Foreword The year 1917-1918 has been a very unusual year in the history of Hope College. While as many as possible of the regular college activities were carried on, the spirit which animated them all could not but be different f r o m what it was in time of peace, when no disturbing element entered to distract our interest and divert our efforts. W e are passing thru a world crisis, and how could we be unmoved when the deep significance of it was brot home to us continually by the departure of fellow-students and classmates, who left us to cast their lot with the champions of liberty and justice? The departure of these students has left great gaps in the ranks here at college, which those remaining have only partially succeeded in closing up. In spite of these broken ranks, however, the work of the college has progressed and we are nearing the completion of another successful year. In consideration of these facts it would indeed be lamentable were we to leave this year without a record and remembrance of what we have done,â&#x20AC;&#x201D;of our work and our pleasures, our successes and our failures, our hopes and our achievements. It was for this reason, as well as to help make permanent the good precedent set by the two preceding classes, that the Class of 1 9 1 9 has issued this M I L E S T O N E . The publishing of an annual this year was attended with peculiar difficulties, owing to the financial strain caused by the war, and the small number of the class that had to shoulder the undertaking. A f t e r a careful investigation, however, it appeared that these difficulties could be overcome, as indeed they were by the efficiency of our business department, and the willing aid of other classmen. The task was therefore begun and the realization of our plans is embodied in the edition now in your hands. The M I L E S T O N E of 1 9 1 8 represents the best efforts of all the members of the staff and those who assisted them. W e sincerely hope that you will find in it not only a trustworthy account of the events of the year, but also a reflection of the Spirit of Hope, which lives among us and determines all our actions. W e wish here to express our appreciation of the work of all the persons who contributed towards the degree of success which this book has attained. The work of Professor A. R a a p and " B u d " D e W o l f , '21, f o r the art department deserves special credit. All others of the auxiliary staff likewise did good service.

T h e Glass of Eighteen W i t h the last Spring-time of our college life, and our Senioral dignity weighing heavily upon us to remind us that the time to muse, imagine, and recall has come, we enjoy looking back upon our perilous journey through these halls of learning. W e look back f r o m things ended, to the beginning of our amazing career, and smile indulgently at the irresponsibility and the care-free days of our F r e s h m a n year. This page can not contain an adequate record of our deeds of valor and our intellectual triumphs. W e can only mention our phenomenal work in the classroom. It was in our work, too, that we first became acquainted, scattering f r o m Science to Latin and being gathered together again into the ever-hospitable English class room. And, once acquainted, we were always ready to leave the Campus and board the first car or the only boat, by couples and corporations, to spend a gay evening around a beach fire. All of our parties have been social successes, and meant wonderful times to every one of us, whether the "Ustick" or the skating floor furnished the setting. W e have become good comrades as well as classmates. But the glories we have earned in every line of college activity, the honors we have won that give us reason to be proud, are the things that should make up the written history of the Class of 1918. In athletics we have been most successful, f r o m the glorious day when the Sophomores waded across the river, until now,â&#x20AC;&#x201D;even if we crossed the same river the next year, and came short of winning all the football honors. W e excelled in basketball, always having a fast class team, and having several representatives helping to defend Hope s honor on the varsity teams. O u r record in debating and oratory is unrivaled. W e have been represented in inter-collegiate debates since our F r e s h m a n year, and our orators have entered and won out in the Raven, Peace, and Prohibition contests. And this year, the crowning year of Hope's oratorical successes, has brought a climax to all the past achievement, for it was our class that produced the two winning orators in the M. O. L. contest. W o r d s fail to express the pride that we have in them. Time and history have changed our class f r o m what it might have been. O u r number has greatly decreased, b r o m the time of the first call of our Country, men of 1918 have heard it and responded, and today our class has a score of' loyal soldiers in the service, who are continually in our thots as Commencement days approach. There are many wonderful college experiences to relate, but if there is one thing that we feel, and want everyone to know that we feel, it is the Hope spirit which has grown up within us. W e are glad that we know what it means to be sons and daughters of Hope.

It was an e v e n t f u l day f o r H o p e College,—that seventeenth day of September, nineteen h u n d r e d and fifteen. D u r i n g that whole a u t u m n a l m o r n i n g one might have seen F r e s h m e n , in n u m b e r f o u r - s c o r e and f o u r , f r o m f a r m , village, and city, m a r c h i n g bravely, yet with cowed countenances, up the b r o a d walk in f r o n t of W i n a n t s chapel and into the A d m i n istration room, there to meet the stern and scholarly presence of our Registrar. A f t e r receiving our first baptism of knowledge, we proceeded to d e m o n s t r a t e to the upper classmen that there was such a thing as a F r e s h m a n Class, and to the S o p h o m o r e s that the F r e s h m e n were f o r prohibition—"no drink f o r us." W e lived up to our slogan, and not once did we humiliate ourselves to tread the m u d d y bed of Black River. E v e n the "Invincible" classes of Eighteen and T w e n t y , must admit that they have almost invariably had to succumb to the prowess of the athletes of 1919. It is our firm conviction that we a r r i v e d upon the scene in the nick of time, f o r no sooner w e r e we here than we were called upon to f u r n i s h m o r e than our share of men to uphold the h o n o r of the O r a n g e and Blue. O n e half of the All-Class football team, two members of the V a r sity basketball team, and practically the entire Reserve team, five baseball men, two-thirds of the tennis team, and the crack long-distance and short-distance r u n n e r s of the college, were f u r n i s h e d by the F r e s h m e n . C o n t i n u i n g the record in o u r S o p h o m o r e year, we had to our credit t w o - t h i r d s of the baseball team, one-half of the t r a c k team, one-half of the basketball team, and t h r e e - f o u r t h s of the reserves, and class championship in every g a m e played on the campus. O u r greatest claim to f a m e , however, w a s "pep." If there were any lost Freshies, if the president of another class w a s tied up and brot out on the basket-ball floor d u r i n g a class game, if there were any smudges started in V a n V l e c k , if I n s t r u c t o r Tillema's p a j a m a s were missing, or a terrific explosion disturbed the midnight slumber of the town, the whole trouble was immediately laid at the door of this notorious class. But, altho athletics and "spirit" were o u r strongholds, h i s t o r y shows that we also held o u r own in every other branch of college activities,—forensic, musical, literary, and religious. A n d now, f r o m a class of eighty-four, we have decreased to a mere h a n d f u l . Altho some of our classmates were falling f r o m o u r roll t h r u mental inaptitude, connubial pitfalls, and pecuniary aspirations, o u r greatest reduction in n u m b e r s was occasioned when, upon o u r country's entrance into the war, our men w e r e filled with the "Spirit of '17." T h e championships which f o r m e r l y w e r e o u r s have gone to other classes, but the greater h o n o r is due to the class of 1919, because f o r t y per cent of the stars on H o p e ' s Service flag represents J u n i o r men. H a n d i c a p p e d by the loss of some of o u r best material, we have showed that we have a spirit that never says,—Die. By uniting our efforts we have continued to " C a r r y O n " f o r Old Hope, and as a last achievement, have produced this MILESTONE to show that we are not "all dead yet."

Reliable witnesses testify that the goddess Athena sprang full-armed from the forehead of Jove. She had no weak and impotent childhood, but at her very advent appeared with the strength and beauty and wisdom of maturity. Such was the debut of the w o n d e r f u l class of 1920 on the Campus of Hope College. 1 heirs was no credulous and verdant Freshmanhood, but f r o m the start they displayed dignity and refinement and marked talent along all lines of student activity. T o show you that this is no idle boast, we refer you to our records in scholarship, forensics, and athletics. T h e college authorities declare that this class has maintained a scholarship average higher than that of any class f o r many years. Already in the Freshman year, one of the members of this class won state honors in the Ladies' M. O. L. contest. A n o t h e r member won a place on the college debating teams. T h a t our forensic career is only just begun is attested by the fact that eight men are planning to compete in the Raven Oratorical Contest this year. A s Freshmen we contributed our full quota of men to every department of college athletics. T h i s year we placed f o u r men on the football eleven, two men on the first basketball team, and f o u r on the second. The Sophomores appearing f o r baseball practice f a r outnumber the other classmen. A t a time when the W o r l d W a r is foremost in the minds of every one, it is not amiss to state that the Class of 1920 sent the first Hopeite into the trenches in France. Several of our men are already in service and many more are awaiting the call or the opportunity to enlist. T h e time is soon coming when we must relinquish the title of Sophomores, but we shall always remain the invincible Class of 1920.

On September 19, 1917, sixty-seven new Freshmen appeared upon Hope's campus. A f t e r the first curious inspection, the opinion of the older students was unanimous that, as a class, these sixty-seven Freshmen were as green and unlikely looking a lot as ever disgraced a hall of learning. W h e n , however, the first timidity had worn off and they began to show signs of life and intelligence, faculty and students alike decided that the infant Class of '21 was as promising as any F r e s h m a n Class that they could recall, always excepting, of course, each one's own class. T h i s latter opinion still prevails. It required but little time f o r the members to develop interest in college activities, and soon they were enthusiastic and eager to take their part. It pleased the Fates that they should lose their first collegiate contest, the t u g - o f - w a r across Black River, but their spirit was undaunted. T h e y showed themselves good fighters and game losers. A f t e r their baptism in these dark and frigid waters, the Freshmen realized that they were really a part of Hope and set to work to make themselves good Hopeites. In all their activities they have displayed a loyalty to class and school that is bound to carry them to success in whatever they undertake. Their reputation as fighters has been maintained, but they have not always been game losers, because once in a while they come out ahead and show that they can also be generous victors. It is still too early to predict much in regard to the f u t u r e of the Class of '21, but we trust that they will continue as they have begun, and will be a credit to Hope.

It serves to prevent possible misunderstanding between the administration and the student body, and promotes harmony in working to the best interests of the college. It regulates student activities and enforces the laws and customs of the school. It finances debating and oratory. O u r honor system, of which we are justly proud, was established by the Student Council. In spite of all these facts, however, we cannot but believe that the Council has a larger f u t u r e before it. when, instead ol being one of many boards governing student activities, it will be the central government in which will be brot together all student interests.

The year 1918 marks the twenty-eighth year of Cosmos" existence. Since its organization in 1890 the Cosmopolitan Society has steadily advanced through careful adherence to her motto, "Friendship, T r u t h , and Progress." M a n y of her cherished sons are now in Uncle Sam's service, but thru hearty co-operation we have maintained our high standards as in former years. As Citizens of the World the members endeavor to come in contact with every sphere of human activity. Their aim is to develop socially, to broaden intellectually, and to attain moral and spiritual progress. With every member an all-around college man, Cosmos faces the f u t u r e with confidence and enthusiasm.

Another year has been written in the history of the Knickerbocker Society. It has been an eventful year and one of marked advancement along all of the sides of the Knickerbocker Triangleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Social, Moral and Intellectual. The old spirit of fellowship has permeated every meeting and inspired the members to make every meeting the best possible. Each program has been enriched by scientific, forensic, literary, and humorous numbers, and a quartette, a stringed orchestra, and two fine pianists have furnished excellent musical numbers. The outstanding "big events" of the year have been the purchase of a Liberty Bond and the dedication of a service flag honored with twenty-five stars. Father Knickerbocker is well pleased to know that, despite the difficulties and discouragements of war conditions, his f a i t h f u l followers are able not only to hold their own, but to advance the standards of Knickerbockerism into new fields of service.

H o p e College Science Club I lie Hope Science Club during the few years of its existence has proved itself to be one of the most practical organizations on the campus. The membership is necessarily limited to the advanced science students and the heads of the science departments of the college. \ ery much enjoyment, as well as practical know.edge, is derived from the bi-week'y meetings held during the school year. A greater interest in science and the furtherance of scientific research is the aim of the orpanization. From time to time reports of such research work are read before the members. Frequent y, also, prominent scientific men of the community address us on subjects of common interest. ()ur work embraces almost every phase of modern science.

T h e Ulfilas C l u b i he aim of the L Itilas Club is to increase interest in, and to improve in the use of, the Dutch language. It was founded in 1886, and during the thirty-two years of its existence has never lost sight of its real purpose. The club has always upheld the ideal of progress, expressive of the fact that there is always room for improvement and that "de maat nooit vol is.'" The society meets every Monday evening and brings the activities of the year to a climax by giving a public program in the gymnasium. Ulfilas has always been under the guidance of the head of the Department of the Dutch Language and Literature who, at present, is Professor R a a p and whose interest has done much to upbuild the society.

Despite the inroads made upon its membership by the war with Germany, the Y o u n g Men's Christian Association, Hope's most important and most influential men's organization, continues to enjoy that prosperity which can result only f r o m supreme devotion to the cause of the matchless Master of men, whose manhood its members ever seek to exemplify. The regular weekly prayer-meetings, which have been as well attended this year as in the past, bear testimony to the fact that, underlying the jovialty of the average Hope man, there is that bed-rock of serious conviction so essential to the erection of the super-structure of true success in life.

In the same proportion as the National Y. W. C. A. has risen to the new and imperative needs of American. French, and Russian women in these war times, the Hope Y. W. C. A. has striven to meet the enlarged needs of the women of Hope College. Association activities necessarily have assumed a more or less martial character and include the conducting of Eight Week Clubs during the summer months, which spread the Hope spirit to more than ninety girls in various parts of Michigan, Illinois, and Iowa; the maintenance of a regular system of correspondence connecting Hope men in khaki with their Alma Mater; and very successful compaigns for the Student Friendship Fund and Christian World Democracy. Our regular Thursday afternoon meetings have proven even more inspirational this year, not only because of increased numbers, but also because of a larger desire for a deepened spiritual life. More and more is the Hope Y. W. C. A. coming to a realization of the national mottoâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;"I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly."

T h e Student Volunteer Band M u c h has been said about the "Spirit of Hope." Exactly what this spirit is we cannot say, but we are certain that it is prevailingly missionary. Practically every missionary clime has at least one, perhaps a dozen, Hopeites working a m o n g its people. " T o know Christ and to make H i m k n o w n " to the world has been, and still is, the motto of Hope. This motto the Volunteer Band has adopted in a special way. Every Eriday evening this little Band comes together and holds an inspirational meeting, where testimony and prayer are offered. It is here that the "home fires'' are kept burning and an enthusiasm for missions is generated that will not allow the "Spirit of Hope,'"â&#x20AC;&#x201D;the spirit of " T h e W o r l d for Christ,"â&#x20AC;&#x201D;to die out. In less than a year a score of members have left us and are now engaged in missionary work of some f o r m or other. One is today upon the missionary fields of the R e f o r m e d Church in India, and her lovely Christian character is wielding its silent but potent influence a m o n g the natives there. Eurthermore, we have our representatives in the army of the United States. Time and again letters come to us telling how the Volunteer boys are holding true to their old purpose. Altho they are not engaged in foreign missionary work, they are seizing every opportunity to speak a word for the Master. While serving in the army of their country they are not forgetting that they are volunteers in the army of the Lord. They are proving themselves real "Soldiers of the Cross."' In spite of this continual drain upon our numbers, making impossible a remarkable growth in the size of the Hand, this year has seen a steady advance in many ways. Not numbers, but devotion and consecration are the things that count, and with every member possessed of an abundance of these qualities, we are confident that the work of the Master will not suffer, but will continue to press on irresistably, inevitably, until the goal is reached.

Oratory For four successive years the men representing Hope in the annual contests of the Michigan Oratorical League have received first honors. For a number of years the women of Hope have taken second place. This year, however, all previous records were surpassed, when both of our orators were awarded the

medal of victory. Before March 8, 1918, it was an unknown occurrence for a single college to usurp all honors at the M. (J. L. contests, and, altho these were the only state contests held this year, we are satisfied with the laurels we have won, and satisfied also that our leadership in the field of oratory remains unchallenged. The contests this year were held at Kalamazoo, enabling a large number of Hopeites to accompany the speakers and help to win the victories. Miss Ger-

trude Schuurman, "18, our representative in the Ladies' Contest, in her oration, "I nto the Least of 1 hese," presented in a manner at once pleasing and forceful, an appeal for the chi.dren of war-ridden Roumania, which struck a chord of universal sympathy and irresistably gripped her audience. In the evening Walter A. Scholten, also of the Class of '18, spoke on " T h e Law of Force, or the Force of Law.' With his characteristic vehemence of thot and expression, Mr. Scholten

denounced "the Potsdam g a n g " with all their diabolical doctrines, and showed that permanent peace can be secured only by enthroning l^aw thru-out the world. The phenomenal success in public speaking, which Hope has so long enjoyed, is due chiefly to two factors: the deep interest which the students take in this work, and the superior coaching of P r o f e s s o r j . I!. Nykerk. The importance of these assets cannot be estimated too highly, and, continuing to possess them, there is no reason to doubt that Hope will continue to excel in forensic art.

The six men who formed our team w6re regularly selected at inter-society debates. Walter A. Scholten, George DeWitt, and Peter J.

Music T e a c h e r s Musical instruction is given at Hope by the best teachers obtainable. Mr. ( ' s c a r L ress, the teacher in piano, is a graduate of the American Conservatory of .Music of Chicago. A f t e r his graduation he went abroad and became the pupil of the ce'ebrated Theodore Leschetizky. While in Vienna, Mr. Cress also studied harmony and counterpoint with Carl Tflege. Mr. Cress' department here has flourished greatly and many students are enjoying the advantage of his instruction. \ oice L ulture is another prominent branch of musical training under the able direction of Mr. Stanley Deacon. Mr. Deacon began his piano study at the early age of six years with Mr. Kitner Fhouns. Later he went to the illustrious Italian master, Lduardo Sacerdote, now of the Chicago Musical Conservatory, with whom he is still studying. I he fact that he is a member of the faculty of the Chicago Musical College afhliates the voice department of our school with that great institution. Hope has been very fortunate this year in having as a member of its faculty P r o f e s s o r Bruno Meinecke, who is also connected with the School of Music as instructor in violin. Professor Meinecke began his study under his father, who had been trained in Germany as a concert violinist by his g r a n d f a t h e r , a pupil of the great German artist, L u d w i g Spohr. He later studied with Henri Ern, the noted Swiss violinist. Professor Meinecke is widely known as a concert violinist and is also an orchestra director with extensive knowledge and experience.

T h e Senior Glass P l a y "GREEN STOCKINGS" Mifie is an old custom in England which requires an elder sister who is unmai ried, to wear green stockings at the wedding of a younger sister. Confronted with the horror of having to wear these tell-tale green stockings for the third time, the eldest of the F a r a d a y sisters throws a bomb into the family group by announcing her engagement to a certain Colonel Smith, who is merely a fictitious character. A letter is w r i t t e n â&#x20AC;&#x201D; h e r first love letterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;is addressed, and is accidentally delivered to a real Colonel Smith, an officer in Somaliland, Africa. Eight months later a death notice is inserted in the " T i m e s " by Celia and her confidante, A u n t Ida. While the rest of the family do their utmost to console the be leaved fiancee, the two plotters have a merry time. Since her engagement, everyone has gradually come to the realization that "poor old Celia" is not so old and unattractive a f t e r all, and many who before shunned her. now seek her company. The same day upon which the death notice appears in the paper, a Colonel Smith,â&#x20AC;&#x201D;the Smith who received the letter, comes to the F a r a d a y home under the name of Colonel Vavasour. H e says he is a friend of Colonel Smith and has come with a last message f r o m him. From "the much younger sister," Phyllis, he learns "how the lovers met" and "how they became engaged." The elder sister is strangely disturbed when she first meets the so-called Vavasour, but a f t e r lengthy discussions and numerous explanations, the hero proclaims himself the real Colonel Smith and convinces Celia that she will not have to wear another pair of green stockings a f t e r all.

The Dramatic Club The Mope College Dramatic Club, in the second year of its existence, advances its claim to permanency. The purpose of the Club is to encourage a wider interest in dramatic art and its technique, to aid in the interpretation of the drama and to develop histrionic capabilities. The work of the Club during the year was concentrated on the play " M r . Bob," by Rachel E. Baker, which was presented to the public in May, establishing a lasting fame for the Dramatic Club.

H o p e College L e c t u r e C o u r s e J u s t a score of years ago there was conceived in the fertile brain of our P r o f e s s o r of English a plan whereby he might raise Hope's department of English f r o m the position of obscurity which it had hitherto enjoyed, and give it a place of prominence among the contemporary English departments of other state colleges. This plan matured and took the f o r m of the Hope College Lecture Course, an organization which has since proved a source of great profit and prestige to the college. The organization was effected in 1898 and the success which it has achieved may be ascril>ed chiefly to the efforts of P r o f e s s o r Nykerk, who has given all his time and services in this work gratuitously, all the profits accruing being turned over to the use of the college. The original purpose of the course has been accomplished, in that over three thousand books have been added to the college library, giving Hope the best working English library of any denominational college in the state. W i t h the remaining proceeds of the course two concert grand pianos have been purchased, the stage of Carnegie Hall has been improved, and a stereopticon and a reflectoscope have been purchased foi the use of the department of science. In 1911, the management of the lecture course, with the assistance of the college Y. M. and Y. W . C. A., conceived the idea of starting a f u n d for the erection of a city Y. M. C. A. building. The money was placed in the First State Bank and has by this time increased to $538. As a means of instruction and entertainment, the lecture course has long since grown to be considered as an important factor in the college. Many of the country's greatest orators have spoken here, a m o n g whom appear such names as William Jennings Bryan, John Temple Graves, H e n r y Watterson, Senator Cummins, Dr. Cadman, Dr. Hillis. and Mrs. Philip Snowden and M a u d Ballington Booth of England. A few of the famous readers who have appeared on Hope's platform are Madame H a r r i e t Labadie, Leland Powers, and George Riddle of Boston. T h e Ben Greet players have been seen here twiceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in 1912 in " T h e Comedy of E r r o r s , " and again this year. Many of the country's foremost artists in violin and piano, and several grand opera singers have given concerts here, and under its auspices several oratorios have been rendered by local talent, assisted by foreign artists. In spite of various difficulties, the Lecture Course this year has been a complete success, and the artists who have appeared have upheld the high standards of excellency established by their predecessors. T h e Ben Greet Players, in their presentation of Gilbert's comedy, " T h e Palace of T r u t h , " showed themselves worthy of the reputation which they have achieved. In the second number of the course, Leon Sametini, the great Dutch violinist, ably assisted by Miss Edna Kellog of Chicago and Mr. Stanley Deacon also of Chicago, appeared in a concert of great excellence, and proved his right to be classed a n i o n s the foremost virtuosos of the day. T h e remaining number of the course, Helen Stone Torgerson and Company, w H be presented in the near f u t u r e . Miss Torgerson, harpist, will be assisted by violin, cello, and flute, and by Miss Bertha Clay Cole, reader. Much of the success of the course this year has been due to the work of the business manager, Myron Boekema. '20, and to his assistant, David Heusinkveld, '20.

A m o n g the early beneficial results brot to Hope College by the w a r was the re-enthronement of Football. A f t e r two and one-half years of exile, the college council, last June, by a vote of nine to eight, restored the royal game to its rightful place on the campus. Altho it is the king of athletic sports, it cannot replace basketball at Hope until we have a coach. This was clearly demonstrated this year. W i t h but a few men who had ever donned the moleskins, H o p e tried to put a team upon the gridiron, but it was soon learned that the old football warriors of the by-gone class games were now Uncle Sam's warriors. So the achievements of the season of 1917 were in large part merely preliminary to the successes which are bound to follow in f u t u r e years. T h e class contests aroused much interest in the grand old game, the Class of 1918 finally winning the championship. W e feel assured that, ere long, Hope will rise to the exalted position she once held when the game was given f r e e course.

Basketball As the curtain rose to usher in the 1917-18 basketball season, Hope saw herself face to face with a doleful situation. F o u r men who would have defended the Orange and Blue enlisted in a bigger game, carrying before them the Red, White, and Blue. However, under the snappy coaching of "Stogie," the all-state center of a few years past, H o p e has gone "over the top" and often made "good Germans" of her opponents, i o Coach Stegenga is due the highest praise for whipping together a machine such as he did. W i t h one regular, Ramaker, to build a team around, " S t o g ' succeeded in sending one of the fastest teams in Michigan against all comers. T h e team was severely handicapped at times when practice was most needed, by being unable to use the gym on account of the fuel shortage. This embarrassment was aggravated by the unusual stress of the present day. Nevertheless, under this barrage, each player worked untiringly and went into the f r a y with the utmost determination—the fight-all-the-way spirit—the spirit that wins games. T h e season opened with a slaughter,—Calvin College being the victim. Later M. A. C. was decisively defeated at home. Again, the Kazoo Normals, one of Michigan's strongest teams, were defeated on their home floor. Also, the Holland " Y " was handily put down in their cry for City championship. T h e n came the grand wind-up,—the defeat of Kalamazoo College, the team that shared the M. I. A. A. championship with Alma and Adrian. The only m a r was the two losses at the hands of Hope's old jinx, the Grand Rapids " Y . " Teams that doubled Grand Rapids' score were beaten by Hope. An added feature was a game at A n n A r b o r with the U . of M., who have broken into the caging game. W i t h this record Hope is truly proud, and ours is a rightful claim to the intercollegiate championship of Michigan. AT H O M E

Wit'f ff.

The Stars of Our Service Flag " A n d when the bugles sounded w a r They put their books away." T h e names which you have read on the preceding pages constitute the H o p e College Roll of H o n o r . W e cannot express the pride that we, as a college feel in these men, but we do not wish to pass without paying the tribute due them f r o m their fellow-students. T h e first call for volunteers to fill the ranks of the regular army, when as yet no plan for raising our new a r m y had been formulated, was answered most readily by college men. T h e President's war message had scarcely been uttered, and the resolution of Congress had hardly been passed, when, throughout the country, students at colleges and universities,â&#x20AC;&#x201D;men with high ambitions and definite purposes in lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;men with dreams of the f u t u r e , began to lay aside their pleasant tasks, banish their fond hopes, and offer themselves to the service of Country, and H u m a n i t y , and God. A m o n g the foremost of these were men of Hope. Since then the call has continued to come f r o m every branch of the service, and the men have continued to go. W e owe it to the wise method adopted by Uncle Sam to select the men for his army, that we have any left at school; for, were the country dependent upon volunteers to defend it, Hope College would be as destitute of men as are the colleges of England and of France. While several students were selected by conscription, many more were left who were content to remain only in the full assurance that, when needed to fight, they would be called. Most of the men who have left Hope, however, have volunteered, each where he considered his services most valuable, not to Uncle Sam alone, but to his comrades in arms as well, f o r it was partly for the good they might do in the army by the example of their Christian lives that many Hopeites enlisted. Theirs was no mad rush for glory; neither did they go in eager quest of adventure. Theirs was a deliberate actionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a conscientious heeding of the clear call of duty. Fifty-eight is the number of soldiers that have gone f r o m the halls of Hope College. W e miss them sorely. W e miss their friendly companionship; we miss their capable leadership; we miss their loyal support of all our activities. But we are proud of every one of them. They have distinguished themselves and their Alma Mater. M a n y of them have already risen above the ranks, but, more than the promotions they have won, it is their steadfast adherence to the Ideals of H o p e that makes us proud of the Hopeites in khaki. Not one of them has been recreant to these ideals; not one has abandoned the course upon which he set out. All have shown that they are not only men of courage, but men of character as well. Their record is perfect, and we know that it will remain perfect, for the Spirit of Hope is master of their lives.

Extracts F r o m the Diary of a Hopeite-to-be Metropolis, North Dak. August 12. It is my birthday today. I am 17 years old. Ma gave me two new celluloid collars and pa promised that if harvesting was early this year I could go to Hope College. Dominie came over to-night and talked to pa. Dominie graduated in 82 and he says Hope College is the best Christian institution in the world. I can hardly believe that I am going to such a great school. Dominie says the houses of the school are in a kind of woods. He says he ain't been there since he graduated but he guesses it is much the same as always. I hope there is a path thru the woods so I can ride my bicycle. August 15. We have been awful busy shocking barley since my birthday. I a says I can go to college now for sure. He says he knows I will be a great dominie some day yet. I let him read this book once. He says my writing is wonderful and that I have some thoughts that nobody else ever had before. He is sure I am a genius. I think so too and I'm afraid I will be too high for my class in college. August 23. It is fierce hot tonight but I must write. Maggie didn't want to go buggy riding after church. She went with Gerrit. She don't know what a great man I will be some day. A book agent told me once when I told him I kept a journal that it was a sure sign of literary ability. It sounds swell and I know he is right. We gave a Christmas entertainment in our church last year and they said I done my part best. Dominie said then that if Professor Nykerk could have heard me he would know right away that I was an orator. August 24. We had thrashers today else pa and me would have went to the city. My Sunday suit is good yet, but Ala says I must have a new one for Sundays and wear my old one for days. Pa always buys good suits. I want a brown checked one. I will buy it plenty big so there will always be room. August 27. Pa and me went to Velderman's place and thrashed. and she likes me too.

I like Denie

August 28. No thrashing today so pa and me went to the city. Pa bought me some shoes and a suit. Shoes are fierce expensive but the man what sold us the suit tried a swell pair of tan pants on me. I thought I could wear them with the blue coat of my day's suit when I study. September 1. Uncle Cornell is going to take us to the train in his Ford automobile. Pa is going to go along to Prune Center. I never been overnight on the train. I wish Pa was going along to Michigan.

101

September 6. I am in Holland, Michigan. I liked the trip good. The nigger who owned the train thought I didn't know much. He tried to take my shoes, but I didn't let him. September 7. I met another boy. He told me where I could board and he took me to his room. H e was a very wicked boy, I guess. H e had a picture of the devil above his bed and he sang a song about " O n e keg of beer for the f o u r of us," but I didn't say nothing. He will be sent home, I bet. September 8. College opened this morning. Somebody said they went to chapel. I guess I did too, but I didn't get in the right room. I came there at about 7 o'clock and a boy asked me if I was going to Hope College. I said yes and he took me to a room with long tables and papers and books. He went away a f t e r awhile and I never saw him again. I sat and read the " L e a d e r " all morning. I didn't see any Professor but I guess there must be some somewhere. This P. M. I read my letter f r o m Ma and Pa. Dominie wrote me too. H e said not to be homesick. September 9. I met H e r m a n Deunkerk f r o m P r u n e Center. He took me to recite with him. H e says that Friday the boys like me and him have to pull some other boys through a river. I pulled our cow out once when she got stuck in a sink hole so I aint scared. I'm glad Ma put my overalls in my satchel.

102

A Hopeite-that-was ( F o u r years later.) M a r c h 4. I signed my last registration card this morning. It surely is tough to make a fellow "bone" during his last spring term—the only chance left to allow "his fancies to t u r n " to work, of course. March 5. Boarded the 5:15 f o r a spread at TeRoller's cottage. Some bunch, some e a t s ; but oh, that girl of mine! She surely had 'em all beat hollow, even if she is only a Freshman. H o w I hate to think of next year without those chummy chats with her. Gee! she's a good scout, too. F u n n y how serious a Senior begins to feel. I always thought it was beyond me, but I too seem to be falling. It was late and, as fate decreed, the " D o r m " was locked. W i t h the spirit of those who hope f o r the best, prepare f o r the worst and stand ready to take what comes, we strolled around the block to prepare f o r the ordeal of ringing the bell. W i t h the courage of a Spartan I was about to do the deed, when she called me back, saying she could not face the Dean a f t e r the episode of a couple of nights ago and that she p r e f e r r e d to stay with one of the town girls. Blame it—just my luck—she chose that Senior girl to whom I had sworn the night before that I wouldn't take another F r e s h m a n girl out this year. I've lived through this much, but the worst is yet to come. She'll make it hot for me. M a r c h 10. Got a letter f r o m Dad today. Mother and he may probably come down f o r Commencement. W o n ' t they think I've changed some, though. Joy, Oh B o y ! Some Rube f r o m Rubeville I must have been when I blew in. I was so green it's a wonder the ponies on the campus didn't take me f o r grass. Oh well, never mind, Metropolis, N o r t h Dakota, will be proud enough to own a college-bred man some day. (Blank it, if that isn't better than war b r e a d ! ) March 15. Chances are that my chances are sort of slim of passing Ed. this term since I've missed several trips to the "Seashore" and have neglected to hear what Colvin has to say on the subject. I'm pretty sure a flunk is laid up f o r me. T o d a y I simply couldn't help it with that banquet ahead. The decorating had to be done and of course, they always do shove everything off on us Seniors. Got to give a toast, too. A w f u l glad 1 decided to take that Junior girl. Seems to me I've been floating around with girls f r o m every class in the college. Some class to me. T h a t check Dad sent just came in the nick of time. Dear D a d ! He knew I wanted to send flowers to her. Some scrap about those blasted blooms, but then no party would be complete without some sort of a quibble. March toasts, dream in the

16. T w o bells A. M. Tired, but oh so happy. Decorations, music, eats, flowers, candle-light and girls in fluffy party dresses—it all seems like a but believe me the one thing that I do know is that I had the best looker bunch.

M a r c h 20. O, that was a n a r r o w escape—nearly got my walking papers today. Dynamite sure is rough stuff. It gave Old VanVleck a good rock-a-bye and broke several of Carnegie's lamps. W e simply had to do something to bust the monotony. T h e y say it nearly put Fresh Flighty out of business. He can thank his lucky stars he took so much time bidding those fond farewells, or they might have been his last ones. He came within an ace of going up

103

with the noise. Lucky f o r us Jack's P a is on the council. those dynamite thrills ! T h e suspense is a w f u l !

Saved again.

Oh,

April 10. Just got in f r o m a fare-thee-well for one of the soldiers. W e topped it off with a little toot down the country road. The night was wonderful, but there was neither wind nor water. Fish poles and rain barrels were plentiful. W e learned a new song entitled " C a r r y me back to Old Virginia"â&#x20AC;&#x201D; No encores called for. J u n e 5. Commencement night. Night of nights. Mortar boards are worse by f a r than hard-boiled hats. T h a t tassel made me crazy. Nearly took a header down the aisle too. Almost lost my hands in the intricate superfluity of black robe. Feel sort of sheepish. Probably it's because I've got my sheepskin, or maybe it's because P m leaving the fold. No more burning of midnight oil for mine. Pd rather sit in the dark. A few things I have learned since I left my happy home four years a g o : 1. Don't spout too freely. T h e r e are times when it is advisable to keep the door closed that leads to your dome of thought. 2. Paddle your own canoe (to get a " F a i r V i e w " ) and take it f r o m your Uncle Josh. 3. Learn f r o m "Experience." June 15. We've had our one last blow out (not a puncture either). It lasted a week. House parties are my idea of a gay time. T h e chaps were dandy sports. Vhen de vind blows in de spring time And flowers bloom in de valley green. Den Mac's de place for me and mine; Makes you feel like a king and queen. Salt and pep floats all around. It's at college parties, spice is found, "Git h e r " music and grate fire scenes; Them's the times you rack your beans T o think of f u n n y things to say, O r make her think things in your way. Davenports and porch swings in cahoots P e r f o r m such wondrous changes In your heart strings and your boots. Keep your head, is my fair warning, Since you can't control your heart. Life is real and life is earnest: Clear the track for Cupid's dart. MORAL :

All I say to you, dear Brother, Is, if you're inclined to doubt. Get a girl, a swing, and moonlight, And for f u n just try it out.

H o p e College P r e p a r a t o r y School Welcome " P r e p s ! " H o p e ' s P r e p a r a t o r y School is as necessary and as vital a part of the institution as the college department is! W h y ? Because a large number of the students in the college is directly supplied by the P r e p a r a t o r y School. " P r e p s " are always considered as the next generation of college students. Is it any wonder, then, that they are carefully fostered and thoughtfully taken care of by their elders? At that stage of their educational advancement, when mind and heart are most impressionable, when character is forming, when plans for their f u t u r e are taking shape, boys and girls require the personal supervision, the inspiration and stimulus which the upper classmen and the faculty provide. They are urged and advised to join the Y o u n g W o m e n ' s and Y o u n g Men's Christian Associations, and in these meetings their spiritual life is deepened and plans for f u t u r e service are being moulded. Interest in oratory, too, is stimulated while the students are still in " P r e p . " Several of Hope's winning orators were also graduates of her P r e p a r a t o r y School. H o w can they help being interested when prizes are offered those students delivering the best orations in a public oratorical contest, when they actively participate in the Glory Day exercises, and when they attend the mass meetings where the orators, their friends and helpmates, practice their forensics? In every way the standard of scholarship is maintained in the P r e p a r a t o r y School. Students are under the supervision of the Committee on Student Direction, which helps them to choose their courses of study. They are not allowed to take more work than their time and ability permit. Great care is bestowed upon their development as individuals, but no set ideals are placed before them into which they are compelled to cramp themselves, regardless of their capacities and wishes. T h e r e is a wide range of social activities in all the aspects of student life, and the faculty seeks to assist in the social development of the pupils. Then, they have their literary societies, their private entertainments, and the advantages of a splendid lecture course. Private work in elocution and music is also offered. T h e P r e p a r a t o r y Department, however, not only seeks to prepare for entrance into college or other professional schools, but it also aims for preparedness in "life's school," f o r commercial, industrial, social, and home life in a country of democratic institutions.

T h e Minerva Society T h e oldest girls' organization on the campus, the Minerva Society, dates back to the year 1894. It was then composed of College Department students as well as those of the P r e p a r a t o r y School.

T h e Meliphone Society T h e Meliphone Society looks back upon its sixty-second year with considerable satisfaction. Although the conditions have been very unsettled, Meliphone has progressed. Friendly rivalry has made the programs and weekly entertainments interesting and beneficial. Special emphasis has been placed upon voluntary and extemporaneous speaking, and a development in this art has been distinctly noticeable. It is with a sense of pride that we pay a tribute to the group of Meliphonians who have gone f r o m our midst into the service of the nation. Through the weekly letters sent by the society, they are kept in contact with our various activities and are made to feel the personal interest which each Meliphonian has in them. Although we miss their presence in our meetings, we feel honored at the thought that while they fight beneath die Stars and Stripes, and while they carry forth the banner of Hope, they also bear with them the never fading colors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; " t h e 'Orange and Black.'

T h e W e s t e r n Theological Seminary H e r e we areâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;twenty-seven strong; the Western Theological Seminary. W e have been playfully called the Western "Cemetery," but we claim no points in common with the denizens of the extreme east end of Sixteenth Street. O u r slightly advanced age and our partial separation f r o m the college prevent us f r o m making a display of our enthusiasm in the usual ways, but our enthusiasm is a positive force nevertheless. W e are deeply interested in "Old Hope," because most of us claim her as our Alma Mater. W e rejoice when victories are won, and we put on sackcloth and ashes when a defeat is sustained. But we are mostly interested in her students because it is f r o m their number that our numbers must be recruited. Many of the boys who intended to come to the Seminary have answered the call of their country, but we urge those who look f o r w a r d to a Seminary training not to give up their aims lightly, because the government itself testifies to the importance of the call of the Church of Christ by exempting divinit}' students f r o m military service. O u r Seminary prepares her students for a big job and does it effectivety.

A. Introduction, Discussion, Conclusion. T h e question b e f o r e us, " \ \ ho are we and h o w do we do it;'" is to be approached, as it' were, r a t h e r differently. In the first and sixth places, cabbage being the price it is, we must confess that there is now much to be said on both sides. W e know who we are alright, but how we do it is something else again, we not being addicted to looking on the flowing bowl, made to run over by the landlord, when the contents thereof are of a reddish colour*. A n d then, a n o t h e r thing, we never thot we'd ever see our stuff in the pages of this Standpipe of Seriousness, but here we a r e ; so let 'er b u c k !

W e specialize on Society Brand Clothes for Young Men and Men ho Stay \ oung because their makers are as particular about the styles for the "younger young men" as the others. I fere you will find dash and ginger clothes, you fellows. C lothes that are distinctive and progressive. Clothes that the designers had you college fellows in mind when they designed them. C lothes that the cloth buyers had you in mind when they selected the fabrics. Clothes that we had you in mind when we bought them. W e believe we are showing the greatest array of young fellows' clothes ever shown in this vicinity. This is your invitation to come in and browse around. We are just as particular in selecting shirts and other fittings as we are in selecting clothes. This store is the "Young Fellows' Headquarters."
