Re- markably enough, it was Captain Jun Bremer who stood out for the Dutchmen along with freshman center Bob Hendrickson. These two, alternating with each other be- tween the center and guard posi- tions, made a sharp comparison — Bremer, capping his career with a brilliant performance; and Hend- rickson just at the start of his. Bremer came through often with timely one-handers and a hook now and then; "Hank" was at his best, scoring repeatedly on long spin- ning jump shots and tap-ins, while both shone in the all-important re- bound department. Overshadowing these individual performances, though, was the one that the team put on as a whole. It is worthy to note that although Hope ran up 95 points, no one scored more than 21 points — the sign of a truly balanced team. Another noticeable factor to me was the poise and confidence with which Hope played the entire con- test. It was a game between two fast-breaking and high - scoring clubs, and Hope with her depth in dependable reserves just was at her best. So to all concerned we say "con- gratulations"; and especially to the graduating seniors, we say "you've earned it."

What Patriotism Means To Me During the month of February we commemorate the lives
of our two most famous presidents, George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln. Theodore Roosevelt, in his essay, "The
Heritage of Noble Lives," speaks of these two men as "high-
est on the world's list of worthies." Without Washington we
might never have been able to form a United States of Amer-
ica; without Lincoln it probably could not have remained one
nation.
We are fortunate to have had such men in our past his-tory, because they practiced the highest form of patriotism. Through their lives and deeds, we have an example of what
we can do toward the betterment of our country and the world.
Patriotism and good citizenship begin at home, in church,
and in school, even for the greatest Americans. Therefore,
these places should receive our foremost attention. Here are
a few common things that we can practice to promote patri-
otism: through faith in God; understanding, tolerance, and
friendship toward other races, religions, or nationalities;
more willingness to help others and less desire to help our-
selves; defense of right and justice; learning more about our own government and those of other nations; and through
making the most of all our opportunities to better ourselves and to fit ourselves for some useful good in the world. These things were practiced by both Washington and Lincoln; these things we also should practice.
Of course, we can hardly hope to gain the success or fame of either of these men, but we can still do our patriotic duty. Our nation is composed of some 140 million individuals, and each has a part in its future success as a democracy. Like characters in a play, everyone of us has a definite role; some may have larger parts than others, but each must be himself a success to make the whole a success. When we do our part, we are practicing true patriotism. The strength of a nation is determined by the spirit of its people, not by its army, navy, wealth, or numbers residing within its borders.
Let us hope that the future generations, as they come and go, may be inspired with a genuine spirit of patriotism. For it is the vital spark of our nation's freedom, and the shield of our nation's honor. — DeLoyd Hesselink.

LITTLE MAN ON THE CAMPUS by Bibler
Symphony of Nations Mar. 8 Honors Hope Foreign Students
Although Hope students are very proud of their foreign students throughout the year, the evening of March eighth has been set aside to honor all the students from other lands. These students will be the guests of honor at the banquet to be held at six-thirty in Durfee Hall and the program will feature songs, readings, and folk-dances typical of different lands. The finale will consist of the majestic "Song for Peace" by Sibelius sung by a group of students who have lived in other lands and accompanied by an orchestra ensemble.
The dinner will consist of Amer-ican adaptations of foods from other lands which will be repre-sentative of the contributions of other nations and yet will not be difficult fo r those students who are unaccustomed to foreign foods. Tickets will be $1.25 and $.85 for boarding students and they will go
on sale in Van Raalte Hall on February 27th.
All students and faculty mem-bers are urged to attend "Sym-phony of Nat ions / ' sponsored by ALCOR and directed by Ruth Koeppe on Saturday e v e n i n g , March eighth.

The Perfect Day In the eerie light of sunrise
I rejoice in God! For the new day He has given
I rejoice in God! Whatever He may send this day He will keep me on life's way If I only watch and pray.
I rejoice in God!
In the dazzling light of noonday I rejoice in God!
For the service I may render I rejoice in God!
Errors I shall make, no doubt, But He will never shut me out. Temptations He will put to rout.
I rejoice in God!
In the sunset glow of evening I rejoice in God!
For the perfect day that's ending I rejoice in God!
Take what I this day have done May it help Thy kingdom come, May Thy will and mine be one.
I rejoice in God!
In the darkness of the midnight I rejoice in God!
For the needed rest He gives me I rejoice in God!
In the watches of the night There need be no fear nor fright For round Him dwells eternal light.
I rejoice in God!

Peripatetic Pre-Sems Effect "Meeting Of East And West"
By Isaac Rottenberg
Friday afternoon, February 15, thirteen pre-seminary stu-dents left from the Hope College campus for a five-day trip to New Jersey. The main purpose of this trip was to enable those students who wished, to get acquainted with New Brunswick Seminary before making their final decision as to which seminary they would choose for pursuit of their theological studies. Roy Adelberg initiated the plan and did a fine job in making necessary preparations.
Saturday and Sunday were spent
in North Bergen, N. J. , where
members of the Woodcliff Com-
munity Church (Dr. Van Strien,
pastor, is presently also also Pres-
ident of the General Synod of the
Reformed Church in America) dem-
onstrated a fine spirit of hospital-
ity by entertaining the students in
their homes. A short visit to New
York was highly appreciated by
the group.
Monday morning the group left
for New Brunswick S e m i n a r y
where the Hopeites attended classes
and had two days of fellowship
with both faculty and student
body. Tuesday evening the pre-
sems were invited to dinner by the
married students of the Seminary,
and it seems that several Hopeites
paid special attention to an enu-
meration of what their hosts called
"the great advantages of married
life." Fur ther announcements con-
cerning this mat ter can be expected
in the near fu ture .
It is the unanimous opinion of all
who participated in the trip that
the venture proved to be a great
success. No major troubles oc-
curred, and that the "Lubbers-bus"
ran out of gas on the Pennsylvania
Turnpike has to be explained by
the fact that the driver at that
moment was a philosophy major.
The occupants of the limousine
received special permission by tele-
phone f rom Dr. Lubbers' office to
take the route through Canada on
their return. Rumors that this was
requested because of fear that they
would again be beaten by a Plym-
outh are being* denied vigorously
by the Chrysler people, and are
probably not true.
It is also the unanimous opinion
of all participants tha t such a
"meeting of East and West" can
have very significant and whole-
some consequences for the future .
We have again been reminded of
the fact that the Church is the
Church of Christ, and that in Him
there is no East or West. We have
again realized how often we have

The exclusive society of Science Building Dwellers (something like cliff dwellers) have fel t very ne-glected this year. Isolated as they are, T H E ANCHOR serves as one of their few contacts with the out-side world and so your reporter will a t tempt to re-establish that contact which has been wanting since the depar ture of Eddie Kerle for a bigger and better Chem lab. A typical tour through the Science Building s ta r t s with the Freshman Chem lab. You first notice this den of t e r ror about a half a block away when the odor of HoS begins to permeate the atmosphere. Those ra ther green looking fellows hang-ing on to the walls are getting started in Quan. Balances are in-teresting pieces of equipment, are 'nt they, boys? You'll probably be strongly at t racted to the other end of the first floor (especially if you have a cast iron s tomach). The current topic of discussion there is magnetism.
From the second floor comes the odor of benzene and boys with pe-culiar yellow spots on their hands. These are organic students and may be easily identified by the large number of holes in their clothing. Taking number of holes as a criterion fo r diligence, I am sure Bob Burrows deserves an A plus. Also on second floor a re the rare species known as Senior Chem Majors. They are not easily iden-tified because they are seldom seen, except of course, fo r t r ips to Mills fo r milk and ice cream. They always clean all the chemi-cals out of the mixer before they make their malteds.
The third floor is jus t beginning to acquire its characterist ic odor, thanks to the Comparative Ana-tomy students. (A note to the un-initiate — the comparison is be-tween shark, cat, and m an ) . The Freshman biology class is being broken in fo r their first experience with f rogs while the Advanced Psychology class slowly bleed to death under Dr. West ra te ' s watch-ful eye.
Your reporter has a lab to at-tend but will be back next issue with news f rom the hear t of the campus, the Science Building.
Ah, Sweet Misery Of Life By Julie Bernius
I don't know how I got there, or what I was doing there, but there
I was somewhere up in the frigid Arctic, and I was, believe it or not,
chasing a little, scared, fuzzy, white polar bear up and down over
those treacherous, solid mountains of ice. But something off in the
distance caused me to give up the chase. It was the loud, piercing
sound of a ship's bell. I searched the horizon for its source and then
I saw that it was coming from a small boat which was being tossed
about helplessly in the icy waters, and swooping down upon it as an
eagle swoops upon a chick was a gigantic and fierce-looking ice-berg. I screamed frantically! What could I do? How could I help i t?
I started running toward the water 's edge, stumbling, falling, but yet racing blindly onward. I could still hear the bell clanging plead-ingly, and then, with all the impact and force of an atomic explosion, the two met head on. I let out another scream and then all went black.
As I was sinking backward into that black, death-like darkness, the clanging of the bell continued, louder, louder . . . Slowly my senses re-turned to me and I realized that that horrid ringing was only the alarm clock. Oh, horrors! Could it already be 6:30? I t seemed only a matter of minutes since I had flopped into bed, exhausted.
Gradually I began to burrow my way f rom under the mountain of blankets like a ground hog coming to the surface on Ground Hog Day. Brrr . . . For two cents I would have burrowed right back in. But, as usual, my hearty appetite came out victor in the ensuing argument with my conscience and I tumbled wearily f rom the bed and searched blindly fo r my slippers.
The room was like the Arctic of my dreams minus the polar bear.
Why, there were even icicles hanging f rom the open window. For a
moment I stood in the middle of the room shaking until my eyes
opened and I got my bearings. Then, instinctively, as if by robot
control, (because surely my senses don't work on their own so early
in the morning), I turned to the right and hurried to the warmth of the
hall, where I s tar ted on my job as official "waker-upper" fo r several
of the girls.
Then, timidly, I slowly opened my door and prepared to re-enter my
refr igerated chamber. The cold air rushed to meet me and encircled
me as one would embrace a long-lost fr iend. Why, I bet I had more
goose flesh on me than the goose itself had. But, as I keep telling
myself, "I 'm rugged", so I just snubbed the coldness and tried to con-
vince myself that I was warm. Ha!
To please my sleeping roommate I closed the window, noticing in
doing so tha t Jack Frost had done a very complete paint job on both
sides of the pane. Here was revealed all the beauty of Mother Nature 's
handiwork in a conglomeration of designs — trees, s tars , curly-ques
and the like of it. You do understand, of course, tha t I only closed the
window so my roommate wouldn't catch cold. You know Pm rugged!
Why, I jus t love tha t cold, invigorating, f resh air! Besides, I learned
in Hygiene once tha t it 's healthy to sleep with the window open.
Af te r I had hurriedly dressed, I took a last look a t myself in the
mirror, f rom which, incidentally, I had to first wipe a f ros ty film, and then descended the stairway to the dining room. But you can see that I am none the worse fo r sleeping in a "cool" room except tha r -ah— ah—choo . . .!

Goof-Offs May Be Geniuses In Disguise
Amherst, Mass. — (LP.) — College records reveal many in-stances in which students who received below-average or mediocre grades became outstanding leaders later on in busi-ness and the professions, according to Dr. Charles W. Cole, president of Amherst College. Some persons reach their peak performance in secondary school, others in college and gradu-ate school and still others after school, he added.
Dr. Cole noted that one Amherst student had a barely passing grade in his sophomore year, increased it to 79.85 in his junior year and attained an 83.40 in his senior year. "But before he was 35," he said, "this person was head of a most important government agency and today, still under 40, he is execu-tive vice-president of a great cor-poration."
In addition to the "late-bloomer," there are other types that present even more difficult problems. Dr. Cole, emphasized. " O n e is t h e 'under-achiever'; He is the able lad who drif ts through college, passes his courses and enjoys the life around him, but never acquires any of the training, skills, discipline, insights or interest that education should give.
"Then t h e r e is t h e ' h a l f -achiever': He, w i t h g r e a t gifts, makes only a respectable record of
development and is like a six-cylinder engine sputtering along because the ignition system is not functioning in two of the cylin-ders."
Among the other questions raised by this phenomenon. Dr. Cole said, were these: Does the college ad-mission system favor those who mature ear ly? Does it put a pre-mium on precocity? How can a college detect the candidate who has still within him the potential-ity for fu r ther growth? How can the colleges distinguish him from the applicant who has already de-veloped as fa r as he ever will?
Perhaps by studying the back-grounds of applicants for admis-sion to college and by testing their "motivation" it might be possible to help the "late-bloomers," the " u n d e r - a c h i e v e r s " and "half-achievers," Dr. Cole suggested.

BOS CRACKS RECORD, DUMPS 36 Average Over 90 Points Per Game For Final Four Conference Contests
Following- the pattern set in the last Alma game, Hope's high-flying Dutchmen soared to four more conference victories, banging in more than ninety points in each until falling just short in the last, to sew up the M1AA flag for the first time in live years.
In preparation for the two important games to follow, Hope smacked Adrian, 93-()4. Later in the week they fought off Albion on the Britons' floor, 98-91, r e t u r n i n g home to whip Kalamazoo, 95-76, and to end their conference play with a win over Hillsdale, 87-72.
Brits Fight Back
Facing their biggest challenge of the season, the Dutch, behind 19-18 at the first quarter, racked up 34 points in the second to build a 52-.'58 half time lead over the speedy Albion squad. After the intermis-sion Hope got a 20-point advantage on a new-type control brand of bal1, but the B.its, once solving the style, stormed back on their own fas t break, and, on out-of-bounds p.ays, by long, half-court passes before the Dutch had a chance t(. set up a defense, to hack away at the margin, spurred on by the cheers of their backers.
The Dutch cause darkened with about five minutes remaining wher. Jun Bremer and Bob Visser foulec. out with Albion close behind. Subs Zeke P i e r s ma and Bob Bolema, along with the other three s t a . t e r s matched Albion point for point in the final minutes to hang on foi the narrow victory. The Britons flashed their typical spirit in nevei quitting, and with their tremendous speed t h r e a t e n i n g to run Hopt ragged.
Little Johnny Porter, the league's high scorer, rolled in 33 points for the high of the evening. The Dutch scorers were led by Visser with 22, and Ron Bos and Bob Hendrickson with 21 each.
With a victory meaning the title, the potent Dutchmen s a n k t h e Kazoo hopes on the local floor by handing them a 95-7(5 loss. The Ho.nets, only conquerors of Hope this year in the MIAA, fell before a first quar ter onslaught, then re-coiled to stay within striking dis-tance the remainder of the game until the last minutes.
Hook artist Manny Glasser was effectively tied up throughout the game, making only a few of his 19 markers on the shot. Deadeye John Stommen's 22 counters paced the Hornets.
The Dutch shooting average was off its usual pace, but through fine rebounding, both on the offensive and defensive boards, they were able to control the ball during most of the game. Big Bob Hendrickson, with his turning jump shot in fine form, tallied 21 points. After the game, with the title clinched, Coach Visser was raised to the shoulders of the team members.
Ohrman Hits For 25
The Adrian encounter again af-forded the substitutes a chance to play a large portion of the game. The first s tr ing piled up a 51-25 halftime margin to clinch the de-cision early. The Bulldogs put up a good fight in the second half to ring up their (54 tallies, till then their highest output of the year in conference play. Their flashy fresh-man center. Bob Ohrman, knocked

in 25 points for the high of the night. Bob Visser of Hope hit for 20 before retiring, while Ron Bos accounted for 18.
Cold After Let-Down
An upset seemed to be within reach for the Hillsdale Dales as they hung onto a lead for the first fifteen minutes but fell finally be-fore the Hope attack, 87-72. The Dutch showed little shooting accu-racy, hitting on only 29Cr of their shots, and inferior ball handling, which were probably attributable to a let-down atti tude a f t e r win-ning the title. Sharp rebounding kept the ball in Hope hands most of the time and led to the large number of shots, 129, that the locals were able io make.
As usual Bob Visser, Ron Bos and Bob Hendrickson produced the most for Hope from a scoring standpoint, the first knocking in 21 with the lat ter two making 20 apiece. Tom Walsh was high Dale man with 21, while Dave Hinkle collected 20 points.

Bremer Humbles Calvin Offense
Gentleman Ron Bos, pass ing off from set-ups to t eammates who were equal ly reluctant to shoot, set a new Hope College single-game scoring mark Tuesday night as he meshed 36 points to erase the previous high of 32. Dropping Calvin by a 93-67 count to conclude its regular season's play with a 9 - g a m e win streak, the Dutchmen tempered their ever potent fast-break play with a n amusing A l p h o n s e - G a s t o n routine for Ron's benefit, but seeing little virtue in mak ing 50 or 52 points, the sharp-shooting guard fed to the reserves until retiring from the game amid thunderous ap-plause.
Jerry Jacobson. who netted 18 in addition to p laying a bril-liant floor game, as is his cus-tom, seemed particularly eager to make what may be Ron's last game for Hope a personal success as both passed up several easy lay-ups which were then lost to the sharp-rebounding Knights.
Cap ta in Jun Bremer, field g e n e r a l a n d p l a y - m a k e r , c apped his four-year career as one of the greatest players ever to don a Hope uniform in the Tuesday night encounter. The greatest rebounder and hook artist we've ever seen, he's the ANCHOR'S nomin-ation for most va luab le player on a team of scoring giants such as Bos. Visser, Hendrick-son. and Jacobson, a t eam which averaged over 90 points per game for its f inal 9 contests.
Approximately two weeks ago, Majid Tadayon was beaten in a very close Golden Gloves Tourna-ment bout in Grand Rapids by de-cision; his conqueror was Paul Wright, a husky Negro from Flint, Michigan. Wright went on to the last round of the state finals and knocked out his opponent in that fight. Tadayon still r e s p e c t s Wright as a powerful puncher, but feels that he could have done bet-ter had he been rested up suffi-ciently. Of course, it is realized that it often takes a lot of endur-ance to survive the rough Golden Gloves schedule.
In another week, Majid, with the whole G. R. YMCA boxing club, will travel to Detroit to try his luck in the AAU tournament. With a little bit of American boxing under his belt, Majid might be able really clean house this trip.

Hope Grabs Ten IMore Toward Trophy Blazing Offense Lands Hope On
Top Of MIAA As Season Ends A lecoid breaking basketball season in the MIAA came to a close last week with the
Hope College Dutchmen sitting on the top by two full games, taking their first cage crown since 1946-47. Following the Dutchmen in a tie for second were two other powers in the conference this year, Albion and Kalamazoo.
Offense was the order du r ing the season, with most t eams employ-ing the f a s t break and running up nearly three-f igure scores a t t imes. Hope, with a record of four consecutive o v e r - 9 0 point-making sprees, completed the year with an average of a phenomenal 85.7 tal-lies per game, a probable record.
The D u t c h m e n swept through the second round undefeated and ended wi th a s t r ing of six s t r a igh t victories a f t e r the i r lone defea t to Kalamazoo. In order to cap ture the flag they had to overcome Albion and Kazoo in order, a task seem-ingly impossible considering the s t r eng th of those two foes. The Britons, despi te t h e i r b l i n d i n g speed, sharpshoot ing, and home court , fell in a t ight f r ay , 93-91, while the Hornets , off the peak they hit in mid-season, fell by 95-76. Following their encounters with the D u t c h b o t h t h e s e schools whipped th rough with clean slates, each ending with a seven-and-three record.
Alma 's Scots broke even a t the end, while Hillsdale and Adrian trai led the loop, the Dales collect-ing two victories in ten meet ings, and the Bulldogs emerging winless.
Though most potent on offense, Hope wound up four th in the con-ference on defense with a 70.9 per game mark aga ins t them. Albion, second on offense, sported the best defensive average .
The Bri tons ' bril l iant little John Por te r blasted a new individual scoring mark into the MIAA books to supplant Hope's ex-s ta r Russ DeVette. D e V e t t e ' s m a r k was broken by about seven or eight players this year , a fac t indicative of prevai l ing high scores. Bob Vis-
ser and Ron Bos of the Dutch alone exceeded DeVette 's total with each collecting 180 points in the ten con-tes ts . Por te r ' s official mark is not yet available, but the speedster had been ave rag ing well over 20 points a game ear l ier .

Regular season play for the Hope basketball team is now completed, and one cannot deny that the team had a most successful year. And when one considers the terrific teams Hope had to beat in order to take the MIAA title, he is likely to believe the team had a sensational season.
A few weeks a^o it seemed a virtual impossibility for the Dutchmen to beat the hot Albion Britons on the Albion floor and then to follow by defeating Kalamazoo, only conference squad to master the Dutch. Yet they came through to do just that — by a narrow margin, of course, against Albion, a game which showed how nearly equal the two teams are. But the fact that they did win shows what a fine team they were — a team deserving; to win the crown.
George Mather of the Albion Evening Recorder noted a f te r the game that Albion, since it did lose the title, was glad it lost to the Hope five because of their fine spirit and sports-manlike atti tude. This is another at tr ibute of the squad. They took reversals in their stride — whether a miscalled decision or a defeat — and kept on, intent on playing basket-ball and on winning. Hope has always been proud of the conduct of its athletes, both on and off the field, and cer-tainly this year's cagers were no exception.
Although we have no official records, we are inclined to say that this year's was the highest scoring team in Hope's history. In overall competition they averaged 80 points a game and wound up in the MIAA with an 85.7 per game average. This brings up the topic of how the present team would compare with some of the hot Hope teams of the past.
It s a hard thing to say, on account of the different brands of ball played then and now. Ten years ago most teams played a control type. They believed in hanging onto the ball until a shot could be made and that was dead sure. Consequently scores were predominantly low, all around the country. Teams usually did not hit for as many as fifty points in a game.
But there's a certain thrill in seeing and hearing a basket-ball slip through the meshes — a thrill not found enough in control ball. The fast break came increasingly into vogue. The crowd liked it and so did the players, and each year scores got higher and higher. Examples of the old type are still to be found, especially around Oklahoma and Texas; but throughout most of the nation scoring is the rage.
Even now each year brings totals soaring increasingly larger. At present the three-digit mark is often threatened. However it is still a risky proposition, for a two-figure num-ber administers less of a sting to a defeated team than a three-figure number. Several times this year it was an obvi-ous effort for the Hope team to stay under the 100-mark; but at present it was worth the effort. Several weeks ago Cincinnati walloped Western Reserve, 107-52, and now Cincy officials^are admitting their error.
We venture to say that within a couple of years plus-100 scores will be commonplace, probably for both teams; but now the situation is still ticklish. The change must be made gradually.
Eventually, of course, the pendulum will swing the other way, when the public gets tired of the style and high scoring in general, but until then some spectacular games will be witnessed.

Briton Describes Impressions Of Nigeria Little Hornets
Edge Past Little Dutch
The Hope JV squad was defeated for the second t ime in a row by a close margin when they lost to the Kazoo second team, 50-47.
The smaller but faster Hornet team was constantly beating the Dutch down the floor on both of-fense and defense throughout the first half. When the Kalamazoo fas t break was stopped, the Orange and Black were able to set up plays and score with great consistency.
In the second half, the superior height of the Dutch began to show its effect, and the Schouten-coached boys began to reduce the Kalamazoo lead. It was during this s e c o n d half that Glenn Straatsma put on his best effort of the season, as he consistently intercepted passes, and also did some clever offensive maneuvering. The Dutch were never quite able to catch up, and were still three points down at the final gun.
Leading scorer for the Dutch was again A1 Nelson, rangy center, with 14 points. Straatsma added 10, mostly in the second half. The top point producer for the Hornets was ambidextrous Bobby Vander Veen, also with 14.

Boy, now they have a time getting that ball away from
old Fred, huh?
By Charles Wilmot Mr. Wilmot is the director for the colonies department of the British council in London. He came to Nigeria last July to conduct the course on local government organized by the extra-mural department of the University College, Ibadan. He also saw the work of the British Council in Nigeria.
I am just about to leave Nigeria a f te r only one month's stay but before going there are one or two things I should like to say. In so short a time as a month naturally my impressions must be sketchy immature. It has been possible to visit only a few places in the West, North and East and to meet only a few, too few people.
The first and most abiding* im-pression is the astonishing warmth and friendliness of one's reception. Never, I think, in all my travels about the world have I been ac-cepted and made welcome so r ^ d -ily and in so genuine a way as in Nigeria. Everywhere it is the same in the street, in the market, at meetings, in private houses — everywhere. Genuine friendliness and hospitality must surely be the outstanding "natural characteris-tic" of the Nigerian people.
Secondly, I am astonished at once by the variety and at the same time the "oneness" of Ni-geria. You are a league of peoples in yourselves and welding your-selves together into something greater and more varied and in teresting than the sum of the component parts.
The world is not so rich in colour and variety that it can af-

Hazy Hess4 Hesselogy From f a r and near our team is known Down through the years its fame has grown. And now, this year we all can say, "Hurrah! The title came our way."
We have men both big and small. And all know how to play great ball. Let's look them over one by one; Come on! Let's all join in the fun.
There's Bounding Bob who's not so small. He hails from yonder Zwemer Hall; And Anglin' A1 and Tricky Norm Who spread their wings just like T Dorm.
There's Handy Henry, short for Bob, Who's quite a hero among the mob, Plus Dashin' Dave who plays quite fair . Alias — "Kilroy Kemp," who wasn't there.
There's "Rollicking Rink," better known as Willie, A whirlin' cyclone who drives them silly; While Bustlin' Bos who shows great form Bolts through the blue like a thunder storm.
The spring in Jun is fine and dandy. His play is sweet as sugar candy. Just watch him strike that Atlas pose — Pivot, hook, and there it goes.
There's Violent Viss, better known as "Bones," Who'd be a king on a thousand thrones If lands were useful as limbs and joints And armies as his scoring points.
Let 's not forget our Jostlin' Jake, There's a guy that takes the cake. He knows just how to show his stuff And never says the score's enough.
Last of all there's Zealous Zeke, Who always seems to hit his peak; And Classy Ken Van Regenmorter, A gallant knight in shining armor.
All these boys round out the squad. The men deserve your great applause. Against the challenging, bruising foe Each one is likely to steal the show.
These boys have run and stolen the ball. They've passed and rebounded to please all, A group of which we can be proud, All have managed to win the crowd.
And now, three cheers for their coach, John, Who never mumbled, "Pour it on!" He guided the team to many a win. His constant plugging brought them in.
Everyone lent a helping hand Plus Yonker and Hinga to make things grand. Now you know 'bout the coach and team — All these guys were on the beam.
We backed the Dutch at every game, A packed house always was our aim. With our support behind the boys A title's added to our joys.
— "Hazy Hess"

ford to lose one bit of its individual
contributions from the varied pat-
terms of its inhabitants. So Nige-
ria is meeting its especial contrib-
ution by preserving its differences;
but, merging them, at the same
time, into a fresh design. We have
done this in the United Kingdom
— English, Scots, Welsh, Irish,
Cornish and many others. Each
has his own offering towards a
paradoxical whole bigger than all
the pieces put together.
Again, I never cease to wonder
at the speed of assimilation of Ni-
geria. They have taken and are
using today things and ways un-
known less than fifty years ago. A
new "way of l i fe" is being fash-
ioned in little more than one gen-
eration. Has history anything to
show which is comparable? I very
much doubt it.
Nigerians themselves will be the
first to realize that they, like the
rest of us, have a long way to go
yet. But the fu ture is bright and
exciting. With a new Constitution
still upon the anvil both central
and local government are being re-
fashioned; a Nigerian University
is in the building, on all sides these
things are fo r Nigerians them-
selves to make or mar. The re-
sponsibility is heavy and the task
grave but I for one cannot doubt
that a people with so much good-
will, ingenuity and friendliness
will not make of their lively coun-
try something which they, and all
of us, will be proud. May I as one
who has fallen in love with you
and your country be allowed to
wish you the very best of good
fortune. It 's a case of love at first
sight.
