"I am not a teacher: only a fellow-traveler of whom you asked the way. I pointed a h e a d — a h e a d of myself a s well a s of you." George Bernard Shaw.

storm of decreased and increased en-rollment with a complacent stride; whose varied interests have made him

a prominent member of the community; to one who has, in the role of advisor guided many of Hope's students to their future goals; to DR. CLARENCE DE GRAAF we ascribe this statement of George Bernard Shaw and proudly dedicate this MILESTONE of 1947.

He has the capacity to combine religion and education, making them unified and integrated. He radiates his own deeply religious philosophy of life throughout the classroom and the campus and it is revealed in every aspect of his life. Through his eyes the student sees deeper and farther into litera-ture and his own life. With this he has endeared himself to all his students and received their deepest respect.

He sheds his intellectual cloak for a congenial c a p e on the college level. Everyone enjoys his perti-nent and ever present sense of humor, which a lways adds to the pleasure of college functions, of which he is a regular participant.

It is because of these and many more attributes, because of gratitude, and appreciation, that we, the class of 1948 dedicate this MILESTONE of 1947 to DR. CLARENCE DE GRAAF.

As the city of Holland looks back on 100 years of development, Hope too looks back on its 80 odd years of progress. Both Hope and Holland, although never losing sight of the spiritual founda-tions laid down by the Rev. A. C. Van Raalte, have realized that to be the well-rounded individual, stress must be placed on social and intellectual development as well.

This year has been one of transition for Hope. After three years of war-time limitations, we find it admirably meeting the problems of a greatly increased enrollment.

But Hope is not content to rest upon past achievements! There is an ever present determination that Hope shall yet progress spiritually, scholastically, and socially.

A city within a city, that is Hope College, Its students a re the citizens, the professors the magistrates, yet it is democracy, for all h a v e a voice in the managemen t . The school, Hope, is the focal point, a n d a s Freshmen become upperc lassmen they find themselves taking more a n d more a n active part in the activities of the "City". Life goes on outside the college a n d each student is d r a w n into a n d part icipates in the functions of the outside world. Yet, he remains a n integral part of the institution, being nourished from a n ever-increasing interest in the s tages of development that m a k e u p our city, Hope.

One of the prime purposes of Hope's program is to develop a well ba lanced individual. To supplement accurate, intelligent, minds with sound, healthy, bodies is the aim of the athletic de-partment. An intensive program of intra-mural sports adds immeasurably to this development. Accompanying this program a re definite requirements of physical education for all students graduat ing from Hope. While helping to maintain a strong body, this requirement provides excellent recreation and promotes healthy competition.

No matter where it be; on the gridiron, on the cinder track, or on the hardwood, Hopeites display a highly competitive and fighting spirit throughout each and every contest, and whether they are the victor or the vanquished, they a lways display the paramount pinnacle of good sportsmanship.

The development of the well rounded individual incorporates not only spiritual, mental a n d physical development but social development as well. Here on Hope's campus the members of the student body practice their citizenship in close proximity with others, exchanging opinions, ideas, and mannerisms. Here its members live, work, a n d p lay through four of the best, most b roaden ing years of their lives. Life here is not easy, but it is a lways exciting, It is a n educat ion in itself.

PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION (Cont'd) The administrative unit in direct contact with the student body is the Division of Personnel Adminis-

tration. It is a large organization, with numerous branches influencing the adjustment and develop-ment of the student.

Mr, Milton L. Hinga as Dean of Men probably comes into personal contact with more students on the campus than any other man. Whether a student 's problem is scholastic, social, disciplinary, or purely personal, he can be assured of a sympathetic and understanding listener in Dean Hinga.

Dr. Elizabeth Lichty, the Dean of Women, is the personal supervisor of all the women students, either off or on the campus. Interviews with the Dean of Women are given for personal or disciplinary reasons.

Popular Miss Laura Boyd, as Director of Student Affairs, schedules the social calendar for the year. Her task is an arduous one, but her pleasing manner makes it a pleasure to confer with her.

Sympathetic and professional assistance is given by the Registrar, Rev. P. Hinkamp. As Director of Public Relations Mr. Clyde Geerlings is a popular individual, and he can be seen every day moving about the campus looking for interesting subjects for his camera. Dean of Admissions is Prof. A. Tim-mer, a former instructor in Latin. His winning smile has won for him,many new friends at Hope.

Other members of the various departments of Personnel Administration are pictured on these pages. They are carefully chosen for their abilities in a particular field of work, and all of them are extremely popular with the student body.

THE F A C U L T Y of

Hope College

A liberal education is based on the idea that one of the purposes of a college training is to develop a philosophy of life. To encourage a student to find himself, his individual capacities, and to discover his own powers and enthusiasms, our faculty has provided an effective program in a clear and com-prehensive way. By devising a flexible educational program each student is given a chance to decide in which of the many fields of endeavor he is par-ticularly interested and most likely to succeed. In this rich curriculum created by the faculty is a wide range of subjects, developed to furnish each student with the general basis of knowledge to cope with the varied problems of the world. To help every student to live intelligently and happily and to un-derstand society in general in our complex civiliza-tion is the aim of every faculty member.

It would be impossible for most students to imagine a day when they were not under the direct or indirect influence of the faculty members. Their position is not pretentious, but in making Hope College a "home a w a y from home", they lay the foundations for our future. Individually and col-lectively their talents and experiences represent a wide and varied field of learning. From early morning until late afternoon we have looked at blackboards and perused our books, we have listened, and studied, and supposedly learned. Certainly we owe a great debt to the group of faculty who have not only worked at instructing us,

but have made it interesting from time to time and spent so much extra time coaching us. They are as important a part of Hope memories as the as-sociations of our fellow students.

The work of the college faculty has been out-standing during this transitory year of 1946 and 1947. Even though the student body has increased tre-mendously, every student in given the opportunity to personally contact the faculty for careful guid-ance, friendly suggestions, and aid in the solving of their academic problems.

The faculty has been called upon to sacrifice study, research and leisure hours to meet the de-mands of this increased student body. They have taken on academic teaching loads far beyond the capacity ever asked of them by the college ad-ministration. Their job has not been an easy job, and after working with them and for them we have acquired a respect and admiration for them that demonstrates the excellence of their work. In the years to come we will have a greater appreciation for the priceless guidance and direction which the academic staff have directly or indirectly exerted upon us.

Because of their response with magnificent cordi-ality to the unusual requests made of them, this next section of the Milestone will give us an insight into this important phase of our life at Hope.

DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH

E. BRAND

B. KRUITHOF

English is bound up with every waking moment of our lives. We do our thinking in English; we speak and we write in English. English has greater social utility than any other subject as it is employed, in its three forms, writing, speaking and reading, in all activities of life, vocational and social and is the medium through which all other subjects a re taught.

The importance of the English department is displayed when we consider the importance of the English language itself. Only when we use it properly can we carry on life as we know it, and the members of the department have strived to give us enough of the fundamentals to satisfy our requirements. When we look at a corrected theme or at the results of a spelling test, we begin to realize that we need even more than we receive, but who has not grumbled at a difficult theme topic or slightly oversize assignment?

First year English, required of all students, concerns itself primarily with grammar, rhetoric and composition. These act as tools for work in all classes and forms a basis for all ad-vanced courses in the English department. A student, master-ing these mechanical forms and rhetorical principles effectively, is equipped for a study of literature. Assisting the student in these fundamental courses of the department are Mr. Brand, Mr. Prins and Mr. Ten Hoor.

Literature is written not only for entertainment but has a secondary purpose in that it disseminates a philosophy of life and makes contributions to international relationships through which one gains an insight into the lives, culture and philoso-phies of peoples of other countries. Under the capable supervision of Dr. De Graaf, Dr. Hollenbach, Miss Reeverts and Rev. Kruithof, we are introduced to the best of English and American poetry, essays, novels and dramas. For us they interpret, and teach us to perceive, the fundamental truths or bits of humor incorporated in each piece of writing.

Hope is indeed fortunate in its professors and instructors in the English department, for each one is vitally interested in the language and literature of the field, and, by this very interest, manage to make the subject interesting to those who merely meet the minimum requirements or those who elect to take advanced courses in the subject.

DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC

MRS. W. C. SNOW

J. HOLLEMAN

The Music Department has had another successful year with many accomplishments of which to be proud.

To facilitate the teaching of music the college purchased the Walsh House on Ninth Street which provides piano and voice studios. Practice pianos are available in the basement of the Chapel also. For organ students, there are practice organs, and for advanced students there is the four-manual Skinner organ of fifty-seven stops.

There are three divisions in the Music Department—organ, piano, and voice. A student may major in any one of these fields.

Mrs. Snow has full charge of the organ department where a great deal of attention is paid to the development of the church organist. The ideal church organist must be as much of an artist as the concert organist, and in addition be thoroughly familiar with his duties and conduct as an officer of the church.

The piano department has Mrs. Snow, Miss Holleman, Mrs. Karsten, and Mr. Johnston. The student must show satisfactory musicianship before graduation.

With Mr. Cavanaugh at its head, the voice department has enlarged greatly. Two new members were added to the faculty this year. They are Miss Cook and Mrs. Baughman. Miss Cook was presented in a joint recital with Mr. Johnston at the beginning of the year.

A popular class in music this year is the conducting class under Miss Holleman. Other music classes are History of Music, Theory, Ear-training and Sight-singing.

Every Tuesday morning during the year, the student body was given the opportunity to hear members of the various fields of music. A special vocal or instrumental number was rendered each week.

Throughout the year, Hope's students and faculty have enjoyed several concerts through the efforts of the Music De-partment. These have included guest artists such as Mr. Rudolph Ganz, conductor of the Grand Rapids Symphony, and an emminent pianist.

DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE

G. VAN ZYL

H. KLEINHEKSEL

One of Hope College's newest buildings is the Science Building which was constructed in 1938, Here the future doctors, chemists, and other science majors receive their train-ing. It is from here that many outstanding students have gone into the various fields of science and have shown the results of excellent scientific background, for which Hope is well known.

The fine facilities and laboratories plus the capable instruct-ing which the students receive makes for better organized and guided work, which gives eager minds initiative, incentive, and the desire to learn. It is here that the foundation is laid for future years either in research or in professional work. It is also here that the students of other fields may receive a cultural background and understanding to make their lives richer and more abundant , which is essential for growth.

In the Science Department is the Chemistry Department and the Biology Department. Dr. Gerrit Van Zyl, the head of the Chemistry Department, teaches the advanced courses in Chemistry. Besides being a master in his field, he is a master of dry humor and his once-every-four-years' stories keep the Chemistry majors in a good mood for the long hours of laboratory work. Ably assisting Dr. Van Zyl are Dr. J. Harvey Kleinheksel and Dean Charles Wimmer, both of whom teach beginning and advanced courses.

After the course in General Inorganic Chemistry, Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis a re offered. Organic and Physical Chemistry, plus several other advanced courses make up the whole of the Department.

For those whose interests run along the line of plants and animals, and life processes, Hope offers a very fine Biology Department under the direction of Dr. Teunis Vergeer. His deep understanding and interest in his students makes him as much a friend as an instructor. Both Dr. Vergeer and Professor Oscar Thompson teach elementary and advanced courses in Biology. Professor Thompson has recently returned to Hope's Biology Department after several years of absence. Miss Frances Koeman, a recent Hope graduate, and Miss Jenny Spoelstra, one of the college nurses, teach courses in this de-partment also.

DEPARTMENT OF LANGUAGES

MRS. P. PR1NS

N. MEYER

Included in the Department of Languages are courses in French, Spanish, Latin, German and Dutch. The beginning or first year course in each of the languages consists chiefly in a study of grammar, introduction to and memorization of a basic vocabulary, oral drill and conversation, reading exercises, and frequent exercises in composition. The second year course continues the study of grammar but emphasizes translation and outside reading to acquaint the student more thoroughly with the personal habits, characteristics, and traits of the people in the countries about which they are studying. Ad-vanced work in any of the languages is offered,

^ Senior students in French may take French Phonetics, French Composition and Conversation, the teaching of French or Ad-vanced Conversation. German majors make an intensive study of modern German drama, the novel, modern German short stories, German poetry and opera, a study of the life of Schiller or Goethe, the Romantic school of Heinrich Heinie, or Scientific German. Advanced Latin students take selected readings of Roman Literature in translation, Roman Philosophy, or a Latin Methods Course designed in conjunction with the Department of Education to give careful consideration to methods employed in the teaching of Latin in junior and senior high schools.

Newest addition to the Department is the course in Dutch, ably instructed by Dr. Bouvy. A Sophomore course, it covered the grammar and vocabulary as well as Dutch Literature.

Courses in Greek are also offered to college students by the Western Theological Seminary. A Beginner s Course consists of methods of study with word lists and inflections. Sophomore Greek consists of a review and application of the principles of syntax and inflection. Third year students delve into se-lections of Thucydides, and the style, method, and aim of the Greek historians are studied, together with a review of the important facts of Greek history. Majors in Greek complete their course with a study of Homer, selections from the "Iliad" and "Odyssey," Sophocles' "Antigone," Philosophy of Plato the History of Greek Literature, and Aristotles' "Ethics".

DEPARTMENT OF RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

E. OSTERHAVEN

A Christian college receives justification for its existence in that it seeks to bring its students into a proper relationship with Jesus Christ. Although it is necessary that that spirit and that purpose permeate all of the instruction of the college, the application and understanding of Christianity are brought to a focus in the Department of Religious Education. It is here that the student, in a very particular sense, learns to make his "relationship with God, through His Son, Jesus Christ, such that it guide him on life's way, temper his actions, and render him ready and anxious to perform God's will for his life," as stated in the college bulletin.

As Hope College believes that the Word of God is the foundation of all true wisdom, it requires that certain courses be taken by each student. All freshmen study "The Life of Christ" so that they may be familiar with the words and works of history's most significant personality. Sophomores take a course in the history of the Apostolic Age, and the juniors study Old Testament history. The senior Bible course, called 'The Philosophy of the Christian Religion," presents to the

student the basic concepts of the historic Christian faith. Here the doctrines of Revelation, God, Man and Sin, the Person and Work of Christ, the Holy Spirit and the Doctrine of the Last Things are pursued.

In addition to the basic, required courses, certain elective courses are offered in the Department of Bible. These include such studies as "Our Protestant Heritage," "Principles of Re-ligious Education," and the "History of the Bible." The de-partment, at present in the process of expansion, is planning additional courses, some of which will appea r in the college curriculum next year.

The personnel of the Bible Department consists of the Reverend M. Eugene Osterhaven, college pastor and head of the Department of Bible, and the Reverend William B. Miller, both of whom received their training at Hope College, West-ern Theological Seminary and Princeton. In addition to these two, the services of Dr. Albertus Pieters and Dr. George A. Menninga of Western Seminary were secured. Early in the year, the Reverend Gordon J. Van Wyk lent his services to the department with the understanding that he be released as soon as travel to China, to which he had been appointed as a missionary, was possible. After two months he received notice that his ship was about to sail and so turned his classes over to his former mentors of Western Seminary.

DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS

A, LAMPEN

D. ZWEMER

New students a s well a s old seem to realize the vital im-portance of the knowledge of mathematics. The evidence of this realization can be seen by the t remendous increase in the enrollment in this department . In the past, society regarded mathematics as a subject of abstractions and formalities a n d studied as a pure abstract science separa ted from its natural setting. Challenged by this association on the part of the a v e r a g e man, mathematics so altered itself until the subject is what it is today—a dynamic and functional field. Now mathematics a re viewed, not only as a body of rules, formulas, tables, graphs, a n d principles to be learned, but a s a language , a method of thinking, a n d a medium through which social and economic institutions in this our world can be better understood.

Hope College has a lways been proud of the many fine mathematicians who have been g radua ted from the school. Into many a n d varied fields the g radua tes have gone to do significant a n d vital v/ork—thus proving that their training has been of the best.

Time was, during the war, that the ave rage mathematics class was composed of more women than men. However, with the return of the servicemen, one finds the situation has changed considerably—the majors in this field a re pre-dominately of the male species.

Greater emphasis w a s placed on beginning mathematic courses because of the t remendous enrollment of students who had never before taken mathematics and wished to explore this field, and because of those who are taking refresher courses. Initiating these students into the fundamental opera-tions of mathematics a re Mr. Folkert, a g radua te of the Uni-versity of Michigan. Assisting Mr. Folkert is Mr. Steketee, also a g radua te of the University of Michigan. These two men have been very successful in aiding the students toward getting a substantial background for more advanced work.

After mastering the basic principles of mathematics, a student of this department passes into the capab le hands of Mr. Lampen, who is also head of the department.

HISTORY, ECONOMICS, PHILOSOPHY

W. VAN SAUN Philosophy

M. ROSS History

The world is constantly in the process of making history, and economics and philosophy are vitally concerned with the out-come of these historical episodes.

Hope College, too, is concerned with the passing events and so our History Department in an endeavor to keep posted sponsors the International Relations Club with Miss Ross as advisor. In the classroom Miss Ross keeps the students vitally interested in current happenings by being well-posted herself. Her wealth of experience and knowledge challenge the stu-dents to greater research and study.

Professors Vander Bush and Hinga give to the student currently interested in history their sympathy and understand-ing of people and their relations socially, politically, eco-nomically and psychologically. History is related to the students' everyday lives through the philosophy of Mr. Hinga, especially where it concerns marriage. He inevitably tells each class that marriage indeed can be successful on a 60-40 basis; women 60, men 40. Professor Vander Bush in his precise and thorough manner of teaching history, integrates the stu-dents' life to the full.

From the study of economics the students on the campus learn how to budget not only their money, but the money of the nations. Business, finance, and law are vitally essential to the person entering the business world, and Dr. Yntema and Professor Horner give to these prospective financial czars the thorough knowledge of all those details. College graduates of high caliber who are thorough in their knowledge of busi-ness are desperately needed in our confused world. Judge Smith from the city of Holland aids the students in their dis-covery of right and wrong and how to deal honestly and justly in all cases which come under their consideration.

The philosophy department is headed by Dr. Walter Van Saun. This department is chiefly concerned with the various forms of philosophy or theistic beliefs of the peoples of the world. Dr. Van Saun does not leave one to discover which philosophy is best, he points out the errors and the good in each and reveals the Christian Philosophy, for which Hope College stands is the right philosophy.

PSYCHOLOGY, EDUCATION

H. HAVERKAMP Psychology

G. VANDER BORGH Educat ion

MRS, H, SCHOON Education

Contrary to public opinion the student of Psychology does not begin immediately a psycho-analysis of his neighbor in the classroom. Instead, the General Psychology course, of-fered to Sophomore students, is chiefly concerned with normal adult human psychology, and is intended as a series of funda-mental studies preparatory to more advanced study in the main and subsidiary branches of this science. An Experi-mental Psychology course, consisting of laboratory experiments which may parallel the General Psychology course is also offered.

Juniors interested in delving further into psychology and its branches are offered a course in the Social aspect, a study of the psychology of group movements, of man's social nature and of its expression under social control. Mental Hygiene, a survey course dealing with psycho-pathological phenomena of personality and the history of the mental hygiene movement is also offered. An Applied Psychology course, consisting of a study in the application of psychological principles to the various fields of human endeavor, such as, salesmanship, ad-vertising, medicine, law, and teaching is offered to seniors. Professor Harold Haverkamp is the Psychology instructor.

The courses offered in the Department of Education are intended especially to prepare teachers for the elementary grades and secondary schools. All practice teaching is done in the city schools, both for elementary and secondary training, under efficient critic supervision. Special efforts a re put forth by the Placement Committee to secure positions for graduates who have special aptitude for teaching.

Introductory courses in Elementary Public School Music Methods, Geography, Art and the History of Education and Philosophy of Education are offered. In the latter course attention is given to those historical agencies and factors which have influenced the educational progress of the various peoples. Emphasis is laid upon the aims, methods, content, organization and resulst.

Advanced courses such as The American Secondary Public School, the Elementary School Curriculum, Teaching of Read-ing in the Elementary School are offered.

Prof. Haverkamp discusses Frustration.

SPEECH, CLASSICS

The Department of Speech at Hope College is probably more widely known outside the college than any other de-partment. Active participation in state and national contests in oratory, declamation, and extemperaneous speaking with high ratings in all have given this department high standing throughout the country.

Freshmen students are required to take Fundamentals of Speech, which is the theory and practice of public speaking, with major emphasis upon delivery and bodily action, and the attainment of the objectives of confidence and contact. Intended as a logical continuation of Fundamentals is Public Speaking, where continued stress is m a d e upon delivery with major emphasis upon voice control, and also introduction to the fields of interpretation, speech composition, deba te and group discussion. Argumentation and Debate, another second year course, studies the underlying principles of debat ing and argumentation. Classroom deba tes upon current topics are stressed, a s well as briefing, and the techniques of securing conviction. Interpretative Reading, a n d Scripture Reading are both popular courses, with emphasis on the preparation of programs for public delivery. The course in Scripture Read-ing is designed to develop increased appreciation of the Bible through oral reading, a n d to promote effective public reading of the Bible.

Community Drama, Dramatic Production, Stagecraft, Acting, and Radio Acting have become increasingly popular the past year with the arrival of Prof. Avison. Several Dramatic pro-ductions were accomplished, including the staging of the play, scenery, costumes, lighting, properties, make-up, etc. The Radio Acting class, which provides studio practice in the per-formance of radio plays was given a stimulant with the arrival of recording equipment. For advance students Ad-vanced Play Directing is given, a s well a s Radio Directing.

Dr. E. Dimnent, former college president, who has instructed classes in all the Sciences, this year assumed the professorship of Classical Civilization. This course emphasized the rise of Constitutions and Constitutional governments. Main sources for classroom work were Aristotle's "Politics" and Plato's "'The Republic".

Graduation

Four happy, carefree, ye^ hard working years have passed, and the time has come for us to say goodbye to our dear Alma Mater. Graduation, a thing we have strived for, has now arrived, and we approach it looking to the future, to see what it holds for us.

Behind we leave our many friends, scenes that have become familiar and memories that remain engraved under the classification of "The Best Time of Our Lives". Four years a g o we started this chapter in the novel of our life, and this great event writes the final p a g e of the adventure, which marks us as mature citizens, and places us on the long a n d ever growing list of "Gradu-ates of Hope".

We give thanks to all those, our teachers and coun-selors, for all the help they gave in assisting us through the hazards and pitfalls along the way. We leave all to meet new situations, encounter new friends, and try to find our place in the workings of the machine of civilization.

Farewell address—Time-honored symbol of graduat ion.

Walk ing for the last time together in the tradit ional c a p a n d gown.

The da i sy chain flanks the ca rpe t ed walk up to the queen ' s throne

May day! The grandest gala event of the year! The climax of all events save graduation for the seniors. In honor of this festive, frolicsome occasion, school adjourns in the middle of the morning. After the cancellation of curricular activities, every-one gathers at the athletic field for sport competition between members of both the fairer and stronger sex. High jumping, broad jumping, and other track activities are rewarded by colorful prizes to the vic-tors. Baseball dominates as the ruling sport of the afternoon.

Twilight of coronation day finds the entire student body and faculty in the campus's beautiful pine grove eagerly awaiting the

commencing of the ceremonies. The trumpet sounds, and to the strains of martial music come the gorgeously gowned girls of the freshman class forming a resplendently arrayed daisy chain. An expectant hush falls over the spectators as the new Queen and her court a re chosen from the ranks of the Junior class. Following the pinning of new Alcor girls and selecting new Blue Key men for the senior honoraries to serve dur-ing the coming year, the royal party retires to the banquet hall. Highlighting the regal dinner are toasts to the successful and prosperous reign of Her Majesty by the representatives of the student body and faculty.

Student PubUcatio-Hl • i

Page 93: Milestone 1947

hjuru

At the present time, two student literary publications a re maintained bv the colleae, the ANCHOR and the MILESTONE, the for-mer being a bi-monthly newspaper and the latter the college year book. The ANCHOR has as its function the job of keeping the students, faculty, friends and alumni of the school informed of its activities and ac-complishments. The MILESTONE is pub-lished annual ly and seeks to present a his-tory of the college year at Hopie. Together they provide a means of offering practical experience a n d training in literary expres-sion, journalism, advertising, business man-agement , photography a n d the other skills involved in their publication.

The ANCHOR staff is composed of those students who a re interested in receiving training and doing work in the field of journalism. It is headed by an editor-in-chief who is assisted by a number of associate and departmental editors and a business manager . Each year the associate editors are nominated by the Publications Committee of the college after key staff per-

sonnel have been consulted. From those nominated, the number desired to assist the editor a re elected by the student body. It is from these that the editor for the follow-ing year is chosen. The choice is made by the Committee on Publications and is made on the basis of the work done throughout the year and an issue of the ANCHOR that each puts out in competition with the other. Unlike the ANCHOR, the MILESTONE is not an all-college project. Rather, it is a publi-cation of the Junior class. Thus, its editor is elected by that group during the latter part of their sophomore year. The election is made from a number of students chosen by a class nominating committee. When elected, the editor is assisted by volunteers from members of the class.

Both publications hold membership in the Associated Collegiate Press, which conducts a critical service for all member publica-tions, in addition to providing them with aids designed to improve the papers and yearbooks concerned. Consistently, each have received First Class ratings from this organization.

This year the Student Council, under the leadership of President Robert Van Dis, was faced with a greater challenge than ever before in the history of Hope College—that of keeping a student body of almost 1200 students interested, active and informed.

The first all-college function of the year was the Freshman Mixer which was a stimu-lating display of enthusiasm and pep. On that eventful occasion the class of '50 re-ceived their long anticipated "green".

The Homecoming Committee of the Stu-dent Council really surmounted difficulties

of the times by planning one of the biggest and best weekends in Hope history. Be-ginning with the pull on Friday afternoon, proceedings included the parade of floats on Friday night and a buffet supper and open house after a victorious football game.

The "frosh" reached the climax of their year at the Burning of the Green in Novem-ber after a program prepared by the sorori-ties, fraternities and classes ended in the presentation of final freshman penalties in Carnegie Gym.

DESTINY OF HOPE'S STUDENTS The Nykerk Cup Contest, a traditional

yearly program of feminine rivalry, was successfully organized under the direction of Louise Ter Beek just before Thanksgiving. Then, in cooperation with WAL, the Student Council presented an all-college Christmas Party.

Dutch Treat Week was a new experience for many, and just a s much fun for those a l ready orientated into the proceedings. Apparently the student body w a s full of pep after a restful Christmas vacation!

Throughout the year the Council en-deavored to activate a n d maintain student

interest and enthusiasm through the or-ganization of a cheerleading squad cap-tained by Don Scholten, who planned pep meetings before our i m p o r t a n t pigskin fracases. Assemblies for the entire student body were also included in the program of the year.

A new type of activity was undertaken by the organization by the appointment of four members to represent the Council, and in turn the student body, on the Student-Faculty Committee. The members of such committee met periodically to discuss prob-lems of mutual interest in an effort to better integrate administrative and student ideas.

W. A. L. LEADS IN COLLEGE FUNCTIONS Nearly every co-ed is a member of what

is known as probably the most democratic set-up on the campus—the Women's Ac-tivities League.

Each member on the Board has a certain duty requiring hard work, iniative, and in-genuity. One must have charge of the main project of the year; one must plan the May Day festivities; others plan the various teas and parties.

W.A.L. b e g a n a busy year by entertaining all new co-eds in Voorhees living room by the Orientation Tea. This annual affair af-forded new girls an opportunity to become acquainted with other girls and the women of the faculty.

The Christmas party, a W.A.L, project, was held in Carnegie Gymnasium and was strictly a formal affair.

The loud burst of riotous laughter came from the gym where the All-Girls party was held. The girls a n d the faculty women tried to out-do each other in their costumes. The costumes ranged from a harem to a couple of painters. This affair is where Hope's

co-eds show their cleverest ideas in costum-ing. But this year the fun did not end at the party. Dorm girls had the town girls as their guests for the night, and as for sleepl?

Not only does W.A.L. plan the festivities on the campus, but it is also active in money-making projects. The Penny Carni-val was the money-making project this year. Each sorority and each fraternity had a par-ticular booth for which they were responsi-ble. Ping-pong, Bing-o, fish ponds, taraet practice, and telegrams were a few of this evening's activities. The proceeds this year were sent to Saraspatak, our Sister College in Hungary. This activity was also spon-sored last year and throughout the year the faculty and students received letters in ap-preciation for the gifts.

The final event of the W.A.L. calendar was the May Day festivities. The campus queen was crowned and the various classes took part in sports events and the day wound up with a formal banquet .

Certainly all Hope College co-eds will join in a vote of thanks to W.A.L for the good times had this year.

Help Build Ta lmadge" w a s a YM project that met with much favor.

The Y.M.C.A. began a busy year in conjunction with the Y.W.C.A. in sponsoring the annual beach party for new students.

Working in harmony the cabinets threw their energies into the annual Mission Drive, staging a campaign to raise funds to aid students in China. Lois Van Wyk and Robert Schuller were in charge of this important project.

An inspirational Prayer Week was carried out in February with Dr. Ray-mond Lindquist of Orange, New Jersey, as the guest speaker. Each morning in the chapel Dr. Lindquist brought inspirational messages to the student body. Opportunities were also made possible for personal interviews with him.

Exceptionally fine speakers were procured for the weekly "Y" meetings and a good at tendance rewarded the efforts of those in charge.

Joint meetings with the Y.W.C.A. were enjoyable as well as inspirational.

All the activities of the year united to form an effective element in helping to "Make Christ King of Hope's Campus".

A night of s inging at the weekly YW meeting.

Before the busy fall days on campus have actually begun, the Y.W. is mak-ing friends of all registered freshmen through the Big Sister letters. Once on campus these new additions to Hope are made to feel at home through these same Big Sisters.

The opening week of school w a s a busy one and the Y-Fore kept everyone posted on the events. The first event was the annual beach party for all new students and cabinet members. Lasting friendships were begun here.

In November, Talmadge College was the talk of all conversation as the Y's sponsored the annual Mission Drive with a result of $2000 for this college in China.

Perhaps the greatest week on Hope's campus is the Religious Emphasis Week sponsored co-jointly by the Y.W. and Y.M. This year Dr. Raymond Lindquist from Orange, New Jersey, acted as leader. His inspiring messages will linger long in the hearts of the students.

When strains of "O Divine Redeemer", "Gloria", or "Make Believe" echo from the chapel auditorium, it's the Tuesday or Thursday rehearsal of the Women's Glee Club. Practices for participation in programs for churches, clubs, and school meetings are a large part of their activities. This year they also made a special national broadcast to honor the Netherlands at the United Nations' Assembly by singing in Dutch.

Every now and then an informal meeting at the home of Mrs. Snow takes precedence. Familiar tales of last year 's trip through the East dominate the con-versation of our parties bringing back happy memories for those once-weary travelers and inspiring the "in-experienced" for next year 's big event.

The climax of the 1946-47 year 's activities was the Spring concert in April.

After being inactive for three years, the Men's Glee Club is another one of the organizations on Hope's campus that is functioning again. The personnel con-sists of thirty-two picked vocalists, twenty-two of whom are veterans, including the group's very capable di-rector, Prof. Cavanaugh . To him goes much of the credit for the rejuvenation and success of the or-ganization.

The members worked industriously with their musical selections so that they were well prepared for an intensive eastern tour during the spring. This event was the climax of the singing season.

The men sing sacred music, of which "Ecce, Quomo-do moritur" is an example, as well as secular pieces such as "Auf Wiedersehn."

Roger Rietberg, accompanist, gained the respect of all the men for the effective way in which his piano embellished their selections.

REGISTRATION DAY Potential Students

Registration has a lways been a time of excitement at Hope and this year has proved to be no exception. The nearly block-long lines waiting to get into Graves, the freshmen asking directions, and upperclassmen greeting other upperclassmen, some of whom they had not seen in three years, created an interesting con-fusion on Hope's campus this year.

Perhaps selecting a schedule is one of the most dif-ficult parts of registration, for it is at this time that a student, in some respects, takes a step that will decide the entire course of his life. But all is not seriousness where registration is concerned. Teas, beach parties, and meeting old and making new friendships, some of which will last for life, take care of the lighter side of the occasion.

Sure an 'tis the wear ing o' the green, but St. Patrick didn't yell "Pot Frosh". The freshman is made to feel his lowly position by bowing to the upper classmen and any sophomore who can bluff his w a y through. Of course, the position of the violators is made more lowly by performing their antics in hourly visitations to the fire escapes of Van Raalte.

The happy day arrives when the frosh, thoroughly initiated, become full fledged members of the campus. The green pots that have become part of them are tossed into the bonfire on the athletic field. Strange as it may seem, we love our pots and many is the pot found gracing an upper classman's room, or found tucked between the pages of a scrap book for a souvenir.

HOMECOMING WEEK-On Friday, October 25th, Homecoming was of-

iicially opened with the FROSH-SOPH pull across Black River. Approximately one thousand students, faculty members, alumni and interested spectators lined the opposite banks of the river to view the tra-ditional annual Pull between the Frosh team, which was coached by Junior Con Vander Woude, and the Soph team tutelaged by Senior A1 De Voogd.

Although the Soph team was predicted "the under-dog" because of the vast numerical advantage of the Frosh team, after much hard and steady pulling, the Frosh team SUBmerged as the Soph team Emerged victorious. Thus the humble Freshmen paid with bows and curtsies to the Sophomores as well as the Upper-classmen.

At seven-thirty o'clock on the same night, crowds of spectators and Hope College students ambled to Main Street to witness the Homecoming Parade. Each sorority and fraternity entered a float; Queen Myra and her court also appeared. The reactivated band of Hope made its debut at this time under the direction of Mr. Kisinger of Holland High School. Dressed in orange and blue, with batons twirling, majorettes strutting, and instruments playing, the Band made a colorful spectacle as it marched down Eighth Street. The pa rade continued down Main Street to Columbia Avenue and finally arrived at Hope College Practice Field. Here a huge bon-fire warmly crackled its greet-ing to all to join in the Pep Rally prior to the Hope-Alma football game. At this time the Coach and team were introduced and the announcement was made of the winning float, FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS, en-tered by the Sibylline society.

With songs and cheers, the Hopeites issued forth the Homecoming spirit, which played such a major role in

the weekend activities. Then off to rest, for the earlv morning brought forth the nine o'clock Thesaurian Breakfast in their sorority room, followed by the Emer-sonian Breakfast in the Marine Room of the Tavern. The Sibyllines held a ten-thirty Brunch at the Dutch

, Mill, while Luncheons ranging from eleven-thirty to twelve-thirty were a t tended by the Delphis in the lobby of the Warm Friend Tavern, the Dorians at the Dutch Mill, and finally the Sorosites in the Tulip Room of the Tavern.

With flowers and streamers, six thousand Hopeites, alumni and guests appea red at Riverview Park at two o'clock that afternoon to watch the Hope Dutchmen gain a 24-0 victory over the Alma Scots in the comfort of a golden Indian-summer day. During the half-time of the game, Don Scholten, Chairman of the half-time program, presented Queen Myra Brouwer who wel-comed the alumni back to Hope. The b a n d finaled the half-time program by forming an ANCHOR while playing the school song, forming the letters AL for Coach A1 Vanden Bush as they played "For He's A Jolly Good Fellow", an A for Alma and an H for Hope.

The announcement that the winning House Decora-tion was won by the "T Barracks' Bugs Bunny was echoed throughout the audience. Following this vic-torious game, all went to view the House Decorations

• and chat with old friends.

From six to eight o'clock, a Buffet Supper was held in Temple Dining Hall, followed by Open House in Van Raalte Hall, and the dormitories a n d barracks. And thus the 1946 Homecoming festivities successfully came to a grand and glorious close under the Home-coming Committee headed by G a b b y Van Dis, and composed of Betty Van Lente, Alfy Vander Waa, and Betty Christie.

WINTER CONCERTS The first musician to appear in the winter concert

series on November 5th was Samuel Dushkin, a Rus-sian violinist. Born in Russia, but now an American citizen, Samuel Dushkin began his concert career at the age of six. He studied under Kreisler, Remy, and Aver and traveled extensively throughout Europe and America. He is a master of the classics as well as an interpreter of the foremost modern works. He has worked with outstanding contemporary composers, such as Ravel and Stravinsky. Mr. Dushkin has played in all the important European capitals both with orchestra and in recitals. He first appeared in this country with the New York Symphony Orchestra. He appeared also with the Boston Symphony under Koussevitsky and the Philadelphia Orchestra under Stokowski.

Mr. Rudolph Ganz, director of the Grand Rapids Symphony, presented a lecture demonstration on the evolution of music and piano recital for Hope students and faculty, March 13. Rudolph Ganz is a pianist, conductor, and composer and has made extensive tours in Europe and America. He was conductor of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, president of the Chicago Musical School, and is now the director of the Grand Rapids Symphony.

The Opollo Boys' Choir, one of America's most out-standing boys' choirs, made its appearance in the Hope Memorial Chapel in April. The Choir was founded by its director, Coleman Cooper, in 1935. Lads forming the Choir range in age from nine to fourteen years. During the past six years the Choir has made over 400 appearances including two per-formances for the late President and Mrs. Roosevelt, two recitals in New York's Town Hall, participation in the Bach Festival at Winter Park, Florida, several con-certs with symphony orchestras, and broadcasts over the major networks.

WINTER PARTIES

Hope men wasted no time discarding the u n i f o r m and putting on the fancy dress for the parties on campus this winter. Fancy pin-stripes, loud ties, plenty of polish combined with the sharpest of creations in female attire to give every

formal affair that magic touch. Soft music, low lights, ga la decorations, thick sirloins, pun-gent lotions, dreamy perfume, fraternity pins and sparkling diamonds — these and many more, the memories of a suc-cessful party season.

SPRING ARRIVES

The bright green of spring emerges from the drab grey of winter with a burst of new and different activities on Hope's campus. With the arrival of the energizing time of the year, the appearance of the campus changes as if by magic. Everything takes on a new hue, and it is as if new life has been instilled into every nook and corner. Let us look then at some of the signs that mark this change of seasons at Hope.

One of the first signs of this metamorphose can be seen in the preparation for the spring sports. It is said that in spring a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of sports, and by the looks of the athletic field on a warm sparkling afternoon, one can see the truth in this state-ment. But we can see that this is not all the boys' thoughts turn to in this pre-summer season, for while the fellows spend their time practicing for baseball,

There was one sign of spring this year which hasn't been found on Hope's campus for a few years. This was the All College Sing which has not been held since 1942. This beautiful musical contest between the fraternities and sororities a d d e d a bright touch to the campus.

Then as the days grow warmer, and the students be-come restless, a sure sign of changing seasons can be seen in the premature visits to the beach where a few of the luckier individuals acquire a beautiful tan even before summer makes its appearance .

Before springtime bows out of the scene making way for summer, the exciting festive event of May Day takes place with its coronation ceremonies, followed by the ful-fillment of a senior's dream—graduat ion and the thrill of commencement.

PI KAPPA DELTA Although on many college campuses the

national forensic fraternity has had to dissolve temporarily because of lack of membership, Hope has been able to maintain this organiza-tion throughout the war. Upper class mem-bers of our forensic teams are eligible for membership in this honorary fraternity.

For the purpose of acquainting new students with the opportunities on our campus for speech activities. Pi Kappa Delta, in the early part of each school year, sponsors a speech rally to which all interested students are in-vited. Members of the organization explain to newcomers the various activities available for participation — oratory, debate, extem-poraneous speaking and other types of public speaking, and evaluate the benefits to be gained from these activities. Also at this time new students may indicate in which field or fields of speech work they choose to partici-pate.

April is the month for initiation of new members and election of officers into the Michigan Gamma Chapter of Pi Kappa Delta. Competently leading the group this year was president Joanne Decker assisted by Luella Pyle as vice-president and Jean Watson as secretary-treasurer.

With the doubling of enrollment this year a growth of interest in debate and oratory is evident, and Pi Kappa Delta is looking forward to again attaining the enviable record secured and established for Hope by its members in the past.

DEBATE TEAM There are some people who do a great deal

of talking yet they say nothing—not so with the Hope Debaters. They not only have some-thing to say but know how to say it in a winning manner. These deba te teams have heatedly a n d repeatedly proved themselves a well articulated group worthy of admiration.

"Resolved that"—was the by-word heard by numerous local organizations in which the deba te squads participated in line with a new policy of the speech department uniting "Town with Gown." This new type of program not only received encouraging responses from the local audiences but also allowed the members of the squads to gain valuable experience for inter-collegiate meets. Proficiency of the team w a s also increased by practice sessions with Dr. Schrier and informal discussions among themselves concerning practical problems and their solutions.

On February 6, Hope played host to Calvin College at a practice session and on February 13 journeyed to Kalamazoo for another prac-tice meet at the invitation of Kalamazoo Col-lege. These preliminary meets a re traditional before traveling to Michigan State College for the State Tournament. This State Tournament has a lways been the highlight of the year s work for all college debaters. As only six of this year 's debaters h a d h a d previous ex-perience in college debate , this annual con-clave did not hold the usual numerous winning decisions for Hope. However, for the new de-baters, the value of a t tendance at this affair should prove itself in future competition. J. Decker's P leas ing Plea.

Today this organization of ambitious girls continues its important function of attempting to eliminate the debts incurred in the year's course in athletic functions. These are the girls who sell popcorn, candy and the ever-popular peanuts and gum at the football and basketball games. Proceeds go for new equip-ment for the athletic groups on campus.

Each spring the girls have a dinner at which the new members are chosen. The capable officers for this year are: President, Betty Tim-mer; Vice-president, Barbara Bilkert; and Sec-retary-treasurer, Vada Mae Efird.

GALS LEADERS IN SPORTS

"Do you hear the cheering from Carnegie Gym on Tuesday nights after 'Y'?" Well, that 's the girls' basket-ball teams having a good time. This is just one of the activities the W.A.A. sponsors on Hope's Campus for all athletically minded co-eds.

From autumn when horseback riding and hiking a re favorite sports, through the winter months when volley ball, basket-ball a n d bowling take the preference, to the balmy days of spring, which calls for tennis, archery and bike hikes, one will find the Hope co-eds good sports enthusiasts.

W.A.A. also sponsors the girls track meet which is held May Day morning. And during the spring days soft ball aids in promoting good sportsmanship and fun for the girls.

Hope's W.A.A. belongs to the women's di-vision of the M.I.A.A. and participates in play days and tennis tournaments sponsored by this group.

Kappa Delta—"Servants of Christ". Upon graduation from Hope, the girls banded to-gether under this banner of Kappa Delta will serve the church as either full or part-time workers.

Kappa Delta was organized this year to enable all girls interested in Christian serv-ice to acquaint themselves with the oppor-tunities and problems of a Christian worker. The meetings consist of devotions led by the members and a talk by various women who are now active in some field of Christian service. Several of the fields of service dis-

cussed were: Directors of Religious Educa-tion by Mrs. Edith Walvoord; Kentucky Missions by Miss Reeverts; the problems of the migrant by Mrs. William Bennett; The Indian Mission by Mrs. James Vos and the work of a missionary in China presented by Miss Geraldine Smies.

This year Kappa Delta has contributed to the support of a girl in the Annville Institute in Kentucky. At Christmas time the girls of Kappa Delta sent gifts to the students at this mission. Each year a project in a different field will be chosen.

Mad chemists! Bunsen burners! Weird odors and sights! If you expect to find these things when you visit a meeting of the Chemistry Club you will be sadly disap-pointed. Instead, you will see a group of your own friends eagerly discussing any subject in the field of chemistry in this world of atomic a g e with the same vigor and enthusiasm they have for the latest news or basketball. This variability in the subjects chosen for deliberation has proved its worth by the fact that it helps many of those interested in the field of chemistry find just what facet of the subject is of par-ticular interest and value to them. It also broadens their knowledge and scientific

interest and gives them an idea into what phase of chemistry they would be most likely to succeed. Many members after graduat ing from Hope have been placed in positions of great importance and promi-nence in commercial industry. Other mem-bers have received scholarships, honors, and assistantships at leading universities and gradua te schools.

This group of pre-professional chemists delves into contemporary scientific problems and experimentation through the medium of research papers and informal discussions.

The Modern Language Club is a new or-ganization on Hope's campus. It is com-posed of what were formerly three separate clubs: Spanish, German, and French.

Each month the club meets with one language group in charge of the program. Usually the meeting opens with the singing of songs in the various languages. Then follows a program which may be a movie, a travelogue, or discussions of customs in the different countries represented. After the program, the language groups divide to hold their own business meetings.

Each year the president is chosen from a different language group. The advisors for

the organization are Miss Boyd, Mrs. Prins, Miss Meyer, Miss Lichty, and Mr. Schoon.

The officers of Le Cercle Francois are: President, Phyllis Voss; Vice-President, Doris Opie; Secretary-Treasurer, Edith Herlein.

Officers for the Spanish Club are: Presi-dent, Harriet Muyskens; Vice-President, Rachel Dykstra; Secretary-Treasurer, Allen Valleau.

Officers for the German Club are: Presi-dent, Preston Stegenga; Vice-President, Phyllis Haskins; Secretary-Treasurer, Nellie Mae Ritsema.

CHESS CLUB One of the newly organized groups on

campus this year is the Hope College Chess Club. The members are firm believers in the adage , "All work a n d no play makes Jack a dull boy", and find that the playing of chess helps to round out the "play side" of their col-lege life. Since enjoyment of the game is the main objective, business meetings are kept at a minimum. Routine reading of the minutes is unheard of, a s is the jungle of paid dues in the treasury or the less desirable color of red in the treasurer 's book.

Most interesting has been the tournament. An onlooker noting the seriousness and pre-cision with which the opponents send forth their men to battle might wonder if the life of a king really were at stake, but it is all in fun— even the crocodile tears which are shed over the loss of a queen.

The Club is appreciative of the work of its faithful advisor, Mr. Vander Borgh, and is looking forward to many more successful years under his leadership and direction.

In the 1946-47 Pallette and Masque dramatic season, much was done to strengthen the organization. Since the ultimate objective of this group is to join a national dramatic fraternity, a great number of changes had to be made in the club's files and records. Rules had to be established for a minimum of accomplishments that each student would have to attain before becoming an active member.

Under the active surveillance of capable Edward Avison of the Speech Department, four one-act plays and one three-act play have been given this year. Mr. Avison himself directed the three-act and two of the

one-act performances. Sunny Donohue was in charge of one production, and Betty Timmer and Russel Hor-ton competently supervised the other. Anne Vander Veer, the Club's president, was very pleased with the results of this year's work. She attributes much of the success to the increasing number of students on campus who are interested in dramatics. Pallette and Masque is now established more firmly than ever before with a definite goal for which to work. This season could best be called the foundation—the strong foundation from which all future Hope College dra-matic work will arise.

President A. Dykstra a n d Facul ty Advisor Dr. Van Saun.

Following an absence of several years, the Philos-ophy Club was reorganized on Hope's campus during the fall of 1946. Membership in the organization was open to all students who had taken or were taking work in this field and were interested in increasing their knowledge of philosophy. Monthly meetings of the group provided opportunities for the presentation of papers dealing with various phases of philosophical thought and to participate in informal discussions on the origin, history and present status of the schools of philosophy considered. Among those discussed dur-ing the year were; Idealism, .Realism, Pragmatism and the philosophy of modern Russia.

The members of the Philosophy Club do not pretend to solve any of the many complex problems which man has pondered and studied throughout the ages of his history. Rather, through group and individual thought and reasoning, they seek to acguaint themselves with those problems and with the advances that man has made towards their solutions. In this way it is hoped that a greater appreciation for the philosophical ap-proach to the problems of life will be realized.

Dr. Walter Van Saun was the faculty advisor for the group and officers for the year were: Allen Dykstra, president, and Marian Dame, keeper of the archives.

ALPHA CHI Alpha Chi was organized in 1940 to provide a means

of mutual benefit and fellowship for those men on the campus who are preparing for missionary service or the ministry. This year its membership is the largest in its brief history, numbering more than sixty-five.

The name is composed of two Greek letters, signify-ing Angellos Christos, which means "Messengers of Christ."

Each meeting features a speaker, experienced in the ministry or in missionary work, who deals with some subject pertaining to Christian service.

This year a series was conducted, consisting of three divisions: the call to the ministry, preparation for that service, and the ministry itself. Dr. Simon Blocker opened with a talk on "The Call to the Christian Min-istry." There followed speakers who presented com-plete surrender to the call of God, missionary labors. Christian service during preparation, recreation and social relationships during preparation, pastoral coun-seling, sermon preparation and several other interest-ing and informative subjects.

The club aims to promote literary appreciat ion by de-veloping a better understanding of tech-niques, trends, and characteristic impres-sions of literature. The meetings give its members of like academic interests an op-portunity to explore fields of literary ex-

pression not ordinarily touched in English courses and provides for individual research and critical analysis through the realm of informal discussions.

Dr. De Graaf is the faculty advisor and, although all of the department faculty take an active part in the discussions, the stu-dents take complete responsibility in plan-ning and leading the programs.

CAMERA CLUB f

The Hope College Photo Club had its beginning in the Spring of '46, but not until last September was it officially incorporated as an organization. Many difficulties were encountered, not the least of which was the procurement of a darkroom. Most of the obstacles have been overcome now that the club is proudly occupying a fine darkroom on the third floor of the Science building.

Salon exhibits and contests will be forth-coming.

Ade Bos, Ted Flaherty, and Jack De Valois held down the jobs of President, Vice-President, and Secretary-Treasurer, re-spectively, this year.

Head Coach A. Vanderbush

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

In the season's opener, the Dutchmen con-clusively squelched any apprehensions as to their power. Entering the contest an untested force, battling an unknown enemy, the Orange and Blue ran roughshod over the hapless Ferris opposition, and emerged a triumphant power-laden aggregation. From the opening kick-off to the final gun, it was Hope all the way. Sparked by the flashy running of senior and acting captain Art Timmer, the locals capitalized on two breaks in the opening min-utes, and before ten minutes of the game had elapsed, Hope led 13-0, Scoring twice more in the first half, on a blocked kick and a 50 yard run by Bob Emery the Dutchmen led 26 to 0 at the close of the first half.

Bush substituted freely in the last half, and discovered capab le reserve strength on the bench which rounded his team into a well-knit unit with ex-perienced, capab le men three deep in each position. The regulars and re-serves combined to add two more scores in the final canto, while allow-ing the Ferris stalwarts a single score in the fourth quarter, making the final tally, 38-6.

The following Friday night, Septem-ber 27th, the Dutch eleven entertained the highly touted Britons of Albion College, and in perhaps their best g a m e of the year completely outclassed their fighting rivals in a lopsided 26-0 victory. The Dutch attack was aga in led by Timmer who scored two quick touchdowns in the early stages of the game, which were followed by a touchdown pass from left halfback, Dick Higgs to Nick Yonker, and cli-maxed by a thrilling 43 yard dash by "Gabby" Van Dis in his first role as a Hope ball carrier.

HOPE STOPPED

Facing one of the best defensive teams of the season, the Orange and Biue were hard-pressed to conquer the persistent forces of Michigan Normal College. In a hotly con-tested first quarter, the ball remained at mid-field as the two forward walls battled furiously, completely bottling up the ball carriers. In the second stanza, however, the Hope crew dem-

onstrated what a great and versatile team they really were as they took to the air for two quick tallies to forge into a 13 point lead which they never relinquished.

Traveling to the nearby furniture city on October 10th, the Dutch invaded Grand Rapids Junior College and emerged victors from a spiritless game in which the undermanned Junior team succeeded in holding the potent attack of the visiting Hollanders to 6 points un-til the fourth quarter, when a pair of passes, Yonker to Kraai, and DeVette to Buter, placed Hope on top of a 20-0 score.

As guests of the Kalamazoo Hornets in the dedication of their memorial stadium, Angell Field, the Hope gridsters went down to a de-cisive defeat, 13-0. Displaying a style of ball far below their early season form, the Dutch were humiliated by an inspired Kazoo squad, playing before their homecoming crowd.

ing as time after time they opened gaping holes in the Scots defense, allowing the backs led by Emery and Van Dis to roll up the score to an eventful 24-0 victory.

Playing on the rain-soaked field of Island Park in Adrian, the Hope squad overcame stubborn defensive tactics, and the slippery footing, by scoring three touchdowns via the aerial route with passes by De Vette and Yonker giving the Dutch forces a 19-0 win.

The host of Hope rooters who traveled to Hillsdale on November 9th, were treated to a brand of bruising, aggressive football, seldom seen in the school's history, as the Dutchmen and the Dales battled for the conference championship. Nick Yonker, with a quar-terback sneak, and a long pass to DeMull gave Hope her first two touchdowns, and

Kraai climaxed a long drive with a quick-opening play into the enemy end zone aiving the Dutchmen a 20-14 lead as the game drew to a close. However, a last-minute pass by the league's most valuable player. Bill Young, tied the score, and a perfect goal splitting con-version gave the Dales a well-fought 21-20 victory.

BASKETBALL

M. L. Hinga, Coach

The fast breaking Dutch cagers thundered through a great season, amassing a total of 679 points to 461 for the opposition, as they emerged victors in 16 of their 20 aruelling en-gagements. Paced by the league's most valuable player, Russ De Vette, together with Don Mulder and "Gabby" Van Dis, who both received berths on the mythical all conference team, Hope established itself as the top squad of the strong M1AA conference, and a leading power in state cage circles.

Facing a wealth of material in the early practices. Coach Hinga soon narrowed his Varsity down to workable size, and prepared for the opening game with the soldiers of Percy Jones Hospital. Traveling to Fort Custer on Dec. 3, the Orange and Blue initiated the season as they rolled up an impressive 74-41 win over their hapless opponents.

The next four games proved to be breathers, as the high flying Dutchmen defeated Grand Rapids Junior College in two encounters, 62-34 and 53-39, gained a 69-33 decision over a strong Michigan Normal crew, and led by De Vette with 25 points began their conference conquests by overpowering Adrian, 68-42. The following week on Jan. 2, however, the Dutch went down to a 76-60 defeat at the hands of a star studded aggregation from Western Michi-gan, but it was only in the last minutes of play

Facing the league's top two contenders, the Orange and Blue re-newed their winning ways with victories over Albion and Kalamazoo, but in a return battle with Western Michigan at the celery city, the Broncos again proved too much for the Hope cagers, as they ran up a tally of 84-60.

Following a 65-54 defeat of the Alma Scot the Hope squad regained their early seasc accuracy and in their best game oi the seasc humbled Albion, the conference runner-up t a score of 83-46. The starting line-up: Bute Scholten, Mulder, De Vette and Van Dis, c well as the reserves scored at will from c angles to administer the fighting Britons the season's worst defeat.

The Dutchmen waltzed through their ne; four games with Michigan Normal, Calvi: Hillsdale, and Adrian, establishing a seasc. record with 89 points against Adrian, and aj proached the decisive Kalamazoo College coi test with few misgivings. The wily Hornet however, caught the Dutch unawares, and th final gun found Hope on the short end of 51-45 score.

BASEBALL The arrival of the first spring breezes of '46

marked the renewal of Hope College's base-ball competition, as veteran coach, Jack Schouten organized the first Dutch team in many years. Gathering a group of men re-cently returned to the campus from the armed service, he worked and molded them into a

powerful and aggressive ball club. Opening the season against the Calvin Knights, the Dutch proved themselves a winning aggrega-tion, as they backed up the fine pitching of Van Liere with a bar rage of hits netting a total of 12 runs while allowing the Knights a single lone tally in the latter stages of the game. Fol-

lowing this victory the Hope nine faced Aquinas, Calvin, and Grand Rapids Junior Col-lege on two occasions, with only a 3-3 tie with Junior to mar their victorious record.

As the season waned, however, the Orange and Blue, crippled by numerous injuries, and untimely errors, lost games to strong teams

from Western Michigan, Muskegon Junior Col-lege, and a greatly improved squad from Aquinas, finishing the season with a record of 4 wins, 3 losses, and a single tie.

The spring of '47 found the ranks of basebal l aspirants swelled with experienced players from the previous season, in addition to the

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

Hope's thinclad squad of 1946, al though boasting several outstanding performers, lacked the necessary team ba lance to afford it an impressive record. Win-ning its early meets against outside foes, the inex-perienced Orange and Blue team found most of their conference opponents a bit stronger in the overall sta-tistics, but the work of such stellar individuals as Don Lee in the half mile, Vern Kraai in the dashes, and Dell Koop with the discus, served to supply Hope with

sufficient points to make each meet a nip and tuck affair.

The annual winter meet of the M.I.A.A. indoor track season held in Jenison field, house in East Lansing initiated what seems to be an eventful season for the 1947 Hope thinclads. Lacking the proper facilities for indoor conditioning, the Dutch entered the meet with no practice, but even so made a creditable exhibition, garnering l?1/^ points to finish fourth in the standings.

149

Page 156: Milestone 1947

TRACK The Dutch attack was led by Ross who tied for first in the pole vault, and Kraai with a second in the 75 yard dash, while various other Hope speedsters contributed fourths and fifths in other events to complete the scoring.

As the weather cleared, and the men moved onto the outside track, prospects loomed brighter, as the various positions were filled and the team took on the semblance of a well stocked unit. Although weakened in many events by graduation and ineligibility, the

(Cont'd) enthusiasm and hard work of the replacements soon augmented the squad in fashion, and restored the lost power. Since the season is not complete at this writ-ing it would be extremely difficult to single out indi-viduals as exceptional performers, but as we go to press, the single meet, a decisive 74-57 defeat of the Calvin Knights, indicates that the strength of the team lies in the second and third place men, and these players should provide the necessary reserve punch to give Hope a successful season.

Far better than the win-loss sta-tistics indicate was the record of the '46 Golf team, composed of lalving, Ladewig, Hopkins, Timmer, Elhart, and P. Mulder. Renewing the competition, halted during the war, the sguad won two of its ten contests, but even in its defeats the Dutchmen played well and lost only by the narrowest of margins. As the Milestone goes to press, the '47 team has finished its first qualifying rounds, and the scores posted indicate a spirited rivalry for the varsity team. All lettermen of last spring have re-turned except Art Timmer, and these men, bolstered by several promis-ing returned servicemen, should give Coach Timmer plenty of material to turn out a winning combination.

Led by a quartet of returning lettermen. Jack Tirrell, "Gabby" Van Dis, Don Scholten, and John Ligtvoet, Hope's net squad appears to be a leading contender in the forthcoming M.l.A.A. race. Last year the Dutchmen battled through a tough season to emerge second only to the power laden aggregation from Kalamazoo College, who will reign as heavy favorites to repeat again this season, with Hope and Al-bion striving for second place honors. Hin-dered by cold, rainy, and generally inclement weather, the racketeers have had little chance to work into top shape, but before the pre-season practices are completed, Coach Hinga will have chosen from the host of talented aspirants, a select few for the remaining team positions. Opening their year with non-conference matches against Grand Rapids Junior College, Calvin, and Aquinas College, the Dutch should gain through experience the necessary power, poise and all-important team balance to allow them to sweep through con-ference opponents and the M.l.A.A. meet with a highly successful record.

INTRAMURALS / As the activities of the various fraternities

on campus were renewed the intramural pro-gram was met with new fervor and en-thusiasm; traditional rivalries long dormant reappeared , and all phases of the program were scenes of bitterly contested battles for athletic supremacy. Under the guiding hand of Jack Schouten, a committee composed of represenatives from each fraternity and an in-dependent member drew up plans for a bas-ketball, softball, and bowling competition.

The end of the Christmas recess marked the uneventful beginning of a basketball program destined to be as thrill-packed and hotly con-tested as any intercollegiate conference. Di-viding the teams into "A" and ' B" leagues, consisting of a team from each of the five fra-ternities, and one of independent organization, the committee set the s tage for some skillful a n d typically aggressive intramural action. As the season progressed the closely matched teams made it difficult to pick a favorite, but at the half way mark, the "A" league had narrowed to two strong teams, the Fraters

leading, and the Emmies a close and de-termined second, while in the "B" league, the style of play and undefeated record of the Prater Squad established them as strong favorites to capture the junior league crown. Holding true to their early form, the Frater "B" swept through the second round, again undefeated, to definitely establish itself as one of the contestants in the championship tilt. However, the "A" league title was far more difficult to determine. Entering the final game, in which a victory would give them the crown, the Frater "A" was edged out by an underdog independent five, throwing them into a two way tie with the Emmies. The playoff, for the "A" league title, was played as a benefit game for the Sarospatak mission drive, with a hair raising preliminary between the faculty and the senior members of the Varsity squad. The Fraters, leading throughout the first half, fell behind in the third quarter, as the Emmies rained points on the Frater basket; however, the final gun found the score knotted at 31-31. The three minute overtime soon decided the outcome, however, as the Emmies held their opponents scoreless while scoring three swift points leaving them on top of a 34 31 score.

The next night, the Emmies and Frater "Bs", again playing for the Saropatak fund, squared off in the championship battle. The high fly- Viv Dykema finds time for a g a m e of tennis.

ing Emmies caught the Fraters unawares , and scored 11 points before the Fraters could find the hoop, but from this point on the game be-came a m a d e to order thriller, a s the Frater five pulled up to their opponents and continued to exchange the lead, until the final whistle, when Don Ladewig lost his chance to either tie the score or forge into the lead, with two foul shots after the g a m e was officially over, and the Emmies reigned as intramural Champs, Leading the Emmie attack was Paul VanDort with 8 points, while Ken Weller also with 8 tallies was high for the losers.

Every Friday afternoon found the intramural keglers taking over the local bowling alleys, as they battled for top honors on the hard-woods, Again each fraternity and the inde-pendents were represented by two teams, al-though each week found one of the teams

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

Deadline da te for the Milestone finds a Soft-ball league in the process of organization. Operated on a plan similar to that of the Bas-ketball and Bowling, the twilight aames be-tween the various fraternity and independent teams should prove highly entertaining as well as a direct means toward the intramural goal of a vigorous and unified student body.

WOMEN'S ATHLETICS

Girls' Sports came into their own this year when Miss Louise Van Domelon was added to the faculty of Hope College as head of women's athletics. Miss Van Domelon is actively interested in all types of sports and brings to the campus her own vitality plus a shrewd technique for obtaining the best results in whatever game is being played.

Miss Van Domelon appeared on the scene just as the basketball tournament began. Games were played every Tuesday night after "Y" and presented much in the way of en-tertainment and relaxation. Women's rules governed the play with co-eds serving as referees, flavoring the activity with no small amount of variety.

Many mere-maids traveled to Grand Rapids during the winter months to take advantage of the Y.W.C.A. swimming pool. Jack Schouten usually accompanied these splash parties, adding to the fun with his personality stories.

Spring brought many of the co-eds out into the open for tennis. Practice sessions were held in Carnegie gymnasium before opening of the city courts. As soon as weather permitted play began outside, and a tournament was started. Competition for the regular team was par-ticularly keen because of the M.l.A.A. contests which were scheduled and every girl was anxious to make the trips. Their lirst journey was made to Kalamazoo where a meet with Western Michigan college was scheduled.

Also on the agenda for spring activities were the twilight softball games. Six teams made their way to the athletic field each week, and keen contests were the result, keen as only a women's game can be. Not uncommon was a gossip session in the outfield during lulls in the contest.

Unusual enthusiasm was shown in all sports during the fall, winter, and spring seasons. Ice-skating, tobogganing, and skiing were en-joyed longer than usual, while horse-back riding was delayed because of the long winter. However, the ponies were given more than their share of exercise during the final month of May.

Climax of all athletic contests was reached on May Day. Besides being a shining day for the lovelies on campus. May Day presented an opportunity for those with athletic prowess to show their might. Track events were held in the morning with classes competing against each other. Points were received by winners of the high jump, broad jump, 100 and 220 yard dash and other sprinting events. Later during the afternoon competition was available in the intra-class softball game. Highlight of the day was the playoff for the champion of the tennis tournament.

INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL The governing body of all fraternities on

Hope's Campus is the Inter-Fraternity Council. This ruling body is composed of two repre-sentatives from each of the five fraternities with Dean Milton Hinga acting as sponsor.

The purpose of the council is similar to the Congress of the United States in that the men of the council are representative of their fra-ternity and make the laws and regulations that govern the fraternities. Amona the numerous duties to be carried out are the rules regarding rushing, bidding and initiating. Party regulations are set up and grievances of various kinds are ironed out behind the doors of the council chamber. As the power of this body comes from the fraternities, the decisions handed down by the council are always ad-hered to by the fraternities.

The council, a compact, informal organiza-tion, is not interested in electing officers, since it was found that business could be ac-complished just as easily without the aid of parliamentary procedure. Dean Hinga acts as moderator and the discussions are carried on through him. A secretary, however, has been appointed to keep notes on the meetings so data may be given the representatives to carry back to their fraternity.

Organization and supervision of inter-fraternal sports are carried out by the council. These include basketball, bowling, soft ball, and other tournaments. Indeed, with the men returning to the campus in greater numbers than ever before, the year has been a busy one for the Inter-Fraternity Council keeping the five active fraternal orders within bounds.

PAN HELLENIC COUNCIL

Although one of the least publicized or-ganizations on campus, the Pan-Hellenic Board plays a vital part in its role a s advisory board to Hope's six sororities. Pan-Hellenic is com-posed of two members from each of the sororities; a junior member who serves for two years, and a senior member, the Dean of Women, Miss Lichty, and the advisor. Miss Boyd.

Under the able direction of this year 's presi-dent, Marian Dame, Pan-Hellenic has con-tinued the sponsorship of A.S.A., the freshman girls' sorority which was an innovation of last year. The Pan-Hellenic o r g a n i z a t i o n has adopted a new sorority pledging system.

pledging girls in their sophomore year instead of in their freshman year a s was done pre-viously. This has resulted in giving new girls better opportunities for becoming acquainted with the sororities before assuming member-ship. As a direct result of the adoption of this system, the Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority was formed for the freshman girls on campus.

Several times throughout the year 1946-47, Pan-Hellenic met with the Inter-Fraternity Council to discuss matters which were of vital interest to both the sororities and fraternities. Because of these meetings a more unified spirit was gained and many problems of concern to all students were brought to the fore.

CHI PHI

Early in October a group of enthusiastic men met for the purpose of organizing a new fraternity to answer the needs of the doubled male enrollment. This group chose the name of Arcadian because of its his-torical significance in ancient Greece. The grandeur of this Greek name is constituted in the three Greek letters, Chi, Phi, Sigma, representing the three virtues of service, love, wisdom. With these three virtues as a foundation the Arcadians began to build.

Immediately upon organization a full rush-ing program was successfully carried out by the twenty-four charter members. A fine group of 35 men who accepted the invitation for membership were initiated informally and formally. Ten more members were added to our membership during the second semester.

On January 25th, 1947 a formal party at The Marquee climaxed the activities of the first semester. The program and decorations carried out the theme of Kampus Kapers.

The spring informal party was held on May 10th, 1947.

Some of the outstanding subjects of the literary meetings were: Football Personali-ties, Recorded History of Popular Music,. Reading with Comprehension, and Recon-struction in the Netherlands.

During the course of the second semester the fraternity song, March of Brotherhood, was composed and words written by sev-eral of the members. Also the fraternity pin was designed, which symbolized the sig-nificance of our Greek name.

The Arcadian members were active in many campus activities during the year. Several were especially successful in college forensics. We were greatly pleased with our fraternity chorus which took the first place in interfraternity competition at the All College Sing. The fraternity was also glad

•to plan with Alpha Sigma Alpha the first of the Spring series of All College Informal Parties.

The strains of "Hail Knickerbocker" again resound through the halls of Hope College. These happy and rollicking strains were long locked in the memory chests of Knicks who packed their books and answered their country's call.

Immediately the transfusion of new mem-bers fanned the slow burning embers into a raging fire, and once again the Knicker-bockers began to carry on those social, in-tellectual and moral traditions for which they were founded. Organizing the group and indoctrinating the fraternal spirit, which in the past was an integral part of Kappa Eta Nu, was no simple task, but it was suc-cessfully accomplished during the first se-mester by the leadership abilities both of the old members and the new.

A dinner at the Marque was the first event in the social calendar; smokers fol-lowed that. The term was completed by the Formal Knickerbocker Party held at the Warm Friends Tavern.

The second semester again challenged the abilities of the Knickerbockers. Inter-Fraternity Basketball and Bowling took up a great deal of the time of the Fraternity athletes. The All College Sing challenged the more musical. Finally a Spring Informal Party led the way into the summer season.

Not only the social traditions were upheld during the year; the intellectual and moral sides were also once again raised to the high station they once held. Devotions, Serious Papers, and the like were presented at each meeting. A Chapel Service was led by a group from the fraternity. For all these activities we owe grateful appreciation to the College for its cooperation, to Prof. Harold Haverkamp, the Advisor, and to the Fra-ternity Officers who have guided the way.

To the Knicks of years gone by, and to those in years to come, we now pledge our loyalty and the promise to raise these tra-ditions to their height in Christian Fellow-ship.

OMICRON

The war completed, Fraters returned to Hope and the good life they left behind. Re-organization was undertaken last year a s soon as several Fraters could find time from new-found scholastic zeal. Along with the other fraternities on campus, Fraternal took her place once more to champion men of character and high breeding.

The Fraternal Society was started in 1837 at Union College, Schnectady, New York, and thereby holds the unique privilege of being older than the school of which it is now a part. Seven men with virtuous and worthy ideals organized Fraternal, and now seventy-seven men are striving, successfully, to perpetuate this heritage.

OKE welcomed forty-nine new members in December, 1946. Art Timmer wielded the gavel first term.

Fraternal meetings were held in classrooms and dark corners of Van Raalte. January

eleventh was the date of the winter party at the Women's Literary Club. Members, dressed comfortably in postwar pinstripes, and their dates, attired in gorgeous strapless creations, munched on sirloins and laughed heartily at Frater "Abe" Lincoln and his bevy of beautiful co-eds. The annual Washington Stag was held in the Temple Building and proved to be a social and gastronomical success. "Frater Frolics", a young institution of pre-war days, was again a howling success. The spring sports party was held in May, The event of a successful Fraternal year. The Fraters also contributed well to campus activities, coming forth with their basketball teams, placing high in spring track meet, and having representa-tives on all college teams and class positions.

In this manner, another milestone in Fra-ternal history has been passed. The sun of the Fraternal Crest, though it may be setting for the Seniors, is rising for the Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors.

Cosmopolitans came back to Hope's cam-pus this year after a four year "vacation" and found that many changes had taken place. Cosmo Alumnus, Dr. Lubbers, had become president of the college. The former Cosmo Castle on Thirteenth street had gone the way of all Hope's frat houses (and its furniture and radio now graced the Van Raalte lounge). The ranks of Phi Kappa Alpha had been greatly depleted by the war; but there were many new men on the campus, and Cosmopolitan began its fifty-sixth year by pledging forty-five carefully chosen men to the principles of Friendship, Truth, and Progress.

Mr. Clyde Geerlings became the fra-ternity's popular faculty advisor. Clarence Van Liere was elected the first post-war President, and Merle Vanden Berg became Vice-President. "Busty" Van Dyke kept the records, while LeRoy Sandee regulated the finances. Under this supervision was held a "stag" dinner during "rush week"; this

helped new and old Cosmopolitans to get acquainted. And in December an old tra-dition was revived after a four-year lapse, when the Cosmos entertained their "sisters", the Delphi, in a joint meeting.

Following Christmas vacation those elect-ed for the second term took office. Merle Vanden Berg wielded the gavel. Charles Knooihuizen, as Vice-President, ar ranged the programs; and Wyba Nienhuis became scribe. At the end of first semester exam week the Cosmos and their guests attended the "Cosmo Sweepstakes", a formal party at the Warm Friend Tavern.

The war has made Phi Kappa Alpha even more truly "cosmopolitan"; and this year saw the revived fraternity aga in take up its place of leadership in every phase of college life. It is with fond memories of fullhearted, manly fellowship that every Cosmo looks back upon the first post-war year of Phi Kappa Alpha.

T A U

As Father Time claimed the scholastic year, Emersonian wrote another page in its glorious history. With the cessation of hos-tilities and the return of ex-service men to Hope's Campus, Emersonian again as-sumed her role of leadership among the in-creased student body. At the end of formal rushing, an outstanding group of men were initiated into the Order of Emerson and im-bued with the spirit of Love, Honor, and Success—three passwords to a noble and in-spiring life which epitomizes the hopes and aspirations of Emersonian.

Starting this new period in Emersonian's life found Dr. Hollenbach, popular English professor, becoming our faculty advisor. Joint meetings with Hope's Sororities high-lighted the winter and spring terms. During the first term, the annual Winter party, in

the form of an 'Arctic Traveloa" was en-joyed by all. Spring found Emersonian once again taking her place in the All Col-lege Sing and May Day activities, as well as producing the long awaited Spring Party.

Truly, Emersonian's first post-war year has been one of great benefit to its mem-bers and the College. Once again she has proven her right to a place of leadership on Hope's Campus. With a solid foundation in the present, Emersonian fearlessly and alertly looks to a brilliant future. It has promise of inumerable fulfillments, an un-folding of still greater achievements. Forg-ing the binding chains of eternal friendships

"and loyalty, with malice towards none and cooperation with all, PHI TAU NU marches forward!

DELTA PHI

The Table of Contents of the story of Delphi, 1946-47, brings back many happy memories. "Slumber Party" recalls the gay slumberless night that Queen Myra Brouwer started Delphi

on its annual career. "Pledge Night" leaps from the p a g e with reminders of high spirits as Delphians and their thirty pledges enjoyed dinner and an evening in Grand Rapids.

"Formal Initiation" for new Delphians in white formals, "Alumnae Luncheon", "Christ-mas Breakfast" and "Sleepy-Time Ball", the winter formal party, where Delphians and their escorts wandered through dreams and a nightmare!

And still the events go on—"New Pledges", "Joint Meetings", "Valentine Potluck Supper", "Spring Party", and "Senior Meeting" with a sadder note a s the seniors said good-bye to four years of love and loyalty in Delta Phi.

KAPPA BETA PHI

One of the less pleasant things about leav-ing school for the summer is the temporary loss of friends made here. It is with greatest regret that we, particularly the seniors, leave sorority this year.

It has been a full year, and a wonderful one. The formal party in February, our 1 Ball of the Bells," is a wonderful memory, as is our spring party, informal and spontaneous. We recall, top, the All-College Sing and our 1 Reverie," followed by the Dorian song. And our regular meetings, luncheons with alumnae, special affairs with other societies, and work on our Homecoming float have brought us closer to each other.

This year of companionship and service, getting and giving, fun and serious thought has left on us the indelible impression of Dorian.

SIGMA IOTA BETA

XSJGnA Jr/ oc1

Sketching the year of Sibylline requires many drawings for the year 's activities. The first of these is a lakefront cottage where Sibyllines gathered for food, festivity, (and someone said she slumbered). Anyway, they

all appea red at Convocation next day.

Wearing large white chrysanthemums, Sibs with Sib Alumnae made a pretty pic-ture as they cheered together at the Home-coming game, following their annual brunch held at the Dutch Mill. Included in the scene was the artistic prize-winning float of Sibylline, telling Alma "For Whom the Bell Tolls".

Brushes, capes, paints and easels were used by industrious Sibs sketching the scenes for an "Artists' Fantasy"—the Sibyl-line winter formal, held at the Warm Friend Tavern.

Sibs hold a joint meet ing with the Cosmos.

SIGMA SIGMA

For forty-one years, the gold and white crescent banner of Sigma Sigma has guided her members on to a better appreciation of the higher values of life offered at Hope.

Since its formation in 1906, at that time the only girls' society on the campus, Sigma Sigma has provided Hope with numerous and capable leaders.

The Sorosis 1947 calendar contains memo-randa of an unforgettable houseparty, the Homecoming luncheon, a "Dreamland" win-ter formal, a lumnae teas, joint meetings, informal spring party, and the annual fare-well house party. During the year, the circle of Sigma Sigma was expanded to in-clude many more potential leaders. With this remarkable record, the crescent banner of Sorosis will continue to be the Star of Hope.

THETA GAMMA PHI

The doorbell chimed, aga in opening the door to Ye Olde Tea Shoppe of Theta Gamma Pi. Rushees were given a glimpse of the menu for '46-'47 at the Round Robin Tea. Twelve pledges decided to order "a la carte"

at an impressive formal initiation under soft candlelight.

After a hayride under a bright harvest moon, Thesaurians gathered for an evening of square dancing at "Old Macdonald's Farm". Following a winter of fun, Thetas and their dates dined to the strains of "Deep Purple" at the spring formal.

With June, happy Thesaurians closed the door on the shoppe for another year, bidding goodbye to seniors Jean, Lois, Nellie Mae, Betty, Marian, Mary, Doris, Barb, Martha, Ann, Katie, Bertha, Lynn, and Edith, who carry our ideals of friendship, service, and devotion with them wherever they go.

ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA A.S.A. is the freshman girls' society on cam-

pus. It w a s organized in 1945 by act of the • Pan Hellenic Board, which decided that no girl should be admitted to a regular sorority until her sophomore year. The purpose of A.S.A. is to take the place of sororities for the "Frosh Femmes".

This past year, however, the society has

played a dual role. With the greatly increased enrollment it would be almost impossible for all the freshman girls to get to know each other. A.S.A. has provided the means of doing so. Meetings were held informally, every other week, in the West Hall lounge, and the two parties given during the year proved that the A.S.A.-ites were just as skilled as their big sisters in the social graces.
