e c a u s e of his f r a n k n e s s and sureness in dealing, w i t h o u r possibilities and problems, because he believes in himself and his subject and ever lends h i s u n s t i n t e d support and devotion to the ^reat cause of Education, we, t h e J u n i o r Class of 1928 do affectionately dedicate t h i s fourteenth Milestone to Professor Efebert Winter.

Our Campus The world boasts finer, more renowned. More smiling hill and slope,—• But none are clothed in memories A s dear as those of Hope. Each flowering bush. Each blade of grass, Each proud and stately tree, Tell to the stranger that may pass A beautiful story. Not in great wealth were these halls reared, Not in display of power,— But humbly, slowly, by those men W h o would not cringe or cower T o ignorance or idleness, But sought a greater dower Of knowledge built on H o p e and Faith. By Hope and Faith they built And Hope and Faith they've given us— Dowry of gold not gilt. These wooded hills And gardens green Will memories hold entwined T o make of the Hope Campus A jewel of its kind. E. R. T,

A Word from the President "Please Stand By" These words have gotten a new meaning in our day. A t one time their technical meaning was to assist, to give physical or moral support. W h e n a vessel was in distress, another came to its rescue and "stood by" to the last possible moment. Some of us remember an old hymn based on the nautical use of the phrase, — " F o r I'll Stand By Until the Morning." In a figurative sense more commonly than in the literal the phrase was used when a companion needed the presence and commendation of another and it was the part of true friendship to "stand by through thick and thin." H e r e is the old military thought. W h e n a soldier was hard pressed by his opponents and the darts were flying thick and fast, his choicest friend "stood by" and, whether the arrows came thick or thin, each was by the other's side.

Radio has brought another thought to the words. One program has been finished with its effect of pleasure or tire and we are to be given another across the reaches of the air. The details are not announced. Perhaps the performers are not yet assembled. 1 he conditions of the air for the next few minutes are surely unknown. It is a moment of expectancy and this element alone makes f o r much of the pleasure of the particular moment. However perfect our apparatus or the equipment of the sending station may be, there is every chance that something will interfere between the "mike" and ourselves. It is ours to be on the alert and not alone "to tune in" but to be just as keen at "tuning out." College life is like this,^—like it in its immediate present and in all the days that are to follow. Ihese "Milestones" are proof. Each has given its program in its turn. Each has offered its best. Each has retired in the consciousness of a noble task nobly done. The announcer, " T h e Spirit of Hope," bids us "stand by. Good will, a spirit keen for reception, a vital expectancy, a will to get this offering and none other however good all the others may be,—these are our contributions to a most pleasurable privilege. Nineteen-Twenty-Eight broadcasts. Now let's to the moment! Stand B y !

W hoever it was who invited his "soul to loaf," was of all spirits the most impossible, (.an you imagine it? Soul, the very quintessence of life, of activity, off on a l o a f ? Such an one could never stand by! And such an one, though instruments were refined to the Hth degree, could never receive! H O P E Stands By—not with a soul that would or can loaf ; but ready for H J C M !

Senior Girls' Association A f t e r being merely classmates f o r t h r e e years, the girls of the Class of '28 have finally become real f r i e n d s t h r o u g h the happy influence of Senior Girls' Association. Once every month the girls f o r g e t that it is their duty, as Seniors, to be dignified and serious, and meet, usually at the home of one of the members, f o r a big " f e e d " and a good time. Sometimes clever and interesting p r o g r a m s are given, but often the gatherings are purely social and, as such, are w o n d e r fully successful. A n d you'd be surprised at the n u m b e r of good cooks there are a m o n g the Senior g i r l s ! But in addition to these regular meetings the girls have used other means of having a good time. By a g r o u p attendance of the S. G. A. at some of the basket-ball games, they surprised the c r o w d (especiallv H . K. K . ) and gave splendid evidence of their loyalty t h r o u g h their peppy and unusual yells. All of the girls agree that the S. G. A. meetings, with their spirit of fellowship and f u n , are a m o n g the happiest of the many pleasant experiences t h a t mark their Senior year. O F F I C E R S

H o p e K u r f e w Klub W e , the Senior men of the Class of 1928, following a precedent set by Senior m e n in the past, organized the H . K . K . with a threefold aim. F i r s t , to p r o m o t e a Spirit of Loyalty and Fellowship a m o n g o u r classmates. Second, to uphold the dignity of Senior men on the c a m p u s . T h i r d , to instill in the minds of the F r e s h m e n the essentials of good conduct and service. A s the year d r a w s to a close, we feel that the H . K. K . was not organized in vain. N o t only have we succeeded in upholding our Senior dignity and in p r o m o t i n g good fellowship b u t we also feel that m a n y F r e s h m e n have been started on the straight and n a r r o w p a t h by our kind, altho sometimes vigorous advice and guidance. It is one of the f e w organizations of the Campus, membership in which is confined to one class. Seniors alone can q u a l i f y . O u r meetings, which w e r e held whenever convenient, occasionally took the f o r m of nicotinism but we sincerely maintain that they w e r e not without an u p l i f t i n g influence, especially in a social and recreational way. T h e y have tended to m a k e the m e m b e r s of the class which is about to leave H o p e better f r i e n d s and m o r e companionable men. O F F I C E R S

Junior Glass T h r e e years of our life upon the campus have passed, three years filled to overflowing with activities of all sorts. M e m b e r s of the class of '29 have fast become the leaders in all lines of endeavor. L a b o r i n g together, in the spirit of close co-operation, with other Hopites, we have given of our b e s t â&#x20AC;&#x201D; f o r Hope. A n d we have enjoyed these years, and a r e looking f o r w a r d anxiously to the year t h a t is to come, not because it is to be the last, but rather because it is to be the best. It is to be the year that will see the achievement of something f o r which we have striven many years. T h e goal is in sight, but we will move it on, ever keeping it a distance ahead, a thing to strive f o r , to attain, to pass. In spite of the fact that o u r n u m b e r s have been noticeably reduced, d u r i n g o u r stay on the campus, the tiny seed planted when first we became Hopites has become a s t u r d y plant whose bounteous f r u i t s are the Spirit of H o p e and love of o u r Alma M a t e r . May this spirit and love continue to grow, deep in our hearts, until it shall become like unto the s t u r d y old oak against which even time is no enemy. " O r a n g e and B l u e !

Still on it creeps, each little m o m e n t at another's heels, till hours, days, years and ages are m a d e up. It rolls on plunging into its ceaseless c o u r s e ; thus t w e n t y centuries have sunk into eternal night. But let us stop in this mad rush of time and let our memories r u n t h r o u g h the shadowy past. W h a t do we see ? T h e Class of 30, one h u n d r e d and eighty strong, p r o u d l y enroll themselves as F r e s h m e n , to help c a r r y the ( ) r a n g e and Blue ' to victory in all phases of college activity. A s F r e s h m e n we felt that g ra dua t i on was the Mecca in our pilgrimage to the shrine of learning. But a year of college work soon disillusioned us for, as Sophomores, we realize that the torch of learning is to be carried on t h r o u g h posterity. I his torch we endeavor to foster and keep alight by success. Sophomore achievements on the Campus are many. W e will strive to uphold H o p e ' s deep-set ideals and principles t h r o u g h the remaining two years of our college s o j o u r n . A n d as our motto "Co-operation and P r o g r e s s ' has proven f r u i t f u l , so let it remain f o r t w o years to come.

F r e s h m a n Glass Yea F r o s h ! "they may be 'Green' but so is the G o v e r n o r . " 1 he class of '31 realizes that the real u p a n d down life is d u r i n g the first year at college. T h o u g h the f r e s h m e n have been pushed a r o u n d somewhat by u p p e r classmen, and have received a few duckings they have not become discouraged. T h e y merely look on that as the legitimate introduction to college life. A s a rule, the classes coming into H o p e yearly, a r e larger t h a n those of the preceding year and the class of '31 is no exception to this rule. W i t h all the pep and enthusiasm that a class of about one h u n d r e d and sixty-seven can exhibit, the Sophomores have been forced to step lively. T h e u p p e r classmen may have thought that the F r e s h m e n were boisterous and w e r e creating too much excitement. B u t this, fellow Hopites, was merely an overflow of pep. 1 he Class of '31 has settled d o w n to a well-meaning course and wishes to blend its pep and enthusiasm with the " S p i r i t of H o p e " and by so doing, to be able to complete a successful college course, bearing their colors high and in the f r o n t ranks of diligent workers. T h o u g h the course may be a difficult one, and many rocks and rapids of h a z a r d may be in the stream of college life, the Class of 1931 has determined to go f o r w a r d and maintain the good s t a n d a r d s of H o p e as the classes which have gone before.

A Piece of Tapestry It was a marvelous w o r k of art, and it h u n g in a splendid h a l l ; A thing of beauty, this tapestry—it brightened the eye of all. T h e story it told so enchanting was, it gave the mind release— It lifted one f r o m the strife of life to heights of rest and peace. Not all was light, or in tints of gold, s o f t shadows pervaded the whole,— But the light w a s the brighter because of them, as trouble enriches the soul. I gazed and gazed at this work of a r t , m y thoughts took me back a t i m e : I saw the weaver so w o r k - w o r n there, as he toiled in a distant clime. T h e skill of his hand was not greater than the patience he had to acquire. A s he sat in the gloom of his w o r k s h o p with a pattern as guide to inspire. H e never could look at the finished side of the glorious fabric he m a d e — W h i l e the joy of his w o r k w a s f o r others, yet f o r him was but toil and shade. M y life is that of the weaver's, and I ' m weaving some threads each day. I only see the seamy side, the warp, the d a r k , the grey. B u t still I ' m w e a v i n g a w o n d r o u s design, or I truly can m a k e it so. F o r all depends on the p a t t e r n I choose,—the colors—and how they go. I would the t a p e s t r y showing my life a thing of beauty would b e ; F o r I ' m not laboring f o r myself, but f o r the M a s t e r who's hiring me. So I'll go by the pattern H e gave me, do my best to follow H i s plan. F o r I want my w o r k to be pleasing to God, as that tapestry was to man. -

PROFESSOR T .

WELMERS,

Principal

T h i s has been another truly great year in the history of the P r e p a r a t o r y School, the oldest educational institution in this vicinity. O u r n u m b e r s have been few, to be sure, but this has only helped to make t h e fellowship m or e intimate. Seldom has there been a finer spirit m a n i f e s t e d amongst the studentry. I n the t w o literary societies, the Meliphone f o r the boys and the M i n e r v a f o r the girls, some splendid w o r k has been done. Moreover, there has been present this year a rich religious atmosphere, which has exerted a great influence upon the students and has helped to give them the necessary spiritual stability and poise. Probably the most significant happening of the year came at the end of the first semester when the college seniors, w h o were working f o r a teachers' certificate, began to do practise teaching in the P r e p a r a t o r y School. T h i s teaching, however, w a s done u n d e r the c a r e f u l supervision of the regularly employed staff and f o r that reason there w a s no letting down of educational s t a n d a r d s . O u r students have enjoyed this opportunity to work with the college students and as a result of this contact there has been an exchange of feeling which has been mutually beneficial. In closing, we should like to emphasize the many-sided n a t u r e of the training received here. T h e t h o r o u g h and painstaking work of the classroom is supplemented by the social, athletic and religious life as f o u n d in the society hall, the gymnasium and the Y. M . C. A . In this regard we feel we are but carrying out the purpose of the C h u r c h of which we are a part and which we are pleased to serve.

Religion at H o p e The religion of Hope College is the one and only true religion, that of Tesus the Christ, Son of the Living God. Every active student and alumnus of our Alma Mater, realizes the rock-hewn foundation upon which is built the ever-pervading influence of Christianity upon the campus. W i t h o u t religion there can be no molality, and the highest type of morality, good character, depends upon a well constructed life as revealed in the teachings of the H o l y Bible. T r u e Hope Spirit' strives then to build men and women of character along with a finer appreciation of knowledge: to become worthy leaders of the f u t u r e . Let us say with earnest conviction that the man whose four years separate him rather than join him closer to God. has lost or never won the significance of a Hope fellowship. T h e r e are three roots to the tree whose f r u i t we now speak of. In Chapel, a simple morning service of twenty minutes duration, a student joins with his fellows in song, prayer, and Scripture lesson. H e r e is born the spirit of every successful day. F r o m time to time through speech or music the seeds of culture and inspiration fall. The Y. M. C. A. and \ . W . C. A., the two distinctly religious bodies upon the campus, have adopted f o r their m o t t o : ''Jesus Christ is King of this campus," and offer Christian fellowship to all. In the Faculty we find friends and advisors. T o them we can look as examples of the best, and to them we can go for a religion that is correct. W e can truly be t h a n k f u l for the wholesome atmosphere in which our college is surrounded.

Y . M. C. A . 'Y" is the best and most representative organization on our campus. It is at our " Y " meetings that we meet on common ground, with mutual interest, and in loyalty to our Lord and Master. The organization of the " Y " is centralized in the Cabinet, which consists of thirteen members, who are interested in the student problems and particularly in the religious life of the studentry. O u r weekly meeting, along with the daily College Chapel exercises and personal devotion, spiritually tithes us over f r o m Sabbath to Sabbath. W e not only believe in worship and prayer, but also in service and work. The " Y " in co-operation with the Y. W . C. A. conducts three Sunday Schools in the surrounding districts of Holland. " Y " men, who are eager to serve, are sent out on "Gospel 1 earns' to carr)' the Message of Salvation to neighboring communities of Holland and Grand Rapids. Discussion group leaders were sent to the Michigan State Older Boys' Conference held at Kalamazoo. The missionary zeal of the Y. M. and Y. W . is expressed in supplying f u n d s for the Hope Hostel, a branch of Hope High School in India. The purpose of " Y " is to develop religious life and moral character. It is the prayer and aim of the organization to lead others to Jesus as their personal Savior and the open door to the more abundant life. Not only is our aim carried out through our weekly meetings and personal work, but also through our Annual W eek of Prayer. This year it was observed later than usual, since we felt that we needed the inspiring services of " D a d " Elliott, whom we could not obtain until March 20th. W e have prayed that " D a d ' s " coming would be a blessing to every student and that his work would lead us fully to a life of selfnegation and positive consecration to the Master. W e pray that as you read now, your memory may be flooded with the happiest thoughts, and that the "Y" through its services has helped you find and serve the Master. If it has not, then will you pause a moment even now, and meditate upon its aim and services, and judge whether it is not worthy in the Spirit of the Master, to influence your life f r o m henceforth.

T o gain a clearer vision of the Christ and all that H e stands for is the purpose of the Y o u n g W o m e n ' s Christian Association on this campus. Believing in unselfish service to others the " Y " has branched out into various activities and the members have discovered that through endeavoring to share with others the vision of Christ it becomes more precious to themselves. The main source of strength lies in the weekly hour service set aside for " Y " where all meet to take inventory, renew faith, and commune with God in prayer. Of all the activities of the ' Y " this hour means the most to each ogirl. All, meetins" o on equal ground, are joined together by that invisible band formed through a united striving for the same purpose under the leadership of the same Master. In order to reach out to others, Gospel Teams have been formed and are active in the surrounding community. The missionary spirit prevails among the group and a direct contribution to the cause is made by assisting in raising the annual H o p e Hostel f u n d . This money is for the maintenance of a dormitory on one of the mission fields. Christmas boxes have been sent to the children at the various mission stations where Hope representatives are working and the ' Y " girls have experienced the joy of bringing Christmas happiness to others. Besides the spiritual uplift which this organization effects on the campus and the religious work which it carries on. the " Y " engages in various phases of social work. New girls are welcomed and made to feel at home. Employment is sought for those students desiring it. Wholesome enjoyment and recreation is secured at the beach parties, get-togethers, and other social events of the 'Y T " calendar. " Y " fills that need on the Hope campus which no other organization can fill. It is a distinct part of the college and her tradition. Throughout the year the ' Y " girls have tried to live up to the ideal set forth in their song; "Follow, follow, follow the gleam of the light that shall bring the dawn."

Student Volunteers T h e Student Volunteer Band is composed of individuals who have voluntarily declared that it is their purpose, God willing, to give their lives to foreign missionary service. This signifies even m or e than a willingness or d e s i r e ; it is a declaration of purpose that is made a f t e r intelligent thinking and p r a y e r f u l decision. By this declaration the Volunteer says, " H e r e am I, Lord, send me." A n d only God shall determine whether or not he shall enter the field of his desire, prayer, and hope. T h e S t u d e n t Volunteers meet each week f o r the p u r p o s e of getting acquainted with all phases of missions and missionary work. Missionaries on furlough, as well as other competent leaders, are called in f r o m time to time. In this way the fires of devotion are re-kindled. Inspiring others and sharing with them is included in the objective. T h e r e has been a decrease in membership within the last f e w years, u n doubtedly caused by financial conditions of the Board, and a deadening vision of foreign mission service on the part of the students. A keener interest, however, has been shown d u r i n g the c u r r e n t year. Several students have linked themselves with the Movement. T h e call of Christ is still f o r more laborers to enter H i s harvest field, " f o r the harvest indeed is great and the laborers are few."

W e are indeed happy to report another successful year in Gospel T e a m work. W e feel that we have been blessed in our effort to spread the good news of Christ J e s u s in the outlying districts of Holland. It is obviously difficult to point to definite results in w o r k such as this, but we believe t h a t we h a v e created in the communities which we have visited a t r u e r conception of w h a t constitutes real Christian M a n h o o d . I n our contacts with young people of H i g h School age we have tried to point out to them the joy and blessedness of an intimate acquaintance and a living fellowship with the P r i n c e of Peace. A s m e m b e r s of Gospel T e a m s , we feel that we, too. have been made stronger, m o r e thrillingly alive to the possibilities of a life with Christ by t h u s engaging in this work. One-night teams have been sent out to the following places: H a m i l t on, Gibson, T h i r d R e f o r m e d Church, C. E. Union at Muskegon, and Muskegon Heights. A regular week-end team of nine men u n d e r the leadership of Peter D e R u i t e r spent three days at the Lee Street and G o d f r e y Schools in Grand Rapids. T h e Gospel T e a m is a subordinate organization to the H o p e Y. M . C. A. and the w o r k accomplished by " Y " men going out in this capacity is a part of the Y. M . C.

Hope College Orchestra "Music, O how faint, how weak! Language fails beneath thy spell; Why should feeling ever speak When thou cans't breathe her soul so well!" Music plays a large p a r t in the life of every educational institution. T h e O r c h e s t r a has achieved a place in H o p e College and represents to the student body its efforts to develop one of the greatest of arts. I he object of the organization is to promote the appreciation and u n d e r standing of orchestral music a m o n g the members and to f u r t h e r the musical interests of the College. T h e H o p e College O r c h e s t r a was first organized by D r . T- B. N y k e r k in 1904. U n d e r the excellent leadership of M r . V a n Hassalt, of" A m s t e r d a m , the orchestra at that time made great headway and became an asset to the College. 1 rofessoi Municke and Air. J o h n Lloyd Kollen have directed it in recent years. Now u n d e r the capable leadership of M r . W a l t e r I . Ritter, the organization has had a \ e r y successful year.

First, there is the pleasure and profit which comes to the student body f r o m the practice and contacts a f f o r d e d by musical w o r k ; and, second, the training which will m a k e it possible for the members of these musical organizations to do similar work later on in life. Music is ever a source of inspiration, giving to all a feeling of intense delight and to the p e r f o r m i n g musician also the keen satisfaction of accomplishment. D u r i n g the first year of their organization, the quartette made few public appearances, but last year they played on several occasions. In June, 1927, t w o of the t r u m p e t e r s were graduated, but others took their places, continuing the organization. 1 his year the t r u m p e t e r s have given concerts and have played f o r m a n y religious services both in Holland and in the s u r r o u n d i n g cities.

Oratory Oratory at Hope enjoys a position of prominence among the activities of the school. Successful participation in oratorical contests has brought about upon the campus an attitude favorable to oratory, which has become a part of the tradition of the institution. It receives the hearty support of the faculty in evenway and students display a keen interest in the inter-collegiate contests.

Hope s record in competing with other colleges is illustrious, showing three national triumphs and numerous first places in the contests of the Michigan O r a torical League. Dr. J. B. Nykerk has been coach of oratory for a period of about twenty-five years and has been eminently successful in turning out speakers of the highest quality. 1 he annual AI. (). L. Contest, held on March 2, 1928, at .Albion College was an excellent exhibition of speaking. The Hope representatives repeated the 1927 record when they returned with two second places to their credit. Decisions were especially close in the men's contest; Mr. Jacob Pelon missed the leading honors by a very scant margin. Miss Hazel Albers took second place in the women's contest in the face of exceptionally strong opposition. More efiforts were made to gain honors by sending the orators to the national i i Kappa Delta convention to compete with college representatives f r o m twentyfour states. Both Hopeites were eliminated in the first contests when judges objected to the reformatory stamp of the orations. T h e oratorical branch of forensic activity can thus show a fairly favorable lecord for 1928. Orators for the coming year will be selected by means of a series of local elimination contests and Hope will continue to enter competition in the field of oratory. r) t 928

In California there are certain places where the trees grow so close together, the branches and vines entwining, so as to form an almost impenetrable maze. In such a grove two friends started out one day for a walk, and before they realized just where they were going, they found themselves in the very thick of the woods. \ \ hile they were attempting to find their way out, they lost each other. 1 hey could speak together, but could not see each other. In vain they tried this wa}' and that, but they came to no clearing. One called to the other, "John, where are y o u ? " J o h n answered. " I don't know, I must be in a maze." They continued to grope here and there, until a guide came to their assistance and led them out of the maze.

iS rJI

Like these two friends, we also are wandering in a tangled maze of human relationships. W e are being jostled along by the crowd in the mad rush of life, always moving to be sure, and moving f a s t e r ; but are we ever troubled by the question. W h i t h e r ? If some one inquires the reason for going so fast, we look astonished that such a question should even be asked, and can only reply, " W h y , we go f a s t ! " And w h a t more can be said? In business, in industryâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;-speed is the word. T h e executive urges, "Speed up on the sales!" T h e foreman cries. " W e ' v e got to get these goods out f a s t e r ! "

It is true that we can go anywhere we desire and faster than necessary; but few there are who realize that it is time to ask where it is most worth-while to go. W e have become a race of Jehus, driving "furiously." But if in Bible times Jehu drove furiously, what in this day and age shall we characterize our automobile driving? So swift and careless is our driving, that fatal accidents are mounting up at a terrific rate. Tn 1926 alone the price of speed was approximately 23,000 deaths and hundreds of thousands injured. In our h u r r y to save time, we have no time to save ourselves. W e are conscious only of a wild desire for speed. W e iace along, seeing things all in a blur and not as they are meant to be seen. Blind and deaf to everything about us, we rush madly onwardâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;only to t u r n around and rush back again. In such an age of hurry and speed, youth is criticized as being the most to blame. Youth says he has to go fast to keep up with the way his heart is beating and the way the world is moving. " W h a t ' s life for, if it isn't to be lived?" we ask in derision of those who warn us to consider how we are going and where. A man, aiming to reach an objective several hundred paces away, appears ridiculous were he to take a circuitous path instead of going straight to his destination. But this man knows the dangers of the straight course leading through marsh and quick-sand. W e ask, Is the shortest distance between two points always the surest and safest.' Youth laughs at such caution. T h e young desire to reach their destination in the quickest way, and do not stop to think of dangers or consequences. It matters not that others wish to move slowly, youth still wants to go "on the wings of the wind." Also in college, life is a continual rush f r o m one lecture room to another, f r o m this meeting to that meeting. The crowded curricula, the ever-multiplying student activities, and "all the full steam and weighted throttles of modern efficiency are pushing out of college life the one element that should be characteristic of i t â&#x20AC;&#x201D; t i m e t i m e for thinking, time for ruminating, and time for dreaming.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;time for becoming true and real personalities. Youth however is not alone at fault. The American nation as a whole, foreigners claim, is altogether too restless. T h e y condemn us for making a "great show of h u r r y . " Criticisms of America one hundred years ago have not changed from those of today. W e are still doing things with "bedazzling speed." The English declare that we eat in such perfect silence and with such rapidity that we have finished before they have had time to start. At home, we are said to be so occupied with business and other affairs, that we lack the "vivacity, ideas, and feelings ' for spending the evening in conversation. Also, according to Europeans, we rush into marriages. O u r numerous divorces are attributed to hurried wedlock. "It almost seems chic to run off to Nevada to be divorced." Then, again, we are accused of being too anxious to make money. Y e s ; Lindbergh, young, modest and daring, proved to be a revelation to foreigners when he scorned offers of money. A foreign critic says of us Americans: "Their eyes are astoundingly outward-looking. They peer out into the world, seeming to run in advance of the biain behind them. O f t e n they are very beautiful in their eagerness and vivacity, m

â&#x20AC;˘ m i l e s t o n e :

but for a European they are almost terrifying. Their vigilance is so unrelaxing, one feels as if they would never find rest in inward contemplation and never escape the pressure of tilings by inner seclusion." America in its mad desire for speed is neglecting its physical and spiritual development. Dr. \ \ illiams of N e w York City says that the modern rush and hurry, the high pressure methods, and the excessive wear and tear explain at times many disturbed functions of the body. 1 he demands of life require physical fitness. W e must needs be able to withstand the strain of overwork, the worries and sorrows of failure and should be able to overcome defeat. Flapper Fanny wisely says that the " f a s t e r you travel the sooner age catches you." I n this world of trolley-cars, taxicabs, rapid-transit systems, automobiles, airplanes, radio messages, we must learn to cultivate poise and tranquillity. I ask. A r e we obliged to be in a h u r r y ? Is this mad rush bringing us more contentment ? A young student and a hobo were sitting around a camp-fire talking about various things. In the course of the conversation the student asked the hobo whether he was satisfied with the life he was living. T h e hobo replied, "Satisfied? W h y , I'm in hell. T h e y call me Smiling Jim. T h e smile is simply a mask to hide the inner unrest." Yes, no matter how depraved a human heart may be, there is always that searching for peace. " I n w a r d peace gives outward power." Machinery that works the smoothest has the most power. Likewise "the men and women who accomplish the most have the peace of God in their hearts." Selfcontrol or self-discipline therefore, must be acquired, so that we may be poised and calm in the hurly-burly of the world. E v e r y w h e r e we find human wrecks who have failed f o r various reasons to cultivate this control. Dr. Williams advises u s : "Keep your poise! Keep your control! Take the wheel and drive yourself! P u t h u r r y in the back seat and allow no back seat driving!" \ \ ith h u r r y muffled in the back seat, we shall be able to spend more time on the worth-while things in life. In this age, we find very f e w Americans who have acquired an artistic or literary conscience. W h y ? Because we have been so busy trying to keep u p with the dizzy pace of life, that we have not taken time to enjoy the best in art. Today, jazz is our conception of music; tabloid news sheets, our idea of literature. Several young people were spending their summer vacation at a resort. One evening before starting out for a pleasure trip, they noticed that one girl was missing. W h e n they inquired where she was and found that she was reading Shakespeare, the group laughed and sneered at such old-fogey nonsense. Yes, the majority of us are incapable of appreciating the finer, the aesthetic things in life. Once in a long, long while, some glorious scene of nature or a beautiful sunset may hold us in rapturous contemplation a moment. But much of the beauty and sweetness of life passes by unnoticed. W e pay so much attention to the insignificant details of our lives, that we do not take time to meditate. " W e hurtle

along at break-neck speed, physically and spiritually, f o r f e a r of the drabness a n d futility we might feel if we slowed d o w n . " But if we wish to gain mo re in this life of ours, we m u s t think. W e must have leisure time of o u r own. Of course we find t h a t there are some in this world with too much leisure. T h e y are d r e a m i n g of the great things they will d o ; but they never realize their dreams. T h e r e is a golden mean between finding time to live and killing time.

" H i e peace that passeth u n d e r s t a n d i n g " cannot come to one w h o is mentally and physically in a h u r r y . A n d so in the midst of this confusion, this blind and thoughtless rush, this g r a s p i n g and fighting, let us listen to the cry to T o l s t o y : — ' In the name of God, stop a moment, Cease your work, look about you!" O r to the w o r d s of our poet friend, Whittier:—• "Drop thy still dews of quietness, Till all our strivings cease; Take from our souls the strain and stress. And let our ordered lives confess The beauty of thy peace."

I here appeared recently an intriguing cartoon by McCutcheon entitled. Lindbergh Makes Old Ideals Fashionable Again. In this cartoon there stands at the parting of the way a typical American youth—puzzled. Shall he pursue pleasure's primrose pathway, or climb the glorious Lindbergh trail? As if shaken out of his stupor, or momentarily withdrawn f r o m the maze of the mob he turns his gaze to the sign-post designating " T h e Lindbergh W a y . " O n this' sign-post are enumerated the ideals—ambition, achievement, hard work—not made fashionable, but exemplified, let us say, by America's ace of the air. Along the narrow, winding, up-hill pathway, on which the artist has painted not a single footprint ot a climbing human soul, stands the crowd,—cheering", shouting, yelling—and e \ e n with the same breath, perhaps, scoffing, sneering, and jeering. Yes. the American crowd, in one breath of wildest frenzy, acclaiming its ambitious, hardworking, achieving hero of the air, and in another, deriding the clean-living, morally courageous, self-reliant individualist that Lindbergh is. I n this sketch, why did the artist not picture " L i n d y " with doffed hat acknowledging the frenzied, fra nt i c acclamations of the t h r o n g ? W h y , if old ideals had again been made truly fashionable, did the artist not picture on this ascending pathway to achievement other clambering aspirants to cherished ideals? But n o ; not a trace was left of the hero—even his footprints effaced: not one aspiring soul following in the w a y ! And yet, from the maddened herd come taunting ridicule and uproarious applause !

O u r s is an age of achievement. M o d e r n civilization w e a r s the laurels of amazing discoveries in the realm of science, of momentous f o r w a r d strides in the institution and development of governments, of rapid progress in the field of industry, of unparalleled expansion in education. Rut, with all o u r material progress, we remain, and continue to become more and more, a nation of imitators. A n d w h y ? Because, friends, we fail to realize that these scientific, political, commercial, and intellectual accomplishments which you and I share are not our accomplishments,—they are the products of individual minds. Mentally lazy, we appropriate to ourselves transmitted t r e a s u r e s of thought, won f o r us by dint of sacrifice and toil, by some man of original ideas, who, because of his innovation and our innate hatred of new ideas, was compelled to stand alone amid the jeers and scofifs of angry mobs. W e are passive a u t o m a t o n s ; held in the strong g r a s p of c u s t o m ; manacled by the shackles of tradition. W e are shaped to the pattern of environment and social p r e s s u r e ; we are subjected and reconciled to a r b i t r a r y dictums and conventional practices; we are paled in the d o g m a s and f o r m u l a s . Moreover, the speed and whirl of twentieth-century progress,—progress, you say?—this' has dizzied m e n . it has stifled and suffocated the individual's desire f o r fuller expression of his creative f a c u l t i e s ; it has dragged fatigued and panting humanity into the rut of least resistance and said. Come, rest here awhile. Instead of men, it has made of us cogs in an intricate, materialistic, machine-like society, contrived by the s e l f - r e g a r d i n g plutocrat, and designed f o r production. F e a r f u l and irreparable has been the physical and spiritual loss to the common man, upon whom the burden of our material progress has fallen. Yes. friends, "III fares the land to hast'ning ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates and men decay." Stiiking manifestations of crowd-spirit may be cited at random. T h e y are m a n i f o l d ; they are the rule a m o n g o u r American populace. T h e y illustrate graphically, and pathetically too, how the h u m a n "cog," who, in a modern industrial plant, and here, u n f o r t u n a t e l y , I m u s t include also the m o d e r n educational institution,—who, I say, having screwed on " n u t number 66" or turned in "bolt n u m b e r 19" f o r eight or ten monotonous h o u r s , seeks his self-indulgence— rarely self-improvement—in following the m a d d i n g crowd. Daily, one-third of our counti y s population tread the beaten paths to our motion picture theatres, to them but retreats f r o m physical exertion and places where they do not have to think—good " h a n g - o u t s . " O n e h u n d r e d seventeen thousand h a t s and derbies, mixed with those more collegiate "bareheads," last fall saw N o t r e Dame boot the pigskin over the goal-post to defeat the University of S o u t h e r n California.

Debating Debating at H o p e has been p u r s u e d the past year by a certain evil j i n x and the results are not very satisfactory. Debating as an activity has difficulty maintaining itself in the institution because of the lack of complete support of those in authority. Obstacles encountered by reason of this condition, plus the f a c t that the squad consisted largely of inexperienced men, united to play havoc with the hopes tor a great debating season in 1928. Accepting the handicaps. Coach Irwin J. Lubbers began his work with the squad in preparation f o r the f o u r scheduled contests of the Michigan Debating -eague. I hat student enthusiasm had not abated is indicated in the goodly n u m ber who paiticipated in the elimination contests. T h e undesirable condition soon dispelled hopes, but an effort was made to c a r r y on in spite of it and the several debaters p e r f o r m e d creditably. Of the f o u r rival college teams met d u r i n g the season H o p e w a s defeated by three and victorious over one. A good brand of debating was displayed in most of the contests and the decisions were close. All debating activity of the college is conducted u n d e r the auspices of the local chapter of the national Pi K a p p a Delta forensic f r a t e r n i t y . J o h n M u l d e r holds the presidency of this chapter. T h e society is h o n o r a r y in n a t u r e and m e m bership includes all who have represented H o p e in one or m or e forensic contests. T h e proposition f o r debate this year w a s a timely one, " R e s o l v e d : T h a t out present Latin A m e r i c a n policy be condemned." T h e question occasioned a spirited clash of opinion in the m a j o r i t y of debates, the controversial points being the right of the United States to intervene in Latin America and the success of the policy, measured in terms of actual benefit to both nations concerned. A s t u d y of this i m p o r t a n t subject and presentation of it to others yields compensations f o r all effort expended.

Pi Kappa Delta A l t h o smallness of m e m b e r s h i p h a s seriously handicapped the local Pi K a p p a Delta C hapter d u r i n g the past year, it has nevertheless enjoyed a successful season. It is only d u r i n g a short spring season that the local g r o u p reaches a desirable size. G r a d u a t i o n depletes the r a n k s and each Fall sees every member holding an office. U n d e r such conditions, the organization seeks to foster all forensic e n t e r p r i s e s on the H o p e Campus. M e m b e r s h i p is confined to those students w h o have taken part in one or m o r e inter-collegiate debates or oratorical meets. O p p o r t u n i t y f o r such activity is given t h r o u g h H o p e ' s m e m b e r s h i p in the Michigan Debating and Oratorical Leagues. Additional competition is possible at the intersectional and national convention of the Pi K a p p a Delta. T h e f r a t e r n i t y is a purely h o n o r a r y one and offers little o p p o r t u n i t y f o r social activity. A t t e m p t s are being m a d e to popularize the a n n u a l spring supper a m o n g the active and alumni members. It will be possible to create a greater interest in forensic p r o j e c t s and a larger c h a p t e r will result. O F F I C E R S

A Bit O' Seriousness

THOUGHTS AND THINKERS I houghts are like the pieces of a picture puzzle picked up here and there and everywhere. Whoever succeeds in putting his thoughts together to f o r m the right picture at the light time is an educated person. Once in a while someone succeeds in finding a thought all his own, far more beautiful, far more real than any he has picked up. Such a one is a genius. Many people refuse to possess such things as thoughts. It will always be the duty of the thinker to do the thinking for a thousand others. So, when the thinkers delight in mixing up their thoughts just to find out how grotesque or common they can make their real ideas,—woe unto the thousand!

BROAD-MINDEDNESS Some people travel to get it. Some assume an attitude of indiflference towards their fellow beings and towards their actions, and think they have it. And others are lax and indulgent as to thought and duty and call themselves broadminded. But one does not find broadmindedness in foreign travel, unless he travels with the purpose of understanding foreigners and their customs; he cannot be indifferent unless he is indifferent to those things which he has learned are indifferent; he cannot be lax in his judgment unless it is time to show mercy. b o r what is broad-mindedness if it is not understanding. I wouldn't be cynical—• It clouds the sun I wouldn't be too practical It's a dreary road to run. 'Cause where there's work— There's f u n ! I wouldn't be always happy It's wearisome. E. T . ' 2 9

T h e Anchor

N a t u r e s noblest gift, my gray goose quill"—says Byron—"that mighty instrument of little men." For one long year we members of the Anchor stafF have faithfully dipped our pens and have poured our efforts, our time, and our ideas into this college publication. O u r college paper has filled an important and unique place on this campus. W e have endeavored to record the important events on our school calendar, to maintain an interest in other schools' activities, and to represent our Alma Mater to the outside world. O u r policy has been liberal and broad-minded. W e have truly tried to reflect the life on the campus and have endeavored to raise it as well—for the press is a power for molding opinion and stimulating student thought. Frequently, we have startled the student body and alumni out of their smug complacency with radical editorials. It is not all in vain for we have at least created a stir which is less to be detested than the apathy of disinterestedness. W e may have been, at times, radical and destructive, but through it all we have tried to inspire and uplift campus life—for we have had the welfare of Hope at heart. W e have done our best to rouse a loyal and enthusiastic school spirit and to foster a feeling of good fellowship. Every member on the staff has played his part in making the Anchor a bigger and better paper. W e have increased the size of the paper and worked for a strongei editorial system. W e have tried to make the Anchor more interesting and readable by introducing cuts, cartoons, and other feature material. This practice has been an innovation and though it has been commended it also has often been denounced as bordering on the sensational. A b o \ e all we have not taken ourselves too seriously; we have retained our sense of humor and have philosophically smiled at the idiocyncracies of life; and. though we have not fully realized our ideals, we hope we can make our exit with the thought that the Anchor has played a greater and greater part in the life of Hope College—that "then pen has truly become a clarion."

Milestone I h c M I L E S T O N E of 1 9 2 8 is the record in picture and print of the year's activity ; it is a p o r t r a y a l of student life, of the w o r k and the play on the c a m p u s ; it is a \ oice proclaiming to the rest of the world the H o p e College of today,â&#x20AC;&#x201D; her achievements and victories, her traditions and spirit, her principles and the ideals which she pursues. A n n u a l s have been published by the junior classes of the institution f o r thirteen successive years and this one n u m b e r s fourteen. Alw a y s it has been the Spirit of H o p e , alert and active, which has u r g e d students to the task. T h e year of 1927-28 has been a year of achievement, of building at H o p e . W e have stood by and watched the s t r u c t u r e of Colonial Memorial s t r u c t u r e begin to rise; day by day we have seen it grow into a living reality, bearing testimony to the continual u p w a r d striving of the institution, f o r e s h a d o w i n g .yet greater things f o r H o p e . T h i s rising s t r u c t u r e has a significance. H o p e is concerned with a similar process in each individual. T r a i n i n g of intellect, building of character, development of personality in the light of the highest things of lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it is a definite f u r t h e r i n g of these aims t h a t measures off H o p e ' s milestones of success. T h i s success is many-sided. It is the glory of competition with rival colleges; it is the satisfaction of giving all you have f o r the accomplishment of a given t a s k ; it is the pleasure of h a p p y association with fellow-Hopeites; it is the realization of the g r o w i n g powers of each individual; it is the finding of oneself in the scheme of things. Vm

T h e members of the Staff of 1928 have put f o r t h efforts in order that a record of this m a y always be had. Reverses have come. T h e work has not always been easy. \ et we are glad to do it, believing that in the completion of the task we should find an ample reward and that in the p e r f o r m i n g of it we could be of service to o u r Alma M a t e r and to those w h o have chosen to call themselves Hopeites.

T o O u r Fellow Classmates and Friends; T o All Loyal Hopeites:

It is here that we, on whom the Class of '29 bestowed the responsibility and privilege of producing Hope's fourteenth Annual, wish to express our appreciation to all those who have so willingly assisted in making this 1 9 2 8 M I L E S T O N E a reality. The scenic section of this book is largely a contribution of the Jones Studio. T h e excellent photography is a production of the Lacey Studio. T o both we are indebted for their splendid cooperation evidenced by their interest in this student publication. A thank-you to the business men of Holland, to the patrons of our advertising section, to all our subscribers without whose cooperation this book would be impossible, is also in order. And lastly, but in no way slightingly, we say thank you, to all those who have lent their talents to assist in the work. The fine cooperation of the staff members is responsible f o r whatever measure of success we may have attained. W e are especially grateful to those members of the Sophomore class, Gerrit Vanden Bos and Alvin De Vries, and to John Moedt, a Senior, who have ably assisted the art editor. i he work has been intensely interesting, bearing with it not only a responsibility but a priceless privilege as well. W e truly appreciate the opportunity of portraying Hope College Life through picture and print in these pages.

Sorosis

"The virgin moon— Her golden depths Alive with friendship's pearls— Enfolds simplicity of Strength, Honor's nobility." A real part of H o p e College life, and a very precious part—like the jeweled p e n d a n t of a plain gold necklace—that is w h a t Sorosis is to her daughters. 'W hat is so pleasant as meeting with a group, with w h o m one can relax upon the r e s t f u l obligations of f r i e n d s h i p ? W h a t so encouraging as the interest of those who c o u n t ? W h a t so enlightening as the honest, unbiased criticism of y o u r equals? W h a t is more b e a u t i f u l t h a n the spirit t h a t searches f o r the t r u t h in m a n n e r s past and present, and seeks to use that t r u t h in building stronger, more symmetrical lives? ^ hen and honors oe able to to learn to

Delphi

"Delphi sisters proudly gather, Strong, united, true."

M a n y h u n d r e d s of years ago, the Greeks used to climb old Mt. P a r n a s s u s to learn f r o m the wisdom of the Delphi oracle. T o d a y , Delphi sisters g a t h e r each week f o r the same purpose, in our Society room. First of all, we meet f o r cultural pursuits, to obtain knowledge that comes f r o m contact with others. T o us, this means scholarship and character building, ideals of Delphi girls. But we also meet f o r the pleasure of these friendly gatherings, for we believe in social life and generous enthusiasms. Because of our Society, College has meant m or e to us than striving a f t e r knowledge. College days are made brighter and happier by the friendships f o r m e d in Delphi s name, f o r these, we are certain. T i m e can never sever. M a y we ever be w o r t h y of carrying the O r a n g e and Blue, colors of the A l m a M a t e r we love, t r u e to the Gold and Blue of Delphi!

"We raise a song to Delphi With a heart that is loyal and true. We raise a shout for Delphi, And our song echoes back from the blue. We hail thee, dear old Delphi, And the Heavens return the song; For, our love for thee will be lasting. Gold and blue, we will love thee long!"

Learing high our s t a n d a r d of "Love, H o n o r , and Success," we are a g r o u p p u r p o s i n g development of individuality, singly and collectivelv, f o r the attainment of greater u s e f u l n e s s to o u r A l m a M a t e r . I his, because we say with R a l p h W a l d o E m e r s o n , "it is easy in the world to live a f t e r the world's o p i n i o n ; it is easy in solitude to live a f t e r your o w n ; but the great m a n is he w h o in the midst of the crowd keeps with p e r f e c t sweetness the independence of solitude." Divine-providence has m a d e a place f o r every man. T h e degree to which each fills his place is gauged by the cloak of education he wears. E a c h must make his cloak of education, or of individuality, and the established curriculum gives at its best but a formless gown. W e believe that the function of a literary society is to tailor each member's gown to a m or e perfect fit by providing means f o r the application of theories learned to his particular aims and ideals. H a n d in h a n d with the intellectual development is the ever living, ever present, E m e r s o n i a n Fellowship by which each member is broadened morally and socially. E a c h member of our beloved P h i T a u N u is a developing, individual, co-operating link in the chain of E m e r s o n i a n Fellowship which is bound together with loyalty and is w o r k i n g f o r Success t h r o u g h Love and H o n o r . "Then, though bright college years, shortest, best of our days. Shall fade with the ebbing sea's tide; Still shineth the light through our memory's haze, Of our friendships that ever abide."

W h a t girl could ever forget her college d a y s ? T h e y are painted indelibly upon our m e m o r y . Neither time nor experience has the power to erase them. A n d still, a m o n g all these memorable days, are some which stand out first a n d foremost, some which we cannot help but think of with a little m o r e poignant memory. These days are symbolized f o r us by the lavender and gold of the Dorian standard. U n d e r this standard, we strive together, now and always, f o r "simplicity of m a n n e r , strength of purpose, and beauty of character." T h i s is our goal, to be obtained with the help of D o r i a n and o u r Dorian sisters. W e believe "that f r i e n d s h i p is one of the most precious g i f t s of life," a g i f t to be sought a f t e r , held and cherished. W i t h i n the circle of Dorian we first begin t o develop this g i f t . But the desire to be a f r i e n d is not a thing which can be limited to the n a r r o w confines of a single g r o u p ; instead it m u s t reach out t o embrace all humanity. It is, however, within the smaller g r o u p that we find the best there is in friendship. H e r e , we give and receive the best of all things worthwhile, secure in the love and u n d e r s t a n d i n g of each member. Together, we strive to fit ourselves to obtain and to hold successfully o u r appointed place in the world. T h i s will be the test of t r u e worth.

T h u s , ever reaching u p w a r d t o w a r d the highest ideals of strength, simplicity, t r u t h , loyalty, and love which will be our stay in years to come, our hearts will ever be t r u e to D o r i a n and o u r A l m a M a t e r . T o them we owe a debt which it is beyond our power to pay. O F F I C E R S

Addison

Some men find their place in life and do the greatest amount of good possible; others grope a r o u n d , do nothing f o r h u m a n welfare, and become a detriment to mankind. 1 his is the difference between an educated and a n uneducated man. N o m a n can accomplish a n y t h i n g if he does not have the t r u s t of his fellowmen, he can u n d e r t a k e nothing if he does not take the initiative and show his leadership; and last, he is helpless if he is not cultured. E v e r y college man has a desire f o r good fellowship to be enjoyed in an atmosphere t h a t bespeaks of culture and refinement w h e r e each man has a confidential t r u s t in his fellow society man. O u r motto of "Fidelity, Leadership, and C u l t u r e " has been o u r aim and the guiding star which has enabled us to weather the storms and conflicts. W e w a n t our fidelity to lead to a g r e a t e r fidelity; we desire to be leaders a m o n g m e n ; we long f o r the culture and refinement which makes life w o r t h living. W i t h records of the past to inspire and encourage us, we confidently t u r n to the f u t u r e , fully assured that the final outcome can mean only success. W e have overcome some obstacles, won some victories and mastered some principles. It is our motto to praise the s t a n d a r d s of our fellowmen and thereby raise the s t a n d a r d s of dear old Hope. Days at Hope must have their sunset, After night new days will dawn. But fond memories e'er must call us To the halls from which we've gone. When old age with white has crowned us. And our eyes are not so bright, We'll recall those happy hours 'Neath the Purple and the White." O F F I C E R S

Dickensian

T h e motto, " W e ' r e not on the heights but going u p w a r d , " can well be applied to the youngest Society on the campus. D u r i n g its brief existence Dickensian has not been inactive. In membership the society has g r o w n to almost its constitutional allowance. I n respect to spirit, increasing interest has called f o r t h greater endeavors. These facts together with the rendition of specially prepared literary programs, and the t r u e value of constructive as well as destructive criticism, are vital factors in the development of the members that shall remain of permanent value to them. T h e lure of seeking new friendships should not be ignored as an incentive to the members. T r u e , active, productive f r i e n d s h i p is the only one t h a t is practiced. It d e m a n d s above all an unselfish spirit. T h e contact between the members while working together provides the opportunity f o r this fuller f r i e n d ship. It is expressed t h r o u g h the co-operation of all the members f o r the good of the Society with the f u r t h e r aim of promoting the best interests of the school. But this is not all. Although Dickensian is not at the zenith of her growth, she is continuing on the path of glorious achievement, beyond the victorious upw a r d trend of the past. Y o u n g men are not only receiving benefits t h a t are lasting to themselves but there are always others following in their train, f o r whom Dickensian also ofifers a greater appreciation of life, a life that is made f u l l e r by active f r i e n d s h i p coupled with a sense of increasing lovalty to the best. W e can but say, " S h i n e "on, ye bright lights of Dickensian. K e e p all the members in the glow of the u p w a r d march. Y o u r s is the task to keep the Black and O r a n g e waving with the O r a n g e and B l u e ! Ye bright lights of Dickensian, shine on f o r the t r u e spirit of H o p e and your reward shall be sure." "Possunt

a Minerva

"Minerva, to thee we our Loyalty Pledge." Loyalty, indeed, has been the one o u t s t a n d i n g f e a t u r e that has characterized Minerva ever since it was organized in 1896. It was the first society on the campus, then a combination of college and p r e p a r a t o r y girls, but an increase in n u m b e r necessitated a separation. N o w , M i n e r v a is the p r e p a r a t o r y girl's society. As we pass another Milestone and look back over a little more than a quarter ot a century, we feel that her high ideals and noble aspirations have not existed in vain. 1 hrough their f a i t h f u l n e s s and steadfastness of purpose we are s p u r r e d on with renewed vigor. H e r patron goddess has. indeed, cherished her. and has blessed her daughters with a rich m e a s u r e of that wisdom which only a literary society can a f f o r d . . â&#x20AC;˘.vt P r e s e r i t we have an enrollment of only eight members, but through their aithfulness and loyalty they shall still endeavor to maintain their w o r t h Jv standards.

Ulfilas Club A m o n g the student body are still several who. realizing the beauty of the Holland language, are desirous of mastering it in order to be able to converse fluently in the tongue of their f o r e f a t h e r s . These, with the aid of P r o f e s s o r W e l m e r s , have reorganized the Ulfilas Club. M e m b e r s h i p is open to all students who have any ability in speaking the Holland language or interest in it as a literary study. Organized in 1887, and temporarily disbanded since 1924. the Ulfilas Club again holds sacred the traditions of Hope. Its aim is to help its members, and consequently others, in the appreciation of original literary productions f r o m the Land of the Dikes. At weekly meetings the members are also given the opportunity to give their contributions b}' w a y of literary n u m b e r s and recitations. It has long been the custom to give a public p r o g r a m each year. T h e unique f e a t u r e of this year s p r o g r a m was the presentation of the Shakespearian play, " J u l i u s Caesar," in the Holland language.

Chemistry Club O n e who reads the signs of the times can readily see that Chemistry is of vital importance to the world. It is not surprising, t h e r e f o r e , that a subject of such infinite variety and interest c o m m a n d s the attention of the younger generation. Although the H o p e College Chemistry Club is an i n f a n t , as f a r as years are concerned, nevertheless, it w a x e s strong with its spirit of youth and vitality. Its main p u r p o s e is to stimulate good fellowship a m o n g its members. T h e club is u n d e r the leadership of Doctor \ an Zyl, who by his active interest and constant loyalty has done much to make the club g r o w and prosper. T h o s e students who plan to make chemistry their life study and have proved themselves capable are eligible f o r membership. j 3j i;

I I

T h e regular p r o g r a m s are held ever}^ three weeks and consist of papers given by the members and dealing with some phase of chemistry. Lectures are also given by outside speakers w h o have had practical experience in the industry. In this way a breadth of thought and feeling is obtained by observers f r o m two dififerent views. Students of a subject so extensive as chemistry have an interest in all phases of its progress and members of the Club find the p r o g r a m s instructive and beneficial. O F F I C E R S

Pre-Medic Club M a n is the product of the community. Tn every g r o u p of people, whether it be savage or civilized, there grow u p customs and fixed w a y s of acting and thinking. A child not only inherits f r o m his parents certain instincts and impulses to action, which are rooted in his physical o r g a n i s m ; he becomes also a part of a social system or way of livng, which is m a d e u p of a great variety of customs, usages, and laws. T h e s e factors largely determine the kind of a life man will lead and the better these conditions, the better and easier m a n ' s existence will be. A s we enter our life work, we feel a keen sense of duty. W e feel as if we have a definite task to p e r f o r m . O u r aim is to improve these sociological conditions of man.

Athletics play a definite part in the work of an educational institution. Tt is the classroom and the gymnasium cooperating that will accomplish the most for the individual student. Athletics accomplish two m a j o r t h i n g s : they develop a m a n physically and they assist in the formation of character. H a r d training makes f o r strong well-developed bodies and a p o w e r f u l physique. T h e work is a builder of character, making the athlete every inch a man. Participation in sports develops individual initiative, perseverance, and a determination to overcome all obstacles. A s a member of a team the athlete must learn the necessity of cooperation and self-sacrifice. Proper team play and team spirit inculcate into the individual habits which will be of value to him in later life. Good sportsmanship and a desire for fair play are qualities which an athlete must possess. Diligent training and practice, throwing yourself into the game for all you are worth, playing to win, yet not fearing to lose, and always playing like a true sportsman,- -these are the things which build character. H o p e College has always maintained a high standard of sportsmanship, It is traditional and has helped to mold the character of the institution. T o win games at any cost-窶馬ever! H o p e stands f o r something nobler; she aims at something higher than a victory unfairly won. T e a m s must fight, but they must fight fairly. Hope is a member of the M. I. A. A. and meets the competition of rival colleges in the sports of football, basketball, baseball, and track. T e a m s are turned out for each one of these sports. Also, gym classes are conducted for the benefit of the studentry. These various duties require long hours of service, but the work is interesting and the satisfaction worth while.

A N e w E r a in Hope's Athletics

] he Athletic Board of Hope College is strictly a student organization. It pui poses to promote athletic activity and to raise f u n d s in financing all intercollegiate sports. Each successive board has contended with these problems in the hope that they might be of service to both team and coach. All have met the problem of creating an enthusiastic atmosphere and exacting proper support fi cm the student body for such athletic games. l o give the proper impetus to secure this demand has been a task more difficult than it may appear to be in pi int. ^ et a reaction has set in, favorable to the cause. The general tendency has served to promote a new era in Hope College athletics. The student body has displayed its spirit and both team and coach have felt this interest and enthusiasm to great advantage. Students on the campus and the local sport fans have also remarked favorably of the new enthusiasm.

1 he ground has been prepared f o r greater success in the f u t u r e and the outlook is encouraging. It has been a slow and difficult start, but, if handled correctly, it may eventually bring proper support to our Athletic Department. Certain mass meetings of the year have added fuel to student enthusiasm. An excellent example of what a Hope student body can do when it receives the inspiration of a pep meeting was shown on the night when the Alma Quintet was entertained by Hope College. The game was the talk of the school and of the town 1 he inauguration of a bon-fire to usher in the football season has received a startâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;small but nevertheless auspicious. It all means that more high class mass meetings are desired to keep the group at a definite pitch of enthusiasm throughout the year. Then, again, a carnival was sponsored by the Athletic Board this year. It served to displace the "fun-nites' of last year. It was a marked success, the studentry responding with a will. It added a new form of pep and enthusiasm novel yet entertaining. It shows that Hope College is becoming "athletically" alive. It serves to intensify M. I. A. A. competition. It gives confidence to our teams, and it helps to show results in the percentage column. To bring out winners means co-operation between team and student body. Realization of this is spreading over the studentry and augurs well for athletics at Hope.

Inability to hit when hits were most needed cost H o p e the next game against Kazoo College by the score of 3 to 1. Cole and R.

T h e game was won by the Upstaters 11 to 8. Both teams hit about evenly, but since Mt. Pleasant bunched their safeties to make a bad inning f o r Hope, they won the game. Van Lente, in his first attempt, pitched a fine game. I he next day proved to be an ideal one f o r baseball and Hope played Alma at Alma. The Dutchmen were forced to take a 9 to 4 defeat. Hope outhit Alma and, though Cole's pitching was superior to that of the Alma hurler, the ragged play in the infield in two instances resulted in Alma scores sufficient to give them the game.

O n the 4th of May, H o p e obtained revenge f r o m the Kazoo College team by beating them 1 to 0 in a beautifully-played game. Air-tight ball t h r o u g h o u t m a d e it one of the outstanding H o p e p e r f o r m a n c e s and an exhibition of playing in a veteran style. T h e next day H o p e opposed the strong Michigan State team at E a s t L a n sing and, with Van Lente pitching, the D u t c h m e n gave a good account of themselves, losing by but two runs, 7 and 5. O n the following a f t e r n o o n , H o p e ' s third game in as many days, St. M a r y ' s was forced to go eleven innings at O r c h a r d L a k e b e f o r e she could down the H o p e team 7 to 6.

T h e next day H o p e was again defeated in an eleven inning contest, this time by Albion by the score of 3 to 2. T h e small score indicates the close battle.

T h e Season 1927 H o p e entered upon her first season of M. I. A . A . football last Fall only to labor u n d e r serious handicaps. T h e time-worn hindrance of inconvenient laboratory h o u r s upon the practice sessions made concerted practice f r o m day to day impossible, and even scrimmage had to be discontinued on several occasions because of the limited number reporting f o r practice. Graduation, failure of some to return to Hope, and ineligibility of others, m a d e large gaps in the H o p e line, which had to be filled f r o m reserve material. A f t e r rounding a team into shape, injuries robbed Coach Schouten of Kleis and Nettinga and H o p e ' s chances f o r a winning eleven were blasted. U n d a u n t e d , the team, with Russell Japinga as captain and Schouten as coach, went t h r o u g h a heart-breaking season, but despite defeats, the morale of the team was not broken and they came up smiling on each occasion. O n October 1st, H o p e ' s team, with only six days of practice, traveled to Albion and in a game played in ideal hot baseball weather, was beaten 31 to 0.

Albion, with a large squad, substituted fresh teams. T h e hot sun sapped the resistance of the eleven men playing for Hope and the onslaught of fresh material finally crumbled their defense in the last half, a f t e r having held Albion to a lone touchdown in the first two periods. T h e defeat was no disgrace for Hope, as the team staged a valiant battle against overwhelming odds. Hope's next game was with Hillsdale on October 15th. The game was played before a huge crowd at Riverview P a r k where Hope's aerial attack proved too much f o r the Dales, and H o p e won her only home game, 13 to 6. Rarely has Hope been seen to function in such veteran style as on that day. Hillsdale boasted a team that was being groomed for the M. I. A . A. title, but this game definitely put her out of the running. The first half was a punting duel in which Captain Jappinga had the better of it, although half-time found

both teams scoreless. In the third quarter Russell ja])inga picked up a fumble and raced forty yards for a touchdown, but before the quarter ended, Hillsdale scored on a pass and the count was tied. Both teams then fought desperately to win. and in the last period, a pass to Van Lente for twenty-three yards and five yards added by Xettinga and De Cook placed Hope in a threatening position. On the next play Winter received a pass over the goal line and it was Hope's day of victory. The following Friday the Dutchmen traveled to Flint and an 18 to 7 defeat was handed them by Flint Junior College. This game showed a complete reversal of form as displayed against Hillsdale, although Hope led at the half 7 to 0. Flint Junior staged a plucky comeback in the last half and were fortunate enough to receive a couple breaks of the game which resulted in touchdowns, and Hope was defeated. In this contest both Kleis and Nettinga received badly wrenched knees which kept them out of f u r t h e r competition. T h e injuries were costly as both players figured prominently in Hope's offense. Failure to grasp full advantage of the breaks and lack of the final punch at crucial moments counted heavily in the 19 to 6 defeat handed the crippled Hope eleven the next Saturday by Olivet. Hope, minus the services of Kleis and Nettinga, was not the smooth-working machine that had so completely outclassed Hillsdale two weeks before. Time a f t e r time Hope fought her way to a scoring position but each time she was repulsedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the final drive that results in touchdowns was absent.

On November 5th, Hope s battling but disorganized team invaded the Alma camp and emerged a beaten team. T h e score of 39 to 0 does not give a fair estimate of the lelative strength of the two teams. Hope's line presented the best spirited defense of the season and Alma was forced to resort to an aerial attack in which department she was particularly adept. The victory gave Alma an undisputed claim to the M . I. A. A. title. Armistice Day found Hope engaged in her final tilt of the season with Kazoo College at the Celery City, where two thousand people saw Hope, a f t e r gaining a six point lead at the half, go down to a 26 to 6 defeat. Hope's touchdown was scored on a pass late in the second quarter. Kazoo scored three times in the third and once in the final quarter. 1 he battle was much more interesting than the score would seem to indicate. 1 he contest was replete with sensational plays, the passing game being the chief mode of attack for both teams. It was a hard defeat to accept but it was a memorable achievement for Ivazoo rather than a disgrace f o r Hope w h o gave all she had to stem the tide but to no avail in the eventful third quarter. It is significant that a f t e r the season's pla}^ Captain R. Jappinga and Alvin \ ander Rush were accorded berths on the mythical all M. I. A. A. second team while John Klay received honorable mention. 1 he season held many defeats but f r o m it we learn to "take our losses with a smile and a song and our gains with a wink and a whistle" and to set our eyes on the f u t u r e with the determination that next time victory will be ours.

F r e s h m a n Football T h e one year residence rule, adopted by the M . 1. A. A. late in 1927, gave to H o p e her first opportunity f o r all-Freshman Athletics. H e r e t o f o r e F r e s h m e n had been eligible f o r the varsity but with the adoption of the new rule, F r e s h m e n and varsity athletics w e r e separated. So the first F r e s h m e n football squad came into being in 1927. Coach Schouten, assisted by James T e n Brink, had a fair-sized squad practicing already the first week of school. Besides offering opposition to the varsity each night, the F r e s h m e n also battled with other M . I. A . A. F r e s h m e n squads. T h e game with the Kazoo F r e s h m e n was lost a f t e r a fierce struggle. J o u r n e y i n g to Olivet, the yearlings played a scoreless tie with the Olivet F r e s h m e n . Much credit is due to Coach T e n Brink f o r the good showing of the team. Several men of real ability were discovered d u r i n g the season and Coach Schouten will certainly use them to fill varsity positions. Since f u t u r e teams m u s t take their material f r o m the F r e s h m a a n squad, this branch of sport should gain more prominence in succeeding seasons.

Basketball 1927-28 H a v i n g entered upon her second year in M . I. A . A. basketball competition, H o p e found herself in a three-way tie f o r third place at the end of the season. Most of the Association schools had veteran teams and very high-class basketball was displayed in the M . I. A. A. games. H o p e played the season, m i n u s the services of f o u r players who were expected to compete f o r the O r a n g e and Blue, n a m e l y : Kleis, Jappinga, Cook, and Nettinga. Despite this setback. Coach Schouten whipped into shape a fast and clever quintet, which ever proved itself to be a formidable foe to all opponents and a constant menace in the M . I. A.

T h e following week H o p e traveled to Albion where she was forced to take the short end of a 45-19 score. I he score does not indicate the relative strength of the two teams as w a s shown in a later game. T h r e e nights later H o p e and Michigan State College clashed in what proved to be a nip-and-tuck affair until the last five minutes of play, when State broke loose to achieve a 36-21 victory. It was a great game and a tough one to lose. F e b r u a r y 1, f o u n d Kazoo College at H o p e and, a f t e r a h a r d - f o u g h t game, Kazoo took a 27 to 22 win.

In a non-association game, Kazoo N o r m a l s defeated the Dutchmen, 47-20.

H o p e f o u n d it easy to penetrate the Dales defense, but failed when it came to scoring. O n I^ebruary 14, in one of the best games of the season, the highly-praised K a z o o N o r m a l team was given the scare of their lives. H o p e played hard and contested f o r every point, with the lead changing o f t e n t h r o u g h o u t the game. A basket just b e f o r e the final whistle gave the Normalites a 29-27 victory.

F r e s h m a n Basket Ball 1 he football togs had hardly been tucked away when the call f o r basketball candidates was issued. About twenty-five yearlings responded. Several of the squad reflected considerable court experience but on account of the late one year residence ruling, no F r e s h m e n w e r e qualified to bid f o r varsity positions. Consequently, Coach Schouten aimed to develope an all-Freshmen team. H e was ablv assisted in this phase of his w o r k by " L e e " Kleis. T h e F r e s h m e n team f u r n i s h e d interesting preliminaries to all the varsity games on the local floor, besides, on several occasions, traveling with the varsity, to meet the F r e s h m e n teams of the rival M . I. A . A. colleges. 1 heir record t h r o u g h o u t the season was a creditable one. A s a crowning ^vent they entered the A. A. U. t o u r n a m e n t and remained f o r a third round, by reason of their victory over the Bethanys', a team which, in a pre-season game, gave the varsity interesting opposition. D u r i n g the course of the season with the t e a m ' s development much promising material evidenced itself and no doubt a goodly number of the squad will see first team service d u r i n g a later season. T h o u g h this is the first experiment in an all-Freshmen court team, it has more t h a n justified itself since it is f r o m the present lower classmen that H o p e looks f o r f u t u r e varsity stars.

Gross Country T r a c k 1 he call lor fleet-footed collegians was answered last fall by a willing and eager group of men. I he essentials of long distance running were discussed and a strenuous training season opened. Cross country running demands a great deal of one s time and energy and every man of the squad exerted his best effort for the welfare of the team by daily answering to a strenuous workout. 1 he great event of the searon was the meet at Kalamazoo in which the various representatives of the M. 1. A. A. matched their speed with one another. 1 lope s team accounted for itself very creditably, tieing with Alma for second honors. Captain Dunnewold was first man in for Hope. He captured sixth place while his running mate, Swarthout, finished eighth. During the season the team met with several costly accidents. Hoot was injured in the Kalamazoo meet and Swarthout later turned his ankle. Both men were unable to continue training. With decimated ranks Hope's team did not journey to East Lansing to participate in the State event though the team entertained great hopes of returning from that contest with highest honors. Next year with good coaching and a bit of encouragement from the school, Hope should see a fast team in operation. A few of this year's team will leave, but a fine nucleus will remain about which a record shattering team can easily he built.

Tennis Despite the fact that Hope's 1 ennis \ earn had no tennis courts on which to practice, they made a fair showing during the 1927 season. For the first time in the history of the school, the tennis team represented the Orange and Blue in intercollegiate competition. W . Heydorn, O. Maddaus, N. McCarrol, W . Klerk, and E. Damstra represented Ho]>e in the tennis meets. Maddaus and Damstra won their singles; Heydorn and Damstra won their doubles at Mt. Pleasant. At Alma, Heydorn, Maddaus, and Damstra won their games in singles, and Heydorn and Damstra in doubles also. Hope was outclassed by Olivet: nevertheless, the games played there were very close. At the Intercollegiate Tennis Tournament at Kalamazoo, Heydorn and Damstra represented Hope. Damstra eliminated the Ypsi man in singles, a f t e r which Heydorn and Damstra took defeat at the hands of the Ypsi pair. Enthusiasm has been created in tennis and now that Hope is in the M. I. A. A., we are going to work that enthusiasm into some real interscholastic competition.

Allow Us to Confidentially Dedicate this H u m o r Section T o all that lends aesthetic grandeur to our campus,â&#x20AC;&#x201D; -f- those barbed wire partitions -(- Voorhees' washday exhibitions + that penitentiary effect of the " d o r m ' s " basement

T o those magnanimous souls -|- who

in the dim distant f u t u r e see "those tennis courts" + who sign up f o r a Monday's first hour class on the third floor of V a n Raalte -|- who for f o u r years without i n j u r y or accident have endured the " a f t e r chapel traffic j a m " vn

Preface O n e or two friends to whom I showed this work, having observed that it was not half-bad, and some of my relatives having promised to buy the M I L E S T O N E if it ever came out. T feel I have no right to longer delay its issue. But for this, as one may say public demand, I perhaps should not have ventured to offer these mere "collegiate references" as mental food for the f u t u r e "Englishspeaking ( ?) freshmen and women," entering the doors of this institution. W h a t readers ask nowadays is something that improves, instructs and elevates. This is not the elevator department. I cannot conscientiously recommend it f o r any useful purpose whatever. All I can say is that when you get tired of reading "the best hundred books," you may take this up for a change. Of course, we're all mighty glad to have a school annual, we are all the more glad since we can truly expostulate with others that it is a "collegiate" annual. But we are especially glad that the printers and not to forget our "editor-in-chief" have survived so completely. A f t e r all. when, say twenty years hence, you're a financier, fat and forty, you'll get a whale of a kick out of putting your feet on top of some mahogany desk (with one of "Alma Mater's daughters" at your side), to take down the old M I L E S T O N E , t h u m b over the pages, and chuckle over the old days when the " p r o f s " used to tell you that your last days were destined to be spent in either

the poor house or in the penitentiary. O r , if on the other hand, your lives should fall in less pleasant places and you find yourself inhabiting a two-dollar-a-week hall bedroom on the third-floor back, and a tom-cat is swearing like a medical student by exercising his canary complex on the back-yard fence, w h a t could be sweeter than to reach out. lay your hand on the trusty old M I L E S T O N E , hail it at the nocturnal musician, and then roll over and finish y o u r last f o r t y w i n k s ? A s aforesaid, it certainly is a "collegiate" annual portraying college life. 1 he field was unlimited and it was necessary f o r the Staff to set a m a r k — a n d they ve missed it by far. 1 hey must be highly commended for what they have placed in it and f o r w h a t they have left o u t — v e r y much so! However, casting no reflections upon either the M i l e s t o n e or the Freshmen, it would seem to the impractical observer or to one who had visited the campus in the beginning of the year that part of the comic section had somehow gotten mixed with that of the Freshmen. Vice versa might have been more t r u e to f o r m . Still other minor discrepancies have creepingly crept into the M I L E S T O N E . T h e scenic department for example. All that is aesthetic has found place but no w h e r e do we find a picture of Voorhees' washday. N o w h e r e do we find any resemblance of Van Vleck with its many dilapidated inmates. N o picture shows w h a t rapid progress "all three m e n " are making in the building of the new chapel. A n d in the athletic department we fail to see or read anything about the "tiddley winks s q u a d " or even the results of the "marble shooter's t o u r n amen t . " W h a t is moie. the debating team has classed itself in an entirely different department. Evidently they have abandoned their cane, umbrella, and cuspidor tactics for want of a better method—inappropriate gestures." Inirthermore, when it comes to making a date—that isn't so b a d ; but when i n f o r m a t i o n is needed as to where she lives—Ah, there's the r u b ! W e are glad that two gentlemen of our number have found their place in the social circle and have experienced that difficulty. W e are glad that thev were moved to the extent of helping other " H o p e i t e s " by publishing a Student's Guide. H o w e v e r , a situation of far greater importance—one that has been silent and steadily on the inciease has hit our campus with a diamond-like blow. Being leap year many have leaped before they analyzed, but W H O ? T h a t is the question. T h e answei is not found in the J M I L E S T O N E , SO here s our plea—Make the campus safe for "democracy." A r i s e ! overcome the situation by publishing some directory possibly entitled "Oose Ducky Is U . " But then we can't expect perfection in this vale of death and tears, and as Shakespeare has it; " F r o m the day that you're born Till you ride in a hearse. There's nothing so bad But it mighta been worse."

W i t h such good shops and stores in which to trade as are to be found here, the wonder is that anybody at anytime should consider it necessary to go elsewhere to do any part of his buying. The J.

"Does it take much money to send a boy to college?" asked the Boob. " N o , " replied the cheerful Idiot, "It's keeping them there that takes the coin." O ! T H E S K BOARDING H O U S E S

"Isn't it h a r d , " said the sentimental landlady, "to think this poor little lamb was cut down in its youth to satisfy our appetites?" "Yes," said the sour-faced boarder ( H u n t e r ) , "it is tough." PERFECTLY TERRIBLE

L. D e W o l f e : "I understand that some of these movie kisses last through fifty feet of film.". H . H o s p e r s : " T h a t ' s nothing. I have known some that lasted over half a mile of concrete pavement." W a s it " P e t e " who said—"It won't be long now." FORTIFICATIONS NEEDED, HOWEVER

Give me a room in Van Vleck Hall, W h e r e the race of men go b y ; The men who smoke, and laugh, and haul, Your bed clear up to the sky. W h e r e the "guy" that growls gets paddled in bed, And finds his room—'nuf said. Y e s ! give me a room in Van Vleck Hall With a good lock on the door. Alvin Vandenbush is one man who can succeed just by letting things slide— he's a trombone player. The proprietor of a Wisconsin drug store (Cedar Grove) recently installed a window display that attracted more attention than anything he had ever previously tried. T h e man in question had purchased as an antique an old sofa f r o m a family where seven daughters had been reared and courted. W h e n he took it apart, preparatory to repairing, he found 47 hair pins ; 3 mustache combs ; 46 buttons ; 13 needles; 8 cigarettes; 5 photographs; 217 pins; 6 pocket knives; 15 poker chips; 34 lumps of chewing g u m ; 9 quill toothpicks; 4 button h o o k s ; some grains of cofifee and a vial of headache tablets. R a s t u s : " W h a t fo' you all got yo' pants on wrong side out, niggah?" S a m b o n e : "Cause ah's gonna to de ball tonight and ah wants to git de bag out ob de knees." H o w

POKER

r o m m y Atkins and (^tto Yntema sat together in a poker game. The Britisher held a full house and Ot four of a kind. " I raise you two pounds," quoth Tommy. Ot did not hesitate, "1 ain't exactly onto your currency curves, but I'll bump it up four tons." Earl M o s e r : " A n d why do you want to sell your nightshirt?" \ ic \ er Meulen: "Sure, and what good is it to me now when I've my job of night clerk and sleep in the day times ?" Prof. Kleis: "A diamond is the hardest known substance, inasmuch as it will cut glass." H. Bast: (ilass! M y dear sir, a diamond will even make an impression on a woman's heart." " N o w , children," said the Sunday-school teacher, "I have told you the story of Jonah and the whale. Dean, you may tell me what this story teaches." ) "Yes'm," said Dean, the bright-eyed son of the pastor, "it teaches that you can't keep a good man down." W h y is it you never get to chapel on time in the morning?" demanded Dr. Dimnent angrily. "It's like this, sir," explained the tardy one, "you kept telling me not to watch the clock during school hours, and 1 got so I didn't watch it at home either." P a p a : " W h y did you permit young Fell to kiss you in the parlor last night?" Gertrude H . : "Because I was a f r a i d he'd catch cold in the hall." "Do you really believe in heredity, Langelang?" A lost certainly I do. 1 hat is how 1 came into all my money." Sid went to the circus one day. Resolved to get in without pay, H e crawled under the tent No one knew where he went. F o r the elephants thought he was hay. HIKING

Some co-eds do a lot of hiking. One day one of the girls approached a fai mer upon whose premises she was walking. I he following discourse took place: "I suppose you do not care if I take my daily walk t h r u your o r c h a r d ? " t a n n e r : Of course not, then I don't need a scarecrow." Dear D a d : "Send me some money, I am broke." Dear S o n : "So's your old man." F r i e n d : " Y o u r son must be the idol of his family." Mr. H u g h e s : "Yes, he has been idle for twenty years." Willie: " M a m a , what's that stuck in papa's t h r o a t ? " M o t h e r : " That's papa's Adam's apple." \ \ illie: "And did he swallow it green ?" M o t h e r : "Don't be grotesque, dear, papa wears a brass collar button.'

VISSCHER BROOKS Says "SMILE AT OLD AGE" E v e r y man dreams of a day when he can lean back and say, " T h a t ' s all!" and divide his declining years between a golf course, a book and a good cigar, if he feels so inclined. T h e great m a j o r i t y of men, however, fail to reach this state of financial freedom. So engrossed are they in the present that no trustworthy plans are made to definitely provide for old age. Failure to plan for the future results in an appalling number of men being dependent at age 65. The man who makes realities of his dreams arranges a definite financial plan, including adequate life insurance f u n d s to provide for the years to come. H e can smile at old age. All N o r t h w e s t e r n Mutual life and endowment contracts are remarkable in their adaptability to meet the needs of the Insured himself, besides giving protection to his family and business during the years of his greatest responsibilities. Your Noi't Invest em Mutual Agent ivill gladly lend his expert assistance in helping you to drazv up a dependable financial plan. Ask for figures.
