Be c a u s e of his f r a n k n e s s and sureness in deal-ing, w i t h o u r

possibilities and prob-lems, because he be-lieves in himself and his subject and ever lends h i s u n s t i n t e d support and devotion to the ^reat cause of Education, we, t h e Junior Class of 1928 do affectionately dedi-cate t h i s fourteenth Milestone to Professor Efebert Winter.

Our Campus

The world boasts finer, more renowned. More smiling hill and slope,—• But none are clothed in memories As dear as those of Hope.

Each flowering bush. Each blade of grass, Each proud and stately tree, Tell to the stranger that may pass A beautiful story.

Not in great wealth were these halls reared, Not in display of power,— But humbly, slowly, by those men W h o would not cringe or cower To ignorance or idleness, But sought a greater dower Of knowledge built on Hope and Faith. By Hope and Faith they built And Hope and Faith they've given us— Dowry of gold not gilt.

These wooded hills And gardens green Will memories hold entwined To make of the Hope Campus A jewel of its kind.

A Word from the President

"Please Stand By"

These words have gotten a new meaning in our day. At one time their technical meaning was to assist, to give physical or moral support. When a vessel was in distress, another came to its rescue and "stood by" to the last possible mo-ment. Some of us remember an old hymn based on the nautical use of the phrase, — " F o r I'll Stand By Until the Morning."

In a figurative sense more commonly than in the literal the phrase was used when a companion needed the presence and commendation of another and it was the part of true friendship to "stand by through thick and thin." Here is the old military thought. When a soldier was hard pressed by his opponents and the darts were flying thick and fast, his choicest friend "stood by" and, whether the arrows came thick or thin, each was by the other's side.

Radio has brought another thought to the words. One program has been finished with its effect of pleasure or tire and we are to be given another across the reaches of the air. The details are not announced. Perhaps the performers are not yet assembled. 1 he conditions of the air for the next few minutes are surely unknown. It is a moment of expectancy and this element alone makes for much of the pleasure of the particular moment. However perfect our appar-atus or the equipment of the sending station may be, there is every chance that something will interfere between the "mike" and ourselves. It is ours to be on the alert and not alone "to tune in" but to be just as keen at " tuning out."

College life is like this,^—like it in its immediate present and in all the days that are to follow. Ihese "Milestones" are proof. Each has given its program in its turn. Each has offered its best. Each has retired in the consciousness of a noble task nobly done. The announcer, "The Spirit of Hope," bids us "stand by. Good will, a spirit keen for reception, a vital expectancy, a will to get this offering and none other however good all the others may be,—these are our contributions to a most pleasurable privilege. Nineteen-Twenty-Eight broadcasts. Now let's to the moment! Stand By!

W hoever it was who invited his "soul to loaf," was of all spirits the most impossible, (.an you imagine it? Soul, the very quintessence of life, of activity, off on a loaf? Such an one could never stand by! And such an one, though instruments were refined to the Hth degree, could never receive! H O P E Stands By—not with a soul that would or can loaf ; but ready for H J C M !

^ e of the class of 1928 have arr ived at another Milestone of His torv . I he past four years hold many pleasant memories for us and the fu tu r e looks

golden in the anticipation of being able to "Be loyal to the royal in us ."

W hat the young men of Athens swore in allegiance to the city we, the Clas^ of 1928. would swear allegiance to our beloved Alma Mater .

" W e will never bring disgrace to our beloved Alma Mater , by any act of dishonesty or cowardice, nor ever desert our fellow suffer ing Hopites in the ranks.

" W e will fight for the ideals and sacred things of our Alma Mater , both alone and with many. W e will revere and obey her laws and do our best to incite a like respect and reverence in every one with whom we may come in contact."

Long may our Alma Mater live to be a blessing to the youth, not only of this land but to the youth of the entire wor ld!

Senior Girls' Association

A f t e r being merely classmates for three years, the girls of the Class of '28 have finally become real f r iends through the happy influence of Senior Girls ' Association. Once every month the girls forget that it is their duty, as Seniors, to be dignified and serious, and meet, usually at the home of one of the members, for a big " f eed" and a good time. Sometimes clever and interesting programs are given, but of ten the gatherings are purely social and, as such, are wonder-fully successful. And you'd be surprised at the number of good cooks there are among the Senior gir ls!

But in addition to these regular meetings the girls have used other means of having a good time. By a group attendance of the S. G. A. at some of the basket-ball games, they surprised the crowd (especiallv H . K. K . ) and gave splendid evidence of their loyalty through their peppy and unusual yells.

All of the girls agree that the S. G. A. meetings, with their spirit of fellow-ship and fun , are among the happiest of the many pleasant experiences tha t mark their Senior year.

Hope Kurfew Klub

W e , the Senior men of the Class of 1928, fol lowing a precedent set by Senior men in the past, organized the H . K . K. with a threefold aim. Firs t , to promote a Spiri t of Loyalty and Fellowship among our classmates. Second, to uphold the dignity of Senior men on the campus. Th i rd , to instill in the minds of the F reshmen the essentials of good conduct and service.

A s the year d raws to a close, we feel that the H . K. K. was not organized in vain. Not only have we succeeded in upholding our Senior dignity and in promot ing good fel lowship but we also feel that many Freshmen have been star ted on the s traight and na r row path by our kind, altho sometimes vigorous advice and guidance.

It is one of the few organizations of the Campus, membership in which is confined to one class. Seniors alone can qual i fy .

O u r meetings, which were held whenever convenient, occasionally took the fo rm of nicotinism but we sincerely maintain that they were not without an up l i f t ing influence, especially in a social and recreational way. They have tended to make the members of the class which is about to leave Hope better f r iends and more companionable men.

Junior Glass

Three years of our life upon the campus have passed, three years filled to overflowing with activities of all sorts. Members of the class of '29 have fast become the leaders in all lines of endeavor. Labor ing together, in the spirit of close co-operation, with other Hopites, we have given of our bes t—for Hope.

And we have enjoyed these years, and are looking fo rward anxiously to the year that is to come, not because it is to be the last, but rather because it is to be the best. It is to be the year that will see the achievement of something for which we have striven many years. T h e goal is in sight, but we will move it on, ever keeping it a distance ahead, a thing to strive for , to attain, to pass.

In spite of the fact that our numbers have been noticeably reduced, dur ing our stay on the campus, the tiny seed planted when first we became Hopites has become a s turdy plant whose bounteous f ru i t s are the Spirit of Hope and love of our Alma Mater . May this spirit and love continue to grow, deep in our hearts, until it shall become like unto the s turdy old oak against which even time is no enemy.

Sophomore Class Still on it creeps, each little moment at another 's heels, till hours, days, years

and ages are made up. It rolls on plunging into its ceaseless course ; thus twenty centuries have sunk into eternal night. But let us stop in this mad rush of time and let our memories run through the shadowy past. W h a t do we see ? The Class of 30, one hundred and eighty strong, proudly enroll themselves as Freshmen, to help carry the ( ) range and Blue ' to victory in all phases of college activity.

As Freshmen we felt that graduat ion was the Mecca in our pilgrimage to the shrine of learning. But a year of college work soon disillusioned us for , as Sophomores, we realize that the torch of learning is to be carried on through posterity. I h is torch we endeavor to foster and keep alight by success. Sopho-more achievements on the Campus are many.

W e will strive to uphold Hope ' s deep-set ideals and principles through the remaining two years of our college sojourn. And as our motto "Co-operation and Progress ' has proven f ru i t fu l , so let it remain for two years to come.

"Beneath this starry arch, Naught resteth or is still;

But all things hold their march As if by one great will.

Move one, move all: Hark to the footfall!

On. on, forever."

Summer Twilight

Fireflies twinkle like fairies' lamps, Locusts their lullabies croon; Misty stars in the velvet sky Their homage pay to the moon; Bated breath of a thousand flowers Drugging our sense as wine, H u r r y and glare of the heated day Soothed by a touch divine.

Sound of the night, like the song of the sea. Caressing some wave-washed shore. All bring rest and peace serene To derelict souls restore

Though the f reshmen have been pushed around somewhat by upper classmen, and have received a few duckings they have not become discour-aged. They merely look on that as the legitimate introduction to college life.

A s a rule, the classes coming into Hope yearly, a re larger than those of the preceding year and the class of '31 is no exception to this rule. W i t h all the pep and enthusiasm that a class of about one hundred and sixty-seven can exhibit, the Sophomores have been forced to step lively.

The upper classmen may have thought that the Freshmen were boisterous and were creating too much excitement. But this, fellow Hopites, was merely an overflow of pep.

1 he Class of '31 has settled down to a well-meaning course and wishes to blend its pep and enthusiasm with the "Spir i t of H o p e " and by so doing, to be able to complete a successful college course, bearing their colors high and in the f ron t ranks of diligent workers . Though the course may be a difficult one, and many rocks and rapids of hazard may be in the stream of college life, the Class of 1931 has determined to go fo rward and maintain the good s tandards of Hope as the classes which have gone before.

A Piece of Tapestry

It was a marvelous work of ar t , and it hung in a splendid hal l ; A thing of beauty, this tapestry—it brightened the eye of all. The story it told so enchanting was, it gave the mind release— It l if ted one f r o m the s t r i fe of life to heights of rest and peace. Not all was light, or in tints of gold, sof t shadows pervaded the whole,— But the light was the brighter because of them, as trouble enriches the soul.

I gazed and gazed at this work of ar t , my thoughts took me back a t ime : I saw the weaver so work-worn there, as he toiled in a distant clime. The skill of his hand was not greater than the patience he had to acquire. As he sat in the gloom of his workshop with a pat tern as guide to inspire. H e never could look at the finished side of the glorious fabric he made— While the joy of his work was for others, yet for him was but toil and shade.

M y life is that of the weaver 's , and I 'm weaving some threads each day. I only see the seamy side, the warp, the dark, the grey. But still I 'm weaving a wondrous design, or I t ruly can make it so. For all depends on the pat tern I choose,—the colors—and how they go. I would the tapestry showing my life a thing of beauty would be ; F o r I 'm not laboring for myself , but for the Master who's hiring me. So I'll go by the pat tern H e gave me, do my best to follow His plan. For I want my work to be pleasing to God, as that tapestry was to man.

Hope Prepara tory School PROFESSOR T . W E L M E R S , Principal

This has been another truly great year in the history of the Prepara to ry

School, the oldest educational institution in this vicinity. O u r numbers have

been few, to be sure, but this has only helped to make the fellowship more in-

timate. Seldom has there been a finer spirit manifes ted amongst the studentry. In the two literary societies, the Meliphone for the boys and the Minerva for the

girls, some splendid work has been done. Moreover, there has been present this

year a rich religious atmosphere, which has exerted a great influence upon the

students and has helped to give them the necessary spiritual stability and poise.

Probably the most significant happening of the year came at the end of the

first semester when the college seniors, who were working for a teachers ' cer-

tificate, began to do practise teaching in the Prepara tory School. This teaching,

however, was done under the ca re fu l supervision of the regularly employed staff

and for that reason there was no letting down of educational s tandards. O u r

students have enjoyed this opportuni ty to work with the college students and as

a result of this contact there has been an exchange of feeling which has been mutual ly beneficial.

In closing, we should like to emphasize the many-sided nature of the t rain-ing received here. The thorough and painstaking work of the classroom is

supplemented by the social, athletic and religious life as found in the society hall,

the gymnasium and the Y. M. C. A. In this regard we feel we are but carrying out the purpose of the Church of which we are a part and which we are pleased to serve.

Religion at Hope

The religion of Hope College is the one and only true religion, that of Tesus the Christ, Son of the Living God. Every active student and alumnus of our Alma Mater , realizes the rock-hewn foundation upon which is built the ever-per-vading influence of Christianity upon the campus. Without religion there can be no molality, and the highest type of morality, good character, depends upon a well constructed life as revealed in the teachings of the Holy Bible. T rue Hope

Spirit ' strives then to build men and women of character along with a finer appreciation of knowledge: to become worthy leaders of the future . Let us say with earnest conviction that the man whose four years separate him rather than join him closer to God. has lost or never won the significance of a Hope fellowship.

There are three roots to the tree whose f ru i t we now speak of. In Chapel, a simple morning service of twenty minutes duration, a student joins with his fel-lows in song, prayer, and Scripture lesson. Here is born the spirit of every suc-cessful day. F rom time to time through speech or music the seeds of culture and inspiration fall.

The Y. M. C. A. and \ . W. C. A., the two distinctly religious bodies upon the campus, have adopted for their mot to : ' 'Jesus Christ is King of this campus," and offer Christian fellowship to all.

In the Faculty we find fr iends and advisors. To them we can look as exam-ples of the best, and to them we can go for a religion that is correct.

W e can truly be thankfu l for the wholesome atmosphere in which our col-lege is surrounded.

Y. M. C. A.

'Y" is the best and most representative organization on our campus. It is at our " Y " meetings that we meet on common ground, with mutual interest, and in loyalty to our Lord and Master.

The organization of the " Y " is centralized in the Cabinet, which consists of thirteen members, who are interested in the student problems and particularly in the religious life of the studentry.

Our weekly meeting, along with the daily College Chapel exercises and per-sonal devotion, spiritually tithes us over f rom Sabbath to Sabbath. W e not only believe in worship and prayer, but also in service and work. The " Y " in co-operation with the Y. W. C. A. conducts three Sunday Schools in the sur-rounding districts of Holland. " Y " men, who are eager to serve, are sent out on "Gospel 1 earns' to carr)' the Message of Salvation to neighboring communities of Holland and Grand Rapids. Discussion group leaders were sent to the Michigan State Older Boys' Conference held at Kalamazoo. The missionary zeal of the Y. M. and Y. W. is expressed in supplying funds for the Hope Hostel, a branch of Hope High School in India.

The purpose of " Y " is to develop religious life and moral character. It is the prayer and aim of the organization to lead others to Jesus as their personal Savior and the open door to the more abundant life. Not only is our aim car-ried out through our weekly meetings and personal work, but also through our Annual W eek of Prayer. This year it was observed later than usual, since we felt that we needed the inspiring services of "Dad" Elliott, whom we could not obtain until March 20th. W e have prayed that "Dad 's" coming would be a blessing to every student and that his work would lead us fully to a life of self-negation and positive consecration to the Master.

W e pray that as you read now, your memory may be flooded with the hap-piest thoughts, and that the "Y" through its services has helped you find and serve the Master. If it has not, then will you pause a moment even now, and meditate upon its aim and services, and judge whether it is not worthy in the Spirit of the Master, to influence your life f rom henceforth.

To gain a clearer vision of the Christ and all that H e stands for is the purpose of the Young Women's Christian Association on this campus. Believing in un-selfish service to others the " Y " has branched out into various activities and the members have discovered that through endeavoring to share with others the vision of Christ it becomes more precious to themselves.

The main source of strength lies in the weekly hour service set aside for " Y " where all meet to take inventory, renew faith, and commune with God in prayer. Of all the activities of the ' Y " this hour means the most to each girl. All, meetins" o o on equal ground, are joined together by that invisible band formed through a united striving for the same purpose under the leadership of the same Master.

In order to reach out to others, Gospel Teams have been formed and are active in the surrounding community. The missionary spirit prevails among the group and a direct contribution to the cause is made by assisting in raising the annual Hope Hostel fund. This money is for the maintenance of a dormitory on one of the mission fields. Christmas boxes have been sent to the children at the various mission stations where Hope representatives are working and the 'Y " girls have experienced the joy of bringing Christmas happiness to others.

Besides the spiritual uplif t which this organization effects on the campus and the religious work which it carries on. the " Y " engages in various phases of social work. New girls are welcomed and made to feel at home. Employment is sought for those students desiring it. Wholesome enjoyment and recreation is secured at the beach parties, get-togethers, and other social events of the 'YT" calendar.

" Y " fills that need on the Hope campus which no other organization can fill. It is a distinct part of the college and her tradition. Throughout the year the ' Y " girls have tried to live up to the ideal set forth in their song; "Follow, follow, follow the gleam of the light that shall bring the dawn."

Student Volunteers

T h e Student Volunteer Band is composed of individuals who have volun-

tarily declared that it is their purpose, God willing, to give their lives to foreign

missionary service. This signifies even more than a willingness or desi re ; it is

a declaration of purpose that is made a f t e r intelligent thinking and p raye r fu l

decision. By this declaration the Volunteer says, " H e r e am I, Lord, send me."

A n d only God shall determine whether or not he shall enter the field of his

desire, prayer , and hope.

The Student Volunteers meet each week for the purpose of gett ing acquainted

with all phases of missions and missionary work. Missionaries on fur lough, as

well as other competent leaders, are called in f rom time to time. In this way the fires of devotion are re-kindled. Inspir ing others and sharing with them is in-

cluded in the objective.

There has been a decrease in membership within the last few years, un-

doubtedly caused by financial conditions of the Board, and a deadening vision

of foreign mission service on the par t of the students. A keener interest, how-

ever, has been shown dur ing the current year. Several students have linked

themselves with the Movement. The call of Christ is still for more laborers

to enter His harvest field, " f o r the harvest indeed is great and the laborers are few."

Home Volunteers

I he 1 lome \ olunteer Band is composed of a g roup of young men who have

sur rendered their lives to Christ and His service. The purpose of the organiza-

tion is to present some of the problems of the Christ ian ministry in order that

no one may enter the work blindly. T h e challenge is one that demands a con-secration of body, soul, and spirit .

J he band holds regular meetings of an educational and inspirational nature.

Members lead and take par t m the discussions and o f ten outside speakers address tlie group.

I lie work in the Homeland calls for men with a vision, men with training,

men of devotion, and men with a desire for service. T h e call is he re ! W h a t is your answer ?

"A charge to keep / have A God to glorify; A never dying soul to save, And fit it for the sky.

"To serve the present age, My calling to fulfill. Oh, may it all my pow'rs engage, To do my Master's will."

Men's Gospel Team

"And he sent them. . .before His face into every city and place, whither he himself would come." (Luke 10:1)

W e are indeed happy to report another successful year in Gospel Team work. W e feel that we have been blessed in our effort to spread the good news of Christ Jesus in the outlying districts of Holland. It is obviously difficult to point to definite results in work such as this, but we believe that we have created in the communities which we have visited a t ruer conception of what constitutes real Christian Manhood. In our contacts with young people of High School age we have tried to point out to them the joy and blessedness of an intimate acquaintance and a living fellowship with the Pr ince of Peace.

As members of Gospel Teams, we feel that we, too. have been made stronger, more thrillingly alive to the possibilities of a life with Christ by thus engaging in this work.

One-night teams have been sent out to the following places: Hamil ton, Gib-son, Thi rd Re fo rmed Church, C. E. Union at Muskegon, and Muskegon Heights. A regular week-end team of nine men under the leadership of Peter DeRui ter spent three days at the Lee Street and Godfrey Schools in Grand Rapids. The Gospel Team is a subordinate organization to the Hope Y. M. C. A. and the work accomplished by " Y " men going out in this capacity is a part of the Y. M. C. A. program of the year.

Women's Gospel Team

1 he Young Women ' s Christ ian Association of Hope College purposes fa i th in God and its members endeavor to devote themselves to the tasks of making Jesus Christ supreme in their lives and of helping to extend God's Kingdom throughout the world.

I he Women ' s Gospel 1 earn concerns itself primari ly with the second of this dual objective, that of extending God's Kingdom. I he work is still in its infancy. Of recent years whenever oppor tuni ty presented itself, groups of girls have visited su r round ing High Schools and acquainted themselves with the students. By personal contacts and f r iendly talks with them, the members of the Team en-deavor to inspire finer new ambitions in the hear ts of the growing pupils and to encourage them to fo rm worth while ideals to pursue . The companionship in recreation and play afifords an oppor tuni ty to exert a real influence for good and the fellowship of the meetings might well flower out into a finer conception of l ife and life 's opportunit ies in the minds of the High School students.

1 he value of membership in the Team is inestimable. Shar ing something with others makes it more precious and the act enriches the character of both giver and receiver. Service has its own rewards . T rue greatness consists in helping others. Only as we are able to help others on the way to t rue happiness can we attain t rue greatness.

"Oh Lord ! that I could waste my life for others. With no ends of my own;

That I could pour myself into my brothers. And live for them alone."

Girls' Glee Club

T h e Hope College Girls ' Glee Club is one of the musical organizations on the campus and its members aim to do their part in representing the school to the outside world. Wi th a membership of sixteen girls the Club has done very excellent work on the concert p la t fo rm. Due to a loss of members through grad-uation the Club has undergone a marked change in personnel, only five of the club of last year being members. Wi th this new material the girls have striven towards the at ta inment of the goal reached by the Club of the preceding year.

The public appearances were not as numerous this year and no extended tour was made. Successful week-end trips were taken and concert programs were rendered in the churches of the vicinity. T h e Club entered the state contest held at Albion and its pe r formance was praiseworthy. W o r d s of commendation fo r their singing have come to the Club f r o m appreciative listeners and the pro-ficiency of the singers foreshadows noteworthy achievements in the fu ture .

The Men ' s Glee Club of Hope College is filling a definite part in the musical activities of the school. T h r o u g h the diligent practice of its sixteen members the Club has reached a point of real ability in the rendition of musical programs. Concerts were given in the churches of Hol land and of the vicinity. T h e Club part icipated in the State Contest held at Albion College and its work was credit-able. T h e singers were much in demand by the churches of the City to supply the music for the services.

The Men ' s Glee Club has been an active organization in the past. Last year a tour was made through Illinois and Wisconsin and the musicians were well received. In conjunct ion with the Girls ' Glee Club the Orator io . " T h e Prodigal Son" , was presented in Carnegie Hall on the Sunday of Commencement Week . In these activities the Club endeavors to develop the musical ability of its var ious members and to be a serviceable agency in the community.

Hope College Orchestra

"Music, O how faint, how weak! Language fails beneath thy spell;

Why should feeling ever speak When thou cans't breathe her soul so well!"

Music plays a large par t in the life of every educational institution. The Orches t ra has achieved a place in Hope College and represents to the s tudent body its efforts to develop one of the greatest of arts.

I he object of the organization is to promote the appreciation and under-standing of orchestral music among the members and to fu r the r the musical interests of the College.

T h e Hope College Orchestra was first organized by Dr. T- B. Nykerk in 1904. Under the excellent leadership of Mr . Van Hassalt , of" Amsterdam, the orchestra at that time made great headway and became an asset to the College. 1 rofessoi Municke and Air. John Lloyd Kollen have directed it in recent years. Now under the capable leadership of Mr . Wal ter I . Ritter, the organization has had a \ e r y successful year. It has a large membership and a well-balanced col-lection of instruments .

1 he several concerts of the season have been of high order, and the musi-cians have gained much in pleasure and instruction in the rendition of them.

Hope College Band

t o r several years the band, as a definite institution has been pe r fo rming be-fore Hope audiences. Many times it has proven its value as an ad junc t to the var ious other organizations, as for example, the band tr ip of 1926 to advert ise the Pageant.

1 hi- year however, it seemed thai there would be no band. Much was said about a band in the early fall but little was done toward organization until well into the middle of December. A t this time, due to the request of interested parties, a meeting of the players was held.

In early J a n u a r y a first practice took place, and the details of organization were completed. A very able leader was found in Mr . Gosling, a member of the Seminary and g radua te of Central College. Under Mr . Gosling's leadership remarkable progress was made. T h e band made its debut a few days a f t e r this.

1 he call for members elicited very little response f rom those who should have been the most interested. However , once again our f r iends f rom across the street responded to the call and filled in some of the ra ther essential places. It is the wish of the other members of the band to express here their appreciation of the kind assistance given by the Seminary, both in the provision of a leader, and members as well.

Hope College Trumpeters

The Hope College Trumpe te r s were organized four years ago at the sugges-tion of Dr . Uininent who had just heard the Gloria Trumpe te r s of New York

City. The quarteette has made fine progress dur ing the fou r years of its l ife under the leadership of Miss Margare t Hondelink.

1 here are in the main, two purposes in all musical work on the campus. First , there is the pleasure and profit which comes to the student body f rom the practice and contacts afforded by musical w o r k ; and, second, the t raining which

will make it possible for the members of these musical organizations to do similar work later on in life. Music is ever a source of inspiration, giving to all a feeling of intense delight and to the pe r fo rming musician also the keen satisfaction of accomplishment.

Dur ing the first year of their organization, the quartet te made few public ap-pearances, but last year they played on several occasions. In June, 1927, two of the t rumpeters were graduated, but others took their places, continuing the or-ganization. 1 his year the t rumpeters have given concerts and have played for many religious services both in Holland and in the sur rounding cities. The last two of the original Hope Trumpe te r s will be graduated this June, but others are being trained to take their places, and the Hope Trumpe te r s will continue to be an established organization on the campus.

Drama Glass Play

O n the seventh and eighth of Februa ry this year, the Drama Class presented " Fhe Younges t" by Philip Barry , a play of modern American home life. The Wins low family consists of the mother, three sons and two daughters . One of the daughters is marr ied to a young lawyer who comes to live in the Winslow home, where harmony does not always prevail . 1 he two older sons, who are carrying on the manufac tu r ing business of their late father , are so determined that their bi other Richard shall also come into the factory with them that the}' even strive to compel him to do so by cut t ing off his allowance. " T h e Young-est, however, is different. H e loathes business and wishes to devote his time to writ ing. His brother-in-law, the lawyer, comes to his rescue by disclosing the fact that through a legal technicality Richard is really the owner of all the p iopei ty , and is f ree to follow his chosen career. A compromise is made and the financial problem is happily solved. The love element enters the plot in the foi m of Nancy Make, one of Mar tha ' s school f r iends who comes to make a visit. She proves to be so charming that the three brothers vie with each other in then attentions to her, but Richard, the hitherto downtrodden "Younges t , " t r i -umphant ly wins.

The Senior Play

It was not an easy tradit ion that the present Senior Class was called upon to uphold. Last year another of Charming Pollock's plays was given and given very creditably. F o r m e r classes have given Shakespeare and f amous modern

plays, lunny plays, fo rcefu l plays, catchy plays, plays with big morals ,—but all great plays and all well acted.

Not desirous of lowering the s tandard set, they this year chose " T h e Fool ."

I he plot centers about the efforts of David Gilchrist, minister of an aristocratic church, to live not to please his par ishioners but his God. So he was considered

radical and ill-advised. But he held fas t to his purpose and to his great work in

the slums and finally he won not only the respect and aid of his church but also his Hea r t ' s Desire. And the play ended happily as all good plays should.

Under Mrs . Fealy 's direction unrecognized genius grew, budded, and flour-

ished. Mr . Pollock's great characters , whether strong, weak or wistful , became very real people with real problems and joys and disappointments. David Gil-

christ really came to life and conquered us as well as his people. The fair Clare

Jewet t captured our imagination and admirat ion and the little lame girl walked right into our hearts.

And what greater praise can we give to teacher and pupil ?

Oratory

Oratory at Hope enjoys a position of prominence among the activities of the school. Successful participation in oratorical contests has brought about upon the campus an attitude favorable to oratory, which has become a part of the tradition of the institution. It receives the hearty support of the faculty in even-way and students display a keen interest in the inter-collegiate contests.

Hope s record in competing with other colleges is illustrious, showing three national tr iumphs and numerous first places in the contests of the Michigan Ora-torical League. Dr. J. B. Nykerk has been coach of oratory for a period of about twenty-five years and has been eminently successful in turning out speakers of the highest quality.

1 he annual AI. (). L. Contest, held on March 2, 1928, at .Albion College was an excellent exhibition of speaking. The Hope representatives repeated the 1927 record when they returned with two second places to their credit. Decisions were especially close in the men's contest; Mr. Jacob Pelon missed the leading honors by a very scant margin. Miss Hazel Albers took second place in the women's contest in the face of exceptionally strong opposition.

More efiforts were made to gain honors by sending the orators to the national i i Kappa Delta convention to compete with college representatives f rom twenty-four states. Both Hopeites were eliminated in the first contests when judges objected to the reformatory stamp of the orations.

The oratorical branch of forensic activity can thus show a fairly favorable lecord for 1928. Orators for the coming year will be selected by means of a series of local elimination contests and Hope will continue to enter competition in the field of oratory.

Whither?

By Miss H A Z E L A L B E R S

Azvardcd Sccond Place in the annual contest of the Michigan Oratorical League

In California there are certain places where the trees grow so close together, the branches and vines entwining, so as to form an almost impenetrable maze. In such a grove two friends started out one day for a walk, and before they realized just where they were going, they found themselves in the very thick of the woods. \ \ hile they were attempting to find their way out, they lost each other. 1 hey could speak together, but could not see each other. In vain they tried this wa}' and that, but they came to no clearing. One called to the other, "John, where are you?" John answered. " I don't know, I must be in a maze." They continued to grope here and there, until a guide came to their assistance and led them out of the maze.

Like these two friends, we also are wandering in a tangled maze of human relationships. We are being jostled along by the crowd in the mad rush of life, always moving to be sure, and moving fas te r ; but are we ever troubled by the question. Whi ther? If some one inquires the reason for going so fast, we look astonished that such a question should even be asked, and can only reply, "Why, we go fas t ! " And what more can be said? In business, in industry—-speed is the word. The executive urges, "Speed up on the sales!" The foreman cries. "We 've got to get these goods out fas te r !"

It is t rue that we can go anywhere we desire and faster than necessary; but few there are who realize that it is time to ask where it is most worth-while to go. W e have become a race of Jehus, driving "furiously." But if in Bible times Jehu drove furiously, what in this day and age shall we characterize our auto-mobile driving? So swif t and careless is our driving, that fatal accidents are mounting up at a terrific rate. Tn 1926 alone the price of speed was approximately 23,000 deaths and hundreds of thousands injured. In our hurry to save time, we have no time to save ourselves. W e are conscious only of a wild desire for speed. We iace along, seeing things all in a blur and not as they are meant to be seen. Blind and deaf to everything about us, we rush madly onward—only to turn around and rush back again.

In such an age of hurry and speed, youth is criticized as being the most to blame. Youth says he has to go fast to keep up with the way his heart is beating and the way the world is moving. "What ' s life for, if it isn't to be lived?" we ask in derision of those who warn us to consider how we are going and where. A man, aiming to reach an objective several hundred paces away, appears ridicu-lous were he to take a circuitous path instead of going straight to his destination. But this man knows the dangers of the straight course leading through marsh and quick-sand. W e ask, Is the shortest distance between two points always the sur-est and safest. ' Youth laughs at such caution. The young desire to reach their destination in the quickest way, and do not stop to think of dangers or conse-quences. It matters not that others wish to move slowly, youth still wants to go "on the wings of the wind." Also in college, life is a continual rush f rom one lecture room to another, f rom this meeting to that meeting. The crowded curric-ula, the ever-multiplying student activities, and "all the full steam and weighted throttles of modern efficiency are pushing out of college life the one element that should be characteristic of i t — t i m e t i m e for thinking, time for ruminating, and time for dreaming.—time for becoming true and real personalities.

Youth however is not alone at fault. The American nation as a whole, for-eigners claim, is altogether too restless. They condemn us for making a "great show of hurry." Criticisms of America one hundred years ago have not changed from those of today. W e are still doing things with "bedazzling speed." The English declare that we eat in such perfect silence and with such rapidity that we have finished before they have had time to start. At home, we are said to be so occupied with business and other affairs, that we lack the "vivacity, ideas, and feelings ' for spending the evening in conversation. Also, according to Europeans, we rush into marriages. Our numerous divorces are attributed to hurried wedlock. "I t almost seems chic to run off to Nevada to be divorced." Then, again, we are accused of being too anxious to make money. Yes ; Lindbergh, young, modest and daring, proved to be a revelation to foreigners when he scorned offers of money. A foreign critic says of us Americans: "Their eyes are astoundingly outward-looking. They peer out into the world, seeming to run in advance of the biain behind them. Often they are very beautiful in their eagerness and vivacity,

Page One Hundred Six

Page 111: Milestone 1928

• m i l e s t o n e :

but for a European they are almost terr ifying. Their vigilance is so unrelaxing, one feels as if they would never find rest in inward contemplation and never escape the pressure of tilings by inner seclusion."

America in its mad desire for speed is neglecting its physical and spiritual development. Dr. \ \ illiams of New York City says that the modern rush and hurry, the high pressure methods, and the excessive wear and tear explain at times many disturbed functions of the body. 1 he demands of life require physical fitness. W e must needs be able to withstand the strain of overwork, the worries and sorrows of fai lure and should be able to overcome defeat. Flapper Fanny wisely says that the " fas ter you travel the sooner age catches you."

In this world of trolley-cars, taxicabs, rapid-transit systems, automobiles, air-planes, radio messages, we must learn to cultivate poise and tranquillity. I ask. Are we obliged to be in a hu r ry? Is this mad rush bringing us more content-ment ? A young student and a hobo were sitting around a camp-fire talking about various things. In the course of the conversation the student asked the hobo whether he was satisfied with the life he was living. The hobo replied, "Satis-fied? Why, I 'm in hell. They call me Smiling Jim. The smile is simply a mask to hide the inner unrest ." Yes, no matter how depraved a human heart may be, there is always that searching for peace. " Inward peace gives outward power." Machinery that works the smoothest has the most power. Likewise "the men and women who accomplish the most have the peace of God in their hearts." Self-control or self-discipline therefore, must be acquired, so that we may be poised and calm in the hurly-burly of the world. Everywhere we find human wrecks who have failed for various reasons to cultivate this control. Dr. Williams advises u s : "Keep your poise! Keep your control! Take the wheel and drive yourself! Put hur ry in the back seat and allow no back seat driving!"

\ \ ith hurry muffled in the back seat, we shall be able to spend more time on the worth-while things in life. In this age, we find very few Americans who have acquired an artistic or literary conscience. W h y ? Because we have been so busy trying to keep up with the dizzy pace of life, that we have not taken time to enjoy the best in art. Today, jazz is our conception of music; tabloid news sheets, our idea of literature.

Several young people were spending their summer vacation at a resort. One evening before starting out for a pleasure trip, they noticed that one girl was missing. When they inquired where she was and found that she was reading Shakespeare, the group laughed and sneered at such old-fogey nonsense. Yes, the majori ty of us are incapable of appreciating the finer, the aesthetic things in life. Once in a long, long while, some glorious scene of nature or a beautiful sunset may hold us in rapturous contemplation a moment. But much of the beauty and sweetness of life passes by unnoticed. W e pay so much attention to the in-significant details of our lives, that we do not take time to meditate. " W e hurtle

1 along at break-neck speed, physically and spiritually, for fear of the drabness and futi l i ty we might feel if we slowed down."

But if we wish to gain more in this life of ours, we must think. W e must

have leisure time of our own. Of course we find that there are some in this

world with too much leisure. They are dreaming of the great things they will d o ; but they never realize their dreams. There is a golden mean between find-ing t ime to live and killing time.

Therefore , if we are to keep ourselves spiritually as well as physically fit, we must wi thdraw f r o m the noise and turmoil of the world and th ink! W e read of

Christ who withdrew to a desert place, and went up into a mountain apart . H e

felt the need of quiet, unhurr ied meditation and communion. Again, we have

read how Lincoln o f ten went alone into his room for quiet thinking. Before

determining some solution to a problem, he would wi thdraw f r o m his cabinet

members and meditate. His tory gives many more such examples of great men

w ho i ealized the need for thought and meditation in order to have the necessary

powei to accomplish their tasks. " H i e peace that passeth unders tanding" cannot

come to one who is mentally and physically in a hur ry . And so in the midst of

this confusion, this blind and thoughtless rush, this grasping and fighting, let us listen to the cry to Tols toy:—

' In the name of God, stop a moment, Cease your work, look about you!"

Or to the words of our poet fr iend, Whitt ier:—•

"Drop thy still dews of quietness, Till all our strivings cease; Take from our souls the strain and stress. And let our ordered lives confess The beauty of thy peace."

Awarded Second Place DI the annual contest of the Michigan Oratorical League

I here appeared recently an intriguing cartoon by McCutcheon entitled. Lindbergh Makes Old Ideals Fashionable Again. In this cartoon there stands

at the parting of the way a typical American youth—puzzled. Shall he pursue pleasure's primrose pathway, or climb the glorious Lindbergh trail? As if shaken out of his stupor, or momentarily withdrawn f rom the maze of the mob he turns his gaze to the sign-post designating "The Lindbergh W a y . " On this ' sign-post are enumerated the ideals—ambition, achievement, hard work—not made fashion-able, but exemplified, let us say, by America's ace of the air. Along the narrow, winding, up-hill pathway, on which the artist has painted not a single footprint ot a climbing human soul, stands the crowd,—cheering", shouting, yelling—and e\en with the same breath, perhaps, scoffing, sneering, and jeering. Yes. the American crowd, in one breath of wildest frenzy, acclaiming its ambitious, hard-working, achieving hero of the air, and in another, deriding the clean-living, morally courageous, self-reliant individualist that Lindbergh is.

In this sketch, why did the artist not picture "Lindy" with doffed hat acknowl-edging the frenzied, f rant ic acclamations of the throng? Why, if old ideals had again been made truly fashionable, did the artist not picture on this ascending pathway to achievement other clambering aspirants to cherished ideals? But no; not a trace was left of the hero—even his footprints effaced: not one aspiring soul following in the way! And yet, from the maddened herd come taunting ridicule and uproarious applause ! How striking .

In every age the progress of constructive human endeavor has varied directly with the degree to which the individual has been afforded the opportunity for the

t 9 2 8

Page One H nun red Sine

Page 114: Milestone 1928

M L E S T O N E

stimulation and expression of his liigliest endowments . Given this opportunity, tiie individual has brought a new splendor to his country, and a finer hope to his fellow men. Deprived of this opportunity, man has conformed to the mandates of the mob. W e a s k : Does mobocracy exist in America today? Is our country 's f u tu r e threatened by unthinking c rowds?

Our s is an age of achievement. Modern civilization wears the laurels of amazing discoveries in the realm of science, of momentous fo rward strides in the institution and development of governments, of rapid progress in the field of industry, of unparalleled expansion in education. Rut, with all our material progress, we remain, and continue to become more and more, a nation of imitators. And why? Because, fr iends, we fail to realize that these scientific, political, commercial, and intellectual accomplishments which you and I share are not our accomplishments,—they are the products of individual minds. Mentally lazy, we appropriate to ourselves t ransmit ted t reasures of thought, won for us by dint of sacrifice and toil, by some man of original ideas, who, because of his innova-tion and our innate hatred of new ideas, was compelled to stand alone amid the jeers and scofifs of angry mobs.

W e are passive au tomatons ; held in the strong grasp of cus tom; manacled by the shackles of tradition. W e are shaped to the pattern of environment and social p ressure ; we are subjected and reconciled to arb i t rary dictums and con-ventional pract ices; we are paled in the dogmas and formulas . Moreover, the speed and whirl of twentieth-century progress,—progress, you say?—this ' has dizzied m e n . it has stifled and suffocated the individual 's desire fo r ful ler ex-pression of his creative facul t ies ; it has dragged fat igued and panting humanity into the rut of least resistance and said. Come, rest here awhile. Instead of men, it has made of us cogs in an intricate, materialistic, machine-like society, contrived by the self - regarding plutocrat, and designed for production. F e a r f u l and ir-reparable has been the physical and spiritual loss to the common man, upon whom the burden of our material progress has fallen. Yes. fr iends,

"III fares the land to hast'ning ills a prey,

Where wealth accumulates and men decay."

St i iking manifestat ions of crowd-spirit may be cited at random. They are mani fo ld ; they are the rule among our American populace. They illustrate graphically, and pathetically too, how the human "cog," who, in a modern in-dustrial plant, and here, unfor tunate ly , I must include also the modern educa-tional institution,—who, I say, having screwed on "nu t number 66" or turned in "bolt number 19" for eight or ten monotonous hours , seeks his self-indulgence— rarely self- improvement—in following the madding crowd. Daily, one-third of our counti y s population tread the beaten paths to our motion picture theatres, to them but retreats f rom physical exertion and places where they do not have to think—good "hang-outs ." One hundred seventeen thousand hats and derbies, mixed with those more collegiate "bareheads," last fall saw Notre Dame boot the pigskin over the goal-post to defeat the Universi ty of Southern California. W h y ? I'll wager, more for the "kick" of the crowd than the thrill of the g a m e ! Into Soldiers Field, C hicago, last September, a drove of one hundred thirty-five thou-sand filed or jammed their way, madly clutching in their sordid hands a five- or forty-dollar paper pass for which they had bartered, worked, or stolen, and be-cause of which families had sacrificed or suffered. W h y ? To see Turiney whip Dempsey? Four- f i f ths of the crowd never saw t h a t ! Blood-thirsty mobs, heads

bulging with newspaper trash, fell in line jus t to be in line. " T o m Jones is o-q-ing to the b o u t , therefore , 1 can and will, was the urge. In the summer of 1926 when Rudolph Valentino had died and his body lay in state in New York City, not the grim spectacle of death or the loss of Valentino, but crowds and mobs brought tears and sobs. W omen went about the streets of our metropolis carry-ing onions in their handkerchiefs so they could shed tears with Miss " H a n d s o m e Buddy ," or Mrs . "Charming Rudy . "

Othe r evidences of Amer ican crowd-spir i t come to mind. They all fall in the category which Veblen, distinguished Italian psychologist, has labeled "ex-pressions of herd instincts." For example, glance at yourself just now. H o w much did you cater to fashion of dress before you made your appearance here this evening? Indeed, are we not fashion 's slaves? W e who are college men and women, let us reflect for a moment . W h a f and why are we s tudying? Is our educational tradit ion scarcely more than systematized c rowd- th inking? Also, consider briefly what we as par t of the gullible American mass read. Largely t r a s h ! W e are sated with p ropaganda ; we are sur fe i ted with billboard advertise-ments, ethical and uneth ica l ; we are gorged with rank fiction.

W h y is it, ladies and gentlemen, that nine out of every ten automobiles sold in this country mortgaged p roper ty? W h y has the American laborer satirically been called a clock-watcher ? W h y will American citizens in the campaign of 1928 be the sheep of the political demagogue? W h y a re the mediocre the target of the exploi ter? For what reason is the typical American college student likened to a sponge ? W h y does the modern boy eagerly, though clandestinely, aspire to cultivate the base cigarette habit ? W h y is our age characterized by a paucity of individual geniuses,—I mean, genuine individuals? And why, I ask, does lames Lotka say there are "a thousand Shakespeares digging ditches and an a rmy of Aristotles shining shoes?"

W e are all camouflaged beneath the obnoxious cloak of copy and superficiality. Personali ty has been sacrificed fo r populari ty. W e are d r i f t e r s and floaters; why not pilots and captains? W e are par ro t s and cuckoo clocks, when we ought to be initiators and producers. W e are replicas and fac-similes; we could be in-ventors and originators. W e are lethargic leaners ; we should be lively leaders. W e are a homogeneous mult i tude of meaningless echoes, when we ought to be a coherent heterogeneity of effective voices. W e are marionettes dancing to the strings of p recedent ; we are challenged to be men s tanding for the highest ideals of the present. W h e r e is our se l f -express ion? W h e r e is the individual? W h e r e is 1 he M a n ? l o us, as to Paul, comes the challenge: "Rise, and stand upon thv feet ."

"Not in the clamor of the crowded street, * Not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng.

But in ourselves—are triumph and defeat."

I appeal to the college men and women of America. W e have de toured ; we are dallying along the mythical crowd-road to human happiness. Let ' s get back onto the personal-achievement highway, where lies the "great u rge of man 's con-structive instincts. ' O u r lot is cast in an age of unprecedented individual re-sponsibil i ty,—for the man who will shoulder it.

One has aptly likened us to the l ightning bug, an insect which has its torch on its rear end. 1 hough all the past be illumined, do we know where we are go-

Let us look ahead, not back ; up, not d o w n ; and press on. ing ? not and will not be a repetition of the past. Let ' s cease to be "bugs" and

let's refuse to be one of the mass, the herd, or the crowd. "Every man in his own a mor of thought wields the weapons with which he carves his success or commits his suicide. We can be Men! W e must be Men!

Bruno, an Italian philosopher, was burned at the stake for "seeing more clear-ly than those m authority in his day." On his monument the passer-by reads this simple, yet sigmficant, inscription, "Raised to Giordano Bruno by the generation wInch he foresaw. Always, friends, the individual has shaped the destinies of the world. I he saving grace in every hour of crisis in the world's history the star ot hope in every siege of perplexity, the ray of light in every darkened age has been I h e Man. ^

W hen we shall have learned that a man of the crowd lacks confidence be-cause lie lacks self-knowledge, that self-analysis must precede true self-expres-sion . w h e n we shall have learned, I say, that self-knowledge is the essence of true kingship; then shall we be m e n , — M E N ! When we shall have learned to "re-concile ourselves to novel and revolutionary conceptions"; then shall we realize !i . v i q U e S t l 0 n S ^ r e n e w opportunities." When we shall have learned that blind chance is not the controlling force of our lives; then shall we refuse to be puppets dancing to the strings of fate. To you. fellow student, is flun- the challenge. \ ours is the choice; Manikin or Man?

You would not tarry here : but "take up the task eternal,"

And "debouch upon a newer, mightier world,—-

Debating

Debating at Hope has been pursued the past year by a certain evil j inx and the results are not very sat isfactory. Debating as an activity has difficulty main-taining itself in the institution because of the lack of complete support of those in authori ty. Obstacles encountered by reason of this condition, plus the fac t that the squad consisted largely of inexperienced men, united to play havoc with the hopes tor a great debating season in 1928.

Accepting the handicaps. Coach Irwin J . Lubbers began his work with the squad in preparat ion for the four scheduled contests of the Michigan Debating -eague. I hat student enthusiasm had not abated is indicated in the goodly num-ber who pait icipated in the elimination contests. T h e undesirable condition soon

dispelled hopes, but an effort was made to carry on in spite of it and the several debaters pe r fo rmed creditably. Of the four rival college teams met dur ing the season Hope was defeated by three and victorious over one. A good brand of debat ing was displayed in most of the contests and the decisions were close.

All debating activity of the college is conducted under the auspices of the local chapter of the national Pi Kappa Delta forensic f ra terni ty . John Mulder holds the presidency of this chapter. The society is honorary in nature and mem-bership includes all who have represented Hope in one or more forensic contests.

The proposition for debate this year was a timely one, "Resolved: Tha t out present Latin American policy be condemned." The question occasioned a spirited clash of opinion in the major i ty of debates, the controversial points being the right of the United States to intervene in Latin America and the success of the policy, measured in terms of actual benefit to both nations concerned. A s tudy of this important subject and presentation of it to others yields compensa-tions fo r all effort expended.

T h e Negative debating trio engaged the team of Western State Teachers ' College in a keenly contested debate, on the evening of Februa ry 9 at Kalamazoo, and lost by a two-to-one decision of the judges. Each step of the argument was disputed. The division of opinion among the judges indicates the closeness of the contest.

Meet ing the veteran debaters of Carroll College on the local p la t form on March 1, the Hope Negative team failed to tear down the arguments of their opponents and were declared to be the losers by an audience decision. Inability to cope with their rivals in the presentation of the argument is largely responsible for the defeat . Professor Bruce M. Raymond acted as chairman.

Pi Kappa Delta Altho smallness of membership has seriously handicapped the local Pi Kappa

Delta C hapter dur ing the past year, it has nevertheless enjoyed a successful season. It is only dur ing a short spr ing season that the local g roup reaches a desirable size. Graduat ion depletes the ranks and each Fall sees every member holding an office. Under such conditions, the organization seeks to foster all forensic enterpr ises on the Hope Campus.

Membership is confined to those s tudents who have taken par t in one or more inter-collegiate debates or oratorical meets. Oppor tun i ty for such activity is given th rough Hope ' s membership in the Michigan Debat ing and Oratorical Leagues. Addit ional competition is possible at the intersectional and national convention of the Pi Kappa Delta.

T h e f ra te rn i ty is a purely honorary one and offers little opportuni ty for social activity. At tempts are being made to popularize the annual spring supper among the active and alumni members. It will be possible to create a greater interest in forensic projects and a larger chapter will result .

A Bit O' Seriousness

T H O U G H T S A N D T H I N K E R S

I houghts are like the pieces of a picture puzzle picked up here and there and everywhere. Whoever succeeds in putting his thoughts together to form the right picture at the light time is an educated person. Once in a while someone succeeds in finding a thought all his own, far more beautiful, far more real than any he has picked up. Such a one is a genius.

Many people refuse to possess such things as thoughts. It will always be the duty of the thinker to do the thinking for a thousand others. So, when the thinkers delight in mixing up their thoughts just to find out how grotesque or common they can make their real ideas,—woe unto the thousand!

B R O A D - M I N D E D N E S S

Some people travel to get it. Some assume an attitude of indiflference to-wards their fellow beings and towards their actions, and think they have it. And others are lax and indulgent as to thought and duty and call themselves broad-minded.

But one does not find broadmindedness in foreign travel, unless he travels with the purpose of understanding foreigners and their customs; he cannot be indifferent unless he is indifferent to those things which he has learned are in-different ; he cannot be lax in his judgment unless it is time to show mercy.

bor what is broad-mindedness if it is not understanding.

I wouldn't be cynical—• It clouds the sun

I wouldn't be too practical It 's a dreary road to run.

'Cause where there's work— There's f u n !

I wouldn't be always happy It 's wearisome.

The Anchor

Nature s noblest gif t , my gray goose quill"—says Byron—"that mighty instrument of little men." For one long year we members of the Anchor stafF have faithfully dipped our pens and have poured our efforts, our time, and our ideas into this college publication.

Our college paper has filled an important and unique place on this campus. W e have endeavored to record the important events on our school calendar, to maintain an interest in other schools' activities, and to represent our Alma Mater to the outside world. Our policy has been liberal and broad-minded. W e have truly tried to reflect the life on the campus and have endeavored to raise it as well—for the press is a power for molding opinion and stimulating student thought.

Frequently, we have startled the student body and alumni out of their smug complacency with radical editorials. It is not all in vain for we have at least created a stir which is less to be detested than the apathy of disinterestedness. W e may have been, at times, radical and destructive, but through it all we have tried to inspire and uplif t campus l i fe—for we have had the welfare of Hope

at heart. We have done our best to rouse a loyal and enthusiastic school spirit and to foster a feeling of good fellowship.

Every member on the staff has played his part in making the Anchor a bigger and better paper. W e have increased the size of the paper and worked for a strongei editorial system. W e have tried to make the Anchor more interesting and readable by introducing cuts, cartoons, and other feature material. This practice has been an innovation and though it has been commended it also has of ten been denounced as bordering on the sensational.

Abo\e all we have not taken ourselves too seriously; we have retained our sense of humor and have philosophically smiled at the idiocyncracies of l i fe; and. though we have not fully realized our ideals, we hope we can make our exit with the thought that the Anchor has played a greater and greater part in the life of Hope College—that "then pen has truly become a clarion."

I h c M I L E S T O N E of 1 9 2 8 is the record in picture and print of the year 's ac-tivity ; it is a por t rayal of student life, of the work and the play on the campus ; it is a \ oice proclaiming to the rest of the world the Hope College of today,— her achievements and victories, her tradit ions and spirit, her principles and the ideals which she pursues. Annuals have been published by the junior classes of the institution for thirteen successive years and this one numbers fourteen. Al-ways it has been the Spirit of Hope, alert and active, which has urged students to the task.

The year of 1927-28 has been a year of achievement, of building at Hope. W e have stood by and watched the s t ructure of Colonial Memorial s t ructure begin to r ise; day by day we have seen it grow into a living reality, bearing testimony to the continual upward striving of the institution, foreshadowing .yet greater things fo r Hope. This rising s t ruc ture has a significance. Hope is concerned with a similar process in each individual. Training of intellect, building of character , development of personality in the light of the highest things of life—it is a defi-nite fu r the r ing of these aims tha t measures off Hope 's milestones of success. This success is many-sided. It is the glory of competition with rival colleges; it is the satisfaction of giving all you have for the accomplishment of a given t a s k ; it is the pleasure of happy association with fel low-Hopei tes ; it is the real-ization of the growing powers of each individual ; it is the finding of oneself in the scheme of things.

The members of the Staff of 1928 have put for th efforts in order that a record of this may always be had. Reverses have come. The work has not always been easy. \ et we are glad to do it, believing that in the completion of the task we should find an ample reward and that in the per fo rming of it we could be of service to our Alma Mater and to those who have chosen to call themselves Hopeites.

To Our Fellow Classmates and Friends; To All Loyal

Hopeites:

It is here that we, on whom the Class of '29 bestowed the responsibility and privilege of producing Hope's fourteenth Annual, wish to express our apprecia-tion to all those who have so willingly assisted in making this 1 9 2 8 M I L E S T O N E

a reality.

The scenic section of this book is largely a contribution of the Jones Studio. The excellent photography is a production of the Lacey Studio. To both we are indebted for their splendid cooperation evidenced by their interest in this student publication.

A thank-you to the business men of Holland, to the patrons of our adver-tising section, to all our subscribers without whose cooperation this book would be impossible, is also in order.

And lastly, but in no way slightingly, we say thank you, to all those who have lent their talents to assist in the work. The fine cooperation of the staff members is responsible for whatever measure of success we may have attained. W e are especially grateful to those members of the Sophomore class, Gerrit Vanden Bos and Alvin De Vries, and to John Moedt, a Senior, who have ably assisted the art editor.

i he work has been intensely interesting, bearing with it not only a responsi-bility but a priceless privilege as well. We truly appreciate the opportunity of portraying Hope College Life through picture and print in these pages.

Sorosis

"The virgin moon— Her golden depths Alive with friendship's pearls— Enfolds simplicity of Strength, Honor's nobility."

A real par t of Hope College life, and a very precious part—like the jeweled pendant of a plain gold necklace—that is what Sorosis is to her daughters.

'W hat is so pleasant as meeting with a group, with whom one can relax upon the res t ful obligations of f r iendship? W h a t so encouraging as the interest of

those who count? W h a t so enlightening as the honest, unbiased criticism of your

equals? W h a t is more beaut i fu l than the spirit that searches for the t ru th in

manners past and present, and seeks to use that t ru th in building stronger, more symmetrical lives?

^ hen we a ie old, across the years will come the remembrance of work and honors shared, of f r iendships tried and made strong. And we should never

oe able to forget the fr iendships that made easier the slow and pa infu l efforts to learn to live and give in an exacting world.

I \o more a f ra id of work than of play, no sooner condoning ugliness than condemning beauty,—Sigma Sigma aims to implant the highest ideals of girl-hood and womanhood in all lines of accomplishment.

Delphi

"Delphi sisters proudly gather, Strong, united, true."

if

Many hundreds of years ago, the Greeks used to climb old Mt. Parnassus to learn f r o m the wisdom of the Delphi oracle. Today, Delphi sisters gather each week for the same purpose, in our Society room. Firs t of all, we meet for cultural pursuits , to obtain knowledge that comes f rom contact with others. T o us, this means scholarship and character building, ideals of Delphi girls. But we also meet for the pleasure of these fr iendly gatherings, for we believe in social l ife and generous enthusiasms.

Because of our Society, College has meant more to us than striving a f t e r knowledge. College days are made brighter and happier by the friendships formed in Delphi s name, for these, we are certain. T ime can never sever.

May we ever be worthy of carrying the Orange and Blue, colors of the Alma Mater we love, t rue to the Gold and Blue of Delphi!

"We raise a song to Delphi With a heart that is loyal and true.

We raise a shout for Delphi, And our song echoes back from the blue.

We hail thee, dear old Delphi, And the Heavens return the song;

For, our love for thee will be lasting. Gold and blue, we will love thee long!"

It is symbolic of the deepest respect for the rights of others, and constant striv-

of honesty, integrity, puri ty, and service which combine to produce a sterling

character of sweet reasonableness. Knickerbocker means t rue education, the

never-ceasing search for knowledge. Knickerbocker means t rue philosophy, a

love of wisdom, which rises above any collecting of facts, and makes for keener,

more capable manhood and real influence in lightening the burdens of mankind.

of ability who are pledged to ever keep the "RUBY-BLACK 'NEATH THE ORANGE

Emersonian

Learing high our s tandard of "Love, Honor , and Success," we are a group purposing development of individuality, singly and collectivelv, for the attain-ment of greater usefulness to our Alma Mater .

I his, because we say with Ralph Waldo Emerson, "it is easy in the world

to live a f t e r the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live a f t e r your o w n ;

but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweet-ness the independence of solitude."

Divine-providence has made a place for every man. The degree to which each fills his place is gauged by the cloak of education he wears. Each must make

his cloak of education, or of individuality, and the established curr iculum gives

at its best but a formless gown. W e believe that the funct ion of a literary so-

ciety is to tailor each member 's gown to a more perfect fit by providing means for the application of theories learned to his part icular aims and ideals.

H a n d in hand with the intellectual development is the ever living, ever present, Emersonian Fellowship by which each member is broadened morally

and socially. Each member of our beloved Phi Tau N u is a developing, indi-

vidual, co-operating link in the chain of Emersonian Fellowship which is bound together with loyalty and is working for Success through Love and Honor .

"Then, though bright college years, shortest, best of our days. Shall fade with the ebbing sea's tide;

Still shineth the light through our memory's haze, Of our friendships that ever abide."

W h a t girl could ever forget her college days? They are painted indelibly

upon our memory. Nei ther time nor experience has the power to erase them.

And still, among all these memorable days, are some which stand out first and

foremost , some which we cannot help but think of with a little more poignant

memory. These days are symbolized for us by the lavender and gold of the

Dorian s tandard. Under this s tandard, we strive together, now and always, for

"simplicity of manner , strength of purpose, and beauty of character ." This

is our goal, to be obtained with the help of Dorian and our Dorian sisters.

W e believe "that f r iendship is one of the most precious g i f t s of l ife," a

g i f t to be sought a f t e r , held and cherished. Wi th in the circle of Dorian we first

begin to develop this g i f t . But the desire to be a f r iend is not a thing which can

be limited to the nar row confines of a single g r o u p ; instead it must reach out to

embrace all humanity. It is, however, within the smaller group that we find the

best there is in fr iendship. Here , we give and receive the best of all things

worthwhile, secure in the love and unders tanding of each member. Together ,

we strive to fit ourselves to obtain and to hold successfully our appointed place in the world. This will be the test of t rue worth.

Thus , ever reaching upward toward the highest ideals of strength, simplic-

ity, t ru th , loyalty, and love which will be our stay in years to come, our hearts will ever be t rue to Dorian and our Alma Mater . T o them we owe a debt which it is beyond our power to pay.

Addison

Some men find their place in l ife and do the greatest amount of good pos-sible; others grope around, do nothing fo r human welfare, and become a detri-

ment to mankind. 1 his is the difference between an educated and an uneducated

man. N o man can accomplish anything if he does not have the t rus t of his fel-

lowmen, he can under take nothing if he does not take the initiative and show his leadership; and last, he is helpless if he is not cultured. Every college man

has a desire for good fellowship to be enjoyed in an atmosphere that bespeaks

of cul ture and refinement where each man has a confidential t rus t in his fellow

society man. O u r motto of "Fideli ty, Leadership, and Cul ture" has been our

aim and the guiding star which has enabled us to weather the storms and con-

flicts. W e want our fidelity to lead to a greater fidelity; we desire to be leaders

among m e n ; we long for the culture and refinement which makes life worth liv-ing.

Wi th records of the past to inspire and encourage us, we confidently tu rn to the fu ture , fully assured that the final outcome can mean only success. W e

have overcome some obstacles, won some victories and mastered some principles.

It is our motto to praise the s tandards of our fel lowmen and thereby raise the s tandards of dear old Hope.

Days at Hope must have their sunset, After night new days will dawn. But fond memories e'er must call us To the halls from which we've gone. When old age with white has crowned us. And our eyes are not so bright, We'll recall those happy hours 'Neath the Purple and the White."

Alethean

Of t ru th , " Bacon wr i tes : " T h e inquiry of t ruth, which is the love—making or wooing of i t ; the knowledge of t ru th which is the praise of i t ; and the belief ol t ru th which is the enjoying of it, is the sovereign good of human natures."

So in thee, O Alethea, we find our sovereign good. Under thy banner of -tvose and I due we make fr iendships and strive for the greatest good.

Great joy has been experienced in fellowship among girls whose love for sincerity of character and earnestness of purpose has held them loyal to the highest good. In our associations, we have learned the joy of living, the glory of seivice, and the satisfaction of fair play. W e have been given strength to meet defeat and the power to fight on, even though the victory may belong to

Oh, Alethea, thou inspiration to t ruer and more glorious l ives; thou hast led us closer to God who is our divine r e fuge and strength.

. I h o u hast g i \ en us the f r iendship of those who have worked together for then entire college life. W e have tried fa i thfu l ly to live up to thy s tandards of right living, of honor, of fidelity, and loyalty. W e have tried to co-operate in unselfish endeavor. May those who come to thee in the fu ture , love thee and cherish thy principles.

Thus we members of Alethea seek to develop our bodies, minds, and souls, in a f a i th fu l and loyal life of service to Alethea and to our Alma Mater .

"So lead on. Oh torch of light And lead us on to truth and love I"

Dickensian

T h e motto, " W e ' r e not on the heights but going upward , " can well be ap-plied to the youngest Society on the campus. Dur ing its brief existence Dick-ensian has not been inactive. In membership the society has grown to almost its constitutional allowance. In respect to spirit, increasing interest has called fo r th greater endeavors. These facts together with the rendition of specially prepared literary programs, and the t rue value of constructive as well as de-structive criticism, are vital factors in the development of the members that shall remain of permanent value to them.

The lure of seeking new friendships should not be ignored as an incentive to the members. True , active, productive f r iendship is the only one that is practiced. It demands above all an unselfish spirit. The contact between the members while working together provides the opportunity for this ful ler f r iend-ship. It is expressed through the co-operation of all the members for the good of the Society with the fu r the r aim of promoting the best interests of the school.

But this is not all. Although Dickensian is not at the zenith of her growth, she is continuing on the path of glorious achievement, beyond the victorious up-ward trend of the past. Young men are not only receiving benefits that are lasting to themselves but there are always others following in their train, for whom Dickensian also ofifers a greater appreciation of life, a life that is made ful ler by active f r iendship coupled with a sense of increasing lovalty to the best.

W e can but say, "Shine "on, ye bright lights of Dickensian. Keep all the members in the glow of the upward march. Yours is the task to keep the Black and Orange waving with the Orange and Blue! Ye bright lights of Dickensian, shine on for the t rue spirit of Hope and your reward shall be sure."

Minerva

:

"Minerva, to thee we our Loyalty Pledge."

Loyalty, indeed, has been the one outs tanding fea ture that has characterized Minerva ever since it was organized in 1896. It was the first society on the campus, then a combination of college and preparatory girls, but an increase in number necessitated a separation. Now, Minerva is the preparatory girl 's society.

As we pass another Milestone and look back over a little more than a quarter ot a century, we feel that her high ideals and noble aspirations have not existed in vain. 1 hrough their fa i thfulness and s teadfastness of purpose we are spurred on with renewed vigor.

He r patron goddess has. indeed, cherished her. and has blessed her daughters with a rich measure of that wisdom which only a literary society can afford.

. •.vt P r e s e r i t we have an enrollment of only eight members, but through their a i thfulness and loyalty they shall still endeavor to maintain their worthv stand-

Mehphone

T h e Meliphone Society has come to the close of another successful year dur ing which the banners of f r iendship and loyalty were l if ted high. I t is the oldest society on the campus, having a cherished past of seventy-one years-— years of progressive development of its members along literary lines, years of quiet molding of f r iendships .

Meliphone will strive ever fo rward to those high ideals on which Hope was founded. T h e Spiri t of Meliphone cannot be defined, but those who have it say it aids them in their moral and social life. Graduates of this society have fast be-come leaders in their various spheres of act ivi ty; Meliphone numbers members throughout the entire world and all thrill at the memory of the w o r d s :

"We always cheer whene'er we hear That name known far and wide; The name of Meliphone With us will e'er abide."

Ulfilas Club

Among the student body are still several who. realizing the beauty of the Holland language, are desirous of mastering it in order to be able to converse fluently in the tongue of their forefa thers . These, with the aid of Professor Welmers , have reorganized the Ulfilas Club. Membership is open to all s tudents who have any ability in speaking the Holland language or interest in it as a literary study.

Organized in 1887, and temporari ly disbanded since 1924. the Ulfilas Club again holds sacred the tradit ions of Hope. Its aim is to help its members, and consequently others, in the appreciation of original literary productions f rom the Land of the Dikes. At weekly meetings the members are also given the oppor-tunity to give their contributions b}' way of literary numbers and recitations.

It has long been the custom to give a public program each year. The unique feature of this year s program was the presentation of the Shakespearian play, "Jul ius Caesar," in the Holland language.

One who reads the signs of the times can readily see that Chemistry is of vital importance to the world. It is not surprising, therefore , that a subject of such infinite variety and interest commands the attention of the younger genera-tion. Although the Hope College Chemistry Club is an infant , as f a r as years are concerned, nevertheless, it waxes s t rong with its spirit of youth and vitality. Its main purpose is to stimulate good fellowship among its members. The club is under the leadership of Doctor \ an Zyl, who by his active interest and constant loyalty has done much to make the club grow and prosper.

Those students who plan to make chemistry their life s tudy and have proved themselves capable are eligible for membership.

T h e regular programs are held ever}^ three weeks and consist of papers given by the members and dealing with some phase of chemistry. Lectures are also given by outside speakers who have had practical experience in the industry. In this way a breadth of thought and feeling is obtained by observers f rom two dififerent views. Students of a subject so extensive as chemistry have an interest in all phases of its progress and members of the Club find the programs instruc-tive and beneficial.

Science Club

Science today demands whole-hearted cooperation and coordination among

its various branches, as well as specific devotion to a par t icular science. The

Hope College Science Cluh is str iving to give its members this breadth of view

over all of the fields of scientific endeavor. It aims to provide a spirit of unity

among the students of the several depar tments of science and thus to enlarge and relate their views.

1 he essential qualifications for membership in the Club are proved ability

along scientific lines and a devotion to science. Members are chosen f rom the

science s tudents of the Junior and Senior classes. Meetings of the Club prove

to be instructive and interesting. Addresses by the college science professors and student research papers comprise the programs.

Science has come to the f o r e ; its progress is almost incredible. The new

scientific spirit has swept into all of the schools of the country and argues well

for more rapid advance in the fu tu re . The Science Club is the concrete reflexion of this new spirit.

Pre-Medic Club

Man is the product of the community. Tn every group of people, whether it be savage or civilized, there grow up customs and fixed ways of acting and think-ing. A child not only inherits f rom his parents certain instincts and impulses to action, which are rooted in his physical organism; he becomes also a par t of a social system or way of livng, which is made up of a great variety of customs, usages, and laws. These factors largely determine the kind of a life man will lead and the better these conditions, the better and easier man 's existence will be.

As we enter our life work, we feel a keen sense of duty. W e feel as if we have a definite task to per form. O u r aim is to improve these sociological condi-tions of man. O u r ancestors have pioneered and have brought this wonder fu l age. W e also can pioneer. W e are not going to fal ter and make it impossible for our descendants to enjoy the richness of the heri tage which might be theirs.

Meetings of the club are held every two weeks. The subjects discussed are such that they give the Pre-Medics some insight into the science of Medicine. The Society was formed with the idea of advancing the students ' interest in Medicine.

" 'Progress' Greatest St r ide" is Medicine and for it we are t rying to fit our-selves to carry on the great work.

A Word F r o m the Coach

Athletics play a definite part in the work of an educational institution. Tt is the classroom and the gymnasium cooperating that will accomplish the most for the individual student. Athletics accomplish two major th ings: they de-velop a man physically and they assist in the formation of character. Ha rd train-ing makes for strong well-developed bodies and a powerful physique. The work is a builder of character, making the athlete every inch a man. Participation in sports develops individual initiative, perseverance, and a determination to over-come all obstacles. As a member of a team the athlete must learn the necessity of cooperation and self-sacrifice. Proper team play and team spirit inculcate into the individual habits which will be of value to him in later life. Good sports-manship and a desire for fair play are qualities which an athlete must possess. Diligent training and practice, throwing yourself into the game for all you are worth, playing to win, yet not fearing to lose, and always playing like a true sportsman,- -these are the things which build character.

It Hope College has always maintained a high standard of sportsmanship, is traditional and has helped to mold the character of the institution. To win games at any cost-—never! Hope stands for something nobler; she aims at something higher than a victory unfair ly won. Teams must fight, but they must fight fairly.

Hope is a member of the M. I. A. A. and meets the competition of rival colleges in the sports of football, basketball, baseball, and track. Teams are turned out for each one of these sports. Also, gym classes are conducted for the benefit of the studentry. These various duties require long hours of service, but the work is interesting and the satisfaction worth while.

A New Era in Hope's Athletics

J fc I o

I i E

] he Athletic Board of Hope College is strictly a student organization. It pui poses to promote athletic activity and to raise funds in financing all inter-collegiate sports. Each successive board has contended with these problems in the hope that they might be of service to both team and coach. All have met the problem of creating an enthusiastic atmosphere and exacting proper support fi cm the student body for such athletic games. l o give the proper impetus to secure this demand has been a task more difficult than it may appear to be in pi int. ^ et a reaction has set in, favorable to the cause. The general tendency has served to promote a new era in Hope College athletics. The student body has displayed its spirit and both team and coach have felt this interest and en-thusiasm to great advantage. Students on the campus and the local sport fans have also remarked favorably of the new enthusiasm.

1 he ground has been prepared for greater success in the fu ture and the outlook is encouraging. It has been a slow and difficult start, but, if handled correctly, it may eventually bring proper support to our Athletic Department.

Certain mass meetings of the year have added fuel to student enthusiasm. An excellent example of what a Hope student body can do when it receives the inspiration of a pep meeting was shown on the night when the Alma Quintet was entertained by Hope College. The game was the talk of the school and of the town 1 he inauguration of a bon-fire to usher in the football season has received a start—small but nevertheless auspicious. It all means that more high class mass meetings are desired to keep the group at a definite pitch of enthusiasm throughout the year.

Then, again, a carnival was sponsored by the Athletic Board this year. It served to displace the "fun-nites ' of last year. It was a marked success, the studentry responding with a will. It added a new form of pep and enthusiasm novel yet entertaining.

It shows that Hope College is becoming "athletically" alive. It serves to intensify M. I. A. A. competition. It gives confidence to our teams, and it helps to show results in the percentage column. To bring out winners means co-opera-tion between team and student body. Realization of this is spreading over the studentry and augurs well for athletics at Hope.

Athletic Board of Control

J he Hope College Athletic Board of Control is a joint alumni, faculty, and student body organization. As a director of athletic affairs it is the final authority in all cases coming under its jurisdiction. Together with the Athletic Board it conducts all intercollegiate sports and aids in promoting clean sportsmanship and fair play. It serves as a judge advocate on all athletics, passing on the eligibility of all Hope College athletes and stressing conformity to the rules of the M. I. A. A. of which it is a member.

Dur ing the past years its duties have been small because of the fact that athletic affairs have been conducted in such an excellent manner . At present as a M. I. A. A. member the duties of the Board have increased, but the same ex-cellent conditions exist in the athletic department through the continued efforts of Coach Schouten. 1 his added M. I. A. A. work has been taken care of in splendid shape by the Board members and Hope College athletics have become more successful.

The Season 1927

The baseball season of 1927 saw Hope ' s first attempt in that sport in M. I.

A. A. competitive circles and her showing was praiseworthy, winning as she did f rom every Association team she played.

Weakness in the pitching staff was easily recognized as the factor that counted in Hope s defeats , with Cole the only regular pitcher to go through the

season a f t e r \ an Lente was declared ineligible. Cole's work on the mound was

admirable, his best exhibition probably being the game with Albion on May 28 in which Hope wrested a 5 to 4 victory.

A very fine brand of baseball was displayed by the Hope team, captained by

Jack Elenbaas, on many occasions and the recognition as one of the four best teams in the Association was well deserved.

On April 16, Hope was defeated 13 to 1 by Kazoo Normal in the first game of the season. I he defeat by the veteran Normal team afforded an opportunity

to see the squad in action and it gave a chance to smooth out the rough spots in the team's play.

1928

Page One Hundred Sixty-four

Page 169: Milestone 1928

Inability to hit when hits were most needed cost Hope the next game against Kazoo College by the score of 3 to 1. Cole and R. Japinga formed the Hope battery in this game in which Hope allowed eight men to die on the bases.

April 29 was the date that Hope crossed bats with Mt. Pleasant Normal. The game was won by the Upstaters 11 to 8. Both teams hit about evenly, but since Mt. Pleasant bunched their safeties to make a bad inning for Hope, they won the game. Van Lente, in his first attempt, pitched a fine game.

I he next day proved to be an ideal one for baseball and Hope played Alma at Alma. The Dutchmen were forced to take a 9 to 4 defeat. Hope outhit Alma and, though Cole's pitching was superior to that of the Alma hurler, the ragged play in the infield in two instances resulted in Alma scores sufficient to give them the game.

On the 4th of May, Hope obtained revenge f rom the Kazoo College team

by beating them 1 to 0 in a beautifully-played game. Air- t ight ball throughout

made it one of the outstanding Hope performances and an exhibition of playing in a veteran style.

The next day Hope opposed the strong Michigan State team at East Lan-

sing and, with Van Lente pitching, the Dutchmen gave a good account of them-selves, losing by but two runs, 7 and 5.

On the following af ternoon, Hope 's third game in as many days, St. Mary ' s

was forced to go eleven innings at Orchard Lake before she could down the

Hope team 7 to 6. Hope missed a wonder fu l chance to win in the last of the

ninth inning and the tie was broken by St. Mary ' s a f t e r two more innings of play.

On May 10th in Holland and on May 13th at Olivet. Plope and Olivet en-

gaged in two contests with Hope winning at home 11 to 2, and Olivet winning

there 5 to 0. In the game at Holland the Hope men hit the ball freely and played well in every way, but at Olivet the Olivetians were not to be denied and by spec-tacular fielding and timely hitting scored 5 runs and held Hope scoreless.

A week later the local Independent club furnished opposition and in a nicely

played contest beat Hope 3 to 1. Hope 's game against the veteran outfit was an admirable one and the score was expected to be much larger for the Inde-pendent team.

T h e next day Hope was again defeated in an eleven inning contest, this

time by Albion by the score of 3 to 2. The small score indicates the close battle. H o p e s defeat was due to loose fielding rather than infer ior pitching or weak hitting. Cole and Japinga again formed the Hope battery.

()n the 25th of May, Alma, the Association leaders, came to Holland and

were severely trounced. W h e n the smoke cleared away it was found tha t Hope had gained 14 runs while the best Alma could do was 5. The Hope hitters pounced

on three Alma pitchers, all of whom proved ineffectual against the heavy bar rage of the Hope hit ters.

Three days later Hope grabbed another M. I. A. A. victory and another re-

venge by beating the Albion team 5 to 4. Cole gave a remarkable pitching per-

formance and the entire team supported h im in championship form. This win

entitled Hope to compete in the annual 38th field day series held at Albion the 3rd and 4th of June .

In the tournament Hope lost to Kazoo in a close contest, as the score of 2

and 1 indicates. Hope, however , completely outplayed the Kazoo team and the

Albion Evening Record of June 4th had this to say of this g a m e " H o p e outhit

and outfielded the Baptists but could not put across scores a f t e r placing men on

the bases having no less than thirteen left on the bases." Hope was a victim of

some u n f o r t u n a t e breaks as she was a s t rong contender for M. I. A. A. honors.

Hope ' s record shows that the team merits much praise fo r its showing, especially if the handicaps under which the coach and team were working are taken into consideration.

The Season 1927

Hope entered upon her first season of M. I. A. A. football last Fall only to

labor under serious handicaps. The t ime-worn hindrance of inconvenient labor-

atory hours upon the practice sessions made concerted practice f rom day to day

impossible, and even scrimmage had to be discontinued on several occasions be-cause of the limited number report ing for practice.

Graduation, fai lure of some to return to Hope, and ineligibility of others, made large gaps in the Hope line, which had to be filled f rom reserve material.

A f t e r rounding a team into shape, injur ies robbed Coach Schouten of Kleis

and Nett inga and Hope 's chances for a winning eleven were blasted. Undaunted ,

the team, with Russell Japinga as captain and Schouten as coach, went through a heart-breaking season, but despite defeats, the morale of the team was not broken and they came up smiling on each occasion.

On October 1st, Hope 's team, with only six days of practice, traveled to

Albion and in a game played in ideal hot baseball weather, was beaten 31 to 0.

Albion, with a large squad, substituted fresh teams. The hot sun sapped the resistance of the eleven men playing for Hope and the onslaught of fresh mate-rial finally crumbled their defense in the last half, a f te r having held Albion to a lone touchdown in the first two periods. The defeat was no disgrace for Hope, as the team staged a valiant battle against overwhelming odds.

Hope's next game was with Hillsdale on October 15th. The game was played before a huge crowd at Riverview Park where Hope's aerial attack proved too much for the Dales, and Hope won her only home game, 13 to 6. Rarely has Hope been seen to function in such veteran style as on that day. Hillsdale boasted a team that was being groomed for the M. I. A. A. title, but this game definitely put her out of the running. The first half was a punting duel in which Captain Jappinga had the better of it, although half-t ime found

Page One Hundred Seventy-one

Page 176: Milestone 1928

M I L E S T O N E

both teams scoreless. In the third quarter Russell ja])inga picked up a fumble and raced forty yards for a touchdown, but before the quarter ended, Hillsdale scored on a pass and the count was tied. Both teams then fought desperately to win. and in the last period, a pass to Van Lente for twenty-three yards and five yards added by Xettinga and De Cook placed Hope in a threatening position. On the next play Winter received a pass over the goal line and it was Hope's day of victory.

The following Friday the Dutchmen traveled to Flint and an 18 to 7 defeat was handed them by Flint Junior College. This game showed a complete re-versal of form as displayed against Hillsdale, although Hope led at the half 7 to 0. Flint Junior staged a plucky comeback in the last half and were fortunate enough to receive a couple breaks of the game which resulted in touchdowns, and Hope was defeated. In this contest both Kleis and Nettinga received badly wrenched knees which kept them out of fur ther competition. The injuries were costly as both players figured prominently in Hope's offense.

Failure to grasp full advantage of the breaks and lack of the final punch at crucial moments counted heavily in the 19 to 6 defeat handed the crippled Hope eleven the next Saturday by Olivet. Hope, minus the services of Kleis and Net-tinga, was not the smooth-working machine that had so completely outclassed Hillsdale two weeks before. Time af ter time Hope fought her way to a scoring position but each time she was repulsed—the final drive that results in touchdowns was absent.

Page 177: Milestone 1928

On November 5th, Hope s battling but disorganized team invaded the Alma camp and emerged a beaten team. The score of 39 to 0 does not give a fair estimate of the lelative strength of the two teams. Hope's line presented the best spirited defense of the season and Alma was forced to resort to an aerial attack in which department she was particularly adept. The victory gave Alma an undisputed claim to the M. I. A. A. title.

Armistice Day found Hope engaged in her final tilt of the season with Kazoo College at the Celery City, where two thousand people saw Hope, a f te r gaining a six point lead at the half, go down to a 26 to 6 defeat. Hope's touch-down was scored on a pass late in the second quarter. Kazoo scored three times in the third and once in the final quarter. 1 he battle was much more interesting than the score would seem to indicate. 1 he contest was replete with sensational plays, the passing game being the chief mode of attack for both teams. It was a hard defeat to accept but it was a memorable achievement for Ivazoo rather than a disgrace for Hope who gave all she had to stem the tide but to no avail in the eventful third quarter.

It is significant that af ter the season's pla}^ Captain R. Jappinga and Alvin \ ander Rush were accorded berths on the mythical all M. I. A. A. second team while John Klay received honorable mention.

1 he season held many defeats but f rom it we learn to "take our losses with a smile and a song and our gains with a wink and a whistle" and to set our eyes on the fu tu re with the determination that next time victory will be ours.

Freshman Football

The one year residence rule, adopted by the M. 1. A. A. late in 1927, gave to Hope her first opportunity for a l l -Freshman Athletics. He re to fo re Freshmen

had been eligible for the varsi ty but with the adoption of the new rule, Freshmen and varsity athletics were separated.

So the first Freshmen football squad came into being in 1927. Coach

Schouten, assisted by James Ten Brink, had a fair-sized squad practicing already the first week of school.

Besides offering opposition to the varsity each night, the Freshmen also

battled with other M. I. A. A. Freshmen squads. The game with the Kazoo Freshmen was lost a f t e r a fierce struggle. Journeying to Olivet, the yearlings played a scoreless tie with the Olivet Freshmen. Much credit is due to Coach

Ten Brink for the good showing of the team.

Several men of real ability were discovered dur ing the season and Coach Schouten will certainly use them to fill varsity positions. Since fu tu re teams must take their material f rom the Freshmaan squad, this branch of sport should

gain more prominence in succeeding seasons.

Basketball 1927-28 Having entered upon her second year in M. I. A. A. basketball competition,

Hope found herself in a three-way tie for third place at the end of the season. Most of the Association schools had veteran teams and very high-class basketball was displayed in the M. I. A. A. games.

Hope played the season, minus the services of four players who were expected to compete for the Orange and Blue, namely: Kleis, Jappinga, Cook, and Nett inga. Despite this setback. Coach Schouten whipped into shape a fast and clever quintet, which ever proved itself to be a formidable foe to all opponents and a constant menace in the M. I. A. A. title scramble.

The following players won the coveted " H " for their services on the cour t :

Laverne Vander Hi l l—forward and Captain-elect. Dean Mart in—center and Captain. Wal te r De Ve lde r—forward . Bernard De P ree—forward . William Heydorn—center . Carl Van Lente—guard. Ray De Young—guard . John Klay—guard . Clarence Diephouse—guard. H . Japp inga—forward . Alvin Vander Bush—guard.

All of these men will be available for next year 's team, with the exception of Heydorn .

The following is a resume of the season: On December 8 Hope opened the season with an auspicious victory over

the Krauses of Muskegon, downing the visi tors .by a score of 51 to 17. In this game Kleis suffered the in ju ry which kept him out of M. I. A. A. competition.

The following Wednesday Hope gained another overwhelming victory by defeat ing the Weal thy Florals of Grand Rapids, 55 to 18. Hope 's play on this night was clearly superior to the fo rm presented in the opening game.

On December 21 the Grand Rapids Boters, who later became the A. A. U. champions, defeated the Hope squad in an exciting pre-season game. The score of 24 and 21 gives some evidence of the closeness of the battle.

A week later another Grand Rapids team, Basch Jewelers, came to take the measure of Coach Schouten 's cohorts, but were defeated, 43 to 29, in a game which showed Hope in better f o r m than in the game with the Boters.

J a n u a r y 2, found the Hope team playing before a packed gym at the Grand Rapids Y. M. C. A., where they turned back the Bethanys, 36 to 28, in a highly interesting game. In all the contests thus fa r , Hope ' s entire squad of f if teen players saw action.

In the opening M. I. A. A. game on Janua ry 6 with Hillsdale, who were heralded as formidable title aspirants , spectators saw H o p e win a flashy 35 to 24 win.

A week later another M. I. A. A. opponent, Olivet College, was done away with by a 39 to 30 victory. Hope ' s team was funct ioning well with no outs tanding per formers seeking glory for individual work.

Alma administered Hope 's first defeat on Janua ry 20, by a score of 33-23, in one of the best contests ever witnessed in Carnegie Gym.

The following week Hope traveled to Albion where she was forced to take the short end of a 45-19 score. I he score does not indicate the relative strength of the two teams as was shown in a later game.

Three nights later Hope and Michigan State College clashed in what proved to be a nip-and-tuck affair until the last five minutes of play, when State broke loose to achieve a 36-21 victory. It was a great game and a tough one to lose.

February 1, found Kazoo College at Hope and, a f t e r a hard- fought game, Kazoo took a 27 to 22 win. Hope 's defeat banished title hopes. This was partic-ularly hard to take because merely the fai lure to make foul shots is responsible for the defeat .

In a non-association game, Kazoo Normals defeated the Dutchmen, 47-20. Hope weakened in the last half and Kazoo, ever on the alert, took advantage of every break and cashed in on a substantial win.

With both teams displaying great fo rm, Hope and Alma met on Februa ry 10 in a game which Alma won 32-25. It was a great battle and anybody's game fronii the opening whistle. Alma scored in the last minutes sufficiently to gain the 7 point margin.

The next Tuesday, Hope experienced a bitter "off -n ight" and Hillsdale won the re turn game 34-28. Hope found it easy to penetrate the Dales defense, but failed when it came to scoring.

On I^ebruary 14, in one of the best games of the season, the highly-praised Kazoo Normal team was given the scare of their lives. Hope played hard and contested for every point, with the lead changing of ten throughout the game. A basket just before the final whistle gave the Normali tes a 29-27 victory.

The next week Hope was an easy victor over the Olivet quintet by a 29-15 score. All of the Hope squad saw action in this game.

Travel ing on f rom Olivet, Hope clashed with St. Mary ' s at Orchard Lake the next night, in a wel l - fought and fiercely-contested game. The winning basket was thrown by \ an Lente just a second before the final whistle. It was a notable victory.

February 29 witnessed Hope 's second defeat at the hands of Kazoo College, the final score being 47-27.

A week later, Hope brought the season to a brilliant close in achieving a remarkable 38-37 win over Albion. It was a great game, superbly contested, with both teams able to keep the lead at intervals only. Van Lente again pulled the game out of the fire by scoring with only a few seconds lef t to play.

Freshman Basket Ball

1 he football togs had hardly been tucked away when the call for basketball candidates was issued. About twenty-five yearlings responded. Several of the squad reflected considerable court experience but on account of the late one year residence ruling, no Freshmen were qualified to bid for varsity positions. Conse-quently, Coach Schouten aimed to develope an al l-Freshmen team. He was ablv assisted in this phase of his work by "Lee" Kleis.

T h e Freshmen team furnished interesting preliminaries to all the varsity games on the local floor, besides, on several occasions, traveling with the varsity, to meet the Freshmen teams of the rival M. I. A. A. colleges.

1 heir record throughout the season was a creditable one. As a crowning ^vent they entered the A. A. U. tournament and remained for a third round, by reason of their victory over the Bethanys', a team which, in a pre-season game, gave the varsi ty interesting opposition.

Dur ing the course of the season with the team's development much promis-ing material evidenced itself and no doubt a goodly number of the squad will see first team service dur ing a later season. Though this is the first experiment in an al l-Freshmen court team, it has more than justified itself since it is f rom the present lower classmen that Hope looks for fu tu re varsity stars.

Gross Country Track

1 he call lor fleet-footed collegians was answered last fall by a willing and eager group of men. I he essentials of long distance running were discussed and a strenuous training season opened. Cross country running demands a great deal of one s time and energy and every man of the squad exerted his best effort for the welfare of the team by daily answering to a strenuous workout.

1 he great event of the searon was the meet at Kalamazoo in which the vari-ous representatives of the M. 1. A. A. matched their speed with one another. 1 lope s team accounted for itself very creditably, tieing with Alma for second honors. Captain Dunnewold was first man in for Hope. He captured sixth place while his running mate, Swarthout, finished eighth.

During the season the team met with several costly accidents. Hoot was in-jured in the Kalamazoo meet and Swarthout later turned his ankle. Both men were unable to continue training. With decimated ranks Hope's team did not journey to East Lansing to participate in the State event though the team enter-tained great hopes of returning from that contest with highest honors.

Next year with good coaching and a bit of encouragement from the school, Hope should see a fast team in operation. A few of this year's team will leave, but a fine nucleus will remain about which a record shattering team can easily he built.

Track

Having joined the M. I. A. A. in the Fall of 1926, Hope entered her first t rack competition in conference circles in the Spr ing of 1927. Three meets were engaged in with rival colleges and the results were fairly successful .

May 6, the Hope men went to match themselves with the experienced Kala-mazoo College team and gave an easy victory to their opponents. Johnny Nau ta showed up to the best advantage fo r the H o p e team, tying for first place in the broad jump . T h e entire per formance of the Hope team against the veterans of Kazoo was creditable.

The meet with Olivet College on May 13 was decisively won, Hope having 73 points to 33 for the opponents. Olivet had to be content with gett ing firsts in but three contests : the 440-yard dash, the shot-put, and the broad jump. The Hope firsts and the winners are as fol lows: Nau ta , 100-yard d a s h ; Moser , 220-yard d a s h ; DeVelder , half-mile r u n ; Popma, mile r u n ; Dunnewold, two-mile r u n ; De Roos, discus t h r o w ; Meengs, high jump. T h e relay team easily defeated the Olivet runners .

T h e M. I. A. A. Track and Field Meet at Albion was not very successful since Dunnewold was the only man to place for Hope . The competit ion was Very keen and it was to be expected that the inexperienced team should be outclassed.

Tennis Despite the fact that Hope's 1 ennis \ earn had no tennis courts on which to

practice, they made a fair showing during the 1927 season. For the first time in the history of the school, the tennis team represented the Orange and Blue in intercollegiate competition.

W. Heydorn, O. Maddaus, N. McCarrol, W. Klerk, and E. Damstra repre-sented Ho]>e in the tennis meets. Maddaus and Damstra won their singles; Hey-dorn and Damstra won their doubles at Mt. Pleasant. At Alma, Heydorn, Mad-daus, and Damstra won their games in singles, and Heydorn and Damstra in doubles also. Hope was outclassed by Olivet: nevertheless, the games played there were very close. At the Intercollegiate Tennis Tournament at Kalamazoo, Heydorn and Damstra represented Hope. Damstra eliminated the Ypsi man in singles, a f te r which Heydorn and Damstra took defeat at the hands of the Ypsi pair.

Enthusiasm has been created in tennis and now that Hope is in the M. I. A. A., we are going to work that enthusiasm into some real interscholastic compe-tition.

" H " Club p

The " H " Club is an organizat ion having as its one requisite for membership

the possession of a Hope letter earned in one of the sports in which the college

engages. This requires part icipation in the major i ty of intercollegiate contests in

any certain sport. Thus , in this organization all of the athletes of the school are banded together for the promot ion of the entire.

1 o be an athlete of Mope indicates several qualities in the character of a man.

A strong and healthy physique, well-developed and trained, and an alert and active

mind—these are the pr ime essentials. Na tu ra l ability as an athlete, per fec ted by hours of practice and a strict adherence to the rules of t raining, is always found

in the man who has distinguished himself on the athletic field. The Hope athlete

is a man of c l iaracter ; he has that sense of right and wrong which guides him in all contests, urg ing him to play and play ha rd to win, but always to play with

fa i rness and in a spirit of t rue sportsmanship. The Club has been in existense fo r many years and has acquired considerable prestige among the student body. It is deemed a worth while honor to be in possession of an Orange " H " with all that it signifies.

Athletic Debt Diggers

Hot-dogs! Frost-bi tes! Only a nickel!—this is the cry raised by the Athletic Debt Diggers as they ply their t rade at the various athletic contests of the year. Fa i th fu l ly at their post among the cheering fans, the A. D. D. girls seldom fail to br ing out their wares and they are always anxious to make a sale. Frost-bites, when the sultry a tmosphere of Carnegie Gymnasium tends to lower the pep of the watching f a n s ; hot-dogs, when the chilling winds, of ten a t tendant upon out-door contests, drive away the enthusiasm of the crowd.

T h e one requirement for membership is that each A. D. D. girl must be a loyal supporter of all Hope athletic teams. A. D. D. members are in at tendance at all of the games and bring for th a display of pep which adds to the school spirit of the entire student body. Financial aid to the Athletic Association is also a contribution of this group. All of the earnings go to swell the Athletic f u n d and are used in the purchase of sweaters and other necessary equipment for the team.

But for this, as one may say public demand, I perhaps should not have ventured to offer these mere "collegiate references" as mental food for the fu ture "English-speaking ( ?) freshmen and women," entering the doors of this institution. W h a t readers ask nowadays is something that improves, instructs and elevates. This is not the elevator department. I cannot conscientiously recommend it for any useful purpose whatever. All I can say is that when you get tired of reading "the best hundred books," you may take this up for a change.

Of course, we're all mighty glad to have a school annual, we are all the more glad since we can truly expostulate with others that it is a "collegiate" annual. But we are especially glad that the printers and not to forget our "editor-in-chief" have survived so completely.

Af t e r all. when, say twenty years hence, you're a financier, fat and forty, you'll get a whale of a kick out of putting your feet on top of some mahogany desk (with one of "Alma Mater 's daughters" at your side), to take down the old M I L E S T O N E , thumb over the pages, and chuckle over the old days when the "p ro f s" used to tell you that your last days were destined to be spent in either

Or , if on the other hand, your lives should fall in less pleasant places and you find yourself inhabiting a two-dollar-a-week hall bedroom on the third-floor back, and a tom-cat is swearing like a medical student by exercising his canary complex on the back-yard fence, what could be sweeter than to reach out. lay your hand on the trusty old M I L E S T O N E , hail it at the nocturnal musician, and then roll over and finish your last for ty winks?

As aforesaid, it certainly is a "collegiate" annual portraying college life. 1 he field was unlimited and it was necessary for the Staff to set a mark—and

they ve missed it by far . 1 hey must be highly commended for what they have placed in it and for what they have left out—very much so! However, casting no reflections upon either the M i l e s t o n e or the Freshmen, it would seem to the impractical observer or to one who had visited the campus in the beginning of the year that part of the comic section had somehow gotten mixed with that of the Freshmen. Vice versa might have been more t rue to form.

Still other minor discrepancies have creepingly crept into the M I L E S T O N E .

The scenic department for example. All that is aesthetic has found place but no where do we find a picture of Voorhees' washday. Nowhere do we find any resemblance of Van Vleck with its many dilapidated inmates. No picture shows what rapid progress "all three men" are making in the building of the new chapel.

And in the athletic department we fail to see or read anything about the "tiddley winks squad" or even the results of the "marble shooter's tournament ." W h a t is moie. the debating team has classed itself in an entirely different depart-ment. Evidently they have abandoned their cane, umbrella, and cuspidor tactics for want of a better method—inappropriate gestures."

Inirthermore, when it comes to making a date—that isn't so bad ; but when information is needed as to where she lives—Ah, there's the rub ! W e are glad that two gentlemen of our number have found their place in the social circle and have experienced that difficulty. W e are glad that thev were moved to the ex-tent of helping other "Hopei tes" by publishing a Student 's Guide. However , a situation of far greater importance—one that has been silent and steadily on the inciease has hit our campus with a diamond-like blow. Being leap year many have leaped before they analyzed, but W H O ? That is the question. The an-swei is not found in the JMILESTONE, SO here s our plea—Make the campus safe for "democracy." Ar ise! overcome the situation by publishing some directory possibly entitled "Oose Ducky Is U . "

But then we can't expect perfection in this vale of death and tears, and as Shakespeare has i t ;

" F r o m the day that you're born Till you ride in a hearse. There 's nothing so bad But it mighta been worse."

Sept. 2 1 — l o o t ! H o n k ! B a n g ! Buzz! Hel lo !—and school has s tar ted again. Facul ty and students gather in Carnegie Hall and those not fascinated by the first edition of the Anchor ( s tudents , of course) hear Dr . Broek give inspiring address .

Sept. 2 2 — F r o m Chapel to Classroom—"thus onward thru life we go," at least a f ew do, the rest still reap the benefits of delayed registration. Some hopefu l instructors give ass ignments—and some promising s tuden t s—fresh f r o m the com-mands of fa ther , the gentle pleadings of mother and the tender stir of their own conscience, take them down.

Sept. 23—And right away the F reshmen have a ha rd t ime—mental tests, can you imagine it ? and they thought they were at college! Brooms, mops and dust-cloths exercised in Voorhees—af t e r Summer ' s rest. Societies meet and movie houses crowded with Freshmen .

Sept. 26—And now school has really s ta r ted! F reshmen have discovered that classes do meet ,—and where. U p p e r classmen who can't possibly find an-other hitch in their schedule, reluctantly go to class. M I L E S T O N E Staff holds meeting.

Sept. 27—Seniors are all enthused—hold Class Meet ing and elect officers be-fore they forget all about it in the rush of college life. As an "added a t t rac t ion" in Chapel. Dr . Dimnent gives lecture on et iquet te ,—Don' t lie bourgeois—advance to the ranks of the "Five H u n d r e d " and say " H o w do you do."

With such good shops and stores in which to trade as are to be found here, the wonder is that anybody at anytime should consider it necessary to go elsewhere to do any part of his buying.

The J. C. Jenney Company is proud of its fellow-merchants in town, proud to be one of them, proud to share with them the great responsibility which as distributors of the necessary things of life is due the public, proud to work with them in providing those economies which add so much to the joy of living.

Our community fu ture is what we make it. Let's all work together.

The proprietor of a Wisconsin drug store (Cedar Grove) recently installed a window display that attracted more attention than anything he had ever pre-viously tried.

The man in question had purchased as an antique an old sofa f rom a family where seven daughters had been reared and courted. When he took it apart, preparatory to repairing, he found 47 hair pins ; 3 mustache combs ; 46 buttons ; 13 needles; 8 cigarettes; 5 photographs; 217 pins; 6 pocket knives; 15 poker chips; 34 lumps of chewing g u m ; 9 quill toothpicks; 4 button hooks; some grains of cofifee and a vial of headache tablets.

VISSCHER BROOKS Says

" S M I L E A T O L D A G E "

Every man dreams of a day when he can lean back and say, "Tha t ' s al l!" and divide his declining years between a golf course, a book and a good cigar, if he feels so inclined.

The great major i ty of men, however, fail to reach this state of financial freedom. So engrossed are they in the present that no trustworthy plans are made to definitely provide for old age.

Failure to plan for the future results in an appalling number of men being dependent at age 65.

The man who makes realities of his dreams arranges a definite financial plan, including adequate life insurance funds to provide for the years to come. H e can smile at old age.

All Northwestern Mutual life and endowment contracts are remarkable in their adaptability to meet the needs of the Insured himself, besides giv-ing protection to his family and business during the years of his greatest responsibilities.

Your Noi't Invest em Mutual Agent ivill gladly lend his expert assistance in helping you to drazv up a dependable financial plan. Ask for figures.
