HOPE SLEIGHRIDES ALMA TO TUNE OF 30 - 25 SOHODTEN MEN TAKE ALMA

FOR FIRST M. I. A, A. WIN Hope Team Leads Campbell

Crew Throughout the Whole Tilt

It was a fa r different Hope Col-lege team which played at Alma last Friday evening than the Hope five which lost to Hillsdale a few nights previous, as the Orange and Blue tossers took a 30-25 victory from the Campbell-coached outfit on the Alma floor after leading the entire way. After a poor start in the M. I. A. A. race, the Hope courtsters showed that they were not out of the running but can be considered a threat to any team desiring: the crown.

The Schoutenmen made one of the most rushing starts ever seen at Alma and controlled the ball for the first twelve minutes without leting their opponents have the ball. During this period the Hope-ites piled up a fine lead, which they continued to hold for the remainder of the setto.

De Pree led the Hope scoring with three field baskets and three fouls, Martin and Cook also^ figur-ing with two deuces and a foul apiece. Gussin was the big noise for Alma as he scored fifteen of his team's points on six baskets and three foul shots. Coach Schou-ten used all ten of the men who made the trip and all of them re-sponded with some fine play.

Totals 9 1 25 - Hope's chances in the race de-pend largely upon the result of their game with Albion, which is to be played at Carnegie gym on Fri-day evening. With a large crowd of the students out, Hope has an even break with the visitors and a close and fast game will result. Al-bion has beaten Alma and Hillsdale and will come here with the intent of licking the Hope crew, but with Hope primed for victory the Metho-dists will be given all the basket-ball that they want.

Y. W. C. A. Meet ' with Prof. Hager

"The Balanced Life" and "The Great Moderator" were the sub-jects of one of the most unique meetings of the Y. W. C. A. on Jan-uary 14. Professor Hager, our col-lege pastor, directed the meeting into the form of a general discus-sion. The qualities that are present in the unbalanced life as well as those which are lacking were listed on the blackboard and became the basis of the topic for the evening. The song service was led by Ber-nice Mollema.

me. Austral Thrills Many from College

Last Wednesday, under the aus-pices of the Grand Rapids Philhar-monic Society, Madame Austral, dramatic s o p r a n o , and John Amadio, flautist, appeared in con-cert at the Grand Rapids Armory.

Through the instrumentality of Miss Martha Barkema, about ilfty tickets were obtained at moderate rates and were distributed among Hope students. Those whose cars permitted them to arrive in Grand Rapids were given one of the rare treats that come so seldom in the life of the small college.

The announcement was made last Sunday morning in the Bethany Reformed Church of Chicago of the acceptance of their call by Profes-sor Harry Hager of Hope College.

It is with the deepest regret that the Student Body hears that their well-beloved Prof. Hager feels that duty calls him to another sphere of influence. The three years that Pro-fessor Hager has been with us has served to instil in us a deep re-spect for the man and the work he has been trying to do.

The Church to which Professor Hager goes has recently erected a new $150,000 building. It includes in its membership 350 families, which makes it the largest Re-formed church in Chicago. Under the existing arrangements Profes-sor Hager will not leave us until June. While in his charge in Chi-cago, Rev. Hager will continue the work of several summer sessions at the University of Chicago.

Frosh Sweat at Gym Work

One! Two! Three! Four! This count can now be heard throughout the gym as Jack Schouten, physical director, marshals his Frosh gym classes through their programme of marching, calisthenics, and games.

The girls' classes, of which there are two, meet on Monday and Fri-day, while the two sections allotted to the boys meet on Monday, Tues-day, Wednesday, and Thursday, each class meeting twice a week. The sections average twenty-five to a period. They are under the in-struction of Senior students, receiv-ing their practice teaching, who are directly under the supervision of Mr. Schouten. There are also two sections devoted to make-up work, and two sections for the high school students. Many humorous in-cidents occur as many have had no physical education at all and lack the co-ordination necessary.

A TRIBUTE — O r -

T H E recurrance thru many writings of two Greek words

indicates that even in early times the people realized that

in this world nothing is at rest; there is, and always must

be# eternal flux and change. The old order must ever give way to the new.

But, it seems only just and fair that the new shall ack-

nowledge the debt it owes to the old for making their coming possible.

So it is that in this our first issue, we pause lor a mo-

ment to pay tr ibute to an editor an editor who in the face of

many difficulties; the handicap of sex, the handicap of an ex-

cessive amount of other work, and the handicap of too-kind a

nature in dealing wi th an often-erring staff: an editor who

took over an Anchor after another had published a few issues:

an editor who took over a Anchor just recovering from a se-

vere attack of the "yellow fever", and its accompanying close

faculty scrutiny: an editor who in the face of all these things

has been able to hand over to us a healthy paper, one with a

high standard of excellence for us to equal, and if possible, to surpass.

So it is that we pause to pay our respects to a business

manager who has given us an Anchor with a stable financial

system behind it . A n d so it is that we pause to pay tribute

to the staff of the 1928 Anchor , forthC great work they have

done, and for the efforts they have expened, and thru whose

work alone it has been possible for the executives to do the high quality work which they did.

"THE FIRST YEAR" CLOSES THIRTIETH LYCEUM COURSE

B1LKERT SHOT BY ISLAM FANATICS

As we go to press the word has come to us of the shooting Monday of Rev. Henry A. Bilkert, claso of 1914. Rev. Bilkert was an R. C. A. missionary in Iraq, and at the time of his death was en-route to Kuwait, in Arabia. The entourage was attacked by the fanatical Mo-hammedan tribe of Ikhwan, but only Rev. Bilkert was hit. An in-vestigation is being instituted.

Drama Class Play Feb. 12-13

This year the drama class, under the direction of Mrs. Durfee, will present as their public perform-ance "The Amateur Detective," on February 12 and 13. The title role is played by Myra Ten Cate and the male lead by Bernard DePree. Th% ."iurres of. comic effect are brought out by the French maid. Celeste, played by Wilhelmina Wal-voord, and Susan, Mrs. Delavan's maid, played by Ann Heyboer. Susan is of the crepe-hanging type of humanity, doting on funerals, and very fittingly marries an un-dertaker. The villain, portrayed by Maurice Marcus, has a hectic time making love to three young ladies at once and is finally, as he puts it, "double-crossed" himself.

Other members of the cast of this very clever comedy are Verna Brower, Janet Yonkers, Gladys Huizenga, Marion Katte, Grace Duhrkipf, Ruth Van Alsburg, Ray-mond Steketee and Alfred Bentall.

Glee Club Makes Money

The latest thing in Voorhees is hot chocolate and sandwiches at 9:30. The members of the impov-erished Glee Club have turned their culinary ability to practical use, and fifteen cents is all that is nec-essary to purchase the feed. Eat-ing your breakfast before going to bed has become quite the fad among Dorm girls. The newest Scotch joke is the one about the two girls that ate three slices of bread for dinner on the night the Glee Club girls made their on-slaught. Word has been received that some fellows also have pur-chased viands and report that the girls can cook as well as sing.

"MEANING NO OFFENCE"

—O—

IF you look in a mirror and see reflected back a Utopian

image, perhaps you 11 be flattered—depending of course on the

k ind of person you are; if you sec a distorted image, you have

good reason to object and protest; but if you see yourself as

you really are, there should be- no cause for alarm, unlets

there is at the time some immediate danger, which we take

for granted should be remedied anyway. After the fashion of

a mirror we hope to construct our Anchor , not concave nor

convex, but one that will reflect as t ru thfu l a picture of life

on our campus, as lived bye and large, by each one of you.

Your paper is essentially a Student Publication. It be-

longs to you, it is at your service and when it ceases to fulfill

this function, you have every right to wi thdraw your support.

It is the general opinion around the Campus that the trouble

with the Anchor in the past has been, that it was a picture

of a Utopian Society, which was a fantasy to say the least, and in all good intent never existed.

W e are behind every College activity. W h e n in Athlet-

ics, Oratory, Debating, elcM we win, we shall accept it as a re-

ward for being the better, and when we lose we shall refuse

to qnibble, provided that we were not beaten by an inferior

team, when our representatives gave their best in their parti-

cular field of endeavor. We intend to praise where we think •

praise is due, and we intend to condemn, when we think con-

demnation will fur ther the principles upon and for which our institution was established.

If you are looking for something spectacular and dazzling

dur ing our regime, you have disappointments in storr, but if

you are looking for the t ru th we hope it will be reflected in

the pages of your Anchor . Your paper will be published by

and for the best intererts of Hope College, its Students, its

Faculty, and H a n s Christ ian Anderson will not be a contri-butor.

Jan. 25 — Hope-Albion Game here

Smiles, grins, and chuckles were drawn successively from an appre-ciative audience that filled Carnegie gymnasium at the presentation Fri-day night of "The First Year," the final number on the season's lyceum course. From the first scene, in which bashful Tommie Tucker won Grace Livingston as his bride, to the final curtain, when the young husband and wife were reconciled, the play held the closest interest because of its humor, pathos, and true reflection of life.

The plot centered about an event-ful evening in the life of Tommie and Grace Tucker during their first y ear of married life. A dinner guest was found to be the man upon whom their financial fortune de-pended through his decision whether to buy property in which Tommie had invested his last cent. As the deal was about to go through, the transaction was upset by the intervention of a former suitor of Grace, resulting in a quar-rel between Tommie and his wife and their separation. The young husband finally did push the sale across to his decided profit, only to realize the futility of attempted happiness without Grace. How the two were reunited through the kind hearted scheming of her uncle was the theme ot the rest of the play.

This production was interesting not only because of the entertain-ing plot, but also because of the lifelike characters presented. Mr. Livingston, who was slightly deaf at just the wrong times, the bach-elor uncle who philosophized about marriage, and the realistic hus-band-and-wife quarrels of Tommie nition. Hattie, the substitute maid who "washed better" than she served at table, was a source of amusement, while the rejected suitor and the negotiator for Tommie's land added an element of suspense. Mrs. Livingston was a tactful mother, who contrasted strongly with her impatient hus-band.

'The First \ e a r " closed one of the most successful lyceum course seasons, and according to Dr. Ny-kerk's announcement an equally satisfying one may be expected next fall.

Maurice Works And Dinner Waits

"And if I don't get home in time for dinner, you will be to blame," stormed the m i g h t y Maurice Marcus as he tested his might on a heavy clothesline Thursday noon. He pulled and tugged and tugged and pulled, yet he could not over-come. An increasing crowd gath-ered to see the performance.

He directed more than one nasty look at Mar. Meengs. The crowd laughed and giggled, while Maurice toiled on, and he finally won. The ropes fell to the floor. Maurice slipped on his rubbers and left.

Moral: Always untie knots; don't pull them tighter.

WESTERN STUDENTS LEARN THE. PIANO IN FETB E. J. BliEKKlNK TEK LESSONS

* o | • •

E N J O Y I N G W O R K 4 'Are you busy as a college s tudent?" Such is the foolish

question asked in t h e October "Forensic". But it also goes on to say, "You will be busier as a college professor or in

any other profession, if you make good, to an equal degiee . My word, what shall we do? Can it be tha t our teachers,

tha t doctors, lawyers, business men, or, in fact , anyone can possibly be more busy than we are? Work seems inevitable. Good marks, good positions, "raises", wealth, honored and envied position, success and power are all bought by work. The more popular, the more honored, the more beloved a per-son is, the more work is required of him. Nobody likes a lazy person; everyone admires and likes the one who is

always cheerfully "ready to help."

Yes, we might as well decide tha t life is mostly work, and

"gri t our tee th" and make the best of it. Some say tha t work can even be enjoyed. Perhaps t ha t is the best way to look at it. Anyway we all know tha t the nicer the th ing is tha t we wish to buy the more we usually have to pay fo r it. The "cash" in many cases seems to be work. Why not enjoy the "cash" even though it may not buy anything very g rea t?

Just a Word from. Ye Editors We, the underslung, in order to

make this column more universally local and more locally universal ex-tend this our formal invitation to all students of Hope College and the rest of you, to cdntrtyute to either of the Humor Editors, such jokes as you desire to be published in this, our weekly blabber.

Moreover, should such circum-stances arise, we invite you to criti-cize or advise us as to how we may better this column.

WOMEN'S MISSION BOARD

WILL MARK ANNIVERSARY

F A L S E B U S Y N E S S

Once upon a t ime there was a little boy named Johnny

who considered himself a very busy man. One day when i t seemed to Johnny t h a t he was the busiest boy in town, the re came pouring down upon him f rom murky skies a deluge of books, term papers and outlines, and glaring, empty, blue-books. The deluge struck Johnny so unprepared t h a t before he knew it, he was buried head and foot in a g rea t pile of such things so deeply t h a t all was very dark and gloomy and he couldn't see his way out. But finally, a f t e r kicking and squirming and sweating for several weeks, he finally shook the burden from his shoulders, very tired and worn out, and with more or less damage to the themes and blue-books.

Several months passed and Johnny once more saw hints of murky skies. But experience had made him a wiser and bet ter little boy, so when the deluge came th is time, he saw tha t it did not bury him as before, but climbing to the very top, cheerfully and calmly sat down and enthusiastically though carefully sorted out and eliminated the themes and blue-books one by one. Before he knew i t he was a t the bot-tom of the pile, and happy to again be free, ran joyously out

doors to play. The moral of the story is, "Sit on the top of the pile."

Go thou and do likewise.

P R E M I E R

I t is usual, a t the beginning of each new term, fo r the editor to declare a certain policy which he and his staff will

pursue throughout their term of office.

A t the present t ime there is no definitely formulated pol-

icy : only a tacit understanding among the staff members tha t they shall produce as readable, as inclusive, and as accurate

an ANCHOR as is humanly possible.

You, gentle reader, and perhaps voter, have given the editor a staff with no lack of ability. If then, we do not pro-duce as good an ANCHOR as you expect, it will not be fo r lack of talent in the staff, but only a lack of effort.

The time will come, as it mus t always come in insti tutions good and bad, when you will criticise the ANCHOR. Do not hesitate to do so. I t is YOUR ANCHOR, and no one has more right to criticise it than you. But let your crit icisms come directly. Do not tell your neighbor in class; or your best fr iend, but tell us. Your fr iend, or your neighbor cannot correct the evil: we may be able to do so. The editor is held responsible by the faculty fo r everything tha t goes into an ANCHOR, and if they wish to make any complaints, ihey come directly to him. Let it be so with you. If a false sense of modesty or a natural re t i r ing keeps you f rom mentioning these things directly, there is always the ANCHOR box in

Van Raalte Hall. Make use of i t !

The woman's board of foreign missions in tha Reformed Church in America will celebrate its fifty-fourth anniversary next Monday. It was organized in 1876 as an au-xiliary to the board of foreign mis-sions and in 1892 obtained its char-ter from the state of New York.

Its membership consists of GO women from all parts of the church, a majority from the vicin-ity of New York city, where all its business sessions are held. The officers are: President. Mrs. De-Witt Kn:x; corresponding secre-tary, Mrs. Eliza P. Cobb; treasur-er, Miss Anna F. Bacon.

The function of the board is to send out single women missionaries to maintain the work for women and children in the foreign field, and to foster the foreign mission-ary interest of these organizations in the home churches.

We are informed in one of the

recent newspapers of Grand Rap-ids that Miss Helen R. Zander, of the Class of '28, has been appointed coach in basketball at Sturfpes Sem-inary, Japan. Miss Zander sailed for the Orient August 16, and upon her arrival there took the place of Miss Florence Walvoord, a grad-uate of '18, who is home on fur-lough. As a member of the faculty of Sturges Seminary, Miss Zander has taken hold of her work with enthusiasm, and at present is teaching English and History be-sides continuing her language

study.

Rev. George Sterninger, alumnus of '10, conducted one of the chapel

Clarence Vander Kalk, '28, re-cently graduated from the Western State Normal School at Kalamazoo and is now instructor in Mathe-matics and Physics in the Allegan High School. An increase in en-rollment made the mid-tern addi-tion necessary.

t "DUST PAN" ALIAS CAMPUS

I'irst of all, we hope you have made a New Year's resolution to read this column.

Secondly, we appeal to all loyal Hopeites for aid. Hereafter when-ever you see something interesting, don't overlook it. If you know something interesting don't keep the information to yourself. Don't be selfish, tell us about it. Don't

cons ign these choice bits to the waste basket, give them to the Dust Pan instead. We call it the Dust Pan because we intend to use those bits of news that do not have the possibilities of a regular article and that are too good to throw away. So when some interesting piece of news comes your way, please sweep it up into the Dust Pan rather than throw it into the waste basket. We're Scotch and we hate to see good news wasted.

Thirdly we wish to thank those who edited this Column last year for their "best wishes and fervent condolences." Now to begin:

Last Sunday evening the Voor-hees inmates were honored by the presence of eight Fraters at sup-per. We don't just exactly under-stand the reason for this, but such popularity must be deserved. Any-way it's always interesting to have guests at supper.

We're glad to see that some of the fellows still possess hats. The cold weather last week caused many a worthy, shivering collegian to delve into the fa r corners of his closet, or into the depths of his trunk for long discarded headgear. Which only goes to prove that it's the weather that regulates our * lives. Now that going hatless is the accepted thing to do, it will soon become collegiate to cover the head once more. We crave some-thing different, you know.

HOPE BOWS BEFORE FAST HILLSDALE QUIHTET

CONTEST WAS CLOSE

EXPERIENCED HOPE TEAM FAILS TO COPE WITH

VISITORS' SKILL

Fine Form in Frosh Tossers

The Orange and Blue tossers were turned back in their first M.I.A.A. struggle when the basket-ball team from Hillsdale College invaded the Carnegie gymnasium on Tuesday, January 15, and eked out a 29-26 victory. Hillsdale took the more experienced Hope five by surprise and led most of the way through some fine basketball and good shooting. It was not until late in the final period that the Schou-tenmen realized their superiority over the visitors, but a determined rally staged in the closing minutes of play fell just three points short of tying.

This is how the trick was turned against the boys. Hillsdale started things before the game was a min-ute old on a half-court shot, but De Pree retaliated with one of his own making that was equally as good. Vander Hill sank on through the meshes to give Hope an advantage but Restifo caged two field goals in quick succession to put the Hills-dale team in front. At the quarter the score stood 12-8 against the Hopeites, and as each team dropped in a deuce and Hope got a foul in the second period, Hillsdale main-tained the advantage.

Hilledale gradually drew away from the Hope fellows and held a comfortable margin as the game was nearing its close. Without a warning the Hope volcano began an eruption, Van Lente, De Velder, Martin and De Pree dropping in baskets that put Hope only one point behind the invaders. Both teams began a fast and furious bat-tle with the result that the Hills-dale team collected another basket and the game.

Hope basketeers were not right up to their highest form, but Mar-tin, De Pree and Van Lente played commendable ball. Howe and Al-linder were two sweet ball players for the winners and meant a great deal to the Hillsdale team in the

win. The Frosh played a snappy game

in the preliminary to beat the Sen-iors by a 27-17 count. Tite Van Haitsma was rather hot on the loop for the yearlings and accounted for six field goals. The Frosh have now won three straight games and will be a threat to any of the green-clads in the M.I.A.A.

Coach John L. (Jack) Schouten apparently has a yearling crop slightly better than the average. Headed by Joe Harms, the Archer flash, the squad appears pregnant with speed, an all important factor in the court game. Among the can-didates for forwards besides Harms are Dalman, a letter man from Holland High; Van Haitsma, from Zeeland; Ter Vree and Hoffman, from Holland High. "Waddy" Spoelstra, also a pupil of Hinga, looks best at center a t the present time. For guard positions. Coach Schouten has the redoubtable Tom Beaver; Bouma, a Zeeland High product; Cupery, of Cedar Grove, Fox, Damstra and Bossenbroek.

The team, as yet, has played but two games, eking out victories over the Senior and Sophomore class teams in closely contested games. The team at those times showed rare flashes of speed which, having been developed by Coach Schouten, should prove the necessary impetus to carry it over to victory.

An incomplete schedule follows: Feb. 6 Hope at Kazoo College. Feb. 15 Kazoo College at Hope. Feb. 19 Hope at Albion. Feb. 22 Calvin at Hope. Feb. 27 Olivet at Hope. Mar. 8 Calvin at Grand Rapids.

We see by the papers tha t A1 Smith is being considered fo r the position of chairman of the board

Did you notice the cute little cookie-duster that adorned the upper lip of one of the Hillsdale boys? Rumor says that some of the girls actually fell for it. Prob-ably there are those in our midst who will favor the girls in making the sight of such an ornament an every day feature among the stu-dent body as well as among the fac-ulty.

As this goes to the press the standings of the class league reach Us. It appears that the Juniors and the Frosh are the only undefeated teams. The eyes of the sport world will be centered on Holland when these two teams get together to make history.
