Dr. Wichers Tours Alumni Meetings Dr. Wichers, during this past week, has made a tour through the East. He attended both the New York and Albany Alumni Chapter meetings. A tribute from the New York Chapter will be found on the editorial page.

The Alumni of the Albany Chapter of Hope College Association have sent the following summary of their meeting.

A cafeteria sapper was served in the Girl Reserve Room, of the Schenectady YWCA a t the annua] Spring Meeting of the Albany Chapter of the Hope College Alumni Association, Friday evening,

Rev. L Glgers Speaks A t Installation Service Following a dinner a t Reefer's Restaurant last evening, the installation of Y.M. officers was held.

An inspiring message w i s given by Rev. Lambert Glgers, pastor of the Sixth Reformed church.

"Overcoming Doubt" was the subject of an address presented to the Y.M. on May Ist, by Rev. Ver Meer, pastor of the Central Park Reformed church. His discussion centered upon the scripture quotation, "Lord, help thou mine unbelief."

Al Staver led the song service and Dick Hine conducted the devotions. Rosemary Finlaw, accompanied by Jereen Rynbrandt, sang " H e Died For Me."

Tern pus Fugits Tempus Fugit is said to be an established fact and who am I to dispute an adage that dates way back p. m. (pre-Mussolini) to you all who have no knowledge of basic English, and who has? Anyway, though the weather is no indication, the calendar is a fairly good gauge of the time of the year, which in this case, is Spring.

(For farther information ask any Hichigander, we are unable to convince those that hail from New York!) But in case you're wondering, this is NOT supposed to be a (dissertation on Mother Nature and her caprice. (See WEBSTER.) This time sort of is the last lap of School Year lM4-'45, and to many of our number it marks the Qnd of four y e a n filled with fan.

Junior candidates, reading from left to right: Ruth Ellison, P a t Haskins, Ruth Joldersma, Alan Staver, Lucille Tenninga, Joyce Van Oss. On Thursday morning. May 17, Hopeites will vote for next year's Student Council president. Sorority and fraternity candidates for this office are Joyce Van Oss, Delphi; Ruth Joldersma, Sorosis; Ruth Ellison, Dorian; Pat Haskins, Sibylline; Lucille Tenninga, Thesaurian, and Alan Staver, Tri Apha Eleanor Everse, present Student Council president, will introduce these candidates during the chapel service on the day of the election.

In case of a tie for the office a second election will be held on May Day morning, May 18. Runner-up for the presidency will be the vice president next year.

New sorority Student Council representatives are Esther Bogart, Sorosis; Marian Mastenbrook, Thesaurian; Louise Ter Beek, Dorian; Betty Van Lente, Delphi.

A joint social meeting of both the old and new Student Councils is scheduled for the near future.

The qualifications of the candidates are given below.

Ellison Ruth Ellison needs no introduction to the student body. Her friendly smile, her cheery laugh, and her energetic way of walking across campus is familiar to both dorm and town students.

During the three years that Ruth has been on the campus she has proven her leadership abilities, her executive talents and her enthusiasm for all activities which aim to make the student relationships better and give a well rounded college program. She has participated in Palette and Masque, Glee Club, choir, French Club, and is a member of Pi Kappa Delta.

She is on the business staff of the Anchor, and secretary for the Dorian Society.

In her junior year Ellison has been secretary of houseboard, a member of the Milestone business staff, secretary of Pan Hellenic, A.D.D. She gained valuable experience on the Student Council in her service as Social Chairman for this year. She is serving on the May Day committee.

She has assumed an important role in our war effort, as one of the faithful, hardworking Nurses' Aides a t Holland Hospital.

As a conscientious student Ruth has earned the respect of the faculty. Already the Dorm girls have expressed their confidence in her abilities of leadership by electing her prexy of all t h e dorms for next year. Her sympathy for the problems of the students; her respect of tiie wishes of the Board of Trustees and the faculty, as well as her deep feeling for the traditions of Hope will , help her to expedite to the best advantage of all the duties of the president of Student Council

kin fulfills both these requirements with capabilities to spare. Pat has beAi especially prominent in Musical Arts Club, W.A.A. Student Council and lending a willing hand in any campus activity that needed furthering.

Joldersma The Sorosis Society appointed Ruth Joldersma as their candidate for the position of Student Council president because we feel that in doing so we have put up a girl with outstanding qualities of leadership, personality, c h a r a c t e r , poise, and ability.

Joldy has been an active contributor to the Anchor for three years and is now editor-in-chief.

Her many editorials have shown a keen interest in campus affairs and an awareness of the student problems at Hope. As a member of house board, she has shown her ability to formulate and present new ideas, which culminated in our new "honor system."

Joldy has been very active in her sorority and is next year's p r e s i d e n t of the Pan-Hellenic Board. During her junior year, Joldy also worked a t the American Red Cross, when she exercised her ability to cope with all kinds of situations, and developed a knack for dealing with people. Serving in this capacity she has also learned to use her executive ability. However, she is not working off campus next year.

With the above attributes in mind, we elected Joldy, because we think she can do the job and do it well.

Staver Tri-Alpha's candidate for student prexy is Alan Staver. Al is so well-known on campus, that his abilities and personality really need little elaboration.

However, Alan has shown his leadership and executive ability in his capable editing of the 1945 Milestone. He has served as vicepresident of his class as a Sophomore and a t present is the president of the Junior class. Staver is serving as Tri-Alpha prexy and has just become a member of Pi Kappa Delta. For the past three years, Staver has served in various capacities on the Y. M. cabinet — as Personal Service chairman.

Mission chairman and Deputation chairman. He has been active in Debate, Oratory and Alpha Chi. With next year's student body composed of quite a number ot returned service men, no doubt, it will be necessary to have a president of Student Council who will be able to cope with new conditions, and make the council a real governing body.

Need more be said about Staver's capability, earnestness, cooperation and executive ability? If Haskin ttiere is a job to be done Staver Efficiency and the willingness to is the man to do i t do a job well are two chief characteristics essential in any campus Tenninga leader, and president of Student Lucille Tenninga, elected from Council is no exception.

Page Two To Dr. Wichers For thirty full and useful years you have been part of the life of Hope College — shaping the lives of its students — guiding the destinies of their Alma Mater.

As a teacher, your great sympathy, love and understanding have left their imprint upon the lives of the men and women who have been under your guidance. Like the ever-widening ripples created by the casting of a stone into the still waters, your influence upon the lives of the generations will know no end. ' As President of our godly institution, you have walked in the footsteps of the Master, leading the way to new heights of wisdom and accomplishment.

As you leave the halls you love so well, we would have you know that you do not go alone—the affection and devoted interest of your students, your associates and your Church will be with you in your new field of endeavor.

The measure, pressed down and running over, that Hope College will ever remember you. Well done thou good and faithful servant."

Given under our hands in humble and affectionate tribute at the arfnual dinner of the New York Chapter of the Hope College Alunirii Association, this twenty-fourth day of April in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and forty-five.— (New York Alumni Chapter.)

How Does Hope Look To The Service Man Have you considered how Hope College looks to the ret u r n i n g service m a n ? Do we need to change? Maybe we don't, but let's seriously look at ourselves. If we meet the requirements — fine. If we don't, we had better start changing — and f a s t .

The r e t u r n i n g service man has matured. He has lived eternities in a few seconds. His attitude toward life and the world has grown and strengthened. How will our evaluations and attitudes measure up to him?

How do we judge a personality? Is c h a r m and physical prowess our criterion in j u d g i n g a m a n ? If it is we will have to change — grow up. Many will r e t u r n with a limb or an arm t h a t doesn't function too readily. Will that alter our attitude toward these men? Remember within that man beats a human heart — onf* c r a v i n g companionship and the comradeship of campus life. American youth is so apt to judge by exteriors. We love a u n i f o r m and are natural heroworshippers. Remember t h a t the m a n without the uniform is still the same as the be-ribboned G. I. we so enthusiastically hailed.

The service man is accustomed to living in a serious man's world. Over-emphasis of college fads, queen elections and traditions seems a bit silly to him. Returned G. I's have been heard to remark, "Can't they grow up?", "Must they chatt e r ? " , and " C a n ' t they discuss serious s u b j e c t s ? "

Mrs. Snow is developing a phobia on cars. If she isn't asking for them at every rehearsal, her twins are prowling in the side aisle to "plead the cause" for the family car. We should invest in a transport!

The Muskegon trip turned out very well. In fact, we have an engagement at Unity Reformed next year — already. May 20 will find us in Coopersville for an evening service, and that should end the galivanting for this year.

V-E day, the end of hostilities in-Europe, is the day we have been (praying for. An impressive chapel service at which both Glee Club and choir renders numbers, is Hope's way of celebrating.

Only three more weeks left in this semester, and such a busy time! Ruth Ann's recital, which we are all looking forward to, will be on the 22nd of this month, A varied and delightful program of vocal music is being planned, and you won't want to miss it. so keep that date in mind.

The next evening a voice recital will be given in the Chapel by students studying voice. That, too, sounds like an interesting program.

The Memorial Sen-ice for Hope men is to be held Thursday morning at 11:00 A. M. This will be a very impressive sen-ice and one of preat tribute to those who have given their lives for us. The choir will sing the anthem, "Souls of the Righteous," a fitting tribute.

If anyone is planning on going home early this year, don't let them leave before the Glee Club concert which will be given the Monday evening before commencement. From now on this concert during commencement week will be a tradition of the Glee Club.

Something especially intriguing and unique is being planned for following the recital. Tell you more later.

These men have been through unutterable horrors. It will be h a r d for them to settle down to study. Their nerves will have been tried to capacity so t h a t little things will upset them.

Let's not be caught n a p p i n g when the G. I.'s come home.

They have done so much for us. Making college more to their taste and liking is the least we can do for them.

W h y Not Argentina?

Many and varied are the problems being raised at the San Francisco conference of world powers. The most that can be hoped for is open discussion, f r e e exchange of thoughts and ideas and generous interpretation of demands.

It is beyond the present capacity of men of widely variant cultures to solve their respective problems — compromise measures and total concessions will be the ultimate end; but a worthy conclusion to any such world gathering.

San Francisco is much more a world conference than was the one in 1919. This time there a r e 46 nations represented as opposed to the 21 last time. T h u s it would seem that we are making progress toward international unity beyond the evidence of three years of close cooperation in the prosecution of the w a r . However it is not the task of this conference to write the terms of the treaties which will ultimately be imposed on a defeated Germany and a defeated J a p a n .

It is r a t h e r to m a n u f a c t u r e the machinery of a new league of nations which will defend the peace once it is won. This is the indispensible s t a r t i n g point. From there the differences will r u n their course and reach a final decision.

On April 30, Molotof touched off a heated debate by refusing to acede to the demands of the other united powers, especially the Latin American delegation, to give Argentina a seat at the conference. Inasmuch as Argentina was veritably "pushed into" the fulfillment of demands imposed by the Mexico City Conference to declare w a r on the axis, it seemed only fair and just that she be given the reward of such action; despite the fact t h a t such action would i n f u r i a t e Russia.

It is not f o r us now to take time to regret our vote of confidence in allowing A r g e n t i n a a seat on The Security Council, but to labor toward f u r t h e r goals of world cooperation and unity. If we feel compelled to j u s t i f y this deed of good faith, let it be primarily on t h e grounds of historical evidence; d a t i n g back to A r g e n t i n a ' s entreaties in 1919 t h a t t h e United States join the League Of Nations and our subsequent, repeated refusals. Argentina recognized in us a friend well worth cultivating but we cut her short with c u r t refusals. On another occasion t h e opportunity w a s presented us to assist Argentina in settling a dispute with Chile but again we turned her d o w n ; allowing Germany to mediate and by so doing to carve a toe-hold in the manipulation of t h e Argentine government. ( T h u s the origin of Argent i n a ' s ill. r e p u t e with the Soviet Union over t h e Facist flavored the Buenos Aires government.) Time and again Argent i n a has manifested her f r i e n d l y interest and f a i t h in t h e United S t a t e s by her desires to f o r m u l a t e mutually beneficial t r a d e agreements. A brief s p u r t of interest stemming from our Good Neighbor Policy attempted trade but narrow-

tfaaefi fa Dear G. I. Hope, Greetin's and Salutations from ye olde Hope. Final exams and term papers have been creeping up on us and some day not too far off we're going to get caught in that booby trap — woe is us!!!

In other words everything is snafu on the campus as it has always been. Now for the news — Sgt. Charles Claver writes from "Somewhere in the ETO": "I've been assigned to the Gliderborne Infantry of the famous IGlst Airborne Division somewhere in the European Theater of Operations.

It is a far cry from the peaceful atmosphere of 01' Hope, but we all hope to be back soon. There are great days ahead for Hope College, so carry on the traditions till we all get back."

Ens. Hob Lucking dropped us a line from Seattle, Washington.

"This station is undergoing a change at present. Our duties as a Receiving Station will primarily be to receive men for further transfer and further assignment. They are sent to us to await orders to ships afloat and overseas bases as well as assignments in the States.

My particular job as Disbursing Officer is to see that these men are paid promptly and regularly.

Until I started this work I never knew that so many men could be so broke most of the time. It is common knowledge that sailors do spend their money foolishly, but nobody gets rich in the Navy, either.

Evidently the Navy has forgotten that I'm still here. Ever since the first of this year I have been expecting that any day might be my last in Seattle. Although Seattle is a pretty city and a good place to be I still am anxious to leave for parts unknown. The old adage among the old regular Navy men is "The worst shore duty is better than the best sea duty." I can't resign myself to the fact that there is much truth in the statement; I must find out for myself.

This is my 10th month here and surely it can't last much longer.

I have read lately about the new Victory Ships being named after certain colleges. Now I'm very glad to hear that one is to bear the name of Hope — she will be a great ship." ; The Anchors have had difficulty finding T/4 Wendell Anderson, he writes: "My frequent change of address comes as a result of enemy action.

The latter part of last November my outfit moved from England to the continent, and within a short time found itself on the front lines.

Things happened pretty fast then, and before I knew it, I was on my way back to the hospital in England. I was a company aid man (medic) and at the wrong time I put a little too much faith in my red cross brassard. I must have been a good target because some jJerry sniper didn't have much trouble sending a slug through both my legs. Since then about three and a half months have passed, and I'm now getting ready for a return engagement (or as the fellows over here say 'sweating out the front,' hoping that the war is over before they have to go back.)"

Lt. Tony Kempker, USAAF, is stationed somewhere in France. He has already completed fifteen missions and has been awarded the Air Medal with two Oak Leaf Clusters and the soldiers' medal.

Cpl. John Massen writes news of some of our Hope gang — "You may be interested in knowing that this company has a strong Holland contingent and that some of us have a special interest in Hope.

There is Pfc. George Damveld Romeyn who attended the Alma Mater during '40-'42, Pfc. Irving Lemmen whose sister Shirley is a Senior. All three of us were inducted at the same time, sweated it out at the same induction center, and were assigned to the same outfit and underwent identical technical training/'

minded isolationism soon cut this short.

Be it for us not to condemn Argentina unjustly — we have never given this South American country a fair chance to prove her worth. Argentina is an adolescent nation — torn by emotionality and conflicting desires; bursts of energy expanded first for one cause then for another, antithetical to the original. Let us with open-mindedness view the progress of Argentina toward stability as exemplified by her reactions at San Francisco; encouraging all attempts at conformity and understanding with patience any moments of digression.

15th AAF in Italy — 2nd Lt. Henry Hoekman has arrived a t a 15th Air Force bomber base in Italy and has been assigned to a veteran B-17 Flying Fortress group with which he will fly as pilot in the final all-out air assault on Germany.

The Fortress group Lt. Hoekman has joined is one of the major striking units of the 15th Air Force which recently brought its "Battle of Oil" in southern and eastern Europe to a successful conclusion.

It has flown more than 450 bombing missions in its 32 months overseas and previously was based in England and North Africa.

Since the record breaking long distance mission to Berlin made by the Italy-based Fortresses of the 15th AAF on March 24, when tank works were bombed and which marked the end of the "Battle of Oil," the heavy bombers have been going out in full strength against communications targets, attacking railway bridges and yards along the supply lines tj) the German armies opposing the Russians in Austria, the Partisans in Yugoslavia and the American and British armies and their allies in Italy.

Lt. Hoekman has been in the Air Corps since February, 1943, enlisting while a student at Hope College, Holland, from which he graduated before leaving to begin (lying training.

Receiving his wings at Pecos, Texas, in June, 1(J44, Lt. Hoekman went through Fortress transition training and was then assigned to the Mediterranean theater of operation. He and his crews are members of the legendary Short Snorter's Club, having flown the Atlantic. l.')th AAF in Italy — For his skill and daring as a P-51 Mustang fighter pilot, First Lt. Gerard E. Cook has been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.

Members of a 15th Air Force fighter group commanded by Col. Marion Malcolm of San Antonio, Texas, Lt. Cook was cited for "outstanding courage and navigational skill" during a bomber escort mission to Germany. While enroute to the target one pilot was forced to bail out over the sea. Despite the adverse weather, Lt. Cook led his formation down and circled the pilot's dinghy.

Nothwithstanding the rain, fog and thunderstorm in the areas, and the proximity to enemy shores, Lt. Cook circled above the pilot for two hours, and "because of his prompt and courageous action, a successful rescue was effected."

Lt. Cook also holds the Air Medal with four Oak Leaf Clusters, and is authorized to wear the badge of the Distinguished Unit Citation

presented to his group.

The group to which he is assigned is a veteran of overseas service with more than 400 aerial victories. Since the first of this year the group has been actively supporting the Russian offensive by escorting bombers to and attacking vital industrial, communications' and rail targets feeding supplies to the Eastern front.

A P-51 Mustang pilot of the leading fighter group of the Mediterranean theater, Kenneth M. Leighton, received his advanced training at Eagle Pass, Texas, and was commissioned August 1, 1943.

Lt. Leighton joined the 31x1 Fighter Group at its Italian base on December H, 1944, and flew his first combat mission over Moosebierbaum, Austria, on February 1, 1945.

One of the oldest AAF fighter groups in point of combat flying against the Nazis, the 3Ist, recently gained lop place for serial victories in the Mediterranean theater when it shot down 21 Nazis on the last day of March and boosted its total to 509, of which Leighton's squadron has accounted for 180.

The 31st also participated in the historic mission against a Berlin target by the 15th Air Force, in which this Mustang group bagged five of the eight jet-propelled MK262's credited to the 15th's fighters over the German capital.

Corporal Arthur Slager is a member of the I05(h Fighter Group which has been awarded the Presidential Unit Citation for its part in smashing a German armored counter-attack during the Allied sweep through France last fall.

Lt. Scotting Scott officially known as Audrey has been stationed at Percy Jones Memorial Hospital here in Michigan. Recently Scotty put Hope on the map when her picture appeared in the May issue of "Madamoiselle." She was demonstrating the work of a physiotherapist.

Alumni Continued from Page 1 April 27. At 7:30, forty-seven Alumni and friends retired to the First Reformed church for an evening of song and fellowship.

The president. Rev. Reinhardt Van Dyke, had each one present introduce the person on his right which brought forth timely comments and good humor. Rev. Henry BurggraafT led the singing, ending up with several hymns and the Alma Mater.

A motion was made and seconded that a resolution be drawn up by the Executive Committee concerning the long service of Dr. Wichers in connection with Hope College, one copy to be sent to Dr. Wichers and one placed in the record book.

A prayer by President Van Dyke was offered for the ten Alumni serving in the armed forces of our country: 1 gold star for Rev. Clark Poling, Army Chaplain; 1 in the Army Nurse Corps, Miss Katherine Ives; 1 in the Navy, Harry Smith; other Army Chaplains, Rev. Ernest Crounse, Rev. Harold Hoffman, Rev. Ed. Swarthout; and 4 in the army, Phillips Abel, Frank Clowe, John Colby, and Richard Johnson.

QUESTION OF TIIE WEEK: How to combat the travel situation, or is this trip necessary, as Mr. Vriesman says when he falls over his own feet. Anyhoo, Ann Marie Wyngarden and Ruth Harmeling waxed patriotic in traveling homeward. Nice trip, gals?

And Vera Pennings with the blessing of Dr. Dimnent and Mrs. Gomez headed for her true love in Iowa.

FLASH: Joldy is dieting, so in case you see a shadow walking around with a deep voice, don't get it mixed up with Yehudi.

TWOSOME OF THE WEEK: Still headed by Ronnie and Walt, often seen entering Post's and William's and they won't live in Zeeland. (Already Ronnie has begun a record collection for the future.)

Now that Murray Snow has finally left for Illinois, Betty Kingsfield has changed her theme song from "Let's Take the Long Way Home" to "I'll Walk Alone."

HOT OFF THE WIRES: Dottie Atkins' is furlough-dating in Chicago with Eddy, her Navy man.

Marcia DeYoung received D i c k Fairchild's class ring. Dick is now afraid that she is Chinese because she always walks with her arms folded. Were you the third child, Marcia?

Spring Spirit Prevailed A f Thesaurian Meeting With the sophomores in charge, the spirit of the evening seemed to be filled with spring — May baskets, May poles. Tulips, walks in the park, and anything one might do in May. Martha Van Saun opened the meeting with appropriate devotions, and Marian Dame sang "Song to a Red Rose"—blushing just a little. Margaret White read a serious paper on the origin and truly great symbolism of Mother's Day. It was then Mickey Felton's turn to lead the group singing. "Songs My Mother Taught Me" was the first number, a f t e r which "Wait for Me Mary" was sung to a certain member who always hums a little tune about just kissing a picture good-night — incidentally, her mother didn't teach her that one. "Strolling Through the Park One Day" and others, were sung, reminding one of "when in spring a young man's fancy turns." Betty Timmer rendered a truly great humor paper on "Spring Activities in Van Vleck and Voorhees." Just because there is a war, it was decided that a f t e r all, nothing was lacking in that line. Ann Fikse commented on this in her critic's report, saying that after all, Leap Year didn't have anything on 1945.

Page Four Candidates Continued from Page 1 the Thesaurian Society to be a candidate for the presidency of Student Council, is a true Hope coed. The many activities which make her eligible for the position of presidency are many. While at the Chicago University, she was an active member of the freshmen class and a holder of offices in several clubs. Upon her arrival at Hope's campus she has made herself equally well known as a good and cooperative worker. She is vice president of Scalpel Club, vice president of the Thesaurian Sorority, a member of the PanHellenic Board, p r e s i d e n t of A.D.D., and also business manager of A.D.D. Lucille is a capable worker and has showed that she can hold responsible positions.

Let's start a campaign for bigger and better HOPE reunions in the future.

Exams, Term Papers Wind Up Year frolic, friendships — which really never end — work, worry over exams and term-papers, and all the other integral parts of college EXPERIENCE. We quizzed around to see what some of the gang are going to miss most when they leave HOPE. Some gave nostalgic answers, some gave facetious ones, some didn't know because they haven't I'eft yet, and some preferred not to give out at all. But here is the general idea at least.

Two peopl? told me that they would miss the FOUR MILE most of all, but if you ask me, and who is? there are all too many of us who miss it without ever having to leave Hope!!!

Milly Scholten said (with tongue in cheek, I think), that she is going to miss her first hour, daily trek after rolls for the Kletz. You know how some people are though . . . live to eat.

Connie Crawford will miss all her class discussions, and the dimly lighted library. She seems t« get a heck of a lot of work done for not being able to see anything!

Jane Smies De Witt is going to miss just having to sit and dream of Bill, but she is not griping, are you Janie?
