MICHIGAN HOPE COLLEGE MILESTONE MILESTONES Stones are the symbols of Permanence. Eternity has been typified in Stone; Time has been defied by it. Basalt and Granite have outlived men and epochs and ages. Life in its simpler forms has clung to rock-ribbed mountains as if to secure to itself Perpetuity. Death, too. has claimed Marble for its Mausoleum that it might hold its place and position unchallenged. Temple Block and Hearth-stone Slab and Funeral Shaft tell the infant's primal cry, youth's passionate bliss and the shadowed anguish of age. Milestones are the memorials of indomitable Mind. Aspiration, Achievement, Advancement,—these are the records the Milestone plants deep-bedded in the onward course of the Pioneer. To all other Stones Humanity turns its face, lifts its eye, voices a requiem for the known. To the Milestone- -graven only on its hither-side, if any mark there be,—Mankind turns its back, looks for no promise, gives no hostage of dependent faith. Each Stone beside,—be it veined with the blue of the azure or the red of life's pulsing blood; be it flecked with the flash of the diamond or light-starred like the blackness of night—stands sentinel of Life's twilight Peace. The MILESTONE, untraced by the fancies of Nature's vagrant dreams and uncut by the savage flint or artist skill, dares the eastern dawn and challenges’ the coming Day. MILESTONES are the Soul's answer to the Unknown, her response to Futurity, and for her, will ever abide The Symbol of the Trek. —Edward D.

ARENDSHORST Died April 19, 1938 Class of 1941 Oh, yet we trust that somehow good Will be the final goal of ill. To pangs of nature, sins of will. Defects of doubt, and taints of blood; That nothing walks with aimless feet; That not one life shall be destroyed, Or cast as rubbish to the void, When God hath made the pile complete. [6] 1 DEDICATION DEDICATION We, the class of nineteen hundred thirty-nine, sincerely dedicate our Milestone to Jack''—a token of appre- ciation for his devoted interest and kindly service to us in the athletic pro- gram of both men and women and in his inspirational contacts with each of us. May his ideals of teamwork, clean sportsmanship, and fair play charac- terize and animate all the milestones in our lives. HOPE COLLEGE MILESTONE JOHN H.

HOPE COLLEGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES This revered body of men is elected and appointed by the various churches and classes which sponsor the interests of Hope College. It is their duty and their trust to direct the policies and needs of the institution during their term of office. Their meetings occur in April and in June. Their aims are set forth admirably in the following excerpt from the Foreword to the College Bulletin of February, 1930: A special value attaches to the small college of this type that insures its per- manence among the educational institutions of the land. ... We mean a college that does not aspire to do the work of a university, that is not ambi- tious to number its studentry by thousands, but sets its own bonds and limi- tations, and places emphasis upon the quality rather than upon the quantity of the work it undertakes to do, a college that has a definite aim and purpose and adheres to it sacredly, no matter how alluring the present-day temptations may be to broaden its scope and exploit the whole field of study and research. There are such institutions, fortunately, and they will always be in demand. There are parents everywhere who will still select such schools for their sons and daughters in preference to the popular educational centers. [17] LAURA A.

Representation was based on literary societies rather than classes. This enlarged the group from nine to fifteen members. Headed by Senior Andrew Vollink, the Student Council investigated campus problems and supervised several college affairs. It started off with a success- ful All-College Mixer. Other college functions included the Frosh-Soph con- tests, the Freshmen trial. Homecoming, the Frosh-Soph girls' contest for the Nykerk cup, pep meetings, an interesting Get-Acquainted and Dutch Treat week, a campaign to increase the college library, and an All-College day climaxing in an All-college banquet.

BLUE KEY Blue Key is a national honor fraternity, composed locally of Hope Senior men, selected for their high standards of scholarship and active participation and interest in campus affairs. Its basic purpose is service to its Alma Mater and her student body. As evidence of this fact. Blue Key again conducted its Book Store in Van Raalte Hall, published a series of the most elaborate football programs to be found in any M.I.A.A. school, prepared the Student Guide, put out a basketball pro- gram for the final Hope-Kazoo contest, and provided for the installation of an indirect lighting system in the trophy case in Graves Hall. At their monthly dinners these representative campus men discussed college problems openly with their faculty advisers, thus providing for a better under- standing between students and faculty. Meetings during the past year were held at the various fraternity houses in rotation, and uniformly excellent meals were served. Hope is the only small college in Michigan which can boast of a Blue Key Chapter.

ALCOR Alcor, Senior Girls' Honorary Society, has completed its first year of existence on the campus of Hope College. In the spring of the year 1937, the society was conceived of and organized by the Senior Girls' Association. At that time eleven girls, chosen for qualities of scholarship, leadership, and service, were elected from the Junior class to become the charter members of the new society. In the fall of that year the society chose a name, Alcor Honor Sorority, and elected four new members to fill out the quota. Alcor is primarily an honorary group, but it does not plan to be a static organ- ization. Its activities for this first year were limted because getting started involved much organizing and planning. Among its activities have been the successful souvenir selling project at our Homecoming in November, and a formal dinner in December held in honor of new members. The objective that will be kept before the sorority is that of becoming a part of Mortar Board, which is a national honor sorority. Until that is realized, Alcor shall be a unique organization with its own constitution and standards.

ADDISON Fidelity, Culture, Leadership”—Fidelity that perseveres to the end, no matter how rugged the road; Culture that makes associations pleasant and profitable; Leadership with vision and service in all fields of endeavor,- -with this three- fold motto, Hope's youngest literary society has completed another year of mutual fellowship and truly literary enjoyment. Addison has not overlooked social development in its program, as is evident from its fall and spring parties and its alumni banquet at Homecoming. In campus sports men of the purple and white were also represented, in fact, its members have participated in almost every campus activity. Addison aims for the development of well-rounded individuals whole mentally, physically, and spiritually. It aims to develop true and worthy representatives of Hope. Looking toward the achievement of our goal, we constantly keep before us the words of Joseph Addison, whose name we proudly perpetuate: If you wish to succeed in life, make perseverance your bosom friend, experi- ence your wise counselor, caution your elder brother, and hope your guardian genius.” OFFICERS President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer FIRST TERM Peter Veltman Frank Clowe Charles Waldo William Knickel SECOND TERM William Knickel Edward Van Eck Charles Waldo Peter Veltman THIRD TERM Edward Van Eck William Knickel Charles Waldo James Moody [68] HOPE COLLEGE MILESTONE 1st Row: I- Mccngs.

ALETHEA Once again the Aletheans resumed their year of activities with the annual slumber party held at the cottage of one of the members. Plans were here dis- cussed for the coming year, and many exciting activities were proposed At Thanksgiving time a tea was held, and in December the annual Christmas breakfast was given at the Copper Lantern. At the winter party during Janu- ary the girls traveled with their guests to enjoy an evening of fun and jollity in Toyland”. The social calendar would be incomplete without a Mother's Day Tea given in honor of the girls' mothers, and later a spring banquet to wind up the events of the year. Included in the programs of the regular meetings the Aletheans enjoyed pot- lucks, teas, and informal gatherings at the homes of members. Thus happy friendships were continued for another year.

Since its founding forty-eight years ago Cosmopolitan has been salient in all phases of college life. This year, as in others, the incentive which inspired the charter members of Cosmopolitan has again driven Phi Kappa Alpha to a dominant position in all campus activities. Considering social development as second only to scholarship. Cosmos ini- tiated the social season v ith open-house after the Junior College-Hope football game. This was followed by the Cosmos stag dinner, fall party, and joint meetings v ith the Delphian and Fraternal societies. The annual spring party climaxed this phase of Cosmos life. Looking back at another successful year, Cosmopolitan is proud to close the 1937-38 chapter of its prominent history.

With the Campus Queen, Marjorie Moody, as president, a happy year began. Our brother society, the Cosmopolitans, gave a theatre party for us. At the Women's Literary Club we held our Alumnae Banquet on Homecoming week- end. During the fall we entertained groups of freshmen at our weekly meet- ings. After Christmas vacation we held our fall party, dining in the Blue room at the Tavern, and presenting a First Nighter play, Happy Returns'' by Essex Dane. Then came rushing week, a supper and floor show at the Tavern, followed by pledging this year's Delphians at the home of Ardene Boven. A cleverly planned Deiphi-Cosmos joint meeting was held before spring vaca tion, with the spring party a delightful ending to Delphi's social activities. We will miss our energetic seniors who have been exceptionally active in campus as well as society affairs.

EMERSONIAN As history claims another year, Phi Tau Nu celebrates its advent to Hope's campus two decades ago. In that short time Emersonian has arisen to promi- nence among older brother societies. Located on one of Holland's finest estates, the fraternity enjoys the vitality and vigor of youth. Spirited in social life, Emersonians demonstrated their virility in more creative channels also. In forensics, music, religious activity, and scholastics Emersonians led the way. Following the fall rushing period, twenty-two outstanding Hopeites were accepted and initiated into the Order of Emerson. Then came numerous ban- quets, pleasant parties, joint meetings with sororities, and a unique spring open house, all contributing to make the Emersonian House a center of colle- giate social life. Though the memories of other achievements fade, still shineth the light through our memories' haze of our friendships that ever abide .

DORIAN Years hence, the Dorians will repaint this successful and happy year of 1938: the breakfasts at the Warm Friend Tavern, the Alumnae banquet at which Miss Boyd, the founder, spoke of her European trip, the Thanksgiving tea, and the Last Night Aboard Ship” at the winter banquet. The memory of the Senior play. Junior band, and Sophomore puppet show, when the Freshmen girls were entertained, will recall hours of toil and fun. Their minds will retrace the intensive rushing, the Fair at the Literary Club, and the excitement of pledging sixteen new Dorians, later known as Dorian cowboys. They will remember the joint meeting with the Emersonians and also the spring banquet. A fleeting picture of the Dorian room with its new maple set and comfortable folding chairs will make them recall with joy and tenderness the pleasant friendships formed under the lavender and gold.

FRATERNAL For one hundred and four years, established at Union College of Schenectady, New York, Fraternal has been among the leaders and during the past year the banner of the purple and gold has carried on. The cardinal virtues of Friendship, Love, and Truth have lived on, being borne by men outstanding in athletics, forensics, scholarship and other activities. In its eleventh decade of existence Fraternal is still making its name known far and wide by the cali- bre of its members. During the collegiate year of 1938 Fraternal has kept its place by its shining work. In its winning Homecoming house decorations prizes, in its winning honors at the All-College Carnival, and in its winning of the Interfraternity Basketball Championship, and by its social activities. Fraternal has proven that it can and will march ever onward, always an integral part of Hope College.

That shout resounds with a repetition of moral, social, and of intellectual attainment. It reverberates from the pages of Knickerbocker history. The ruby and the black neath the orange and the blue has never faltered on the march toward successful achievements. Another chapter of laudable accomplishments is added to Knickerbocker his- tory at the termination of this year. The opening triumph was the acceptance of a very select group of pledges, in accordance with the qualifications of the Knickerbocker triangle, in order that posterity will continue to uphold the high ideals and traditions that are precious to every member. For social prestige there were the annual fall and spring banquets and a number of stags. Every member can be justly proud, for at the turn of a quarter of a century of development, Knickerbocker stands unequaled.

True to the ideals which have been its basic determinants since the founding of the chapter in 1919—the ideals of love and loyalty, of sincerity and truth the sorority has steadily progressed. Orchestral Imitations” was the theme of our mid-winter party, which featured unique decorations, scintillating costumes, and an excellent, inimitable pro- gram. A delightful St. Patrick's Day party was the highlight of the month of March. The climax to the events of our social calendar was the spring banquet.

Starting the year with an enjoyable beach party for the Freshmen, the Y.W.C.A has had another successful year. The meetings have been varied, and such interesting speakers as Mrs. De Pree of China, Mrs. De Valois of India, and Dr. Marjorie Drury of Grand Rapids were heard. The Y.W. packed a Christmas box and sent it to Dulce, New Mexico, where a Hope graduate is v orking. The Girls' Basketball League and other sports activities were continued during the year. In cooperation with the Y.M.C.A. the Y.W. sponsored a very successful Week of Prayer under the direction of Dr. Frederick Zimmerman. Together they also brought to the campus other exceptional speakers, as Hon. Richard Gregg and Dr. Samuel Grafln. The outstanding event of the year was the resuming of the missionary project after a lapse of several years. Due to the help of Mrs. A. De Young, Dr. Mylrea, and Dr. Shafer, who were the speakers, the campaign yielded over five hun- dred dollars towards the support of Dr. John Van Ess and his Basrah Boys School in Arabia. Meetings were held every Tuesday night and much inspiration and benefit was derived from them. The “Y is anticipating another year of active prog- ress on the campus.

The 1937-1938 term of the Y.M.C.A was eminently successful; the customarily excellent program of the association saw innovations during the year which will stand out in Y history on Hope’s campus. Introducing itself to new students and renewing its acquaintance with return- ing students by means of the ”Y-Fore” the union’s work began briskly and continued with the traditional beach party for newcomers on the campus. Throughout the year a high standard was maintained in the weekly meetings; the roster of speakers who addressed the group included such names as Dr Frederick Zimmerman, Dr. Samuel Graflin, and many of prominence from both Grand Rapids and Holland. Dr. Zimmerman stayed on the campus for the guidance of the inspirational and successful Week of Prayer, which centered about the theme, Religion as a Way of Life. The biggest event in the Y year was the renovation of the missions drive among students, v hich the association union sponsored. An energetic and well directed campaign, climaxed by a pledging drive during a special chapel service, brought in more than five hundred dollars in pledges to the Basrah Boys' School in Arabia.

CHRISTIAN WORKERS' LEAGUE The Christian Workers' League, an organization of students who, interested in Christian work, definitely plan to enter either part or full time service for their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, has experienced its most active year of service since its inception in 1934. The great increase in membership and loyal attend- ance of the members, combined with the religious zeal and fervor of the group has enabled the League to do its part in the advancement and extension of the kingdom of our Christ. The majority of League members are actively engaged in teaching Sunday School, in Christian Endeavor leadership, in conducting prayer meetings and church services, and in personal witnessing for Christ. A Calvin-Hope Joint Conference was held at Holland, December 11 and 12, at which a large Calvin delegation was entertained and inspired by several highly esteemed clergymen. The League meets every Friday afternoon in its room in the Memorial Chapel. The meetings are opened by a devotional period, after which a minister or a missionary speaks with the purpose of preparing students for Christian work.

For the first time, academic credit was given for membership in the organization, and rehearsals were attended as classes. Prof. Osborne, director of the Choir, included more than singing in the schedule. Each student in the group received a baton, and the fundamen- tals of directing a chorus were taught. Opportunities to direct were offered, and students regularly conducted the responses in the daily chapel service. On December 14 the Choral Union, which includes the Chapel Choir, once again presented Handel's Messiah. Four prominent soloists were secured, and members of the Kalamazoo Symphony supplemented the Holland Civic Orchestra. The performance of the oratorio was under the direction of Ken- neth Osborne, and was a successful celebration of the Christmas season. Several times during the year the Choir was heard in Chapel in special music. A spring recital was presented at a Sunday afternoon vesper service on March 4, and Senior students were the directors for the occasion. Permanent accomplishments in a tangible form were seen in the new music bought this year. The singers have included Negro spirituals, Russian litur- gical numbers, and classic songs in their repertoire.

Through the per- sistent and untiring efforts of both band members and directors Hope's band has become the best band in the M.I.A.A. This was evidenced by all who heard the fine production at the Hope-Kazoo playoff. Hope's band was classed in a large Michigan newspaper as one of the outstanding college musical organizations in this part of the state '. This year the climax was reached when forty beautiful new band uniforms were purchased. In colorful array the band played at all home games of foot ball and basketball. The band rendered concerts in Coopersville and Grand Rapids and marched in the Tulip Time parade. The band also played for all school functions. Much praise and many favorable comments have been received this year by students, faculty, alumni, townspeople, and spectators at the athletic games. Practices were held each Monday and Thursday in the Hope High School building. Much of the success of this year's band is due to the hard labor of Mr. Daniel J. Zwemer as Bandmaster. Don's friendly attitude toward the members and his interest and enthusiasm during the year has kept Hope's band 'on top . Much praise must be given to our director , Cornelius J. Steketee, who worked many long hours as band president. Our conductor, Cornie , wielded his baton like a professional. One of the best college news- papers, in an editorial, stated that Hope's band director is outstanding and talented beyond other college band directors . [87] HOPE COLLEGE MILESTONE 1st Row: A.

WOMEN'S GLEE CLUB The Hope College Women's Glee Club enjoyed a pleasant and busy year. The Club did not go on an extended trip this season, but confined its concert appearances to cities in this community. A concert was given for a joint meet- ing of all the Christian Endeavor societies in Grand Rapids, and the club also presented a program at a Grand Rapids church. Concerts were also rendered in other nearby cities, and the usual appearances in Holland were made. Mrs. Grace Dudley Fenton, who has directed the Glee Club for many years, again successfully headed the group this year. The work done was of the usual high quality which has always characterized the Hope College Women's Glee Club. The club will miss its senior voices next year, but hopes for a very successful season in 1938-39.

MEN'S GLEE CLUB The Men's Glee Club under the leadership of Professor Kenneth Osborne can look back on a very active year, a year in which it has figured largely in the musical life of the college. The group of eighteen men presented concerts in Allegan, Kalamazoo, and Grand Rapids during the winter months. On March 25, the Club left on a two- week tour through the East, accompanied by Prof. E. P. McLean. After the first concert in Detroit, the Club went on to New York State, singing in Rochester and Schenectady enroute to New York City where they remained for a week end. Several concerts were given in New Jersey on the return trip which ended in Holland on April 8. After their return the Glee Club sang in Grand Haven, Grand Rapids, and in several churches of Holland to end a successful year.

PI KAPPA DELTA The Michigan Gamma chapter of Pi Kappa Delta, a national honor society for the promotion of forensic activities, has experienced an eventful year in debate, oratory, extempore speaking, and interpretative reading. Hope's chapter has the distinction of taking in more members in the year 1937-38 than any other chapter in the national organization. The year's activities have been interesting and varied. The regular monthly meetings included guest speakers, orations, and dramatics. As in the past we sponsored a high school debate tournament. This year Hope College had the privilege of being host to the State Interpretative Reading Contest. Another major event in Pi Kappa Delta's activities was the sending of two men and two women delegates to the National Convention at Topeka, Kansas. Here the delegates participated in debate, oratory, and extempore speaking. The spring banquet brought the year's activities to a close. The large number of neophytes initiated promises another eventful year for the Gamma chapter at Hope. OFFICERS President—Herman Luben Vice-President—Alma Nyland Secretary-Treasurer—Paul Stewart [92] HOPE COLLEGE MILESTONE WOMEN'S INTERPRETATIVE READER Lucille Buter Interpretative reading again held a deserving place in the college forensics this year. The students portrayed a hearty interest in this dramatic activity, valuable for its development of appreciation in spoken verse. Miss Lucille Buter, reading In an Atelier and Hill Hunger , in her ov n capable manner represented the college in the poetry division of the state contest. In the spot prose contest, Nina Fopma ably showed her skill at reading unfamiliar mate rial. Hope College was host to the state contest this year, entertaining twelve schools on the campus May thirteenth. MEN'S INTERPRETATIVE READER Dean Dykstra Abraham, the Man of the People, and Doors” were read in a most com- mendable manner by the local victor, Dean Dykstra, at the State Interpretative Reading Contest held on the campus May thirteenth. Robert Bonthius added interest to the spot prose contest by his effective reading of the spot” assign- ment. An interesting feature of the contest was the evening Festival at which the contestants effectively entertained the audience with good reading of poetry for its own sake. That, after all, is the purpose of this type of forensic activity. WOMEN'S EXTEMPORE CONTEST WINNER Alma Nyland At the local contest held in November, Miss Alma Nyland was chosen to repre- sent Hope in the field of extempore speaking. Miss Nyland repeated her honor of last year; thus for the second year she competed in the Michigan Inter- collegiate Speech League Contest. This year the contest was held at Albion College November twenty-third. The general topic was The Spanish Situa- tion , and Miss Nyland again bore high the name of Hope by winning fourth place in the final contest. MEN'S EXTEMPORE CONTEST WINNER Wendell Miles Constantly increasing interest has been shown in this type of public speech Its appeal, no doubt, lies in its call for quick and clear thinking while speaking. His ability, as that of the woman extempore speaker, is not confined only to this type of speech; for he is an excellent debater as well. In the finals Mr. Miles received fourth place, speaking on a subject concerning The Far East- ern Situation . [93] HOPE COLLEGE MILESTONE 1 Row M. Lcmkc. II. Sluytcr. Prof. C. Dc Gnit, A. Xyland. T.

WOMEN'S DEBATE This season four affirmative and three negative teams debated on the inter- collegiate question, “Resolved: that the National Labor Relations Board should be empowered to enforce arbitration in all industrial disputes.' Again the women's squad was fortunate in being coached by Professor De Graaf, with Eunice Sluyter as its manager. The women took part in their first intercollegiate debating when they enter- tained V estern State Teacher's College from Kalamazoo in two rounds of practice debates. Between debates the girls were hostesses at a tea given at Voorhees Hall. On February 4 Calvin College held an invitational tournament for practice debates with neighboring colleges, in which Hope was happy to participate. The State Debate Tournament was held at Western State Teachers' College on February 19. Hope won six debates and lost eight, and emerged in fourth place in the tournament in which seven schools participated. The squad was honored to have the opportunity of debating two women's teams from Northwestern University, as the latter were enroute to the East, where they were scheduled for several debates. They, with their coach, we re our guests on the twenty-fifth of April. At the end of the season Professor and.Mrs. De Graaf entertained at their home for all the women debaters.

In November, the men's manager, with the assistance of other Pi Kappa Deltians, staged the biggest high school tournament yet held on the campus, nearly one hundred visitors taking part. In January, the men put on a tournament of their ov n on the college question, Resolved: that the National Labor Relations Board should be empowered to enforce the arbitration of all industrial dis- putes. Seven visiting colleges sent thirty-six teams, Hope entering eight, for two decision debates each. Losing only three of the sixteen debates, Hope men took first place, outdistancing Albion. Michigan State, Western State, Calvin, Kalamazoo, Batile Creek, and Alma. In February, nine teams were sent to the state tournament at Wayne University, where with nine victories, Hope outpointed Wayne, Central State, Michigan State Normal, Hillsdale, and four of the seven colleges already defeated at Hope. In March, four teams went to Huntington, Indiana, for the Manchester Huntington tournament; here eight class A debate victories over such opponents as the University of Chicago, Loyola University, Wheaton College, Taylor University, Heidelburg University, and Northwestern University, gave the local boys a tie for fourth place among the fifty colleges from eight states which took part. In April, two men, Wendell Miles and Wilbur Jacobs, were sent to the National Pi Kappa Delta Convention and tournament at Topeka, Kansas. A large number of debates were held in addition on our campus and before civic groups in Holland and neighboring cities; over eighty debates were held in all. [95] HOPE COLLEGE MILESTONE WASHINGTON BUST CONTEST WINNER Dean Dykstra Once in four years the college holds a peace oratorical contest at which a bronze bust of Washington after Houdon is presented to the victor. This year Dean Dykstra won the coveted award, given by J. Ackerman Coles, with an exceptionally fine oration entitled “A Declaration of Inter-dependence”. Mr. Dykstra also used this oration as the Raven contest representative in the State Oratorical Contest, held at Alma on March four. Here he won second place, due to his ability and months of hard work and practice, during which he was expertly coached by Dr. Rolland Shackson. THE ADELAIDE SPEECH CONTESTANT Gladys Van Lare With a sincere, revealing oration concerning maternal mortality entitled The Perfect Tribute”, Miss Gladys Van Lare entered the women's oratorical contest of the Michigan Intercollegiate Speech League. This contest v as held at Alma College on March four, Hope's contestant receiving fifth place. The judges of the contest were the coaches of the colleges represented. Miss Van Lare was ably coached by our play director, Miss Ethelyn Metz, who v as initiated into the oratorical work this year. NATIONAL PI KAPPA DELTA CONVENTION Dr. Rolland Shackson, head of the forensic department, was influential in inserting a very worthy activity in the local Pi Kappa Delta chapter this year. Four delegates and Dr. Shackson represented Hope at the National Conven- tion held at Topeka, Kansas, April 18-23. Our delegates included a woman orator, Eunice Sluyter, who delivered a commendable oration entitled Wild Fire”, a discussion of the marijuana drug traffic. The men's orator, Wilbur Jacobs, speaking about the danger of Fascism destroying American Democracy, received third place v ith his ora- tion, Let Freedom Wring”. The extempore speakers were Alma Nyland, talking on Careers for Tv entieth Century Women”, and Wendell Miles, v hose subject was Democracy or What?” The college was very proud of our delegates who v ere versatile enough to enter debating competition as v ell as speaking. The men won five out of eight debates, while the women won two out of eight debates. The convention was represented by one hundred thirty-five schools from thirty-five states. Hope's delegates were highly successful, receiving the praise of competent critics. Dr. Shackson received the signal honor of being chosen official parliamentarian for the’convention. Indeed the Pi Kappa Delta is proud to have been represented so ably at this national convention. [96] PUBLICATIONS HOPE COLLEGE MILESTONE 1st Row M Allen. E. Van Putten. C. Marcley. Mr. P. Brouwer.

ANCHOR Backed by an unusually large and enthusiastic group of reporters, this year the Anchor staff has put the publication of the paper on a more systematic basis. This has permitted more members of the staff to participate in journal- istic work, and has allowed the heads of the Anchor enough time to plan improvements. Under the leadership of Charles D. Bertsch, the first editor to have the advan- tage of previous experience as associate editor, the staff has begun an inex- pensive system of getting small half-tones of most of the students in college from used Milestone plates. Other accomplishments include increasing the number of Anchor key awards, attendance at national and tri-state collegiate press conferences during the fall and spring semesters, two staff parties, and revitalization of the circulation department. Close cooperation between the business and editorial staffs has resulted in steady reduction of the debt to $350, the lowest since 1929. Eddor-in-Chief—Charles D.

Early in the school term year-books were distributed to all members with a mimeographed outline of the year's activities. According to custom, the league provided for one party a month for all the girls. The opening event was a tea for the new girls under the chairmanship of Betty Nieusma. In October a breakfast hike was held, and Lenore Vander- made was chairman. December found all the girls dressed as youngsters in the lobby of Voorhees with Lois Voorhorst in charge. Rose Teninga was in charge of the January event, a sleigh ride. Because of complications the February event, a carnival, was held in March. Under the charge of Marjorie Moody it was a delightful all-college event with each society having an act or concession. The March event, a Forum on Mar- riage and Courtship, was conducted by Mrs. J. W. Hornbeck, former Kalama- zoo College dean. Evelyn De Haan was in charge of the April Style Show. May Day was decidedly a success. Esther Hinkamp was in charge and the crowning event was the coronation. The year's program closed with a fare- well beach party in honor of the Senior girls.

Throughout these years the club has maintained a high scholastic standard which has served as an incentive for study among those interested in chem- istry. Its members comprise those Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors who have decided on chemistry as their life's work. An average of 2.0 in all subjects is required of those desiring membership. At the monthly meetings papers are presented on various phases of theoretical and practical chemistry. Upperclassmen are required to give their topics in the form of an informal lecture. This is done in view of possible post-graduate work, for most former members of the Club have obtained assistantships at some large university. Occasionally an alumnus speaks to the Club concern- ing his work or graduate study. Once a year a trip is made to some industrial plant. These trips prove both interesting and educational. Under the able sponsorship of Dr. Van Zyl and of Dr. Kleinheksel the Chemistry Club strives to maintain the highest traditions of science at Hope College.

P06] LITERARY HOPE COLLEGE MILESTONE AFTERMATH SYLVIA HUXTABLE Hazel Henderson had a pronounced aversion to spring, secretly she dreaded its coming, and its subtle whispers and promises no longer aroused a happy response from her; but today, on her walk, she was forced to realize it had arrived. All week in the office the young stenographers had been gay in flowered prints and had exchanged sibilant whispers of Johnny and Tom and Joe and the De Molay Spring Formal. Miss Henderson, when she heard their sprightly talk, moved restlessly, sat up a little straighter in her chair, and adjusted her glasses to a more forbidding angle. (How could they know she had been young and in love once?) And this afternoon on her walk Miss Henderson saw little things which last week she v ould not have observed, but now were brazenly apparent—like the look the girl in the drugstore where she had stopped for aspirin sent the perspiring soda-clerk; and the way the big negro proudly helped the young colored nurse air her white charge. Spring, the minx, was here again, letting everybody know its quick languors and enthusiasms, causing the wind to clip along at a furious rate and then stopping it altogether to sing a sly and secret song in one's ear. No, Hazel Henderson certainly did not care for spring. It had been a spring day when Roger sailed for France, and it had been spring, too, when he came back; When Miss Henderson fainted on the dock seeing his poor vacant eyes, and knowing all Roger would ever remember again were shells and gas and blood slithering thickly over the ground and broken bodies hurtling through the trenches. Miss Henderson climbed slowly to her room on the second floor, absently deducing from the varied smells that she was going to have ham and cabbage for her dinner. She arranged her hair and v ashed her hands detachedly. The walls in the house were very thin and in the next room the talkative little typist from the Insurance Exchange was relating to her roommate some new incident from her exciting life. Miss Henderson had often noted with mingled amusement and disgust that ordinary things never happened to Miss Simpson: they were ‘‘swell or “just grand or ‘‘too simply thrilling; but tonight she didn't hear. She was walking along the lake with Roger, brave in clean new khaki. It was very warm for May and she had on a hat with ribbons and a ruffled white dress that swirled about her as they walked. ‘‘Are you happy. Hazel? Happy that you are mine forever? ‘‘O, you know, Roger! “I am, too. So happy I feel I should shout it! Isn't it strange, Hazel, that one heart can hold it all? For a time they walked in silence, each thinking that no one had ever loved like this before. [108] HOPE COLLEGE MILESTONE Darling,” said Roger suddenly, do you suppose when we are dead the world will be the same? Do you think the sun will be as bright and the woods as green and life as kind?” No,” replied Hazel with happy certainty, it will never really be the same.” The bell sounded then, a sharp, quick peal, and Miss Henderson went down to the dining room. The boarders were finding their seats and she slipped in and sat down among them. The landlady served the ham and cabbage cheer- fully. The boarders accepted and ate them silently. It struck Mrs. Parker that everyone at her table was rather quiet. Rather quiet and rather sad, except ing, of course, Miss Simpson and Miss Hines, who were never sad, and never, by any chance, quiet. And I said,” said Miss Simpson, “ 'What do you take me for, anyway? A doormat?' She didn't say much back, let me tell you!” The nerve of her,” agreed Miss Hines. Mr. Carmicheal cleared his throat. He was gray and fiftyish, with a depressed, frustrated face, and an oddly breathless voice, as though, try as he would, he could not succeed in catching up with life. Miss Henderson knew it was tacitly understood by the others that he thought a great deal of her and that they thought it a pity she didn't feel the same way about him, because, as Miss Simpson had once said to Miss Hines, a little too loudly for the thin walls of the house, “I'll bet she's forty if she's a day.” A lovely day. Miss Henderson, said Mr. Carmicheal in a low voice. Yes,” returned Miss Henderson politely. The sun was so bright.” Darling, do you suppose . . . the sun will be as bright?” Yes,” said Miss Henderson again. From the corner of her eye she saw the avid glances of Miss Simpson and Miss Hines. Mr. Carmicheal mustered a gaiety he was far from feeling and persisted The world's at the spring' . . . and ‘all's right with the world' eh?” Darling . . . and life as kind?” And here Roger was the same as dead in the Veteran's Hospital in Illinois, and she wished wretchedly she were dead, and life clutched them both after its futile, vague fashion. And everything was as it had been: the sun was quite as bright and the woods would soon be quite as green. O, yes,” cried poor Miss Henderson, it's been a lovely day.” Mr. Carmicheal cleared his throat again and looked at her desperately. I understand there is a very good show on tonight. I-I-I wondered if you would care to go? With—v ith me?” There, it was out. He drew a deep breath. Miss Simpson and Miss Hines took up their forks simultaneously and poised them over their plates, heads bent. [109] HOPE COLLEGE MILESTONE Thank you, said Miss Henderson, after a pause. Thank you, but I am going to be busy tonight. I have several letters to write, letters that must be written. Another time, perhaps,” she lied. Mr. Carmicheal knew well enough that another time she would find something else to do, but he smiled bravely, aware of Miss Simpson's pitying interest. Yes. Yes, indeed, another time,” he answered slowly, quite defeated. In a depressed silence they watched the solitary maid clear the table and bring in the dessert. Surprisingly, it was a strawberry shortcake, and Miss Hines, who was fat, brightened up visibly; after cabbage which, although it had been creamed and disguised with cheese, was still cabbage, one really hadn't expected much for dessert, had one? Mrs. Parker again noticed the abnormal silence of her boarders. They were never like this: all so sadly engrossed v ith their own private thoughts. Well,” she said and smiled heavily down the length of her table. Her great surprise had fallen a little flat. A strawberry shortcake in honor of spring.” Darling, darling, darling . . Miss Henderson suddenly put down her napkin and stood up. Will you excuse me? she said to the landlady. I feel rather ill.” She went out of the room hurriedly. Mr. Carmicheal looked after her in anguish and fell to talking very brightly with Miss Simpson. In her room Miss Henderson dully watched the lights flash on and off in the dusk, but saw only a lake v ith a woman in a rufflled white dress and a man m khaki. Then she sighed and turned to her chair. She polished and adjusted her glasses and picked up a book. Unseeingly, she turned over its printed pages. They v ere blurred and dim. In the next room Miss Simpson twisted the dials of her radio in an attempt to find her favorite crooner. First, however, she got another station. Spring is here,” Miss Henderson heard the announcer say importantly, and v e feel we must greet it. And so for our opening number v e present Mendels- sohn's ’Spring Song.' Gosh! said Miss Simpson. There's something about that music that gives me the creeps. It makes me feel like doing something crazy. Like—like—O, I don't know. She twisted the dials again and the crooner was in the dingy, but forgotten room, serenading the infatuated Miss Simpson and Miss Hines. But a husky voice v as singing in Miss Henderson's ear. It was soft and tender; it was all Miss Henderson had to remember. Darling, do you suppose when we are dead the world will be the same? Do you think the sun will be as bright and the woods as green and life as land?” Hazel Henderson dropped her head on the arms of the chair and began to cry, very quietly and sadly. [110] HOPE COLLEGE MILESTONE DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES” SYLVIA HUXTABLE There is a delightful poem by Haniel Long that has never been given its due publicity. The title is Dead Men Tell No Tales, and it concludes “But dead men tell no tales, they say! Except old tales that burn away The stifling tapestries of day: Old tales of life, of love and hate Of time and space, and will, and fate.” The dead men whose fine gray dust sifts through Time at those two Eldoradoes of Western Michigan, Port Sheldon and Singapore, must move their ghostly jaws in sepulchral grin when some new smart-aleck solemnly reiterates that dead men tell no tales. As Haniel Long puts it, dead men do tell tales, tales of “—love and hate, of—will and fate.” More than a century ago a young Philadelphia blade on a pleasure trip over Michigan's lakes, found an ideally isolated spot on the “big lake near Grand Haven. An Eldorado dream was born and materialized. In the fall of that year the Ottawa House was built by New York and Philadelphia capitalists and shortly afterward the settlers came about forty strong with provisions, a doctor, and flimsy houses ready to set up. Engineers laid out the wild-cat settlement into lots; roads were built to Grand Haven and Grandville. a light- house was built; a company yacht was maintained; and a boating club organized. Then came the great panic of 1837. The gay founders of the village kept up their lives of debauchery for a time, and then, after a final wild night of revelry, during which several men and women were killed, the bubble burst. The dead were buried next day, and the irresponsible backers went on to greener fields. One Abram Pike was left the solitary monarch of all he sur- veyed. He sold the hotel and a few lots for what little he could get, and the wild-cat town was deserted. But the romance remains. They still say, when the wind blows high, that ghosts are dancing the stately measures of their day in the long since gone Ottawa House; they say that the young Philadelphia wastrel roams about and weeps to see the ruin of his fine plans; they say that the ardent fools buried most of their money under the tag-alders for safety, and that there it remains to this day. While Port Sheldon's sun was rising, another town was being planned some twenty miles south on the big lake.” Capitalistic schemers from the east had investigated the lumber in Western Michigan and found it promising. Singa- pore's founders knew the value of the giants that grew along the wooded shores; they knew how easily the logs could be driven down the Kalamozoo [HI] HOPE COLLEGE MILESTONE in the spring freshets to the lumbering mill at the mouth of the river. Michi- gan's white pines and oaks were to fall under the ruthless saw of the lumber- jacks. The sanguine capitalists, however, overlooked one thing in their calcu- lations: Nature's powerful tool, the wind. Behind the village of Singapore stretched a huge sand dune. To the hardwork- ing jacks, it was, if they thought of it at all, like Vesuvius, the mountain forever stilled. But the wind is a strange element. It may sweep softly across the lake and the dunes, scarcely causing a ripple; it may lash the lake into an inferno of wild waves. The dune that crouched behind the town began to move downward. Slowly, slowly, but surely, sand drifted through the streets and upon the steps of the frame buildings. It lay as a fine film of dust upon the windows. It huddled about the bases of the trees. The company became alarmed as the aimless drifting continued; wisely they stopped operations and moved away with all their paraphernalia. And Singapore was deserted and left to the dead. For a time, it was inhabited by squatters, who scurried like stray animals through the sand-laden streets and houses. And still the dune continued to drift over the once teeming village; and Singapore, too, was a forgotten Eldorado of Western Michigan. Although it was October, and the season at an end, we had decided that we could not forego a final picnic. The highway, which was usually so busy, had little traffic. We drove through part of the fruit belt, but now the trees were stripped and barren against the sky; and the cherries and peaches that had not been sold in the Chicago markets or taken to the canning factories, were standing in proud and even rows upon the basement shelves. The lake drive was dark and deserted. Dark, for although fall was here, most of the bordering trees had retained their leaves and the sun had not sent its warming rays through the thick autumnal mass—and deserted, for the summer resorters were gone, the cottages boarded up, and the furniture stood shrouded and disconsolate in the darkened houses. After we had eaten we cached the thermos and the baskets and walked down the sandy beach. There, before us, lay Singapore, the tiny lost village. One hundred years ago and less this had been the site of a thriving lumbering settlement; and then the eternal shifting of the dune country had buried it, and where the proud sturdy buildings had stood, now only dune grass waved lonely spears through the white sand. One hundred years ago, I thought, husky lumberjacks stood beneath this dune, v here I stand now, sawing Michi- gan's hardwoods, floating them dov n the Kalamazoo, placing them on the river barges, drinking the whisky at the bright saloons, and cursing and loving life and themselves. Now all this is gone; and this great dune, a Vesuvius in disguise, is solitary master. [ 112] HOPE COLLEGE MILESTONE We were silent, our high spirits temporarily quenched in the face of this slight but overwhelming force, when suddenly, not three feet away, a spoonful of sand shifted and fell. Another spoonful shifted and fell slowly. Still another shifted and moved down, gathering speed and more sand as it moved, and fell, a tiny avalanche, into the stream that was once a river. There was a grand and impressive finality to that gesture; a ruthless hand was behind this; and an unhappy ghost seemed to be saying in a proud, unrelenting way, ' I mean to show you who's boss around here. The wind blew hard and flat- tened our clothes against our backs. I shivered. The moment was pregnant with memories of a tempestuous, ghostly past. We walked pensively back to our banked fire. We piled the driftwood high and watched the flames go roaring up. Above us a flock of wild geese honked in haunted, mournful cadences, bound on their long southward flight—forever pagan and untameable, like the dunes. The dim haze of on-coming winter was about us in the chilling air. Behind us furtive shadows laughed at our solemnity. I looked away and saw, in the shadowy after-image of the fire, jacks quarreling over their cards, and their jealous women watching them, looking over their shoulders—looking over our shoulders! ... We said little and in this eerie dusk, I would not have been surprised to see Paul Bunyan himself drop down to warm his hands at our fire. In fact, such was the spell, that I knew he was with us, and the wind whistling thinly and then heavily in from the lake was not the wind at all, but the Blue Ox champing uneasily at the seven league boots of his master. From the glow of the fire we could see the white breakers pouring onto the beach. The wind blew strongly from the lake and we felt the first stinging drops of rain upon our dreamy faces. We were sad with the sadness of year's end. There was a hint of heavy chill and even snow in the air. Winter was very definitely just around the corner. Our sadness, too, was the sadness of mortality; for things, and for towns that live, and therefore, in time must come to die, elaborate fancies of the ghosts of the past. I knew, suddenly, that Hazlitt was wrong; youth does realize the mortality of things. I knew that it is finally only the dead men who tell tales: . . old tales that burn away The stifling tapestries of day: Old tales of life, of love and hate Of time and space, and will, and fate. [ 113] HOPE COLLEGE MILESTONE THEY SHALL NOT DIE SYLVIA HUXTABLE They shall not die. Because they once were young And cooly dared the spray of swinging seas And freely gave a light and ready tongue To all that pleased themselves, or did not please, They shall not die. The laughing boys who talked Of life's sweet pain and spring's enduring breath And with true loves at dusk dim pathways walked; These lads shall never die a final death. They know not yet the sullenness of blood. The dreary trenches that before them lie; That from their hearts will rise no joyous flood— But since they once were young, they shall not die. And they know not, nor make they any sound. When their bodies plummet to the riven ground. They shall not die. A bright field now they know, A lovely field that no stark cross defines. The thousand shy and muted winds that blow Are but the subtle chorus of their minds. But nov a chill and darker wine they quaff, A heavy wine that was not mulled on earth, That bears the ring of Hades mighty laugh And mellowed not with Thalia's heady mirth. Because they once were young, they have not died: A sea-change they have known, a rising wind Has by some alchemy cold death defied And to the ages, their brave wings has pinned. And no sere gas again will blind their eyes To war, and all the truth that with it dies. II [H4] HOPE COLLEGE MILESTONE lit Row : P. Verhulit. M. Moody. E. Tirrdl, A. Dc Jongc, L. Butcr. 2nd Row: G.

The presen- tation established the continuation of the annual dramatic tradition as a certainty. The production, which was entitled The Late Christopher Bean”, written by Sidney Howard, was staged in the Holland High School auditorium, April twenty-eight and twenty-nine. Much of the great success of the play was due to the skilled and able direction of Miss Ethelyn Metz, a graduate of the Northwestern School of Speech. The play was exceptionally well cast, distinguished by smooth action, clever portraiture, and proper emphasis on the dramatic moments occurring fre- quently in the plot. The action of the play is laid in the New England home of Dr. Haggett, a typical village doctor, with the plot centering around the paintings of a poor artist Chris Bean”, who had spent some time on the Haggett place before his death ten years previously. HOPE COLLEGE MILESTONE The curtain rose on the Haggett living room, a most attractive setting, and the characters took their parts with the ease and assurance of veterans. Mayo Hadden was a most convincing Dr. Haggett, while his attractive daughters played their parts capably in the manner required by their roles. These parts were taken by Marjorie Moody and Patricia Verhulst, the one thoughtful and sweet, the other vain and ambitious. Mrs. Haggett, played by Alberta De Jonge, portrayed the shrewish wife and mother to perfection. Outstanding in her leading role of Abby, maid-of-all-work, unduly interested in the better things of life, was Lucille Buter. Others who v ere convincing in their parts were Harold De Pree, the bashful though talented Warren Creamer; George Ziegler as Tallant; Earnest Tirrell, who gave a clever characterization of the Jewish art dealer; and Del Te Paske as Davenport, a distinguished art critic. Good diction and apt use of the Yankee vernacular added to the success of the performance, which showed evidence of skillful direction and studied application on the part of the talented group of actors. Much credit for the success of the play must be given to the following: Business Manager Advertising Manager Assistant Raymond Boot Robert Haack Earl Faber Property Managers Mistress of Robes P.

In early fall, all the recruits slipped into the uniform sweaters and dark skirts (a study in navy blue and gold) to start spreading buns and pouring coffee for hungry spectators at football games. The Homecoming game caused extra demand which was followed by the call for frost-bites and candy during the famous '38 basketball season. The Athletic Debt Diggers also supplied bars at Voorhees Hall for in-between snacks, and this year have joined in the fun at the Carnival sponsored by the Women's Activities League by occupying a booth where folks could step right this way” to buy what they wished. The five Senior girls were awarded their gold emblems early in the season instead of at graduation. Another year has passed and we hope that next year may be as successful and profitable as this one has been.

WOMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Women's Athletic Association was founded at the beginning of the year 1938 for the purpose of furthering athletics for girls within the college. Under the joint sponsorship of the Athletic Debt Diggers, the Women's Activities League, and the physical education department, the Women's Athletic Asso- ciation has already laid the foundation for a permanent means of developing the physical side of Hope women students. All the girls of the college automatically become members of the Association with the payment of their activities fees, but there is a board of nine which control all its activities. The Association was backed financially by the A.D.D. and the college administration. Under the main board there were girls appointed to take charge of handling the various athletic activities of the Association. Among these activities were bowling, swimming, basketball, badminton and ping-pong during the winter, and hiking, tennis, roller-skating, and horse-back riding in the spring. The Association also had a hand in sponsoring the annual girls' track meet held on May 6, and was responsible for the tennis team which competed with various M.I.A.A. colleges.

After starting the season rather auspiciously with three wins and a tie, we lost our final four games, partly because of the inability of Marcus and Northouse to play because of injuries. Opening the season with twelve letter-men from last year's squad and strong Sophomore and reserve material, Hope conquered its first opponent of the season. Olivet, in a night game, 6-0. Northouse was injured and was laid up two weeks. Hope counted in the first period on a forty yard jaunt by Bran- nock, a Sophomore, playing his first game of college ball. Hope pushed Olivet all over the field for the remainder of the game, piling up sixteen first downs to Olivet's two. Brannock's running ability stood out in Hope's first win of the season. Hope's second game and also its second victim was Grand Rapids Junior Col- lege. Score 12-0. Hope scored in both the first and fourth quarters. Thomas scored in the first quarter by smashing over center. Marcus and Thomas stood out in the back field, with Schaubel, De Groot and Heneveld playing excellent games in the line. Hillsdale proved to be Hope's first M.IJLA. victim, but not until after a long, hard-fought battle. Hope gained a great deal of ground the first half and it [ 124} HOPE COLLEGE MILESTONE V x j d „ r r • i- MILTON L HINGA Director of Athletics JOHN H SCHOUTEN Director of Physical Education looked as if Hope would score readily, but the half ended 0-0. In g the second half Hillsdale did most m •-:% I J of the ground gaining, but did not score. A long pass, Marcus to Schaubel, in the waning minutes of the game put the ball across and gave Hope its first conference vic- tory. The Ferris game ended in a 0-0 tie. The team showed a marked let- down after the Hillsdale game. Hope's next game was with Kala- mazoo and Hope was beaten rather badly, 26-0. It was Hope's first de- feat and placed Kalamazoo at the top. Kalamazoo scored twice in the first few minutes of play and it took a lot of pep out of our fellows right from the start. This game cost us Bob Marcus who was laid up the rest of the year with an extremely bad shoulder. Van Domelen really stood out for Hope. The Kalamazoo jinx certainly hit us this game. The game was a homecoming game and a large crowd witnessed the contest. The following week Hope journeyed to Ypsilanti to play Michigan Normal and lost 19-0. However, Hope had some tough breaks which spelled defeat. Thomas played the best game of his college career. Van Domelen also played an excellent game. In those last two games Hope outgained both oppo- nents, Kalamazoo nine first downs to eight and Ypsi, seven first downs to six, but the scoring punch had been lost. Alma was Hope's homecoming oppo- nent and not until in the last minutes did Alma come through with a field goal to win 3-0. Both teams were re- peatedly near the other's goal line but could not put the ball across. Hope lost to Albion 6-0 in its last game of the season Hope’s running attack was smothered by Albion's fast, hard charging line and the passes failed to click. Hope failed to threaten at any time during the game. Albion scored in the first quarter and then fought hard to retain its lead. it t- m mmm r.

VARSITY BASKETBALL Starting the season with six lettermen from last year's championship squad and v ith some strong Sophomore material, it looked as if the Dutch might repeat in M I A A competition The Hope squad, however, tied v ith Kalama- zoo for the lead at the end of the regular season. A playoff was arranged for and Kalamazoo v on the playoff at the Civic Auditorium by the score of 44-31. The old jinx the same team not being able to win the title twice in succession. Hope opened its season v ith Ferris on their home floor. Due to a shoulder injury received in football, Marcus did not play the first game. The initial game was marked by some good ball-handling. The end of regulation play- ing time found Hope leading 39-17. Michigan State, Hope's second opponent, was found to be too tough a nut to crack. The Dutch failed to repeat last year's victory and lost 51-27. Vanden Berg, due to a broken nose received in the Ferris game, did not see much action. However, as the season progressed, we saw that it was no disgrace to be whipped by Michigan State, as they defeated some of the strongest teams in the country. The final game before the Christmas holidays found the Dutch losing to Michi gan Normal by the score of 35-26. This was due mostly to the fact that Hope was unable to stop Walsh, the Hurons' speedy forward. Following the vacation Hope journeyed to Kalamazoo to play Western State. After playing them practically even for three quarters, the Dutch five faltered [130] HOPE COLLEGE MILESTONE - -v - A . ° ' ' i v e..-v in the last quarter and Western scored eight points in the last two minutes to win the game 50-35. Vanden Berg was high scorer for the evening with ten points, fol- lowed by Thomas and Marcus with eight points each. Slikkers started his first game at guard and from then on he enjoyed the starting call at guard. Following the Western game, Hope had one more warm-up contest, with Ferris, and Hope emerged victor on the Ferris floor. In its first conference game with Olivet, Hope decisively trounced the Comets 62-20. Every player on the squad got into the game. The high scoring game featured Thomas with twelve points and Honholt and Brannock with eleven each. Following the Olivet contest Hope played Alma and by a great show of scoring power polished The third conference game was v ith Albion, who had already proved to bo the surprise team of the league. The game was a see-saw battle for three quarters. Hope drew away to a 40-28 lead which in the next few minutes was cut to 41-40. The Dutch then pulled away in a finishing spurt v ith the final score 47-41. Hope's unblemished record v as punctured v hen the Dutch journeyed to Kala- mazoo and lost a thrilling overtime game to the Hornets. Inability to keep Spalsbury from scoring cost the Dutch the game. The final score was 39-37. The next game with Alma proved to be another win for Hope and it placed the Dutch in a triple tie for first with Albion and Kazoo. Marcus played one of his best games of the year as he led in scoring with a total of eleven points. Olivet and Michigan Normal were the next opponents and the Dutch emerged with one victory and one defeat, v inning from Olivet 40-19 and losing a thrill- ing contest to Ypsi 33-30. Slikkers put on a scoring exhibition v ith tv elve points to his name. Hope encountered Adrian, a newcomer to the conference, and walked away with a 74-23 win. Heneveld, Hope's center, scored sixteen points, followed by Thomas with thirteen points. The next tv o games were with Hillsdale and the Dutch squad took both games, v inning at home by a substantial margin and repeating again on Hillsdale's fieldhouse floor. CAPTAIN DON THOMAS' Alma off 61-30. [131] S h HOPE COLLEGE MILESTONE m - ff Albion, the next opponent, proved too tough and Hope dropped the contest 44-38. The defeat dropped the Dutch to second place, a half-game back of Kalamzoo. Inability of the Dutch defense to stop Foye and Teduniak, who scored thirteen and fifteen points respectively, cost Hope the game they needed. Thomas and Boyink were outstanding for Hope with nine and seven points, respectively. The following game with Adrian revealed Hope's fight to regain the lead and Adrian was taken into camp by a wide margin. Hope's fighting Dutch then returned home for the last game on the schedule—with Kalamazoo. Hope won, 48-41, necessitating a playoff for the championship. The playoff was disastrous for the Hope team and it resulted in the loss of the game. Score 44-31. The game was played at the Civic Auditorium in Grand Rapids. Brannock was high scorer with fifteen points. Spalsbury and Howard accounted for most of Kazoo's points.

INTERFRATERNITY BASKETBALL In no interfraternity athletics is competition so keen as in basketball. The rivalry which exists between the teams does not assure any quintet of certain victory. Every game had to be WON! The Fraternal team led the pack this year, winning the championship and the distinction of drubbing the College Freshmen on the Armory floor. This was the first time in history that a fraternity team has beaten the College Freshman team. The only defeat the Fraternals suffered was at the hands of the Cosmopolitans by a one-point margin. The Cosmopolitans were unquestionably the toughest foe encountered by the Fraternals throughout the season. Every contest between the two fraternities was decided by one or two points. The only man the Fraternals lose through graduation is Capt. William Arends horst, midget forward. All other men will be returning next year to fight for a successive championship. [133] j ; .

The outdoor season for Hope started on April 30 when the thin clads traveled to Kalamazoo for a triangle meet with Kalamazoo and Olivet. Northouse and Powers were outstanding in the shot put and discus. Hop qualified in the discus event. Brannock and Buteyn excelled in the sprints as did Timmer and Waldo in the 880 run. This meet proved to be the test for several new men on the squad. This year the Interfraternity Track Meet, sponsored by the Anchor, was held on May Day. The contest was as thrilling as the one of last year, with genuine rivalry between the Cosmopolitan fraternity, the defending champions, and the Fraternal fraternity, runner-up of last year. The Fraternals won the meet. The medal for the greatest number of individual points was earned by Lee Brannock. ] Coach Schouten trained the men every day with excellent results, which were shown at the M.I.A.A. Field Day, held on May 27. [ 136] HOPE COLLEGE MILESTONE ‘9. £ eV I' fv, 0P£ (JLLEGE OPE COLLEGE COLLEGT: OPE.. .Allege 1st Row : D. Poppcn, W. Arendshorst. � . PIcunc. C . Plukke. 2nd Row : A.

TENNIS The varsity tennis squad entered the 1938 trophy race with several veterans returning to form the nucleus of the team. The veterans, Arendshorst, Fleune, Boyink, and De Groot, along with the reserve strength of Lampen, were sup- ported by good Sophomore players in Poppen and Joldersma. Kalamazoo was the team Hope had to beat in order to take the championship. Kalamazoo boasted some good Sophomore material, capable of defeating the best in the state. The entire season consisted of only a few weeks of active practice, followed by a strenuous seventeen-match schedule booked by Coach Kleinheksel. The climax of the season was reached in the M I.A. A. tournament held at Kala- mazoo. The team of Pleune, Boyink, Arendshorst, and De Groot, along with the others, played excellent games in the bid for first place honors.

GOLF The beginning of the golf season found Coach Raymond and the squad prac- ticing vigorously to get into playing form for a long and strenuous schedule. The outlook for the season appeared bright with the return of four lettermen, supported by the reserve strength of Haack and Heneveld. Slikkers, a Sopho- more, was expected to give the others a good run for one of the first four posi- tions. The veterans of the squad were Marcus. Van Dussen, Hopkins, and Hadden. Marcus, who played the number two position last year, has improved and was a probable winner of individual honors this season. The golf squad seemed destined to finish at the top to win the crown for Hope. Our team has completed a successful golfing season. [138] .1 HOPE COLLEGE MILESTONE 1st Row: W. Arcmlshorst. J. Luidens.

H CLUB The H Club is composed of those athletes who have won a varsity award in athletic activity of some sort. This organization does the most to stimulate interest and enthusiasm in athletics on Hope's campus. These men represent capable performers on Hope's net teams, mainstays on the football and basket- ball teams, and record breakers on the track and on the fairway. The Senior members of this group, each one an all-around athlete, have served Hope for four years. The other wearers of the coveted H will have opportunities to serve Hope for at least another season. It would be hard to find a finer group of athletes anywhere. Hope is proud of the men in the H Club and thankful for the prestige that the men of the Orange and Blue have captured for her.
