Old (jlory Old Glory! Long may she wave O'er the la7id of the free and the home of the brave, Men fought for it; men died for it; Who isn't thrilled by the might and sight of it?

There are many flags in many lands, There are flags of every hue, But there is no flag, however grand. Like our own "Red, White and Blue."

She's up there — Old Glory — hoiv bright the stars stream! And the stripes like red signals of liberty gleam! And ive dare for her — living, or dream the last dream, 'Neath the flag of our country forever.

So God bless our star-gemmed banner; Shake its folds out to the breeze. From church, from school, from house-top. O'er the city, over the seas.

The s t r ands of humor , p a t h o s a n d in t r igue which fill our col-

the seeming ly mono tonous e v e r y d a y occur rences a n d hum-

d r u m activi t ies of school life, t ake on a d d e d luster with the

p a s s a g e of time. This Milestone h a s r eco rded a n d d o c u m e n t e d

Jack, the Friend. Jack, the Coach.

Sooner or later du r ing the term of s tudy on Hope ' s c ampus , all s tudents enter the w a r m s p h e r e of c o m r a d e s h i p c r e a t e d b y a m a n w h o s e s incere fr iendliness a n d genia l na tu re h a s long e n d e a r e d him to s tudents a n d faculty alike. For Jack Schouten is, a n d h a s b e e n at the s a m e time, father, brother , a n d fr iend to all.

It w a s in the ear ly n ine teen twent ies that Jack first c a m e to b e recognized a s the "fa ther of Hope Col lege athlet ics ." He h a s held that distinction th rough the y e a r s until Hope Col lege athlet ics a n d Jack Schouten h a v e b e c o m e synonymous .

W h e n athlet ics w a s in its in fancy a t Hope, Jack generous ly vo lun teered his services to assist in fulfilling the inc reas ing d e m a n d for a full time athlet ic p rogram. It w a s Jack a s a trainer, w h o in those first y e a r s of athlet ic competi t ion b e c a m e known a s the hea le r of all a i lments , phys ica l a n d otherwise. His respons ive na tu re , r e a d y smile, a n d hea r ty g ree t ing c o m b i n e d to m a k e him loved a n d revered .

From trainer to c o a c h w a s a mere t ransferr ing of titles, for he h a d long ev inced g rea t interest in coaching . Our first official coach. Jack took over dut ies in football, baske tba l l , b a s e b a l l a n d track.

It w a s Jack w h o ins t iga ted phys ica l t ra ining p r o g r a m s for girls a n d m a d e good sports-m a n s h i p a n d c lean living by-words . A firm bel iever in both. Jack h a s long a d v o c a t e d the theory that a good a th le te will m a k e a good citizen. A former a th le te himself. Jack knows the v a l u e of living right, not only in athletics, but in all things, a n d dai ly he strives to b e a living e x a m p l e of this.

Today, with o n e of the largest enrol lments in Hope ' s history, a n d a grea t ly e x p a n d e d athlet ic p r o g r a m . Jack still finds time for mak ing the life of a s tudent on Hope ' s c a m p u s a fuller one. As Director of Physical Educat ion, trainer, a n d c o a c h of the b a s e b a l l s q u a d . Jack finds a m p l e oppor tuni ty to m a k e fr iends a n d inf luence the lives of all with whom he comes in contact .

Emerson once wrote, "In order to h a v e a friend, you must first b e one." For over thirty years . Jack Schouten h a s lived a n d prac t iced this creed. It is with a feeling of

at tection a n d pride, that this Milestone for the y e a r 1949 is d e d i c a t e d to him.

Jack, the Helper . Jack, the Trainer.

Dr. Lubbers h a s m a d e n u m e r o u s trips a n d h a s a t t e n d e d m a n y important conferences in order to represent Hope Col lege a n d the ideals for which it s tands.

Dr. Lubbers ' faithful service to Hope Col lege is recognized a n d deep ly a p p r e c i a t e d by the entire s tudent body, faculty, a n d alumni . His g u i d a n c e a n d wisdom h a v e encour-a g e d m a n y on the long a n d often d i scourag ing pa th to h igher learning. He h a s implan ted in m a n y the desire for h igher goals , va lues , a n d pu rposes in life. W e p r a y that G o d ma^ wa tch over our President in the future yea r s of gu id ing a n d s teer ing the course of Hope College.

Class SUFFERING HUMANITY:

The centuries pass , a n d still we a r e sick at heart , for we find the torn road of life torturous a n d long. Our b leeding h a n d s a r e outs t retched to the youth of the world, a n d we cry in despai r , O youth, hea r us a n d help us, w e a r e the oppressed , the s tarving a n d the sick, a n d we a r e dying . . . But our voices a r e weak; a n d our cries but empty sounds in the c lamorous confusion of life, our p leas hollow mockery?

YOUTH: Suffering humani ty , your voices a r e ring-

ing cries of cha l lenge a n d the call to battle. Your p leas stir in our b reas t s the iron cour-a g e n e e d e d to fight the g rea t fight of life. If we yield to evil, if the bu rden of be ing our brother 's keeper is too great , then we must all perish. Yield . . . never! Let us r a n g e our forces on the side of Kindness a n d Justice, a n d with the b a n n e r of brother-hood gal lant ly w a v i n g on high, storm the murky moat of injustice, a n d the grim, g ray bat t lements of evil.

THE OPPRESSED: If you would he lp us, first lift from our

shoulders the cutt ing yoke of oppress ion that h a s been so cruelly forced upon us. A merciless b u r d e n cha ined in p lace by those who do not recognize a n y w a y of life but their own. Those who do not submit to their iron-fisted dominat ion a r e bl inded by war ' s red glare. Cunning with the cunning of cruelty, these butchers of men a n d s layers of ideals a r e dangerous . How can you hope to stop their evil a d v a n c e ? We were w e a k a n d failed; will you too fail?

YOUTH: We will not fail! We will smash the bonds

of hatred, a n d the shackles of tyranny which bind your f reedom loving spirits. The s tag-ger ing bu rden of oppression will be lifted from your b o w e d backs, a n d you shall be m a d e strong a n d straight aga in . We will become diplomats a n d peacemakers , states-men a n d thinkers. We will m a k e laws pro-tecting our children's children. We will be p e a c e a b l e but firm, living a s we wan t to live. The essence of democracy a n d free-dom shall go forth, flowing across the world in a pulsat ing, ever widening current of love a n d brotherhood. We will teach through living, so that others m a y see how we flour-ish a n d wonder . . .

THE SICK: Death 's black cloak casts a constant

shadow over our lives, a n d the dim twilight deepens . Our bodies a r e wracked with fever, a n d w e writhe in the a g o n y that

) r o p It e c y comes with pain. What can we, our weak bodies torn a n d rent with suffering, do to save ourselves? We must look to you for help, for you a r e blazing beacons in a sea of misery. What will you do?

YOUTH: We will become doctors a n d scientists,

nurses a n d research workers. We will train our h a n d s to cut with the scalpel a n d sew with the need le so that you m a y live. Our laborator ies will find w a y s to cure you with d rugs a n d medicines a n d we will close your wounds with the soothing ba lm of care a n d kindness. We will become healers a n d you will be hea led , our hospitals will grow, a n d you will be rested. The everlast ing search for heal th will continue, a n d the dim glow of our knowledge shall f lame into a bril-liant blaze. Health a n d happ iness a r e the instruments with which to cure your sick-ness, time the healer .

THE STARVING: War ' s devas ta t ion a n d Nature ' s wra th

have w r e a k e d havoc in our lands. Famine is rife, the soil is idle, a n d we a r e starving. How would you h a v e us fill our s tomachs a n d fatten our children so that they may live? Will you h a v e us till the soil when our only crop is bitter tears, a n d stones?

YOUTH: We will share the weal th of our land with

you, the golden whea t of our plains, the beef of our cattle, a n d the milk of h u m a n kindness. We will teach your men of the land how to till the soil a n d r e a p harves ts of plenty. We will become agriculturists a n d farmers, ranchers a n d dai ry men. We will share our a r sena l of machines a n d b r a w n with which to do your work. Your lands shall grow green under the clear skies of happ iness a n d the blazing sun of freedom. You shall prosper a n d once more your chil-dren will l augh a n d sing.

YOUTH: What each of us can do is not great in

comparison to the t remendous weight of your burdens . But, if we free you from op-pression, heal your g a p i n g wounds, a n d feed your children, then you will be strength-ened. You will see that there is yet hope, that wha t we do is but a beginning, a p rophecy of wha t can be if we a n d others like us b a n d together in common cause , uniting in an effort to ea se your suffering. It is then, that the good we do shall be a s a giant tidal wave, wash ing before it all that is evil, surmount ing the grim, g ray bat -^ements of famine, pesti lence a n d war . This then, is our destiny . . .

To the faculty do we b e q u e a t h — nothing, since they have at last convinced us that we will need everything we possess.

We, the English majors, will the terrific exams of Dean Hollenbach to whomever is foolish enough to take them.

We leave the profound philosophy of Dr. DeGraaf to a n y o n e whose mind is c a p a b l e of abso rb ing it. r w n

We leave the calm pleas ing manners of Prof. Haverkamp to others who shall strug-gle Over Munn's textbook.

We, the educat ion majors, will Mr. Yon-der Borgh's inimitable style of expressing himself to future teachers. Perhaps they could use this: Without using that detest-ab l e word, I imagine you know what 1 mean. We' re at the end of a section, a n d it would be nice to h a v e a little evaluat ion.

We also leave the enjoyment of Mr. Part-ington's various amus ing facial expressions to other aspir ing educators .

We, the mathemat ics majors, do b e q u e a t h the open book tests of Mr. Folkert to other fortunate students.

To Miss Meyer 's classes we will her love of phonetics, a n d her inimitable e-eu, a n d interest in anyth ing French.

To the Spanish classes we leave this ad-vice: "Don't walk out after five minutes of wait ing. Mr. Madrid will surely arrive some-time."

We, the chemistry majors, will to the Kot-fee Kletz all the money they haven ' t re-ceived from us thus far.

We will Dr. Kleinheksel's faithfulness m a t tending classes to those who a re inclined not to do so.

To Dr. Van Zyl do we b e q u e a t h a new test tube rack a n d brushes, hoping that he can make his lab a s nea t a s Dr. Klein-heksel's.

We also leave our winning streak over the b io logy football t eam to next year ' s lab.

We, the philosophy majors, will our deep enthusiasm for "Squeaky Van Saun to others who learn in his classroom the true Christian philosophy of life.

We leave our never-dying school loyalty a n d spirit to the underclassmen. May they prove worthy of it.

Hope Coeds Pay During Big Week

HOLLAND—In case you'd fo rgo t t ca , Monday is St . Valen-t ine 's Day. Certa inly s t uden t s at Hope College remember .

Because wha t ' s j u s t .St. Valent ine s Day to the res t of West-e m Michigan is the first d a y of Dutch T r e a t Week to Hope I College. T h a t ' s the week when it 's per fec t ly proper for a coed I lo ask f o r a date with the man of her choice, when even wives I of marr ied s tuden t s foot the bill when t h e y go o u t with the i r | husbands.

T H E Y ' R E A L L S E T ' Wait a minu te ! calls Howard Koop, Holland Senior who's :

veteran of the A r m y Air Force and marr ied . "Dutch T r e a t j Week was lots of f u n in m y college days as a n underc lassman." he says, "bu t now when m y wife asks me to go out I still have I to pay the bill . . . and she decides whe re we're going."

But Howard is in the mino r i t y : most of Hope 's s t uden t s ] are all se t and wai t ing eager ly f o r the event t ha t since inception in 1932 has become one of the most impor tan t a f fa i rs I in Hope College's social season.

Ann Wolters , Hope Senior f r om Holland, has dug out a l is t of original rules for the even t—they go like th i s ;

1. If a girl a sks f o r a da te , she bears half the expense. 2. If a boy asks, i t ' s the same old s to ry—he pays as usual . 3. f r e s h m e n girls mus t post on the college bulletin board

rese tva t ions for the "Spoon Holder" ( a very popular bench on Uio r n m p u s l three days in advance. Time limit, two hou r s P"'3

and six minutes. Capaci ty, 10 couples, exclusive of t h e facul ty . 4 Dales negotiated tn rough "s tuden t adver t i sements" in •

" F o r an ent i re week the g i r l s will be f r e e as birds," A n n said.

O N L Y B R I E F L Y And, in a sense , ' t h a t ' s t rue . But men who a re used to I

pa>i.i^ i.ie sno t on every date are jus t as happy abou t wha t ' s corning up. I t ' s a chance to assume the role of the anxious f ingenue, wai t ing for t h a t phone call, b u f i t l as t s only a week, and then they can get back to the more secure life of t h e m a n who speaks while the girl answers .

Riverside Park

into p a y dirt from the one-foot line for the first score. Nick Yonker tossed a 27-Yard p a s s to Ted Barrett in the end zone to complete Hope scoring. Monmouth clicked on a 15-yard s camper by Don Armstrong in the final f rame.

Taking on Adrian in the first M1AA clash of the season , the Hol landers found their cus tomary 13 points a s h a d e too few, a n d were h a n d e d a hear t -rend ing 14-13 defea t b y the Bulldogs. Ted Rycenga h a n d e d Hope a 6-0 l ead in the first qua r t e r with a four-yard off-tackle touchdown slant, but Adrian b o u n c e d back with a Burkhardt-to-Hoben-to-Clark ae r i a l affair a n d a conversion by Rice to lead, 7 to 6, a t the half. The Bulldogs increased their marg in ear ly in the fourth qua r t e r w h e n Gillis s lanted off tackle from the one a n d Rice a g a i n a d d e d the point. Later in the s a m e frame, Yonker fired a pas s to C la re DeMull for Hope 's second tally.

Undaunted , the Dutch c a m e back in their next a p p e a r a n c e a s they t r a v e l l e d to Hillsdale a n d b l a s t ed the Dales ' homecoming celebrat ion with a thrilling 7-0 upset . Ted Barrett provided the spark to ignite the Hope touchdown blaze a s he r ipped u p 43 ya rds from the Hollanders ' 38 to the Hillsdale 19 in the second quar te r . A few p lays later Nick Yonker connec ted wiin a n ae r ia l to Bill Holwerda w h o ga the red in the leather on the two-yard marker a n d s l ipped across.

Wrecking homecomings w a s becoming hab i tua l with the Hopeites a s they invaded G r a n d Rapids the following week a n d poured cold wa te r on Junior College 's a lumni-a t t rac t ing .affair with a touch-d o w n b a r r a g e that g a v e them a 32-13 win. Hope took a 12-0 first half l ead on TD trips by Barrett a n d VanWingen . The Dutch tallied in the second half when Pfingstel s lashed across from the five, a n d a g a i n a moment later when Holtrop in tercepted a Raider p a s s a n d l a t e r a ^ d to Yonker for a net ga in of 30 ya rds a n d six points. The JC's s l ipped in a six-pointer b y Cornwall , but Hope c a m e back with a scoring p a s s from Yonker to Holwerda . A Tie tema- to-Owens aer ia l completed Raider scoring.

It w a s homecoming time in Holland the next week a n d the Dutch topped the festivities with their most impressive M1AA exhibition of the season, downing Albion, 33 to 6. Rycenga a n d Barrett s l ammed across two quick touchdowns for the Hopeites in first qua r t e r play, but the Britons re ta l ia ted with a c lassy screen p a s s p lay in the second frame, fea tur ing a Marvin-to-Martin aer ia l for 61 ya rds a n d a score. Abe Moer land set u p a third-quarter tally for the Hollanders v/hen he s n a g g e d an Albion p a s s at midfield a n d r a c e d to the Briton 14. Rycenga hit p a y dirt a few p lays later. In the final f rame, Ted Barrett circled right end for a 40-yard ga in a n d another touchdown. Hope 's fifth tally c a m e late in the tilt on a Hinga- to -VandeWege pass .

Lady Luck f rowned upon the Hol landers a s they travelled to Kalamazoo for their next tilt. Not only did she frown upon them, but she a lso h a n d e d them ano ther rough b reak in the form of a safety when Jim Pfingstel w a s t r apped beh ind the goa l line to give Kazoo its two-point marg in of victory. Ted Barrett c a r e e n e d 79 ya rds d o w n the field in the first qua r t e r to net the Dutchmen the lead, but within three minutes the Hornets c a m e b a c k a s Flowers tossed to Poth w h o g a t h e r e d in the ball on the Hope 43 a n d swept his w a y to scoring ground. The fourth qua r t e r safe ty broke a 7-7 deadlock which h a d existed since the initial f rame, a n d p roved to b e the decisive factor in Hope 's second de-feat .

Varsity Basketball Although u n a b l e to entice "Lady Luck" over to its side,

Hope 's 1948-49 baske tba l l s q u a d main ta ined a position of re-spect in Michigan collegiate c a g e ranks, a n d were d r e a d e d a s a point -producing powerhouse in the MIAA a s they suc-c e e d e d in knocking off all of the loop's quintets, except Kala-mazoo, at least once dur ing the season.

Seven defea ts by the nar rowes t of marg ins accoun ted for Hope 's ra ther grim record a n d its fifth-place ra t ing in the six-t eam MIAA. However , those seven defea ts were not ones of which to b e a s h a m e d . At no time dur ing the season were the Dutchmen ever de fea t ed by more than a slim four points, a n d the a g g r e g a t e total s epa ra t ing Hope from its opponents in those seven tilts w a s only 21 points, or an a v e r a g e of three points a game .

So tight w a s the r ace for the MIAA c a g e crown dur ing the past season that, h a d the Hollanders b e e n ab l e to defea t Alma in their last l e a g u e tussle, they would h a v e g r a b b e d a share of second p lace ra ther than the fifth slot which w a s allotted them af ter the Scots e d g e d them, 49 to 45.

Another feather in Coach Russ DeVette's c a p is the fact that his s q u a d w a s the only l e a g u e t eam to defea t Hillsdale's MIAA baske tba l l champions . The Dutch took the Hillsdale five by a 19-point margin, 63 to 44, a t the Armory to a v e n g e a n earl ier three-point defea t on the Dales' ha rdwood .

The fact that the Hope quint w a s r e g a r d e d a s more powerful than its fifth-place ra t ing would indicate w a s proved a t the end of the season when MfAA officials p laced two Dutch baske tee r s on the '48-'49 honor squad . Forwards Herk Buter a n d Bud V a n d e W e g e both were a w a r d e d positions on the six-m a n all-MlAA team. Hillsdale's ti t le-snaring quint w a s the only other t eam to p lace two men on the loop honor squad .

Hope commenced its c a g e c a m p a i g n aga ins t Percy Jones a t the Armory a n d wa lked off the floor at the end of the tilt with an impressive 69-42 victory over the medics.

The following week, the Hollanders t raveled to Grand Rap-ids to take on another non- league foe. G r a n d Rapids Junior College, a n d overcame the sc rappy Raider five by a 47-32 count.

That s a m e week m a r k e d the first MIAA contest for the Dutch five a n d a lso the first blotch on their record when Hillsdale's Bear Cats tu rned them back, 58 to 55.

Misfortune struck a g a i n in the O r a n g e a n d Blue's next sc rap when the Ka lamazoo Hornets s tung them, 46 to 44, in an over-time tilt. This w a s Hope s only loss on the Armory court dur ing the entire season .

Two more non-loop tilts then provided the Hollanders with ano ther b r a c e of victories. Percy Jones w a s humbled for the second time by a 72-32 count at Battle Creek, a n d Michigan Normal took a 51-50 se tback a t the h a n d s of the Dutch in a thrilling f r acas at the Armory.

Get t ing back into conference competition, the Dutch found the going a bit rough a g a i n a s they t raveled to Adr ian to a b s o r b a 53-49 defeat , a n d then went on to Albion where the Britons eked out a slim 60-62 victory.

AA* ith four losses a n d no wins in loop contests thus far, Hope b u m p e d noses with Alma in Holland on the following Tuesday a n d h a n d e d the Scots a 74-65 d r u b b i n g for its first l e a g u e victory.

Playing one of their most ou t s tand ing g a m e s of the season , the Dutch followed the Alma win with a n impressive 63-44 tr iumph over Hillsdale 's Bear Cats, 1948-49 MIAA champs .

The Hol landers then d r e w blood from their a rch rivals, Cal-vin, a s they t h u m p e d the Knights b y a 21-point margin , 64 to 43, at the Armory.

Ka lamazoo cont inued to b e a tack on the Dutch bench when the Hol landers t raveled to Kazoo a n d received their second na r row se tback of the season a t the h a n d s of the Hornets 47 to 44.

Adr ian a n d Albion w e r e then p inned down b y the Hope quint in r e v e n g e for a pair of se tbacks earl ier in the campa ign . The DeVette-men t rounced the Britons by a 71-60 count, a n d then d u m p e d Adrian, 75 to 59.

In a contest which w a s to dec ide whether Hope or Alma would g r a b a sha re of second place, the loser to take fifth, the Dutch journeyed to the Scots' lair a n d there were am-bushed , 49 to 45, in their final MIAA scrap. Thus, four points s e p a r a t e d Hope from a th ree -way tie for second p lace in con-ference s t and ings a n d shoved them into fifth.

Travel ing to Ypsilanti, the Hollanders tallied ano ther e a s y victory, sett ing b a c k Michigan Normal, 65 to 59.

From all a p p e a r a n c e s , Jack's early a n d r igorous t ra ining per iods h a v e not been in vain, for a s h a s b e e n ev idenced in their first few starts, the Dutchmen a p p e a r to be one of the top defensive units in MIAA circles a n d should finish in the uppe r bracket af ter loop competi t ion this season .

The printer, like time a n d tide, wai ts for no man, a n d a s the final p a g e s of the Milestone accumula t e in the office of the printer, Hope h a s comple ted only four of the 15 g a m e s listed on its intensive 1949 schedule . The Dutch nine 's superiori ty in the defensive ca tegory is clearly shown by the fact that in these four contests they h a v e a l lowed the opposition to r each home plate by w a y of third b a s e only twice. Offensively, the Schouten-men h a v e also b e e n doing qui te well, push ing across 18 runs, for an a v e r a g e of bet ter than four a game .

In their opener , the Dutchmen turned back Aquinas Col-lege of G r a n d Rapids by a 2-1 count. Then p lay ing host to Muskegon Junior College, the Hollanders ran wild in chalk-ing up an impressive 11-0 victory. Kalamazoo regis tered the first defea t on Hope 's '49 record with a slim 1-0 victory g a i n e d on a n u n e a r n e d run.

Hoping to prevent a recurrence of last year ' s record which put them in the MIAA cellar at the completion of the season, a la rge g roup of Dutch thinclads hit the cinder trails early this Spring to p r epa re themselves for the long trek through a stiff schedule of MIAA compe-

tition.

A1 Vanderbush , 1948 Hope track mentor, found that he w a s unab l e to devote sufficient time to both track a n d Spring football practice, a n d so this yea r re l inquished his track post to Russ DeVette, pilot of the baske tba l l squad , a n d Lars Granbe rg , whose previous coaching exper ience has been in the form of guiding Hope cross country squads .

Under the leadership of the W.A.A. Board consisting of one Freshman, two Sophomore, three Junior, a n d three Senior Representat ives a n d gu ided by Miss Van Dommelen, women ' s sports at Hope this year r eached a new high.

The p rogram of sports for women is des igned to promote good sportsmanship, to c rea te enjoyment for all a n d to pro-vide every girl with interest in at least one sport.

Interest in team sports w a s great this year. In the fall, school h a d hardly b e g u n when Volleyball t eams were be ing organized. A Volleyball round-robin tournament w a s run-off with twelve t eams part icipating.

Not to be forgotten w a s the introduction of Field Hockey. The fundamenta l s of the g a m e were demonst ra ted to the Freshman gym classes, a n d despite m a n y bruises, they be-c a m e quite proficient with the stick.

In the winter, thoughts turned to Basketball. Two leagues were organized with eight t eams in the "A" League a n d six teams (all Freshmen) in the "B" League. G a m e s were p layed each Thursday night in Carneg ie gym a n d the season w a s a great success.

Basketball teams were picked to represent Hope in g a m e s with Calvin College a n d also with Holland High School.

Softball w a s the other team sport so popular with all. Softball l eagues were formed with fourteen teams m a d e up of girls from various dorms and r andom groups. G a m e s were p layed on Monday, Wednesday , a n d Thurs-d a y evenings at the athletic field a n d at the VanRaal te Homestead grounds. Four d iamonds were in use most of the time.

Individual sports have grown considerably in populari ty with the addit ion of several new sports.

This year Horseback Riding was introduced

Golf, too, was a newcomer this year. Girls were given credit toward an a w a r d for golf-ing a s long a s their score cards were s igned by the "Pro" at the course on which they played. Several sets of clubs were purchased

An Indoor a n d Outdoor Archery Range w a s set u p a n d the a r rows b e g a n to fly. This sport takes no little amoun t of skill a n d the girls really learned how to hand le that bow. Arch-ery w a s a d d e d to the p rogram a n d w a s en-joyed by all who par t ic ipated.

Badminton a n d Ping Pong were two of the most popula r individual sports. They were not set tournaments but were carr ied on in a n informal manner . For the first time the W.A.A, sponsored a mixed-doubles tournament in b a d -minton. Matches w e r e p l ayed in Carneg ie gym each Monday night until late in the Spring.

Bowling is a l w a y s good sport for women. Fr iday af ternoons s a w c a m p u s women head-ing for the alleys. Winners were chosen by individual seasona l a v e r a g e s a n d the highest individual score. The setting of pins s eemed to give a s much exercise a s the bowling itself.

Girls were enter ta ined at a Play Day with Kalamazoo College a n d p layed hostess to Cal-vin College. These p lay d a y s included basket-ball, volleyball, deck tennis, badminton, ping pong, archery, relays, a n d a social time.

May Day sports activities cannot be left out of the program. On May Day representat ives from each class vie for p laces in track a n d field events. The winning class team receiving the most points receives a trophy.

Some hiking has also been a d d e d to the program, but ha s not a s yet been included in the a w a r d system.

At the end of each year , a w a r d s a re pre-sented to those who have ea rned them under the newly revised system.

A l p h a C k i

Alpha Chi w a s brought into be ing some yea r s a g o to r e c o g n i z e t h o s e men on the c a m p u s p lanning on enter ing some act ive Christian field of service. It continues to be one of the favorite organizat ions for such men.

Helpful a n d inspiring meet ings a r e held the third Monday of every month. At these meet-ings, a variety of topics on some definite p h a s e of Christian work is p resented by noted speak-ers. Such topics have been "The Call of the Minister," "The True Church," a n d "The Pre-para t ion of Sermons."

Alpha Chi h a s given its members a vision of future goals a n d help a n d encouragement in meet ing them. It h a s been a m e a n s whe reby the ve te rans on the front line for the service of Christ have impar ted of their knowledge a n d skill to the volunteers coming to the front. The speakers presented w a y s a n d m e a n s of avoid-ing the m a n y pit-falls common to so m a n y in Christian service. They h a v a given the best method of deal ing with people in personal contacts a n d of winning the confidence of others in the social situation.

One very interesting meet ing w a s held a t the home of Dean Milton Hinga, when the topic "The Minister As a Regular Fella" w a s dis-cussed.

O n e of the projects this year has been that of s tudying the Scriptures, committing portions of it to memory in order to dea l more effective-ly with the needs of men in personal work.

Alpha Chi has been held together by a strong tie of true Christian love. Friendships have been formed a n d s t rengthened which will bind our churches together into a closer unit.

Some of the highlights of the year were the meet ings with other organizat ions of common interest. It h a s been cus tomary to meet at least once a yea r with the organizat ion 's sister so-ciety, Kappa Delta.

The Adelphin society, represent ing the semi-nary men of Western Theological Seminary also exchange visits. These get-to-gethers give the pre-seminary student an opportunity to get a cqua in t ed with the s tudents a n d faculty of the seminary a n d to establish friendly relations before enter ing the a d v a n c e d school.

The officers serving this yea r were: Gera rd De Loof, president; Walter Kline, vice-presi-dent; Howard Newton, treasurer; a n d Robert Macy, secretary.

Composed of girls interested in var ious types of Christian Service, Kappa Delta ha s proved its worth dur ing its comparat ively short exist-ence of four years . The opportunit ies a n d prob-lems of a Christian worker a r e presented in many ways , a n d a re both a n inspiration a n d a chal lenge to its members .

The monthly meet ings varied, but a lways consisted of devotions led by the members and a presentat ion of some p h a s e of Christian serv-ice. The n e e d for witnessing w a s m a d e effec-tive by means of a chalk talk. Hilda Baker a n d Evie Van Dam reported on the mission con-ference they a t t ended in Columbus, Ohio, this fall. Doctor Rottschaefer from India m a d e known to us the needs of the m a n y lepers in that country. Other speakers included Mrs. I. J. Lubbers Mrs. Wells Thcms a n d Mrs Henry DePree.

A joint meet ing with Alpha Chi is a lways popular , a n d this constituted the December meeting; Doctor Louis Benes, editor of the Church Herald w a s guest speaker . Christmas gifts were bought to b e sent to Sarospatak, Hungary.

D e l t a

This year a new project ha s been originated. The girls desired to learn by doing a s well a s by hearing, so approximately six Good News Clubs were b e g u n in the city of Holland. These classes, held in private homes after school hours, afford the girls the opportunity of pre-senting the message of Christ by means of choruses, flannel graph, a n d Bible stories to those who have little other religious instruction.

In addit ion to this, the girls a lso support a patient in a leper hospital in a foreign country. They ra ised the money in var ious interesting ways . A special b i r thday meeting w a s held in February for this purpose, and "sacrifice week" also proved beneficial. Once aga in a t Christ-mas the mission box w a s packed; this year it w a s des igna ted for the Indian mission station a t Winnebago, Nebraska.

The officers this year include Hazel Vander Woude, president; Lorraine Van Farowe, vice-president; Cornelia Van Bruggen, treasurer; Florence Stewart, secretary; a n d Margaret Schoonveld, sergeant-at-arms.

S p a n i s h Club

The Spanish Club h a s h a d one of its most interesting a n d successful years . The themes of monthly meet ings h a v e b e e n timely a n d varied, with a s tudy of Spanish a n d Mexican songs, movies, a n d the literary a n d art works of the Latin American people p resen ted in a n enter ta ining a n d highly informative manner .

Several movies were shown dur ing the year , one por t raying the life of "Chico," the little Mexican boy with a grea t love for nature . An-other w a s entitled, "Romantic Old Madrid," a p ic turesgue t rave logue to delight a n d enthrall. These movies a r e especial ly interesting a s they give Spanish s tudents a "close-up" view of the Latin people a s they work a n d play, a n d give a d d e d emphas i s to the r ead ing done in the course.

Singing ranks high a s a favorite method for the s tudy of Spanish a n d Mexican folk-lore a n d l anguages . The Latin strain predominat ing in the music gives it a warm, vibrant rhythm, which makes the s inging part icular ly enjoy-able . As in Negro spirituals, the hear t -bea t of a r ace can b e felt through its music, a n d it is through this medium that w e better unders tand our ne ighbors to the South.

The highlight of the year is Christmas, a n d the Chris tmas meet ing is eager ly awai ted . The purpose of the meet ing is to ce lebra te the holi-d a y a s it would b e observed in the Latin Amer-ican countries. There is the Mexican Pinata, a la rge b a g filled with sweets a n d nuts of all kinds. A member of the group is blindfolded, spun a r o u n d until dizzy, a n d given a stick with which he a t tempts to b reak the bag . When he succeeds in doing this, the rest of the g roup a t tempts to retrieve the fallen t reasure a n d there is fun a n d excitement for all present.

For the very thoughtful a n d ab l e sponsorship of the club, the g roup looked to Mr. Don Carlos Madrid a n d Miss Norma Wolcott. The s tudent officers a n d their respective offices were: Mary Breid, President; Lois Hall, Vice-President; Esther Schmidt, Secretary; a n d Duane Booi, Treasurer .

The success of the Spanish Club is d u e in la rge par t to the cooperat ion of all its mem-bers. It is with the knowledge of having com-pleted a highly successful year that they bid each other, "gracias ," a n d until next year , "has ta luego."

2 r e h c k Club The enthusiastic members of the French Club

meet the second Monday of every month. The homes of the faculty advisors, Miss Nella Meyer and Mrs. Peter Prins, were the scenes for the meetings. In order to app ly knowledge of the l anguage , all conversat ion w a s conducted in French. Following the business meeting, pro-grams centering a round some p h a s e of French literature, art, music, or d r a m a were presented by various student members .

The October meet ing w a s in the form of an illustrated lecture entitled, "What Is Modern Art?" This w a s presented by the guest speaker , Mrs. Wilma Reed. In November a un ique pres-entation, "France, 1948," w a s given by m e a n s of a French television broadcas t . The condi-tion of France w a s discussed in the light of today 's nat ional affairs, literature, art, d rama, and music.

Close to one hundred students en joyed spending Christmas Eve in a gaily decora ted French Cafe, "La Rue Pigale." They were en-tertained in true French style by singing wait-ers a n d waitresses, dancers , an orchestra, a n d all other necessary a tmosphere .

The club also held joint meet ings with other campus clubs. In January the club w a s the

guest of the English Majors Club. A panel dis-cussion of the literature of the French heroine, Joan of Arc, w a s conducted with spirited en-thusiasm. In March the club invited the Phil-osophy a n d English Majors Clubs to a meet ing to hear Dr. D. Ivan Dykstra speak on the topic, "Existentialism."

The French Club was h a p p y to secure a full length French film with English titles. This movie, "Le Colonel Chaber t ," w a s a d a p t e d from a novel by Honore de Balzac. It told of the adven tures of Chaber t who w a s bur ied alive on the batt le front, a n d how he came back to his earlier surroundings to prove his identity. It w a s interesting to compare the French film tactics with those of America. All s tudents a n d townspeople who were at t racted to this movie went a w a y feeling that they h a d received something valuable .

The yea r w a s concluded with a n outdoor picnic in the spring. The business of electing officers for the following year took place at this event.

The officers of the organization for the year 1948-49 were: president , Betty Boelkins; vice-president, Roger Gunn; secretary, Hilda Baker; a n d treasurer. Norma Hungerink.

(j e r m a The G e r m a n Club, or "Deutscher Verein," is

the oldest depar tmenta l c lub on campus . Through the years since its beginning, this g roup h a s served a s a medium through which s tudents of G e r m a n might meet with one an -other to exchange their views a n d information concerning G e r m a n culture a n d l anguage . In this way , the work done in the classroom is supp lemented a n d m a d e more interesting for s tudents a n d faculty alike.

The G e r m a n Club w a s in existence dur ing the ear ly years of the college, but w a s dis-cont inued dur ing World War I. However, re-organizat ion took p lace a b o u t 1935, a n d since that time the club has been act ive on Hope's campus .

The meet ings a r e held monthly, sometimes in the chape l a n d in bui ldings on campus , but often in pr ivate homes where informality is the rule. Various p rograms of musical , literary, a n d cultural na tu re a r e presented at these meetings. Following the meetings, informal get-togethers a r e held in which G e r m a n g a m e s a r e p layed, a n d a deepe r insight into the na tu re of the G e r m a n people is given. It is this in-sight for which the G e r m a n Club strives. A s tudy of the bas ic e lements of a l a n g u a g e is

// Club

not enough to unders tand the spirit of a nation a n d its people. It is through these informal sessions that the s tudents come into contact with the G e r m a n people themselves, their writ-ings, works, a n d past imes. Thus, the s tudy of the l a n g u a g e is great ly enriched,

A further contact with the G e r m a n people is provided by writing letters to young people in Germany. Along with this, the G e r m a n Club has been a id ing young German students for the past two years with gifts of school sup-plies. These gifts a r e sent to the German Youth Association which is sponsored by the Ameri-can government in O b e r a m m e r g a u .

An occasion of great anticipation is the an -nual Chris tmas par ty which is held at the home of Miss Laura Boyd. The members en-joy an evening of Christmas music, stories, songs, a n d fellowship in the s a m e manner a s the G e r m a n youth observe the Christmas sea-son. Another highlight is the a n n u a l picnic at the close of each year. After this picnic, the members of the G e r m a n Club bid each other "Auf Wiedersehn," knowing that another suc-cessful yea r of G e r m a n Club activities ha s been completed.

supplement the regular classroom work in the field of literature. This year a series of pro-grams of varied content were p lanned a n d successfully executed by the officers a n d mem-bers of the club. Meetings were held on the third Thursday of each month at Gilmore Cot-tage.

At the first meet ing of the year in October, Dr. John Hollenbach recounted some interest-ing personal reminiscences of William Ellery Leonard, poet a n d teacher, a n d concluded his dissertation with a sensitive read ing of a por-tion of Mr. Leonard 's poem, "All Our Lives." A trip to Grand Rapids w a s successfully m a d e by the club in December for the purpose of seeing a per formance of George Bernard Shaw's play, "Pgymalion." Prior to this, at the November meeting, Mr. Shaw, a s an individual, a s a social critic, a n d a s a dramatis t was dis-cussed. The performance of the play w a s ex-cellent, a n d it w a s en joyed by all the members of the club.

The January joint meeting, with the French Club a s guests, w a s in the form of a round table discussion. The consideration showed how various English, American a n d European

authors have reac ted to Joan of Arc, a fascinat-ing character of history.

In February, in anticipation of his visit to the campus, the life a n d poetry of Dr. Edward Davidson, Professor a n d Chai rman of the De-par tment of English at Washington a n d Jeffer-son College was discussed. He is the author of the volume of poetry entitled, "Harvest of Youth."

Wherever he spoke. Dr. Davidson impressed everyone with his unique a n d earnest person-ality, a n d with his wide r ange of knowledge in the fields of poetry a n d literature. Dr. David-son also addres sed a special meeting of the faculty a n d conducted a clinic in creat ive writing. His thesis, that poetry should b e an important a n d initial part of living, w a s empha-sized by his expressive recitations. His visit was in many w a y s the high point in the club's activities for the year .

The officers of the club for the school yea r were: Sumiye Konoshima, president; Carolyn Ingham, vice-president; Glenn Van Haitsma, secretary-treasurer . Dr. DeGraaf served a s the faculty advisor, a n d w a s ab ly assisted by the faculty members of the English Department.

S o c i o l o g y Club

The Sociology Club is one of the younger c lubs on Hope's campus . Age has very little p recedence , however , for the activities of the club were filled with variety a n d interest this year . At the close of its second yea r of exis-tence a label of success could be s t amped ade-qua te ly a n d accura te ly on the organizat ion.

The club, which h a s a n act ive membersh ip of approximate ly twenty-five students, meets on the first Monday of every month. The meet-ings a r e open to all s tudents major ing in the field of sociology a n d a n y other persons who a r e interested in social work a n d its progress. More a n d more the realization of the impor-tance of social work in our world today is be-coming known. Sociology is a field which can no longer be minimized.

The meet ings this school yea r were spiced with variety. Members were privi leged to wit-ness numerous outs tanding movies. Also, ex-cellent leaders were secured from var ious fields of social work a n d their lectures were great ly apprec i a t ed a n d enjoyed. Lively dis-cussions concerning social problems a n d their implications were conducted by club members . This pract ical aspec t proved of benefit to everyone. Various field trips were p lanned which were found to b e highly educat ional a n d beneficial . Included in these w a s a jour-

ney to the county court in Allegan. The gen-eral court p rocedures were observed a n d in-teresting explanat ions were given by the men who h e a d e d the individual departments . Also, a trip w a s m a d e to Grand Rapids. Here the club members listened to a lecture given by Mr. Harold Russel, noted chiefly for his part in the film, "The Best Years of Our Lives." Mr. Russel lost both of his a rms in World War 11.

Following the lecture, a tour w a s m a d e through the G r a n d Rapids Police Department. On the tour, the police staff introduced the club to the intricacies of the law-enforcement sys-tem. This method of first-hand observance w a s found to be most helpful. Also, the club mem-bers discovered a n d learned more concerning delinquencies, their causes , a n d the ultimate effect af ter treatment. The means of treatment w a s a lso observed. Before returning to the campus , a visit w a s m a d e to the Juvenile Home of G r a n d Rapids. Again a guide conducted the student tour a n d pointed out the things of interest. Much pract ical benefit w a s derived from these trips.

Many p leasan t hours of sociability a n d re-laxation were interspersed with the regular meetings. Sociability natural ly would be a bas ic requisi te of the Sociology Club. Dr. Henry Voogd's ever-present he lp a s sponsor did much to a id the club dur ing the year .

P It i I o s o The power of man ' s ability to think is a s

yet unfa thomable . Aided by thought, m a n has risen from whatever he might have been to man the philosopher, man the scientist, man the artist, and , a b o v e all, man the prophet. Philosophy w a s b o r n w h e n t h e first man scratched his woolly h e a d a n d asked "Why'?" What might m a n be, h a d he never quest ioned life?

About twelve years a g o Donald Martin, a Hope student, ga the red a few students together who were asking that e ternal question, a n d a s a result, the Philosophy Club met at the home of Dr. Walter Van Saun, where the founders ga the red to sha re their thoughts.

The club is p roud of the records of not a few of its past m e m b e r s . D o n a l d Martin, founder of the Philosophy Club, g r a d u a t e d from Hope in '37 a n d went to the University of Michigan for g r a d u a t e study. Donald Van Liere, Hope, '39, received a Ph.D. deg ree from Indiana University, a n d is now teaching Psy-chology at that institution. Robert H. Bonthius, Hope, '40, a d d e d to his records a B.D. from San Francisco Theological Seminary in 1943, a n d a Ph.D. deg ree from Columbia in 1947. At present Dr. Bonthius is Assistant Professor of Religion at Wooster College, a n d is the

p h y Club author of "Christian Paths to Self Acceptance." Calvin De Vries, Hope, '41, is a g r a d u a t e of the New Brunswick Theological Seminary, a n d is serving a s assistant-pastor of the Fourth Pres-byter ian Church in Chicago. Allen Dykstra, Hope, '48, served a s cha i rman of the Phil-osophy Club for two years, a n d is now a Re-gents Fellowship student at the University of Michigan.

The Philosophy Club presented a series of extremely interesting pape r s beginning with a s tudy of the "History of Tolerance" which w a s r ead by Dr. Van Saun. Willard Curtis, a stu-dent at W e s t e r n T h e o l o g i c a l Seminary, presented a p a p e r concerning "Kant's Critique of Pure Reason." David Dykstra, Vergil Dyk-stra, a n d John De Vries, who h a d p repa red pape r s for special r ead ing courses under the Philosophy Department, presented their pape r s before the club. They were, respectively, "Al-bert Schweitzer, Successor a n d Critic of Kant and S h o p e n h a u e r " ; " T h e B a s i s of Kier-kegaa rd ' s Attack on Christ iandom" a n d "An Introduction to Kierkegaard, an Existentialist Philosopher."

Officers for 1948-49 were Edwin Nelson, president, Burrell Pennings, vice-president.

C h e m i s t r y Club

Once a month the Chemistry Club meets to br ing together those chemistry majors who in-tend to make chemistry their profession. When the regular bus iness of the club h a s been trans-acted, the meet ing is b rought to its climax b y research papers . These a r e r e a d by senior member s of the c lub a n d concern significant topics in the field of chemistry. The p a p e r s a r e a u g m e n t e d by talks given by professionals in this specific field. In the spr ing the club also takes a field trip; the pu rpose of this trip is to visit industry a n d to see chemistry a s it is prac-ticed, This h a s b e e n a tradit ional p rocedure for the twenty-six yea r s that the Chemistry Club h a s been in existence. It w a s originally organized by thirteen chemistry majors to "en-c o u r a g e the s tudy of chemistry at Hope Col-

lege a n d to pe rpe tua te a fraternal spirit a m o n g its members ."

Under the guiding h a n d s of Dr. Van Zyl, Dr. Kleinheksel, a n d Prof. Vander Ploeg, the organizat ion h a s become a part of the depar t -ment of chemistry a n d serves to unite its mem-bers in their common interest. It also serves to provide an extra-curricular app roach to chem-istry, to quicken interest in g r a d u a t e work, a n d to p r epa re its members for work in g r a d u a t e studies a n d in their profession.

As a n extension of these aims, the Chemistry Club expects to become a n affiliate of the American Chemical Society. This will provide a closer link with the profession with which the club members will b e identified in later years.

U i oIo g y Club The Biology Club of Hope College, under the

c a p a b l e leadership of President George Zuid e-ma, gave its members dur ing the past year the most var ied a n d educat ional types of programs in its history.

The club, consisting of biology majors a n d pre-medical s tudents mainta ining a "B" aver-age , en joyed diversified scientific films a n d va-rious speakers which included domestic prac-ticing scientists a n d those e n g a g e d in mission-a ry work. One of the highlights of the year ' s activities w a s the club's visit to the Upjohn Pharmaceut ical Company a n d the Kalamazoo State Hospital. At both of these institutions, a thorough tour w a s m a d e of the premises a n d complete information w a s given to the club members.

The second highlight of the year w a s the meeting at which the physicians of Holland a n d the surrounding a r e a were the guests of the Biology Club. Two outs tanding medical films

on the latest techniques of surgery were se-cured from the Lahey Clinic in Boston for this meeting. After the presentat ion of the film, a social hour followed in which the practical side of medicine a n d biology w a s reviewed a n d discussed for the benefit of the club mem-bers.

Also, dur ing the spring term, p lans were formulated a n d a c t i o n t a k e n to unite the Biology Club with a National Biology Honor-a ry Fraternity.

The Biology Club w a s founded with the pur-pose of fulfilling three objectives. First, to aid in furthering the scientific information of its members; second, to p r o p a g a t e the necessity a n d value of Biology to the campus a n d com-munity; third, to endow its members with a Christian philosophy of science. With Dr. Teunis Vergeer 's excellent guidance, the Biology Club ended its school year having completed its goal most successfully.

Jnternattonal Relations Throughout the year , International Relations

Club meets to provoke serious thought a n d discussion a b o u t the world situation. These discussions h a v e centered a r o u n d the Indones-ian question, the m e n a c e of "Red" China, Com-munism in India, a n d the North Atlantic Secur-ity Pact. Along with these meetings, the club endeavor s to br ing to the c a m p u s special speakers who a r e authori t ies in their respec-tive fields. This enab le s all s tudents to become better a c q u a i n t e d with the problems a n d possi-bilities which chal lenge them today.

Each yea r the club holds informative a n d interesting meet ings with the l.R.C. Club from G r a n d Rapids Junior College. Another of the special interests this yea r w a s the part icipat ion of several Hope s tudents in the Model United Nations Conference held at Hillsdale College.

The highlight of the yea r came, however , with the a t t endance of five Hope de lega tes to the Foreign Policy Conference a t Columbus,

Ohio. The de lega tes were a sked to formulate resolutions which they would like to have adopted . These were thoroughly discussed at the conference. The proposal presented by the Hope delegat ion, with reference to the North Atlantic Security Pact, w a s one of the few to be passed . The adop t ed measures were then sent to their respective committees in the United States Congress. Thus we see that l.R.C. can do something worthwhile, a n d that the discussion- meet ings bea r fruit.

The club has also been active in sponsoring pane l discussions, a n d in furnishing speakers for var ious organizat ions in the city a s well a s in ne ighbor ing communities.

in 1946, Prior to that yea r minor a i lments were t rea ted within the confines of the nurse ' s dormi-tory room, a n d more ser ious cases were re-ferred to local physicians. In September , 1947, A b r a h a m Leenhouts, M.D., g r a d u a t e of the University of Michigan, hav ing just ret ired from active pract ice in Holland, w a s a sked to be-come the first college physician. He brought to the c a m p u s not only his egu ipment a n d knowledge, but a lso a listening ea r a n d a friendly, Christ ian phi losophy which has en-d e a r e d him to many .

In February , 194 7, Jennie Spoelstra, R.N., of Presbyter ian Hospital, Chicago, Illinois, a n d a g r a d u a t e of Hope College, ar r ived to relieve the stress of the clinic responsibilities, a n d to organize it to meet more fully the s tudents ' needs.

D i n i n g M a l i W o r k e r s Since Hope 's enrollment increased by leaps

a n d b o u n d s af ter the war , m a n y things h a v e c h a n g e d on the campus , a n d Hope ' s dining halls a r e no exception.

The dining hall workers a r e a vital par t in college life. This per ta ins especial ly to the out-of-town s tudents w h o ea t a t either Temple or Voorhees Dining Halls. Mr. Rein Visscher is director of both ea t ing establ ishments .

Temple Dining Hall employs forty-two col-lege s tudents a n d fourteen regu la r help, a n d Voorhees Hall main ta ins a staff of e ighteen col-lege people a n d seven full-time employees .

To see to it that every person is served, Tem-ple h a s two peop le serving a s h e a d wai ters a n d one h e a d waitress, a n d Voorhees h a s one h e a d waitress. Walter Boerman a n d Clayton Van Hall a r e head -wa i t e r s a n d Mrs. Marie Languis is head-wai t ress a t Temple while Betty Weave r is serving a s head-wai t ress a t Voor-hees.

Others who work in the dining halls include

waiters, d ishwashers , cooks, those who set the tables, a n d others who p r epa re the sa l ads a n d the fancy trimmings.

Even with the la rge amoun t of s tudents w h o ea t a t the halls three times a day , a n d the large a m o u n t of work enta i led in p repa r ing a meal, the dining hall workers a r e a l w a y s r e a d y a n d willing to do their work cheerfully. Their d a y is a busy one a n d the work necess i ta tes two shifts of cooks a n d kitchen he lp at both of the college dining halls.

Students w h o h a v e worked in the dining halls, a n d h a v e become acqua in t ed with the operat ion of these two places, know that it takes cooperat ion a n d a willing a t t i tude to make it a success. Imagine, if you can, count-ing out over three h u n d r e d knives, forks a n d spoons, to s ay nothing of p la tes a n d g lasses in Temple dining hall.

Although there is a lot of work a n d the work is not so easy , the dining hall workers accep t their responsibility in a cheerful manner .

The govern ing b o d y of all the fraternit ies on c a m p u s is the Inter-Fraternity Council. As the fraternit ies a r e l a rge in membersh ip , a n d it is of ten difficult to ar r ive readi ly at a conclusion on mat ters pe r ta in ing to inter-fraternity affairs, it h a s b e e n found expedient to main ta in a cen-tral council.

The Inter-Fraternity Council is compr ised of two m e m b e r s from e a c h fraterni ty on campus , a n d is sponsored b y Dean Milton Hinga. The ten fraterni ty represen ta t ives a n d Dean Hinga d iscuss the var ious gues t ions which ar i se dur-ing the year . The conclusions they r each a r e then r e l ayed back to the va r ious g roups repre-sented . It h a s genera l ly b e e n a c c e p t e d in the pas t to h a v e the fraternit ies a b i d e by the de-cisions r e a c h e d by the council.

Among its m a n y duties, the council must superv i se rushing, b i d d i n g , a n d initiating. These, in addi t ion to the minor ques t ions aris-ing constantly, fill the a g e n d a .

Another important capac i ty se rved by the council is that of organiz ing a n d supervis ing inter-fraternity sports. Basketball , bowling, Softball, a n d other forms of recrea t ion p lay a n important role in the fraterni ty activities for the year .

The Inter-Fraternity Council h a s b e e n l ikened to the Congress of the United Sta tes in so far a s the men of the council a r e represen t ing their fraternities, a n d m a k e the laws a n d regula t ions govern ing the societies. This is true, for the fraternity represen ta t ives a r e just that. The de-cisions they r each a r e j u d g e d to b e the best for all concerned.

r n i t y C o u n c i l

It is e::cent.al that ha rmony a n d coopera t ion exist b e t w e e n the fraternit ies a n d the adminis -tration. In his capac i ty a s sponsor of the council. Dean Hinga provides the contact n e e d e d with the administrat ion. As compact groups, uni ted b e c a u s e of common interests, a n d with fellowship a s their pr ime object, the fraternit ies can do much good for Hope Col-lege. The fraternit ies can benefit from the a d -ministration, a n d the adminis t ra t ion can bene -fit from the fraternities. It is through the med ium of the Inter-Fraternity Council that these things can b e accomplished.

Dean Hinga 's advice is highly va lued

The Pan-Hellenic Board is comprised of two elected member s from each of the sororities on campus . With M i s s L a u r a Boyd a n d Miss Emma Reeverts, Dean of Women, a s directors, the b o a r d solves var ious important issues. The b o a r d makes the rules, forms the policies of all the sororities on campus , a n d discusses m a n y other problems which ar ise dur ing the year .

In the beg inn ing of the school yea r it is this b o d y that de termines the d a t e of the Round Robin Tea, a n d publ ishes rules per ta in ing to rush-ing a n d b idd ing sophomore a n d transfer stu-dents. Also, a list of girls desir ing to be long to a sorority is given to e ach sorority president. This is a proof aga ins t unconsciously eliminat-ing a girl from becoming a sorority member .

At a n y time ques t ions m a y b e b rought be-fore the b o a r d a n d this g r o u p uses every m e a n s possible in finding a solution to the situation. O n e problem which is be ing worked out by the g r o u p is the method of selecting p ledges for the var ious sororities. This par-ticular ins tance involves all the sororities a n d it is with the idea of mak ing the p ledg ing p rocedure more uniform that Pan-Hellenic is seeking an accep t ab l e compromise. The b o a r d a l r e a d y has d iscussed this problem a n d h a s rece ived sugges t ions from each sorority per-ta ining to the methods now in existence.

Pan-Hellenic occasional ly meets with the Inter-Fraternity Council to discuss i tems that concern both the men a n d the women ' s so-cities.

Under the c a p a b l e g u i d a n c e of President Jean Brunstetter, t h e P a n - H e l l e n i c Board worked efficiently in serving the sororities dur-ing the pas t year .

K a p p a Beta Phi would like to sha r e with you a Dorian Revival of this pas t yea r ' s events. Having m a d e its d e b u t in 1921, the perform-a n c e h a s g rown bet ter with every succeed ing year . The house lights of the Present dim a n d the s t a g e lights of the Past g row br ighter a s the cur ta in rises on the First Act.

The set t ing is the fall of '48, a n d director at the time w a s Betty Har r i s , w h o w a s a b l y ass i s ted b y Betty Ann Koch. Script writer w a s Esther Schmidt a n d co-f inancers w e r e Bea Folkert a n d Peg Moerdyke. The First Scene recalls a g a l a house pa r ty held dur ing the open ing week of school a t the co t t age of Dorian Mary Kooyers. Dorian Betty Harris, with her h a n d y camera ,

c a p t u r e d the high-lights of those two eventful d a y s which were r e p r o d u c e d in a set of hilar-ious snapshots .

The Second Scene revea l s a show within a show. It's the 'Round Robin Tea" with Dorians p resen t ing a musical skit for the enter ta inment of all n e w sophomores a n d prospect ive p ledges . All p l edges looked forward to "Slave W e e k " — or ra ther to the end of "Slave W e e k " — a n d all mas te r s a g r e e d that the b a r g a i n s in the s lave marke t were bet ter this yea r than ever before. Following informal ceremonies , the more ser ious a n d impressive formal initiation took p lace in the sorority room.

With the a d d e d s tars in the p rogram, the Third Scene discloses the d a w n of Homecom-ing w h e n all Dorians a n d their A lumnae ga th-e red together for a n ear ly morning breakfas t at the Dutch Mill res taurant . Then the Dorians a t t e n d e d the a n n u a l Homecoming p a r a d e to a d d to the a l r e a d y overf lowing college spirit. Next s top w a s the a f te rnoon football g a m e which the Dorians wi tnessed a s a g r o u p in t radi t ional manner . With the coming of Thanks-giving, the First Act comes to a close a n d all unan imous ly ag ree , it w a s a fine beginning.

The Second Act follows shortly with Director Joan Wilson taking over a n d Esther Schmidt assist ing. Beth Thomson b e c o m e s script writer a n d Bea Folkert a n d Peg Moerdyke remain co-financers. The First Scene takes p lace a t Chris tmas-t ime when all g a t h e r e d for a hol iday par ty a t the home of a l u m n a Eleanor Van Dahm. Dorians p l a y e d S a n t a Claus to a fam-ily of twelve in Kentucky a n d p a c k e d boxes of food, toys, a n d clothes to b e sent to them.

The Second Scene introduces the New Year a n d the winter formal, "Continental Carousel" , which w a s held in the Continental Room of the Hotel Pantl ind in G r a n d Rapids. A delicious dinner pa r ty w a s m a d e especial ly en joyab l e by the c o m p a n y of select guests .

St. Valent ine 's Day is the romant ic scene of the Second Act which a d d s a bit of sentiment to the show. A hol iday par ty w a s held in the Dorian room with re f reshments served af ter the "hea r ty" p rogram.

The Third Act of the K a p p a Beta Phi Revival w a s s t a g e d from March to June, a n d included such unforge t tab le scenes a s the Dorian contri-but ion to the Penny Carnival , par t ic ipat ion in the All-College Sing, a n d the spr ing informal par ty.

Sibs hold a b reakfas t mee t ing Toussaint a n d Brunsting go "Dutch"

Sibyls g a t h e r e d together at a jolly s lumber par ty on the eve of Convocat ion a t Cool Edge Inn on M a c a t a w a shores. Singing a n d laughter filled the g rea te r par t of the day , but p lans were a lso discussed enthusiast ical-ly for the forthcoming year .

In the first special event of the year , the '"Round Robin Tea," Sibyls p resen ted the latest in the enter ta inment field, "Television," in which they sponsored a b roadcas t for hopefuls .

Beautiful wea the r a c c o m p a n i e d the "four-mile" hike, on which twenty- two member s were cordially we lcomed b y their n e w "sisters."

Yet, to sea l the b o n d of friendship, a formal initiation w a s solemnly held. Each n e w mem-ber w a s p resen ted with a Sib Rose a n d oath, a n d rece ived the pin of a n old m e m b e r a s symbols of Sibyl a l legiance .

Late in October c a m e "Homecoming," at which the current member s gree ted their faithful a l u m n a e at the year ly Brunch. Amid much reminiscence a n d enlightenings, Sibyllines did m a n a g e to ea t a little.

'"Life a b u n d a n t " is one of the a ims of the Sibyls a n d they s tar ted the n e w y e a r pur su ing it.

The yea r w a s b e g u n with an "Old Times Review" a t the Rowe Hotel at which the Sibyls d ined a n d re laxed to their hear t ' s content.

In the springtime, all the Sibs were kept busy . They g a t h e r e d together once more for "the development of the body ." A fun-packed d a y in the out-of-doors w a s c l imaxed by p lay ing games .

Never to b e forgotten were the joint meet ings held with other sororities a n d fraternities. Sybils found them to be enl ightening a n d enriching.

Ends must come to all good things) But that is not so with all Sibyls. For, w h e n the seniors g r a d u a t e d , they h a d a l r e a d y met a n d h a d b e c o m e r e -acqua in t ed with member s of the A lumnae a t the spr ing tea.

So, "farewells were softly spoken" on the shores of M a c a t a w a a t the overnight house par ty. Fourteen seniors left the ranks. New officers w e r e chosen to l ead Sibyls through the tests of the n e w year . To their high ideals of purity of the mind, body, a n d spirit, the Sibyls r ep l edged themselves.

Sorosis h a v e a n informal chat at a formal par ty Pledge Van Kolken takes the oath

Sigma Sigma, the first es tab l i shed sorority on campus , looks b a c k upon a yea r of team-work, a n d the score is m a r k e d with signs of success a n d fun.

Sophomores w e r e en te r ta ined in typical French style at the "'Round Robin Tea," Bids h a v i n g b e e n accep ted , the door w a s o p e n e d to n e w p ledges at a n af ter -church supper . The following week, the p l edges m a s q u e r a d e d a n d were en te r ta ined most informally, af ter which they w e r e sold qui te inexpensively a s slaves. Formal initiation held the accus tomed dignity a n d impress iveness a s e ach p l edge par took in the lighting of her cand le from the S igma S igma Crest.

The A l u m n a e joined in a Homecoming lunch-eon at the Tulip Room in the W a r m Friend Hotel. Memories of former d a y s joyously c a m e to life. Following the luncheon, all Sorosites a t t e n d e d the Homecoming football game , a n d proudly d i sp layed the t radi t ional chrysanthe-mums a n d S igma S igma colors.

December w a s a perfect month for Sorosis a s gues t s w e r e en te r ta ined a t the Pantl ind Hotel in G r a n d Rapids. "Festival Airs" pe rme-a t e d the even ing in the t rue spirit of Chr is tmas a n d in the spirit of the "Gold a n d White." The Chr is tmas Tea a n d li terary meet ing crept into the hear t s of all Sorosites. As carols w e r e s u n g in the candle- l ighted room, feelings of uni ted ties r an th rough e a c h member , a n d each wished the other a h a p p y hol iday.

Sorosites g a t h e r e d at the American Legion Country Club a s the fleeting spirit of Dutch Treat Week passed . This w a s Valentine d a t e night for that one a n d only.

As Spring a p p r o a c h e d , fullest efforts w e r e put forth for par t ic ipat ion in the All-College Sing. The Sorosites p roved that their tradi-tional ha rmony in spirit w a s s u r p a s s e d only by their h a r m o n y of voice a s "Wiegenl ied" w a s rendered .

The informal spr ing pa r ty a n d the t radi t ional Senior G r a d u a t i o n Breakfast w e r e the high-lights of the Spr ing adventure . By meet ing with other sororities a n d fraternities, S igma S igma w a s a b l e to live u p to another ideal, that of f r iendship b e y o n d its circle.

Since its beg inn ing in 1906, S i g m a S igma h a s stood for s t rength a n d honor, a n d a t the end of ano the r year , Sorosites a r e still found to b e willing, solicitous, a n d trustworthy — working a n d p lay ing together a s a team.

Spending a few moments in the l ibrary one day , the Thesaur ians discovered a book bea r -ing the title "Theta Tales," 1948-49. A g lance w a s given first to the Table of Contents a n d it w a s found ra ther intriguing. "A Douglas Cot-t a g e " w a s the scene of the Theta housepar ty . It w a s a lovely cot tage, p ic turesque a n d roomy, a n d so conducive for s leep or for talk. Despite food a n d fun, p lans were laid for the next chapter , "Round Robin Tea." Everyone worked together for the interest of this chapter , with Betty De Ryke a s the author , Kay Ponstine a s her assistant , Shirley De Boer a s li terary edi-tor, a n d Bernie Nichols hand l ing the copyright fees.

" W e a r y Bones" h e a d s the next chap te r a s Thetas a n d their p ledges r o u n d e d the marshes on the "four-mile hike." Shrieks filled the air a s an occas ional snake w a s encountered , but "all 's well that ends well," a n d this chap te r w a s concluded a s b a r b e c u e s , hot chocolate , ice cream, a n d cherry pie w e r e en joyed.

The next chap te r went to the d e e p South for "Slave Week." Slaves r o a m e d over the aristocratic mans ions of Voorhees a n d Van Vleck a n d the suites of the old member s took on "new looks" a s a result of much scrubbing. The little maids then g a t h e r e d in the spac ious dining room for formal initiation, receiving cor-s a g e s of white carna t ions a s they r e p e a t e d the p l edge of loyalty.

"Outweighed , O u t p l a y e d " br ings to mind that exciting Homecoming week-end. A de-licious breakfas t w a s en joyed with the a lum-n a e at the Dutch Mill res taurant , a n d a n im-portant announcemen t w a s m a d e concerning the n e w Alumnae organizat ion.

Freshmen girls ga ther for a "gab- fes t" in West Hall

Just a s a n y other sorority or fraternity on the campus , a n Alumni b reakfas t w a s held. The only miss-ing factor w a s the lack of a n y Alumni; how-ever, fun prevai led. The a n n u a l All-College Sing w a s a cha l l enge to the musical ta lents which re igned high in the group.

Under the a b l e l eade r sh ip of efficient offi-cers, A lpha S igma Alpha w a s organized. It w a s b e c a u s e of the abil i ty of the officers that the meet ings w e r e so very interest ing a n d worthwhile. To the first semester president , Doris Adams, the credit is d u e for the smooth beg inn ing meet ings which were the most dif-ficult. Under her a b l e l eadersh ip Alpha S igma

Alpha w a s s tar ted in the right paths . Acknowl-e d g e m e n t is a lso d u e to the sophomores w h o he lped in the beg inn ing of the year . All the officers w e r e most c a p a b l e a n d their leader-ship w a s very satisfactory. To these officers a n d to the advisor , Miss Norma Wolcott, in-structor in Spanish, the f reshmen girls give their deepes t apprec ia t ion .

O n e of the most successful events of the yea r w a s the informal pa r ty which w a s held on Janua ry fifteenth at the Women ' s Literary Club. The title g iven to the pa r ty w a s the "Sock Hop." Naturally, the theme of the par ty cen te red a r o u n d "socks." Not only were the coats checked a t the door, but a lso the shoes. Everyone spent the even ing in "sock feet." The formal pa r ty w a s also a g r a n d success. It w a s held on the twenty-ninth of April a t the Wom-en 's Literary Club.

It w a s the coopera t ion which w a s rece ived from the f reshmen girls that m a d e all the activ-ities of Alpha S igma Alpha successful this year . The pas t yea r h a s truly b e e n grand . It not only h a s b e e n of benefi t to its members , bu t a lso to the col lege a s a whole. It h a s b e e n a full year , a n d a n act ive one.

De Young puts on a n act Even the Old White Hen w a s "rel ieved" after Homecoming

Arcad ians b e g a n the yea r with a rip-roar-ing time at Tunnel Park the seventeenth of September . This w a s a s tag par ty with plenty of food, songs, a n d laughter , c l imaxed with a campfi re song-fest on the beach .

Chi Phi S igma then settled down to more ser ious duties, such a s choosing addi t ional member s from the vast store of n e w Hope-ites a n d bui lding the "Old White Hen" for Home-coming.

This yea r Arcad ians exper ienced their first Alumni Breakfast a t Homecoming time. This s eemed a bit u n u s u a l to some b e c a u s e the fra-ternity h a s only b e e n in existence for a per iod of two a n d one-half years . However, there is a continual g rowing list of frat brothers w h o a r e no longer on the campus . Four of the Alumni a t t ended the breakfas t a long with forty hungry members .

Regular elections were held in January . David Dykstra succeeded Ted Flaherty in the office of president , Marvin Kragt r ep laced Floyd Goulooze a s vice-president, Elton Bruins w a s elected secre tary in p lace of Walter Studdiford, a n d Bill Flaherty w a s elected to the t reasurer ' s post, which h a d b e e n v a c a t e d by President Dykstra.

In January, the a n n u a l winter formal pa r ty took place. The theme w a s "Sentimental Jour-n e y " a n d the G r a n d Central Station w a s the Morton House in G r a n d Rapids. Everyone a g r e e d that the par ty w a s a h u g e success a n d its memories shall l inger long in the hear t s of all present .

A special p rog ram of interest w a s the presen-tation of motion picture p rograms cal led the World Adventure Series. This project rapidly b e c a m e a regular par t of c a m p u s a n d com-munity life. All p roceeds were used for the

jES)

Arcadian

purpose of b u y i n g CARE packages , a b o u t thirty of which h a v e b e e n purchased .

Arcad ians en joyed taking par t in m a n y other p rog rams a n d activities in the communi ty a s well a s a t the college. Representa t ives partici-p a t e d in inter-fraternity sports. May Day sports events, a n d the wea r ing of "de b l a u w e Hol-landse Broek" in the Tulip Time p a r a d e . Tak-ing par t in the street sc rubb ing h a s b e e n an a n n u a l event for the Arcad ians since 1947. And just like m a n y other Hope-ites, fraternity men were often found t ramping the tradit ional old "four-mile hike" a long Black River on a nice S u n d a y af ternoon.

O n e of the a n n u a l important events on Hope 's c a m p u s is the All-College Sing. The Arcad ian fraternity worked m a n y hours before the rendition of "Winter Song," a n d efforts were fruitfully a w a r d e d w h e n the prized t rophy a s a symbol of first-place honor w a s presen ted to Director Kenneth Leest ma .

Chi Phi S igma has exper ienced a most suc-cessful a n d en joyab l e year . Fraternity ties h a v e b o u n d the men in the true spirit of broth-erhood, a n d benefi ts h a v e b e e n der ived b y the men, b y the campus , a n d by the com-munity.

Alpha

This pas t school yea r of 1948-49 c a n b e m a r k e d a s ano ther very successful yea r for Phi K a p p a Alpha. In t rue Cosmopol i tan tradi-tion, the fraterni ty r a n k e d high on the campus , both in scholast ics a n d in athletics.

The Cosmopol i tans m a d e a very fine start in the beg inn ing of the n e w yea r b y p ledg ing a fine a n d c a p a b l e g r o u p of y o u n g men. The officers for the fall term set a very lively p a c e with Timothy Harrison a s president , a n d Clay-ton Van Hall ass is t ing him in the capac i ty of vice-president . The secre tar ia l work w a s ab ly h a n d l e d by Allison Van Zyl. Robert Becksfort se rved a s t reasurer for the year . Mr. Clyde Geerl ing, director of Hope Col lege Publicity, a g a i n consented to serve a s sponsor of the society.

The rush ing s ea son w a s c l imaxed with ini-tiations, both informal a n d formal. The n e w m e m b e r s g a v e their solemn vow to the time-honored principles of Friendship, Truth, a n d Progress. The first term proved to b e a very b u s y one for m e m b e r s of Phi K a p p a Alpha, for they en te red wholehear ted ly into the cus-tom of initiating f reshmen, voicing yells a s a unit at the varsi ty football games , a n d enjoy-ing m a n y informal part ies , informal meet ings .

a n d other worthwhile li terary activities.

Rounding the turn in the backstretch, the winning pace r s were Clayton Van Hall for wielding the gavel , Geo rge Zuidema a s vice-pres ident a n d p rog ram chai rman, a n d Harlan Failor a s secretary. At the beg inn ing of the n e w semester , the Cosmopol i tans took a "Sen-timental Journey" to the Occidenta l Hotel in Muskegon. This winter 's formal par ty w a s a t rue shining success for Cosmos a n d their guests .

Cosmopol i tans a g a i n acqu i red m a n y high ra t ings in the inter-fraternity activities. The "B" League baske tba l l t e am w a s honored in winning the Inter-Fraternity baske tba l l cham-pionship. The All-College Sing w a s another highlight of the season with the fraterni ty giv-ing a very fine showing of excellent harmony.

The fraternity e leva ted itself to a high posi-tion this yea r for in the latter par t of Feb rua ry a third floor apa r tmen t in one of the down-town bui ld ings w a s secured for the fraternity 's use. A grea t dea l of diligent work soon trans-formed it into a very hospi table lounge. The lounge b e c a m e a definite b ind ing force in br inging the fraternity member s into closer co-operai ion.

Phi K a p p a Alpha fea tured its colors in truly championsh ip fashion for the homestretch. Spr ing sports were en tered with a g rea t dea l of vigor. Cosmos also g a v e their all to the May Day activities. The Spring Party p roved to b e a fine finis to the yea r ' s activities. A most e n j o y a b l e mea l coupled with top enter ta inment provided a h a p p y conclusion. Thus, ano ther yea r in the Cosmopol i tan history can b e filed a w a y with fond memories. Phi K a p p a Alpha ' s fervent hope is that the future can br ing a s much joy a s this yea r h a s afforded.

The nineteenth yea r of Emersonian on Hope ' s c a m p u s w a s another Milestone in the princi-ples of Love, Honor, Freedom, a n d Success.

Homecoming provided the opportuni ty for act ive m e m b e r s a n d a lumni s p a c e to r enew fr iendships at the a lumni banque t . The Emmie S tag Smoker a t the Marquee w a s ano ther high point of the fall term. The Thursday even ing before Christ-m a s w a s the scene of the a n n u a l Chris tmas par ty a n d dorm caroling. The "Emmie" Santa , arr iving a t the girls' dorms, w a s warmly wel-comed.

Ushering in the n e w year , the winter term officers took over the reins of Emersonian. Rus-sell Norden served a s president , with Cra ig Van Zanten officiating a s vice-president. A var ied a n d interesting g r o u p of meet ings w a s p lanned . On the even ing of J anua ry twenty-one, Emmies a n d their guests, af ter dining, gazed upon "Emersonian Portraits" a t the an -nua l winter formal par ty held in the V.F.W. Hall in Holland. This w a s one of those never to b e forgotten evenings which a r e charac ter -istic of Emersonian winter part ies.

Members of Fra ternal Society conc luded an-other highly successful year , the one h u n d r e d a n d fifteenth of its history. The oldest fraterni ty on Hope ' s campus , a n d the sixth oldest Greek-letter fraterni ty in the United States, proudly took its p l ace of honor in the activities of the pas t school year .

G u i d e d by the Frater theme "Few a n d Chosen ," act ives p l e d g e d twenty n e w m e m b e r s w h o w e r e enthusias t ical ly init iated into the rea lms of O.K.E. "Leonidus" w a s once more e x h u m e d to impress f reshmen with the a g e a n d sagac i ty of the organizat ion. Refresh-ments w e r e se rved a la car te , with marshmal -lows for dessert .

Old g r a d s a n d y o u n g p l edges sat shoulder to shoulder a t the first pa r ty of the season , which followed the Homecoming football g a m e in October . The affair , which w a s a g a i n held at the Count ry Club, p roved to b e very success-ful. Formal initiation w a s conduc ted in Novem-ber by first term pres ident Howie Koop, w h o re l inguished the gave l following the ce remony to newly e lected pres ident Paul Hinkamp.

Frater Alumni led the w a y in 1949, a n d he lped the act ive organiza t ion establ ish itself in the n e w Club rooms in d o w n t o w n Holland. Fraters once a g a i n scored a first in accommo-

da t ing their own. The club w a s completely furnished with the he lp of local bus iness es tab-lishments a n d furniture houses , a n d will b e ma in ta ined until Fraters secure a home of their own.

Highlight of the winter s eason w a s the formal par ty , held in the Louis XV Room of the Rowe Hotel. Ably c h a p e r o n e d by a lumnus , sponsor Don Zwemer, a n d coach Russ De Vette, the "Frater Supper C lub" p roved to b e a n extremely zestful affair.

The a n n u a l Washing ton Day S tag w a s a g a i n held in the M a r q u e e in a n a tmosphe re of ten-derloins, a lumni, a n d festive song. An extreme-ly well- thought-out p a p e r on "Bottles" w a s pre-sen ted by a l u m n u s John K. Vanden Broek. Three n e w p ledges w e r e welcomed in March, a n d two joint meetings, one with Sorosis a n d one with the Emersonians, highl ighted the en-g a g e m e n t s of the month. Hie a n n u a l All-Col-lege Sing took p lace March 11th a n d Fraternal , a b l y di rected b y Don Evers, c a p t u r e d a n hon-o rab le fourth position. The glee c lub r ende red their version of "Old Man River" by Jerome Kern.

President Hinkamp re l inquished the gave l to Don Evers w h o led the fraternity to a success-ful conclusion of another year . Highlighted b y the fifth Annua l Frater Frolics, given three nights in May before enthusiast ic aud iences , the m e m b e r s a n d gues t s closed ano ther pa r ty chap te r with the spr ing festivity. The tradi-tional S w a n Song conc luded y e a r 1948-49 in the history of Omicron K a p p a Epsilon.

So p a s s e d another season in many ; typical, yet outs tanding , a season of successes, friend-ships, a n d l eadersh ip on campus . A dozen seniors left the ranks with a s s u r a n c e of a job well done, a n d a p l edge from act ives to keep the sun of the Fra ternal crest continually in a s c e n d a n c e .

The "da te nights" were in terspersed on the social ca lendar . As usual , the Knicker-bockers par t ic ipa ted in the All-College Sing, this yea r giving a rendition of "Meadowland . " Climaxing the yea r of Knickerbocker social events w a s the " C a n d y l a n d Carnival ," the an-nua l formal winter pa r ty held at the Morton House in G r a n d Rapids. The second semester w a s topped by the informal spr ing par ty which, to those present , will be a source of memories for some time to come.

Knickerbocker t eams were in act ion in all p h a s e s of the in t ramural sports program, a n d were noted for their tenaci ty a n d fine sports-manship . Twice dur ing the school yea r the tradit ional "Black a n d Blue" colors of p ledg ing b e c a m e the b a n n e r s that led prospect ive mem-bers to the fraternity.

The literary meet ings a n d the ever-present bus iness meet ings were dutifully a n d excel-lently gu ided by President Phillip Meengs a n d Vice-President Harold Grissen dur ing the first semester , a n d by President War ren Eickelberg a n d Vice-President Roy W a l c h e n b a c h dur ing the second semester .

Hope's Homecoming week-end w a s one of the best in the school 's history. Three perfect days , p a c k e d with activities, beckoned to Hope 's m a n y a lumni w h o c a m e from all pa r t s of the world to en joy the festivities held on October 29-31.

Four o'clock Friday af te rnoon found the b a n k s of Black River lined with eager , anx ious s tudents a n d alumni, awa i t i ng the a n n u a l Frosh-Soph pull across the icy waters . The men worked h a r d a n d the Frosh "morale boos te rs" did their best, but the Sophs won the first event of homecoming week-end.

Fr iday night, in spite of the h e a v y down-pour, a p e p rally w a s held, this yea r with a new innovation — that of the crowning of the Homecoming Queen . Early in the fall, it w a s dec ided that someone other than the May Day Q u e e n should reign for this week-end. Consequent ly , each class chose two girls a s their cand ida t e s for this distinction. From this g r o u p a committee of s tudents a n d faculty members m a d e the final selection. Thus, a t the p e p rally Miss Toni Fredricks, Muskegon Senior, w a s c rowned Homecoming Q u e e n by Gordon Timmerman, with the Misses Dorothy Contant , Lois England, G w e n Kooiker, Doris Koskamp, Molly Ryan, Delpha Siebers, a n d Mary Van Loo forming her court.

Sa tu rday morning found m a n y of the sorori-ties on c a m p u s enter ta ining their a lumni at breakfas t , a n d then everyone rushed down-

town to view the p a r a d e , which w a s of excep-tional cal iber this year . The Freshman class won first prize with their "Cannibal is t ic" scene a n d the Cosmopol i tan Fraternity c a m e in sec-ond with their por t raya l of the Old North Church a n d the midnight r ide of Paul Revere, the theme being, "The Britons a r e coming!"

Yes, " they came, they saw, a n d they w e r e conquered . " Albion w a s defea ted , 33-6, on a w a r m lazy af ternoon before a c rowd of sev-era l t housand people.

After the game , Hope 's a lumni ga the red in the par lors of Hope Reformed Church for a buffet supper . Gues t s were present from m a n y different states, a n d delightful informality plus a b u n d a n c e of chat ter a n d laughter prevai led a s fr iendships were renewed .

On S a t u r d a y evening m a n y of the fraterni-ties held special meet ings in honor of their alumni. Others spent an en joyab l e evening visiting the var ious dormitories a n d admir ing the decorat ions. Fa i rbanks Cot tage won first prize a m o n g the girls' dorms a n d T-Dorm cap-tured it for the fellows.

S u n d a y af te rnoon 's vesper service, which w a s held in the Chapel , w a s p a c k e d with both " a lumni a n d students. An inspiring,, re laxing p rogram w a s presen ted by the Music Depart-ment, — a n d then it w a s over, the busy , but en joyab l e week-end.

Sing h a s b e e n a g rea t success. This inspiring d i sp lay of s tudent coopera t ion a n d friendly competi t ion h a s p roved a source of delight for all w h o at tend. To see a n All-College Sing is to see American youth strikingly por t rayed , for all the e lements of democra t ic life a r e to b e found in this contest.

The All-College Sing provides excellent stu-dent par t ic ipat ion dur ing the school year .

Every sorority a n d fraternity on the c a m p u s enters the contest, a n d one of the rules of the contest is that every g r o u p must enter all its m e m b e r s in the contest. In this way , m a n y stu-dents h a v e a chance to par t ic ipa te in a n event which annua l ly secures for itself a g rea te r pres-tige on Hope ' s campus .

technique, selection, direction, a n d genera l ef-fect be ing the main elements.

The Sing is entirely the possession of the students. The g roups select their songs, their leaders , a n d the Sing itself is directed by stu-dent chairmen. There a r e no exper ts in the Sing; all a r e amateur s , a n d the finished prod-uct is the result of m a n y hours of practice.

The All-College Sing this yea r w a s excep-tionally noteworthy in so far a s there were ties for first p lace a m o n g both sororities a n d fra-ternities. The final decision, however , p laced Delta Phi Sorority a s first p lace winner a m o n g the sororities, a n d the Arcad ian Society a m o n g

the fraternities. Second p lace contestants were Sorosis Sorority, a n d the Emersonian Frater-nity. Gold cups were presen ted to the winners .

The success of e ach All-College Sing is de-penden t upon cooperat ion, but the grea tes t single factor contr ibuting to this success is the boundless en thus iasm of the s tudent body. And typical of this en thus iasm w a s the work a n d energy put into organizing a n d directing this yea r ' s Sing by co-Chairmen Evie Van Dam a n d Russ Norden. It is through their work, a n d the work of hund reds like them, that the All-College Sing h a s become one of the g rea t highlights of every school year .

The origin of Prayer Week or Religious Em-phas i s Week can b e t raced back to when Hope Col lege w a s still in its youth. In 1887 the theme for the week w a s "The Salvat ion of Young Men," a n d the meet ings were led b y prominent bus iness men from Holland. At that time the services were p l a n n e d b y the Y.M.C.A., a s they a r e now. Since there were few women on c a m p u s in 1887 no Y.W.C.A. h a d b e e n formed a s yet. From that time on. Prayer Week has b e e n held every year , usual ly with one main speaker , but somet imes with a s m a n y a s five.
