Peter—Clyde Geerllngs. "A sure success," was t h e common Judgment of all t h e guests on t h e Knickerbocker Party held Thursday n i g h t at t h e Women's Literary Club rooms. The party was a formal affair which promises to become an a n n u a l event in t h e coming years. Arriving at t h e club rooms t h e guests f o u n d themselves entering a beautifully decorated hall. All light was provided by large floor lamps. These with t h e help of numerous neatly upholstered davenports and chairs gave a very cozy effect. Guests were greeted by Mr. Vernon Ten Gate as president. Miss R u t h Marcotte. Mrs. W. K. Durfee, Miss M. Gibson, Mr. Egbert Fell as retiring president and Miss Geraldine Walvoord. Following a general greeting. t h e guests seated themselves about t h e room and were entertained by a program, presided over by the president. Literary talent was revealed by William Winter in a paper on "Sunny Italy." The paper contained a very complete description of the members's recent visit to t h e Italian shores. This description, spiced wfth occasional humor, held complete attention throughout. T h e n came a philosophic n u m b e r by Paul Van Ess, known among his brothers as t h e "Knickerbocker Philosopher." His paper took Its material from the philosophy of S c h o p e n h a u e r and gave an entire review of t h e writer's stand. Musical t a l e n t was t h e n presented by J o h n L. Kollen In two piano solos and by the Knickerbocker vocal quartet, composed of Ray Smith. Roy Natess, Vernon Ten Gate and Clint o n Cole. The t r u e humor of t h e evening was contained in the comedy entitled "The Robber.' George Kllley "took t h e crowd by s t o r m " In his dramatization of a modern young girl known as "Edle." He was assisted by J o h n L. Kollen as t h e young collegiate. William Hughes' appearance as t h e mother i n t e r r u p t e d t h e progress of t h e spoken p a r t s for fully three m i n u t e s while the audience sent f o r t h peals of laughter. I t was concluded t h a t Hughes was an Ideal mother with hie light musical voice and m a t e r n a l chin. His only handicap seemed to be flat-footedness. Hughes was assisted by Wm. Tuttle as t h e scolding f a t h e r who came near losing a tussle with his d a u g h ter's suitor, J o h n L. Kollen. The end of the tussle saw f a t h e r T u t t l e trembling, b u t "not with fear," of course. 'With the "Jolly, good'" program ended, t h e guests spent a short period in visiting and making new acquaintances. This was followed by a two-course lunch, gerved by a group of high school girls. The costumes of t h e waitresses produced many favorable comments. B u t soon came the only sad part of t h e whole party —the "Good-Night Ladles". And as t h e couples left t h e club rooms, all agreed t h a t colored gowns, tuxxedos, a pretty hall, a good program, and, most of all. fellowship, had produced a "whizz of a party." The success of t h e affair is a t t r i b u t e d to the efforts of J o h n L. Kollen, Dean Martin, Ray De Jongh and Nick Prakken, who composed t h e general committee. : — o "AW!

You remember how you enjoyed "The Goose Hangs High," last year? "Tailor-Made Man,,' a comedy-drama in f o u r acts, is Just as good and better. The cast is large, composed of about forty m e n and eight women, a great n u m b e r of whom have had previous experience along dramatic lines, having appeared either in their local high school productions or other similar affairs. Their talent is now being developed to an even greater degree under t h e able direction of Mrs. Durfee who has coached t h e a n n u a l play for some years. The whole drama class is working h a r d and indications point to a huge success. One of the main points of Interest In this play lies In t h e f a c t t h a t It Is "different."

Miss Magdalene De Pree, Hope's librarian, has resigned her position and left last week for the h o m e of her sister. Mrs. J. Dlssete of Indianapolis. This sad and unexpected news come as a result of a temporary physical breakdown t h a t will necessitate a period of rest and relaxation from all work. For t h e past three or four weeks. Miss DePree had been feeling badly, b u t u n willing to give u p her position as Hope's librarian kept at it u n t i l she was f i n ally forced to resign. Miss De Pree came t o Hope college In the summer of 1915 a n d took charge of the library as t h e first regular librarian of Hope college. Previous t o t h a t time one of t h e professors had acted as librarian, opening t h e library for only a few hours a day. I m m e d iately u p o n her acceptance of t h e position. t h e library was opened at regular hours and students enjoyed a drawing privilege t h a t they had never h a d before. Not only was t h i s noticeable change made, b u t also t h e library itself underwent a complete house cleaning. Books were p u t in a more systematic arrangement, m a n y new books were purchased as well as many new magazines subscribed to. until finally t h e character of a regular college library prevailed. Meantime u n d e r her careful guidance and consideration s t u dents have enjoyed a n efficiency t h a t has made her most valuable t o t h e school. This, combined with more, has made her one of t h e most popular of t h e faculty members. Her loyalty to t h e s t u d e n t body h a s made h e r almost invaluable. Her spirit of co-operatlon, combined with a broad knowledge of books has p u t her advice at a premium. Miss De Pree's absence will be keenly felt not alone by t h e upper classmen who had come to know and love her, b u t also by t h e lower classmen who recognized in her, one, whose ability and kindly spirit endeared her to all. It is with a feeling of deep regret t h a t Hope bids farewell t o such a f a i t h f u l servant and friend. Miss De Pree also expresses a note of regret as she leaves Hope college. She says, "Although they used to tease me by forgetting their books, yet I shall sadly miss t h e many alibis t h e y presented to me," and again, " I t Is with a heavy heart t h a t I bid farewell t o Hope's s t u d e n t s In whose midst I have spent many of my happiest hours." We sincerely hope t h a t It will not be long before Miss De Pree will again be seen on t h e campus.

Kleis again led his teammates in the scoring, with nine points to his credit, and Martin played a good game at center, caging 7 points. "Boo" Cook presented another strong game at guard, besides caging two shots from mid-floor. The entire team played well, Van Lente, De Pree, R.

After play began, neither team scored for two minutes after which Davis, Kazoo forward, caged f o u r baskets while Kleis and Martin each added a deuce. Martin added another point via t h e foul route, a f t e r which N. Schrier and Meulenberg scored in rapid succession.

To the students and faculty Hope's entrance Into this Association Is of special importance. Formerly the school went Into a year of Athletic activity without any set mark as her goal. Whenever a game was won. a small tremor would be aroused among the students b u t in the course of time the victory would be forgotten. I can cite, at least, two Incidents In the history of Hope's Basket Ball teams, namely the team of 1922 with those two forwards of heroic fame, "Dick" and "Dyke," and the team of 1925 with t h a t stellar guard Van Lente, where Hope had virtually won t h e title to the Western Michigan Championship. Hope defeated every team It met at least once and also the strong quintet from M. S. C. Yet In these seasons Hope won no cup, no honor except a small wrlte.up In the press. The men who played on these teams were not given any recognition by any one In authority. Hope. In other words, produced teams to win games but not to win a position In the accepted standards of athletics. Formerly these things were very true, but the Is for the men not on the class team. The girls have the gym at their disposal. according to this schedule, on Saturday mornings and Tuesday evenings.
cial support as t h e team needs your moral support. An extensive campaign has been launched last fall to sell everyone an athletic ticket Still there are over 35 per cent who have refused to buy one. The board believes t h a t the M. I. A. A. games will attract larger crowds and will help to place the association upon a more stable financial basis. Hope's initiation into the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association is a large advancement for t h e school. Hope can now go out and wlo laurels and honors and establish a preetlge among the other schools of the state. This calls for united effort from every student In t h e line of enthusiasm and pep and also with reference to the financial problems. Since this Is Hope's first year In the M. I. A. A. she must deliver real teams and opposition. We cannot help but feel t h a t with faculty, studentry. and teams working together Hope can now go out and win laurels also will show t h a t the Hollander may wear wooden shoes on his feet but c a r . rles real gray matter In his head with which he puts over his projects.

To present advanced work in one specific line is the concern of professional schools and postgraduate courses. Many prominent universities will not accept the credits earned in lower schools If courses in more than two distinct sciences were taken simultaneously. Hence to safeguard the students the Faculty has made this ruling. Hope Is a preparation rather than a substitute for the schools of specialized education.

athletics. A greater significance of the M. I. A. A. falls upon athletes who shall represent Hope. It means more consistent practice and training, for competition will be keener.* The teams must show more willingness to co-operate Instead of entertaining personal or social feuds upon the field of action. Also the athlete must watch his standing in class room work, for the requirements, although not any higher t h a n in former years, must be met. Consequently the M. I. A. A. means special training and an earnest effort on the part of the players. The Athletic Board, which has done much to make all this possible, Is facing troubles which can be overcome by a little united effort. The board feels t h a t It Is merely an organism of the students and Is dependent upon the students for support. The financial status of t h e board Is far from what It should be. In order to join the M. I. A. A. a membership fee had to be paid which causes the expenditures of the Board to become rather dlcult to bear. Hope's Athletic Association Is as much In need of finan-

Dr Dlmnent had conBldered the affair of enough Importance to require his presence, so he was there w t h his usual enthusiasm. There was also a group of college fellows most of whom however had come on account of other Interests t h a n those related to the college. Since exams were over, and every one was in good spirits, pep and enthusiasm was not lacking. The boys sang a few songs and the girls answered with " I n That Dear Old Town of Holland. Michigan." It could be plainly seen t h a t the girls were extremely pleased with the sylrit shown, and t h e fellows should be complimented for Impress ng on the minds of the girls, t h a t the college is behind them, and t h a t every thing they do will effect the reputation of the club and the honor of t h e college.

Class-room contact develops a certain familiarity between the two sexes which ultimately leads to a condition in which the sexual distinctions are no longer recognized. The girls become common objects in the lives of the boys, perfectly incapable of arousing interest. In the boys mind they no longer are what poets would call "delightful mysteries," and their feminine appeal remains u n noticed by those whom it is expected to attract. As a result, whenever the boy feels t h e natural urge for female rom companionship, he has no desire to seek a recruit from the familiar display of class-room faces but prefers something different. Men prefer a non-co-ed for a companion in their social life because she does not entertain by a recital of her class-room honors which are Invariably higher t h a n those of her escort, because she respects the intellectual superiority of her collegiate friend, and because she is more interestlng company In that her purpose Is to prove attractive as"a woman rather t h a n an intelllgentcla. This common lack of Intorest gradually develops into disrespect and the boy no longer "feels" the presence of a woman. Girls are admittedly perfect wizards at tabulating and mentally pigeon-ho!ing facts. Their excessive study affords them plenty of opportunities to "show up the boys in the class, who are not particularly enthusiastic about collecting a mass of "cut and dried" facts, and whosc interests are divided between many activities. But visit a class where original thought is required, such as a science or mathematics class, where the gleaning of musty facts is a minor consideratlon, and you will find the boys eating it up."

"Hope-lte." o Dear Editor:— My conscience is clear. I tried to do right but a little technicality saves me. You cannot imagine how happy I am. is f o r this reason t h a t I am writing this outburst and wasting your very va'uable time. The other day I was having an exam and in the course of it I thought I saw a violation of our Honor Code. I tried to tap on the seat, chair or desk all at the same time b u t this was impossible. I broke a pencil and spoiled a perfectly good disposition tryinf to do so with sufficient intensity for the student to know it. Well, friend vioJato;* finally gave me reasonable assurance t h a t he knew what I was trying to dc. But only after he had ceased his viclation. Now under our Honor Code I den't even have to report him to the Honor Committee. Am I right or wrong?
