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.

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.
