With this issue, we continue the publication of the Anchor- line, our fledgling cousin written and edited by the members of Miss Marjorie Pickens' Creative Writing class.

We expect and hope that both Miss Pickens' class and their project will continue next year. State Chief Justice To Speak At Hope The Honorable John R. Dethmers will visit our campus for the final program arranged jointly by the Cultural Program Committee and the Hope College International Re- lations Club.

During the afternoon IRC meeting he will elaborate on his morning talk and answer questions from the audience. The meeting in the Kletz will also be open to non-members. The Chief Justice is no stranger to Hope. He entered Hope College in 1921 and distinguished himself in forensics, as an undergraduate, winning the Raven Oratorical Con- test, which his son David received this year. From Hope he went to the University of Michigan Law School, where his son John is a student now. During his long and distinguished career as a public servant he has held many positions, including that of State GOP chair- man, Attorney General of the State of Michigan and Justice of the Michigan Supreme Court. He was recently re-elected Chief Justice for the State of Michigan. In recognition of his outstand- ing record as a scholar, in law, and in public service, Dethmers has been awarded honorary degrees from several institutions, including Hope College and the University of Michigan. In view of his wide experience in the field of govern- ment and his well-known oratorical talent, the address on Wednesday should prove a worthy conclusion outstanding series of programs pre- senter during the past semester.

From the

EDITOR'S DESK "Hats Off" For May Day

From a purely personal standpoint, I should like to congratulate all who helped in the planning and execution of the May Day events this year. From s tar t to finish, the day showed the results of careful planning and skillful management.

Particularly, Glennyce Kleis deserves mention for a noteworthy job as general chairman. Her committees, too numerous to enumerate here, were apparently well-chosen and well supplied with ideas, fo r the results were most successful.

It is a credit to the student body and to the faculty that the banquet and par ty were so well-supported, as all too often they are not. This should prove once and for all tha t quality of planning and quantity of publicity will produce the desired results in events such as these. Let us hope that this marks the beginning of a trend.

Letter to the Editor

At this point midway between two elections, those of the Student Council, which have just passed, and those of the nation, which are yet to come, it seems advantageous to make a brief comment on the honorableness of holding an elective office.

Now that the hustle and bustle is over sane minds can again re-turn to normalcy. A cherished cus-tom can be again put back in the corner of some dark shelf. And we who have either participated in the elections or have merely watched breathless f rom some untrodden clod of earth can catch our breath. It might even be possible to eval-uate what has just past.

Men and women have striven for the privilege of being chosen for an office. They have asked to be elected so that they might put forth a program, or if they had none on the s trength of their per-sonality. Those who have reached the mark have touched the heights, and those who have not have re-turned to the valleys. But no one has really lost.

The elected can not tr iumph and the unelected should not sulk, for the one who holds office is merely the leader of equals. There is no honor in being chosen, only the opportunity of acquiring it. We should be able to say with Boethius that "honour comes not to virtue from holding office, but comes to office from virtues there practiced." All can practice virtue within or without office; the fu tu re decides who gets the laurals.

Very truly yours David G. Cassie

The Spice of Life It was about noon and every th ing was still wet f r o m last n ight ' s

rain. Mrs. B a r k e r kneeled in the mud and jabbed a t the weeds in the garden with an old ki tchen fo rk . Another summer , she thought , with its p r e t t y flowers — and its g r ime and d i r t . She stood up and wiped off the knees of her dungarees , then she called into the house, "Elsy , what a r e you d o i n g ? Don't touch Mr. Clarens pail of w a t e r or he'll be mad a t you." She knew he would have laughed a t her . They could have hired someone else to pape r the dining room, someone who acted less impulsively and was not so emphat ic in every th ing he did, but Mr. Clarens was the best one and tha t was wha t they wanted.

She walked towards the house to check up on Elsy. How many t imes, she wondered, would she be doing this du r ing the summer . Elsy would go into second g r a d e next fa l l . The t ime couldn't come too quickly. She was on the porch steps when Elsy ' s p l ayma te came runn ing around the side of the house yelling, "Elsy , Elsy, Elsy, Elsy ," It s tar t led her. She fe l t her h e a r t beat heavy.

" F o r heaven 's sake Johnny , " she scolded, "can ' t you be quie ter ." She continued into the house and found Elsy s i t t ing on the floor swish-ing her arm in the pail of water . She closed her eyes and sighed, "Oh Elsy, please deares t , go outside and leave this mess alone. Besides Johnny is cal l ing f o r you."

" I know," answered Elsy , still swishing her a rm without looking up.

"Well don' t you think you'd be t te r go out and see h i m ? " said Mrs. Barker .

"Oh" , s ighed Elsy, "he'l l only wan t to go to the q u a r r y again ." Mrs . Ba rke r grabbed her d a u g h t e r by the shoulders and forced her

to s tand . "The q u a r r y ! " she exclaimed, " I told you never to go down there — you know little Skippy Adams was killed there last win te r ! " She looked a t the ceiling and pleaded, "Lord have p i ty ; what is ex-pected of a h o u s e w i f e ? " She looked back a t E lsy and said in a slow, emphat ic tone, "Never go down there aga in . "

E lsy s ta red a t the floor and said nothing. Then she s ta r ted to cry, and said between sobs," I don' t like it t he re anyway ."

Mrs. Ba rke r hugged her d a u g h t e r and said quiet ly, "I know, I know, you jus t tell Johnny you don't wan t to go down the re anymore ," She seldom scolded Elsy and f e l t gui l ty when she did.

Johnny T r u d y waited in the backyard , his round f ace a l ready show-ing a s t rong t an , and his hands looked as though he had made sure to ge t them d i r ty r ight a f t e r lunch. He knew Mrs. Barke r didn' t like Elsy to play in the quar ry .

" I s your mo the r mad a t m e ? " he asked Elsy, as she sauntered out the screen door. "Can ' t you play a t the q u a r r y ? "

"I don't w a n t to. I ge t scra tched," she said. "Do you w a n t to play on the o ther side, where i t 's not s teep?"

said Johnny.

"Le t ' s dig f o r worms ," she answered, as she made small gull ies in the mud with he r fingers.

" I t ' s no f u n , " said Johnny , kicking a t the mud. E lsy looked up a t him. "My mothe r will be mad at me," she

insisted with raised eyebrows.

"She wouldn' t mind the low side," he quickly responded. "Okay," she said, wi th a solemn expression.

Wi th shor t , eager s teps, Elsy and her boy f r iend walked down the road to the qua r ry , a half mile away . Re tu rn ing f r o m lunch, Mr. Clarens passed them in his s ta t ion wagon. He blew the horn and waved a t them. "Cu te kids," t hough t Clarens, "Be t they ' r e going to the qua r ry . Rascals. Know they shouldn' t . If I tell her mo the r I'm an old fuddy and if I don't and she gets a scratch — well, he r mother will probably ask abput her, then it won't seem so bad."

When he arr ived a t the Barkers ' he walked in the kitchen and let the screen door bang shut . Mr. Barke r f rowned .

"Well well, hello Mr. Barker , " Clarens greeted him in his bellowing voice, "Home f o r lunch, h u h ? "

"Yes ," answered Mr. Barker , " j u s t f o r lunch," I t was a muggy-day, the ra ins to rm the n ight before hadn ' t cleared the a i r much; he wanted every th ing to follow a quiet rout ine as closely as possible. To him there was no justif ication f o r unnecessary noise or vigor.

"How long will th is t ake y o u ? " he asked Clarens, pointing his t humb a t the dining room behind him.

"Oh jus t today," answered Clarens with a broad smile, "Yup jus t today. No sense fooling around you know." He went to work. He noisily flapped the wa te r soaked brush back and fo r th on the old wall-paper . Next came the scraping. Clarens went a t it with the same s t rong en thus iasm.

Mr. B a r k e r pictured pieces of p l a s t e r dropping off the walls. He finished his lunch wi thout conversat ion. Final ly he wiped his mouth with the linen napkin and asked his wi fe if E lsy had been behaving.

"Oh she 's been p re t t y good," answered Mrs. Ba rke r in an indefinate tone, and then asked him, " H a r r y , did you know t h a t E lsy and Johnny had been a t t he qua r ry l a t e l y ? "

" N o ! " he answered with a scowl, " H o w would I know? Mary I told you I don't l ike her near t h a t quar ry . You told her not to didn' t y o u ? "

"Yes, of course," she exclaimed, ind ignant a t t he insinuation, " I told her a mon th ago. I can ' t keep my eye on her all the t ime."

"Well where is she n o w ? " he asked, r is ing quickly f r o m his seat . "Outs ide p laying," she answered, " I set t led the whole m a t t e r th is

morning ." " I didn't see her out there ," he said, looking out the window, "and

she 's not t he r e now. Honest ly Mary, somet imes I ju s t don ' t unders tand you." He wiped perspi ra t ion f r o m his f o r e h e a d ; he ha ted muggy days .

Clarens appeared a t the a rchway between the ki tchen and dining room. "Folks , I feel a w f u l f o r not te l l ing you — but — well, I j u s t t hough t they were going to have some f u n . "

Mr. B a r k e r looked a t him blankly and said, "They ' r e down the re

a r en ' t they." "Yeh," said Clarens with a gu i l ty expression on his face . Mr.

B a r k e r ran out the back door and Mrs. Ba rke r tore off her apron and

ran a f t e r him. Clarens shrugged his shoulders and gave a shor t laugh. Then he heard car t i res sp inning in the gravel dr iveway.

Mrs. Barke r looked at he r husband ' s angry profile and said, " H a r r y ,

I know they shouldn't play the re and I'll maker her unders tand a f t e r th is ."

"Didn ' t you hear any th ing this morn ing about the rock f a l l i n g ? " he asked her in an acid tone. She remained silent. He continued, "A boulder fell in the quar ry . Fo r tuna te ly it only killed a dog."

" B u t i t 's a l ready happened," she answered, with a quizzical look on her face . He looked a t her .

"P lease Mary," he begged, ag i ta ted by her s tupidi ty , " I t rained on the whole qua r ry — a squirrel could probably s t a r t them moving. Old Jack Miller was down there when it happened. You know him, the whole town knew of it in an hour. He claims the rain really gu t t ed the place."

He had to stop the car f o r a red l ight. He should have been at work.

" B u t why," she asked, "didn ' t th is happen b e f o r e ? "

Now he was in a more contemplat ive mood. " I t s been coming," he explained, "ever , since tha t fool construct ion company le f t the place last yea r . "

Final ly they came to the ent rance , a dir t road off at an angle f r o m the main road. It wasn ' t real ly a qua r ry , but a hollow, the shape of a horseshoe in the side of a small mounta in . One side was s teep with p ro t rud ing boulders half sunk in the mud. The o ther side was not as steep.

He parked the car near the mouth of the enormous hollow and they got out of the car to find themselves alone. "There ' s the boulder," said Mr. Barker , pointing to a boulder res t ing on sha t te red s tones. " I t mus t have come f r o m the top," he reflected.

" W h e r e are the chi ldren?" asked Mrs. Barker . Mr. Barke r called his daugh t e r ' s name and received no response. Mrs. Ba rke r jumped a t the sound of a rock rolling down the slope. Then she picked up a cloth belt f r o m the ground.

"They ' r e here ," she exclaimed, "but why can' t we see t h e m ? " She turned to her husband and shook his a rm, saying, a lmost in t ea rs , " H a r r y , H a r r y , find them."

"Oh Mary stop i t ," he complained, shaking her hand f r o m his a rm. He wiped his brow and called f o r Elsy again . His voice cracked on a high pitch and his face g rew red. "Tha t Johnny Trudy a lways was a f r e s h kid," he said.

"E l sy , " shouted Mrs. Barker , spo t t ing Elsy and J o h n n y s i t t ing on a boulder seventy fee t up the s teep side. "Oh Elsy dar l ing ," she pleaded, "please come down r igh t away . Johnny please b r ing her down."

"Get down this second, both of you," ordered Mr. Barker . Johnny took hold of Elsy ' s hand and s t a r t ed to slide down.

"Let go," said Elsy, pul l ing her hand away, "I'll go down myse l f . " Johnny proceeded down by himself , a r r iv ing a t the bot tom with a cut knee.

"Elsy , what a re you wa i t ing fo r , " asked her mother . " I 'm scared," she said, barely audible.

"You got up there didn' t you," demanded Mr. Barker , "Well you come r igh t down."

"I can ' t , " said Elsy, and s ta r ted to cry sof t ly . H e r pa ren t s knew by the tilt of her head. A p layfu l cocker spaniel came out of the woods a t the top of the slope and s t a r t ed to bark while he ran back and fo r th . It loosened a stone f rom the mud. The stone fell and hi t Elsy ' s knee. She gave a quick but loud scream.

"Get outa there ," shouted Mr. Barke r . The dog kep t barking, but ran away as if it understood. "If i ts not one th ing its ano ther , " com-plained Mr. Barker . Up to now he had been annoyed; now he was scared.

"Daddy will go home wi thout you," he warned.

"Oh H a r r y stop it ," said Mrs. Barker . "Elsy , deares t , please come down. We'll have ice cream if you do."

Johnny Trudy ' s small voice in te r rup ted , "She can come, I 've seen he r . " Mr. Barke r gave him a serious s ta re .

While they continued to persuade Elsy, Mr. Clarens drove up be-hind the i r car in his s ta t ion wagon. He walked over beside them and looked up at Elsy. He had seen s imilar c i rcumstances f r o m working f o r them before. The s i tuat ion was a li t t le different th is t ime, but not much.

"Hi , " he called to Elsy, waving his hand a t her .

"Hi , " she called back sof t ly , keeping one hand on the boulder, and with the o ther wiping her cut knee with a fr i l led handkerchief .

"You look very, very silly up the re , " said Clarens, with a t eas ing smile.

"I do not ," she answered back.

"Oh yes you do," said Clarens, "And I bet I know someth ing you don ' t . "

" W h a t ? " she asked, as if she real ly didn' t care. "The worms are coming out where you dug up in the yard ." Mrs. Barke r tugged a t he r husband ' s sleeve, and said in quiet

exci temen, " H a r r y , look, she ' s s t a r t i n g to come down!"

Elsy took her t ime cortiing down and her pa ren t s didn ' t da re h u r r y her . They all were a f r a i d to b rea the while they watched — except Johnny . He stood with one foot in f r o n t of the o the r and his hands on his hips. The expression on his face said, "You d idn ' t ge t away with i t th i s t ime." As she crawled down one boulder i t s t a r t ed to move, and then stopped. Mr. Ba rke r had shu t his eyes a t the first movement . When she reached the bo t tom she ignored h e r p a r e n t s and walked to the car as if no th ing had happened. Mr. Ba rke r ' s h e a r t was bea t ing f a s t . He wiped the sweat off his brow with his d a m p handker -chief. Mr. Clarens and E l sy were walking hand in hand and both were g iggl ing .

Mr. Ba rke r cleared his t h r o a t and said, t r y i n g to sound casual , "Le t ' s all go home and have worms and ice cream f o r lunch-desser t . " Everybody laughed, including myself .

Moods I am riding into an abyss,

A long black tunnel t h a t is s t re tch-ing into e tern i ty .

Suddenly two black l ights pierce the darkness .

They meet me and pass and again it is dark .

The loneness and darkness make me ponder .

Of God and man.

Of e tern i ty . Of the universe, Of t ime and space.

F r igh t en ing quest ions all of them. How small and un impor tan t I am! I have to stop.

1 am a f r a i d of my thoughts . Then I am ashamed.

I am not alone, there are o thers in this tunnel .

Soon I s t a r t again and feel at peace.

My tunnel no longer seems dark and endless.

The Fog The world is lonely and silent and

still.

A s o f t white fog d r i f t s lazily over a spongy rain-soaked ea r t h ;

Fallen leaves rust le and rasp along silent s idewalks.

Pushed by the cool caress ing finger of the a imless breeze;

And f a r off in the distance

Like an ancient mons te r of the deep, bellowing f o r his ma te .

The foghorn sends i ts for lorn song of sadness th rough the misty

st i l lness of the n ight . The s t aca t to drip, drip, drip of rain Fal l ing th rough t h e blackend t rees Which s t re tch t he i r naked a r m s

toward heaven;

The longing honk of a lonely duck As he wanders across the pink-

s t reak 'd sky —

These a re the only sounds which break the serene sti l lness of the night .

But suddenly the quiet is sha t t e red by a gonging , bonging peal of chapel bells,

Sending a v ib ran t tone resounding th roughou t the countryside.

Echoing and re-echoing th rough the d i s t an t hills.

Until th is sound too fades into the encircl ing vapor .

And e a r t h again is encompassed in cool, misty , sti l lness.

A/le and Leigh Only a f ew kids, of which I was

the youngest , lived in our neigh-borhood. There were the Hoffman boys, the Gallows, the Tonners and Leigh Wax, who was my best f r iend . "Me and L e i g h " liked the same things, played the same games , stole the same lumber, and ran the same way. W e were bud-dies. We were b ro thers . We were "Me and Leigh." H e lived on a small f a r m not more than a hun-dred yards behind my house, with his g r a n d f a t h e r and g randmother , Mr. and Mrs. Jus t ice Scheffer. It was the per fec t s e t t i ng fo r a lmost any kind of game our minds could d ream up. There was a small barn with a blacksmith shop in the rear . There was a p ig pen, a hay house, a duck coop and a maze of g rape arbors , which, every September , were laden with huge purple g rapes that we stole with the danger of losing our lives, f o r t ha t was the source of Mr. Scheffer ' s wine sup-ply f o r the nipping winter months that lay ahead.

Almost every day we played a di f ferent game, with di f ferent char-acters , and places. One d a y we would be western gunsl ingers , the next day we would be a couple of dogfaces in Germany or mar ines in the Pacific, and ano ther day we would don capes and ba th ing suits, leap f r o m the porch roof and be-come the dreaded foe of every criminal — Muscleman and Muscel-boy. Since I was three years younger than Leigh, I was obvious-ly the boy.

Sometimes, when I called fo r Leigh to come out and play with me, his g r a n d f a t h e r would fling open the door and look a t me as if I were a complete s t r a n g e r and mumble, in his thick German ac-cent, "Leigh ain ' t here . He went to Hoboken on his "big wheel ." Sometimes he said "Weehawken" but I knew be t te r t h a n to t ake him seriously. Leigh wasn ' t even al-lowed to ride his "big wheel" beyond the end of the driveway.

But on most mornings, when I called f o r Leigh, he'd come running out with his mouth still full of egg and toas t , his shir t flying behind him and his g r andmothe r flying be-hind tha t , hollering a t him to come back and "Essen ! Essen, or you get s ick!" But she ra re ly caught him and he rarely got sick.

So off we would run to the barn, which was a kind of s t a r t i ng place.

One day, in par t icular , we de-cided to p lay commandos. We hunted up our equipment , including homemade rifles, and sat down to plot our adventure .

" W e must be soldiers a t t ack ing a German camp down a t the swamp," I said, "and we're buddies and you must be the l ieutenant and I must be a se rgean t . "

" N o , " said Leigh, "You m u s t be

the Germans and I mus t be the Americans ."

"No" , I said "Tha t ' s no fun . If we're not on the same side we can' t plan toge ther . "

"But if we ' re on the same side we won't have anybody to fight."

"Yeah, but we can make believe, can' t w e ? " I persis ted.

"O.K." Leigh said.

We put on our un i fo rms and s ta r ted off th rough the woods, only s topping a long the way to smear our faces with charcoal and mud for effect. And then off we t rekked

•and f o u g h t away the morning by scar tch ing ourselves in a br iar patch, fa l l ing down a bank of shale and crawling through the town dump, paus ing every so o f ten to heave a whiskey-bott le or beer-can hand grenade and smash an old ice-box tank open so we could riddle with bullets the ma t t r e s s German soldier tha t was inside.

We marched home t ired, dir ty , scratched, bleeding and proud. We had lived th rough another bat t le .

It was on t h a t long march home tha t "me and Leigh" decided to build a hut , and he assured me tha t his g r a n d f a t h e r had more lumber in the barn than he would ever use. We climbed th rough a back window into the loft and let ourselves down, guns still in hands.

"You m u s t be the lookout and your name mus t be J im. I must be Joe ," Leigh said, "Whis t le Yan-kee Doodle when the Gestapo be-gins to come." His g r a n d m o t h e r was the Gestapo, though not as feared as the Storm Troopers , which were embodied in his grand-fa the r .

I stood a t the door while Leigh, or Joe, noisely threw the lumber out the window of the lof t .

I heard a door slam and peeked out to find Mrs. Scheffer waddl ing across the yard accompanied by her fiercest look. I turned around to whistle. I blew, but nothing hap-pened. I blew again with no be t te r results , j u s t as Mrs. Scheffer screamed, " W h a t are you d o i n g ? " I heard Leigh drop the lumber and leap out of the loft window. Then he dashed in the direction of my house with me running a close second.

" I ge t you!" she yelled. "I ge t you!" But she didn't . When we stopped runn ing we were a t my f ron t porch, where my mother in-formed me tha t even soldiers had to eat . And worse yet, she sent Leigh home to face wha t I was

sure would be concentrat ion camp for the res t of the day.

So it was t h a t the platoon of "me and Le igh" was disbanded; and we didn ' t see each o ther again fo r quite awhile; not until the next day when we met in a noisy, duck coop saloon and drank barre l wa te r and jel lyjuice.

Futility He walked down to the sea and

stopped at the place where w a t e r gr inds sand into nothingness . He

lifted his eyes and saw two tones of blue merge into one. The sound and the sight held him spellbound. And he sighed.

But the sereni ty of the moment gave way to t ha t perennial fee l ing of lostness.

Why must a man s u f f e r ? Why must the unreal seem real and the supposedly real slip f r o m his g r a s p ? Is the world too small a closet even f o r finite m a n ? Why

must One bear the burden of an unthinking mank ind? Is there no helpmate abroad ?

But where is J o b ? Gone. And what of Lear? Gone also. The

other g rea t seekers in the pas t a re gone and those of the f u t u r e , they are yet unborn. In the mids t of the dead and the unborn these thoughts cause pain.

A seagull cries overhead. The

erubescence of the horizon tells of night . And foot p r in t s lead into the sea.

So Great Was My Sin

I know I am going to die. Not today or tomorrow, but somet ime in the f u t u r e . Tha t mus t sound s t r a n g e to you. You are probably thinking, " W h a t is d i f ferent about you tha t you should not die, j u s t as we all m u s t ? " But you a re mor ta l and have a lways been, and know no bet ter .

I have been us ing the pronoun, I, j u s t as you h u m a n s do, but actual ly it would be more exact to say we. For we a re one but also many. This concept may be difficult for you to g rasp , so we shall re-turn to the more unders tandable usage and r e f e r to us, as I.

I am a plant . Most h u m a n s con-sider me an ordinary house plant , though all a re very much impressed by my unusual beauty . For the last ten years I have resided on the sun-porch of a home belonging to Mrs. Ash, a sweet , whi te-haired widow of seventy. I t has been pleasant here. F rom my place on the porch I command a generous view of the roadway and can easily see and hear the television set in the next room. Yes, l ife has been good to me f o r a long t ime, bu t th ings were not a lways so.

Perhaps , before I continue f u r -ther, I had be t te r r eg res s and dis-cuss my abili ty to see and hear . I do not have senses a s h u m a n s do, but I have a power of perception or aes thesia . In shor t , I am sen-tient. I t should not be too long and you humans shall discover this

in your Aestho-physiology studies. Then too, I have developed a

power of locomotion. How can a plant move i tself , you a s k ? Again, please unders tand tha t you humans are ignoran t of many fac t s of science. You feel t ha t you have achieved wonders in these fields and will soon know all. But how wrong you are . The secrets of the sciences and the universe are vas t and your present knowledge but a minute pa r t of the whole. My locomotion is derived th rough con-centrat ion. It has only been dur-ing the pas t century , however, t ha t I have Ijeen aware of th is power. And too, it is l imited. I astonished my last mis t ress many times in the past , by crossing the room dur ing the night . But she was a simple soul and a lways established sa t i s fac to ry explanat ions for the s t r ange happenings . This lack of concern on her pa r t caused me to abandon any f u r t h e r exper iment ing . At my present home I had never considered doing such a thing, f o r fea r it would dis t ress my ,mis t r e s s , for whom I, with my deepest per-ception, have nothing bu t love.

Pe rhaps in tell ing my story I should s t a r t a t the beginning. You

all know the s tory of Adam and Eve. How God created the Garden of Eden, into which He put these first humans , whom He had created in His Image . They communicated with all the animals and flora in the garden and, until they sinner, were immorta l . A f t e r thei r fa l l and expulsion f r o m the garden, things were different . I can a t t e s t to this , f o r I was there .

As t ime passed, the an imals one by one also sinned, and were banished f r o m the garden , and thus became subject to dea th . However, we, the flora, retained our pur i ty and lived quite sinless. The subse-quent years passed uneventfu l ly since communication a m o n g us was almost completely stopped, once the humans and animals had lef t .

Dur ing this t ime, the world had grown evil. Thus the Lord selected

Noah and his fami ly as the pures t of the humans and caused a g r ea t

flood, which destroyed all l ife but that which Noah had taken into the a rk . I was one of those selected

to go. Pe rhaps it is f a t e or else a

necessity f o r my continued im-mor ta l i ty ; bu t many t imes du r ing

my life, have I escaped dea th in such a manner . There was my escape f r o m Pompeii . I t was a wicked city, where all the inhabi t -an ts indulged in sin quite openly, as if in defiance of the i r inherent

Moral Sense. One morning a wo-man f r o m a dis tant city, who had been vis i t ing with my mis t ress , pleaded to t ake me home with her . So g r e a t was my beauty t h a t a t my mis t r e s s ' re fusa l , she stole me and Returned to her home. The very next day , Vesuvius e rup ted and dest royed all l ife in Pompeii .

I could continue f o r hours, r e l a t ing s imilar escapes and discussing travels , which carried me to prac-

shall die, because f o r one ins tan t , out of billions of years , I allowed

myself to ha te . I t was f o u r days ago. My mis-

t ress ' son had re turned home f r o m prison. I had never seen him be-

fore and was quite shocked to see how thoroughly evil he was. My mis t ress is a wonderfu l woman, of

g r ea t unders t and ing and compas-sion, such as no human I have ever before encountered. She was de-

lighted to have him home and held

no love back f rom him because of his pas t . So good she is. He le f t the house ear ly the next morn ing wi thout even a good-by and did

not r e tu rn again until late t ha t night . Dur ing the day, my mis t ress spent much t ime pray ing , as al-

ways — this t ime thank ing God f o r having re tu rned her son to her . She sprinkled me with wa te r , chat-

ex t r avagen t f r e e —Ethe l Smith

The Fraternity Man From the ivy-covered towers and the green enfol iaged bowers

of the colleges across this p leasant land. Comes a be t t e r breed of human, whose perception and acumen

are a t t es ted to by all the f ac t s at hand. He has cast into negat ion though ts of mass association,

in the f avo r of relat ion with a small and chosen band; With this g roup of pals f r a t e r n a l in act ivi t i t ies nocturnal

he d ispor ts himself , with g lass and pipe in hand.

The t ies he 's fond of wear ing a re of hues both br igh t and g l a r ing and esthet ical ly a re nothing short of sin.

But his coat ' s a th ing of beauty ' though it 's seen fou r seasons du ty and the elbows may be wear ing sl ight ly th in .

If his bra in is sophomoric and his g r a s p of t h ings historic tends to fill his Greek ins t ruc tor with chagr in .

To his girl he is a hero, more maginficent than Nero, when he gives to her his Pi A l f a l f a pin.

T h o u g h his background was bucolic and quite innocent of f rol ic , he had come to school to loaf away his t ime,

And he knew init iat ion was the very p repa ra t ion tha t would s t a r t him on his college social climb.

When the Pi A l f a l f a m e t him, they agreed they 'd have to ge t him, f o r they liked to choose the i r raw mate r ia l pr ime.

But how he became a bro ther surely would have shocked his m o t h e r ; what they did to him was cer ta inly a cr ime.

He was first of all required, while in sleeping clothes a t t i red , to roam the city s t r ee t s at s t roke of noon.

And i t didn ' t help his feel ings, when, wi th bowings and with kneel ings , he was forced to shine his loving b ro the r s ' shoon.

All his r epas t s lost the i r savor as he analyzed the i r flavor, such as sawdust sprinkled over boiled prune .

And his f r i ends could well detect him by the cheese with which they 'd decked h im,

f o r the odor was enough to make one swoon.

But ini t ia t ion 's over and our f r i end is now in clover; by these myst ic r i t e s he h a s become a man.

There is no th ing you can label as a mora l in th i s fab le except the t ip wi th which the poem began .

I t is th i s of which I 'm speaking: if success in life you ' re seeking. You'd do well to t ake this counsel as your p l an :

Be t te r cas t into negat ion though t s of m a s s association in the f a v o r of relat ion with a small and chosen clan.

Hope Musicians To Give

Starlit Pops Concert To climax its season on campus

the Hope College music department is presenting MUSIC UNDER THE STARS a grand finale pops con-cert. The festival of music will be performed Monday, May 21 in the Pine Grove hopefully under the s tars . Proceeds from the concert will be used exclusively to aid in the completion of our new music building. Tickets costing fifty cents may be purchased directly f rom your f ra tern i ty or sorority representative or at the Student Council office.

Included in the broadscope of at t ract ions are vocalists and in-s t rumental is ts f rom nearly every section of our music department . To open the program Emcee Stan Harrington will introduce the Band under the direction of Dr. Rider performing a medley of Rogers and Hammerstein favorites. Under the apt hand of Marcia Veldman the Minors, a group of sixteen sen-ior girls, will sing a group of sev-eral popular sons. To offer a s t imulat ing contrast of moods a vibrant t rumpet trio fea tur ing Bill Meengs, Keith Brower, and Carrow Kleinheksel antecede Gerry Kruyf accompanied by the Band singing "Some Enchanted Evening from South Pacific. An organ solo by Marianne Wildschut and barber shop harmony under the direction of Bill Vander Yacht also add pleasing elements in the hetero-geneous picture. Cal Langejans who has writ ten the theme music fo r the program along with Terry Zylman, Harold Ritsema, and Ron Ackerman will fo rm the smooth strains of a sax quartet playing "Lisbon Antiqua" and Jericho". To conclude the evening on a s t i rr ing note the Hope College Choir under the direction of Dr. Cavanaugh will perform the Negro spiritual "Set Down Servant" and the ever in-spiring "Batt le Hymn of the Re-public."

Kruithof to Speak At Joint Banquet

The Reverend Dr. Bastian Kruit-hof, now of the Beverly Reformed Church in Grand Rapids, will be the af ter-dinner speaker at the Kappa Delta-Alpha Chi banquet on May 14, at 7:00 p.m. in Voorhees Hall. His topic will concern "The Con-tribution of the Liberal Ar ts Col-lege to Christian Education."

This banquet has become an an-nual event fo r both groups, by which the year 's activities are cul-minated. Preceeding the speaker on the program, next year 's officers for each group will be announced. The new officers fo r Kappa Delta are Lois Hoeksema, president; Carolyn De Young, vice-president; and Betty Vander Jag t , t reasurer . The secretary will be elected f rom the incoming freshman class. For Alpha Chi, Dick Rhem was chosen to head the group, with Martin Riekse as vice-president and Mel Van Hat tem as the secretary. Al-pha Chi's t reasurer will also be elected f rom next year 's f reshman

class.

Dr. Kruithof was born in the Netherlands and moved to this country a t an early age. He studied a t Calvin College and Seminary, at the University of Michigan, and at Columbia University. In 1953 Dr. Kruithof went to Europe fo r two years of study at the University of Edinburg, Scotland, and a t the Free University of Amsterdam.

Dr. Kruithof formerly t aught par t - t ime here a t Hope, and was secretary of the Board of Trustees fo r six years. In 1950-51 he was president of General Synod of the Reformed Church of America.

SO GREAT . . . (Continued f rom page 2)

should have perceived it, if she had. As I mentioned, he returned

home that night very late and in an obviously nervous state. He immediately sought his mother and demanded some money. Out of the goodness of her heart , she gave him ten dollars, which 1 know was all the cash tha t the poor dear had in the house.

"1 need money, not peanuts," he screamed at her, his face contorted with evil and hate. Not dismayed, she continued to extend him her love and replied tha t she regretted that she had no more to give him.

"Listen, you old bag, I've just killed a cop and gotta beat it out of town. You get me some money quick or . . ."

He didn't have time to finish the sentence, for the woman fell to her knees, praying and pleading to God to have the boy, before it was too late. Her act of praying fu r the r infuriated her son, who suddenly slipped a revolver f rom his jacket and pointing it at her head, scream-ed, "Get up, you old fool or I'll kill you."

The old woman looked up at her son, her face still expressing noth-ing but love and compassion. She couldn't fathom the possibility of her boy, the babe she had engend-ered, destroying her. But I knew! Yes, I perceived the unlimited depths to which this creature would sink, in sat isfying his ugly hunger.

For the first time in my life, I knew what it was to hate, and grew numb with' the f u r y of this newly awakened emotion.

Then, as the woman once again closed her eyes in prayer, 1 con-centrated on hurling myself at him with a tremendous force, in an at tempt to halt the murderous in-tent of the deadful creature. Per-haps the fac t that I had not ex-ercised this power for so long a time accounted for the result, for I struck the man's head with such percussion tha t I felt his skull crush beneath my weight. He crumbled to the floor, his eyes fixed in the blank stare of death.

The ordeal of the investigation is over and my mistress is recover-ing f rom the shock of the incident. Of course there were comments regarding the strangeness of the accident. One officer continued to ponder the question of why the dead man lay face down on the floor when he undoubtedly had slipped and fallen backward against my jardiniere? However, the in-disputable innocense and goodness of my mistress caused even this hardened officer to grow ashamed at having suspected foul play.

Yes, the ordeal is over and once more I rest in my former spot on the porch. I am not the least bit regretful fo r what I have done. Yet, all is not the same. For now I must begin to prepare for death. So great was my sin!

The men of Cosmopolitan piled up 69% points aga ins t the P r a t e r s 54-5/6, t he Arkies 41-1/6, the Emmies 25%, and the Knicks 19 points. The Cosmos grabbed e ight first places out of the four teen events to ac-count f o r their subs tant ia l lead. Al though no previous records were broken some very fine races took place th roughout the a f t e rnoon . The winners of the individual events were as fol lows:

Shot P u t : Van Hoven, Cosmos, 39 , 4%".

Broad J u m p : Carey, F r a t e r s , 18'9".

High J u m p : Weers ing , F r a t e r s , 5 ,0".

High Hurdles: Schoon, Cosmos, 17.9.

Medlay Relay: Cosmo team, 3:59.2.

100 Yard Dash : Hendrickson, Cosmos, 10.8.

440 Yard Dash : Vander Laan , Arkies , 60.3.

Congra tu la t ions are in order to

Linkmen Win Three Hope 's golf t eam finally go t on

the victory road by sweeping pas t Adr ian a f t e r losing the i r first t h ree M.I.A.A. matches .

The Dutch squad took every match f r o m the Bulldogs as they won by a 15-0 score. Ray De Does and Bill K r a m e r shared medal is t honors with 75. Bill Holt posted a 76, while Bob Burwitz and Bill Sandahl each came in with 88. Adrian did not have a man below 100.

A f t e r losing thei r opening M.I.-A.A. match to Kazoo the Dutchmen lost to Hillsdale by a score of 1 0 % - 4 % . Bill K r a m e r copped med-alist honors with a 73. De Does lost as he shot an 81. Bill Hol t ended up with an 83 to lose his match. Bob Burwitz and Joe Mar -tin came through with 85 apiece.

The Hope linksmen went down to de fea t f o r the third consecutive t ime a t the hands of a well-bal-anced Albion squad. Only one Briton scored as high as 80 in the match .

The Hope College golf t eam turned back Grand Rapids J u n i o r College and Calvin College in a t r iangle meet Monday a t Blythfield Coun t ry Club.

The Dutch trounced Calvin 12-3 f o r the i r second s t r a i g h t M.I.A.A. win and edged J . C. 8 % - 6 % . The

match was decided on the final hole when Bob Burwitz canned a 12 f o o t pu t t , good f o r 2% points .

F r a n k Skestone of J . C. w a s medal is t with a 77. T e a m m a t e J i m Salik and Hope's Ray De Does fol -lowed with 78's. For Hope, Bill Holt had an 82; Bill Kramer , 84; Burwi tz , 85; and Joe Mar t in , 95.

F rom all indications the May Day athletic p rog ram was well received and may be ad judged a huge suc-cess. The events in both the morn-ing and a f t e rnoon were run off very smoothly with f ew hitches or diffi-culties occuring — outside of a f ew cases of f a t i g u e in the a f t e rnoon — providing a day of en ter ta in-ment to spec ta to r s and contes tants — those who could still see — alike. For this fine organizat ion thanks should be p ro fe r r ed to Bet ty Burn-ete, Barb van Put ten , and Mary Hesselink who a r r anged the wo-

men's events, and to Tom Har r i s and J im Cooper who coordinated the men's events .

This year ' s May Day brought about even keener r iva l ry than did last year ' s competi t ion, with two records fa l l ing in the women's division — both due to the able per formance of Betsy Cole, Fresh-man spr in te r — and an excit ing come-from-behind bat t le between the F r a t e r s and Cosmos occuring in the men's contests .

At the conclusion of the morn-ing's events the F re shmen gir ls held a slim two point lead which was swi f t ly annihi la ted a t the bad-mit ton tourney in the a f te rnoon, which was swept by the Sophomore girls, enabling the l a t t e r to gain a tie a t the completion of the day 's activities.

In the men 's events the Cosmos managed to overcome a 16% point lead which the F r a t e r s had piled up at the conclusion of the field events by pers is tent ly copping first places in the running events. Over tak ing the F r a t e r s a t the conclusion of

Baseball-wise Coach De Vet te 's boys have managed to eke out a

3 wins 2 losses record thus f a r this season, but because of the inclem-ent wea the r have been hampered in the i r a t t e m p t s to ge t going on any extended s t reak . In f a c t 3 games have been called because of poor wea the r conditions. The com-ing games aga ins t Alma, who is as yet undefeated , will undoubtably tell the tale a s to the Dutchmen's potential t i t le contention. The Scots will field a s t rong t eam and a re favored to r epea t their champion-ship pe r fo rmances of the pas t th ree years . However, with a f ew hi ts in the r igh t places and a t imely pitch-ing pe r fo rmance or two, the Dutch could well upset these plans. Coach De Vet te will probably throw his ace pi tcher J a c k Kempker aga ins t the Scots in the first game, to be followed up by Wayn Westenbroek, promising F r e s h m a n le f t -hander .

Coach Green has succeeded in fielding a t rack team which is con-sis tent ly able to cop first place honors in most of the events ; how-ever it is a team which is sorely at a loss where depth is concerned. In the three meets held thus f a r , the Dutch thin-clads have compiled a total of 196% points as aga ins t the same number f o r thei r oppo-nets, winning aga ins t Calvin and Hillsdale and losing to Albion. However, the s t r ange th ing is t h a t

144 % of these points have been scored by only fou r men, with Paul Wieger ink bear ing the brunt of the load by scoring 55*4 points. The loss of J o h n De Vries, s t a r pole vau l t e r and broad j u m p e r (he holds the conference record in both events ) has been a severe blow. John in jured a tendon in his foot and it is doubt fu l if he will be able to pe r fo rm to his championship calibre f o r at least ano ther two weeks, if then.

Netmen Win, Lose Foiled by foul wea the r in th ree

of thei r last five scheduled matches , the Dutch ne t t e r s tu rned in only two pe r fo rmances one victory and one defea t . Matches aga ins t Olivet, Adrian, and Wayne were all post-poned and rescheduled, while again-st Alma the Dutch racke teers re-turned victorious winning by a score of 7-0 a f t e r which they were soundly beaten by the same marg in at t he hands of the perennial champs Kalamazoo.

Aga ins t A l m a the s te l la r p laying of Boersma, Teusink, Remmelts , and Saunders permi t ted each of them to ca r ry away decisive singles victories. The two doubles t eams of Je l t e s -Boersma and Remmelts-Saunders also cleaned the deck by whisking both Alma couplets com-pletely off the i r fee t .

However meet ing Kalamazoo the Dutchmen found the tables ent i re ly turned, and they themselves were forced to succumb a f t e r fee l ing the pa inful s t ing of a loaded horne t squad.

BaseballTeam Wins Over Kazoo, Calvin

Hope College's baseball nine spl i t even in a doubleheader with Kala-mazoo as the Dutch lost the first game 6-2 and won the night cap 3-0.

Jack Kempker turned in a mas-ter fu l two hit pi tching pe r fo rmance to gain credit f o r the second g a m e victory. The only Hornet hi ts came on a bunt in the first inning and a hit to deep shor t -s top in the f o u r t h . Jack exhibited superb control as the men f rom Kalamazoo were able to drive three pi tches out of the infield.

The Dutchmen got only two hi ts off of Ron Low, however, they were in the sixth inning dr iv ing across three runs. Kempker opened t h a t sixth f r a m e by b las t ing a double. Jack was t rapped when Thomson hit to the pi tcher and was t agged out. Dick Ortquis t then hit a f ly ball to centerfield which was drop-ped allowing Thomson to score.

John Adams followed by d rawing a base on balls. Dave Woodcock then singled Or tquis t and A d a m s home with the insurance runs to clinch the victory f o r Hope.

In the opening contest Ka lama-

zoo pushed across a single ta l ly in the th i rd inning to t ake the lead. The Hope men took over the lead in the sixth inning by push ing over two runs. A r t Olson tied the ^core by singling Dick Or tqu is t home. Carl DeVree then sacrificed John Adams home on a fly ball to the outfield. It appeared tha t the Dutchmen might be in the lead to s tay with Wayne Westenbroek sail-

ing a long smoothly. The le f t -hander allowed only two-hits in the first seven innings. However, the Hor-nets tall ied five runs in the e ighth inning. They put t oge the r th ree bunt singles, two walks, and a long base hi t to g rab a 6-2 victory over the Dutch nine.

The wea the rman put the d a m p e r on the second a t t e m p t of the Hope College baseball team to play the i r first home game of the season. A

double header scheduled f o r River-view Pa rk aga ins t Calvin was rained out and the g a m e moved to Grand Rapids. Here only par t ia l ly successful , the second game was washed out too, the Dutchmen man-aged to whip the Knigh t s by a 10-2 score in the opening contest .

Beginning with a f a s t s t a r t , the Hope nine scored two runs in the first inning as Or tquis t and A d a m s walked and Gerry Boeve drove them in with a single. Calvin, then up to bat , back and scored its first run on an e r ro r and a single by the pi tcher . The Dutch in the second inning increased their lead even f u r t h e r as Woodcock s a f e on

an e r ro r came all the w a y home on a passed ball. The Knigh t s picked up a singleton in the fou r th on three consecutive singles. In the fifth Hope tall ied t h i ee runs when Ar t Olson tr ipled with the bases loaded. Then in the e ighth the Dutch beat out five h i t s to push across f o u r runs and safe ly tuck away the ball game. Arnie Boeve opened the inning wi th a double followed by Carl De Vree with a base on balls. Then Gerry Boeve smacking out a single drove across one run . Woodcock then walked to load the bases. J im Stout h i t to bring in two more tal l ies , while to finish the ral ly Or tqu is t singled and Woodcock came over with the tenth run.

W a y n e Westenbroek was the s t a r t i n g and winning p i tcher f o r the Dutchmen. His p i tching was character ized by smooth, accura te del ivery, until the e igh th inning when he got into t rouble main ly because of e r ro r s in t h e field. J i m Stout relieved him e a r n i n g by his credible pe r fo rmance sure ty of a f u t u r e s t a r t i ng ass ignment .

Thinclads Victors Over Hillsdale

Bouncing back a g a i n s t Hillsdale a f t e r thei r s t ing ing de f ea t a t the hands of Albion, the Dutch t rack-s te rs won first places in every run-ning event and copped the relay to

win thei r M.I.A.A. dual meet by the score of 70% to 60%.

Proving to be ex t remely close, the outcome of the meet was not certain until the last event had been run. Tra i l ing 42% to 11% as the field events ended, Hope found the marg in difficult to g a p and would have lost by five points had they not won the re lay.

Paul Wieger ink aga in stood out as the top point g e t t e r with three firsts, in the 100 yard dash, and 120 yard high and the 220 yard low hurdles . He took second place in the broad jump. Dave Spaan

and Herbie Widmere followed close behind both t ak ing double firsts, Dave in the 440 and 220, and Herb in the mile and two mile gr inds . Curt Menning was ano the r blue ribbon winner copping first in the 880, while J i m Hi lmer t won the only field event, f i r s t wi th a leap of 5 '6" in the high jump.

Albion Sweeps Over Dutch in Track

Overcome by the force of sheer brute s t r eng th , Hope 's t rack men wheeled and fell before the on-s laught of the power fu l defending M.I.A.A. champions, Albion Col-lege. The Bri tons swep t e ight firsts and a m a j o r i t y of the second and

third places to r e tu rn home with a lopsided 82-49 victory.

In spite of the dolorous whole, pa r t s of the p ic ture s tand out as pleasing b r igh t spots f o r the down-

trodden Dutch. Paul Wiegerink, who has consis tent ly tu rned in stel-lar hurdles pe r fo rmances , reached

an apex as he smashed both the Hope and the M.I.A.A. records in the 220 yard low hurdles . Pressed by Albion s t a r A1 Leppi, who edged Paul out in the high hurdles . Wigs

cracked the Hope record, which had stood since 1937, by .3 of a second and the Conference m a r k by .1

running the event in 24 seconds flat.

Dave Spaan runn ing surpr i s ing ly well f o r so ea r ly in an uncoopera-tive season broke the t ape in the

quar ter -mi le in 50.6 seconds top-

ping his own previous school rec-ord. Dave is expected to improve even f u r t h e r , before the M.I.A.A. Field Day rolls a round.

F r e s h m a n L a r r y T e r Molen who so ably filled Bob Hendricksons shoes in the Shot P u t event con-tinued Bob's t radi t ion of copping first place by heav ing the ball 40 f t .

9 in. Versat i le J i m Hi lmer t , the Jack - of - all - t r ades on the t eam, chalked up firsts in both the high jump and the discus events , while taking th i rds in the broad j u m p and high hurdles .

Still handicapped by his foo t in-jury, John De Vries who holds M.I.A.A. records in the pole vaul t and broad j u m p could only take second places in these events . Miler Herbie Widmer came in second in his special i ty before pu t t i ng on a

t remendous spr in t in the two mile event.

The s i tuat ion m i g h t have been different had Hope the depth to

cop more second and th i rd places. The ent i re t eam th is year lacks adequate depth which in m a n y

meets may mean the difference be-tween victory and de fea t . Some

help may come with the addit ion of Pete Bylenga who came out f o r the squad the n igh t of the meet . Pe te ran a 10.5 hundred and a 23.5 two-twenty to come in f o u r t h in both events.
