HOPE PRESIDENT GIVES CLASS

STIRRING MESSAGE Dr. Dimnent Sees Great Fu-

ture in 1925 Grad-uates

To the Class of 1925 Greeting: Class bulletins are still enough

of an innovation to make their character unknown to any save their editors. However full the heart may be of gentle thought, the right word fittingly spoken must depend on the character of the sub-ject. Art much rather than finesse of speech is needed to carry the thought of the heart to fullest ex-pression and the truest art is most observant of the motive, the method and the material in its expression. How then can one whose sym-pathies are in rare accord with CLASS and CLASS BULLETIN bridge between Bulletin and Class ?

Prophecv, too, is an a r t and, as with a child, so mayhap with a Class the Prophecy of the first an-niversary may be of more meaning than the hopes of a natal day. And who will dare say that Prophecy is not a greater force than Chronicle in the determination of Character? If this be allowed, no mere word of felicitation to the Class of '25, however gracious, could take the place of prophetic phrase.

It is the hour in the out-of-doors of spring blooms and one catches breath at the glories, 'presented once again, of the resurrection of life. Snowdrops and daffodils, hepaticas and anemones make the blood riot and the senses revel. Were the heart to flutter but once in its joy, it were because of a pre-monition of such beauties too soon departed. And the soul takes coun-sel of the heart flutter and prays not for the April blossom, but for the rich flower of August. It in-vites the prophetic strain for it would have the yearling grow into powerful prime, the green blade of May deepen into the burning sheaf of October. Fruits, too, that come from April buds are past before June's processional has danced its rose-flecked steps—chalice bearers, as it were, to mark the bridal path. September mom, for its rich part, greets the f ru i t of carmine and of gold, of purple and of umber, re-splendent like token chests that await the matron's return. And if the natal day has high hope and happy voices sing its glees, the prophet of the first year-end looks out and beyond and chants his tale of prime and pride and place and power. Great character has been built upon prestige; greater still may be inspired by prophecy. This be the chance of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-Five.

1926 GRADUATES STAGE PAGEANT

On the evening of Monday, May CI, the day on which we celebrate Decoration Day, the Senior Class w.ll give the tirst presentation of the Pageant on the Hopa Campus. The other dates are Wednesday, June 2, and Saturday, June 5.

Pageant practice has begun. At least three hundred people are tak-ing part, and much money will be spent to make the Pageant beauti-lul and artistic. The seating ca-pacity will be three to four thou-sand. Wuh the aid of mechanical devices all should be able to hear

very spoken word. . The main characters are as fol-lows: Chief Trumpeter, Richard Mallery; Father Time, Randal Eosch; Queen of 1926, Mabel Du Mez; Maid of 1776, Wilhelmina Bos; Maid of 1846, Gladys Klein-heksel; Maid of 1866, Marthena Bnyles; Spirit of Hope, Harriet Vanderbush; Dr. Van Raalte, Nor-man Vander Hart ; Spirit of His-tory, singing part, Cornelia Net-tinga; speaking part. Dr. J. B. Ny-kerk.

Tho Pageant will be a big pro-duction. President Coolidge has requested every town in the coun-try to commemorate with a fitting r ^ b r a t i o n the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Indepen-dence. The Pageant has been writ-ten with this fact as one of its themes. Eighty years ago the first

URGES LOYALTY TO ASSOCIATION

Hello ''Psyche"! "Ruffy"! "Beans"! Grace - v

Well, everybody's back for the reunion! Here comes •Man" and "Frits" up the walk and over here are "Mumps" and "Teck". I suppose they are coming to join us in a gab fest on the 'sp wnholdiir". Isn't it great to renew acquaint-ance with the old bench? And don't the old steps where we were christened by our rivals early in our sojourn on the campus look fami-liar.

But lets' go inside and look around. Well, this looks different! Miss De Pree is our only assurance that it is the same place. We can scarcely recognixe the dingy walls at which we were wont to gaze when chapel lectures deprived us of our one precious study period. However, we note the wonderful improvement with pride and go joyfully on!

Come on, Amy Ruth; the Bast door is open we can save time. Ho. you can't out across there. The fences are still up. And to be sure "Dimmy's" garage has a new coat of paint for the letters once so conspicuous ate now scarcely legible!

They say the proper thing now-days is to enter Van Kaalte Hall by the Twelfth Stieet en-trance but to keep in the spirit of the days when we were young lets go in the back way. Any-thing interesting on the bulletin board? Yes, It does seem so judging from the crowd around there! Makes us feel right at home doesn't ii? What? A book fell on your head? Well, I'm not surprised? Remember how we used to throw things down from third floor? Why, look at the mob on "second." Don't you recognize these faces as the same ones that gathered here the morning we walked out of English class? There's "Josh" as good-natured as ever! And Mary Sie-

How about a little walk over to Carnegie? Van Vleck certainly offers a more cheerful as. pcct as we walk up doesn't it? I am glad "Casy" and a few others "Wortheys" of onr class had a chance to enjoy it when it was so greatly proved.

im-

The old "gym" looks just the same doesn't it? There are ''Hank" and "Psyche" gazing spell bound at the stago—reminiscing I suppose: They are probably recalling the days of Senior Play practice! And here comes "Larry"! My its good to see everybody! We don't have to stretch our magination very far to see these bleachers as well as balcony and stage packed to overflowing and Hope walloping Kazoo College! Remember that marvelous game and how we all lost our voices? Oh Amy!

Let's just take a peek inside of Voorhees on the way back. My this is the greatest surprise of all. Rug, drapes, new furniture! Everything looks wonderful! Do you suppose the girls are allowed to entertain here? Must be, for I think those are the Winter twins over there talking to the girls! Seems funny they are still here!

I wonder it looks downstairs? Lets go down. Ah! Thrills! Arc we dreaming or do we really hear strains of familiar songs coiring from al] sides. Yes. listen "The Stein Song" in that dear old town of Holland, Mich., "Dear Evelina". Now Amy can you beat that? The same old songs I wish we could stay but we must hurry if we are going to that party at Pine Lodge. •

Doesn't it thrill you to come back and live our old days over? And isn't it wonderful to feel that we have been, are and always will be Hopeites?

To the Members of the Class of 1925,

Dear Friends: With enthusiasm I congratulate

you on your class organization and the issue of your first bulletin. Long life to both!

There is an ancient saying in the Far East, having its origin perhaps in China, perhaps in India, but known to me in its Japanese form as follows: "There are those who can pick up a stone by the wayside, break it, and take out a gem: this is because they know gems. There are others who visit the Mountains of Treasure and return empty-handed: for they know not gems."

You have visited the Mountains of Treasure, but have not returned empty-handed. The greatest gem of all discovered there is the knowledge of gems; the ability rightly to judge values. Without this, one is in danger of passing through life blind to the best things it offers him; with it, one perceives the precious gem in the wayside stone. You are showing again that Hope College is a place where this knowledge of values may be found.

Now that you are organized, al-low me to express the hope that through this class organization you will loyally stand by the Alumni Association. It desires and needs your hearty participation in all of its activities; and most of all just now in the effort to secure three hundred ten-dollars-a-year pledges for the support of the chair which it has undertaken to maintain. There are many and most attractive things for the As-sociation to do, in addition to this, but nothing can with decency and self-respect be undertaken until this is first accomplished. Give us your help.

With cordial greetings to every one of you, and the best wishes for your happiness and success, I re-main.

Your friend and fellow alumnus, Albertus Pieters, '87.

The Pageant will have in it an appeal to all people; to those patri-otic citizens who are interested in and take a pride in the h story ox Revolutionary times: to those peo-ple of Holland who are justly proud of their Dutch ancestry and who founded the City of Holland; to those people who are interested in Hope College, its founding, its progress and its achievements.

PROF. WINTER SENDS GUKETINGS TO CLASS

To the members of the class of P92b:

"I have only two reasons for allow ing myse|f to be drawn Into using this space. First because I wish to extend .tq you all the most kindly greetings.. You have been the ob-jects of my attention and interest in your labors during the past year. I have anx ously awaited reports regarding your efforts. On the whole my anticipations of you are encouraging. With on y two excep-tions these reports are favorable. Remember that in your teaching you reflect not only upon your-

selves, your college, and your class, but also upon all who may come alter you. Your success will make the securing of positions for others just so much easier. I wish to ex-press my appreciation to you for your earnest efforts.

"I also wish to commend you up-on the purpose to publish your first annual, which, I understand has been undertaken for the purpose of promoting the spirit of good fellowship among the class mem-bers, and to promote goodwill to-ward your Alma Mater. A worthy purpose! Let the good work con-tinue."

EGBERT WINTER.

The new Hope Chapel is now an assured fact and ground will be broken for it before this paper goes to press. It will stand at the corner of College avenue and 12th

.Street, and from all indications it will be the finest building of its nature in the state.

The class of 1916 will spend $2,500 on a window which will face College avenue. Other classes also are doing big things for the chapel.

The class of 1925, through its committee, has decided to furnish the pulpit furniture in partnership with Arcot Mission workers from Kalpadi, India. The four pieces of furniture would cost more than we have in the treasury and the mission people, headed by Rev. Bernard Rottschaffer, wanted to do the work and furnish material. The furniture will be made of rose wood, a type of wood almost im-possible to get in the United States. The pieces will be shipped here and upholstered, the cost be-ing taken care of by the class of 1925.

This will make a fine gift , one which we can all be proud of hav-ing a part in giving.

Chimes which will be ruijg every fifteen minutes and play almost any piece of music are to be in-stalled, a gif t f rom the McLeans family of Holland. . -

Dr. Dimnent has been untiring in his efforts to obtain money for this new building and it will stand as a memorial of one of the many wonderful things he has accom-plished for Hope College.

Say Classmate, do you follow your AJma Mater in all her progress? Do you look with interest for any word you may receive about her welfare? Do yoa tell others about the glories of old Hope and the great future she is sure to attain? Do you throw out your shoulders proudly when you hear Hope men-tioned and give her credit for what she has done for you?

Do you follow her athletic teams and cheer for them whenever you get a chance?

Do you welcome other members to the Hope family and point pros-pective students to the best college in the United States i

Do you pray for old Hope and her graduates a ^ive what finan-cial aid you can?

If you do all ihase things you are a loyal Hopeite. If you are not loyal, better keep the fact to yourself, because if your college education was not what it should be, blame yourself, not the college. The training was there; if you missed it don't advertise your failure. Surely the class of 1925 is 100 per cent loyal. Here is to the Best Class in the Best College!

Athletics at the Alma Mater

The Hope Court team had a very successful season, considering the heavy schedule and the fact that the class of 1925 graduated just a whole team of stars. Captain Al-bers and Teddy Vanden Brink he d down the forward positions, with Kleis and Lubbers doing quite a bit of the forward work. Poppen at center was slow in getting started and in mid-season he re-ceived an injury which kept him out of the remaining games. Rus-sell Japinga and Daan Martin then took up the pivot job and they de-veloped very nicely. Kleis was again high scorer, averaging around 7 deuces a game after he hit his stride. The Freshmen turned out a reserve squad which cleaned up its schedule in fine style and then ran into the final in the western Michigan tourna-ment. Coach Schouten seems to have nothing to worry about for next season as material will be plentiful and of high class. Hope lost some close games, one at Al-bion by one point, after being ahead most of the way. St. Mary's also grabbed a close verdict on the Carnegie floor after a gruelling tussle. Here are the results of most of the games: Hope ...35; American Seaters 10 Hope .39; Muskegon ......17 Hope ...34; Alumni 35 Hope 26; Bethany ...22 Hope 28; Manchester .....37 Hope ...28; Mt. Pleasant 19 Hope ...30; Kazoo College 36 Hope ...27; Indianapolis Y 35 Hope 31; St. Mary's 33 Hope 82; Holland Furnace 41 Hope 29; Holland Furnace .46

Kalamazoo College and Kalama-zoo Normal each won a game on their own floor. Manchester and Concordia also won games from Hope. The Alumni game was won in the last minutes by Ottipoby and Dick Japinga. Wait until 1928, and the 1925 varsity can play again against the Hope regulars.

Baseball at Hope is going along at a rapid nace. Schouten took his proteges down to Notre Dame for the opener, but the boys were off color and came home with a bad defeat. Errors and weak pitrhing proved to be the stumbling block. .T;m Poppen and Alb^rs are doing the mound work and Hope is bound to establish a great recoH. FVn-bas, Kleis. De Groot, Van Den Brink, make up the infield, with Russell Japinga, De Velder and Van Dam doing the receiving.

To go back in one's thinking is not always pleasant, and often to set dewn things from one's past ex-perience is indeed irksome, espe-cially when the speaker is not sen-sitive to the fact that his hearers may not be as interested in his past as he may be himself. But all of us are interested in the happenings of certain social groups as a whole, and it is on this assumption that we shall try in as brief a way as possible to concatenate the audae-monistic history of the group known as the Class of Twenty-five.

When we consider the great re-sponsibility Dr. Dimnent took upon himself when he undertook at first to produce a harmonic symphony out of the divergent strains com-ing from New York and Cedar Grove, we are reminded of the pro-verbial statement about Columbus. When students come from various points of this continent and even from beyond the salt seas, each one with the unsatisfied desire to con-cner the world, there is bound to be a storm brewing. Yes, Dr. Dimnent took the chance with us. But meekness is born of authority, and the oil of a prevailing intellec-tual minority report frofn the re-cesses cf the brain of ye average student soon calmed th-4 ruffled waters. We the Class of Twenty-five began to take definite shape; we had caught the vision of pro-gress as a group.

But this is getting ponderous. Let us deviate and auempt to call to mind a few facts which stand out in our history as high lights in the picture. Beginners are always impressive. And now when we look back over those four years of col-lege life has it occurred to you that we were admonished in Dr. Samuel M. Zwemer's opening address in September of 1921 to "Lengthen thy cords and strengthen thy stakes"? Have we done it? Have we according to these words of the Prophet liah done all we could to imorove « urselves while in this most import.a.i; period of training?

The firsw extra-curricular event of importance was the "pull." How we did pull for fame! If it hadn't been for the rope breaking—. Well, we lost that pull and were humbled for a time. But we had a party just the same; and who is there who cannot recall those first im-pressions we gained of each other in that Macatawa garage. Remem-ber that Dr. Patterson was our first chaperone? Incidentally, we might say too with pride that our's was the first class upon whom the "wearing of the green" was im-posed.

All was not of a roseate hue in our "beginning," however, for in December there came the shock of Aoeiia Heneveld's latal injury. Her quiet example of pure girlhood had already made its lasting impression upon her classmates.

It was in point of numbers that we really made the most impression that first year—we started the year with approximately 140. But we cannot forget that amon"- that number were numerous athletes. It is in basketball especially that the Class of Twenty-five has stuck with the college and brought it honors in an athletic way. Ambitions of a lorensic way were also s.irred up in this first year, ambitions strong enough to result in more than one orator chosen from the class.

Barring those who during the course of the summer had found that farming the soil was more profitable for them than farming the mind, we came back in the fall of '22 with our numbers still well over the century mark. Of course, there were a few who had come to the conclusion that the faculty even had given uo all hopes from them; wrongly judging their own ability by their marks, they never entered the "promised land" of future use-fulness based on a college degree. We are not thinking of degrees as such; I hey are what you make them.

A second vear; a new lense o* life. We could row "lord it over" the freshies; didn't we win the pull ? In this stage of develonment many a student found himself—not to mention some of the othe^ "finds" which certain members of the group made; they have nroved to be binding by this time. In con-trast to this, there are those we must place in the "lost column," such as "Leggie"—all of us remem-ber his indomitable pep. Our sec-ond year, too, marked the start rf the "Big Five" in basketball; it was ma?kod by an increasing influence Iv» ptH a t e l l W influence in the Y's and other religious work.

Considered by and large, it was a year in. which we "lengthenel our stakes," although it was not a sea-son of spectacular achievement.

But to be Juniors! Now we ought to have half a say at least. And we did; although we had to work for the privilege. Agnes and John stood up for us in oratory. We had a deciding influence in base-ball, football, basketball and track. And we had the honor of treating the Seniors to a banquet, knowing, of course, that there was a "return game" in this regard for us. Dur-ing this year we considered it an honor to be able to dedicate so com-mendable an annual as the 1924 Milestone to Mrs. Durfee, "teacher and friend, whose teaching has been inspiration, whose friendship has been reward."

With what joy did we return in the fall of 1924 for the last lap of the course! Naturally, everybody loves a Senior! And it was an ex-traordinary privilege, too, to sit so near the faculty in chapel and to have a commanding view of the rest of the student body. Were there accomplishments in our final year? In oratory? Yes; Marian and Wess did it for the class this time. In music?—eleven Seniors helped to give the club first place in the state contest for girls. In athletics? — the "big five" were largely instrumental in giving Hope the state championship; an:! we kept the lead in class basket-ball throughout the four years. In d-amatics?—we presented "Thank You."

Looking back upon these achieve-ments, nuc witn any feeling of ego-tism or false piide, wefeei justmeJ in saying that we have "strength-ened our stakes," that we have in-creased our grasp upon life; that we have gained a broader outlook and wider sympathies. Although our ranks have been thinned to a number slightly below the hundred mark, we still stand as the largest class ever graduated from Hope. But quantity* is no criterion by which to judge the future of any class. We see ourselves now; how on the evening of June 17th last the gymnasium platform was filled with cap and gown bedecked Seniors. Truly we were an inspira-tion to ourselves! But when Dr. Dimnent in his presentation ad-dress told us that "results" should be our watchword as we went on to carrv out th6 ideals of our col-lege days, we wondered in our own heart whether our preparation had been diligent enough to warrant the desired results. Results! A fitting word by which to measure our ideals.

And now at the same time that we think with pleasure of that com-mencement night and of that "after meeting" upon the rippling waters, we rejoice to know that many of the Class of Twenty-five are al-ready achieving results; we are proud of those who have gone to the far-away lands, those who have carried on the Hope spirit into the teaching profession, and those who have upheld, at schools of higher learning, the high standard of ex-cellence which was set for them by our Alma Mater. Then right here let us append this to our auto-biography. We are looking forward with eagerness to the year 1928 when we hope to meet again as a unit and see how well we have ex-peiimented with ourselves in the great laboratory of life. Let's make the most of the days; and expect results!

Groat minds have purposes-others have wishes.

Now about that 1928 Reunion! You simply must plan to be there. We will nave the l^ne Lodge rent-ed and plenty of room. W'e can hold nost of our meetings in the new chapel—preliminary to the event, for suiely no occasion of this kind would be complete unless we argued a : least one hour about the Line, place, nature of, and eats for such a party. The eats com-mittee has not been selected by the president as yet, but he probably will choose some of those who have proved capable in the past, pos-sibly Casey Dykhuizen, Ruffy, Alice CaUwell, Larney Lubbers ana Grace DeWolf. In case you have acquired unto yourselves wives and husbands by the great year of 1928 (the class seems to have a good start in this direc-tion), you will be permitted to take these "assets" with you. We might add that it may even be poss.ble for Paul Gebhard and Jim DePree to attend as front door guests in-stead of as back door callers, as'in foimer years. It may again be possible for the male members of our class to show their heroic traits by rushing to nearby cot-tage fires and extinguishing blazes with the extra coffee left from the party. Possibly you recall the Pinta. At any rate, it will seem good to again hear Jack Schouten laugh at the jokes of the Sybllline Minstrel Sextette.

Bury your failures, as the doc-tors do.

We had to walk in front of e^~">v*d" to fe t our diploma.

We had to be called Alumni? Gee, when we remember all

•hine:<5 w« wonder how we could have had so much fun in LU n a short time.

I passed by a high school alh-letic ncla the other uay. Theie 1 saw a group oi typical American youths practicing io become profi-cient in all forms of physical ac-tivity, t rom discus t hi owing to lootball and from hurdling to pre-cision in military drill. The thought came to me: What splen-did opportunities these youths have lor ccvciopmeni—have 1 made a proper use of my preparation days xor actual life?

High school and college are in themselves an opportunity, an op-portunity which delermines cur later iLe. We who have enjoyed this oppoitunity say with pride: We are graduates; we have at-tained! Not ro—the schoo boy used io say that as he leit the "little red schoolhouse" door with his di-ploma in his hand, and he was just as happy in the thought.

The question comes to me: Has our "opportunity" left us stranded —l to hot mean in the sense of our twenty-fivers who have signed the dotted line "for better or for worse"—but stianded with a type of preparation which we are not putting into practice, or are un-i.ble to put into practice? If we find now that such has leen the case, we must admit to our sorrow that our efforts have been misdi-rected. \\ hen we take inventory of ourselves, after ten months Ox semi-inlellcctual freedom, do some of our co.lege laurels have a hollow sound to them ? If we must assent to this, we have failed by a good deal to grasp Opportunity by the forelock.

Assuming that these are not mere idle words, what then are we foing to do about i t? Is our in-dividual experience worth counting on ? This is almost a foolish ques-t'on, becruse how can a person judge anything except he is guided by individual experience? Socrates' advice: "Know thyself," is very meaningful, especially when we treat it under three heads, namely, know thyself, first, in relation to thv God; secondly, know thyself in rrlat'on to thv fellow-man; and thirdly, know thyself in relation to thyself. Has not this fact been the chief obstacle in mak'ng a pur-poseful preparation; that we did not know ourselves first in rela-tion to our God ? Make this test then with the forward look, and see if you are planning and direct-ing vour efforts with the emphasis in the right place. We must illl come to that finally, and why not while we are still in the plastic stage? We are not so far ad-vanced but that we can still make ourselves much better fit for citi-zenship in the social group; and oertainly there is always room for improvement to make us fit for the Kingdom of God.

Fellow-classmates and friends, it is a pleasure to wr'te these few li^es of greeting. The spirit of '25 will never Hie; it cannot as long as we. who make possible the Class of '?5 are loyal to ourselves. Get a vision on the dividing ridge be-tween the faHnres of the past ami f he ideals of the future, and stick by tho vision, the forward leok.
