Seniors The Class of '27 soon leaves the harbor of its Alma Mater to sail out upon the sea of experience. As we recall the happy memories of these four years of preparation for this voyage we realize what Hope really means; we have enjojed a wonderful fellowship which we shall ever remember and cherish. As we sail out into the vast unknown, Hope's ideals and aims will guide us onward and upward. We shall not feel alone because we shall always be Hopeites. May she ever uphold those principles for which we so dearly love her! ' "The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord cause his face to shine upon you and give you peace." O F F I C E R S

: Hope College Members of the Junior Class The play is the tragic-comic drama of college life. SCENE I. - 1 9 2 5 . From all parts of the earth have come the boys and girls who assemble at Hope College to form the "Class of '28". PLACE
CHARACTERS:
A few have dropped out; those who remain seem older and wiser. "The greatest fault", I should say, "is to be conscious of none but other peoples'."
S C E N E 11. - 1 9 2 6 .
SCENE
HI. - 1927. They have learned to love Hope; they have entered into the spirit of Hope, and are prominent in every department of college life. (a prophecy) They must bid farewell to each other and to their Alma Mater. They are sad, and wonder what use, what use of life? "That you are here. That life exists. That the powerful play goes on, and' you may contribute a verse."

In M e m o r i a m WILLIAM KLEIN D u r i n g the past summer, H o p e and the Junior Class suffered a sad blow when William Klein was killed by a P a r e Marquette train. In the two short years that Bill was on the campus he had endeared himself to all with whom he had come in contact by his genial disposition and sunny smile. T h e tragic accident camc as a complete shock and his death was sincerely mourned by all. Bill has gone on, but we will long remember him as a true friend and a loyal Hopeite.
FRANCES REINHART Once more the Master's voice has sounded and summoned home another of our classmates, F ranees Reinhart. She was forced to discontinue her studies on account of illness, and returned to her home in A r c h e r , Iowa, f o r a rest with the hope that she would continue her school work the following year. A few weeks later the student body received word of her death. T o those who have known Frances, she will always be remembered by her quiet, unassuming ways, her f a i t h f u l n e s s in p e r f o r m i n g duties, and her eagerness t o serve Christ. H e r ability and diligence in study and her part as a member of the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet are living testimonies of her short life on the campus. Indeed, we found in her an example of purity and righteousness.
CORNELIUS TEN
PAS
On Sept. IS, 1926, the cold hand of death saw fit to call f r o m our student body a beloved and f a i t h f u l student in the person of Cornelius Ten Pas of Clymer, N e w York. T h e least that can be said of Cornelius was that he was a diligent student and a loyal Hopeite. H e -was highly thought of by the faculty, and loved by his fellow students. H e took an active part in the various activities of the college and above all he was deemed worthy to serve on the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet. W i t h these thoughts we commit Cornelius to the E t e r n a l rest in the Saviour, hoping in due time to meet him beyond the great divide where peace and joy shall reign sublime.

Sophomore Class "Hats off! Rise up and give three cheers for the Class of '29." The large and enthusiastic Sophomore Class, has contributed a great deal to our Alma Mater. Yes, sir! It has given talent of every description; athletics, oratory, debating, music, and scholarship, all have been enriched by the local cooperative spirit of the class. Thanks to the iron hand of the Sophomore Class which has given so much to the football and basketball teams; thanks to the many who have held high the banner of oratory and debating; musical ability and scholarship are qualities which have also been held high by the standards of the class. Two years of its life span have already been run, showing great accomplishments. May the Sophomore Class ever aspire to hold high this banner of victory that when the day of its departure from Hope College comes, the glowing rays of the setting sun may reveal the one great word ictory."

T h e Glass of 1930 Another school year has passed and once more our interest is drawn to the tall sturdy tree which represents Hope College. The roots of the tree are the standards and principles which have made Hope so great and will continue to make it greater. The trunk of the tree is the generations of the men and women who support Hope by their sacrifices and efforts. The limbs represent the courses of study given at Hope and they lift their branches higher and higher toward greater achievement. In spite of rain and winds most of the branches are laden with fruits of accomplishment. While many of the branches have finished their growth and are distributing their fruits among man. there are three branches which are now in blossom. But do you notice the young branch whose buds are just bursting open? It represents the largest class which has ever entered Hope -—the class which is well represented in all school activities and goes into them with a wonderful class and school spirit. Let us watch this class as its buds unfold and bring forth many fruits of achievement and service. It is the class of 1930! OFFICERS

God, dear God, I wish I were a song— Deep-throated, full, impassioned melody Of sound, that swells in full-toned harmony, A great crescendo on a human harp, That thrills the air with liquid heart-beats, fraught With gladness, love, and beauty, hope and trust. To make the strongs of human nature swing And sway, and vibrate to the paean wild; That crashes unchecked through their understanding. Until it sinks again, more sadly, to A whisper, falters, dies. And leaves behind A memory, of exquisite beauty. God, dear, God, 1 wish I were a song! — I . M. N . ' 2 8

Views Around Our Campus and in Our City

The Anchor In this world it is not the just who sleep; it is the irresponsible" So for a year we members of the Anchor Staff have slept little and have taken our responsibilities more or less seriously. Into this publication we have poured our efforts, oui time, and our ideas, with but a brief respite when the underclassmen took matters into their hands and displayed considerable journalistic ability. 1 he Anchor appears faithfully every Wednesday, and every week there are some who approve, some who laugh, some who are set to thinking, and many who criticize. We like approval, of course, and we are thankful for constructive criticism; but what we like best to think is that almost everyone reads the Anchor, and that no matter what their reaction to it may be there would be a void in our student life if there were no student paper. And we can truly say that we have done our utmost to accomplish what to us has seemed the purpose of a publication of this kind : We have tried to record in an interesting way all the events in which we as a college are concerned ; We have fostered and sometimes suggested improvements which seem advisable on our campus; Realizing that laughter is necessary for a well-balanced mentality, we have not neglected the humorous for the more serious affairs of life; We have given all students opportunity to air their views, and have enjoyed receiving comments from many ; By keeping in touch with our alumni we have given to the undergraduates glimpses of the great work being done by Hbpe graduates: we hope that to some we have given a vision of the great deeds still to be accomplished; We have tried to rouse a more loyal and enthusiastic school spirit among the studentry by emphasizing athletic contests; I3y recording all the school affairs and the social and personal activities of the students, we have attempted to instill in them a feeling of greater fellowship; We have from time to time printed articles of literary merit written by our fellow students; And we hope that we have advertised our college favorably to other schools and to everyone interested in Hope College. Although we have, humanly, failed to realize our highest ideals, we hope and feel that the Anchor is playing a part, in our school life, that is growing steadily larger. T H E

Milestone Superstitious!
Are we superstitious?
A survey of the annuals edited by previous classes reveals that we, the class of 1928, are editing the thirteenth. Each of the previous twelve vied with those preceding to set up for its Alma Mater the most vivid M I L E S T O N E . And each class has succeeded. For has not every year found Hope passing a new milestone on the road of Success? Might not our "lucky thirteen" inspire us to realize the same desire? But no, although it did not hinder us, the Spirit of Hope alone could be our real incentive. This Spirit that is spurring us on is the same Spirit of Hope that prompted sturdy settlers to brave unknown dangers and hardships, that instilled in them the desire for learning which made possible our Alma Mater. It pervades oui campus urging us on to meet both difficulty and opportunity with a steadfast will, to stand for the .noblest and purest manhood and womanhood. During the past year, it saw the college celebrate the 60th anniversary of its founding, complete plans for a beautiful memorial chapel, and enter upon a new athletic venture, the M. I. A. A. Silently, it has watched while numerous laurels were awarded in oratory, forensics, and athletics. Victories over selfish desires and ambitions have caused smiles of approbation; defeats have aroused expressions of pity and sympathy. The Spirit of Hope has been a faithful guardian throughout the year. The staff has spent long, wakeful hours that all this might some day be recalled to your memory. All those dear class-mates and teachers, those happy hours when all the world seemed right, those sad hours when the silver lining refused to peep through the dark cloud,—If some day in the struggle for success, a look at this M I L E S T O N E brings back with a warm glow tender memories of our Alma Mater, the staff of 1928 will feel amply repaid.

Y . M . C. A . "Forgetting those tilings that are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before—" The faults and mistakes of the past, we have buried, and would have them remain behind. They have served their purpose by being stepping-stones to present and future success. The achievements and activities of the past year we put down for Christ. "But God forbid that we should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ—". We put them for the information of others. "Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others". We put them down for ourselves ; as aims to be secured, as prizes to be gained. "We press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus". In the beginning of the year the "Y" endeavors to make the students "feelat-home", and throughout the year a "Y" man secures student employment for the merchants and townspeople. Each year the "Y" with the aid of the Y. W. C. A., the Faculty and the Student Body have supported financially, Hope Hostel, a branch of Hope High School in India. During week-ends and vacation periods, Gospel Teams are sent out. Also this year, besides supplying substitute Sunday School teachers in the local churches, the "Y", assisted by the Y. W. C. A., maintained three Sunday Schools in the outlying districts of the city. Then, too, the Hi-Y conference at Jackson was partially supplied with discussion leaders from our group. An innovation this year was the "retreat", which the Cabinet experienced preparatory to our Annual Week of Prayer. The Week of Prayer, conducted by Dr. Robert P. Wilder, one of the founders of the Student Volunteer Movement, was a great spiritual blessing. The heart of the Y. M. C. A. is the Tuesday evening prayer meetings. Here the Christian spirit upon the campus is seen at its best and from here arises many a resolve to live a larger and better life in the Master. 1 he cabinet, consisting of thirteen men, is the machinery of the "Y". This group meets every Monday evening for the purpose of discussing student problems and transacting the business of the Association.

Y . W . G. A . What would the girls of Hope College do without the Y. W. C. A.? Each one of them would feel that something precious and very worthwhile was lacking in her life. Mow eagerly we look forward to that one golden hour on Thursday evening of each week, when we meet together to worship God in peace and reverence. "Come ye apart and rest awhile"—that's what "Y" means to every active member. Amid the rush and confusion of school life, all duties are laid aside so that our souls may be refreshed with spiritual blessings. '1 he \ . W. C. A. affords happy fellowship with all of the girls on the campus. It is there that we feel each other's need and we share together our joys and sorrows in the true bond of friendship. Recreation, too, has its part in the program. What fun and pleasure of a wholesome kind we have had at the Annual Beach Parties and the many Gettogether Parties! The Y. W. C. A. means service too—not only the smaller services here on the campus, but the larger services which reach beyond these limits. The Christmas boxes which we send to the children in the Mission Schools give them a taste of the real Christmas joys. The Gospel Teams, visiting the different Churches and towns, try to bring the Spirit of Christ into the lives of many people. We have caught a glimpse of "The Gleam" right here on Hope's Campus and now we are trying to send the glimmers on to make others happy too. The Y. W. C. A. means the best that there is on our Campus. In "Y" we learn to find ourselves, our friends, and God. The aim of the Y. W. C. A. is to make Jesus Christ our Personal Friend. Following closely our Master, we will become better women—finer, purer, nobler. Then, like the golden sunlight which casts its cheerful rays about us, we, the Young Women's Christian Association, ma}' shine too and teach others about that "Greatest l-ight" and "Source of all joy".

T h e Student Council The Student Council, as a representative group of the entire student body, has carried out many duties, and many are still being carried on, as the occasion arises. The Council is composed of nine members: two Seniors, besides the president of the Senior Class, who automatically becomes the president of the Student Council; two Juniors; two Sophomores; and two Freshmen. These members are elected by their respective classes at the beginning of each school year. Meetings are held every two weeks and special sessions are called by the president. The Student Council functions as an organized representative group, whose duty is to promote all student activities. In that capacity the Council takes charge of the annual Tug of War, the Freshmen Rules, Cap Night, the Honor Code, and the Point System. The Point System has been somewhat revised and, after a student vote, the Honor Code has again been retained. '1 he Oratorical and Debating Leagues are also entirely financed through the Council. The Cooperation given by the student body is commendable and is greatly appreciated by the Student Council. OFFICERS

Men's Gospel Team T h e work of the Y. M. C. A. of our College through the medium of the Gospel Team has been very satisfactory (luring its recent work in the outlying districts of Holland. Although no definite statement can he made on such a work as can be on most any other, we feel that we have not failed and that the Master has guided us through all our difficulties and exploits in such a vital and personal work among the youth of our day. W e can, however, say that encouraging reports have come in through our kind friend and solicitor M r . Metzger of the (irand Rapids Y. M. C. A.—that he has seen marked changes in communities that we have visited and feels that the young people have been stirred up to thinking about the higher and better things of life, if not to the acceptance of a life in the L o r d Jesus. O u r trips have involved a goodly number of services for the Sunday School, Christian Endeavor, and Church in general, in which rich experiences were gotten by both friends and team members alike. Sunday trips were made to 1 ludsonville, Hamilton, W e s t Olive, Ninth Reformed Church, Central R e f o r m e d Church, Immanuel R e f o r m e d Church of Grand Rapids, Second Reformed Church of Kalamazoo, Grandville, and East Overisel; and regular week-end trips were made to Kent City, Sand Lake, Byron Center, and Comstock P a r k with John Moedt, Take Kik, Bob Ritchie, and Pete DeRuiter, respectively as leaders.

W o m e n ' s Gospel T e a m "The Young Women's Christian Association of Hope College affirming the Christian faith in God declares its purpose to be; To influence students to devote themselves, in united effort and with all Christians, to making the will of Christ effective in human society, and to extend the Kingdom of God throughout the world." Our community contacts group has adopted this purpose as a particularly suitable goal for its efforts. The universal aim of the Gospel teams is to reach High School girls in the small community. As a preliminary step we attempt to establish a feeling of comradeship. By means of this social contact the team proceeds to the more delicate step of ascertaining the aspirations and ideals of the girls. When good fellowship reigns supreme and the trust of the girls has been secured it is not a difficult task to give them a new conception of life and its vast opportunities. The girls of the teams have reached the realization that true greatness consists in true magnanimity. Only as we see these High School girls as our sisters, can we attain our goal. "The Holy Supper is kept, indeed In what we share with another's need; Not what we give, but what we share. For the gift without the giver is bare; Who gives himself with his alms feeds three. Himself, his hungering neighbor, and Me."

Student V o l u n t e e r s Forty years ago four men, with the faith and vision of the four of two thousand years ago who brought their sick to the Master, formed the Mission Band out "of which sprang the present Student Volunteer group. For years messengers of Hope have gone out from this Band to "the uttermost parts of the world" with the Gospel tidings and have brought much honor to the name of Hope. The present Band aims at nothing less than the vision of these missionary pioneers, and, to that end, they have carried out an extensive program which makes the members able to better cope with the problems of the foreign field. Further, they have tried to permeate the missionary spirit throughout the surrounding communities by means of deputation work. The Volunteer with the watchword "The Evangelization of the World in This Generation goes forth to prove that: "In Christ there is no East or West, In Him no South or North. But one great fellowship of love Throughout the whole wide earth." OFFICERS President

Home Volunteers W e have surrendered our lives for the cause of Christ, and have in view the Gospel Ministry. Since we are preparing f o r such a great work, and for a task with a tremendous responsibility, we feel the need of an organization where we can meet each week to discuss some problems that we shall undoubtedly meet in the future. W e believe in fellowship with those who have an interest in our cause, and are banded together in order to prepare ourselves for Christian Service. O u r meetings have been helpful and interesting. T h e hour that has been set aside each week, to meditate upon the things of the future, has not been spent in vain. It has deepened our spiritual life; it has given us courage to go f o r w a r d ; and it has strengthened our calling. W e realize that we cannot succeed in our own strength, but that we must at all times have faith in God. May H e strengthen and guide us, so that we shall be triumphant in our work.

The Pre-Medic Club During the last few years, the Pre-Medic Club has been successful in fostering the interests of medicine in the college, especially in the Biology Department. The club was organized to promote good fellowship among those students who are interested in science. 1 he regular programs consist of papers on some phase of medicine, a f t e r which, informal discussions are held. Each year seveial visits are made to the larger hospitals in W e s t e r n Michigan to familiarize the personnel of the society with various phases of hospital work. During the last year the club has been fortunate in being able to attend meetings of the O t t a w a County branch of the American Medical Association. Much praise is due to Dr. Patterson for his interest and loyalty to the members of the club.

Science C l u b The study of science is today as never before demanding the whole hearted attention of the rising generation of students. The Science Club of Hope College has for its duty the bringing together of students interested in the advance of science. Student papers as well as addresses by men of repute in the field comprise the programs. The Science Club is different from the other clubs of its kind on the campus. It was organized with the idea in mind that it should take in all the branches of science on the campus. It is therefore the aim of the club to gather together men of varied ambitions, thus giving the club the atmosphere of cosmopolitanism. The heads of the various departments of science have shown interest in the club and have given their whole-hearted support to the project. Candidates for membership must be Juniors who have the required number of credits in the science department and have shown keen interest in the furtherance of science. OFFICERS

I he club is under the leadership of Doctor Van Zyl, who by his active interest and constant guidance has helped the club to prosper and grow. Those students who plan to make Chemistry their profession and show themselves to be capable are eligible for membership.

S. G. A . S. G. A, is an organization of all Senior girls organized for the purpose of getting together, learning to know each other better and enjoying each other s company for the last year at Hope. Some have been here for four years, others for three, and still others for but two. However, the length of time that we have been here, now means little for we are all united in one spirit of fellowship and good will. One night a month we put away our cares and all thought of study for the meeting of S. G. A. Programs, which vary from the joyous to the serious type,, are carefully planned. They are all uplifting especially in a social way. OFFICERS

H o p e K u r f e w K!ub Established tradition has made the Kurfew Klub a vital factor in the Spirit •of the Senior Class and accordingly this organization has been very active during the past year. The Class of 1927 has never shown any dampening of its enthusiasm since its entrance into Hope Activities. It has always tried to attain the highest ideals. This is the main purpose and the outstanding feature of our organization to•gether with the preservation and the upholding of the dignity of Senior men on ihe campus. The K u r f e w Klub has aided greatly to instill into the hearts and consciences of the underclassmen a greater Hope Spirit of Loyalty, Friendship, and Enthusiasm. The Freshmen have been the main object of the efforts and consideration. At each meeting several of our younger Hope brothers were taught the essentials of conduct and their place of service on the campus. At the games the K u r f e w Spirit was very evident. The cheers and the pep •of the members were worthy of the envy displayed by the other classes. It is the sincere desire of the Kurfew Klub of 1927 that their successors •will carry on and uphold the ideals set forth this yeai. President Secretary Treasurer

Girls' Glee C l u b The Hope College Girls' Glee Club with a membership of sixteen girls, has, imder the splendid directorship of Mrs. Fenton attained a remarkable record this year. The club has worked and as a result they can vie with the best clubs in the State. Their training has produced clearest diction, sublime harmony, and almost perfection in ensemble singing. The Club has made a tour through the East, of four weeks duration, singing in New \ o r k Churches and in one of the biggest Churches in Washington, D. C. They were acclaimed everywhere with highest applause and commendations on their fine work. 1 he trip was a very successful one and has brought the East nearer Hope, ihey have created a fine feeling toward the college on the part of the people with whom they have come in contact. Besides these successive concerts in the Eastern Reformed Churches, they have given a home concert, which won them new praise. The Club expects to enter the State Girls' Glee Club Contest again this year, and with Mrs. Fenton's able and very efficient leadership they have high expectations of winning first place.

M e n ' s Glee C l u b The plans made last season for a smaller club have been realized and Hope has in this season's club one which is the best produced since the reorganization three years ago. Many concerts have been booked in the western part of the state, and a concert tour will send the club into the three states surrounding Lake Michigan if plans materialize. The sixteen singers who were carefully chosen from the large group of men who tried for places at the beginning of the present season have already proved that much will be said in praise of the club aftet they ha\e appeared in public. It is the club's aim under Mrs. Fenton's direction, to bring home the state title this year. With all these plans in mind one can easily realize that no time can be lost or wasted in preparation for a successful season. Watch the Men's Glee Club! Director

H a r m o n y Glee C l u b Once again the Hope Harmony Glee Club comes forth as one of our many college activities, in spite of the fact that rumors have been spread, that it would no longer continue as an organization this year, 1 he Club this year is composed of twenty-two members, most of whom are new since some of our original members are not with us this year, and others have been given the opportunity to enter the Girls' Glee Club. Under the supervision of Mrs. Fenton, the club decided to make no public performances or concerts. Its sole aim is entirely centered in training and preparing its new members for future entrance into the Girls' Glee Club. We hope not only to make the club a real success, but to contribute from time to time many splendid voices to the advanced glee club.

The Hope Trumpeters The Hope Trumpet Quartette had its beginning in the year '24-'25. Dr. Dimment, having heard the Gloria Trumpeters in the East, returned with a desire for a similar organization on the Hope College Campus, h or this purpose he generously gave to the College three very line instruments. Much credit is due Miss Margaret Hondelink, the Director of the Quartette. Miss Hondelink, the only girl trumpeter on the campus, took charge of the new venture, and in September, 1925, began to train the other members of the quartette. The Hope Trumpeters made few public appearances during the first year of their organization. During the present year, however, they have played more extensively, providing the music for various meetings and religious services both in Holland and in neighboring towns. In June, two of the trumpeters and the quartette accompanist will be graduated, but others will take their places and the Hope Trumpet Quartette will be an established organization on the campus.

D r a m a Glass P l a y "A Tailor Made Man" by Harry James Smith, has proved to lie a delightful comedy to Hope students and friends. Mrs. Durfee, the coach, has worked faithfully and has again proved that her method of letting each character analyze his own part is not only a great help to the student but also very effective. The story weaves itself about the progressiveness of John Paul Bart,, a tailor's apprentice, in the shop of Mr. Huber. Here we find him intimately connected with Tanya, Mr. Huber's daughter, and Dr. Sonntag. Through pecular circumstances he comes in contact with Mr. Nathan, a financier, at a reception held at the Stanlaw residence. His popularity is phenomenal, yet not to his credit. His appointment as Mr. Nathan's secretary follows. However, his disguise is soon known. H e confesses all and returns to the 1 ailor Shop. But ambition must be rewarded and a conventional ending must follow, consequently he is appointed to the chair of the Profit Sharing Department of Nathan's Corporation. Excellent acting on the part of Raymond Smith as the"Tailor-Made Man", a correct portrayal of Tanya by Madge Rooks and a very dramatic cast cooperating with the leading actors insured a successful presentation.

"Sigma—Sigma's light shall ever shine to light us on our way" is the sentiment of every Sorosite. We are proud to stand beneath the golden crescent set with its pearls of friendship, that for twenty-one years has held high the ideals of Strength and Honor. Every girl will agree that society life broadens one's outlook and helps equip one for her "sail upon life's sea". That friendships formed in the close contact of society life will last through the years. These things we believe that Sorosis gives to us and it is with this belief that we sing from our hearts;— "Lead us on and ever onward Cresccnt banner—Star

Delphi
All Hail Delphi! "Happiest hours of College life we have spent together, friendships formed in Delphi's name, time can never sever". A, friend is one who sees something in another that she admires or loves and offers to that other the dear and sacred devotion of her heart. Such friends we form in our beloved Delphi Circle. "sis with mysterious pozver the magnet binds Iron zuith iron; so do kindred aims unite the soul". The purpose of Delphi is to train for the future, that in later life when we look back on Delphi we will believe, "It was good for us to have been there". Delphi prepares memories for future use. Every meeting brings treasures worth remembering. Memories of Delphi render to us the beautiful service of linking us to the past, giving us wisdom to use in the present thereby guiding us and making our future. With the ideals of Honor, Faith, Loyalty, Service and Love, we forever strive for a nobler and purer womanhood. OFFICERS

Sibylline Society
"Friendship. love, and fellowship, kind and true, Make our love for Sibylline evet new." Sibylline has inspired its members with worthy ideals of the life abundant, the enrichment of the mind, and the sanctificahon of the spirit. Guided by the spirit of Sibylline, each Sibyl has given her choicest efforts in achievements for Sibylline and for her Alma Mater. Thus, we feel that the spirit of Sibylline has led us into a deeper appreciation of the spirit of Hope. We have experienced great joy in the companionship of those united by common interests and aspirations. Bound together by the search for knowledge, for appreciation of the beautiful in the world, and for the development of complete and well-rounded lives, we have worked together seeking the fulfillment of our ideals. Many and true are the friendships we have formed, and many and glorious are the good times we have had while thus earnestly striving together for Sibylline and Hope.

F r a t e r n a l Society
Ninety-three years of Fraternal achievement has been inscribed on the scroll of history. Hundreds of men have gone into life, better fitted to meet the victories and defeats, because they too have received the F. S. Spirit. It is this F. S. Spirit; this spirit of Love, Friendship, and Truth which has to such a great extent ennobled our college friendships. But we hold in reverence the memory of those who in 1834 laid upon solid rock the foundations of this league of moral and intellectual friendship. Truly, they were men "who wrought with greatest care each minute and unseen part". With these thoughts of the past creeping into our minds; the heart of every Frater beats a little faster as he looks forward to the Centennial of F. S. to be celebrated in 1934. Holding such ideals uppermost in our mind, we pray that the future may lend an enduring esteem to friendship, that new laurels may be won for our Alma Mater and that the Kingdom of God may be advanced in the world, 1 he glorious past challenges us to a life of greater service in the future.

Cosmopolitan Society
1 he ambitious student eagerly works out his education so as to fit himself f o r a f u t u r e profession. H e selects his curriculum in order to be particularly prepared f o r his life's work. A f t e r diligent study he considers himself intellectually qualified for his definite purpose. Yet in the estimation of the late President Roosevelt, this preparation would not develop a well balanced personality. Roosevelt suggested, as an ideal character, the four-square manâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;physical, moral, mental and spiritual. The Cosmopolitan Society puts forth these ideals in her influence upon men. Cosmos endeavors to establish these qualities as realities in the lives of every individual. Men have gone f r o m her with these principles which have made them better equipped for life's tasks. May the torch of Cosmos ever continue to illumine the path of those who come under its radiance by its beams of Friendship, T r u t h and Progress.

Addison Society
As in reflection we review the past achievements of our Society and look upon the design already woven in the Tapestry of Time, unfading and unchangeable, we are conscious of the greatness of the task yet before us. We aim to create, with the woof of the future woven into the warp of the past, a still more excellent design for the glorification of our Alma Mater and the betterment of our individual lives. To attain this ideal design of life, we would employ the ideals of Joseph Addison, embodied in his motto: "To enliven morality until wit, And temper zvit with morality." "If you zvish success in life, make Perseverance your bosom friend, Experience your wise counsellor. Caution your elder brother, and Hope your guardian genius." OFFICERS

Dickensian Society
Hail! to the Black and Orange! Another year has passed and we look back with pleasure on the joys of the past made possible by Dickensian! More progress has been made in social, intellectual, moral, and literary development for which we strive. But still, not blinded by the victories of the past, we work our way forward along the road of Loyalty. It is our aim to be loyal always to our school, country, and fellow-men. Friendship too is our ideal. That friendship which can mould two souls into one and is the greatest blessing to mankind, we continually seek to acquire and maintain.

And seeing sin, in seeing, pardon me, I thank Thee, Lord. This, Lord, I pray: As pure Thou brought'st me to this world, Pure as the tend'rest fern half curl'd, Fresh as the greenest leaf unfurl'd In early May; Pure as I came may I return to thee, Fresh as the morn when Thou first cam'st to me.

DR. JOHN B. NYKERK
Oratory For a period of nearly twenty-five years, Dr. John Nykerk has distinguished himself by placing before the oratorical public, speakers of the highest caliber. During that time he has brought back to his Alma Mater more high point honors than any other coach in the Michigan Oratorical League. Three times national honors have come to Hope College as a result of Dr. Nykerk's coaching. In a period of eleven years, seven men have finished first for our college while in the women's contest a record of five first place honors has been made. At the annual contest held at Olivet, March 4, 1927, the Hope College speakers succeeded in placing well up in front with the other competing M. O. L. Orators. The affair was keenly contested and was an excellent exhibition of speaking for an appreciative audience. Although no Glory Day was held this year, Hope College may be justly proud of its two great orators. Miss Sandrene Schutt and Mr. Russell D. Damstra.

Oratorical Contest for Women
Let us call him Jack Black—this active, intelligent, likable boy who adventured on the 'open road' almost by accident, the world tempting him on. He took whatever he wanted, learned the habits and resources of vagrancy and vice, and after thirty years of a reasonably successful life of crime, he found—that it didn't pay. His case is common in our mobile, restless civilization—almost typical. A horde of criminals overruns the country. Perhaps, this very afternoon in your city, there are twenty, thirty Jack Blacks planning some crime. The Chicago Crime Commission says, "Crime is an established business—centralized, organized, commercialized. It is as steady as the auto industry. It is not the result of poverty, but the plain choice of the majority who follow it." Before we proceed we may well question; What are the facts pertaining to the prevalence of crime in our country? Exaggerations such as, "America is the most lawless nation in the world", " W e have reached the mountain peak of crime" cannot and should not be taken seriously. Though there are no absolutely trustworthy statistics, some may serve as a basis for an approximate estimate of facts. The recent Biennial Report of commitments to prisons of the United States, made by the Census Bureau at Washington notes a decrease in lesser crimes—disorderly conduct, larceny, public intoxication, and burglary; but an increase in grosser crimes—rape, forgery, homicide, and robbery. Violation of liquor and drug laws has also increased, but we doff the hat and hend the knee to Robbery, mighty King of Crime. It is the safest and most profitable form of criminal activity. The sensational character of the crime gives it its terroristic glamor. With loosely-guarded pay rolls; rich jewelry displayed in the streets; the automatic gun to paralyze the victim; the auto at the curb to insure a quick get-away—are you surprised that young dare-devils are attracted to the business? The lure is the gamble of the game! All this is nothing new. Open the scroll of history to 1828 and in an old periodical you will read, "Today no virtuous public sentiment frowns upon the criminal to shame him into secrecy. Let another half century pass in our present indifiference and existing evils will have attained a strength never to be overpowered." Both the fact of crime and the alarm accompanying it are an integral part of our history. The truth is, our country presents a chronic condition of criminality far transcending that found anywhere in Western Europe or Canada. Exactly how much our homicide rate, scale of burglary, and of robbery exceed that of Great Britain we do not know, but to know would not add to our pride. With each successive spasm over the crime situation, causes have been as-, signed and remedies proposed. Again we ask—What are the causes for this

criminal out-burst? The present crime wave is co-incident with the Golden Age of Prosperity. We have more wealth, power, influence, more movies than our neighbors. W h y not more crime? Much of it grows from the go-getting spirit. Young America wants to do; he does not stop to think. The ubiquitous automobile has increased crime. Men mortgage homes to get motors; boys borrow and steal them. Crime is attributed to every cause—dancing mothers, movies, lack of recreation, too much leisure, too lax immigration laws, the Volstead Act. A partial explanation lies in the increasing luxury accompanied by an increasing need for money and the disinclination of the American youth for honest labor. But the most potent factor is the lack of law enforcement! Sixteen years ago, President Taft significantly said, "The administration of the criminal law in the United States is a disgrace to civilization." The American Bar Association asserts that tiie law fails, absolutely and ludicrously fails, in the conviction of criminals. Crime commissions, lawyers, and judges pronounce the administration of our criminal laws a farce—a joke! Recently, a newspaper cartoon pictured justice roped to the stake by long delays, court congestion, technicalities, easy bail, false sentiment, and broken parole while the smirking burglar, pistol in hand, brazenly walked off with the spoils. Yes, the law protects the criminal! Legal loopholes are without limit! It takes only one Thaw case, one Loeb-Leopold case to convince citizens that justice is for sale! justice for sale? N o ! ! The unscrupulous criminal lawyer and judge are for sale! Now what have we done, what are we going to combat the enemy? The staple American remedy has been to add judges, create more courts. A New York legislator demands the whipping-post and lynch law. Chambers of Commerce, Bankers Association urge that citizens arm themselves and receive rewards for killing bandits at sight. Thus, we preach the sacredness of law and in the same breath dishonor it. Not by such mad-house methods as these has England in the past established her reign of law and order. Neither shall we! In assigning causes and proposing remedies we have made a fundamental mistake. We have not delved deeply enough. We have mistakenly supposed that the criminal's motive in crime is material gain. Note the crimes in the daily papers—the petty prize for which dangerous deeds were committed strikes you as ridiculous. Loeb and Leopold—they took a life to "get a thrill! The criminal wants to splurge— to be seen, heard, envied! In a corner of some obscure restaurant he chuckles with satisfaction over the lurid tale of last night's robbery. H e had planned a surprise party and got away with it. And now he is read about, talked about, marvelled at—clever Big Man—secretly admired by many— hailed as a hero by the alley urchins who will some day emulate him. N o ! The criminal does not consider crime a "Paying Proposition", does not think that he can "get by", and in the end be so much ahead. Jack Black, thirty years a criminal, says, "Half my thirty years in the underworld was spent

in prison. Suffering! Hardship! Privation! Say, I handled $50,000 in the time I was outside—that's about nine dollars a day—how much of that went to lawyers, bondsmen, fixers?" No, crime doesn't pay. "You Can't Win!" Nevertheless crime flourishes. Why, then, does a criminal commit crime? For the same reason that a cigarette fiend smokes or that a man addicted to alcohol drinks. The criminal is socially diseased—the leper of civilization! Strikingly enough, forty to fifty percent of recent criminals have old criminal records. W h y ? They were addicted to the crime habit. Perhaps, after the first crime, they promised themselves they'd settle down; before they knew it, crime had enmeshed them in slavish bonds. Yet every year we turn them loose on society, to work more harm and havoc. A prisoner's guilt or innocence of the particular crime with which he is charged, is not of primary importance. The great issue is—will he be menace society; the same must be done with incurable criminals. The public must unite in demanding segregation of the criminal. Protecting the community is more important than alleviating the self-incurred suffering of one individual. Something must and can be done to reduce crime! America need not despair. England's condition several years ago was strikingly like that of America today. Then she was one of the worst crime-ridden countries in the world. Now, in England, punishment is a deterrent. It follows swiftly and surely. There are no long delays. To indemnify bail is a crime in itself. A criminal is entitled to one appeal, and one only. There are no second trials. The English law prohibits the sale of pistols, except to a few authorized to bear them. The efficiency and integrity of the police force are of a high order. The public regards crime as a disgrace. There is a general sentiment for stern, swift enforcement of law. What England has done, America can do! Crime must be made so difficult that the criminal can't "get by" for even a short period. W e have met increased judicial business, by multiplying officials, not by reorganizing the administration. No one would consent to use the stage-coach in place of the automobile or to ride "along the pavement of progress by the light of a candle", yet we cling to the antiquated original in criminal jurisprudence. Is it not time we made over this moth-eaten legal apparel? The apprehension and conviction of the criminal must be made certain! The forces of law and order must organize themselves into a nation-wide war against crime. If crime is an organization, organization must put it down. That the movement is under way is evidenced by Chicago Crime Commissions and the Cleveland Association for criminal justice. But while we solve the crime wave of the 'twenties, the criminals of the 'thirties are in the making. We find them in the streets and allays, sadly neglected by home, church, and school. W e find them, pampered and spoiled, in the homes of the idle rich. Why center all our anxiety upon the criminal of today? E f fective law enforcement will settle him. We must turn our attention to the new generation.

The child instinctively imitates. Certainly, then the exhibition of crime in moving pictures must be curbed. The publishing of lurid, attractive accounts of crimes in newspapers must be stopped! Crime must be pushed from the limelight into the background. Do you wonder that the perverted publisher's glorified picture of crime sinks into the mind of the innocent child, falsely teaching that crime is a life of ease and greatness? The lie is inexcusable! It is the unpardonable sin! Not fear of the gallows, but training backed by habits will make a child a law-abiding citizen. Teach a child law and order. Show him true American ideals; instil in him, above all, the principle of honorâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;"Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, teach him to think on these things." Surely, the darkness of the hour is the promise of dawn. The fact that the public is alarmed, that scarcely a magazine is without an article on crime, are hopeful omens. A nation, aroused, awakened, has brought about reform before! It will bring about reform again! At present we lead the civilization in crime; may we soon lead it in the wise treatment and prevention of crime. Let us not become discouraged. Let us work to win. As true Americans, let us assume the prophet's mantle and sayâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; "I announce what comes after me, I announce justice, triumphant."

DAMSTRA
Second Place in the Michigan Oratorical Contest for Men
One of the most interesting phases of our national history is the story of the American frontier. From the Atlantic seaboard to the Pacific coast our civilization has advanced, slowly at times, yet always advanced. Every city or village in this great country has its own particular history of pioneer lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; the hardships encountered, the victories won, the ambitions stifled, and the hopes achieved. We too soon forget the virility and determination which these men and women must have possessed; we fail to let our imagination wander to the time when towering trees stood where now we see smokestacks and skyscrapers, to the time when Indian trails ran where now we see beautiful concrete highways. Of what sturdy stock they must have been who first penetrated the dense forests and scaled the lofty mountains! But the frontier is no more. Gone the traces of pioneer life, gone the natural barriers, gone the desolation of the wild! The rise of great cities where commerce and industry go hand in hand; the vast productive fields; the thousands of institutions of religion, education, and benevolenceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all express the purposeful determination of the fathers who founded this Republic. With hope and vision they set out to conquer, and they conquered. Today the outlook is different. To be sure, there are rivers still to be spanned, cities to be built, desert places to be changed into fruitful gardens; but today, our chief task is not the conquest of physical nature, it is the conquest of human nature. We deal with passions that are stronger than the swiftest rivers, with habits that seem insurmountable. The hate men bear one another still causes the vision of a future war to hover over us like a spectre. There is, in our country, an open defiance of law by a criminal element that is often in collusion with, and protected by, public officials for political advantage. We find that while problems of production are largely solved, greed and avarice prevent an equitable distribution. The divorce evil is gnawing at the pillars of the home; disease is following in the wake of loose moral conditions. All these things point to the fact that, although he has made the laws of the universe subject to his power, man is still untamed; he can give a detailed scientific explanation of himself, but of his own spirit, he knows little,â&#x20AC;&#x201D;that same spirit that enabled our trail-blazing fathers to dare the terrors of the uncharted wilderness.

" W e are all blind until we see, That in the human plan Nothing is worth the making If it does not make the man. Why build we cities glorious, If man unbuilded goes? In vain we make the plan, unless The builder also grows." Our most urgent problems center in human personality; hence, external means alone will not solve them. Laws, we think, can cure all ills, but of what avail are laws unless they are supported by public opinion, the thing Lord Bryce calls "the dominating agency in American government" ? Laws relating to prohibition, crime, divorce, will help little when the root of the trouble lies in the distortion of the human will. In desperation we turn to knowledge, thinking that if men would only know the facts evils would vanish; but we find that while knowledge throws light on our problems, knowledge does not solve them. Men have known of the evils of war for centuries, but did that, stop wars? Woodrow Wilson has said that, "it is not knowledge that moves the world, but ideals, convictions, the opinions or fancies that have been held or followed." The great need in America, my friends, is that there should be a re-discovery of the human will. I wish there were a magic word to express the fact that man is the source of power, but not subject to power; that character is not a product of man's circumstance, but a sign of man's mastery over circumstance. W e must harness this greatest of all forces, the human will, for in the control of it lies the influence, power, happiness, and welfare of our beloved America. Directed will power! By that sign we concHer. Three realms stand out in which the need for will power is imperative. W e need, first of all, the will to appreciate. In an age of science and materialism we are apt to judge only those things that can be touched, tasted, and handled; while some of the higher values are neglected. The popular slogan is. Follow the crowd. Whether it leads to a boxing match or to church, follow the crowd. Follow the crowd to cheap movies, for the crowd ignores the best plays produced on stage and screen. Follow the crowd to a magazine stand; read Macfadden's trashy journals, for the crowd doesn't care for first-class magazines- A certain village in our country had intended to erect a memorial to that great benefactor, Louis Pasteur; but when Rudolph Valentino died, a memorial was erected to him instead. Think of it! no comparison in the good that these two men have accomplished, yet the lesser was preferred to the greater. In all candor, I ask you, do the American people as a whole try to appreciate classics in art, literature, and music? Is there a desire to read those gems of human thought that have been penned by master thinkers in all ages? Are people interested in the affairs of the nation and of the world, or are private pleasures their chief concern?

Unquestionably a lack of appreciation for higher values is evident. T w o things men have always desired; leisure and liberty, but that man who has leisure and liberty without appreciation, is like a lunatic in a high-powered motor car. Enlarge the place of thy tent," said the old Hebrew prophet, and that is just what we should do. W e need to enlarge our scope of interest, of sympathy, and of appreciation. T h e will to be responsible is another stirring need existent in our country t o d a \ . A clever journalist crystallized the thought of many on this subject when she said, " I he longer I live, the less I blame anybody for anything." The philosophy of Clarence D a r r o w is very popular because it is so comfortable to blame our faults on our ancestors, our environment, yea, our glands; but how we hate to take the blame ourselves! W e are prone to believe that we are mere automatons tossed about by the winds of chance. O u r fathers would have laughed at this strange doctrine; our fathers believed that success was due to vision, determination, and will power. Nor must we discard individual responsibility. Let us continue to believe that each one of us is responsible for his own life, his n e i g h b o r s condition, and the work of the world. W e still need fathers, mothers, school teachers, and officials, who feel responsible for their charges. Then, when a final account is taken of this generation, may it never be said of us that we did not care, that we did not even have enough will power to feel responsible. W e need, in the third place, the will to be fair. W e must approach our problems with an eye for the truth and with a controlling purpose to make right prevail. M y friends, when we deal with facts, we cannot compromise. If America is to maintain her respect at home and her influence abroad, she must maintain a standard of absolute justice. In industry, in education, in government, we cannot afford to let selfishness and prejudice sidetrack us f r o m the path of honor. And now, friends, especially young friends, in this problem of the readjustment of the human will, as in other problems, America needs leaders. It is not on the street that such leaders will be found, but in groups such as have gathered here tonight. "Hail to the leaders of men, the sovereigns by grace of God, W h o flinch not and fear not to venture where none before them have trod." O u r country tonight is calling for an intelligent leadership. The very lack of individual appreciation, individual responsibility, and individual honor, shows this only too plainly. America is calling for seers, for prophets, for men of courage, and the call comes strongest of all to us. Are you willing to take the part of a leader, to champion a cause not yet popular, to bear the stigma of scoffers and even friends, to take a stand in, the schoolroom, in the courtroom, in the pulpit, and on the platform,â&#x20AC;&#x201D;all with one great motive, to help men to conquer themselves ? Do I hear dissenting voices? I fancy you smile and say that the human will cannot be changed ; that appreciation, responsibility, and honesty, cannot be

taught. These things, you say, must take care of themselves. But, friends, there were dissenting voices when our pioneer f o r e f a t h e r s first pushed into the American wilderness; there were dissenting voices when the abolition of slaver}' was mentioned; there are dissenting voices whenever any great constructive movement is launched. But were these things allowed to take care of themselves? W a s slavery allowed to take care of itself ? W a s the liquor traffic allowed to take care of itself? No, indeed; men and women shared the responsibilities, men and brought about success. Now today, in the fight for will power, the same individual effort is necessary. However, we can say with Lincoln that we need not fight our battles alone; we, too, have a God who is tremendously concerned in the triumph of the right. O u r concern is to do our part. In General Custer's last battle, he and every one of his 264 brave soldiers were killed by a superior force of Sioux I n d i a n s ; truly, a tremendous defeat. T h e story is told of Custer, that as he lay dying, he turned his face towards the east and smiled, knowing that out of the east would come others who would take u p the struggle where he had failed. Custer had good reason to believe that out of the east conquerors would come, because that is an American tradition. Valley Forge, Gettysburg, Flanders Fields, all ring with the spirit of conquerors. These patriots may not always have been victorious, but they were victorious in this; they fought their battles looking to the east, looking to us. Even yet they are saying: " T o you, f r o m fallen hands, we throw T h e torch ; be yours to hold it high." W h e r e is your torch ? A r e you holding it high ?

Debating 1 he Hope Debating Squad lias been singularly successful in forensic contests during the past season. Coached by Professor 1. Lubbers, they have developed a verbal punch and sidestep combination so adroit that opposing teams were baffled by their logic and clever presentation. Thus far, with debates still scheduled with Olivet and Michigan Central State Normal School, they have suffered only one defeat and have won four victories beside taking part in a nondecision contest. â&#x20AC;˘The proposition used as subject for debate was the timely question, Resolved : That this house endorses the governmental principles of Mussolini. In most instances, the affirmative based its case upon the material and economic success of the Italian government and the social advancement made through the workings of the principle of nationalism, maintaining that principles which have accomplished such benefits are worthy of endorsement. The negative doubted this prosperity and explained further that principles which destroy personal liberty, which erect an unstable dictatorship, and which endanger world peace are not worthy of endorsement.

Pi K a p p a Delta The national fraternity of Pi Kappa Delta now has a chapter firmly established among us, although in times past it seemed as if the chapter would be taken away due to the heavy graduation losses. The membership in the past few years has been small, but the past year was a most successful one for the fraternity and the future looks brighter than ever before. Debating and oratory have for the past four years been under the control â&#x20AC;˘of Pi Kappa Delta and by the control of the fraternity have been led into ever widening fields, and with this growth have brought ever growing glory to the Alma Mater, a glorious fulfillment of the principles of persuasion, beauty, and justice. Those people who have taken part in one collegiate debate or who have represented their college in an oratorical contest are eligible for membership in the fraternity. Thus Pi Kappa Delta is purely honorary and is constantly working for the betterment of forensics at Hope College. President

Athletics at H o p e The Schouten coached teams, whether it be Football, Baseball, Basketball, or Track, have won the respect and admiration of the college, independent, and professional teams. Because of the lack of proper cooperation Hope's Football record has been on a sort of a 50-50 basis. Conflicting Laboratory classes, several curricular duties and the small number of Football enthusiasts who report for Football each year practically sums up the number of obstacles that Coach " J a c k " Schouten has to contend with during each Football season. Conditions are being bettered each year. " R e d " Cornwall, formerly half-back at Kazoo Normal, assisted Coach Schouten in developing his practically all lower classmen squad. T h e admission of Flope College into the M. I. A. A.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;conference games will provide Hope with the best of football opposition. W i t h the return of practically the entire 1926 squad, prospects look bright for a 1927 season and Hope should make her debut into M. I. A. A. football ranks especially commendable. W h e n it comes to Baseball, Hope's colors soar to the skies. Coach Schouten is in his glory when his efficiently coached squad makes its appearance on the diamond. Each year Hope's ten to twelve game baseball schedule calls for games only with the strongest college and Independent teams both within and out of the State.

COACH JOHN SCHOUTEX
Basketball seems to be the center of most intense interest on the Hope College campus. Coach Schouten has always produced teams of highest calibre, and never in the history of Schouten coached teams have more than fifty per cent of the games been lost. T h e 1925 team played and won f r o m the most representative state colleges and because of this 'brought the laurels of a State Basketball Championship to H o p e College. The 1927 record was commendable because the squad constituted all lower classmen with the exception of one Junior. Hope's interest now is directed toward claiming an M. I. A. A. championship since her admission into M. 1. A. A. ranks. Because of the 'lack of proper facilities Hope College does not favor all forms of track. T h e only form Hope stresses to any extent is cross-country. Each year Hope is represented at the Inter-collegiate Cross-Country Meet held at East Lansing. I n all the meets attended Hope has never placed lower than fifth and in the 1924 season Hope was awarded a third place. Interest in Intramural and Inter-collegiate track is growing continually each year. In the 1926 season pluvious weather inhibited the plans for an inter-class meet f r o m being completed. Hope's M. I. A. A. Schedule will call for several meets with the colleges included in that organization.

Football T h e beginning of the 1926 Football Season found Coach J. H . Schouten and Assistant Coach " R e d " Cornwall with only five letter m e n : Captain " E g ' Fell, " R u s s " Japinga, " R a y " Gowens, " M a t t " Peelen, and " L e e " Kleis, to use as a nucleus for a football team. The first few scrimmages revealed a wealth of material in both tine Sophomore and Freshman Classes. The 1926 Eleven can be cited as the rudimentary team for Hope College football. Although Hope has had teams worthy of commendation in the past, the f u t u r e holds still more for her. This year's team, largely composed of Freshmen and Sophomores, who have had previous football experience, should develop into a winning Eleven capable of upholding the Orange and Blue in the M. I. A. A. games next season. Hope's admission into the M. I. A. A. should result in keen competition with the other colleges and a re-arousal of the old H o p e pep and fighting spirit.

Flint failed to make her downs repeatedly. Hope s team "showed up very well for a team composed of four veterans and seven new men, comparatively green in collegiate football. Plays calling for straigi football were used almost entirely throughout the game, only a few passes from Tapinga to Kleis being attempted and completed. Kleis, Hope s right half-bac , starred continually with his breaking through the line and his long end runs. The scoring was started by Kleis who succeeded in putting the ball across after a forty yard run. The second touchdown in the first half was made by Nettinga on a line plunge for seventeen yards. Scoring was started m the ^ halt by "Russ" Tapinga after a smash about a foot from the goal. Kleis made the final touch-down after Hope worked the ball to Flint's fifteen yard line. Hope failed to kick goal after each touchdown.

Hope played good football but did not threaten Albion's goal until late in the fourth quarter. During the first quarter of the game both teams resorted to kicking on the first or second down. " R u s s " Japinga out-punted the Albion kickers, getting off several long punts. No touchdowns were made until the second quarter, when Albion took the ball on their own 42-yard line. Line bucks and end runs by Lowry, Goldberg and Carlson together with a ten yard pass brought the ball to Hope's five yard line. Captain Williams went over for the touch-down and then kicked goal. Neither team appeared to have the advantage in the third quarter and it was not until the final period that Albion succeeded in getting two more touch-downs, one by means of a fumble and the other as a result of a misplay by a Hope back-field man who caught the ball and attempted a place-kick on the goal line. Hope was forced to kick out of danger and the ball went only 22 yards, putting Albion in a position to make the final touch-down.

Detroit recovered and. following a 15-yard penalty, Veskelety scored the three points that enabled her to win the game. Hope clearly out-played the heavier team in the first half. Costly fumbles and bad breaks prevented her f r o m scoring. A f t e r the second kick-off Detroit attempted a second place-kick, but failed. In the second quarter Hope combined a brilliant overhead and running attack. Passes f r o m Japinga to Kleis, Japinga to A an Lente and Japinga to Overweg and long runs by Van Zanden enabled Hope to reach Detroit's 10-yard line, but a fumble prevented Hope f r o m scoring. At the end of the second half the ball was on Detroit's 3-yard line. Detroit played a strong offensive game in the third quartet", making their downs in the first two plays. Detroit forced their ball to Hope's 10-yard line but fumbled and Hope punted out of danger. Hope battled desperately to overcome the 3-0 score in the last half by an aerial attack. Passes f r o m Nettinga to Japinga, Nettinga to Kleis, Japinga to Van Lente netted ground, but Hope failed to gain their yards in the last few plays and Detroit punted out of danger.

Ragged playing and lack of cooperation among the membei s of the team permitted Kazoo to score a touch-down, a goal-kick, and a place-kick in the second quarter. The touch-down came as a result of a pass to An way, a Kazoo end, which placed the ball on H o p e ' s 8-yard line. A series of line-bucks placed the pigskin across the Hope goal-line. Anway kicked goal for the extra point. T h e Frosh's extra three points came when Anway booted a place-kick a f t e r the ball had been forced to Hope's 10-yard line.

Junior's march toward the goal line was stopped by Hope on her 21-yard line. Passes f r o m Nettinga to Klay were good for first downs twice. Nettinga's line plunging and end running placed the ball on Junior's 8-yard line. Nettinga carried the ball around right end and tied the score. Nettinga picked up a fumble on Junior's 40-yard line and ran for a touch-down, but through a mistake by the R e f e r e e this was not counted.

In this encounter Hope was forced to take the small end of the 1 3 - 6 score.

Findlay made their first touch-down on a freak blocked pass in the first quarter. Findlay made its second touch-down on a long end-run and kicked goal, thus making the score 1 3 - 0 .

Baseball Hope was unusually fortunate during 1926 to have an almost entire veteran baseball squad report for Spring practice. On account of the heavy schedule arranged by himself and Manager Bovenkerk, Coach Schouten issued a call for pitchers and catchers for indoor practice as early as the last week in February. Poppen, Albers, and Cole reported as veteran moundsmen while Japinga and Van Dam were the candidates for the position behind the bat. As soon as the weather permitted outdoor practice, a second call was issued for infield and outfield candidates and the veterans De Pree, De Groot, Elenbaas, Kleis, Vanden Brink, and Bovenkerk responded for their respective positions. Hope lost only five games of its schedule and these were lost to the high calibred teams produced by Notre Dame, Western State Normal, Michigan State College, Kalamazoo, and St. Mary's.

H O P E 2 — MICHIGAN STATE 6 Hope next encountered one of the strongest teams in the state. Michigan State College celebrated their Annual Founders day by forcing Hope to suffer a 6-2 defeat. Albers and Japinga formed the battery and Albers allowed Michigan State only three hits up to the sixth inning. Elenbaas and Albers scored the two points, Elenbaas on \ anden Brink s single and Albers on Steketee s double.

H O P E 14 — G. R. J U N I O R 4 Grand Rapids Junior College's return game with Hope once more proved to be disastrous for them. Hope forced them to bow to a score of 14-4. Cole and Japinga formed the battery for Hope and Cole's pitching proved most effective. Cole fanned sixteen men and allowed only seven scattered hits. Albers, Vanden Brink, and Bovenkerk, starred at the bat. Albers' solid clout over the centerfield fence, and Bovenkerk's liner over third base drew loud applause from the fans. Coach Schouten is rounding Cole into form and with a lithe moie experience Cole should be a mainstay for Hope's 192/ team.

This was not only the final game for Hope but also the last appearance of Poppen, Albers, Steketee, De Pree, and Vanden Brink in Hope baseball togs.

Basketball Coach Schouten began his eleventh year as Basketball coach at Hope college with only one regular. Captain Kleis, returning from the 1926 squad. However, he soon discovered valuable material among the substitutes, reserves, and the new men. It is asserted that Hope passed as successful a season as could be expected judging from the amount of green material and inexperienced men whom Coach " J a c k " Schouten had to whip into a coherent squad. In almost every game that Hope lost, the H o p e men out-played their opponents during the first half but due to lack of experience crumbled during the final period. Because of his all around floor work and consistent shooting, Captain Kleis is pronounced the outstanding offensive man. Cook is accredited with being the outstanding defensive man because of his remarkable work as guard. Martin's offensive and defensive play has improved considerably during the past season and he was not out-jumped at center by any opposing player. Japinga, Van Lente, and De Pree played a good game, but each lacked experience and confidence. Because of disability, Diephouse was forced to drop f r o m the squad. Vander Hill, Klay, Prakken, and Nettinga improved 100% since the beginning of the season and Coach Schouten bases his hopes on these men for the coming season.

Basketball Review T h e basketball season opened at Hope with a pre-season game with the Muskegon Y Triangles. Hope f a n s were forced to see the O r a n g e and Blue bow to the more experienced team with a score of 31-27. Hope was forced to go the limit to defeat the Boters of Grand Rapids, 18-17. A f t e r numerous substitutions Schouten seemed to hit the best combination in Van Lente, Cook, Japinga, Kleis, with Prakken and Martin alternating at center. Hope celebrated N e w Year's eve by defeating the Grand Rapids Bethany's, 32-18. Hope combined a fast, short pass type of play with an occasional long shot. Captain Kleis led tiie scoring with six field goals to his credit. By exhibiting superior basketball Hope closed the pre-season games b\ defeating the Wealthy Florals of Grand Rapids with a score of 38-21. Kleis and Cook led in the scoring with six field goals apiece. A f t e r defeating three strong independent teams in succession Hope felt P1-E" pared to meet her first M. I. A. A. opponent which appeared to be Oli\et. I he team made an auspicious debut in M. I. A. A. ranks by defeating Olivet with a score of 40-31.

T h e second conference game was with Kalamazoo College, last year's M. L A. A. champions. Hope tried desperately to cop a second M. I. A. A. scalp but were beaten by the celery pickers, 31-20. Another conference game was dropped to Alma a f t e r a close tussle that required an overtime period. The game ended with the score at 22 all. An overtime period saw the Alma team better the Hope men f o r three baskets and holding the Orange and Blue scoreless. The final count was 28-22. Hope avenged her two defeats by walloping Flint Junior College by a decisive score, 52-11. In this lop-sided contest Coach Schouten seized the opportunity to give all the substitutes a chance and it was not until the final whistle blew that the Hope men ceased sinking baskets with monotonous regularity. Although running true to form Hope was unable to break through Kalamazoo's strong defense and sufifered defeat at the hands of Coach Barnard's team, 31-25 in a game that was featured by close guarding. Captain Kleis' play was especially noteworthy. Martin, De Free, and Diephouse made their appearance in this encounter. Hope journeyed to East Lansing to battle with Michigan State before a crowd of nearly 3,000 spectators who jammed their way into the gym to see the touted Hope team p e r f o r m . Hope scored consistently, amassing 31 points, but were outdone by the Staters' 46. Hope's playing was ragged due to the large floor and the loss of Cook. Nettinga, Klay, and Vander Hill made their appearance during the game and formed a hard fighting combination. Finally breaking the jinx of having the ball roll out of the loop. Hope found little difficulty in administering its second defeat of the season to Olivet at M a r shall, defeating them, 33-13. Running true to form the Hope team tied Albion in the sixth Conference game, 25-25, but lost in the five minute overtime period, 32-25. Hope presented a stonewall defense and Albion found it extremely difficult to dribble or pass through. In the overtime period Albion caged three baskets and one foul and then resorted to stalling until the whistle blew. Kalamazoo Normal furnished the next opposition on the Hope schedule. T h e Hope men appeared to be off f o r m and finding it impossible to work their way in for close shooting resorted to long shots that failed to find the loop. In Elias and Schrump, the Hill Toppers presented two of the finest basketeers to appear on the Hope floor this season. Kazoo won this contest with a 31-19 count.

Coach Schouten and company journeyed to Flint to administer the third decisive defeat of the season to Flint Junior College. 1 he Hope men scored at will and amassed 58 points to Flint Junior's 11. Xettinga was the outstanding performer, caging 7 goals and one foul. The next night Hope met St. Mary's College at Orchard Lake- Hope s fast offense baffled the St. M a r y ' s team and Hope ran up an 18-4 lead in the first eight minutes. St. Mary's tightened down and taking advantage of some loose playing ended the half 19-18. T h e final period of the game saw some of the finest basketball ever played on a Michigan court. Roth teams alternated enjoying a small lead at various moments. Dame F o r t u n e smiled on the St. Mary s team giving her the long end of the final count, 37-34. In the encounter with the Hill Toppers Hope started with a rush, caging five baskets to Kazoo Normal's one in the first ten minutes of play. ^ But Coach Read's team proved itself too strong for Hope and Coach Schouten s men ^ ÂŁ i e forced to suffer a 46-25 defeat. Nestor and Grein proved to be the shining lights for Kazoo Normal scoring 27 points between them. For Hoi^e, Keis again proved to be the high point man with eight points to his credit. Cook played a commendable game at guard. Hope stepped out of its regular Collegiate schedule and met the fast Holland Furnace team who defeated them, 36-28. "Dick Japinga was the outstanding player f o r the Furnace team caging eight baskets. Kleis and "Russ ' Japinga were the outstanding p e r f o r m e r s for the Hope men. Albion had to defeat Hope in order to claim an undisputed M. l. \ . A. Championship. Hope gave Albion the scare of their lives by leading 18-13 at the half. During the final period the Methodists unleashed an attack that any team would have been powerless to stop and it was not until the final whistle blew that the Albionites ceased sinking baskets. Hope scored only 6 points during this period thus giving Albion the deciding game, 41-24. Losing this game to Albion, Hope ties with Hillsdale for fourth place in the final M. I. A. A. standings. Hope's team amassed 580 points during the season, thus averaging 30 points per game.

Track Shortly after College opened, about twenty-five track enthusiasts responded to Coach Schouten's summons for a Cross-Country Team. Coach Schouten had as a nucleus for his team: Captain George Clicquennoi, and the 1925 Captain, Jake Kik. By the process of elimination, the squad was cut down to six men who represented the Orange and Blue at the Eleventh Annual State Inter-Collegiate Cross-Country Meet, held at East Lansing. The men who represented Hope were: Captain Clicquennoi, Kik, Ritchie, Dunnewold, Popma, and Berkompas. Hope was awarded fifth place with a score of 126. Kik and Dunnewold won Silver medals for placing within the second ten men. The success of the 1926 team is largely due to the new equipment that was received and the interest in, and care for, the men by Coach Jack Schouten. T H E A L L - S T A T E I N T E R C O L L E G I A T E CROSS-COUiNTRY M E E T After two months of strenuous training Coach Schouten and his CrossCountry Team journeyed to East Lansing to participate in the Eleventh Annual State Intercollegiate Cross-Country Meet.

Girls' Sweater C l u b A few years ago a club was organized on the campus—the Sweater Club— for the purpose of giving the girls a chance to take part in athletics. The idea in mind was to let the girls earn their sweaters, and to stimulate their interest in athletics. This they did by hiking from three to five miles each day, playing basketball, volleyball, tennis, indoor baseball, swimming, rowing, roller and ice skating, canoeing—if they paddled their own canoes—and by any form of athletic endeavor. At first the girls worked one year for their sweater. Now they are requested to work two years. Great enthusiasm has been shown in the club in the few years of its existence and many sweaters have been earned. Any girl is eligible to join this club in so far as she keeps her scholarship average above the eighty-five mark.

Athletic Debt Diggers The letters A. D. D. have a double meaning to all members of the Athletic Debt Diggers. To them the letters also spell a word which they use as their motto. Throughout the school year they have tried to do their bit to add to the assets of the athletic fund and to add to the pep and the school spirit of the student body. Besides selling hot-dogs at the football games and frost-bites at the basketball games, they also have been in the bleachers rooting for the team. All money that they have made has been turned into the athletic f u n d to buy sweaters and equipment for the various teams. OFFICERS President Treasurer

The Wedding of the Fairies No rushing, boisterous waves that day Came roaring up the strand, But quietly, majestically, They gently washed the sand. Each sparkling, silver'd crest was lit By bright rays f r o m the sun. Each as it opened was a peep-hole F o r the wedding fun. And every time the white crest broke In ripples on the shore, 1 saw a wedding party I H a d never seen before. F o r in the center was the bride On diamond-studded veil: The groom, as gorgeously attired In gem-splashed silver mail. And all around them trooped the rest,â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A glittering array. The low harp-music of the waves Accompanied their way. Each time the crested waves came up And broke upon the shore, I caught a momentary glimpse, And longed to see some more. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I .

' A ' Class It is with a feeling of regret that the " A " Class of 1927 is about to leave our school. To us it will mean the severing of many strong ties of friendship that we hold dear. But mingled with our regret is a feeling of eagerness to go on into life, to do something bigger and nobler. We are only a small class, but our spirit and enthusiasm never sleep. In our classrooms, in our society halls, and at our parties, we have earned for ourselves the title of an active, lively class. Our four, short, happy years at the Preparatory School will linger long in our memories. May the class of 17 ever hold high Hope's banner, ever maintaining with a steadfast purpose her ideals of honor, truth, and loyalty. 1 o the classes that follow we extend our hearty encouragement and deepest hopes for a bigger and better year for 1 iep.

Yes, indeed, we will ever he grateful for the many benefits and pleasures Minerva has given us. Therefore, in return, each Minervite pledges her devotion and allegiance. Minerva is a very old literary society. It was founded on the campus in 1896. The society was at first a combination of college and preparatory girls. The members increased so rapidly that a separation was necessary. Now, "the prep girls" alone meet the goddess Minerva each Friday evening. The weekly meetings are a source of inspiration to each member. Close friendships are established. A spirit of good fellowship is here created. We hope that our patron goddess will continue to bless us in the future as she has done in the past. First Semester

Meliphone Society
Sixty-nine years ago backed by a determination of success, honor, and loyalty, a group of students organized Meliphone Society. 1 hrough all these years an earnest effort has been made to keep Meliphone worthy of its traditions. Every Friday night the Meliphonians hold their meeting where excellent and instructive programs are rendered. The primary object of the society is advancement of its members along literary lines and to create a closer fellowship with one another. Every true Meliphonian is interested in the welfare of his fellow classmates. The fame of Meliphone has spread far and wide by the success of its annual play. Every year it is eagerly looked forward to by the throngs of people who gather to hear it. May the spirit of Meliphone never die. President Vice-President

Basketball The "Prep" Basketball Squad of 1926-27 enjoyed a very successful and pleasing season. The boys responded with a will. Though not many games were played, those which were played, left the team and its supporters well satisfied. The "Prep" squad of this year played teams of better calibre than it has played for many years. Among the teams played were; Christian High School, Heinz, and the Ottawa Furniture Five. The team easily won the respect of all its opponents. The "Prep" Five has been the best in years. Several of the best men will be at Hope again next year providing a nucleus for next year's team. Ihus, prospects for a winning five next year look very bright. A rearousal of the fighting "Prep" spirit and proper backing will produce a sure winner in the coming basketball season.

W e s t e r n Theological S e m i n a r y Greetings Tt has indeed been a great privilege for Hope College to experience the friendship and interest which the memhers of the \ \ estern I heological Seminary have attached to us during the past. Though we are distinct in ourselves yet our likenesses molded together reap the benefits which both are striving for. A Christian character is one of the noblest attributes of all mankind and for us both to strive toward that goal weaves for us a unified endeavor. When we look at your faculty we see a learned group of theological scholars who have been students at our college. \ \ e are also greatly attracted by the number of former Hopeites who are now pursuing life's ambition in your halls. And also to those who have never been affiliated with Hope College in any way, we extend greetings from the Hope Studentry and would seek closer relationship with you in the future. We feel a deep sense of appreciation toward the Seminary for the privileges which have been granted to us during the previous year. W e thank you for your intensified interest in our victories and for your cordial coopeiation in our \aiious activities. We sincerely hope that both institutions may follow the same course that they have always followed in the years past.

Greetings f r o m the S e m i n a r y Western Seminary sends greetings to tlie class sponsoring the publication of the Annual as well as to the many friends both of Hope College and the Seminary who may read these words. There is and always has been a deep feeling of friendship between the two institutions. As students and faculty we look with keen interest upon all the activities of the college which for many of us is our "Alma Mater". We watch with interest your scholastic attainments, we rejoice in your achievements in oratory and debate. ^ our spiritual activities are especially of interest to us and we always look forward to the perennial \ \ eek of Prayer iu which we have the pleasure to participate, and to which we gi^e oui moral and spiritual support. In fact, we feel that you are a part of us and without you as a neighbor, much of our joy would be lacking. We love your athletics and rejoice in your victories as well as suffer in your defeats. Western Seminary is a Post-graduate School. \ s such our activities are not so diverse, but to state, as some have, that the Seminary boys are prudish and proud and "drawn within their shells" is not true. \\ e may look at life from a little more serious angle, but that is only fitting and propei as one sees the duties and responsibilities of life which come to those who are willing to assume them. We consider you friends. We look to you for continued friendship and also for recruits for the Master's Service.

T h e W e s t e r n Theological S e m i n a r y O r c h e s t r a That the Seminary students are interested in more than hooks and Theological problems is made evident by the appearance of a small orchestra. I hough the number of members is small, yet there is variety and talent enough to make a well-balanced combination. The orchestra has already made several public appearances both before the student body and before large and appreciative audiences in the neighboring towns. All members of the orchestra will he back next year when they intend to make a tour to a number of the Reformed churches in this section of the country. The faculty and student body are justly proud of this organization, and have contributed much to its success by their enthusiastic support. Under the able direction of Mr. Fryling the orchestra has worked up a variety of classical and semi-classical selections, and in addition to this, several of the members give both vocal and instrumental solos which altogether make up a very effective and entertaining program. TJic Personnel of the ensemble is os follows: A R O N U N G E R S M A .

Now we'll put a new reed in our organ and play, "She was only the landlord's daughter, but she sure landed me." Clinton Cole on his way thru Detroit last Christmas fell in with two hijackers, who ordered him to poke over. Cole refused and a lively tussle ensued. The robbers finally downed him and after searching his pocket only found twenty-five cents.. "Phew," one of the thieves panted, "You surely put up some scrap. Get up and beat it. Ya nearly had both of us licked. Tell me why did ya scrap like a fool for twenty-five cents." "Well," Cole answered, "1 thought ya might find the $100 1 have hidden in my sock."

That murmur soon replies, "Hope doth not need Silver or gold but your sweet face. Who best The social group doth serve is best. My state Is kingly. Hundreds at my summons speed And rush o'er land and ocean without rest. B'twe also wait for those who enter late. Bill—"Have you heard the new Freshmen Yell?" Jim—"I didn't know they were hurt." It's no use. The college pest wants to know if you're suppose to wear a bathing suit in a poolroom. THERE'S ONE AT EVERY TABLE: The guy who insists upon talking about the most repulsive things you have ever heard. The hound on table manners who looks cross-eyed every time anyone leaves an oar hang out of his plate. The cynic who finds fault with everything he eatsThe careless chap, who gives everyone a shower with his grapefruit. The luckless fellow, who cut his lip with his knife. The musician, who insists on eating his soup in G minor. And I who am just about perfect.

W E N T Y - F O U R years as an exponent of thrift, finan-
T
cial protection, timely preparation for untimely events, and twenty-four years as maker of financial plans for
the independence of old people, the education of young people. and the greater prosperity and happiness of all ages and conditions of men and women, will give any thoughtful man a surpassing knowledge of the hopes, the fears, and the needs of his fellows. W . J. Olive has planned and executed more than four million dollars of personal protection for the people of Holland in the last twenty-four years.
H e has represented the
same life insurance company during the whole period; and the company, organized in 1884, has more than doubled in size in the last seven years. Olive's knowledge of financial needs, and The Franklin's policies designed to meet those needs, offer an accurate means of providing for the best, and against the worst.
