poreword OPE COLLEGE stands for H Purposeful Christian Education. Each year tKe instruction is ^iven with the intent that the studentry shall more and more nearly attain to this ideal. Daily activities and experiences reflect the persistent and sturdy growth of this influence. Herein we have tried to picture faithfully the activity and the "spirit" of the past year on Hope's campus. If we have failed, our labor accepts only the censure due inability. If we have succeeded, we seek no praise, we desire no commendation—we have only accomplished that which we set out to do.

HUMOR and ADVERTISEMENTS
J^)edication HTO the sons and daughters of Hope, the courageous, heroic souls, who, obedient to the Master's command, left their native soil to carry the message of peace to others; who, in their staunch, unwavering, faith, saw across the waters the ^reat task, which, if undertaken, would brin^ to their fellowmen the blessings and reward of an Eternal King, through Jesus Christ, we, the class of 1927, reverently dedicate this Milestone.
"QO
YE into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." Mark
16:15.
Had Hope's sons and daughters carried with them telegraph wires as they went to India, these lines would reach every station of the Arcot Mission area, and beyond to Pasumalai in the south. And were the score of representatives now on the field to call P r e x y ' s home, news f r o m school, f r o m villages, and f r o m towns would be brought in. And if one listens carefully he may hear the "Hope Yells" lustily given by the Indian youth f o r there is an Alma Mater called "Hope" f o r him too, the witness of the interest of the Hope at home. But with each message comes the cry of the youth of India to the student body at Hope, f o r brotherhood and fellowship. Rising on the wave of national aspirations the youth of India seeks a solution f o r the problems that confront his Motherland, yearns to see her take her place among the nations, and desires the secret of greatness for his countrymen. In the person of Christ he sees the embodiment of his ideals, and seeks ways of applying the teachings of the Master to his national life. T h e leaders of the Christian Church are asking f o r men and women who are willing to stand with them in this quest and to give their best for the church and f o r the country. To the Hopeites comes the challenge not only as REV. L . H E K H U I S , P H . D . , ' 1 3 f r o m youth to youth, but f r o m a land where Hope's Vellore, India. sons and daughters have borne the burdens for nearly a half century. Lives are needed and willing hands welcomed to write the chapter of Hope in the land of India, now in the throes of nationalism, and self-expression. And Hope will not fail. She cannot for the spirit of Hope is onward to the task. Founded on prevailing prayer, fostered by sacrificial service, expanded by generous gifts, and surrounded by a cloud of witnesses in every land arising to call her blessed, our Alma Mater's future is bright as the promises of God, so long as she thus continues to serve the Church and the Christ as one of the main spiritual power-houses where ability in terms of character and of service is emphasized. Greater numbers, better equipment, higher standards, moral tone and spiritual environment, all are assured Hope College, because she hews to this line, reveres the faith of the fathers, traces the will and the wisdom of God displayed in Nature and in Grace, and determines at all costs to use every God-given means, both old and new, without stint of men or money, yet withal to the glory of God. Hope's emphasis on perfect physique, undoubted moral integrity, intelligence of the highest order, and a double portion of the "milk of human kindness" with character conformed to the Christ, will enable her students, as they confront the world, to endure grave dangers and hardships, and to meet with precision and with courage the unexpected and perplexing problems. By inculcating in them the "will to do right", and enabling character to control conduct, Hope's graduates, as the "scrub-Oak" of America, are stripped by the rising tide of new life within, and themselves come to fruition in service for which conscientious training in their Alma Mater has fitted them. T h e Church must enable Hope College to continue in the van-guard. "Excelsior" and "Spera in Deo" R E V . H . P . BOOT, A . M . , ' 0 0 continue to be Hope's mottoes, and no one will take her crown. Amoy, China.

T h e greater the span of years is that separates us f r o m the day upon which we received our diplomas and bid farewell to our Alma Mater the greater becomes our appreciation of all that Hope gave us. Is this mere sentiment? Hardly. As our years and experiences multiply we more and more learn to discriminate between the things that are of value in life and those that are not. In our day the students were no more inclined to make the best use of their opporcunities than the students of the present generation—• and no less so. W e had our fun and did our work. W e criticized and we grumbied. W i t h it all each of us got a fair amount of what the curriculum offered. That, however was not the most valuable nor the most lasting part of our training. Youth is a time of spiritual questioning and of a seeking a f t e r the true meaning of life. This does not always appear on the surface. Yet it is there none the less. T o help its students to find a satisfying answer to these questionings has ever been a strong feature of Hope. T h e emphasis laid upon religious faith and upon religious activities has inspired ideals that have left their impress upon the world. T h e inspiration to religious L I F E and religious S E R V I C E stand out in my memory as the greatest achievements of Hope.

Because Hope College claims to be Christian I judge it by its missionary output, both in numbers and quality. Its missionaries may remain at home as ministers, or laymen or lay women, or come and join us at the front, but they must be missionaries, sent, under a mandate. A soldier can desert and risk the consequences but he cannot politely resign under fire, and get away with it. America refused the mandate over Armenia, but a Christian or a Christian college cannot so easily dispose of the Divine mandate. It is up to the students of Hope College thus to challenge the Church.

Alumni Song of '87
By DR. H . E . DOSKER, ' 7 6
Old Hope ! 1 hy sons around thee standing, Now raise thy banner high above. To thee a song they sing, To thee their tribute bring, A tribute of praise and of love. Chorus— Shout a shout, sons of Hope, like a bugle blast! "Alma Mater sempiterna sit!" Sing in jolly college lays Of our golden college days And the merry, merry life of the past. Ye host of ancient classic worthies. Whom we loved or hated with a will. Your lore is half forgot, But your memory is not, For your ghosts are haunting us still. As boys we dreamed of days before us, Of a distant longed-for "by and by"; But now, amid the strife Of a noisy carping life, W e look at the past and we sigh. ' Many a one is silent at the roll-call— Never more they'll cheer us on the way; But our love for them will last With the memories of the past. Of our careless and bright college days. In the past we loved our Alma Mater, Tn the present do we love her still; And we make a solemn vow, As we sing this lyric now. That our boys our places shall fill!

Junior Class The spirit with which the class of 1927 entered Hope and which it has since showed, has been steadily increasing. The enthusiasm and loyalty of its members in all class activities have been proved again and again. W h a t we undertake we see through to a finish! But underneath that strong class spirit is a deeper, broader love for the high standards and lofty ideals of Hope. As a class, we reach upward to attain our work in upholding those standards and in maintaining those ideals. May we prove ourselves still more worthy in the one remaining year we have to be active Hopeites.

Sophomore Class "There is one element, which is worth its weight in gold and that is loyalty." The class of 1928 demonstrates the worth of this maxim in its loyalty to "dear old Hope" and to the Sophomore banner. This spirit of loyalty, and perseverance was rewarded at the beginning of the year by victory in the "tug" from which the class received an impetus for the year. The Sophomore class has contributed both men and women to the athletic, scholastic and forensic fields. And so, in some measure, we have realized the success sought the first year at Hope. However, all laurels are not won and in the two remaining years at Hope, we aspire to attain greater prestige by loyalty to Hope and our classmates.

Spring's Revelry As spring comes on with balmy days,, And trees bud out with life anew It seems that nature teems with praise So glorious is her retinue. The spring's fresh spirit is a theme From nature blended measures bound And like a copious, tumbling stream, The echoes of the wood resound. The leaves and boughs in perfect union. Move with the motion of the air. And flowers, upturned in rapt communion, The wonders of the wood declare. In all is seen a subtle artâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Which soars above man's work, a tower; For God has chosen to impart His kinship through the tree and flower. P. A. E., '29

Freshman Class " H e a r ye! Hear ye! Hear ye! Hope's court of Public Opinion is now in session." Chief Justice: "Judges, what of the Class of 1929?" First Judge: "Your Honor, the Class of 1929 entered Hope with a spirit that has never been surpassed. They at once won the respect of the students and faculty of this college. They are the largest and the best class that ever Hope has seen." Chief Justice: "But how does the Class of 1929 show its spirit?" Second Judge: "Your Honor, of Hope's football men, fifty per cent are Frosh. Four Frosh were on the first team. Of the basketball squad, forty-five per cent are Frosh. There were five Frosh on the first squad. In the musical organizations twenty-five per cent are Frosh. The ability of the Class is recognized by all who know their work." Chief Justice: "Can the Class of 1929 be trusted with Hope's banners and Hope's traditions?" Thh'd Judge: "Your Honor, f r o m the Class of 1929 will come leaders for Hope's every activity. From its ranks will come our orators, athletes, musicians, statesmen. They will respect and keep Hope's traditions and raise her banners high. The Class of 1929 will bring honor to the college." Chief Justice: "Judges, your words are good. May the Class of 1929 be successful, even as other classes have been successful. May they be true to our emblems. May they leave their stamp on the college, that students in the future may say, 'This was done by the Class of 1929'." OFFICERS First

Student Council The purpose of the Student Council is to promote all student activities and to help build a bigger and better Hope. This year the Council has again sponsored the Honor Code and the Point System; both are proving effective. The financing of the Debating and Oratorical Leagues was also carried on by the Council. The Student Council wishes to thank the student body for the co-operation it has shown in the past year. OFFICERS President

Y. M . C. A. In an out-of-the-way place which dates back to 18â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was recently discovered a sign welcoming men to the Hope Y. M . C. A. To-day that welcome is as strong as ever. The " Y " seeks to confront men with Christ; to create in men a desire to make Him real in their lives. On the campus we find the physical stimulus in the athletic; the intellectual in the academic;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;the " Y " aims to provide the stimulus for the spiritual. With the realization of this aim comes the fellowship and brotherhood which characterize our Tuesday night meetings, where we meet on common ground. The spirit permeating all our work is, " T o Make Christ The King Of The Campus". The program of the " Y " extends beyond the campus, however. The Y. M. C. A. with the co-operation of the Y. W . C. A. conducts Sunday Schools in the outlying districts of Holland. Gospel Teams carry the Christian message to neighboring cities and villages which are in need of such influence. This year ten discussion group leaders were provided for the Michigan State Older Boys' Conference at Lansing, Michigan. The highest figure in our Mission work history was reached in supplying f u n d s for the Hope Hostel in India. This work is an Association Union project. One of the outstanding achievements of the year was realized during Prayer Week when Dr. F. F. Shannon of Chicago conducted the meetings. Hope enjoyed the privilege of holding the presidency of the Michigan State Student Council of the Y. M. C. A. during the past year. Every Monday night the Cabinet composed of thirteen men, meet in the " U p p e r Room" to conduct the Association's business, discuss campus problems, and seriously search for solution and guidance through prayer. Through the consecrated efforts of these men, the Association has been able to continue its worthwhile work for Christ's Kingdom.

Y. W. C. A. Amid the rush and confusion of college life, there is always time for quiet thought and meditation. Only the girls who attend the regular Y. W . C. A. meetings know how the peaceful stillness of that twilight hour can rest the mind and refresh the soul. To many it is an hour of worship and of service. There soul communes with soul in prayer, heart is joined with heart in praise and minds are drawn together in a spirit of Christian fellowship. I he supreme aim of the \ . W . C. A. is to make "Christ the King of our campus . I o this end " Y " endeavors to instill within the life of every girl high moral and spiritual values, to strengthen her ideals, and to prepare her for Christian service. I he V W. C. A. carries its influences far beyond the campus. The three gospel teams are instrumental in bearing the message of peace and of hope to many in the neighboring towns. T he Christmas boxes which are sent to the various mission stations every year are the means of bringing to many children the realization of the true Christmas spirit. Then, too, the Y. W . C. A. together with the Y. M. C. A. at the annual Hope drive pledge their contributions for the support of missionary work abroad. So the Y. \V. C. A. is linked in an endless chain with men and women in all parts of the world for the good of all mankind.

Student Volunteers "Go ye into all the world!" This was the last command f r o m the lips of the Master of men before He went to His heavenly home. It was not an empty command. The Gospel is not meant merely for a few nations but for every nation. W h e n Christ fed the five thousand He did not pass the food only to those in the front ranks but to all. "Go ye into all the world!" W h e n we consider the import of this statement we are amazed at the lethargy of the church. Every member of the church should have the missionary enterprise close to his heart. W e are convinced that if every Christian would take his share of the burden of carrying out the Lord's command, our motto, "The Evangelization of the World in This Generation", would be realized. "Go ye into all the world!" This command bears peculiar weight with us as Student Volunteers. W e have enlisted in the great enterprise to bring to the nations of the world the One Great Force without which all attempts of man to attain to supreme happiness and blessedness must ultimately fail. If the Lord wishes to use us there we purpose to serve Him in the foreign field to bring to them the dynamic messageâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Christ. OFFICERS President Vice-Prcsidcnt Secretary-T rcasurer

Home Volunteers Interested in the service of Christ through the ministry of the Gospel, we are banded together in this Society as those dedicated to a common cause. As we have realized more and more the greatness of our calling and the fact that the armor of the Christian servant must be put on with great care, sincere endeavor. and earnest prayer, we have taken this opportunity to become acquainted with our future task and to fit ourselves while in college for our life work. A very prosperous year has been enjoyed. W e can truly say that in this, the fifth year of the organization, the Home Volunteers have strived to realize the ideals we have set before us. O u r meetings have been delightfully interesting. O u r fellowship with each other and with God has strengthened our convictions and given us a greater zeal for our work. Interest in our calling has been deepened and its problems have become better known. May our cherished cause, in its triumphant onward march, be blessed and strengthened by God. OFFICERS

Science Club To nurture the scientific attitude in the individual, whether he be meeting with his fellow Science Club members, or at work in the laboratory,â&#x20AC;&#x201D;such is the primary purpose of the Hope College Science Club. The essential qualification for membership in the Club is proved ability in and devotion to science. Members are regularly chosen from the science students of the Junior and Senior classes. The organization, necessarily, takes on many of the characteristics of an honorary science club. At meetings, which are held f r o m time to time, interesting scientific topics are discussed sometimes by the college science professors and sometimes by club members. These meetings, together with a "stag" in the spring, constitute the activities of the Science Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but the primary purpose is served in the everyday school work, the fostering of a scholarly scientific attitude.

Chemistry Club The Hope College Chemistry Club is one of the most recent organizations on the campus. It was started in the year 1923 by the late Dr. Godfrey and has since that time been making rapid progress. Its membership consists of those persons who hope to make Chemistry their life work. Much praise is due Dr. Van Zyl whose undying interest has done much for the betterment of the club. Meetings are held every three weeks, at which numbers on chemistry are rendered by members and visiting speakers.

Pre-Medic Club The Pre-Medic Club is composed of college men who intend to study medicine. The Club was formed to promote good fellowship among the pre-medic group and to further the interest of its members in their chosen profession. Many instructive programs are given by the members throughout the year, and. when possible, the members attend local medical conventions to hear authorities lecture on their work. This year the charter members of the Pre-Medic Club graduate and they feel well satisfied with the organization they have founded because of the interest and enthusiasm it has aroused in its members for their life work.

The Anchor It is now thirty-nine years since the first Anchor went to press. For a time the paper was a monthly with decided literary aspirations; a change, however, was efifected in 1914 when the management decided in favor of weekly issues. During the past few years, the trend has been away f r o m a literary to a newspaper. Thus is a college publication forced to keep pace with its student subscribers. In the year that has just ended. The Anchor, as the students' weekly, has found its first duty to be that of a newspaper, reviewing for its readers the events of the past week and outlining the coming activities. If the Stafif could add here and there an artistic touchâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;something to offset the drudgery of such routineâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; they have felt happy indeed. But were this all a "paper" to do, its work would be futile. T h e Anchor Staff of '25 has tried to "sell" Hope College: first, to the students that they see beyond their cliques, a school unity and its advantages; then, to the Alumni and other friends who are interested, that they may feel justly proud of Hope.

T h e 1 9 2 6 MILESTONE Again the Junior Class presents its MILESTONE. T h e first Htope College Annual appeared in 1905. Not until 1916 was another book edited, but since that time MILESTONES have appeared annually. Hope, like nearly all colleges in the land, makes a year book part of its college life. The object in publishing this Annual is threefold: "To bring the Alumni and friends into closer touch with the college; to foster and increase a feeling of unity among the students, and to advertise our beloved Hope." The staff of '27 hopes that this has been accomplished. To the merchants of Holland and of the vicinity we are deeply indebted. Their share in helping us was tremendous. During the early summer months Miss Jones of Holland took these beautiful scenic pictures which we have featured. Steketee-Van Huis Printing Company contributed both time and labor in cutting cardboard. Their co-operation is appreciated. The MILESTONE Auxiliary Staff merits much praise. William Peelen and 1 heodore Luidens assisted the Business Manager. Henrietta Beyers worked with the Literary Editor and William Hughes, assisted by Paul Van Ess, aided the Snapshot Editor. T o John Moedt we owe thanks for the uniform and distinctive printing, the society designs, and all the border line work. Others who contributed to the Art Department were Anna Mae Tysse, Earl Goodwin, Kathryn Keppel and John Henry Albers. The staff deemed it an honor and a pleasure to produce this ' 2 6 M I L E S T O N E .

The Girls' Glee Club Due to the graduation of many members last year the Hope College Girls' Glee Club has undergone such a marked change in personnel, that in reality it is a new organization. The girls have realized that they have an enviable reputation to maintain, and in so far as it has been possible they have succeeded in maintaining it. The Club has not appeared as frequently before the public eye, as formerly, but the girls have spent much of their time practicing under the efficient directorship of Mrs. Fenton. Aside from giving concerts in several of the towns in our vicinity and singing in our local churches, no extensive work has been done. The girls feel confident of great success in the future, and believe that with a little more experience and practice they will be able to accomplish noteworthy achievements, and will have equaled, if not exceeded, the proficiency of the former club.

The H o p e Harmony Glee Club This year has seen the advent of a new glee clnb on the campus. However, do not let the little word "new" deceive you, for the club's development under Mrs. Fenton and Cornelia Nettinga has been rapid. Many audiences have expressed their appreciation of the programs the club has rendered. Since we expect all our members to return next year, we hope to be able to develop for Hope some harmony worthy even of Hope's name.

The Men's Glee Club W h a t would a man be without love for music? who has no love for music:
Shakespeare says of the man
"The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds. Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils, The motions of his spirit are dull as night. And his affections dark as Erebus; Let no such man be trusted."
It was to fill this distinct need in the individual and college life that the Hope College Men's Glee Club was organized in the fall of 1924. The aim with which we started: to give Hope a Men's Glee Club of which she might be proud, we believe has to a certain extent been accomplished. Under the able direction of Mrs. Fenton the Club has been very successful this year. The Club has gone on several week end trips the past season and were well received wherever they went. Larger plans are being made for the ensuing year. Director

H o p e Orchestra The Hope College Orchestra this year has a membership of twenty-four. Under the excellent leadership of John Lloyd Kollen it has certainly proved itself worthy of the support of the school. The type of music and the quality of rendition have been far superior to that of the past few years. One home and several out-of-town concerts have been scheduled besides the engagements for plays and Lecture Course numbers. The Hope Orchestra will also play for the Pageant to be given in June. This has been a profitable and very enjoyable year for all the members of the organization.

H o p e Band "Hats O f f ! Along the street there comes A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums,"
Due to the inspiration and leadership of James \ er Meulen, a well balanced band of thirty-five pieces was organized this year. To begin and to complete a task is very difficult, but the members sacrificed time and money and were awarded praise by the student body. W h a t is a college without a band ? Hope now knows that a good band is the only true source of "Pep". Hope " P e p " cannot be suppressed nor surpassed when the band fills the air with a lively march. W e owe a great deal of our success to Herman C. Johnson, our leader, who did all he could to make the organization what it proved to be. Leader

Delphi Society With knowledge, truth, loyalty, service and love their watchwords, the hearts and prayers of forty girls have been brought together in Delphi.
Hoping and
working together, these girls have found the happiness of friendship as well as the joy of achievement.
Bound by the ties of the Gold and Blue, with loyalty
to one another, to Delphi and to Hope, they have been led over the rough as well as the smooth paths of college life; and now at the end of the year can say,â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Hail Delphi! for we are the bigger and broader for having entered into thy portals."

Sibylline Society "Before the cave of Cumae rolled the deep blue sea, crested with silvery ripples ; sun dappled, moon-frosted."
These the colors of Sibylline, the royal blue
and chaste silver represent to us the high ideals of the life abundant, the development of the body, the enrichment of the mind, and the sanctification of the spirit. It is the spirit of Sibylline that inspires us to greater achievement in college activities, greater service for God and for Hope, and a greater feeling of friendliness toward our fellow students. W h e n we think of the true and loyal friendships, of the glorious good times together, of the earnest striving for the best, we believe we a r e :
'Thrice
blessed, aye more are zve whose love,
Ne'er sundered Through
by the curse of strife
all events its zvorth can prove,
And only part with parting
life."

Alethian Society H u g h Black once said, "Comradeship is one of the finest facts and one of the strongest forces."
The purpose of Alethia is to establish true comradeship be-
tween its members, between all students on the campus and between students and faculty, that this comradeship may become a vital force for Christian service on Hope's campus and the world. So, under the guidance and the influence of the "blue and the rose, the symbols of truth and love", and with the gleaming "torch for a beacon and signal" we earnestly seek to so fulfill our mission that the influence of Alethia will be felt for years to come, for
'To Jive in hearts we leave behind Is not to die."

Knickerbocker Society In all of its past activity, Knickerbocker has persistently aimed to intertwine the society's creed of Social, Moral and Intellectual advancement with the spirit and principles of our Alma Mater.
This year, remaining true to her glorious
precedent, she has faithfully maintained this enviable ideal.
Each member, filled
with ardor and enthusiasm, has sincerely given his best to the welfare of Hope and Knickerbocker.
Dear to every heart is the spirit of good fellowship and unity of
purpose, so prevalent within the organization, making for deeper understanding of one's fellows, and a close interweaving of ideas and ideals.
W e equally stress
the importance of clean sportsmanship, clean living and direct our thought and activity toward their attainment.
Always aware of the intellectual aim in col-
legiate work, we strive to put such material into our programs as will benefit both the participants and the audience. Undividedly we stand by Hope and endeavor to do those things of which she will be p r o u d ; working for the common Christian fellowship of men, under the dual emblem: "Ruby-black
'neath the Orange and Blue".

Addison Society Progress has been called the "march of the intellect", and we believe that we have experienced this advancement.
For with the spirit of absolute loyalty to
the three basic principles Fidelity, Culture, and Leadership our society has completed another successful year. W e have endeavored to be f a i t h f u l to the ideals upon which our society was founded, and thus have shown ourselves to be in accord with the principles of Hope.
W e have sought to become expressive of refinement and intellectual de-
velopment. and through the carrying out of these aims hope to become true leaders, realizing that he who leads best must serve. In this onward trend we most heartily believe that.

PROFESSOR J . B . N Y K E R K
M . O . L. One of the most popular of all activities at Hope is that of public speech. This activity is made successful through the efforts of Dr. Nykerk, for years instructor in this department.
T h e general interest shown is due to his enthusiasm
and to the keen competition among the students.
Hope's coach is the only one
of the organizers of the Michigan Oratorical League still active as a teacher in public speaking. Hope has had the privilege of holding the presidency of the M. O. L. this year. On March 5th, 1926, the annual contest of the M. O. L. was held at Ypsilanti, Michigan.
This contest furnishes wholesome rivalry among the colleges of the
state and is credited with more prominence and publicity each year. The students again had cause to celebrate for Miss Harriet L. Heneveld won first place in the nineteenth annual Women's Contest and Mr. John H . Albers won third place in the twenty-ninth annual Men's Contest.

W e are assembled here, as students representing various colleges, yet all one with one common purpose—to consider our modern problems and their solutions. This assembly has been made possible because of our far-reaching educational system. Never before has education been so wide-spread. Never have so many children been gathered into American school-rooms. Never have finer buildings been dedicated to education, nor teachers been held in such high esteem. But stop! Whence come these great blessings? Great teachers and great schools are not accidental. In analyzing our educational system, we find that while many factors have been c o n t r i b u t o r y , the ultimate cause lies in this fact — the sources of our education were Christian in spirit. T h e preamble of the North West Territorial Act of 1787 states: "Religion, morality, and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools shall be forever encouraged." Religion ! Morality! Knowledge ! Such was the lofty aim of our forefathers. This Christian spirit is the pure spring, the Lebanon of education. As it wound its way down through the years into its crystal waters flowed so many streams of thought that to-day the little spring has become a swirling mass of rushing waters. H a s the spring retained its purity, or have bitter waters flowed in destroying its sweetness? Education has made strides: but do vou know that along with it crime has increased sixteen and six-tenths per cent between the years 1910 and 1922? W h a t means this New York Students Perverted Code? Forgery, gambling, and cheating, accepted as common practices! Only he who is caught, guilty of offense'! T o cheat, if one "gets away with it", is not immoral : but to be caught, that is inexcusable! Juvenile delinquency is alarmingly prevalent. Ninety per cent of our mitted by youth under twenty-one years of age. Every year three billion property is stolen in the United States. Is the American youth taught, steal?" Every year fifteen thousand persons die by murder and homicide. youth taught, "Thou shalt not kill?" Out of this lawlessness nigh unto challenge—What's wrong with our children?
crimes dollars "Thou Is the anarchy
are comworth of shalt not American rises the
W e answer with a voice not of pessimism but of deep alarm. There is something wrong with our children. This is not mere supposition, but a fact proved by scientists in pedagogy. In their experiments, stripping education of its glamour and pretense, they caused, "truth to stand bare and shiver." The facts they have gleaned are astounding. They have set our complacent minds to thinking. Some years ago, while at Columbia University, Dr. Voelker, former president of Olivet College, quietly experimented on the little rag-tag soul of the school lad, Jimmy. By a series of tests, Jimmy registered his slippery philosophy of life. H e lied. H e stole. H e cheated. Poor little lad—he didn't know any better. H e was never taught differently. H e thought that that was the way of life. Scientists worked on the stunted soul of Jimmy and instilled lofty principles of morality and religion. In three months, Jimmy increased three hundred per cent in honesty. Yes, morality can be taught. Dr. Voelker brought the educational world to its senses by proving that merely cramming the three R's into our children's heads is not producing men and women of character; that education lacks some vital force of spirituality; that that force applied works wonders in the famished soul of the child. Calvin Davis, P r o f e s s o r of Education in the University of Michigan, confirmed this truth by sending out a questionnaire concerning morality and religion to ten thousand High School students. T h e results were pathetic. These school boys and girls, in endeavoring to pick out the good and the bad, failed miserably. Infinitely sad is the picture they drew of

dictmTnt f^l'k ^ f l f 5 5 ' b e w i l d e r . e d - W h e r e 'jes the cause of this social dissociation? The indictment falls alike upon our homes, our schools, our churches, which have failed to feed the starving souls of the ch.ldren with morals and religion. Perhaps you s l y - t e a c h religion in t e schools Oh . that is the duty of the home and the church, not of the school Yes it is the duty of home and church, but do these fulfill their duty? Scientific research proves that in our country more than twenty-eight million children are unreached by the Sunday School Ten million homes, moreover, are unchurched. Moreover, the modern home, so involved in m g lnter st s 0 the da irfrcrh r l O U M / , y h e e d s n o t t h e cries of her children. As Rabbi prW t ' S a n greatest failure of the nineteenth century has been the failure of religious education Our public schools have not given character. They give the student power to do !vf r v! ^ V1 t h e mora! force and will to restrain him f r o m using that power. In educating the head and not the heart and soul, the public schools are failing at a crucial point." dot to s that ; r ' j u d ^ e s ' a " d churchmen point out the gravity of the situation and plead t at education include morals and religion. You shudder, perhaps, at the thought—religion in rnea b lckenn controve"' ? . & o v e r creeds, a quarrel between denominations, a controversy over canons? N o ! this is not true religion. If religion means naught but creeds, denommationahsm, dogmas, doctrines, then, I say, religion cannot be taught. But true reigion is man s effort to perfect himself through the appeal and aid of the Divine. If we 6 al n l/hl t6' / ? l l - e a s d e , v o t i o n t 0 m o r a l ideals, love f o r truth, appreciation beauty, and the aim of education as the development of man's ideal nature, then religion cannot be divorced f r o m education. Religion and education are, therefore, natural allies.
This principle contrasts sharply with the popular idea of training f o r efficiency Of course material efficiency is good in itself, but the time has come when efficiency the dollar sign, and selfishness are crowding out idealism. W h a t use is knowledge without right purpose? American children must be given a right purpose, be aroused to nobler emotions, endowed with worthy ideals of conduct, stirred to religious consciousness. Only education based on the Spirit of the Christ can accomplish the ideal goal of life. America is now paying the penalty of having discarded morals and religion, the most vital force m education. All our material prosperity and advance in science cannot save our nation f r o m ultimate decay, unless lawlessness is checked by religion. In the year 1914 the nations of Central Europe went to smash—for lack of brain? N o ! f o r lack of character. American youth now betray this same lack of character. \ \ e learn about Zeus, Brahma, and Mohammed, but the God of our civilization has been cast out. T h e Bible, the book by which men live, is read in the schools of only six states I ask, what objection can there be to teaching our children the Golden Rule, the t e n Commandments, the dishonorableness of cheating and lying, the joy of service? There can be no objection to interpreting the spiritual messages of history, fiterature, and art. The persever-

ance of Columbus, the justice of Roger Williams, the manliness of Lincoln can instill these very virtues into children's hearts. Millet paints the Shepherdess. Peering into this devout peasant's soul, our hearts throb with inspiration to live purely. Beethoven composes a symphony. As the notes of true harmony ring out our soul fills with joy. Surely this is food for starved souls. Likewise, there can be no possible objection to holding up before our students the inspiring life of the lowly Man of Gallilee. T h e scene must have been tragic when the lawyer of a certain murderer cried out in the courtroom: " T h e r e I see the picture of the Crucified and I pay homage to it. But why do we not hear of H i m in our schools ? W h y does Sandat, the murderer, f o r the first time in his life see the Crucified here in this hall, where the law will punish him? If the attention of my client had been directed to the Crucified when he still sat on the benches of the school, he would not now sit on the bench of disgrace and i n f a m y ! " Educators and future leaders of men, can we not protect our children behind the barricade of religion? Can we not develop their souls to direct their energies f o r good? Yes. America can and will. Above the a w f u l din of despair rises the song of hope. America is tired of watching that ghastly line of ten thousand human beings die each year by homicide. Merchants are tired of being robbed of $1,000,000.00 every year. America is shocked by the scientific tests, revealing the starved souls of the children. Yes, America is going to do something. T h e present day witnesses a movement that is gripping social consciousness to provide a more systematic scheme for training the souls of children. In late years, scores of conferences met for this purpose. Last year, the annual convention of the National Education Association decided that the school should be preeminently a place for character building. A short time ago President Coolidge set aside one Education Week for this purpose. Our state legislature is considering a bill for introducing systematic Bible Training in Michigan schools. Ours is the task to aid in this great movement of instilling into the consciences of American children right habits of industry, justice, kindness, reverence for all that is sacred and holy. Fathers and mothers, your homes can cooperate with the school and church by nourishing the unfolding souls of your children with high ideals and habits. Church fathers, you can awaken dormant spirituality in the youth of our land. Teachers, you can mould the souls of children by your example and precept. Seniors, teachers of to-morrow, the river of education will be fed by your streams of thought. T h e river is calling for the pure waters of Lebanon to cleanse it of its bitterness. It sighs over the convicts, the murderers, the political bribers, the parasites of society who drink f r o m its defiled waters. It calls for religion and morality, so that its waters may give strength of true character. Teachers, educators, you can purify the poisoned waters. Students, you too must heed the call. Your contribution can be as telling as that of H o w a r d Arnold Walter, who a f t e r graduating f r o m Princeton University, decided to give his life in service for mankind. One Christmas day, he sent a poem, expressing his own heart life, to his mother. Though he died a few days later he still lives in his poem; "I I I I I I I I

"Take Down Your Sign. . . By J O H N H E N R Y A L B E R S Awarded
Third Place in the Michigan
Oratorical
Contest for Men.
A few years ago, excavators of an old city in Egypt uncovered a stone with a written secret. A scholar decoded the inscription and revealed the story of how an old sage complained, three or f o u r thousand years ago, about the rising generation. T h e young people of his day, he wrote, were immoral, irresponsible, and careless. "They are not at all as they used to be in the good old times," he said. Now, the ancient stone typifies the attitude of the older generation in our own, or almost any period, of history. Youth always has been rebellious. Even among the writers of sacred scripture we can find those who complained of the immorality and indifference of youth. Sir Frances Drake's mother undoubtedly went sadly about the house, thinking that this passion f o r the sea had sprung up since her day, and that no good would come out of it. T h e f a t h e r of Columbus must have fervently urged his son to learn the fine points of wool-combing as he had done. In the ears of youth have always rung the condemnation of the age. Still there has never been a time when young people were so generally criticized as they are to-day. Whether or not the young people of this age are of preceding generations is a side issue. T h e main question is : A r e they, guilty of the charges brought against them? And if they are, what are the may these be remedied?
and so severely worse than those or are they not causes and how
T h e r e are two views of the modern youth. On the one hand, we have the picture of a young fellow, lazily puffing a cigarette as he reclines in a comfortable sport roadster. H e turns and smiles to his lady friend who, with one foot on the running board, is hastily putting the final touches upon her hand-made complexion. W i t h her frizzled bobbed hair, her short skirts, and rolled stockings, she represents one of the most vicious of her fast set. T h e young man of to-day has been accused of being careless, heedless, callous-â&#x20AC;&#x201D;-with little respect for age or f o r achievementâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;intent only upon his own pleasures. H e drinks freely, drives automobiles wildly, dances disgracefully, talks slangily, and jibes irreverently at parent manners and morals. Such is the pessimist's view of the modern youth. But I see another picture of youth as he sits at the Student Volunteer Convention in Indianapolis and at the Washington Student Conference. Here, thousands of students have gathered to discuss the economic and industrial problems of the present day. A spirit of brotherliness, of tolerance and service is present, while love rules every action. T h e sentiments of these people find best expression in the words of one of their n u m b e r : "I am tired of the farce of calling myself a Christian and sanctioning in my heart what I believe to be an unchristian societ}'." Tliis new spirit of a new type shows out still more clearly in the commitment drawn up by the Student Fellowship, reading: "I recognize the domination of pagan principles and motives in present-day business relationships, especially as shown in the flagrant disregard for human values in industry. I am confronted with the need for men and women with the spirit of Christ, who will, at whatever cost, strive to make the principles of love and service effective in all their relationships, thruout the world." These are facts. Nevertheless, the Public in its condemnation of youth fails to see the latter picture of hope and encouragement, while they continue to rail against the waywardness and irresponsibility of young people. Youth is misunderstood and needs to be defended. For youth has a wealth of fineness and courage that even socially cultivated filth cannot covcr. And beyond the cheap glitter of tainted pleasures and social excess, the young men and women still see visions. T h e seeming wildness of youth springs f r o m certain causes: first, the naturally venturesome spirit of the young. Youth is not satisfied to drift quietly down the stream of life.

It is eager to explore the tempting little brooks and inlets, even if they do lead over the rocks of false doctrines and down the waterfalls of strange philosophies. And so youth travels on always yearning f o r the new and untried. Besides his natural daring, changed social conditions have also affected the modern youth. New forms of indulgence and so-called pleasure-seeking lure him. T h e younger generation has not learned to recognize the newly invented tools and poisonous gases of modern life. Motors, movies, jazz music, freedom of action, liberty of thought, and the rights of individuals^ all threaten, excite, tempt them. J. D. Rockefeller, Jr., says that "Civilization, the accumulation of mind and matter, has temporarily outstripped religion." Too much emphasis has been placed upon physical discoveries, materialistic philosophy, and the invention of new machines. W e have lacked the appreciation of human values and the spiritual development of the individual. Such problems youth must confront. Then, too, when we look f o r the mote in the eye of youth, we must also consider the beam in the eye of the parent. In a questionnaire sent recently to practically all the protestant clergymen in the United States, asking who is to blame f o r the conditions of the youth, seventy-eight per cent of all the writers mentioned as the cause, the bad examples and lax discipline of the parents. One of the great football players of a leading University in discussing the social conditions upon his campus, told how immediately following the Washington Student Conference on law enforcement, his college made a right-about face and student drinking became negligible. Any fellow who encouraged it was quickly ostracized. But when the alumni came back f o r commencement and for the social functions preceding the commencement, the campus went drunk again. Is youth always to blame? W e hear the accusation that the rising generation is seriously lacking in proper appreciation of spiritual values. But all too many modern parents have not done their part toward instilling into the minds and hearts of their growing children the foundation for a strong religious life. Many of the young people who are called wild have received nothing more stable upon which to build their morals than their own wills. In the fast and dizzy pace which the world is setting f o r us now, a young lad needs more to keep him straight than a strong will. H e needs the trust and confidence of Christian parents, the association with Christian organizations, and any other ties which will bind him to the truth. A good home, with wise and consecrated parents, means more in a young person's life than everything else combined. W h a t then shall be the remedy f o r our problem? T h e burden of responsibility must be shared by all. There are various ways in which parents can help their children and there are obligations which youth must assume. A parent should be, above all, a comrade of youth, a sympathetic and understanding companion whom youth can take into his confidence, and who can help him solve the perplexing problems of life. Such comradeship requires a parent's time. Parents plead business causes and social duties; but a successful social achievement or a thriving business is of no value if it is bought at the expense of a child's welfare. Do you remember t h e frantic father in the play, "The Fool", the father who had never known his little girl, and who awoke one morning to find that he never would know herâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;because she was dead? For that father there was some excuse. W o r k in the mines, f o r fourteen hours each day, and seven days a week, make fathers strangers to their children. But there are parents whose social and business pursuits cause them to neglect their children. They rob the cradle of the hand that moves the world. Moreover, a comradeship between parents and children demands not only that parents should get a knowledge of conditions as they really are, but also that parents should look at these problems f r o m a youth's viewpoint. Many parents resemble the spectators who sit along the sidelines of a football game, criticizing the players without knowing the rules of the game or the psychology of the players. Their attitude is hostile, not sympathetic. They are censors, not friends. And so, parents, we would ask you not to criticize youth, but to listen to youth. Listen not with a sneer as to some freakish novelty, not with scorn as to an enemy. Listen not as to a new and better authority. Look upon us children rather as fellow travelers and explorers who may possibly point out along the road of life what you have not yet seen; who may possibly remind you of something in the path already traversed that you have been ignoring; who may possibly realize the difficulties ahead and strengthen your courage to meet them.

As youth on the other hand, we also have a grave responsibility. In a day of such unparalleled mechanical invention and discovery, it seems almost as if the Creator of men had said, It is time that these children of mine came to maturity. I will give them at last their Let us see full mastery over the earth and over the air and over the spirits of themselves how they bear themselves under these gifts." Thus comes a great challenge to human worth and human power. T o meet such a challenge requires more than our own weak strength. W e need the accumulated knowledge laid up by those who have preceded us along the trail All achievement is built upon past knowledge. And "the wisest man is not he who suggests the most new things, but he who building upon the firm foundation of the past and making full use of tried principles, best' helps to readjust the world in which he lives to new times and new conditions." Open defiance and advice and knowledge does not indicate a progressive spirit. W e must not go blindly groping f o r the truth. Rather we should benefit by the efforts of our elders who have blazed the trails and cut the paths f o r us to travel on. And when we come to the end of their trail we must carry on. ' "God give us men! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and willing hands. Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot b u y ; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor, men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue, And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking; Tall men, sun crowned, who live above the f o g In public duty and in private thinking. For while they rabble with their thumb-worn creeds. Their professions and their little deeds Mingle in selfish strife, lo! Freedom weeps! W r o n g rules the land, and waiting justice sleeps! Can you say, 'Take down your sign, I'M your man?' "

Debating Debating activities occupy about four months of the school year.
During
this time, eliminations are held, the teams are chosen, and the inter-collegiate contests are held.
These matters are ably directed by Professor Irwin J. Lubbers.
T h e fact that he is coaching an activity of his Alma Mater in which he was formerly engaged gives him a broad field of experience to draw from.
To his
keen ability to judge the merit of a case goes much of the credit for any victories which Hope teams may gain and the debaters feel deeply grateful for the aid which he has given them. All of Hope's forensic activities are under the auspices of the nKA chapter of which Stanley Albers is president.
He has directed the organization through a
year of prosperity and shares in the honor for numerous debating victories.
As
a veteran debater he has assisted much in the coaching of new debaters and in his graduation Hope feels a great loss.

Calvin gave the team its final defeat in a post-season debate at Grand Rapids. Along with these debates, a non-decision contest was staged with Kalamazoo College in which Henry Burggraaff, Timothy Cramer and Vernon Ten Cate argued the affirmative for Hope.

Baseball, 1925 The achievement of the varsity baseball squad for the 1925 season was a commendable one. The record of seven wins, with only four losses, in the regular schedule was something to cause rejoicing among all the fans of the Orange and Blue teams. An early spring made outdoor practice possible even before the spring recess. The squad soon gave evidence of the ability that was to carry it through a successful season. Albers, Buikema and Cole were retained as regular moundsmen. Several new faces appeared in the opening tilt with Kalamazoo Normal, some of whom won regular berths while others were held in reserve. Perhaps the most sensational game of the season was with Kalamazoo College. Airtight pitching by Albers, who retired seventeen men during the game was a main feature. Errorless ball-playing was also largely responsible for Hope's overwhelming victory. Excellent fielding, fair hitting and wise base-running combined with a dependable trio of hurlers to produce the following record:â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 2 17 6 8 1 9 2 3 4 9 16

Football Playing throughout the season with the weather-man against them, the Orange and Blue gridders emerged at its close with a percentage of five hundredâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;two games won, two games lost, and one game tied. On only one occasion was a game played under normal weather conditions : the others were played on muddy or snow-covered gridirons. Coach Schouten had capable assistants in Professor Raymond, Mr. Nelson and "Ted" Vanden Brink. T h e season started off well with a 12-0 victory over Ferris Institute. T h e fellows were showing the results of excellent coaching and spirited scrimmage. On a sloppy and clay field at Detroit the following week, the City College aggregation got the only break of the game when a Hope punt was blocked and recovered by Detroit behind the Orange and Blue goal line. Straight football was the only thing the weather permitted, and Detroit bettered Hope 7-0. Over Junior College of Grand Rapids, the Orange and Blue eleven triumphed 3-0. A snow-covered field kept the score down for both of the teams. Findjay College travelled to Holland f r o m Ohio for the next game and rolled up thirteen points in the first half before the Orange and Blue jerseyed men knew the game was on. Some one must have given the password during the intermission, however, for the next half they came out and played inspired football. Thirteen points were credited to Hope in the last session, and the boys were on their way to the Findlay goal when the final whistle blew. On Armistice Day "Bob" Black and Co., representing Kalamazoo College, came to Holland and with one of the neatest aerial attacks ever witnessed on a Wooden Shoe gridiron they humbled the Hope warriors 34-0. 1 he fight and real Hope spirit displayed in every tilt is due in a large measure to the excellent support accorded the team by the student body.

Three veterans and many new enthusiasts responded to the
summons and a f t e r several weeks of consistent training, they were well prepared for the final try-out.
Six men were selected to represent Hope at the Annual
Intercollegiate five mile grind at East Lansing on November seventeenth.
The
team continued its strenuous training a f t e r this try-out with a strong determination to raise Hope's record.
But largely due to keener competition and a new
course, the team was compelled to accept defeat from four other institutions at the meet. A dual cross-country meet was arranged with
Kalamazoo College, but
weather conditions prevented the run. There will be several fast men back next fall and Coach Schouten will be able to build up a record breaking outfit.

Basketball W h e n the final whistle of 1925 brought to a close the last game of the season, it also concluded the activities of one of the greatest quintets that ever represented the Orange and Blue. Although faced with the difficult task of forming a new quintet, Coach Schouten was favored by having five veterans upon whom to rely. Some had had more experience than others, but due to the superior ability of the preceding five they had not had the opportunity of playing together very much before the opening of the present season. Four new-comers landed varsity berths along with the five veterans of last year's squad, and every one proved himself a capable performer and worthy of wearing the Orange and Blue. However, in the midst of a strenuous season two regulars were forced to leave the squad, and in spite of the fact that good men took their places, the effect of the blow was very noticeable. Compared with the 1925 record the one just hung up is not so impressive. A glance at the scores will bring out the fact, however, that in most cases only a few points separated winner from loser. T h e majority of the games were won only in the final minutes of play. The teams that opposed Hope on the court this year were of the highest possible caliber and in every game the characteristic Hope "spirit" was very evident. T h e five men on the floor gave their best and we are particularly proud of their ability. H a t s off, then, to the fighting spirit and gameness of the 1925-1926 Orange and Blue quintet!

Reserve Basketball The reserve team of the season just closed held a very unique position on the campus. Practically the whole squad was composed of Freshmen and from their excellent string of victories we have much to anticipate for the future. When a team can play as consistently as did our reserves and when it can show improvement over each preceding game, as they did, there is no doubt in the minds of Hopeites that two or three seasons hence will see another championship five wearing the Orange and Blue cavorting on Michigan college courts. With three or four first year men as reserves on the varsity and a whole squad of capable basketeers on the "scrubs" it is no small wonder that Coach "Jack" grins when the prospects for the next few years are discussed. Just you watch the 1926 Reserves!

Drama Class Play It was a happy thought of Doctor Dimnent to advance the status of the "Dramatic Club" to that of a regular "Drama Class" with curricular credit. The plays presented last year and this prove the ability of the students to study the technique of the drama, to analyze character, and then to put their studies into practice by assuming roles and working out their own interpretations, instead of merely accepting the directions of a coach. The play given the fourth and fifth of February, was the popular success, "The Goose Hangs H i g h " by Lewis Beach, based on the old saying, "Everything is lovely and the goose honks high", to indicate fair weather and favorable conditions. The purpose of the play is to show that, in spite of all the unfavorable criticism of the youth of today, and their apparent frivolities, they are still right at heart, and ready to show their appreciation of what their parents have done for them, as well as to help in time of need. The most difficult roles were those of the father and mother, played by Cornelius Hospers and Carol Van Hartesveldt; the liveliest action was demonstrated by the twins, Ruth Hyma and Jack Soeter: and the sentimental parts were ably sustained by Florence Dulmes and James Ver Meulen. Elizabeth Moir as "Granny", represented very cleverly the conservative element, seconded by Ruth Nibbelink as "Cousin Julia", who had kept her son "Ronald", Roy Nattress, at home. George Damson and James Galman were typical politicians, and Harriet Vanderbush, Albert Schaafsma, and Carl Bovenkerk rounded out this excellent cast, with the result that, as one of the Alumni phrased it: "No better acting was ever done on the Carnegie stage."

We, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Six, on the suggestion of the head of our English Department, resolved to present in a pageant the glorious past of Hope College in commemoration of her sixtieth anniversary. The Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Six graduates in a memorable year. It is the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the eightieth year since the first settlement in the city of Holland and the sixtieth anniversary of the founding of Hope College. At a meeting of the class to formulate plans for producing a festival which would celebrate these events. Miss Lois Brockmeier was chosen to write a book of words for a pageant. Paul Gebhard was selected for Business Manager; Cornelius Hospers was chosen the Manager of Properties: and Frederick Olert was elected General Director. John L. Kollen, the Director of the Orchestra, composed and will conduct the music. With this executive committee, supplemented by a helpful committee of the faculty, the work of making a pageant began. With whatever success our pageant will be crowned, let it be known that the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Six does not wish to present a pageant for mere spectacular show. We act, not from a pardonable pride in the ability of our class to produce a successful historical pageant; but there is in the heart depths of the class members a glow of love for our Alma Mater and a patriotic pride in the achievements of the past. With deepest reverence we dedicate the Pageant of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Six to the glory of Hope.

There is a land, America Far, f a r across the sea Where we who journey may find rest. And build new homes, divinely blest. With sweetest liberty. 3. Beloved friends, refrain thy tears.

W h a t say you, my men? M en: Dr. Van Raalte, you can't beat the Dutch! (All seize axes, and, swinging them, sing the following song.) 1. Dutchmen are we From the old country, Where we conquered the sea, For you can't beat the Dutch! Refrain: Swing away ax, O never relax, 'Till wood is as wax. For you can't beat the Dutch! 2.

Swirling and rushing our torrents in spring time, Little we care for the crops you have planted. Breathless and empty the hot fields in summer, When, in our pleasure, our power is withholden. Men, what art thou? W e defy thee! Dr. Van Raalte: O Spirits dire, we come of sturdy stock For centuries your power we have crushed. But who are these,â&#x20AC;&#x201D;more genii come to taunt ? ( E n t e r the genii of the cold. Girls in white.) Genius of the Cold: Spirits of cold, Cruel and bold. Chilling the soul with our ice breath. Tremble and quail, O mortal frail. Think of the winter's long, shuddering death! Dr. Van Raalte: Never can ye fright us, Spirits of the Cold. Within our homes, we'll keep the hearth-fires bright. Within our hearts, the love of God will glow. ( E n t e r the genii of the wilderness. Girls dressed in autumnal colors.) Genius
of the Wilderness: H o w darest thou to come within these trackless woods, To venture 'mong these silent hills; dost thou not know That these are ours alone ? Be gone!

T h a t is my pleasure. Beware! Malaria: I am the Spirit of wasting Malaria, Ling'ring, insidious bringer of death. Slowly I sap out the spirit and vigor Until the grim end. (A blinding flash of lightning follows, and a voice in the distance cries out.) Hilcha, T am the Lightning. ( I n the distance is heard a peal of thunder and a voice as from a sepulchre cries out.) Wulgudu, I am the Thunder. (Another flash of lightning follows and Death enters. He comes in through the rear entrance, walks between the elements, and comes up to Dr. Van Raalte. Dr. Van Raalte hides his face, overcome by the gruesome figure.) Death: These are my cohorts, and I am Death. Thou art but human. Dost thou defy me? Dr. Van Raalte: 0 Spirits, get you gone; I fear you not! Such dangers are but tools of Providence T o build a character. O Death, e'en thee 1 now defy. Be gone ! Death (after
a moment's
pause):

People of Holland: O here, O here is the city of Holland! O here, O here, can't you see? Mid maple and birch, Log houses and church Stands the new little settlement city! Newcomers: Can this, can this be the city of Holland? Can this, can this be the City? W h y did we expose O u r fine city clothes For what is not even a city? People of Holland: O this, O this is the city of Holland, A new, a new little city. W h a t did you suppose W h e n you put on your clothes? But they're not too good for our city! Newcomers: So this, so this is the City of Holland, These little log houses we see! But we must at least stay For one little day. In this queer little settlement city!

H I S T O R Y OF H O P E COLLEGE.
The history of Hope College is a glorious history, begun by that brave band of Dutch who left their native land, October 2, 1846, and settled the following spring on the banks of Black Lake. Dissatisfied because provisions were made only for elementary education, they longed for an institution of higher learning where their children might be taught the fundamentals of culture and religion, and where ministers and missionaries of the Gospel might be trained. The first institution of higher learning that the people of Holland founded was the Academy, established in 1851. This amounted to merely a Latin class, added to the regular elementary school taught by Mr. Taylor and his two daughters. Nevertheless, Dr. Van Raalte said of it, "This is my Anchor of Hope f o r my people in the f u t u r e . " In 1853 the Academy was separated from the public school and put under the care of the Board of Education of the General Synod. Because there was neither building nor equipment, Mr. John Van Vleck held bis class first in the second story of the public school building and later in the orphanage. Mr. Van Vleck was the successor of Mr. Taylor after the one intervening year of service by the Reverend Mr. Beidler. Both Mr. Taylor and Mr. Van Vleck were men of extreme devotion to their work in the school, sacrificing to its cause, health and salary.
Page One Hundred
Seventy-five
To get the means to build an institution was a difficult matter to the "colonists". Dr. Van Raalte in his zeal donated five acres of ground. Money was not so easily obtained. A f t e r a great effort, however, twelve thousand dollars was raised with which a commodious building was erected, named Van \ leek Hall. "It had quarters for the Principal's family and dormitories for the young men, besides the necessary rooms for class and administrative purposes, and until the close of the century was the most important building on the campus." A f t e r the resignation of Mr. John Van Vleck, in 1859, the Reverend Mr. Philip Phelps of Hudson-on-the-Hudson was appointed to the position of principal. It was through his earnest, tireless efforts that the struggling little academy became a collegiate institution. In 1862 he enrolled graduates of the Academy as a Freshman college class. Co-operating with him, the Synod of Chicago entered upon a campaign to raise eighty-five thousand dollars for the development of the school. The solitary teaching responsibility was further more relieved by the addition of three worthy instructors. Thus it came about that in the golden year, 1866, the school was incorporated as a college under the laws of the State of Michigan. In these memorable days. Dr. Phelps was made first president of Hope College. In this year occurred the first College Commencement, on July 14, 1866. Sixty years have now passed. Sixty years of progress as shown by the enlargement of the campus, the construction of many buildings, the increased size of the faculty, and the swelling numbers of the student body. It has been sixty years of achievement as shown by the record of Hope College in the field of scholarship, of oratory, of forensics, of music, and of athletics. It has been sixty years ripe in the fulfillment of the highest aims of its founders, as shown by the character of the body of graduates who have gone into the world to serve and uplift mankind. The past of Hope is a challenge to its future, a future bright with the dawn of promise! ( A f t e r the voice has concluded the above interpretation. Queen NineteenHundred Twenty-six rises to speak.) Queen Nineteen-Hundrcd-Twenty-six: Spirit of History, who holds the past, Written in words of tested truth, 1 rise To thank thee and my Maid and Memories W h o brought thee forth. Hope College should rejoiceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; This record radiates the future's dawn. 'Tis marvelous. ( T h e Spirit of Hope College suddenly appears.) Spirit of Hope College : Hope College does rejoice! Queen Nineteen-Hundred-Twenty-six But who art thou?

Spirit of Hope College'. T i s I, The Spirit of Hope College, and I come T o verify this record. It is true. Queen
Nineteen-Hundred-Twenty-six: I am assured of it. But how dids't thou So suddenly appear ?
Spirit of Hope: O gentle queen, I am a spirit. Ever I abide Upon this campus. This bright torch, I hold. Continually pours forth its lustrous light. Though I am o f t unseen. Invisible, I here have witnessed all the livelong eve This celebration of thy noble maids, Which honor thee. O lovely queen, I too Would add to these festivities. Would'st thou Permit me now to summon on review All the departments and activities Of which Hope College boasts? Queen
Nineteen-Hundred-Tiventy-six: Right instantly. Sweet Spirit, call them forth for we acclaim All those that bear the proud insignia Of peerless Hope.
(There marches by a procession of Hope College students, representing the departments and activities of the college. They are singing "The Orange and Blue". A f t e r all have passed the Queen rises to speak.) Queen
Nineteen-Hundred-Tiventy-six: O Spirit of Hope College, who imparts The flame that feeds and burns in these young souls That here marched by, I would send heralds forth To summon all the peoples of the world To speak their fondest gratitude and love. And crown thee with the leaves of victory.
( T h e Queen ends out heralds. The people of the world come bearing laurels, and with fitting ceremony they crown the victorious Spirit of Hope College. The Spirit of Hope College then speaks.) Spirit of Hope College: O gracious Queen, sweet Nineteen Twenty-Six, And Father Time, and peoples of the world.

No words of human speech can paint my joy Its color is too bright and beautiful To reproduce, but in the days to come, Mindful of this, I shall more zealously Press on into the future. Queen Nineteen-Hundred-Twenty-six: Press ever on, Hope Spirit, and keep bright Thy flaming torch. Illuminate the earth By service, knowledge, and the love of God, And so, O radiant one, press on. But now The time has come to close festivities. My maids-of-honor, very worthily Did ye commemorate those famous years Of which ye are the anniversaries, And royally dids't honor me, the queen. O massive throng, who witnessed what my maids Brought forth this eve, have ye at all been moved With pride of fatherland, when ye beheld The days that made those struggling colonies A land of promise to the sturdy Dutch, W h o in their new-made Holland kindled bright The torch which Hope's fair spirit holdeth high To light the world? If then thou art so moved. Before thou goest on thy homeward way Join heart in song, and sing America. (All spectators join in singing America in the Hope College way.)

Minerva Society 1 he Minerva Society is the oldest of the girls' societies now existing upon the campus. It was founded in 1896. It has struggled to learn true wisdom and has given every Minervite the beauty of true friendship. It is an answer to all desires. In our hearts are enshrined Love, 1 ruth. Leadership and Friendship. May our lives ring with Honor and Love when we happily sing: 'Minerva to thee ive will ever be true, We will love thee till death do us part, IVe will honor thy name, we will e'er spread thy fame O Minerva, so dear to our hearts."

Meliphone Society To tlie sixty-seven years of Meliphone's existence upon Hope's campus there has been added another which may truly be said to be one of great success. Meliphone lays claim to being one of the oldest literary societies in Western Michigan. People admire the type of men that it sends forth. This society is not merely of local repute, it has its members in all parts of the world. The weekly meetings are a source of inspiration and help to all its members. One of the largest and most attractive events is the staging of the annual play which is looked forward to by the community as a whole. The joint meetings of the Meliphone and Minerva societies add to the spirit and the fellowship of the Preparatory School. Thus Meliphone boasts of its illustrious past and foresees a glorious future.

Baseball, 1925 The Preparatory Baseball team surprised everyone this year.
With much
untrained material, Coaches Schouten and Veldman succeeded in placing a strong team on the field. The students showed their interest by attending both home games and those played out of town.
The biggest game of the year was
with Zeeland when our team was victorious in a hard fought contest. High and Hudsonville were soon added to the list of victories.
Christian
At a return game
with Hudsonville the team suffered its only defeat in being nosed out by one run. Next year's team will find five regulars in the line-up, and has all promises for a banner year.

Each year the call is given for new players, but this
year many responded and two teams were formed from which the best men were selected.
Among the teams played were Jamestown Reserves, Christian High
Reserves, Zeeland Reserves and the National Guards.
The team suffered defeats
at Jamestown and Christian High, but succeeded in defeating Zeeland by one point.

Our spirit is not dead, but wholesome and enthusiastic.
Proximity and association with college men and women we count as salubrious. O u r literary organizations are prosperous.

This we
know, that success depends upon ourselves largely, and to this end we labor. Soon we shall be scattered to the four winds and here we are laying within ourselves that which will prevent our being scattered by the winds. Nor have we an apology to offer for the future. On the contrary our faith is strong, and what or who can resist faith ? Our institution has a place and that a unique one to fill. It shall be our aim to maintain the good of the past, add to it a star or two, and hand it down to our successors with the sincere hope and wish that they may cherish as we have done and are doing the blessings of Hope Preparatory School.

W E S T E R N THEOLOGICAL S E M I N A R Y
Greetings from The Seminary In the spirit of Christian fellowship and communal interest Western Theological Seminary extends its greetings to the student body of Hope. The bonds between Western and Hope have always been those of Christian brotherhood and fellowship; so closely have they been bound together, that many, who are not properly informed, consider them not as two separate institutions as they really are, but as one. However mistaken this notion may be, it does bear witness to the fact of our complete agreement and unity of spirit. This is as it should be. Though we of the seminary are taking up specialized work for service in the kingdom of Christ, we feel in our associations with the friends across the way that the same Christian spirit and purpose is predominant among them, as here among us. So f a r as Spirit is concerned we are absolutely one. Hope's spirit seems to be contagious. This is evident in a special sense to those of us who have taken our work preparatory to entering Western, at other colleges. Before entering Western we had very little, if any, feeling for Hope, naturally we couldn't have, but it didn't take much time to win us over to a w a r m friendship for, and a feeling of identity with, the students across the way. Again let us assure you of our deeply felt interest in and for you. W e are all happy to be here at Western, and not least among the reasons for that is the fact that Western links itself so closely with the spirit, name, and fame of Hope.

Why Become a Minister? By
THE REV. J O H N
E.
KUIZENGA
Why indeed?—There are those who look upon the ministry as about the last job a live young man would choose. Have they thought the matter out carefully to come to such a conclusion? It does not seem so to me. T H E CHALLENGE OF A HARD T A S K . The real minister faces work that will call for every power of his whole self. Oratory—be it remembered the minister preaches over a hundred sermons every year, and has innumerable opportunities to speak in addition—oratory calls for the highest self discipline and self control. The minister has as much opportunity to teach as most teachers. The organizing and directing of a church calls for considerable administrative ability. The minister must meet all professions and all types of humanity on a footing where he must maintain respect for himself and for his office. W e talk familiarly these days of a "big job", and the ministry is such, particularly now when some doubt its place. T H E CHALLENGE OF A NECESSARY T A S K . In a sense all the professions and trades that are honorable are necessary: but the ministry is most necessary of all. President Coolidge has recently said that legislatures and congresses cannot create the spirit that will make their laws effective. The real spirit that gives the laws power and cohesion to society comes from religion. The legal profession is to-day helpless before the wave of crime, unless one wishes to read against it a sharper indictment. Babson has only recently said again and again that religion holds industry together. O u r higher education, even, somehow does not succeed in making us a nation of moral and spiritual power. Religion alone has the dynamic needed, and it was the ideal of Jesus that religion should be mediated by special "men of God", who should also be to mankind the heralds of the gospel of salvation. T H E CHALLENGE OF A GREAT T A S K . The tragedies and triumphs supreme of humanity are the tragedies and triumphs of individual humans. The minister has a chance to be a true "friend to man". He may do more for individuals than any other. Healing of the body is needed—but what is it without healing of the spirit? Enlightenment, science, education, how much they are needed, but whither shall they tend? Industry is needed so there may be a chance to earn and accumulate wealth—but what shall we do with it? Does wealth make individual or nation great? Accepting all these as needed, and honoring every true worker who does his own work for humanity well, yet it is true that all these are less than nothing unless men are spiritually right with God. In season and out of season, in public and in private, this is the minister's great work, "we beseech you therefore in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God." So he comes close to young and old, he shares their joys and sorrows, and tastes the finest joy on earth when he leads men in the way they should go. "Unskillful he to fawn, or seek f o r power By doctrines fashioned to the varrying h o u r ; F a r other aims his heart had learned to prize—• More bent to raise the wretched than to rise." "But in his duty, prompt at every call H e watched and wept, he prayed and felt for a l l ; And, as a bird each fond endearment tries T o tempt its new-fledged offspring to the skies, H e tried each art, reproved each dull delay. Allured to brighter worlds, and led the way."
Men may count themselves unworthy to enter the ministry. count themselves too great.

Sweet and low, Johnny told of his business and his ideals. Demure Mary Anne, drinking all in, leaned closer toward him. But just as her eyes came to a sweet level with Johnny's, something snapped.
