All classes have been suspended. The planned activities begin with a chapel service at 9:00 A.M. Participating in the service are Larry Ter Molen and Jim "Tiger" DeWitt, members of the championship team. Following the chapel service, all students are requested to go immediately to the athletic field or to the gym, depending on the weather. Here, Hope's three coaches will introduce their respective players. Coach Weller will introduce the ends; Coach Brewer, the line; and Coach DeVette, the backfield. Larry Ter Molen will speak as captain of the football team, and Mr. A. W. Vanderbush, Hope College's athletic director, will also speak. Also participating in the pep rally will be Hope's varsity cheerleaders who will lead tin4 spectators in a few cheers. A special novelty event has been planned and will be presented at this time. Two other events have been planned for Glory Day. A banquet will be held at 0:00 tonight for the purpose of honoring this year's team.

Religious Emphasis Week Closes With Communion Service Conducted By Dr. O'Neill In Hope Chapel by Nancy Malstrom
T h e busy week is now drawing to a close, and with it is also d e p a r t i n g a n o t h e r Religious E m p h a s i s Week. Let's take a look in retrospect.
Dr. O ' N e i
Dr. O'Neill was the speaker of R. E. Week '58 and was available for conferences every afternoon besides speaking every morning in chapel and at night for devotions in the dormitories and fraternity houses. Dr. O'Neill's services consisted of the topics, "Where Religious Faith Begins", "Rivals to the Christian Faith," "Pardon My Idealism" and "On Domesticating the Christian Faith." The religious climax of the whole week was on Thursday night when a communion service was held at the chapel. Candles, illuminated (Cont'd on page 3, Col. 5)

This Is Thanksgiving . . . Dreams and Expectations by Jane Tomlinson Some of us have forgotten what Thanksgiving is — what it means. Wre have been away from childhood and dreams so long that we have forgotten our great expectations of this day, we have neglected it. To be sure, we can give a dictionary definition of it but Thanksgiving is more than this. Thanksgiving is a delicious time of year. The house is filled with good things to eat and their aroma makes your mouth water in anticipation of" the sumptuous repast to come.
November 21, 1958
Before your eyes float visions of Huffy mashed potatoes bathed in creamy brown gravy, crisp celery, golden corn, emerald green peas, ruby-like cranberry sauce, hot rolls with butter melting into their soft centers, brown stuffing, hot mince and pumpkin pies, steamy coffee and the king of the day — the turkey — browned to a turn, dripping with juices and diffusing an aroma fit only for the gods. This is Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a happy time of year. Santa Claus comes to town on Thanksgiving Day. In the pa-
rade that precedes his entrance there are wonderful bands and beautiful floats. All the cowboy heroes of the day are there and Howdy Doody struts his stuff for all the children. Finally the great moment arrives. Children's faces glow as Santa appears with his reindeer and sleigh — mother remembers when she was a little girl and sat on Santa's knee. People a r e children again and happy, if only for the minute. This is Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a family time of (Cont'd on page 3, Col. 3)
positions from three centuries of chamber music. Opening with 18th century Haydn Quartet, Op. 8 No. 5 in F, the program will continue with Four Short Serenades by the 20th century American Composer Normand Lock wood. Closing the afternoon concert will be the 1st Quartet in E Flat of Feliz Mendelssohn, representing the 19th century. Appearing with the quartet for the first time will be violist Charles King. Mr. King replaces Carleton Kelch, former violist who has accepted a position with the New York State public schools. Mr. King comes to Holland from North Carolina and has earned his B.Mus. and Master of Music from the American Conservatory in Chicago. In addition • to being violist in the quartet Mr. King is superviser of stringed instrument instruction for the Holland public schools.
The week began with apparent enthusiasm on the part of both Freshmen and Sophomores. Tension mounted throughout Saturday as the Civic Center became the scene of frantic last minute preparation and change. Rain failed to dampen any spirits or hinder the hoisting of multiple slogans over the campus. "(52 Can Do" was adopted as the distinctive phrase of the Frosh while "(51 Stopped by None" was shouted by each Sophomore. Master of ceremonies and general chairman for the contest, Carol Luth, was assisted by Sophomore class chairmen Betty Vicha, and Grace Gilmore, Freshman class chairman. Sophomores Begin Program The contest started with the novelty "New River Train," the Sophomore song, under the direction of Senior Anne DePree. Anne was assisted by Sophomore song chairman and accompanist Adina Yonan. In a modern dance directed by Bob Fisher eleven girls represented the loves of one man which was given by Sophomore women dressed in black outfits and red scarfs. Miss Ann Herfst, Freshman lighting for three of the nine points Nykerk offers, presented her oration entitled "Yankee Doodle Dandee." She was coached by Junior, Mary Ann Klaaren.

A Look at RE Week
^
The Reverend Mr. William R. O'Neill and his wife have had an inspiring influence on our campus. We are sorry to see them go. But their contribution to our college has been rewarding, for with the help of excellent pre-planning by our Religious Emphasis Week committees, they have been able to re-vitalize us all f o r another year of Christian living. The purpose of our RE Week was not, as we all realize, to solve the problems of Christianity, but to serve as a symposium in which all of us could recapitulate our beliefs and opinions. It might be termed a "refresher course". A course which reveals to us certain aspects of our life which we have been neglecting. A course which broadens and reviews our concepts, for Christianity must grow or it will become stagnant or dead. 4 Every aspect of the O'Neills' work has been gratifying for us and f o r them. Dr. and Mrs. O'Neill have both been at our disposal f o r conferences, their personal opinions, and for various organized discussion groups. Mrs. O'Neill's easy manner and personal warmth made her particularly appreciated by the women when she conducted dormitory devotions and talked to the women individually. The late afternoon discussion groups were interesting and animated and provided opportunities for students to re-hash the morning talks and question Dr. O'Neill personally concerning statements they wished to have clarified or elaborated upon. One of the highlights of the week was the choice and vigorous "Y" Panel Discussion, The Meaning of a

Voice in the Wilderness "With the revolution falsehood came into our Russian land. The great misfortune, the root of all the evil to come, was the loss of faith in the value of personal opinion." These courageous words, now echoing around the world, have once and for all ripped open the tough shell of Soviet Marxism and exposed it for all people as the two-faced shame it is. And who is the man who wrote these words? He is Boris Leonidovich Pasternak, who at first glance is probably unlike millions of other Russians. Perhaps his thoughts are only the embodiment of the thoughts of other Russians like himself, who value intellectual freedom with intense passion, and their fatherland equally as much. But it is Boris Pasternak who has dared to put these unspoken thoughts and feelings into words within the Russian state itself, and thus he has been made a martyr by those who would own his mind but cannot. He is in chains but has shown the freedom of his soul. The rulers of the Kremlin cannot stop the waves of indignation they have unleashed by their failure to quench the personal thoughts of the Russian people. Pasternak's search for truth through the person of his fictional character, Doctor Zhivago, led him to realize this failure of the Soviet state. The forced rejection of his Nobel prize proves the t r u t h of another statement by Doctor Zhivago. "To conceal the failure, the people had to be cured, by every means of terrorism, of the habit of thinking and judging for themselves, and forced to see what didn't exist, to assert the opposite of what their eyes told them." The terrorism has gone too f a r this time. Even Stalin himself respected Pasternak too much to try to supress his writings. But now Soviet propaganda has slipped, ignoring the irony that Soviet scientists may claim their Nobel prizes. In calling them political honors now, the Kremlin has forgotten that Pasternak was nominated once before for the same literature prize. As for the Nobel prize itself, its presentation to Boris Pasternak still remains and will forever be a tribute to his intellectual integrity and honesty. Nowhere in his rejection of the honor, did Pasternak recant his beliefs nor regret the publication of them. Instead he made it quite clear that he is willing to take the consequences of his actions and remain in his homeland, come what may, even though he would be welcomed by family and the countless millions of friends he now has in the rest of the world. What does this revelation of the nature of Soviet government actions mean to us, we may say? It points up vividly the basic fact of the 'war' between East and West, that it is one of ideologies, and t h a t the Soviet world has powerful forces on its side. It is up to us to see the falsehoods in Soviet propaganda and to resolve ever more firmly t h a t we will not yield in the fight for men's minds. Yes, Boris Pasternak, we hear your voice. Lonely though it may be, we hear it clearly. And we too say with you from our hearts, "I don't like people who don't care about the truth." — C. A. R.

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor: Is Hope really a "Christian college" or is it Christian in name only? Our catalogue says one of its aims and purposes is "to provide an atmosphere, culture and education that will undergird, strengthen and support those basic Christian principles taught and practiced in the home and church, that will help the student to develop a Christian philosophy of life, and that will strengthen him in the practice of that philosophy". Are we really doing this? It seems to me that often we are doing just the opposite! Many of us have been brought up to believe that dancing, movies, and card playing are questionable. However, we find them all around us here on this "Christian campus". Are we really u n d e r g i r d i n g , strengthening and supporting those Christian principles taught and practiced in the home and church? Sorority and fraternity membership is taken for granted — practically everyone belongs! Yet, their major social functions are dances. Since I came to college there has
only been one sorority which I would have considered joining and they had to disband because they were "too conservative". Just how low must our personal standards be dropped to become a society member on this campus? "Movie going" is an everyday occurance. They are even advertised in the ANCHOR! Does this mean t h a t they are sanctioned by the college ? Undergirding, strengthening and supporting? No, I think not! In fact, the same students t h a t attend movies on Saturday nights can't go to church on Stmday because they "have to study". Where does the student's "Spiritual Food" come f r o m ? It certainly doesn't come from chapel or dorm devotions because that is their study time too! Even during mealtime devotions you can hear talking and laughing. Can't we even give a few minutes a day to God? I think it is about time we sat back and evaluated just what our aims and purposes are and how well we are trying to live up to them. —Henrietta Ket
Personal Relationship With God, led by Dr. De Haan of our psychology department, on which both Dr. and Mrs. O'Neill served. And appreciation needs to be expressed to those students and faculty members on campus who, with their preparation for this and week and fresh ideas and participation during this week, have made Religious Emphasis Week so effective. The effectiveness of RE Week is in the mental and spiritual stimulation it provides for all of us. And this year, as every year, the Eternal Truths revealed a new facet each time they were picked up and examined. The sacrement of Holy Communion Thursday evening tended to re-emphasize these Truths. And as it did this the beauty of the simple words on our program cover were again felt; the theme of this year's Religious Emphasis Week, "This I Believe". niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiij

by James Mjdinutrhuixen • ^ f h e Hope College Orchestra Con> cert^fff last weeK Thursday "was "tfne of the most difficult programs it has ever attempted; it is certainly not too much to say that it was also one of the orchestra's finest performances to date. Only four compositions were listed on the program, but one of these was a contemporary work lasting approximately fifty minutes, and not one of these works allowed any comparative relaxation on the performers' part; the demands made upon the technical and concentrative abilities of the members of orchestra were really very great. It is only seldom that one hears, or even expects to hear, any pasages of real beauty from a college orchestra. That there were such moments in Thursday's performance is a credit to Dr. Rider and to the members of the orchestra. That is not to say that Thursday's was a flawless performance—flawless performances from a college orchestra require that the conductor be as well versed in the black arts as the musical—but it did establish the fact that it is possible for a college orchestra to play in reasonably good intonation from the first downbeat to the end of the concert. At the end of last season, t h a t still remained to be proven; as a matter of fact, there have been concerts at which it seemed that every one of the personnel was intent on anything but good intonation. Your writer's only hope is that having given one excellent accounting of themselves, they will proceed to stay within hailing distance of the standard they have set. It shouldn't be too hard. I don't like Howard Hanson's "Romantic" symphony. It is .always either moody or pompous; but that is another story . . .

Ninos Cantores In Retrospect by James Michmerhuizen It seems to me that there were several annoying discrepancies between the local advance publicity for the Ninos Cantores, and the sound of the actual performance, now almost two weeks past. We were given to believe almost that the Vienna Choir Boys were on the point of dissolving in the face of such a humiliation as having to live on the same planet with the Ninos Cantores; that with a performance of the Mozart Requiem, someone—a critic, I think, or maybe it was Mr. Berber himself—said that they had really and truly arrived. I have no wish to be identified with that school of amateur music criticism whose highest achievement is nothing more than a cannibalistic and not very skillful dismemberment of every performance upon which its myopic eye happens to light. But when publicity worthy of a choir of archangels culminates in a performance like a confused cross between a demonstration of high-fidelity supertweeters and an all-out Indian war dance—then I must raise my meek and mild voice in protest. At least a program like t h a t is interesting, if not enjoyable. I had never seen a Mexican War Dance before.

Christmas Vespers To Usher in Hope Yuletide Season The Yuletide season a t Hope College will again be ushered in by Christmas Vespers, to be held December 7, at 4:00 P.M. in the Chapel. Basically musical in nature, the service will be led by the Chancel Choir, directed by Prof. Rietberg; a Girls' Choir, directed by Mr. Kooiker; and woodwind, string, and brass ensembles. A special contribution will be the "Ceremony of Carols," by Britten, states Miss Holleman, chairman of the program. The first vesper service of this type was held December 8, 1941, a f t e r the bombing of Pearl Harbor. It became an annual affair, and in recent years the Christmas Vesper program has begun the celebration festivities of Christmas f o r the college.

The blessing is asked, the toast is drunk — the young ones finding cheer in their tomato juice. The appetites find satisfaction in unburdening the groaning table. Conversation hums and bubbles. Brother teases brother and sister outdoes them both. The little children soon lose interest in the food and grown-up talk and run off to their play. The women talk of their families, clothes and other women. The men discuss politics, sports and their wives. Everyone is warm and happy. This is Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a holy time of year. Some people go to church. But even those who don't, feel deep down inside as if they owe to someone, somewhere, special thanks for what they are and what they have. There is a prayer within them, and if you could examine their lives on Thanksgiving Day, you would see them living t h a t prayer of thanks to their God. This is Thanksgiving.

For the past two months, each Monday afternoon from 4 until 5 o'clock, the majestic tones of Handel's Messiah Chorus have been heard resounding through the chapel. Members of both the chapel and chancel choirs make up the group of nearly two hundred students who are preparing f o r the twenty-ninth consecutive Messiah recital to be given Tue., Dec. 16. Accompaniment f o r the chorus will be provided by a fifty piece orchestra under the direction of Dr. Morette Rider. The chorus itself is led by Dr. Robert Cavanaugh. Dr. Cavanaugh has expressed the opinion that, judging f r o m the progress already made, this year's performance should be very successful.

with
runners.
A Look at This Year's Runners Carroll (Tex) Bennick, the only senior member on the squad, was one of the most consistent runners all year. He hails from Coopersville, Michigan and is a four year cross-country letterman. He was captain of this year's team. His best time f o r the four mile jaunt was 21 minutes and 54 seconds against Olivet at the American Legion Course in Holland. Roland Schut proved himself to be a runner deluxe as he finished first 3 times for the Dutch this year as compared to one win for Bennick. Two meets ended in a dead heat between these two Hope men. He is a junior and comes from Hudsonville, Michigan. His best time f o r the season was just one second slower than Bennick's. Allan Teusink, a freshman from Holland, usually placed third for Hope, and showed good potential. A1 runs the four mile course in approximately 23 minutes. Karl De Jonge, a junior t r a n s f e r
from Orange City, Iowa was Hope's fourth man across the finish line during most of the season. Bob Hoogendorn, freshman from Kalamazoo, and Jerry Wondra, sophomore from Lodi, New Jersey, ran about evenly most of the season and finished either fifth or sixth man for Hope. Dave Needham, freshman from Oak Tree, New Jersey, and Harve Feenstra, freshman from Zeeland, also ran in Hope's dual meets and were either seventh or eighth place finishers for Hope. Dave Needham finished the season strong however and was Hope's fourth man in the All M.I.A.A. Meet. Jeff Shimp and Fred Overkamp ran in some meets and worked out all season with the team, but were ineligible to compete in M.I.A.A. competition. John Needham, a former runner, was manager of the squad this year, which was coached by Mr. A1 Vanderbush.
by Warren "This year's Hope College basketball team has tremendous potential, in fact the greatest in Hope's history, but whether or not this potential will be reached is something that only time will tell." Such was the opinion of coach Russ De Vette as Hope's varsity cagers began working out in CarnegieSchouten Gym, to prepare for their December 1 opener with the strong Valparaiso Club. De Vette went on to remark that each player, especially those who have been around for a season or two, will have to strive f o r selfimprovement in all phases of the game this year. If this is not accomplished, then as a team Hope will actually be worse than last year's team. "To beat Hope would make any opponent's season a successful one" has long been one of De Vette's favorite comments in warning his squad of the pitfalls that a season's schedule presents. Even though such established veterans as Paul Benes, Warren Vander Hill, Ray Ritsema, " J u n " Buursma, "Whitey" B e e r n i n k , Wayne Vriesman, and Daryl Siedentop are returning, it is no surprise that De Vette fears "seniorities" for all of these men who are experienced holdovers from either one or two MIAA Championship squads. It is, however, up to these seven and perhaps one or two other reserves to make the Dutch a better ball club than they were last season, for De Vette feels they must be, in order to be successful. Hope's offensive pattern this year will once again be a three out, two in, double post arrangement although the outcourt men will not utilize an outside weave pattern to the extent that this style was used a year ago.

Following a disputed decision of a previously played game, it was decided that the "playoff" game between the Fraters and Knicks be replayed. Thus i f was that last Wednesday the two teams met to decide the championship. The Knicks won the game in the last play when Jim Kaat made a spectacular catch in the end zone. The win gave the Knicks sole possession of the title while a Frater win would have meant a three-way tie between the Cosmos, Fraters, and Knicks. The Fraters drew first blood in the game when they tagged the Knicks in their own end zone to score a safety. The rest of the first half went by with each team displaying good defenses and thus holding each other scoreless. The Fraters scored again in the second half when Ray Ritsema caught a pass in the end zone thus making the score 8-0. With only minutes to play the Knicks caught fire and scored a quick touchdown on a pass from Fischer to Kaat. The Fraters received the kickoff and failed to move against the stubborn Knick defense. With onlyseconds remaining, they elected to punt in an effort to run out the clock. Ritsema's kick sailed straight up and landed in the Frater end zone, giving the Knicks a safety at 8-8 with no time left on the clock. To break the tie each team was to run four plays from mid-field and the team which gained the most yardage was to be declared the winner. This set the stage f o r the "Cinderella" climax as Kaat caught the fourth down pass to squelch the Fraters who had failed to score on their four tries.

Moving up to the varsity from last season's frosh aggregation are Bill Vander Bilt, Don Boyink, Norm Schut, Bob Hilbelink, Dan Ritsema and Rich Bakker.
Best Grid Season . .. (Cont'd from page 1) control thoughout the ball game. The Dutch took command immediately, as Jerry Herp returned the opening kickoff to the 24 yard line. Ron Bekius followed by ripping off 13 yards over center. Just six plays later, Pete Watt scooted down the sidelines on a double reverse, gaining 25 yards and the initial touchdown. The reverse was the same play on which he rambled 42 yards to score against Hillsdale. Bill Huibregtse converted to give the Dutch an early 7-0 lead. Beloit then took the ensuing kickoff and, aided by some fine aerial plays, drove down to the Hope 11 yard line. Here Hope's line tightened and stopped the Beloit drive. After a 5 yard penalty, the Dutch began moving. It took five plays to get to the Hope fourty-two where Watt again let go on a wide reverse and ran to the Beloit 23, but the Dutch were called for holding, moving the ball back to the Dutch 25. Several plays later, the drive was stopped by a pass interception in the end zone. On Beloit's first play, Jared Dornburg fumbled and Bill Huibregtse recovered on the Beloit 21. On the first play Duane Voskuil did some fancy running, dashing through the entire Beloit squad for Hope's second score. Huibregtse's kick was wide and the half ended 13-0. Both teams displayed stubborn defenses in the third quarter, holding each other scoreless. In the fourth quarter the scoring tempo increased as Bekius smashed six yards off tackle for Hopes third tally. It climaxed a six play, 39 yard drive which started with a punt return. Huibregtse's kick was good. Then the Bucs struck: two plays after the kickoff with the ball on the Beloit 27, Kirtley twisted loose through tackle and was off on a 73 yard gallop. This was the longest run of the season by a Beloit back this year and was more rushing yardage than the Bucks had made in SV2 previous quarters. Hope took the following kickoff and scored on just 12 plays. Freshman Sharky Vander Woude and Bekius did most of the ball-toting while Faber threw a 14 yard pass to end Rowland Van Es. Bekius leaped over center on a fourth down situation for the final yard and his second touchdown of the game. The two six-pointers gave Bekius 14 touchdowns and a total of 85 points f o r the year, setting an alltime scoring record f o r Hope backs. The 85 point total also put him in second place in the Michigan scoring race. He picked up 167 yards in 22 carries and now has rushed f o r more than 600 yards in the nine games this season . Hope's defensive unit again shone. Ter Molen led this group along with Huibregtse, Paarlberg, Miller, Peelen, Blough, and Coulson in the line and Mack, Mohr, Faber and Bekius in the secondary. Free substitution was permitted in the game through agreement by the coaches.
Three Named to All-Conference Grid Teams Larry Ter Molen, Don Paarlberg and Ron Bekius, Hope seniors, were named to the 1958 AllM.I.A.A. football team selected by the league's coaches. Ter Molen, Hope's captain was a unanimous choice for the second straight year at the tackle position. He was also named as the most valuable football player on the 1958 Hope squad following a vote by members of the team on the return trip a f t e r last Saturday's win over Beloit. This selection puts Ter Molen in the running for the Randall C. Bosch trophy, awarded each year to the most valuable player in the M.I.A.A. Each M.I.A.A. school selects a most valuable player, and at tonight's banquet the Hope team members will vote on the seven choices. Don Paarlberg has been a regular guard for the past two years and was selected at that position on this years M.I.A.A. varsity squad. He is a rugged competitor and hails from South Holland, Illinois.

Albion selections were: End Tom Taylor, a senior and unanimous choice for the third straight year; Guard Lanny Leak and Don Van Gilder, Halfback.
