And the knights are they who hasten on to fill their quests; the esquires remain to lift high the banner of Hope; and, with them, the pages offer their aid while following the quest of knowledge; and the jesters are for the entertain- ment of them all.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES This honored group, the governing body of Hope College, assumes as its responsibility and trust the direction of the policies and interests of our insti- tution. It is an incorporated body consisting of thirty members. Nine of these are elected by the General Synod of the Reformed Church in America. Elec- tions are held in the various Classes of the Particular Synods of Chicago and Iowa to determine the other members of this ruling body. Sixteen of the trus- tees are laymen; there is one woman on the board; and the others include ministers in the Reformed Church in America, and twenty-four Alumni repre- sentatives. The Hope College Board of Trustees visits the campus at two different times during the year. The first meeting of this revered body takes place during the month of April. The second is held in June. But the members are not inactive during the rest of the year. They function through several committees, the most important of which are the Executive, Investment, and Instruction Com- mittees. The aims and high ideals which motivate their love for Hope College may be aptly revealed in the words of Alfred Lord Tennyson, the loved poet of that friend of Hope College, Dr. Nykerk; Let knowledge grow from more to more; But more of reverence in us dwell, That mind and soul according well May make one musiG as before.

STUDENT COUNCIL Under the capable leadership of president Willard De Groot, the Student Council once again supervised a very successful college year. The All-College Mixer, held in the Fall, provided an excellent means of social orientation for the Freshmen. This event was followed by the Frosh-Soph Athletic contests, the underclass Black River rope pull, in which the Freshmen emerged victo- rious, and the annual malediction—the Freshman Trial. The Homecoming celebration, with prizes for the best float and fraternity house decorations, coupled with an Alumni Banquet, closed the Fall season. The Nykerk Cup Contest, in which the Frosh and Soph girls participate, introduced the winter events. Basketball pep meetings helped engender greater interest in the sport An amazingly popular and successful Get-acquainted and Dutch Treat week carried on a campus tradition. Thus, the winter passed into the background and ushered in the spring social activities, the primary event of which was the All-College Track and Field day, climaxed by an evening All-College Banquet. With a definite goal in view, the Student Council began work on the main project of the year this September. We have appreciated the loyal support of all the college organizations and the Women's League of the Chicago Classis, and feel confident that we shall attain our goal next Fall—a Commons Room.

Blue Key is a national honor fraternity whose member- ship is composed of Senior men who have been selected for their high stand- ards of scholarship and active participation in campus affairs. Serving, I live is the motto of Blue Key. In the promotion of the welfare of the college and of the students during the past year. Blue Key has again maintained the Book Store in Van Raalte Hall, published the football programs, prepared the Student Guide, and given its full support to the undertaking of a Commons room which will provide a genial atmosphere for student fellow- ship. Perhaps Blue Key's outstanding feature is the fact that once a month, at the regular business meetings, students and faculty meet on common ground, and thus a better feeling is created between the two groups. Climaxing its sea- son's work, a formal dinner was provided at Eaton's Restaurant. From there the group went to see the presentation of The Milky Way,” a comedy by the Grand Rapids Civic Players.

The work of the nine girls who composed its ranks during the year has been to a great extent the laying of the ground-work for the members who are to be received in years to come. The original constitution was revised and re-adopted, and the standards of membership improved and revamped. The first project of Alcor was the making and selling of the favors for Home- coming. This successful venture was followed by a formal dinner at the home of Mrs. Prins, one of the patronesses. In December Alcor met again at the home of one of the members for a Christmas celebration. During the W.A.A. basketball season Alcor increased the funds of its treasury by selling sandwiches and milk to the girls in the dormitory. Mrs. Snow, an- other patroness, kindly opened her home in March for the annual party to which the members invite their friends. Seven Junior girls were elected to Alcor membership in May and initiated at the final banquet of the year. These girls were chosen on the basis of the excellent record they had so far achieved in their entire college work. This is the standard that Alcor encourages and which it honors by membership within its ranks.

KNICKERBOCKER A backward glance o'er traveled roads,” is this review of satisfying accom- plishment for the Ruby and Black 'neath the Orange and the Blue.” A contin- ued effort v as again evident to maintain the high ideals of Knickerbocker, especially in the channels of social, moral, and intellectual achievements. Another chapter of Knickerbocker history v as begun in its more adequate and centrally located home, with a select group of new and promising men to aid in carrying on established tradition, which every loyal member cherishes in his memory. To maintain social prestige there were the excellent, delightful open house parties, stags, and never-to-be-forgotten annual formal fall and spring banquets. Inter-society activities have again, as in past years, brought forth the best in Knickerbocker. With its winning of the Homecoming house decoration prize, its whole-hearted support of campus activities, its keen spirit of competition and display of good sportsmanship in inter-fraternity sports, Knickerbocker has justly earned its place as one of the leading and progressive societies on Hope's campus.

SIBYLLINE Sibylline milestones for the year are beacons of progress; the twentieth anni- versary year is a significant one for all. The passing of the year recalls fond memories: of the formation of friendships and loyalties as steadfast and endur- ing as milestones themselves; of new members gained whose purposes are consistent with Sibylline ideals of love and loyalty, Sibylline aspirations of sincerity and truth; of leadership of Sibyls in every phase of campus activity, with a democratic spirit radiating from all; of the cultivation and development of all-round social, moral, and intellectual virtues of womanhood; of the laud- able achievements, both scholastic and otherwise, of members—all with fun and frolic continuous throughout. And thus Sigma Iota Beta carries onward the traditions of the blue and silver, upholding ever the criterions of the society—a strong body, a pure mind, and a right spirit for all—and ever presses onward toward the best for Hope and Sibylline.

Founded at Union College of Schenectady. New York, in 1834, and moved to Hope College by Dr. Phillip Phelps, first president of the college, in 1863, Fraternal is continuing this year its age old tradition of being a builder of men. Men who dedicate themselves seriously in the classroom, and enthusiastically in the field of sport and extra-curricular endeavor, are finding this year, as men have always found under the banner of the purple and gold, the hub of campus life among Fraternals. During the collegiate year of 1938-39, Fraternal has earnestly set itself as an integral part of Hope College. Its men have—individually and collectively— won campus and state honors in sports, oratory, and drama. By winning again the Interfraternity Basketball championship, by ranking in Homecoming activities, and by co-operating in student and administrative projects. Frater- nal sons have proved themselves worthy men of Hope.

EMERSONIAN Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, A friend is Janus-faced, he looks to the past and the future. He is the child of all my foregoing hours, the prophet of those to come, and the harbinger of a great friend. ' Emersonian continues to grow in the greatest of friendships—brotherhood. Although nearing our twen- tieth year, men of Phi Tau Nu cherish that spirit of initiative and fair play which distinguished our charter members. The venerable Beach estate has been v itness to the initiation of twenty new men, a year of leadership in forensics, debate, and religious activity, a prize-winning float, and that memor- able week of quarantine. The social season weighed anchor at a nautical fall party, with interesting cruises to joint meetings and banquets, climaxed by a gala spring party. In the spirit of “Love, Honor, Freedom, Success, Emer- sonain welcomes Professor Albert Timmer as Faculty Advisor. OFFICERS President Vice-President Secretary FIRST TERM James Hallan H.

In Sep- tember there was our slumber party at Muller's cottage— hot-dogs” and marshmallows, and sleeping in unusually cramped quarters! Then there were the happy days of rushing—planning parties and entertain- ing the Freshman girls—and now we have ten bright new members to bring honor to Dorian. Our winter and spring parties were the usual gala affairs with important dates, colorful formals, and tuneful programs. We welcome joyfully the alumnae of Dorian during their brief visits. We have tried to maintain the high ideals and lofty hopes which they and the spirit of Dorian have instilled in us. Now we bid a fond farewell to the Seniors who, throughout the years they have spent with us, have remained staunchly true to the banner of lavender and gold.

COSMOPOLITAN Successful pledging opened another year of outstanding Cosmopolitan activ- ity, which has added to the laurels of the society that has been continually prominent since its organization in 1890 on Hope's campus. In a true Cosmo- politan spirit, her members participated, as always, in all phases of college activity in addition to their eminent scholastic achievements. Cosmos was prominent in social activities as in former years. Open house and the fall party were delightful events of the early season. An evening of sparkling entertainment marked the joint meeting with Delphi Sisters as the ne plus ultra'' in enjoyable companionship. The apex of social achievement was attained in the brilliance of a never-to-be-forgotten spring party. Cosmos basketball, track, and baseball teams were outstanding in their specialties, and brought additional honor to the fraternity. Phi Kappa Alpha looks for- ward to even greater achievements in a brilliant future.

We” had informal and formal initiation? “We” broadcast our ‘‘Hour of Charm” at the Warm Friend Tavern? “We”, Cosmos and Delphi, held our joint meeting at the Cosmos house? “We”, the editorial “We” comprising thirty-five “Is , represents the Delta Phi Sorority. Our ideals, loyalties, and accomplishments have succeeded in hold- ing us together against all odds. During this school year, the members of Delphi have brought her much honor and have distinguished themselves in various fields of campus activities, proving that they are capable of both indi- vidual and group work.

ALETHEAN As another year rolls into history, Aletheans recall the many happy times they spent together. Among the memories that will always be retained are those of the Thanksgiving tea, the Christmas breakfast, and the winter roller skating party. During the autumn they entertained all the new girls of the college at a party. Just before Thanksgiving, pledges were welcomed into the society. A whole day was spent in their honor, beginning with a luncheon and matinee in Grand Rapids, and closing with a party in the evening. In the spring came the Easter meeting. Mother's Day tea, and, to top the year off, the spring party) Aletheans, ever true to the rose and blue, look forward to another happy year of fellowship together, and to the friendships that mean so much to them.

ANCHOR Since it first originated in magazine form, the “Anchor” has contributed much to Hope College. As the college paper, it has co-operated in all the oustand- ing events that occurred during the school year. The voting booth at the All- College Carnival and the annual track meet on May Day are two of the activi- ties which the Anchor staff has sponsored. With Rose Teninga as Editor, great progress has been made, and many new and original ideas have been introduced. The system under which the publi- cation has been run is similar to that of a regular newspaper. Each reporter has received “beats” and the Freshmen have served as “cubs.” This proved an excellent method of covering all the college news completely and accu- rately. The “Anchor” debt has been almost entirely effaced, leaving opportunities for additional pictures and better materials for next year's paper.

The usual Tuesday eve- ning meetings have been held each week with many and varied programs. By way of introducing itself to the new students in the fall, the Y.W., in con- junction with the Y.M., held the traditional beach party for the Freshmen. Other events have been sponsored by both groups, such as the All-College Party, v ith George Campbell aiding us; the annual Prayer Week, under the guidance of Dr. M. J. Stauffer; and the Missionary Drive for the Basrah Boys' School. At the Christmas season, the Y.W. made holly boutonnieres and sold them on the campus in order to make up a Christmas Toy Box which they sent to the mission station at Dulce, New Mexico. The customary Easter Sunrise Service was held with an invitation to all the students to attend. The Y.W. also sent several delegates to various state conferences where interesting and valuable discussions were held. Thus it carries on its program of building Christians in body, mind, and spirit.

The regular weekly meet- ings were outstanding, and numerous changes were made in the ever growing program of Y. The term has witnessed another advance in the rapidly in- creasing duties of the organization. The “Y-Fore heralded newcomers to the campus, and the Association Union filled orientation week with activities, climaxed by the traditional beach party, to familiarize the Freshmen with the city of Holland, and to acquaint them with their fellow students. The high standard set in previous years for weekly meetings was not lowered; perhaps pre-eminent in the group of speakers were such men as Dr. Milton Stauffer, Dr. Samuel Graflin, Dr. William Moerdyke from Arabia, and many outstanding men from nearby cities and various walks of life. Dr. Stauffer's leadership once more brought a spiritual blessing to Hope's campus when he conducted a successful Prayer Week, concentrating on the theme Both Hearing Them and Asking Them Questions.” Not to be outdone by the last Cabinet, the Y once again collected more than five hundred dollars for the Boys' School at Basrah, Arabia. A vigorous and well superintended campaign preceded pledging during a special chapel service, led by the renowned Dr. Wells Thoms.

CHRISTIAN WORKERS' LEAGUE The Christian Workers' League, an organization of students who are inter- ested in Christian work and plan to enter either part or full time Christian service, has had a very successful year. Gospel teams have been sent to several near-by churches. A large Hope delegation attended the Calvin-Hope Mission Conference at Calvin College, April 15 and 16, where they enjoyed the Christian fellowship and inspirational services arranged by the Calvin Mission Band. In accordance with its aim and purpose, to promote whole-hearted conse- cration to our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ; and to stimulate each other in our prayer and devotional life; to create an interest in, foster the study of, and make preparation for Christian work at home and abroad, the League meets every Friday afternoon in its room in the Memorial Chapel. The meetings are opened by a devotional period which is followed by discussion or an inspira- tional message.

PI KAPPA DELTA Yet hold it more humane, more heavenly, first, By winning words to conquer willing hearts, And make persuasion do the work of fear. This verse expresses a purpose of Pi Kappa Delta which the Michigan Gamma Chapter seeks to accomplish through its meetings and through the forensic activities which it sponsors. Pi Kappa Delta has again sponsored the annual high school debate tourna- ment, and college debating, oratory, extempore speaking, and interpretative reading. In inter-collegiate competition Hope College maintained her excellent standard in forensics, with particular success in the Pi Kappa Delta Province of the Lakes Tournament held at Kent University, Kent, Ohio. Through our meetings we have sought to correlate the various departments in the curriculum with the work in speech. We have seen the mechanics of sound, the conversation of animals, the humor in colloquialisms, and the re- markable work done with deaf people. All this has broadened the field of speech for us. In April we added twenty new members to our chapter to make it the largest in our history. The events of the year were climaxed at our annual spring banquet with a challenge for another eventful year. OFFICERS President—Donald Van Liere Vicc-Presidont—Isla Meppelink Secretary—Orville Hine Treasurer—Robert Bonthius Faculty Advisor—Dr. Rolland Shackson [90] Hope Colle ge (Dilestone ROBERT BONTHIUS MEN'S ORATORY Robert Bonthius' oration, Galileos of 1939, proved a refreshing treatment of the relationship of science and religion and won for him the Col- lege Raven Oratorical prize. He said that the growth of science in the last three hundred years has given rise to a powerful philosophy. The Naturalistic view applies the scientist's methods to all of life and rejects that which cannot be measured or computed as be- ing worthless. In conclusion he stated that the truth of the matter is that both religion and science have certain in- sights. Science may yet become the eyes of re- ligion, while religion is ever the heart of science. Mr. Bonthius' oration placed fourth in a field of ten contestants at the State meet. On April 8, he was awarded the second place bronze medal in the biennial Pi Kappa Delta Provincial Speech Convention at Kent, Ohio. WOMEN'S ORATORY The title, Bacillus Propagandis, of Rose Tenin- ga's winning oration carried a thrust to the heart of that potent v ar-arouser—propaganda. Miss Teninga likened war propaganda to a deadly bacteria that is spread chiefly by news- papers. The victims are the readers, who, by accepting the press' word at face value, are dis- eased. The outworking of the infection is the dis- tortion of the individuals' minds with the result that they are unable to resist war hysteria and enlistment. The solution, she contended, is a rational one. The Bacillus Propagandis cannot enter the mind that considers carefully the pro's and con's of the situation. If everyone would be objective, today's most powerful germ, Propagandis, would receive a death blow. The oration took first place in the annual Ade- laide Oratorical Contest; Miss Virginia Ellison won second place. At the annual Michigan Inter- collegiate Speech League contest Miss Teninga placed fourth in a large field. [91 1 ROSE TENINGA Front Row: M. Feller. T. Mculcndykc. 1 Bielefeld. I.. K.mlux. I.

WOMENS DEBATE This season nine teams debated on the intercollegiate question, ''Resolved: That the United States Government should cease to use public funds (includ- ing credit) for the purpose of stimulating business. This vital question of the day was found to be very interesting, as well as highly informative of current politics. In November a practice tournament was held on the campus with debaters from Western State Teachers' College. A few weeks later the entire squad went to Michigan State College to take part in Round Table Conferences on special phases of the debate question. The Calvin College squad were Hope's guests at a series of practice debates. Debate activity in February was centered in the State Tournament at Kala- mazoo and the tournament at Manchester, Indiana. Four Hope teams debated in the latter. This year a Provincial Pi Kappa Delta Tournament was held at Kent University in Kent, Ohio, with tv o Hope teams debating. By participating in all these events, the squad enjoyed a successful and profitable season. That it was successful and profitable the debaters attribute to their coach, Professor Clarence De Graaf, who gave unstintingly of his time in working with them. [92] Front Row : W. Macak. R.

MEN'S DEBATE The Hope men's debate squad completed this year one of the most success- ful seasons in the entire history of forensics at Hope College. Eighteen men composed the squad, managed by Wilbur Jacobs and directed by Dr. Rolland Shackson, and every man was used in intercollegiate competition. The first test of strength came in the annual Hope Invitational Tourney in January, attended by thirty teams from seven Michigan and Indiana colleges. At the Michigan Inter-collegiate Speech League Tournament at Michigan State Col- lege in February, the squad as a whole won half its debates. It outdid itself at the Manchester-Huntington tournament later the same month, when, in competition with fifty universities and colleges from seven states, it won three- fourths of the thirty-two debates in which it engaged. At the Pi Kappa Delta Provincial Tournament at Kent University, Ohio, in April, one of the two teams making the trip, Jacobs and Pott, won two-thirds of its debates, while the other, Donald Van Liere and Robert Bonthius, went through the five preliminary rounds defeated only by Kent, a last year's rank- ing champion, and then turned the tables on them in the final round by de- feating them and winning for Hope the championship of the Province of the Lakes and a forensic Glory Day. In addition to the tournaments, the squad participated in many non-decision extension debates before interested civic groups. The question for the year was the currently interesting one of pump-priming, officially stated as follows: Resolved: That the United States should cease the use of public funds (in- cluding credit) for the purpose of stimulating business.” (93) Hope College OOilesTone WOMEN'S INTERPRETATIVE READING Interpretative reading was another highlight on the forensics calendar this year. The interest of the students in this dramatic activity has in- creased appreciably. Poetry, a thing of beauty in itself, becomes all the more beautiful when well read and interpreted. Nina Fopma, chosen Hope's winner in the local contest of April 12, represented the college in the poetry division of the state contest at Kalamazoo on May 5. The poems of her choice were Out, Out, a dramatic contrast of every day living and the tragedy of death, by Robert Frost, and ''Kill- ers,” Carl Sandburg's description of the horrors of war. Miss Fopma also read a selection at the Schoolmaster's Club in Ann Arbor on April 28 MEN'S INTERPRETATIVE READING The Inn that Missed Its Chance, a poem catch- ing its theme from the birth of Christ, and Fish- in', an original poem in negro dialect portraying the exuberant spirit of youth, were effectively rendered by Blase Levai, at the State Interpreta- tive Reading Contest in Kalamazoo. Representing Hope College as a result of his winning first place in the local competition, Levai tied for second in the state contest. A festival was held in the evening at which time the three winners in both the men's and v omen's divisions of the poetry contest rendered various lyric, dramatic, and humorous works. John Hains, another Freshman, won the privilege of entering the prose division of the state contest by being runner-up to Levai in the local poetry contest. At Kalamazoo Hains entered the spot reading event. The entrants are given prose pieces with which they are unacquainted. At the end of one hour they read their selections. Hains tied for first place in this division of the State BLASE LEVAI Interpretative Reading Content. MINA FOPMA [94 ] (Dilesfone VIRGINIA ELLISON WOMEN'S EXTEMPORE SPEAKING Although Miss Virginia Ellison had been active in debate work for two years, she entered the local extempore speaking contest for the first time this fall. Speaking on a phase of the general subject, “Socialized Medicine, Miss Ellison placed first in the contest at Hope, and, on November 22, was sent as a representative to the Michigan In- tercollegiate Speech League extempore speaking contest at Kalamazoo. In the State meet, she spoke again on “Socialized Medicine and placed third in her division. More interest was shown in women's extempore speaking on Hope's campus this year than at any time since its beginning in 1935. Besides Miss Ellison there were ten participants in the local contest: Isla Meppelink who placed second, Emily Bielefeld, Ruth De Young, Mary Felter, Mary Ruth Jacobs, Edith Rameau, Eunice Schol- ten, Jennie Spoelstra, Nelvie Vanderbilt, and Nelva Zandbergen. MEN'S EXTEMPORE SPEAKING By winning first place in the extempore speaking contest at Hope, Robert Bonthius became the col- lege representative in the Michigan Intercolle- giate Speech League. “National Minorities was the general subject on which Mr. Bonthius spoke. He placed fourth in one section of the State con- test. As in women's extempore speaking, an unusual amount of interest has been shown in this type of forensic activity. Eleven men participated in the local contest, of whom a great number were Freshmen. Wilbur Jacobs placed second in the contest and won third place when he represented Hope at the Provincial Pi Kappa Delta extempore speaking contest in Kent, Ohio. The third place in the local contest went to Donald Van Liere. All three of the extempore speakers were also active in debate. (95) ROBERT BONTHIUS (Elulta Hope Colle ge (Dilestone Front Row : L.

WOMEN'S ACTIVITIES LEAGUE The Women's Activities League closed a successful year under the capable leadership of President Mary Jane Vaupell. At the beginning of the school term, printed handbooks containing all the activities of the League were dis- tributed to the members. According to custom, the League provided one party a month for all the girls of the college. The year's program opened with an Orientation Tea in Sep- tember for all new girls. Then, as the various months rolled around, the girls were entertained by a Kid's Christmas Party and numerous teas v ith very interesting speakers as guests. In April the college girls had a special treat in the form of a Grooming Clinic and Style Show. The one all-college project of the League was the Carnival, held in November, at which all societies on the campus sponsored sideshov s. The unusually successful annual May Day, including the girls' track meet and interfraternity contests, was climaxed by the coronation of the new queen and the All-College Banquet in her honor. A farev ell beach party in June closed the year's program. OFFICERS President—Mary Jane Vaupell Vice-President—Lois Voorhorst Secretary—Margaret Greenfield Treasurer—Lucille Kardux [98] Front Row: D.

CHEMISTRY CLUB Founded sixteen years ago on the principle that education merely begins in the classroom, the Chemistry Club of Hope College attempts to supplement regular curricular work. At its monthly meetings papers are presented on various phases of theoretical and practical chemistry in an effort to keep pace with the rapidly enlarging field of chemical knowledge in a way that the class- room, hindered by its limited time, its formality, and its diversity of students, cannot do. The Senior members often present their numbers as informal lec- tures in preparation for the graduate assistantships which it has become almost traditional for the club members to receive. Each year the club makes a tour of several industrial plants which demonstrate practical applications of various fields of chemical knowledge. Limited in membership to Sophomore, Junior, and Senior chemistry majors with a scholarship average better than B , the club strives in every way to uphold the highest traditions of science at Hope College. For its past record, and for that which it hopes to accomplish in the future, the Chemistry Club respectfully acknowledges the able leadership of its sponsors, Dr. Van Zyl and Dr. Kleinheksel, and gives to them all the credit for any success it may have attained.

The organization was created last year through the interest and concern of Dr. Warner, their faculty adviser. The continued activi- ties of the club during this year have been inspired again by the enthusiasm of Dr. Warner. Entertainment at the regular meetings took the form of literary criticisms, dramatic sketches, and other pieces of creative writing produced by the members themselves. FRENCH CLUB The French Club, under the enthusiastic direction of Mrs. Prins and Miss Lichty, has enjoyed many entertaining meetings. Any student v ho has com- pleted a year of college French is eligible to become a member. In order that the members may improve their ability to converse in French, it is the rule of the club that all conversation be carried on in French. A program of interest- ing and amusing evenings was climaxed by a meeting with the German Club in the spring. GERMAN CLUB Through the influence of Miss Boyd, the German students have organized a club which has been active throughout the year. Games and songs in German aided the members in gaining a better understanding and command of the language. During the year the club enjoyed some slides of Germany and a speech given by Miss Randels, a teacher of modern languages in Holland High School, concerning her trip in that country. The reports on famous Ger- man authors provided another source of educational value for all the members. [101] Utair CD ilestone Front Row : T. Mculcndykc. A. Botch. M. Potter. M. Talman, Schreur.

CHAPEL CHOIR The spring of 1939 brings the satisfactory completion of the ninth year of the chapel choir's musical activity. This is the second year in which members have received academic credit for their choir work. Each Friday Professor Osborne turns the choir into a class in conducting, with batons lending the proper atmosphere. Each student in the choir takes his turn in directing the entire group. A student director leads the daily prayer response in chapel. On December 13, the chapel choir, in conjunction with the Holland Civic Chorus, gave their annual performance of Handel's ‘’Messiah.” Popular solo- ists assisted in the production. The oratorio was under the direction of Pro- fessor Kenneth Osborne and added to the spirit of the Christmas season. The chapel choir sang for the chapel services during Prayer Week and at various other times throughout the year. In May the choir took part in the School of Music recital. The performance was a credit to the hard work of the choir and director. Several new numbers were added to the choir repertoire this year. The choir is an important organization on the campus and is enjoyed by all.

HOPE COLLEGE BAND The Hope College Band has reached a new milestone in its three years of organized existence. This year it has taken its part commendably in all campus activities, both as a concert and a marching band. This will be veri- fied by all who have heard and seen the band perform on the gridiron in different formations. At the basketball games, the band entertained with peppy marches and popular music. It participated in the musical entertain- ment at the M.I.A.A. basketball play-off in competition with bands from Albion and Kalamazoo Colleges. A concert for the visiting high school students and participation in the Tulip Time parade concluded the season. Its marching band was colorfully aug- mented by two beautiful drum-majorettes and a very capable drum major. The Hope College Band has attained new heights musically under the able baton of its director, Cornelius J. Steketee, who gave unstintingly of his time and effort to make the band a credit to Hope College. Much of the success of the band this year is the result of the unceasing attention of its bandmaster, Mr. Daniel J. Zwemer, who bent every effort to keep the band a smooth, func- tioning organization. The band acknowledges the fine spirit of cooperation evidenced on the part of the Library Staff and the Administration for the use of the Library Reading Room for rehearsal purposes.

WOMEN'S GLEE CLUB The Women's Glee Club, under the able leadership of Mrs. Grace Dudley Fenton, again enjoyed a profitable and pleasant year. The girls gave pre-season concerts in Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids before leaving for a two weeks' tour by bus throughout the East. Miss Elizabeth Lichty, the Dean of Women, accompanied them. After two concerts in Detroit, the club toured through New York State. In addition to the concerts that they gave in several different churches in that state, they broadcast a radio pro- gram from WHEC in Rochester. After spending a day in New York City, the club went on to New Jersey, giving three recitals there. Concerts were also given on the return trip through New York The tour ended with a program in Cleveland, Ohio, on March 31. Since their return, the girls have sung several times, both in Holland and out of town. With their participation in the Spring Musical Concert they climaxed an exceptionally successful and eventful year.

MEN'S GLEE CLUB This organization of twenty voices under the leadership of Professor Kenneth Osborne proved to be one of the outstanding features on the campus. Al- though the club did not take a trip this year, it was very active in singing for social gatherings and various church meetings. At the beginning of the season, the group presented itself to the student body at one of the morning chapel services. Continuing their activities, the club furnished an entire musical program of sacred and secular numbers for the Holland Alumni Association Banquet. The group also furnished special music for services at Hope Reformed Church and Third Reformed Church. On May 1, the Men's Glee Club was presented in a joint concert with the Women's Glee Club and the Chapel Choir. The organization concluded a successful year by giving concerts in the vicinity of Holland.

SENIOR PLAY A change in Senior class policy concerning the annual dramatic production brought the acclaim of three audiences at the Holland Woman's Literary Club auditorium on April 26, 27, and 28. The Seniors, directed by Stanley Albers, a graduate of Hope, put on The Enemy ' a play by Channing Pollock requiring heavy dramatic acting by all members of the cast. The characters of this dramatic plea for peace were nine Seniors and Clyde Meredith, son of Rev. and Mrs. C. W. Meredith. They represented nice little people, whose lives were twisted and torn by the Great War. The action of the entire play starts in Vienna, Austria, before the declaration of war and ends after the treaty of peace which served to bridge, but not to patch, the four-year gap in all their lives. In addition to the director and those on the cast, the following deserve much credit for the play's success: Stage Manager...........................Henry Morgan Assistants - - - Harold Kleis, Heath Goodwin, John Wybenga, and Charles Olson Property Manager.......................Hester Soetors Assistants - - - George Hyma, Martin Timmer, Donald Weaver, and Orville Beattie Mistress of Robes......................Esther Bultman Prompters - - Mildred Kirkwood and Loraine Pomp Make-up Artists - Marguerite Bergen and Florence Meengs Sound Effects - - Cornelius Steketee and the Band Business Manager - Robert Wishmeier Business Staff - Robert Marcus and Willard De Groot Ticket Chairman .... Edward Hcnovold ( HO] LITTLE THEATRE Re-establishing a dramatic tradition started by Mrs. Durfee, the dramatics class, under the direction of Dr. Shackson, built a Little Theatre on the campus. Here they produced weekly plays for the benefit of members of the class and the entertainment of the student body. Tuesday meetings of the class resembled those of any other class, with text study and discussion the order of the day; but on Thursdays at the begin- ning of the year the thirteen girls and two men donned their oldest clothes and learned their stage craft by hanging a fine velvet curtain loaned to the college, building floodlights from gasoline tins, and building and painting scenery from materials bought through a contribution of a dollar from each member, collected by Treas- urer Marjorie Vyverberg. As soon as the Little Theatre, located in the Com- DR ROLLAND SHACKSON mons Room, was ready for productions, they followed in quick order, two being given each week. Each member of the class was given the opportunity to become a director, choosing his play and cast and supervising rehearsals. This practice and training v ill be specially helpful to those planning to teach drama and speech. The plays, in the order of their production, were Joint Owners in Spain, a tragicomedy of an old ladies' home; Forgotten Souls,” a Russian melodrama; Stuffed Owls, a satire on snobbery; Their Husband, a study on the causes of divorce; Enter the Hero, in which an imagined lover almost becomes real; Ever Young, with the varying reactions to old age; “China Pig, a story of self-sacrifice for others; Little Prison, in which a stalled elevator untangles several lives; and Where but in America? a study of our unique lack of class distinctions. The other plays were For Distin- guished Service, Handsome Is, Ann Comes to Her Senses, Faithful Ad- mirers, and The Poor House. ’n addition to plays produced for the class other dramatic opportunities were afforded by the Tulip Time Pageant, Tulip Tales, in which several class members took part; a demonstration of puppetry by Miss Fopma and her helpers at the Netherlands Museum; the presentation of a farce, Squaring it with the Boss, by Mr. Gray for the May Day banquet; and repetitions of Stuffed Owls and Joint Owners in Spain for the high school students pres- ent on Hope College Day, the American Legion Auxiliary, and other interested groups. It is hoped that next year similar requests can be filled by the Little Theatre group, making Hope serve a community interest in drama. Members of the group were as follows: Marguerite Bergen, Ardene Boven, Esther Bultman, Jacoba Dalebout, Nina Fopma, James Gray, James Hallan, Mildred Kirkwood, Ruth Knickel, Alice McClay, Mildred Mulder, Alice Munro, Anthonette Van Koevering, Mary Jane Vaupell, and Marjorie Vyverberg. [1111 ■ Athletics Se Milestone And great in number were the jousts and tournaments in which they strove together honestly. Fair did they ride upon the field bedecked with color. Well did they strive with spear and sword to win great glory and the hand of a fair lady. And to the sound of the mellow horn did they ride forth in glory to war or hunt. Front Row: G. Boynton. R.

ATHLETIC DEBT DIGGERS A.D.D. has done it again! This service organization composed of fifteen girls —a Sophomore, Junior, and Senior from each girls' society has again made enough from its sales at Hope's athletic contests not only to help the men's Board of Athletics, but also to finance the Women's Athletic Association. This record has been accomplished under the able and inspiring leadership of President Thelma Kooiker, who was largely responsible for the success the organization has received in selling hot-dogs, candy, and coffee at the autumn football games, and frostbites at the basketball contests during the winter. In June, at the annual A.D.D. banquet, five Freshmen were chosen to take the places of the retiring Seniors, and officers were elect- ed for the following year.

WOMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION During the second year of its existence, the Women's Athletic Association has increased its usefulness and successfully accomplished its purpose the furtherance of athletic activity among the women of the college. Generously financed by the A.D.D., the association has made it possible for most of the girls of the college to participate in one or all of the following sports: basketball, swimming, horse back riding, ping-pong, bowling, tennis, badminton, and golf. Among the chief events on the W.A.A. calendar for the year were: the intramural basketball tournament, the M.I.A A. Olympic Play- day at Kalamazoo, the girls' May Day track meet, and the tennis tournaments at Albion and Kalamazoo. The W.A.A. board, composed of four elected members, two faculty members, the director of physical education, and several appointed members, formu- lated during the year a point system for athletic participation. This system will make it possible for those competing in sports to receive appropriate awards. Another important addition to the W.A.A. program was the forma- tion of a hiking club with officers and regular meetings. Although still in its infancy, the Women's Athletic Association looks forward to a long and suc- cessful existence in its program of helping to develop the well-rounded college woman.

Although the team suffered from injuries during most of the season, they won four games, lost three, and tied the one with Kalamazoo. Starting the season with fourteen lettermen from last year's squad and a very light team, Hope conquered its first opponent, Ferris, in a night game 20-0. Hope scored in the first period, using just three plays for a touchdown with Brannock carrying the ball on a twenty-eight yard cut-back. The goal was missed. In the second period Marcus passed over the goal to Brannock for the score. But once again the goal was missed. For the third quarter touch- down, Hope recovered a Ferris fumble on its opponent's ten-yard line, and after two plays Vander Laan plunged over the goal. The kick was low. The last scoring was in the final period when Pape and Honholt dropped Le Seney behind the goal line for a safety. Hope met its first defeat 3-0 at the hands of Albion on our own field. In the first quarter Callahan of Albion drop-kicked a field goal from the eighteen- yard marker. The goal was the margin of victory. During the second half, Hope outplayed Albion and twice was within striking distance; but each time scoring plans were blasted. The third game of the season was Mth the strong and aggressive Grand Rapids Junior College team. Hope scored in all the periods to come out on [118] Hope Colle ge OOilestone top, 24-14. Twice in the first half the Junior outfit scored touchdowns with extra points, and each time Hope opened a powerful attack to retaliate with- out extra points. It took determined effort by Coach Hinga's football players to score two additional touchdowns in the second half. By doing this, they gained another victory over the junior college which has never beaten a Hope team during Coach Hinga's eight years here. On the first trip of the season, Hope found the extraordinary heat almost too much. The score was 7-0 at the half, after Den Herder scored in the second quarter on an off tackle play from the two-yard line. Marcus kicked the goal. In the second half Vander Laan passed 45 yards to Honholt for a touchdown. Pape kicked the extra point. Adrian scored when Clemment plunged over for a touchdown. In the fourth period Norlin tackled Roorke behind the goal line for a safety, and Vander Laan cut loose on a left end run for fifty yards and the final Hope touchdown. Alma was Hope's homecoming opponent, and our team went down, 13-7, Brannock being the only Hope man to score. Olson carried the ball over for Alma, and Matthews contributed the other touchdown by blocking a punt in the end zone. At Kalamazoo's homecoming, Hope was first to score v hen Brannock passed to Boyink. Pape kicked the extra point, and the score was 7-0 until the end of the third quarter. In the last period Tate took a pass from Spalsbury deep in Hope territory, and three plays later Dalla, the Kazoo fullback, took it over and also kicked the extra point. Vander Laan and Pape played excellent games; and the final outcome might have been in our favor if Marcus hadn't been injured early in the game. In their last home game of the season Hope College football players took Olivet into camp to the tune of 32-12. The last game on our schedule was played with the Hillsdale M I.A.A. Championship team of 1938. It was the worst defeat in eight years for Hope, the score being 33-0. Captain Willard De Groot, Robert Marcus, Paul Boyink, Denton Norlin, Robert Wishmeier, Jay Van Hoven, Cornie Pape, and lames Hallan played their final games for Hope College. This year Robert Powers and Robert Marcus won berths on the all-M.I.A.A. team, while Captain De Groot, Cornie Pape, and Lee Brannock were members of the second team.

The squad, however, tied with Albion and Kalamazoo and lost in the playoff for the second straight year. Due to a knee operation Heneveld was lost for most of the season. In the opening game of the season Hope easily defeated Muskegon Junior College by a score of 45-27. The second v in was over Ferris, the out- come being 55-18. The Dutchmen met their first defeat when they were bettered by Western State of Kalamazoo. After being behind most of the game, Hope made a desperate last minute rally to a 41-41 tie at the final gun, only to be beaten in the overtime pe- riod. Compensation for this defeat was gained at Ypsilanti, when Michigan Normal yielded to Hope by a score of 49-24. In the first conference game Hope demonstrated its intent to be in the title race by setting a new basketball scoring record for teams in the Michi- gan Intercollegiate Athletic Association with a 91-20 victory over Adrian. Following this record game, Hope beat Kalama- zoo in a thriller by taking last year's champions into camp with a 29-27 score. Against the next two opponents. Hillsdale and Olivet, the Hinga- HOWARD BECKSFORT Center LEE BRANNOCK Center WILLARD DE GROOT Guard [120] College CD ilestone men began their M.I.A.A. season in earnest, tak- ing each team by more than twenty points. The Dutch lost their first conference game to Al- bion. This was followed by victories over Alma and Michigan Normal. Against Ferris and Adrian the team again overwhelmed its opponents. The second defeat in the league was from Kala- mazoo. Although Hope was ahead at the half, the visiting team rallied in the final quarter to take the contest, 42-34. Hope won the remaining games on its schedule with victories over Hills- dale, Olivet, Albion, and Alma. The Albion game was one of the best of the season. After ending the regulation game with a tied score, Hope went ahead to win 46-43 in the extra period. The playoff among Albion, Kalamazoo, and Hope at the Western State gym was in the style of a round robin, each team playing each of its op- ponents two periods. After Albion had defeated Hope, Kazoo and Hope fought to a thrilling finish in which the former was victorious, 30-29, by vir- tue of a last second basket. The evening was cli- maxed by another tight fray betv een Albion and Kalamazoo, which was finally won by the latter five by the same score and under similar circum- stances to those of the game in which Hope was eliminated. The scoring this season was marked by the num- ROBERT MARCUS Guard EDWARD HENEVELD Center KENNETH HON HOLT Forward RAYMOND LOKERS Forward [121] i K rs DONALD WEAVER Manager ber of different team members who took high honors in the individual games of the schedule. This is shown in the fact that Hope placed six men among the league's thirteen highest scorers.

After the usual late start the men finally rounded into a well-playing team. Most of the players have come from high schools in which they were active in sports. This year there was an exceptional amount of good material, so that every posi- tion was adequately filled, and each player had to fight to retain his position. Substitutions were made quite freely in the regular games. Of the four games played, the team won three and lost one. They beat the Kalamazoo Frosh, Albion Freshmen, and the yearlings from Grand Rapids Junior College. The only contest that they lost was won by the Alma Fresh- men, who had one of the most outstanding teams in the state. This record was very good, and Hope's Freshmen deserve a lot of credit for their fine showing. Next year many of these boys will be valu- able material for the varsity team. Their presence should give the team its much needed reserve strength, and help carry Hope to victory. [123) Front Row: E. Morgan. K. Vandcn Berg. B. Salisbury. N. Rowan. J. Zagers. J. Hietbrink. T.

FRESHMAN BASKETBALL The Freshmen, under the tutelage of Coach lack Schouten, had another very successful season. They played outstanding ball on the Armory floor, and of nine games, the team lost only two. In their first three games they beat the two outstanding fraternity teams on the campus, the Fraternals and the Cosmopolitans, only to lose the third to the Sophomores by one point. This team was composed of men who played on the Freshman team of last year. Adrian was the next victim, and their Freshmen were defeated 63-31 on the Armory court, after coming here with a reputation of being one of the outstanding squads in the state. Kalamazoo Freshmen were defeated by the score of 33-16. Grand Rapids Catholic Junior College was taken into camp, the score being 36-17. In their second and last defeat of the season, the Frosh were beaten by one field goal by Albion, the score standing at 23-25. The teams played quite evenly throughout the contest, and the game was not decided until the last few minutes. Kalamazoo was again defeated, and in the final game of the season, the team got revenge by defeating Albion 32-23. Scoring honors of the year went to Visser and Cimock, who were tied in their total points. The other members of the team were Arndt, Formsma, Hietbrink Morgan, Rowan, Salisbury, Slager, Tappan, Vanden Berg, Van Ommen, Van Wieren, and Zagers. (124] From Row : P. F.Izcrman. M. Timmcr. R.

INTERFRATERNITY BASKETBALL Again this past season the campus fraternities engaged in some good hearted but torrid competition on the well worn boards of Carnegie. Paul Boyink, the Fraternal coach, used his veteran material to sweep through an undefeated season for the second consecutive time to annex the coveted interfraternity trophy. Martin Timmer, the Fraternal captain, was bolstered ably by his two other Senior classmates, Don Weaver at center and Gordon Pleune at forward. The Frater team worked together remarkably well this year in some fine passing and scoring, and the season is looked upon as one of Fraternals' most successful. Only once, early in the season, were the Fraters beaten; and then it was at the hands of one of the strongest Freshman teams in years in a keenly fought contest. A strong Cosmopolitan team and a fighting Emersonian five contributed to the interest of the tournament and v ound up in second and third place respectively. The Inde- pendents and Knickerbockers completed the league roster. (125 ] From Row: William Tappan, George Pelgrim. Prof. E. P. McEcan. Paul Boyink. Second Row : Dr. B. Raymond, Dr. O. Vandcr Velde. BOARD OF ATHLETICS The Board in Control of Athletics is the body that makes all the preliminary arrangements necessary to a successful athletic season. It is this board which grants letters and awards to athletes on the recommendation of the various coaches when the season is completed. The Hope board is composed of two alumni. Dr. O. Vander Velde and Mr. G. Pelgrim, two members of the faculty. Dr. B. Raymond and Prof. E. P. McLean, and one student. For the past three years Paul Boyink has been the student representative; William Tappan was appointed to take his place for the next three years. In addition to their governing work in con- nection with local athletics, two of the group, the student member and one of the faculty members, are designated as direc- tors on the Board of the Michigan Inter- collegiate Athletic Association.

VARSITY TRACK Although ineligibility and graduation took quite a toll of Hope’s veteran thin- clads, yet the returning men and some fleet greenhorns, under the able coach- ing of Jack Schouten, showed off to advantage in the three meets of this year. On April 26 the track team travelled to Kalamazoo for a triangular meet, com- peting against Hillsdale and Kazoo. Although rating last in the final score, Hope turned in some good records and discovered some ability among the new men. Zoutendam, Hallan, Bruggers, Vander Woude, and Verburg in the distances, June in the hurdles; Brannock and Dibble in the dashes; and Elen- baas in the jumping events, performed especially well. The next meet was at Albion on May 6. Here the Briton's exceptionally strong team proved too powerful for Hope's aggregation. Brannock, Verburg, Vander Woude, and Zoutendam stood out for the Orange and Blue. After a three week period of rest and training, the thin-clads entered the all- important M I.A.A. meet at Grand Rapids on May 26. Considering the lack of material this year, the results there were very favorable. The outstanding figure on the track this year was Robert Ferris, as this versa- tile Freshman carried Hope's colors almost single-handed in the Frosh meets at Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids and was high point man in the interfraternity contest on May Day. The varsity men were not allowed to compete in the latter event, thus affording the school a chance to discover new talent for next year's team. (128J Front Row: D. Poppcn. A. Joldcrsrru, G. Plcunc.

These men, Pleune, Boyink, De Groot, and Joldersma, were supported by Lampen and Poppen, upperclassmen, and Vegter and Menges, two able Sophomores. The team was hindered by unfavorable weather conditions and v as unable to have any active practice before the season opened. Because of this the team developed very slowly. Nevertheless, it turned in a creditable perform- ance during the course of the spring tournaments. The season was shorter this year than previously since Hope had the oppor- tunity of meeting each M.I.A.A. school only once. The climax of the season was the M.I.A.A. tournament held in Grand Rapids. The team was not a strong contender for the league championship, but it made an excellent show- ing in the fight for second place. The aim of the sport has not been merely to provide league competition for the members of the team, but to increase the interest of both the men and the women of the campus in tennis. It is hoped that many more of the students will actively participate in this spring sport. The college has excellent courts and anticipates an increasing student interest in tennis. [129] Coach M. Hinga. K. Hon holt. T. Rcutcrdahl, R. Mucus, K. Dykstra, A. Slikkcrs. GOLF With the entrance of the golf season Coach Hinga started practice as soon as the weather permitted. The outlook for the season was very bright with three lettermen returning from the team which placed second in the tournament last year. Marcus, Slikkers, and Heneveld were the veterans, and. in addition to them, Reuterdahl, Dykstra, and Honholt were on the varsity golf team. Marcus, who was one of the leaders in the league competition of the previous year, led the squad. Slikkers played the number two position, with the other four men fighting it out for the other two positions. The season consisted of a schedule of seven matches, most of which were held with other M.I.A.A. colleges. Grand Rapids junior College was the only out- side team to be scheduled, and they were played twice. To close the season all of the teams of the conferences competed on two successive days in Grand Rapids at the annual M.I.A.A. Field Day. [130] CD ilesTone Front Row: I). Poppcn. F. Flanagan. R.

This society is composed entirely of men who are interested in athletics and have won a varsity award either on the gridiron, the basketball floor, the track, the fairway, or the tennis court. The club attempts to further athletic interest by persuading men to participate in sports and by drawing from the high schools those athletes who will bring glory to their Alma Mater in future years. These new men are sought not only for prowess in sports but also for the other contributions they may be expected to make during their college career. Hope is proud of the men in the ”H Club and is thankful for the prestige that men of the Orange and Blue have captured for her. In the future the club hopes to main- tain the past records of formor athletic teams.

Item: Our tired chorus of I'm so worn-out—I've got so much to do—Thank heaven for va- cation. . . Item: Our sorority teas and fraternity get-togeth- ers, the Christmas meetings of the W.A.L., Alcor, Gorman, French, and other clubs for which most of us were responsible. . . . Item: The huge stacks of books with which we vacationed in hopes of catching up on outside reading, studying, and term pa- pers—and which met the same fate as they have in the last three years. . . . Item: A few weeks of cold weather, a few flakes of snow, and just a few things done to re- call in other long winter evenings. . . . Jean Hoekje CHURCHES THIRD REFORMED CHURCH Rev. Wm.

DECORATOR RAY HOEK, Decorator (134) January 31, 1939 Dear January: Old Father Time has just creaked around an- other bender (I mean corner) and the kid in the three cornered pants has toddled into the lime- light. Well son. Old 1938 went out with a bang- up time lor six Easterners who struck oil during vacation, but there was a little matter of a truck involved in the wreck too. . . . Hope set a new scoring record when they netted 91 points on the hardwoods. Adrian must have played, too, because there wasn't room for them in the bleachers. Crowdsl 1 put my hand in the pocket of the man behind me and blew the nose of the man in front of me. . . . Crowds! I'll say. The Frosh girls won the Nykerk Contest and the Sophs thought the greenclads had a puli'’ with the judges. Too bad, the fellows of '41 couldn't have used the judges in their pull too. . . . January closes with some students whipping a little Horse into shape for the Finals . . . others just horsing around . . . while Roosevelt tries to stabilize the country we'll hoof along to Febru- ary. Au rcvoir. Buzz Poppen Dear Jim: February 26, 1939 I certainly am being kidded about getting stranded in East Lansing after our debate trip. Thank all the fellows for the way they enter- tained us. Everyone up here is sick with the flu, and the girls' dorm is one grand infirmary. Remember that tall fellow who calls everyone stinky ? He's the new editor of our school paper, and there certainly is some news. A Junior girl just eloped from the dorm by crawling through a window at mid-night and then got married in Indiana. Ted Cimok, a Freshman, picked up a purse with $5000 in it in front of the bank, and just then a car drove up and a fellow snatched it. I sure wish I could have had that purse and been able to run like Bud Ferris. So long! See you in that pearl of the Antilles , the metropolis of the north—Fremont!

Our regular basketball season ended in a three-way tie for the championship. So there was the round-robin tournament in Western State gym at Kazoo. We didn't do quite as well as wo expected, but it surely was a lot of fun anyhow. Bob Vandenberg was outstand- ing, scoring 20 points during the evening. And Bob Marcus and Lee Brannock have been chosen on the M.I.A.A. first team. Then too, we seem to have made the Student Commons a future reality by putting on a golf drive and another drive among the societies The Blue Key has also pledged its help. These are only a few of the things that have been happening, but I must hurry to class. So long. Bill De Groot Dear Diary: April 29, 1939 Here it is the end of April and what with two (?) Glory Daze, no tears were lost, except at the Senior play, and what girl could sit calmly through the dramatic scenes of The Enemy as portrayed by Trudic Young and Gordon Pleune7 Carl had to desert me before the last act to take a flash for the Milestone , but as Bob Powers said when he was being razzed about Betty Daugherty at the Freshman Trial, “It's worth it) Johnnie Olert told me that it was the first Senior play to make money in ten years, but with Bob Wishmeier at the business end- LAUNDERERS AND DRY CLEANERS MODEL LAUNDRY — LAUNDERERS Odorless Dry Cleaners 97 E. 8th St. Phone 3625 THE WEST MICHIGAN LAUNDRY IDEAL DRY CLEANERS 148 College Ave.—Phone 2465 LUMBER COMPANIES BOLHUIS LUMBER AND MFG.

J. KLAASEN PRINTING CO. (136) Dear Marge: May 31. 1939 V hat a month we've just lived! I can see you reminiscing over May of '38. especially when 1 tell you about May Day. The Frosh airls simply walked off with the track honors, and the Fraters were the victors in the Interfraternity Track and Golf Meet. And then came the Coronation! Prime Minister Bill De Groot had practiced bows and backing down the throne steps for a week. Queen Gertrude and Queen Martha looked lovely, especially with the new rhinestone coronet. The twelfth was a big day on the campus. It was Hope College Day for Juniors and Seniors from neighboring high schools. As a result we Voorheesites cleaned our rooms twice that week, having just cleaned them a couple of days be- fore for the Voorhees Day Tea. And then the girls went and did it again! The Hope girls took first place in the M I.A A Wom- en's Tennis Tournament. I'm convinced May is the busiest time of the year, what with a couple of formal dinners at the Dorm, beach parties, and Tulip Time. Sincerely, Millie Mulder PROFESSIONAL M. E. HOUSE, M.D. GABRIEL D.
