Text from Pages 1 - 192 of the 1947 volume:

WAS PUBLISHED UNDER THE DIRECTION OF FACULTY ADVISOR DR. CLARENCE DE GRAAF OF HOPE COLLEGE, HOLLAND, MICHIGAN. H. J. KOOP WAS THE EDITOR AND R. F. TOPP THE BUSINESS MANAGER. THE NINETEEN HUNDRED FORTY - SEVEN THE YEARBOOK OF THE JUNIOR CLASS HOPE COLLEGE, HOLLAND, MICHIGAN Genial, Efficient, Cooperative Dr. Clarence De Graaf 4 whose varied interest have made him a prominent member oi the community; to one who has, in the role of advisor guided many of Hope's students to their future goals; to DR. CLARENCE DE GRAAF we ascribe this statement of George Bernard Shaw and proudly dedicate this MILESTONE of 1947. He has the capacity to combine religion and education, making them unified and integrated. He radiates his own deeply religious philosophy of life throughout the classroom and the campus and it is revealed in every aspect of his life. Through his eyes the student sees deeper and farther into litera- ture and his own life. With this he has endeared himself to all his students and received their deepest respect. He sheds his intellectual cloak for a congenial cape on the college level. Everyone enjoys his perti- nent and ever present sense of humor, which always adds to the pleasure of college functions, of which he is a regular participant. It is because of these and many more attributes, because of gratitude, and appreciation, that we, the class of 1948 dedicate this MILESTONE of 1947 to DR. CLARENCE DE GRAAF 5 As the city of Holland looks back on 100 years of development, Hope too looks back on its 80 odd years of progress. Both Hope and Holland, although never losing sight of the spiritual founda- tions laid down by the Rev. A. C. Van Raalte, have realized that to be the well-rounded individual, stress must be placed on social and intellectual development as well. This year has been one of transition for Hope. After three years of war-time limitations, we find it admirably meeting the problems of a greatly increased enrollment. But Hope is not content to rest upon past achievements! There is an ever present determination that Hope shall yet progress spiritually, scholastically, and socially. 6 A city within a city, that is Hope College. Its students are the citizens, the prolessors the magistrates, yet it is democracy, lor all have a voice in the management. The school, Hope, is the local point, and as Freshmen become upperclassmen they find themselves taking more and more an active part in the activities ol the City . Lile goes on outside the college and each student is drawn into and participates in the functions ol the outside world. Yet, he remains an integral part ol the institution, being nourished from an ever-increasing interest in the stages ol development that make up our city, Hope. 9 One of the prime purposes of Hope's program is to develop a well balanced individual. To supplement accurate, intelligent, minds with sound, healthy, bodies is the aim of the athletic de- partment. An intensive program of intra-mural sports adds immeasurably to this development. Accompanying this program are definite requirements of physical education for all students graduating from Hope. While helping to maintain a strong body, this requirement provides excellent recreation and promotes healthy competition. No matter where it be; on the gridiron, on the cinder track, or on the hardv ood, Hopeites display a highly competitive and fighting spirit throughout each and every contest, and whether they are the victor or the vanquished, they always display the paramount pinnacle of good sportsmanship. 10 • vj v u v ' • ,r a Itilfi The development of the v ell rounded individual incorporates not only spiritual, mental and physical development but social development as well. Here on Hope's campus the members of the student body practice their citizenship in close proximity with others, exchanging opinions, ideas, and mannerisms. Here its members live, work, and play through four of the best, most broadening years of their lives. Life here is not easy, but it is always exciting. It is an education in itself. 13 15 DR IRWIN I. LUBBERS COLLEGE ADMINISTRATION College administration is presided over by President Irwin J. Lubbers, assisted by six administrative committees. These committees, which deal with every phase of student-faculty life, are concerned with administration, educational policies, student direction, the library, athletics and music. The ADMINISTRATIVE committee, under the chairmanship of Dr. Lubbers, deals primarily with the individual problems of students and faculty and details of administration not covered by definite regu- lations. Dr. Clarence De Graaf is chairman of the EDUCATIONAL POLICIES committee. This group is re- sponsible for the regulation of the college academic program. The STUDENT DIRECTION committee, headed by Miss Laura A. Boyd, concerns itself with the extra- curricular, student, and social life of the campus. Under the leadership of Dr. John W. Hollenbach, the LIBRARY committee endeavors to make the library a more efficient instrument of education. At present, plans for the expansion of library facili- ties are being considered. The committee on ATHLETICS is responsible for the administrative details surrounding the college sports program. Mr. Clarence Kleis is its chairman.' Mr. Robert W. Cavanaugh heads the MUSIC committee. This group handles the administrative prob- lems that arise in the Department of Music. 18 DR. C.

Promotes Christian Education DR JOHN A DYKSTRA President of the Board HOPE COLLEGE MILESTONE March 15, 1947 The Board of Trustees, as its name indicates, holds the property and manages the affairs of the college. It is responsible for the aims, practices, and character of the institution. At present there are thirty-eight members on the Board, nine elected by the General Synod of the Reformed Church in America, one representative from each of the Eastern Synods of New Bruns wich, Albany, and New York, one each from the eight classes in the Particular Synod of Iowa, and eighteen from the classes of the Particular Synod of Chicago. The Board of Trustees elects the president of the college and those associated with him to execute the administration of the college within the framework of the Christian objectives of the college. Through its executive committee the Board arranges for the execution of orders and resolutions not otherwise specifically com- mitted or provided for, and guides the affairs of the institution on behalf o: the Board until the time of its next meeting. Through its committee on instruction, the Beard approves the selection of the members of the faculty. Through its committee on finance and investments it has charge of all the funds of the college—endow- ment, contingent, building, and current. It preserves and uses these according to the rules and regulations laid down for these funds. Through its committee on buildings and grounds, the Board exercises care and control over the buildings, grounds, and equipment of the college. The Board strives to give a good account of its stewardship both to The Reformed Church in America and to our great God. JOHN A. DYKSTRA.

H1NKAMP Registrar A TiMMER Director of Admissions 21 H. WINTER M. SCHUPPERT MRS. D. WEEMHOFF Treasurer Cashier Secretary to the President PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION (Cant’d) The administrative unit in direct contact with the student body is the Division of Personnel Adminis- tration. It is a large organization, with numerous branches influencing the adjustment and develop- ment of the student. Mr. Milton L. Hinga as Dean of Men probably comes into personal contact with more students on the campus than any other man. Whether a student's problem is scholastic, social, disciplinary, or purely personal, he can be assured of a sympathetic and understanding listener in Dean Hinga. Dr. Elizabeth Lichty, the Dean of Women, is the personal supervisor of all the women students, either off or on the campus. Interviews with the Dean of Women are given for personal or disciplinary reasons. Popular Miss Laura Boyd, as Director of Student Affairs, schedules the social calendar for the year. Her task is an arduous one, but her pleasing manner makes it a pleasure to confer with her. Sympathetic and professional assistance is given by the Registrar, Rev. P. Hinkamp. As Director of Public Relations Mr. Clyde Geerlings is a popular individual, and he can be seen every day moving about the campus looking for interesting subjects for his camera. Dean of Admissions is Prof. A. Tim- mer, a former instructor in Latin. His winning smile has won for him.many new friends at Hope. Other members of the various departments of Personnel Administration are pictured on these pages. They are carefully chosen for their abilities in a particular field of work, and all of them are extremely popular with the student body. MRS. F. WOLTERS Secretary to Director o: Admissions MRS. N.

To encourage a student to find himself, his individual capacities, and to discover his own powers and enthusiasms, our faculty has provided an effective program in a clear and com- prehensive way. By devising a flexible educational program each student is given a chance to decide in which of the many fields of endeavor he is par- ticularly interested and most likely to succeed. In this rich curriculum created by the faculty is a wide range of subjects, developed to furnish each student with the general basis of knowledge to cope with the varied problems of the world. To help every student to live intelligently and happily and to un- derstand society in general in our complex civiliza- tion is the aim of every faculty member. It would be impossible for most students to imagine a day when they were not under the direct or indirect influence of the faculty members. Their position is not pretentious, but in making Hope College a home away from home , they lay the foundations for our future. Individually and col- lectively their talents and experiences represent a wide and varied field of learning. From early morning until late afternoon we have looked at blackboards and perused our books, we have listened, and studied, and supposedly learned. Certainly we owe a great debt to the group of faculty who have not only worked at instructing us. but have made it interesting from time to time and spent so much extra time coaching us. They are as important a part of Hope memories as the as- sociations of our fellow students. The work of the college faculty has been out- standing during this transitory year of 1946 and 1947. Even though the student body has increased tre- mendously, every student in given the opportunity to personally contact the faculty for careful guid- ance, friendly suggestions, and aid in the solving of their academic problems. The faculty has been called upon to sacrifice study, research and leisure hours to meet the de- mands of this increased student body. They have taken on academic teaching loads far beyond the capacity ever asked of them by the college ad- ministration. Their job has not been an easy job, and after working with them and for them we have acquired a respect and admiration for them that demonstrates the excellence of their work. In the years to come we will have a greater appreciation for the priceless guidance and direction which the academic staff have directly or indirectly exerted upon us. Because of their response with magnificent cordi- ality to the unusual requests made of them, this next section of the Milestone will give us an insight into this important phase of our life at Hope. 25 DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH E BRAND B KRUITHOF English is bound up with every waking moment of our lives. We do our thinking in English; we speak and we write in English. English has greater social utility than any other subject as it is employed, in its three forms, writing, speaking and reading, in all activities of life, vocational and social and is the medium through which all other subjects are taught. The importance of the English department is displayed when we consider the importance of the English language itself. Only when we use it properly can we carry on life as we know it, and the members of the department have strived to give us enough of the fundamentals to satisfy our requirements. When we look at a corrected theme or at the results of a spelling test, we begin to realize that we need even more than we receive, but who has not grumbled at a difficult theme topic or slightly oversize assignment? First year English, required of all students, concerns itself primarily with grammar, rhetoric and composition. These act as tools for work in all classes and forms a basis for all ad- vanced courses in the English department. A student, master- ing these mechanical forms and rhetorical principles effectively, is equipped for a study of literature. Assisting the student in these fundamental courses of the department are Mr. Brand, Mr. Prins and Mr. Ten Moor. Literature is written not only for entertainment but has a secondary purpose in that it disseminates a philosophy of life and makes contributions to international relationships through which one gains an insight into the lives, culture and philoso- phies of peoples of other countries. Under the capable supervision of Dr. De Graaf, Dr. Hollenbach, Miss Reeverts and Rev Kruithof, we are introduced to the best of English and American poetry, essays, novels and dramas. For us they interpret, and teach us to perceive, the fundamental truths or bits of humor incorporated in each piece of writing. Hope is indeed fortunate in its professors and instructors in the English department, for each one is vitally interested in the language and literature of the field, and, by this very interest, manage to make the subject interesting to those who merely meet the minimum requirements or those who elect to take advanced courses in the subject. John and Sam. representatives from Arabia, discuss their difficulties of our English language with the person who knows. In the classroom Dr. Hollenbach is engrossed in thought, attempting to comprehend a student's question Dr De Graff in a favorite pose, deciding on the type of test for his next class. DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC MRS. W C SNOW ! HOLLEMAN The Music Department has had another successful year with many accomplishments of which to be proud. To facilitate the teaching of music the college purchased the Walsh House on Ninth Street which provides piano and voice studios. Practice pianos are available in the basement of the Chapel also. For organ students, there are practice organs, and for advanced students there is the four-manual Skinner organ of fifty-seven stops. There are three divisions in the Music Department -organ, piano, and voice. A student may major in any one of these fields. Mrs. Snow has full charge of the organ department where a great deal of attention is paid to the development of the church organist. The ideal church organist must be as much of an artist as the concert organist, and in addition be thoroughly familiar with his duties and conduct as an officer of the church. The piano department has Mrs. Snow, Miss Holleman, Mrs. Karsten, and Mr. Johnston. The student must show satisfactory musicianship before graduation. With Mr. Cavanaugh at its head, the voice department has enlarged greatly. Two new members were added to the faculty this year. They are Miss Cook and Mrs. Baughman. Miss Cook was presented in a joint recital with Mr. Johnston at the beginning of the year. A popular class in music this year is the conducting class under Miss Holleman. Other music classes are History of Music, Theory, Ear-training and Sight-singing. Every Tuesday morning during the year, the student body was given the opportunity to hear members of the various fields of music. A special vocal or instrumental number was rendered each week. Throughout the year, Hope's students and faculty have enjoyed several concerts through the efforts of the Music De- partment. These have included guest artists such as Mr. Rudolph Ganz, conductor of the Grand Rapids Symphony, and an emminent pianist. The home of the Music Department, Walsh Hal!.

VAN ZYL H KLEINHEKSEL One of Hope College's newest buildings is the Science Building which was constructed in 1938. Here the future doctors, chemists, and other science majors receive their train- ing. It is from here that many outstanding students have gone into the various fields of science and have shown the results of excellent scientific background, for which Hope is well known. The fine facilities and laboratories plus the capable instruct- ing which the students receive makes for better organized and guided work, which gives eager minds initiative, incentive, and the desire to learn. It is here that the foundation is laid for future years either in research or in professional work. It is also here that the students of other fields may receive a cultural background and understanding to make their lives richer and more abundant, which is essential for growth. In the Science Department is the Chemistry Department and the Biology Department. Dr. Gerrit Van Zyl, the head of the Chemistry Department, teaches the advanced courses in Chemistry. Besides being a master in his field, he is a master of dry humor and his once-every-four-years' stories keep the Chemistry majors in a good mood for the long hours of laboratory work. Ably assisting Dr. Van Zyl are Dr. J. Harvey Kleinheksel and Dean Charles Wimmer, both of whom teach beginning and advanced courses. After the course in General Inorganic Chemistry, Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis are offered. Organic and Physical Chemistry, plus several other advanced courses make up the whole of the Department. For those whose interests run along the line of plants and animals, and life processes, Hope offers a very fine Biology Department under the direction of Dr. Teunis Vergeer. His deep understanding and interest in his students makes him as much a friend as an instructor. Both Dr. Vergeer and Professor Oscar Thompson teach elementary and advanced courses in Biology. Professor Thompson has recently returned to Hope's Biology Department after several years of absence. Miss Frances Koeman, a recent Hope graduate, and Miss Jenny Spoelstra, one of the college nurses, teach courses in this de- partment also. •cf.

DEPARTMENT OF LANGUAGES MRS. P PRINS N MEYER Included in the Department of Languages are courses in French, Spanish, Latin, German and Dutch. The beginning or first year course in each of the languages consists chiefly in a study of grammar, introduction to and memorization of a basic vocabulary, oral drill and conversation, reading exercises, and frequent exercises in composition. The second year course continues the study of grammar but emphasizes translation and outside reading to acquaint the student more thoroughly with the personal habits, characteristics, and traits of the people in the countries about which they are studying. Ad- vanced work in any of the languages is offered. Senior students in French may take French Phonetics, French Composition and Conversation, the teaching of French or Ad- vanced Conversation. German majors make an intensive study of modern German drama, the novel, modern German short stories, German poetry and opera, a study of the life of Schiller or Goethe, the Romantic school of Heinrich Heinie, or Scientific German. Advanced Latin students take selected readings of Roman Literature in translation, Roman Philosophy, or a Latin Methods Course designed in conjunction with the Department of Education to give careful consideration to methods employed in the teaching of Latin in junior and senior high schools. Newest addition to the Department is the course in Dutch, ably instructed by Dr. Bouvy. A Sophomore course, it covered the grammar and vocabulary as well as Dutch Literature. Courses in Greek are also offered to college students by the Western Theological Seminary. A Beginner's Course consists of methods of study with word lists and inflections. Sophomore Greek consists of a review and application of the principles of syntax and inflection. Third year students delve into se- lections of Thucydides, and the style, method, and aim of the Greek historians are studied, together with a review of the important facts of Greek history. Majors in Greek complete their course with a study of Homer, selections from the Iliad and “Odyssey,'' Sophocles' “Antigone,” Philosophy of Plato, the History of Greek Literature, and Aristotles' “Ethics”. We will now take up the Subjunctive . . says Prof Schoon with a smile on his face Below the border it's Spanish, and Mrs Prins acquaints us with the language. We will now read. ‘Liebe auf den Dritten Blick' explains Miss Boyd in her friendly manner The language of the ancients, Latin, taught by versatile Prof Wolters. 33 Pcu a Peu . with customary vim Miss Meyer broaches the phonetics DEPARTMENT OF RELIGIOUS EDUCATION E OSTERHAVEN A Christian college receives justification for its existence in that it seeks to bring its students into a proper relationship with Jesus Christ. Although it is necessary that that spirit and that purpose permeate all of the instruction of the college, the application and understanding of Christianity are brought to a focus in the Department of Religious Education. It is here that the student, in a very particular sense, learns to make his relationship with God, through His Son, Jesus Christ, such that it guide him on life’s way, temper his actions, and render him ready and anxious to perform God s will for his life, as stated in the college bulletin. As Hope College believes that the Word of God is the foundation of all true wisdom, it requires that certain courses be taken by each student. All freshmen study The Life of Christ' so that they may be familiar with the words and works of history’s most significant personality. Sophomores take a course in the history of the Apostolic Age, and the juniors study Old Testament history. The senior Bible course, called The Philosophy of the Christian Religion, presents to the student the basic concepts of the historic Christian faith. Here the doctrines of Revelation, God, Man and Sin, the Person and Work of Christ, the Holy Spirit and the Doctrine of the Last Things are pursued. In addition to the basic, required courses, certain elective courses are offered in the Department of Bible. These include such studies as Our Protestant Heritage,” Principles of Re- ligious Education, and the 'History of the Bible. The de- partment, at present in the process of expansion, is planning additional courses, some of which will appear in the college curriculum next year. The personnel of the Bible Department consists of the Reverend M. Eugene Osterhaven, college pastor and head of the Department of Bible, and the Reverend William B. Miller, both of whom received their training at Hope College, West- ern Theological Seminary and Princeton. In addition to these two. the services of Dr. Albertus Pieters and Dr. George A. Menninga of Western Seminary were secured. Early in the year, the Reverend Gordon J. Van Wyk lent his services to the department with the understanding that he be released as soon as travel to China, to which he had been appointed as a missionary, was possible. After two months he received notice that his ship was about to sail and so turned his classes over to his former mentors of Western Seminary. 34 W MILLER Dr. Osterhaven emphasizes a point. Two seminary students get in their outside reading. Dr. Dykstra, Latest Addition to the Faculty, teaches Greek. DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS A LAM PEN D ZWEMER New students as well as old seem to realize the vital im- portance of the knowledge of mathematics. The evidence of this realization can be seen by the tremendous increase in the enrollment in this department. In the past, society regarded mathematics as a subject of abstractions and formalities and studied as a pure abstract science separated from its natural setting. Challenged by this association on the part of the average man, mathematics so altered itself until the subject is what it is today—a dynamic and functional field. Now mathematics are viewed, not only as a body of rules, formulas, tables, graphs, and principles to be learned, but as a language, a method of thinking, and a medium through which social and economic institutions in this our world can be better understood. Hope College has always been proud of the many fine mathematicians who have been graduated from the school. Into many and varied fields the graduates have gone to do significant and vital work—thus proving that their training has been of the best. Time was, during the war, that the average mathematics class v as composed of more women than men. However, with the return of the servicemen, one finds the situation has changed considerably—the majors in this field are pre- dominately of the male species. Greater emphasis v as placed on beginning mathematic courses because of the tremendous enrollment of students who had never before taken mathematics and v ished to explore this field, and because of those who are taking refresher courses. Initiating these students into the fundamental opera- tions of mathematics are Mr. Folkert, a graduate of the Uni- versity of Michigan. Assisting Mr. Folkert is Mr. Steketee, also a graduate of the University of Michigan. These two men have been very successful in aiding the students tov ard getting a substantial background for more advanced work After mastering the basic principles of mathematics, a student of this department passes into the capable hands of Mr. Lampen, who is also head of the department.

HISTORY, ECONOMICS, PHILOSOPHY W. VAN SAUN Philosophy M ROSS History The world is constantly in the process of making history, and economics and philosophy are vitally concerned with the out- come of these historical episodes. Hope College, too, is concerned v ith the passing events and so our History Department in an endeavor to keep posted sponsors the International Relations Club v ith Miss Ross as advisor. In the classroom Miss Ross keeps the students vitally interested in current happenings by being well-posted herself. Her wealth of experience and knowledge challenge the stu- dents to greater research and study. Professors Vander Bush and Hinga give to the student currently interested in history their sympathy and understand- ing of people and their relations socially, politically, eco- nomically and psychologically. History is related to the students' everyday lives through the philosophy of Mr. Hinga, especially where it concerns marriage. He inevitably tells each class that marriage indeed can be successful on a 60-40 basis, women 60, men 40. Professor Vander Bush in his precise and thorough manner of teaching history, integrates the stu- dents' life to the full. From the study of economics the students on the campus learn how to budget not only their money, but the money of the nations. Business, finance, and lav are vitally essential to the person entering the business world, and Dr. Yntema and Professor Horner give to these prospective financial czars the thorough knowledge of all those details. College graduates of high caliber who are thorough in their knowledge of busi- ness are desperately needed in our confused world. Judge Smith from the city of Holland aids the students in their dis- covery of right and wrong and how to deal honestly and justly in all cases which come under their consideration The philosophy department is headed by Dr Walter Van Saun. This department is chiefly concerned with the various forms of philosophy or theistic beliefs of the peoples of the world. Dr. Van Saun does not leave one to discover which philosophy is best, he points out the errors and the good in each and reveals the Christian Philosophy, for which Hope College stands is the right philosophy. Bob Danhof points out to Miss Hoss the position of recent disturbances in Britain. Prof. Horner doubts the validity of the statement. 39 And that is why Freud is not discussed in detail in Philosophy. says Dr. Van Saun with a twinkle in his eye. PSYCHOLOGY, EDUCATION H HAVERKAMP Psychology G. VANDER BORGH Education MRS H SCHOON Education Contrary to public opinion the student of Psychology does not begin immediately a psycho-analysis of his neighbor in the classroom. Instead, the General Psychology course, of- fered to Sophomore students, is chiefly concerned with normal adult human psychology, and is intended as a series of funda- mental studies preparatory to more advanced study in the main and subsidiary branches of this science. An Experi- mental Psychology course, consisting of laboratory experiments which may parallel the General Psychology course is also offered. Juniors interested in delving further into psychology and its branches are offered a course in the Social aspect, a study of the psychology of group movements, of man's social nature and of its expression under social control. Mental Hygiene, a survey course dealing with psycho-pathological phenomena of personality and the history of the mental hygiene movement is also offered. An Applied Psychology course, consisting of a study in the application of psychological principles to the various fields of human endeavor, such as, salesmanship, ad- vertising, medicine, lav , and teaching is offered to seniors. Professor Harold Haverkamp is the Psychology instructor. The courses offered in the Department of Education are intended especially to prepare teachers for the elementary grades and secondary schools. All practice teaching is done in the city schools, both for elementary and secondary training, under efficient critic supervision. Special efforts are put forth by the Placement Committee to secure positions for graduates v ho have special aptitude for teaching. Introductory courses in Elementary Public School Music Methods, Geography, Art and the History of Education and Philosophy of Education are offered. In the latter course attention is given to those historical agencies and factors which have influenced the educational progress of the various peoples. Emphasis is laid upon the aims, methods, content, organization and resulst. Advanced courses such as The American Secondary Public School, the Elementary School Curriculum, Teaching of Read- ing in the Elementary School are offered. Prof. Haverkamp discusses The friendly smile of Prof Frustration Vandorborgh, 40 SPEECH, CLASSICS The Department of Speech at Hope College is probably more widely known outside the college than any other de- partment. Active participation in state and national contests in oratory, declamation, and extemporaneous speaking with high ratings in all have given this department high standing throughout the country. Freshmen students are required to take Fundamentals of Speech, which is the theory and practice of public speaking, with major emphasis upon delivery and bodily action, and the attainment of the objectives of confidence and contact. Intended as a logical continuation of Fundamentals is Public Speaking, where continued stress is made upon delivery v ith major emphasis upon voice control, and also introduction to the fields of interpretation, speech composition, debate and group discussion. Argumentation and Debate, another second year course, studies the underlying principles of debating and argumentation. Classroom debates upon current topics are stressed, as well as briefing, and the techniques of securing conviction. Interpretative Reading, and Scripture Reading are both popular courses, with emphasis on the preparation of programs for public delivery. The course in Scripture Read- ing is designed to develop increased appreciation of the Bible through oral reading, and to promote effective public reading of the Bible. Community Drama, Dramatic Production, Stagecraft, Acting, and Radio Acting have become increasingly popular the past year with the arrival of Prof. Avison. Several Dramatic pro- ductions were accomplished, including the staging of the play, scenery, costumes, lighting, properties, make-up, etc. The Radio Acting class, which provides studio practice in the per- formance of radio plays was given a stimulant v ith the arrival of recording equipment. For advance students Ad- vanced Play Directing is given, as v ell as Radio Directing. Dr. E. Dimnent, former college president, who has instructed classes in all the Sciences, this year assumed the professorship of Classical Civilization. This course emphasized the rise of Constitutions and Constitutional governments. Main sources for classroom work were Aristotle's Politics and Plato's 'The Republic”. W SCHRIER Speech E.

Graduation, a thing we have strived for, has now arrived, and v e approach it looking to the future, to see what it holds for us. Behind we leave our many friends, scenes that have become familiar and memories that remain engraved under the classification of The Best Time of Our Lives . Four years ago v e started this chapter in the novel of our life, and this great event writes the final page of the adventure, which marks us as mature citizens, and places us on the long and ever growing list of Gradu- ates of Hope . We give thanks to all those, our teachers and coun- selors, for all the help they gave in assisting us through the hazards and pitfalls along the way. V e leave all to meet new situations, encounter new friends, and try to find our place in the workings of the machine of civilization. Farewell address—Time-honored symbol of graduation.

The daisy chain Hanks the carpeted walk up to the queen's throne May day! The grandest gala event of the year! The climax of all events save graduation for the seniors. In honor of this festive, frolicsome occasion, school adjourns in the middle of the morning. After the cancellation of curricular activities, every- one gathers at the athletic field for sport competition between members of both the fairer and stronger sex. High jumping, broad jumping, and other track activities are rev arded by colorful prizes to the vic- tors. Baseball dominates as the ruling sport of the afternoon. Twilight of coronation day finds the entire student body and faculty in the campus's beautiful pine grove eagerly awaiting the commencing of the ceremonies. The trumpet sounds, and to the strains of martial music come the gorgeously gowned girls of the freshman class forming a resplendently arrayed daisy chain. An expectant hush falls over the spectators as the new Queen and her court are chosen from the ranks of the Junior class. Following the pinning of new Alcor girls and selecting new Blue Key men for the senior honoraries to serve dur- ing the coming year, the royal party retires to the banquet hall. Highlighting the regal dinner are toasts to the successful and prosperous reign of Her Majesty by the representatives of the student body and faculty. 82 83 Miss Irene Demian «Sigma. Iota. Beta 84 85 StuAent PidjluxiUcmb At the present time, two student literary publications are maintained bv the colleae. the ANCHOR and the MILESTONE, the for- mer being a bi-monthly newspaper and the latter the college year book. The ANCHOR has as its function the job of keeping the students, faculty, friends and alumni of the school informed of its activities and ac- complishments. The MILESTONE is pub- lished annually and seeks to present a his- tory of the college year at Hope. Together they provide a means of offering practical experience and training in literary expres- sion, journalism, advertising, business man- agement, photography and the other skills involved in their publication. The ANCHOR staff is composed of those students who are interested in receiving training and doing work in the field of journalism. It is headed by an editor in- chief who is assisted by a number of associate and departmental editors and a business manager. Each year the associate editors are nominated by the Publications Committee of the college after key staff per- sonnel have been consulted. From those nominated, the number desired to assist the editor are elected by the student body. It is from these that the editor for the follow- ing year is chosen. The choice is made by the Committee on Publications and is made on the basis of the work done throughout the year and an issue of the ANCHOR that each puts out in competition with the other. Unlike the ANCHOR, the MILESTONE is not an all-college project. Rather, it is a publi- cation of the Junior class. Thus, its editor is elected by that group during the latter part of their sophomore year. The election is made from a number of students chosen by a class nominating committee. When elected, the editor is assisted by volunteers from members of the class. Both publications hold membership in the Associated Collegiate Press, which conducts a critical service for all member publica- tions, in addition to providing them with aids designed to improve the papers and yearbooks concerned. Consistently, each have received First Class ratings from this organization. 87 I. PONTIER Art Editor I PALMER Literary Editor DR C DE GRAAF.

The first all-college function of the year v as the Freshman Mixer which was a stimu- lating display of enthusiasm and pep. On that eventful occasion the class of '50 re- ceived their long anticipated green . The Homecoming Committee of the Stu- dent Council really surmounted difficulties of the times by planning one of the biggest and best weekends in Hope history. Be- ginning with the pull on Friday afternoon, proceedings included the parade of floats on Friday night and a buffet supper and open house after a victorious football game. The frosh ' reached the climax of their year at the Burning of the Green in Novem- ber after a program prepared by the sorori- ties, fraternities and classes ended in the presentation of final freshman penalties in Carnegie Gym. 92 DESTINY OF HOPE’S The Nykerk Cup Contest, a traditional • yearly program of feminine rivalry, was successfully organized under the direction of Louise Ter Beek just before Thanksgiving. Then, in cooperation with WAL, the Student Council presented an all-college Christmas Party. Dutch Treat Week was a new experience for many, and just as much fun for those already orientated into the proceedings. Apparently the student body was full of pep after a restful Christmas vacationi Throughout the year the Council en- deavored to activate and maintain student STUDENTS interest and enthusiasm through the or- ganization of a cheerleading squad cap- tained by Don Scholten, who planned pep meetings before our important pigskin fracases. Assemblies for the entire student body were also included in the program of the year. A new type of activity was undertaken by the organization by the appointment of four members to represent the Council, and in turn the student body, on the Student- Faculty Committee.

LEADS IN COLLEGE FUNCTIONS Nearly every co-ed is a member oi what is known as probably the most democratic set-up on the campus—the Women's Ac- tivities League. Each member on the Board has a certain duty requiring hard work, iniative, and in- genuity. One must have charge of the main project of the year; one must plan the May Day festivities; others plan the various teas and parties. W.A.L. began a busy year by entertaining all new co-eds in Voorhees living room by the Orientation Tea. This annual affair af- forded new girls an opportunity to become acquainted with other girls and the women of the faculty. The Christmas party, a W.A.L. project, was held in Carnegie Gymnasium and was strictly a formal affair. The loud burst of riotous laughter came from the gym where the All-Girls party was held. The girls and the faculty women tried to out-do each other in their costumes. The costumes ranged from a harem to a couple of painters. This affair is where Hope's co-eds show their cleverest ideas in costum- ing. But this year the fun did not end at the party. Dorm girls had the town girls as their guests for the night, and as for sleep)? Not only does W.A.L. plan the festivities on the campus, but it is also active in money-making projects. The Penny Carni- val was the money-making project this year. Each sorority and each fraternity had a par ticular booth (or which they were responsi- ble. Ping-pong, Bing-o, fish ponds, taraet practice, and telegrams were a few of this evening's activities. The proceeds this year were sent to Saraspatak, our Sister College in Hungary. This activity was also spon- sored last year and throughout the year the faculty and students received letters in ap- preciation for the gifts. The final event of the W.A.L. calendar was the May Day festivities. The campus queen was crov ned and the various classes took part in sports events and the day wound up with a formal banquet. Certainly all Hope College co-eds will join in a vote of thanks to W.A.L for the good times had this year. First Row—J. Decker, L Meulendyke. F.. Moeusen. Miss Lichty. E. M.

The Y.M.C.A. began a busy year in conjunction with the Y.W.C.A. in sponsoring the annual beach party for new students. Working in harmony the cabinets threw their energies into the annual Mission Drive, staging a campaign to raise funds to aid students in China. Lois Van Wyk and Robert Schuller were in charge of this important project. An inspirational Prayer Week was carried out in February with Dr. Ray- mond Lindquist of Orange, New Jersey, as the guest speaker. Each morning in the chapel Dr. Lindquist brought inspirational messages to the student body. Opportunities were also made possible for personal interviews with him. Exceptionally fine speakers v ere procured for the weekly Y meetings and a good attendance rewarded the efforts of those in charge. Joint meetings with the Y.W.C.A. v ere enjoyable as v ell as inspirational. All the activities of the year united to form an effective element in helping to Make Christ King of Hope's Campus . 96 Y.

A niqh: of singing a! the weekly YW meeting Before the busy fall days on campus have actually begun, the Y.W. is mak- ing friends of all registered freshmen through the Big Sister letters. Once on campus these new additions to Hope are made to feel at home through these same Big Sisters. The opening week of school v as a busy one and the Y-Fore kept everyone posted on the events. The first event was the annual beach party for all new students and cabinet members. Lasting friendships were begun here. In November, Talmadge College was the talk of all conversation as the Y's sponsored the annual Mission Drive with a result of $2000 for this college in China. Perhaps the greatest week on Hope's campus is the Religious Emphasis Week sponsored co-jointly by the Y.W. and Y.M. This year Dr. Raymond Lindquist from Orange, New Jersey, acted as leader. His inspiring messages will linger long in the hearts of the students. 97 WOMEN’S GLEE CLUB ' First Row—B. Van Lente, E, Beuker M Brouwer B Christie, B. Van Dyke, P. Haskin, M Korteling, M.

To him goes much of the credit for the rejuvenation and success of the or- ganization. The members worked industriously with their musical selections so that they were well prepared for an intensive eastern tour during the spring. This event was the climax of the singing season. The men sing sacred music, of which Ecce, Quomo- do moritur is an example, as well as secular pieces such as Auf Wiedersehn.

REGISTRATION DAY Potential Students Registration has always been a time of excitement at Hope and this year has proved to be no exception. The nearly block-long lines waiting to get into Graves, the freshmen asking directions, and upperclassmen greeting other upperclassmen, some of whom they had not seen in three years, created an interesting con- fusion on Hope's campus this year. Perhaps selecting a schedule is one of the most dif- ficult parts of registration, for it is at this time that a student, in some respects, takes a step that will decide the entire course of his life But all is not seriousness where registration is concerned. Teas, beach parties, and meeting old and making new friendships, some of which will last for life, take care of the lighter side of the occasion. The local co-eds at the Orientation tea.

Approximately one thousand students, faculty members, alumni and interested spectators lined the opposite banks of the river to view the tra- ditional annual Pull between the Frosh team, which was coached by Junior Con Vander Woude, and the Soph team tutelaged by Senior A1 De Voogd. Although the Soph team was predicted the under- dog because of the vast numerical advantage of the Frosh team, after much hard and steady pulling, the Frosh team SUBmerged as the Soph team Emerged victorious. Thus the humble Freshmen paid with bows and curtsies to the Sophomores as well as the Upper- classmen. At seven-thirty o'clock on the same night, crowds of spectators and Hope College students ambled to Main Street to witness the Homecoming Parade. Each sorority and fraternity entered a float; Queen Myra and her court also appeared. The reactivated band of Hope made its debut at this time under the direction of Mr. Kisinacr of Holland High School. Dressed in orange and blue, with batons twirling, majorettes strutting, and instruments playing, the Band made a colorful spectacle as it marched down Eighth Street. The parade continued down Main Street to Columbia Avenue and finally arrived at Hope College Practice Field. Here a huge bon-fire warmly crackled its greet- ing to all to join in the Pep Rally prior to the Hope- Alrna football game. At this time the Coach and team were introduced and the announcement was made of the winning float, FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS, en- tered by the Sibylline society. With songs and cheers, the Hopeites issued forth the Homecoming spirit, which played such a major role in While the band plays on, Ando's Candies get some free advertising. Swimming in October?

Then off to rest, for the earlv morning brought forth the nine o'clock Thesaurian Breakfast in their sorority room, followed by the Emer- sonian Breakfast in the Marine Room of the Tavern. The Sibyllines held a ten-thirty Brunch at the Dutch Mill, while Luncheons ranging from eleven-thirty to twelve-thirty were attended by the Delphis in the lobby of the Warm Friend Tavern, the Dorians at the Dutch Mill, and finally the Sorosites in the Tulip Room of the Tavern. With flowers and streamers, six thousand Hopeites. alumni and guests appeared at Riverview Park at two o'clock that afternoon to watch the Hope Dutchmen gain a 24-0 victory over the Alma Scots in the comfort of a golden Indian-summer day. During the half-time of the game, Don Scholten, Chairman of the half-time program, presented Queen Myra Brouwer who wel- comed the alumni back to Hope. The band finaled the half-time program by forming an ANCHOR while playing the school song, forming the letters AL lor Coach A1 Vanden Bush as they played For He's A Jolly Good Fellow , an A for Alma and an H for Hope. The announcement that the winning House Decora- tion was won by the T Barracks' Bugs Bunny ' was echoed throughout the audience. Following this vic- torious game, all went to view the House Decorations and chat with old friends. From six to eight o'clock, a Buffet Supper was held in Temple Dining Hall, followed by Open House in Van Raalte Hall, and the dormitories and barracks. And thus the 1946 Homecoming festivities successfully came to a grand and glorious close under the Home- coming Committee headed by Gabbv Van Dis, and composed of Betty Van Lente, Alfy Vander Waa, and Betty Christie.

Fancy pin-stripes, loud ties, plenty of polish combined with the sharpest of creations in female attire to give every formal affair that magic touch. Soft music, low lights, gala decorations, thick sirloins, pun- gent lotions, dreamy perfume, fraternity pins and sparkling diamonds these and many more, the memories of a suc- cessful party season.

It's empty' SPRING ARRIVES j The bright green of spring emerges from the drab grey of winter with a burst of new and different activities on Hope's campus. With the arrival of the energizing time of the year, the appearance of the campus changes as if by magic. Everything takes on a new hue, and it is as if new life has been instilled into every nook and corner. Let us look then at some of the signs that mark this change of seasons at Hope. One of the first signs of this metamorphose can be seen in the preparation for the spring sports. It is said that in spring a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of sports, and by the looks of the athletic field on a warm sparkling afternoon, one can see the truth in this state- ment. But we can see that this is not all the boys' thoughts turn to in this pre-summer season, for while the fellows spend their time practicing for baseball, Spring will be a little late this year proved only too true in southern Michigan, but the photographer did his best as late as possible 110 o thoughts of summer AT HOPE tennis, golf or track, a very appreciative audience con- sisting of the fairer sex is on hand to watch. There was one sign of spring this year which hasn't been found on Hope's campus for a few years. This was the All College Sing which has not been held since 1942. This beautiful musical contest between the fraternities and sororities added a bright touch to the campus. Then as the days grow warmer, and the students be- come restless, a sure sign of changing seasons can be seen in the premature visits to the beach where a few of the luckier individuals acquire a beautiful tan even before summer makes its appearance. Before springtime bows out of the scene making way for summer, the exciting festive event of May Day takes place with its coronation ceremonies, followed by the ful- fillment of a senior's dream—graduation and the thrill of commencement. It's Tulip Time in Holland every year in May SELECTED FEW MAKE WHO’S WHO ggl a c c o ccci W f0' The biographies of thirteen outstanding seniors of Hope College will appear in this year's issue of Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Uni- versities . Those who were honored by this selection were Esther Bogart, Marian Dame, Joanne Decker, Russell De Vette, Vivian Dykema, William Haak, Elaine Meeusen, Harry Meiners, Luella Pyle, Preston Stegen- ga, Arthur Timmer, Robert Van Dis, and Betty Van Lente. The purpose of the national publication is to serve as an outstanding honor in which a deserving student, after displaying merit in college, and accomplishing his goals, would be given recognition. Those thus honored were chosen on a basis of character, scholarship, leadership in extra-curricular activities, and potentiality for future usefulness to business and society. Absent—H Van Di:;.

Only to the junior girl of high character, excellent schol- arship, and active participation in campus ALCOR, WOMEN’S activities goes this outstanding honor. The function of Alcor most familiar to the stu- dents is the operating of the ever-popular Koffee Kletz.

A Ponstein reports to a suggested gesture PI KAPPA DELTA Although on many college campuses the national forensic fraternity has had to dissolve temporarily because of lack of membership, Hope has been able to maintain this organiza- tion throughout the war. Upper class mem- bers of our forensic teams are eligible for membership in this honorary fraternity. For the purpose of acquainting new students with the opportunities on our campus for speech activities. Pi Kappa Delta, in the early part of each school year, sponsors a speech rally to which all interested students are in- vited. Members of the organization explain to newcomers the various activities available for participation — oratory, debate, extem- poraneous speaking and other types of public speaking, and evaluate the benefits to be gained from these activities. Also at this time new students may indicate in which field or fields of speech work they choose to partici- pate. April is the month for initiation of new members and election of officers into the Michigan Gamma Chapter of Pi Kappa Delta. Competently leading the group this year was president Joanne Decker assisted by Luella Pyle as vice-president and Jean Watson as secretary-treasurer. With the doubling of enrollment this year a growth of interest in debate and oratory is evident, and Pi Kappa Delta is looking forward to again attaining the enviable record secured and established for Hope by its members in the past. 114 DEBATE TEAM There are some people who do a great deal of talking yet they say nothing—not so with the Hope Debaters. They not only have some- thing to say but know how to say it in a winning manner. These debate teams have heatedly and repeatedly proved themselves a well articulated group worthy of admiration. Resolved that —was the by-word heard by numerous local organizations in which the debate squads participated in line with a new policy of the speech department uniting Town with Gown. This new type of program not only received encouraging responses from the local audiences but also allowed the members of the squads to gain valuable experience for inter-collegiate meets. Proficiency of the team was also increased by practice sessions with Dr. Schrier and informal discussions among themselves concerning practical problems and their solutions. On February 6, Hope played host to Calvin College at a practice session and on February 13 journeyed to Kalamazoo for another prac- tice meet at the invitation of Kalamazoo Col- lege. These preliminary meets are traditional before traveling to Michigan State College for the State Tournament. This State Tournament has always been the highlight of the year's work for all college debaters. As only six of this year's debaters had had previous ex- perience in college debate, this annual con- clave did not hold the usual numerous winning decisions for Hope. However, for the new de- baters, the value of attendance at this affair should prove itself in future competition. J. Decker's Pleasing Plea. First Row—R. Danhoi. J. Watson. L Pyle, J. Decker.

This service organization composed of fifteen girls, a sophomore, a junior, and senior from each of the girls' so- rorities, is helping the Men's Board of Athletics and the Women's Athletic Association. Today this organization of ambitious girls continues its important function of attempting to eliminate the debts incurred in the year's course in athletic functions. These are the girls who sell popcorn, candy and the ever- popular peanuts and gum at the football and basketball games. Proceeds go for new equip- ment for the athletic groups on campus. Each spring the girls have a dinner at which the new members are chosen. The capable officers for this year are: President, Betty Tim- mer; Vice-president, Barbara Bilkert; and Sec- retary-treasurer, Vada Mae Efird GALS LEADERS IN SPORTS Do you hear the cheering from Carnegie Gym on Tuesday nights after 'Y ? Well, that's the girls' basket-ball teams having a good time. This is just one of the activities the V .A.A. sponsors on Hope's Campus for all athletically minded co eds. From autumn when horseback riding and hiking are favorite sports, through the winter months when volley ball, basket-ball and bowling take the preference, to the balmy days of spring, which calls for tennis, archery and bike hikes, one will find the Hope co-eds good sports enthusiasts. W.A.A. also sponsors the girls track meet which is held May Day morning. And during the spring days soft ball aids in promoting good sportsmanship and fun for the girls. Hope's W.A.A. belongs to the women's di- vision of the M.I.A.A. and participates in play days and tennis tournaments sponsored by this group.

Upon graduation from Hope, the girls banded to- gether under this banner of Kappa Delta will serve the church as either full or part- time workers. Kappa Delta was organized this year to enable all girls interested in Christian serv- ice to acquaint themselves with the oppor tunities and problems of a Christian worker. The meetings consist of devotions led by the members and a talk by various women who are now active in some field of Christian service. Several of the fields of service dis- cussed were: Directors of Religious Educa- tion by Mrs. Edith Walvoord; Kentucky Missions by Miss Reeverts; the problems of the migrant by Mrs. William Bennett; The Indian Mission by Mrs. fames Vos and the work of a missionary in China presented by Miss Geraldine Smies. This year Kappa Delta has contributed to the support of a girl in the Annville Institute in Kentucky. At Christmas time the girls of Kappa Delta sent gifts to the students at this mission. Each year a project in a different field will be chosen. 118 CHEMISTRY CLUB first Row -Dr. Kloinhoksol, T. Moo: Dr VanZyl. G Van Tarr.elcn. G. Toron. Dr Wimmer Second Row—A. Rc-aaon. R Kraay, T.

Weird odors and sights! If you expect to find these things when you visit a meeting of the Chemistry Club you will be sadly disap- pointed. Instead, you will see a group of your own friends eagerly discussing any subject in the field of chemistry in this world of atomic age with the same vigor and enthusiasm they have for the latest news or basketball. This variability in the subjects chosen for deliberation has proved its worth by the fact that it helps many of those interested in the field of chemistry find just what facet of the subject is of par- ticular interest and value to them. It also broadens their knowledge and scientific interest and gives them an idea into what phase of chemistry they would be most likely to succeed. Many members after graduating from Hope have been placed in positions of great importance and promi- nence in commercial industry. Other mem- bers have received scholarships, honors, and assistantships at leading universities and graduate schools. This group of pre-professional chemists delves into contemporary scientific problems and experimentation through the medium of research papers and informal discussions. Guiding the club with inspiring zeal are the sponsors, Dr. Kieinheksel and Dr, VanZyi. 119 MODERN LANGUAGE CLUB Mr. Schoon. Mrs Print Miss Moyer.

The members are firm believers in the adage. ' All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy , and find that the playing of chess helps to round out the play side of their col- lege life. Since enjoyment of the game is the main objective, business meetings are kept at a minimum. Routine reading of the minutes is unheard of, as is the jungle of paid dues in the treasury or the less desirable color of red in the treasurer's book. Most interesting has been the tournament. An onlooker noting the seriousness and pre- cision with which the opponents send forth their men to battle might wonder if the life of a king really were at stake, but it is all in fun- even the crocodile tears which are shed over the loss of a queen. The Club is appreciative of the work of its faithful advisor, Mr. Vander Borgh, and is looking forward to many more successful years under his leadership and direction.

Since the ultimate objective ol this group is to join a national dramatic Iraternity, a great number of changes had to be made in the club’s files and records. Rules had to be established for a minimum of accomplishments that each student v ould have to attain before becoming an active member. Under the active surveillance of capable Edward Avison of the Speech Department, four one-act plays and one three-act play have been given this year. Mr. Avison himself directed the three-act and two of the one-act performances. Sunny Donohue was in charge of one production, and Betty Timmer and Russel Hor- ton competently supervised the other. Anne Vander Veer, the Club's president, v as very pleased with the results of this year’s work. She attributes much of the success to the increasing number of students on campus who are interested in dramatics. Pallette and Masque is now established more firmly than ever , before with a definite goal for which to work. This season could best be called the foundation—the strong foundation from which all future Hope College dra- matic work will arise 122 PHILOSOPHY CLUB President A. Dykstra and Faculty Advisor Dr. Van Saun. Following an absence of several years, the Philos- ophy Club was reorganized on Hope's campus during the fall of 1946. Membership in the organization was open to all students who had taken or were taking work in this lield and were interested in increasing their knowledge oi philosophy. Monthly meetings of the group provided opportunities for the presentation of papers dealing with various phases of philosophical thought and to participate in informal discussions on the origin, history and present status of the schools of philosophy considered. Among those discussed dur- ing the year were: Idealism, Realism, Pragmatism and the philosophy of modern Russia. The members of the Philosophy Club do not pretend to solve any of the many complex problems which man has pondered and studied throughout the ages of his history. Rather, through group and individual thought and reasoning, they seek to acquaint themselves with those problems and with the advances that man has made towards their solutions. In this way it is hoped that a greater appreciation for the philosophical ap- proach to the problems of life will be realized. Dr. Walter Van Saun was the faculty advisor for the group and officers for the year were: Allen Dykstra, president, and Marian Dame, keeper of the archives. 123 ALPHA CHI Alpha Chi was organized in 1940 to provide a means of mutual benefit and fellowship for those men on the campus who are preparing for missionary service or the ministry. This year its membership is the largest in its brief history, numbering more than sixty-five. The name is composed of two Greek letters, signify- ing Angellos Christos, which means Messengers of Christ. Each meeting features a speaker, experienced in the ministry or in missionary work, who deals with some subject pertaining to Christian service. This year a series was conducted, consisting of three divisions: the call to the ministry, preparation for that service, and the ministry itself. Dr. Simon Blocker opened with a talk on The Call to the Christian Min- istry. There followed speakers v ho presented com- plete surrender to the call of God, missionary labors, Christian service during preparation, recreation and social relationships during preparation, pastoral coun- seling, sermon preparation and several other interest- ing and informative subjects.

The club aims to promote literary appreciation by de- veloping a better understanding of tech- niques. trends, and characteristic impres- sions of literature. The meetings give its members of like academic interests an op- portunity to explore fields of literary ex- pression not ordinarily touched in English courses and provides for individual research and critical analysis through the realm of informal discussions. Dr. De Graaf is the faculty advisor and, although all of the department faculty take an active part in the discussions, the stu- dents take complete responsibility in plan- ning and leading the programs.

Many difficulties were encountered, not the least of which was the procurement o: a darkroom. Most of the obstacles have been overcome now that the club is proudly occupying a fine darkroom on the third floor of the Science building. Salon exhibits and contests will be forth- coming. Ade Bos.

To give its members and the entire student body of Hope College a better understanding of current international problems through individual study and group discussions, was the reason for the organiza- tion of this club. Shortly after the adoption of a constitution, the club became affiliated with Inter national Relations Clubs sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment for Peace throughout the United States. This affiliation makes Hope's club the recipient of much valuable material besides keeping members posted on activities of a similar nature on the campuses of other colleges throughout the land. This newly organized club has already furnished panel discussion groups for the student body and organizations in Holland. 127 129 First Row—V. Kraai, R. Koop. A Vander Waa, E Post.

Vanderbush Alter a lapse of three years, the Hope Dutchmen re- newed gridiron competition with a highly successful season. In pre-season practices, new mentor, A1 Vander Bush, assisted by backfield coach, Russ V aters, and line- ccach Roy Davis, molded seventy hopefuls into a varsity squad of forty spirited players vying for the coveted starting positions. The team composed predominately of former servicemen, suffered many minor injuries in the early workouts, but as the first game loomed near, Vander Bush's charges had shaped into a formidable con- tender for the MIAA crown. Although lacking in weight, the team was speedy and shifty, fitting perfectly with the highly deceptive T formation, which it utilized ex- clusively throughout the entire schedule of eight games. Enthusiasm of football fans, both students and local rooters, swelled attendance figures to new highs of five and six thousand, as the Hope cohorts waded through their opponents, winning ail their home games, and los- ing but two outside battles to strong conference foes. Lion's share of the honors fell to Don Schreimer, who was elected both Captain and most valuable player on the Dutch squad, in addition to his unanimous choice on the all MIAA team. Freshman Nick Yonker, flashy ball- handler, and heart of the Hope offense, was also a unanimous choice for the conference squad, while Clair DeMuil, Rip Collins, and Bob Emery were placed on the second team, and Art Timmer and Len Dick received honorable mention. 130 s tf-aatball % INSPIRATION FOR CHEERS D.

The lovely girls in skirts and sweaters brought cheers and whistles and no coaxing was needed to bring forth the hearty Fights . Whether it was at football or basketball games, at pep-rallies or glory-day, these in- spirations for cheers were ever present, bring- ing out the best in all of us. 132 JACK, FRIEND AND HEALER OF ALL Jack Schouten, one o{ Hope's most familiar figures, began his career by playing ball for Hope at the turn of the century. In those days only intra- mural sports were permitted at Hope, and this had little appeal among the more robust athletes. Jack sensed this, hence. Alumni of '14 remember him as the man who championed Hope's first intercollegiate sports program: Hope's first official coach and ath- letic director. He has, during his career, coached football, baseball, basketball, and track. Jack retired from coaching varsity football in 1930 and has since been trainer, baseball coach, and di- rector of the basketball B squads. Our sports will continue to be complete with the presence of Doc Schouten. Dick Higgs, triple threat ex-Marine, is off for a substantial gain in the season's opener against Ferris Institute of Big Rapids. A pass from half-back Art Timmer in the first MIAA contest of the season netted a first down for the local Dutchmen on this play under the arcs at Riverview Park 'The JrloJ] E zehSeK inctl w� � -� H� U| W� . — HOPE RIPS ALB ION 26-0 In the season's opener, the Dutchmen con- clusively squelched any apprehensions as to their power Entering the contest an untested force, battling an unknown enemy, the Orange and Blue ran roughshod over the hapless Ferris opposition, and emerged a triumphant power-laden aggregation. From the opening kick-off to the final gun, it v as Hope all the way Sparked by the flashy running of senior and acting captain Art Timmer. the locals capitalized on two breaks in the opening min- utes, and before ten minutes of the game had elapsed, Hope led 13-0.

Coach Vander 134 A Briton headed for a triangular trap in the strong Dutch line. Bush substituted freely in the last half, and discovered capable reserve strength on the bench which rounded his team into a well-knit unit with ex- perienced, capable men three deep in each position. The regulars and re- serves combined to add two more scores in the final canto, while allow- ing the Ferris stalwarts a single score in the fourth quarter, making the final tally, 38-6. The following Friday night, Septem- ber 27th, the Dutch eleven entertained the highly touted Britons of Albion College, and in perhaps their best game of the year completely outclassed their fighting rivals in a lopsided 26-0 victory. The Dutch attack was again led by Timmer who scored two quick touchdowns in the early stages ol the game, which were followed by a touchdown pass from left halfback, Dick Higgs to Nick Yonker, and cli maxed by a thrilling 43 yard dash by Gabby Van Dis in his first role as a Hope ball carrier. Art Timmer sweeps around end against the powerful Ypsilanti squad Timmer carrying the mail, with all M1AA quarter-bacic Yonker coming in lor interference. 'ftyQjoo HOPE STOPPED Facing one of the best defensive teams of the season, the Orange and Blue were hard- pressed to conquer the persistent forces of Michigan Normal College. In a hotly con- tested first quarter, the ball remained at mid- field as the two forward walls battled furiously, completely bottling up the ball carriers. In the second stanza, however, the Hope crew dem- onstrated what a great and versatile team they really were as they took to the air for two quick tallies to forge into a 13 point lead which they never relinquished. Traveling to the nearby furniture city on October 10th, the Dutch invaded Grand Rapids Junior College and emerged victors from a spiritless game in which the undermanned Junior team succeeded in holding the potent attack of the visiting Hollanders to 6 points un- til the fourth quarter, when a pair of passes. Yonker to Kraai, and DeVette to Buter, placed Hope on top of a 20-0 score. As guests of the Kalamazoo Hornets in the dedication of their memorial stadium. Angel!

Returning to Riverview Park, the Hope varsity bounced back into the win column, showing the homecoming crowd an afternoon of thrills as they scored at will over a stout-hearted Alma crew.

Playing on the rain-scaked field of Island Park in Adrian, the Hope squad overcame stubborn defensive tactics, and the slippery footing, by scoring three touchdowns via the aerial route with passes by De Vette and Yonker giving the Dutch forces a 19-0 win. The host of Hope rooters who traveled to Hillsdale on November 9th, were treated to a brand of bruising, aggressive football, seldom seen in the school's history, as the Dutchmen and the Dales battled for the conference championship. Nick Yonker, with a quar- terback sneak, and a long pass to DeMull gave Hope her first two touchdowns, and Kraai climaxed a long drive v ith a quick- opening play into the enemy end zone aiving the Dutchmen a 20-14 lead as the game drew to a close.

BjoSiUtCf, Epxtfiti BASEBALL The arrival of the first spring breezes of '46 marked the renewal of Hope College's base- ball competition, as veteran coach, Jack Schouten organized the first Dutch team in many years. Gathering a group of men re- cently returned to the campus from the armed service, he worked and molded them into a powerful and aggressive ball club. Opening the season against the Calvin Knights, the Dutch proved themselves a winning aggrega- tion, as they backed up the fine pitching of Van Liere with a barrage of hits netting a total of 12 runs while allowing the Knights a single lone tally in the latter stages of the game.

As the season waned, however, the Oranqe and Blue, crippled by numerous injuries, and untimely errors, lost games to strong teams from Western Michigan, Muskegon Junior Col- lege, and a greatly improved squad from Aquinas, finishing the season v ith a record of 4 wins, 3 losses, and a single tie.

Coach Schouten had whittled his team down to convenient size. The high calibre of ball playing exhibited by the remaining players produced keen and spirited rivalrv for the starting positions, and as the season opener approached, the start- ing lineup was still in doubt, but the first game found Van Liere and Ver Hey handling the pitching assignments, with Hillegons behind the plate, and an infield composed of Hiaas, DeVette, Mulder, and Rotman, while Van Wieren, Van Dorn, and Dorsch covered the outfield. As the Milestone goes to press, this tentative lineup seems to be a winning com- bination, but such stand out reserves as Meeu- sen, Yonker, Appledorn, and Kempker may very well break into the starting nine.

Win- ning its early meets against outside foes, the inex- perienced Orange and Blue team found most of their conference opponents a bit stronger in the overall sta- tistics, but the work of such stellar individuals as Don Lee in the half mile, Vern Kraai in the dashes, and Dell Koop with the discus, served to supply Hope with sufficient points to make each meet a nip and tuck aftair. The annual winter meet of the M.I.A.A, indoor track season held in Jenison field house in East Lansing initiated what seems to be an eventful season for the 1947 Hope thinclads. Lacking the proper facilities for indoor conditioning, the Dutch entered the meet with no practice, but even so made a creditable exhibition, garnering 171 2 points to finish fourth in the standings. 149 Z K P � TRACK, (Cont’d) The Dutch attack was led by Ross who tied for first in the pole vault, and Kraai with a second in the 75 yard dash, while various other Hope speedsters contributed fourths and fifths in other events to complete the scoring. As the weather cleared, and the men moved onto the outside track, prospects loomed brighter, as the various positions were filled and the team took on the semblance of a well stocked unit. Although weakened in many events by graduation and ineligibility, the enthusiasm and hard work of the replacements soon augmented the squad in fashion, and restored the lost power. Since the season is not complete at this writ- ing it would be extremely difficult to single out indi- viduals as exceptional performers, but as we go to press, the single meet, a decisive 74-57 defeat of the Calvin Knights, indicates that the strength of the team lies in the second and third place men. and these players should provide the necessary reserve punch to give Hope a successful season.

Under the guiding hand of Jack Schouten, a committee composed of represenatives from each fraternity and an in- dependent member drew up plans for a bas ketball, softball, and bowling competition. The end of the Christmas recess marked the uneventful beginning of a basketball program destined to be as thrill-packed and hotly con tested as any intercollegiate conference. Di- viding the teams into A and B leagues, consisting of a team from each of the five fra- ternities, and one of independent organization, the committee set the stage for some skillful and typically aggressive intramural action. As the season progressed the closely matched teams made it difficult to pick a favorite, but at the half way mark, the A league had narrowed to two strong teams, the Fraters 153 leading, and the Emmies a close and de- termined second, while in the B league, the style of play and undefeated record of the Frater Squad established them as strong favorites to capture the junior league crown Holding true to their early form, the Frater B' sv ept through the second round, again undefeated, to definitely establish itself as one of the contestants in the championship tilt Hov ever. the A league title was far more difficult to determine. Entering the final game, in which a victory would give them the crown, the Frater A was edged out by an underdog independent five, throwing them into a tv o way tie with the Emmies. The playoff, for the A ' league title, was played as a benefit game for the Sarospatak mission drive, with a hair raising preliminary between the faculty and the senior members of the Varsity squad. The Fraters, leading throughout the first half, fell behind in the third quarter, as the Emmies rained points on the Frater basket, hov ever. the final gun found the score knotted at 31 31. The three minute overtime soon decided the outcome, hov ever, as the Emmies held their opponents scoreless while scoring three swift points leaving them on top of a 34 31 score The next night, the Emmies and Frater Bs . again playing for the Saropatak fund, squared off in the championship battle.

Again each fraternity and the inde pendents were represented by two teams, al- though each week found one of the teams acting as pm boys for the rest of the group. When the final statistics were compiled, the Knicks and the Fraters split the top laurels, as the Frater B team reigned undisputed cham- pions, with the two Knick teams tied for second place, and the Frater A following with fourth place. The high individual game of 231, as well as the highest average, 165, was claimed by Howard Jalving of ihe Frater A , while Boersma and Meengs of the Knicks were close seconds with 164 averages.

WOMEN’S ATHLETICS Girls' Sports came into their own this year when Miss Louise Van Domelon was added to the iaculty of Hope College as head of women's athletics. Miss Van Domelon is actively interested in all types of sports and brings to the campus her ov n vitality plus a shrewd technique for obtaining the best results in whatever game is being played Miss Van Domelon appeared on the scene just as the basketball tournament began. Games v ere played every Tuesday night after Y and presented much in the way of en- tertainment and relaxation. Women's rules governed the play with co-eds serving as referees, flavoring the activity with no small amount of variety. Many mere-maids traveled to Grand Rapids during the winter months to take advantage of the Y.W.C.A. swimming pool. Jack Schouten usually accompanied these splash parties, adding to the fun with his personality stories. Spring brought many of the co-eds out into the open for tennis Practice sessions were held in Carnegie gymnasium before opening of the C'ty courts As soon as weather permitted play began outside, and a tournament was started. Competition for the regular team was par- ticularly keen because of the M I.A.A. contests which were scheduled and every girl was anxious to make the trips. Their first journey was made to Kalamazoo where a meet with Western Michigan college was scheduled. Also on the agenda for spring activities were the twilight softball games. Six teams made their way to the athletic field each week, and keen contests were the result, keen as only a women's game can be. Not uncommon was a gossip session in the outfield during lulls in tlie contest. Unusual enthusiasm was shown in all sports during the fall, winter, and spring seasons. Ice-skating, tobogganing, and skiing v ere en- joyed longer than usual, v hile horse-back riding was delayed because of the long winter. However, the ponies were given more than their share of exercise during the final month of May. Climax of all athletic contests was reached on May Day. Besides being a shining day for the lovelies on campus. May Day presented an opportunity for those v ith athletic prowess to show their might. Track events v ere held in the morning with classes competing against each other. Points were received by winners of the high jump, broad jump, 100 and 220 yard dash and other sprinting events. Later during the afternoon competition was available in the intra-class softball game. Highlight of the day was the playoff for the champion of the tennis tournament. 1 157 INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL The governing body of all fraternities on Hope's Campus is the Inter-Fraternity Council. This ruling body is composed of two repre- sentatives from each of the five fraternities with Dean Milton Hinga acting as sponsor. The purpose of the council is similar to the Congress of the United States in that the men of the council are representative of their fra- ternity and make the laws and regulations that govern the fraternities. Amona the numerous duties to be carried out are the rules regarding rushing, bidding and initiating. Party regulations are set up and grievances of various kinds are ironed out behind the doors of the council chamber. As the power of this body comes from the fraternities, the decisions handed down by the council are always ad- hered to by the fraternities. The council, a compact, informal organiza- tion, is not interested in electing officers, since it was found that business could be ac- complished just as easily without the aid of parliamentary procedure. Dean Hinga acts as moderator and the discussions are carried on through him. A secretary, however, has been appointed to keep notes on the meetings so data may be given the representatives to carry back to their fraternity. Organization and supervision of inter- fraternal sports are carried out by the council. These include basketball, bowling, soft ball, and other tournaments. Indeed, with the men returning to the campus in greater numbers than ever before, the year has been a busy one for the Inter-Fraternity Council keeping the five active fraternal orders within bounds 158 PAN HELLENIC COUNCIL Although one of the least publicized or- ganizations on campus, the Pan-Hellenic Board plays a vital part in its role as advisory board to Hope's six sororities. Pan-Hellenic is com- posed of two members from each of the sororities; a junior member who serves for two years, and a senior member, the Dean of Women. Miss Lichty, and the advisor, Miss Boyd. Under the able direction of this year s presi- dent, Marian Dame, Pan-Hellenic has con- tinued the sponsorship of A.S.A., the freshman girls' sorority which was an innovation of last year. The Pan-Hellenic organization has adopted a new sorority pledging system, pledging girls in their sophomore year instead of in their freshman year as was done pre- viously. This has resulted in giving new girls better opportunities for becoming acquainted with the sororities before assuming member ship. As a direct result of the adoption of this system, the Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority was formed for the freshman girls on campus. Several times throughout the year 1946-47, Pan-Hellenic met with the Inter-Fraternity Council to discuss matters which were of vital interest to both the sororities and fraternities. Because of these meetings a more unified spirit was gained and many problems of concern to all students were brought to the fore. First Row- Miss Boyd, M. Darnc M. Westerinan. B. Bilkert Miss Lichty.

Menchholer, W Kringa, I Yuk CHI PHI Early in October a group of enthusiastic men met for the purpose of organizing a new fraternity to answer the needs of the doubled male enrollment. This group chose the name of Arcadian because of its his- torical significance in ancient Greece. The grandeur of this Greek name is constituted in the three Greek letters, Chi. Phi, Sigma, representing the three virtues of service, love, wisdom. With these three virtues as a foundation the Arcadians began to build. Immediately upon organization a full rush- ing program was successfully carried out by the twenty-four charter members. A fine group of 35 men who accepted the invitation for membership were initiated informally and formally. Ten more members were added to our membership during the second semester: On January 25th, 1947 a forma! party at The Marquee climaxed the activities of the first semester. The program and decorations carried out the theme of Kampus Kapers. The spring informal party was held on May 10th, 1947. Some of the outstanding subjects of the literary meetings were: Footbail Personali- ties, Recorded History of Popular Music,. Reading with Comprehension, and Recon- struction in the Netherlands. During the course of the second semester the fraternity song, March of Brotherhood, was composed and words written by sev- eral of the members. Also the fraternity pin was designed, which symbolized the sig- nificance of our Greek name. The Arcadian members were active in many campus activities during the year. Several were especially successful in college forensics. We v ere greatly pleased with our fraternity chorus which took the first place in interfraternity competition at the All College Sing. The fraternity was also glad •to plan with Alpha Sigma Alpha the first of the Spring series of All College Informal Parties. 160 First Row—D. Shoemaker, B. Geiger, W, Hietbrink, Prof. Brand.

These happy and rollicking strains were long locked in the memory chests of Knicks who packed their books and answered their country's call. Immediately the transfusion of new mem- bers fanned the slow burning embers into a raging fire, and once again the Knicker- bockers began to carry on those social, in- tellectual and moral traditions for which they were founded Organizing the group and indoctrinating the fraternal spirit, which in the past was an integral part of Kappa Eta Nu, was no simple task, but it was suc- cessfully accomplished during the first se- mester by the leadership abilities both of the old members and the new. A dinner at the Marque was the first event in the social calendar; smokers fol- lowed that The term was completed by the Formal Knickerbocker Party held at the Warm Friends Tavern. The second semester again challenged the abilities of the Knickerbockers. Inter- Fraternity Basketball and Bowling took up a great deal of the time of the Fraternity athletes. The All College Sing challenged the more musical. Finally a Spring Informal Party led the way into the summer season. Not only the social traditions were upheld during the year; the intellectual and moral sides were also once again raised to the high station they once held. Devotions, Serious Papers, and the like were presented at each meeting. A Chapel Service was led by a group from the fraternity. For all these activities we owe grateful appreciation to theCollege for its cooperation, to Prof. Harold Haverkamp, the Advisor, and to the Fra- ternity Officers who have guided the way.

OMICRON CO The war completed, Fraters returned to Hope and the good life they left behind. Re- organization was undertaken last year as soon as several Fraters could find time from new- found scholastic zeal. Along with the other fraternities on campus, Fraternal took her place once more to champion men of character and high breeding. The Fraternal Society was started in 1837 at Union College, Schnectady, New York, and thereby holds the unique privilege of being older than the school of which it is now a part. Seven men with virtuous and worthy ideals organized Fraternal, and now seventy-seven men are striving, successfully, to perpetuate this heritage. OKE v elcomed forty-nine new members in December, 1946. Art Timmer wielded the gavel first term. Fraternal meetings were held in classrooms and dark corners of Van Raalte. January eleventh was the date of the winter party at the Women's Literary Club. Members, dressed comfortably in postwar pinstripes, and their dates, attired in gorgeous strapless creations, munched on sirloins and laughed heartily at Frater ' Abe'' Lincoln and his bevy of beautiful co-eds. The annual Washington Stag was held in the Temple Building and proved to be a social and gastronomical success. 'Frater Frolics , a young institution of pre-war days, was again a howling success. The spring sports party v as held in May, The event of a successful Fraternal year. The Fraters also contributed well to campus activities, coming forth with their basketball teams, placing high in spring track meet, and having representa- tives on all college teams and class positions. In this manner, another milestone in Fra- ternal history has been passed. The sun of the Fraternal Crest, though it may be setting for the Seniors, is rising for the Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors. i. 164 First Row—K. Weller, G. Van Tamelen, R. Snow, ! Lincoln. J.

KAPPA EPSILON Frators chuckle at the humorists for the evening. Getting in shape for the Frolics. Cosmopolitans came back to Hope's cam- pus this year after a four year vacation1' and found that many changes had taken place. Cosmo Alumnus, Dr. Lubbers, had become president of the college. The former Cosmo Castle on Thirteenth street had gone the way of all Hope's frat houses (and its furniture and radio now graced the Van Raalte lounge). The ranks of Phi Kappa Alpha had been greatly depleted by the war; but there were many new men on the campus, and Cosmopolitan began its fifty- sixth year by pledging forty-five carefully chosen men to the principles of Friendship, Truth, and Progress. Mr. Clyde Geerlings became the fra- ternity's popular faculty advisor. Clarence Van Liere was elected the first post-war President, and Merle Vanden Berg became Vice-President. Busty Van Dyke kept the records, while LeRoy Sandee regulated the finances. Under this supervision was held a stag dinner during rush week ; this helped new and old Cosmopolitans to get acquainted. And in December an old tra- dition was revived after a four-year lapse, when the Cosmos entertained their sisters , the Delphi, in a joint meeting. Following Christmas vacation those elect- ed for the second term took office. Merle Vanden Berg wielded the gavel. Charles Knooihuizen, as Vice-President, arranged the programs; and Wyba Nienhuis became scribe. At the end of first semester exam week the Cosmos and their guests attended the Cosmo Sweepstakes , a formal party at the Warm Friend Tavern. The v ar has made Phi Kappa Alpha even more truly cosmopolitan ; and this year saw the revived fraternity again take up its place of leadership in every phase of college life. It is with fond memories of fullhearted, manly fellowship that every Cosmo looks back upon the first post-war year of Phi Kappa Alpha. PHI KAPPA First Row G Dykstra, D. Fris, C. Van Liere.

With the cessation of hos- tilities and the return of ex-service men to Hope's Campus, Emersonian again as- sumed her role of leadership among the in- creased student body. At the end of formal rushing, an outstanding group of men were initiated into the Order of Emerson and im- bued with the spirit of Love, Honor, and Success three passwords to a noble and in- spiring life which epitomizes the hopes and aspirations of Emersonian. Starting this new period in Emersonian's life found Dr. Hollenbach, popular English professor, becoming our faculty advisor, joint meetings with Hope's Sororities high- lighted the winter and spring terms. During the first term, the annual Winter party, in the form of an ' Arctic Traveloa was en- joyed by all. Spring found Emersonian once again taking her place in the All Col- lege Sing and May Day activities, as well as producing the long awaited Spring Party. Truly, Emersonian's first post-war year has been one of great benefit to its mem- bers and the College. Once again she has proven her right to a place of leadership on Hope's Campus. With a solid foundation in the present, Emersonian fearlessly and alertly looks to a brilliant future. It has promise of inumerable fulfillments, an un- folding of still greater achievements.

It was organized in 1945 by act of the Pan Hellenic Board, which decided that no girl should be admitted to a regular sorority until her sophomore year. The purpose of A.S.A. is to take the place of sororities for the Frosh Femmes”. This past year, however, the society has played a dual role. With the greatly increased enrollment it would be almost impossible for all the freshman girls to get to know each other. A.S.A. has provided the means of doing so. Meetings were held informally, every other week, in the West Hall lounge, and the two parties given during the year proved that the A.S.A.-ites were just as skilled as their big sisters in the social graces.
