When this landmark is gone, Van Vleck Hall will be the last reminder of the original Hope College which was founded by Dr. A. C. Van Raalte, leader of the Holland colony, in 1861. But no, one thing more stands. It is the noble idealism which was in the mind of the old patriarch as he labored indefatiguably for the realization of his dream. Dr. Van Raalte believed firmly in higher education. But also he saw clearly what many educators are just beginning to realize today. He saw that formal learning without a goal is an empty shell, that acquired knowledge is meaningless until it has a center or focal point from which to take its meaning, and that the highest center is God. The consequence of this prophetic vision was the establishment of a Christian college. Today Hope College still clings to Dr. Van Raalte's vision. The cross on the towering spires of the Memorial Chapel symbolizes her steadfastness in the faith. Her purpose of sending out into the world Christian leaders in every field of endeavor remains un- changed. Therefore in this sobering year of international strife, when all motives are silhouetted clearly against a background of imminent peril, we, the class of nineteen forty-three dedicate the 1942 MILESTONE to the Christian ideals of our college.

He was a student on this campus, and holds an A.B. from Hope, and A.M. from the University of Michigan, and a Litt.D. from Rutgers University. He is a Knight of the Order of Orange Nassau, a distinction conferred by the Queen of the Nether- lands. He taught history on the campus for many years, went into business for a time, and was then called back to the college to serve as its president, in 1931. Under Dr. Wichers, the college has expanded in many directions. It has achieved a position on the fully approved list of the American Association of Universities, the highest accrediting distinction 8 awarded colleges and universities. Only two other liberal arts colleges in the state enjoy that rating. The college has added the business administration department and a personnel service. The library staff has been enlarged, and the facilities of the library greatly improved. During a period when many small colleges were forced to close, Hope Col- lege has maintained its financial status largely through Dr. Wichers' efforts. Next fall will see the ultimate materialization of another of his dreams for the school-a separate building to house the science department of which the school is so proud. The new science building has been completed, and will be equipped by next fall when it will be opened for use. DR. WICHERS, WHO SAYS TO ALL STUDENTS , MMW5 W WMEJ'-ffl?

JUW' ' w-01 ,M L ' ' PM S WKJ DR WICHERS HAS ABLE ASSISTANTS IN THOMAS E. WELMERS . . . Who is registrar of the college. Professor Welmers is a graduate of Hope College and Princeton Theological Seminary. Besides his duties as Registrar he holds the Voorhees chair in Greek and teaches Calvinism. Each year, on Thanksgiving Day, all members of his classes who cannot go home for the recess are invited to his house where they enjoy a lavish meal. Among his many accom- plishments is playing the organ. As a reminder of the days when he played for a Grand Rapids church fReformed, of coursej he may frequently be heard humming Power In The Blood while going about his duties. PAUL BROUWER . . . Who is Assistant to the President and Personnel Agent of Hope College, and knows almost every student personally. Mr. Brouwer holds an A.B. from Hope and an A.M. from Northwestern Uni- versity. He was given a leave of absence during the first semester in order to do special work at Chicago University. The enormous popularity of his freshman English composition class may be due partly to the fact that his business trips often give the students fl short vacation. Many students visit his office for personal advice. He has as much to do as anyone on the campus, and does it. MILDRED SCHUPPERT . . . Who is Secretary to the President. Miss Schuppert is also a gradu- ate of Hope College. She is organist at the Central Park Reformed Church and secretary to the Hope Alumni Association. Students find her sympathetic and understanding in making arrangements for tuition fees. For that reason, many wish that she handled chapel absences. In her official capacity as Notary Public, she was called upon this year to notarize a contract among five students. By the terms of said contract, the first four students to marry must pay the last fugitive from a mother-in-law live dollars. ELIZABETH LICHTY . . . Who is Dean of Women. Miss Lichty has an A.B. from Lake Forest College and an A.M. and Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin. An instructor in French, she is co-sponsor of the French club. Hers is the thankless task of keeping order in a dormitory filled with upwards of eighty coeds. Male students who envy her position should remember the trouble that just one girl can cause, and multiply by 80. The job doesn't look so attractive now, does it fellows? Her capability is indicated by the fact that she is a past president of the Michigan Association of Deans of Women and Counsellors of Girls. HOPE COLLEGE IS ADMINISTRATED BY: First Row: Dr. C. H. Spaan, Dr. W. Wichers, Mrs. I. W. Beardslee. Mr. H. M. Liesveld, Dr. -I. A. Dykstra, Rev. H. W. Pyle, Mr. H. Winter. Mr. H. Kloes. Second Row: Mr. M. Den Herder, Rev. j. J. Vander Schaaf, Rev. R. Meengs, Rev. F. Snuttjer, Mr. -I. Kolyn, Mr. P. H. Friesma. Third Row: Mr. M. A. Chapman, Rev. W. Denekas, Mr. R. Verseput, Rev. B. R. Van Zyl, Rev. R. A. De -long, Mr. H. G. Schalekamp, Rev. I. Van Westenburg. Fourth Row: Dr. A. De Young, Rev. j. A. Stegeman, Mr. J. N. Dykema, Rev. 1. A. Vis, Rev. G. Doctor, Hon. F. B. Sanford. BOARD OF TRUSTEES According to the by-laws of Hope College, the Board of Trustees shall meet twice each year-on the last Wednesday in April, and again on the Tues- day preceding commencement in june. This year the accelerated program put commencement two weeks ahead of its usual date. That fact, coupled with transportation difficulties, influenced the board to waive the April meeting. Because the board did not meet until June, THE MILESTONE was unable to have a picture taken in time for publication. The picture used here was taken last year. Since then there have been some changes in per- sonnel. The terms of the following have expired: Mr. H. Winter, Mr. T. Hager, Rev. N. Cloo, Rev. G. Hankamp, Rev. Vander Schaaf, Mr. Kolyn, Mr. M. Den Herder, Rev. J. Prins, Mr. H. Friesema, and Rev. A. De Young. Mr. Hager, Mr. Kolyn, Mr. Den Herder, Rev. Prins, Mr. Friesema, and Rev. De Young have been reelected. Newly elected are Miss J. M. Hopeman, Rev. P. Koopman, and Rev. A. Van Bronkhorst. This group has two principle aims: to provide students with the best possible instruction, and to effect a Christian influence upon them which they will carry throughout life, and which will carry them through life. The board, though in no way adherent to the be- liefs of Mary Baker Eddy, has long been proud of the Christian scientists Hope College produces. This September the science department will move out of Van Raalte Hall-badly lacking in adequate labora- tory space-and into the new Science Building, tak- ing along the fumes which have long assailed the aesthetic nostrils of the English department. The new building will be fit quarters for the science de- partment which is well known over the country. This building is the culmination of a great deal of effort on the part of the trustees who may be justly proud of their success. The board works with the student in mind. It does its best to make available to him first-rate instruction in all fields, and through its efforts the curriculum shows steady improvement from year to year. Evi- dence of the board's success along this line is seen in the academic standing of the school--fully accredited by the North Central Association of Schools and Colleges, by the University of Michigan, and by the Association of American universities. ll BASIC TO ANY CAREER IS ENGLISH STUDY. XVell-qualined instructors in the English depart- ment teach courses in composition, poetry, drama and novel, Greek and Roman literature, Shakespeare, Tennyson, Browning and Milton, and English survey and methods, to about sixty English majors and minors. The chairmanship of the department is held by Clarence De Graaf, A.B. Calvin College, A.M. Uni- versity of Michigan. He is a big man on campus, being faculty adviser to the MILESTONE and busi- ness adviser to the ANCHOR. james H. XX'arner, A.B. University of Indiana, A.M. Northwestern University, Ph.D. Duke Univer- sity, is chairman of the language and literature sec- tion of the Michigan Academy. On campus he advises the English Majors. New at Hope, Elizabeth Oggel, B.A. Morningside I2 College, M.A. University of Iowa, participates in the local chapter of the A. A. U. W. and is a member of the VUoman's Literary Club. Margaret L. Gibbs, A.B. Ripon College, A.B.L.S. University of Illinois, is librarian and teaches library science. Elizabeth Faye Connor, A.B. Huntington College, A.M., A.B.L.S. University of Michigan, is assistant librarian. Miss Gibbs is faculty adviser to the Y. W. and a member of the Woman's Literary Club and the A. A. U. W. Miss Conner is an A. A. U. W. member and writes junior Sunday School quarterlies. The head of speech work is William Schrier, A.B. and A.M. University of Michigan, graduate work at Colorado, Southern California and Northwestern. The department made an enviable record in oratory, extemp, and debate this year. FUTURE TEACHERS GET PRACTICE WORK. To prepare college students for teaching in the elementary and secondary schools is the function of the education department. So courses in educational psychology, principles, and methods are offered to Hope students, by which they may fulfill require- ments for certification by the Michigan Board. The required amount of practice teaching is done in the fine school system of Holland under an efficient staff of critic teachers. Director of the department, Professor Egbert Winter, A.B. Hope, A.M. University of Michigan, is interested in psychology, fascinated by the study of twins, having reared two pairs himself. He is assisted by the director of practice teaching, Garrett Vander Borgh, A.B. Hope, A.M. Columbia University, under whose instruction students learn the problems and methods of high school teaching. Mr. Vander Borgh serves the ANCHOR as faculty business adviser, profs in the math Held too. The instructor in elementary education is Caroline Hawes, A.B. Northern State Normal College. She is the superintendent of the city elementary system and the principal of Washington School, making her schedule rather full, but she handles it well and efficiently. Prospective elementary teachers enjoy the observations in the local schools. The department of education fits students with the background material and experience which will serve them well when they become educators, wheth- er it be as kindergarten teachers or university profs. The department is a prominent one here, because of each graduating class, almost fifty per cent of the seniors have prepared themselves at Hope for the teaching profession. 13 HISTORY STUDY IS POPULAR IN WAR TIME. I . V . A fs JI j ll X 'kt A diversified number of subjects is offered in the department of history and social science, for there are courses in ancient, European, and American his- tory, in cultural history, in government, constitu- tional history, political parties and politics, in inter- national relations, and in history methods. Majoring in the department this year are seventeen junior and senior students, and there are many more history minors. Bruce M. Raymond, the department head, earned his A.B., A.M., and Ph.D. at the University of Nebraska. Actively interested in politics, he holds a position as city alderman and a place on the coun- cil of civilian defense. On campus he acts as Blue Key adviser, chairman of faculty committee on ath- letics, and faculty representative to the M. I. A. A. Board of Directors. He is a member of Pi Kappa Delta and of Phi Delta Kappa, national forensic H fraternities, and of the Rotary Club and the Century Club. Metta Ross, vitally interested in current affairs and the pan-American nations, is instructor in cul- tural history courses. Her B.A. is from Hope, her M.A. from the University of Michigan, and she has spent summers in study at the University of Wiscon- sin and at the University of Chicago. Her campus interests are in oratorical and dramatic lines, and she acts as adviser to Palette and Masque and to the XY'omen's Athletic Association. Students enjoy her lectures on current events. A faculty member whose interest is in young people's work is history instructor and director of athletics, Milton L. Hinga, A.B. Kalamazoo and M.A. Columbia University. He is adviser to Blue Key, and a member of the Holland Exchange Club. MIND AND SOUL GAIN ATTENTION AT HOPE. Because Hope is a Christian college, special efforts are made to inculcate in all students a thorough knowledge of the Bible and high standards of Chris- tian principles and ethics. Therefore study in Bible and Christian ethics is required of every student en- tering the college. Rev. Henry Bast occupies the chair of Bible, serves as college pastor. He is professor of Bible and re- ligion, having his A.B. from Hope, B.D. from West- ern Theological Seminary, and having studied at the University of Chicago. He is thoroughly interested in all Christian work, as is shown on campus by his advisership to the Y. M. C. A. and to Alpha Chi. Head of the department of religious education is Paul E. Hinkamp, professor of religion, A.B. Hope, B.D. McCormick Theological Seminary, who also studied at Princeton Theological Seminary, Princeton University, and the University of Chicago. The Goodfellows claim him as an officer, the Exchange Club as a member, and the American Schools of Oriental Research as an associate member. Since Walter Van Saun, A.B. Otterbein College, B.D. Bonebrake Seminary, A.M. and Ph.D. Univer- sity of Cincinnati, came to Hope in 1929, courses in logic, theism, Plato, contemporary philosophy, phi- losophy of religion, Christian ethics, American philosophy and philosophy of art have been added to what was formerly a division of the Bible depart- ment, and the philosophy section has become a department in its own right.

Bern's A.B. is from Hope, and he studied for two years at Harvard Business School. In town he holds the position as clerk of the local draft board. HOPE HAS A NOTED SCIENCE DEPARTMENT. The science departments of Hope College have long been outstanding, and ex-Hopeites are in re- sponsible positions in the field of research, surgery, in industrial chemistry work, or as teachers of science in the outstanding schools of the country, such as Chicago, Dartmouth, Carnegie Institute, Rush Medi- cal, Illinois, Michigan and Washington. Others serve in large industrial plants,-Goodyear, Sherwin- Williams, or Carnegie Steel. The department files list an endless number of such men. Gerrit Van Zyl, A.B. Hope, M.S. and Ph.D. Uni- versity of Michigan, heads the chemistry section of the college. He is also very active in scientific work outside of school, being a member of the American Chemical Society and other fraternal and honorary organizations. He participates in the local Profes- sional Club. He and his associate, Harvey Klein- heksel, A.B. Hope, M.S. and Ph.D. University of Illinois, are masters at turning out successful chem- ists. Dr. Kleinheksel is a faculty member of Blue Key, adviser to the interfraternity council. Together the two sponsor the Chemistry Club. Twenty-one of this year's grads and twenty-two of next year's are chem majors. Heading the physics division is Clarence Kleis, A.B. Hope, A.M. University of Michigan. He is chairman of the faculty committee on N. Y. A. Off campus he is a Bible Class teacher. Albert E. Lampen, A.B. Hope, A.M.

He is president of the Holland Exchange Club, director of the Community Chest, and a member of the Mathematics Association of America. I7 BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES ALSO OFFER CAREERS. If lj af I lv , 1 l I 3 PX The division of biology has made a record fully as outstanding as that of the other sections of the science department. Thirty per cent of the grads in the science division continue their study after gradu- ation, aspiring to high goals in the science Held. Chairman of the section is solemn Oscar E. Thompson. His S.B. is from Mount Union College, his A.M. from Cornell University, and he has spent four summers in study at Cornell. He teaches courses in anatomy, embryology, and the like, to future scien- tists, teachers, and doctors. His students know him and like him for his dry sort of humor. Out of school Thompson is an avid gardener, and very scientific about it, studying soils in detail. He and his associate, Dr. Vergeer, advise the recently organ- ized Scalpel Club. Teunis Vergeer, A.B. Calvin College, M.S. and I8 Ph.D. University of Michigan, is professor of biology and curator of the museum, is well-liked by all the student body.

On campus he serves with Dr. Thompson as co-adviser to the Scalpel Club and sponsors the First Aid class of the American Red Cross. Fifteen majors in the department this year are going on to other institutions or to take up science positions. The department has sent on the road to success a fine corps of physicians and surgeons, many nurses and dentists, biology profs, research biologists, and public health workers. THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT IS EVER GROWING. Hope's department of music offers courses in his- tory and theory of music, counterpoint, piano, voice, and organ, all under well-qualified instructors. Heading the department is Mrs. W. Curtis Snow. A.B. Hope College, graduate of Morningside Con- servatory of Music, who, besides being organist and instructor in piano and organ, directs the girls' glee club, coaches the girls' sextette, and holds down I1 position as church organist and music director.

His A.B. is from the University of Wisconsin, his B.M. and Mus.M. from the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago. He wields the baton for the chapel choir, the men's glee club, and the civic chorus in its annual presentation of the Messiah in December, and directs a local church choir. He has always been active in musical lines, taking leads in University of Wisconsin musicals and making concert appearances. James T. Mearns, B.M. Oberlin Conservatory of Music, is conductor of band and orchestra, instructor in piano, theory, and public school music. He pro- duces the organ tones in St. Mark's Episcopal Church, Grand Rapids. One of the finest pianists in the city, and an in- structor in the department is Mrs. Harold Karsten, American Conservatory of Music, teacher of piano. Hope's music department is still in the process of building, but we find it progressing at quite a rate toward its goal. Although there are few music majors, there are many students minoring in this phase of work and others who take music courses purely for enjoyment. 'Q' ,451 tv. ,. 19 LANGUAGES ARE CULTURAL AND PRACTICAL. Languages hold an important place in the curricu- lar life of the college, not only because two years' study of a language is a requirement, but because languages constitute an important study-field here for prospective teachers. Heading the French department is Elizabeth E. Lichty, A.B. Lake Forest, Ph.D. University of Wis- consin, who is also Dean of Women. On campus she sponsors the French Club and is the faculty adviser to the Women's Activities League board. Off campus she is a member of the Century Club, Wom- an's Literary Club, and the A. A. U. W. Teaching beginning and second year French is a concert enthusiast, the lively Mrs. Peter N. Prins, A.B. Hope, A.M. University of Wisconsin. She spent one summer in study at the University of Besancon, France. She is co-adviser to the French Club. 20 The German division is headed by Laura A. Boyd, A.B. Tarkio College, A.M. Missouri State University. She spent summers in study at Colorado, Wisconsin, and 'Jena-Weimar, Germany. The positions of campus social chairman and adviser to the Deutsche Verein make her life a busy one. Assisting her is Edward Wolters, A.B. Hope, A.M. University of Michigan, an outdoor man, being a hunting, fishing, and gardening enthusiast. The Rodman Memorial Professor of Latin is Albert H. Timmer, A.B. Hope, A.M. University of Michigan, and candidate for a Ph.D. at Northwest- ern. He is head of the cooperative study at Hope, a golf addict outside of school. Thomas E. Welmers is Voorhees professor of Greek and professor of Dutch. His degrees are A.B. Hope, B.D. Princeton Theological Seminary, and he studied at Berlin University in 1907-1908. PHYSICAL EDUCATION FORMS SOUND BODIES. The physical education section covers a broad area of activities, involving the filling of a requirement of seventy-two clock hours of gym work for all fellows and coeds, and additional sports activities for the many who participate. john Schouten, who is Jack to faculty and stu- dents alike, has been here on full time since 1920, although he coached and trained Hope men before that. jack spent summers in study at Illinois, Wis- ,consin, Michigan, and Notre Dame, and has partici- pated in all sports since the year one, and that includes jockeying! Jack's hobbies are music, sports, young people, and especially the latter. For he finds work with them fascinating, self-satisfying. He likes to train them and keep them physically fit, to help prepare their attitudes for a happier life. That's why he likes to try to relate his experiences to those of his students, as he often does. Kindly, genial Jack has a big following of friends. Mrs. Schouten assists when it comes to chaperoning joint meetings and parties. Besides tending to students' aches and sprains, Jack does work for the clientele of local doctors. Besides taking charge of the boys' gym classes, coaching them in football, basketball, baseball, track, bowling, riding, swimming, softball and tennis, and teaching the girls' classes basketball, softball, volley- ball, tennis, archery, riding, bowling, swimming, calithenics and apparatus work, Jack has taken on two new courses in gym methods for those upper- class fellows and coeds who wish to be qualified as physical education teachers and coaches after gradu- ation. The school and students owe a debt to Jack which can only be measured in terms of life. 21 ENGLISH DEPARTMENT JAIVIES H. WARNER CLARENCE DE GRAAF ELIZABETH OGGEI. Ph.D..

SCHOUTEN Director of Physical Education WE MOURN THE LOSS OE A FELLOW STUDENT. On Saturday evening, February 21, Lawrence Kolean, freshman, was fatally injured in an auto- mobile accident. At the age of nineteen, he was denied the years for which he was then preparing. Lawrence was born in Holland on May 12, 1922. He was graduated from Holland High School in 1940. After one year, he entered the college in the fall of 1941. His life stretched out ahead of him, giving all the promise that every life gives. He was one of a world-wide group undergoing training pre- paratory to making its individual contributions to the world. 26 Lawrence Kolean was a quiet boy. His professors noticed a cooperative spirit and sincere nature. All who knew him liked him, because he was one who instinctively inspired a confidence in his good faith. That is a quality too few possess. We don't know why, after only 19 years, a period of some fifty or sixty years was taken from him. But we do know there is a good reason he was made. on February 21, to open his eyes on a new world- a world which, for some reason, needed him more than this one. WE SALUTE OUR MEN IN NATIONAL SERVICE. Without doubt, the single factor which, more than any other, affected the campus this year, was the war and the draft. At the beginning of the year. the summer's toll taken by the draft was evident, but after Pearl Harbor the number being called to the armed forces rose markedly. Lacking definite statistics, the college ofhce estimates conservatively that there has been at least a ten per cent drop in enrollment since school began in September. The drop in enrollment is only one effect of mili- tary training upon the school. In order to allow students just out of high school to complete their college course before entering the service, Hope has adopted an accelerated program which will enable a student to get a normal four years' load in three years. This accelerated program is optional with the student. The machinery of the accelerated course is not complicated. Average students taking it carry two or three hours over the normal load each semes- ter, and can take additional work, up to eight semes- ter hours, during the summer. During the summer session, a ground course in civilian pilot training will be offered. The effect of the war on student life has been very marked. Fraternity and Sorority parties remain, but have been drastically cut in order that Hope College may cooperate in the national effort toward economy. While the campus retains its traditional vitality, there is, underneath, a more serious tone caused by the realization that we all have a job to do. . . . The picture on this page shows Whitey Riemersma, formerly of the class of '43, going through advanced combat training. All students will ultimately participate in some way-some at home, some away from home. They are anxious to do so. 27 THESE SENIORS LEAVE US IN JUNE AFTER The graduation of a class is invariably accom- panied by regret-both on the part of those who go and those who see them go. That is as it should be. A college whose seniors experience no nostalgia at graduation must be failing utterly in its duty outside the curriculum. But the college is the student. If the college fails it is because the student has failed. If the college has succeeded, it is because the student has given to it unstintingly of his time, talent, and devotion. The graduation of a class which has given itself to the school should be an occasion for joy, for it is the evidence of an addition to the school- an addition which will become part of the school and of the student who is the school. Such a class is the class of '42, Athletes had a high record in sportsmanship and ability. Three men were placed on all-conference teams: Bill Tappan, John Visser, Marty Bekken. In 28 OFFICERS President ....... john Visser Vice President ..... james Baal' Secretary . . . . Jeanne Swart Treasurer . . . Dorothy Bonga all sports it had representatives in the front rank. Forensically the class has been outstanding. It claims Nola Nies, state runner-up and national Pi Kappa Delta champion in oratoryg Jeanette Rylaars- dam, state extempore championg Gordon Girod, who heartily agrees with Prof. Schrier's title for him Star of the debate squad, national Pi Kappa Delta extempore runner-upg john Hains, Provincial Pi Kappa Delta oratory winnerg Blase Levai, state peace oration winner, and three members of the state championship debate team. There were four students with a scholastic average above 2.9. It is impossible to list all who have con- tributed to the class' success. There are musicians, Who's Who members, Blue Key, Alcor, and many others. The school is richer for their stay, and will watch their future progress with pride.

XVhen the class of '45 took its freshman entrance exams three years ago, its potentialities at once be- came evident. The average grade of each exam was much higher than usual, and far above the national average. Since then, the junior class has acquired the dubious distinction of being the smallest in the school: but, as the above indicates, what it lacks in quantity it makes up in quality. The class is characterized by an encouraging pro- gressive attitude which upon occasion assumes star- tling proportions. Two science students, impatient to move into the new science building, have tried Eve times to burn down Van Raalte Hall. These attempts occurred in the chemistry lab. On 'one occa- sion, one of them had flames leaping to the ceiling. His plan was foiled when a student trained a fire- extinguisher on the blaze. By pumping the empty extinguisher furiously, the student was able to blow 46 OFFICERS President . . . . Milton Verburg . Earl De Witt . jean Ruiter Vice President . . Secretary-Treasurer out the fire with the stream of air thus emitted. As one would expect, the juniors, handicapped by lack of numbers, have fewer participants in most fields than the other classes. But its members, though few, are standouts. This year's state oratory cham- pion, a debate team beaten only once in eleven debates over two years at the Manchester debate tourney-biggest in the nation, two all-conference athletesg some of the school's best vocalists, scholars and workers-all belong to this class. This is the class that will lead the college next year. It has a splendid quality of leadership which will give the rest of the school an opportunity to develop its capabilities. The Juniors' duty will be to give the kind of leadership next year which will pre- pare the following class to take its place. In this we are already sure of its success.

As Freshmen they were pulled through Black River by the Sophomores, and as Sophs they were given a return trip by the Frosh. As upperclassmen they will find their aquatic experiences of little value, since Hope lacks a swimming team. Hence they will turn their activities elsewhere. XY'hat the Sophomores lacked in brawn they made up in other fields. Their Nykerk Cup standing is just opposite that of the pull team. They won both as Frosh and as Sophs. The record they take with them into their third year balances itselfg and the school, as always, waits with interest the contribu- tions its new upperclassmen will make. The Sophomores will have abundant opportunity to prove their talents in the coming years. It will be up to them to maintain Hope's outstanding record 50 I I 5 . OFFICERS President .....

There is every indication that they will be able to do this in athletics. They already boast an all-conference basket- ball man as well as a good number of varsity basket- ball and football men. In track and tennis, too, they are well represented. In forensics they have yet to be proven, though there is promising material-especially in women's debate. The next two years will show better where their scholars are. Their activity in music is very encouraging. The Sophomores stand a united class. They have been purged of their inexperience ftwice, and some- what unwillinglyj by the murky waters of the Black River, with the hearty cooperation of the present juniors and Frosh. Hope College knows they will do their best to maintain its name, and is confident that their best will make it proud of them. THIS YEAR. SOPHOMORES r W. Anderson M. Blair J. Buursma D. De Fouw D.

The class of '45 descended in a swarm upon the campus of Hope College in September, almost two hundred strong. Don Mulder became the first to lose his self-respect in the Frosh-Soph games. He shinned half-way up the greased pole, when he sud- denly stopped and descended in pursuit of his pants which had preceded him down. The following day the Freshmen avenged themselves by defeating the Sophomore swimming team in the annual pull. Gabby Van Dis captained the Frosh. This year the college was allowed to use Freshmen as varsity athletes. Athletics proved to be a very strong point with the Frosh. They have men in all sports, with the possible exception of golf. The football, basketball, track, and tennis teams all have a good share of first year men, and the prospects they give us for the coming years are extremely bright. Besides athletic talent, the Frosh are strong in gr' OFFICERS President ....... Merle Vanden Berg . Shirley Rutgers . Russ De Vette Dick Higgs Vice President . . Secretary . . . Treasurer . vocal music. They claim many of the campus song birds, and have provided much chapel music. As usual, the Frosh went through the traditional conditioning period. They were welcomed enthusi- astically by fraternity men who showed them around the houses by day and warmed up paddling arms by night. After rushing and pledging were over, a period 'of some time was devoted to vigorously mas- saging the Freshmen at the posterior termination of the spinal column. The week of Freshman punishments came. Gerald QThe Beautifulj Karel stole the show with vocal solos from the fire escape of Van Raalte Hall, while many of his classmates walked around below wear- ing signs of varying implications. The Freshman record has been a good one this year. They have proved themselves the kind of class which makes Hope College respected. 55 4, r .A . liiifg ' N FRESHMEN v--W-'-w'5r.gw-'gggw--,-Y 'Q . s ,Q A ,f ss.

Then on the very first day of October the frosh began to show their true color by donning the traditional green. And although they pulled the sophs through the river, it was hats off to the class of '44 when they won the Nykerk cup contest for the second year in succession. Next of importance on the social calendar was Homecoming. Wfe greeted old friends who have graduated and thoroughly enjoyed a talk by Dr. Lester Kuiper. Then came Dutch Treat Week. We almost had a date bureau, but did not since we realized Hope coeds could take advantage of their opportunities without any help of a bureau. QP.S. They didlj By giving the Commons Council an allowance from our treasury we incited a little more social progress on our campus. Those Saturday nights in the Commons room and the gym were lots of fun and we are all for them. Remember that toboggan party we all anticipated so much?

Student Council also got our college defense pro- gram under way, but soon realized that it was a responsibility for a separate council. However, we did carry on our defense forums which proved very successful, and later interspersed health lectures with the forums. Then came May Day and Student Council again lent a willing hand, as we drew to the end of a busy, happy, and considerably shortened school year. Although it has been a busy year with our many responsibilities we have enjoyed our work. It has been pleasant to serve as a mediary between faculty and students and to relieve the former of many of its duties. Altogether the Student Council plays a most im- portant part in student life on the campus, even though students are not always aware of its activity. Members are chosen one from each society and a boy and girl representative from the freshman class. The president is elected by the student body in one of the most exciting campaigns and elections of the year. W.A.L. ALSO PROMOTES SOCIAL ACTIVITIES. First Row: D. Vander Borgh, Miss E. Lichty, N.

Ruth Stegenga Under the capable leadership of Doris Vander Borgh another successful year filled with social ac- tivities has drawn to a close. To start the year off, clever booklets, with defense as their theme, were distributed, announcing all the events of the year. During that first busy week, the Orientation Tea proved a big success to help frosh and new girls get acquainted with the old girls. Then came the float in the Homecoming parade with Queen Nola Nies and her court . . . a tea in the dorm . . . and at Christmas something new and very worthwhile . . . the Hope coeds sponsored a Christmas party for those children who probably would not see very much of Santa Claus . . . it is still a mystery as to who had the best time, the chil- dren or their hostesses! K One of the big events of the year was the All- College skating party to which a crowd came for skating, super entertainment, and refreshments. Our first All-College Tea went over with unanticipated success, more fellows turned out than girls! Something new has been added . . . keeping up with the times, members of the faculty and student body are publishing a social code offering tips for life on and off the campus. And on the domestic side . . . the main project of the year featured a return trip of Dr. Block who spent two days on our campus, one devoted to lec- tures and the other to personal conferences. Miss Marian Blood of Grand Rapids gave a very interest- ing talk on The Romance of Furniture. And in spring we had May Day which is one of the most important events sponsored by W. A. L. This year it was a bigger success than ever because of the democracy employed in the selection of the Queen and her court. Every student and faculty member had a voice in the selection. After a year filled to overflowing with social activities, everything closed with the All-College Sing. And so another chapter in W. A. I..'s book has ended. All college women are members of the Women's Activities League. The board itself is made up of the four officers and a representative from every girls' organization on the campus. Miss Elizabeth Lichty is the faculty adviser who very graciously guides and counsels us throughout the year. 63 ALL COLLEGE FUNCTIONS GAVE FUN TO ALL.

The occasion was Dutch Treat Week. annual girl-dates-hoy affair. Dutch Treat XVeek was climaxed hy a roller skating party. This was it popular form for All-College affairs, for the joint Y's sponsored one the first week of school and XV. A. I., put on ii Hobo skating party late in March. 64 On the program of the W. A. L. Hoho party was a nov- elty octette, Seven Hits and a Miss. Also featured were a fortune teller, a silhouette booth, and such games as ping- pong and shuflleboard. One of the informal hits of the social season was an ANCHOR-sponsored all-college hay-ride party. Two racks were loaded to overflowing. The affair ended with lunch at Anchor Inn. Late each year comes the college election at which the students name the president for Student Council and two associate editors for the ANCHOR for the following year. The picture ahove was taken at one of the voting places in the hasement of the chapel during last year's election, when Bill Tappan was made Student Council president. DORM LIFE IS AN EDUCATION IN LIVING. -ag.. ..- Living together in dormitories teaches students toleration and understanding of other people's problems. It also makes them realize the frequent necessity of submitting one's own immediate desires to the good of the group. In Voorhees Hall freshmen girls are started on their education in living with initiation by dorm sophomores. They are pulled out of bed late at night, forced to pledge and demon- strate their subordination, and finally sent down the circu- lar fire escape chute to the dorm court. The first picture above shows Marie jenkins coming out of the chute, with a jacket over her pajamas and shoes in her hand, to be received by Sophomore Norma Lemmer. Other pictures show one of the ever-busy phone booths in Voorheesg a dating scene at Voorhees junior, officially known as the Annex, a birthday spread in the room of Barbara Folensbee and jean Hortong and a peacetime and wartime scene in Van Vleck, men's dormitory. 65 COMMONS ROOM IS A POPULAR MEETING SPOT. Three years ago, a drive for funds among the college societies, Blue Key, ladies' aid societies and the churches of Holland netted a sum of money for the purpose of remodeling a room on the second floor of the education building into the attractive recreation hall which has become a popular meeting spot for Hope fellows and coeds. Now the words Let's go up to the Commons Room and bat out a set of ping-pong have become common ones among students on the campus. Other students enjoy the Commons Room radiog others, the magazines and gamesg while still others come just to chat. Every day this pleasant recreation room is open to all those who wish to avail themselves of its facilities. In the evening various organizations hold their meetings here. The Student Council has discovered that upholstered maple davenports and chairs, and colorful draperies make a more pleasant atmosphere than that of chapel classrooms for its meetings. The Thesaurian Literary Society holds its weekly meet- ings here. Le Cercle Francais, Der Deutsche Ve- rein, English Majors Club, Philosophy Club, and Alpha Chi assemble in the Commons. This room has proved itself well-adapted to Commons Council, Palette and Masque, society alumnae and joint meet- ings, and to the new class in first aid. 66 First Row: R. Vander May, N Lemmer, F.

Many students enjoyed the opportunity to become better acquainted with each other and with the faculty and just to have fun. Second Row: C. Harrison, R. Em- FRATERNITIES ARE SOCIAL AND LITERARY. The first two weeks of a new man's stay on the campus are comparable to some people's idea of paradise. Dates are arranged for himg he is dined freeg interesting literary meetings and all sorts of entertainment are providedg noth- ing costs him a penny. It seems as though every upper- classman in the college has an open wallet and an open heart. Here we see Knickerbockers Krum and Van Eenenaam telling Freshman Ted Zwemer what a fine fellow he is as they drive him to an evening of fun at the Allegan Fair. All dreams come to an end sometime. The new man's bubble bursts after he has pledged a fraternity. Then he begins to pay for all kindnesses received: for his entertain- ment by being sold as a slave, for time spent on him by being paddled, and for being made to feel like a king by pledge restrictions and duties. ' The climax of his two weeks of misery begins with quest night. Cosmo Pledge Bustie Van Dyke is shown counting a few miles of railroad ties under the careful tutelage of Jim Baar. Next comes informal initiation. This is an experience which is branded into the memory of every pledge. While it is true that all the treatments which he undergoes are harmless, the pledge feels that he is being brutally mishan- dled. The secret of this is deceptiong the new man is put in such fear that he magnifies his discomforts to tortures. The unidentified Emersonian pledge sitting disconsolate on the Hoot is finished with his initiation. He hasn't been hurt but he thinks he has. The final step in the pledge's initiation is his formal acceptance by the fraternity as a full member. This is a solemn but colorful and highly ritualistic occasion. Here he is admitted to the secrets and all the privileges of the fra- ternity. But first he must make his pledge to take upon himself the full responsibility of membership. Fraternal pledges take their oath before the president and secretary, and before upperclassmen representing the ideals of Truth, Friendship, Love, and Hope. This year the cere- mony took place in the parlors of Hope Reformed Church. 67 COSMOPOLITANS WERE BASKETBALL LEADERS. The Cosmopolitan men have written their fifty-second chapter. For half a century the green and white flag of Friendship, Truth, X and Progress, has waved high over the Cosmopolitan portals, never giving way to foreign colors. The pages of this exciting chapter tell the story of sixty-two men who have been trained socially, intellectually, and morally. Rough stones upon the huge rock pile of college students are now the pol- ished individuals that our land is calling for. The college, the community, the church, yes, the four corners of the earth call upon such men to be their leaders. The Cosmopolitan fraternity will bid fare- well to twenty-one members who have experienced four years of Cosmopolitan care. Twenty-one mem- bers will leave our halls to become beacons in our great American society. Upon graduation three of our boys will enter a seminary, six will enter the education field, four will go into the business world, two chemists will appear, two will enroll in medical schools, and one will enroll in a dental school. Of the remaining three, Cupid has claimed one, Elmer Morgan will enter the Marine's Officers Training School, and Thomas Slager has already left us to serve in the Army. Such an enormous array of talent has not left the Cosmopolitan fraternity in many years. Twenty-six new members joined our ranks in Sep- tember to be piloted by Presidents Kenneth Vanden 68 All Hope Fraternities began as liter- ary societies. Through the years as these groups have evolved and integrat- ed, they have never lost sight of their primary character, today the Thursday and Friday night literary meetings are still the center of the life of the frater- nity as at whole. The programs give members a chance to reveal their talents and express their views before an appre- ciative audience. From the standpoint of the listener, there are discussions on a wide range of topics by men from all over the United States. looking forward to a large variety of careers.

August Van Eerden, Robert Emmick, and john Hietbrink provided us with our programs, and Donald De Fouw, Clinton Harrison, and Daniel Fylstra handled the duties of the scribe. Outstanding in the list of activities this year in- cluded a Vlfinter party at the Warm Friend Tavern and joint meetings with the Delphi Society and the Fraternal Society. The last of the social affairs cen- tered around a formal Spring Party at the Holland Country Club. In the athletic sphere Cosmopolitans have placed eight regular men on our football and baseball squads. lntellectually Cosmos is proud of her four honor roll members, five Blue Key men, and three repre- sentatives in the Collegiate Who's Who. Thus ends our fifty-second chapter. Phi Kappa Alpha will continue to create cosmopolitan men. The highly active spring session found Blase Levai EMERSONIAN IS A LARGE, FRIENDLY GROUP.

The dictionary definition of the word organization states that it is a group of individuals systematically united to promote a set of principles or ideas. Today this is the primary purpose of the Fraternity in action. Men of Emerson are pledged to protect the freedom of those ideals for which our fraternity and democracy stand. A successful rushing season was the forerunner of a progressive year for the .youngest of Hope's four fraternities. Under the guidance of President john Hains, Vice President Blase Levai, and Elwin Muil- enburg, secretary, the new members were success- fully initiated and orientated into the full meaning of fraternity life. The activities of the fall season were gloriously terminated with a first prize in house decorations for Homecoming and the annual winter formal.

Although none of the fraternities has all of its members living under the same roof, each brother considers The House to be his second home. The local men and those rooming in private homes and dormitories are as much a part of the social group as those living within the fraternity itself. The Emersonian Grille seats thirty-two men. Besides these it employs a House Mother. a Grille Manager, and a crew of ten student waiters. The latter earn their board by their work. sions highlighted by the featured Sibylline joint meeting.

The most widely recognized fraternity activity during the past two years has been the variety show, Fraler Frolirs, of which the cast is shown here. The show, which was written by Fraternal Sopho- mores George Lumsden and john Vander Broek, included a male chorus, a troupe of chorus girls, black-face acts, and gag sequences. Highlights of the per- formance were the witticisms of the playing authors and such vocal duets by Everett Kleinjans and Donald Lievense as Behind the Swinging Door, I Took a Peach to the Beach, and I Picked a Lemon in the Garden of Love. The Frolirs was given March 12, 13, and 14 and played all three nights to capacity crowds in the Woman's Literary Club. ,Q g . Little did Dr. Phillip Phelps, Tappan, Baas, Hoekje and Vanderhill.

Today we are . ...., 5:5 ai--5551: ssazggg .,,,,.., ' alll' a wa y Nllli Ill engaged in a more tremendous task than ever before. Fraternal is old in years and rich in traditions of loyalty and service, and we are proud to be working hand in hand with our government in burying for- ever the ax of tyranny. Circumstances have nevertheless shown no ill effects on the social success of our fraternity and Fraternal continues soaring to greater heights. In the year '41-'42 Fraternal placed men on the football, basketball, baseball, golf and tennis teams. XY'illiam Tappan, All-M. I. A. A. center, captained the football squad through a successful season and Frater Martin Bekken was also elected to a position on the All-M. I. A. A. football eleven. Frater Wfilliam Hakken was awarded, for the second con- secutive year, the Randall Bosch trophy for the player displaying the best sportsmanship. Fraternal is equally proud of George Dalman and Everett Kleinjans who were both chosen members of the All- M. I. A. A. basketball team. After a lapse of one year another interfraternity basketball trophy graces the trophy case of O. K. E. Academically, Fraternal boasts of its five members of the Blue Key Honor Fraternity-Fraters Bekken. 70 proud that William Tappan held the important posi- tion of Student Council president and added distinc- tion to Fraternal and himself by achieving the honor of being valedictorian of the senior class. Richard Higgs, president of the freshman class, is also a Frater. Aside from these achievements Fraternal also dis- tinguished itself by presenting their second annual Frater Frolics, a variety show which not only proved to be an hilarious and highly financial suc- cess but which also did much to prove the versa- tility of its members. The gallant leaders who capably piloted Fraternal through three terms of fame and fortune were Fra- ters Van Omen, Bekken, and Vanderhill. Social highlights of the year were the joint meet- ing with our Sorosis sisters and the annual spring party. K rooms during the KNICKERBOCKER IS SMALL BUT CLOSE-KNIT. For the past thirty-three years, ,- t, Knickerbocker has held high its IQ? lffx triangle of Social, Moral, and ft in 'Y Intellectual, and the year of '41- lz 8 '42 was no exception. To have been a member of K. H. N. was i a thrilling, unforgettable experi- ence for fraternity members, alumni, and associates. To add to the pleasure of fraternizing with fellow Knicks, there were exciting inter-fraternity sports, bull-sessions and highly entertaining and educational meetings. Knicker- bocker has had the pleasure of being entertained on several occasions by its gracious and helpful Mothers Club. The fall term found Lester Lampen in the seat of honor being ably assisted by Paul Van Eenenaam as vice president and with Gradus Shoemaker doing the recording. This term proved to be a very busy one -rushing, paddling, and formal initiation all fol- lowing in rapid succession. The next thing of im- port was Homecoming when K. H. N. carried off second honors in house decorations under the decor- ative ingenuity of Chairman Jack Krum. ' Time marched on and the second term found Randall Decker at the helm. Robert Spaulding and John Slagter were vice president and secretary re- spectively. It was during this term that the frater- nity decided to move its location to one which was more advantageous. The third floor of the Temple building was decided as the proper place, and the Knicks held their formal opening of the new club Not least in the experience of a Hope fraternity man are the bull sessions which are integral in his daily life. After lunch or dinner, after literary meetings, after closing hours at the girls' dormi- tories, fraternity brothers may group to- getherg spontaneously the bull session is begun. It is here that members learn to know one another most intimately. For to these discussions the men bring their per- sonal problems in order to gain advice. Here too personal experiences are ex- changed, sometimes an especially lively session will take on the character of a confessional. A view into the complete informality of the bull session is afforded by the picture of these Knickerbockers gathered around the fraternity radio. second week of February. The guests, numbering over four hundred, were escorted through the various rooms and also were served a lunch by the Knick Mothers Club. The spring term election brought Robert Spauld- ing in the key position allied with Jack Krum, vice president, and Al Leenhouts, secretary. Social activi- ties in this term began with a pleasant and enjoyable meeting with the Knicks' sister society, Sibylline, at the Knickerbocker club rooms. Then followed a rid- ing party staged at Evergreen Stables, featuring lots of fun, an enjoyable roast at the beach, and sore south-ends the next morning. Highlighting the spring social season K. H. N. gave an informal dinner party for its local alumni at the Dutch Mill restaurant to top off and complete the year. 71 SORGRITIES CEMENT GREAT ERIENDSHIPS. Q -L--ff g Y .x Y ' S il. Sorority rushing is a slower and more formal process than that of fraternities. It is carried on under the super- vision of the Pan-Hellenic council which plans programs to provide each new girl a chance to become acquainted with all the girls of the sororities. Such an event this year was the Round Robin Tea. Each society presented a program which was repeated for four groups of freshmen. Tea was served to the last group in the manner shown above. where Betty Mulder and Carleen Stroop are being entertained by Dorians Oppeneer and Rosendahl. Milli After four weeks of school the new girls are sent bids and those who pledge are accepted on a tentative basis. They do not become full members until the end of the first semester when they have proved their scholastic ability. Then they go through initiation to complete participation. The first step in their initiation is being sold as slaves to the older members. This is intended to impress upon them their inferiority and subordination to upperclassmen. Sibyl- line Simon Legree janet Arnold is auctioning off Millie Vander Linden to prospective taskmistresses. M 71 Sorority informal initiations are planned around clever themes. For example, Sibylline freshmen this year came dressed as various vegetables, representing ingredients in the Sih Stew. Dorian pledges portrayed articles on the Cosmetic Counter. New Sorosites were forced to eat Humble Pie in their initiation, at which the above picture was taken. janet Bogart is seen purring like a nice kitty for Helen Mae Heasley, initiation chairman, while jean Shiffner, dressed as a die, awaits her turn to be examined and cross-examined by upperclass Sorosites. 72 Formals and formality mark the beautiful candle-lit final induction ceremonies of sororities. Delphians held theirs in the parlors of Third Reformed Church of Holland, with a number of prominent alumnae present. Senior members in black robes served as guard of honor while one by one the pledges were administered the oath and signed their names to the secretary's book. Arlyne Voorhorst is shown here taking her turn. After signing, the new girls lighted candles, were presented daffodil boutonnieres, and were welcomed as members by President Beth Marcus. DELPHIS TOOK HIGH HONORS IN FORENSICS. September found the Delphi Bandwagon ready to start its thirty-second ses- sion with the campus queen, Q ' - .,,.- -Zi y Nola Nies, as the driver. Q74 Helpful accompaniment came from Dolly Kamps as vice president, Eleanor Dal- man, secretary, and less ruts and discords were noticed with Jean Ruiter as treasurer. The new crop of hits on the campus were entertained at the Delta Phi College Shop, and on other programs, the result being that nineteen were selected to step on the Delphi Bandwagon. The climax of the fall social season was a party which the Delphian hits dedicated to Mr. Esquire. During the winter Beth Marcus took over the the bandwagon, ably assisted by Eleanor reins of Dalman, vice president, and Ruth Houmes, secretary. A bond of closer harmony was realized at the im- pressive Church. formal initiation held in Third Reformed Short rides were shared with the Cosmo- politans and Emersonians in the form of joint meet- ings. x Jeanette Rylaarsdam succeeded Beth Marcus, as the driver, during the spring term, with helpful sugges- tions coming from Margaret Nagy, vice president, and Ruth Vander May, secretary.

What a year this has been with Jeannette Van Beek, our president, guiding us through the first semester. Mimi Moncada as vice president, Corinne Pool and Marge Borgman acting as secretary and treasurer, helped her. And now it's time to sing Auf Wiedersehen to our seniors. As they leave they'll take with them memories which will keep Dorian ever close to their hearts-memories of the autumn slumber party, that hilarious event which launched The Dorian into a sea of activity . . . the Round Robin Tea for the new girls--and what a thrill when 14 new sailors joined our crew! Homecoming was our next port, the sophomores tried hard to sail the float to vic- tory, and what joy to renew friendships with former mates at the alumni breakfast at Anchor Inn.

I .AMW THESAURIAN WAS CREATED JUST THIS YEAR. A host of new girls on the campus-new talents to be developed-new enthu- WQ' siasm to be loosed-and ' presto! a new society is VW- ,-- born. Z. Christened Thesaurian, the new society made her debut in the Commons room, choosing scarlet and gray for her colors and Theta Gamma Pi as the Greek symbols of her ideals. At football games members appeared wearing red carnations, the offi- cial flower. Ably assisted by Marian Van Zyl of Chicago, the society's first president, Thesaurian began her first journey. The road was a bit bumpy, but Vice Presi- dent Adelaide Wandscheer of Sioux Center, Iowa, helped to smooth out the rough spots. Josephine Fitz, of Schenectady, N. Y., as secretary, recorded the early progress. Betty Jayne Smith of Amsterdam, N. Y., took care of the financial problems. Pleasant stops along the way included the formal winter theater party with all the thrills and frills, and the informal beach Patty in the spring. Work began early in the year for a float in the Homecom- ing parade, and a luncheon before the big game. There was a day when Thesaurian detoured via the Poppen farm to enjoy a sleigh ride. It was then that some of the out-of-state girls got their first sample of rural Michigan atmosphere. Stops were made for Water. Richards. L. Peterson. Parsons. teas, clever programs, and delicious pot-lucks. Mem- bers also took time out to tune up for the annual all-college sing. In April some of the group took another route to accompany the Girls' Glee Club to points east. Theta Gamma Pi looks back on happy memories, but her true outlook is to the future-to the greeting of new Thesaurians and to bidding farewell to grad- uates through years to come. With the ideals of her creed held ever high before her, she hopes to do her part in service to her Alma Mater and to her fellow- students. Through devotion to Christ and the church, loyalty to country, striving for high achieve- ment, and the fostering of friendship binding her members together but extending also to all others, Thesaurian will go on to true service and glory. 77 First Row: B.

FRENCH CLUB Parlez-vous en Francais, mes amis? Non? Then the Cercle Francais is no place for you, for there we talk in French tout le temps. The purpose of the Cercle Francais is to provide an opportunity for students to use this language in a social way. Games are sometimes played, using geographical or literary names, thus members learn about France while having fun at the same time. The Cercle was led this annee by Mademoiselle la presidente Nola Nies. Assisting her were Peggy Hadden as vice-presidente, Emilia Moncada as secre- taire and Judith Schermerhorn as tresoriere. Highlights of the year included an interesting talk, tout en francais, by Madame Tardiff. For an- other meeting we enjoyed a soiree de Noel at the home of Madame Prins, one of our advisers. The five actrices, Edith Klaaren, Ruth Stegenga, Bernice Oatmen, Judith Schermerhorn and Betty Davis, of the class de conversation, and Howard Hoekje, pre- sented the comedic, Medicin Malgre Lui. The piece was under the direction of our doctor, Made- moiselle Lichty. To top the year off right, the membres forgot all cares for an evening of fun at the Nies residence. GERMAN CLUB Wie geht's mit dir Freund? Ach, das Deutsch tut mir wehg ich kann es nichtll' But the German students in Der Deutsche Verein make a noble effort, and what the German conver- sation lacks in accuracy, it makes up in enthusiasm. President Nan Boynton wields the gavel at the monthly meetings and the business is taken care of by Secretary Louise Essenburg and Treasurer june Baker. Meetings which begin with group singing of the rollicking old German songs are planned by faithful Vice President john Van Lierop. An illustrated talk on old Vienna, papers on Ger- man composers and authors or on Americans in Ger- many, the music and poetry itself . . . these programs give members a sympathy and understanding of the Germans and the Germany that once was and will sometime be again. The outstanding event on the German Club calen- dar was the Christmas party, where members satis- fied their thirst for knowledge and for fruit punch, and were taught by Miss Boyd, the faculty adviser, to say Merry Christmas in good German. Well-prepared literary meetings and hilarious par- ties marked this as a well-spent year for Der Deutsche Verein. ENGLISH MAIORS CLUB The English Majors Club enjoyed an unusually successful season under the capable leadership of Ruth Stegenga. Composed of juniors and seniors majoring in English, the group profited from varied and interesting programs dealing with phases of English literature and composition. Essays and verse by members were judged, lectures were enjoyed, pro- fessors were quizzed, and recordings of Maurice Evans' interpretation of Hamlet were heard. Meet- ings were magnified by the manifestations of our maximal Majors Maestro, Dr. james H. Warner. Other masterly moderators were john Haines, vice president, and Dorothy Curtis, secretary-treasurer. All the meetings sparkled but several scintillated with especial brightness. Mrs. Edward Donivan pre- sented, in her own inimitable witty style, a book- review describing the problems of A Ymzkee Bride in Moscow. Professor Valentine Wendt of the Uni- versity of Michigan reviewed for us the current Broadway productions. An Information Please program was held, with professors comprising a board of experts. New officers were elected from the junior ranks in April, and a beach party climaxed the year in May. Innovations including the inviting of the juniors to join us throughout the year, and the serving of refreshments at meetings were added. 79 PRE-PROFESSIONAL CLUB MEMBERS LEARN ,, .xg x.

CHEMISTRY CLUB Do you know anything about Hydration of Aluminum Salts, Cellulose and Its Derivatives, or Optical Isomerism in Epinephrine Derivatives ? If not, and you are still interested please get in touch with any member of the Chemistry Club who will gladly attempt to clarify you on the unknown quantities of these modern test-tube topics which have been discussed by them at their regular meet- ings. This group of future professional chemists under the capable leadership of President Cornelius Pet- tinga, Vice President Robert Emmick, and Secretary Wallace Van Liere centrifuged this nineteenth year into a solid precipitate of success. Senior informal lectures and papers by lower classmen featured at every meeting supplemented classroom activity and provided opportunity for the individual to investi- gate scientific subjects and problems of contemporary and personal interest. Several outstanding alumni returned this year to give the club interesting facts of actual test-tube experience and also furnished en- couragement and inspiration enabling the active members to see their goals of scientific advancement and human enlightenment. Again faculty advisers Dr. Van Zyl and Dr. Klein- heksel can pride themselves with five seniors whose applications for scholarships and assistantships were accepted by leading university graduate schools. SCALPEL CLUB Something new has been added! Extra-curricular activities received a new impetus this year from the newly organized Scalpel Club. Not only did it ful- fill its purpose of giving its charter members, pre- med students and biology majors, a broader concept of their work and an insight on advances in biology and medicine, but the club added a spark of life to campus activities with lectures open to the student body. In its initial year of activity the club was presided over by Justin Aalpool. He was energetically assisted by Clint Harrison who provided the monthly meetings with both student and outside speakers. These research papers by students proved their great value in interesting information and provided the incentive for outside research. Among the outside speakers were the notable Dr. Storm of Arabia, Dr. Winter, and Dr. Leenhouts who spoke on topics re- lated to their recognized and particular field. Effi- cient handling of the secretarial work was done by Persis Parker, and the usual purse was cared for by Bob Heneveld. The outstanding accomplishment of the year was the sponsoring of an illustrated lecture on cancer by Dr. Henry Vanden Berg, an authority on the subject, which was attended by nearly two hundred students. ALPHA CHI The Christian ministers of tomorrow will be facing the tremendous task of presenting to the post-war world an all-sufficient Christ on whom the foundations of society can be rebuilt. Alpha Chi is seeking to meet the needs of pre-seminary students by acquainting them with some day encounter. the problems they will Their program this year included a discussion on led by Reverend Louis De Graaf, by way of a book review, gave them some pertinent remarks on Poetry as a Means of Grace. Rather unique were the meetings at which some of the seminary students The Call of the Ministry Benes. Professor Clarence returned and told what they would do if they had to do it over again. The Messengers of Christ made an excursion to Grand Rapids this spring, in- spected the home of the Intelligencer-Leader, and visited a Jewish Synagogue. The climax of the year's activities was a banquet at Third Church, to which the future juvrouws were graciously invited. The officers this year were Henry Kik, president: Wayne Lemmen, vice president, Wesley Heinen, sec- retary, Leroy Sandee, treasurer, Daniel Fylstra and Wallace Stoepker, committeemen-at-large. Reverend Henry Bast is their adviser. 81 THE BAND WAS SMALL BUT EVER PEPPY. This year has been one of retrenchment for the Hope College Band. Besides strutting its stuff for the football and basketball games little was done in the way of prepared programs. However, the way it performed at these games was enough to send the most profound jitter-bug into spasms of riotous rol- licking. Gurgling saxes, squeeling clarinets, blasting brasses, smearing trombones, and slushy baritones formed a fitting background to the slap-happy antics of our swing-mad drummer, Rance Everett. Above par were our world-famous drum majors and majorettes who put on performances both novel and intriguing. These famous personages were none other than Johnny Kleis, drum major, and Rose Seith and Shirley Rutgers, drum majorettes. Any bad notes coming from the band can be traced to their intense interest in the technique of these famous virtuosi. Our talented Scotch conductor, Professor James Mearns, led our stumbling footsteps on the narrow, rocky way to musical knowledge. He patiently cor- rected our many faults and the results can truthfully be called amazing. An interesting innovation this year was the instru- mental class under Professor Mearns' direction which 82 De Vries, T. Zwemer, Prof. j. T. Van Dahm, J. -lesser, -I. Van XVyk, J. Hoover. R.

We can look back on the past year as one that carried on the high standard of Hope's bands, and look forward to continued suc- cess in the development of instrumental music on Hope's campus. ez ,. .

What would chapel be without the choir's full- throated opening sentence and that long expectant pause before they break into the Amen ? Under the capable direction of Robert W. Cavanaugh, chapel choir this year has been larger and more active than ever. Besides furnishing music for chapel exercises, during Prayer Week and on other occa- sions, the choir sang in a Christmas vesper sponsored by Musical Arts, and for a service in Hope Church. The choir joined with the Holland High School A Cappella Choir and the Holland Civic Chorus in their annual presentation of Handel's Messiah on December 19. This combined choir of five hundred voices under Mr. Cavanaugh's baton gave an inspired performance. Choir means more than public performances, how- ever.

Curtis Snow, the feminine warblers of Hope College started our year with high expectations and attained every one of them. XVe remembered it was our turn to go East on a concert tour fas if we could forget, so we decided to become very proficient by having two rehearsals a week. XVe silently and faithfully came to rehearsals thinking that soon the faculty would tell us we could take that trip. Finally it was sanctioned and our enthusiasm dou- bled as we sang out on Let All My Life Be Music by Spross. Remember those days just before our first presentation of the dramusical when it seemed as though we would never get the words memorized? NYT worked hard and long and early freferring to those Saturday morning work-outsj. And those doughnut sales to raise money. Wfe not only became professional singers but salesmen as well! Then came the depressing news that we could not get a bus to make our tour! However, we still kept plugging and hoping, and sure enough our Santa Claus, Mr. Friesema, got us a bus. Our dream became an actuality. The flat tire on our way to Detroit did not deflate our spirits. And our first concert was the beginning of an unusually successful tour. Of course the Westerners took New York City by storm and found out we were not jok- ing when we had a New York policeman tell us to pull over to the coib. W'ill you ever forget the hit that quartet made in Albany with their bright and shining faces, not to mention their version of Camp- town Races. Then once again Holland! Wfeary, worn girls glad to be home but if given the word ready to start out on another trip. But this was not the end of our activities. Our home concert was tops! And those little jaunts to Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids were much fun. And then our pot-luck at Mrs. Olive's home. It was grand to be with her again but ever so hard for the seniors to say goodbye, knowing this brought down the curtain of a most successful year. New friendships, numerous laughs, and an art for living together-and most of all a director whom we love-these belong to the Girls' Glee Club! OFFICERS President .....

This year was the men's turn to remain at home while the Girls' Glee Club went on the road. The club began the year with more than thirty members, and was strong in every section. The great poten- tialities of this group were very encouraging to its director, Professor Cavanaugh, who did such a line job with last year's club, his first year here. During the first semester several members joined our coun- try's fighting forces. This destroyed the balance of the group and necessitated a revision of its person- nel. The club was cut to twenty, and this picked group sang together for the rest of the year. In cooperation with the national effort to conserve on vital materials it was thought advisable to make the girls' tour the only trip taken by either club. All customary short trips to surrounding cities, and a projected week-end jaunt were foregone by the men. Performances were confined to the vicinity of Hol- land. ' The men appeared in several local churches, and maintained the reputation acquired on last year's tour of being a well-trained and musicianly group. The college heard them twice in the morning chapel service, singing Trust in the Lord by Handel, and Ecce Quomodo Morirur by Palestrina. The club also appeared in a vesper service sponsored by the Musical Arts Club. While the girls were gone the chapel choir was given a vacation, and during this two weeks period the Men's Glee Club took its place each morning. Although not in the public eye, the men have worked hard building for next year when they hope to repeat their success of last year. The outlook for next year's club is uncertain. The army now has first claim on the male personnel of the college-a prior- ity which is not begrudged by anyone. Nevertheless, it appears at present that the college will have an- other outstanding Men's Glee Club next year. Among graduating members is Bill Goodrow, the Pride of Schenectady fthe city that lights and hauls the worldj. Mr. Goodrow, it is claimed, can hit high C at fifty paces, and on a clear day with the wind behind him, he can be heard in Chicago. Also graduating is Chuck Stoppels who will take with him his famed View Haloo-oo-oo which has caused great confusion among Pere Marquette offi- cials. OFFICERS President ......

In the past, music students have felt the need of such a group, so much interest was immediately shown. All Hope students who were studying music pri- vately were invited to the organization meeting, at which Gordon Berkel was elected president of the group, junella Vander Linden, vice president, and Jeanne Swart, secretary-treasurer. Jeanette Van Beek was elected program chairman, whose duty it was to appoint, with her committee, chairmen for the monthly meetings. Homecoming gave the club its first opportunity to display its name Musical Arts which was accepted soon after its organization. A musically decorated car in the Homecoming parade satisfactorily hailed the new group. Activities for the year were carried out in monthly club meetings and an occasional Sunday vesper service. All of us know it is one thing to play or sing alone. or for one's teacher, but it is quite another thing to play or sing before a critical group of musi- 86 cians. It was doing this that made the membership in the club so valuable. At each meeting an hour program of varied musical numbers was presented by some members of the group. A critic was appoint- ed for each of these programs, and it was his duty to criticize each number freely and fully-construo tively and destructively. fClinton Harrison proved himself an extremely humorous criticlj Some of the numbers given at these meetings were: vocal solo, Marjorie Brouwer: organ solo, Anna Ruth Poppeng flute duet, Ann De Young and Calvin De Vriesg clarinet solo, Gordon Berkelg ma- rimba solo, john Heemstra. Many more rich musical experiences were offered by club members through- out the year. 1941's fatal December 7 saw Musical Arts sponsor a Sunday Vesper featuring the college choir and glee clubs as well as an organ number by Adelaide Wand- scheer and an organ-piano duet by Marge Friesema and Ruth Van Bronkhorst. Musical Arts has as its ultimate goal the joining of a National Music society. The first step, organi- zation, has been taken. This year's club wishes con- tinued success in the coming years for our enjoyable, serviceable, and invaluable Musical Arts! First Row: C. Scholten, I. Stoppels, N. Becksfort, V. Moncton, E.

Members of the Palette and Masque Club look back over the work of the past year with a feeling of pride and satisfaction. Organized only about a year and a half ago, the club is making a definite place for itself on the campus. In the spring of 1941, Norma Becksfort was cho- sen by the group to head P and M during this year. Assisting her has been Jeanette Rylaarsdam as vice president and program chairman. To Florence Dyke- ma was given the task of recording all official club matters, and to Larry Beltman that of handling the finances. Activities began early in the year when several members participated in the presentation of the hu- morous one-act play, The Noble Lord, before an appreciative audience at the Homecoming banquet. December brought the Christmas season and the deeply moving play, Dust of the Road, coached by Marian Van Zyl. It was given first before a joint meeting of the Y. W. and Y. M. C. A. and was so well received that it was later presented for students in the Beechwood school and for the Women's society of Trinity church. Wallting rehearsals of Enter the Hero and of Py- ramus and Thisbe from A Midsuvlmzer Niglafs Dream were worked up by various groups for the entertainment of their fellow members. Considerable work was also done in impromptu dramatization of given situations, in characterizations, and in panto- mime. Other programs included lessons in stage make-up given by Miss Ross, sponsor of the club. For members interested particularly in art rather than dramatics, a series of lessons in figure drawing was conducted by Gene Hoover. Potential artists found additional opportunities to express themselves through the making of posters announcing various campus activities. Poster work was done under the direction of Nancy Safford and Marian Sandee. Students from both divisions of P and M were called upon to aid in the production of the Senior class play Smilin' Through, some appearing in the cast of the play, others in painting scenery, gather- ing properties, and building the set. That the students of Hope College are interested in dramatics was shown by the fact that this spring, under the sponsorship of P and M, more than forty students traveled to Grand Rapids to see the Civic Players' production of Maxwell Anderson's play Elizabeth lbe Queen.

W. plunged into one of its most suc- cessful and eventful years. First came Orientation W'eek, with the Big Sisters, the beach party, and the campus tour all helping to make the freshmen feel at home. Then came the impressive candle-lit Recog- nition Meeting at which the new members were received, and the many interesting meetings which followed-student-led meetings,-forum discussions, -talks by missionaries, like Tena Holkeboer,-and by ministers, like Rev. William Van't Hof,-a Moth- er's Day meeting,-and in the spring the installation of the next year's ofiicers. Of course, no one forgets the joint meetings with the Y. M. There was that one, for instance, at which the P and M Club presented a Christmas play, and also the one celebrating the centenary of the Chinese Mission. For that inspirational meeting we are all deeply grateful to Mrs. Henry Poppen and the other missionaries who helped her. Under the leadership of President Mae Clonan and Vice President Ann De Young, with the help of Louise Essenberg, who kept the records, and Jeanne Horton, who handled the finances, the Y. W. undertook many special projects this year. Most 1m- the portant was the writing of a constitution for society, a much-needed task which demanded a lot of hard and careful work. In cooperation with the Y. M. they sponsored a Victory Book Campaign to 88 provide books for the men in the army camps. The annual Mission Drive was for the mission church at Chiapas, Mexico. After Rev. and Mrs. Kempers told us about their work there, the students raised well over six hundred dollars, which not only purchased new pews for the Mexican church, but elevated Rod Funston from the pulpit floor to the love-seat. Putting Christianity to Work Today was the general theme of Prayer Week, and Dr. Raymond Drukker was the leader of the week's activities. Un- like the usual practice, we had a different speaker for each service-Rev. Louis Benes, Dr. Samuel Zwemer, Dr. John Dykstra, Dr. R. Mulder, and Dr. Raymond Drukker. Y. M. C. A.

Not least among their activities are the Tuesday morning chapel services which they conduct in co- operation with the Y. W. The cabinet members take their turns in leading the devotions,-and there's always special music. Another of their important projects is the depu- tation work. Groups of students put on programs in nearby churches and various other organizations. John Westhof and Janet Clark announce that this year twenty-eight teams put on programs in twenty- five churches. In their weekly Tuesday evening prayer services the Y. M. has sought this year to present Christian laymen from different walks of life to outline for them a well-rounded Christian life. The Easter Sunrise Service, sponsored in conjunc- tion with the Holland C. E. Union, is yearly becom- ing more popular. Dr. George Menninga of the Western Theological Seminary gave the inspirational address this year. Prayer Week and the Mission Drive are two of the most important events of the year. Five promi- nent men of the church were presented in a week of special devotional services which centered about the general theme: Putting Christianity to Work To- day. The Mission Drive resulted in a fund of over six hundred dollars, which purchased new seats for the church in Chiapas, Mexico. The new bulletin board listing information about the Hope men who are in the armed forces is only another example of the way the Y's are attempting to meet the problems of the present day. Their pro- gram, expressed in the triangle-body, mind, and spirit, extends its influence into every campus activ- ity. They sponsor beach parties, hymn sings, and other recreational opportunities. The officers, Blase Levai, president, Ray Olthof, vice president, Al Borg- man, secretary, and john Muller, treasurer, have con- stantly kept before them tlie goal to make Christ king of Hope's campus. 89 ANCHOR IS THE BI-WEEKLY NEXVSPAPER. First the national emergency and then war were the big issues of the ANCHOR this year. Time and again this bi-weekly campus newspaper printed edi- torials asking Hope students to set aside their college isolationism from the rest of the country and to take their part in a nation in jeopardy. Constantly it demanded that students realize that a democracy imposes duties as well as grants privileges to its citi- zens. In an attempt to carry this purpose farther, the paper printed all the news that it could get concern- ing recent alumni and other former students now in active service. XVhen war broke upon us this report- ing was somewhat curtailed, for the Anchor cooper- ated cheerfully with government requests for volun- tary censorship of news of troop movements and concentrations. At the same time the ANCHOR carried on its pur- pose of recording life on the campus. XVith Editor Lorraine Timmer and her associate, Milton Verburg, forming general policies and directing the depart- ments, a faithful effort was made to report all important developments in the Helds of scholastics, social life, and sports. Daniel Fylstra, assisted by Marian Van Zyl, edited the straight news. Vlfinifred Rameau had help from Mary Blair in handling social happenings, while Kenneth Poppen was understudied by Roger Koeppe in covering the stories from gridiron, cage, court, diamond, track, and links.

Ruthie's verses were especially notable, except that sometimes they were taken too seriously and caused the poetess no end of embarrassment. Special credit is due Nancy Boynton, whose help was never lacking at Saturday morning re-write sessions. The financial end of the work was directed by jack Timmer until leakage of the heart sent him home at Christmas time for a long rest. Then jack's assistant, Wfilliam Moerdyke, took over the duties of Business Manager. Both worked with Faculty Business Adviser Garrett Vander Borgh. The ANCHOR staff had their annual blow-out on November 15 when they hired two hayracks to take them the longest way to Anchor Inn. MILESTONE IS THE BIG JUNIOR PROJECT. The 1942 MILESTONE had its beginning in April, 1941, when the present junior Class, then Sophomores, elected Milton Verburg as its editor. The new chief's first act was to name Edith Klaaren as his associate and Florence Dykema and Wfallace Van Liere as art editors. These three helped in sketching a first draft plan of the book before school let out in June. During the summer the dummy was laid out and the cover plan was drawn up. When college opened again, after consultation with Faculty Adviser Clarence De Graaf, the editor chose Seymour Padnos to fill the co-executive position of business manager and nine literary editors. Padnos selected Frank Lokker as his assistant and a staff of eight salesmen. jean Ruiter took over the position of student treasurer. In September the photography began with Clar- ence Vander Velde and Lowell Heneveld clicking shutters. Len Nienhuis had helped out in recording the late spring activities during the previous school year. At the beginning of the second semester the MILESTONE acquired a new photographer in the person of Roger Prince, a new freshman who had received two years of professional experience at Robinson's Studio in Grand Rapids. From February until May he worked almost every afternoon and many evenings taking a number of the groups and the bulk of the action pictures. He couldn't even get in the staff pictureg he took it. In February the literary assignments went out. The accelerated program of the college meant a First Row: A. Vande Waa. j. Ruiter L. Chisman, M. Brouwer, M. Verburg C. Harrison, E. Klaaren, J.

Clark. great speed-up for the MILESTONE too, for an early finish of the school year required delivery bv the first rather than the middle of june. Many n night the editor could be found collecting copy after midnight in order that the all-important deadline might be made. Then, in May, came proofreading into the not-so- wee hours of the morning and the pasting up of the dummy for the printer. The latter activity afforded a last-minute picture of Associate Editor Edith Klaaren and Art Editor Florence Dykema at work. Now the rest is up to the printer and the judgment of the reader.

The school year 1941-42 was a memorable and never-to-be-forgotten year for the Pi Kappa Delta chapter of Hope College. Not only did they rise to new heights of glory, but also in doing so set up an enviable record for future members to strive for. Hope sponsors the Michigan Gamma chapter of this national forensic honor society, and she is proud of the masterful work done by this year's group. At the May banquet last year, john Westhof was installed as president for this year. Mary Felter served as vice president and Norma Becksfort as secretary-treasurer. John Hains and Jeanette Rylaars- dam were chosen as debate managers and Clinton Harrison filled the office of reporter. Early in October the annual Pi Kappa Delta spon- sored Forensic rally was held. The purpose of the rally was to inform students, especially new students, of the forensic program of the year and to arouse an interest in speech activities. Speeches were given by Pi Kappa Delta members and Prof. William Schrier, faculty advisor. Starting the competitive year out right, Pi Kapls Jeanette Rylaarsdam and Gordon Girod returned home from the state extempore contest in November with a nrst and a third place, respectively. In February John Hains and john Westhof, Gordon Girod and Andrew Veldhuis, all Pi Kappa 92 Delta members, remained undefeated at East Lan- sing to return with the state debate championship. The Third Annual Forensic Day of Hope College was held on March 6. Hope was host to the state oratorical contest. Entrants for Hope were Miss Nola Nies and Calvin De Vries, winners of the local contest held in December. Mr. De Vries won first place in the men's division in the state contest and Miss Nies took second in the women's division. Highlighting the year was the fourteenth Biennial National Convention of Pi Kappa Delta held April 5-10 at Minneapolis, Minnesota. Nola Nies and John Hains entered oratory, Gordon Girod partici- pated in extempore speaking, and John Westhof was in the legislative assembly. Top honors of superior ratings were awarded to Miss Nies, Mr. Girod, and Mr. Westhof. Mr. Hains placed in the excellent divisions with a sixth place rating. Some five hun- dred students from ninety-three colleges and uni- versities competed in the various events. In April tive new members were initiated, a con- stitution was adopted, elections were held and then in May President-elect Clinton Harrison and his council were installed at the annual banquet. Here's to another successful year for '42-43 Pi Kaps and may you carry another Glory Day in your repertoire. . THE DEBATE CLUBS DISCUSSED UNIONS. mam., First Row: M. Jellema, B. Warner, Prof. W.

The six seasoned first squad debaters and several young hopefuls successfully carried out that motto, all out for Hope. A varied and extensive program for the year was worked out by Coach Schrier and his debate managers, John Hains and Jeanette Rylaarsdam. The forensics season was officially opened on January 14 at the Kalamazoo invitational tournament for women. It proved to be a striking opening as the negative team of Tardiff and Rylaarsdam came through with an all-victory record. The men's squad first V for their victory year was spelled at the State Tournament for men held at East Lansing on February 14. Representing Hope were Girod and Veldhuis on the affirmative and Westhof and Hains for the negative. The results showed a perfect all-win record with Hope taking their place as state champions. Albion was the host school this year for the Women's State Debate Tournament. Successfully representing Hope College were Poole, Van Haitsma, Warner, Jellema, Smith, Aldrich, Tardiff, and Ry- laarsdam. Preliminary to the Manchester Debate Tourna- ment, largest in the country, two men's teams, com- posed of Harrison and Veldhuis, and Fylstra and Weenink, ably assisted by Girod, star of the debate squad according to Professor Schrier, succeeded in tieing with Calvin for first place at the Kalamazoo Invitational Tournament. The highlight of the season was the huge annual debate tournament at Manchester, Indiana, on Feb- ruary 27 to 28. To the professed astonishment of Coach Schrier, Harrison and Veldhuis, the coach- less wonders, won five out of six in Division A. They defeated such teams of note as Notre Dame and Illinois Normal, thereby bringing their total at Man- chester for two years to ten out of eleven victories. On the negative the invincible women's team of Tar- diff and Rylaarsdam won four out of five in the A Division while Westhof and Hains dropped their only one. Thus, Hopels record in Class A was nine out of twelve. In B Division Fylstra, Girod, Smith, Pool, Westhof, and Hains in varying combinations took seven out of ten. Hope's total record in both divisions, sixteen out of twenty, put her in the front rank of participating schools. No official champion is crowned at Manchester. Freshmen attended the Men's and Women's Fresh- man Tournaments thereby gaining valuable experi- ence for the coming year. So closed another eventful and an all-out year of forensic work at Hope College. 93 ALL LETTERMEN CAN BELONG TO H CLUB. First Row: K. Newendorp, j. White W. Slocombe, E. Morgan. W. Hakken, J Baar, j.

Bek- The nucleus of athletics on Hope's campus is the one and only He-Man organization, the HU Club. To it alone belongs the distinct honor of stimulating interest in all forms of collegiate sport. Its member- ship is exclusively restricted to varsity men who have earned the right to carry the colors of Hope through- out the ages to come. An enthusiastic active partici- pation on the green-turfed gridiron, the basketball court, the cinder track, the tennis court, or fairway is the key to an H award. This year the activities of the club were under the direction of an elected executive committee headed by versatile Elmer Morgan. Aiding him with the heavy work was William Hakken, vice presidentg Ray Van Ommen acting as secretaryg and .lack Yeo- mans, keeper-of-the-archives. Football Captain Bill Tappan led his team from center and won an All-M. I. A. A. place for himself. The H Club attempts to further athletic inter- est 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. Not only are these men sought for their prowess in athletic competition, but also for the other contribu- tions they may be expected to make during their college career, for scholastic ability is as important as physical fitness. Hope is rightfully proud of the members of the H Club, and is thankful for the prestige these men of the Orange and Blue have brought back to her. For the future the organization looks forward to its new men to uphold and maintain the outstanding records of former Hope teams.

A veil of uncertainty shrouded Hope's grid camp this autumn as four of Hope's first string warriors doffed the orange and blue for army khaki or navy blue. Strange young faces were seen scrimmaging alongside of the all too few veterans. What the newcomers lacked in experience and age they were making up in enthusiasm. To Coach Hinga had fallen the task of creating a football machine out of a handful of veterans and a crew of eager but un- seasoned frosh. He had lost one of his co-captains, Ray Meyers, to the naval air corps. Whitey Riemers- ma, ace of last season's backfield, had answered his nation's call as had Ward Toner and Chuck Hol- comb, veteran linemen. To alleviate the shortage of athletes, the M. I. A. A. had abolished the freshman rule by making eligible first year men who rated in the upper 40 per cent of the frosh intelligence test. x When the smoke of battle had cleared away, Hope had lost only two games, won three, and tied three. Moral victories and bad breaks seemed to be the keynote of the season, but scorebooks do not record weather conditions, injuries, and the other little things that Uncle Sam had not already tinkered with. The frosh stood out as the highlight of the season by their amazing adjustment to collegiate football. The Hingamen got off to a flying start against the Grand Rapids Jayhawks under the lights of House- man field. The first half ended in a scoreless dead- lock after Don De Fouw had repeatedly booted the pigskin out of danger with deadly accuracy. In- spired after the intermission, Dick Higgs, frosh half- back, and Art Timmer, the Grandville Gazelle, out- fianked Cfs defenses for the first tally. Roy Davis, sophomore sensation, converted and later booted a field goal from the 18-yard line to win the game 10-0. In the first game under the local lights, the indubi- table Dutch spirit would not yield to the incessant pounding of the heavier and more experienced grid machine of Ypsilanti State Normal, and when the final gun sounded, neither goal had been crossed. The backfield showed great potentialitiesg however, the line showed upto be poor in blocking. Hopes for a championship or second berth in the M. I. A. A. skyrocketed after the Hollanders' sortie against the dynamite of the veteran Alma Scots. Un- daunted by a muddy field, the underdogs ploughed and passed their way repeatedly deep into Alma territory and scored on a bullet pass from Timmer 95 Coach Hinga tried out a wide variety of starting line-ups. both in practice and competition. This one formed with an to Higgs. The Scotsmen fiercely retaliated with Kirby, Carey, and Tait blitzing Hope's defense for the tying score. Far from being mired down, the Dutch outran the Scots and twice more threatened the Alma goal, but a valiant goal line stand sent the Hopemen home with a 7-7 tie, and a moral victory. Morale hit a low ebb as Hope took a 16-0 trounc- ing from Potsy Clark's Grand Rapids University Lancers. The sparkplug was missing from the Hope machine as veterans Tappan, Timmer, Koop, Mor- gan, and Bekken were on the injured list. The unseasoned reserves fought gamely to the final gun, but were powerless to stave off the inevitable scalp- ing from the precision of the Lancer attack. Coming back from their walloping by Grand Rapids, the crippled Orange and Blue lineup rose up against Hillsdale with renewed vigor.

Injuries still riddled the lineup with De Fouw being the only regular without a limp. Don De Fouw, leading the offense against Albion, outran, outpassed, and outkicked the Britons for his greatest day in college football. The defending champs, however, were not to be humbled before their homecoming crowd after 15 straight victories. Capitalizing on the bitterly cold rain, they recovered fumbles, intercepted passes, and slid around end for a 7-0 victory over the hapless Dutch. Homecoming-enthusiasm running wild in Friday night parade and pep rally-Captain Tappan and company conceding no edge to Kazoo, our ancient Yell leaders janet Clark. jean Horton. Al Rypstra, and jim Burger kept spirits high at all games. 96 rivals-thus the stage was set for the greatest grid- iron drama of the year. Saturday dawned wetter than ever. Hope's gleaming white jerseys reflected the wearer's contempt for wind, rain, or Hornet. Kazoo, however, was also undaunted by the elements, and before Hope had dirtied her jerseys, the in- vader's T formation had splashed across the goal line for a 6-0 lead. Now it was Hope's turn to splash, and splash, swim, and skid she did until the begrimed stalwarts blended perfectly with the rivers of black mud flowing at Riverview stadium. Slowly they began to ooze past the Hornets' defense, and as the fourth stanza began they flowed right on over the Kazoo goal line. The conversion failed and the game ended with neither team gaining victory. Fog replaced rain for the last game of the year against Adrian. The backfield combination of Tim- mer, De Fouw, Higgs, and Karel pounded 80 yards behind beautiful blocking for the only and winning tally of the game. Undoubtedly the six-point margin would have been even greater if the Hope aerial offense had not been grounded due to poor visibility. As it was, however, the smoothness with which the Hope offense penetrated both the mist and the Bull- dogs' defense, proved that it was only the hand of fate which held her down to third place in the final M. I. A. A. standings, behind Alma and Albion. Before the Kazoo game was half over the playing field was a quagmire. Players sloshed about in deep puddles and With the Adrian game, Captain Tappan, Bekken, Vander Hill, Van Ommen, Morgan, and Hakken rang down the curtain on their collegiate grid careers. The bright spot in the prospect for next season is the freshman squad which showed itself of collegiate caliber toward the end of the season. Next year's squad will be led by Captain-elect Harvey Koop. Tappan, Bekken, and De Fouw drew well-deserved plaudits from their competitors by being placed on the all-conference eleven.

As King Football abdicated the spotlight, Crown Prince Basketball stepped up and took its bow. Uncle Sam had been kind to Coach Hinga by allow- ing Ken Vandenberg, Ets Kleinjans. Gil Van Wfieren, jackie Baas, and Long john Visser to return from last season's near-champion quintet. Bolstering these five were George Dalman, last year's frosh sensation, and the cream of this year's bumper crop of freshman cagers. Gym-hangers were predicting another M. I. A. A. crown-if they could stop Alma! No Hopeite had any doubt left about the might of the United States Army as the brawny soldiers from Fort Custer pounced on the Dutchmen in the first game to the tune of 59-54. The best that could be said for the collegians was that they successfully retreated by playing a great defensive game. How- ever, a preview of our potential offensive strength came three days later as the team outclassed Grand Rapids University 50-27. Sanity had departed from the Holland Armory as the teachers from Ypsilanti Normal invaded the locals for the first of many hair-raisers. A dogfight developed from the opening whistle with neither team holding the upper hand until the final gun. 98 Wfith seconds remaining, the score deadlocked at 28 all, and a hysterical mob tearing its hair, Gilday calmly strode up to the free-throw line and swished in the winning bucket for Ypsi. Again the Dutch took their revenge on the Grand Rapids Lancers by scalping them 54-51. Harold Gensichen personally defeated Hope in the fifth pre-conference game. Pouring in buckets from all angles, the sophomore sensation of Western Michigan College rang up a total of 52 points for a new individual scoring record. Four other W. M. C. students cooperated with Gensichen to defeat the Hollanders 47-43. In the initial M. I. A. A. game the Orange and Blue soundly whipped Hillsdale to the tune of 61-38, and in the next two encounters, the fast break of the Hingamen mowed down Olivet and Albion by goodly margins. Pre-season predictions that Alma was the team to beat were verified as the Scots steamrollered over the Dutch 54-42. Kleinjans kept the game interest- ing and the Scots worried by his consistent cross- court buckets. Exams over, Hope journeyed south to invade Adrian and Ypsilanti. The only difference between this Ypsi game and the dogflght several weeks earlier was the gymnasium in which the duals occurred. With the score deadlocked and seconds remaining, Gilday again planted a winning charity toss in the bucket for a 44-43 victory. In the other southern game, Sophomore Dalman led the Hope hoopsters with a total of 20 counters to twist the Bulldogis tail. Kalamazoo was the next victim before the Hol- land blitzkrieg and the Hornets returned home with a 44-26 scalping. Having tasted blood the Hinga- men next pounced on Hillsdale's hapless live. Neo- phytes Mulder, Van Dis, and De Vette played convincing collegiate ball as the frosh gave the regulars a rest and gave their school a 55-37 win. Never has a Hope team so completely devasted .1 foe as they did Olivet. Averaging between one and two swishers a minute, both reserves and regulars alike turned on the heat for 40 blistering minutes to set a scoring record for the Holland Armory. Impressed by the warm Dutch hospitality our visitors returned home with a 94-41 licking. A little more Kirby recalled his sophomore defeat and promptly dropped in a pair of winning buckets. Vandenberg and Visser retaliated to make the score 48-46, but the gun cut off their spree and gave Alma their second consecutive championship. In the last two contests Hope easily trounced Adrian and Kazoo, but the Hopeites found little consolation after the glimpse of another crown had vanished. In the 18 games, Hope scored 940 points to their opponents' 710. Visser, Dalman, and Kleinjans were honored on the all-M. I. A. A. team and Kleinjans was elected as captain of next year's cagers. Gradu- ating after a successful season are Co-captains Vandenberg and Van Wieren, Visser, Baas, and Manager Newendorp.

VARSITY B REPLACED FROSH BASKETBALL. ' r 1 4 - . The wealth of freshman basketball talent which turned out for the varsity this year prompted the organization of a B team to replace the frosh squad of pre-draft days. Nine sharpshooters who only a year ago captained high school quintets turned out for the opening practice. Coached by jack Schouten, the B team ended the season of ten games with only two defeats. Starting the season by bowing to the Pure Oils of the Holland City League, the frosh rapidly devel- oped into a smoothly working machine, the only other defeat being at the hands of the Zeeland Mer- chants, a pickup team of high school and college stars. Vifell-deserved victories were won over the Precision Parts, Dykema Taylors, Post Jewelers, and Keppel Paints of the City League. In two breathers from a tough schedule, the quintet easily defeated the brawn of the Hn Club, composed mainly of Hope grid stars. The only conference de- feats which the varsity suffered this season were avenged as the Hope B team twice trounced the Alma B squad. Outstanding and seasoned material for next year's varsity hardwood squad was assured as the individual brilliance of the ex-high school stars was moulded into the clockwork of Hope's traditional style of basketball. Certain to see action with the varsity next season are Hoots Rowan and Ken Leighton who led the scoring offensive this season. Merle Vanden Berg, captain of last season's Holland High quintet, showed up well on defense. If he keeps up 100 First Row: K. Leighton, R. Barkema, R. Brown. A. Vande Waa, Coach J. Schouten.

Also giving the regulars compe- tition next year will be Glenn Bruggers, Gordon Brewer, Herk Van Tongeren, and Bob Barkema. These boys made rapid improvement toward the end of the season and, according to Coach Schouten, showed up better away from home than on the armory court before local fans. The transportation problems accompanying the national crisis was a big factor in eliminating fresh- man M. I. A, A. competition this year, but had there been a league, our B team might very easily have swept through an undefeated season. Varsity B team beat the Keppel Coal team 52-28.

On I-Iope's campus, however, these activities were drastically curtailed this year due to the accelerated program and transportation prob- lems. Missing from Maytime sports were several veterans who had left their alma mater for the United States Armed Forces. Track was hit hardest as Slocombe was the only remnant of last year's cinder squad. Hugh Kinni- son, however, spoke well for the green frosh as he vaulted 11 feet, 5-Z4 inches at East Lansing to break the M. I. A. A. indoor pole vault record. Other promising material was found in Midavaine, Otte- man, Funston, and the Heneveld brothers. As the MILESTONE went to press, the thinclads were looking forward to a triagonal meet at Albion, and two dual meets with Grand Rapids junior. The M. I. A. A. outdoor meet was to be held at Western Michigan's track May 22. Baseball, although not an official M. I. A. A. sport, is making a strong bid to supplant track as the major spring activity. Ken Vanden Berg and Ray Otteman were the only returning regulars, but the pre-season prospects were promising. Games were scheduled with Western Michigan, Grand Rapids University, and the Muskegon and Grand Rapids junior Colleges. With King Winter still holding sway over the world, the raquet wielders of Hope were hard at work in the gym, rounding into shape for the com- ing tennis season. With a spring trip South all scheduled, the news suddenly came through of its cancelation because of the war conditions and the accelerated program undertaken by the college. However, the charges of Mike Arendshorst were not discouraged. Returning to bolster the hopes of Hope along with eager new recruits were Bill Tappan, Jackie Baas, and Howard Hoekje. Matches have been sched- uled with the Grand Rapids schools: Junior College, Calvin College, and the University. The annual rivalry between the Dutch and the Kalamazoo Hornets will be continued as well as an engagement with the potent Western Michigan netters. The beginning of the golf season found Art Tim- mer the only veteran reporting to Holland Country Club. At this early date, Bob Geldhart is the only newcomer certain of a place on the squad which has only four matches scheduled. Track, First Row: H. Kinnison, C. Claver, R. Heneveld, R.

ADDS TO ATHLETIC TREASURIES. 3 VY 2' I I .6 - l V 13:4 M Hotdogs, chewing gum, paddle-pops -that's the favorite cry of the A. D. D. girls. Yes, clad in their orange and blue sweaters, these coeds willingly oblige hungry sports fans with a little refreshment. Do you remember last September and October when football was in full swing? It was on those chilly nights, that the girls could be found under the stands at Riverview Park preparing their ever popu- lar coffee and hotdogs. Many a cold spectator has been sufficiently warmed by this hot stimulant and many a spectator has gone away dejected because the supply could not fill every demand. In November when all football paraphernalia was put away for the season, the girls followed the crowd to the local armory for the basketball schedule. This kept them mighty busy through the month of March. The popular seller for this athletic event was chew- ing gum, no doubt the desire was created when the games became especially thrilling and somehow the fans too had excess energy to work off. Athletic Debt Diggers is an organization com- prised of girls from all the sororities on the campus. In May of each year a dinner is held at which time a freshman girl from each sorority is elected to the M. Raffenaud, S, MacGregor, S. Brannock, M. Emmery, M. Had- den, E. Klaaren, D. Zeeuw, N. Boynton, M. Nagy, I.. Essenberg. OFFICERS President . . . Peggy Hadden Secretary-Treasurer Margaret Nagy W. A. L. Rep. . Mimi Moncada group. Officers are also elected at this time and for the year 1941-42 it was Peggy Hadden who ably pre- sided as president of the organization. Something new was added on the list of campus activities this year-the Saturday fun nights in Car- negie gym. The participants were in need of a little refreshments and it was the A. D. D. girls who profited by selling paddle-pops. In addition to having a grand time working to- gether this year, the books show A. D. D.'s finances to be over the top. And what did they do with the extra cash? Some of it went for athletic equipment. Included in this are those good-looking orange and blue blankets awarded to senior male athletes. W. A. A. also profited this year and was awarded some of A. D. D.'s hard-earned money. A. D. D., then, is an organization which is the only one of its type on our campus, an organization solely for service. We are indebted to the Debt Dig- gers for the splendid work they do. Not only do they serve the athletic groups of Hope, but they also serve the student body with an ever-ready smile and and armful of food supply! Here's to you girls! You hit the spot in more ways than one! 103 W. A. A. SPGNSORS SUCH SPORTS FOR GIRLS Successful . . . the one word to describe NW. A. A.'s numerous activities this past year. Under the able leadership of Lorraine Timmer the board has carried out a varied and interesting sports program for Hope's coeds. During the warm fall weather the girls enjoyed hikes, archery, and horse- back riding, but as the snows began to swirl, the girls betook themselves to Carnegie gym for an exciting basketball tournament. Playoffs went to Brouwer's Wfolverines and the climax was the upper- classwomen's victory in the All-Star game. During this same wintry season many a girl splashed to her heart's content in the Grand Rapids Y. XV. C. A. pool. Likewise, NW. A. A. made arrange- ments with the local bowling alley for the girls and their intersorority bowling league. Ping-pong, too, sponsored by the board, proved to be a popular sport. Another highspot in the activities of W. A. A. was the M. I. A. A. play day held this year in Albion. In place of the usual competition between schools, the girls were placed on teams regardless of college afhliations. In rotation the teams played basketball, volleyball, baseball, kickball, and ping-pong. Then, in the afternoon, each athlete enjoyed a refreshing dip in the Albion pool. XX'ith renewed interest the 104 J F. Dykema, J. Ruiter, N. Boynton, Miss M. Ross, L. Timmer, S. Bran- nock, S, MacGregor, R. Winstrom, Miss E. Lichty. G il . ,l. M X O FFICERS President . . Lorraine Timmer Secretary . . . Syd MacGregor Treasurer . . Carolyn Kremers W. A. A.'ers returned to Holland and sponsored similar play days for Hope's coeds. In the spring the young girls' fancies rightly re- turned to thoughts of horseback riding, archery, soft- ball, and particularly tennis. After the completion of the annual tennis tournament five fair racketeers were selected to journey Kazooward to engage the Western netters and then continued to Olivet to enter the M. I. A. A. tournament. Some of the credit for the Physical Education course in which several education students partici- pated this past year goes to W. A. A., for it was through the cooperation of the board and jack Schouten that the course was realized. In such a compilation as this of W. A. A.'s accom- plishments mention must not be omitted of the float which the board entered for the first time in the Homecoming parade. Since it was not a regular society float it could not compete for the grand prize, however, it was given honorable mention by the judges. Because of W. A. A.'s success in developing a sports program for the girls of the campus, the or- ganization not only commands respect locally but exerts a great deal of influence in M. I. A. A. as well. AS BOWLING, BASKETBALL, AND TENNIS. W. A. A. keglers bowled every Friday afternoon from December through March with about thirty coeds turning out each week. Frequently the high score for the week was rolled by Helen Mae Heasley, who often hit 170 or better. She is seen in the first picture below just as she was about to start the ball down the alley. Wiping her hands while waiting her turn is Dorothy De Valois. Dolly Kamps is keeping score and Frances Hillebrands is looking on. This spring W. A. A. sponsored a women's tennis team under the chairmanship of jean Ruiter. On May 7 the squad went to Kalamazoo to play Western Michigan College where they won two doubles matches, but lost all five singles tilts. The following two days the girls went to Olivet to take part in the M. I. A. A. tournament. Two contenders for places on the team were Jean Horton and Sally Brannock who were seen on the courts nearly every afternoon this spring. An innovation this year was archery. There were no feminine William Tells so the program was one of instruction. Throughout April and May targets were put up on the college playing field. At first a hit on even the edge of the target brought an excla- mation of pride, but as proficiency increased hits in the outer ring became quite common. Below is pic- tured Vernon Meerdink ,student assistant to jack Schouten, helping Jane Waldbillig master the sport. Another new W. A. A. activity was the inter- sorority softball league. Two games were played each Tuesday night after Y. The MILESTONE photographer attended the Sorosis-Sybylline game and brought back the picture below.

On june 4, 1941, the Hope College student body and faculty turned out in the sunken gardens for a breaking ground ceremony. Dr. XVichers turned over the first shovel- ful of dirt and was followed by Tossy Welmers and all the science professors. On june 18, the new Science Building was dedicated by dignitaries of the Reformed Church after commencement ceremonies. 106 When school reopened in September, the first story was up and concrete was being poured for the second. By the first of the new year the roof was going on. Plastering and woodwork soon followed, as the pictures of the masons in the hall and the carpenter in the science library illustrate. - During the whole process of construction, Dr. Wichers was seen daily making his anxious inspection. Here he is seen in the biology lecture room early in May. CONSTRUCTION OE A SCIENCE BUILDING. The Science Building-how proud we are of it! It is both an expression of the living hope of Hope College, and a monument to her glorious history. It speaks of great things in the past and promises still greater things in the future. The cramped conditions in Van Raalte Hall have long cried the need of a new building to house the science department. Some time ago the church undertook enthusiastically a campaign to raise funds for such a building. Each church contributed gener- ously, and even the students themselves raised over five hundred dollars. It stands now, a reality: less than a year after its inception it is complete. Its firm Dutch architecture lends dignity and character to our campusg its many fine features will be a boon to future students. Especially fine are its heating and ventilating systems, designed to reduce at 'nl VV .M Y ts 'i 5 4 1 to a minimum obnoxious fumes and odors. The first Hoot will house the physics department and the freshman and sophomore laboratories. On the sec- ond floor will be two large chemistry lecture rooms and the junior and senior labs. The biology and botany departments will be located on the third Hoot. Besides its large lecture rooms and its con- venient and well-equipped laboratories, it has a spe- cial science library room. The space vacated by the removal of the labora- tories from Van Raalte Hall will make possible numerous changes and improvements in that build- ing also. Dr. Wickers has announced that the Science Building will be opened to the students for inspec- tion in the near future. Dedication services will take place next fall when classes move into it. 107 HOPE ENTERTAINED AND HONORED ROYALTY. gy, Sf. Princess Juliana of the Netherlands, along with Prince Consort Bernhardt and Dr. and Mrs. Alexander Loudon. minister plenipotentiary of the Netherlands to the United States Government, arrived in Holland in the evening of june 10, 1941. They were feted at a banquet in the Warm Friend Tavern. The following morning a special convocation was held in Hope Memorial Chapel for the purpose of awarding the princess an honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. The processional began at Dr. Wichers' home. Station WOOD of Grand Rapids transcribed the convocation ceremony and rebroadcast it twice that afternoon. That same after- noon a reception was held in Dr. Wichers' home at which students, faculty, and townspeople had an opportunity to meet the princess and her consort. Hope College students who attended the historic special convocation at which Crown Princess Juliana of the Netherlands received the honorary degree of doctor of laws, June 10, 1941, will have glowing tales of their glimpses of Dutch royalty to tell to their grandchildren some day as they recall those memorable events. Orange flowers and ribbons, in- signia of the House of Orange, were evident in many lapels at the meeting in the chapel, filled to capacity by 2,000 students, townspeople, and visiting digni- taries. The Princess, poised and gracious, was accom- panied to Holland, the Dutch settlement in America bearing the name of her native land, by her husband, Prince Bernhardt, who arrived at the adopted Cana- dian home of the exiled Princess and their two daughters on a surprise visit from England. Features of the impressive convocation were an academic pro- I 08 'lu 44, V X 4 .K .v A Q Q cession, appropriate selections by the chapel choir, and the singing of Old Netherlands Melody and De Zegenbedef' a Dutch hymn, by the audience. Her Royal Highness Princess Juliana was present- ed the degree by Dr. Edgar F. Romig, president of the General Synod, Reformed Church in Americag and Dr. Wfynand Wichers, college president, read the citation. Prof. Thomas E. Welmers had the honor of adjusting the doctor of laws hood of purple and gold. In accepting the honorary degree, Princess Juliana expressed her gratitude for herself and her freedom- loving countrymen, voicing the hope that a new world, a permanent union of goodwill among na-- tions shall be the outcome of the present struggle. She concluded her talk with the Dutch phrase, Lang Ieve en bloeie, Hope College, or Long live in blossom, Hope College. THE PILGRIM' WAS THE 1941 PAGEANT. When Dr. Edward Dimnent composed The Pil- grim, his genius marked another highlight in the history of Hope College. This pageant, written ex- pressly for the 75th Anniversary celebration at Hope, contains the story of Humanity down through the long ages. Humanity, in the guise of a Pilgrim, seeks its per- fect welfare. The quest is begun in total darkness. It ends in the brilliant light of heaven. The quest covers the centuries from the call of Abraham to the coming of the King of Kings. Universal salvation becomes the Goal of the quest, and its full fruition is pictured in the achievement of Hope College as a Church college, and its graduates active in the uplift of mankind. The pageant was cast in eight eposides, beginning with an introit, and taking up the Universal Promise, the Universal Kingdom, the Universal Call, the Uni- versal Redeemer, the Universal Church, the General Assembly of the Reformers, of the New World Founders, and of the Church Triumphant. The Pilgrim was played by Harry Meiners, and the musical leads were taken by Prof. Robert Cava- naugh and Gertrude Bolema. The remainder of the cast of 250 persons was composed of various mem- bers of the faculty and student body. Also included was a children's choir, and the Men's Glee Club of the college. The narrators for the program were Jeanette Rylaarsdam, Nola Nies, Vernon Ten Cate, James Mearns, Harold Colenbrander, Harland Steele, Dwight Grotenhouse, John Hains, Forrest Prindle, Theodore Van Vliet, and Blase Levai. The general chairman for the pageant was Prof. Paul Brouwer. Mrs. W. Curtis Snow composed and directed the music. 109 FRESHMAN ORIENTATION ADDS CAMPUS COLOR. jf? The freshmen were introduced to the Green and at an All-College celebration in Carnegie Gym. First to receive their colors from Doris Vander Borgh and Bill Tappan were Frosh Prexy Dick Higgs and Frosh Representative Merry Hadden. In the Frosh-Soph games, the boys-in-green held the day until the last event, the flag-rush. Their failure to capture the green pot at the top of the pole gave the Sophs the winning margin. An espe- cially exciting event was the bag-fight, for the field was a sea of mud. The Frosh gained back all they had lost and more I I 0 iQ ...'4.:zf'. ,N --s- - ' - E v' iff-4' - T -- when they gave their Soph antagonists a dunking in the annual Pull. The Soph girls did what they could to recover the honor of their class when they won the Nykerk Cup Contest later in the fall. Soph Contest Chair- man Lois Hinkamp received the cup from Bill Tappan. Last step in the orientation process was the sen- tencing of fifteen recalcitrant members to perform stunts on the campus and the Burning of the Green after the Adrian football game. Jane Waldbillig, above, was one who received a penalty. HOMECOMING WAS RAINY BUT CHEERFUL. Homecoming week-end began and ended in the rain, but the weather could not dampen the spirits of an enthusiastic host of student and alumni revel- lers. It all began with the biggest homecoming parade in the history of the college. Not only the fraterni- ties and sororities, but every organization on the campus had either a float or a decorated car in the lineup. Floats were kept covered up until just before parade time in order to preserve the crepe paper. Wlien it was all over, Fraternal had captured first place. Their theme was We'll Freeze Out Kazoo. The winning float featured a huge block of ice with an oversize hornet frozen inside. Also in evidence was an old-fashioned general store stove with the customary loafers gathered around to warm their feet. Second place was awarded the Emersonian float, which had a twenty-foot hornet on it. The theme was We'll Take the Sting Out of the Hornet. House decoration awards were also named in the pep-meeting in Graves Library after the parade. First and second winners were Emersonian and Knickerbocker. Their houses are pictured above. Wlien the parade was over, the MILESTONE photographer went downtown. There he found Mr. Robert Cavanaugh buying cokes for a group of alumnae who were formerly music students at Hope. Saturday morning was taken up with society breakfasts for alumni. In the afternoon a capacity crowd jammed the big grandstand to witness a mud- battle between the Hope and Kalamazoo elevens. The field was so bad and the mist so heavy that spectators could recognize the players only by the direction in which they were running. The big day came to a close with a banquet in Carnegie Gymnasium. On the program were two well-remembered alumni: Butch Powers, who led songs, and Rev. Lester Kuipers of Western Theo- logical Seminary, who was the speaker. 111 OUR MAY QUEEN'S KINGDOM IS OUR HEARTS. f-1 -.wQ,.,..- . 'Llp- .-f :Wifi 1 . o A, ,ar , . ji 2 Queen Nola Nies, M. Hadden. M. Clonan, R. Williaiiis. j. Rylaarsdam, D. Vander Burgh, D. Curtis. Inclement weather caused a hurried revision of the arrangements for May Day last year. Original plans had been that the new queen would assume her royal power in the campus' beautiful pine grove. How- ever, jupiter Pluvias intervened and as a consequence the Coronation of Her Royal Highness, Nola Nies, took place in Hope Memorial Chapel. The charming attendents of the queen were: Doris Vander Borgh, Ruth XY'illiams, Mae Clonan, Dorothy Curtis, Jean- ette Rylaarsdam, and Marguerite Hadden. 112 May Day was a great success in spite of the stormy weatherg and the promise of a prosperous reign was wholly fulfilled this last year while Her Majesty, Queen Nola, wielded the sceptre. At the time of this write-up, May Day is again in the offing. 'The queen this year is chosen by popular vote and her six lovely ladies-in-waiting are selected under the same system. So this year we'll be able to say more than ever that our May Queen rules our hearts. ' 'l I SOROSIS AND EMERSONIAN WON THE SING. Iris only a passing shower, hoped Doris Vander Borgh and her committee on June fourteenth, nine- teen hundred forty-one. The rain persisted, however, and at three o'clock arrangements for the All- College Sing had to be changed. Plans had been made to hold the Sing under the pines in the center of the campus amid swinging Japanese lanterns, and beneath the starry sky, but dut to Mother Nature's pranks the Sing was held in beautiful Hope Memo- rial Chapel. Lovely bouquets of pink and white peonies and green palms decorated the stage. Every- thing was in readiness for the performance of the Sing, an unforgettable event in the highlights of the year. The String Trio with Carolyn Kremers at the violin, Lenore Banninga at the piano, and Murray Snow at the cello, opened the program with selected favorites which were followed by a welcome by the Master-of-Ceremonies, Albert Van Dyke. To get everyone into the proper mood, Robert Swart then led the audience in community singing. While each group assembled on the stage the Master-of-Ceremonies gave a short resume of its his- tory. Each society sang one classical number and its own sorority or fraternity song. First came the Cos- mopolitans singing Sir Gilbert Sullivan's Lost Chord , followed by the Delphi girls who beauti- fully rendered Heinz Provost's popular Inter- mezzo g then the Knickerbockers gave their interpre- tation of the old negro spiritual Swing Low Sweet Chariot , Sorosis followed with Franz Liszt's haunt- ingly beautiful Liebestraum 5 a medley of March- ing Along Togetherj' America I Love You, and Anchors Aweigh was the Fraternal offering, the Dorians sang Johann Strauss' immortal Beautiful Blue Danube , the Emersonians effectively presented When Day Is Donen by Dr. Robert Katscherg the Sibyllines harmoniously contributed Carmena by H. Lane Wilson, the Independents brought the con- test to a close with a humorous rendition of Paul Towner's Old King Cole and ended on a more serious note with Robert Cavanaugh's Hope Col- lege Hymn. While the judges, Mrs. E. Telling, Mrs. Stuart Ludlow, and Mr. Willis Diekema retired to make their decision on the basis of diction, intonation, attack and release, appearance, and originality, the audience again joined in singing a few old favorites under the directorship of Bob Swart. Anxious min- utes passed, and finally the judges gave the long- awaited decision. Due to Barbara Dee Folensbee's original arrangement of Liebestraum, and the out- standing singing of the Sorosis Song with a unique lighted baton maneuvered by Carolyn a slowly darkened room, the Sorosites awarded the loving cup presented by effect of a Kremers in were again Mrs. Grace Fenton in 1940. The Emersonians in their white jackets and dark trousers with Al Shiphorst at the baton, won the men's cup presented by Alcor, 1941. When Day Is Done followed by the Emersonian Song was the successful choice for the fraternity, and their melo- dious rendition won them the envied first place. Thus the second contest of its kind was brought to a close, and, with the harmonious strains of the evening's music lingering on their lips, musical Hopeites left the halls of the beautiful chapel. 113 SELECTION EOR ALCOR OR BLUE KEY IS 1- In May, 1941, fourteen happy girls were tapped and admitted into Alcor, the senior girls' honorary sorority. Al- though Alcor is only five years old, her influence and achievements have been R readily recognized on Hope's campus. The raised star of Alcor with its blue A represents the high qualities which are necessary to become a member of this organization. Her members may be only those senior girls who have excelled in scholarship, participation in campus activities, and character during the first three years of their college life. Alcor is the only such organi- zation for women on the campus and membership carries with it obligations and duties as well as privi- leges and honor. XVith Mrs. NW. C. Snow and Mrs. Peter Prins as patronesses and Dean E. E. Lichty as faculty advisor, Alcor this year started off with a bang. Home- coming emblems in the form of wooden victory shoes were painted and sold on the campus. Wfhen Tues- day night came around, the Alcor girls were seen carrying trays of sandwiches and milk through the halls of Voorhees and often the fraternity houses were visited. The Alcor girls of 1942 will also be remembered for their originality in social activities. The Dean's 114 First Row: N. Nies, L. Clonan, L. Timmer. M. Hadden, C. Kremers. Second Row: A. De Young, B.

Each year the Alcor girls also leave a gift for their alma mater. One year an enclosed bulletin board was installed on the main floor of Van Raalte Hall, last year the group purchased a cup on which each year the name of the winner of the College Sing is engraved and the group also left a special gift for the new Science Building. May Day 1942 made these outstanding junior girls happy: Barbara Folensbee, Edith Klaaren, Mildred Timmer, Winifred Rameau, jean Ruiter, and Irma Stoppels. Yes, they were tapped and admitted into Alcor. Alcor may be well proud of her class of '43 and for her unusually large, and unusually talented class of '42. Her members are our leaders and we salute them for their scholarship, character, and leadership.- Alcor is proud of the part she plays in stimulating and developing a line type of college girl. May her bright star continue to shine brightly on I-Iope's campus during the years to come. THE GREATEST HONOR EOR ANY STUDENT. Blue Key has written another glorious chapter on the pages of its history at Hope College. Organized at the University of Florida in 1924, Hope's chapter was admitted in 1932, and year- ly has been one of the outstand- ing groups on the campus. Only senior men who have distinguished themselves for high scholarship, outstanding leadership and service to the college, and active participation in campus affairs are eligible to membership. The Blue Key is the highest attainment possible for a campus man and an honor sought by every male Hopeite. Q if-Le '-fx. T VV x Ten men were tapped in the spring of 1941 to form the nucleus of the society. These were aug- mented by three more men at the beginning of the fall semester of 1941. Meanwhile, Jay Witte de- parted to serve in the armed forces of his country. Out of this group of honor men Blase Levai had the presidency bestowed upon him along with Martin Bekken, vice presidentg Gilbert Van Wieren, secre- tary-treasurerg and R. jack Baas, corresponding secretary. The purpose of Blue Key is aptly epitomized in its motto, Serving We Live. How ably this ideal has been upheld is evidenced by the many functions of which it has had its part. The Blue Key bookstore with its forever first hand bargains, that absolute and principal directory of every student, the Student Guide, those never failing football and basketball programs which were hawked over grandstand and bleachers, and those novel notebooks and bookmarks that were distributed free of charge, were all just a part of the great service this organization has given to the students this year. Then, too, Blue Key took an early lead for defense with their concentrated drive to sell defense stamps and bonds. Socially too, Blue Key holds a prominent campus position. Its annual Spring Formal is the outstand- ing social event of the college calendar. Nothing is more eagerly sought after by a coed than an invi- tation to this party. Professor Milton Hinga was the group adviser, aided by honorary faculty members, Professors Mc- Lean, Raymond, Kleinheksel, and Lampen. As a final tribute and remembrance to the college the fraternity presented a sound and movie projector to be used in the new science building. First Row: J. Baas, J. Visser, M. Bekken, E. Morgan.

In a fantastic comedy-drama the Class of '42 pre- sented the annual senior play during Tulip Time. The play, Smilin' Through, portrayed the story of the spirit of a woman who returned to help a pair of young lovers achieve the happiness of which she had been thwarted fifty years previous when a bullet from the gun of a jealous suitor killed her on the eve of her wedding. The first and third acts took place during XX'orld Vifar I, while the second act was laid fifty years before. ln rehearsal for the last scene. in which Uncle john gives in to Kathleen and Ken. Included in the cast were Jeanette Rylaarsdam as Kathleen, james Baar as john, Charles Boonstra as Owen, Marian Van Zyl as Ellen, Blase Levai as Ken- neth, Nola Nies as Moonyeen, and Nancy Boynton as Mary. For the second act Dorothy Shramek played the part of Mary, Gordon Girod that of john, George Vanderhill, Oweng and Donald Van Ark, the villain, Jeremiah Wayne. Dolly Kamps was assistant direc- tor, and other members of the senior class played minor parts or served on committees. Student Director Dolly Kamps gives instructions to man- agement chairmen concerning behind-the-scenes business. 116 SENIORS' CROWNING DAY IS COMMENCEMENT. On june 3rd 109 members of the class of 1942 will be re-enacting the scenes on this page, which were taken from the commencement exercises of the class of '4l. Only it will be Valedictorian Wfilliam Tappan making a final check of his address, Saluta- torian Bernice Oatmen adjusting her cap, and third and fourth honor students Robert Emmick and Morris Tardiff who will be standing by them. This year's graduating class is unusual in that its four top students will all receive their A.B. degrees Summa Cum Laude. Last year the four students with highest rankings were Phillip Waallces, Marven Den Herder, Bertha Vis, and Gordon Van Wyk. The platform picture shows Waalkes about to walk across and receive his diploma. 117 ADVERTISERS MAKING THIS DISTRIBUTORS OIL PRODUCTS SINCLAIR REEINING COMPANY Ray N.
