Our Dean has embarked for the last and greatest Port, and we, who still sail on, fasten- ing our eyes upon his enduring ideal, reverently salute his passing. HOPE COLLEGE M E JOHN BERNARD NYKERK (1861-1936) On October 25, 1936, Dr. John B. Nykerk passed quietly from the scene of his labors. His death came as a distinct shock to the faculty, students, and friends of Hope College. The names of Hope College and Dr. Nykerk have been asso- ciated almost as one for more than fifty years. Dr. Nykerk was born at Overisel, Michigan, on September 13, 1861. When he had completed his elementary education, he entered the Academy of Hope College, and graduated from there in 1880. After teaching for a short period in the township schools he returned to Hope College and was graduated as the valedictorian of the Class of 1885. In September of the same year he was appointed instructor in the Academy, later organized as the College High School. In 1895 he was chosen Professor of English Language and Literature at the college. He became Hope's Dean of Men in 1918. After eighteen years of service in this capacity, in April, 1936, he resigned as Dean and as head of the Department of English. However, the Board of Trustees of Hope Col- lege at once appointed him Emeritus Professor of English. This long period of service was interrupted only twice during 1890-91 —when he was engaged as a teacher of English at the Northwestern Classical Acad- emy, and again when he spent a year and a half at Oxford University, Eng- land, in graduate study of Early English and Anglo-Saxon literature. Dr. Nykerk was a musician of the highest order. As a baritone singer he ranked among the first musicians of Michigan, doing concert and choral work not only throughout the state, but also at Chautauqua and Institute Assem- blies throughout the east and west. He was director of music at Hope Col- lege, conducting glee clubs, the Choral Union, and other similar organizations until recent years. He organized and directed the Hope College Lyceum in the late nineties and continued to bring artists and speakers of fame to the school until the outbreak of the World War. Among the most outstanding American orators whom Dr. Nykerk knew personally and engaged for his lec- ture programs were William Jennings Bryan, Robert La Follette, Sr., Newell Dwight Hillis, Russell H. Conwell, and Senator A. H. Beveridge. In all of his activities in the Lyceum he sought to augment his work as a teacher of music and oratory. He had to his credit a larger number of prize- winning student orators than any other instructor in the Michigan Oratorical League. In recognition of the prominent position which he had attained in these pursuits, Hope College conferred the honorary degree of Doctor of Let- ters upon him in 1920. At the time of his death Dr. Nykerk was a member of the Holland Rotary Club, the National Educational Association, the Michigan Educational Association, and the Author's Association of Michigan. He was also a writer of the Oxford Dictionary group and had submitted to the editors at London a division on Old Dutch, or Frisian, and Anglo-Saxon—a part of the never-finished section for which he was responsible, and on which he was considered an authority.

Several other college functions followed up this affair, among these being the All-College Alumni Banquet, which was added to the list of Home- coming activities; the annual Frosh-Soph contests; the Freshman trial; an interesting Get-Acquainted and Dutch Treat Week; a successful trip to Kala- mazoo to see Hope's team win the basketball championship; and the annual All-College Spring Banquet. Student Council greatly augmented its usefulness by altering its system oi representation. Representation is to be based on literary societies rather than classes. This enlarges the membership from nine to fifteen and renders the group more representative of the student body. Another forward step was taken in electing a purser to administer the Student Activities Fee to the vari- ous organizations. Cooperating with the Anchor, an Inter-fraternity Track Meet was sponsored with large student participation. Thus, through numer- ous innovations, the retiring Council served Hope in a noteworthy manner.

PI KAPPA DELTA Behind every forensic activity at Hope College is the Michigan Gamma chap- ter of Pi Kappa Delta, national honor forensic fraternity. Its aim, both nation- ally and at Hope, is to promote and encourage all speech activity, whether debate, oratory, or extempore speech. From the fall reunion to the spring banquet in May, the year has been an eventful one for Michigan Gamma. For the first time, monthly meetings with guest speakers were instituted, proving highly successful not only in arousing interest but also in aiding in a better management of forensics. The chapter again sponsored a High School Debate Tournament with many schools par- ticipating. Ten delegates were sent to the Province of the Lakes Convention at Kalamazoo to engage in various speech contests. The spring banquet, held at the Holland Country Club, was a fitting climax to the year. The large number of neophytes initiated at that time gives prom- ise of making Michigan Gamma of even greater importance on Hope's campus. OFFICERS President—Richard Smith Vice-president—Christine Verhulst Secretary-Treasurer—Allen Cook [61 ] L E S T O N E LUCILLE BUTER Women’s Orator BUTER With an effective, sincere oration on automobile accidents. Miss Lucille Buter won her way to a State Championship in the Michigan Intercolle- giate Speech League. Displaying a true orator's poise and power, she graphically presented the conditions leading to thirty-six thousand deaths in one year. She then reached a vivid climax with the words which constituted the title of her oration. Live and Let Live! An innovation was made in sending the college orator to the Inter- state Oratorical Contest in Chicago, in which eleven states were represented. Through many months of hard work and practice, Miss Buter was expertly coached by Miss Metta Ross. • • • TIRRELL After winning the local contest with a peace ora- tion, Mr. Earnest Tirrell placed fourth in the state contest with an oration entitled Liberty or Law! In this up-to-the-minute speech he analyzed the problem of the anthracite coal miners and the sit-down strikers, pointing out that our laws lag behind the will of the people and that they must be renovated to meet changing conditions. Under the able coaching of Dr. Rolland Shackson, the college orator showed his true form by winning second place in a field of representatives of seven states at the Province of the Lakes Convention of Pi Kappa Delta. EARNEST TIRRELL Men’s Orator [62] HOPE C MILESTONE NYLAND With but a recent beginning, extempore speak- ing has placed itself among the leading speech activities on Hope's campus. In the local con- test. Miss Alma Nyland of Martin, Michigan, was chosen to represent the college at Battle Creek Here the Hope representative tied for third place in a hard-fought contest. Though also debating at the Pi Kappa Delta Convention in Kalamazoo, Miss Nyland found time to qualify for the final contest in extempore. Again she bore high the name of Hope College by receiving fourth place in the final frame. ALMA NYLAND Women's Extempore Speaker • • • DEL TE PASKE Men's Extempore Speaker TE PASKE Constantly increasing interest has been shown in this type of public speech. Its appeal, no doubt, lies in its call for quick, clear thinking while speaking. Two local contests were neces- sary to finally select from seven other contest- ants Mr. Del Te Paske of Sioux Center, Iowa. The subjects ranged over the entire political world, making extensive preparation necessary. At Battle Creek Mr. Te Paske spoke on the subject, “The League of Nations and Peace. Though failing to place, the Hope speaker was well re- ceived, as he had travelled in Europe and spoke from first-hand information. [63] Seated L. Dc Vries. P.. Sluyter. A. Nyland. Prof. ( Dc Ctraaf.

Not only upper class women, but also the Freshmen took an active part in this speech activity. Professor Clarence De Graaf coached five teams which en- gaged in intercollegiate debating. During the season twenty-one non-decision and twenty-two decision debates were held with other colleges. The group won eleven of the decision debates in which they engaged. The women opened the season by traveling to Western State Teachers' College in Kalamazoo where a practice tournament had been arranged. The women were given the opportunity to meet the students from the neighboring colleges and to engage in debates with them. The next major event was the state debate tournament, which was held at Michigan State College, February 20. All of the five teams debated, v inning one-half of the total number of the con- tests. The season was brought to a close at the Pi Kappa Delta Provincial Tournament held at Kalamazoo College, April 2 and 3. Two teams were sent to this conference to debate colleges from Michigcn, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky. Of the ten debates in which they engaged, five were decisions in favor of the Hope girls. The question debated was the same as that discussed by the men. Resolved: That Congress shall be empowered to fix minimum wages and maximum hours for industry. HOPE COLLEGE MILESTONE 9 3 MEN'S DEBATE The men's debate season began with twelve teams debating the question, Resolved: That Congress be empowered to fix minimum wages and maxi- mum hours for industry. Heated arguments on this year's topic commenced with a series of practice debates with Kalamazoo College and Western State. On January 21 the best debaters from five Michigan schools came to Hope's campus to participate in an invitational tournament. Hope fraternities and sororities acted as hosts to the guests. The Michigan Intercollegiate Tournament was held at Ypsilanti and eight of the men's teams made the trip to the east side of the state. Hope men emerged with four victories and four losses. Several teams extended their trip to Detroit and engaged in debates with schools in that vicinity. Hope debaters have been privileged this year in meeting a large number of colleges. Two men's teams accepted the invitation of Calvin College to their tournament, and we likewise enjoyed the privilege of entertaining representa- tives from Central College of Pella, Iowa. The climax of the debate season was reached at the Provincial Pi Kappa Delta Tournament held in April at Kalamazoo College. Entrants in this affair in- cluded schools from several states. In this high calibre of competition the Hope men won six of their ten contests. The season closed with a radio dis- cussion from Station WJJD, Chicago, on the timely subject of sit-down strikes. The motto for next year's veteran squad will be On to Topeka for the Na- tional Pi Kappa Delta Convention.' lit Row: H. I.ubcn. D. Van I.icre. H. Buys, Prof. R. Shackson, P. Vandcn Bcrgc, li.

The students immediately displayed a hearty interest in this dramatic activ- ity, valuable for its development of appreciation in spoken verse. Miss Mildred Vanden Bos of Sioux Center Iowa, was the victor in the women's contest. At Michigan State College she read three poems in a most commendable manner, receiv- ing the praise of competent critics. It is hoped that this is but the beginning of a revival in this forensic activity, this being one of many new projects inaugurated by Dr. Shackson and Pi Kappa Delta. WASSENAAR Peace oratory received advanced standing at Hope this year with the institution of a prize of twenty-five dollars for the college winner. Mr. Lester Wassenaar qualified as recipient of this prize with his peace oration entitled, Munitions, Money, and Men! Through the help of Dr. Shackson, Mr. Wassenaar prepared a very ef- fective oration for the state contest, in which nine schools participated. In addition Mr. Wassenaar is worthy of double honor for his winning the men's interpretative reading contest. With three classics in verse, he represented Hope at Michi- gan State College in the final state contest.

THE ANCHOR This year new and timely features, concise news reports, and thought-provok- ing editorials have made the ''Anchor” more than ever one of the outstanding achievements of Hope College under-graduates. Under the leadership of Andrew Lampen, Editor-in-chief, the ''Anchor” has achieved the highest rating possible in the Associated Collegiate Press to which it belongs. Greater interest than usual has been shown in Anchor” work by freshmen this year, with many of them joining the staff in the fall. Opportunities, in the form of the Women's Oratorical victory and the M I.A A Basketball Cham- pionship, have made this year's A.nchor , and its extras, doubly interesting. The introduction of new columns and a greater number of campus photo- graphs have also resulted in increased popularity on the part of both students and alumni. The faculty committee on publications Miss Ross, advisor; Professor De Graaf, business advisor; and Professors McLean and Shackson—has again main- tained a helpful and friendly attitude toward the Anchor” and the work of its staff.

GRACE D. FENTON Director of Women's Glee Club Commendable work has been done by the four musical organizations of the school this year. The Band has gained new impetus as well as many new members. The Choir be- sides faithfully providing music at Chapel pre- sented two concerts with other musical groups. The East cordially welcomed the Women's Glee Club, while the West received the Men's Glee Club. Hope's high musical reputation has been maintained. [74] CHAPEL CHOIR Again the wheel of time has turned, and this year's rotation has seen much musical service on the part of the Chapel Choir under the able direction of Professor Kenneth Osborne. This organization, which was founded seven years ago by the late W. Curtis Snow, has become an indispensable part of the daily chapel exercises. The group leads the hymn singing and renders a response after the prayer. All students, who are interested, are given an opportunity to direct the responses. Special activities of the year included two renditions of Handel's Messiah''. The oratorio was first presented in Kalamazoo, December 11, with the Choir singing as a part of the Messiah Festival Chorus under Director Maybee. The annual local presentation of the Messiah was made by the Choir in con- junction with the Holland Choral Union, December 15, in the Memorial Chapel under the direction of Professor Kenneth Osborne. The Choir also joined with the Hope Men's and Women's Glee Clubs in a spring concert. This concert is a new feature of the Choir's activities.

WOMEN'S GLEE CLUB The Hope College Women's Glee Club, an organization of twenty-three girls, directed by Mrs. Grace Dudley Fenton, can look back upon a very pleasant and busy year. Beginning their activities, the girls presented concerts in Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids, which prepared the group for their two weeks' tour through the East. Accompanied by Mrs. Fenton, the club left Holland on March 29 for Detroit, and the first lap of their trip. Other large cities in which they sang were Cleveland; Rochester, where they broadcast; Paterson; and New York. In the latter city the girls sang at a Hope Alumni Banquet in Dr. Joseph Sizoo's famous St. Nicholas Collegiate Church. The group returned by way of Niagara Falls and Canada, arriving in Holland on April 13. Much of the success of the trip was due to Mrs. Fenton’s untiring work. After a brief interlude, the Women's Glee Club, the Men's Glee Club, and the Chapel Choir presented a joint concert on May 3 in the Hope Memorial Chapel. A concert in Grandville, Michigan, ended a successful year. OFFICERS President—Wilma De Young Manager—Nan Jager Treasurer—Jane Eldridge Librarian—Jeanette Douma [76] HOPE COLLEGE MILESTONE MEN'S GLEE CLUB The Men's Glee Club under the able direction of Professor Kenneth Osborne again took a prominent part in representing Hope College. Several appear- ances before social gatherings and various churches of Holland and vicinity were made successfully by the twenty men of the club under the guidance of their new director. The group also toured around Lake Michigan, presenting a concert of sacred music at Reformed Churches in the states of Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin. A secular program was sung at the Wisconsin Memorial Academy, Mission House College, and several high schools. This spring concert was well re- ceived in the three states which were visited by the club. The cordial hospi- tality extended the men and the resulting financial success of the tour prom- ises an even greater year for the renewed efforts of a Men's Glee Club on Hope's campus.

BAND Through the persistent efforts and fine spirit of a number of Hope's musicians, the Hope College Band reached promising heights during the past school year. Although many problems and difficulties continually confronted them, the band boys were encouraged to carry on . Through the kindness and interest of President Wichers, the necessary financial support was given and also a room in Graves Hall in which to keep the music and instruments. Through the untiring efforts of Mr. Daniel J. Zwemer, manager and advisor; Cornie Steketee, student director; and Harold Leestma, librarian; the activities of the band were well-directed and enthusiasm was kept high. The band played faithfully at football games, basketball games, pep meetings, and other school functions and was very favorably received. Practices were held for an hour each Wednesday evening in the library. A great deal of new music was purchased and some instruments were re- paired. Plans for obtaining band uniforms and more new music and instru- ments are now being made. The prospects for a “greater Hope Band of 1937- 38 are exceedingly bright. Many faithful and valuable Senior members are being graduated this term, but players will be on hand next year to take their places. The band has maintained Hope's high musical reputation.

The presentation of the three act play, You and I”, by the Senior class marked the renewal of the dramatic tradition of the college after a lapse of several years. This production, written by the well-known playwright, Philip Barry, was staged in the Holland High School auditorium. May fifth and sixth, before an appreciative and enthusiastic audi- ence composed of students and supporters of the college. A measure of the great success of the play was due to the skillful and able direction of Miss Evelyn Metz, a graduate of the Northwestern School of Speech. In presenting You and I, the graduating class hoped to stimulate what inter- est in dramatics is present on the campus, and aimed to provide adequate incentive for lower classes, and the others who follow them, to overcome stag- ing and producing difficulties and develop their latent dramatic talent. In doing all this it hoped also to accomplish a third purpose to make it possible to finance a memorial gift to the college. [80] HOPE COLLEGE MILESTONE You and I ' is a serious comedy whose plot centers about the conflict that arises in the life of Maitland White, an artist who has given up his career for marriage and business. Dissatisfied with this type of life, he again turns to- ward painting only to relinquish it in order to help his son, Ricky, a student architect.

YWCA CABINET With the triangle as our standard and the aim and ideal to make “Jesus Christ the King of the Campus”, v e ended another successful year in YWCA, under the able leadership of Beatrice Boot. Meetings were held every Tuesday night, which proved a great source of inspiration and benefit to the girls through the worth while programs which were presented. The Girls' Basketball League was continued, and the Etiquette Club was organized and sponsored by the YWCA. At Christmas time gift boxes were again packed and sent to the Kentucky Mission. Gospel teams were sent to various churches throughout the year. In collaboration with the men's group, the girls' cabinet helped to make Prayer Week, with Dr. Bush as the speaker, a week of inspiration and conse cration for all the students. Beginning the year with the “Y-Fore , a news- paper given to Freshmen during Orientation Week, the association continued its work with the All-College party, under the direction of Mr. George Camp- bell. Besides their individual activities, the two groups also secured other talented speakers to lead special joint meetings. The YWCA is anticipating another successful year in its work on the campus.

YMCA CABINET Beginning with the inauguration of the Y-Fore , a paper edited by the two Y's for incoming Freshmen during Orientation Week, this year has been one of progress for the YMCA. During the year such outstanding men as Dean Thomas Graham. Editor Archie McCrea, and Dr. Hov ard McClusky were brought to the campus to lead meetings. George Campbell, nationally known song leader, was also obtained to make the “All-College Sing-Sing one of Hope's best parties. In conjunction with the YWCA, the YMCA again sponsored a Campus Prayer Week. Dr. Benjamin Bush of Detroit led on the theme, “Jesus Answers Vital Questions . An innovation was made when the YMCA sponsored the Michi- gan Leaders' Conference, February 13 and 14. With such competent leaders as Dr. Bush, Dean Graham, and Dr. Bernie Mulder, the conference was an outstanding success. So that the physical side of the “Y Triangle would not be forgotten, the “Y” sponsored two swim trips to the Grand Rapids YMCA pool. The YMCA is looking forward to another year of progress in doing its part to make Jesus Christ the King of the Campus . OFFICERS President—Richard Smith [86] HOPE COLLEGE MILE STONE 9 3 CHRISTIAN WORKERS' LEAGUE The Christian Workers League, an organization of students who plan to be in full time service for Christ, has experienced a very active year. In con- nection with the Y organizations, Gospel Teams have been sent to various churches in the surrounding districts. This year a play entitled Brother In- dia was also given by the group in many churches with favorable results. The cast included Mildred Vanden Bos, Henry Bovendam, Orville Hine, and Benjamin Ver Steeg. A retreat was held at Calvin College, April 17 and 18, at which a large Hope delegation was entertained and inspired by many fine speakers. The League meets weekly on Friday afternoon in its Memorial Chapel room. The meetings are opened by a devotional period, after which a minister or missionary speaks with the purpose of preparing students for Christian work.

At monthly meetings senior men who have distinguished themselves in the fields of scholarship and extra-curricular activity discuss with faculty members campus problems. Blue Key has been active in the promotion of the welfare of the college and of the students during the past year. The student body has been served by the Student Guide, the Book Store, and football and basketball programs. A trophy case has been placed in the college administration building. Through its publication, The Blue Key Quarterly , national conventions, and inter-chapter correspondence, members of Blue Key enjoy nationally the bene- fits of intercollegiate fellowship.

Here it grew in spirit and deed, and today men of Fraternal are dominant in scholar- ship, forensics, athletics, and many other activities. Fraternal is proud to continue its eleventh decade of existence, and antici- pates an even greater future. By leading in all phases of college life, Fraternal has left its impression on the heart of each and every Frater who cherishes fond memories of Hope, “The College of Champions .

[91] HOPE SOROSIS In 1905 Sorosis, the first girls' society on Hope's campus, was founded by some active co-eds for the purpose of literary and social development. Year by year the group has grown—each season showing new activity, fellowship, and talent. This year twelve new girls chose to join our group and were welcomed and entertained at a buffet supper in the Warm Friend Tavern. The girls remained pledges until February when term marks were examined and those qualifying became full-fledged Sigma Sigmas. At the annual winter party held at the Tavern, each Sorosite and her guest became jailbirds for an evening to be released on parole at the close of the festivities. On March 19 Sorosis and her brother society, Fraternal, grasped parachutes and came to a happy landing at the Fraternal House. A delight- ful and exciting spring banquet completed our social calendar. In all her activities Sorosis upholds the ideals of love and honor established so long ago by her founders.

COSMOPOLITAN Forty-seven years ago, a group of men announced the organization of a new fraternity at Hope, which they christened Cosmopolitan, with the desire that all who should bear this name would become citizens of the world. Since its founding in 1890, this fraternity has maintained its principles of friendship, truth, and progress, toward realization of that supreme ideal—the world-view. Its members have offered their services in many phases of college life. Cos- mopolitan has not overlooked the social side; joint meetings held with the Delphi and Fraternal societies were climaxed by the fall Carnival Party ', and the annual spring banquet. Always prominent in athletics. Cosmos v on the interfraternity basketball championship for the third successive year and thereby retained permanent possession of the court trophy. They further dis- tinguished themselves by winning the first interfraternity track meet. Cosmo- politans pledge renewed allegiance to the Green and White.

DELPHI A year crowded full of fun and fellowship was opened unceremoniously with the annual slumber party held, this year, at the Damstra cottage on Lake Michigan. Daring and important plans for rushing were discussed. The plans were successful, when fourteen new girls were welcomed and enter- tained by the Delphi Supper Club in the Tavern, to be officially pledged a few weeks later. A dude ranch” was the setting for the mid-winter party at which Delphi en- tertained her guests. Included on our social calendar was a joint meeting with the Cosmopolitans at their fraternity house, and the spring banquet. Active in college affairs, Delphi closes her year regretting to lose her energetic Seniors. These girls will automatically become members of the alumnae group, which assists the active chapter, for Once a Delphi, always a Delphi '.

The fra- ternity is proud to see its men numbered among the leaders in all the varied phases of college activity, but it also feels that the fine friendships formed and the fellowships enjoyed are of still greater significance to its members. Several parties, a number of stags , various informal open house evenings, and the highest social event of the year the spring party—make Knicker- bockers look back with the most pleasant memories upon a year crowned with definite success and achievement.

This code has been an essential factor in the growth of our sorority since 1919, the year of the founding of the modern chapter. Our social program was an enjoyable and full one, the climax coming with our annual winter party. The theme of the party was a “tournament of roses”, with novel decorations and an unusual program. During the year our society room was redecorated. Prominent among our new furnishings are the drapes, a gift from our new girls. The year has been a happy one, full of scholastic and literary activities, light- ened by fun and friendship. We have constantly tried to keep our aim before us as a goal— to keep the body strong, the mind pure, the spirit right.” OFFICERS President Vice-president Secretary Treasurer V INTER TERM Nan Jager Ethelyn Schaap Evelyn De Haan Elaine Wierda SPRING TERM Ethelyn Schaap Mildred Vanden Bos Lydia De Vries Gladys Moerdyke Representative to Women's League Congress—June Kieft 1st Row: B.

At the beginning of the year the society moved into one of the most beautiful homes in Holland. Since then the fraternity house has been the scene of great activity: nearly five hundred guests visited it during the one day of open house”; the Dutch Treat Week” party was held there; several brother and sister societies were guests of Emersonian at joint meetings; a number of Best Girls' Night” dinners were served in the new grill; and vari- ous organizations were entertained in the society home. The activity of the fraternity in college affairs is shown by its success in win- ning the Homecoming float and pep meeting contests. Its men are also active among the Christian organizations of the campus, and, in every field of activ- ity. have striven to maintain the tradition of followers of Emerson.

DORIAN Another year of happy, worthwhile activity has been recorded in the annals of the Dorian Society. New friendships were created and developed under the Lavender and the Gold. After the breathless scurry of rushing, our pledges were entertained and heartily welcomed at the Copper Lantern Tea Room. Later, in the company of our brother society, the Emersonians, we won the pep-meeting contest and enjoyed a successful joint meeting. The fall season was capped by a Christ- mas tea, and a most successful fall party on January 15, at the Literary Club. Tribute was paid our alumni by an entertainment given in their honor. The busy year was rounded off by an Easter tea and our annual spring banquet. Cultural development has also been an aim of Dorian, with programs each week seeking to carry out that aim. The happy times we have had together will always be treasured memories. OFFICERS President Vice-Pres.

Though the youngest fraternity on Hope's campus, it has maintained this high code through the efforts of its present members and distinguished alumni. Our programs are in the fields of composition, oratory, debate, music, and dramatics. We are chiefly a literary society; yet we carry on a live social and athletic program. Rushing, new members, Homecoming and floats, pep meet- ing, and programs furnished a busy year. A fine joint meeting with the Emer- sonians v as enjoyed by everyone. Addison's purple and white clad team participated in a fast interfraternity basketball league. Socially we were happy to entertain our co-ed guests at the Tavern as spectators of the game of life . An increased interest in the fraternity by both active members and alumni leads us to the hope that an even more successful year may follow.

Our social calendar has been full, a few of the important notations being: the Homecoming tea, the Christmas breakfast at the Copper Lantern, the mid- term party to celebrate the President's birthday, the Easter tea, the roller- skating party at Grand Haven, the Mother's Day program, and the spring party. In addition, we enjoyed several visits to the homes of Aletheans living in town, where we were charmingly entertained.

It is composed of sophomore, junior, and senior chemistry majors whose scholastic average is over B”, and who desire to broaden their horizon in and keep pace with a rapidly changing field to a degree that the classroom with its lack of time, its formality, and its diversity of students can not accomplish. During the past years under Dr. Van Zyl and Dr. Kleinheksel it has become almost a tradition that graduating Chem-Clubbers will continue their work as teaching assistants at well knov n American universities. Monthly pro- grams are so arranged as to train the members in some measure for graduate work. Emphasis is placed upon use of the current periodicals and journals in the field. Senior members, particularly, are expected to present their num- bers as informal but well organized lectures. The symposium type of meeting in which all members participate in a discussion on some pertinent topic was instituted this year and found particularly effective. OFFICERS President—Clarence Vcltman Vice-president—Calvin Vander Werl Secretary-Treasurer—Robert Bruggink WOMEN'S ACTIVITIES LEAGUE The history of the Women's Activities League on Hope's campus began this year under the sponsorship of Miss Lichty, Dean of Women. This is the only present organization which includes all the girls of the college. Its aim is to bring about more social relationships among the women of Hope. During the year the League has sponsored several teas at which were heard Mrs. Hughes-Hallett, the wife of the British Consul stationed at Detroit; Miss Alice Lloyd, Dean of Women at the University of Michigan; and Miss Metta Ross, a member of Hope’s faculty who was a recent visitor to Mexico. The Women's Activities League also took charge of the annual celebration of Voorhees Day this year. The May Fete, honoring the Junior and Senior Queens, climaxed this season's events, and although the organization is still very new, the Women's Activities League feels it has progressed and is look ing forward to greater and more worthwhile service.

[103] HOPE COLLEGE MILESTONE KATHERINE ELDRIDGE Senior Queen SENIOR QUEEN Setting a new precedent, the Women's Activities League sponsored a contest to choose the most versatile senior girl to become Queen of the Campus. Miss Katherine Rooks Eldridge of Chi- cago, Illinois, was selected on merits of beauty, scholarship, and activities. Judges of beauty were Mrs. W. J. Olive, Mrs. C. J. McLean, and Miss Elizabeth Arendshorst. Judges of scholarship and activities were the new and out-going presi- dents of the League, the chairman of the May Fete, and Dean Elizabeth Lichty. Miss Eldridge is a prominent member of Sorosis, participates in many college activities, and upholds a high scholastic average. Angelyn Van Lente, Ruth Allen, Ruth Malefyt, Christine Verhulst, Wilma De Young, and Jane Eldridge composed the court of Queen Katherine. • • • JUNIOR QUEEN By the inauguration of this feature, a junior girl will be chosen each May to reign as Queen at the college functions throughout her last year at school. Crown and scepter are relinquished by the Senior Queen at the coronation closing the annual May Fete. Miss Marjorie Moody of Hart, Michigan, was chosen to represent the Class of 1938. She too v as selected upon merits of beauty, scholarship, and activities by the above judges and committee. Miss Moody is an active member of Delphi, fulfills many important college duties, and at the same time maintains a high scholastic average. Norma Claus, Henrietta Bast, June Pomp, Patricia Verhulst, Lois Tysse, and Stella De Jonge composed the court of Queen Marjorie.

ATHLETIC BOARD The Board in Control of Athletics is an organization little known on the campus outside of athletic circles; yet it is the governing body in that phase of campus activity. The organization is composed of five members, two of them being alumni, tv o of them members of the college faculty, and the other a student. The student representative on the board is elected from the Sophomore class to serve for a period of tv o years while the other four individuals serve for longer periods of time. The purpose of the group is to regulate and control all activity that is carried on in the Department of Physical Education. It schedules all athletic contests, makes contracts, controls all finances connected with the athletic program, grants awards and determines the system whereby awards shall be granted It has a direct association with M.I.A.A. Board of Control, for one faculty member and the student representative from the local body represent Hope's athletics in the conference which determines all M.I.A.A. regulations, sports, and athletic schedules. The local board is constantly concerned with the furtherance of the college athletics, and the high standard of efficiency for which the Department of Physical Education can boast is largely due to the efforts of Hope's Athletic Board. [ 108] ATHLETIC DEBT DIGGERS This year the A.D.D., in spite of the New Deal-like initials of its name, has done much work to make the athletic season a success. By determined and consist- ent effort its fifteen members have helped to swell the funds which make it possible for the athletic department to carry on. As usual, the football season was a busy one for the A.D.D. At the gridiron games hot-dogs and coffee proved the greatest source of revenue, although candy and gum were popular as well. The fall also saw five new recruits— one sophomore girl from each society- initiated into the arts of making hot- dogs and coffee and selling their wares. And for the first time in history the new members were presented their distinguishing sweaters at the cost of the association. When winter arrived, and the basketball season, the Debt Diggers turned to selling frost-bites, both at the regular Hope games and at the high school tournament matches sponsored by the college. At the coming of spring and the absence of widely attended college sports, the A.D.D. depended again on the selling of candy in the dormitory on which it usually counts to supplement its income. And now that the school year is over once more, the Athletic Debt Diggers look back on their work with satisfaction, and forward with the hope of accomplishing even more in the future.

H CLUB The organization that does the most to stimulate interest in athletics on Hope's campus is the H Club, a society composed entirely of men interested in athletics who have won a varsity award in any one of the sports carried on in the athletic program. It includes all the men of the teams that have repre- sented Hope on the gridiron, the track, the fairway, and the basketball and tennis courts. The club attempts to further athletic interest by securing an increasing num- ber of men to participate in sports, and by drawing from the high schools young men who shall, in future years, bring glory to their Alma Mater in ath- letics. Hope can well be proud of the men in her H Club for much of the prestige that she has gained v as captured by those stalwart sons of Hope who continue to wear the Orange and Blue.

Though Hope narrowly missed a conference championship, grid talent was outstanding in every department, and the team finished the season with the creditable record of a tie for second place, sharing the M I.A A. honors with Alma, last year's champions. Opening the season with ten lettermen from last year's squad and a strong display of sophomore and reserve material, Hope first encountered Alma at the northerner's field. Although gaining eight first downs to their foe's five and threatening the enemy goal four times, the Dutch squad lost to the Scots by a score of 6-0. Most of the game was played in Alma territory, but the Scots threw two long, consecutive passes in the third period for the touch- down that won the game. Olivet was Hope's first victim of the football season. After several years of inactivity in football, the Comets put a team on the field which the Dutchmen defeated 26-0. Hope counted twice in the first half and twice in the fourth quarter and had its own way most of the afternoon. Although the downstate eleven was inexperienced, it was a rugged team and deserved much credit. Hope counted its second M I.A.A victory by defeating Albion 6-0 in a bril- liant forward passing attack despite the downpour of rain. In the second [ 112] 9 3 quarter Jappinga punted to the Albion three yard line. A poor return punt gave Hope the ball on the Albion twenty yard line. Marcus, Thomas, and Jappinga carried the ball to the seven yard marker on successive plays. On a fake crossbuck, Thomas tossed the ball high into the end zone to Schaubel for the lone touchdown of the hard battle. Against Hillsdale, their next foe, the Hingamen played a strong defensive game, content to spend most of their energies stopping the fast Hillsdale backs, fappinga's consistent punting kept the Dales' attack away from the Hope goal and after sixty minutes of hard ball-playing by both teams, the scoreboard still read Hillsdale 0—Hope 0. A capacity crowd breathlessly watched one of the season's greatest battles, as Hope lost its Homecoming game 13-7 to Kalamazoo, the team that was to win the M.I.A.A. title. After a scoreless first half, Kalamazoo hit the Hope eleven for four successive first downs and a touchdown before the third quar- ter was hardly under way. The Dutchmen came back and counted on a long pass from Jappinga to Heneveld to knot the score at 7-7. Hope's passing attack worked beautifully and long gains were made via the aerial route. But in the fourth quarter, Jappinga hurled a long pass down the sideline. The Kazoo safety man leaped into the air, intercepting it, and raced 55 yards dov n the sideline past the entire Hope team to win the game! Buys, Schaubel, and Northouse stood out on the Hope line, and Jappinga and Thomas played excellent games in the backfield. The next Holland foe in the M.I.A.A Round Robin schedule was Alma, the team to whom the Dutchmen had bowed in the first conflict of the season. Hope played a superior brand of football throughout the game and won 12-7, counting first on a lateral pass play from Marcus to Thomas and next on a plunge by Jappinga. Northouse played an alert game on the line, recovering Lett to Right: Coach Milton L. Hinga. Co-Captains Fred Jappinga, Ekdal Buy� . Coach John H. Schoutcn [113] FRESHMAN TEAM 1 t Row: K. Honholt. J.

Golds. two fumbles, and the entire backfield of Thomas, Van Domelen, Marcus, and fappinga put in stellar performances. Captain Ek Buys was the mainstay of the Hope team in its second defeat of Olivet, 13-0. The Comets presented a much improved team and piled up twelve first downs against the strong Dutch eleven. The big Hope tackle intercepted two Olivet passes in midfield and raced over the goal line with the ball, out- distancing his pursuers on both occasions. Besides Captain Buys' brilliant playing. Van Domelen and Lokker played well in the backfield and line. Hope defeated Albion 6-0 in its last game of the season. The lone touchdown came in the second period almost immediately after another touchdown bid was denied by a stubborn Albion eleven which threw back four successive thrusts from the one-yard line. Both teams played hard, clean ball games. For the Dutch eleven, Hadden and Jappinga's kicking was outstanding, al- though the entire team should receive credit for the victory. Six seniors played their last game for their Alma Mater: Buys, Jappinga, Rob- bert, Wyngarden, Osterhaven, and Klomparens. Ek Buys and Fred Jappinga were elected honorary co-captains of the team. Besides Buys and Jappinga, who were selected as members of the All-M.I.A.A. team, Howdy Schaubel also won one of the flank positions on the mythical eleven. [ 114] BASKETBALL L E S T O N E Seated: A.

VARSITY BASKETBALL Starting the season of '36-'37 with four regulars of last year's squad and some strong sophomore material, Coach Hinga developed one of the best basket- ball teams that ever played in M.I.A.A. competition. The Dutch five decisively won the conference championship and showed its ability to match any oppo- sition by defeating Michigan State in a mid-season game on the opponent's floor. Hope started its season slowly, losing its opening contest to an experienced Western State quintet 55-19, and winning from Ferris, Muskegon Junior, and Michigan Normal in low-scoring games. In the early contests, however, Coach Hinga started to develop the sophomore members of his squad, who soon proved themselves to be as valuable as experienced veterans. In the first conference game Hope demonstrated its intent to be in the title race by whipping Hillsdale 40-20. The Dutch lost the next contest in an over- time on their opponent's floor, bowing to Olivet 31-29, for their only conference defeat of the year. Against their following three opponents, Alma, Albion, and Kalamazoo, the Hingamen began their M.I.A.A. season in earnest, takina each team by more than eleven points. Hope's next game was one of the outstanding contests of the year, when, on a foreign floor, it defeated Michigan State in a hard battle 25-21. With its vic- tory at State, Hope was immediately recognized throughout the conference [116] HOPE I L E S T O N E as a strong contender for the title. The true strength of the Dutch five was revealed, however, in the return battle with Olivet when they trounced the Comets 43-31. The Olivet game gave Hope a percentage lead in the race that it held for the remainder of the season. Following this hard-won contest the Dutchmen lost to Michigan Normal but returned to form scoring 56 points against Hillsdale and finishing the season with well-merited victories over Alma, Albion and Kalamazoo. The Kazoo game was a fitting climax to a brilliant season. More than five hundred Hope students and friends traveled to Kalamazoo by bus or private car to see the Dutch defeat the Hornets 28-25 in a game replete with thrills. Hope started the game slowly and the score at the half read Kazoo 15—Hope 8. In the second half, however, the Hingamen started hitting the basket and displayed their championship qualities by coming from behind in the waning minutes of play to capture the conference championship. The three senior members of the squad, Poppink, Robbert, and Nienhuis, per- formed brilliantly in the last contest, and placed on the floor with Thomas, Marcus, and Boyink, the other regulars, they furnished a combination that finished the season having the best percentage of any championship team in five years of M.I.A.A. competition. The other members of the squad, Borg- man, DeGroot, Vanden Berg, Heneveld and McGilvra, were consistent players who could be called upon at any time to fill the position of a regular v ithout seriously weakening the team. Bill Poppink, whose generalship and outstanding ability won him positions on three Hope basketball teams, was elected captain of this year's quintet. Poppink and Marcus were placed on the All-Conference team, while Thomas and Robbert won positions on the second team. I.cft to right: Coach Milton I.. Hinga, Captain William Poppink. Coach John H.

FRESHMAN BASKETBALL Although the Hope varsity basketball team won the M.I.A A. conference championship, not all the basketball talent in the school played on that squad. Coach Schouten's freshman basketball team, too, was the champion of its class. Being one of the most outstanding yearling squads that ever repre- sented the college, it made a good record and established an enviable repu- tation. Out of the eight games on its schedule, the freshmen lost only one contest, and that to the champions of the Independent League in the city. The freshmen first gave signs of developing into a strong aggregation by drubbing two of the outstanding fraternity teams on the campus. They then defeated the Grand Rapids Catholic junior College team in an overtime game by a score of 28-25. The next victims of the Hope quintet were the Post Jew- elers, 34-23, and the Kalamazoo College freshman squad, 34-21. In a return game with Kalamazoo College on the opponent's floor, the yearling squad came home with a 55-31 victory over the Hornets. The game with the Hol- land Furnace Company, the champions of the city Independent League, gave the freshmen their only defeat of the year. In their last game, however, the Hope yearlings climaxed their season with a victory over the Western State freshman team, conquering them 45-38 and showing that they were the out- standing freshman basketball squad in the state.

INTERFRATERNITY BASKETBALL This year interfraternity basketball again occupied an important position in athletics on the campus. Most of the league contests were evenly matched and rivalry among the quintets was extremely keen. For the third consecutive year a Cosmopolitan team headed the league, win- ning the championship and the distinction of going through the season unde- feated in the ten games of fraternity competition. By virtue of its last three successful seasons the Cosmos aggregation retains permanent possession of the beautiful league trophy. In addition to winning the championship for the last three years Phi Kappa Alpha teams also won titles in '32 and '33. The runner-up position was occupied by a strong team of Fraternals, an aggre- gation which, in 1934, had captured the fraternity title. With seven victories and but three defeats, two of which were suffered at the hands of this year's champions, the Frater team proved a tough foe for the leaders and more than a match for the third place Knickerbocker quintet. The Cosmopolitan mentor. Coach Steffens, started the season with only three of last year's team as a nucleus. The new men developed fast, however, and showed themselves to be capable players early in the year. The pre-season game with the Frosh v as the only contest which Cosmos lost, and throughout the rest of the period it met all other competition successfully.

TRACK Following the M.I.A.A. indoor track meet at Hillsdale in which Hope placed third, the local track season was opened with enthusiasm on April 23. On that date the Anchor sponsored an interfraternity track meet on the school field for the purpose of uncovering new material to bolster the varsity thin- clad squad. The contests were as thrilling as they were close. Until the last event was run off, the championship was undecided, although the Cosmopoli- tan and Fraternal teams stood out as contenders for first honors with the Knickerbockers running third. Only when Cosmopolitan runners were the first to break the tape in the final race, the relay, was victory assured. The school meet accomplished its purpose in uncovering material when sev- eral new men were added to the varsity squad. Poppink, Mante, Schaubel, Hadden, Rowerdink, and Vanden Brink became members of the regular team. Besides the new men, some veteran performers made up the varsity squad. ‘’Speed'1 Martin, Hope's 100 yard and 220 yard M.I.A.A. champion, captained the team and ran the dashes with Chink'' Robbert. Hugh De Pree and Bob Vanden Berg ran the 440 and 880, while Buteyn and Hotaling ran the distance races. Ek Buys again showed promise of greatness in the shot-put and discus, and Elenbaas developed in the jumps and pole-vault. Under Coach Schouten's guidance the team did their best to duplicate the Basketball Championship and win the M.I.A.A. All-Sports trophy. [122] TENNIS The tennis team entered the 1937 trophy race with several veterans returning to form the nucleus of a new squad. The veteran players, Vanden Berge and Arendshorst, with the reserve strength of Visser, received strong support from some capable sophomore material, and were ready to face any conference team at the opening of the season. Competition on the M.I.A.A. courts was very keen, but three teams held an even chance of winning the championship. The two schools whose netmen demonstrated that they might prove to be obstacles standing in the way of a Hope title were Kalamazoo and Albion. The Hornets, with the renewed services of most of their championship team from the previous year, presented strong opposition. Albion boasted a crew of sophomore performers who played a superior brand of tennis in most of their matches. The entire season consisted of four weeks of active practicing and a strenuous schedule. Home and home matches v ere played with conference schools. Hope also met several non-conference teams, including Grand Bapids Junior College, Muskegon Junior College, and the Western State Freshmen. The season was climaxed at the M.I.A.A. tournament held at the Kalamazoo courts. The team of Pleune, Boyink, Arendshorst, Vanden Berge, and De Groot played an excellent brand of tennis in Hope's bid for the All-Sport's Trophy. Left to Right: O. Lampcn. I . Abell. I). Visser. P.

GOLF With the entrance of the golf season, Coach Raymond and his squad prac- ticed vigorously for their opening matches. It was a known fact that the possibility of Hope winning the M.I.A.A. All-Sport's Trophy depended, to a large extent, upon the success of the golf team. The outlook for the season was very bright for the Dutch squad. Four of the regulars from the team that placed second in the tournament during the previous year returned as an excellent foursome. Poppink, Van Dussen, Hopkins, and De Roo were the veterans. In addition to them Marcus, Hadden, and Papegaay were avail- able for service. Poppink, one of the leaders in league competition of the previous year, led the squad. There were indications that the championship battle would be waged between Hope and Olivet, with Poppink and Novak, of the Comet squad, as the strongest contenders for individual honors. The season consisted of a schedule of fourteen matches, most of which were held with M.I.A.A. colleges. A few outside teams were included in the list, however. Among them was the Western State varsity which was scheduled for the first time. The opening match of the season was played against Kala- mazoo, Hope's traditional athletic rival, and ended in a decisive victory for the Dutch golfers. That match sent the. Orange and Blue team on its v ay through a successful season helping to make the year 1936-37 a banner year for Hope sports.
