ORCHESTRA POPULAR SUCCESS HOLLAND IS ROYALLY ENTERTAINED

Especially those of Martin, De Young, Vanderbosch, and Becker (she was in Grand Rapids). Coach Schouten led the way, with four boys in the big Packard, while Walter "Dimples" De Velder was at the helm of the "Ark," a s the old Buick sedan is affectionately dubbed by the team. Good luck, boys! And if you don't win a game or two, you'll be "playing the game," so why worry? The Basketball team left Friday on it's trip to the Middle West. It has games scheduled for every day except Sundays. The schedule is: Fri. at Kalamazoo. Sat. nt Naperville — Sautherland Co. Mon. at De Kalb—De Kalb Norma lTues. at Decorah—Luther. Wed. at Sheldon — Sheldon Jun'ors' T hurs. at Orange City. Fri. at Cudahy. Sat. a t Orange City—Independ• ^ ^ ' e n T s t The men who went were: De Pree, Martin, De Velder, Van Lente, De Young, Cook, Deephouse, Becker, and Vanderbush. They are going to travel in two of coach Schouten's cars. Thfe trip will give the team a much needed chance to practice and also an.opportunity to get better acquainted with each other so that each may know the other's weaknesses and play accordingly. None of the teams are to be very easy. The Southerland Company was expected to be one of the easiest but it is composed of exMichigan and Illinois men who will give the team a good fight. As soon a s the team enters Iowa many of the men will be acquainted with their opponents who have promised them the fights of their lives. May the best team win. The schedule was arranged by De Vilder who manages the trip. It's success is due largely to his work and plann n ' £-

NEW LEADERS CHOSEN FOR

Debaters Report Advancement

Mr. Edward Hooker, debate coach, reports considerable progress on the thought development of the question of "Shall we have the j u r y ? " Preliminary trials are now in order. The first one was held Monday, the I7th, and the second preliminary will be held the Monday a f t e r vacation is over. Final trials will take place before examinations. Plans are being made to have one or two of the prominent business men of the city, in a legal way, address the group.

CHRISTMAS ON THE CAMPUS

Christmas is coming! If you don't believe it, ask the various societies and organizations about the campus. Nearly all of them are showing their realization of the fact by blossoming out in this festal season with either "Ladies' nights" or Christmas stags. The Alethians are planning a p a r t y in their room. Delphi will have one a t the home of their former member, Sarah Lacey. S. G. A. a r e invited to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Van Danslaar for a Christmas party this evening. Cosmopolitan entertained their lady friends at a charming formal p a r t y the night of the twelfth; Knickerbocker has its ladies' night this week T h u r s day. Whether this is all a reaction from the recent twelve week e>:ams and release of student teachers, or an actual realization of the coming of the Yuletide season, is uncertain. Anyway, folks, there's only four more days in which to do your Christmas shopping! KNICK X-MAS PARTY Tomorrow night the Knickerbocker men will celebrate the Christmas season by entertaining their f a i r guests with a party. First, will be a short program of humor and musical numbers a t the Literary Club Parlors. Santa Claus will hand out presents, liberally and graciously, to the lady friends, and to those boys who deserve them. Then the Yule-tide joy-makers will adjourn to the Knick Hall to gather round the fireplace, and enjoy more music, humor and light refreshments. JUNIOR-SENIOR PARTY Among the parties scheduled for the Christmas week is the JuniorSenior Party of the F r a t e r n a l Society to be held at the " F r a t e r n a l Home," on Christmas night, Dec. 25. The lady friends of the upper class F r a t e r s will be entertained by a real Santa Claus who will drive up to the door in a life-size sleigh to deliver g i f t s to the boys and girls who have behaved themselves this year. The evening will be spent in playing games, a f t e r which light refreshments will be served.

ANCHORSTAFF ELECTION Don't forget to remember the coming Anchor staff election! The nominations for the various positions were in the paper last week. Any other nominee may be added to the list by the support of twenty subscribers. The election will occur immediately a f t e r the holidays. Let us think about this, and be sure to express our opinion by casting our votes. Remember the success of next year's Anchor depends upon this election, and t h a t is important, not only because we ourselves like to get an interesting "newsy," wide-awake paper every week, but because other schools a s well are often apt to judge our college by the type of paper we produce. o We are sorry t h a t Miss Ross has been out of school so long on account of illness. Let's hope we see her back well and strong a f t e r the holidays. We're also looking for all those students who have been taking a few days vacation ( ? ) in bed.

A1 Bentall and Don Wade wish all the success in the world to the person who so cleverly stole their books. A1 hopes you flunk the "Dramatic Course," and Don earnestly desires you take a course in "European History." They would like to report that th« person who stole their books is known, but they do not propose to lie in their endeavor to apprehend the crook. If you happen to have the books snugly hid away in your room the owners will indeed be grateful if you'll return them and no questions will be asked. However if you decide otherwise, and propose to use them when you take these two courses, your punishment shall be sufficient. Be honest with yourself . . . can any good come out of CLUB ROOMS ARE T H E SCENE stolen books? Remember there is nothing "Dramatic" about stealing OF SMART SOCIAL eight dollars ($8.00) worth of AFFAIR books, and Al and Don will finish your "History" insofar as they are EVENT IS ANNUAL concerned, if they run across you. • • • A detective play has been chosen by the drama class for presentation this year. Rumor has it that Ten Cate is to play the detective and that Gladys Huizenga and Bern De Pree are cast in the role of sister and brother. We're sure Maurice Markus will make an unsurpassable villain. The play will probably be put on before the middle of February.

Cosmopolitans Entertain With Formal Party

The Women's Literary Club rooms presented an attractive appearance last Wednesday evening as gay couples arrayed in party gown and tuxedo began to gather for the so-called "Ladies' Night" of the Cosmopolitan society. Cosmopolitans had set aside Wednesday, the twelfth of December, to entertain the f a i r guests with the annual formal party of the society. Under the management of President Kenneth Hyink and Lawrence Vregdevoogd who had secured Dr. « n d Mrs. Van Zyl to act as chaperones, the party proceeded with an atmosphere of general enjoyment pervading the entire gathering. A reception c o m m i t ^ J jp tfre persons of President Kenneth Hyink, Lawrence Vregdevoogd, Alvin Vanderbush, William Jansen, and Alfred Bentall, assisted by Misses Julia Van Dam, Verna Brouwer, Grace Koeppe and Wilhelmina Walvoord and Dorothy Blekkink, allowed nothing to remain in the minds of the guests as to their welcome. A f t e r enjoying a brief social time together the group was addressed by the President, who informed the assemblage that each of the couples could obtain a packet a t the centrally located post-office. Having thus received their programs, the numbers followed without f u r t h e r announcement. The first number on the program was given by a quartet, consisting of Messrs. Fresema, Wm. Kuiper, Jansen and Austin, who sang the number entitled, "Friend 0 ' Mine.V An encore followed this n u m b e r Abraham Autor next shared with us his glorious adventure by reading a paper he had written, which cleverly brought out the feeling of liberty he experienced in his new surroundings as compared with his old Arabian environment. A piano solo, "Serenade by Schubert," was given by Alfred Bentall and the last number was a dialogue, given by Messrs. Fresema and Austin. Encores followed both these numbers. The program was fittingly brought to a close by remarks f r o m Cosmopolitan Lawrence Vregdevoogd. Light refreshments were served by a corprf of waitresses from the High school and a f t e r again enjoying the carefree companionship t h e assemblage reluctantly disbanded a f t e r singing the Cosmos Song.

AS YOU READ this the boys are somewhere out "where the tall corn grows," playing for Dear Old Hope, If only the registration from Iowa increases next year the trip will have been a success, tho they lose every game. We girls like you Iowa boys and we want you to know it before it is too late. •

Nature Talks ON T H E SPIRIT O F N A T U R E Have you ever, my friend, sUrted for a hike on a crisp October day when the brown and yellow leaves are drifting earthward, and the sky is all a t r a n s p a r e n t blue; when the blazing red of the sumac and the golden wealth o'f the goldenrod are flaunted , in every fence porner and hedge, when the crows caw from the c6rn patches and squirrels garner their portion with wise foresight of the leaner, days to follow. I fancy that the heady exhilaration that I feel is known to all nature lovers everywhere, f o r one of the rarest attributes of nature is her universality — she is ever at hand to divert and instruct, will we but do her the courtesy to pause and contemplate. I t is not merely the poetic fancy t h a t revels in communion with the things of the out-of-doors — trees and streams and hills with all their myriad f o r m s of life; but there is f o r everyone a lasting strength and inspiration to be gained, a n evei growing wonder a t and appreciation of the wisdom and versatility of the Master Workman. One comes to realize better the immutable consistency and harmony of the vast whole;, one learns a quiet insight into causes and effects, a sure philosophy of optimism t h a t is invaluable, f o r one finds j o y — the joy of contemplating supreme a r t Perhaps some people get a breath of the fine and lasting beauty I speak of when they stand before a Raphael, or listen as a Kreisler performs * with magic touch, but there is much more t h a t one can learn — a n d feel — a s he stands on a woody slope where the air is spicy with the resinous t a n g

HONORARY DEGREES "What's in a name?" It all depends.on what the name signifies. But according to a number of students, and quite a number at that, even one of the professors who discussed it liberally in the classroom, an honorary degree is merely a name and does not stand for a title actually earned by hard . ^ ... ... . , work. Of course it signifies something entirely different than an A.B. or an M.D. It has more meaning and more honor connected with its presentation than any degree gained through scholastic attainment. Any scholar with ambition and diligence can earn an A.B., and once having earned such a degree, he is placed in a class of people who are entitled to a little more respect and a few more privileges than the aver-
