practice games Manager De elder arranged a trip through Michigan. Illinois, and Iowa. These games were contested with indifferent success. Hope was successful in two of the seven games played against real competition. On January I Hope struck a stone wall in the Holer's of Grand Rapids. Hope lost its second game to Kazoo Normal and again was defeated by the surpising Hills- dale team by the close score of 29-26.

The Orange and Blue again suffered a relapse before the Hillsdale kasketeers. Martin and Cook played all the basketball for Hope but they could not offset some clever passwork by the Hillsdale quintet. In a stirring contest the St. Mary’s College team pulled ahead of the Orange and Blue to win 28-26.

The duty of Coach Schouten appeared to be to weld togetlu r a team from this assorted material that could work together. This freshman team made an enviable record for itself, winning all its games on the home floor and losing but two away. The yearlings defeated all the class teams the College Ml Stars twice, tin Olivet Frosh, and twice the Calvin Reserves. Kazoo s freshmen barely won a victory over the frosh, while Albion's team had a real tussel overcoming the Hope youngsters. The large floor at Albion did much to bring defeat to the Hope yearlings. Since no Freshman team can play more than six games in M.I.A.A. circles, the Frosh had little chance for real competition or experience. However, most of the material will prove valuable as varsity material within the next two years. Ont Hundred S .snty-t::o E S T O N t X 9 E. Swartliout. H. I.;iur, C. Koztma, M. Mccngs, J. Mulder K.

The idea that hundreds of people trust some banker with their surplus funds, and he puts those funds at the service of the community as a whole through loaning them to persons who re- deposit them, to be reloaned and redeposited again, so that the bank, a bundle of individual trusts of rich and poor, becomes one of the fulcrums upon which civilization turns.” We mint every student to use the futilities of this Bunk, which is the largest and strongest in Ottawa County.
