EDUCATION GARRETT VANDER BORGH CAROLYN HAXXTQS. lib A Bw A M Instructor in Elementary professor uf liclucatlwla Eclutjatlifn Concerned with making prospective teachers the masters of their classrooms is the education department, Doing their best to develop this concern, we have bliss Carolyn Hawes and Mr. Vander Borgh. Miss Hawes received her AB. degree from Northern State Normal College and her AM. degree from the University of Minnesota, while Mr, Vander Borgh, a Hope grad of way back, we can't say when, received his AM. from Columbia University. Prospective elementary and secondary teachers take courses in the History of Educa- tion and Educational Psychology. both of which are taught in the junior year by Mr, Vander Borgh. Outside of these two courses, the wouldvhe elementary teachers are given courses concerning the elementary curriculum and the teaching of reading, These classes are in the hands of Miss Hawes, while Mr, Vander Borgh takes a great responsibility in teaching the junior secondaries everything there is to know about the principles of teaching and the American Secondary school. During the senior years, each prospective teacher does tive hours of practice teaching in Holland's elementary and secondary schools. Closely correlated with practice teaching are the problems courses A the secondary students under the direction of Mr, Vander Borgh and the elementary students under bliss Hawes. The department has become famous for its ability to prepare students with the hackground material and experience to make them successful teachers SPEECH witriaxi 1, srcniurii Ali. an PN -fuss: if of Npcccli One of the smaller departments on the campus, but one that lias brought consider- able recognition to Hope College is the speech department, The freshman speech course, which is required of all students, has proven to he a class known all around the campus as one in which not only the fundamentals of speaking are learned, but also as a class which provides much merriment for its members, There are also advanced classes offered in speech and debate, Our illustrious speech professor is Wfilliam Schrier who received his AM, and AB. degrees from the University of Michigan.

ALBERT lf LAMPIIN A,B,, MS., Ph,D A li' AM Chemistrv Professor' of Mathematits XVith the substitution of khaki for the traditional sports jacket and saddles. this year, the Science and Math, departments have had to do more than double- duty. The two hundred-fifty A. S. T. P, students recently stationed here received extensive training in mathematics, physics and chemistry, The increased enroll' ment called for an increased faculty in these departments, Professors Van Zyl and Kleinheksel were assisted in their work in the chemistry department by Mr. Visser They were kept busy dealing with such things as minor explosions. foul smelling concoctions and multi-colored gases. The Army's presengineering course called for most extensive work in physics and Professor Kleis was aided by Mr. Geerlings and Mr. NX'assink. Most any day at all they could be seen outlining the principles which will someday help to construct a road or build a bridge. Seldom have days been as full and busy as this year was for the Mathematics department. Professors Lampen, Timmer and Vander Borgh found Mr. Tuls and Mr. Dalman an added help in instructing the men as regards those confusing angles and x's. Despite military priorities Civilian students by no means, have been neglected and Professor Vergeer's biology courses were extremely popular this year. Both beginning and advanced students have been initiated into the Llse of the scalpel in minor clisections. and used the departments excellent equipment on other varied and interesting experiments, Wlartime living demands that everyone improve his abilities and talents so as to be able to use them in the highest service to his country. The students of '4-4 worked long and hard preparing themselves and helping to keep the sciences at Hope College on as high a level as in previous years, XVhen the men come back again they will find an excellent department wait- ing for them. v X X X X Q Q .v v v, X fs, we ' vs vs Xs s , ax so A W e ' - X '- fill N .. e - S 4 , s 5 Q y K Q .ss S v N91 X Q .
