He is chairman of the Athletic Committee. He lias care of the caps and gowns used for gradu- ation and other ceremonies, the public address system used in chapel and the moving picture equipment. His community work has primarily been in Church work. He has given his time to Sunday School. Christian F.ndeavor and the Boy Scouts. A man who does all those behind the scenes jobs. A man whose untiring efforts perhaps goes un- noticed by some students. A man who deserves a great deal of praise for the inexhaustible time and energy he gives to Hope College. Tin's man Clarence Kleis, Chairman of the Physics Department. Professor Kleis is an alumnus of Hope College Class of 1919. He did his graduate work at the University of Chicago and the University of Michi- gan and received his A.M. from the latter. For two years he taught in the Hope Prep department and he then became head of the Physics Department. With sincere appreciation for the part lie has played in our lives and the life of Hope College, for his never-ending interest in the students, and tor his unfailing efforts, we, the class of nineteen hun- dred fifty-one dedicate this Milestone of 1950 to Clarence Kleis. Tribute Dr. Pieters was horn at Alto, Wisconsin on February 5, 1869. He was named for Dr. Albertus Van Raalte, the outstanding leader of the Dutch immigrants in 18-17. When Dr. Van Raalte gave up his pulpit in Holland because of illness, the Rev. Roclof Pieters became his successor, and his young son grew up in the community of the leader whose name he carried. In 1887 he was graduated with honors from Hope College and in 1891 he was ordained to the Christian ministry and commissioned a missionary upon his graduation from Western Theological Seminary. His period of missionary service in Japan lasted until 1925. Upon his return to America, he began the teaching part of his career. After one year at Hope College in the Bible Department, Dr. Pieters was called by the General Synod of the Reformed Church to become a professor at Western Seminary. He again taught Bible at Hope College in 19-17. He is remembered by all as a great man, a fine Christian, and an excellent teacher. The Milestone of 1950 pays its tribute to Dr. Albertus Pieters. 7 3lu jHemoriam Leon Barn urn September 2, 1921 Mohawk, S. Y. July 11. 1949 Albany, N. V. Dr. . E. Kuizenga December 20. 1876 Muskegon.

The man who now serves as the sixth President of Hope, Dr. Irwin J. Lubbers, has held a position on all three. As a student at Hope he distinguished himself in various fields. He gained recognition as a persuasive orator and star baseball player. I’or six years he was a professor at his Alma Mater and at this time gave his talents to every phase of college activity. Now, as President he has reached the top and proved his ability as an efficient executive. Dr. Lubbers has impressed the students and faculty of Hope College for four years. His never-failing smile has made many a freshman feel proud to be a part of Hope College. But this honor is not limited only to freshmen. Anyone whom he meets receives the same sincere greeting. Students on the campus know our president as a kind hearted, friendly man. who has a keen sense of humor and whose sincere interests are in the activities and welfare of the students as well as of the college. 22 Milton Line Hinya, A.M.

CROSS COUNTRY With interest mounting in the sport of Cross Coun- try, Coach Lars Granberg began his second season with fifteen candidates reporting for training. Led by Captain Collins Ottipoby, and Ike Huyscr, the harri- ers won three of their five dual meets, and copped third place in the M. I. A. A. In the seasons first meet at Alma, the Flying Dutch- men outdistanced the Scots for a 24 — 33 victory. Adrian played host to the Orange and Blue and Toledo University in a triangular match, which the Granberg men took by a score of 23. 46, and 39. Hope College and Huyscr won their third straight race of the year in the Hillsdale Homecoming meet, by taking five out of the first six places. The final tally read 16 to 47. On November 3, the harriers suf- fered their first defeat of the season at the hands of the strong Albion Britons. The next week the Dutch again tasted defeat, this time edged by two points by the K College Hornets. On November 13, forty-two men descended on Hope’s campus for the annual M. I. A. A. meet. Paced by speedy Ted Hagadone, Albion again took home the bacon, and although Ike Huyscr came in a close second, the Hollanders had to be satisfied with Umbrella weather for the W. I. A.

FOOTBALL After losing only two of his 19-48 letterman through graduation, Coach AI Vander Bush found himself in possession of a well-balanced squad of sea- soned veterans and promising freshmen.

Following a scoreless first quarter, Yonker aerials found their way into the arms of Holwerda and Van Wingen, who stepped across to leave Hope with a 14- 0 bulge at the intermission. In the second half, De Mull pulled down another pass, and scampered 52 yards for Hope's third tally. Adding insult to injury, both Zwtincr and Van Ingen found pay dirt via the ground route, to give Hope a comfortable 3 — 0 victory. The following week, the orange and blue played host to Monmouth College. After a hard fought first quarter, the Hollander's air attack again began to click, as De Mull lugged the ball across for six im- portant points. Holwerda converted, and the half ended with the home squad on the long end of a 7-0 count. Throughout the second half the see saw battle continued, until the final gun found Mon- mouth still in possession of the ball on Hope's 1-yard line. However, the all-important scoreboard still read Hope 7 Monmouth 0. Traveling to Alma, the Dutchmen avenged last year’s 25 to 13 defeat, snapping the 13-game win- ning streak compiled by the 1948 champions, by a 20-0 score. Striking early. Center Bill Bocks inter- copied an Alma aerial to give Hope possession on the opponent's 34-yard line. Several plays later, that now famous Yonker-to-Holwerda combination handed Hope a 7 point margin at the half . In the third quarter, Eddie Leverette squirmed across from the 2-yard line, and soon afterward, freshman half- back Ron Applcdorn raced 12 yards to pay dirt. Alma drives in the fourth quarter were repulsed by the stubborn Dutchmen, who remained unscored upon, and established themselves as a leading contender for the 19 IV league crown. Coach A1 Vander Bush next took his men to HOPE bb 13 D 20 ALMA □DOB B HOPE BB 14 B 27 ADRIAN DDD 14 14 Adrian, where a highly-touted Bulldog squad final- ly succeeded in cracking the Dutch goal line twice in the last quarter. However, end sweeps by Eddie Leverette and Ron Applcdorn matched Adrian’s ef- forts, while Yonker clicked to De Mull, and scored himself on a quarterback sneak, to leave the Bulldogs on the short end of a 27 - 14 score. Returning home, the Dutchmen took on a rugged Bearcat aggregation in this year's Homecoming tilt. Living up to their press reports, Hillsdale racked up 13 points in the first quarter. Soon after the start of the second period, Holwerda gathered in a So bolt that time, . Hillsdale piles up a Dutch bull carrier Yonkcr aerial, and slipped across the double stripe to put Hope back in the game. Another late drive- stalled on the Hillsdale 6-inch line, but De Mull made the best of it, slamming Hillsdale’s Bill Young to the turf in the end zone for a safety, and two more points. This left the Bearcats with a shaky 13- 9 lead at half time. After the intermission, the orange and blue began to roll, but successive drives were stopped on the 10, 8. and 4-yard lines by a superb Hillsdale defense, and when the gun sounded, a dismayed Hope squad found that the scoreboard still read. Hillsdale 13 Hope 9. With a brief time out from league competition, Hope traveled to Ypsilanti, where they took advan- tage of the hospitality offered them by dumping the Michigan Normal Hurons 16 6.

Holwerda booted all three conversions, and Hope found them- selves in possession of win number six. Closing out a successful season at Riverview Park, the Dutchmen humbled Kazoo's troublesome Hornets, piling up 55 points to the latter's 13. Appledorn, Van Ingen, and Leverette each contrib- uted 6 points, while Van Wingen added a double blow to the Hornet's downfall. Holwerda and Zwcmer chipped in to the tune of 5 conversions, to make up Hope's 35-point total. Among others to win post-season honors was Cen- ter Gene Campbell, a Muskegon Junior, who was elected as captain of the 1950 grid team.

Taking on any and all comers, the 1949 irosh team finished the season with a record of five wins and eight losses. The team, which is composed largely of boys with some high school ex- perience, rarely fails to develop some talent, which is either switched to the varsity, or moved up the following year. The 1949 sejuad won every game played against city league teams, but dropped two games to Calvin, and an equal number to Hillsdale and Kalamizco. Most of these tilts were dropped by very close mar- gins, in the last few seconds of play. Heading the list of individual scorers for the past season was Bouman with 142, followed by Van Wicren with 131, and Appledorn with 128. 87 A. D. D. First Row: J. Baker. G. Keizer. J. De Boer, J.

BASEBALL Spilt (.ills 'em during warm-up The beginning of a bad inning in the Hillsdale game With lettermen returning at almost every position. Coach Jack Schoutcn is eyeing the first place slot in the 1950 M.I.A.A. race. Besides such mound vet- erans as Vcr Hey, Buckhout. and Hoffman, Jack can depend on such men as Harvey behind the plate. Marcma, Brummels and Mull on the sacks. Van 89 Hovcn at short, and Van Wingen, Hardy, and Boeve in the outfield. Add to these a good turnout of new men, and you can see why Jack is looking so happy these days. The Dutch squad won a total of eight games, while dropping six, for a .571 average. In conference play they absorbed three defeats, while winning only two, to wind up in third place in the M.I.A.A. During the course of the season, the Dutchmen whipped Muskegon J.C. twice, and Alma, Ti ll me Inch, Jiil you connect, or miss? ferry (Casey) Mull at the but 90 Aquinas, and Grand Rapids J.C. once each. They split home and home series with Kalamazoo, Calvin, and Western Michigan, while finding Albion, Adrian, and Hillsdale too strong. Four of these losses were by one-point margins, with the Adrian game going ten innings. This year, with experienced men at every position, and eight home games scheduled at Riverview Park, it is easy to see just why Jack believes his team can be a valuable aid in the race for the All-M.I.A.A.

In order to keep alive any chance of capturing the All-M.I.A.A. trophy this year, the cindermen must bring in at least a third place in the conference. To do this.

The hurdles find Ken Decker hack, while Borgman and Yonkman can be depended on for points in the javelin and high jump respectively. However, much will depend on the accomplishments of a promising crop of newcomers. Among the men to watch will be Jack De Waard in the hurdles, Ken Otto in the dashes, Chuck Dykstra in the 440 and broad jump, and Neil Droppers and Herb Wagemaker in the shot put and high jump. If they, and some of the others can come through with some badly needed | oints, the Dutch squad may well prove to be the dark horse in the 1950 M.I.A.A. race. 93 Warm L’{ Up and Our Ross sails skyward Van Hi’cst, Campbell, Van Zoeren. and Thompson on the last lap Last year's team opened the season with a dual meet at Calvin, where they made a good showing before bowing by a score of 66-51.

Returning home, the Orange and Blue again con- fronted a strong Calvin squad. Although Hope won eight of a possible 14 first places, the- Knights picked up enough second and third place points to tip the scales in their favor. Albion next showed their heels to both Kazoo and Hope, as they broke three track records in amassing 921 2 points for an easy victory.

Several girls were guests of Calvin College in the annual Hope-Calvin play day. W.A.A. also sponsored a play day for students of surrounding high schools. At the end of the year, awards were given to those who attended the required points in both individual and team sports.

With the opening chords of the First Movement under the direction of Doris DeVette, accompanist Barbara Eilander, and com- posers Marge Angus and Alicia Van Zocrcn, the Del- phi musicians gathered at the Sluyter Cottage for their annual house party. The first aria began to the tune of the Round Robin Tea and the Delphi fashion show. Auditions from prospective pledges, reaching approval, new apprentices and members spent a delightful pledge- night at the Ranch House in Grand Rapids. The second aria began at an even pulse, but dynamics increased when Dec Frey ling reigned as Homecoming Queen. The Second Movement began and the score was transferred to Dorothy Krancndonk as director, Ann Wolters as accompanist and Roberta Swandcr as com- poser. The first aria took place Christmas at the Dutch Mill for an early morning tune-up. 'Ilie New Year began with rhythmic smoothness for the second aria, January Jinx” held at the Pantlind Hotel. The Third Movement of the Dcuphi Symphony began in tones of perfect resonance with Margery Angus, Janice VanderBorgh and Isla Streur and the St. Patrick's Day potluck. As the symphony drew to a close, the tempo increased as the- musicians played at the all day Spring Party and the spring house- party. Old musicians retired with sad farewells as the final strains died away. 113 Sack time? ? ? ? ? Redecorating Dorian. i Dorians may look back on another year filled with delightful and amusing memories. Activities began at the traditional house-party where, aside from eat- ing, and roaming around, we actually elected officers. Esther Schmidt, Bea Vander Ploeg, Nancy Smith, and Margaret Moerdyk formed the executive com- mittee for the fall term. At our ever-impressive formal initiation ceremon- ies, eight new members joined the camaraderie of Dorian. They were given the yellow rose, the symbol ol Dorian friendship. Homecoming is always an event for Dorians be- cause of the traditional breakfast, at which old friendships are renewed and new ones are formed. Dorians attended the Homecoming Game as a soror- ity, as usual. In the winter election, Gertrude Kloosterman, Maisic Korteling, and Nancy Smith were elected to guide us through the big occasion of the formal party, A Dreamer’s Holiday”. The party is a festivity which few Dorians will forget. Dorian The Penny Carnival is another cause lor celebra- tion for Dorians, because we won the cup” for the best booth! Did you see Bonaparte? Or the Fall of China? Another activity which we will remember always was our participation in the All-College Sing. Many a lung was burst during our strenuous rehearsals. All good things have a habit of coming to an end too soon, and so Dorians c lose, with regret, the book of memories of this, the twenty-ninth year of lasting friendship, of Kappa Beta Phi.

Sibylline, we’ll be to you ever loyal and true— ” these words to the Sib Hymn sounded forth with new gusto as Sib Sisters” gathered to begin a new year with breathless anticipation. Initial interest was the Round Robin Tea plans with Mood Scenes” as a program, giving the new sophomores a preview of sorority life. Bidding began and results were the ranks ot the graduated seniors well refilled. The old and new members got informally acquainted along the 4-mile trail . Yet formal initiation was still a thing of the future. In a solemn impressive ceremony, by the warm glow of candlelight, the pledges were admitted to lull membership into the sorority. Laurel wreaths and roses adorned the new members and the weeks fol- lowing the girls sported the older members sorority pins. Lassies learned about sorority life further around homecoming time when they had a big homecoming dinner with the alumnae. Although we didn't get the prize, we were proud of our impressive float called, The Star of the West”. Tie my shoelace, slave. Laughter and song filled the air as Sibyls and their escorts went for a gay November hayride. Food and fun rounded up a good evening lor all. Inevitably, it comes to the time of the formal party and all the Sibs and their escorts went out to the party with a dreamy atmosphere to the scene of the Winter Wonderland . Novel notions were always in order at the many joint meetings. We began practice for the sing, and plans for the spring party which was a play day for all. Enjoyment is what the Sibs stand for. now and later! 117 Soros is Looking back on its forty-third year. Sigma Sigma finds a year filled to overflowing with Sorosis spirit. The Gay Nineties Review” introduced the Sopho- mores to Sorosis at the Round Robin Tea and soon afterward, new pledges were entertained at the Bakes in true Sorosis style. Homecoming brought all Sorosites out to luncheor with their sister Alumnae at the Tulip Room in the Warm Friend Tavern. Sigma Sigma colors adorned the lapel of each member along with a big golden crysanthemum, and Sorosites proudly took honorable mention for their Homecoming float. One chilly night in November Sorosites gathered with their dates for an informal party at Miller’s Barn where a blazing fire warmed the hearts as well as the toes. The annual Christmas Tea was held in gay holiday spirit with election of officers for another year as Sorosites joined in wishing all a Merry Christmas. January rolled around and excitedly Sorosites worked and planned for their formal party. The Night of Knights” arrived and proudly Sorosis dis- played its talent in a gay evening at the Continental Room of the Hotel Pantlind. With March came the All-College Sing and Soro- sis once again raised its voice in unsurpassable quality as Without a Song was sung. A Spring party brought along more happy times for Sorosites and their beaux. With Spring came thought of graduation and after a house party for the Senior girls, Sorosis dosed the door on its forty- third year and looked forward to one just as fine in the following year.

Theta Gamma Pi 120 Welcome to Theta Gamma Pi Theta's pose after a great performance. Siting your partner. The ringing of the school bell in September found all the Thetas eagerly renewing friendships and mak- ing plans for the coming year. The first event on the calendar was the Round Robin Tea. This was hard work but fun and it was not long before we were welcoming our new members at the informal initi- ation. Our engagement pad next showed Homecoming rolling around. Present members and alumnae alike- enjoyed renewing acquaintances at the tea and foot- ball game. Our float also made a good showing in the parade. The next date of importance on our calendar was formal initiation. At an impressive candlelight cere- mony our pledges became full-fledged Thesaurians. The sorority song took on a new meaning as we clasped hands with our new sisters. Land of the Midnight Sun was the theme of our informal party. The Thetas declared this hayride one of the most successful in Thcsaurian History. The refreshments served afterward at the Marqee were also of the best. Spring semester brought with it the Penny Carni val with the Theta Nicolodian. the All-College Sing, and the most important of all. our formal party on April 28. Theta officers are Lorraine Van Farowc, president; Hleanor Robinson, vice-president; Lucille Fikse, sec- retary; Louise Lola, treasurer. It is with sadness that we bid farewell to our senior members who have now joined the ranks of our alumnae. Thesaurians can sit back with pride and look upon the past year as a most successful one. I beset nrian 121 And so I believe in Theta Gamma Pi. • President McDowell gives the scoop. An enthusiastic group of freshman girls met for the first time at West Hall for the opening of the first semester. Everyone was anticipating the fun and companionship of Alpha Sigma Alpha, and they cer- tainly were not disappointed. A. S. A. proved to be a wonderful way to make new friends and become better acquainted with our classmates by having many happy times together. The first enterprise of the year was the float designed for the Homecoming parade. Preceding the parade a breakfast was held at the Mary Jane Rest- aurant. Members went to the football game together, all wearing yellow mums tied with blue bows. On December ninth A. S. A. members and their guests were entertained at the Candy Cane Capers , an informal Christmas party held at the V. F. W. Club. The rooms were cleverly decorated, a fine pro- gram was presented and lots of Christmas spirit was evident. The A. S. A. girls wearing colorful cottons added a gay touch to the All-college Sing. The officers for A. S. A. first semester were Connie Boersma as President, Esther Kenney as Vice-presi- dent, Barbara Soper as Secretary, and Maxine Mulder as Treasurer. With the second semester, they relin- quished their positions to Louise McDowell, Jackie Mendendorp, Jeanette Kruiswyk, and Arlene Ritsema respectively. Cooperation was the keynote of Alpha Sigma Al- pha this past year and every girl reluctantly leaves with the feeling of enrichment, because we are Sis- ters all, ever present to the call of Alpha Sigma Alpha.” Whose move?

This fall, the Chi Phi Sigma's got off to a good start with a skating party at the North Shore Club for pledges and guests. During Homecoming week- end, they entertained alumni and pledges at an alumni breakfast held at the Warm Friend. The Arcadian's also decorated the stands for the game with Hillsdale. At the end of Rushing Week, twenty-four new members were pledged, and later they were formally initiated into Chi Phi Sigma at an impressive candle- lit service held at the Dutch Mill. The new pledges brought the ranks to sixty-two. A hay ride was held before Christmas vacation that was one of the outstanding events of our calen- dar. The annual formal party was held at the Pantlind Hotel in Grand Rapids, February 3, using Snow- man's Carnival as its theme. Co-chairmen Kenneth Kleis and Paul Warnshuis are to be complimented for the fine planning evident in the resulting fes- tivities. The Virtuoso Elections were again held at the end of January. First semester president Harvey Moes turned over the gavel to Kenneth Leestma. who relinquished his duties as first semester vice-president to Elton Bruins. Secretary Donald Hoffman passed on his duties to Hendrik Parsons, while Burrell Pennings handed down the duties of treasurer to Daniel Hakken. The Arcadians are still managing the World Adventure Series under the sponsorship of the college and the response to our CARE programs has been gratifying. Chi Phi Sigma has lived up to the ideals of Ser- vice, Friendship, and Wisdom very well. Arcadian Soft ami low Revenge 125 Silent Night Ah! Victory! Cosmopolitan The Cosmopolitan Fraternity has added another milestone to the growing brotherhood of Phi Kappa Alpha with friendship, truth and progress as its guid- ing force. The opening of another year at Hope brought back faithful Cosmos eager to renew old friendships. William Jellema was elected to the presidency and was assisted by Robert Becksfort. vice-president and Kcppcl Cloctingh, secretary. John VerGeer became the exchequer and Prof. Kenneth Weller acted as faculty advisor. A whirlwind of rushing with Robert Van Eene- naam as chairman found pledges acquiring new fashions and enjoying delicious meals”. Soon after the rushing period, new Cosmos were impressively welcomed into full membership. The Cosmos captured the float trophy at the Home- coming parade as a reward for many hours of toil under the direction of Doug Lenimen. December found the fraternity selecting a new group of leaders, headed by Max Frego, president. John Stephens, vice-president and Lamont Dirkse. secretary. Taking a breather from winter, Cosmos and guests were whisked to the tropical splendour of a South Pacific” rendezvous at the Morton House. Captain William Neathammer led the cruise. Other outstanding achievements of OKA were: capturing second place in the All College Sing, rating high in intramural basketball, and leading all fraternities in scholastic standing. For the third term. Robert Becksfort was chosen to wield the gavel with Keppel Cloetingh as vice- president and James Patterson as secretary. The finale of the year was the spring party with Gene Marcus as chairman. Becks scores again! 126 First Row: J. Stephens, C. Otte, J. Vergeer. W. Mackay, M. Frego, L. Dirkse. E. Knooihuizen, C.

The growth of the society since its inspiration in 1919, the unity of endeavor and common objective during the first struggling years, and its culmination in one of the campus’ very active organizations, has shown how adequately Emer- sonian has cherished its precious ideals. The fall of 1949 found the society getting off to a good start with Robert A. De Young as President, Harold Hap Bos assisting as Vice-president, Ed Kerle recording the activities and Paul Alderink guar- dian of pecuniary resources. Thirty-one of the campus' freshmen were initiated into the mysteries and ramifi- cations of fraternity life. The winter party entitled Manhattan Memoirs” proved to be a scintillating success. With the new semester came the inauguration of three new officers, each one very capable at his post; Larry Masse as President, Hank Meyer as Vice-presi- dent. and Dick Kruizinga as secretary. Early spring found the Emersonians working hard with their director of the All-college Sing. Then later came plans for the spring party, which was enjoyed by all. May Day gave the members a chance to get back into shape for some healthy competition in ath- letics with the other fraternities on campus. Joint meetings with Hope's sororities were other highlights of the year. With a solid foundation in the present. PHI TAU NU looks to a brilliant future of loyalty, friendship and cooperation with all. 129 Dapper Dan Dt Young, Hope's most eligible bachelor. No strain, no f am Fraternal Swells like we're netting, close Another 116th year of the Fraternal Society has drawn to a successful close. After the rushing period, twenty-seven Praters were formally initiated in a ceremony at Hope Reformed Church. The first event for Praters, young and old and their guests, was enjoyed at the Country Club following the home- coming football game. The high-light of the first semester's program was the winter formal held at the Rowe Hotel in Grand Rapids, presided over by officers: Paul Hendrickson, Bob Koop, Myron Van Ark. and Fred Brieve. A dinner at the Marquee marked the annual Washington Day Stag, a fine beginning for the second semester activities under the new leadership of officers: Bob Koop, Henry Visser, Glenn Blocker and Fred Brieve. Joint meet- ings with the Cosmopolitan and Finer onian fra- ternities and the Sorosis sorority were held during the year. The Prater Frolics, a featured event on the college campus calendar was again the talk of the town. On May Day the Fraternal society showed exceptional ability at the track meet continuing the high attain- ments- shown by their league basketball teams. The Spring party found Praters and guests enjoying games, dancing and fellowship before the Swan Song,” the final event of the year. For the seniors, it revived many memories of former Prater events. Phis was the parting of the ways for many Prater brothers and the final handclasps were given, with the thought uppermost in every heart: The sun never sets on the Fraterna!

Not to be forgotten, the Winter Formal at the Morton House in G. R. with the theme ol Can- nonball’' and the Spring Party which was so much fun for all. The Knicks entered in on the inter fraternity sports. May Day events and the All-College Sing. All events were entered into with spirit from all the Knick men. Probably the highlight of all the fraternity proj- ects was the adoption of Eliftherios Sfachtos, a Greek war orphan, who is known to us as Butch. Kappa Eta Nu takes great pride in being the foster fathers of this boy who was not so fortunate as others. The purpose of this adoption was to the- honor of those who gave their all to save us. So it is another memorable year passed with fel- lowships and friendships. Memories are truly great to possess, but unfortunately, they are- not active, living symbols. A goal worthwhile to carry with us throughout the world is one of our Knick alumnus. I.et each one of us put into our daily living, the principles and ideals we have gained together as fraternity brothers. This year's officers were as follows (1st semester followed by 2nd semester): President, Paul Cook and Jack Ryskamp; Vice-president, Jack Ryskamp and Martin Mepyans; Secretary, Jack Brinkerhoff and Charles Link; Treasurer, La Verne Sikkema and Gordon Moore: and Sargeant of Arms, Wayne Fieldhousc both semesters.

Homecoming Weekend It's, during Homecoming Weekend each fall that many friends and alumni come back to Hope to reminisce and meet their friends. This year the de- lightful date was set for October 21-23. Friday began the festivities with the Frosh-Soph Pull. This tug-of-water with each team on op- posite sides of the Black River was the culmina- tion of the rivalry between the freshmen and sopho- mores which began when school opened in Septem- ber. Crowds along the banks awaited this final take- off. The Frosh were especially eager to win for more reasons than that of being pulled through the river and getting wet. Victory would mean they wouldn't have to pot to Sophs as they did to upperclassmen. But -as usually happens, the Sophs won again this year and joyously lorded it over the Freshmen. That night was the big pep rally in Carnegie Gym. Cheers and songs were rehearsed for the game on Saturday. Coach VandenBush expressed some of his hopes and plans for victory. Then the two nominees for Hornetoming Queen from each tlass were es- corted to the stage by members of the football team. Captain Abe Moerland placed the blue velvet crown upon Dolores Freyling, Grand Rapids Junior, and fastened a shiny gold football on a chain around her neck. The rally was over and outside on the athletic field blazing fireworks spelled HOPE. The u t niiig C.osttto Horn. Honorable mention Sorosis and Emmie MO On Saturday morning was the parade of floats. The general theme was song titles and the Cosmo- politan Fraternity ran away with highest honors showing how to Blow (Mow) the Man Down.” Sorosis and Fmersonians tied for honorable men- tion. The Game, of course, was the biggest event. Much to everyone's disappointment Hope lost the game 13-9 to Hillsdale. Our chance for the conference championship went with it, so defeat was doubly hard to take. During the half, the winners of dorm decorations were announced. Columbia Cottage and Columbia Court took honors. Other events on Saturday were society social hours with alumni, the alumni dinner at Hope Church, a play given by Pallettc and Masque, and Open House in all the- dormitories at night. The day was not long enough for all the excitement planned. Sunday con- cluded the- weekend with an inspiring Vesper Service in our college chapel. This proses the-, n .d.

Once again the All-College Sing has culminated weeks of practice and planning. Although started only seven years ago, this annual contest has grown to he one of the major events in the college calen- dar. One of the reasons for this is that every sorority and fraternity on the campus enters the contest. Since there is a rule that every member ol the society must participate, a majority of the college students take part in the Sing. Interest, spirit, and cooperation on the part of the whole student body are at their highest peak during the weeks preced- ing this event. Each society is rated by points on such items as tone, interpretation, technique, direction and general effect. The evaluation of these qualifications is de- termined by judges chosen from near-by commu- nities. The All-College Sing is entirely a student pro- duction. Each group selects its song, director, and ac- companist. There is no faculty assistance in the preparation of the selections. This brings out student musicianship which has not been realized before. The amount of talent on our campus is often surprising. Two students appointed by the Student Council are in charge of the general planning of the contest, and they, in turn, choose other students for particular duties. Each year finds that the difference in points be- tween the societies grows smaller and smaller. This year the first place winners of the coveted cups were the Sorosis Sorority and the Arcadian Fraternity. The Arcadians took first honors last year also. Second places were awarded to the Delta Phi Sorority and the Cosmopolitan Fraternity. Student co-chairmen of the All-College Sing this year were Jeanne Ver Beck and Robert Westcrhof t. Through their efforts and through the co-operation of each fraternity and sorority, the Sing was again a highlight of the year. Student Council . Freshman gets the word. This year under the able leadership ol President Nick Yonker and Evelyn Van Dam Vice-President, the council, consisting of representatives from each sorority and fraternity, V. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A.. W.A.L., each class and three faculty members, has achieved an admirable list of accomplishments. Ever alert to campus needs the Council inaugu- rated two major steps in the field of recreation. They secured permission for and carried out numerous social functions at the Woman’s Literary Club after all home athletic contests. They also opened, fur- nished, and operated a Common's Room for all students in the basement of Van Raalte. These afore- mentioned activities are all in addition to the regular annual affairs sponsored by the council such as the Freshman and All-College Mixers, Homecoming, Dutch Treat Week, the Nykerk Cup contest and the All-College Sing. More serious business was that of putting the present Chapel system in effect and the formation of Student-Faculty Committees. The council is the student's means of voicing opinions in college gov- ernment, and it is up to the individual students, and the organizations, to make use of this system. f' nt Rou. R Hill. li.

Davis, the Men's Glee Club started an in- tensive rehearsal schedule early in the fall. For more than half the members, tins was to be the fourth year of sinking in the group. This experience com- bined with a spirit of comradeship welded the group into a well-balanced glee club. The high point of the year was a short trip in the spring. After several pre-tour concerts in and around Holland, the Glee Club went on tour through Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan. The Men's Glee Club has always been a great favorite with lovers of good music in the past, and this year's club lived up to all expectations. A com- plete concert was comprised ot approximately twenty numbers, some sacred, the majority secular in nature. Numbers included were the I;irst Psalm , by I.a Forge, the Negro spiritual, There Is A Balm In Gilead”, Friml's rousing March of the Musketeers” and the modern arrangement of Tar- antella , by R.

Officers of the year were: President, Margery Angus; Secretary, Dona Sluyter; Treasurer. Phyllis Sherman. The girls made an excellent appearance this year in their blue and orange robes and in their new white formal gowns.

Chapel Choir The Hope College Chapel Choir is an organiza- tion composed of approximately seventy voices which participates in all chapel exercises and often presents special choral numbers. The choir also takes part in College convocations and commencements. Under the very capable direction and guidance of Mr. Harvey O. Davis, a newcomer to Hope College's Music Department, the choir enjoyed a very suc- cessful year of music, participating in two full- length concerts. The choir program this year was composed of choral numbers by masters from various periods of music history. The largest single number was the scene from the oratorio, Elijah . Other 19th Century composers represented on the program were Cretehaninoff, Glinka, and Elgar. Works of Bach. Haydn and other 18th Century masters were sung. The great polyphonic era of the 16th century was represented in compositions by Victoria and Pales- trina. Kodaly's Hymn to King Stephen,” added a modern touch. The choir officers for the year were as follows: President, Harlan bailor; Vice-president, Paul Kranendonk; Secretary, Marilyn Vcldman; Li- brarian.

Marching Band only Growing by leaps ami bounds the College Band opened the school year with fast tempo martial music and colorful formations by entertaining large- crowds between halves at all home football games. The band continued its entertainment by playing at all home basketball games under the direction of student conductors. Concerts were given in February, April and an outdoor concert in the pine grove in May. Other events including the Halloween, Homecoming and Tulip Time Parades, the May day crowning of the Queen and several pep rallies found the band in attendance. This year the members of the band wish to pay tribute to Director Rider. It has been through his expert guidance, human understanding and extreme interest in his work that the band has reached its present height. We say thanks and good luck. 150 HOPE COLLEGE ORCHESTRA PERSONNEL 1949-50 MORRETTE RIDER Conductor The Hope College Orchestra, under the direction of Morrette Rider, had a busy season during the 1949 50 college year. Three concerts were given on campus plus the accompaniment of choir and soloists in Hope's annual presentation of Handel’s Messiah and during the spring, the orchestra gave special con- certs in Grand Rapids, Muskegon Heights and Zeeland. The programs of the orchestra were built around a solid core of classical music, but modern music was given a prominent place in each concert. This pro- gressive tendency on the part of the orchestra was well received by the audiences.

Alpha Chi Alpha Chi lias been organized since 1940 to pro- vide for the spiritual needs of those young men on the campus who are preparing for the ministry or tor missionary service. The name is made up of two Greek letters, signifying Angellos Christos, which means. Messengers of Christ , Tlie group meets once each month, featuring a speaker, experienced in the ministry or in missionary work, who deals with some subject pertaining to Christian service. Joint meetings with the sister or- ganization, Kappa Delta, also make for some of the highlights of the year. The Adelphic Societ)’, rep- resenting the Seminary men of Western Theological Seminary, also exchange visits. Alpha Chi officers who served this year were: Leon Dykstra; President; Levi Akker, Vice President; Curl Schroeder. Secretary; and Robert Hcnningcs, Treas- urer. 152 First Row: .V Ten Brinke, P.

Each meeting brought a challenge and inspiration as vc traveled to different countries to share the- joys and difficulties of these people. We went to Hungary to become better acquainted with Dr. Elizabeth Balazsi and her people. l;or each coun- try, Christ was found to meet their ever)- need. A new project the girls undertook this year was the giving of a missionary play, If 1 Be His Disci- ple by Elliott Field. This proved of real blessing to the cast and also to our guests Alpha Chi. Other pro- jects included the sending of a mission box at Christ- mas to Mescalero, New Mexico. The officers serving this year include Lorraine Van Farowe, president, Pauline Hendreith, vice-pres- ident; Louise Loula, treasurer; Patricia Stagg, sec- retary; and Shirley Hill, sergeant-at-arms. 153 one First Rote: D.

Since its organization in 1937 the Philo ophy Club lias been one of the most active clubs on the campus. Membership consists of students and faculty members interested in discussing the age old prob- lems of philosophy. The Philosophy Club docs not claim to have successfully answered the cjuestions that have troubled men for centuries but it feels it has achieved success by encouraging interest in this vital subject. Monthly meetings were varied and interesting. The American philosophy class began the series with the presentation of a paper on the Transcendentalism of Emerson.” A paper presented by Allen Dykstra, a student at Western Seminary, provided the basis for an interesting discussion. Two meetings were held with Ethics being the center of discussion. Papers Philosophy Club were presented by Karel Botermans a student irom the Netherlands, and David Ter Beest. Platonism was the center of interest at two meetings. Burrell Pennings and Floyd Goulooze read papers on this topic. Nick Yonker provided the final paper. Officers for the year were Ronald Rosenberg, Pres- ident and Mervyn Shay, secretary-treasurer. Dr. Van Saun acted as faculty advisor. 154 First Row: H. Dykstra, Mr. Vanderham, J. Busman. L.

I.amont Dirksc, the Sociology Club this year became one of the most active organizations on Hope's campus. The forty active members meet on the first Monday of every month. The meetings are open to all students majoring in Sociology and any others who are interested in social work and its progress. Interesting speakers from the various fields of social work were engaged and their lectures inspired each one who was present. Besides the many minor trips taken by the Club a visit was made to the Ionia State Reformatory. After an observation tour through the institution, the mem- bers met in Cell No. 6”. where a question and answer period was conducted by Warden Heynes, the head of the Reformatory. On April 22 and 23, the members motored to Chicago to visit the Settlement Houses. The Club members received a great deal of practical knowledge from these trips. The final meeting was held at Roger Gunn’s cottage on Lake Michigan. Mr. Vanderham’s and Mrs. Hadden's help as co- sponsors did much to aid the club during the past year. 155 n Veltman J Vinkemulder, Miss Rccvcrts , rf Ruu: Dr. DcW. « «. «. B «. M £ « Mr. Brand.

English Majors Club The club members relax after a meeting. During the course of the year, the English Majors Club contributed a great deal toward the understanding of great literature and contemporary thought. The club was organ- ized to supplement the work of the class- room and a varied series of meetings were planned from which all derived a great deal of enlightenment; some of these were a paper. My Most Interesting and Influential Professors”, by Dr. Billups, attendance at The Corn Is Green in Grand Rapids, dis- cussion of articles from Harpers” magazine, examination of The Dogged Retreat of the Doctors” by Milton Mayer in terms of inter- est. thought and rhetoric. The group also criticized its own members' works. The officers for the 1949-50 year were: V i c e-presidc nt. Joan Wi Ison ; Secretary- Treasurer, Joyce Vinkemulder. The president for the first semester was Don DeWitt and Dean Veltman presided during the second. Dr. DeGraaf acted as faculty advisor, and was ably assisted by other faculty members of the English Department. 156 I'i'Sl Rou ; l I ei. Bruins. S rmL T™' B ' . f I °b,nSOn’ N- C. kX,. At the opening meeting of the Spanish Club this year, we welcomed Dr. Donald Brown, the new chairman of the Spanish Department. We were entertained by colored movies taken during Dr. Brown's vacation in Mexico. These films gave us a clearer impression o! life in Mexico as shown by the contrast of present day culture with that ol the ancient Aztecs. The program committee planned further enjoyable meetings, several of which cen- tered around various holidays in the year, the highlight being the Christmas party. This year at the Christmas meeting a special feature was an account of Christmas fes- tivities in Mexico, told in Spanish by Saul Cruz, who is a native of that country. After that we had the traditional pinata, filled with candy, fruit, and prizes. Christmas carols and a Spanish variation of the English radio game Twenty Questions” concluded the meeting. The officers of the organization for the past year. 1949-50, were: President, Al Sweet; Vice-Presidents; Barbara Bruins and Norma Hoffman ; Secretary, Sally Robinson; and Treasurer, Bob Hartley.

Membership has been extended to include both ele- mentary and advanced French students and lor this reason, the meetings are conducted only partially in French. With the emphasis on French culture and back- ground, members learned a lot from their correspon- Christmas party given in the atmosphere of a French cafe called L' Oiseau Qui Chante ”. The club also celebrated the traditional I'ete des Rois at the Epihphany season, each member having his fortune told by receiving a charm in a small cake, alter the French custom. A program centered around French music was enjoyed at a joint meeting with the Musical Arts Club in February. Members of French Club find integration ol French with other subjects and the explanation of the French background so necessary to make the subject mean- ingful and enjoyable. dcnce with students in France.

But the German students in Der Deutsdi Verein make a noble effort, and what the German conver- sation lacks in accuracy, it makes up in enthusiasm. The membership requirements are only a speaking and reading knowledge of German and (hough the German Club is slightly smaller this year, the club is still very lively.

Hope-Ires The Hope-ives is a group comprised of the wives of students who meet once a month for a social eve- ning. The programs of the past year consisted of a Christmas party, hat social, and a family picnic. Each year it is their custom to entertain the aged at Rest- haven with a Christmas program and distribute small gifts to each. They also care for their adopted family in Germany. The Hope-ives take part in the All-Col- lege Sing and are active in inter-mural sports. Women's House Board The Women’s House Board is an active- organization whose aim is effective and pleasant life for the girls in the dormitories. The board is elected by the women of the college and consists of four executive offi- cers and the house president from each dor- mitory. Their advisor is Dean Reeverts. This group is in authority over the House Coun- cils, which deal with ordinary problems in the individual dormitories. The Board functions as a unit to effec- tively make and interpret the rules on the standards of Courtesy, Cooperation and Consideration , Its purpose is not punish- ment, but rather constructive guidance which will develop character.

The club has progressed, until now it is a vital part of the chemistry depart- ment. The membership is composed of chemistry majors who will make chemistry their profession. After the business transactions, the monthly meetings are cli- maxed by research papers presented by the senior members or highlighted by various outstanding speakers. Several field trips are taken throughout the year. This year the club was accepted as an affiliate of the American Chemical Society, the world’s largest chemical organization. This affiliation provides a closer link with the profession with which the club members will be indentified in later years. The officers serving this year were: Paul Cook, president; Edward Dunning, vice-president; Edward Kerle, secretary-treasurer. 162 Vm Row: D. Kr.tncndonk, I). De Witt. G. Gnadc, T. McGee, M.

The International Relations Club meets to discuss world situations, which include the Indonesian ques- tion, the social revolution in China, and the way America has impressed the foreign students at Hope. The club also endeavors to have special speakers who are authorities m their fields. Other special interests this year were the partici- pation of several students in the Model United Nations Assembly and the Midwest IRC Conference held at Southern Illinois University. One highlight of the year was the visit to our campus of His Excellency Dr. Eelco van Kleffens, Netherlands ambassador to the United States. Two IRC projects were the collec- tion of used textbooks to be used in rebuilding the war devasted University of the Philippines, and the International Relations construction of a large electric bulletin board with a map of the entire world, upon which world events may be pinpointed. The club hopes to present this bulletin early in the fall of 1950. With Prof. Mctta Ross as able counselor and the help of Dr. Ella Hawkinson, the following officers have directed the activities: William Laughlin, pres- ident: Maisie Korteling, vice-president; Harold Dean, secretary; and Marylou McRae, treasurer. 164 First Row: D. liazekamp, ).

James Wolterbeek. and through the guidance of Professors Harry Frisscl and Jay Folkcrt, the club has turned in a successful year, learning much of the current achievements in physics and mathematics and becoming more in- formed as to their practical applications. Among items of special interest done during this year were a tour through the local radio station and a demonstrat- ion of a short wave set. Talks given by professors, outside speakers and members, plus films were in- cluded in the programs of the year. Those who served well as officers for the year were: President, James Wolterbeek; Vice-president, John Ryskamp; Treasurer.

The Women's Activities League is one of the busiest groups on campus with its varied and interest- ing programs. The new Freshmen were early introduced to the W. A. L. programs by being escorted to the Orienta- tion Tea and the All-Girl Picnic by their Big Sisters. October was the time of who’s who with the All- Girl Masquerade Party, and in November, the W. A. L. presented its service project on the theme of court- ship and marriage. The Chapel was the scene of the All-College Christmas party this year, complete with pageant, food and fellowship. The ever popular Penny Carnival came round in February with new ways to spend ye olde pennies . Women’s Activities League A new innovation this year was the tea for High School seniors in order to introduce Hope to the prospective students. May Day brought athletic contests for both fellows and girls, the annual banquet, and the crowning of the Queen. . „ c Palen 1- Ten Hocvc, .o.mu«. D AJam 167 Vir it Row: W. Tripp, B. Penning . F.

Cabinet The Christian spirit became a deeper reality to those on campus who heard the inspiring messages presented by Dr. Jacob Erins. the speaker lor Relig- ious Emphasis Week. His messages at the daily chapel services and at the joint Y meetings were inspir- ational as well as informative. Daily afternoon prayer meetings, a question box meeting, and personal con ferences were some of the high-lights of the week. Along with the Tuesday weekly 'V' meetings, the deputation teams, under the direction of Leon Dyk- stra, provided a means of continual encouragement and Christian service. The Y” also obtained permis- sion to sponsor skating in the gymnasium, a successful experiment for everyone. The consistent elforts of the officers and cabinet under the guidance of Dr. M. Eugene Osterhavcn contributed much to a successful year of Christian fellowship. The Spring Rctn.it The Y. M. C. A. began a busy year together with the Y. W. C. A. in sponsoring the annual beach party for new students. The first edition of the Y-Fore extended additional welcome and revealed the high moral purpose of ' Y”. The Hope Hi-Lites” gave further introduction to Hope and to the coming activ- ities oi the year. The annual mission project with its $2,000 goal, was completed in another successful drive to support Hope High School in Madanapalli, India. 168 First Ron : M Vddm.in. B. Van Neuren, E. Van Dam. J.

Cabinet Beginning with the annual Y” Spring Retreat, the Y. W. C. A. made plans lor another active school year. The Y begins its activities by greeting old and new students as they arrive in the tall, and then enters into a busy schedule of Orientation Week. The regular drive for membership is conducted; the Y- 1'ore and the Hope Hi Lites is published and dis- tributed; and the beach party is held for all new stu- dents with fun, food and fellowship. The annual Mission Drive was again devoted to helping Hope High School in Madanapalli, India and raised over two thousand dollars. During Prayer Week, Dr. Jacob Prins, Minister of Evangelism of the R.C.A. came to our campus. The daily chapel services, afternoon prayer services, conferences and discussion periods will remain with students long after they have left Hope College. The gospel deputation teams have been active throughout the entire year, and they have created M What shall it v do next? between the churches and the college a feeling of true Christian fellowship. Weekly meetings of the Y.W.C.A. and the joint meetings with the Y.M. atford limitless inspiration and guidance tor the students. The fourteen members on the Cabinet with the two sponsors, Mrs. Della B. Steiningcr and Mrs. John Smith, meet every Monday at five o'clock to plan and discuss this work of the Y.W.C.A. 169 So this is what happens in a dark room! Camera Club The job of a Camera Club is to produce pictures. As the club had cjuite a few new members, stress, this year, was put on the fundamental principles of taking a picture, developing it, and printing or en- larging it. In the interest of developing this funda- mental knowledge, an evening was devoted for the instruction and learning of how to enlarge a picture. Consequently, this also included the general art of developing a print. A field trip is planned for the purpose of going out and taking a picture of any- thing that appears photogenic. The results of such a trip proves to be promising. The club is small, just twelve members, but the persons in the organization are interested and ambitious. A letter was received from Kappa Alpha Mu. a national honor society in photography, announcing a nation wide college con- test. It is hoped that several entries will be made from this college and that these entries will be win- ners. The club has worked hard and will produce the best of pictures. 170 Health Clinic Health is of major concern on the Hope College campus. Without it, students lose their efficiency and are unable to carry on in their fullest capacities. All kinds of ills are treated here, from the smallest scratch to major post-operative care. The Clinic has grown from a one-room affair in Vcorhees Hall, with a doctor and one registered nurse, to a ten-room structure accommodating nine patients with a staff of a doctor and five registered nurses. A cozy, friendly atmosphere always prevails within the confines of our clinic, which makes it a Home away from home” for our students. Little gems of philosophy are neatly dished out by the tiny Dutch cook, Mrs. De Boer, along with her delicious food. In charge of our health service are Dr. William Moerdyk and Mrs. Moerdyk, R.N., who just recently returned from the Arabian mission field. Among those assisting are Betty Bardwell. Jean Brondykc, Felicia Hrbek, and Jennie Wynalda, who are also students at Hope. Many an ache and many a spill Has ban fixed with a pill Prom this house on tht hill. 171 • , Row: B. Dowd, J.

New techniques were utilized by the staff to make the assignment, collection, correction, and publication of the news efficient. Capable reporters, a fine business and an editorial board well-acquainted with the principles of good journalism worked together to gradually improve the campus bi-weekly publication. Headlines and make-up were controlled to give the proper evaluation to news, to make the paper's ap- pearance pleasing and to make reading easy. Orderly operation by the advertising staff made pos- sible the efficient financing of the newspaper. Reader interest, the touchstone of journalistic suc- cess, was indicated by the rapid disappearance of issues placed for circulation in Van Raalte and Graves; this was proof of the Anchor's worth.

One of' the most vital parts of college life is that of the dining halls and its workers. A great majority of’ the out-of-town students cat at either Temple or Voorhecs Dining Halls. Mr. Rein Visscher is in charge of both eating places. Canute Vandcr Meer is head-waiter and Mrs. Marie Languis is hostess at Temple while Hilda Baker serves as head-waitress at Voorhees. Other workers in the dining halls include waiters, dishwashers, and cooks. Considering the large numbers of students who must be accom- modated each meal, it is necessary that there he great cooperation and a cheerful attitude among all the workers to maintain the efficiency and pleasantness that is found in the dining halls. 179 When Business Is Good It Pays to Advertise When Business Is Bad You Have to Advertise. dvertisements — Banks — M21 and 120th Ave. Phone : 6-7221 -6-6360 FIRST NATIONAL BANK Deposits Insured to $5,000.00 FRED’S CAR LOT Reconditioned and Guaranteed Used Cars PEOPLES STATE BANK A Convenient and Friendly Place to do Your Banking FRED DIRKSE, Prop.
