Thinking on the time we've known, Our hearts, and minds, and souls give thanks, In humble tones for all the love that Thou hast shown A love which faith-wise makes us strong and sure to meet the coming years. — Harold Saunders '53.

Some of these experiences make us smile; others bring a few tears, but all are a part of our growth and learning. A few of our dreams have been fulfilled, but most have been stars beckoning in the distance, guiding us along the pathway to knowledge and to fuller lives. As our experiences and dreams have enriched our lives, so did the experiences and dreams of our forfathers enrich theirs, enabling them to ever struggle and reach beyond into the future and to fulfill hopes and aspirations. One hundred years ago a Pioneer School was formally opened. It was through the active ambitions and experiences of many who reached out, grasping for the stars before them, that a man's dream was fulfilled. Realizations and disappoint- ments, successes and failures have blended together to form our college today — the college of which Dr. A. C. Van Raalte said one hundred years ago, This is my anchor of hope for this people in the future. And so it is the desire of the Milestone staff of 1951, with this anniversary edition, to recall with thankfulness and apprecia- tion, the experiences and dreams of those io whom we are in- debted for making possible four of the most precious years of our lives. And it is also our wish that all who scan these pages may feel that in some way the class of 1952 has contributed to the strength and greatness of our anchor of Hope. The 1951 Hope College Yearbook is dedicated to Laura A. Boyd Page Six Mi« Boyd enjoys a Rood book like a Rood triend. Here on the campus of Hope College, we have many professors who are outstanding m their fields. One such person is Miss Laura Boyd, chairman of the Departure of German and one of the most admired and respected persons on our campus. As a German teacher she has made her courses an inspiring study of some of the world s best literature. As Pan-Hellenic Council advisor she has helped us to form more significant and interestina social groups. As a member of the Student Direction Committee and the Administrative Committee she has worked for the constant improvement of her adopted college. As a citizen of the community she has been a part of the Daughters of the American Revolution. As an educated woman she has been active in the Woman s Literary Club and in the local chapter of the American Association of University Women. As a Christian she has been outstanding in her church and taught a Sunday School class for twenty-five years. But best of all we sec Miss Boyd as a friend, one who is interested, concerned, and sympathetic with all the students on campus. Miss Boyd has stood for many years as one of the preservers of tradition on our campus, and yet, she is not one to blindly follow tradition. She believes in using the best of the past to modify the present in order to make the best future. She remembers yesterday but she lives today for a better tomorrow. Culture, tact, graciousness, patience, kindness would be just a few of her other admira- ble qualities. We of the class of 1952 feel that she represents the finest result of Christian education and we look to her as an inspiring example to follow and to her character as an ideal goal to attain. Thus to the most loved and respected lady on campus, to Miss Laura A Boyd, we the Class of 1952 dedicate our Milestone. Miss Boyd is always ready and willing to render assistance. Page Seven ....

His pic- tures get that extra twinkle in the girl's eyes, and he gives the buildings a feeling of warmth. Mr. Rein Visscher is business manager of Hope college pur- chasing and general mainte- nance work is under his aus- pices. Mr. Visscher is in charge of the dining facilities at Voor- hees and Durfee halls; he pur- chases all the food for the school.

Mr. Visscher has served in the college since 1946 Mr. Henry Steffens is college treasurer. His main duties are to execute the general work of financing the school. The book- keeping is done in this office. The bills incurred by the school, and from the school are taken care of in the treasurer's office. Also all of the investments made by Hope college are handled in Mr Steffens' office. Mr. Steffens has been treasur- er since 1946. Mrs. Marian Stryker is editor of the Alumni magazine. This publication is mailed to Hope alumni all over the country, ev- ery three months. Her job besides editing the magazine, is keeping tab on the whereabouts of Hope graduates, their marriages, births in their families or deaths. Mrs. Stryker has been con- nected with the Hope college Alumni office since 1947. Mr. Albert Timmer is in most cases the first person prospec- tive Hope students come in contact with. Either by letter or in personal interview, future stu- dents confer with the director of admissions, Mr. Timmer. As chairman of the committee of admission, Mr. Timmer studies every application of admission and assists in deciding on ac- ceptance of them. Also the ad- mission s office screens mail re- questing college entrance. The Rev. Paul E. Hinkamp, as college registrar, is in charge of the record of each student. Rev. Hinkamp's office files high school and transfer tran- scripts. records courses taken, credits earned and honor points attained by every student at the college. Seniors upon gradua- tion have a record filed, show- ing the date of graduation, rank in class, degrees earned, aver- age grade and a teacher's cer- tificate, if any. Page Twenty Four The Deans Dr. John Hollenbach Miss Emma Reeverts is the dean of women at Hope College. Her duties here are wide and varied. Besides counseling the girls concerning their individual problems, she also plays an im- portant part in the activities of several organiza- tions. The Alcor Society, Womens Activity League, Panhellenic Board, and the house board demand much of Miss Reevert's time, but she is always willing and ready to be of service in all fields. As out-of-town guests arrive on the cam- pus, Dean Reeverts cordially greets them in her office at Gilmore cottage. Dr. John W. Hollenbach holds the position of the Dean of the College. Among his many responsibilities are the coordination of course offerings and the preparation of the class schedule, revision of the college cata- log, the handling of class absences, and the preparation of the examination schedule. Dr. Hollenbach cares for the counseling of students on academic problems such as pro- bation, change of courses, and withdrawal from college. The Dean serves as chairman of the Educational Policies Committee and takes an active part in the formulation of school policies. M:ss I'mmA Rccvcils Mr. Milton Hinga As overseer of the more than 400 boys on cam- pus, Mr. Milton (Bud) Hinga is one of Hope's busiest men. Even though the work connected with the Dean's position is extensive, Mr. Hinga also pen takes in other varied activities. Checking chapel and class cuts, housing men students, sponsoring the interfraternity council, and direct- ing athletics are the executive duties of the Dean. 'Bud, as he is called by many, acts as a friend to all the students on campus. In Dean Hinga the students find a friend, counselor, and companion. Page Twenty-Five Or. William Mocrdykc Health Clinic Dr. William Moerdvke and Mrs. Mcerdyke, R.N., look after Hope's patients in the ten-room clinic. Every type of ill is treated at the clinic from the smallest scratch to care after a major- operation. During February of the past year, the clinic was es- pecially busy when a minor ep- idemic of measles swept the campus. When the patients returned to their classes they all told of the cozy, friendly atmosphere which prevails in the clinic. Mrs. William Mocrdykc The friendly house on the hill. Back row A. Pruis. B.

Alpha Chi An informal chat with Rev. Kruithofl. Alpha Chi is a society composed of students pre- paring for the ministry and of other students inter- ested in Christian service. The group is organized for the purpose of providing enjoyable Christian fellowship and spiritual growth. Its yearly schedule includes joint meetings v ith Kappa Delta and the Adelphic Society of Western Seminary, and inspiring talks by prominent speak- ers and informal discussions. The crowning event is the banquet at the end of the school year. Alpha Chi was served this year by officers: Levi Akker, President; Garret Wilterdink, Vice President; Edward Viening, Treasurer, and Carl Schroeder, Secretary. Page Seventy-Six Kappa Delta Kappa Delta entertains Alpha Chi. For girls desiring to share their joy in Christ. Kappa Delta provides information and opportunity for doing just that. Special speakers are called in, the girls discuss their own experiences in Christian work; and a stimulating project is undertaken each year. Miss Reeverts, the club's new adviser, opened the year's activities v ith an informal talk concerning her mission work in the Kentucky hills. An impressive candlelight recognition service welcomed the new members. Christmas boxes were sent to Dulce, New Mexico, and Brewton, Alabama. Reports on sum- mer opportunities for Christian service highlighted another meeting. And a joint Valentine meeting found the hearts of Alpha Chi and Kappa Delta members thrilled by the love of God. Officers were; Pauline Hendrieth, President; Louise Loula, Vice President; Ruth Welt, Secretary; Mar- jorie Pickens, Treasurer; and Lucille Fikse, Sergeant- at-Arms. Row 1 (L. to R.) M. Pickens. R.

Spanish Club The friendly atmosphere of Dr. Brown's home was the scene for most of the monthly meetings of the Spanish Club this year. A full year of activities was planned by the officers early in the fall, including celebration of the various holidays of the year. In October, recognition of El Dia De Los Muertos” was made and the meeting centered around that theme. The December Christmas meeting was held in the Commons Room where the traditional pinata hung. Christmas carols and games v ere sung and played in Spanish to give practice with the language. Fine arts and literary meetings supplemented these special occasions. The club also partici- pated in International Night sponsored by Al- cor to show highlights of various foreign cul- tures. The officers for the 1950-51 year v ere: Presi- dent, Edna Pierce; Vice President, Kathy Kem- pers; Secretary, Cathy Rabey; and Treasurer, Carol Buseman. Dr. and Mrs. Brown acted as sponsors and advisors. Iis iritcrsantc cl professor? Page Seventy-Eight French Club Life of «he party. Combining variety and interest in activities which have been both informative and sociable, the French Club programs of the past year have been an enjoyable experience for all its members. First on the calendar was the traditional fall pic- nic at Kollen Park. A special occasion was the lecture presented by Mr. Louis Crowder, a concert pianist, during his stay on the campus in November. After having discussed present day French culture he played several of Debussy's pieces. Joint meetings were also held with the Art and Musical Arts clubs. A visit was paid to France, via slides and reports, to learn about a typical province. The International Night Banquet was an oppor- tunity to present a scene from French history, car- rying out the international theme along with the other language clubs. Jack Boeskool held the post of President, with Connie Shilling serving as Vice President, Dan De Graaf as Treasurer, and Norma Hoffman, Secretary. Row l (L. Jo R.)—Mrs. Prins. G. Pictaro. C.

German Club The year 1950-51 has been truly an outstand- ing year in the history of Hope College's Ger- man Club. We started off with the executive committee, who was elected last Spring; but due to the war in Korea, we had to relinquish our president, Florian Meulbroek to the Air Force, and elected Allan Frelander in his place. This year also marked the inauguration of the national honorary German society. Delta Phi Alpha on Hope's campus. The activities of the club have varied from interesting speakers to Germanic parties of the most informative type. We hope to see more visitors at our meet- ings, which we know you will enjoy—so we extend our hand of cordiality to those of the student body, who are not yet familiar with us. Aufwidersehn. Warum lacbcn Sic ! Page Eighty Sociology Club This has been a grand year for us. We gained in both numbers and prestige and held some very iine meetings. On our field trip to Detroit we visited the slums, Gillespie Street, and the neighborhood settlement houses. This year's field trip rates on a par with our previous trip to Chicago. Both were very interesting and informative. One of our other meetings was a forum on race relations. The subject was ably discussed by a group of our students representing vari- ous racial and religious minorities in American culture. Another meeting dealt with mental hospitals. We learned of types of patients, number per hospital, and other details. We enjoyed all our meetings immensely and hope to have many more such meetings next year along with several outstanding speakers we are planning on obtaining. We hope to have many new members with us, too. Are these marginal nun? Row 1 (L. to R.) R. Stoppcls. !. Little. W. Ficldhousc. L. Lidston, J. Brown. ). Vandcn Bicsen. Row 2—P. l.cach. A. Tigclaar. R.

The Hope College Chemistry Club, now a Student Affiliate Chapter of the Ameri- can Chemical Society, is composed of stu- dents who are planning to make chemis- try their life's work. The purpose of this organization is to create an active interest in chemistry outside of the purely aca- demic work. This is accomplished by the presentation of papers by the senior mem- bers, by showing movies, by making a field trip to an industry, to witness chem- istry in practice and by enjoying the fel- lowship of other chemistry majors. Under the direction of the chemistry faculty, this organization provides an extra curricular approach to chemistry, preparing its mem- bers for their graduate studies and work in chemistry.

Philosophy Club As the consistently large attendance at this year's meetings indicated, the Philosophy Club is not an exclusive conclave of campus intelligensia. The universality of philosophy's appeal was made all the more evident by the near violence which resulted over several controversial issues. Besides providing the opportunity to hear and consider superior papers by Dr. Clarence De Graaf, Dr. Richard Ou- dersluys, and Seminarian-co-sponsor Allen Dykstra, the Club initiated a new policy of directed discussion gather- ings. The success of the first, occurring at the home of faculty cosponsor Dr. D. Ivan Dykstra, provided justification for other meetings like it. Officers for the year were Roger Sha- fer, President, and Harold Dean, Secre- tary-Treasurer. Maybe Plato could, but wc Kant. Page Eighty-Three Row 1 (L. to R.)—M. Radcliitc, E. Robinson. C.

Beta Beta Beta Although the Hope College chapter of Beta Beta Beta is one of the more recently organized groups on the cam- pus, Alpha Eta has done much in a busy, productive year to make itself familiar to students and faculty. Alpha Eta desires to encourage sound scholarship, to promote the advancement of scientific truth, and to stimu- late investigation in the life sciences. The membership is composed of students selected from biology majors and pre-medical students on the basis of scholastic achieve- ment. Monthly meetings consist of student papers and medi- cal movies treating such topics as prefrontal lobotomy, complicated amputations, and skin grafting. Some of the outstanding speakers have been Dr. Boersma, who spoke on the subject of Endocrinology, and Dr. Dykhuizen, who spoke on The General Proctioner. The highlight of the year is a field trip to an institution of biological in- terest. This year the activities were under the direction of Russell Van Dyke, president; Charles Votaw, vice presi- dent; Eleanor Robinson, secretary; Margaret Radcliffe, treasurer.

Phi Alpha Theta This year Hope College is proud to welcome an- other National Honorary Fraternity to its campus, Phi Alpha Theta, founded with the intent to create and stimulate an interest in history, to extend recog- nition for scholastic attainment in this field of study, and to promote association and fellowship. Due largely to the efforts of Dr. Ella Hawkinson, herself a member of the Fraternity, the Gamma Omicron Chapter of Hope College was installed on May 3, 1950, with impressive ceremonies conducted by Dr. Harold Fields and a group from Michigan State College. At this time, thirteen students, Paul Alderink, Dave Coleman, Robert Daane, Dolores Freyling, John Galien, Roger Gunn, James Hakken, Robert Hill, William Jellema, Henry Kieft, Harold Streeter, Lorraine Van Farowe, and William Van’t Hof, were welcomed into the fraternity, as well as Miss Metta Ross, Mr. Milton Hinga, Mr. Alvin Van- derbush, and Mr. John Visser of the faculty. At a fall meeting this year, the four remaining se niors conferred the honor of membership upon James Blaine, Harvey Calsbeek, Donald Fairchild, James Harvey II, Ellen Lidston, and Howard Newton.

Relations The purpose of the International Relations Club is to promote better understanding of the world and its problems on the campus and in the community. Our program is varied. Panel discussions by students and faculty, talks by foreign students and recently returned mis- sionaries, and films are used at our meetings. In an effort to inform the whole community, special speakers like the expert on Korea, Col. Kellems, have been brought to Holland by our group. On a state scale, our group has been one of the most active, having joint meetings with the club from Grand Rapids Junior College, participating in the regional and stat UNESCO conferences, and in the regional conference of the American Association of International Re- lations Clubs. We have appreciated very much the interest and help we have received from Miss Metta Ross, our faculty sponsor, and Dr. Ella Hawk- inson. The officers for the year have been Harold Dean, president; Gail Van Zyl, vice- president; Mary Bond Olert, secretary; and Ray Bishop, treasurer. Page Eighty-Six Row I (L. to R.)—C. Wines, C. Kelley.

Miss Reeverts and Mr. Prins supervise the novel group and their discussions on selected novels. Those interested in poetry look for hidden meanings and general theory under Mr. Ten Hoor. Dr. Billups and Dr. Snow guide the as- piring writers who hold before them- selves the goal of a really good ' Sampler.” Various members in the drama group conduct talks on plays of interest; Dr. Hollenbach is the leader in this division. Dr. De Graaf is the facul- ty adviser for the Atlantic Monthly” section who work with the magazine stories and articles, for the vocabulary. Page Eighty-Seven Row 1 (L. to R.)—Mr. Kids. R. Felt. R.

Math-Physics Club The Math-Physics Club is an organization which strives to stimulate interest and to provide addi- tional information in the field of physics and mathematics to its members. This year a series of pro- grams of varied content were planned and successfully executed by the officers and members of the club. The meetings are usually highlighted either by papers given by the members or by talks given by the faculty sponsors. These papers deal with significant topics in the field of mathematics and physics. Also included in the program for the year, were informative lectures given by professional men in this specific field and the showing of several movies. Row l (L. to R.)—N. Corp. II. Robinson. N.

Biographies of 18 seniors from this school will ap- pear in the 1950-1951 edition of this volume. Students are chosen for this honor on the basis of their schol- arship, leadership, participation in educational and extracurricular activities, citizenship and their prom- ise of future usefulness to business and society. The selected students are honored by the organization by a certificate of award and the benefit of the placement service set up by the organization. The file of this placement service is at the disposal of all business concerns in the United States and Canada. Student selection committee is comprised of the President, Dr. Lubbers; Deans Hollenbach, Reeverts, and Hinga; the registrar, Rev. Paul E. Hinkamp; and one other group appointed faculty member.

Women’s House Board Courtesy, Cooperation, and Consideration are the passv ords in all of the girls' dormitories. House Board, with the help of each House Coun- cil, works with the girls in each dormitory making and interpreting rules which will provide each stu- dent with the happiest and most memorable dormi- tory experience. Each spring the officers for the following year are elected by all the women of the college. This year leannine De Boer served as president; Virginia Hesse as vice president; Arlene Ritsema as secre- tary; Anna Herder as treasurer. In addition to these officers the board consists of the house president from each dormitory, class representatives, and Dean Reeverts, who acts as advisor. Dormitory living is a vital part of each girls' col- lege life, and through its friendly guidance. House Board strives to make it effective. Row 1 L. to R.) Mr$. Aldrich, Mm.

Men’s House Board Fraternity houses were an innovation on Hope's campus this year. Last year, each fraternity elected its own house board as the governing body of the fraternity house. Each house board is comprised of a house manager and several house board mem- bers. The rules for fraternity houses were drawn up by each house board. These rules pertain to general conduct and the orderliness of the house. Punish- ment for infractions of rules are the responsibility of the house board. The last Wednesday of each month a combina- tion meeting of all house managers, house mothers, and Dean Hinga is held; the meetings being held alternately at the various fraternity houses. At this time any problems pertaining to the efficient man- agement of the fraternity houses are discussed. The reinstatement of fraternity houses at Hope College has been both pleasant and beneficial. Page Eighty-Nine Pi Kappa Delta The Michigan Gamma chapter of Pi Kappa Delta is located on the campus of Hope College. Pi Kappa Delta is a national honorary fraternity which en- deavors to encourage forensic activity in debate, oratory, extemporaneous speaking, and group dis- cussion. Membership in this organization is limited to those who have represented Hope College in forensics in inter-collegiate contests. This year Richard Kruizenga is the president of this active organization. The vice president of Pi Kappa Delta is Guy Vander Jagt. Mary Houtman is the secretary-treasurer of the group.

This year a new custom was begun, men and women debated against one an- other and there were mixed partners. The novice, league and tournament debates of the M. I. S. L. were held at Michigan State College this year. Many teams were debating locally in churches and clubs, debating against members of our own squad and other college teams. Page Ninety Mr. Ponstein and Mr. Buteyn ended their second years as coaches and morale boosters. Two teams had the honor of representing Hope at Pi Kappa Delta National meeting in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The fellowship and intellectual growth afforded by membership in this organization are well worth the time and the effort. Hope has been fortunate this year in bringing back excellent team records and individual honors. Row 1 (L. to R.)—J. Gore, J. Post. B Thomson. M. Fenton. M. Schoon veld, K. Kortcline. C. Curtis.

Elementary Teachers’ Club For juniors and seniors interested in elementary teaching, the Elementary Teachers' Club provides a common ground for discussing problems and new techniques in this field. The large membership of the club this year gives proof that elementary teaching is becoming an increasingly popular profession. Several interesting meetings were held on the first Monday of each month. In the special fields of art and music, talks were given by Miss Eleanor De Pree and Miss Van Vyven. Probably a highlight of the year was a Christmas party at the home of Mr. Ver Beek where student teachers discussed their unit plans. A picnic served as the grand finale at which time new officers were elected. Mrs. Henry Schoon and Mr. John Ver Beek are the advisors of the club. Officers are Marjorie Fenton, president; Joyce Post, vice president; and Beth Thompson, secretary-treasurer. L. to R. -Ethel Fasch. Dr. Henry Schoon. Owen Christensen. Doris Adams. Dr. Finest Ellcrt.

Hope-lves Oft has it been said that ‘‘behind every great man is a woman.” Pictured here are the women behind some of the great scientists, teachers, and ministers of the future. Hope-ives are the combination home- makers and office-workers who make up the better- half” of many of Hope's married students. The ac- tivities of the organization include benevolences, sports, and social activities. Incidentally, they can cook, too! So far this year they have held a Christmas party for the old folks at Resthaven and a Pot Luck” sup- per to which their lesser halves” were invited. The season's schedule is rounded out with intra-mural volleyball and basketball, providing for a family in Germany, and participation in the All College Sing. Business-Econ Club The B. E. Club, organized in October, 1950, answers the special interests of business and economic majors. Its activities include dinner meetings, special tours through business concerns, and meetings with outside speakers. Gail Van Zyl organized the club; John Van Eenenaam and Con Boeve served as presidents. Row ] (L. to R.)—J. Sloan. G. Van Zyl, C. Boeve. J. Du Mcz, M. Van Ark. J. Van F.cncnaam. Row 2—D.

Page Ninety-Two Student Council The student govern- ing group, the Student Council, was ably led by President William Van't Hof and Vice- President Jean Ver Beek. The council, con- sisting of representa- tives from each sorority and fraternity, the Y's, W. A. L, each class, President Van’t Hof. and three faculty mem- ers, has capably saved its function as the main governing and direct- ing body on the Hope College campus. It sponsored the annual affairs such as the Freshman and All-College Mixers, Homecom- ing, the Nykerk Cup Contest, Dutch Treat Week, and the All-College Sing. Added to these responsibilities, the council made a re- ality of the committee system, which covers all problems in relation to the campus and student body, originated as a result of last year's council. Through the medium of the council, the students' views were formally presented and if possible were made into campus action. 1% there i motion tor jdiournmcnt? Page Ninety-Three The Milestone The Milestone is published annually by the Junior class and last spring Randall Vande Water was elected by the class to edit the 1951 edition. The various edi- tors were chosen last year and then the planning began. The spring activities were photographed and the job of forming a dummy got under way. This fall the staff really started work. Anna Herder scheduled the underclassmen's pictures and organized the senior section. Under the direction of Marge Mul- der the societies and clubs had their pictures taken and Marilyn Veldman handled the activities section. Doris Adams took care of the faculty pictures while Ron Bos organized the sports. Every year the Mile- stone is made possible partly by various firms and establishments. To sell the book to these merchants was the job of Dick Kruizenga and Gail Van Zyl, who were the business managers and headed the adver- tising staff. Gordon De Pree acted as desk editor and assisted Editor Vande Water. Much of the photogra- phy was done by Mike Romano. All of these various editors had other students helping them so the dead- lines could be met and everything finished on time. Things got busier right along and many last minute jobs had to be done—final choice of covers was made, early spring activities had to be covered, cut-lines had to be thought of, and then the printer was given all the material so the presses could roll. And so the Junior class presents the 1951 MILESTONE. Row 1 (L. to R.)—G. Dc Prcc, M. Veldman. M. Mulder.,'A. Herder, R. Vande Water. Row 2—A. Tigclaar, H. lingvold. F.. Van Tuincn, C. Wines. J.

You are in a small paper-littered room. Your nostrils are filled with the pervading smell of printer s ink, and the staccato of typewriters cuts through the throb- bing undertone that environs journalistic production. You glance at the masthead spattered with names of journalistic prominence. Many of these corre- spondents have seen service in the forbidden reg- ions of Deanzoffisez and many will venture this year into the unexplored regions of Fynlyagrad. Your meditations are interrupted by the clang of the telephone and one of the multitude snatches equip- ment and hurries off. A young man behind a large desk beckons two others and a hushed conference is held. Four more people arrive with reams of paper marked News,'' Feature, Sports, Society. Nine hours have passed since you first stepped into the sanctum. You now hear only the soft shuf- fling of Hammermill Bond, and intermittent graphite scratchings. Only a few weary persons remain. The solitude is broken finally with sighs and the stack- ing of copy. You join in the repartee as desks are cleaned and closed. You see the huge stack of pa- pers pushed into an envelope and turn toward the door. You step out into the spring air of the campus; breathe deeply. 30 has been written on Volume LXIII of the ANCHOR. . You were there! Business manager, Robert Van Dyke Advertising manager.

Plans for a busy year of Christian fellowship and activity were made at the annual Y” Spring Retreat to be carried out by the officers and cabinet for 1950-51. Big sisters” welcomed freshman girls on their arrival in September. The Y engages in the busy schedule of Orientation Week. The Y-Fore was published to further introduce Hope; Hope Hi-Lites were distributed to give a picture of coming activi- ties; the regular drive for membership was held as was the annual beach party for all new students. The annual mission drive was again held to sup- port Hope high school in Madanapalle, South India. In spite of the drop in enrollment, the goal of $2,000 was successfully reached. Religious Emphasis Week brought Dr. John Calvin Reid to our campus as the guest speaker. His mes- sages at the daily Chapel services were inspiration- al and will be long-remembered. Weekly meetings provided inspiration and devo- tion for those on campus, while the spirit was also carried abroad by the many deputation teams sent out to surrounding churches. The efforts of the of- ficers and the cabinet under the guidance of Mrs. John J. Ver Beek and Mrs. Irwin J. Lubbers contrib- uted to make it a successful year of Christian fel- lowship.

Come and get it Y beach party. 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 at Ottawa Beach. The first addition of the Y-Fore extended additional welcome and revealed the high moral and social purposes of the Y. The Hope Hi-Lights gave further introduction to Hope and to the coming activities of the year. The annual Mission Drive with its $2,000 goal, was completed in another successful drive to support Hope high school in Madanapalle, South India. This is the final drive for our Sister institution in India. The Christian spirit became a deeper reality to those on campus who heard the inspiring messages presented by Dr. John Calvin Reid, the speaker for Religious Emphasis Week. His messages at the daily chapel services and at the joint Y meet- ings were inspirational as well as informative. Along with the Tuesday weekly Y meetings, the deputation teams, under the direction of Don Lubbers, provided a means of continual en- couragement and Christian service. The consis- tent efforts of the officers and the cabinet under the guidance of Dr. M. Eugene Osterhaven and Prof. Lars Granberg contributed much to a suc- cessful year of Christian fellowship.

Palette and Masque It was the 17th of March, the small dining room in Durfee was crowded with the noise of happy voices; a group of Palette and Masque members was seated at the head table. One by one, Kenneth Brinza, Wynetta Devore, David Karsten, Charles Kelly, Phyllis Leach, Thomas Malewitz, Amy Silcox, Kenneth Smouse, Mary Voskuil, and Barbara Woods, were initiated as charter members of the new hope College Chapter of Pi Epsilon Delta, National Collegiate Players, National Honorary Dramatic Fraternity. Page One Hundred The Night of January 16th. 'Oncc't more you tell me. At the same time Dr. Wm. Schrier, chairman of the Dept, of Speech, and Helen L. Harton, director of dramatics, were in- itiated as associate members. The long awaited day had at last arrived. P and M and the Speech department were offi- cially connected with a Na- tional group. Howard C. Mor- gan of Capital University, Co- lumbus, Ohio, made the pre- sentations. Along with all these glam- ourous happenings, they car- ried through their usual play schedule for the year. P and M started the year off by pre- senting a thrilling murder trial, The Night of January 16th, starring Dale De Witt, Barbara Woods, and Fred Karsten; Jan- uary found them presenting Papa Is All for the students of Hope and the citizens of Kalamazoo.

To qualify for membership she must succeed in meeting the re- quirements of high scholarship, leadership, and out- standing character. This year's group has completed another year of happy and worthwhile activity. Each group's activi- ty is begun with the impressive May Day tapping of qualified Junior girls. The highlight of Alcor's activities wes Internation- al Night. It v as both gala and educational with its banquet and festive program. Its featured trip to the Holidays of the Nations accomplished its purpose of honoring or foreign students and promoting brotherhood among nations. The impressive decor- ations and exhibits lended color to the evening. Many students and faculty members attended the Alcor-planned coffees. Other Alcor service projects included selling food and stationery. At Tulip Time a project was undertaken and the profits from all the projects were used for a gift to the school. In May, Alcor awards a scholarship to the most deserv- ing Sophomore girl. VC-'hat’s the Attraction Page One Hundred Two Row i (L. lo R.)—Mr. Lampcn, I?r. Klcinhckscl, O. Fairchild, H. Dean. B.

Blue Key The Hope Chapter of Blue Key, National Collegi- ate Honor Fraternity for senior men, who are chosen for individual academic attainment, character, and participation in student activities, began the year with ten members. Three additional men were cho- sen in the fall. Work on Blue Key projects began even before the school year opened. Don Fairchild headed the staff which produced an attractive and accurate Student Guide. Dave Karsten directed the printing and sale of football programs. The Visscher twins distributed free basketball programs. The Blue Key's major project for the past several years has been the Book Store run for the conveni- ence of students at Hope. Last year's profits, given to the college, were used to construct the flag-stone terrace around Durfee Hall. At monthly dinner meetings, the men enjoyed fel- lowship and discussed their business activity. In the spring, a banquet was held, at which members for the coming year were formally received. Officers for the year were Harold Dean. President. Don Fair- child, Corresponding Secretary; Bill Hinga, Record- ing Secretary, and Dr. Kleinheksel, Faculty Advisor.

This year the group has been ably led by Jeanne Ver- beek. Assisting her have been Nancy Smith, vice president, Jeanine De Boer, secretary, and Lynn Van Weelden, treasurer. Mrs. Tellman and Miss Reeverts served as advisors. W. A. A. The W.A.A. board has had another successful year in carrying out women's intramurals. The board includes 3 rep- resentatives from each class and is di- rected by Miss Van Dommelen and Miss Breid. Highlighting activities of this year were the Hope-High School Play Day, Hope-Calvin Play Day and the Second Annual Awards Banquet. Sports enjoyed this year were volley- ball, basketball, baseball, archery, golf, riding, hiking, bov ling, badmin- ton, ping pong and tennis. A new point system was put into effect this year. Any person who earned the necessary 100 points re- ceives an award. The first year award is a numeral, the second year award is a letter H, the third year award is a charm and the fourth year award is a trophy. Jjft? .1� ? Pago One Hundred Five Men’s Glee Club The club welcomed back its former director Prof. Robert Cavanaugh who had been working on his doctorate at the University of Michigan, and pro- ceeded into rehearsals to attain the high quality of performance that has come to be associated with the Glee Club. The men opened their season with a concert for the Kent County G.O.P. Lincoln's Day banquet held in Grand Rapids February 10, and a rather im- promptu concert for the Delphi Sorority Party that same night. The year's work was climaxed by a tour of the eastern states in the Spring, where the men sang in many of the churches of New York and New Jersey. Several appearances were held in churches of Western Michigan along with various concerts at the college. The program was a mixture of sacred and secular numbers and showed the high polish and precision which only hours of rehearsal can attain. The officers for the year were: Jack Boeskool, pres- ident; Ken Smouse, vice president; John Van Eene naam, secretary-treasurer, and Bob Stopples, busi- ness manager. The club can boast of only two four-year mem- bers, Jack Boeskool and Ken Smouse. However , there are several two and three year men who not only contribute to the all-important experience such a group needs, but also promise to furnish the club with valuable material for the years to come. Page One Hundred Six Director Cavanaugh. Women’s Glee Club Under the able direction of Mrs. W. Curtis Snow, the Hope College Women's Glee Club made an extended tour of the mid-Western states, including Wisconsin, Iov a, and Illinois. The group sang in twelve of our churches in this area. Featured on the program were both secular and sacred numbers and several piano and or- gan solos. Accompanists for the group were Alicia Van Zoeren. and Jeanne Ver Beek. Concerts were presented in several cities of Western Michigan both before and after the tour. The Glee Club also took part in many college ac- tivities during the school year. Officers of the year were: President, Alicia Van Zoeren; Secretary, Lynn Van Weelden, Treasur- er, Edna Pierce. The members of the Glee Club presented a striking appearance in their traditional blue robes and orange stoles as they sang during sacred concerts. White formal gowns were used during the secular part of their program. The spirit of companionship, and the love of line music has given the group an enjoyable and a successful year.

Three concerts were given on campus. The orchestra accompanied the chorus and the guest soloists for the annual presentation of Handel's Messiah’' on December 12. It also took part in the Fine Arts Festival which was held during Tulip Time. At the first concert held on November 30, the program included such varied works as the following: Finlandia—Sibelius, Symphony in D—Clementi, Bainbridge Island Sketches- McKay, Wedding Day at Troldhaugen—Grieg, and Artists' Life—Johann Strauss The Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 was one of the highlights of the second concert, held on March 15. The solo group which performed this work included Anthony Kooiker, pianist, Carlton Kelch, violin, and William Druckenmiller, flute. Among the other works which were played were the Rosamond Overture—Shubert, Second Movement of the First Symphony—Beethoven, Rumanian Dances — Bartok, and Excerpts from Billy the Kid. At the last concert held in April the orchestra concluded another eventful year by playing the Haydn Queen Symphony. Page One Hundred Eight (Lett to tight) Rcinstcin. Sloan. Van Dyke, Kamphuis. Band The Hope College Band, un- der the direction of William Druckenmiller, again played a very prominent part in the acti- vities about the campus. Step- ping off at the beginning of the year, the band entertained Riverview Park's vast audi- ences between halves at the home football games. The band, with its very colorful uniforms, went through some very clever and tricky forma- tions during the football games. The famed Homecoming Pa- rade was one of the many events of the year. Hope Col- lege was well represented at this annual affair. Holland saw a very loyal turnout to witness the parade with its beautiful floats and marching band Featured also during the year was the very capable basketball pep band. The en thusiasm of the audience, to- gether with the spirit of the pep band, made the games even more exciting and thrilling. Student conductors participa- ted several times during these basketball games. The band was featured sev- eral times throughout the year in presenting concerts. Several ensembles consisting of mem- bers of the band and orchestra also displayed very unique musical ability. Among the many programs these groups played for were alumni group meetings, student assemblies, and church programs. Hope College is proud of the fine work produced by Director Druckenmiller. It has been through his expert guidance, determination, and very earn- est interest in his work that the band was able to maintain the reputation that it has held through years past.

The group specializes in singing English Madrigals a capella. Music by later composers is sung also. The year's program promoted real enthusiasm among the members. Thanksgiving and Christmas programs were presented in chapel and a perform- ance was given for the Women's Society of the Methodist church. Madrigal also cooperated with the dramatics department in an Elizabethan pro- gram. The year's climax was a formal recital given in the chapel. A high point in Madrigal's history was the formal organizing of the group this year. Its first officers were: president, Wayne Olson; secretary-treasurer, Phyllis Luidens. Row i (L. to R.) — I.

At each of its monthly meetings some particular phase of music is discussed. Included in these meetings were discussions of French music, Jewish music, and folk dances of foreign lands. This past year Musi- cal Arts took a forward step in joining itself with the Michigan Federation of Music Clubs. It also spon- sored several programs, among them: The University of Luiden Student String Quartet, the movie “La Traviata. and the first annual All-College Christmas Carol Sing. Another important duty of Musical Arts is to provide ushers for all programs being given in the chapel. Officers for the year were: President, Jack Boeskool; Vice President, Nancylee Corp; and Secretary-Treasurer, Alicia Van Zoeren. Page One Hundred Ten Row 1 (L. to R.)—!:. Human, B. Davison. C.

This year the choir presented a large number of special chorals in chapel and also took part in commencements, college convocations, and special vesper services. On Reformation Day the choir sang two selections in a program sponsored by the Reformed churches of Holland. The choir formed the nucleus of the chorus which presented Haydn's Creation in May. Also the third week in May a select group from the choir participated in a choral festival held in Kalamazoo. At this festival choruses from the church-related colleges of Michigan each sang a group of numbers and then combined at the close of the program in several selections.

As the sorority year draws to a close, we look back over it with a feeling of regret that it has ended all too soon. September found all the Delphians at the Delphi fall house party eagerly renewing friendships, re- freshing memories of past years, and making plans for the new year. As we read our Round Robin let- ters, we saw it as a symbol of the joining of girls from various parts of the country and of different circumstances into one common sisterhood. The Round Robin Tea in October was the reason for the unusual excitement and bustling about cam pus. The traditional Delphi Fashion Show added touches of femininity, beauty, and charm to this oc- casion. Welcoming our new pledges in true Delphi style, we made our way to the Ranch House in Grand Rapids with corsages, honking horns, cars decked with blue and yellow streamers, and the flush of ex- citement on all our cheeks. The pledges aren't the only ones who shall long remember Pledge Night. Homecoming found us happily engaged in greet- Page One Hundred Fourteen ing our old and new alumni at the Delphi luncheon before the big game. Together we cheered for the football team, for our Homecoming Queen, Delphian Lynn Van Weelden, and tor the Delphi's float receiv- ing honorable mention. Before the excitement subsided, we found our- selves covering the town for clues to the treasure on the Date Night—Treasure Hunt. As a farewell gesture, our annual Delphi Christ- mas breakfast was held at the Dutch Mill just before Christmas vacation. Returning from vacation we saw clouds of exams hanging low over the campus (and our heads). In time they lifted, and we viewed a sunny horizon filled with promises of good times in Delphi's future. The first bright spot was our Formal Party Holiday For Hearts, held on February 10, at the Morton House in Grand Rapids. Some of the events which followed were the Penny Carnival, St. Patrick's Day Potluck, the All-College Sing, the Delphi Spring In- formal Party, and the final Spring House Party after exams.

The first paragraph of chapter 30 tells us of the traditional house party. After much eating, and more talking, Dorians became acquainted with the executive committee for the fall semester. Kamela Korteling, Willie Devore, Julia Bernius, and Ellen Lidston were eager to discuss plans for the coming year. Skimming over to the next page, we find that the first event on the agenda was the traditional Home- coming breakfast. Dorians attended the homecom- ing game in the afternoon along with an array of mums. Dorians and their dates gathered for a hay ride on a chilly night in November after which all met at Miller's barn for a snack. The details of the formal initiation ceremony are. told in the next paragraph. A yellow rose, the sym- bol of Dorian friendship, was given to each of the 12 novice members who pledged loyalty to Dorian. Reading on further, we see that the members of Dorian gathered at the Korteling home on Saturday, December 9, for the annual Christmas party. Aside from eating, talking, and gift-wrapping, officers were elected for the winter term. Beth Thompson, Dot Fennema, and Sally Palen led us through the rest of the year. Highlighting the events of the year was the formal party, The Highland Fling, at the Pant- lind hotel in Grand Rapids. The Mad Hatters was the cause of many laughs at the Penny Carnival in February. Dorians really tried to win the cup for the second consecutive year. Coming near the end of this, the thirtieth chapter in the history of the Dorian society, we are reminded of our participation in the All-college sing. Many a Dorian was breathless after those weary hours of rehearsals. And so, the book comes to a close as all Dorians look back upon this thirtieth year of friendship.

Sibylline v ill shine' the jubilant words filled the Sib Room in mid Sep- tember as Sib Sisters” renev ed their promise to make Sibylline not only shine for a night, but throughout the coming year. Ideas for coming events came thick and fast as Sibs chatted merrily throughout the night and into the early morning at the annual Sib house party. Broadcasting over the S-I-B network, sorority sisters presented for hopeful sophomores the Sibylline TV Show. The occasion was the Round Robin Tea. Guests were presented novelty personalized letter openers. Your fun is only beginning,” said Sib members to their numerous new pledges as they, having de- clared a hiker's holiday, took the girls along the 4-mile trail. They topped off the trek with a delicious brunch at the Dutch Mill restaurant. Lassies lingered long renewing old acquaintances at the alumnae luncheon held at homecoming time’. Later they could be seen, sporting giant white mums with blue ribbons, sitting in the Sib section of the grandstand. Some were chatting about the sorori- ty's clever Clark Bar float. Others v ere cheering their Alma Mater football team to victory. Literary meetings, alumnae parties, date nights, joint meetings with other sororities and fraternities —kept the many members in a whirl of activity and wonderful spirits. Incessant enjoyment was in store for all Sib Cin- derella's and their Prince Charming escorts who donned their evening clothes and attended the Silver Slipper Ball. The Pantlind Palace and musical mood gave enchantment to the evening. Next came the All-College Sing. How we practiced, early and late! Every minute was enjoyed. After that the informal spring party was the talk of lassies who planned it and lads who helped them enjoy it. Ends must come to the best of all activities and June finds Sib Seniors sadly saying farewells to school and sorority, but they have that we'll be back again” look in their eyes.

It's the placid seniors laughing with jaunty juniors at the early lall house party. It's startled sophomores wait- ing to be pleased at the round robin tea. Sopho- mores felt more at ease when Sorosis opened ranks to them at Jeanne Ver Beek's home. By informal initiation time, one might have said they were al- most cocky! But at informal initiation when the ac- cordion laughed, when the amoeba couldn't func- tion, and when the mermaid wouldn't, or could n't, sing the sorority song, the sophomores learned their places. And it took little more than ten cents to buy the services of Pluto, or the Empire State Building, or a football for one week. Then, silent white set all at equilibrium in formal initiation. It's the school, too. Seniors, juniors, and sopho- mores aren't all that compose a satisfying society. The school means other people; it means alumni. The school generalizes with a homecoming; and So- rosis specializes on its alumnae, fetes this branch of Homecoming by a breakfast. The lady across the table, who was in Sorosis not long ago, compliments you on the Mashwell House Coffee float; and she is eager to hear more. You express hopes.

Each Theta was willing and eager to make this the best year yet. It was a milestone; we were ten years old. However, before long we were hard at work on the Round Robin Tea. Theta Theater delighted all those who attended the performance. The Homecoming Brunch was a success, and our float, Say It With Flowers, looked lovely. Eventually formal initiation came, and we v elcomed ten new members into our fellowship. Each pledge received a red Thesaurian rose as she knelt and re- peated the creed. These were happy days as old and new members became acquainted. At Christmas we had our annual meeting with the alumnae in our newly decorated sorority room. Good fun and fellowship was enjoyed by all. The sorority song sounded better than ever as the mel- low voices of the alumnae blended with the lighter tones of present members. At last came the Penny Carnival. The theme was Alice in Wonderland and the Thetas served food to the characters v ho attended. Most of us will remember with delight the informal party. A beautiful snowy night was perfect for a Fage One Hundred Twenty-Two hayride. Everyone made himself comfortable on a piece of straw and amid laughter and song rode through the snow-filled night. We ended our even- ing with square dancing and a satisfying meal. Much of the time now music could be heard ringing from the walls of the sorority room. We worked hard in anticipation of the All College Sing. We had a reputation to uphold. And now the formal party. The Thetas and their es- corts made a striking picture as an April moon lent its touch of romance to the scene. Particularly delightful is the memory of our house- party. We were reluctant to go to bed, and so, as the waves lapped gently against the shores of Lake Michigan, Thesaurians could be seen dotting the sand. Seniors thought longingly of the days they were leaving behind. The rest looked forward with eagerness to newer and even brighter horizons. It has been a year filled with joys, friendships, suc- cesses. The senior members have now joined the ranks of the alumnae. It is not goodbye to them but just, until we meet again. The ties of Thesaurian bind all the members together very closely. Theta Gamma Pi plans another year of service to their college, their country, and their God.

One of the sideshows of this year's performance was the Homecoming celebration. At the wee hours of the morning, through fog, drizzle, and mist, four faithful souls strung crepe-paper, pounded nails, and stuck scotch tape on the A.S.A. float. Although v e didn't win the prize, we were proud of our contribution. Preceding the parade, all members, wearing white mums tied with green bows, gathered at the Dutch Mill for breakfast. First rate entertainment was offered in the Tulip Room of the Warm Friend Tavern when we staged our informal party, Cupid's Court,” on February 3. Admittance was only granted to those who passed through the heart shaped entrance. Valentine boos- ters, bearing the names of each couple, gaily dec-. orated the walls of the court. The star performers of the show were the crowned king and queen, and six of our early twentieth century models reacting the Charleston. When it comes to music, the All-college-sing was brightened by the gay rainbow colors of each A.S.A. member. The finale of this year's show was the colorful Spring Party held in May. No successful year's performance is accomplished without the guidance of competent leaders. Our trainer for this year's show was Miss Mary Breid, assisted by numerous ringmasters among which were our officers. As v e look over our books, we are well aware of the fact that we have completed a very successful and prosperous year. Through hard work and good times the bonds v e formed shall never break. Each one of us will always hold in our memory our Alpha Sigma Alpha, the Freshmen Sorority.

Fraternity activities began almost as soon as the twenty-three members who had chosen to live in the house had moved in. The activities consisted mainly of trying to make the house livable in the midst of the con- fusion always attendant on remodeling. By Home- coming time, however, the major part of the re- modeling was finished, and with the arrival of our house director, Mrs. Jeannette Boeskool, the house took on a distinctly livable air. Activities for the fraternity as a whole began with rush meetings which culminated in a very success- ful rush party at the Country Club. Twenty-eight new members were formally initiated into the frat- ernity on January 7, 1951. We have lost several members to the armed forces. The fraternity led chapel on October 19th with very favorable com- ment from all sides. In intramural games, the Ar- cadians placed first of the fraternities in touch foot- ball and their record in basketball at the time of writing is very good. Homecoming activities this year, besides the usual float and house decorations, consisted of a Homecoming Breakfast, held at the Tulip Restaurant for the alumni and members, and a highly successful open house, at which time the house was officially opened for inspection. The ac- Page One Hundred Twenty-Six tivities for the first semester concluded with a formal party held at the Pantlind Hotel in Grand Rapids. The first semester's activities were undertaken under the inspiring leadership of our president, W. Hoekenga. Ably assisting him were B. Yurash as vice president; H. Parsons as secretary; D. Kooiman as treasurer; B. Moolenaar and B. O'Donnell as sergeants-at-arms; D. Hoffman as Student Coun- cil Representative for the year; D. De Young and G. Bont as Inter-fraternity Council representa- tives; and G. Bont as House Board President. At the Formal party held on the evening of January 26, 1951, the names of the new officers for the second semester were officially announced. J. Hakken was elected president; B. Yurash was re-elected vice president; K. Van Wyk, secretary; B. O'Donnell, treasurer; B. Benson and D. Howard, sergeants-at- arms; D. DeYoung and J. Hascup, Inter-Fraternity Council Representatives; and G. Bont was re-elected House Board President. The World Adventure Series, with proceeds going to CARE, is again being undertaken this year under the able leadership of alumnus D. Veltman, with the assistance of members of the fraternity. The frater- nity is energetically preparing to take part in the All-College Sing and in this year's Penny Carnival. All in all, the year has been characterized by vigor, enthusiasm, and interest.

Cosmopolitan The members of the Cosmopolitan Fraternity have initiated a new era in the fellowship of Phi Kappa Alpha. The society representing friendship, truth and progress, began the school year with their ac- ceptance of a new fraternity home from Hope Col- lege. With the acquiring of Mrs. Elizabeth Den Her- der as house mother, the fraternity commenced liv- ing and meeting at the house, located on the comer of 11th street and Maple Ave. Rushing season and election of new officers were first on the agenda. Corwin Otte was assigned the position of preparing a rushing schedule to impress the new freshmen and to win them over to everlast- ing Cosmopolitan brotherhood. A successful rush- ing season was concluded with the formal initiation of 27 new members. The election of officers again saw such brilliant men as Albert Boers, President; Corwin Otte, Vice President; Roger Visser, Secre- tary, and Douglas Lemmen, Treasurer, ascend to the thrones of power. Professor Kenneth Weller v as elected faculty advisor to the fraternity. As the year moved along, interfraternity football, golf and tennis became the interests. The Cosmos played brilliant golf to assume top honors among the fraternities. Homecoming, with all the tenseness of events, brought the Phi Kappa Alpha fraternity to another skien of victories. They captured first place trophies Page One Hundred Twenty-Eight in the float contest and the newly formed house- decorations contest. During the week end the frat- ernity held open house for all its members, alumni and friends of the society. On Saturday evening, following the Homecoming game, a party honoring the alumni was presented in the Tulip Room of the Warm Friend Tavern. After the Thanksgiving recess, the society resumed activities with interfraternity basketball. On the evening prior to Christmas vacation the Cosmos un- dertook to serenade the women of the campus, jour- neying from one dormitory to the other singing carols. The January 5th meeting saw the fraternity eager- ly awaiting the activities of the new year . The new election of officers presented the members of the fraternity with such notable personages as David Karsten wielding the gavel, Robert Stoppels his sec- ond in command, Gail Van Zyl as the notetaker and William Laing as guardian of funds. The climax of winter activities was the arrival of the long anticipated winter formal. Jack Boeskool and his committee gave members and their guests a serene evening of pleasure under the theme of Moonlight Sonata.” The event took place in the gorgeous atmosphere of the Kent State Room of the Pantlind Hotel in Grand Rapids. It marked just another achievement in the glorious record of Phi Kappa Alpha.

Emersonian After a gay summer which was unfortunately prolonged by eager anticipation for the academic year to resume, the men of Emersonian bade fond farewells to friends, relatives and draft boards, and as early as the first week in September began con- verging on the palatial Emmie House. Life was care- free and loose (figuratively) until House Manager Bob ( Uncle Joe”) Henninges and his smiling board of satellites arrived. Of course, our way of life re- mained essentially the same; Uncle Joe's list of reg- ulations was designed to provide more of a chal- lenge than a change. The fall rushing season began quickly (and effec- tively) with the publication of that stirring historical document Emersonian” (this unique title chosen from submitted list of thousands). The major events of the season were the sensational stag smoker and, a week later, the Emmie Barn Dance which featured a Broadway-calibre performance of the De Waard- Hager stage smash, Spamlet, the G. I. Hamlet.” (Note: apologies to VFW for the smashed stage.) Homecoming was singularly enjoyable this year, with several Emersonians, chiefly Guy Vander Jagt,. Ray Zwemer, Howie Vanden Berge, and some hedonist with a baby-blue Buick convertible filling important roles. Shortly thereafter, two Emersoni- ans, Guy Vander Jagt and Don Prentice, took first Page One Hundred Thirty and second places respectively in the Raven Ora- torical Contest, and both continued on to even wider elocutionary success during the remainder of the year. The annual Emmie All-Night Christmas party was its usual violent success, although by 6:00 A.M. a few of us were dragging. But George! we got a lot of studying done that night. The culminating event of our winter social season was the Emersonian Formal Party, Fantasy in Frost,” which occurred at Grand Rapids' far-famed Morton House. Bob Van Dyke served as general chairman of the affair and A1 Jones (now serving with the navy) as master of ceremonies. Again, in flagrant defiance of fate and better judgment, the casual comedy team of DeWaard and Hager, with the help of Geoffrey, was called upon to present its usual tragic performance. Fortunately, the talents of the Frozen Four (Finlaw, Erickson, Feenstra, and Vander Meer), mimic Bob Henninges, lyric tenor Bernie Plomp, and ace accordionist Jim Loch justi- fied the attempt. The band was smooth, the evening beautiful, the party perfect. At the time of this writing, spring-time activities belong to the realm of the near future, but on the basis of past history and future indications, it is safe to presume that it has been George.

Northuis Fraternal As the one hundredth end seventeenth year draws to a close in the history of the Fraternal Society, the sun of the Fraternal crest continues to ascend. The oldest fraternity on Hope's campus and the sixth oldest Greek letter fraternity in the United States proudly took its place of honor in the activities of the college year. The hallowed hells of the Fraternal House were again occupied by the men of Omicron Kappa Epsilon. Guided by the Frater theme, Few and Chosen, twenty new members were initiated into the Frater- nal ranks. First semester officers were William Hinga, Glen Blocker, Charles Wissink, and Robert Hart- ley. Fraternal continued to select men who are potential leaders of the American and World society of tomorrow. Homecoming was a gala event for the active Fraters, pledges, and alumni. Over a hundred and twenty-five Fraternal alumni attended the receptions and parties of the week end. ... an example of the ever-living fraternal brotherhood of the men of O. K. E. After seven years the light of O. K. E. v as lit over the beloved home as a welome beacon to alumni and friends. The highlight of the winter social season was the annual Winter Formal held in the Grand Ball Room of the Pantlind Hotel. Numerous parties, joint meetings, and serenades contributed more activity to the social calendar. As usual. Fraternal exhibited leadership in athletic activities. Second semester, guided by Gene Campbell, John Van Eenenaam, Robert Bos, and Robert Hartley, was opened by the annual Washington Day Alumni Stag. Again the close association between the alumni and active chapter was shown. The Fraters were ably directed in the All-College Sing by John Van Eenenaam. The Fraters marched into the battle singing The Battle Hymn of the Republic. Joint meetings v ere held with the Delphis, Sorosites, and Emersonians. The outstanding theatrical production of the year on Hope's campus was the seventh annual Frater Frolics which played to large, enthusiastic audiences for three evenings. Amid the laughter of beauti- ful women, impressive surroundings, and Fraternal goodwill, the Fraters brought the year to a close with the Fraternal Spring Party. In the circle of brotherhood the Fraternal men bid farewell to another year at their Swan Song. In the parting words of the men of O. K. E. could be. heard the repeated echoes of v orld strife, tension, and personal insecurity as to the future. The world crisis makes the future an uncertain one for col- lege men the world over, but it can be assured that the rising sun of the Fraternal crest will alv ays be in the minds of the men of Fraternal wherever they may be and that Love, Friendship, and Truth will always be their motto.

Knickerbocker Another successful year was drawn to a close during which the three sides of the Knickerbocker Triangle, Social, Moral, and Intellectual still pre- vailed. Long lingering in the minds of loyal Knicks will be the traditional serenades, Homecoming events, parties, date nights and hay rides. There was even more spirit this year due to the fact that we returned to our fraternity houses. No one will ever forget Mrs. K. and the wonderful spreads she served. The year opened with a busy rushing period during which prospective pledges were invited to stag nights, hay rides and enjoyed good fellowship. Homecoming followed soon after and with the houses reopened on campus, the rivalry between the fraternities was stronger than ever before. The Knicks more than held their own in inter- fraternity competition. In softball the Knicks re- mained favorites to repeat their pennant winning performances of 1949 and 1950. They exhibited that do or die” spirit in football, basketball and track. In the All College sing, the Knicks gave their all and were richly rewarded for their efforts. Highlighting the Knickerbocker social calendar Page One Hundred Thirty-Four were the two parties. The winter formal, which was held in Grand Rapids' Morton House, had as its theme Stairway to the Stars.” Both Knicks and their dates were unanimous in saying that this was one of the best parties that the fraternity had ever held. In early spring Knicks and dates again enjoyed Knickerbocker hospitality at the annual informal party. Eleftherios Sfachtos, a Greek war orphan, better known to the Knicks as Butch,” was once more supported by the fraternity. It is the hope of all the Knicks that this boy will be able to enroll at Hope College some day. A few loyal Knickerbockers answered their coun- try's call to arms, leaving their studies till the con- flict is over. This, plus the fact that many valuable men who have enriched the fraternity graduated, left the ranks rather depleted. A worthy group of neophytes, however, have been added and these men quickly adopted the spirit of Knickerbocker. With the addition of these new men, all of whom prove worthy assets, we shall reach greater heights than ever before as all men rally around the Banner of Knickerbocker.

The council is the governing body of all the fraternities and regulates their functions. Among the numerous duties to be carried out are the rules regarding rushing, bidding, and initiation. Party regulations are set up and grievances of vari- ous kinds are ironed out behind the doors of the council chamber. Another function of this body is the promotion of closer cooperation among the fraternities. Dean Hinga acts as moderator and advisor, he also provides the contact needed with the adminis- tration. Don Fairchild is the secretary of the council. Row l (I., to R )—F.. Lidston. V. Hem, J. Brunscll. L. Loula. Row 2 J. Poet. F. Robinson, J. Bcrnms. A. Herder. E.

Page One Hundred Thirty-Eight Homecoming week-end is one of the highlights of the school year both for the present students and for the alumni, who return to Hope to meet their friends. The festivities began on Friday, October 27, with the annual “Frosh-Soph Pull.” The Sophomores were successful after an hour of hard work and managed to pull their rivals through chilly Black River. The ex citement heightened during the pep rally in the evening, an event at which Lynn Van Weelden was crowned Homecoming Queen, her court consisting of Lois Eng land, Barbara Baker, Yvonne De Loof, Mary Schrier, Joyce Van Drunen, Ann Pleune and Helena Tinklenberg. Saturday morning the Homecoming Parade v as held. The floats followed the theme of ad- vertised products. The appearance of the 1925 football team added to the festivities. Our own football team made Homecom- ing a complete success by trouncing Ad- rian 39-6. In the evening an alumni ban- quet was held in the Julianna Room fol lowing which the dormitories and frater- nity houses held open house. The play.

In the morning the Sophomore Class was found to be most adept in athletics while the innova- tion of a faculty-student baseball game in the after- noon proved to be quite a sensation. The climax of the festivities occurred in the impressive ceremony in the Pine Grove during late afternoon. Reigning as May Queen, Nancy Vyverberg was attended by ' leonine De Boer, Dolores Frey ling, Joyce Post, Cath- erine Sharp, Lynn Van Weelden and Jeanne Ver Beek. The ceremony was preceded by the appear- ance of the daisy chain and the colorful may-pole dance. The honor of being tapped for membership in the Alcor Society went to Nancylee Corp, Dolores Freyling, Connie McConnell, Eleanor Robinson, Con- nie Shilling, Jeanne Ver Beek and Nancy Vyverberg.

After losing seven regulars including five all- MIAA selections from the 1949 squad coach A1 Vanderbush proceeded to mold a fine football machine for Hope College from comparatively in experienced material. Because of a bit of hard luck throughout the season Hope’s 1950 eleven placed third in the league standings, but a tie with Alma's championship squad proved the true caliber of the Dutchmen. In the initial game of the 1950 season Hope met up with a strong Michigan Normal aggregation and tasted defeat in the opening game 19 to 6. Then for the first time in Hope College athletic history football team traveled to Waukesha, Wis- consin to meet Carroll College. Led by all-MIAA halfback Ron Appledorn the Dutch showed their powerful running game to the Scots by scoring a 37 to 26 victory which included runs of 67 and 17 yards by Ron Appledorn and a 30 yard jaunt by fullback Tom Van Wingen. Kalamazoo College was host to Hope College for the opening league contest in which the Dutch ran into a driving rain, some tough luck and con- sequently a 21-20 defeat at the hands of the Hor- nets. Ron Appledorn’s brilliant 80 yard touchdown scamper again highlighted the game. Alma's M1AA champs next came to town and in a game highlighted by defensive play especially on the part of Hope's 210 pound tackle Gene Nynhuis and ace defensive end lack Vander Velde, the Scots fought to a 7-7 deadlock with the Dutch. Grand Rapids J. C. gave Hope their second win of the year in a non-conference game by the lop sided score of 39 to 7. Hope racked up their third win the following week when they downed the Adrian Bulldogs by a 39 to 6 count. Traveling next to Hillsdale to meet the sup- posedly strong defending MIAA champs, the Van- derbush eleven made it 3 in a row by stunning the Dales 14 to 7 in which the whole squad turned in a fine performance. The following week found the Britons from Albion opposing the Dutch in the final game of the season and probably the only poor game of the year for the Dutch in which the Albion backs ran wild to pile up a 26-12 margin of victory over Hope and consequently leaving the Dutch in a tie for third place. The season which ended with 5 wins and 3 losses for Hope produced a number of stars from the roster including Captain Gene Campbell, all- MIAA linemen Lloyd Beekman, Gene Nynhuis and Jack Vander Velde and also backs Ron Appledorn and Tom Van Wingen.

Playing what was probably the toughest schedule in Hope College basketball history the Dutch quintet ended the basketball season with 8 wins and eleven losses. Although they started slowly, mainly because of the stiff opposition. Coach Russ De Vette brought the Hopites on to win six of their last nine games and hence tying Kalamazoo for third place in the M1AA standings. The season opened at Valparaiso University in a game that saw Jim Ove the tenth ranking scorer in the nation lead his team to a 98-81 victory by scoring 31 points. Hope opened its MIAA competi- tion two weeks later with an abbreviated tilt which ended in a 40-28 victory for the Dutch cagers. The Hope five then suffered six straight defeats at the hands of W.M.C. 76-56; Alma 72-58; Wooster 97-79, led by Fred Weckerslee with 36 points; Baldwin- Wallace 90-65; Dayton 90-52 and Hillsdale 65-45. Ferris Institute was Hope's second victim by a 71-59 score in a game that was featured by a 23 point barrage by high scoring center, Junior Bremer. After building up big first half leads in both games the Dutch five lost to Albion 73-67 and to Kalamazoo 85-70. Hope's big victory of the year came over its traditional rival the powerful Calvin College five by the score of 75-70. The Dutch led by Ron Bos with 17 points and Ken Van Regenmorter with 15 points along with some brilliant defensive v ork Page One Hundred Sixty-Four by Jerry Jacobson overcame the great height dis- advantage and went on to win the contest.

Page One Hundred Sixty-Eight Freshman Basketball Under the tutelage ol Coach Jack Schouten, the Hope college freshmen basketball team en- joyed a successful season. The team played a number of games with Holland City League teams, Hope Reformed church of Grand Rap- ids, some of the M.I.A.A. schools and v ith Cal- vin college. The freshmen team played its games as preliminary contests to the varsity tilts, and entertained early-comers to the var- sity contests in the Armory. A few of the mainstays on the club this year included Jesse King, Norm Schuiling, Rod Broersma, and Tim Beerthuis. Two of the lads who started the season with the freshman team showed much promise and were advanced to the varsity. They were Bob Visser and Dave Kempker. The freshmen team, because of all the other activities in the gym, varsity practice, inter- frat games and the women's physical-educa- tion program, had little time to practice. Practices were held for an hour or two, once or twice a week. However, in spite of this, the team made a fine showing and had a com- mendable record, winning six games and los- ing four. Tim Beerthuis, Norm Schuiling and Bob Vis- ser led the season's scoring v ith 98, 85 and 78 points respectively. The Freshmen tangle with Mope Reformed Church. Fighting tor the rebound.

Coach Jack Schouten welcomed live reluming lettermen from last years baseball team and only the lack of a strong pitcher to build around seems to be betv een Hope and a strong team. “Zeke'' Piersma, last seasons regular shortstop and Jim Harvey veteran receiver heads the list of veterans while experienced newcomer Jerry Jacobson promises to bolster the hitting depart- ment.

Perjo One Hundred Seventy-One Tennis With the return of three letter- men, Warren Exo, sophomore; Chuck Votaw, senior; and Ron Bos, junior, and the addition of inter - fraternity champion Dick Nieusma, coaches Harold Haver- kamp and Ken Weller are out to strengthen Hope's grasp on the runner-up spot in the MIAA be- hind the nationally powerful Kal- amazoo College. Additional men bolstering the tennis team this season include Jack Vander Velde, junior; Monte Dyer, John Kenwell, both fresh- men; Ron Schipper, a junior, and Bob Bos, a junior. The team members have been playing home matches at the 13th street courts. The netters this sea- son have shown by their stellar play the result of long hours of practice. After losing only to K-College in the MIAA last year the Dutch expect their main threat to second place to come from Albion. In addition to the usual matches the netters will travel to Lake Forest, Illinois for a match v ith Lake Forest College. The remainder of the schedule is; April 21 Grand Rapids I. C.

Page One Hundred Seventy-Three Track After participating in two large indoor track meets coaches Russ De Vette and Lars Granberg have set out to raise Hope one more notch in the MIAA standings. Although there is a definite lack of depth and balance especially in the sprints and hurdles, some outstanding performers appear in top shape. Wally Vander Meulen's broad-jumping which won second place in the MIAA along with the high-jumping of Herb Wagemaker and Carl Van Farowe and the Javelin throwing of Clayt Borgman give the thinclads strength in the field events. In the track events only Bob Roos in the distances seems sure of points. The complete schedule is: April 21 Grand Rapids J. C.............

Page One Hundred Seventy-Six Dick Huff, Don Lubbers and Dick Kruizenga lead the list of candidates hoping to make Hope a contender for the conference golfing crown. The Dutch will be without the services of the three-time MIAA champion Howard Jalving this year, but with the addition of some promising freshmen, coach A1 Timmer expects to field a balanced aggregation. This year as usual the linksmen meet all the MIAA schools in dual meets plus meeting them at the MIAA field day. Don Prentice, Bob Visser, and Ray Zwemer are the new golfers who are expected to add the balance in the Dutch attack. The MIAA meets will be played with five-man teams for the first time this season. Previously all com- petition was between six-man squads. The squad has started the season with a fine record. The golfers have defeated Muskegon JC, Grand Rapids JC, Alma and Kazoo. Losses to Albion and Calvin are the only dark spots on the record. Ixrft to Right. R. Zwcmcr. D. Kruizenga, D. Prentice. D. Lubbers. R. Visser. R. Huff, Coach A. I immer. Page One Hundred Seventy-Seven Coach Lar Granbcrg. Under the leadership of Coach Lars Gran- berg and through the fine running of Bob Roos, the two-mile record holder, the Hope college cross-country team placed third in the MIAA. With a season record of 4 wins and 2 defeats the cross-country team traveled to Al- bion for the MIAA run in which the team placed fourth as did Bob Roos in the run for individual honors. During the dual meet season the local har- riers defeated Kazoo, Alma, Central Michigan and Hillsdale while losing to the champion Albion team and being edged 29-28 by Adrian. The team, which was led by captain Collins Ottipoby, consisted of Bob Roos, Wayne Tripp, captain-elect for next year, Larry Fabunmi and Neil Van Heest. A number of lettermen will return for next year's running campaign. The entire season's results are as follows for the dual meets: Hope 25............................Kazoo 34 Hope 22.............................Alma 36 Hope 29...........................Adrian 28 Hope 28 - Central Michigan 30 Hope 16........................Hillsdale 49 Hope 45 -.........................Albion 17 Cross Country Page One Hundred Seventy-Eight Roos finishes strong after 4 long miles.
