RESERVES IN FINEST STYLE

REVEREND H. A. BILKERT

Life of the Late Henry Bilkert

Former Anchor Editor, Who Was

Recently Killed in Arabia FORMER KALAMAZOO BOY WAS GRADUATE OF

HOPE AND WESTERN SEMINARY

The Reverend Henry A. Bilkert was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan, in 1892. In his early years he at-tended the public schools of his na-tive city, preparing also for college in the Kalamazoo High School. He entered Hope College with the class that graduated in 1914; a class which was distinguished by the fact that of its 40 members len entered* upon missionary service, twelve others entering the ministry of the Church at home. After graduation from college, Mr. Bilkert entered immediately upon preparation for the ministry, attending the New Brunswick Theological Seminary two years and removing to Western Theological Seminary for his senior year, graduating from that insti-tution in 1917.

Mr. Bilkert had developed the de-sire in early years to be a foreign missionary. While he was in the Theological Seminary, and about to make formal application for ap-pointment as a missionary, his father died. Since he was the only son, this raised the question in his mind as to whether he should not give up his missionary purpose and remain in this country for the sake of his mother. On making known to her the doubts in his mind as to his missionary purpose, his mother bravely told him that from child-hood his parents had consecrated him to the Lord's service in what-ever way He saw fit to use him, and that she would be happy in his carrying out his missionary pur-pose as they had looked upon such a decision as an answer to their prayers, although it would mean

much more to her to have him leave this country in view of the father's death. Mr. Bilkert therefore pro-ceeded with his plans, requesting to be sent to Arabia, as this field appealed to him as of the greatest calling for a type of work especially appealing to him. In forwarding his ne*} and greatest opportunity, and application to the Board of Foreign Missions, Mr. Bilkert stated that "from looking at the Christian life as a passport to Heaven when this life is done, and as a rule and order laid down to be followed as a duty, I have come to look upon the Chris-tian life as the means of the largest and fullest life here and now, the life of the greatest satisfaction and happiness for oneself, and finally the means of bringing to others that same satisfaction in this life and hope for the life to come." The testimonials to Mr. Bilkert's char-acter and ability and qualifications for missionary service sent to the Board by his professors at New Brunswick and Holland, and by his pastor, were of a very assuring na-ture and held out the promise of large usefulness on the mission field.

In May, 1917, Mr. Bilkert mar-ried Miss Anna Margaret Monteith, of Kalamazoo, and, having received appointment, they proceeded to Arabia in October, 1917. After reaching the field Mr. and Mrs. Bil-kert were stationed for two years at Bahrain, giving their time for the most part to the acquisition of the language. For the next two years (1920-1921) they occupied the

Tennis Courts, Gift of Class '26, Ready

in Spring

Tennis will soon return to Hope's Campus. The wish of a good many Hopeites is to come true this spring when at least one concrete court will be built when the waather per-mits. Last fall the base for two courts was built behind Carnegie Gym, and it won't be long before the top layer will be added. The class of '26 decided to build a tennis court when they learned that the new Memorial Chapel was to be erected on the site of the old courts. Nothing has been done for over a year, but this spring at least one court will be built

Tennis has always been popular with the Hope students. Hope's Tennis teams have always been among the best and this year should b e no exception with Klaasen and Vande Poel back from last year's squad, and a place to practice. Many of the students are very anxious to start playing, and the tennis courts will be the most popular spot on the campus.

HOME VOLUNTEERS HEAR PROF. WINTER

The Home Volunteers met last Thursday evening and listened to a very interesting talk by Prof. Win-ter; Speaking on church govern-ment, the professor dwelt at length on the position of power in the va-rious denominations and then gave his opinion as regards church forms, etc.

The meeting was attended by an enthusiastic crowd of eighteen po-tential preachers.

o The A.D.D.'s served hamburgs

and coffee to the two teams last Fraiday after the game.

Science Club Hears Prof. Lampen Talk

Last Tuesday night the Hope College Science Club met in the Emersonian Society hall. After the fire was coaxed into some sem-blance of activity, there was a general "round-the-fire" discussion. The first number was rendered by Dick Mouw, who read the paper, "Television," written by Adrian Kuyper. After some discussion of this topic the main speaker of the evening was given free rein. Then Professor Lampen gave the mem-bers one of those inimitable ram-bling talks on Steinmetz, that only he knows how to give. The aud-ience was in turn amused, inspired, and awed at the remarkable tales Prof. Lampen gave of this German-American genius. Only those who have heard our Math, teacher talk when he has his heart and soul in his subject can appreciate the rare treat that the Science Club was given.

After some discussion the meet-ing broke up.

Fraternal Hold Washington Stag

Echoing with calls of merriment, the "Fraternal Hall" was the scene of the annual Washington Stag, held this year on Thursday even-ing. The new frat-house has been the scene of several parties during the course of the winter, but the Stag commemorating the "Father of His Country" will stand as one of the most jovial. Toasts were offered by Fraters Bosch, De Pree, and Boone. Frater S. De Pree sang several solos. President Ot-to Yntema served as chairman. The annual serenade at the Voorhees Dormitory was run off in grand style, including fireworks. The supper was prepared by the "La-dies' League for Service" of the Sixth Reformed Church.

Y. M. and Y .W. Hold Joint Meeting

The Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W.-C. A. held a joint meeting last Tuesday evening in the chapel. "Bud" Vredevoogd led the meeting on the subject "Living Together." He lamented the lack of real con-versation on worthwhile topics, which is so often displaced by idle chatter, and the desire for artifi-cial amusement instead of the ap-preciation of natural beauty. Too many of us, he cited, see only the fences on the campus and fail to see the pines. He pleaded for frankness of conversation on the vital and religious things. Too great a number of us are apt to condemn a fellow student before we really have become acquainted well enough to appreciate his worth for often this same person becomes a leader in college life.

Mr. Jay Van Dusen, a cometist from Grand Rapids, played "The Lost Chord," which was followed by a pleasing encore. He was accom-panied at the piano by his father. The devotional exercises were con-ducted by Edith Dings. Howard Schade led the singing and was assisted by Mr. Van Dusen.

This meeting replaced the cus-tomary exchange of representatives from the "Y" groups and proved very successful, judging from the interest shown by the large number present.

No man will ever be a big ex-ecutive who feels that he must, either openly or under cover, fol-low up every order he gives and see that it is done—nor will he ever develop a capable assistant-— Mahin.

SPOELSTRA IS HIGIf SCORE MAN WITH 18 POINTS

TO HIS CREDIT

SCORE 36-17

The Hope Yearlings gave the Re-serves from Calvin College a sound licking at the Armory last Friday evening by the tune of 86-17. The Frosh gave the finest ex-hibition of basketSall so far this year, before a crowd which was thoroughly convinced at the end of the session that they could play basketball.

At the outset Hope jumped into a small lead through the fine play-ing of Van Haitsma and Spoelstra. Hope maintained a meager lead as the half closed with a score of 18-10.

The Frosh came back the second half with some extra "pep" and pushed up the score by leaps-and bounds. They simply passed to "Watty" Spoelstra and then he would either score or he would pass to some other Frosh who was wait-ing to score. This kind of pro-cedure continued throughout the major part of the last half. Calvin on the other hand attempted to put up a fight at times, but their scoring sprees were short lived.

Spoelstra was easily the out-standing member. of the Frosh team, he only made eighteen points for his evening's share of fun. And the entire team play was centered about him. Dalman and . Van Haitsma also toiled in a fine man-ner, and aided Spoelstra on many plays.

Calvin presented only one out-standing player, a native of Hol-land, Westing by name, who scored eleven points.

Vander Poel handled the game very well.

Cosmopolitans Hold Stag at Grace

Church RAINBOW IS THEME

The 39th annual stag of the Cos-mopolitan Society was held at Grace Episcopal church parlors Feb. 21, 1929.

A delicious dinner was served by the ladies of the church to approxi-mately 50 guests.

After the dinner was over, cigars and cigarettes were passed and the party settled down to enjoy a fine program. The theme of the evening was "The Rainbow."

What! New books, and instantly there is a rush to the library. Fa-culty and students eagerly seize upon the new arrivals. It is a varied collection consisting of biographies, histories and books of travel, twenty-nine works in forty-two vol-umes. The donor. Dr. J. W. Bos-man, alumnus of '85, has often thus remember his alma mater.

The highlight of the group is "The Source Records of the World War."

The American Legion, who were by special permission given access to the military archives of the na-tions involved in the war, published the records. The bindings of the seven volumes are facsimiles of the bindings of the Versailles Treaty, one of which was had by each of the seven leading powers. Informa-tion heretofore suppressed is now offered to the eyes of the world so that future generations might know the true horror of war. The cost of the records is somewhat over one hundred dollars. All profit accru-ing from the sale goes to the aid of disabled veterans. Only persons with war records are able to pur-chase this special publication and we are indeed fortunate to receive so splendid a collection specially registered in the name of Hope Col-lege. Much more could be said but come and see for yourselves.

Dr. Bosman's previous donations include such works as "The Har-vard Classics," leather bound vol-umes of "Latin and Greek Class-ics," Hubbard's "Little Journeys" in the famous Roycroft bindings, a very elaborate set of "The Litera-ture of Italy Series," and Burton's "The Book of a Thousand Nights and a Night."

In your search for good litera-ture ask Miss De Pree about Dr. Bosman's collections and enjoy the very best our library has to offer.

FREYLING - DE KONINC In Grand Haven last Thursday

afternoon, a very pretty impromp-tu wedding took place at the Pres-byterian Church House when Mr. Arend Freyling, of Grand Rapids, a Hope College junior was united in matrimony to Misg Hermina De Koning oi Holland.

The young people went to Grand Haven with the intent of being married, and in passing the church House, its charm caused them to have Reverend De Kraker of that church perofrm the ceremony. Rev. De Kraker is a fraternity brother Oil the groom. . Fortunately, the Ladies' Aid So-cial was in progress in the church house at the time, so the wedding went on with 1̂1 the "fixin's " The couple came in to the tune of the Wedding March from Lohengrin, while after the ceremony, one of the ladies sang, "I Love You Truly.'

The curtains were drawn, the candles, center and sidelights were lit and the fire kindled, all of which added to the cozy charm of the room. Refreshments, intended for the Ladies' meeting were served, completing the arrangements.

Mr. and Mrs. Freyling are at home to their friends at 129 E. 10th street, in H o l l a n d j f f i ^ n . •

Undefeated Albion Team Takes Hope for

Sure M.I.A.A. Title The undefeated Albion college

basket ball team dispelled any championship hopes of the Hope

quint last week Tuesday, as they handed the Schoutenmen a 85-26 defeat but only after a hard fought game. The Hopeites went to Albion with a fighting chance of giving the Methodists a run for the M.I.A.A. crown, and although they gave all they had, the Albionites were a trifle better on the loop than the Orange and Blue representatives and thus managed to take the vic-tory. The Hope courtsters were without the services of Captain Vem Vander Hill and thus were handicapped, but Vandenbosh and De Velder filled the position in fine fashion.

Hope gave Albion a real scare in the early part of the game when Martin drew first blood with a goal, and the Hope defense repulsed every Albion effort to snare a deuce. Goldburg finally scored from mid-court and B. Grey and Latta repeated, gmng the Methodists a lead which was held for the re-mainder of the tilt. At the inter-mission the Albion team was on the big end of a 15-8 score.

Hope's game comeback in the last half was the feature of the game. With the never-die spirit, the Hope-ites managed to creep up on the leaders but each time would be re-pulsed with a barrage of baskets. Cox Van Lente thrilled the large crowd that witnessed the game with three baskets from mid-court in the last period. Both coaches used nu-merous substitutes in the fray, all the entries playing basket ball of varsity caliber.

Captain Carlson was the leading scorer for the Methodists with four deuces and a foul. He was ably aid-ed in offensive play by Ernie Grey and Richards, a substitute. Vanden-bosch, Martin and Van Lente di-vided the point-getting for Hope, While John Klay played a good game at guard, scaring the Albion-ites with his fast breaking attack.

Hope is still even in the M.I.A.A! standings, having won three and lost an equal number of tilts. Sev-eral of the teams yet have to make their appearance in Carnegie gym.

The Hope Frosh played a miser-able game at Albion and lost to the Freshm an squad in the prelim by a 22-12 score. At no point of the game did the yearlings show the type of basgket ball that they are capable of, their basket-shooting having disappeared.

HEATLESSDAYAT VAN VLECK

• Thursday morning many Van , Vleckites were late for chapel, oth-

ers did not get there, and some did not even visit their classes. Why? No heat in the building, and there-fore the regular alarm, the rap-tap-tapp—bang of the radiators, did not awaken them on time; and others, when they realized the frigidity of the situation and when they thought of the possible results —tonsilities, pneumonia, etc.—de-cided that it would be better far if they would lay in bed until the rooms became warm. So they lay in bed, gazing at the ceiling. How wonderful, how white, how pure! Was this not equal to a chapel ex-cercise? Yea, was it not far better?

Quiet hours were suspended. The building shook as wrestlers tum-bled and bumped here, there, and nowhere; and the halls rang with the shouting and the tumult of the fans. But hark! amidst the uproar a familiar sound was heard: "tap-tap—bang—bang." Hurrah! Three cheers for the plumbers, six for the janitors, and then the rousing Van Vleck song, "Hail, hail, the gang's all here," Then each retired to his room to STUDY.

N. J. Burggraaff. o

We advise everyone to start sav-ing pennies, nickles, etc., so as to be able to go to Grand Rapids to see the Hope Calvin game.

half-delighted to receive a novel and much beautiful edition of the Kalamazoo College Catalog en-tered as second class matter under the new name of "Kalamazoo Col-lege Index."

If the compilers will allow me, I shall indulge in a few comments. The picture of the campus and its buildings satisfy the aesthetic, while the items, explanatory of the scenes, are highly edifying. It will be my privilege, I assure you, dear editors, to acquaint the students here with the outstanding person-ages of your faculty.

Without a doubt, we at Hope will be inspired to bigger and better bigger and betterism.

However, we hope and desire that desire that the next edition of the Index, which is, I assure you, an excellent paper, will have returned to normal.

The Mac Weekly runs a coluirti., The Chopping Block, from which this good-sized statement is taken:

"Hew to the line and let the chips fall where they may."

—Arabian.

From this same paper is ex-cerpted a fragment of an address by Pres. Acheson of that school:

"The present generation is en-joying a heritage greater than any previous; the freedom has perhaps never been paralleled."

Truly, our is the heritage. All the reclines, literary and artistic and scientific, have been sent down the long chute of the ages to land at our feet. Indeed, we are the pupils of a million yesterdays. I oppose his last statement. Has freedom been any freer or abundant today than yesterday?

Recently the Olivet Echo gave notice to Freshmen to procure tick-ets for chapel attendance. Poor Olivet, how far behind us are you! We have chapel attendance on the curriculum, scheduled under Drs. Dimnent and Nykerk, impreson-ning the students from twenty minutes up to any time. We hope that it is not to be supposed that that which will not be effectual by affection will be so my coercion.

. Dr. Ward's plea, which was printed in the echo, for clear and accurate thinking demands a ter-rific response, especially since we are now more influenced by tradK tion, prejudice, bias, and others of the unhallowed group more than ever. Of course, this is no plea for iconoclasm, nor for orthodoxy. "There opened a way and ways

and a way . . . And the high soul chooses the

high And the low soul chooses the low. While in between on the misty

flats The rest drift to and fro."

HOPE H.S. NEWS A special program in commem-

oration of Washington's Birthday was given by the Senior Class last Thursday. The program consisted of readings from incidents of Washington's life, a biographical sketch, the rendering of a poem and other appropriate numbers. Many of Washington's wonderful traits were brought out in the presenta-tion of a few of his many letters.

Those that took part were Al-berta Rawls, Deane Knoll, Cather-ine Nettinga, Esther Mulder, Joy Hungerink, Milton Van Den Berg and Ben Eckwieler, Willard Van Den Berg of the Junior Class acted as chairman.

The Meliphone Society held a stag at their hall last Friday eve-ning, attending the Hope-Calvin game in a body afterwards.

Miss Mary Weldron, one of our worthy senior teachers, had her class write a description o^ a deer. When correcting the papers, the teacher found that she had been described by every member of the class.

FASCINATING H E R E

R E P O R T CARDS A R E

OUT - SO B E W A R E !

Report cards are out!! Girls crowded Mrs. Durfee's office to see the dread or otherwise, results and many were the elongated counten-ances which emerged from that his-toric place. Some, however, to re-lieve the monotony and to keep up our good name were wreathed in smiles or wore looks of smug self-satisfaction but these were very rare. We hear that there are sev-eral cases of "maniac depressive melancholia," (or word to that effect) threatening, but merely threatening. As yet we have heard of no actual instance where the dis-ease has taken active form. Many are the downcast Voorheesites who will be staying in evenings for rather than reposing on flowery beds of "e's" they are riding on stormy "c's"! The voice of the buzzer will be stilled in their rooms and loud will be the rustling of pages and scratching of pens.

Not a few of our fellow Hopeites have met their downfalls of late much to their chagrin. None are immune to the fascination and magnetic power of the pavements. Upper Classmen as well as the poor insignificant Freshies a r e a l l drawn downwards toward mother earth, sometimes even suffering painful injuries to their otherwise well-behaving equilibriums. Our in-tellectual Seniors especially are much perturbed when they meet with any opposing forces but when the force happens to be in the form of a stretch of slippery shiny ice, and none too soft ground, their exasperation is beyond all bounds. But be ye consoled wise ones for even the best of us meet with sud-den declines, in life. Seven o'clock classes find most of the participants still in the realm of sleep but sud-den jolts prove very good awaken-ers, don't they Joe? To see the dignity of the mighty Senior so ruffled sends a pleasurable thrill to the region of my funny bone producing one of those unique hu-man indulgences so mildly termed a "Hearty Laugh."

GIRLS A R E TARDY

A last dab with the powder puff, a hasty glance in the mirror, a scramble for books and boots and we're off for chapel, to find only too often, the closed doors con-fronting us. When the faculty walks out, they cast their eyes over the group of delinquents huddled in the back seats on the right. Most of the tardy ones are dorm girls, strange as.it may seem and many and varied are the excuses extracted by the harassed dean, for every good dean feels the responsi-bility of getting her family to chap-el on time.

Of course, the stock alibi is that the alarm didn't ring on time and there is the girl whose clock fell of the window sill. One girl fell down and tore her stockings because she had "forgotten" to wear galoshes and another had a nose bleed. The late mail bothers the freshmen as well as the late male. And — let us not forget those who fail to be prompt because they must stop to feed the squirrels.

The individualism of today is the mediocrity of tomorrow.

Albion at present seems to have things much their own way in M.I.A.A. basket ball circles. Hope and Alma are the only threatening teams and these have only a slim chance. Hope should defeat Albion at Holland and should Albion blaw any more games, the result will be quite a mixup.

o As one eminent logician re-

marked, "Give me victory or give me an alibi."

The darkest hour in any man's life is when he sits down to plan how to get money without earning it.—Greeley.

Lindy's Engagement Disappoints Girls

Have you noticed the down-cast expression on Peg's face the last week or so? The reason may be found in any newspaper you pick up.

^ es. Colonel Charles Lindbergh is engaged to be married! Peg had hopes of being the lucky bride but, alas, Lindy never visited Hope Col-lege to secure this information.

Oh! Peg, isn't the only one by any means! Several of the dorm girls have been infected with the same disease causing their room-mates to tear their hair at the in-cessant praise and tears bestowed upon Lindy.

We're wondering if Doc Robin-son could suggest a cure.

o Flapper Fanny says, "Punctual-

ity means guessing how late the girls will be."
