IN PARADE

# Y. M. GOES * "OVER THE TOP" *

October 24 and 25 will be red-letter days at Hope this year, since that is the time of the annual Home-Coming. Olive Peeko, gen-eral chairman, reports that the committees in charge of the events are working hard, to make this the best ever, and the hints they give of the program sound as if they woultf succeed.

The Home-coming begins on Fri-day night, October 24, with a big parade, the feature of which will be floats made by every society. A valuable prize will be given to the society having the best float, and Elizabeth Arendshort and Gordon Alexander are the committee in charge of the award.

Next the students will assemble in Carnegie Hall for a program and pep meeting before the big game with Olivet Saturday. Cheers, stunts, and speeches will provide entertainment and dispel all doubts as tu the reality of Hope Pep. After the mass meeting there will be a bonfire in the "stadium" to bring enthusiasm to a white-heat.

Saturday afternoon is the game with Olivet. All the students and floats are asked to meet on 12th Street, near College Avenue, at 1:30 and parade to the football field, where a big section will be reserved for Hopeites. John Meengs and Verne Buhl will lead Hope stu-dents and alumni in cheers for vic-tory.

Olive Peeke is general chairman for the Home-coming and is assist-ed by the following people: Edwin Tellman, Paul Brouwer, Geneva Dogger, John Meengs, Elizabeth Arendshorst, Alice Boter, Grace Hudson, Gordon Alexander, and Verne Buhl.

At the Y. M. meeting last evening a total of $195 was pledged in support of the organization. This is the first year that the voluntary contribution system is used, and it's success is splendid. The faculty pledge of $59 is especially fine. This splen-did response, a^iid hard times, proves again that Christianity means sc/me-thing to the Hope man.

At the meeting Mr. Nicho-las J. Burggraaff, senior, was elected to the vice-presidency of the organiza-tion, to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. McGilvra's departure.

Alma Battles Hope at Home

This Saturday HOPE FIGHTING SPIRIT TO

GIVE CRACK ELEVEN A HARD BATTLE

In J he opening game of the M.I.A. A. conference, the Albion college football team won a hard fought contest from the Hope war-riors, 15-(). The game was played Friday evening at Alumni Field in Albion, and was the first in the history of the conference to be played under lights.

The Hope warriors, as they can be truly called, came out of the struggle without any serious in-juries and with a team spirit that will make them the most-feared group of players in the conference. The game was an exciting one, with the score not indicating how close the proteges of Coach ScHouten came to tripping the Methodists.

Albion presented a strong team upon the field. It was a veteran a?l? r egation with two hard games already under its belt. The Albion offense was strong and outgained the Hope team Ifi to 3 as far as first downs were recorded,

Tonight the Knickerbocker men are casting work and worry to the winds for a few brief hours to en-joy some of the legitimate pleas-ure's of college life.

They have leased the Virginia Park Skating Rink for the evening and are taking their fair guests there for an evening of enjoyment. The *party ^ill begin about 7:30 p.m. |

Mr. Edwin Tellman, senior, is in charge of the evening's program. He reports that all things are set for a real evening and indicates that there will be light refresh-ments to revive the weary skaters.

whenever the home club got within the Orange and Blue territory, Hope would hold with power that won admiration from the entire crowd.

Albion had the ball in Hope's territory during the first half, but she was able to score only once. Late in the first quarter, a run by Bruce Gray brought the ball to the 1-yard line, from where Gray

Nichols Chosen Orchestra Head

At Business Meet LARGE ORCHESTRA TO MAKE

INITIAL APPEARANCE AT

FIRST LYCEUM NUMBER

"Remember, orchestra practice at 7.00 o'clock," is the reminder on the card that each member receives on Wednesday. The students surely haven't forgotten it either, fo r j there was a large crowd last Wed-nesday evening and many new members; but there is always room for more. If there are any instru-mentalists on the campus who have not joined the new orchestra they will be warmly welcomed. Orches-tra practice is only once a week— from 7 to 9 o'clock, Wedensday nights. '

Under the very capable direction of Mr. Heeter, director of music at Holland High School and also director of our orchestra, the mu-sicians are progressing wonderfully well. They put in two solid hours of work and really are accomplish-ing remarkable things. One par-ticular reason this development is the fact that each one is so en-thusiastic and willing to do his part.

Dr. Nykerk thought that th4 orchestra could do its best work and also cooperate the best, if it was organized. John Muilenberg, as chairman, tbok charge of Mils business last Wednesday night and the following officers were elected: President Rudolph Nichols; Vice President, Roy Mooi; Secretary and Treasurer, Ethel Leestma. These officers are willing to do their share of work to make Hope's orchestra a success and under the guidance of Dr. Nykerk and Mr. Heeter t it cannot be otherwise. Now it is up to the student body to cooperate with them. Compliment than , cheer them along, and show your good sportsmanship by enlarging this

Saturday will be a big day for the football players and fans at Hope college as the Alma college eleven opens the home schedule of games at Riverview park. Alma, on its way to another football cham-pionship, will find the Orange and Blue clad men ready for the inva-sion and backed by the students and faculty.

Hope opened its season in the M.I.A.A. in fine style, even though \he breaks enabled Albion to win a 15-6 victory. Alma played at Oli-vet and won by a 13-6 count. The latter school is having its best sea-son.

Alma will present a club built around nine lettermen. The Pres-byterians held Michigan State Col-lege to four touchdowns in the opener. Heading the list of back-field threats is Carl Gussin, high point scorer in M.I.A.A. basketball last •eason. • Brown is also a good candidate. Other veterans are Pot-ter and Gray, tackles; McClellan, guard; Graham, end; Byron and Shimmers, centers; and Sharpe, halfback.

Hope, equipped with a wonderful fighting spirit, has been polishing the offensive play to cope with the Alma outfit. The team will be in the best of shape and ready to cop its first conference battle if such a thing is possible.

Several shakeups may take place in the lineup. Ron Fox looks like a regular halfback, with Frisema a promising Candidate for the regu-lar job a t center. Juist may break into the lineup, as he played a hangup game a t Albion.

The game will be played a t 2 o'clock. Every Hope student should be out to witness a feature football game of the season.

N E W PRESIDENT ACCEPTS POSITION AS A CALL TO A

GREAT SERVICE

STUDENTS ARE PLEASED

Will Succeed Dr. Dimnent Next Semester to Become Sixth

Hope President

At a meeting of the board of di-rectors held at the Warm Friend Tavern Thursday morning, October 9, Wynand Wichers was named to succeed Dr. E. D. Dimnent as presi-dent of Hope College.

The fact that Mr. Wichers has had considerable experience as a student, teacher, and business ex-ecutive qualifies him for this posi-tion. For eighteen years he was instructor and professor at Hope College and for the last four years he has been active as cashier and executive vice president of the First State Bank of this city. Be-side this work he is an active mem-ber of the Reformed Church, being a teacher and a Sunday School su-perintendent in the Third Reformed Church of Holland.

The new president, due to busi-ness arrangements which must be made, will not take over his new work until the second semester, which begins February 2, 1931.

Following is the speech of ac-ceptance given by Mr. Wichers:

"The Board of Trustees has just conferred upon me an honor which I deem to be the highest and most responsible within the gif t of the Reformed Church of America. Merely to be considered in the mat-ter is high honor indeed and to be elected President of Hope College is to be chosen for the largest of-fice of responsibility and influence in the church. I am hereby accept-

A Welcome and a Farewell

This is indeed a time of min-

gled emotions,—of joy and

sadness, as we greet a new

president and bid farewell to

the one whose place he is to

fill. How unfortunate that

while we gain, we must also

lose something precious and

loved. To the new we shout

a welcome and a hearty wish

for his success. May the

watchword of his administra-

tion be progress—progress

for Hope in every field of ac-

tivity. The knowledge of his

excellent preparation for the

position assures us that great

achievement will mark the

years of his service. The stu-

dent body wants him to know

and feel that it is right behind

him in any project he may

advance. We gratefully realize

that whatever he may do will l)e for our advantage, and we assure him again that he has our heartiest support and co-operation.

To the ($id we must say goodbye, but only to his l)odily presence. T h e indomitable spirit of our dear Dr. Dimnent shall remain a living force among us. Each of the twelve years of his administration has left marks upon the col-lege that can never be effaced by time. These years have been happy and prosperous years, filled with great deeds of love and service. The beau-tiful new chapel would be monument enough to enshrine the memory of any man, yet that is only the greatest of the wonders that he has per-formed for our school. We can never forget these things, though the author may have gone. Wherever he shall go, whatever he shall do, may he know that the love of Hope and its students, both past and present, follows him.

Again to you, President Wichers, we say "welcome,*' and to you, Dr. Dimnent, 'farewell." God bless and prosper you both!

Be Yourself

The boat that floats down

the river without a rudder is but a nutshell that twirls and

loiters in the eddies, hits the

s n a g a n d finally r u n s

aground on some sandbar or

sticks fast in some muddy

bay. But clamp a rudder on

the boat, put a man at the

helm, and the boat wiii gc true to its course as long as the helmsman stays awake.

We can, perhaps, for a mo-ment apply the principle to college life. Individuality is the rudder that guides each college student on his way. How that individuality is af-fected by beliefs or unbeliefs is another question. What the college student is guides Ir actions, determines his course/ a'nd brings him where he be-longs. If he drifts, hell cer-tainly stick in some mud-hole where life is nil and usefu ness still less.

All boats going down the Mississippi need not necessar-

ily go to New Orleans, but they all must needs go some-where. Its for them to^find where they belong. So the wide-awake college student takes into consideration his own personality, his gifts, his true self, and with them as guide steers clear of the shal-low places until he finds the pleasant or unpleasant harl where he belongs.

SENIORS TO HAVE JACKETS

At the meeting of the H.K.K. last Monday evening the male seniority of the school decided that they would wear gray corduroy jackets as a distin-guishing feature in dress. A Hope monogram will be put on each of the jackets the seniors wear. These garments are a combination of something serv-iceable and collegiate and show the superb taste and judgment

1 of the seniors. It is hoped that the jackets can be worn for the first time at Homecoming.

o—— Dr. W. J . Potts of the Class ,of

'18, and his family, are in Frank-fur t on the Main, Germany, where he is studying surgery. Mrs. ^Potti was formerly Henrietta Neerken of the Class of '17.

Wff wtfre pleased to hear that the H.K.K. is putting the Freshmen belligerets to work on tasks of some use. We would like to venture the suggestion that it might be nice if they should extend their activities somewhat and become a sort of an employment agency and keep the dear Freshies busy polish-ing shoes, et cetera, for sojne of us upper classmen who are so op-pressively busy that we. haven't the time to give our sartorial habili-ment the proper attention..

Some people have been hinting of late that Rip Van Winkle is on the 1930 Milestone staff.

1930 Milestone come out to look at the pictures and tell our grand-children we really did look like that "way back in '30."

And now in addition to our lit-erary efforts we are taking up im-pressionistic poetry, and my, how famously we are succeeding. All we do is eliminate all intelligence from our existence and take a walk to let things impress us. And oh, the impressions. (Once we were nearly impressed from the rear by an auto.) Then we write them down and throw them in a hat. They are then pulled out of the hat one by one. The first one out is the title and .the others follow in the order that they leave the hat. Of course we reiterate the title occasionery on some numbers in order to lend unity. We are very sorry to admit that some of our impressions have had to undergo considerable expur-gations before we could present them to our Hope readers, but we may have an unexpurgated edition out later. ("Unexpurgated" here should be taken in the conventional sense, i.e., the same as every other edition but business is slower now.) We are glad to announce that we have finished our first number and present it at this time. We might remark that this, as well as the majority of modern impressionistic poems, will be enjoyed more fully if read in an absolutely dark room with the eyes shut.

Well, well, now that that 's over good times are coming again. How-ever we wish our readers would bear in mind that this is our first venture in impressionism and we aren't quite on to the style yet.

Public Ovation Given Dimnent

And Wichers STUDENTS SHOW LOVE FOR

LEADERS OF DEAR OLD HOPE

The student body at Hope Col-lege is alive to developments in its Administrational machine. This was nicely verified in the demon-stration that followed the election of Mr. Wynand Wichers to the presidency last Thursday. About noon it began to be heard about the Campus that "they put Wichers in." Student spirit immediately crystalized as to what ought to be done. Plans were made at once in which both,the new president and Dr. Dimnent were recognized.

It was learned that Mr. Wichers would not return from Grand Rap-ids, where he was delivering a radio address until 10 P.M. A stu-dent demonstration was scheduled to begin from the entrance of Voorhees hall, a t 9:45. A riotous, exultant body of students of about

300 turned out to show its love for its leaders. Firs t they marched to the President's home on the Cam-pus to serenade Dr. Dimnent. After a few songs he was brought before the sudent body by Paul Brouwer, student president. Dr. Dimnent regretted the fact that men grow,old and spoke in most feeling language of the love which he bears to Hope College and its students.

From there the happy group,

made thoughtful by the words of their former chief, went up to twelfth street and then west to the residence of the president-elect. Vernon Buhl announced their ar-rival by leading in a few rousing cheers. This brought Mrs. Wichers to the door who announced tha t the new president would be in a t any moment After giving "Mrs. Prexy" an ovation the students waited im-patienUy until the new leader drove up. He was met with a cheer of throats and auto horns that would have been a nightmare to the in-structors in speech. Having been conducted to the .front porch of his home he briefly spoke of his appre-ciation a t what was being done in

Seven of the twenty Cosmopoli-tans who attended the Albion game had the good fortune of riding down in a superannuated Reo and coming back—somehow. The lead-ing features of the t r ip were nine flat tires, a game of miniature golf, sleeping in a haystack and finally their arrival home sometime Satur-day forenoon.

The highlights of the program on Thursday were "Dan" Koeppe's paper on "Rapidly Ripening Peas" and Burggraaff 's "Summum Bo-num" in appreciation of which the society gave him a rising vote of thanks. Costing's annual piano solo was the fea ture of the program.

Did You Know

Lynn Sabo's name is really Ilona

Lillian Sabo?-The name Ilona is of Hungarian origin and the strangest thing is tha t only two people have ever called her by tha t name all her life. She is best known as Lillian or Lynn.

Hermina was the given name of Ruth Scheiber's grandmother and so she was christened Hermina Ruth.

Ruth Weidner gets her middle name, Holyoke, from the maiden name of her paternal grandmother, whose fa ther was one of the founders of Holyoke college, a se-lect girls' school located in Massa-chusetts.

Although you never hear it, John Court Rylaarsdam is the full name of our erstwhile editor. He was named af te r his grandfather . The name Court is of Dutch origin.

Miss Ross, history professor, was christened Metta, the name her fa ther having chosen from a novel, which Miss Ross assures us was of the highest type of literature, but she has failed to find out so fa r , just what the name of the novel may have been.

Christian Walvoord, of the Freshman class, was named af ter his paternal grandfather . Christian is a family name.

Olga Anzenetta Bender, better known as "Dooggie," was named a f t e r her grandmother. The nick-name "Dooggie" was given to her in her Fresliman year at Hope. She nicknamed a certain young man, long since gone from the col-lege. and in return he gave her this name which has remained with her, even to her Senior year.

Wilbur Christopher Ensfield was undoubtedly named af te r that young adventurer Christopher Co-lumbus. Wilbur, seeking adventure at an early age is ready to sail on the high seas — of matrimony.

Alethea:—Next Friday the Ale-theans will yield to the "Lure of the Sea." They will gather a t six bells for mess, which will be offi-cers' t reat . Afterwards Lillian Smies will give a paper, "bown to the Sea in Ships," and Marguerite Kinkema will play a t rumpet solo, "From the Land of the Sky-blue Water ." Mildred Schuppert will read a tumorous poem, "Christo-pher Columbo," and several Ale-, theans will present a huntarous skit, "The Wreck pf the XYi^," A business meeting at which reports on progress in redecorating the room will be made will close the evening.

* * *

Sorosis:—Sorosis will have a classical program this week. The glee club girls in the society will act as troubadours. A piano solo will be given by Helen Johnson. Marian Anderson is preparing a paper on "Milton the Artist ." Ethel Cunnigan will give a reading and Ruth Hospers will present a Shake-sperean parody.

* * *

Delphia:—New window draperies and chair covers will soon be in evidence in the Delphi room. Jean Hinken, who is in charge of the refurnishing, is busy with plans for. a society sewing bee. Arrange-ments for the ensuing week were made last Wednesday, when busi-ness and a social hour were com-bined during the sorority tea. Au-tumn tones prevailed in the color scheme, and tea was poured by President Eunice Hyma and Ruth Geerlings. Grace McCarroll, '28, and Gertrude Mulder were guests a t the tea.

have a regular meeting last week owing to the other school functions. The society room is being redeco-rated; the walls are being recalci-mined, the windows are to be cov-ered with canopies of awning, and the girls are using their own in-ventiveness as to decoration of the furni ture in the room.

Mm:-/* MEETING OCT. 7

A review of the Passion Play | was given by Herman Laug of '29 i at the October 7th meeting of the V.M.C.A. Mr. Laug saw the play when he was in Europe last sum-mer.

He stated that the play was well worth the time and money given to it. When he saw it. it was being j given in Oberammergau, a city in the southern part of Germany. Ac-cording to Mr. Laug, only natives of the city could take part in this play. The music was furnished by a native orchestra. The play has been given at intervals of ten years since the seventeenth century. Only a few intervals have been omitted and those wer£ due to impossible conditions.

Other features on the "Y" pro-gram were the singing, led by Paul Brower, and a piano solo by Rich-ard Neusink.

Two of Prof . Raymond's Eng-lish History students were reading in the l ibrary Friday afternoon. One of them suddenly said, "Well, I know one thing about Margaret of Anjou. She was fa t . "

"How do you know tha t?" asked her companion.

"Well it says here tha t among Henry's stoutest supporters was Margaret of Anjou."

I have accepted the generous offer, but not for per-sonal reasons at all.

In order to get a good start. Coach Jack Schouten is issuing first call for candidates. Everyone wishing to try out for freshman or varsity teams and not out for foot-ball is expected to report today at Carnegie gym at 4 o'clock.

• • •

For about a month there will be two practice sessions a day, and at the end of the grid season, regular practice will start. The basketball instruction will be under Captain Clarence Becker and Watson Spoel-stra until Coach Schouten has fin-ished his football duties. Becker was out foV football but an injury will keep him from the game for the remainder of the year. Spoel-stra has not been out for football as the wrist which he fractured in baseball last summer has not com-pletely healed.

"Having taught for seventeen years, I am persuaded that my ab-sence of five years was providential to the end that I might get that business experience and contact which must be valuable to anyone elected to this office. I am glad that I can go back to my friends on the faculty, all of them friends, I believe.

"Together we shall attempt, by the grace of God, to carry on the work so well done in the past. I acknowledge my debt to Dr. Dim-nent, whom I learned to respect and honor first as a teacher and then as President.

"I have no thought that I can ever equal his magnificent work or sacrificial service here. I can only hope to strive to reach his high ideals and service. I trust that Dr. Dimnent, the Board of Trustees, and the Faculty will always sus-tain me with their advice, and council, and inspiration."

Hope will have three veterans this winter. Several other candi-dates who have experience, includ-ing a nuprt^er of sophomores, are expected to work into a -fine team. Watson Spoelstra is trying to work out a holiday trip ^hrough Ohio and points east.

long. The t ry for added point failed.

Tysse nearly got away for an-other touchdown a few moments later when he ran back a punt 40 yards to the 21-yard line before the safety man nailed him. Albion made its final touchdown in the last minute of play when Watts went 8 yards through the line for the score. This counter was made pos-sible ^hrough a Hope fumble. '

The Hope team was followed by a large delegation of students and alumni who made themselves evi-dent with loud cheers. Every one present felt sure that the best team in Hope's history had battled Al-bion that evening. Albion had many of the breaks of the game. The Methodists fumbled many times and were fortunate to recover. Hope fumbled once and it meant a touchdown.

The outstanding men for Hope were Tysse, Brunson, Wyngarden, and Fox. Albion's heroes were Gray, Lightbody, and Watts, a sub-stitute fullback.

SCHOOL FOR NEGROES AT

BREWTON, ALA.

The Home Volunteer Band held its regular meeting on Wednesday of last week with James Dooley as its speaker. Mr. Dooley's topic was "Work in the Brewton Industrial and Normal Institute in Brewton, Alabama." The members of the band were much impressed by the work which the school is doing for the negroes who Would 'otherwise have to travel ninety miles distance to the nearest negro high school. The school, which is in the heart of the Alabama farmland, teaches modem method of agriculture. This is especially needed as the farmers have worn out the land for cotton raising and must be taught to raise other kinds of crops. f

While the minds and hands are

that he deeply appreciated the act of the Trustees and other courte-sies shown by the school in gen-eral. "Especially emphasize my high regard to Dr. Dimnent, whose work has been so unselfish and well done. My only effort will be to build on the foundation he has laid."

Previous preparations of Mr. Wichers to fill the position of Pres-ident are: Graduate of Hope Col-lege 1909, Master of Arts degree from the University of Michigan 1918. Also, attendance at Univer-sity of Chicago, University of Wis-consin and Columbia University. Intermittently from 1909 until 1925 he taught at Hope College. During 1917-1918 he taught English at the University of Michigan. He also taught two summers at Western State Normal
