Aldrich Chosen W . A . L Prexy Two Other Hol land Juniors and Easterner Elected t o Serve

At the annual Women's Activity League elections held Thursday, March 30, Mary Elizabeth Aldrich, Holland junior, was elected presi-dent to succeed Vivian Tardiff Cook. Myra Kleis, another Holland junior, was elected vice president, and Frieda Grote, also a junior from Holland, and Elizabeth Ro-maine, a sophomore from Hacken-sack. New Jersey, were elected to serve as secretary and treasurer, respectively.

President Aldrich came to Hope from her home town, Chicago, Sep-tember, 1941. She resided in Voor-hees Hall her first two years until last summer when her mother moved to Holland to make their home here.

During her college career Mary Elizabeth, a Latin major, has been outstanding in campus activities as well as scholastically. As a mem-ber of Pi Kappa Delta she is active in debate. She also claims mem-bership to Girls' Glee Club, Chapel Choir as well as Student Council, French Club and WAL Board and has been on Voorhees House Board. She is a member of the Sorosis society.

In . . . . Digestion By Edna May Richards

It is interesting to note that United States military men say German prisoners lately are less arrogant and talk of Germany gaining a stalemate instead of a victory.

MacArthur, in his South and Southwest Pacific over-all com-mand, has in all, sixteen divisions under his command. This combined army compares favorably with the size of the Allied forces in Italy. Of these sixteen divisions, the 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th and 9th divisions of the Australians are included.

In order to defeat a new German drive for French workers scheduled for April, Allied warnings are being sent by radio and via the underground telling the Frenchmen how and in what areas the drive will operate so as to enable them to avoid conscription.

On the Home Front, OPA and PAW officials are saying pri-vately they believe gasoline rationing won't last thirty days after the war ends. If Japan is still fighting when Germany is defeated, rationing, of course, will have to continue. In fact, the strain on gasoline and oil supplies might even increase with concentration in the Pacific. But they scoff at rumors of con-tinued post-war rationing and suggest they may be part of a producers' and dealers' scheme to get some price concessions while sales are still limited.

Although less than 1,700 tons of bombs were dropped on London in sixteen raids between January and March, casualties were the highest since May, 1941, the end of the blitz.

Because the volume of mail to United States war prisoners in Germany has slowed delivery, the prisoners themselves have complained to the Red Cross over the frequency and length of letters from home. They suggest shorter letters and more photo-graphs.

Here is a note which will interest the feminine minds of the campus. The National Association of Retail Clothiers is warning shop-owners against heavy inventories of green apparel. The theory behind the warning is that demobilized soldiers will have seen too much of it.

Lenten Season Climaxed With Two Special Services in Chapel

Good Friday Union Service to Last

From 12 Noon Till Three; Easter

Sunrise Program Scheduled tor 6:30 The annual union service for Good Friday will again be

held in the Memorial Chapel, Friday afternoon, April 7,

between 12 noon and 3 P. M. The general theme for the service will be "From Gethsemane to Calvary."

Rev. C. M. Beerthuis, president of the Holland Ministerial association, will preside at the meeting and Mrs. W. C. Snow

Staver Appoints Parsons and Brandli To Key Positions on '45 MILESTONE

Through a new but successful system of selection. AI Staver, Edi-tor of the MILESTONE '45, has chosen his associate editor and staff.

With the aid of Prof. De Graaf, Staver devised a set of questions that would best show a student's experience and abilities in publish-ing a year book. Mimeographed copies were sent to the sophomore English classes where the questions were individually answered. From the results the new editor compiled his staff.

Newly chosen associate editor is Elsie Parsons, Hudson, New York, who served in this same capacity on her high school annual. She is to handle the literary and art staffs, making assignments and approv-ing copy. Carole Erickson and Elaine Prins, chosen for their ar-tistic ability, comprise the art staff.

Members of the literary staff chosen for their creative writing ability include Joyce Van Oss, Ruth Joldersma, Harriet Stegeman, Shir-ley Otteman, Mary Lou Hemmes, Eleanor Mulder, and Dorothea Dixon.

The photography staff, Libby Ro-

Dykstra Chosen

To Head Y.M.C.A. maine and Barbara Van Raalte, R r a t , J | : 7 ^ -will work directlv under the editor- B r a n " " « ^ d n Z o e r e n , in-chief. Mr. Staver, who will super-vise the general layout and corre-late ideas, will have as his main task the photography work. He sends out a request for campus amateurs' candid shots since he will be busy with the posed pic-tures.

The business manager will be Wilbur Brandli of Union City, New Jersey. Brandli was chosen for his organizing ability and driving spirit. His staff will include Elaine Bielefeld, Edith Wolbrink, B e t t y Fuller, Marjorie Van Vranken, Ron-nie Finlaw, and Ruth Ellison. Their job will be to go out and get all the advertising possible.

Circulation of the book will be handled by Natalie Bosnian and Helga Sawitsky.

No theme has been decided upon as yet since no staff meetings have been held.

It is the editor's aim to cut red tape as much as possible so for this reason he has a minimum of bosses so that the staff will cooper-ate as a unit.

Glee Club Will Broadcast Thursday

On Thursday, April 6, the Hope Girls' Glee Club will make a coast-to-coast broadcast on the mutual broadcasting system originating at WLAV, Grand Rapids. The broad-cast will be from 2:15 to 2:30 (cen-tral war time).

Bos, Elected to Fill Remaining Off ices

The election of YM officers

the coming year took place

Tuesday, March 21. In a very close

ballot Wes Dykstra was chosen

president; Bill Brandli, vice-presi-

dent; Jay Van Zoeren, secretary;

Adrian Bos, treasurer. Other mem-

bers of the cabinet include Dick

Vriesman as chairman of the music

committee; Al Staver, missions;

Bill Haak, membership; Dick Hine,

Y-Fore; Owen Koeppe, social.

Installation Service Held

The retiring president, Roger

Koeppe, administered the oath of

office to the new president in the

form of a challenge to promote the

spirit of YM in the face of adverse

conditions. The new president then

introduced the new cabinet mem-

bers. Rev. Bast spoke about the problem YM f a c e s during war time. This was followed by a duet by Cy Voogd and Bob Swart. Re-freshments were then served by the committee.

Marge Friesema Just like a woman! Yes, that's

Margaret Mary Friesema. You see,

she's the organist at Bethel Re-

formed church and she's always

changing her manuals.

Music is her "forte." In addition

to her church duties, as organist

and junior choir director, Marge

teaches piano, raises her voice in

the Girls' Glee Club, and is prexie

of Musical Arts. Other un-musicale

activities? Well, the one's with pri-

orities are Society (Sigma Sigma

vice-pres.) and Alcor, woman's

honor society.

What makes Marge "margie?"

Grapefruit at midnight; baked po-

tatoes with lottsa butter (are you

kiddin'), and food, with a capital

" F " is her fav'rite sport.

Lifting her high above the ordi-

nary collegeiate rut, and typifying

the lofty heights to which our De-

troit lass aspires, is her singular

distinguished honor — that of

MEMBERSHIP IN THE BOOK OF

THE MONTH CLUB!! You see, she

likes anything "novel."

M.M. loves plants, fishing, swim-

ming, and c o l l e c t s "animals." (Where does that put you, Al?)

You know that current expres-sion that we get a "bang" out of? Well, another trait of our clever, precocious young genius is her original revision — you see, she gets a "ding" out of it!

And to make a sweet story short, the difference between talented young Miss Friesema and her read-ing public — she loves corn but can't eat it. You don't but hafta!!!

Scalpel Hears Kope, State Pathologist

The March meeting of Scalpel

club was held Wednesday, March

29th, in the library of the science

building. The guest speaker of the

evening was Doctor Kope, Chief

Pathologist of the Michigan De-

partment of Health. He spoke on the general topic of Laboratory technicians and this was followed by a question period. In his speech he emphasized the fact that some-one interested in going into this

field must have intellectual integ-rity and physical dexterity no mat-ter what their scholastic back-ground. At present to be registered by the National Registry Board, all an applicant has to have scho-lastically is two years of college and twelve months of practical hos-pital or other laboratory work. However, the fact was emphasized that it is impossible for a student to take biology, chemistry' and physics plus unrequired courses in bacteriology in two years of col-lege. For this reason Dr. Kope felt that the present requirement will be changed to four years of college and will include a beginning course in bacteriology. The twelve month training period will not be changed but he frankly admitted that only the exceptional workers are able to be fully trained to his personal satisfaction in eighteen months while the average student takes three years.

The Michigan Health Department has a training program offered to college graduates in which they are trained for four months in the Health Department's laboratories and spend eight months in two ap-proved Michigan hospitals. In con-nection with this program is the Kellogg Foundation scholarships which provide $720 for maintenance while the student is training.

The Health Department and most1

.subject, "The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus." Rev. Gerrit Visser of Wesleyan Methodist church will speak on "The Verdict of Annas and Caia-phas."

Local Pastors Will Speak

Rev. Marinus Vander Zwaag of

Central Avenue Christian Re-

formed church will speak on "The

Denial of Peter"; Rev. H. Ten Clay

of Maplewood Reformed church on

"The Remorse of Judas"; and Dr.

George Mennega of Western Theo-

logical seminary on "The Verdict of

Pilot."

Dr. J . Hoogstra of Prospect Park

Christian Reformed church will be

the sixth speaker on the subject,

"The Experience of Simon of Cy-

rene," and Dr. Lester Kuyper of Western seminary will speak on "The Crucifixion of Jesus."

Guests are free to come and go at intervals during the service.

Rev. Kruithof to Speak at— Sunrise Service

One of the most impressive parts of this Easter season will be the annual sunrise service held in the Hope Memorial chapel at 6:30 Easter Sunday morning. Rev. Bas-tian Kruithof will speak on The Power of His Resurrection.

The remainder of the program will include two selections by the Master Men's Quartette, The Lord Is Risen and Oh, Ressnrection Mom. Anna Ruth Poppen will be at the organ and a medley of hymns will be presented as a trumpet duet. Members of the committee in charge will participate with Helga Sawitzsky giving the responsive reading, Frances De Pree, reading the scriptures, and prayer led by Del Vander Haar.

The YW and YM of Hope and the Christian Endeavor societies of Holland make this service possible.

A Light Still Shines Out of the Darkness The first time you saw him it

was only a streak of red hair and the number "10" on his uniform as he flashed under the gallery on the basketball court . . . You were only a freshman and it was silly to even think that a high-and-mighty junior would deign to no-tice you, but when time was called you looked across the court into a pair of startling blue eyes, and sud-denly he was grinning — a wide, friendly grin — for you. After the game, at the All-College Sing, you saw him across the room; within five minutes he had one of the fellows over to introduce you. You said "Hello" in a weak voice, looked straight up into heaven, and sud-denly there just wasn't anyone else around. It was just you two — alone and forever —

Starting from the first coke-date af ter the Sing, it was always that way, and the memories that the two of you made together are something that you will carry in your heart forever . . . That sum-mer he came to see you in New York, and you spent a week build-ing more memories . . . Youtooklong rides on the subway; you laughed; you screamed on the 'coaster at Coney; you ate peanuts and pop-corn and hot dogs and those big fuzzy things that taste like cotton and get into your ears when you

try to take a sizeable bite . . .

you sat in the back row of the

movie holding hands; you ducked

each other in the pool at the St.

George; you walked down Broad-

way looking at the brilliant lights that were not yet dimmed-out; and you flattened your noses against the shop windows along Fifth Ave-nue.

Then it was Fall, and school again . . . There was Home-coming week-end and Thanksgiving dinner at his house with a great roast turkey and steaming plum pudding . . . There were Christmas parties — your sorority party and his f r a t party with much laughter and good cheer, but no longer peace on earth, for that was Christmas, 1941 . . . You didn't worry much about it though — "Ju^t where is P e a r l Harbor anyway? . . . The war is so f a r away, i t needn't affect us" . . . So you had the rest of that delightful winter together with hot dogs and coffee over a feeble but ambitious fire at Tunnel Park . . . There were tobogganing parties at the Country Club and pushing the jalopy out of snowdrifts . . . There were long walks through falling snowflakes that stung your cheeks and tickled your nose.

Then i t was June with its blue skies and golden days . . . You

were so proud at his graduation

sitting with his folks and watching

him and applauding too loudly but

not being able to help it . . . You

stayed awhile with his folks so as

to be with him as much as possible

before his induction into the Army

Air Corps.

There was that last night to-

gether on the dunes of Lake Michi-

gan watching the silver mirror of the moon on the water and looking at the stars which were a little dim because of the tears in your eyes when he gave you his fraternity pin along with his good-night kiss.

On his first leave you hardly rec-ognized him — he seemed so bronzed and big, but it was him and how wonderful he looked in uniform . . . Before he went over-seas he put a small but very loyely diamond on your third finger, lef t hand.

England seemed a long way off, and you tried to follow him on a map, but most of the time he couldn't tell you where he was, so you just had to guess . . . which was fun, too, in an eluding sort of way.

Meanwhile you filled in your ex-t ra time with war-knitting, rolling bandages, selling war stamps, and, of course, writing letters . . . You

wrote all kinds of letters — V-mail, Air-mail and just plain mail be-cause they could be the longest.

Then his letters stopped coming, and a t first you didn't worry, there might be any number of reasons why he couldn't write, but af ter three weeks you were sick with worry . . . The day you saw the yellow telegram on the table fear clutched a t your heart and con-stricted your t h r o a t . . . "regret to inform you . . . missing in action over enemy terri tory" . . .

Tonight you stand at your win-dow and look up at the same stars that had shone down so m a Q y times before on the two of you together . . . The first sharp grief has softened a little, and your faith in humanity has begun to re-turn . . . For awhile all feeling had been wrung out of your heart and out of your soul, but now you realize that you do not stand alone, and that your faith in tomorrow is the hope of today.

The words of the last stanza of William Cowper's Light Shining Out of Darkness come into your mind consummating a renewal of your faith . . .

"Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan His work in vain;

God is His own interpreter,

And He will make it plain."

The Inevitable Irish For more than four and a half years the twenty-six

counties in south Ireland, the nation of Eire, have pursued

a course of careful neutrality between the forces of civiliza-

tion and those of modern barbarism. Premier de Valera has been precise and faultless in his observance of a coldly

correct policy of neutrality; thereby costing the allies thou-

sands of drowned sailors and tons of shipping; thereby cost-

ing the Nazis — nothing. The British government has faithfully acted in accordance,

obeying to the letter of the law their promises not to inter-

fere with Eire's stubborn insistance on turning her back to the war; turning her back on the allied cause, yet hopeful

of an allied victory in order to maintain her own peaceful

way of life. Eire's position is of strategic value to the allied invasion

cause for the green isle straddles the sea lanes from the Americas to Great Britain. Eire's curt rebuff made by New

York born Eamon de Valera to the United States request that axis diplomats and consular agents moving freely within

the country be removed, left the United States undaunted.

This is the first time in history that Ireland has been con-

fronted by a dispute with the United States. De Valera answered in substance that it would be impos-

sible to comply with allied suggestions because it would "destroy their democratic trust." What kind of loyalty

to democratic trust is it that stays blindly within the escap-

ist shell of neutrality, impervious to either the present evil or the promised good? Is it loyalty to democratic trust to

pick the fruit of diplomacy on both sides of the fence and

then throw the pits in the allied back yard? Just how much democracy would live to bloom in Ireland after an axis

"win?" The neutrality of south Ireland is conditioned by never

forgotten and never forgiven "old scores" against Britain;

predominantly the recent six-year tariff war. Eire is not truly independent but remains free only through British

protection. The situation has indeed been made uneasy by the fact that the Irish, as a people, are not easily dissuaded

from a position they have taken; nevertheless even a mule loses face when he sees his last bag of oats carried off to feed the chickens.

Eire has been warned by our president that unless cooper-ation is forthcoming, she need not expect a place at the peace table. Then there is the Prime Minister's announce-ment of the suspension of travel between north and south Ireland and between Eire and Great Britain; just the first step in isolating Eire from the outer world.

De Valera presented a "yard wide" front in his willingness to endure and his unwillingness to yield but Eire is unmis-takably jittery and more than a little concerned. She has appealed to Canada for intervention and even mobilized against a much feared invasion from the naval and military installations in the six allied counties of north Ireland.

Eire's eternal blarney is virtually minus a backbone; let us not be duped by it. Perhaps an object lesson is in order to squelch once and for all these testy, irascible Irishmen. It is expedient that Eire's blase fence sitting days come to a halt; that she be pushed, pulled, shoved or in another way activated to land on either side of the fence — not both.

The biggest problem on the cam-

pus today seems to be mail (male)

whatever way you look at it. First

and foremost, of course, is the five-

minute silence between hours, prob-

ably in reverence to those who have

left us — the mighty ASTP.

It was a couple of sad days and

a sad bunch of co-eds, when the

sad sacks left. The sodjers singing

as they marched—2-3-4 to the sta-

tion, and the cuties trailing along

behind . . . last words . . . last

good-byes . . . first tears . . . the chug of the engine . . . running down the platform a f t e r the train till it was gone . . . the last dismal sound on the whistle long a f t e r it was out of sight.

But who said they'd forget us

as soon as they le f t? It started

with telephone calls and now it's

like this: A mad dash a f t e r first

hour till I'm sure there'll be a

head-on collision at the back door

of Voorhees . . . "Any mail for

me?" . . . "Has he been here ye t?"

. . . the clatter of loafers and sad-

dle shoes . . . I won't a t tempt to

describe the pile-up around the mail table.

Follows groans and sighs; happy ones and sad ones, and once in awhile a squeal of delight . . . Lunch is the melting pot of it all. Both sets of twins get in a huddle. Each has so much to tell f rom to-day's letter. A few more of the "gals they left behind them" get in on it, and everyone talks all at once and so fast nobody hears what the other one has to say. Oh, but it's lots of fun!

And, of course, when it comes to male, here's what we have: Har-riet Stegeman and Phyl Barense, dubbed the luckiest gals in school, because their privates are among the elite at the Emmie House wko will be here another few days . . . "Penny" Pennings gets a call in the middle of one night, saying Paul was back in the states. She wasted at least one minute of the three asking, "Are you sure it's really you?"

Kosanna Atkins and B V D's Van Dyke are sharing the honors ( ? ) of

m u b ! r

0 x

being campus queens of Van Vleck this week. Rosie doesn't think it's fa i r of her roommate to pick this week to be in the infirmary. But she's been having mysterious let-ters and phone calls from G. li. to break up the monotony.

The gals are bemoaning the fact that Al Staver is now 1-A. But Al says he'll get an occupational de-fer rment — janitor in the girls' dorm.

Far be it from me to say any-thing about the Michigan weather, but . . . Jan Bogart says she sits in business school and looks out a t the spring snow. After two minutes dictation, she looks up and the sun is out. At the next interval it is raining. And so on into the afternoon. Was it Kelly or Sheats that said, "If winter comes, can spring be far behind?"

It 's hail and farewell for a little while to Coach Hinga, who is going east to recruit new members for the secret organization of H-O-P-E, which is a little college in Michigan. Good luck. Coach, and you know what we gals want you to bring back.

What unknown admirers gave Jeannie Bosharl and Trudy Maasen those little yellow bunnies? You tell us!

Everything happened to Ruthie Van Bronk all at once. First it was her birthday, and then Jaxon came. Gosh, Ruthie, you didn't tell us he'd be that cute!

Joldy's all smiles about her won-derful new job. She's even going to stay here all summer . . . Melba had company again. Yes, he's sailor; yes, his name is Bob. but of course, it's Robert Parker!

We hear Penny ueweerd had a plenty good time when she popped off to Chicago coupla week-ends back to paint the town with Lt. Johnny. . . . The question of the week is, does Frank miss Van Vleck as much as Van Vleck misses him, Milly, too, of course.

Hey kids! Exams are over am it 's ten minutes to Easter! Let's fergi t about books and stuff and have fun for a few days. See y'all a f te r vacation.

Whoozit.

Women (20-36)

Last Wednesday our Musical

Arts "Clubbers" met again for their

monthly meeting. We discovered

that our Red Cross contributions

amounted to $55.19 — that 's even

better than we did last year.

Af t e r our business meeting was

closed, Pat Haskins presented us

a program based on Russian music.

Freida Grote opened the program with a piano solo. An Idyl, by Medt-ner. A Russian vesper hymn was then sung by Donna Mulder, and Libby Romaine read a very inter-esting paper about Szastakowicz. In conclusion we heard records. Par ts of Szastakowicz's Fif th Sym-phony were played.

Mr. Gathie certainly gave a love-ly piano recital yesterday morning in the chapel. He is at present working on his Master of Music degree in piano under Joseph Brink-man of the University of Michigan School of Music. He has given re-cital concerts in Westchester and at the University of Michigan and has appeared as soloist with the Flint Symphony Orchestra.

Well, gals, are we all getting excited about our trip to Chicago? It won't be quite like that one we took East when the bus couldn't get up the hill and we all got out and walked — but — it will be fun. Never have seen Chicago — any-way !

m

Questions, Answers About the WAVES

Are women with no special train-g eligible for the WAVES? Not only are they eligible, but

the Navy needs them urgently. They will be sent to school to re-ceive training before taking over a shore job.

What formal education ia neces-sary for enlistment in the WAVES?

At least two years' high school or business school.

What are the marriage require-ments?

Married women are admitted to the WAVES provided they have no children under 18. Wives of service men are eligible with the exception of those married to Naval officers from the rank of Ensign on up. After completion of initial training, a WAVE marry whom she pleases.

Can enlisted women become WAVE officers?

Yes, after six months' service, en-listed women may apply for a com-mission. It calls for hard work and outstanding ability, but it is a goal well worth trying for.

What pay may a girl expect after completing the WAVES training course?

That depends upon her rating. For instance, as a third class petty officer she would receive base pay of $78 a month. In addition, where government food and quarters arc not provided, she would receive $3.05 a day for subsistence—a total of about $170 a month. The base pay of a seaman, second class, is $54 a month; seaman, first class, $66; second class petty officer, $96; first class, $114, and chief, $126, with the same subsistence and quarters allowance in each case.

What about "dates" in the WAVES?

At training school, dates are permitted during week-end leave. While girls in training have crowd-ed schedules, there is opportunity for recreation. After assignment to a duty station, members of the WAVES enjoy the normal social activities of girls in civilian life— with the added advantages, how-ever, of entree to service clubs not available to civilians and free tick-ets to theatres, movies and other amusements where such tickets are provided for service men.

Vander Wege, Winstrom Are Guests of Tri-Alpha

Afte r two* successive Friday

nights of basketball, Tri-Alpha

again settled down to normal liv

ing with the literary-business meet

ing of Friday, March 31. The meet

ing was opened by President Roger

Koeppe, and Len Sibley offered the

evening's prayer. Gregg Keizer and

Johnnie Mooi had barely begun to

lead group singing when Bill Band

li (lucky boy) arrived with a femi

nine guest, Mary Vander Wege.

Mary was the evening's guest hu

morist, and she presented two mon-

ologues: "The Baseball Game,"

which showed how fa r a woman's

appreciation of the game goes; and

"Substi tute," the disastrous result

of an undertaker performing a min-

ister's duties. After Mary finished,

Keizer and Mooi again got to their

feet and this time finished group

singing, without interruption. Jay

Van Zoeren then gave the treas-

urer 's report to fill in time until

the second featured guest of the

evening arrived. Rose Winstrom.

Singing was Rose's contribution to

the program, and she gave two

numbers: Night and Day and

"Chloe." Van Tamelen took special

pains to make sure everyone real-

ized that our "Campus Queen" is

from that "dear old town of Zee-

land, Michigan." The serious por-

tion of the meeting was in charge

of A l a n Staver, who presented

s o m e fine, Christian-principled

thoughts in his oration on peace

aims. Dick Hine closed the literary proceedings with the master critic's report.

Firs t of all, our chaplain remind-sd us of the Lenten season as we listened to the story of the be-trayal of our Lord. Our days here ire so full with learning how to fight that we often forget the pause that can bring peace — not only to our own lives but to the whole world.

0 Then we got a new slant on this

Citizen-Army problem. We've never liven the Citizen a fair chance — 1 can see that now. But I'm sure that a f te r tonight the Citizen and Army are on better terms as f a r as we are concerned. If every citi-zen could hear this paper I'm sure they'd agree with us.

The real climax of the evening came with the music. Can't tell you how much we enjoyed having guests — and such super onces! You should hear 'em sing! It does a man's heart good to have not only rhythm, but beauty, too, all in one night. Here's hopin' they'll come again.

One of my buddies reviewed a new book which expresses our own sentiments on army life. It was good to be able to laugh at this set-up. Most of the time we'd like to — well, we would! I'd like to meet Private Hicks.

Af te r a rousing song salute to all branches of the service some dope yells, "Company dismissed. Lights out in fifteen minutes" and we all tore for the barracks. Now before that sour sarge comes sail-ing in here looking like a tornado just landed, I'd better say

Good-night, Mom.

Lovingingly, your son,

JOE.

Spring really arrived Friday, March 31. Tea was served in the Dorian Room by the retiring offi-cers, Marian Sandee, Evelyn Shiff-ner, Ruth Ellison and Mariam Sie-bert, amid the golden glow of daf-fodils.

Af te r the tea had been poured by Marian Sandee, Frieda Grote played a medley of Straus waltzes and Evelyn Shiffner read some ap-propriate poetry.

At their Thursday evening meet-ing, Sorosites enjoyed the efforts of charges d'affaires Bobbie Roo-zen and her guide aides in the presentation of Crossroads.

They started a t Church Street where the scriptural description of Jesus ' triumphal entry into Jeru salem was read by Bobbie Roozen. They cussed to Flag Street where "soap-box orator, Joldy Joldersma" read a paper concerning Americans as they are and as they should be. Next stop was Washington Avenue where the news was delivered as compiled by Freddie Fredricks. A Detour was then necessary when Sorosites heard Ginny Bilkert and some humor at the expense of Hol-land, Michigan.

Memory Lane sounded inviting until Bobbie Roozen was seen at the piano having Moonlight Sonata. A slight flip was executed by all when she did not proceed to the second chord but blithely announced "April Fool" (she has no sense of dates).

A Dead End was reached at Max-ine Den Herder's critic's r epor t

Sorosites then disbanded at Tin Pan Alley a f te r their songs.

DELPHI

Delta Phi held its regular meet-ing in the Delphi room on March 24 at 7:30. After the business was concluded the meeting was turned over to Joan Droppers and J e a n Caan. Programs made up in Del-phi's traditional blue and gold were distributed. Ike Boer led devotions a f te r which Carol Meppelink reac a serious paper on the problems in-volved in America's juvenile delin-quency. Bette Van Lente played a wandering medly of school songs, and then Boots McCann added some humor to the meeting with her read-ing of an article telling the public how they are duped by the fancy advertisements and names used in perfume ads. The meeting conclud ed with the singing of the Delphi song.

Due to other social functions on the regular night for society meet-ings, Sibs met Thursday night, March 30. Af t e r the usual business of the evening was discussed. Presi-dent Mary Blair read the slate fo r elections. Af te r the ballots for president were revealed, Ruth Van Bronkhorst took over the gavel amid hearty applause. Her par tner as vice president is Persis Parker, who replaces Fritz Colenbrander. Harlene Schutmaat took over the office of secretary from H a p p y Maatman while Pat Haskin handed over the treasurer 's books to Eve-lyn Vermulm. The business of the meeting being completed, the new president dismissed the group.

Af t e r the business meeting Fri-day, March 24, the girls who were pledged to Sib in the fall took over the social part of the evening. Har-riet Haines was in charge of the program, of which the theme was the telephone, bearing the number. Pledge '43-'44. Our Operator for the evening was Gene Boshart, who introduced the various people rep-resenting some telephone language. Long Distance was Ruth Bartholo-mew, who led devotions. We were given the Busy Buzz next — com-posed of the trio, Phil Haskin, Har-riet Haines, and Edna Mae Van Ta-tenhove, who sang "I Couldn't Sleep a Wink Last Night." Emergency was personified by Ann Van der

j Veer, who provided humor in talk-, ing to her "goil friend." Viv DyKe-, ma as Information gave a very in-| terest ing serious paper on the tele-

phone. Not at all "Out of Order" was Carol Kile, who presented us with money from the pledges to be used in decorating the room. Penny Pennings was in charge of the Par ty line (refreshments) . T h e meeting was closed by the singing of Sib and Hope songs.

The Thesaurians entertained with a "Rainbow Tea" Friday afternoon, March 31, in their society room.

Programs, in the form of tiny Rainbows, were passed out and Marilyn Zandstra, president, wel-comed the guests.

A piano solo, Lily of the Valley, was played by Nellie Mae Ritse-ma. Marion Dame reviewed the book The Snow Goose by Galico. The short program was concluded with a song. The Dustman by a trio, Marion Mastenbrook, Lois Meulendyke, and Jean Meulendyke, accompanied by Nellie Mae Ritz-ema.

Marilyn Zandstra was presented with a g i f t by Marge Van Vranken from the pledges of this year and last year. It is to be used for dec-orating the society room.

Tea was then ponied by Marilyn Zandstra a t a lovely rainbow col-ored tea table.

Guests of the society were Miss Elizabeth Lichty, Miss Laura Boyd, Miss Reba Burrows and Mrs. John Hoekstra, the former Adelaide Wanscheer.

On Friday, March 24, a f te r a short business meeting, Thesau-rians had the pleasure of hearing a talk on India given by Marge Van Vranken. She was dressed in an lidian costume and had many Indian articles such as jewelry, combs, and eating implements, to show the girls.

Questions, Answers About the WAVES

Do WAVES get t regulation haircut when they arrive at the training school?

No. Mem' s of the WAVES determine io: themselves the style of hair-do they want. The only regulation is that the hair shall not cover the coat collar. > Where if a girl sent after enlist-ing in the WAVES? '

She goes to recruit school in New York City, for six weeks' indoctrin-ation. Some WAVES are assigned to duty stations as soon as they complete this basic training. Others are sent to schools in Georgia, Flor-ida, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, Oklahoma or other places for spe-cialized training.

Does the Navy provide transpor-tation to the training school?

Yes, also subsistence en route. H o w much civilian clothing

should be taken to the training sta-tion?

Enough for a week or two. As underwear, sleeping garments and stockings are not issued by the Navy, enough of these items should be packed to provide for a girl's needs until she wishes to replenish her supply.

Kuyper

In a letter to the Anchor, Pvt. Howard Kuyper says, "Your first few issues of the Anchor have reached me in Australia. Althouxh it does take some time to reach its destination, I always enjoy reading it. Life in Australia is grand after being in the tropics for such a long time. There's nothing like the U.S.A. and domestic life. I have been in the islands a long time and the feeling for home wasn't as dominant in me as it is now after getting a real taste of white civil-ization. The camp and food here is the best I have experienced in the Army. The people always inquire about the picture "Seven Sweet-hearts" which concernK Holland when I tell them I'm from Holland. 1 really enjoy the large city for a change and there are many places of interest and entertainment here which are really beautiful and edu-cational."

Zoet

Lt. Chuck Zoet, who has been

home on furlough after completing 50 missions, is now stationed at a "rest camp" in Atlantic City, N. J. He hopes to be taking an active part again soon.

Great Lakes

Several Hope fellows are in Great Lakes taking "boot" training until they can enter other schools. Among them are John Rypstra, Dick Wierenga, Everett Woodworth and Bill De Witt. Ask Bill about the time he went to the dentist at 3:30 and left at 11:00.

Bob Resch is working in the hos-pital wards at Great Lakes. He likes it very much, especially since Bob Rottschaeffer is in the same barracks and Ted Zwemer near him.

Baxter

F r o m Av/c Baxter E 1 h a r t 16162928, A.A.A.F., Class 44-E, Altus, Oklahoma, we hear:

"I noticed in the Anchor that a number of the boys are getting their wings in April. By the looks of things I shall be able to join their ranks in May. Sure hope the fellows will be around long enough so I meet them again."

Boersma

Dell Boersma says that if his last semester at Western r.oes as fast as the first they'll soon be leav-ing for some further Navy train-ing. No place could ever compare with Hope as far as he's concerned.

FOR EASTER

Kerle

Art Kerle, who's stationed at Lowry Field near Denver, Colorado, spent an interesting day off in Central City. It's practically a ghost town with wooden sidewalks, an opera house and the bar which inspired the writing of "The Face on the Barroom Floor." He also met two interesting and talkative men, the sheriff and a gold miner.

Koranda

Bud Koranda, a Naval Air Cadet, has soloed and expects to be sent to Iowa soon. He's at Mt. Pleasant now.

Mulder

A/C Don Mulder, stationed at Eagle Pass, Texas, is now doing instrument flying. In speaking of the fog he says: "It sure feels funny zooming around in that 'soup!'" Don expects to be on fur-lough in two weeks.

'Faint Heart Never Won. /

There was a whisper of move-ment b e h in d her. She" stopped abruptly and melted into the soft grey shadows, becoming a part of them. One thing betrayed her pres-ence — the ugly gleam of the gun

(clasped in her trembling hands. She stood very still, not daring even to breathe. But she could not restrain the nervous twitching of her tense fingers on the trigger and she was acutely aware of the cold, impersonal touch of the icy blue steel. Its very chill seemed symbolic of death.

Suddenly, he appeared! A wave of fear swept over her, but she fought it defiantly. This was the long-awaited moment. He was near enough so that with careful aim, she could easily place a fatal shot. His clear-cut silhouette was an in-vitation. She raised the gun slowly and deliberately; then fired. The sharp report stabbed her ears and the sound was echoed by the wild throb of her fainting heart. The gun slipped from her numbed fin-gers and dropped at her feet with a dull thud.

She stood as if paralyzed for a moment; then stumbled to the place where his still body lay. An angry spurt of blood rushed forth from the yawning wound in his side. Why had she done it? She who had always loved — But it was too late now . . . too late . . . She sank wearily to her knees and wept bit-ter tears.

The sound of approaching foot-steps interrupted her broken sobs of shame and remorse. She rose hastily and her eyes reached out into the shadows, in search of the forgotten weapon. She must es-cape!! If they saw her —! "Quick-ly, quickly!" she murmured breath-lessly, "After all, they'd think it was the height of absurdity for me

to mourn over my first pheasant."

GIRLS' SPORTS

By One Rose

The days of dime bowling are over for this year. After jotting down each girl it was found that the leader of the high ten is Pinx Mulder with 174, followed by Jackie Granert 166, Lena Hibma 157, Jean De Ruiter 156, Elaine Mensinger 155, Ruth VandeBunte 134, Ess Bo-gart 152, Anna Laura 1'arsons 150, Viv Dykema 147, and Shirl Otie-man 1 4 6 .

Each sorority has elected a soft-ball captain as follows: Delphi, Pinx Mulder; Dorian, Ginny Zoet; Sibylline, Carol Kile; Sorosis, Ruth Joldersma; and Thesaurian, Milly Burghardt. Practices will begin just as soon as the weather per-mits. Games will start the week following Easter and will be held at 7:00 on Thursday nights. Soft-ball season was rushed a bit last Friday, March 24, when two games were played by "choose-up" groups. Star performers were Jerry Up-pelger with a beautiful round trip-per, Ess Bogart with her dandy first basing, and Glenna Gore, Joldy and Carol Kile with their good hitting.

All those who haven't played off the first and second rounds of the ping-pong tournament better play them pronto, as you're holding up the tournament. The two winners so far of the second rounds are Mary Blair and Viv Dykema. Semi-finals should be played by April 12th, so let's get hoppin'.

So-long, Sue, or Hope Settles for the Mailman, a Fond Farewell, and a Book

Spring has sprung — the grass is rizz — I wonder where the fel-lows is. Fort Sheridan?? — No!! Fort Custer?? — No!!! Camp Mc-Coy?? — Yes!!! (Or Crowder — wherever the heart may be) Hope College (co-ed??) can now be classed with Smith, Mt. Holyoke, Vassar and all the other institutes for the socially misled. If you see a G.I. Joe on the loose ' see Pieper and see better" — Chum, you're suffering from optical illusions (or was that a Group C man I just saw go by the window 111)

Last Thursday and Saturday were great days for onlookers. No "eye-juice" was spared and a good time was had by all. Farewells were said and did in the seclusion of the wide open spaces. Those concerned seemed oblivious of the fact that most A.S.T.P. cookies have 20-20 eyesight.

Studying has become a prominent | occupation on the campus now. Dr. Vergeer's paramencium are getting full attention now with the excep-tion of ten minutes before and} after two when the mail is engi-neered into the lab.

Walking to and from classes is no longer a battle of the sexes.} Why, just the other day 1 walked j down the hall in Van Raalte and only got bumped once — I didn't! see that old post sticking up.

Miss Gibbs has noticed a drastic ( change in library attendance. Yes- [ terday one girl came in — the first

in a week. All she wanted to do was get a book out on "now to Get Along with Women,"

The mailman and the telephone operator have something in com-mon now — they're both going nuts!!! If the mail call is successful the mailman gets showered with words of endearment, but, woe unto his hide when there is no "free" on an envelope. He could tell more about women's methods and madnesses than Dorothy Dix. The telephone operator got so in-terested in a McCoy-Holland call last night she forgot to say "your three minutes are up." She wanted to hear the end of the argument anyway.

More letters are pouring into the home front from campus co-eds sinfce last week, too. They usually run this way: "Dear Mom, The A.S.T.P. has gone. I am now buy-ing my own double-decker sundaes and paying my own way to the show — It's harder on my pocket-book than it is on yours. Could you help me out? — Hopefully —

The Kibitzer : . . . by Owen Koeppe

Baseball season is about here so we've dug up a little dope on the

"full count." What are the chances when a batter has a 3 and 2 count

on him? We'll cancel the possibility of a foul because that doesn't

change things. In 49 out of 150 cases the batter connected but was

out or forced a teammate at another base. In 33 more cases, the

batter swung and met — nothing but air. In five other instances the

batter had the great humility of banging into a double play. So in 87

times out of 150 the pitcher won the 3 and 2 argument for a .5o0

percentage.

In 41 of the remaining times the pitcher missed the plate com-

pletely and walking resulted. Note that on the 3 and 2 count walks

are more frequent than strike-outs. Twenty times the batter con-

nected safely for fourteen singles, two doubles, no triples, and four

home runs. Twice he got on base by errors. In these 150 cases the

batter got 20 hits in 109 official times at bat. That gives him a

mediocre .174 percentage. That's poor for anyone.

The Stanley Cup hockey play-offs are in the finals. Fourth place

Chicago upset Detroit, winning four out of five in their series. Toronto

handed Montreal its first defeat on home ice this year in the first game

of the other series, but Montreal's just too good. They won the next

four straight. We'll pick Montreal to beat Chicago in six games.

Utah met St. Johns in the finals for the national basketball cham-

pionship. Both have been underdogs in all their play-off games. Utah

won the final game.

Tri-Alpha will organize two softball teams after vacation. League

play starts in two weeks. We hear rumors of a challenging girls' team.

We hope!
