Plans have been made to have Mr. Joseph Moran, Physical Education Director of the Holland Public Schools, speak. Freshmen who are interested in Elementary Education are especi- ally urged id attend at the kinder- garten room of Washington School. Orchestra The orchestra members met Sep- tember 26, to submit their names and the instrument they play to the director. The organizational meeting will be held on October 3, at 7:15 P. M. in the chapel. All those who have had any previous experience as orchestra members are invited to attend the meeting. The orchestra is looking forward to an eventful year under Mr. Pal- mer Quackenbush, of Grand Rap- ids, well known in musical circles in western Michigan. English and German Clubs Seek Members English Majors will meet in the Commons Room, Van Raalte Hall, on October 10. All Juniors and Seniors who have or will have a major in English are eligible for membership. The class will dis- cuss plans for the coming year, and refreshments will be served after the business meeting. German Club Members of the German Club will be glad to hear that the open- ing meeting is scheduled for Octo- ber 11. New members are cordial- ly welcomed. The. only require- ment for membership is the com- pletion of one year of college Ger- man or two years of high school instruction in the language. Our evenings include song fests in German, German games, and often one of Miss Boyd's authentic iescriptions and stories of German life and ways. October 3,1948 Freshmen Don Green at All-College Mixer; Each Class To Give Program Japanese students, former internees, enrolled at Hope this year. Left to right, Ayaka Shintaku, Sumiye Konoshima. If all of you hardened Eastern- ers and Mid-Westerners are com- plaining about this " M i c h i g a n Weather," think of how it would feel had you been brought up in sunny California, where the only rain is "Drizzling Coca Cola." That is exactly what Ayako Shintaku and Sumiye Konoshima, our two Japanese-American students, think, for Ayako has never yet experi- enced a snowfall. Ay a, who is sixteen, was born in California, attending the public school through the eighth grade. She was then sent with her par- ents to the Pastom Internment Camp in Arizona, where she at- tended high school. She is now liv- ing with the Rev. Marion DeVelder. Majoring in languages, Aya finds that even being able to speak the Japanese language does not help her with her principal parts and conjugations. Petite eighteen-year-old Sumi lived in an Internment Camp in Wyoming with her parents until 1943 when the family moved to New York City. She found the "big town" quite different from the farm in California. She attend- ed George Washington high school in New York, but is still quite par- tial to the California school, speak- ing directly for the Chamber of Commerce, unquote. Living six miles out of town near Tunnel Park, Sumi finds it rather difficult to get in to school. She is taking a general course, is interested in Sports, likes Music, and plays the violin, or, as she so aptly put it, "plays at it." We hope Aya and Sumi come to love Hope as we do. Scalpel Club Under Dr. Vergeer Studies Biology This school year of 1945-46, Scalpel Club presents to the Hope- ite interested in the field of Biology a way to broaden his interest and knowledge in it. What is Scalpel Club, frosh? It's a departmental club formed especially for pre- medics, pre-nursing and Biology majors, under the capable guidance of our faculty adviser. Dr. Teunis Vergeer. Science courses are a prerequis- ite to join so only advanced stu- dents will be admitted. Weather Bolsters Hope Spirits at Beach Party Barbecues, corn-on-the-cob and baked beans were compensation for the cold weather on the All- College Beach Party held last Sat- urday. Other bolsters to Hope spirit were the faculty vg. student baseball game, a "truth and conse- quence" session, and the relays directed by Bunny Goff. To climax events Jack Stegeman, clean-up chairman, put Frosh boys in ac- tion. Juniors Elect Meeusen as Officers are Chosen Tuesday, September 26, marked the first meeting of the year of the class of 1947 for the election of new officers.

Elaine Meeusen was elected, and continued the meeting by opening the remainder of the nominations. Phyllis Voss was elected vice-president; Marian Dame elected as secretary; and John Mooi was elected as treasurer. The juniors have launched a suc- cessful year under the capable leadership of their newly elected officers.

Launched as a W.A.L. service project during the war, the booth will be maintained until war loan drives cease. Last year a jeep was purchased through sales of stamps. W.A.L. also plans to enlist co- eds in Red Cross work this year. Previously, knitting, rolling band- ages, and making surgical band- ages were a few items on the list of Red Cross work done by Hope girls. Van Dorn of N. J. Elected President Students of the freshmen class cast their votes on September 24 for Dick Van Dorn, the new class president. Dick, who hails from ilighland Park, New Jersey, is ma- joring in psychology and history and is taking a pre-seminary ourse. Don Vandenburg, who will take over the vice-presidency, claims Morrison, Illinois, as his home town, laking a liberal arts course, he has no definite plans for the future.

Judy Mulder, formerly of Grand Rapids, ani now of New York, was elected Treasurer. Judy plans on being a laboratory technician. Student Council representatives Peggy Prins from Holland and Jack Stegeman from Muskegon Heights were also chosen. "Y" News Boslooper at YW At our YWCA meeting last eve- ning, Tom Boslooper, a middler in Western Theological Seminary, spoke to us on "Why Young Wom- en Go to College." Sue Leetsma was in charge of devotions, and a girls' trio composed of Harriet Haines, Elaine Meeusen, and Mar- an Dame, sang. YM Hears Osterhaven Dr. Osterhaven, our new YMCA adviser, addressed the group last evening.

President Wilbur Brandli has appointed John DeVries as music chairman to replace Tim Harrison, who has recently joined the Navy. Lubbers Speaks on Marks of a Christian "The Marks of a Christian," namely a love for God and a love for our neighbor, was the theme of the message which Dr. Irwin J. Lubbers presented to the members of the Y organizations at the open- ing meeting of the year in the Memorial Chapel. Using personal experiences as illustrations, he drew a clear picture of how we may learn to love our neighbor, and with a true love for oar neigh- bor we, too, have a love for God. He left us with the challenge to "Commit our ways unto the Lord." Allan Staver was in charge of devotions, and Mrs. Frieda Grote Wezeman, accompanied by Betty Van I^ente, sang a solo entitled "Jerusalem," by Mendelssohn. the Wednesday publishing from two to three in the afternoon. We are respectfully requesting the stu- dent body and faculty to co-operate with us. Polio Causes Death Of Former Student The heart of Hope was saddened with the news of the sudden illness and death of John H. Kleis, son of Prof, and Mrs. Clarence Kleis, 96 E. 15th St., and active former student. John, 23, received- his commission of Flight Officer at Selman field, Monroe, Louisiana, iiturday morning, September 15.

The club is under the direction )f Harriet Van Donkelaar, presi- lent; Alice Laughlin, vice-presi- dent; Luella Pyle, secretary-treas- urer; Joanne Decker, correspond- ing secretary; and Elaine Biele- feld, debate manager. P & M Outline Busy Season Next Monday Palette and lasque will hold its first regular meeting.

Staver, Bielefeld To Present Green To The Officers On Friday night at 8:00 the traditional All-College Mixer will be held in the Carnegie Gymnasium. At this time all freshmen will don their "green," which will remain their identification for months to come. Along with the "green" come the following rules which are a must with all freshmen: (1) All frosh fellows must "pot" to upper-classmen with a sweeping bow, and "frosh" girls must make a pleasing curtsey. (2) Freshmen must wear their "green" at all times, on and off the campus, in and out of Holland. Only on Sundays are they exempt from these rules. Frosh Discuss Plans For Later Meetings At a meeting in the YWCA room last Friday night at 7:30, the Freshmen girls, with Jean and Janet Snow in charge, planned the organization of a Freshmen Girls' Club to be sponsored by the Pan- Hellenic Board. Ruth Joldersma, Pan-Hellenic president, and Libby Romaine, ex- plained the new system of a fresh- men organization, recounting wfiy the old plan was discarded And suggesting things to considqr in the makeup of their organization. For the next two weeks Freshmen girls are to be thinking about per- manent officers. Until then, tem- porary- co-chairmen of the club are Bea Lockwood and Arlene Wieten. This new organization, besides fulfilling the original purpose of avoiding disappointments and rush, regretted decisions, will also enable town and dorm girls to meet and know each other. Enrollment Increase Brings Total Close To Pre-War Status Hope's enrollment was still on the increase when this week two more returning veterans enrolled, boosting the total to 364 with 263 girls and 101 boys. This is the highest enrollment since war took away most of Hope's male influ- ence. And we love it! Hubba! Hubba! ! Michigan rates highest in num- ber of students with 229, 105 of which come from Holland alone. New York sends 46 women and 8 men. New Jersey 20 women, 8 men, and Illinois 20 women and 3 men. There are two coeds which claim India as sacred home ground and one fellow who gives the West Indies as his home. Iowa sends six corn-fed, 'rarin'- to-go' students, Indiana three, Pennsylvania divides the honors, sending one man and one young lady. Massachusetts and Washing- ton meet in the middle each state sending one girl for said pur- pose. Wisconsin completes roll call with ten candidates for Hope's degree. Class of '46 Elects Laughlin as Prexy The class of 1946 held its final elections in the college chapel on Wednesday, September 26. The former president, Al Staver, was replaced by Alice Laughlin. The new vice-president will be Jim Muddel, while Betty Fuller will act as secretary. Gerrit Levey will •hold the office of class treasurer. The seniors can justifiably look forward to a most successful year at Hope. (3) After 10:30 all fresh- men must be off the streets. (4) No Freshman, either male or fe- male, may date an upperclassman except on Sunday and special meeting nights. Variety Program Preceding the donning of the "green" a variety program will take place, giving each class an equal opportunity to display its talents. Al Rypstra will act as master of ceremonies for the affair and Bunny Goff will lead in col- lege and other songs, with Marion Ter Borg at the piano. Following the singing the "mighty" seniors will present their program which has been planned by Elsie Parsons. The next fifteen minutes of entertainment will be provided by the juniors under the leadership of Gertrude Vredeveld. At this point in the program Dr. Irwin J. Lubbers will give an in- "ormal talk. The sophomores will then be given their chance on the program; the director for the events is Louise Rove. The last number on the program, fitting to their lowly position, will be the Freshmen led by Arlene Wieten. Pots Bestowed First to be adorned with the inevitable green will be Peggy Prins, the freshman student coun- cil representative, and Dick Van Dorn, president of the senior class. Elaine Bielefeld, W.A.L. president, and Al Staver, student council president, will do the honors, name- ly, that of placing the pots on their heads. After each freshman has re- ceived his green, for the price of one greenback, light refreshments will be served. I Remember ... I stood on the steps of Van Vleck, quietly contemplating my first two years at Hope. It seemed but yesterday that a rather fright- ened, confused freshman had first entered these mystifying portals of knowledge. I remembered looking across Hope's campus and marvel- ing at its beauty; the gentle slope of the grove, the stately old trees and the chapel appearing dignified Continued on Page Two Soph Veteran Chosen As Class President A meeting to organize the Soph- omore class was held on Septem- ber 26 in the Chapel. Ruth Hoffman was acting chair- man. Nominations were opened ind short speeches on the presi- dential candidates were given. Joe Palmer was elected presi- dent of the class. The vice-presi- dent position, as elected by the class of 1948, will be held by Rob- ert Boelkins. Carol Jean Her- mance and Laura Johnson will take over their duties as Secretary and Treasurer respectively. Dean Hinga^o Serve As Council Advisor Dean of Men Milton Hinga will be advisor of the student council for the coming year. This was announced at the council's first meeting 6f the year by the presi- dent, Allan Staver. Plans were also made for the All-College tMixer to be held on October 5. Joyce Van Oss, Coun- cil vice-president, will be general chairman of the event. Other offi- cers serving this year are Betty VanLente, secretary, and Al Ryp- stra, treasurer. I

October 3 ,1948 •

Freshmen Don Green at All-College Mixer; Each Class To Give Program

Japanese students, former internees, enrolled at Hope this year.

Lef t to right, Ayaka Shintaku, Sumiye Konoshima.

If all of you hardened Eastern-

ers and Mid-Westerners are com-

plaining about this " M i c h i g a n

Weather," think of how it would

feel had you been brought up in

sunny California, where the only

rain is "Drizzl ing Coca Cola." That

is exact ly what Ayako Shintaku

and Sumiye Konoshima, our two

Japanese-American students, think,

for Ayako has never yet experi-

enced a snowfal l .

Ay a, who is s ixteen, was born

in California, attending the public

school through the eighth grade.

She was then sent with her par-

ents to the Pastom Internment

Camp in Arizona, where she at-

tended high school. She is now liv-

ing with the Rev. Marion DeVelder.

Majoring in languages , Aya f inds

that even being able to speak the

Japanese language does not help

her with her principal parts and

conjugations.

P e t i t e e ighteen-year-old Sumi

lived in an Internment Camp in

Wyoming with her parents until

1943 when the family moved to

New York City. She found the

"big town" quite d i f ferent from

the farm in California. She attend-

ed George Washington high school

in New York, but is still quite par-

tial to the California school, speak-

ing directly for the Chamber of Commerce, unquote.

Living six miles out of town

near Tunnel Park, Sumi f inds it

rather diff icult to get in to school.

She is taking a general course, is

interested in Sports, l ikes Music,

and plays the violin, or, a s she so

aptly put it, "plays at it ."

We hope Aya and Sumi come

to love Hope as we do.

The former president, Al Staver, was replaced by Alice Laughlin. The new vice-president will be Jim Muddel, while Betty Fuller will act as secretary. Gerrit Levey will •hold the office of class treasurer.

Variety Program

Preceding the donning of the

"green" a variety program will

take place, g iv ing each c lass an

equal opportunity to d isplay its

talents. Al Rypstra will act as

master of ceremonies for the a f f a i r

and Bunny Goff will lead in col-

Ter Borg at the piano.

F o l l o w i n g the s ing ing the

"mighty" seniors will present their

At this point in the program Dr.

Irwin J. Lubbers will g ive an in-"ormal talk.

The sophomores will then be given their chance on the program;

the director for the events is

Louise Rove. The last number on

Dorn, president of the senior class.

Elaine Bielefeld, W.A.L. president,

and Al Staver, student council president, will do the honors, name-

A f t e r each freshman has re-

ceived his green, for the price of

one greenback, l ight re freshments will be served.

I Remember . . . I stood on the steps of Van

Vleck, quietly contemplating my first two years at Hope. It seemed but yesterday that a rather fright-ened, confused freshman had first entered these mystifying portals of

knowledge. I remembered looking across Hope's campus and marvel-ing at its beauty; the gentle slope of the grove, the stately old trees and the chapel appearing dignified

Do We Want The World The Same? Always with the close of a war, the re is a loud cry by

many people to get back to "normalcy." It seems also t h a t

these people have never learned f r o m his tory the lesson t h a t

we can ' t go back to "normalcy" — t h a t we can ' t s tay in one

place — t h a t e i the r we mus t advance and progress , or t h a t

we must entirely d i s in tegra te . Vet, people still insist t h a t we must get "normalcy" m every phase of human life a f t e r

such a horrible, blood-spilling, nerve-breaking s laughte r — or

how else will the world ever become the same. And here we

may ask ano the r per t inent quest ion — do we want the world " the s a m e ? " Do we, here on Hope's campus, wan t t he life

about us to go on as be fo re? Two answers can be heard to

th is question, Yes and No. Yes — we want Hope to continue in its f ine academic r epu ta t i on ; Yes — we want Hope to

maintain the wonderful Chr i s t ian spir i t and to re ta in its

religious emphas i s ; Xas — we wan t to resume Hope's role in College Athle t ics ; Yes — we w a n t to be able to s h a r e in the

active social p rogram t h a t lias a lways been character ized by

fellowship and f u n .

Now for the negat ive answer — No — we want college life to "grow up" and take i ts r i g h t f u l place as a t ra in ing center fo r young men and women who mus t build the peace. War

lias done a t least one good th ing for college fo lk ; it has cor-

rected our a s t i gma t i sm of values and has t h u s enabled us to see eve ry th ing about us in i ts t r ue light — in shor t , it has

sharpened our s t anda rds of value. The t r ivia of life — col-lege life — at least appear as t r iv ia and the impor t an t th ings

in college life a re a s suming the i r r i gh t fu l proport ion. Col-lege life is at last realized as a legi t imate way to spend four-

years t r a in ing oneself f o r the f u t u r e — and not as a four -

year inter lude of theoret ical and impractically idealistic experiences a f t e r which the s tuden t must spend t ime ge t t ing

his feet on the ground. The facul t ies of most colleges about t he country — and th is includes Hope — have realized t h i s

and have introduced in the i r cur r icu lums courses of practical worth. They have changed the emphases and methods to

those of r ea l i sm; and have done as much as they were able to do to make the i r colleges and univers i t ies t ru ly t r a in ing

centers of tomorrow's peace builders.

However, a college is not composed of a facul ty alone —

a college is composed of a facul ty and a s tuden t body t h a t work toge ther toward the same goals. If th i s be t rue , wha t

must the s tuden t body of a college do as i t s pa r t toward growing up? If you will ask a re turned serviceman, weVre

sure you will receive the same answer we did. He will tell

you t h a t it isn ' t t he big t h ings t h a t need to be changed in a

school of Hope's caliber — b u t r a t h e r t he little, unnoticed things. For example he migh t give the f ac t t h a t a bit more"

respect f o r the facul ty member s expressed in such a way as saying " P r o f e s s o r " instead of " H e y ! P r o f ! " would in no

way destroy the wonderfu l f r i endsh ip t h a t we feel f o r our professors . Or he might sugges t , t h a t merely because we a re

in a co-educational campus — is no reason t h a t we should forge t common-sense rules of e t iquet te such as good table

manners , rules of cour tesy in regard to the weaker sex and our elders. He migh t f u r t h e r point out j u s t how much our "high-school ish" habi t s of exhibi t ionism in regard to both our loudness and " show-of f " act ions would actually r e t a rd

our g rowth . And one more t h i n g our ve teran migh t sugges t f o r he believes it very s t rongly , t h a t in any o the r occupation that young people of college age enter , they a r e expected both to dress and to act like "thinking adults." He hastens to explain that he doesn' t insist that a man or a young lady must wear this type of suit o r that type of dress as a "uni-form" rule but rather that they should take a more active personal pride in keeping themselves well-groomed at all t imes in clean, well-pressed clothes suitable for the occasion. Then he adds that if they take pride in their appearance they should also take pride in the appearance of their campus by making courtesy a by-word in their conduct on and about

campus.

One might ask our veteran if it is really important that we here at college grow up. He answers quickly but emphaticslly "Yes — f irs t of all it pays big dividends in the world in which we must live after college." Then as he gives his final reason his eyes become deadly serious — for he is recalling

This year should prove to be a

and yet some old, blanketing the

will be sponsored which will in-

clude Glee Club and Choir numbers as well as solos by our more tal-

which got o f f to a good s tart last

Mary Liz Aldrich and Gabby

Van Dis adorned Hope's campus

last week-end. It was good to see

and peaceful through a network of

branches, symbol iz ing all I had

expected and found here.

Happiness, that abstract ele-

ment, which comes and goes so

quickly, a lways moving never rest-

ing, seemed to have stopped here for a vacation.

I stood, remembering my first

convocation, how uncertain I was

until I entered the chapel and then

how at ease I felt in its peaceful

surroundings. I remembered sing-

ing in the Mess iah and loving the

majesty and power of Handel's

words.

I remembered our freshman ini-

tiation, Ronnie. looking like an an-

cient "god" blowing fire and brim-

stone at us from our open bedroom

door. I. remembered how scared we

were — how Mrs. Kay threatened

and the sophs dragged us away in

spite (or because) of it. I remem-

bered running away but being sent back again for more.

I remembered i l l e g a l w a f f l e

spreads, the ever watchful proc-

tors, and the juniors who attended.

I remembered leaving in June

and regret t ing it because so many

weren't coming back, but when I

did come back the next year 1 was

the places of the old.

I remembered how we lost the

frosh-soph g a m e s and the Nykerk

Cup but prof i ted more by the loss

than we would have by a victory,

because only a loss can really bind

a c lass together . I remembered how we won May D a y and rejoiced

far into the n e x t morning.

I remembered some of m y dif -

ferent c lasses . Our f reshman his-

tory and being told that if w e

never remembered another th ing

to remember "Beginning m half

done." Again as a sophomore be-

ing told that "Marriage is a 60-40

proposition." I remembered s i t t ing

and wri t ing poems (well , I tr ied)

in one of my c l a s s e s — s i l l y l ittle

th ings but it w a s fun.

I remembered those hateful f ire

drills, a lways practiced just a f t er

I'd fal len as leep.

4 remembered and reacted in my

mind the weekly occurrences —

spreads — terrible noises — foot-

s teps on the s ta irs — the immedi-

ate disappearance of 15 gir ls —

and the absolute s i lence! Who

caused all the noise no one ever

knew.

greet ing "the kids" at the door —

for the third t ime promising to

I remembered reg is ter ing and

being amazed at our petite dean's

hair all piled in front and center

— very becoming. I remembered

Dr. DeGraff t ry ing to demonstrate

how students sharpen pencils dur-

ing class by the "pick-pick" meth-

od. He's really quite adept at it

and why not, he has watched stu-

dents do it long enough — hint,

a lways sharpen your pencil before

entering the Dr.'s class.

I remembered eat ing with the

boys for the f i rs t t ime and watch-

ing that "football playing N e w

Jersian" dish out the food as

though he were an old hand at it.

I smiled as I remembered a certain

table at Beach Cottage which con-

tained a s ign reading "Rear Guard

of Meat Grinders" and several

small s igns direct ing the passage

of extra food to that table. Where

the s igns came from — no one

knew!

Standing there I remembered

J ^ o r o n t g ^ i ^ ^ l i ^ t a • Dorian

In spite of cold, rainy weather,

las t Fr iday the Dorians held their

annual fa l l houseparty out at Bu-

chanan Beach. Within a f e w min-

u t e s the f i re was roaring and an

enormous kett le of s tew was heat-i n g on the stove.

A f t e r the meal and a short busi-

ness meet ing some of the more

adventurous souls took a walk

down the beach through the misty

rain. But a f e w larger waves put

an end to that.

Some of the Dorians s tayed in

another co t tage for the night. Com-

fortably in bed,^ they prevailed

upon Louise Ter Ueek to read

aloud from Your Daddy Did Not

Die. With blankets piled high for

warmth and the roaring of the

lake for a sedative, they slept until

too late for many to get to work

on time Sa turday morning. But it

wag worth it, and now they're

looking forward to the houseparty

in the spring.

Sorosis

Nat Bosnian, Sorosis prexy, pre-

sided over the business meet ing .

A f t e r all of the business had re-

ceived due attention the meet ing

was adjourned in favor of the pro-

gram.

The program, patterned af ter a

dinner menu, was opened with de-

votions represent ing the Grace

before the meal by Joyce Sibley.

From there they proceeded on to

the re fresh ing Appetizer which

consisted of a quartet made up of

Mary Lou Hemmes , Betty DeVries,

Marj Lukking and Jinny Hemmes

who sang two numbers amidst

much g i g g l i n g from the audience

and from the ensemble itself . They

have very "unusual" musical tal-

ent. The Ser ious Paper coming

under the heading of Boiled Pota-toes was a very interest ing account

of Madeline Carroll's successful

work in France given by Glenna

Gore. The meat course, Baloney,

w a s served by Cal Hermance who

discoursed and poetized on food—

she loves it! The Dessert consisted

of the S igma S igma songs sung

by all.

Thesaurian

Music was in the air of the

Thesaurian room as the program

started. The old spirituals and

g a y melodies of Stephen Foster

were on the piano ready to be played. Angelyn Tuurling opened

the meet ing with devotions and

Majorie Van Vranken presented

the l i fe of Stephen Foster and

various summaries of his works.

At last the songs were played and

the group joined in the s ing ing of

"Old Black Joe," "There's No

Place Like Home," and "Swanee

River." The s ing ing was led by

Pres ident M a r i a n Mastenbrook.

Then the l ighter side was pre-

sented by Lucille Teninga. Her

select ion of "The Birth of the

Banjo" l e f t everyone in high spirits

•is the even ing closed.

Sibylline

In a se t t ing of sof t candlelight,

Arlene Eilander, Dorothy Huiz-

inga, Marge Karsis and Marion

Ter Borg took the solemn vows

Friday, September 28, at formal

initiation which made them full

f l edged members of S igma Iota

Beta. Fol lowing the ceremony,

Harriet Van Donkelaar, president,

welcomed the new girls to the

sorority.

Sue Leetsma had charge of the

program for the evening and

opened it with devotions. Edna

Mae Van Tatenhove accompanied

by Helen Wagner sang I Love You

by Grieg, and then in closing group

s inging was led by Helga Sawitsky

with Lois Van Wyk at the piano.

Business discussion followed the

program.

New of f icers , elected at the

house party, are Sue Leetsma, vice

•president, and Phyl Haskin, Stu-

dent Council representatives . Isla

Vander Heuvel is ANCHOR re-

porter.

Delphi

Clad in ragged jeans and sweat

ihirts , the Delphians turned out

t vast hoards to clean, paint, re-

>e\v or discard all of their furni-

ur?. With brushes and jars of

'nd smears of paint decorating the

vails, everything was under con-

trol. How do you get paint off

There was a short business

And The Ralhs Came And How

Page Three

And the rains came — and came

— and c a m e l ! I s a w a patch of

blue sky one day las t week and

mistook it for a bird. I can really

feel sorry for the people when the

flood hit way back in B.C. Several

t imes I thought all Voorhees need-

ed was an outboard motor and we

really could have toured Michigan

in nothing f lat . Loveman must

have been a beautiful dreamer to

be able to say, "It Isn't raining rain

lo me, it's raining daffodi l* ." I

can't seem to look at it that way.

Rain to me is a "drip go ing

steady," and last week they must

have been contemplat ing marriage.

I walked down town the other

day, had a coke in the Model, and

when I got back three inches of rain had fallen already. And me

without my waterwings ! My shoes

got that curved-gunboat look and

for a nickel I would have had oars

installed. Even the tongue in my

•hoe got out and started lapping

up water. I put shoe-trees in my

shoes when I got back to the dorm

md the next morning they had

grown branches. Real ly , I can't

understand how the ducks and the

'rogs can enjoy a solid downpour

so much. If all I need is a quack

ind a croak, I'm all for it.

About the third day of rain I

came into my room looking like

a refugee from a f ire hose and

snapped on the radio to pull m y -

self out of the liquid monotony—-it

didn't help. All I could ge t was

Frank Sinatra s ing ing—"The Wind

and the Rain in Your Hair." At

one t ime I loved t h a t . m a n . Hair

— don't mention that word. I

wouldn't mind but somehow I

wasn't blessed with the kind of

face and f igure that goes with a

Veronica Lake hair-do. Have I

tried the upsweep co i f feur when

it rains? Oh, yes, I have, but m y

hair doesn't starch very well . One

morning I looked out the window to

see what gave a long atmospheric

lines and my hair immediately-looked like a parkerhouse roll —

minus the baking soda.

Well you all know the way rain

falls. Especial l ly you ga l s who

spent hours putt ing your hair up

at 11:60 P. M. N o w you know the

way hair falls . But remember

Loveman —

It's nat raining rain to me

It's raining daf fy-d i l l s

The rain — it drives me da f fy

Summer Ends I can't face it tha t s u m m e r is

over. If it weren't f o r co l lege I

couldn't endure it. Hal f of me s a y s

it will be fun to wear m y new d r t s s

and shoes for convocation and the

orientation tea. B u t the real me cl ings to m y wel l -worn jeans rolled

to the knees and Bruce's discarded

shirts.

It g ives me a terrible alone fee l -

i n g — like an o r p h a n o r a l o s t sheep—to have to leave the c o t t a g e

and face a civilized world. Noth-ing can ever take the place of those

sunny af ternoons when we took the

Little S t a r out and drifted a long

the lake. I like i t best when I w a s

stretched out on my stomach on the bow — my cheek flat a g a i n s t the

deck. I could look over the side and see the tiny s i lver-white waves slap

the sides of the boat or I could

close my eyes and feel the motion

of the waves . And as a puff of wind blew my hair across m y face,

I could hear the jib r ie f ing and I'd roll over on m y back and pull it out

to catch the puff. I liked to look

up between the j ib and the main

sail at the clear blue sky and feel very content and peaceful .

And days when it was rough I

loved scampering from one side of

the boat to the other to keep it from turning over. And the week-

end when w e had the races the lake

was filled with other crescents and

with boats and yawls — that was

really l iving.

Another favori te w a s mornings

when the waves so f t ly breaking on

shore would wake me up early. I liked to put on my bathing suit and

run down to the lake for an early

swim before the beach w a s crowded

with resorters.

Days when the whole crowd got , together were fun too. We o f ten

had a fire on the beach and cooked

i our supper. When the ashes began

: to wither and the wood had fa l len

low, we sat with our f e e t before the fire s ing ing all our special favori te

! songs. And then we'd go to some-

! one's cot tage and play records and

look at pictures and laugh at how

we used to look.

And somet imes we played with

' our l ittle brothers and piled into I their old car that they had painted

bright blue with b ig c o l o r e d

dots. We'd drive into town to the

1 movies and have hot fudge sundaes afterwards.

Mom says I have to grow up and

she knows I'll jus t love col lege. I know I will, but I'll a lways keep a

1 sof t spot in my heart for the sum-

mer things. N e x t year I'll pull out

my old jeans and rig m y new boat

ind be overcome with ecs tasy of a new summer.

Is This Really Football . . .

Or Am I Dreaming Again? WOMEN'S SPORTS

By Ike

Gosh "Spike," I'm so thril led

. . . This is the f irst t ime I've ever

seen a football g a m e ! . . . Where'll

we s i t? . . . No, let's not go there

. . . that's the grandstand and I

want to sit . . . 1 know; let's sit

in the beauty parlor . . . you know

those seats without backs . . . the

beauty parlor . . . Yes, that 's it

. . . Well, how did 1 know it was

called the bleachers! . . . Here's

a good place . . . We can see every-

thing that happens on the lawn

. . . My goodness , look at those

loud people yel l ing and turning

cartwheels . . . 1 suppose that

they're c lowns hired for entertain-

ment . . . Come on "Spike," let's

throw them some money . . . Oh,

there's a band . . . and marching

right onto the field . . . I suppose they got lost from some parade or

something . . . Oh, here comes the

teams . . . Will you look at those

striped pants . . . I didn't know

that our team was playing a prison

team . . . convicts . . . Gee, I'm

scared . . . Supposing one got loose

. . . Well, will you look at that

. . . That one fe l low was p lay ing

with the ball, quietly minding his

own business, when that other fel-

low sneaked up on him and kicked

it r ight out of his hand . . . How

mean . . . Oh look at that man

. . . He must be their fa ther be-

cause when he blew his whist le

they all stopped and gave him the

ball . . . Oh look! . . . That one

player must have lost some money

and they're all helping him look

for it . . . Isn't that nice of t h e m ?

. . . My goodness , I'd ge t so dizzy

bending over like that, I never

would be able to run again . . .

Look at that big dope . . . Why

didn't he go on running? . . . . Yes,

but he could've crawled out from

that bunch of men and started go-

ing again . . . What's that whist le

for? . . . The end of the quarter?

. . . I suppose that means they've

stopped looking for that fe l low's money . . . Oh, look at that fe l low

running out there, why he's go ing

to sell them some water . . . Say,

1 wonder if I could run down there ;

a minute and sell them a ticket to [

the — Oh, he's just the water boy? j

. . . Hut they just spit it out . . .

I suppose that is so the grass will !

get real wet and the other team

will slip . . . Well, I've had enough

of this dirty playing "Spike," let's

go have a snappy g a m e of check-1 ers . . .

By now, with regis ter ing for

c lasses and all, you coeds have

probably found your minds, won-

dering jus t what Carnegie Gym-

nasium has to o f f e r this year.

W.A.A. held its f irst meet ing Wed-

nesday, September 2(5, outlined its

forthcoming program and named

its committees for various activi-

t ies .

Libby Romaine, senior and pres-

ident of W.A.A., has charge of

archery. Pinks Mulder, senior and

treasurer of W.A.A., is to take

care of tennis. Tournaments and

team play are scheduled for next

spring. Pat Haskin, the other

senior representative, will make

arrangements for s w i m m i n g at the

Y in Grand Rapids this winter.

Taking over baseball is E s Bo-

gart , junior and secretary of the

organization. Plans are under way

which will enable play yet this fall . Basketball plans are to be

drawn up by Glenna Gore, junior.

Viv Dykema, also a junior, will

schedule volleyball games.

Bowl ing will be even ir.ore fun

this year with the downstairs at

Levense's being made into al leys.

Marcella Westerman and Phyll is

Dietrich, sophomores, have charge

of arrangements for the sport.

Phyl l i s also is taking care of plans

for horseback riding. Alida Kloos-

terman, sophomore, is to manage hiking.

Ping-pong and badminton will

not be included in the major activ-

it ies unless enough gir ls are inter-

ested. One big item of interest

last year, the girls' football game,

will not be included in the sched-

ule this year because of the dan-

ger and accidents incurred last fall .

That's about all, honey chi les—

(yeh, I can't stand to be called

that e i ther ! )—but to my way of

thinking: that's plenty! The W.A.A.

board well deserve the picnic they

are having on October 11 a f t er putt ing out such a program. Any-

way—see you soon—and you'd bet-

ter be there—in the g y m or on the athletic field!

THE KIBITZER . . . . by Karstcn & Stoppcls

Well, well, here we are again, another school term

. . . And another super edition of the faithful old ANCHOR . . . Seeing as how this is the Sports page, we, of this department hereby dedicate our lives and pencils to said page and promise to report to all you sophisticated Seniors, jiving Juniors, syncopated Sopho-mores and strictly on the ball Froshies, the latest news and communiques from the local and national sports world . . . including news about the Tigers . . . and Cubs . . . Speaking of animals, there are quite a lot of different species of that animal called something spelled W-O-L-F . . . You girls know what we mean . . . There is one very interesting one called "Bob" who is on the loose after a certain blonde (aren't they always?) pre-med student . . . girl, of course . . . I suggest to you girls who are bothered with said animals that you take refuge in the ANCHOR office and we of the Sports page will take care of you . . . Grrr . . . Woof! . . . Well, all you fellas and girls that are taking gymnasium from Jack are through with your easy life on the campus . . . Yup, gym classes start next week for sure . . . We suggest either the Model or some other drug emporium for a good big jar, bottle, or tube of some kind of strong liniment . . . For further information, see anyone who took gym last semester . . . Also, Jack asked us to an-nounce that any of the fellows who are interested in the cross-country race should see him soon . . . If none of the fellows turn out . . . no cross country . . . Well, whatcha waiting for? . . . Go Now! . . . Dean Hinga was out last week with a bad cold . . . He wasn't really sick but he just couldn't talk . . . We missed you coach . . . Speaking of missing things, a pair of pliers was missed one day in Zwemer Hall by a fellow on the sec-ond floor and he went to see the fellow who borrowed it on the ground floor, who in turn found he didn't have it, but had lent it to a fellow on the first floor where the little culprit turned up . . . Just goes to show you that you should beware of pliers 'cause even pliers "get around" . . . Speaking of "getting around" brings us right back to that cross-country . . . Any of you strong-silents gone to see Jack yet, once again? . . . If it's a little incentive you need, maybe we could arrange to have one of those good looking Freshmen girls in their green bonnets, which, incidentally, we get at the mixer the f i f th of October, to run ahead of you and you could chase them over the course . . . or vice versa . . . man shortage you know . . . Speaking of shortages, we think of the shortage of Sophomore men . . . boys . . . and the pull this year . . . Maybe all for the better . . . We expect all the Soph boys out with pneumonia after that cold water . . . In case you didn't know, this was written by a couple of Freshmen . . . So gals, it's up to you and the Nykerk Cup whether or not we bow . . . hateful word . . . or not to these Sophs . . . Speaking of weather or not . . . (Joke, ha! ha!) . . . wasn't it a swell day for the "Y" beach party? . . . This really doesn't have much to do with spoi ls . . . does it? . . . Except for Don Ingham and some of the other "men's" beautiful form as an occasional football flew through the air, and an-other "sport" characteristic of the- seashore, nothing much happened along the sport line . . . unless you call eating a sport . . . and it is with certain people . . . A few of the more intelligent Freshmen went for a short ride on the waves and came back a little on the wet side but quite sane . . , After the skating party many students were seen rubbing bruised arms and legs, and walking lightly on heel or toe, the other end of which had an aching blister biting into the foot . . . Another communique from our good friend Jack . . . The honor-able Mr. Schouten has asked us to inform all fellows who have from four o'clock on, free, who would like to play touch football, softball or what have you, should come to the gym at four, and through one of these forms of athletics you can work off some of that extra energy you have lying around . . . Note to you former Holland High students, and to anyone interested in football . . . The Holland Dutchmen play Muskegon Heights Friday night at Riverview Park . . . The Heights beat the Dutch last season and the Holland team is out to win this time so it ought to, and will be, a swell game Well, gang, that's about all for now, more news in the next issue of the ANCHOR . . . Don't forget to get one!
