MISS ELIZABETH LICHTY, Dean of Woiiien The care of dormitory girls during peace time is responsibility enough for any dean, without the addition of war-time troubles. In spite of the hubbub of girls exclaiming, Miss Lichty, my man is here! May I have late permission? or May I take a week ofif? , our dean has maintained a steadfast patience and .1 keen sense of humor. Continually teased, the petite mademoiselle is admired for being such .1 good sport. Ever poised and efiicient. Miss Lichty takes an active part in college parties, and has as much fun as any student. Thus the versatile nature of our dean has won the respect and friendship of Hope coeds. PROF. MILTON L. HINGA, Dean of Men Hopeites know from past experience that when in need Professor Milton L. Hinga, newly-appointed dean of men, is a friend indeed. His patience and understanding have been proved during his training of the men in basketball and footballg and he is also noted for his advice to the love-lornf' It is characteristic of Coach that he takes time on Sunday to teach .1 Sunday School Class. Many Hopeites attend regularly, and have been inspired by his interpretations of Christian ideals. His clever wit and casual humor find their way in to the lesson, keeping each member attentiveg and all who attend find spiritual strength for the week ahead. PROF. THOMAS E. WELMERS, Registrar As vigorous in his other responsibilities as he is in his tutorial capacity. Professor Thomas Welmers efficiently fulfills his position as registrar. From the beginning to the end of a school year his controlling hand is felt by everyone in academic affairs. He ushers in new students. establishes them in their courses and obtains data for his files, persisting for months if necessaryg and he ushers out the graduating class, having unscrambled the senior's credits beforehand in order that no one's record will be found wanting. Professor Weliiiers, equipped with such varied capabilities, tirelessly carries on his never-ending tasks as instructor and registrar. PROF. ALBERT TIMMER, Personnel Director Even though his official duties consume most of his time, Professor Albert Timmer still finds time to pursue his hobby, golf, the name of which is prac- tically synonymous with Timmer. During this war period, Mr, Timmer has taken over scores of duties as the personnel director, ranging from directing counselling to supervising the correspondence with prospective students and other interested persons. His practical suggestions and kindly encouragement give students an impetus to continue working toward their ultimate goals. In this new capacity, Mr. Timmer's infectious good will and his ability to put students at ease take away the odiousness of handing out grades and academic advice.

But when Hope dormites enter- tained our ovvn lioard at lunch one noon last spring, we were in for a pleasant surprise. They appeared neither old nor tremendously wealthy. ln tact, they vveren't even all men - -two were women. 'liliey ate heartily, were iov tal. and aeted as if they might have started ti rst grade with our Dads, Many are ministers or elders representing the t lasses ol' the Reformed Cliurth. hut the number also intludes an attorney. a printer, and many lwusiness and professional men. Most ot' them are Mithiganders, hut many travel long distances to meet ivith our administration to hear reports and offer suggestions as to the lvest possilale policy and means of maintaining the lwest possihle tollege here on our sixteen acres. Contrary to student opinion, they dont toot all the hills or pry into the private lives ot' the matrie- ulants, 'l'hey're all Christian people. who helieve in young people and the values of Christian Education, Vile don't want to shatter all your old dreams, hut, they don't even sign diplomas any more. Only the signature of their ahle president, Dr. -lohn A. Dykstra. of Grand Rapids. appears on a Hope Grads sheepskin.
