There is no reason why the Anchorline and Opus cannot coexist on our campus, for there should be enough talent to go around. We expect and hope that both Miss Pickens' class and their project will continue next year.

At this point midway between two elections, those of the Student Council, which have just passed, and those of the nation, which are yet to come, it seems advantageous to make a brief comment on the honorableness of holding an elective office.

Now that the hustle and bustle is over sane minds can again return to normalcy. A cherished custom can be again put back in the corner of some dark shelf. And we who have either participated in the elections or have merely watched breathless f r o m some untrodden clod of earth can catch our breath.

It might even be possible to evaluate what has just past.

Men and women have striven f o r the privilege of being chosen for an office. They have asked to be elected so that they might put forth a program, or if they had none on the strength of their personality. Those who have reached the mark have touched the heights, and those who have not have returned to the valleys. But no one has really lost.

The elected can not triumph and the unelected should not sulk, for the one who holds office is merely the leader of equals. There is no honor in being chosen, only the opportunity of acquiring it. We should be able to say with Boethius that "honour comes not to virtue from holding office, but comes to office from virtues there practiced."

All can practice virtue within or without office; the f u t u r e decides who gets the laurals.

Very truly yours David G. Cassie

From the

EDITOR'S DESK "Hats Off" For May Day From a purely personal standpoint, I should like to congratulate all who helped in the planning and execution of the May Day events this year. From s t a r t to finish, the day showed the results of careful planning and skillful management.

Particularly, Glennyce Kleis deserves mention f o r a noteworthy job as general chairman. Her committees, too numerous to enumerate here, were apparently well-chosen and well supplied with ideas, f o r the results were most successful.

It is a credit to the student body and to the faculty that the banquet and p a r t y were so well-supported, as all too often they are not. This should prove once and f o r all t h a t quality of planning and quantity of publicity will produce the desired results in events such as these. Let us hope that this marks the beginning of a trend.

Hope College — Holland, M i c h i g a n

The Spice of Life It was a b o u t noon and e v e r y t h i n g w a s still w e t f r o m last n i g h t ' s rain. Mrs. B a r k e r kneeled in t h e mud and jabbed a t the weeds in t h e g a r d e n with an old kitchen f o r k . A n o t h e r s u m m e r , she t h o u g h t , with its p r e t t y flowers — and its g r i m e and d i r t . She stood u p and wiped off the knees of her d u n g a r e e s , then she called into t h e house, " E l s y , w h a t a r e you d o i n g ? Don't touch Mr. C l a r e n s pail of w a t e r or he'll be mad a t you." She knew he would have laughed a t her. They could have hired someone else to p a p e r the dining room, someone who acted less impulsively and was not so e m p h a t i c in e v e r y t h i n g he did, but Mr. Clarens was t h e best one and t h a t was w h a t t h e y w a n t e d .

•v

She walked t o w a r d s the house to check up on Elsy. How m a n y times, she wondered, would she be doing this d u r i n g the s u m m e r . Elsy would go into second g r a d e next f a l l . The t i m e couldn't come too quickly. She was on the porch steps when E l s y ' s p l a y m a t e came r u n n i n g around the side of the h o u s e yelling, " E l s y , Elsy, Elsy, E l s y , " It s t a r t l e d her.

She f e l t her h e a r t beat heavy. " F o r h e a v e n ' s sake J o h n n y , " she scolded, " c a n ' t you be q u i e t e r . " She continued into the house and found E l s y s i t t i n g on t h e floor swishing h e r arm in t h e pail of w a t e r . She closed her eyes and sighed, "Oh Elsy, please d e a r e s t , go outside and leave this m e s s alone. Besides J o h n n y is calling f o r you." " I know," answered E l s y , still s w i s h i n g h e r a r m w i t h o u t looking up.

"Well don't you think you'd b e t t e r g o out and see h i m ? " said Mrs. Barker. " O h " , sighed Elsy, "he'll only w a n t to go to the q u a r r y a g a i n . " M r s . B a r k e r g r a b b e d h e r d a u g h t e r by t h e s h o u l d e r s and forced h e r to s t a n d . " T h e q u a r r y ! " she exclaimed, " I told you never to go down t h e r e — you k n o w little S k i p p y A d a m s w a s killed t h e r e last w i n t e r ! " She looked a t t h e ceiling and pleaded, " L o r d have p i t y ; w h a t is expected of a h o u s e w i f e ? " She looked back a t E l s y and said in a slow, e m p h a t i c tone, " N e v e r go down t h e r e a g a i n . " E l s y s t a r e d a t the floor and said n o t h i n g . T h e n she s t a r t e d to cry, and said between sobs," I don't like it t h e r e a n y w a y . " Mrs. B a r k e r hugged h e r d a u g h t e r and said quietly, "I know, I know, you j u s t tell J o h n n y you don't w a n t to go down t h e r e a n y m o r e , " She seldom scolded E l s y and f e l t g u i l t y when she did.

J o h n n y T r u d y waited in the b a c k y a r d , his round f a c e a l r e a d y showing a s t r o n g t a n , and his h a n d s looked a s t h o u g h he had made s u r e to g e t them d i r t y right a f t e r lunch. H e knew Mrs. B a r k e r didn't like Elsy to play in t h e q u a r r y . " I s your m o t h e r mad a t m e ? " he asked Elsy, a s she s a u n t e r e d out the screen door. " C a n ' t you play a t t h e q u a r r y ? " "I don't w a n t to. I g e t s c r a t c h e d , " she said. " D o you w a n t to play on the o t h e r side, w h e r e it's not s t e e p ?

" I t ' s no f u n , " said J o h n n y , kicking a t the mud.

E l s y looked up a t him. "My m o t h e r will be mad at me," she insisted with raised eyebrows. " S h e wouldn't mind t h e low side," he quickly responded. " O k a y , " she said, w i t h a solemn expression.

W i t h s h o r t , e a g e r steps, E l s y and h e r boy f r i e n d walked down the road to the q u a r r y , a half mile a w a y . R e t u r n i n g f r o m lunch, Mr. Clarens passed them in his s t a t i o n w a g o n . H e blew the h o r n and waved a t t h e m .

"Well well, hello Mr. B a r k e r , " C l a r e n s g r e e t e d him in his bellowing voice, " H o m e f o r lunch, h u h ?

Mr. B a r k e r pictured pieces of p l a s t e r d r o p p i n g off t h e walls. H e finished his lunch w i t h o u t conversation. F i n a l l y he wiped his m o u t h with t h e linen napkin and asked his w i f e if E l s y had been behaving. " O h she's been p r e t t y good," a n s w e r e d Mrs. B a r k e r in an indefinate tone, and t h e n asked him, " H a r r y , did you k n o w t h a t E l s y and J o h n n y had been a t t h e q u a r r y l a t e l y ? " " N o ! " he a n s w e r e d with a scowl, " H o w would I k n o w ? M a r y I told you I don't like her n e a r t h a t q u a r r y . You told h e r not to didn't y o u ?

Mrs. B a r k e r looked at h e r h u s b a n d ' s a n g r y profile and said, " H a r r y , I know they shouldn't play t h e r e and I'll m a k e r her u n d e r s t a n d a f t e r this."

" B u t w h y , " she asked, " d i d n ' t t h i s h a p p e n b e f o r e ? " Now he w a s in a more c o n t e m p l a t i v e mood. " I t s been coming," he explained, " e v e r , since t h a t fool construction company l e f t the place last y e a r . " F i n a l l y t h e y came to the e n t r a n c e , a dirt road off at an angle f r o m t h e m a i n road. It w a s n ' t really a q u a r r y , but a hollow, the s h a p e of a horseshoe in the side of a small m o u n t a i n . One side w a s s t e e p with p r o t r u d i n g boulders half sunk in t h e mud. The o t h e r side w a s not as steep.

He p a r k e d the c a r near t h e m o u t h of the e n o r m o u s hollow and t h e y got out of t h e car to find t h e m s e l v e s alone. " T h e r e ' s t h e boulder," said Mr. B a r k e r , pointing to a boulder r e s t i n g on s h a t t e r e d stones. " I t m u s t have come f r o m the t o p , " he reflected. " W h e r e a r e t h e c h i l d r e n ? " asked Mrs. B a r k e r . Mr. B a r k e r called his d a u g h t e r ' s name and received no response. Mrs. B a r k e r j u m p e d a t the sound of a rock rolling down t h e slope. Then she picked u p a cloth belt f r o m the ground. " T h e y ' r e h e r e , " she exclaimed, " b u t why can't we see t h e m ? " She t u r n e d to h e r husband and shook his a r m , saying, a l m o s t in t e a r s , " H a r r y , H a r r y , find t h e m . " "Oh M a r y stop it," he complained, s h a k i n g h e r hand f r o m his a r m .

He wiped his brow and called f o r E l s y a g a i n . His voice cracked on a high pitch and his f a c e g r e w red. " T h a t J o h n n y T r u d y a l w a y s was a f r e s h kid," he said. " E l s y , " shouted Mrs. B a r k e r , s p o t t i n g Elsy and J o h n n y s i t t i n g on a boulder seventy f e e t up t h e s t e e p side. "Oh E l s y d a r l i n g , " she pleaded, " p l e a s e come down r i g h t a w a y . J o h n n y please b r i n g her down." " G e t down this second, both of you," ordered Mr. B a r k e r . J o h n n y took hold of E l s y ' s hand and s t a r t e d to slide down. " L e t go," said Elsy, pulling her hand a w a y , "I'll go down m y s e l f . " J o h n n y proceeded down by h i m s e l f , a r r i v i n g a t t h e b o t t o m with a cut knee. " E l s y , w h a t a r e you w a i t i n g f o r , " asked h e r m o t h e r . " I ' m s c a r e d , " she said, b a r e l y audible.

"You got up t h e r e didn't you," demanded Mr. B a r k e r , "Well you come r i g h t down."

"I c a n ' t , " said Elsy, and s t a r t e d to cry s o f t l y . H e r p a r e n t s knew by t h e tilt of her head. A p l a y f u l cocker spaniel c a m e out of the woods a t t h e top of the slope and s t a r t e d to b a r k while he r a n back and f o r t h .

It loosened a stone f r o m t h e mud. The stone fell and hit E l s y ' s knee.

She g a v e a quick but loud s c r e a m .

"Get o u t a t h e r e , " shouted Mr. B a r k e r . The dog k e p t b a r k i n g , but r a n a w a y a s if it understood. "If its not one t h i n g its a n o t h e r , " complained Mr. B a r k e r . Up to now h e had been a n n o y e d ; now he was scared. " D a d d y will go home w i t h o u t you," he w a r n e d .

"Oh H a r r y stop it," said Mrs. B a r k e r . " E l s y , d e a r e s t , please come down. We'll have ice cream if you do."

J o h n n y T r u d y ' s small voice i n t e r r u p t e d , " S h e can come, I've seen h e r . " Mr. B a r k e r g a v e him a serious s t a r e .

While t h e y continued to p e r s u a d e Elsy, Mr. C l a r e n s drove up behind t h e i r c a r in his s t a t i o n w a g o n . He walked over beside t h e m and looked up at Elsy. He had seen s i m i l a r c i r c u m s t a n c e s f r o m w o r k i n g f o r them before. The s i t u a t i o n was a little different t h i s time, but not much. " H i , " he called to E l s y , w a v i n g his hand a t h e r . " H i , " she called back s o f t l y , k e e p i n g one hand on t h e boulder, and with the o t h e r wiping h e r cut knee with a frilled h a n d k e r c h i e f .

"You look very, very silly up t h e r e , " said Clarens, with a t e a s i n g smile.

"I do not," she a n s w e r e d back.

"Oh yes you do," said Clarens, " A n d I bet I know s o m e t h i n g you don't." " W h a t ? " she asked, a s if she r e a l l y didn't care. " T h e w o r m s a r e coming out w h e r e you d u g up in t h e y a r d . " Mrs. B a r k e r t u g g e d a t h e r h u s b a n d ' s sleeve, and said in quiet excitemen, " H a r r y , look, s h e ' s s t a r t i n g to come d o w n ! " E l s y took h e r t i m e cortiing down and h e r p a r e n t s didn't d a r e h u r r y h e r . T h e y all w e r e a f r a i d to b r e a t h e while t h e y w a t c h e d — except J o h n n y . H e stood with one f o o t in f r o n t of t h e o t h e r and his h a n d s on his hips. The e x p r e s s i o n on his f a c e said, "You d i d n ' t g e t a w a y with it t h i s t i m e . " A s s h e crawled down one boulder it s t a r t e d to move, and then stopped. Mr. B a r k e r h a d s h u t his eyes a t t h e first m o v e m e n t .

The Fog The world is lonely and silent and still.

A s o f t white f o g d r i f t s lazily over a s p o n g y rain-soaked e a r t h ; Fallen leaves r u s t l e and r a s p along silent sidewalks.

Pushed by t h e cool c a r e s s i n g finger of t h e a i m l e s s b r e e z e ; And f a r off in the distance Like an ancient m o n s t e r of t h e deep, bellowing f o r his m a t e .

The f o g h o r n sends its f o r l o r n song of s a d n e s s t h r o u g h the m i s t y stillness of the n i g h t .

The s t a c a t t o drip, drip, drip of rain F a l l i n g t h r o u g h t h e blackend t r e e s Which s t r e t c h t h e i r naked a r m s toward heaven; The l o n g i n g honk of a lonely duck As he w a n d e r s a c r o s s t h e pinks t r e a k ' d sky — These a r e t h e only sounds which b r e a k t h e serene stillness of the night.

E c h o i n g a n d re-echoing t h r o u g h t h e d i s t a n t hills.

Until t h i s sound too f a d e s into the encircling v a p o r .

And e a r t h again is encompassed in cool, m i s t y , stillness.

A/le and Leigh

the G e r m a n s and I m u s t be the Americans."

Only a f e w kids, of which I was the y o u n g e s t , lived in our neighborhood. T h e r e w e r e t h e H o f f m a n boys, t h e Gallows, t h e Tonners and Leigh Wax, who w a s m y best f r i e n d . "Me and L e i g h " liked the same things, played the same g a m e s , stole t h e s a m e lumber, and ran t h e same w a y . W e were buddies. W e were b r o t h e r s . We were "Me and L e i g h . " H e lived on a small f a r m not m o r e than a hundred y a r d s behind m y house, with his g r a n d f a t h e r and g r a n d m o t h e r , Mr. and Mrs. J u s t i c e Scheffer. It was t h e p e r f e c t s e t t i n g f o r almost any kind of g a m e o u r minds could d r e a m up. T h e r e w a s a small barn with a blacksmith shop in t h e rear.

T h e r e was a p i g pen, a hay house, a duck coop and a m a z e of g r a p e a r b o r s , which, e v e r y S e p t e m b e r , were laden with h u g e purple g r a p e s t h a t we stole with t h e d a n g e r of losing our lives, f o r t h a t w a s the source of Mr. S c h e f f e r ' s wine supply f o r the nipping w i n t e r m o n t h s t h a t lay ahead.

" N o " , I said " T h a t ' s no f u n . If we're not on t h e s a m e side we can't plan t o g e t h e r . "

A l m o s t e v e r y d a y we played a d i f f e r e n t g a m e , with d i f f e r e n t characters, and places. One d a y we would be w e s t e r n g u n s l i n g e r s , the next d a y we would be a couple of d o g f a c e s in G e r m a n y or m a r i n e s in t h e Pacific, and a n o t h e r d a y we would don c a p e s and b a t h i n g suits, leap f r o m the porch roof and become the d r e a d e d f o e of every criminal — Muscleman and Muscelboy.

Since I w a s three y e a r s y o u n g e r t h a n Leigh, I was obviously t h e boy.

S o m e t i m e s , when I called f o r Leigh to come out and play with me, his g r a n d f a t h e r would fling open t h e door and look a t me as if I w e r e a complete s t r a n g e r and mumble, in his thick German accent, "Leigh a i n ' t h e r e . H e went to Hoboken on his "big wheel."

S o m e t i m e s he said " W e e h a w k e n " but I knew b e t t e r t h a n to t a k e him seriously. Leigh w a s n ' t even allowed to ride his "big w h e e l " beyond the end of t h e driveway.

But on most m o r n i n g s , when I called f o r Leigh, he'd come r u n n i n g out with his m o u t h still full of e g g and t o a s t , his s h i r t flying behind him and his g r a n d m o t h e r flying behind t h a t , hollering a t him to come back and " E s s e n ! E s s e n , or you get s i c k ! " But she r a r e l y c a u g h t him and he r a r e l y got sick.

So off we would r u n to the barn, which was a kind of s t a r t i n g place.

One day, in p a r t i c u l a r , w e decided to p l a y commandos.

We hunted up our equipment, including h o m e m a d e rifles, and sat down to plot o u r a d v e n t u r e . " W e m u s t be soldiers a t t a c k i n g a G e r m a n c a m p down a t the s w a m p , " I said, " a n d we're buddies and you m u s t be t h e lieutenant and I m u s t be a s e r g e a n t . " " N o , " said Leigh, "You m u s t be

" B u t if w e ' r e on t h e s a m e side we won't h a v e anybody to fight."

"Yeah, but we can m a k e believe, can't w e ? " I persisted.

"O.K." Leigh said.

We put on our u n i f o r m s and s t a r t e d off t h r o u g h the woods, only s t o p p i n g a l o n g the w a y to s m e a r our f a c e s with charcoal and mud f o r effect. And then off we t r e k k e d •and f o u g h t a w a y the m o r n i n g by s c a r t c h i n g ourselves in a b r i a r patch, f a l l i n g down a bank of shale and c r a w l i n g t h r o u g h t h e town dump, p a u s i n g every so o f t e n to heave a whiskey-bottle or beer-can hand g r e n a d e and s m a s h an old ice-box t a n k open so we could riddle with bullets t h e m a t t r e s s German soldier t h a t w a s inside.

We m a r c h e d home tired, d i r t y , scratched, bleeding and proud. We had lived t h r o u g h a n o t h e r battle.

It was on t h a t long m a r c h home t h a t " m e and L e i g h " decided to build a h u t , and he a s s u r e d me t h a t his g r a n d f a t h e r had more lumber in t h e b a r n t h a n he would ever use. W e climbed t h r o u g h a back window into the loft and let ourselves down, g u n s still in hands.

"You m u s t be the lookout and your name m u s t be J i m . I m u s t be J o e , " Leigh said, " W h i s t l e Yankee Doodle when the Gestapo begins to c o m e . " His g r a n d m o t h e r was the Gestapo, t h o u g h not a s f e a r e d a s t h e Storm T roopers, which were embodied in his g r a n d father.

I stood a t the door while Leigh, or Joe, noisely t h r e w the lumber out the window of t h e l o f t .

I h e a r d a door slam and peeked out to find Mrs. Scheffer w a d d l i n g across the y a r d accompanied by h e r fiercest look. I t u r n e d a r o u n d to whistle. I blew, but n o t h i n g happened. I blew again with no b e t t e r results, j u s t as Mrs. Scheffer screamed, " W h a t a r e you d o i n g ? " I heard Leigh drop t h e l u m b e r and leap out of t h e loft window. Then he dashed in the direction of m y house with me r u n n i n g a close second. " I g e t y o u ! " she yelled.

Vain is the toil of m a n ; 0 Time, c r e a t e thou me!

So Great Was My Sin I know I am going to die. N o t today or t o m o r r o w , but s o m e t i m e in t h e f u t u r e . T h a t m u s t sound s t r a n g e to you. You a r e probably thinking, " W h a t is d i f f e r e n t a b o u t you t h a t you should not die, j u s t as we all m u s t ? " But you a r e m o r t a l and have a l w a y s been, and know no b e t t e r .

in your A e s t h o - p h y s i o l o g y studies.

Then too, I have developed a power of locomotion. How can a plant move itself, you a s k ? A g a i n , please u n d e r s t a n d t h a t you h u m a n s a r e i g n o r a n t of m a n y f a c t s of science. You feel t h a t you have achieved w o n d e r s in these fields and will soon know all. But how wrong you a r e . The s e c r e t s of t h e sciences and the universe are v a s t and y o u r p r e s e n t knowledge but a minute p a r t of the whole. My locomotion is derived t h r o u g h concentration. It h a s only been d u r ing the p a s t c e n t u r y , however, t h a t I have Ijeen a w a r e of t h i s power.

And too, it is limited. I astonished my last m i s t r e s s m a n y times in the p a s t , by crossing the room d u r i n g t h e night. But she was a simple soul and a l w a y s established s a t i s f a c t o r y e x p l a n a t i o n s f o r the s t r a n g e h a p p e n i n g s . T h i s lack of concern on h e r p a r t caused me to abandon any f u r t h e r e x p e r i m e n t i n g .

At m y p r e s e n t home I had never considered doing such a thing, f o r f e a r it would d i s t r e s s m y , m i s t r e s s , for whom I, with my deepest perception, have nothing b u t love.

P e r h a p s in telling m y story I should s t a r t a t the beginning. You all know t h e story of A d a m and Eve. How God created t h e Garden of Eden, into which H e put these first h u m a n s , whom He had c r e a t e d in His I m a g e . They c o m m u n i c a t e d with all the a n i m a l s and flora in the g a r d e n and, until t h e y sinner, were i m m o r t a l . A f t e r t h e i r f a l l and expulsion f r o m t h e g a r d e n , things w e r e different. I can a t t e s t to this, f o r I w a s t h e r e .

A s time p a s s e d , the a n i m a l s one by one also sinned, and w e r e banished f r o m the g a r d e n , and t h u s became s u b j e c t to d e a t h . However, we, the flora, retained our p u r i t y and lived quite sinless. The subsequent y e a r s passed u n e v e n t f u l l y since communication a m o n g us w a s almost completely stopped, once the h u m a n s and a n i m a l s had left.

D u r i n g t h i s time, t h e world had grown evil. T h u s the Lord selected Noah and his f a m i l y a s the p u r e s t of the h u m a n s and caused a g r e a t

flood, which destroyed all life but t h a t which N o a h had t a k e n into the a r k . I w a s one of those selected to go.

P e r h a p s it is f a t e or else a necessity f o r m y continued immortality; but many times during my life, h a v e I escaped d e a t h in such a m a n n e r . T h e r e w a s m y escape f r o m Pompeii. It w a s a wicked city, w h e r e all t h e inhabita n t s indulged in sin quite openly, as if in defiance of t h e i r i n h e r e n t Moral Sense. One m o r n i n g a woman f r o m a d i s t a n t city, who had been visiting with m y m i s t r e s s , pleaded to t a k e me home with her.

So g r e a t w a s my b e a u t y t h a t a t my m i s t r e s s ' r e f u s a l , she stole me and R e t u r n e d to her home. The v e r y next d a y , Vesuvius e r u p t e d and d e s t r o y e d all life in Pompeii.

I could continue f o r hours, r e l a t i n g s i m i l a r e s c a p e s and d iscu ssin g travels, which carried m e to p r a c tically all p a r t s of t h e e a r t h .

But now it is over. I k n o w I shall die, because f o r one i n s t a n t , out of billions of y e a r s , I allowed myself to h a t e .

It w a s f o u r days ago. My mist r e s s ' son had r e t u r n e d home f r o m prison. I had never seen him before and w a s quite shocked to see how t h o r o u g h l y evil he was. My m i s t r e s s is a w o n d e r f u l w o m a n , of g r e a t u n d e r s t a n d i n g and c o m p a s sion, such a s no h u m a n I h a v e ever b e f o r e encountered. She w a s delighted to h a v e him home and held no love back f r o m him because of his p a s t . So good she is. H e l e f t the house e a r l y the next m o r n i n g w i t h o u t even a good-by and did not r e t u r n a g a i n until late t h a t night. D u r i n g the day, m y m i s t r e s s s p e n t much t i m e p r a y i n g , a s alw a y s — this t i m e t h a n k i n g God f o r h a v i n g r e t u r n e d h e r son to her.

She sprinkled me with w a t e r , chatting with m e a s if she knew t h a t I could u n d e r s t a n d her. She is such a h u m b l e w o m a n , overflowing with love f o r all h u m a n i t y and life.

Since I h a v e been with her, I have never known her to sin, in the s m a l l e s t way, and believe me, I (Con't — Anchor, p a g e 3)

Through The Keyhole F r o m all indications the May Day athletic p r o g r a m w a s well received and may be a d j u d g e d a h u g e success.

Coach Green h a s succeeded in fielding a t r a c k t e a m which is consistently able to cop first place honors in m o s t of the e v e n t s ; however it is a t e a m which is sorely at a loss w h e r e depth is concerned.
