— And to the republic for which it stands, One nation. indivisible. with liberty And justice for all.” isked by Junior Class Hope College Edit or L. Bel'tman. Bus. Mgr - R a n Dozer TO NE-4 DEDICATION... To those of our student body with whom we have lived during the past three years: to those with whom we have studied; those with whom we have frater- nized; to those with whom we have worshipped; those with whom we have engaged in all collegiate activities, curricular and extra-curricular; to those with whom we have experienced both laughter and sadness, joy and sorrow, those whom we have loved, and those who have loved us; to those young men of our number who have answered their nation's call to serve God and Country; those who are giving their happiness, their youthful vitality, and their life blood to preserve life, liberty, and democracy on the earth; to those former Hopeites, we, the Class of Nineteen Hundred Forty- four, dedicate our 1943 MILESTONE. The hoary colleges look down On careless boys at play But when the bugles sounded war They put their games away 3 [TV THE ACTIVITIES IN HOPE COLLEGE PRESENTED IN FIVE DIVISIONS . . .

This past year has seen many changes on the American College Campus, and Hope College has been in no way an exception. We have seen our student body grow smaller week by week as approximately one hundred fifty men left their college studies to serve in the armed forces of our country. As members of the staff produc- ing this yearbook, we have endeavored to present these changes within the pages of this volume as they have affected our col- lege life throughout the past academic year. Producing a yearbook under these changing conditions has pre- sented its difficulties and trials—at the end of the first semester it was found necessary to reduce our plans considerably to con- form to such wartime exigencies; the business staff similarly experienced the consequences of these wartime circumstances. However, we have altered our layouts accordingly, and now present to you our revised War Edition of the MILESTONE- we hope you will like it. f THE EDI'FORS OUR PRESIDENT WYNAND WICHERS Dr. Wynand Withers, who received his A.B. from Hope, his M.A. from the University of Michigan, his Litt.D. from Rutgers, and was made a Knight of the Order of Orange Nassau by Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, has been President of Hope College since 1931. After teaching history at Hope for several years. Dr. Wichers left the campus and entered into business. Later he was called back to Hope to serve as Presi- dent of the College. Probably the paramount achievement of Dr. Wichers’ service to the College has been his tireless efforts towards the planning, financing, and construction of the New Science Building which was dedicated last fall. Friends and alumni of Hope College will long look upon the presidency of Dr. Wichers as an outstanding contribu- tion to the success of this institution of higher learning. 8 9 BOARD OF TRUSTEES The Board of Trustees is more than a Shadowy name with which to frighten little coeds. It is the main- spring, the final authority, of the college; it is a group of faithful and hard-working men and women, giving generously of time ami money, whose unfail- ing interest and sound, careful judgments make Hope College the alive and progressive institution which it is. The Board of Trustees is made up of nine members elected by the General Synod of the Reformed Church in America and two members from each classis in the Particular Synods of Chicago and Iowa. President of the Board this year was I)r. John Dyk- stra. Rev. Jacob Prins was elected to the vice-presi- dency to serve for Rev. Henry Ter Keurst, who is on leave of absence. Rev. William Pyle is secretary of the Board; Mr. Henry Winter is treasurer. Dr. Wichers is a member ex officio. This year, the Board met on the twenty-seventh of April and voted to eliminate the regular June meet- ing as being too close to the earlier session, since Commencement this year is on the second of June. A fall meeting is subject to call if necessary. The great problem discussed at this year's confer- ence was the academic program for next year. Be- cause the army and navy are taking over the edu- cation of most of the young men of Hope, interest centered on new courses for women, practical courses such as pre-nursing chemistry, household physics, and secretarial work. A course in home economics has also been tentatively discussed, but no definite- plans have been made for this. The trustees face the difficult situations ahead with the firm determination to carry Hope through to even wider fields of service. The Board made public this spring the gift to the college of a sound projector. Two other gifts from certain of the trustees themselves were acknowledged. A gift of three thousand dollars is to be used for a quadrangle, a great improvement to the college- grounds. Work was begun almost at once, so that the new walks will be completed at the opening of the fall term. Another gift of twelve hundred dol- lars will be used for new equipment. In these uncertain times, the very existence of small liberal arts colleges is threatened. The Board of Trustees, to whom the welfare of Hope College is vitally important, meets the challenge with faith, courage, and unstinting effort. In matters left to their efforts, Hope College will come through with flying colors. First Row: Dr. C. H. Spaan, Dr. W. Wichcrs, Mr . J. W. Beards lee, Mr. H. M. I.icsvcld, Dr. J. A. Dykstra, Rev. H.

Diminutive Elizabeth Lichty, Dean of Women, has her finger in more pies than anybody can count. As dean, she takes a sympathetic interest in the personnel, vocational, and academic problems of the girls of the college, giving unsparingly of her time for individual conferences with all new girls, and with any girl who wants to talk over a problem with her. Every spring she writes out dozens of carefully thought out recommendations for senior girls. She is an ex officio member of W. A. L. and W. A. A. boards, of faculty committees on social affairs and on student guidance; she is an advisor to Alcor, the Voorhees-Van Vleck house-board, and French Club! She takes in her stride such extra curricular activities as knitting for a brand-new nephew, a full social calendar, and planning meals for the dorm while Mrs. Van Zomeren is sick! The row of letters after her name stand for a Bachelor of Arts degree from Lake Forest College, and Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees form the University of Wisconsin. Head man in the upstairs office is white-haired Thomas E. Welmers, Registrar, who earned an A.B. degree from Hope, and a B.D. from Princeton, spent a year of post-graduate study there, and also did a year and a half of graduate- work at the University of Berlin, in Germany. Thossy” is the man who attends to such matters as matriculation and credits. He's the man who tangles and untangles schedules, the final authority in academic programs; he tells the freshmen how many hours they may carry, and the seniors whether they have credits enough to graduate or not. The files in his new office contain reams of fascinating information about everybody on campus. From his tower he rules the fates of the student body, and not even a broken arm impairs his brusque efficiency! Secretary to the president is Mildred Schuppert's official title, but that only covers a small part of her duties. She reigns supreme in the main office. She is reception clerk and tuition taker. She sells bluebooks for Y. cashes checks, keeps accounts in a big book, writes receipts, keeps track of everybody from Charlie the janitor to Prexy, and answers thousands of questions about every- thing on campus for everybody on campus—in fact, as the saying goes. When in doubt, ask Millie!” This is all incidental to her real job as Dr. Wichers' secretary, but it never seems to perturb her. She has a cheerful smile and a helpful word for all who enter the office. Millie” is part of the college in more ways than one. for she is an Orange and Blue alumna, possessing an A.B. degree from Hope. Mary Bolema, general factotum of the upstairs office, also has an A.B. degree from Hope. Mary is officially Personnel Secretary, but, as with Millie's job, that's just the beginning. As Personnel Secretary, she writes letters to all prospective students, keeps files for them, and takes care of other personnel work; as assistant to the Registrar, she makes out transcripts; as secretary to the Army, the Navy and the Marines, she takes care of correspondence and records for Doc Raymond and the War (Pilot) Training Service; she is also connected with the National Youth Administration and serves as stenographer and typist for the faculty in general. In addition she carries on an involved and lengthy correspondence with a certain person in the Army Medical Corps. It takes up her spare time. II DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Edward D. Dimnent, Litt.D. At end Visscher Memorial Professor Daniel J. Zwcmcr, A.B. In sir ne tor in Business Administration To prepare students for work in the field of business and law, the Department of Economics and Business Administration offers a variety of courses. Classes are given in economics, social organization of indus- try, industrial geography, business organization and administration, history of economic development, history and theory of finance, government and eco- nomics, accounting, business law, labor problems, taxation, and insurance and consumer relations. Dr. Edward D. Dimnent is head of the department. This dignified, genial friend and advisor held the position of college president from 1918 to 1931. It was through his unrelenting efforts that the construc- tion of the stately Hope Memorial Chapel was made possible. Accounting instructor, Bernard J. A rends- horst, held the position of clerk of the draft board. Soon after school started Bernie” was promoted to state auditor of draft books and Daniel J. Zwemer took over his class. The class met at various hours of the day until they became early birds in the spring, and held the distinction of being the only class on the campus to meet at seven o’clock in the morning. The Department of Business Administra- tion gives excellent training to those students who are entering business, and an expert background for those who intend to study law. 12 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 19-13 was a very prosperous year for the senior education students, for none of them, particularly elementary teachers, found difficulty in securing positions. Of the twenty- live students eligible for teachers’ certificates this year, only ten were elementary teachers. Of the fifteen secondary education students, ten were English majors! The department of education reorganized and revamped itself this fall, and emerged in the paradoxical situation of having the juniors taking more education and the seniors less. The seniors received additional credit for their practise teaching. Prof. Winter taught the juniors educational psychology on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays, while on Tuesdays and Thursdays they all studied principles of teaching. Practice teachers in the elementary grades this year taught not just one grade, but several, and their teach- ing was spread throughout the whole year. Both secondary students under Mr. Vander Borgh and elementary students under Miss Hawes took the new problems courses, which were closely correlated with their practice teaching. Garrett Vander Burgh. A.M. Director of Practise Teaching, Egbert Winter, A.M. Professor of Education Caroline Hawes. A.B. Instructor in Education 14 DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH A required course has two strikes against it before it comes to bat. In spite of this, freshman speech classes progress with vim, vigor and merriment through pantomimes, impersonations and conviction speeches. In advanced classes in speech anti debate. Prof. Schrier consistently produces public speakers of whom Hope is justly proud. English, also required of freshmen and sophomores, takes an ambitious turn at Hope. Miss Oggel, Miss Connor, Prof. Wolters and Prof. De Graaf not only teach freshmen grammar and punctuation, but also, attempt to lay firm foundations for further college studies. Advanced English courses are taught by Miss Ross and Prof. De Graaf. In Miss Ross’ absence during the first seven weeks of the second semester, a temporary rearrangement of the English faculty found the Rev. Bastian KruithofT of First Reformet! Church of Holland assisting in her place. Library science, youngest and smallest of Hope’s courses, but mighty up-and-coming, turns out teacher- librarians, girls who can teach part-time and run a school library, too. True to the name of science, the course supplements lecture periods with laboratory work; the three prospective teacher-librarians now in the department will emerge with a minor in library science.

Assistant Librarian William Schrier, A.B., A.M. Professor of Speech 16 DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY Milton I.. Hing.1, A.M. Instructor in History History and social studies became more intensely interesting to Hope students this year and they enjoyed courses in ancient, European, American history, cultural history, and constitutional history, govern- ment, political parties and politics, anil international relationships. Head of the department. Dr. Bruce M. Raymond, was appointed defense co- ordinator for the campus, and was kept busy with the Civilian Pilot Training course which was rechristened the War Training Service. Instruction in cultural history is given by Metta J. Ross who takes an enthusiastic interest in current events and in Pan-American relations. Coach Milton L. Hinga teaches history and directs athletics on the campus. This spring he took over the class in air- craft identification at the W. T. S. school. IS DEPARTMENT OE LANGUAGE Amo, amas, amat . . . hasta lucgo . . . Du bist wie cine Bliimc . . . tres bien, n'est ce pas? . . . the Greeks had a word for it, too . . . but a rose in any other language would probably be a different gender. . . . The classical languages flourish at Hope. Prof. Timmer guides Latin students through the mazes of the fifth declension, Cicero’s oratory, and Caesar’s politics. Greek classes are populated for the most part by pre-seminarians, who burn much midnight oil working out translations that will earn the good word from the doughty Thossy” Welmers. Mrs. Prins breezes through the first two years of French with rapidity, leaving her students on Miss Lichty’s doorstep, where in the deep water of drama, novelists, phonetics and conversation, they discover they have learned something after all. Patient Prof. Wolters initiates students into der, die, das”, and the confusing German script. Miss Boyd finishes up with 'Herman and Dorothea”, the subjunctive, scien- tific German, and German literature. Youngest course in the language department is Spanish, also taught by the irrepressible Mrs. Prins. Spanish is a language with a future. But it's those perfect tenses that make trouble! Laura A. Boyd, A.M. Professor of German Albert H. Timmer, A.M. Professor of Latin Mrs. Peter X. Prins, A.M. Instructor in French Iidward Wolters. A.M. Instructor in German 20 DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC Robert W. Cavanaugh, A.B., B.Mus., Mus.M. Instructor in Music Mrs. W. Curtis Snow, A.B. Instructor in Music Mrs. H. Karsten Instructor tn Piano Now we can make all the noise we want,” sighs Mrs. Snow happily, surveying the new music building. This building, formerly the education building, is now equipped with practice pianos, rugs on the studio floors, anti a superb new radio-victrola, gift of the men's and girls’ glee clubs. The new building and the biggest enrollment in history, both in applied music and in theory, made this a banner year for the music department. Mrs. Snow, Prof. Cavanaugh, and Mrs. Karsten all hail crowded schedules. The department boasts six majors: Marge ITiesema and Ruth Probst in organ, Frieda Grote and Angeline Jansen in piano, and Helen Thompson and Bette Mulder in voice. On May 28, two senior music students, Marjorie Brouwer, soprano, and Adelaide Wandscheer, organist, gave a joint recital. Marge ITiesema played her junior organ recital on the afternoon of Baccalaureate Sunday. Hope music students, performing for churches, clubs, and other organizations, contribute much to the musical life of the community. I PHILOSOPHY AND PSYCHOLOGY Hope’s Department of Philosophy is headed by the able Dr. Walter Van Saun, who received his A.B. from Otterbcin College, his A.M. from the University of Cincinnati, his B.D. from Boncbrake 'rheo- logical Seminary, anti his Ph.D. also from the University of Cin- cinnati. He initiates his beginners with Introduction to Philosophy, a sophomore course. He next takes his juniors through courses on ancient and medieval philosophy, and completes the year with such courses as Logic, and Theism. Dr. Van Saun’s senior students study Ethics, a general course in philosophy of the moral life; American Philosophy; the significance of Plato in western culture; Contemporary Philosophy; and the philosophical appreciation of the aesthetic experience, or Philosophy of Art. Prof. E. Paul McLean, head of the Psychology Department received his A.B. from Hope, and his A.M. from Northwestern University. Mac’s” courses, always popular with students, begin in the sophomore year with General Psy- chology. which is merely a brief introduction into this mysterious subject. Prof. McLean's courses in Abnormal, Social, and Applied Psychology give students interesting case histories of psycho-pathic personalities, intelligent research into man’s social and group activities, and a practical knowledge of application of psychology in everyday life. Walter Van Saun. Ph.D. Professor of Philosophy V.. Paul McLean, A.M. Professor of Psychology 24 DEPARTMENT OF RELIGIOUS EDUCATION Hope College is a Christian school and a number of courses in religious principles and ethics are offered. All students are required to take one course in Bible or Christian ethics each year as part of their religious training. The Bible chair is held by the college pastor, Rev. Henry Bast. Rev. Bast is a graduate of Hope, having taken an outstanding part in forensics while a student here. His courses, always lively with enter- tainment, arc looked forward to during the day. as hours that relieve the monotony of a day in classes. He acts as advisor to the Y. M. C. A. and Alpha Chi groups. Head of the department of Religious Education is Rev. Paul E. Hinkamp. Gas rationing prevented his archaeology class from visiting the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago this year. He was chairman of the Red Cross War Fund Drive for the southern half of Ottawa county. Rev. Walter Van Saun heads the philosophy department. His course on the philosophy of Christian living for seniors is thought stimulating and always very popu- J Iar. He is interested in art and his classroom walls arc tastefully decorated with excellent copies of famous paintings. ■ Henry Bast, B.D. Professor of Bible Paul F.. Hinkamp, A.M.. B.D.

Professor of Physics With the appearance of a new building in which to carry on its work, the combined Mathematics and Science departments have come through one of the busiest years in their history. Science, mathematics and war are, seemingly, kindred spirits, and students have turned more and more toward the pursuit of such studies. Professors Vergeer and Thompson have had a busy session in turning out pre-medics and biologists, and Professor Kleis has spread out in the line of physics and has included Meteorology and other Service” items to the department's curriculum. The Chemis- try department has maintained its high standards under the direction of Professors Van Zyl and Klein- heksel. Wielding the mystic x” and dealing strictly in angles . . . sine and cosine. Professors Lampen, Vander Borgh, and Timmer have had their experi- ences in Wartime Mathematics. Not only toward the regular Hope students has the attention of these men been directed; they have taken several classes of Civilian Pilots under their wings and have seen to it that they knew their les- sons before taking Uncle Sam’s planes off the ground. In War and Peace Hope's Science departments ad- vance toward a greater knowledge for man. 28 3n iHrmnriam . . WALLACE RIEMERSMA Lieutenant U. S.

M HOPE ADOPTS WARTIME INNOVATIONS During the spring of 1942, Hope made careful preparations for securing a Civilian Pilot Training unit for the campus with Dr. Bruce Raymond laying the groundwork of the project. Finally, dreams were realized when the first group of trainees was sent here last July. In the fall the C. P. T. was renamed the War Training Service, and all such trainees were Arm enlisted men .trained under general military supervision. Upon completion of the present hanger construction Hope will boast the second largest unit in the state, with facilities for training 100 pilots. As a wartime measure, American colleges are accel- erating their courses, and, in June, Hope will enter its second year of the wartime summer session; the summer sessions enable a student to complete his regular college course in three years. Besides accel- eration of regular courses, Hope’s summer session offers special finishing courses for teachers, such as Theory of Coaching. Rural School Curriculum, and others, as well as several special courses of advantage to the pre-military student. Under wartime policy, Hope, along with other col- leges throughout the nation has provided male students with compulsory physical training courses. Under the direction of Jack’’ Schouten, the men arc- given such types of physical activities as calesthenics, commando training, and organized sports. The physical training course is considered recreational by the men of the campus, and has provided many a bright hour in the otherwise dull day of the scholar. 32 t-U r ; GRADUATING SENIORS OF 1943 SENIOR OFFICERS Everett Klcinjans, President Harvey Mulder, Vice President Betty Davis, Secretary Irma Stoppels, Treasurer The class of 1943 is about to lace a milestone in its life. Graduation this year will be different than in years past, but it will mean as much, or more, than before. This year Uncle Sam helped to alter things so that the class of ’43 is the smallest class of graduates to leave Hope in many a year. Smallness in number, however, meant greatness in accom- plishment. This was the first class to win the pull across Black River for both years. It named out- standing athletes—Harvey Koop headed the football team, supported by three fellow seniors: Padnos, Stall and Schaap. Ets Klcinjans was captain of the MI A A championship basketball team. The class claimed forensic honors too, with Cal De Vries taking part in a winning national debate contest held by the American Economic Association. Andy Veldhuis, Clinton Harrison, and Corinnc Poole were outstanding debators. Adding to these, unforgotten memories will be the musical voice of Marge Brouwer and the tripping piano fingers of Barbara Dee Folcnsbce. The class of '43 claims twelve Who's Who members, thirteen Blue Key men, five Alcor girls, and many others who so nobly served their class and school, and are now serving, or are about to serve their country. To the class of '43 we say—Hope's gain was your gain but now your gain is Hope's loss. 34 SENIORS LOUISE BECKER, Grand Rapids, Michigan. Education; Delphi. Secretary 3.

AND DONNED THE GREEN CLASS ACTIVITIES — ’42-M3 K hC ‘ Clinton Harrison First Semester Student Council President Allan Ween ink Second Semester Student Council President STUDENT COUNCIL COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN CONFER — ■ 50 STUDENT BODY OFFICERS How to properly subdue the freshmen” was the first matter the Student Council considered when they resumed their activities in September. Due to wartime shortages, the frosh were only required to wear gieen toppers this year and no bothersome tics around their necks. However, many of them found freshman rules too burdensome and it was necessary for the Council to hold many trials. Because the pull had to be postponed a week, (you guessed it—rain), it was held the Friday afternoon of Home- coming week end. From the banks of Black River many alumni watched the frosh tri- umphantly make sophs all wet”. Home- coming was climaxed by a Council spon- sored banquet at Carnegie gym. In November the sophomores took posses- sion of the Nykcrk Cup. The same night, freshman green was burned and penalties were exacted. Through the efforts of the Council the Library was opened two nights a week and Satur- day afternoon for a trial period of six weeks. The experiment proved successful and the new hours be- came permanent. Remember Dutch Treat Week? But yes! The skat- ing party, basketball -game dates, and bowling were enjoyed by everyone. Arrangements were made by Persis Parker, our social chairman. Then came the close of the semester and Clinton Harrison, our president, decided to leave lor Johns Hopkins and the campus elected a new Student Council president. Allan Weenink and Clinton, the incoming and leav- ing Student Council presidents, were feted at a Council dinner in their honor at the Tavern. Before we realized it. May Day came and soon afterwards Student Council elections were again held. The offi- cers are chosen by the student body, the president and vice-president from the senior class, and the secretary and treasurer from the sorority, fraternity, or independent group representatives on the council.

Barbara Folensbee President WOMEN’S ACTIVITIES LEAGUE V. A. L. is THE women's organization on the campus. The Women’s Activities League is truly democratic, for every co-ed can he a member. The W. A. L. Board is made up of girls representing a cross section of the women's organiza- tions of the college. With Barbara Dee Folensbee occupying the chair, W. A. L. faced War time realities and brought the campus through another socially successful year in spite of rationing. Assisting President Folensbee were Vice President Louise Becker, Secretary Dorothy Wichers, and Treasurer Mildred Timmer. Things started rolling the first day of school when each girl received a booklet which welcomed her to college and revealed the year’s activities and what she could expect. Then came the Orientation Tea to acquaint the new girls with everyone else and make everyone feel at home. A new feature for W. A. L. this year was the Defense Pro- gram, and the Bond anti Stamp Campaign. Some girls donated their time to sell Bonds and Stamps at the local stores and banks as well as on the campus. That the College Bond Campaign was also well supported was indicated by the sales which topped the SI000.00 goal set up. Another successful venture was the Penny Carnival of home talent held in the gym. All the proceeds of this affair were turned over to the Red Cross, netting them about $65.00. May Day again gave every student and faculty member a voice in the selection of the queen and her court. This spring event climaxed the year’s activities. Thus W. A. L.'s adven- tures ended only to begin again with a new Board, new officers and a new Queen to reign over the course of events that shall never die but live on ami on. 32 SO LONG FOR AWHILE” BIRTHDAY SPREAD” AT VOORHEES YOUNG MAN’S FANCY—VAN VLECK DORM LIFE VOORHEES ENTERTAINS PROFS BOGART KISSES BLARNEY STONE” ANCHOR ANCHOR 1942-43 had, as did all other functions on Hope's campus, a rocky road to travel. Yet a staff that was continually changing because of war's exigencies car- ried on to give the school excellent news coverage, good features, and stirring edi- torials. In September, the staff was headed by Editor Milton Verburg and Associate Editors, Mary Blair and Roger Koeppe. This trio pre- pared the foundation for the year's work and brought in a capable staff to carry out the plans. Dan Fylstra was the big wheel” in the News Room while Wendy Rameau handled the Society Page . Bill Moerdyk was the busy little man with a hand full of ads and a constant headache in the try-to- make-ends-meet” department. For features (those extra little things that make a paper worth reading) Ruth Van Bronkhorst rounded up articles covering everything from Keyhole peeping at Voor- hits” to the Measles epidemic and Prof. MILTON VERBURG, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Winter's fishing escapades. The Feature- Staff used, during the year, an estimated sixty-three pads of typing paper, nine typewriter ribbons, and six hundred fifty- two paper clips. However unreliable this report may seem, it tends to portray the cost of budding genius. SPRING CO-EDITORS MARY BLAIR and ROGER KOEPPE 54 After the last arm and leg was picked up at River- view Park, the Sports Staff went to work on a very newsy season and didn’t mind the task of record- ing such things as the MIAA Basketball Champion- ship. Howie” Koop, Bob Lucking, and Clancy Van Litre covered such scoops as were presented during the year. These embryonic sports-casters gave ANCHOR readers a clear, concise report of all Hope’s athletic contests, and went even farther in forecasting sports news. In this field, Anchor readers got the selections of these sports enthusiasts concern- ing all-conference, all-state, and All-American teams . . . and considered with the choices of the large news syndicates, the ANCHOR Sports De- partment did exceptionally well. Tek Klaaren chronicled the Girls’ Sports news. The beginning of the second semester brought many disappointments to the campus and ANCHOR staff alike. Editor Milton Verburg came to school one day with a formidable looking envelope containing his call to the Army Air Forces, and at the time of this writing is very likely composing editorials in the sky for all Nazi University students to read. Reporter Dale Fris left the staff at approximately the same time for similar training service. By mid- semester, two-thirds of the Sports Department were among the missing; Koop and Van I.icre marched off with the F.. R. C. for active duty. Efforts made- to fill such vacancies brought Associate editors, Koeppc and Blair to the positions of Co-editors and the sub-departments hobble along in their depreci- ated forms. This year has been one of great achievement and disappointment . . . Achievement in all things liter- ary . . . disappointment in the realm of great losses on the staff. These things were well received by those who spent many hours in the ANCHOR Office, and their work in the mastery of their own disabilities is highly commendable. Plans have not, as yet, been made for next year's ANCHOR (which many pessimists believe will be a publication of serious import dealing with such weighted topics as women's hats and Chemistry Experiments), but the present occupants of the ANCHOR Office leave to next year’s staff a battered typewriter capable of many more miles of print, the furniture, all syndi- cated stuff”, and the ANCHOR Will to Win” with Hope” for the future. The ANCHOR holds fast to the ocean-bed of democratic ideals. Top Row: Ciuis, Shiffner, San- dee, Van Wcjtenberg, Rcozen, De Witt, Christie, Cross, Hemmes. Second Row: Atkins, C.

CLARENCE DE GRAAF ASSOCIATE EDITOR and FACULTY ADVISOR Throughout the year, and more so in the final stages of the last semester, typewriters have been clanging and drawing boards have been busy in an attempt to give Milestone readers full coverage on the year’s activities. This has been an unique year in the his- tory of Hope College . . . one of great successes and great losses, and it is hoped by the staff members that their endeavors to convey the spirit and mood of Hope's march toward victory will meet with uni- versal approval. We have felt, greatly, the loss of many who were to have contributed to the success of this publication, but we have considered our loss as Uncle Sam’s gain, and those who have remained have filled the breech. This much we know . . . the recipe for a war-time yearbook is: Fifteen per-cent spirit . . . Ten per-cent inspiration . . . Seventy-five per-cent perspiration. May the product be worthy of the labor”. In the early part of the fall, Editor-in-Chief Larry Bellman set up his machinery for the present year- book publication, and the 1943 Milestone looked forward to the success it so earnestly desired. Then, the staff was picked. Gene Rothi who had been tentatively appointed as business manager was missing from the ranks; his newest assignment” was service in the Army Air Corps. Wendell Ander- son then assumed the business spot on the staff. Norma Lemmer was chosen as aide-de-camp to Belt- man and graciously accepted the role of Associate J5 6 Top Row: Roggcn, Vermeer, Soderburg, Vanderbroek. Second Row: Van Dyke. Blair.

Ruth Van Bronkhorst and George I.umsden were assigned to the literary duties of Co-Literary Editors, ami Roger Koeppc was picked to cover the Sporting News. In the realm of Art and Photography, Roger Prince was found capable of directing the watch the birdie” angle, and was consequently given the post of Photography Editor. Jack Krum and Phyllis Pel- grim became Co-Art Editors. The fine work in this department cannot escape notice in the early glances at the book and special recognition must be given for their close following of the theme of the issue. Cover designing was one of Krum's contributions. Other members of the staff include Mary Blair in whose hands lay the duty of covering the activities of YWCA and YMCA and all other religious works of the year. Rose Winstrom was chosen to care for girls’ sports and activities, and Donna Eby was the appointment for Senior Activity coverage. Dorothy Withers, Edna Blom. and Jim Wierenga found work on general staff activities. Then, as in all college activities, war crept into the ranks, and the post of Business Manager was again found vacant . . . Anderson was called to the colors, and Phid Van Duzer stepped in. (It is safe to assume that no more changes in the business depart- ment will occur before time of publication as Miss Van Duzer’s draft number is near the bottom of the list.) Staff Treasurer Clarence Wagner and John Kleis vacated their positions when the ERCU left the campus. This left all ail collecting to Phid and her staff consisting of Maxine Den Herder, Red .57 Van Dyke and John I'm a married man Vander Brock. The loss of over one hundred-fifty students from the campus brought on the necessity for much addition and subtraction and cutting on the yearbook's plans and budget. The loss of many activities fees made for more extensive search for revenue from ads, and as the maximum ad space was reached page after page had to be set aside as publication impossibili- ties. The continual replacement of staff members and the rising costs of operation were items causing many headaches to the staff and especially to Editor Bcltman, yet the shoulder was placed to the wheel and progress was not halted. YOUNG WOMEN’S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION With a top-notch membership of 120, Y. W. has completed one of its most inspirational ami successful years. First came Orientation week with Big Sisters, a beach party, and the all-college skating party- all to make the freshmen feel at home and begin many new friendships. The impressive candle lit Recognition Meeting came next, followed by many other interesting meetings- student or faculty-led sessions, quizzes, forum dis- cussions, fireside chats and talks by well-known missionaries. Under the leadership of President Florence Dykema and Vice-president Janet Clark, with the help of I.ois Mary Hinkamp who kept the records, Marian Sandce who handled finances, and the untiring efforts of Miss Gibbs as faculty adviser. Y. W. undertook many special projects. There was the Christmas box sent to Dulce, New Mexico, the Victory Book Campaign for men in the service, the ”penny-a-meal-during-Lent” drive for the World Student Service Fund, and the sponsoring of the Chinese Art exhibit for students at the Netherlands Museum. The annual mission drive directed this year for the mission school at Annville, Kentucky, brought in $700, and as a result many long desired books reached Annville and were the start of a new library there. Prayer Week, another joint Y project, was under the leadership of Dr. John E. Kuizenga of Princeton University, who inspired many both with his challenging platform talks and in the numerous personal conferences held during the day. Facing a new year now, prospects for Y. W. are bright, with the need for its program of developing body, mind, and spirit made even more evident in a world of change and confusion. In front: Dykema, Hinkamp.

Under the leadership of President Alfred Borgman. assisted by Vice-President Daniel Fylstra (succeeded after his February graduation by Roger Rictberg), Secretary Calvin De Vries, and Treasurer Leonard Sibley, the year was successfully opened with a membership drive which gained 110 members. The main feature of the Y program is, of course, the weekly Tuesday evening meeting. These periods of fellowship furnished a large part of the spiritual contribution of the YM. This year in the Mission Drive the students of Hope College pledged over $700 to furnish the library at the Annville Institute in Kentucky. Dr. Kuizenga made Prayer Week an inspiring experience through his sincere messages anti his pleasant per- sonality. The Chapel was filled on Easter morning when Dr. Richard Oudersluys opened Easter with his sermon on The Greatest Victory of All Time.” To round out the YM program, there was also the social side. Orientation Week intro- duced the freshmen to Hope and made them feel at home here. Chief feature along this line of campus service was the ever-present task of keeping up-to-date the bulletin board carrying the names and addresses of former Hope students now serving their country. And so the YMCA carried on a full, well-rounded program during the past year- serving mind, body, and spirit. What the future will bring we do not know. But of this we can be sure—no matter how small the group becomes, the essential spirit will remain, and will still inspire Y members in their endeavor to carry out the Y motto— Make Christ King of the Campus.” In front: Borgman, De Vries.

Only six years old, this senior girls’ honor society has grown to mean a great deal to each of its mem- bers and it is something toward which every girl strives from the time she is a Freshman until that great day in her Junior year. Alcor membership goes only to those outstanding Junior girls who have excelled in scholarship, participation in campus activ- ities, and character during their years at college. Alcor is the only such organization for women at Hope, thus its purpose recognizes anil encourages leadership. It means more than a high academic standard; it stimulates and develops a finer type of college woman, for its membership carries with it obligations and duties as well as privileges and honor. The Alcor girls of 1943 under President Jean Ruiter made lots of money with little or no effort.” Their first venture began at Homecoming when they let patriotism rule their mercenary minds by selling Football Defense Souvenirs. Their next successful scheme was to make Hope known all over the globe via Hope seals on letters. They also managed to keep the dormite” sweet tooth satisfied by taking care of all candy sales in Voorhees and Van VIeck Halls. All of this money goes into the buying of a gift from Alcor to its Alma Mater, practice of the Alcor girls since the beginning of the society. Money was not their only thought. The Alcor girls, with Mrs. W. C. Snow and Miss E. Oggel as patron- esses and Dean F. F. Lichty as faculty advisor, went in for fun and more of it. Their business meetings were always followed by a social gathering. Their main social event of the year was the informal dinner party, held at Mrs. Snow’s home. Alcor is proud of the part she plays on Hope’s campus. Though her members are few their efforts are great. Her members are our leaders and we salute them for their scholarship and character as well as their leadership which is evident everywhere. The star of Alcor shines brightly with the class of ’43; may it ever glow in the hearts of each of its members and continue to shine through those who are fortunate enough to reach the standards it has set up.

The exigencies of the war as they relate to colleges over the country, did not affect the success of our Hope College Chapter of Blue Key. Under the guidance of Professor Lainpen, faculty advisor, and President Don De Fouw we are about to conclude a really banner year for Blue Key Chapters on our campus. In keeping with the tradition and ideals of Blue Key our year has been one of service to the college and student body. Our year was initiated by publishing a Student Guide, containing home and college addresses of all students, plus telephone numbers. The Guide was financed purely by advertisements and given gratis to students. With the sports season getting under way, we printed Football Game Programs for all games . . . financed by both advertisements and a small sale price. For the basketball games, programs, score sheets, etc., were printed and distributed free of charge. Possibly our outstanding activity, for ourselves and for the campus centered in the Blue Key College Bookstore . . . making available to students at the earliest dates and all times, text books and other necessary equipment. BLUE KEY From these various activities considerable profit accrued to the chapter. In fact our profit for this year totaled to over three times the amount of profit made during any previous year. In keeping with our tradition we are returning it to our Alma Mater in the way of a gift. The gift we shall leave this year is a prominent share in a new landscaped quadrangle- being constructed on our campus. The war did not leave our chapter entirely untouched. During the course of the year Messrs. Koop, Padnos, Verberg and I.okker were called into the armed services; and Clinton Harrison left for Johns Hop- kins University. At mid-semester three new mem- bers were accepted into Blue Key: Messrs. De Vries, Kleinjans, and Mulder. Shortly after, our annual spring party was held. Rather than having a formal dinner party. Blue Key men met with their guests in one of the local fraternity houses for a banquet and evening of informal entertainment and fun. Though the future seems indefinite, we look forward to continued success and service to the college for Blue Key on our campus. We believe that this year has set a most worthy precedent for Blue Key in the history of Hope College. 61 MUSICAL MUSICAL ARTS First Row: Van Bronkhorst, Biele- feld, Schutmaat, Vander Lin- den, Prof. Cavanaugh, Mrs. Snow, Friesma, Snow, Brouwer.

For a two-year-old, Musical Arts is a most precocious child. The club sponsored four vesper services, on the first Sunday of November, December, March, and May. The free-will offering from the first three of these, which amounted to fifty dollars, was given to the Red Cross. At the end of the year the club turned over its treasury of almost twenty dollars to the music department for the purchase of records. Special music, both vocal and instrumental, could be supplied for almost any occasion by the Musical Arts array of talent. Musical Arts met the third Wednesday of every month at Five o’clock. The programs gave students a chance to perform to a critical but sympathetic audience before displaying their art to the general public. Students who have taken applied music and members of the Girls’ Glee Club arc eligible for membership. Marjorie Brouwer was president and Marge Friesma secretary-treasurer. When the Air Corps called Murray Snow, his duties as program chairman were taken over by Ed De Young. Off the record comments by faculty sponsors Mrs. Snow and Mr. Cavanaugh enlivened many a meeting. Esprit de corps . . . joie de vivre . . . name it and the Girls’ Glee Club had it. With Mrs. Snow as director, the girls had a lot of fun . . . frequent pot- luck suppers (before rationing) . . . and did a lot of work . . . two, sometimes three rehearsals a week . . . Mil Timmer was president of the club. Marjorie Brouwer wielded the secretary’s quill, and Dottie Wichers made the treasurer’s reports. Librarian Elaine Scholten took care of the music, while Bar- bara Dee Folcnsbce and assistant accompanist Barbara Tazelaar took care of the piano. The Glee Club sang at First Church, at Hope Church, and at Third Church; they sang for several vesper and chapel services. Their busy year culminated in a concert on the twentieth of May. with an unusual program honoring the Allied Nations, and contain- ing songs from Russia, China, England, Norway, and the United States of America. The Chapel Choir began the year with a flourish and a solid bass section. The choir sang for vesper serv- ices. and whenever a particularly impressive chapel service was desired. It again joined with the Holland 62 ORGANIZATIONS GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB Top Row: Follensbee, Lcmmcr, Wichcrs, Grote, Schoonmaker. Ellison, Scholtcn. Poppen, Stckctce, Pelgrim, Winstrom, Haskin.

Although the chorus of some three hundred and fifty voices was smaller than in previous years, the performance, under the direction of Mr. Cavanaugh, was one of the best ever heard in Hope Memorial Chapel. The Choir also made appear- ances in Hope Church and in Third Church. Early in the first semester, the Choir made recordings of two anthems, and were pleas- antly proud of themselves. Later in the year student directors Murray Snow and John Kleis left for the service, to be replaced by Edna Blom and Adelaide Wandscheer. Slowly the ranks of the tenors and basses thinned to a mere handful, until Mr. Cavanaugh was drivn to putting low altos in the tenor section. The chapel choir was a war casualty . . . but the memory lingers on. . . . CHAPEL CHOIR FORENSICS Standing: Aldrich, Fitz, Sibley, De Vries, Mackay, Steele, Ayers, Van Haitsma, Tazelaar.

Upon his departure in February, President Clinton Harrison was succeeded by Corrine Pool. Debate managers were Dan Fylstra and Vivian Tardiff; while Prof. William Schricr was adviser. In oratory, both men and women can point with pride at the record. Harland Steele, with his oration The House that Sam Built”, took second place in the M. I. S. L Oratorical Contest, and first in the regional Pi Kappa Delta competition at Tiffin, Ohio. Vivian Tardiff, speaking on Americans with Japa- COLLEGE In Oratory, the campus contests found Vivian Tardiff and Harland Steele, both Juniors, successful in the women's and men's competition. After being named the College Orators, these two were sent to Albion College to represent Hope in the Michigan State- Oratorical Contest. The results of the state compe- tition found Steele placing second in the men's divi- sion, and Tardiff placing third in the women’s division. In the Provincial Pi Kappa Delta Ora- torical Contest held at Heidelberg College in Tiffin, Ohio, Hope's representatives were again successful as Harland Steele placed first in the men’s compe- DEBATE Outstanding events of the debate year began with the State Tournament for men held at the Michigan State College in Hast Lansing on February 13. Teams representing Hope were Harland Steele and Cal De- Vries who won two out of three debates; John Ayers and I.en Sibley also represented Hope, winning one out of three debates at that time. The women proved their worth by defeating seven out of twelve teams at the Women’s State Debate Tournament at Albion held on February 20; teams participating in this con- test included Fitz-Smith, Tazelaar-Aldrich; Poole- Everse-Stegeman and Warner-Van Haitsma-Cross. Combined men’s and women's teams emerged from a strenuous week-end at the national Tau Kappa Alpha Debate Tournament at Manchester, Indiana, February 26 and 27, with thirteen victories out of a possible twenty-two. Teams from all over the United States participated in this tourney. Special recogni- ncse Faces”, took third place at both the M. I. S. L. and Pi Kap contests. These orations were also given before many local groups. Pi Kap member Calvin De Vries also participated in a national intercollegiate radio debate contest on the subject of competitive enterprise in the post-war world. He won first place in the regional compe- tition at Toledo, Ohio, and was only eliminated at the national semi-finals. At the meeting of April 7th, the following members were initiated: Barbara Tazclaar, Mary Elizabeth Aldrich, Elizabeth Warner, Harland Steele, and John Ayers. At this time, Steele was elected president for next year, Tardiff vice-president, Tazclaar reporter, Aldrich and Ayers debate managers. ORATORY tition, and Vivian Tardiff took third honors in the women’s group. Cal De Vries, senior orator of the campus, made his Alma Mater proud when he placed in the semi-finals of the National Intercollegiate Radio Debate Contest, sponsored by the American Economic Foundation. The semi-finals of this competition consisted of nine- regional contests throughout the nation at which each contestant presented an oration over the radio. The finals were later held in Radio City, N. Y. Cal honored Hope by placing first in the regional compe- tition at Toledo, Ohio. SQUADS tion came to the women's team of Poole-Tardiff, who were undefeated in five debates. Other teams taking part were Fitz-Smith, Tazelaar-Aldrich, Sibley-Ayers, and Steele-De Vries. At the annual Provincial Pi Kappa Delta Tourna- ment held at Heidleberg College in Tiffin, Ohio the outstanding team representing Hope- was the Steele- De Vries combination which emerged from the con- test with several victories to their credit. On Satur- day, March 13, several frosh represented Hope at the State Freshman Debate Tournament. In this tournament Hope’s debaters made an outstanding record with the men's team consisting of Bill Brandli and AI Staver winning first place. The fairer sex took equal honors with the men when the women's team of Harriet Stegeman and Eleanor Everse also came home with first honors for Hope. 65 PRE-PROFESSIONAL SCALPEL CLUB The Scalpel Club, an organization of the pre-medical students of the campus, went into its second year last fall with renewed ambitions to fulfill its two fold purpose: to inte- grate the common interests of the biology majors and the pre-medical students on Hope’s campus, and to supplement classroom studies with added knowledge useful to the pros- pective profession of the club membership. The Scalpel Club began its year's activities with the election of Clarence Vandervelde as President. Chosen to assist him was Norm Davis who was elected Vice President, lulling the position of scribe was Persis Parker, while Bob Heneveld controlled finances as Treasurer. Scalpel Club programs consist of individual research papers and lectures by outstanding authorities in the medical profession or in the field of biology. Highlights of the year’s programs were Dr. Harold Dykhuizcn's lecture on the Social and Cultural Aspect of the Medical Profession”, and an open forum led by the noted author Paul De Kruif at the last meeting of the school year. CHEMISTRY CLUB The Chemistry Club boasts the highest standards of any pre-professional club on Hope’s campus. The membership of Chem Club is restricted to those students preparing for graduate work in chemistry who have a high scholastic average and are recommended by professors in the Chemistry Department. Programs for club meetings consist of papers, presented by the various members, containing exhaustive research on some topic in the field of chemistry. Under the leadership of President Earl De Witt, Vice President Gordon Schrotenboer, and Secretary-Treasurer Gradus Schoemaker, the Chemistry Club began its year’s activi- ties. Meeting every other Wednesday afternoon. Chem Club provided hours of stimu- lating research material for Hope's Chem students. Junior and sophomore members of the Chem Club must be ready to prepare a research paper before the organization upon assignment to do so, while seniors must be ready to prepare a full lecture for a club meeting upon request. For the preservation of the outstanding papers of the Chem Club, files are maintained—indeed, it is considered an honor to have a research paper selected for the Chem club files. ALPHA CHI The student for the Christian ministry in the chaotic world of today and the even more chaotic world of tomorrow is faced with many problems. To aid future ministers in over- coming practical problems of the ministry and thus to make their spiritual service more- effective, Alpha Chi, or the Messengers of Christ, hear addresses and discussions relating to the professional life and problems of the ministry. The speakers are usually local ministers, seminary professors, and men outstanding in the Reformed Church. Included on this year’s program were Rev. Kruithof, who spoke on the pastor’s library and the use of literature in sermons; Dr. Goulooze, who spoke on filing systems ami demonstrated his very complete set-up; George Douma, synodical missionary; and Henry Ten Clay, a graduate of Western Seminary, Class of '42. After the addresses, there was usually a period of open discussion and questioning, at which time refreshments were served. Officers for this year were Calvin De Vries, president; LeRoy Sandee, vice-president; Harland Steele, secretary-treasurer; Robert Wildman and Edward De Young, committee- men at large. 6C CLUBS Standing: Strick, Pelgrim, Veld- huis, Geary, De Bell, Lemmen, Van Alst, Scott.

French Club, and English Majors. All students taking second year courses in French or German may become members of French or German Club. Membership in the English group is restricted to students majoring in English. These clubs bring languages out of the class- room, shift the emphasis from noun and verb to language as a living means of expres- sion. a mirror of the customs and countries of the people who speak it. Informal club meetings also offer excellent opportunities for students and faculty to become better acquainted. Deutsche Verein is small but lively.

Business meetings under the gavel Of President Ruth Van Bronkhorst arc- short and casual. Secretary Betty Warner reads the minutes, Millie Burghardt makes the usual treasurer’s plea for more dues, and vice president Albert Hamel makes an appropriate remark or two. The club emp- tied its feeble treasury for the Victory Book Drive. Programs draw from the rich treasury of German music and literature. A program on great German music ended with records of Beethoven’s immortal Fifth Symphony, one on Goethe ended with rootbeer and pretzels. Members of the club presented a one- act comedy, sang the lovely German carols at Christ- mas. anil had a party at Miss Boyd’s home the last meeting in May. The Fnglish Majors alternated between the Emer- sonian house and the Fraternal house, varying the schedule with a meeting at Miss OggcTs home and the last meeting at the home of Prof. De Graaf, fac- ulty sponsor. Louis Chisman presided over the meetings. Donna Eby as vice president appointed program chairmen, and Edith Klaaren did double- duty as secretary-treasurer. Many of the programs offered in English Majors this year were unique. One was devoted to Gilbert and Sullivan, one to radio drama. The club heard Lynn Fontanne's recording of The White Cliffs of Dover, by Alice D. Miller. One of the purposes of the club is to stimulate original work among the members; the club heard with much interest the reading of original poetry by Milton Verburg and of a modern fantasy. Semper Fidelis, by George Lumsdcn. Cest la guerre” was the favorite remark in Lc Cercle Francais, but the club flourished in spite of it. Barbara Dee Folensbee took the president’s chair, Mimi Moncada assisted as vice president, Irma Stop- pels wrote up the minutes, and Wendy Rameau kept the accounts ... all in French. The purpose of French club is the development of conversation, and the ambition of the members is to rattle off French as fluently as faculty sponsors Miss I.ichty and Mrs. Prins. Meetings this year were short, to the point, and fun. Miss Lichty’s French conversation class put on a play, complete with villain. Tableaux of French Christmas scenes made the December party at Phyllis Pelgrim’s home outstanding. Miss Margaret Randels of Holland high school faculty gave a fascinating talk (in French!) on Mexico. And who will ever forget trying to play parlor games in French? FRENCH CLUB Standing: M. Scholtcn, Bielefeld, Atkins, Pclgrim, Schoonmaker, Bosnian, Fi.

The usual convocation service which marks the opening of the school year was featured this year by the dedication of the new Science building, in the Hope Memorial Chapel. The ceremony opened with an academic procession. The Rev. John R. Mulder, president of Western Theological Seminary, led in prayer. Scripture was read by the Rev. Willard Dayton Brown, secretary of the Board of Education, R. C. A. The main address of the service was The Weigh House” delivered by Dr. Louis A. Hopkins, director of the summer session, and professor in the school of engineer- ing, at the University of Michigan. Dr. John A. Dykstra, president of the Board of Trustees, pre- sented the Science Building to General Synod. Kuizcnga. The Rev. C. P.

Break- ing ground ceremonies were held June 2, 1941, and the building rapidly rose to completion in the summer of 1942. Today it stands in the splendor of all its tile and concrete its fluorescent lighting and year-around air- conditioning. ready for use by the scientists of tomorrow. HOMECOMING The twelfth annual Homecoming events, under the Co- chairmanship of Millie Timmer and A1 Wecnink, followed the theme of Hope for Victory, and Victory for Hope.” The celebration opened officially on the college athletic field, Friday night, October 23. A Giant pep meeting tak- ing the place of the patriotically eliminated float parade, was staged under the direction of Master-of-ceremonies George I.umsdcn. In the light of a mammoth bonfire, 'mid wind, rain and snow, cheers and songs were led by A1 Rypstra; and music supplied by a mock German band under the leadership of Bob Snow. Dr. Wichers and Coach Hinga braved the storm to speak a few encouraging words. Members of the football team were introduced along with a few remarks from Captain Harvey Koop. Saturday morning was reserved for society breakfasts and luncheons. Saturday afternoon Queen Edith Klaaren and her court were ceremoniously escorted to the football field where Hope's Dutchmen battled with the Albion Britons. The team put up a good fight for us—but in vain. Climaxing the weekend's activities was the big Alumni banquet held in Carnegie Gym. The guest speaker of the evening was Dr. Fredrick Yonkman, professor at the Col- lege of Medicine of Wayne University. Other features of the program of which Clinton Harrison, Student Council President, was master-of-ceremonies. were selections by the Trombone Quartette, remarks by Dr. Wichers and music by Bob Scheerhorn and the orchestra. Decorations for the affair were in keeping with the theme for the Homecoming activities. A red. white, and blue false ceiling of crepe paper converged to an American flag in the center. The walls were trimmed with insignias of the various service branches. Alumni and students alike enjoyably shared in this festive occasion, which marked the last Homecoming for the duration. 71 ROYALTY 1943 CAMPUS QUEEN Edith Klaaren QUEENS COURT ■ 12 Marjory Brouwer Mildred Timmer Barbara Folcnsbec Syd MacGregor Louise Becker Florence Dykcma «11 MAY DAY 1942 May day, biggest event of the spring of the year, is anxiously awaited by the Junior girls anti fellows, for it is on this festive occasion that the Campus Queen and her Court arc- chosen to reign over the campus for the coming school year—selections are made from members of the Junior class. Members elected to the Senior honoraries, Alcor for the girls, and Blue Key for the fellows, are also announced on this occasion. The whole- day is set aside for festivity—the morning for a girls track meet, and the afternoon for an interfraternity track meet, while twilight features the coronation of the new Campus Queen, selections for her court, and the pinning of the new Alcor girls by retiring mem- bers of the society. Following the coronation ceremonies, the day is fittingly topped off with a banquet, at which time the new queen is toasted by representatives of the student body and faculty, and new members for Blue Key are tapped by the soon graduating members. May Day 1942 was accompanied by rain, which made it necessary to postpone the track meets and hold the coronation indoors. However, quick changes of plans were made and coronation ceremonies took place in Graves Hall. Following new selections for the Queen’s Court and Alcor, Student Council President Bill Tappan escorted the new Queen, Edith Klaaren, to the throne where she was coronated by retiring Queen Nola Nies. The group then adjourned to Carnegie Gymnasium to finish festivities with the Annual May Day Banquet, where toasts to the new Queen were presented, and new Blue Key members tapped. 7} COMMENCEMENT 1942 GRADUATION PROCESSIONAL HEADED BY CLASS PRESIDENT JOHN VISSER June 3rd, 1942 marked the seventy-seventh annual commencement of Hope College, at which time one hundred nine degrees were awarded to the largest graduating class in the history of the school. William M. Tappan, Jr., a pre-medical student, gave the traditional valedictory address, and Bernice Oatman was named salutatorian of the class. The Wave Of The Future” was the commencement address presented by the Rev. Henry Vruwink, of New York City. Honorary degrees of Doctor of Divinity were presented to the Rev. Garrett Hondelink, class of 1900, and the Rev. Henry Vruwink. class of 1910. Dr. Wichers, president of the College, presented the degrees and awarded the prizes. The Gerrit H. Albers Gold Medal was awarded to Lorraine Timmer. The Otto Vander Velde Atheletic Award was given to William Tappan. Anna R. De Young received the Patterson Memorial Prize in Biology, and Robert D. Emmick re- ceived the Almon T. Godfrey Prize in Chemistry. The Yntema Prize in Physics went to Harry Frissell ami the Adelaide Prize in Oratory was won by Nola Nics.

FOOTBALL Nine letter men and several good freshmen prospects led Coach Hinga to feel that chances for a successful season were ' better than good”. However, it was not to be, and when the last gun had sounded Hope- had won one, tied two, and lost four of her football games. In fairness to Mr. Hinga and Captain Harvey Koop it should be noted that a few well timed breaks would have changed the complexion of things. Don De Fouw, All-MIAA fullback the year before, and Bud Karel, a great sophomore running back, were both injured early in the season and had these two been able to play the result might have been different on several occasions. Starting her season at home, Hope battled the Lancers of Grand Rapids U. to a scoreless tie. In the first quarter Higgs tossed one into the end zone to Nieusma, but Ed couldn't hold it. The Dutchmen spent most of the last quarter defending their goal against the Lancer onslaughts. The long trip to Ypsi seemed to bother the boys for they played listlessly the first half and trailed by thirteen points. A safety and Higgs's third-period touchdown set the stage for Hope’s thrilling fourth quarter drive which fell two yards short of the Ypsi goal-line, Ypsi winning 13-9. The next week's trip was indeed disastrous. The Hingamen got trounced 24-6. Twice Hope drove deep into Hornet territory, only to lose the ball on pass interceptions. Van Dis was Hope’s sparkplug and scored on a pass from Higgs. Hope's lone victory came at Hillsdale, where the Dutch spoiled the Dales' Homecoming 13-6. Passes won the ballgamc. Van Dis threw to Rowan for one touchdown while Higgs to Northoek accounted for the second tally. Davis made good on one of his conversion attempts. Harvey Koop, who was changed from tackle to guard, played an outstanding game. Albion ruined an otherwise perfect Homecoming by scoring in the fourth quarter to defeat Hope by one touchdown for the third consecutive year. Late in the second period the Hingamen drove dramatically 78 Hope 0 Hope 9 Hope 6 Hope 13 Hope 0 Hope 7 Hope 7 Scores Grand Rapids U. 0 Ypsi Normal 13 Kazoo 24 Hillsdale 6 Albion 6 Grand Rapids Junior 7 Alma 20 down to the Britons’ two yard line. However, a penalty set them back to the seven, from where Roy Davis’s field-goal attempt went wide. In the last period the lack of reserve strength on Hope's part told the story. Stevens intercepted a Hope pass on the 40, from where the Britons marched to their winning six points, crashing over from the two yard line. The next Friday Grand Rapids Junior came from behind to tie Hope 7-7. Higgs sneaked around end for Hope’s second-period touchdown. Davis con- verted. In the third quarter Hope drove to P. C.’s ten, only to have Blackburn intercept a pass and run it back to midfield, from where Grand Rapids tied the score. Alma, the MI A A champs, ended Hope’s season by thumping the Dutch 20-7. The Scots, led by Tait and Wares, completely dominated the first half and held a twenty point lead at intermission time. During the second half the Hingamc-n put on their best exhibition of the year, scoring once, threat- ening twice and completely throttling Alma’s potent attack. Captain Koop and sophomore Dick Higgs both made the All-MIAA team. Higgs, who called signals dur- ing De Fouw’s frequent absences, was chosen Hope's most valuable player, an honor which he richly deserved. Roy Davis, a great blocking back, will captain next year’s eleven. BASKETBALL Although four stars of last year's second-place team had graduated, sports experts around Hope's campus last fall predicted a championship; and, for a change the experts” were right. After all the thrills had been enjoyed, each basket had been made and the last whistle had blown Coach Hinga and his Blitz Kids” had behind them one of the greatest seasons in Hope's history. To give a detailed account of the entire campaign would take much more space than has been allotted to us. We shall endeavor to pick the highspots of a great year. First of all there was Coach Hinga himself. Any- thing that we might say in praise of his ability would seem trite. This year’s team merely reiterated more firmly what his past teams made an established fact: that Mr. Hinga is one of the Midwest’s outstanding basketball coaches. Along with Coach Hinga must go his team. Twelve loyal men, all of whom received letters, all of whom practiced faithfully regardless of how much they played and all of whom were interested in just one thing, that being, to play the game as best they knew how. We take nothing from the Coach or the capable re- serves when we say that the Blitz Kids” won the championship. There was Captain Tts” Klcinjans, cool under fire, a brilliant leader, a long shot artist and perhaps the best defensive guard in the state. And then there was Donald Duke” Mulder, amaz- ingly fast, a good shot, a great dribbler and the team’s playmaker”. Russel Rusty” De Vctte was definitely the most improved player of the year. He was a lanky, speedy, scrappy player; deadly accurate when within twenty feet of the hoop. George Porky” Dalman was tops as far as ball handling goes, a clever passer and best when the chips were down. Bob Gabby” Van Dis provided enough spirit and drive for two teams. Moreover, he was a constant offensive threat and a bulwark on defense. These five Blitz Kids” were individual and yet, team stars. No one cared who was high scorer. All they wanted to do was put the ball through the hoop as often as possible, and they succeeded. Hope’s first four games were of the warm-up type. They gave the boys much valuable experience and the team’s rapid improvement was shown by the successive scoring of -18, 58, 61, and 71 points. Hope’s fast break” was simply too much for the opposition. Captain lies” Klcinjans Ifllfllll Right after the Christmas holidays the flu struck Mulder, De Vette and Van Dis. Without Van Dis the team traveled to Kazoo for the important game with a powerful Western Michigan squad led by the brilliant Harold Gensichen. Five minutes after the starter's whistle De Vette and Mulder were on the bench, completely exhausted. After a dismal first half the reserves played well but Western won as it pleased 57-12. Everyone regrets the fact that the teams weren't rematched. It would have been a classic. However, the boys showed that they could come- back after a discouraging defeat, by nipping Calvin 42-40. Mulder, although still weak from the flu, proved to be the star of the game. Had Hope been in top notch physical condition the margin might have been wider, for Calvin rallied in the last five- minutes after the Dutch had taken a commanding lead. It was the most exciting game of the entire- year. The night of January 15 will live long in the mem- ory of all who were in the Holland Armory. That night the defending MIAA champs, Alma, came to Holland, led by their star forwards, Jack and Hob Howe. Everyone expected a tight, exciting ball game and for about fifteen minutes of the first half that's just what they saw. Then the Blitz Kids'' rose to the highest peak of the season. Each one of the starting five dropped in a basket consecutively. Hope walked off the floor at half-time ahead 27-18. Still most people expected a close game. In the second half a strong Alma team was simply annihi- lated by a Hope team that had everything: blazing speed, perfect passing and teamwork, phenomenal shooting and a will to win that could not be denied. 62 out of 64 points were made by the starters. Every one of the ' Blitz Kids” made ten points or more! It was the greatest game of a great team. The next week Hope thumped Hillsdale 85-32. This game was interesting because every one of the twelve men on the squad scored. Needless to say the crowd in the armory loved it. The Grand Rapids J. C. game, played in Grand Rapids, was indeed a thriller. The highly underrated J. C. boys gave a slightly over- confident Hope five a real battle. However, the Hingamen didn't falter when the pressure was on and won 64-60 after being tied 58 all with three- minutes to play. The Hillsdale game played on the Dales' home grounds was a record-breaker. Hope threw in 95 points to set a new MIAA scoring ... ., .j .

Hope also held the old record of 94. 100 points would have been scored easily had Coach Hinga refrained from substituting, although the subs made a generous share of the points. With half of Hope hovering close to a telephone, the team traveled to Alma to clinch the champion ship. At half-time the score came over the wire 24 all”. In the second half the Dutch proved that they had what it takes. Playing on the difficult Alma floor the boys pulled away right after the half and were never headed. Kleinjans played one of the great games of his long career as Hope won 51 43. The news that Mulder would leave for the armed forces the day after the second Calvin game only served to heighten the interest in the contest. All roads led to Grant! Rapids” and everyone was plan- ning to send Duke into the army with a victory. But, as so often is the case, it just wasn't in the cards . During the first fifteen games of the season Mulder made just twenty fouls. A little more than one a game. However, with thirteen minutes remain- ing in the Calvin tussle he walked dejectedly to the sidelines, fighting back tears that his great spirit brought to his eyes. Few will ever forget the sight of Duke” walking out of his last game. It was a tragedy of an otherwise glorious year. With Mulder out on fouls Calvin pulled away and won 49-42. Playing without Mulder, Hope trimmed Kazoo to complete its first undefeated MIAA season. All the five starters except Van Dis made the AU-MIAA squad. Gabby” was chosen the best spirited player on the team. Mulder was named to the All- State five and was made honorary captain. He was indeed The Duke”! Dalman was elected next year’s captain, and had Hitler not interfered, every man would be back except Ets”. Bird's Eye View of Second Calvin Game Scores Hope 48 Muskegon J.

FROSH BASKETBALL As in past years, Hope's second team, composed mostly of freshmen, played many of the preliminary games. This bunch of fellows, as coached by Jack Schouten and all, received valuable training and ex- perience which they may use some day when they play varsity ball. The team was composed of fifteen fellows, all of whom practiced faithfully and had a great time playing eleven games. Although they lost six and won five, many of the losses were by close margins and everyone played in almost every game. Those on the team were: Dell Boersma, Wes Vry- hof, A1 Hcitbrink, Bob Kalmink, Harold Mouse Van Wieren, Tony Kempker, Verne Kraai, Bari Holkebocr, Harold Scjueek” Hendrikson, Dick Loomis. Ken Rotman, Ray Heemstra, Don Schriemcr, Lee Roggcn, anti Gordon Brewer. The first five- fellows mentioned were on last year’s Holland Chris- tian team. Most of the games were played against members of the Holland City League. In the opening game Hope easily downed Drapers Market 30-17. The boys traveled to Grand Haven the next week to play the Eagle Ottawa Indians. However, the Indians had what it takes in the five-minute overtime, and won i i- 2. After a close game the B squad nosed out the 7-Up boys 29-25. When the Knights from Calvin invaded the Armory the B team made it unanimous for Hope by win- ning 36-20. However, after this victory came two 83 defeats, one to the Pure Oils, champs of the City League, 30-28, and one to the Dykema Tailors 40-32. The boys got back on the winning trail by trimming Keppel Coal 40-33. The night after this game the team made its longest trip of the year to Kazoo, where they played one of the best freshmen teams in Western State’s history. Hope scored many points but couldn’t stop the Kazoo fellows from scoring more and lost 72-40. After beating the H” club 41-24 the fellows went to Grand Rapids to try to make it two in a row over Calvin. Hope’s second half really fell five points short as Calvin avenged their earlier defeat 37-32. The last game of the season was a close one in which the 7-Up team came from behind to nip the B” boys 38-35. INTER-FRATERNITY SPORTS COSMO A , BASKETBALL CHAMPS FRATER A”, BOWLING CHAMPS As in years past the inter-fraternity competition played an important part in the campus life. The Cosmo five which saw the Praters snatch their crown in an over-time battle last year, came back this year and regained the basketball championship. They did it in a very convincing manner, going through the season unbeaten. The Seminary five kept the race interesting by beating everyone except the champs. The Cosmo team featured such stars as George Dykstra, Busty Van Dyke, Herk Van Ton- geren, Ray Biel, Roy Davis and Harvey Staal. Colenbrander, Voogd and Olthof were the shining lights on the tough Sem outfit. After the regular season was over the Cosmos proved their stuff by beating an All Star team 2-1-22. The All-Stars were Krum of the Knicks, Moolenaar and Heemstra of the Emmies and Van Lente and Koranda of the Praters. Despite the fact that a num- ber of the boys played in the City League, the season was a great success and will be continued next year if there are enough fellows around to make it worth- while. In the Inter-fraternity Bowling League the Prater A team won two out of three playoff games from the Seminarians to clinch their second consecutive cham- pionship. The regular season ended in a tie and the Praters won the last of the playoff games by only fifteen pins, largely due to the efforts of Ets” Klein- jans. who ended with six straight strikes. Cy Voogd. one of the season's brightest stars, bowled valiantly in defeat. Members of the championship five were Kleinjans, Les Nienhuis, John Vander Brock. Vern Kraai and Dell Boersma. Voogd finished with the highest average while Kleinjans bowled the highest single game and the highest three games. Bill Midavaine had charge of the league this year and did a very efficient job. All the games were rolled at the new Holland Recreation Club and the new alleys seemed to inspire the boys because the averages were higher than last year and a lot more fellows participated. There were twelve teams in the league. The Seminary had one, the Praters two, the Knicks two. the Emmies three, and the Cosmos four. The race was exceedingly close, ending in a tie. with two teams just one game behind. The Cosmos A S4 team took honors for the high single game and the high three games. Early this spring the Athletic Board decided that, due to gas and tire rationing, Hope would not par- ticipate in the MIAA spring sports program. Conse- quently the tennis and golf teams were abolished. However, ‘‘Jack” Schoutcn wouldn't quit on baseball and track. He organized a baseball team and as the Milestone” goes to press he has three or four games scheduled. Jack is also trying to arouse enough track enthusiasm so that, if given the oppor- tunity, he may take a goodly number to the annual MIAA field day. Also several tennis aspirants hope to arrange a match with Holland High. Since varsity spring sports were almost at a stand- still the Anchor staff wasted no time in sponsor- ing an inter-fraternity softball league. Fireman” Roy Davis was placed in charge. Roy got plenty of cooperation from the fraternities, each of whom was represented by one team. The games were played every Monday afternoon from four to six. As we go to press the league has just started and no cham- pion has been crowned. However, it looks like the league will be a great success. The captains of the teams were: Knicks, Jack Krum; Emmies, Jim Bur- ger; Cosmos, Roy Davis; and Fraters, Ets Klcinjans. Although many stars were missing, the annual inter- fraternity track meet was held on May 14 as part of the Mayday program. At this writing the results are not yet in. However, as in the past two years, it will probably be a neck and neck race between the Emmies and the Fraters. In each of those years the Emmies won. In general it may be said that the inter-fraternity sports program served a three-fold purpose. It gave a goodly number of fellows a chance to participate in athletics, it coordinated the fraternities who suffered by the loss of men to the army and created a wholesome rivalry between the various frats.

C.'s have that our own Hope Co-eds haven’t glamourized? Marching? Calisthenics (!)? -No Hope-ites have all this and a W. A. A. board backing them in every other sport—seasonal, non-scasonal, etc.---- This year it was Flossie” Dykema who was at the head, leading the board in the athletic program for Hope’s co-eds. Secretary and treasurer were Rose Winstrom and Syd MacGregor, respectively. The board, advised by Miss Lichty, Miss Ross, and Jack” Schoutcn, consists of both selected and appointed members. The two members elected in their sophomore year serve throughout their junior and senior years. In their senior year one becomes president and the other treasurer of the organization. All coeds are privileged to take part in these various activities. Due to W. A. A.’s success in developing its sports activities; it has gained respect locally and in the other MIAA colleges as well. Breakfast hikes, horseback riding, and tennis were a few of the many activities to be enjoyed by Hope’s coeds during the bright autumn days. The usual MIAA play day, which has always been one of W. A. A.’s outstanding activities, had to be can- celed this year because of international affairs”. Swimming, also, had to be omitted because of the lack of transportation. When old man winter came rolling ’round the corner. Carnegie gymnasium became the center of attraction as far as athletics were concerned. Starting off with a volleyball tournament, the girls began to get themselves in condition for basketball, which fol- lowed in close succession. Many thrills were to be had, along with the spills and sprained ankles, as the girls engaged themselves wholeheartedly in this popular activity. Many of the games were real thrillers”, with Ruiter’s Sharpshooters coming out on top, champions in this basketball tournament. 86 Every Friday afternoon, from January through March, W. A. A. keglers were to be seen making their way to Lievense’s bowling alley to try their hand at knocking down a few pins. The intersorority bowling league proved to be very successful, with the Sibylline ''IT' team emerging victorious. When the first balmy spring days finally” arrived, the fair co-eds were again anxious to bask in the sun while playing tennis, hiking, etc. This year W. A. A. sponsored a bike hike, a new activity accepted with enthusiasm. On a suitable Saturday afternoon the co-eds, outfitted in their not too conspicuous riding attire, selected a bike and pedaled out to Ottawa beach, returning with slightly” sunburned faces. This spring W. A. A. again sponsored a women's tennis team under the chairmanship of Jean Ruiter. Almost every afternoon, if the weather was favor- able, a number of co-eds were seen on the courts trying to improve their playing. In May the squad went to Kalamazoo to play Western Michigan College. The intersorority softball league arouses much en- thusiasm amongst the co-eds. W. A. A. started this new event last year and it has continued with an equal amount of success this past spring. Every 87 Thursday night at seven o’clock the girls were all out. doing their best to win. Of course everyone can't hit a home run, or catch the ball every time, but it's a lot of fun anyway. After all, it is only a game. As long as the players and spectators can get a few laughs, and have learned a little more about sports- manship from the game, it has not been played in vain. W. A. A. also sponsors the girl's track meet which is held May Day morning. There are girls repre- senting each class, and the class accumulating the greatest number of points that day wins. The girls participate in such events as high jumping, broad- jumping, the 75-yd. dash, and the relay. Girls start practising for this event a few weeks ahead of time so that they will be in condition” for the track meet. It would not be right to end this article without mentioning Jack”. Perhaps he, more than anyone else on this campus, is responsible for the excellent physical training Mope co-eds are receiving—not to mention their groans and aches and pains after re- turning from a work-out” in gym class. Here the girls are taught the fundamental rules of the various sports as well as participation in them. In this way they are being trained in sportsmanship as well as being kept physically tit.

ATHLETIC DEBT DIGGERS Perhaps the ’’hardest-work”, ' least-credit club on the campus is the A. I). I)., the Athletic Debt Dig- gers. This organization, composed of girls from each sorority, earns a good part of the money that keeps the athletic programs going. Clad in their orange and blue sweaters these co eds willingly oblige hungry sports fans with refreshments. More- over, they show that they enjoy their work by giving each customer a smile, without charge of course! All the proceeds go for athletic equipment, athletic awards, including blankets for the senior male ath- letes, and the Women's Athletic Association. Each year, usually in May, the girls have a dinner, at which the new members are chosen. These new members represent each sorority and arc members of the freshman class. At the spring banquet the new officers are also chosen. During the past year the group has been under the capable leadership of Syd MacGregor. The A. D. D. is indeed one of the unique clubs on the campus. Their motto is Serv- ice”. for the athletic department and for each indi- vidual on the campus. Hope's head cheer-leader last year was Al I can’t hear ya! Rypstra. Al’s able assistant in keeping spirits high was freshman Bob Nyboer. Last fall they did a swell job in spite of the difficulties due to the spreading out of the football crowds. During the basketball season Ryp” and Bob handled the job again. The two of them made the folks cheer, whether they wanted to or not. At the Calvin game in Grand Rapids. Al had a little competition from the Calvin band. However, once he got an even chance he showed everyone what was what to the tune of a few I can’t hear yas!” TUMBLING CHEER LEADERS Al Rypstra and Boh Nyboer KAPPA ETA NU Beginning the school year with high hopes for a successful season despite the war clouds which rolled nearer and nearer, Kappa Ida Nu, or Knickerbocker, pledged nineteen new members. These nineteen active neophytes made a welcome addition to the assembled group in the Knick Club rooms, and, after surviving the pains and fears of initiation, they were ready to carry on the work of Kappa Ida Nu. Officers for the first term were Ben Hofmeyer who maintained order as President, Carl Schaftcnaar who provided for programs in his duties as Vice-Presi- dent, and Ted Zwemer who recorded the proceed- ings as Secretary. Following a brief but welcome respite at Christmas time, the society prepared for the social and scholas- tic functions of the second term. AI Lecnhouts was elected President. Don Van Farrowc was the chosen one for the post of Vice-President, and Bob Spaulding was picked to take over the duties of Secretary. Highlighting the term was the winter party, an informal affair, held at the Warm Friend Tavern. In keeping with the theme, Lumberjack Days”, an informal program held sway after a boun- tiful meal. Then, to top off the evening's activity, all the Lumberjacks and Lumberjills joined in the merriment of a sleigh-ride party. Special guests for the event were Prof, and Mrs. Thompson and alumnus Vcrn Ten Cate and wife. With spring came uncertainty and restlessness to the campus. At this juncture, Carl Schaftcnaar took over the reins as the presiding officer of Knickerbocker. His right-hand man for the term was Gradus Shoe- maker whose duties were those of Vice-president. Jack Krum was the appointee for the handling of the books. The unity of Kappa Fta Nu was broken by the needs of the nation, and twelve men of Knicker- bocker were called to the colors. Yet the society carried on to have joint meetings with the Sibyllines anti the Fraters, as well as sponsoring a successful all-college smoker at which members of all Fraterni- ties on the campus were present to join in the sport. Knickerbocker acknowledges their loss in terms of valuable men who will keep forever the triangle of Kappa Fta Nu . . . Social, Moral and Intellectual . . . foremost in their hearts anil minds as they go forward to fight for American freedoms. 90 OMICRON KAPPA EPSILON Nearing the hundred and ten year mark in its busy history Omicron Kappa Epsilon, better known as Fraternal, pledged, in the fall, thirty-three men who might carry the society four more years into the future. War loomed in the horizon, and men were already preparing to leave Fraternal. Frank Lokker. President for the first term, was called to the colors and Jim White, Secretary-elect, joined the Merchant Marine. Harvey Koop assumed I.okker's duties as President; Ets Kleinjans became Vice-President, and Eddie Nieusma carried on the secretarial duties. Busying itself in the activities of school, OKE repre- sented itself in many fiields of endeavor. President Koop honored the society as football captain, and Ets Kleinjans as Basketball captain and Senior class prexy. Days were crammed with action for everyone, yet Fraternal took time out to enjoy itself at a formal party at Ye Oldc Warme Friende Taverne. With the disappearance of the tinsel from the Christmas tree came the change of rule at the Frater House. Ets Kleinjans moved up to fill the Presi- dent’s chair; Seymour Padnos took on the task of program preparation as Vice-president, and George Lumsden took up the cjuill to record for posterity. It was during this term of office that a joint meeting was held with the Sorosis society. Shortly before the embarkation of the E. R. C., Sey- mour Padnos was elected President, Bob Chard, Vice-president, and John Vander Broek. Secretary. When the Army Reservists left school, Paddy was with them; Chard carried on as prexy, Dick Dieven- dorf was elected to the position of Vice-president, and Vander Broek remained Secretary. This term of office governed over the training for May Day track and Interfraternity Baseball by the Frater teams, as well as a Joint meeting with the Knickerbocker fraternity. Meetings with Delphi and Sibylline societies were also planned. With the realization that America is the only nation in which a society based on love, friendship, and truth can exist and maintain its principle, Few and Chosen”, Fraternal has given freely of its sons for America’s cause. It is the earnest prayer in the heart of the fraternity that before long they may return to take up the torch of learning anil life that will blaze- new trails of achievement for Hope and Fraternal. 91 PHI KAPPA ALPHA After pledging thirty-four men, in the most success- ful drive in many seasons. Phi Kappa Alpha was to watch Uncle Sam deplete the fraternity forces to to build up the bulwarks of his defense. Even be- fore the spring terms were well under way, twenty- four Cosmopolitans had changed their civics” for G. I. ‘s”. But before they were to go, they wrote themselves across the pages of college history in in- delible ink. In every field of the curriculum, a Cos- mopolitan thrust himself, asking for the chance to contribute to the glory of his alma mater. In foot- ball and in basketball these men played the game as it was written. So high was the spirit, that the inter- fraternity basketball championship now resides in the Cosmos Castle. And inter-fraternity track and baseball also felt the impact of hard-playing boys from thirteenth street”. As in athletics, neither did the social life of the campus find the Cosmopolitans in want. Don De Fouw honored the frat as Blue Key president and Harvey Mulder served as Senior class vice president. When, in the middle of the year, Clint Harrison was graduated and entered the exclusive Johns Hopkins Medical School, not only did the student body lose its Council president, but the fraternity itself lost an able leader. Cosmos also represented itself in the science, language and forensic groups on the campus. Foremost among the year’s highlights were the unique parties anil meetings which were sponsored. Resplendent in new decorations, the house became the scene of many events, from the gory adventures of Cosmos Querk to the lighter gaiety of joint meetings with both Delphi and Sybilline. These things occurred before the boys went from campus to camp. Now, indicative of the high regard which they hold here, each one is represented by a blue star on the fraternity service flag. In the cen- ter, one tear dropped to form a gold star for Wallace Ricmcrsma, Hope's first war casualty. When the few boys who are left look at the flag, in their heart is the silent prayer that some day each star may mate- rialize into the man it represents, that he too may again continue where he has left off, knowing that his efforts had made our nation free to continue in the active pursuits of an ethical humanity. 92 PHI TAU NU The ideals of Phi Tau Nu, popularly known as Emersonian, are again thrust forward in its symbols of Love, Honor, and Success,—Ideals that uphold the spirit, the achievement, and the characteristic quality of the great statesman and literarian, Ralph Waldo Emerson. The past school year marked active participation of Emersonian on the campus. Allan Weenink was selected by the student body to serve as Student Council President for the second semester. Milton Verburg headed the ANCHOR staff as Editor-in- Chief, while Laurence Bellman served as Editor-in- Chief of the MILESTONE. Alfred Borgman, Earl De Witt, Clarence Vandervelde, and Louis Chisman presided over the YMCA, the Chemistry, Scalpel, and English Majors clubs respectively. In the beginning of the respective school year, Allan Weenink governed the group and Milton Verburg assisted as vice-president, John Kleis as secretary, and James Burger as treasurer. Under their supervision a successful fall party took its members to the imagi- native city of Shangri-La. As the winter term took over the responsibilities and achievements, we found Clarence Vandervelde sounding the gavel with Louis Chisman assisting him, William De Bell recording its functions, and Clarence Wagner guiding the financial resources. Within that term of office the social pattern brought forth joint meetings with the Dorian and Sibylline sororities, along with the traditional successful best girl” banquets. In the spring of 19-12, the Emersonian Fraternity again succeeded in numerous functions. Milton Ver- burg was made honorary president as he left, with many others, to uphold the ideals of Emersonian in the Armed Service of our country. In the spring term elections Louis Chisman was made right hand man along with James Burger on his left, Laurence Beltman at the books, and Keith Soderburg regulat- ing the capital. This term of office closed the aca- demic year and once again Phi Tau Nu marched along its solid foundation holding firm to its motto of the words of Emerson which forged the bonds of true friendship and loyalty, The only way to have a friend is to be one. 93 DELTA PHI September 1942 Bugle call sounded for the thirty- third session of Camp Delta Phi. Company lined up for inspection, with General Marge Brouwer com- mandeering, assisted by Lieutenant General Syd Mac- Gregor; Staff Sergeant Florence Bouwens, and quar- termaster Red Van Dyke. Year’s assignment: Moving barracks from Fort Voorhees to the shores of Lake Michigan for a Bunking Party; Entertainment of selectees at the Round Robin Tea and Delphi’s A. W. O. L. Tea; Enlistment of ten recruits at Delta Phi Headquarters; Veteran luncheon at the Holland Country Club before the Homecoming game. Shipping orders received, and commanding ranks changed. In charge were: General MacGregor, assisted by Lieutenant General Jean Ruiter, with Aide-de-Camp Louise Becker recording the historic events. Active duty for the year consisted of knitting for the Red Cross and the Queen Wilhelmina Fund —to aid our Dutch cousins. On leave: Delphians and guest had a starry-eyed, bang-up Rhapsody in Blue formal party. Advance in ranks, with formal and informal initiation. Inter- sorority bowling to keep us in trim, ( amp Cosmo- politan and Camp Delta Phi met at the Service Cen- ter for a picturc-esque entertainment. Spring command was given to Jean Ruiter, with Louise Becker in Lieutenant's capacity, and Sergeant Florence Bouwens taking up the staff again. The year's assignments draw to a close in a season of America's greatest national sport, a whirl of joint meetings including a tea with Dorian, beach party with Sorosis and meetings with Emersonian, Fra- ternal and Knickerbocker fraternities, a spring party at the Holland Country Club, and an unlimited amount of unrationed fun. Barracks renovated and redecorated by recruits. Company colors, Delphi Blue and Gold unfurled as Delphians stand at attention, the Hymn of Delphi on their lips----- When these fleeting hours have gone, Years their tale have told, Delphi friends will cherish still Sunset's Blue and Gold.” ----Taps. 94 rftKP! ■M This .year the Kappa Beta Phi became of age Twenty-one Septembers and twenty-one Junes have passed since Miss Boyd first founded Dorian. Twenty-one green freshmen classes and twenty-one sober senior classes have passed through the ranks of Dorian. Kappa Beta Phi started the fall season with a slum- berless party at Burnbrae cottage in Macatawa. Mimi Moncada and Carol Bos were president and vice- president. Margery Prince was writing the minutes and Freda Grote was watching the money bags. The Round Robin Tea was held in the newly decorated society room. October came in a hurry. The break- fast hike, the barn party, and the pre-gas rationing travel party were such fun. Pledges were pinned. Football season was in full swing. The Fmersonians were our hosts for a joint meeting. December brought a pot luck at Freda's before the last game. KAPPA BETA PHI Corrine Poole was elected prexy; Marion Sandee started plans for the winter party. Marie Jenkins was sorority scribe, and Marian Vande Bunte strug- gled with the treasurer's report. Back to our books in January, but the winter party was foremost in our thoughts. The Warm Friend Tavern was the place and the Sea of Dreams” was the theme. Formal initiation made thirteen pledges full fledged Dorians. The inspiring liturgy of the candle lighted ceremony made an unforgettable- occasion. March blustered in and out again. Fanny De Kleine presided during the last exciting months of the year, while Melba Dings planned the social activities. Evelyn SchifTner called roll, and Loretta Van Wierc-n took charge of the financial affairs. We were doing our part for the war effort in the Red Cross rooms. Bowling was over and our first team ranked high. April showered us with joint meetings with the Sibyllines, Thesaurians, and the Delphis. May brought on the last minute rush of the year. Every- one was excited about the informal spring party. June came with graduation ami goodbyes. We will miss Fannie, Corrine, Mimi, Mary Elizabeth, Marge and Ruthic, but we wish them all the luck in the world. A SIGMA IOTA BETA FLASH: SIBYLLINES GIVE SLUMBER PARTY BUT ARE NOT CAUGHT NAPPING! The evening is spent talking over happy past experi- ences. Future ones materialize rapidly- FLASH: SIBS GRASSY HAWAIIAN PARTY TURNS OUT TO BE HEY! HEY! Climaxing a round of lovely teas and clever rushing parties, Sibs let down their hair and have fun. Twenty-one promising new girls pledge themselves to the Sibyline ideals. FLASH: WHITE CHRISTMAS’ SNOWS UNDER WAR-DAY BLUES! Sibyl lines' beautiful Christmas party sounds the in- spiring note for the Yuletide season. Election of officers also in this month with Janet Clark sitting in the president's chair vacated by Donna Eby, Betty Davis taking over Wendy Rameau’s job as vice-presi- dent, Shirley Lemmen replacing Barbara Reed as secretary, and Jane Waldbillig taking money bags from Pearl Scholten. FLASH: PLEDGES TURN FROM CATERPIL LARS TO BUTTERFLIES! At the beautiful formal initiation, lovely Sib pledges are hardly recognized as the poor, little worms who crawled for Sophomore masters during informal initiation. FLASH: SIBS CURE SOLITAIRE BLUES WITH PLENTY OF DOUBLE DEALS ! Sibyllines have lots of fun at joint meetings with the Sorositcs, Dorians, Thesaurians. Emmies, Knicks. Cosmos, and Praters. About this time, Eek Klaaren takes over as proxy, IrmaStoppels as vice-prexy, Edna Blom as secretary, and Floss Dykema as treasurer. FLASH: SIBS SITE SEA FOR SOC IAL SORTIE! With the arrival of spring, the rush of finals is for- gotten at a super-informal beach party. Everybody gets sand in their shoes and smoke in their eyes with the thought that the year is drawing to a close. It is with a sense of satisfaction that is more than lightly touched with nostalgia that they look back on a year of hard work, pleasant associations, and happy mem- ories. % SIGMA SIGMA Sorositcs will remember their college year of 1943 as a grand year of good times with the sorority sisters who mean so much to every coed. Those ideals of service and loyalty, the requisites of true womanhood, which are embodied in Sigma Sigma, oldest sorority on Hope's campus, are reflected in the lives of her members who cherish college friendships and strive to be worthy of a high and noble trust. Memories linger of the woodsy round robin tea where Squirrel” TardifT’s antics pleased, Cinderella scenes from our formal winter party in colorful Fantasia’s” atmosphere, Mrs. E. J. Yeomans’ inspir- ing talk at candlelight formal initiation ceremonies, and the hilarious Ration Board” meeting with Frater brothers as coupons were cashed in for program numbers and refreshments. ’43—a year when several Sorositcs' shining eyes reflected the sparkle of newly-acquired diamonds or the proud, inner glow that comes with wearing a fraternity pin, symbolic of sweet promises. This try- ing war year saw many familiar male faces depart for military service, a uniform was King, sad fare- wells were in order; but Sorositcs with grim deter- mination to carry on with thumbs up” continued Red Cross knitting for the boys and went en masse to make surgical dressings for speedier victory. Gavel-wieldcr for the opening term was Barbara Dee Folensbec, assisted by Mary Jane Raffenaud, as Milly Timmcr recorded minutes. Junior Phyllis Pel- grim handled the year’s finances. An almost farcical fruit basket shakeup due to the scarcity of seniors, found Raffy” as second term prexy, Barbara Van Volkcnburgh, vice-president, and Barbara Dee, sec- retary. Commander-in-chief for final meetings was Milly Timmer, with Barbara Dee second in com- mand, and Barb Van Volkcnburgh recording official communiques. To our four seniors whose small number didn't diminish their influence we say Adios” and hearty thank you’s. Twelve neophytes, pledged to service, and faithful upperclass members will march forward with Sigma Sigma’s gold crescent. 97 THETA GAMMA FI Time: September. Scene: basement Van VIcck. Sound effects: swish, swash; moan, groan. Scrub- bing's begun and Theta Gamma Pi is moving in! Enter from right: The Paint Brigade lead by Josie of the Paint Pail and the Happy Hangers. A bit of suspense is injected because of tottering ladders—a bit of mirth on account of how paint does get about! And Bings the curtain rises on the first thrilling scene in the second year of Thesaurian. Rising action appears in the form of a multitude of newcomers approaching in the distance. Down stage a voice bursts into song with Come to the Fair , and the Round Robin is in full swing. Soft music and candle light set the scene at the Warm Friend when the winter formal appears decked out as June in January.” Strange phenomenon gives weird tone to atmosphere -snow man burns. Time switches to February. Comic Valentines on parade. Nine innocent pledges experience the pitfalls of informal initiation. Tenseness pervades the scene. Occasionally a scream is heard. Later a calm and composed group en- ters from left and, taking their vows, pledges are formally recognized as new Thesaurians. Mystery hovers over the next scene. Who-will- be-the-next-president ? An anxious group awaits the verdict. Soon the mystery is solved. Lois Koopman takes over to succeed Adelaide Wandscheer. Ellen Giebel presents the secretary’s record to Ruth Ann Poppen as Eleanor Schoonmaker bestows the vice-presidency to Ellen. Dorothea Dixon replaces Jean Vander Wege as treasurer. Patriotism flares high as the somber figure of war stalks on stage. Frequently the scene shifts to the Red Cross headquarters where Thesaurians fold bandages. Come spring and the call of the out-of-doors. The- saurians plan informal party at The Mooring. Some enthusiasts bike it. Inter-sorority baseball is also a party of the season's program. Scenes close for the year with farewells to all— especially to Adelaide and Eleanor, two veteran stars who are going to be missed. Next year we re looking ahead to other days of fun and fellowship together. MILESTONE ADVERTISERS DISTRIBUTORS OE OIL PRODUCTS Compliments of VANDENBERG BROTHERS OIL CO.
