This is the 268th day of the year

1935, and the 303rd day of the

159th year of our independence. 50

years ago Dr. Nykerk w a s grad-

uated from Hope college. The next

full moon wil l shine Oct. 11. How-

ever, the first two or three weeks

are best spent in making an im-

pression upon the faculty , anyway.

DE WITH PLEASED

President Wynard W i c h e r B

brought new triumph to himself

and distinction to Hope recently

when he was knighted into the

order of Orange-Nassau by her majesty , beloved Queen Wilhel-

mina of the Netherlands. Al though Dr. Wichers received a te legram in-

forming him of his appointment

three weeks ago, word of the honor

was not brought to l ight until Fri-

day's announcement by Jacob Stek-

etee, Grand Rapids consul for the Netherlands.

According to Dr. Henry Beets,

one of the trio in western Michigan

who now hold the t i t le , knighthood into the order of Orange -Nassau is

a reward fv<r dist inguished service

to the mother country in regard to

social welfare and cultural upl i f t -

merit. Also considered, is influence in making known and distinguish-

ing the Dutch race throughout the world.

It is thought that Dr. Wich#rs received his appointment upon the recommendation of Jonkheer H. M.

Haersma de With, Netherlands minister at Washington, who re-

ceived a doctorate degree from

Hope Ia^t -pring, and v.-as inuih -

impressed by Dr. Wichers' abilit ies and accomplishments .

A new fire escape has been the

pride and jollification of the col-

lege g ir ls during the past week.

The addition has been placed in

the back of the gir ls ' dormitory

and is one of the new spiral

escapes with numerous twists and turns.

It is reported that the girls have

been seriously contemplat ing pur-

chas ing ski suits in order that the

ride might be made more comfort-

able. The big quest ion before the

campus is whether the girls will be

abe to slide in and out a f ter eleven

is that "the girls can slide out but not in."

Challenging Drama

Opens at Hope

IN the s tudy of drama, much emphasis is placed upon the "opposing forces" which give charac ter to the plot.

Throughout the majo r par t of a play, the audience is in doubt as to whether or not the hero, or heroine, will su rmount all the obstacles t ha t beset him. The manner in which the lead-ing actor meets and overcomes each obstacle develops and determines his character . Dramas in which the obstacles prove too overwhelming for the leading person are called

" tragedies ." We a re r inging up the curtain on a d r ama which might

facetiously be called "Life Begins at College." Our fellow-students and our professors will l)e the critical audience; each

of us will be a leading actor. Unfor tunate ly , we won't know until February ju s t how critical the

fo rmer will be. Difficulties and disappointments will come to

all of us. Let us be thankfu l for them. Let us

a t tack our problems with enthusiasm and conquer them with a cheerful spirit. Resistance is essential to progress. The airplane would not s tay aloft were it not for the p ressme of the wind against the plane. Opposition seasons our judg-

ments, mellows our personality. He confident tha t you are not the only one grappling with

disconserting si tuations. Don't be a " t r agedy!" Give your audience a worthwhile show!

Holland, Michigan.

Dear Coppies: We certainly appreciate your

sending out the force to protect us

Friday night. It really was very

sweet and considerate of you. Our

only regret is that you didn t come

a few minutes earlier. ^ ou know, coppies (you don't mind if we call

you coppies, do y o u ? ) , it's a lways

an impossible job to wake up those

unsuspecting dormies who never dream that we're coming. Now,

you could have helped us if you

had timed your arrival a little more

accurately. What could have been

more delightful for all the little

dormies than to have been awak-

ened from their deathly sleep by

the strains of the si l ly symphony played by two of our musically-

minded men as a police whis t le

duet ?

You were downright decent and polite in l istening to reason, too.

When we explained to you that we

didn't exactly believe a guard was

necessary because oo of us stal-

warts could handle all the gunmen

Holland had to offer, you were

dastardly clever in catching the

hint. Our only complaint is your

woeful lack of appreciation of

music. You simply have no rhythm in your soul. e like to have our

protecting militia join in the har-mony. As serenaders you just

aren't worth your buttons, or even a Hoover-for-President button. In

The programs presented by the

St. Cecelia Society in the Civic

been announced for the coming

those f r e s h m e n interested in

socialism or in get t ing Norman

Thomas as our next president, he

is will ing to grant special inter-

views. Arrange your own dates

and. girls, we advise you to get

your bid in early to avoid the rush.

And then there's that fe l low who

runs around the campus with a

perpetual harried and worried

countenance. Yes, he is the Anchor

editor, Cal Vander Werf. Very

handsome, n'est-ce p a s ? Seriously

though, he is an intel l igent lad.

His all A record for four high

school and two college years is something to be proud of, to say

nothing of his many extra-curri-

cular artivities. He is your model,

Frosh—go thou and do l ikewise.

Now let me present the Y.W.C.A.

president. Vera Damstra. - Quiet,

unassuming, she makes her way

around the campus and into the

hearts of everyone who knows her.

Hers is a dignified, sincere nature

ever to be admired. And how she

can play basketball! It's too bad

Hope has no girls' team so that

Vera could "strut her stuff" before

appreciative spectators. However,

I sugges t that you Frosh who in-

tend to become basketball stars, go

watch her practice and see how it's

done.

Next in line is John Henry Piet

— that's all — who holds the rung

opposite Vera in Hope's act ivit ies

ladder. He is the Y. M. president.

He plays basketball, too; helped

the Cosmos team bring home the

cup last year and says he'll do the

same this year. This, however, is

as far as the resemblance between

the two presidents goes. John has

curly blond hair, the envy of all

who look upon it, and he comes

from Grand Rapids. Which just

goes to show that someth ing can

come out of nothing, but as in this

case, 'tis rare indeed.

And thus endeth the parade of

personalities. We hope you Frosh

will put on one of yours soon and

T h e r e w a s considerable pre-

school activity. A faculty recep-

tion in the dormitory with Mrs.

Durfee as hostess, at which the

new pedagogues came to meet the

veterans, was held last Monday

evening, the 16th, at 8 o'clock. Two delicious courses of refresh-

ments were served.

And, ending Monday forenoon,

the Senior Sorosites' house party

w a s an event of the preceding

week-end.

Tuesday, sleepy Delphi returned

to Holland before breakfast from

an overnight house party at

Hovens' cot tage on Lake Michigan;

Wednesday, s leepy Sorosis did like-

wise , a f ter breakfast , from Mrs.

Brooks' cottage at Ottawa. Both

of these hilarious home-coming

(so-called "slumber") parties fea-

tured short meet ings outlininR the

autumn plans for rushing, a great

many happy reunions, and not a

little night-prowling. The att i tude

of relaxation seems to have been

le f t unrealized by both groups.

During the wee hours Delphi was

rudely startled by the shots of a

couple of hunters, and it is rr-

ported that several Sorosit ics of

the class of *88 found the tloor ;i

hard place to sleep.

Aforementioned " m e e t i n V were

presided over by seniors president

Betty ( loehner of Flushing, New

York, Delphi, and presid'-nt Mar-

garet "Toodie" Van Raalte of Hol-

The plan adopted last spring

calls for a stronger recognition of

the needs of the more advanced

students in the department. Hm-

each paper. Programs will con.-Ut

truck whispered over the pavement

in Voorhees court. When some 55

col legians had si lently assembled,

when pianist, l ights, and conductor

"Klomp" were ready, the clear and

thril l ing strains of a bugle leaped

skyward, to l ift s leep from the

eyes of coeds and to announce the first serenade of the year — by Frater.

A f t e r the Frater song and in-

troduction of pledges, Ollie Van As

soloed "Star Gazing", and then the

lads did a couple of solo numbers

ensemble. Alumni James Net t inga

and Pres Van Kolken offered the

main feature of the serenade, a

story-and-song original pianologue

entit led "Evolution of College Romance."

That done, taps were sounded in

delicate echo-work, and like magic

disappeared the warblers. Pleased,

the Voorheesites adjourned to "spreads" and beds.

Yesterday afternoon from .'j to

.I Sorosis' first freshman tea

elapsed under the chairmanship of Jane Eldridge, with "Pres." Van Raalte pouring.

Delphi's initial new-gir ls func-

tion was day before yesterday, at

1 o'clock, poured by Delphians

Henrietta Kuizenga and Christine Ver Hulst.

Today, Dorian's first tea for new

girls is to be poured by Dorian

meren was general chairman.

Miss Ruth Van Appledorn, a six-

high school, is preparing a piano

recital consist ing of well known classic and modern composition to

be given here in October. Besides

having been a student in the Hope

col lege school of music for the last

five years, Miss Van Appledorn

merited the Grace Marguerita Browning scholarship in li»84. Mr.

Curtis Snow says , "Miss Van

Appledorn is a good example of

what consistent work plus talent can accomplish."

H o p e G r i d d e r s , 1 9 3 5 E d i t i o n M. L A. A. Race Expected to

Prove Close

Dales, Kazoo Strong

The M. I. A. A. football cham-

pionship race should again be very

closely contested. The conference

has teams of such equal strength

that the scores are always low and

ties are frequent. This year Hrlls-

dale, Kalamazoo, Alma and Hope

are rated very highly. Albion is

expected to be the weakest team in the conference.

The Hornets ai Kalamazoo have ten lettermen returning, six of

whom are seniors. Their co-cap-

tains, Wally Survilla and George Finlay, are expected to lead Kazoo

to another championship. However

Kazoo is picking Hillsdale as the team to beat.

Coach Harwood of Hillsdale re-ports ten veterans returning with

excel lent sophomore material to complete the squad. Hillsdale will again put a heavy, powerful team

on the field and they '^should be much stronger than last year.

The Scots of Alma have a vet-

eran team featuring the Block brothers. -

Albion has lost Alman, all M. I.

A. A. fullback, and will find it hard

to replace him. The rest of their

squad is not exceptionally strong. Coming home to Hope we find

the veterans returning are: Buys,

Heeringa, vander Velde, Robberts, Jappinga, Van Tatenhove, Tysse,

De Weerd, Leetsma and Mahon. Coach Hinga this year is coming

out with a crop of lateral and for-

ward passes, with which he hopes

to baffle the enemy sufficiently to bring home the well-known bacon.

The probable line-up and the weights are as fo l lows:

Frosh, Sophs Clash Oct. 4

I H E ANCHOR SOLICITS

S T U D E N T ADVERTISING

It won't be long now! What for?

Why, those green-clad youngsters , commonly known as the Frosh, and

the more lordly Sophs, are about to

clash in that ancient and honorable

fray for the possession of the Dim-

nent Cup. In other words, dear

readers, the Frosh-Soph games are

due to come off next Thursday and Friday, Oct. 3 and 4.

So. let's look into the matter a bit more deeply. The Sophs, no

doubt, will be seeking revenge for

their defeat last year at the handy

of the Class of '37. They will boast

the heavier pull team with "Skin-

ny" Van As, the captain, exhort ing

his men to bring the Frosh out of

their holes and into the river. That

tall, slim fel low that apparently is

eternally yell ing, "Heave, heave,

heave," is none other than George

Douma, the soph pull coach. Hang

your clothes on a hickory limb, but

don't go near the water, George.

Now we come to the Frosh. What

of them? Not so heavy, but with

lots of determination. "We'll win,

| thumbs down," quotes Denton Nor-

: kin, their captain. But, tell me, did

i you ever see a Frosh team that

i wasn't going to win? The Frosh

; coach is try ing to keep himself a

; secret but don't faint if you see our

good friend, Les McBride, urging his fledglings on to victory.

Gentle readers, list an ear. The

| pull won't be worth a continental if I the followers of both teams aren't

' crowding the banks of the old

! Black river. Both teams are out to do or die for dear old Hope, and

i it's up to you to be out there cheer-

ing for them. It will be a gruel l ing

and exhaustive contest, and it is up

to the rest of the collegians to back their teams to the limit.

With the opening game with

Ferris only three days distant, Hope college football fans sit back

to contemplate the prospects of its

co-championship eleven. Although

the outlook seems brighter be-

cause of a wealth of backfield

material and a more experienced

line. Coach Hinga labels the pros-pects as fair.
