Miss Shirley Payne Is Directing Annual

Production

The senior class has chosen as their senior play presentat ion, "Lit-

tle Women," adapted f rom Louise M. Alcott 's s tory of the same name. The play will be presented in the Auditorium of Holland High School on the af ternoon of April 25111, and | the evenings of April 27th and

2Hth, under the able direction of Miss Shirley Payne of the college faculty.

The appellation " l i t t le" in re-gards to quali ty, is hardly appro-pr ia te to the girls who take the various pa r t s since each of them is

excellent in por t r ay ing the real character of her play "double." Jean Herman as Jo embodies the spir i t of the play in her boisterous, tempestuous self. Helen Pelon, as Meg, with Victorian shyness, tem-pers the action in a quaint big-sisterly a t t i tude. Helen Johnson, as

the demure and lovely Beth a f fo rds

the pathos in the play. Arloa Van Peursem, as Amy, the would-be sophisticate, converts smiles into laughter at her a t t e m p t s to be ele-gant . Alma Plakke, as Hannah, car-ries off the honors as the tradi-tional Irish maid. Evelyn Van Bree, as the weal thy old maid. Aunt March, doesn' t spoil your concep-tion of the fussy, whining old ladies

As a climax to a successful de-bate season, the men's debating squad held two debates with their ancient rivals, Calvin College. On Tuesday evening, March 7, the neg-ative team of Hope College com-peted the a f f i rmat ive team of Cal-

vin. The debate was held on the local campus in Winant ' s chapel. A f t e r an in teres t ing combat. Pro-fessor Mase, debate coach at Kala-mazoo College, awarded the deci-sion to the Hope debaters. Marvin Kruizenga and Ralph Danhof were j the debaters who represented Hope.

The following Tuesday evening, March 14, the local aff i rmat ive team journeyed to Grand Rapids

Sorosites and F r a t e r s met togeth-er in their annual joint meeting on March 17, at the Fra ternal House.

Despite the gloomy theme of de-pression, everybody cast their cares aside and enjoyed themselves thor-oughly.

S. Hudson led devotions, reading f rom Job, who also passed through a depression. The Fra te r quar te t ,

composed of F r a t e r s Muilenberg, Paalman, Vande Velde, and Vis-scher, sang "P lan ta t ions . "

Sorosites Dethmers and De Pree as Asset and Liabili ty gave a very clever skit on the depression. "Con-tempora ry Swindlers ," was the

very enter ta in ing , as well as infor-mational paper which S. Rottschae-fer read.

The Stryker s i s ters played sev-

eral charming numbers , a f t e r which

F. Damson read a humorous paper

on "Face Value." The Sorosite t.-io, composed of Sorosi tes R. StrykyV,

M. St ryker , and R. Muilenberg, then played a few melodies.

By the end of the program, the Depression was ended to such an extent that the presidents even threw gold coins away to the as-semblage. (The gold was even bet-

ter than it seemed at face value for it proved to be chocolate).

The Reconstruction Finance Cor-

poration then took mat ters in hand

s e r v i n g delicious ref reshments . Guests for the evening were Miss Tysee and Miss Paine.

Hope College Day was observed by the Ladies ' Literary Club of Holland on Tuesday, March 28, when the co-eds of Hope were en-ter tained at tea at the clubhouse.

The hostesses of the day were Mrs. A. E. Lanipen and Mrs. John Dykema. The meeting was presid-ed over by the president, Mrs. C. M. McLean, who introduced the speaker . Professor Campbell of the dramat ics depar tment of the Uni-versi ty of Michigan.

Professor Campbell spoke on "Recent Plays on Broadway." Miss Nella Meyer of the Hope College

facul ty provided the musical enter-ta inment .

A f t e r the p rogram the gir ls were requested to go to the tea room downstairs where a del ightful tea was served.

Hope College day is an annual event, th rough which the Ladies' Li terary Club a t tempts to keep in

touch with Hope College and its activities. The motto which they have adopted f o r the day is, "In flower of youth and beaming pride."—Dryden.

"Let me but live my life f rom year to year ," by Henry Van Dyke, read by Mrs. Durfee, opened the novel Y.W. meeting of March 14,

with the women of the faculty in charge, center ing on the theme, "F rom Day to Day." Miss Boyd led the devotions and in an informal

way told "Why I Like to Read the Bible."

Miss Payne, d rawing from her

own college experience, told how f rom the viewpoint of a g radua te "we get the most out of college

f rom day to day." As a senior, look-!

ing back, she said she supposed she had acquired some knowledge, " for even the dumbest person can't go to college without ge t t ing a few

ideas." Most of all, she said, she regre t ted not making more person-al contacts, for f r iendship is one of the most valuable assets of a college career .

The musician of the faculty. Miss Meyer, p re fe r r ing to give her mes-sage through her fingers, played Brahm's " Intermezzo in E Flat Minor."

Miss Ross emphasized the need for t ak ing time to see the beauty

all about you, in the chapel, in mu-sic, and in l i tera ture . "Education should make you feel the beauty of things till you can't feel any more. We should have a love of beauty because it is t ru th . "

"Your Af te r -Se l f " was Mrs. Dur-fee's topic. "Wha t kind of a woman will you be twenty or th i r ty years from n o w ? " she queried. " W h a t are you doing now to make tha t woman what she should be? Havt an ideal woman to follow. If you haven' t , then build yourself one."

Morning

The re t i r ing Y.M. president , Wil-

lard Meengs, addressed the Y.M.

meet ing of March 21 on the sub-

ject, " W h a t ' s Wrong with Hope

Col lege?" The first th ing he stated

as wrong was making promises

among s tudents and fail ing to ful-fill them. Then, the "Big Men" of the past no longer appear in our

g radua t ing classes. Also he found serious faul t with the type of mu-

sic played at vesper recitals and at chapel services, i t is all. Ire said, too melancholy; we should hear music with more br ightness and life in it.

However, the principle faul t lies, he contended, in the lack of Chris-tian Hope. As th rough a r i f t in the clouds a t sunset, a single gleam of sun l ights up the whole visible

world, so a litt le Christ ian fai th shining through the pessimism of this depression would lighten the world and inspire Christ ian Hope.

A discussion followed, with many par t ic ipat ing, a t t empt ing to deter-mine how f a r Chris t iani ty can be put into practice. President Wich-

ers sounded a hopeful note by ob-serving at the conclusion tha t al-though Hope College undoubtedly

has a grea t distance to go, there was no question in his mind tha t in comparison Hope College would outrank other inst i tut ions of a sim-ilar nature.

Special music was furnished by-Mark Brower, accompanied by Wil-liam Welmers.

In direct defiance to Dame Ru-mor, who said that Hope College was going to suspend operations

for next year, comes the word that prepara t ions are being made to make next year a b igger and bet-t e r Hope year. Professors Winter, Payne, and Raymond as a commit-

tee of three have organized a plan of school-visiting tha t will include

over f i f ty schools in western Michi-gan f rom Manistee to Watervliet . The purpose of these visits is to

secure a desirable class of students for enrollment next year . Schools already visited by the committee include those in Allegan, Muskegon,

Gobies, Mat tawan, Fennville, Spar-ta, and Ravenna. Other faculty members who will t ake par t in the

school-visiting are Professor Mc-Lean, Timmer , Kleis, Lampen, Ross,

Wolters, and Pres ident Wichers.

In addition to an address by the Hope facul ty representa t ive , musi-cal selections by a g roup of stu-dents a re presented. Three groups of s tudents have part ic ipated in these assembly p rograms : the

S t ryker sisters, Jean Herman and Ruth Van Oss, and the male quar-te t te of Muilenberg, Meyer, Cotts,

and Cook. Pr iva te interviews are a r ranged for those s tudents who are interested, and they are given catalogs. The names and records

of these s tudents are also consid-ered for scholarships. In the inter-ests of the seniors, inquiries are made about possible teaching va-cancies.

President Wichers has launched on another par t of th is campaign by sending le t ters to minis ters and Hope g radua tes in an effort to se-cure the i r aid and suppor t . With all these prepara t ions it looks as if we can all look forward to a great year, full of splendid possi-bilities, for our dear Alma Mater.

Ethel Leestma Will Present . Piano Recital

For some weeks the members of the Student Council have been put -t ing their heads together . Thei r technique evidently was so good tha t they have evolved some very

unusual and in teres t ing plans for the annual All-College banquet.

The date for the banquet has been set f o r April nineteenth. How-ever, a unique custom is to be in-s t i tu ted this year. The day upon which the All-College banquet is to be held will be, as well, an All-College Day. A special p rogram will be a r ranged in the morning, and s tudents will come to school dressed in costumes appropr ia te fo r

a day of hard manual labor ,—par-

don, — co-manual labor, fo r not even the co-eds will be exempt . A f t e r the p r o g r a m , books and

classes will be forgot ten , and the entire s tudent body will be turned loose upon the campus to see how much they can do to improve upon the appearance of our campus.

Pe rhaps this "Clean-up" day was planned with the malice of fore-

thought in order t ha t the s tudents would have an oppor tuni ty to work up an appet i te f o r the delicious and t empt ing banquet t ha t is to follow in the evening. Though we a r e to dine accompanied by o r c h e s t r a l music and sof t l ights, the price fo r the meal — only thirty-five cents— in itself is soothing.

THOMPSON S P E N D S HOURS MAKING EMBRYO

SLIDES

It is an established fact t ha t Hope's science depar tment is one of the best of its class in the coun-

try. Although many realize this fact only a few know the reasons for it. Probably the most powerful reason fo r the success of this de-pa r tmen t is the conscientious and unt i r ing service rendered by those who direct the work there—namely,

the science depar tment professors . Here is a typical example of the i r work. Professor Thompson, of the biology depar tment , works on the

average of three or four hours per day making slides for use in ana-tomy, embryology and botany labs. He has already completed several series of pig embryo slides and a number of complete series of chick

embryo slides as well as some I whole mounts. This work requ i res ' a grea t deal of technique and care. For th is reason the purchasing price is very high. These slides cost one dollar each when bought f rom the supply house. When you consid-er fifty or s ixty slides to a com-plete series, then it may be easily realized just how much Professor Thompson has saved the college. He deserves a g rea t deal of credit considering the lack of facilities with which to work. Not only has he saved Hope several hundreds of dollars but he has also given the biology s tudents perfected mater ia l with which to work.

Spirit such as this unifies and strengthens the science department to such a degree that its present accomplishments will continue to build that reputation which even now has lived so long.

The first g raduat ion piano recital of the year is to be given tonight in Hope Memorial chapel by Miss

Ethel Leestma. She has been en-rolled in the Hope College School of Music and is a piano pupil of Miss Nella Meyer. Her program follows:

Prelude and Fugue in D Major

REIGNING IN OPTIMISM

Until some months ago, a favori te slogan observed tha t "prosperity is jus t around the corner." Now that phrase has become a laughing stock, and people are cynically beginning to question whether America will ever again know her former

prosperity. Many who have begun to apply this to their own fu tu res

and outlooks are to a large extent those who, finding their answers in the negative, have increased the number of cor-oner's verdicts: "Suicide." Others have adopted a probably more sagacious course and have refused steadfast ly to rec-ognize defeat. They have overlooked or disregarded the omi-nous signs of the past and the no less portentous omens of the f u t u r e ; they have harbored illusions as the only effective

antidote against hypochondria. Beneficial on the whole, this "crazy optimism," as one

man calls it, has had one detrimental feature. It has sup-planted the natural fits of honest self-doubt, often expressed in moods morose and gloomy, with a fictitious sunshine tha t has blinded many eyes to apparent, remediable faults . The depression, through a proper chastening of mortal spirits, is supposed to have effected a reconsecration to ideals, a resurrender of self to a worthy cause. Unhappily, however, it has had another quite as prevalent resul t : by necessitating a stimulated optimism, it has glossed over and found excuses for many of the serious faul ts which can be corrected only through overt recognition of their existence. Pessimism has been deplored again and again, yet one invaluable service — an indispensible preliminary to the realization of any ideal — it has rendered: the admission of shortcomings. No one likes the morose individual who sees only the dark side of the clouds, but probably no one will impeach his sanity by inquir-ing if he knows enough to come in out of the rain, for he has noted the signs of the storm and has taken care not to be caught in the deluge.

COURTESY IN CHAPEL

s tant squirming, coughing, sneezing and talking in te r rup ts

one's speech. Then there is the mat te r of courtesy to other s tudents .

Strange as it may seem, there are some students who actually do enjoy the chapel programs, the organ selections and who still have reverence for the religious devotions, and there a re even some who are interested in the announcemnts, which are sometimes very important, but because a few s tudents insist on behaving like spoiled grade children, these other s tudents miss much of the beauty of the chapel program. It is unfair to them, and it is also in sad contrast with the beauty

of the chapel itself. The coughing can be controlled, and the conversation can

certainly be stopped. If all the s tudents would think a little of others, the chapel service could be made the most beautiful

and inspiring period of the day. L. S.

Alumni News

The chapel service in the morning is held in order to in-spire the students of Hope College for the day's work. It is also fitting tha t a Christian college should have a service of this sort, since it causes the s tudents to realize t ha t a f t e r all, and through all, they are dependent upon God for help

and guidance. Of late, or ra ther for a long period of time, the chapel

service has lost some of its spirit of reverence, worship, and devotion. Many students seem to consider the service an occa-sion for talk, laughter, crude jokes, the day's gossip and the latest information on dates, love affairs, etc.

Should a famous prima donna, a great poet, or a great musician give a program the s tudents would all sit up and listen, not a sound would be heard and a f te r the program or between numbers the silence would be so deep tha t the pro-verbial pin would be able to be heard. Moreover, none of these famous speakers, singers, or musicians would even continue until the audience was quiet and attentive.

Now as f a r as we know, we do not have any such famous people on our campus, but at the morning services the selec-tions rendered on the organ, the short speeches given and the religious service conducted are as important and equally as good as those of trained performers . Are the s tudents at tent ive because of th is? No! Every speaker is greeted with a chorus of coughs, sneezes, snores and sniffs, and some individuals seem to take special delight in forming a chorus of these with other individuals in the same condition. Not only is the coughing annoying, but the uninterrupted conver-sation and continual buzz of voices is equally so. Imagine yourself facing a restive audience of this type, where a con-

while Mr. (Jelmer Kuiper acted as

Today I stop and look back over

a lmost fou r y e a r s of college l i fe—

of "educa t ion ." Four years ago I

said I wanted to become a min i s te r

of the gospel — to help others . I

mixed freely wi th the people of

my home town — I was one of

them, and I s aw thei r problems,

and a desire was roused in me to

help them. I was contented wi th

my lot in the small town of which

1 was a pa r t . 1 worked hard and I

played happi-ly with each and all.

I I could talk with them and tell

them of my problems, knowing a

ready and sympathe t ic ear was lis-

tening, and I could listen to the i r

joys and sorrows in t he same m a n -

ner.

Then I expressed my desire to

help them and all o thers in the i r

problems — social, religious, or

wha tno t . My expression b rought

fo r th a t tent ion from the few who

had been "educa ted ." They told me

I'd have to be educated. They sent

me off with m a n y a "Godspeed,"

and now I have become "educa ted . "

I have been t a u g h t the secrets of

Galswor thy , Shakespeare , Milton

and m a n y others . They have lec-

tu red to me on the beauty of

Chopin, Wagner , Mendelssohn, and

have given me a potential desire to

develop an apprec ia t ion of all the

a r t s . They have talked dogma and

belief and more and d i f ferent doc-

t r ine to me unti l my mind h a s be-

some definite s tand a r e so numer-

ous t h a t I cannot en te r on any one

wi thout feel ing I must be wrong —

and yet they tell me I can' t choose

a middle route but mus t take one

of the extremes. I have delved into

the lives of s t a t e smen , scient is ts , pa t r io t s , monarchs , pres idents , and

The old radio hit , " H o w Do You Do," introduced us to the radio p rog ram, over Sta t ion H O P E , given by the new gir ls March 10.

A children's hour, g u i t a r duet, sermon on "Old Mother Hubbard ,"

and a skit composed the p rogram a f t e r which delicious r e f r e s hm e n t s

were served. A p rogram devoted to William

Butler Yeats was given on March 17. Vocal selections were renderec

by S. Matsunobu and "The Lane of H e a r t ' s Desire" was reviewed by

E. DenlJyl. A f t e r another week of exposure

to wint ry blasts , it seemed fit t ing tha t we should be given a Spring

ionic. Dr. (^uack and his Nurse pre ceded the skit , "Diagnos is , " which was followed by the "Clinic,"

where the ent i re audience was

cured. • • »

The Delphi L i te ra ry Society had

its r egu la r meet ing F r i d a y night.

March 24. The meet ing was a unique one,

being presented by the Ruths ol

the society—there a rc only eight of them, by the way. The devotions

were in charge of Ruth Mulder, who read an app rop r i a t e portion in the Book of Ruth. The singing

was led by Ruth Meengs. Then Ruth Dekker read a pape r on the

der ivat ion of the name Rutii which was followed by a g roup uf popular songs in terpre ted by the Ruths

Mulder and Fisher . Ruth Burket t read a clever paper on character

sketches on the var ious Ru ths ; Ruth Van Oss played a g roup of piano

numbers , and the final number was a very much apprec ia ted skit of an in t r iguing c rys ta l -gazer who fore-

told very practically the fu tu re s of

our Ruths.

Maid from the raisin box, Butterick pattern No. 4891, and even "When it Pours" was there. "Time to Re-tire" came, too.

Last F r iday a clever " T r a i n " pro-g r a m was given by Sybls Ketel, De Uaan , Vis, and Vander Meulen. Two pieces of coal, smouldering

because of the intense heat on the sands of an Afr ican deser t , had a most in teres t ing chat . The "Sib

Special ' was made more secure be-cause of the good "Rai ls ," and oh, what "Scenery!" Sybl Vis might define "Caboose" fo r you if would jus t ask her.

Tomorrow af ternoon the Sibswill meet fo r tea before leaving for Spr ing vacation.

Knickerbocker * * *

At their last meeting the Krick-

bockers had the pleasure of listen-ing to Paul Klein read his very interes t ing paper , which he en-titled "The World on Fi re ." His paper and Earl Vander Poel'r, cur-rent events paper both dealt with international problems and threat-ened to turn the meet ing into an international peace conference. Ihe humor for the evening was supplied in a very subtle manner by William Heyns and Jack Van-der Meulen. accompanied by Marc Brouwer. through their rendition of popular music. The critic of critics for the evening was Lloyd Chapman.

Following the more amusing part of the meeting the Knicks turned to weightier things and proceeded to elect of f icers for thi >pring term. Herber t Marsil je was chosen to guide the Knickerbocker "Ship of S ta t e" for the next three months as their president, and vice prescient to assist him.

Depression dinners being the or-der of the day, the boys of Phi Tau Nu ga thered around the fes-tive board on March 17, at Emerso-nian Hall to p a r t a k e of meat loaf, et cetera, topped off with delicious cups of Veldman's original dr ip coffee. The annual "Sp r ing Elec-tion Feed" is being planned f o r Thursday , March 30, to conclude the winter t e rm.

Because President Veldman was attending a National Conference on Ways and Means of the RO.S.C.. Richard "Plato" Evenhuis presided at the last meeting on Friday night. A1 Schfiiling opened the pro-

ence and through the professor 's wit the guests were kept laughing most of the time.

Tomorrow night the Knicks will again enter ta in their lady fr iends at their f i r s t spr ing pa r ty .

Have you heard the latest news? All about the campus of Elinore Pierrepont? Poor Herby "Dew

Drop" Marsi l je . f o r she can ' t go to the Knickerbocker Depression

Par ly . You should see Ben Timmer , Herby Boy, as he was the cause

in ge t t ing her into this u n f o r t u n a t e .situation. Yes, you a re my right hand, but I must not let my right

hand know what my left hand is doing. As boys we acted like boys, now that we have become College

Men we mu.-t love like College Men.

Big defenseless schooners of beer, and my open mouth flying f rom one

to another like a but terf ly among flowers. Yes, the dog's b rea th was like opening the kitchen door of a hyde room in the t anne ry on a hot summer night .

can't men wear linens, silks or other summer-weight fabr ics? Re-member the pores, for they are al-

ways with us. Have you seen how happy Marie Verduin has been the past few days? That All-American smile never fades from view. If

you have seen her, you mus t have seen a tall young fellow within

calling distance. Folks, may I now take the t ime to introduce Alumnus

Marvin Meengs. Grea te r joy hath no woman, than when a young man, with whom they a re willing

to play ball, comes to town. "When an electric cur ren t runs through a wire, it makes the lamps glow. My eyes a re like the lamps when a thought of you runs through me."

Sleuths — shadows — ah. how the old detective agency has been bear ing down on its labors recent-ly! (Spr ing 's well on the way!)

College halls are cluttered full of unders tand ing smiles; you can't

t raverse the campus without stum-bling over many a cooing couple; ami ihe Welmers -Har r i s romance is coming to a head! But tha t , as

the j an i t o r remarked a f t e r sweep-ing the bottom step, is ano ther story.

And wha t a s to ry ! ! Boys and girls, shall I tell you the t r u e story

of one of the sweetest romances in the his tory of Hope?

William was ta l l ; he was mascu-line (believe it or n o t ) ; and he

was a gay romance. He was scan-

ning the campus one day when his eye alighted on a demure l i t t le lass, and there it perched. Poor child! She couldn't help it — s h e didn' t flirt or any th ing — h o n e s t l y ! But

anyone who came near Bill a t that time could hear him murmurint r sof t ly :

"Hea r the mellow wedding bells,

Golden bells!

What a world of happiness their memory for te l l s ! "

W asn t tha t just too coy for words, boys and gir ls? He even recited it before Dr. Nykerk ' s

speech class — a n d when he finish-

ed, there was a tear in every eye. One snowy evening, William got

the car for a date. The next day al the table he confided to the fam-

ily that he hadn' t needed a heater evening! Tsk! ( Jus t ask our

hero if t ha t isn' t perfect ly t rue ) .

But come, come, we a r e get t ing sent imenta l ! There are o ther topics of the day.

The formal program w a s follow-ed by a music guess ing contes t in which John Cotts fused n ineteen popular melodies in to a ve ry sym-phonic medley. Then, j u s t a s the ancient philosopher turned t h e rev-el ing court of Dionys ius into a thoughtful group of philosophers drawing geoemtric figures on the floor, the lords and ladies of the Addison party were transformed into philosophers at tempting to ad-just the geometric figures of jig-saw puzzles (but on the tables) .

WEATHER-COCK The season f o r a t h l e t i c s of

Hope col lege has ended f o r a n o t h -er y e a r . T h e only t h i n g to do is to s t a r t t h i n k i n g a b o u t our t e a m s f o r nex t yea r . Many a r t i c les a r e now a p p e a r i n g in local n e w s p a p e r s abou t the pa s t baske t ball season. A few c l ipp ings f r o m t h e De t ro i t F r e e P r e s s s u m m a r i z e s all . He re a r e a f ew of the high l igh t s f r o m these a r t i c l e s :

"It is doub t fu l if a n y a t h l e t e in the M. I. A. A. has t u r n e d in a s o u t s t a n d i n g a l is t of p e r f o r m a n c e s as N o r m a n Bor ton of A l m a college has compiled, a t leas t no t in more

1 recent s ea sons . In foo tba l l , bas-ket ball and t r ack he has v i r tua l ly been in c lass by h imse l f . A l m a ' s t e a m s have been molded about him. In b a s k e t ball Bor ton was two y e a r s t h e choice f o r f o r w a r d . He w a s al;:o the best s co re r in the confe rence . In t rack ne i a n k s with the best a i l - a round a t h ' e t e s in con-fe rence h i s to ry . Las t s p r i n g he broke t h e record in t h e discus by more t h a n 9 fee t , t o s s ing t h e plat-t e r 132 f e e l , 7 inches. He a lso set a new m a r k in the j ave l in th row. Borton s t a n d s six fee t and we ighs lh() pounds . "

" S o m e a t h l e t e s shun old No. 1.?. But not the two N o r m a n s — K a n e of Olivet and Borton of Alma. In f ac t t hey call it lucky. A f t e r wea r -ing Ihe " 1 3 " ('ii t he i r b a s k e t ball sui ts all s eason , Kane and Borton came t h r o u g h with f l y i n g colors to win f o r w a r d posts on the annua l all-M. I. A. A. qu in te t . It w a s the second a w a r d fo r Borton as senior , and the f n ^ t fo r K a n e , a jun io r

i f rom D e t r o i t . " Much t ime is be ing taken fo r

the p r e p a r a t i o n of t r a c k t e a m s in the con fe rence . T r a c k this y e a r will not be much because of the well-known depress ion . On the t r a ' k t e a m s one is ab le to f ind many a t h l e t e s of o t h e r t e a m s . The t rack coaches usual ly do not allow thei r men to go ou t fo r footbal l for f e a r of in ju r i e s , b u t many of them avoid th is r e s t r i c t ion in some way.

You m i g h t be i n t e r e s t ed to know tha t when th i s i n f o r m a t i o n was received f r o m Mr. H i n g a a cer-tain young fellow by the n a m e of " P r i m e " Schol ten w a s v? ry anxious to go a long to t h e house of the coach wi th the w r i t e r of th is a r t i -cle. He begged and begged until ne was f ina l ly a l lowed to go. He ran mo. t of t h e w a y . We wonder w h y ? To his d i s a p p o i n t m e n t the coach and fami ly and ( a h e m ) the college s t u d e n t were f o u n d ea t ing , t h u s no i n t e r r u p t i o n w a s occurred . Was he m a d ? He did not run home. Well , H a r v e y ( t h a i is his f i r s t n a m e ) , has m a d e a good as-s i s t a n t m a n a g e r th i s y e a r and he should be given a vo te of t hanks . Also Car ro l l Noi l in did an excep-tional p h c c of work as m a n a g e r of the squad . The m a n a g e r s re-ceive l i t t le credi t , bu t t hey do much work .

It is a cus tom t h a t the a th le t ic a w a r d s be given a t the al l-college banque t . This will a lso occur this yea r .
