which appeared in a 1911 Anchor:

"Athletics, like studies, serve for

delight, for ornament and for abil-

ity. Their chi^f use for delight is

in quiet, solitary exercising; fo r

ornament, is in gymnastic exhibi-

tions; and for ability, is in the de-

velopment and utilization of all

the muscles of the body. . . .

"So if a man's brain needs a

dusting out of the cobwebs, if his

wit needs sharpening, if he wishes

to enjoy life and be strong, let him

engage in some sort of athletics.

If he needs to learn pluck and per-

severance, let him take to running;

if he have not a great amount of

endurance, let him play basketball;

if he wishes to learn to live through

the buffets and cares of this world, let him play football. So every care and shortcoming of man's life may be somewhat overcome by ath-

letics." • • •

We might add that if the women don't fall, just let him earn an " H " and see if he can get rid of

FRIDAY, 13th, JINX

Neither of Hope's orators placed in the finals of the Michigan Speech league contest held at Kal-amazoo Friday, March 13. The un-lucky day may have had something to do with the results as f a r as Hope's orators were concerned.

Angelyn Van Lente delivered her oration, "To the Victors," in the afternoon contest, held in the q u a i n t New England Stetson Chapel. In her oration Miss Van Lente stressed the need of civil service examinations, especially in repard to Michigan.

John Vander Meulen, Jr., deliv-ered his oration, "Pillars of Self-Desire," at the evening contest, also held in the chapel. Mr. Van-der Meulen's oration contained a vital plea against the selfish abuse of political power, and stressed the idea that Christian influence is the only method by which this evil can be corrected.

A small audience of coaches and contestants was greatly augmented by a delegation of 1G Sorosites who went to hear their sorority sister speak.

Albion Second First place in this, the twenty-

ninth annual women's contest, was won by Dorothy Reiser of Wayne university. Second p l a c e was awarded to Kathryn Wells of Al-bion, and third place was won by Elizabeth Mackie of Alma. In the thirty-ninth annual men's contest, first place was won by Harold Har tger of Calvin. Gordon Ander-son representing Michigan State Normal carried off second honors, and Hugh Brenneman of Alma was awarded third place.

"A Plea for Inequality" was the title of the winning oration of Miss Reiser. Her plea was that women should develop the inequalities of the sexes, which women once tried to get rid of. Women should not at tempt to develop the superficial equalities, she i n t e n d e d .

Miss Wells, in her oration, "Ac-claiming Academia," stated that the recent Red investigations of the colleges and the so-called loy-alty tests were curbing the right of a democratic search for the truth.

"Forgotten Women," the oration of Miss Mackie, was a st irr ing plea for the forgotten women who toil for long hours with little pay in our large factories.

Attacks Press Eight men were entered in the

evening contest, and in the opin-ions of the judges it was one of the finest contests they had ever heard. The gold medal oration,

"G'bye, Bill and Janie, have a good time!"

"Hope you sing your solos well, Stryker!"

"Don't any of you get lost in Oostburg!"

Many other similar warnings and farewells will be heard when the bus full of girls' glee club leaves the campus next week for a ten day trip west and back. It is the revival of annual excursions, which were discontinued in 1932.

Visit 4 States Manager Alice Englesman has

arranged the itinerary. Three Oaks, Michigan, is the first stand, from where they will travel to DeMotte, Indiana, then to Fairview and Roseland, Illinois. Milwaukee, Alto, Sheboygan Falls, Friesland, Oost-burg and Randolph are the Wiscon-sin towns to be visited.

The club will sing a concert every night, except perhaps Satur-day, lodge with church members, and continue the following morn-ing.

Other soloists besides Eleanor Stryker and Alice Englesman, are Barbara Dampen, accompanist and pianist, Mildred Vanden Bos who will read to music, and the fresh-man trio, Gertrude Young, Mary Jane Vaupell, and Thelma Kooiker.

The Hope college male double quartette will head east at the same time in two cars and a trailer — for baggage. Detroit, Cleveland, and towns in New York, Rochester and environs, comprise the list which Manager Charles Steketee has arranged.

VAUPELL DIRECTS

Freshmen girls made history for

Hope college on Monday evening,

March 16, v/hen they won a vic-

tory over the sophomore girls in the J. B. Nykerk Contest held at the Carnegie gymnasium. The sophomores were scheduled to win the silver cup which was to be donated by the dean of men, but the pages of the book were turned when the freshmen surprised the entire campus by producing a prize-winning program.

Freshman campaign began early in the fall of the year when ten of their girls challenged girls of the upper class to a "match of mus-cles" across one of the creeks at the Holland Country club. The form of conquest was altered when Dr. Nykerk offered the presenta-tion of a cup which was to be hand-ed down from year to year to the victor of a contest which would contain one oratorical number, one musical selection, and the enact-ment of a one act play.

The Play's the Thing

Under the chairmanship of Mary Jane Vaupell the freshmen organ-ized their troops approximately one month ago and began a determined drive towards the goal which they had set before them. A play en-titled "The Kleptomaniac" was chosen, and try-outs were made for cast parts. Characters who par-ticipated in this play were Mrs. John Burton, (Peggy), played by Gladys Van Lare, Mrs. Valerie Chase Armsby ,a young widow, played by Gertrude Young, Mrs. Charles Dover, a gushing bride, played by Katherine Van Raalte. Mrs. Preston Ashley, (Bertha), played by Louise Hooper, Miss Freda Dixon played by Margaret Allen, Miss Evelyn Evans, a journ-alist, played by Dorothy Vanden Bout, and Katie, Mrs. Burton's

He Must Be Tall With Languishins Look, Sigh Coeds In Describing Ideal Boy

First, however, let it be stated that "Ah-er-OH DEAR! 1 simply

can't tell you! That 's much too personal and embrarrassing! Oh, really, I can't — Well, then, I sup-pose I'll have to if you really want to know. HE'S TALL!" A deep sigh runs right around the table, echoing in the hearts of ten girls. "Oh yes," they sigh weakly — femininely — and smile faintly in true Mona Lisa style.

The explanation of the above is simple. One girl, at a table for ten, was asked to describe her ideal man. At first feigned reluctance; and a f te r that began such a babble of tongues that the Dean cast more than a few disparaging looks on the undaunted ten. A discussion of "My Ideal", however, is not to be stopped by anything less than laryngitis.

Attention, Men Men, in case you are interested,

here is what they want, and it must be admitted that they are de-manding in their requirements.

As stated before, he must be tall, eight voting for "tall", with languishing looks, and two, who are short themselves, voting for medium. All agreed that he should "not be handsome, but not homely either", deciding on "at t ract ive" as safe. Strangely enough only half wanted him dominating or master-ful. Unanimous agreements are that he must be a college graduate, broadminded, well liked on the campus generally, by men as well as women, intelligent, but NOT CONCEITED, kind and thoughtful , and must possess a sense of humor, but be capable of serious moments. His language must be gentlemanly in f ron t of ladies. He must dress neatly, having good taste in ties, wearing well-shined shoes but not battered old hats (emphatic). He must go to church.

Welcome hands from the tower clock beckoned approximately 65 freshmen to come to the Knights of Pythias hall on Wednesday eve-ning, March 3, to attend their first class party. The alarm rang at 8 o'clock when the entire group stood up and sang the Hope college song.

President Paul Boyink served as head watchman and announced the works. The first ten minutes con-sisted of an accordion solo featur-ing Andrew Van Liere with a medley of songs. His numbers in-cluded "Twelfth Street R a g , " "Moon Over Miami" and "Mem-ories." A period of fifteen minutes followed this with the presentation of two readings which were clever-ly portrayed by Esther Bultman.

The third number to pass the time away was ten minutes of song from the freshman trio. The min-utes of Thelma Kooiker, Gertrude Young and Mary Jane Vaupell consisted of "Beautiful Lady in Blue," "Eenie Meenie Mini Mo," and "Where Am I?" Most time was spent in the production of a play entitled "Ann Drives the Auto." Characters of this charming little scene were Ruth Koskamp, Mildred Mulder and John Olert, J r .

At the conclusion of the program Mr. Tower Clock fel t a trifle strange when the entire group of freshies scurried about within his tummy as they played ping pong, pool, bridge, etc. To wind up the evening in t rue festivity coffee and doughnuts were served to the frol-lickers.

The Supreme Court will be forced to get along the best it can without the help of the men's debate squad until next year. The team finished its season with a double round of debates held with Western State March 9.

In the afternoon six debates were held in the classrooms in the chapel, and a f te r a dinner at Voor-hees Ha!l six more debates were held. These debates were not of the usual practice type in that each college furnished three critics to comment on the debates. Dr. Shackson and Chris Walvoord and Joe Esther, former Hope debaters, were the critics.

Those participating in the de-bates were J a y Bush, Eckdal Buys, John Van Wyk, John Vander Meu-len, Harry Boer, Peter Vanden Berg. Ernest Tirrell, Lester Van Tatenhove, Don Droppers, Paul Stewart, James Prins, Wilbur Jacobs, Irvele Harrington, Paul Webinga, Herman Luben, and Wendell Miles.

Next year Hope is looking for a very successful season for the squad loses only four debaters by graduation. Those graduating are John Vander Meulen, John Van Wyk, Jay Bush, and Lester Van Tatenhove. Sixteen experienced debaters should be back next year to continue the record established by the squad this year.

Anchor Makes Colossal Discovery of the Year

FARBMAN TO BE PRESENTED IN FINAL CONCERT OF THE YEAR

Famed Young American Violinist Appears

Here Wed.

Arduous search resulted in, a la California, the most astoundingly colossal discovery of the current year—a New Dealer on Hope's faculty. Do not be over-anxious. He receives his pay check just like the little white children.

In a recent poll of the faculty on the question of the New Deal, the Anchor unearthed very little unusual opinion. The prevailing sentiment seemed to lean slightly away f rom the Administration's policies. Many professors quoted the song, recently a current favor-ite, which involved a thousand negations. A few were non-com-mittal, saying tha t a "yes" or "no" answer was hardly f a i r , for the New Deal has many weaknesses but also many strong points.

RATED "PERFECT"

Harry Farbman, young Ameri-can violinist, will bring to a close a successful series of concerts pre-sented by the Holland choral un-ion next Wednesday evening in the chapel.

This is not Mr. Farbman's first visit to Holland. He has met with enthusiastic audiences here before, so he will probably expect a similar response this time.

Student of Auer Fortunate it was for this youth

that the revolution of Russia sent Leopold Auer to America. Subse-quently Auer became his instructor. Mischa Elman, Jascha Heifitz and Zimbalist are other proteges of the great master. So rapidly did Farb-man advance under his famous teacher that he won the old mas-ters' Chicago scholarship in 1923 and was able to launch on his car-eer when he was eighteen, the age at which the average student be-gins college.

Curiously enough he chose South America for his first field where he was called "the wonder boy" by critical audiences. His scrap book gives evidence of his success in foreign lands. Af ter touring other countries than his own he made his American debut in 1924. Since then he has not lef t the land of his nativity. Farbman enjoys play-ing for colleges and universities particularly, perhaps because he missed the campus life tha t char-acterizes higher education.

His concerts have been applaud-ed from coast to coast. Important symphony orchestras, Boston, Cin-cinnati, Detroit and Minneapolis, have acclaimed his fiddlistic ability as nearly perfect as is humanly possible.

R. J . McLaughlin of the Detroit News says of him, "There is no doubt that he is one of those divine-ly favored mortals fashioned by Providence in the image of a great violinist."

Annual Feature The concert serves as a climax

to the choral union series. The board of directors, headed by Pro-fessor Clarence Kleis, hopes to pre-sent Holland with more of these programs next year. He has had noteworthy cooperation f rom his various committees who have worked unceasingly to make the project a success.

With the same kind of spirit an-other year of effort will do much to fur ther the ideal which the late Professor W. Curtis Snow fos-tered, tha t of placing Holland and Hope college on the map, musical-ly.

Students of the college can do much to encourage t h e (growth

of this embryo enthusiasm for mu-sic attending the concerts and pub-licizing the idea whenever pos-sible.

Vander Laan Named Staff Photographer

"Pictures tha t say 1000 words," will be run in all subsequent issues of the Anchor with the addition of a staff photographer, John "Mike" Vander Laan. Live, candid, human interest campus shots will supple-ment the usual prosaic morgue por-trai ts .

Vander Laan uses an Eas tman "Volenda" candid camera. I t is equipped with an F:3.5 Schneider radionar anast igmat l e n s in a compur rapid shut ter of speed range from 1 to 1/500 of a second.

o BASKETBALL LETTERMEN The athletic board has voted to

present basketball letters to nine members of the varsity squad, the largest number to receive the a -ward in recent basketball history.

This year 's lettermen are:— George Heeringa, William Poppink, Kenneth Vander VeWe, Robert Barber, Don Thomas, Theodore Van Zanden, John Robbert, Harold Nienhuis and Arthur Mc Gilvra.

The Supreme Court will be forced to get along tlie best it can without the help of the men's debate squad until next year. The team finished its season with a double round of debates held with Western State March (.>.

In the afternoon six debates were held in the classrooms in the chapel, and a f te r a dinner at Voor-hees Hall six more debates were held. These debates were not of the usual practice type in that each college furnished three critics to comment on the debates. Dr. Shackson and Chris Walvoord and Joe Esther, former Hope debaters, were the critics.

Those participating in the de-bates were J a y Bush, Eckdal Buys, John Van Wyk, John Vander Meu-len, Harry Boer, Peter Vanden Berg, Ernest Tirrell, Lester Van Tatenhove, Don Droppers, Paul Stewart, James Prins, Wilbur Jacobs, Irvele Harrington, Paul Webinga, Herman Luben, and Wendell Miles.

Next year Hope is looking for a very successful season for the squad loses only four debaters by graduation. Those graduating are John Vander Meulen, John Van Wyk, Jay Bush, and Lester Van Tatenhove. Sixteen experienced lebaters should be back next year to continue the record established by the squad this year.

Anchor Makes Colossal Discovery of the Year

Arduous search resulted in, a la California, the most astoundingly colossal discovery of the current year—a New Dealer on Hope's faculty. Do not be over-anxious. He receives his pay check just like the little white children.

In a recent poll of the faculty on the question of the New Deal, the Anchor unearthed very little unusual opinion. The prevailing sentiment seemed to lean slightly away from the Administration's policies. Many professors quoted the song, recently a current favor-ite, which involved a thousand negations. A few were non-com-mittal, saying tha t a 44yes" or "no" answer was hardly fa i r , for the New Deal has many weaknesses but also many strong points.

Harry Farbman, young Ameri-can violinist, will bring to a close a successful series of concerts pre-sented by the Holland choral un-ion next Wednesday evening in the chapel.

This is not Mr. Farbman's first visit to Holland. He has met with enthusiastic audiences here before, so he will probably expect a similar response this time.

Student of Auer Fortunate it was for this youth

that the revolution of Russia sent Leopold Auer to America. Subse-quently Auer became his instructor. Mischa Elman, Jascha Heifitz and Zimbalist are other proteges of the great master. So rapidly did Farb-man advance under his famous teacher that he won the old mas-ters ' Chicago scholarship in 1923 and was able to launch on his car-eer when he was eighteen, the age at which the average student be-gins college.

Curiously enough he chose South America for his first field where he was called "the wonder boy" by critical audiences. His scrap book gives evidence of his success in foreign lands. Af ter touring other countries than his own he made his American debut in 1924. Since then he has not left the land of his nativity. Farbman enjoys play-ing for colleges and universities particularly, perhaps because he missed the campus life tha t char-acterizes higher education.

His concerts have been applaud-ed from coast to coast. Important symphony orchestras, Boston, Cin-cinnati, Detroit and Minneapolis, have acclaimed his fiddlistic ability as nearly perfect as is humanly possible.

R. J . McLaughlin of the Detroit News says of him, "There is no doubt that he is one of those divine-ly favored mortals fashioned by Providence in the image of a great violinist."

Annual Feature The concert serves as a climax

to the choral union series. The board of directors, headed by Pro-fessor Clarence Kleis, hopes to pre-sent Holland with more of these programs next year. He has had noteworthy cooperation f rom his various committees who have worked unceasingly to make the project a success.

With the same kind of spirit an-other year of effort will do much to fu r ther the ideal which the late Professor W. Curtis Snow fos-tered, tha t of placing Holland and Hope college on the map, musical-ly.

Students of the college can do much to encourage t h e (growtjh

of this embryo enthusiasm for mu-sic attending the concerts and pub-licizing the idea whenever pos-sible.

UriM Hope's alumni has lost another

well-known member recently in the death of Mrs. Alfred Kauffman, 34, of Conklin, Michigan. Mrs. Kauff-man was the former Minnie Hund-ley of the class of 1928.

She came to Hope college f rom Annville, Kentucky, and during her four years at college made many friends in Holland. After gradua-ting, she taught for three years near Conklin, and then in Annville. In June, 1(J34 she married Alfred Kauffman and since then has lived in Conklin. She is sure to be re-membered long by those many fel-low-alumni who knew her as Minnie Hundley.

Dr. Joseph R. Sizoo, a Hope col-lege graduate of the class of 1907, has resigned his post as pastor of the old Presbyterian church in Washington, D. C., in order to accept a call f rom the Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas, F i f th Ave. and 4fith St., New York City. The Collegiate Church is very old, dat-ing back to the time of the Dutch rule in New Amsterdam. It is also an important church whose in-fluence is f a r reaching.

Since his graduation Dr. Sizoo has served as missionary to India for one year, as pastor to Re-formed churches in New York and New Jersey, and in addition has traveled and lectured in Europe. He has returned often to Holland to speak, the last time being a few years ago when he gave the ad-dress at the opening of Hope col-lege.

Twelve years ago Dr. Sizoo ac-cepted the call to the pulpit of the New ^ ork A v e n u e Reformed

He has so gained the love and respect of the people in Washing-ton. however, that they will not 'et him go without making some arrangement whereby he will come back to the Washington church from time to time in the future.

The following excerpt from the Washington Star shows how much Dr. Sizoo was respected in Wash-ington.

"The entire community of Wash-ington appreciated his gif ts and sought to encourage them. He was recognized as an orator entitled to a place in the tradition of not-able preaching in the Nation's Capital. And never on any occasion did he fail to just i fy the confidence, the respect and the affection in which he was held."

DESPAIR

My life—what do I want with it tonight? My mind drags onward, prodded by a weary will— The day has been. Come now, the Night!

So many things 1 truly meant to do I f ea r to ask myself the reckoning! For do 1 dare to grant me Second Chance?

I see me in Life's glass, reflected darkly O'er shadowed by the background of my faul ts ; O'ershadowed by the background of my faults; I see my petty tempers; idle boastings; Ingrat i tudes; and foolish, vain endeavors: Look you—and see me as you've seen me! Know that I know I'm nothing—nothing!

The day has taught me this! The day has been! Come now, the Night!

ELEGE When at last we've found the way Through earth 's meadows, cloaked in When daylight lingers in its course, And we in ours give prayer; Then let us put an end to s t r i fe : Have we not crossed the fields of life?

And when we've come where willows. Plucked by zephyrs, wail and cry, And into weird, soft tones resound On waters flowing by. Let's find some bank upon these streams. Incline our heads in restful dreams!

D O U B T Out of the inky darkness, Out of the raving sea, What is the power that binds us Until E te rn i ty? Blindly we travel f a r the r From the goal we really need; Groping in ut ter selfishness. With our voice, our filth, and greed. With blundering footsteps onward We plod our weary way; Like the statue to the sculptor Our lives are just as clay. And what is the path we should follow What is to be the Grail ? Are we goaded on to a choice Of the wide or narow trai l? What is the cure for such ailment The doubt that ' s in man's hea r t ? Is it life that is cleaner and purer And will the reform ever s t a r t ? It begins when all men know Of a symbol that ' s pure—the dove That the world is one of peace. And our God is one of Love.

How much you mean to me. And how the world has really changed.

Since we've kept company. You made it worth while living.

Out of sorrow you've brought mirth; You made an ideal heaven.

For me down here on earth.

There's nothing I've enjoyed more Than hours spent with you,

I've never said I loved you, But I really think you knew.

To show my depth of grati tude With all my heart , I'm sure,

I write this little love poem, Avec Beaucoup d'amour.

SUPERSTITIOUS, T H E S E ROCHESTER STUDENTS

(By Associated Collegiate Press) Rochester, N. Y. (ACP) Has

higher education abolished super-stition ?

Not on the University of Roches-ter campus. No indeedy. Pet bug-aboos uncovered by a recent depart-ment of sociology investigation in-cluded all the old stand-bys and a few new ones.

There are the men students, for instance, who will wear only a par-ticular "pet" tie on examination days, and those who never say "I hit the books" because of the a-larming effect the phase has on their grades.

Men are f a r more superstitious than women, the investigation shows, and athletes are particularly susceptible. A trackman reported that he never dared shave on the day of a race, and would ra ther run barefoot than wear any but the •first pair of track shoes he ever owned.

Other atheletes rely on a care-ful shining: of their shoes before a contest, o r a wad of gum s tuck on their equipment somewhere. A football man reported on the effic-acy of prayer . He forgot to pray before a game once, he says, and it cost him a broken leg.

that the pho tographer could put the b rea th - t ak ing beauty of the

w e a k e r ( ? ) sex in picture fo rm. It was deucedly annoying, but aw-ful ly nice, f o r the photographer .

Heroines All The heroines f o r the evening

proved to be the ladies of team one who ran away with the game,

winning much as they pleased, by a score of 24 to 17. Led by June

Keif t , the victors bounced out to an 8 to 1 lead at the quar ter , led at the half 14 to 9, and coasted

home dur ing the las t half . Gladys Moerdyke, captain of team two, led

her t eam in a losing fight by scor-ing nine points. Miss (this is get-t ing f o r m a l ) Kei f t led both teams

in scor ing with ten points. A f t e r the debris of the first

game had been cleared away, who should wal tz in but the p a j a m a girls ' outfit led by Ralph (Hula-

hula) De Roo. The sight was brea th- tak ing . Never before under

one roof had such a variety of col-ors been assembled. The fashion

parade fo r p a j a m a s fo r 1936 opened with a bang.

Frosh Not Green

A f t e r the tumul t and the shout-

ing had died (and a f t e r the queens had depar ted) the tilt, the basket-ball game tha t is, got under way. Due to the lack of practice to-gether , the al l -s tar gang — pardon me — the p a j a m a girls, were no

match for the fleet Schouten-coached outfit of f reshmen. They whirled away to a 13 to 2 lead at the q u a r t e r but the al l-s tars came back in the second quar te r to whit-

tle the score down to 23-18 at the half . The i r spur t was only mo-

men ta ry as the greenies piled up a 34-20 lead at the three way mark, and loafed through the last qua r t e r

to win by a 45-30 count.

Tha t ' s all there war., there wasn ' t any more. The first annual al l -s tar

basketball tournament is history. The sui ts have been put away, and the two coaches. Jack Schouten and Bill "Long John" Poppink

have smoked the pipe of peace. The rabid fans have left , and your

correspondent has his feet up on his desk once more, contemplating what next year 's contest will look

like.

The Tip-Off - B y V A N -

Now t h a t the basketball season is over i t is possible to make some final compilations of the campaign.

Hope won 13 and lost 5, which is a seasonal average of .722. Of the 13 games 7 were over conference foes while 3 of the 5 setbacks were chalked up by M. I. A. A. foes. The Orange and Blue cagers an-

nexed the g rand total of 610 points, outscoring their combined oppon-

ents by over 100 points. The i r total was 507. The average games score is Hope 34, Opponents 28.

All p lans were made a t Calvin t ha t had they defeated Hope in the final game, a "glory d a y " was to be declared. A f t e r t a lk ing wi th

some Calvin fans it seemed t h a t they were more disgrunt led a t t he loss of a glory day t h a n the loss

of the game. . . .Calvin's 11-point defea t a t the hands of Hope was

the wors t beat ing it received this season with the exception of

the defea t by Michigan. . . . A note of in teres t — Kroeze, sensational Albion center , and Barber , Hope s t a r , were teammates a t G. R.

QUOTABLE Q U O T E S

( By Associated Collegiate Press) "Today it almost t akes a cipher

" Indus t r ia l firms a re once again sending scouts to the colleges, seek-ing prospective employees." Prof . Donald S. Parks , Toledo University personnel director, points to a r ay

of sunshine. "Washing ton ' s boyhood has been

distorted, his public career has been misrepresented to f u r t h e r the self-ish political interests of his succes-sors, and his historians have de-liberately falsified the things he said and did in order to present a picture of the ' F a t h e r of Our Country ' as a man without f au l t . " Prof . J a m e s B. Hedges of Brown indulges in a little debunking.

"Amer ica is a well watered coun-try and the inhabi tants know a of the fishing holes. The Ameri-cans also produce millions of auto-mobiles." So says fo rmer President Herber t Hoover, contributor to

THE JOHN MARSHALL

L A W SCHOOL

T h e sports l imelight shone

brill iantly down upon Hope's f resh-

men gir ls last Thursday evening

when it lighted their way to a noble victory of 37-24 over Hudson-

ville high school. This novel af fa i r was open to the public and was the

resul t of one of the character is t ic b ra ins to rms which h a v e been spasmodically sweeping the cob-

webs of tradition on the campus.

Clad in suitable ar t i l le ry the pa t r io t s from Hope marched out to meet their opponents promptly

at seven bells. They batt led the

foe on their own "no man 's land" a t the Carnegie gym. The a rmy of f reshmen par t ic ipa t ing in the war were June Keif t , Corolyn

Steffens, Beth Michmerhuizen, Jean Hoekje, Ruth Knickle, Hester Soe-

ters , Gertrude Young, Lois Vor-horst , Esther Bultman, Margare t Allen, Marjory Vyverberg, and

Thelma Kooiker.

Heroes of the actual fight proved

to be June Keift , Corolyn Steffens and Gert rude Young. Keift stepped

into the ranks of a capta in when she " s h o t " the ball constant ly into

the basket until she had made a total of 25 points fo r her team.

Wi thout doubt this a f fa i r was

one of the most successful events

of the year. A t the present it is

rumored that the robins are twit-

te r ing tha t f rom all indications

Hope will have a regu la r gir l ' s

t eam by the t ime they fly South

next winter.

Van Zanden, Vander Velde Basketball Co-Captains

Overlooking one of the outs tand-ing guards of the M. L A. A.,

Coach Hinga and the basketball

squad elected "Teed" Van Zanden and "Ken" Vander Velde as co-capta ins for the 1935-36 season.

Teed" played good ball for the

team for two yea r s and last year dropped out of school, r e tu rn ing

this year to wind up his athletic activit ies for Hope. His cheerful

and good na tured a t t i tude has help-ed to build up the morale of the team. Vander Velde's p laying has improved steadily throughout his three years of service.

F I V E ELECTED TO REPRESENT SENIOR CLASS

Goehner, Buteyn, V Wyk, Visscher, Welmers

Class Speakers

FACULTY CHOOSE 2

With the election of the class speakers by the faculty and mem-bers of the senior class, the seniors have begun their preparations to depart f rom the famil iar walls of Hope in June. Two commencement speakers were chosen by the class, two by the faculty, and the vale-dictorian completes the quintet.

John Van Wyk and John Buteyn were elected by the senior class. Helena Visscher and Betty Goeh-ner were chosen by the faculty, and William Welmers is the valedicto-rian. In the selection of the speak-ers an at tempt was made to secure speakers from the different geo-graphical areas represented a t Hope.

It might be of interest to give a short sketch of the lives of the speakers, and f rom these it might be possible to forecast the type of speeches they will deliver on that memorable night.

State Champion John Van Wyk was born in

Orange City, Iowa. While attend-ing Northwestern Junior college he won the Iowa State extempora-neous speech contest. John was a teacher in a rural school for sev-eral years before he entered Hope in his junior year. While at Hope he was actively interested in de-bate and oratory. Next year John plans to attend law school.

John Buteyn is just another of those Wisconsin boys, but, thank goodness, he is not from Oostburg. During the summer he spends his time at home in Brandon. He has been a member of the football team for three years, and a mem-ber of the Y.M.C.A. cabinet for two years. John has chosen the ministry for his life's work, and next year he is to be our neighbor across the street.

Breaks Tradition Helena Visscher is a local girl

that made good. Af te r receiving her pr imary education in Holland, she entered Hope college, and her college career was climaxed in her senior year by her being elected the first w o m a n student council president. H e 1 en a will continue with her w o r k in economics at some post graduate school.

Betty Goehner is the girl with that suave Long Island drawl. Betty comes from Flushing, New York, and is majoring in history. Next year she intends to impart some of her knowledge to her Long Island cousins.

Versatile Bill Welmers is the last speaker in this group. Bill has followed in the footsteps of his brother when he won the valedic-tory honors. He is a musician of note and noted in other fields of activity. Bill is entering Westmin-ster Seminary in Philadelphia next fall. '

The students of Hope college are

an industrious lot, whether their

professors will admit it or not. And

they must really crave a college education, judging f rom the vari-ous and sundry occupations they are pursuing to enable them to come to this college "by the inland sea."

Take the inmates of Voorhees Hall as an excellent example of in-dustry. Do you know that only one cook and two regular maids are employed in the dormitory? The rest of the work of keeping the girls ' home immaculate and running smoothly is in the hands of the girls themselves. And that is no small mat ter!

First let 's look at the dining room. The job of setting the tables and watering the ferns belongs to one girl. Then the tremendously important task of feeding sixty well-mannered Voorheesites is di-vided among four other girls, who wear becoming, starched aprons.

Mechanic Coaxes

The notoriously temperamental dish-washing machine is operated by a competent kitchen mechanic, who has literally to coax the anti-quated machine to make the water go round and round. Two oth-er kitchen mechanics have the important task of drying the dishes when, and if, they eventu-ally issue forth f rom the machine.

MUSICRITIC

Three girls help with the prepara-

tion of the food in the kitchen, and

can certainly qualify for good do-

mestic recommendations if any

young man is interested. The checking of the laundry is- accorded to a girl who also irons the above-mentioned aprons.

Two "Voorhees Hair 'ers .

In case you have ever noticed a difference in the "Voorhees Hall" that greets your ears a f te r calling 4813, we will tell you that two girls share the important duty of ans-wering the telephone. The halls on the third floor are cleaned by one girl, and likewise the second floor halls. The homelike reception room is cleaned by two girls. But the drawback to these cleaning jobs is that the cleaners have to get up at the ghastly hour of six every morning.

A job that keeps two other girls awake until equally shocking hours

is that well-known one of checking girls out and IN from dates at night. The position of house-presi-dent, newly created this year, car-ries with it many weighty duties such as demerits and things, you know. One girl has the job of checking on everyone who is or is

not at every meal. The important

task of collecting money and keep-

ing accounts of the house is en-

trusted to one girl. Now, who dares

say Voorheesites are inefficient?

FRESHMEN WIN CLP

(Continued from page 1) maid, played by Mary Robinson.

The action of this play took place in the boudoir of Mrs. Burton, and ihe time was set for "afternoon tea time." The story involved the great search which was made for Peggy's purse which, it was discovered at length had been overlooked in the inside pocket of her coat.

Hester Soeters, a member of the class who had studied dramatics under Mr. Cheenery in Kalamazoo was appointed director of this play. Mildred Mulder served as properly manager, and the lovely setting which was displayed showed very plainly hat her ecorts had been well worth while.

Orations Too As spokesman for the freshman

class Hildred Kirkwood was selec-ted to be the orator. The name of her oration was "Torchbearers of Peace."

The musical number from this group was a selection presented by the freshman trio, consisting of Gertrude Young, Mary Jane Vau-pell and Thelma Kooiker. Their number was called "Giannina Mia," by Rudolph Friml.

The committee of freshmen who ably assisted the chairman were Margaret Allen, Mildred Mulder. Thelma Kooiker and Hester Soe-ters.

The sophomore girls produced a program which undoubted'y was not fa r behind that of the winners. They industriously began their de-fense for this contest at the same time as the freshmen did. In the face of such a tempestuous battle the sophomores thrived under the generalship of Kathryn Boon.

The title of the play which was chosen by this class was "The Lit-

tle Red Schoolhouse." The scene took place in the schoolroom pro-per, and Lucille Buter was the very "intelligent" teacher of all of the little children. Class capers were acted out by Marianne Bocks as Jenny, Patsy Ver Hulst as Cora, Marijane Brouillet as Katie, Mar-jory Moody as Emily, Margaret Lemke as Mary, and Lois Tysse as Thelma. The three members of the schoolboard who v i s i t e d this "charming" little group dressed in the "latest Parisian" clothes were Jean Houting, Gertrude Meenges and Marjory Van Westenburg.

This play was directed by Chair-man Boon herself, with the assist-ance of Henrietta Bast and senior advisor Jean Rottschaefer. Edna Mooi and Margaret Gnericke served as property managers for the soph-omores.

The orator for the sophomores was Alma Nyland. The topic which she choose for her speech was "Foundations."

Barbara Plays Piano solos played by Barbara

Lampen supplied the music from this class. Her selections were en-titled Waltz in E Major, by Poldini, and Caprice Viennois, by Fritz Kriesler.

The decision of the contest was weighed in the hands of five people, three of whom were faculty mem-bers and two of whom were out-siders. Judges were chosen by the Hope student council.

The cup was awarded the fresh-man class at the conclusion of the program by Dr. J . B. Nykerk. The name of the class is to be engraved on the prize, and the freshmen have already planned to be out "a la masse" next yea r 'to have Ith*

"sophomore class of 1937" placed upon it.

Lokker-Rutgers Company

by Kathleen Donahue Unusual is the concert contain-

ing a full program of a living corp-poser, but more unusual still is the concert which the composer plays himself. The chapel was for one evening recently transformed into a secular auditorium while Charles Wakefield Cadman and a mixed quartet te played and sang a variety of numbers chosen from the folios of Cadman. Manuscript was not uncommonly seen.

His music is by no means simple to sing. One must have not only a wide range, but he must also be able to handle large and unexpected intervals. The soloists he chose to sing his compositions were fully equipped with voice, poise, and ability to express, to do justice to anything he might give them to sing.

All five entertainers were re-markably gracious both to the audience and to each other. Each soloist explained what he was about to do. The tone of infor-mality throughout the concert was pleasant and conducive to atten-tion. In fact, the listeners were so enraptured tha t they forgot to cough.

As to the merits of the quartette as such, it may be said that the voices blended in a symphony of glorious tone attacked and released with one accord. An organ could not have produced a smoother, more well-balanced chorale than they did singing unaccompained.

Many seemed to think Miss Bickerton, soprano, who we find is Mrs. Koch, the most capable soloist for Cadman's music. He h a s c o m b i n e d out-of-the-world poetry with the same type of music that can best be interpreted by the lighter more silvery quality of a soprano voice.

The tenor is new to the outfit so his notebook may be excused, but no explanation need be made for a clear, well-motivated tone such as he displayed in singing "I Hear a Thrush at Eve".

Raymond Koch, genial, affable, and eloquent as always, ventured on the proverbial earth-the-higher-spirits-fear in singing "The Ladies of the Harem" and the usually reticent Hollanders liked it and even laughed. Tibbett could do no better as fa r as breath control was concerned.

The more melancholy songs that Miss Bickerton chose were well-suited to the sonorous quality in her alto voice.

Mr. Cadman as an accompanist keeps the same rather shy un-pretentiousness that he is guilty of in private life.

Any adverse criticism may be directed toward the ushers. It is decidedly discourteous to the enter-tainer and grossly disturbing to the entertained to interrupt a series of numbers by traipsing nearly to the f ront row.

The Old Order Has Changed- Let Her Who Would Stoop To Conquer Listen

Meyer Music House Holland, Mich. 17 W. 8th S t

Your Spring Suit $13.9S to s s a . s o

Martin Clothing Store

Dido of Carthage, scorned by

Aeneas, flung herself upon a

funeral pyre and plunged a dagger

in her side; Helen of Troy pre-cipitated a great war when she displayed her conjugal affecticn by deserting Menelaus for Paris; Cleo-patra of Alexandria chose death to disgrace when she, according to legend, suffered an asp's bite a f te r a life replete with affaires du coeur. H o w e v e r , responsibility then was relegated to the gods, and, therefore, every feminine failure could be excused. Now the old order has indeed changed, and let her who would stoop to con-quer listen.

From a group of twelve osten-sible gentlemen, opinion pertinent to qualities of femininity was solicited. Whether the consensus is startl ing or not is a matter of opinion depending largely on the identity of the individual. In re-gard to smoking, six absolutely forbade it; five allowed it in moderation. Said one, "I t ' s all right for someone else's girl." Closely allied to smoking was the question of drinking. The nega-tive vote ran a little stronger, eight voting for absolute ab-stinence, the others forbidding it except on certain occasions.

Moderation dictated in the use

of cosmetics. Harmonious colors were preferred, and natural colors were regarded favorably.

The question asking whether she should be tall or short, dark or blonde, provoked a diversity of opinion in which the little fellows clamored fo r small girls and in which the big fellows leaned toward the Ginger Rogers type with an emphasis on the "ginger". If it is t rue that "gentlemen prefer blondes but marry brunettes," there will be many ejected from college, for all but one indicated a preference for brunettes. They were very vehement, however, in preferr ing girls who were "natural ." Said they, "If all is fa i r in love and war, let it be so, regardless of our preference."

"Can opener cooks" are frowned

upon; it may be the longest way around, but the old route is still a dependable way to a man's heart . A sense of humor is desirable, but the men all wished them to have serious conversational inclinations. Those who danced obviously de-sired good dancers. Facetiously they said that a car has its points. To her own discretion they left the question of "going steady."

Disillusioned, one said, "I pre-fer an avowed gold-digger. Had Diogenes found one, his search would have been ended."

// Y" N E w s "Christ in Ar t" was the topic

Miss Metta J . Ross, teacher of English and cultural history, chose on which to address the Y. M. group last week. Slides for the occasion were procured through the courtesy of the University of Michigan. Reproductions f r o m paintings by Jiotte, F ra Angelico, Raphael, Titian, Rembrandt, Da Vinci, and others were inluded in the s e t . Michelangelo's "The Pieta, the only bit of s ta tuary of the period depicting the life of Christ, and Da Vinci's "The Last Supper", the world's most famous religious painting, were also in-cluded.

Harold Leestma led the song service previous to the address. Henry Ver Meer sang "Just for Today" as special music for the evening. Bill Jacobs accompained on the piano. Harold McGilvra read scripture.

NOMINATE BOOT, DE YOUNG FOR Y.W.C.A. PRESIDENCY

NOMINEES FOR MAJOR Y. M. C. A. OFFICES MADE

Nominations for the four ma-jor YMCA offices as suggested by the cabinet committee have just been released as follows:

President, Richard Smith—Emer-sonian; Thomas Laman—Cosmopol-itan. Vice president, Peter Velt-man—Addison; Raymond B o o t -Cosmopolitan. Secretary, Paul Hoi-leman—Fraternal; Clifford Reiz-er —Cosmopolitan. Treasurer, Pau! Boyink—Fraternal; Oliver Lamp-en—Fraternal.

Other nominations will be wel-come from the floor a t the time of the election, next Tuesday.

Another year of Y. W. C. A. is drawing to a close and at this point it becomes necessary to nominate officers to take the place of the present executives.

Beatrice Boot, of the Amoy-China-Boots, and lately of the mem-bership committee, and Wilma "Bill" DeYoung, devastating blond from Kalamazoo and present pub-licity chairman—coupled with bas-ketball—of the organization, have been nominated for president. Both girls are well-versed in the work-ings of the "Y", and either should make an excellent head.

The vice-presidency is expected to be filled by either Jane Eldridge, of Chicago who has been respon-sible for music both in Chapel and "Y" metings this year, or Jeannette Douma of Battle Creek. Jeanette like her brother is a conscientious industrious individual It is im-portant to note that the vice-pres-ident plans all the meetings and obtains speakers.

Two quiet, unassuming, yet de-pendable, girls have been nomin-ated for secretary, Phoebe Sarge-ane and Marian Kuyper, from the metropoli of Fennville, Mich, and Cedar Grove, Wis. respectively.

The exchequer will be in charge of either Mable Vaughn or Chris-tine Verhulst. Mable is the south-ern-accent girl from "Kaintuck," Annville to be specific, while Chris-t ine is the busy Holland junior one sees taking chapel choir roll of a morning.

It is hoped that the Y. W. C. A. will continue to function as a high-ly influential organization among the girls of Hope's campus.

12 ENTER HOPE PEACE CONTEST Finals Held at Calvin in

April

NYKERK TO COACH

W a r clouds in Europe have cre-

ated an unusual in te res t in t h e annual Michigan Intercollegiate Peace Oratorical contest , finals of

which will be held a t Calvin college dur ing the third week of April .

P ro f . Clarence De Graaf , in cha rge of the Hope contest, an-

nounces t ha t 12 contes tants have entered the local elimination con-tes t scheduled f o r April 11. Dr.

Nykerk will coach the winner in p repara t ion f o r the s t a t e meet.

Contest Nat ionwide

These contests , held in pract i-cally every s t a t e in the union, are

sponsored by the Misses Mary and

Helen Seabury of New Bedford, Massachuset ts . The orat ions of 1,-700 words m a x i m u m length, are s t r ic t ly limited to the subject of

peace, but no winning oration may be used.

Both men and women are privi-leged to enter , wi th no restr ict ions as to class year . The one hundred dollars donated to Michigan will

be divided into prizes fo r the first four place winners in the finals.

Calvin Host

Calvin will be the host of the final contest this year , dur ing the

th i rd week in Apri l . Local meets will determine representa t ives to

the two divisional contests, f rom which first and second place win-ners will compete in the finals. The

twelve who have entered the local el imination contes t a rc : Es ther Bul tman, Mildred Kirkwood, Jean Rot tschaefer , Lois Voorhorst , Wil-bur Jacobs, Harold Leetsma, Eu-gene Osterhaven, Wendell Miles,

Les te r Wassenaar , Ernes t Tirrell , and John Van Wyk.

Al though Hope has not entered this contest f o r several years, she has previously taken a s ta te first place and a nat ional third. The

Rev. Ha r ry Hoffs, an a lumnus of 1914, entered his peace oration in the national essay contest and received first place honors.

Here's How to Get Around a Politician

Paunchy , bald Clyde Her r ing ,

governor of our most l i tera te s ta te , Iowa, is a bluff, s t r a i g h t f o r w a r d politician. But like so many such,

Governor H e r r i n g has to be ap-proached with s teal th and circum-spection.

And that is the way his young-est son, a s tudent at the Universi ty

of Iowa, approached his f a t h e r while asking fo r money recently. The s tudent ' s le t te r went like th i s :

"Well-beloved f a t h e r : I have not a penny, nor can I get any save through you, fo r all th ings a t the univers i ty a r e so d e a r ; nor can I s tudy in my code or my digest for

they a re all t a t t e r ed . Moreover, I owe 10 crowns in dues to the pro-

vost and can find no man to lend it me. I send you word of greet-ings and of money.

"The s tudent h a t h heed of many th ings if he will profi t here ; his f a t h e r and his kin must needs sup-ply him freely t h a t he be not com-pelled to pawn his books, but have

ready money in his purse, with gowns and f u r s and decent cloth-ing, or he will be damned for a b e g g a r ; where fo re t ha t men may not take me f o r a beast , I send you

word of greet ings and of money. "Food is d e a r and other good

th ings ; I owe in every s t reet and am hard bested to f r ee myself of such snares . Dea r f a t h e r , deign to

help me! • G r a n t my supplication f o r I send you word of greet ings and of money.

"Well beloved-father , to ease my debts contracted a t the inn, with the doctor, and to pay my subscrip-t ions to the l aundress and the bar-ber , I send you word of greet ings and of money."

Comment ing t h a t the let ter "ap-pa ren t ly shows profound s tudy of classical style," the governor re-marked , " the screed ha th netted him 10 wheels, bu t it will be folly f o r him to t r y the dodge aga in . "

Variety, color and l ife a re per-

sonified in the advance spr ing

fashions which Holland s tores are now showing—fashions more dash-

ing and a l lur ing than have been seen in many a year.

The Rose Cloak gives a delight-ful ly appeal ing outlook on the clothes which the m o d e m woman

will find most sa t i s fy ing . Those brea th- tak ing Chinese clipper coats and s t r iking Bradley sui ts imme-

diately capt ivate the hea r t s of prospective buyers. These knit ted

suits of zephyr worsted are signs of spr ing which you mus tn ' t over-look and a re fea tured in "Harpe r ' s Bazaar" and "Vogue."

Great th ings are anticipated of this new kni twear which is pre-, sented in pas te l and da rke r tones which are per fec t for spring. Your

choice of colors will be satisfied whether your activities are cruises, college gaiet ies or casual town en-

ter ta ining. Popular shades include: Par l iament Red, Engl ish Brick, ' Aviator Blue, Ascot Rose, Olympic Blue, Golden Wedding. Among the paste ls are Contract Blue, Bad-minton Pink, High Noon Yellow,

Snack Bar Blue and White. "The more you sec, the more you want . "

Fea tu re Sui ts

Let 's "drop in" at the French Cloak and see wha t is being shown.

We hear Mr. Van Tatenhove talk-ing to a customer—we hear him

say, "We are f ea tu r ing suits this season. Although the th ree - four ths and seven-eighths length suits are good, the ful l length swagge r s a re

j best ." One of the most appeal ing offerings of this shop is the Bar-

bour fleece swagger coat which combines charm of line with qual-ity of texture .

Brown Has Monopoly

"!• ancy models will predominate

in men 's clothing," Mr. Boter in-

formed us as we viewed the sp r ing

stock which Boter & Company is

present ing. Many plaited backs and

panel-back s t y l e s predominate

among the popular suit models.

Worsteds, gabardines, flannels and

cheviots a re outs tanding fabrics .

Brown has a decided monopoly

over other colors, but greys , blues

and dark green are good. I t is pre-

dicted t ha t Palm Beach suits will

be " tops" th is summer . Whi t e will

be most in demand, bu t grey,

checks and blue will also be shown.

The color r ange runs r io t in the

new shir ts . S t r ipes and checks vie

f o r favor . The novel "but ton-down,

wide-spread" collar is dest ined to

be a spr ing sensation.

At Jeanne 's , the College avenue

shop, well known to co-eds, we find

the youthful ly sophist icated Louise Mulligan dresses a r e being f e a -

tured. J eanne tells us, "These young, inimitable dresses a r e sold here exclusively." She adds, "Miss Mulligan is a new designer, who is only twenty- four years old and has

already become famous f o r her un-usual models."

"Man About Town"

We greeted wi th "oh ' s " and "ah ' s " a tailored navy dinner gown tr immed wi th pastel blue linen which is called, "Man About Town." Other enticing f rocks which im-pressed us were t r icky " F u s s Bud-

get ," demure "Le f ty , " s m a r t "Dot and Dash," and j a u n t y "Till ie the Toiler."

This shop is showing m a n y tai-lored suits f o r sp r ing as well a s

topcoats and dashing, new silk raincoats. Knee-length hose in the l ighter sp r ing shades a re offered.

Sh i r t s Have " I t "

A f t e r vis i t ing Vaupell 's , we pre-

dict t ha t the masculine e lement of Hope college will appea r in Duke

of York and Duke of Kent sh i r t s , some of French flannel and some of broadcloth. "Sh i r t s are ve ry col-or fu l and gay , " says Mr. Vaupell .

"They appeal to a woman's eye as well as a man ' s . "

"What would you consider the popular mode in foo twea r f o r s p r i n g ? " we ask Mr. Spaulding.

"Well, the re is a g rea t var ie ty among shoes this spr ing ," he re-

plied, whereupon he shows us dash-ing sandals, s t r ik ing dress shoes of

blue-grey and black pa t en t l ea ther shoes. Toes have a tendency to "square" th is season. We saw some

spor t shoes of London t a n wi th wide s t raps . Mr. Spaulding declares t ha t the "Ai r S tep" shoes a re the newest sensation.

Yale Literary Magazine Celebrates Anniversary

New Haven, Conn—(ACP)—The oldest magazine in America, the Yale Li terary Magazine, last Sat -urday celebrated the 100th anniver-

sary of its bir th. The guardian of Yale t radi t ions

dur ing the century since its found-ing in 183G, the "L i t " has seen many rival publications on the campus rise to glory and quickly fall into oblivion. During its en t i re existence, the magazine has not

changed its form, except in 1932, when its cover was switched f r o m brown to blue, a change that called for th such a storm of protest t h a t the original color was readopted the following year.

The anniversary issue of the Lit contains articles by fo rmer edi tors

and contr ibutors who have since become famous, including Sinclair Lewis, Stephen Vincent Binet,

Thornton Wilder, Philip Barry and William Lyon Phelps.

Supreme court decisions, according to Dr. Charles A. Beard, famous his tor ian.

"Only on the theory t h a t the country will never again have to

face a crisis," he said in a recent address, "can we assume tha t a government s t r ipped of the power to legislate in the general interest

will endure. To cherish such a theory is to fly in the face of the

recorded experience of this nation and all mankind.

"There is not a word in the Con-sti tution tha t expressly or by im-

plication declares t ha t the Consti-tution must be s t r ic t ly in terpre ted by anybody," Dr. Beard declared. " T h a t is a fiction largely created by Thomas Jef ferson when he was

"We of t en realize our depend-ence on God f o r our spir i tual bless-

ings and take the mater ia l side f o r g ran ted ," said Rev. H a r r y L. Brouwer, pas to r of Calvary Re-formed church, Grand Rapids, and recent Hope g radua te , in a p rayer -day address which he delivered in

chapel March 11.

The speaker continued, " I t was because of a feel ing of dependence on God fo r mater ia l needs t h a t caused our f o r e - f a the r s to establish

th is prayer-day ." He said t h a t God is not only interested in our souls, but our bodies also. P r aye r should be not only a solace; it should be a support in weakness , a help in peril , a s t r eng th in advers i ty , and a "key t ha t opens up the ga tes of

heaven." "We should come to God through

prayer as to a Fa the r , " he con-cluded, "a sk ing aid in both spir i t -

ual and mater ia l troubles." An added f ea tu re of this service

was Kipling's "Recessional ," ar-

ranged by H. A. Matthews, sung by the chapel choir.

"Oh Yeah" OK Says Robert G. Anderson

New York (ACP)—Two slang

phrases of the hour—"Oh, y e a h ? " and "He can take i t "—were laud-

ed by Robert Gordon Anderson, au-thor and newspaperman, in a re-cent address to Hunter college s tudents . •-

" ' O h , y e a h ? ' is not ridiculous," Anderson said. " I t is t rag ic in its implications. It is as eloquent of

world weariness as the bi t teres t cry of the disillusioned f r o m Ec-slesiastes down to Dreiser and

Lewis.

" I t bristles with challenge, as the young men c ry : 'Why have you slain our i l lusions? Why have you

killed our f a i t h ? " '

Nor was there any th ing new in "He can take i t ," Anderson de-clared, pointing to the analogy be-tween it and the spir i t the Victo-r ians applauded in Henley 's line, "Beneath the b l u d g e o n i n g of

chance, my head is bloody but un-bowed."

TYPE IS A VOICE . . . that can roar like the thunder, or whisper as soft as the breath of a babe. It can picture the glory of sunset, or despair in the chill gray dawn. It can tell you the triumph of great marshaled forces, or purl you a story as simple and sweet as the streamlet that winds its way through the wildwood. Type can present any image which the mind of mortal man can vision. Use the proper type face fo fell your story.

He Must be Tall with Languishing Look, in Describing Ideal

Boy, Sigh Coeds

(Continued f r o m page 1) of a car is not necessary, but it

helps (also emphat ic ! ) .

Material is t ic Moderns

F rom now on opinions vary .

Some insist tha t he be older t h a n she, and final agreement comes with "older in experience a t l eas t " .

He may, however, belong to a younger c lass—that is immater ia l .

He should have a medium income — a t least, with potent ial i t ies fo r mak ing money (very i m p o r t a n t ) .

Nine agree tha t he must be a thle-

tic, while one does not care. Seven will permit him to smoke, (one in-sists on i t ) , while three object. His

a t tent iveness , as a requisite, is de-bated strongly. Some desire much

at tent ion, while others want him to be moderately a t tent ive and to keep

them guessing.

The ever las t ing question on Hope's campus of "going s t eady"

received hot discussion, despi te the f ac t that more than one in the group does it. One mainta ins t ha t

s tudents should "go s teady" ; five insist that s tudents should definitely

not go s teady; and four placidly s t a t e tha t it may be permi t ted in

the senior year .

Now, for a few individual cases. A junior insists t ha t her man be

well liked and a good mixer . He must be tall, p re fe rab ly dark , a good dancer, intell igent, neat , a

good conversationalist , ambit ious,

and a t r e t i c .

A f r e shman wan t s him to be tall and blond, athletic, exciting, moral and highly intell igent. He must

smoke, like to t ravel , and be able to make money.

A sophomore only asks t ha t he approve of any th ing she does,

hast i ly adding "in moderat ion" . As for seniors — they know

what they want , and a f t e r all, what does it m a t t e r ?

Juniors, Seniors to Hold J«int St. Patrick Party

"We hope to m a k e this func t ion an annual t r ad i t ion , " announces Dick Smith , jun ior class president ,

r ega rd ing the first junior-senior pa r ty in the recent h is tory of Hope. This af fa i r , which will be in

the S t . Pat r ick sp i r i t t h i s year, t akes place a t the Masonic temple,

March 23 a t 7:30. George Douma, pres ident of the

senior class, will preside as mas t e r

of ceremonies a t this event. A va-ried p rogram, which will include

newly discovered t a l en t of mem-bers of both classes, is promised.

Hopeful Epicureans will not be dis-appointed. To rever t to " m a t e r i a l " things, t ickets costing 25 cents are

now on sale. Members of the p a r t y commit tee

A.D.D.'s Bury Depression 150 Leagues Under

Smiles — cheerful and hopeful , yet doubtful — greeted the Hope

enthus ias t s th roughou t the foolball and basketball seasons. They be-

longed to those m a r t y r s to the cause of sports , the 15 orange-

sweatered Athlet ic Debt Diggers. They yell, " F r o s t bi tes", "Candy",

or "Hot dogs", as the wea ther de-

mands ; so t ha t the wor thy line-men, backfield, fo rwards , guards ,

centers, captains , c o - c a p t a i n s , t r acks te r s and m a n a g e r s can be rewarded.

Agnes Pa t te rson , the honorable president , says " W e have handed over $150 so f a r th is year and we

may be able to give them $10 to

$15 more." When one stops to think how many nickel products have to be sold to clear t ha t much he real-

izes the worth of this association. When asked if the re was any-

th ing special to be noted President

Pa t te r son said, "Well , it 's jus t a lot of work, but we do have fun ." At a beach pa r ty late in the spr ing the group elects f rom each society t h e f r e s h m a n girl with whom they wish to work. Cooperation on every girl 's par t is the key spir i t of the organi-zation.

Such spir i t does not go ent i rely

unrewarded, fo r when an ADD-er g radua tes she is presented with a

gold key which has on it the in-evitable wooden shoe.

Tommy's Clothes Ruined in Search for Culture

Why bury your c lo thes? W h y ? No, Willie hasn ' t been out with

Tommy, the third class "ditch-dig-ger ." Tommy's reason f o r bury-

ing his clothes where they can later be excavated by some poor

dog, is not to ge t rid of an obnoxious odor. Oh no, the reason

is much more subtle than t ha t — soot —.

One night , not long ago, our

dear l i t t le Tommy was filled with a wild desire to lead his f r iends out into the night on an unsanc-

tioned escapade. Wha t they did, was nei ther for cul ture nor educa-

tion, even though they had perhaps ,

"come to college in search fo r knowledge," and the i r adventure had led them th rough the dingy,

dus ty basement into Hope's l ibrary!
