SENIORS AT C0UNTRYCLUB Rrdured Class Of JunlorH Feast At Jenison Park Inn According to the regular custom, Hope classes held their parties ailffr Friday's pull. Junior revelers, out In goodly number, made merry by feasting and play Friday evening at a class party, held at Jenlson Park. I t was the customary affair, taking place annually on the evening following the FreshmanSophomore "Pull," and coming as it did at the end of a one-wtvk taste of real college work. It had the air of being a happy reaction and a tdmpdrary solace t o ( work-beset students. Remnants of excitement were kept over from the "Pull" and the spirits of all present rose as the dcHclous meal progressed. Music furnished part of the program. The rendition of a reading by Miss Ethel Heneveidt. a member of the Sophomore class of last year, met with the keen appreciation of all. Following the supper the time passed quickly In the playing of games and it was the general opinion t h a t the evening was well-spent. Supplying In pep and class unity what they have lost In numbers, the Juniors were able to make this party c succcss. Those left to carry on do so together and with spirit. The Sophomore class celebrated it's pull victory In royal fashion at the T,nlcfgid*> I n r . A fine dinner was served by the committee headed by Lois De Wolfe, and assisted by Evelyn Eteketee, Lois Brouwer, Edith Damson, Warren De Free and Herbert Jensen. Kasten's Melody Men provided a fine brand of music throughout the evening. The boys covered themselves V/ith glory by their remarkable achievement of the afternoon In the face ot heavy odds, were congratulated on all sides. Maurice Marcus, President of the class, presided at the entertainment that followed. Miss Barkema of tbe faculty proved to be most a gracious chaperon, and all agreed t h a t the class of 1030 had again enjoyed itself to the utmost. Last Friday evening, at Macatawa Hotel—the class of 1931 held Its first class party. From the start a wonderful closs spirit predominated—going far to contribute to the life of the party and the development of an "esprit de corps." The party was started with a bang —when George Damon, one of Hope's popular alumni led a number of songs and cheers. After a sumptuous banquet prpeared by Mrs. Hub Boone of the Ladles' Aid of the Thrld church, an Impromptu entertainment was given, A style show, presided over by Vice president Wlnegarden, Included some rather alarming prognostications as to the future dress among mankind.

One hundred and thirty present—! Great work "Frosh". The "dignified" Hope Seniors held a delightfully informal party at the Holland Country club Friday evening to celebrate the victory of t h e class they sponsored. The fact t h a t the members of the class of *28 are by this time so well acquainted tfhd t h a t this was probably one of their last parties together made the evening's festivities even more successful than thoee of former years.

SOPHS COOL FROSH BY WINNING ANNUAL PULL AT BLACK RIVER OLDER CLASS T I G S HEAVY MEN THRU WATER IN GREAT VICTORY "Heavef All together, heave! Here they come. The first man Is in the water!" Such were the shouts heard on the Soph's side a t the annual Soph-Frosh tug-of-war staged on Black River a t Waverley Yards. Friday afterrioon. Sept. 30, 1027, Weather conditions were Ideal. For the first time in six days, the clouds disappeared enough to let the sun shine through. The heavy rains had caused the river to rlae above Ha normal depth, and In doing so nad stirred u p the mud so t h a t the water was aa thick as pea soup. The air was cold and invigorating after tbr rainy equinoctial season. Just right for putting more pep and nthuslasm Into an already excited crowd. At three o'clocic college students and townpeople began to collect about the ancient war scene. As this event is always watched with keen Interest by the entire city, it drxws an unusually large crowd. The spectators. this year, did not number as many as In previous fights, but were more peppy. The air seemed saturated with excitement. About threethirty students from the hlgh-8. hool and lower grades swarmed m aJter classes which were excused early. The Frosh were all assembled cn the south side of the river, yelling and flaunting their new banner In the faces of the Sophs. But M e r e was the Soph's banner? Didn't they have a banner? What's the matter? As these question? ran through the crowd, everyone looked Inquiringly at the Soph's side. Suddenly u p shot their red and gray banner accompanied by lusty ahouts. The eyes of the Frosh nearly popped out. Where did they get that banner? The Frosh well knew the cause of the delay, for In the morning some of their smart bunch went to Brink's Book Store to
I t was the common talk previous to the fight, t h a t the Sophs didn't have a chance. Soi^e were willing to wager t h a t the heavy Freshmen team would pull the light Sophs out of their holes at the first heave, but there wasn't a time when the Sophs didn't have the situation well in hand. Although the Sophs were grttlng the worst end in the campus fights, nevertheless, they are now the undisputed conquerors of the year. We all hope t h a t the sting of this defeat will be a lesson to all overconfident Frosh.

get their banner. While there they also managed by hook or crook, to get their hands on the new Soph banner, which had not yet been colled for. This p u t the Sophs In a bad way. but they were not to be outdone. A few stepped In a big car and sped to St. Joseph where they bad one made, and returned again In time for the pull. The Frosh will have to pay for the banner which they took, bccause the Soph's don't have to pay for something they didn't receive. At four o'clock the teams were ready to go. Both sides began rooting for their teams but at the sound of the whistle by referee. Jack Schoutcn, a certain tenseness seemed to grip the crowd. For the first half-hour the Sophs did no pulling, but waited and saved their strength for th® crucial moment. As the whistle blew for both teams to stand u p to pull, Clint Cole, the Sophomore coach, gave the signal for a quick heave, thereby getting the first good pull which started the over confident Freshmen coming. It was merely a matter of time before the Frosh went through the river, and the Sophs reigned victorious. The Sophomores in their frenzy of excitement grasped the rope and dragged it thru the town holding up traffic everywhere and causing a general commotion for about a half an hour. Then it slowly died away and they disbanded to prepare for their class parties.

The faculty as well as the students Joined in the evening's festivities. A goodly number of them stood in the receiving line, with the presidents of the Y. M. and the Y. W., extending the hand of welcome t o the old and new students alike. The interest which the instructors* show adds much to the success of an all-college function of this kind. After everyone had had a chance to meet everyone else. Bob Ritchie, the president of the Y. M., opened the program with a short prayer, followed by a few words of wclcome, and a message from the Association Union. Stanley De Free then favored us with a vocal solo. This was bucceeded by a word from the Y. W. president. Helen Zander. The rest cf the program consisted of a reading by Oscar Holkeboer, a saxaphone solo by Elmer Den Herder, a piano solo by Marjory Du Mez, and lastly a short talk from Professor Hager. After singing "In t h a t dear old town of Holland .Michigan," in the real Hope way. Bob announced that part of the program with which he had been tantalizing us for some minutes past. All were perfectly willing to ascend the platform to receive their share of the good things provided. A few cheers closed the evening and all went home to slumber, assured of the fact t h a t it had been well worthwhile. For the new acquaintances were many and the pleasure one not to be soon forgotten.

Above the m u r m u r of voices, could be heard a few of the favorite phrases, "hello," or "good evening," (both with about an equal following according to the best statistics available) "Glad to see you bock" and What, did you do this summer?"

However. among the girls, the same s t a t istics show t h a t the palm of popularity needs m u s t go to "Have you met my little sister?" for all the upper classwomen and some sophomores as well were acting as big sisters to all the new girls upon the campus .

Much curiosity and no little admiration has been expressed i n regard to the artistic cuts found at the heading of the Anchor's various departments. They are the contribution of Mr. Abe Pott of the clas* of '27, who is doing post-graduate work prior to his entrance a t Rush Medical school later in the year. An operation for appendicitis prohibited his entrance this fall. Mr. P o t t has shown both original and technical ability in the figures which adorn the alumni column, t h e athletic department campus news, the editorial page, and humor. Such painstaking effort on the part of one of our alumni certainly merits our sincere appreciation. Best o' Luck, Abel o — The Rev. Willis O.
