To the sacred memory of our Chief Musician,
WILFRED CURTIS S N O W ,
we, the Junior Class of nineteen hundred
thirty-six reverently dedicate this volume.
Snatched from the scene of this earthly tur-
moil in the midst of his years, his spirit lingers
on. His constant desire to exalt the noble and
the beautiful in life, uplifted and inspired many
a troubled heart, enduing it with new vigor
and greater courage. Truly can it be said of
him that "He knew his task and did it well."
WILFRED CURTIS SNOW
(1894 — 1935)
On old year's evening, December 31, 1935, at five o'clock there passed away at Simpson Memorial Institute at Ann Arbor, Professor W i l f r e d Curtis Snow, head of the organ department at Hope College. Though little hope had been held for his recovery, his death came as a distinct shock to faculty and students, and to townspeople. Mr. Snow, who was forty-one years of age at the -time of his death, is survived by his wife, Esther MacFarlane Snow, formerly of Sioux City, Iowa, and four children, Murray 13, Robert 11, and Jean and Janet 9.
Born in Norwich, Massachusetts, September 25, 1894, Mr. Snow was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Snow. At an early age he began to show his taste for music. W h e n only 15, he was given the position of assistant organist of Grace Episcopal Church in Lawrence, Massachusetts.
Mr. Snow's continued study of the best that his Boston teachers, Dudley Warne r Finch and Albert W . Snow, could give him resulted in his coming to the middle West where wider fields awaited him. For nine years he capably filled the position of organist and choirmaster in St. Thomas Church, Sioux City, Iowa. In 1922, he was appointed to be head of the music department at Morningside College, Sioux City, which position he retained till 1929.
Coming to Hope in the latter year to assume work as chapel organist and head of the organ department in the school of music, Mr. Snow immediately impressed faculty and students with his masterful handl ing of the beautiful new Skinner organ. He immedi-ately set to work to make chapel programs varied and interesting with special music. He organized the chapel choir, now numbering approximately 75 voices, to sing at the morning services. U p to the time of his death, he was its director and guiding influence.
On Mr. Snow's arrival there was only one chapel organ but the increasing number of organ students was the cause of his adding two more. Mr. Snow's organ recitals dur ing examination periods and at other times will always be remembered by the students as del ightful periods of relaxation. Two years ago, Mr. Snow took over the Hope band, and procured new uniforms. Thus was created Hope 's first marching band, with a constantly growing membership.
Aside f rom his college activities, Mr. Snow was also a civic leader in musical lines. Under his able directorship, the Holland Civic Chorus developed greatly. Mr. Snow was the originator of the plan which this year caused the Hope Chapel Choir and the Civic Chorus to combine to form the Choral Union of Holland. Last year at Christ-mas time, this chorus, numbering 180 voices, presented Handel ' s "Messiah" in the Memorial Chapel. As organist and choir director of Hope Church, Mr. Snow did much for that congregation in a musical way.
Mr. Snow's constant purpose was to bring before the students and the public the leading musicians in the country. Several times he presented Handel ' s "Messiah" and also Mendelssohn's "El i jah." Five years ago a Hope College Men's Glee Club made a tour of the East under Mr. Snow's direction. The tour included a visit to Washington and a personal interview with President Hoover.
Mr. Snow gave freely of his talents both to the college and to outside organizations. His untimely death was an irreparable loss to Hope and to the city of Holland.

JOHN B. NYKERK, A.B., A.M., Litt.D. Retiring Dean of Men
Fifty years at Hope College and Dr . John B. Nykerk steps down f rom his spiring pin-nacle of service to join the ranks of the re-tired.
His has been a long, active, creative, gener-ous career here at Hope, giving of his all — his time, his ability, and even his wealth for its progressive well-being. W e students of this modern era little realize his great con-tributions in the development of our college. His activities and interests have been many and varied. He it was who founded and organized the Hope department of music; became the first teacher in voice culture; and organized the original men's glee club. For thirty years he conducted a lyceum course, the proceeds of which went for various im-provements about the campus, chiefly for the purchase of new books for the library. As coach of oratory Dr. Nykerk has brought to Hope, since 1898, thirteen gold medals and more than a score of silver medals. In ap-preciation of this glory "brought H o m e " the student body of 1917 presented him with a loving cup. In 1930 he received the Fi Kappa Delta Key for national distinction in training orators and two years ago he was honored with a gold medal acknowledging his activities in the M.O.L.
Dr. Nykerk 's educational activities, other than those engaged in at Hope, include a year's teaching in both the public school and Northwestern Academy and one year and a summer's study at Oxford . His Litt.D. de-gree he received f rom Hope College.
The Doctor's plans for the future are not as yet definitely formulated, but he is certain he will remain active in some educational field. At the age of seventy-five he still loves teaching.
"My alma mater: I wish her well ," is Dr. Nykerk 's parting toast. And faculty and students, both old and new, return that toast, wishing ever the best for him, for the best is none too good.
MRS. WINIFRED H. DURFEE, A.B., A.M. Retiring Dean of Women
Mrs. W i n i f r e d H. Durfee , Dean of W o m e n , Hope College — few professors can boast of such a career as hers. Twenty-seven years of constant vigil over the lives and destinies of all the young girls coming to Hope ' s cam-pus — certainly a responsibility, but she has done her work well and is entitled to that hour of leisure granted to a chosen few. W e wish her "bon voyage" on her pleasure cruise and success in her literary ventures.
Mrs. Durfee ' s adventures in the educational realm have been many and diversified. Af te r graduat ing f r o m the Academy in her home town of Belleville, Jefferson County, N . Y., she attended Oberl in College until her Jun-ior year. Her first degree was obtained at the University of N e w York and her Master 's Certificate f rom the University of Wisconsin. Her summers she spent in fur ther research work at Harvard and Nor thwestern . She taught successively in Belleville Academy, Glen Falls Academy, Keuka College, N . Y., and Hedd ing College, Abingdon, Illinois, where she was the head of the English de-partment . From the latter school she came to Hope, where she immediately took up her duties as Dean of W o m e n .
As instructor here her first class was one in Sophomore English, which she shared with Dr . Nykerk. Later she also taught French and became head of this department in 1919. She has retained this position since. Her teaching scope has included Freshmen and Sophomore English, Shakespeare, Words -worth, Drama and all four years of French. Mrs. D u r f e e has become as much a part of Hope College as Voorhees Hall itself. She has grown with it, seen it expand and devel-op into the fine educational institution it is today and she may well be satisfied with the realization that she has had a great part in its building. Th rough all these years Mrs. Dur fee has held a warm place in the hearts of "her girls." Her gracious smile and fr iendly greeting will certainly be missed on Hope 's campus.

ADDISON There is more to college l ife than studies; we must also establish social contacts
which will help us to be at home in the world when we leave these halls of Hope. It
is in our Societies that we not only make fr iendships of lasting value, but also learn to
seek out and make our own the higher things in life. W e obtain a fuller knowledge
of the great men, poets, philosophers, artists, and musicians by prepar ing our papers and
hearing the papers that our fellows have prepared. W e are bound into a closer fellow-
ship through our common goal.
We , the students of Hope, are thankfu l for our Literary Societies; and we, who
are Addisons, are proud of our Society which has held high the banner of Fidelity, Cul-
ture, and Leadership." W e were organized in 1924, and since then have enjoyed our
place on Hope ' s campus. W i t h the rest of the student body we look forward to many
long years of life for our Alma Mater and her Literary Societies.

ALETHEA One more year of fr iendly fellowship in Alethea has proved again the ful l meaning
expressed in the colors of Rose and Blue, the symbols of Love and Truth . The ruby
torch has once more helped to light the way to a higher understanding and deeper appre-
ciation of the best in social, mental, and spiritual life.
Tradit ion claimed its usual place among the year's activities. At the annual Home-
coming banquet fourteen new pledges and many alumnae found a sincere welcome in
every hue of the Alethean rainbow. Then there was the sleigh ride on a crisp winter
eve; the Christmas breakfast at The Tulip ' ; and the bus ride through mountains of
snow to see Hope defeat Calvin at the Grand Rapids game. Spring brought an Easter
tea; a trip to an Alethean s home at Grand Haven ; and the Mothers ' Day meeting. This
program, next to the gala spring banquet, is perhaps the best remembered of the happen-
ings of a del ightful and eventful year.

COSMOPOLITAN T h e Cosmopoli tan fraternity has again written upon the ledger a record which
will leave an indelible impression upon fifty-five young men on Hope ' s campus. In
the true spirit of brotherhood it has strengthened the fel lowship of its own group and
has likewise helped many to find their places among the activities of the campus.
Cosmopolitan has been fa i th fu l to its watchwords of Friendship, Truth , and Prog-
ress. Its f r iendship has been extended on special occasions to both the Delphi and the
Fraternals with whom joint meetings have been held within the Cosmopolitan Halls.
Socially it has sent its invitations to the campus co-eds for a "Showboat Party" and a
Spring Banquet. Cosmopolitan this year again captured the inter-fraternity basketball
championship. Above all, the Fraternity has progressed. It has acquired a new, more
spacious, and more beautiful fraternity home. Furthermore, it has perfected plans for
the establishment of a permanent Alumni Association.

DELPHI Much noise and chatter—of such was the Delphi "welcoming" house party, gather-
ing its vacation-scattered members again into the fold and preparing to launch them on
their 1935-36 activities.
Delphians tea-ed, dined, and breakfasted with freshmen in anticipation of the great
day of "p ledging" .
January 1 5 saw the Delphi Society and guests sailing on a Wor ld Cruise which began
and ended at the W a r m Friend Tavern, with nary a miss of a single interesting port.
It was declared a "red letter n ight" when the Cosmopolitans and Delphians held
their joint meeting at the Cosmos home.
The past year has brought much activity and honor to Delphi and she is proud of
her members who have distinguished themselves in various fields of campus activity.
There is the Y.W.C.A. presidency and vice-presidency, the extempore speaker, the
Chapel Choir presidency, and Anchor and Milestone staff members.

DORIAN Into memory's storehouse has gone another year of Dorian fellowship, fel lowship
which has been broadening, l i f t ing, and inspiring, as well as enjoyable. Wi th the
lavender and gold ever before us, we have studied, worked, and planned together.
W h o can ever forget those busy days of rushing, the del ight fu l pledge party, and
the floats ? Many a sigh went into that piece of work which gave Dorian honorable men-
tion in the Homecoming parade, only to be forgot ten when alumnae, members, and
pledges met at the annual Alumnae Banquet.
Cold, snappy days, but Dorians t rudged their way to a Christmas tea. In January
Dorian and her guests sailed on a pleasant cruise to warmer climes, only to too soon
return to bleak reality.
Came Spring and Dorian redecorated, promising itself also new furnishings.
The Spring party proved to be a grand success.
W i t h another year past, our experiences have enlarged our outlook on life and
strengthened our bond of fel lowship into one more lasting.

EMERSONIAN Fraternity life to a new student is like the beacon light to a ship wandering hope-
lessly around in a heavy sea. A Fraternity is the one place where the new men can go
when they arrive on the campus, and receive the warmth and fr iendship that is so of ten
lacking in a new atmosphere.
The Emersonian society's ideals stand for the furtherance of this aim. The mem-
bers strive to make the new comers feel at home in their house, and try to help them
in any way possible to make their stay a pleasant one.
The very meaning of the Greek Letters which the Emersonian society has adopted
to signify its spirit is put into practice at every opportunity. Trying to make the mem-
bers and pledges of the Society realize this meaning is the ultimate aim of those who
wish to fur ther the Society in accordance with the rules of manhood and cosmopolitan
living.

FRATERNAL Fraternal believes, as did her founders more than a century ago, that the primary
aim of a college society is the development of a mankind which will make its members nobler citizens of the college, the nation, and the world. Fraternal 's principles, love, f r iendship, and truth, are not provincial, not continental, not planetary. They are uni-versal. They imply a broadening of the horizon of truth, a moulding of a universal f r iendship and love. Fraternal strives to fan the spark that is within every soul until there is the flame that assures a self-mastery, and a constant willingness to serve.
But Fraternal does not underestimate the advantages of the intimate contacts be-tween men of different environment and background with a diversity of interests, per-sonalities, habits, and ideas. To drop in at "the house", to feel the ready handshake of trusted fr iends, to engage in a candid, honest, unrestrained discussion which, whether serious or bantering, consequential or trivial, penetrates the thin rind of the superficial, to confide, to be intrusted the confidence of others — that is the stuff of which a liberal college l ife is made.

KNICKERBOCKER Unity of endeavor and common interest in the Social, Moral, and Intellectual tri-
angle beneath the Ruby and Black, makes it possible to have a society that is beneficial
both individually and collectively. Knickerbocker takes great pr ide in having some of
its men among the leaders in the various activities of the campus, but to Knicker-
bocker the true fr iendships formed, which last and remain with one through life, are
of much greater significance.
Dur ing the past year Knickerbocker has enjoyed several parties, informed open-
house nights, and several informal stags, all of which upl i f t and create feelings of fel-
lowship and good-will that have always been prevalent within the entire society. It can
truly be said, "Never was a happier, jollier set of men ."

SIBYLLINE Tucked away in Sibylline's Treasure Chest are many sweet memories of lasting
f r iendships and happy times. W e discover there also, ideals of love and loyalty, sin-
cerity and truth, and the aims as set forth in the creed — to keep the body strong, the
mind pure, the spirit right.
T h e seventeenth pearl has been added — another year of scholastic and literary
activity interspersed with f u n and fellowship. A m o n g the outstanding social activities,
we remember especially the evening of October 4, when ten new girls came to share
and to add to our treasures, the Alumnae Banquet, the Fall Party when we went "travel-
ing" , the traditional St. Patrick's Day stag, the Mothers ' Day tea, the Fathers' Day beach
party, and the Spring Frolic.
Sibyllines are agreed that not only have the treasures of the past been preserved,
but the year 1935-1936 has enriched her treasure chest.

SOROSIS N o sooner had the Sorosites invaded that "dear old town of Holland, Michigan,"
than they were whisked out to a cottage "by an inland sea." And what a happy reunion resulted!
October 4th . . . new members . . . excitement rampant . . . a slumber party.
Prosperity peeped around the corner and in on the Sorosites and their guests at the
Tavern January 8th.
The Praters entertained their Sorosite sisters with a very graphic description of their
Spring baseball practice.
A successful Spring Banquet on June 5th.
Sigma Sigma will lose several of her active members through graduations, but the
bonds of f r iendship will be ever strong. Those who remain will strive to uphold the
ideals of Sigma Sigma that have been built up through thirty years.

STUDENT COUNCIL Under the leadership of the first woman president in its history, the Student Coun-
cil again supervised a number of college functions during the year. Among these were
the annual Freshman reception, in the early part of the year; the Freshman trial ; the
Frosh-Soph fights for the Dimnent t rophy; the Frosh-Soph girls contest for the Nykerk
cup ; the Homecoming activities; and the All-College Banquet. Also included in the
activities were the punishments meted out to disobedient Freshmen and several pep
meetings. Get acquainted week was sponsored by the Council in conjunction with the
Anchor. One man and one woman representative f rom each of the four classes com-
pose the personnel of the group.
The Student Council president is elected by the entire student body, while the class
representatives are elected by the various classes. The male representatives f rom the
senior and sophomore classes automatically become vice president and treasurer respec-
tively, while the junior co-ed becomes secretary.
A beach party concluded the year's activities.

BLUE KEY Hope is the only small College in the State of Michigan to boast a chapter of
Blue Key. The organization is composed of Senior men who are outstanding in scholar-
ship or some phase of campus activity. Meetings are held once a month, at which time
an opportunity is given for discussion of campus problems. Blue Key during the past
year was the donor of a large memorial picture of Professor Curtis Snow which was
presented at a chapel service. The Book-Store was again set up to enable students to
secure used textbooks more easily. The organization for the second consecutive year
published the Student Guide. This year's banquet was held at the Pantlind Hotel,
Grand Rapids.
T h e most recent project undertaken by the Fraternity is the curbing of rushing by
the men's societies. This plan will go into effect next year. Plans are also being made to
present a set of books to the library.
Blue Key's outstanding feature is, perhaps, the fact that at the monthly dinners,
students and faculty meet on common ground, and thus a better understanding is cre-
ated between the two groups.

Y.M.C.A. CABINET Pounded in 1879, the Hope College Chapter of the Young Men's Christian Asso-
ciation continues to hold a unique place in the life of Hope College men. The meet-
ings, held on Tuesday nights, are open to all male students on the campus, and of ten
prove a source of inspiration to those who attend. Under the capable leadership of
John Piet and eleven assistants, the " Y " experienced another successful year. Activities
sponsored by the Cabinet this year in conjunction with the women's Cabinet include the
bringing to Hope of Dr. Massee as Prayer Week speaker, as also several other speakers;
the annual Freshman reception to make new students feel at home ; and the All-College
Party, which was in the form of a winter sports festival. Gospel teams were again sent
out to neighboring churches. Special music at the Tuesday morning chapel services was
instituted this year and met with the immediate approval of the students. This year
again the entire proceeds f rom the candy sales conducted on the campus went toward mission work.
The cabinet, with an enthusiastic set of leaders, is looking forward to next year.
Professor Hinkamp, college pastor, is adviser to the group.

Y.W.C.A. CABINET Under the leadership of President Vera Damstra, the Y.W.C.A. closes another
successful year. Wor thwhi l e programs have been presented throughout the year. The
organization still remains true to the original purpose of its founders to "come apart
and rest awhile ," to meet in quiet fel lowship for an hour every Tuesday night. Much
benefit is reported by the girls f rom these meetings.
Dur ing the year the girls ' cabinet has worked with the men's g roup to br ing to
Hope worthwhile speakers, and has helped in put t ing on several college social functions,
including the reception of new students dur ing Orientation Week, the All-College Get-
Together, and the Win te r Sports Frolic. G i f t boxes were again packed by the girls
and sent to Kentucky.
A start toward girls ' athletics was made at H o p e when the Y .W.C.A. decided to
sponsor a Girls ' Basketball League, open to all the college girls. This will very likely
eventually lead to a full athletic program for Hope girls. Wi th all these accomplish-
ments the Y .W.C.A. feels that the year has been worth while.

ANCHOR Pact, foresight, and real drive on the part of this year's Anchor editor, Calvin Van-
der W e r f , have turned the college paper into what the critics claim to be the most journal-
istic sheet ever issued by a Hope College staff. Initiation of the six-page journal, of the
style sheet" for would-be-efficient reporters (compiled by the editor h imse l f ) , of a
new system for election of editors, which consists of electing an assistant editor who
will automatically fill the editor's position the fol lowing year, and of the presentation
of Anchor Keys to a few outstanding staff members each year, as well as the complete
revision of the advertising and business setup, are the outstanding accomplishments of
the 1935-36 staff. Aside f rom these major improvements have come a conscious effort
for more original style in every inch of copy, the running of a greater number of timely,
interesting pictures and cartoons of college interest, the broadening of campus scope by
use of a very open "Letters to the Editor" co lumn; elimination of the less conservative
"banne r " ; and encouragement to fresher and more lively editorials. Affiliation of the
Anchor with a national journalistic fraternity is under consideration.
The faculty committee on publications, consisting of Miss Ross, chairman, and Pro-
fessors De Graaf , McLean, and Shackson, maintained a lively interest in the activities of
the staff, and the congenial relations existing between the groups was noteworthy.

PI KAPPA DELTA Pi Kappa Delta is one of the three national honorary fraternities of the country.
Although organized last, it is now first in membership.
The purpose of this organization is to stimulate progress in, and to promote the
interests of, intercollegiate oratory, debate, and public speaking. A key of distinction,
proficiency, and honor, varied and graduated according to merit and achievement, is con-
ferred upon deserving candidates.
Michigan Gamma chapter of Pi Kappa Delta, located at Hope, again experienced
a busy year. Its 1935-36 program of speech activities was ushered in by a fall outing.
At this annual retreat plans were formulated for the forensic year. The completion of
these plans saw Michigan Gamma sponsoring extemporaneous speech, debate, oratory
and a high school debate tournament.
T h e activities of the forensic year were officially terminated by the annual spring
banquet which was held dur ing the Tul ip Festival. O n this occasion the neophytes, in
the presence of alumni members and guests of Michigan Gamma, were initiated into the
order of Pi Kappa Delta. Dr. Nykerk, who has been speech instructor and coach of
oratory at Hope for many years, was guest of honor.

MEN'S AND WOMEN'S DEBATE Debat ing became a truly major campus activity on the Hope campus dur ing the
1935-36 season. Men 's debating, under direction of Dr. Shackson, carried out the prin-ciple that the values of debate participation should be given to as many as possible; ten complete teams were, accordingly, kept in action throughout a season which included no less than seventy-seven intercollegiate debates, besides inter-team debates before luncheon clubs and church groups. All ten teams entered the debate tournament at Albion in February; four teams were scheduled; and eight teams represented Hope in the first "octuple" debate ever scheduled when on January 25, H o p e met simultaneously the eight first teams f r o m four invited colleges in three rounds of debate, the final round being heard and judged by the various societies on the campus. T h e brilliant season was con-cluded by a radio debate over station W J J D with John Marshall School of Law of Chicago.
Increased enthusiasm has been shown in W o m e n ' s debat ing dur ing the past sea-son. Four teams, coached by Professor Clarence De Graaf , were actively engaged in intercollegiate debating. Throughout the season twenty-five non-decision and several decision debates were held with other colleges. T h e season was brought to a successful close at the state debate tournament which was held at Western State Teachers' College, February 22. The first affirmative and first negative teams each won one of the two tournament debates entered, thus tying for first place with four other colleges.
T h e question debated was the same as that debated by the men: resolved, that Congress shall be empowered to override by a two-thirds vote, decisions of the Supreme Court declaring acts of Congress unconstitutional.

ORATORY Hope College orators dur ing the year participated in three state oratorical contests.
Each orator was selected through local elimination contests in which a number of other
college students took part. Angelyn Van Lente represented Hope in the women's divi-
sion and John M. Vander Meulen in the men's division of the Michigan Intercollegiate
Speech League competition. Allen B. Cook represented the college in the Michigan
State Peace Conference Contest of the Intercollegiate Peace Association.
In the state finals in which six colleges were represented, Miss Van Lente showed
marked ability in delivering her oration " T o the Victors." In her speech she attacked
the spoils system and revealed many appall ing facts. She asked for the abolition of
party favoritism and the introduction of civil service reform in order that the state might
be kept "from sinking into the unfathomable pit of degeneracy."
"Pillars of Self-Desire" was the title of Mr. Vander Meulen's oration in which he
presented a vivid and graphic argument against selfishness. H e concluded his speech
with the effective lines: " N o house can stand, no kingdom can endure, based on the
crumbling rocks of self-desire." Mr. Vander Meulen qualified in the eliminations and
participated in the final contest.
Eleven institutions participated in the peace contest, which was the largest contest
ever held in the history of the State of Michigan. Mr. Cook's unique oration, "Meet
Your Enemy," pointed out that "Altruism must replace selfishness and tolerance be sub-
stituted for dogmatism" if an endurable peace is to be accomplished. Mr. Cook sur-
vived the preliminary contests and participated in the finals. He was complimented by
competent critics.
The success of these orators is due largely to the excellent coaching of "The Grand
Old Man of Oratory," Dr . J. B. Nykerk, and to the sincere efforts of Miss Metta Ross,
who have been largely responsible for Hope 's excellent records along the lines of ora-
tory. Both have given unstintingly of their time and talents that Hope 's orators might
be the best in their respective classes, or on a par with the best.

EXTEMPORE FORENSICS Extempore Forensics, al though still in the experimental stages at Hope College,
received dur ing the past year renewed vigor and unprecedented support . At the elimina-
tion contest, speakers chosen to represent Hope in the Extempore Division of the
M.I.S.L. Contest, held at East Lansing in November , were Ruth Fisher and Harry Boer.
Al though neither representative received honorable recognition, participation in the
contest has served to heighten interest in Extempore Forensics.
BAND Though it received a severe blow because of Director Snow's passing, the organiza-
tion nevertheless was able to render the music for several athletic contests and college
functions. George Douma, as student director, had charge of the band the latter part
of the season.

Hope ' s 1935 football seaeson was only an average one. Though it had plenty of beef and a brawny line nevertheless this year's squad definitely lacked an effective run-n ing attack. It was a team, however, that impressed one as having some good games under its belt, as evidenced on several occasions.
The first scheduled game resulted in a one point victory over Ferris. T h e follow-ing week the powerfu l Alma team, 1935 M.I .A.A. champions, turned on the heat in the first five minutes of the game to score all of its points. The Dutchmen came out on the short end of the score in games with both Kalamazoo and Wayne university. At Grand Rapids, however, the passing attack clicked and the Hingamen won a decisive t r iumph over Junior College. In the Homecoming contest it was the mighty Hillsdale gr idders who fell by the wayside. Albion was pushed all over the field and outplayed in all departments of the game, but could not be scored on. The season was brought to a close by a tie game played with the highly rated Michigan Normal team.
Fred Jappinga was honored by being selected as a member of the al l-M.I.A.A. team at the close of the season. George Heeringa was selected as honorary captain of the team. Besides Heeringa there were eight other Seniors who played their last game for their Alma Mater : Tysse, Vander Velde, Kooiman, Buteyn, Leestma, Mahan, De Weerd and Gross.

BASKETBALL Although not considered as a contender for the M.I .A.A. crown at the beginning
of the season, Hope 's court squad quickly won the recognition of sports writers by win-ning four out of five pre-season games. The team justified expectations by tr imming the 1935 champions, Hillsdale, on their home floor in the first game of the regular season.
The Dutchmen featured a fast-breaking type of game which made every contest a fight to the end. It was only slight moments of inconsistence—one or two off-nights when the boys failed to find the hoop—that cost Hope the championship. Nevertheless the team ranked third at the close of the season, only one game behind Olivet and Albion who tied for first. The season's record shows thirteen games won and five lost.
T w o bright spots in the record were the victories over Hope 's traditional rival, Cal-vin. The Hingamen eeked out a 21-20 win at Grand Rapids and then walloped the Knights 39-28 on the home floor.
Several outstanding players composed the Hope squad. Thomas, a sophomore, played forward and was the high scorer of the team, garnering 178 points. Heeringa suffered a bad knee at the opening of the season but came back with such drive that he was placed on the All-M.I .A.A. team. Poppink was acting captain and his generalship was largely responsible for the team's showing. Vander Velde was Poppink's under-study, while Robberts and Van Zanden bolstered the guard positions. Barber and Nien-huis substituted at the forwards. Wi th an exceptional f reshman squad Hope looks to another good team next year.

TRACK AND BASEBALL Track is rapidly becoming an important sport on Hope ' s campus. N o t contented
with the second place that was won in the field meet last year, this year's squad was out to bring home the championship. T h e relative strength of the speedsters this year was evidenced in the recent indoor meet at Hillsdale. W i t h only a few weeks of preparation the team placed second, only a few points behind the favorite Kalamazoo.
Douma, M.I .A.A. 440-yard champ, captained this year's team. Besides him there were several good men around whom to build a championship team. De Pree ran the half mile, Tel lman the 440 dash, while Robberts, Martin and Quist took care of the 100 and 220 sprints. Buys promised to put the shot a few feet far ther than last year and Nor thouse was right behind him in that event. Little McGilvra expected to go way up into the air in the pole vault, and Tysse heaved the discus. Others were expected to develop before the end of the season who would add strength to the formidable group already mentioned.
Af te r several years of non-existence, a baseball team was again organized this year under the guidance of Coach Schouten. Five games were played, four with Western State Teachers frosh, and one with Michigan State. Though f inding it difficult to break into the win column, nevertheless the team gave a good account of itself. Bob Vanden-berg, a r ighthander, and Joe Borgman, a portsider, shared pitching duties. Both have had experience in pi tching for local teams, and both were considered equal to any college pitchers in Michigan. Ragged support by the inexperienced Dutch nine was the cause of most of the losses.
T h e 1936 team was composed almost wholly of f reshmen, all of whom are expected back next year. W i t h these as a nucleus. Coach Schouten expects to place a strong nine in the field in the 1937 season.

TENNIS • GOLF
Competit ion on this year's tennis squad was extremely close. The team was bol-
stered by the return of John I.eland, a star of two years previous. Despite his return,
however, the season was only an average one.

were greatly aided by the addition of Hopkins and Van Dusen, sophomores. Although
competition was keen, the team made a good record for the year.

PAGEANT OF 1936 Pageants were introduced at Hope College by Dr . John B. Nykerk, who, while a
s tudent at Oxfo rd , witnessed the presentation of the revived Elizabethan pageants. Full
of enthusiasm, he returned to Hope determined to give it the benefit of his experiences.
The Pageant of 1916, commemorat ing Hope ' s sesqui-centennial was the result. Since
that time a pageant has been presented every ten years. A successful pageant was again
produced in 1926. Proceeds f r o m these pageants have gone toward worthwhile campus
causes. T h e beaut i ful rose window in the Memorial Chapel was bought with pageant
money. Other improvements have been made f r o m time to time on the campus with the
money obtained f r o m pageant presentations.
Hope ' s third decennial pagent, presented this year at Riverview Park May 16, 18
and 19, commemorated Michigan's centennial as a State, the nintieth anniversary of the
city of Hol land , and the seventieth anniversary of H o p e College. The Pageant cast
included some 400 characters, all in costume. T h e various scenes portrayed the history
of the Dutch, including their persecution by the Duke of Alva in the Nether lands, their
coming to America several hundred years later, their struggles in the new land, the
found ing of Hope College, the Dutch in the Civil W a r , through the present day Tul ip
T ime festivities. George Douma, president of the Senior Class which sponsored the
pageant, was Pageant Master ; Florence Vis wrote the words of the Pageant, and Stanley
Albers of Grand Rapids, of the Class of 1926, was director. These people were assisted
by committees composed of seniors and lower-classmen. Music was furnished by the
Orga t ron , a type of electrical organ, and a large augmented choir.

SUMMARY OF PAGEANT OF 1936 . . . With deep respect and reverent pride shall we
Portray for you the history of this place
Far, far down the avenues of history we direct our gaze, seeing some scenes that are blurred by their unimportance — others still sharply distinct as though painted yester-day. To comprehend the spirit of the Dutch one must first catch a glimpse of them in their own country dur ing the terrible days of the Spanish Inquisition — days of terror and tyranny. W e hear the death-bell tolling, tolling, tolling hourly in every village . . . The register of each city, village, and hamlet showed lists of men who were daily sent to the scaffold, without a trial . . . Though oppression weighed heavily upon them, the spirit of the Dutch would not be bowed down by the yoke. Trials served to strengthen . . . T h e love of liberty burst forth in quivering sparks against the strong hand of tyranny . . . The sparks became a steady glow — the Dutch, the staunch cham-pions of liberty!
Many, many years later the liberty which they had fought so hard to secure was again infr inged u p o n ; they were not allowed to worship God in their own way. Albertus Van Raalte, a man small in stature, but ever a man of action, was their leader. The people looked to him for guidance — his was the responsibility and the care. But what could be do? The soldiers> were always lurking about. They surrounded the meeting-places, dispersed the services, fined the worshippers and arrested their leaders. The Dutch knew that there was ho way open for them except voluntary exile to a land which was far away across the sea. The way was long, the sea uncharted, but ever did the Spirit of the Dutch lead them on — leading them on to brave unknown paths, leading them on to establish homes in the wilderness.
And so it came to pass that Dr . Van Raalte and his little band sailed for America in 1846 to settle on the virgin soil of a new world. They set their eyes westward; God led them to the shores of the Great Lake, Mashiganing, to a place where the Indian still danced to the ryhthmic beat of the tom-tom.

To the land of stately pine trees, Mirrored in the r ippl ing waters, Leaving scenes of happy childhood And the land they loved so dearly, Came a band of stalwart whitemen. Forty-seven was their number, Forty-seven fearless people. H o p i n g here to hew the forests. Here to make the homes they longed for . Here to worship in the quiet Of the forest unmolested ; Here to found a school of learning, Here to train the children growing. This their purpose was in coming T o the land ruled by the red man. Smoked the pipe with their red brothers. And homes made they amid the forests.
The first days in the new land were strenuous ones, for the settlers must clear the land, fell the trees and erect homes. They were determined to make a success of their venture, and so they tackled each task with astounding vigor. N o r in all their difficul-ties did they forget that Sunday was the day of rest. In the majestic solemnity of the woods, with the dew still heavy on the green grass, the settlers gathered together for religious services, sitting on stumps, seats of rude lumber, or the pungent earth itself.
In the dark days of despair and grief the cross was ever illuminated before them. " H o p e thou in G o d , " was their beacon which advancing before them showed clearly the way they must go. " H o p e thou in G o d " was the cornerstone of the colony. Beneath the cross of Jesus they had taken their stand. As Jesus carried His cross, so must they carry theirs — even to the point of leaving their homeland for the wilderness that they might freely worship Him.
The first winter was an extremely severe one for the colonists. There was not enough food — the heavy rains had ruined their crops. Disease — fever, malaria, and dysentery attacked the people. Dr . Van Raalte went f rom cabin to cabin with his medi-cine bag, a t tempting to aid the sick and cheer the disheartened.

The Dutch pioneers persevered; they en-dured the hardships. Ever mindfu l of the need of education for their children, they strove to found a school as soon as possible. Just four years af ter the first settlers reached Holland the Academy was founded. This school was in-corporated as a college in 1866. Dr. Van Raalte appended these words to the first report of the Academy sent to the Synod: "This is my Anchor of Hope for this people in the fu-ture." Thus the new college was called Hope College and the anchor became its symbol.
Ten years after the found ing of the Acad-emy, the country was plunged into the midst of the great Civil War . The Hollanders answered the call to arms. For centuries the passionate love of liberty had burned in the hearts of the Dutch people. As their forefathers had revolt-ed against the Duke of Alva, so now the Michigan Dutch fought to reclaim liberty for the down-trodden negro. Wi th splendid loyalty, the Dutch answered their country's call; they laid down their lives so that the ideal of free-dom might become a reality.
Perhaps the greatest catastrophe which over-came Holland was the great fire of 1871. A tiny flame was fanned into a blazing terror that
swept through the streets. T h e city was reduced to ashes. But more than buildings were lost on that eventful day; treasured keepsakes and indispensable home necessities were burned to nothingness. But the people did not long remain discouraged. A new and greater Hol land was built on the ruins of the old. Dr . Van Raalte was always near, encouraging the people and under his inspired leadership the city was soon rebuilt.
Today the visitor is refreshed to come upon the quaint little town of Hol land, with its green lawns and newly painted homes. His eye is drawn to a tower thrusting its spire upward into the blue — the tower of the Hope Memorial Chapel. T h e calm poise of its modified Gothic architecture, the beauty of its stained glass windows, the majestic power of the mighty organ and clear, deep notes of its chimes — combine to make the chapel an endur ing symbol of the faith expressed in the motto, "Spera in D e o " — " H o p e Thou in God . " Here gather the students every morn ing for a few moments of meditation before they begin the tasks of the day, thus remaining true to the beloved traditions of their forefathers.
T h e city of Holland has become a mecca for tourists through its famous Tul ip Time. For a week in the middle of May the people resort again to the customs and cos-tumes of the Nether land Dutch. The inhabitants throng the streets clad in old-country dress; Dutch dancers pe r fo rm in the market place; and above all the tulips give the streets an atmosphere of festivity. All these have combined to make Tul ip Time in Hol-land the third festival in importance in the nation.
The great annals of the world 's history pour forth a galaxy in swift review as we see the great Dutch philosophers, navigators, scientists, painters, inventors, musicians, and authors pass before our eyes. But the glory of the Dutch is not in the past a lone; the past has fashioned the present ; the present lays the foundat ion for the future. W h a t does the fu ture hold in store? W h a t will the annals of history send for th in years to come? W e look to the future — t h e Spirit of the Dutch lives on!
