Homecoming To Bring

Traditional Events Soon Homecoming is .pnce again on

Hope's Calendar of Events. Octo-

ber 27 has been selected as the

tentative date. Before the war

depleted the ranks of our men

students, Homecoming was the

highlight of the school year. De-

termined to continue all campus

activities WAL is arranging a cel-

ebration for this year that will in-

clude every feature heretofore

known to such homecoming cele-

brations. There will be just one

variation, however, there will be

no men participating.

A touch football game in which the upperclass girls will be pitted against the lower class girls will be played in the afternoon. Water girls, managers, a female an-nouncer, and even the water bucket will be in evidence. Peanuts and candy will be sold during the game

by the A.D.D. girls. The Queen of the Campus, Mary

Elizabeth Aldrich, with her court will honor her subjects by attend-ing the game.

In the evening a buffet supper

will be served in Carnegie Gym. A

program given by members of the

Musical Arts Club and Palette and

Masque is being arranged.

The Emersonian House, the new girls' dormitory, will have O p e n House a f te r the supper.

Announcements concerning the tryouts for the program and the game will be made soon.

Committee Needs

Serviceboard Data The Hope Service Board will

again be continued this year under

the supervision .of the YM and

YWCA on the campus. The serv-

ice board, located in Graves Hall,

lists the name and address of each

Hope man and woman in the serv-

ice of the Armed Forces, the num-

ber of which is over three hundred.

The Anchor works with the Y

organization by sending the col-

lege publication to each serviceman both in camps in the States and overseas. The servicemen appreci-ate this connection with the col-lege and have made their appreci-ation known many times over.

In order for this service to con-tinue, we ask the cooperation of students and of parents of the servicemen in seeing that the ad-dresses are correct at all times. We therefore ask that you bring or send the new addresses to the college office. Servicemen, too, are requested to send their new ad-dresses to the college office as they change from time to time.

Record Number Attend Faculty Reception

Approximately 200 students came out in record number to the annual faculty-student reception, held in the basement of the Hope Memorial Chapel on Wednesday night, September 27.

Dr. Wynand Wichers gave a few words of welcome before everyone gathered around the piano for group singing, with Mrs. Snow accompanying.

Alcor Kotfee Kletz Will Be Open Today

In Hope's early days Holland

church women held a "Koffee

Kletz" regularly in order to mend

the clothes of the boys attending

Hope. Relaxation rather than

clothes-mending, however, is the

purpose of the new "Koffee Kletz,"

Alcor's snackbar scheduled to open

today.

The "Koffee Kletz" features a

coke-machine, coffee, donuts, rolls,

and candy. It is located in the

basement of Van Raalte hall in

the room under Dr. Raymond's

room. It will be open every school-

day morning.

Pale blue and canary-yellow

painted tables supplement the bar

and carry out the Dutch theme.

There are drapes and potted plants

at the windows, and Alcor hopes to

acquire a nickelodeon later. The

snackbar is Alcor's special project

for the year and will raise money

to be used for the college. The

society will not be selling candy

in the dormitories as it did in pre-

vious years.

Members of Alcor are Edna Mae

Richards, president; Connie Craw-

ford, vice president; Irene Lun-

die, Secretary-treasurer; Eleanor

Everse, Marie Jenkins, Elaine Scholten, Peggy Cross, Rosanna Atkins, Milly Scholten, Myra Kleis, and Mary Liz Aldrich.

any other equipment needed by the

Phys. Ed. department. This year,

h o w e v e r , will be donated to

Women's Athletic Association.

Plans Being Made

for New Dormitory Tentative plans are now being

made for the new dormitory. The first blueprints have been drawn up, but nothing is definite as yet. Mr. Thebaud of Grand Rapids, who designed the science building, is the architect. The dorm will be on 12th St., just east of Van Raalte, and the practice field will be moved toward Columbia Ave.

The dorm will be a quadrangle with a formal garden in the center. The Hin«ng room, kitchen, and large game room will be located on the first floor. The second floor is the main floor that will have the housemother's quarters, guest rooms, and social room. The social room will seat 250 people, and there will be a stage at one end. In addition to the large social room, the^e will be several smaller reception'rooms. A general office where the phones will be located and where the mail will be sorted is also planned for the second floor. The third floor will have a large study room for all of the girls. There will be a kitchenette on both the second and third floors for everyone's use.

Goal Set at $1165, Jeep to Have College Name Plate On, Pledges to Be Made

Hope College Bond Drive started today in order to help our nation

in what we hope is to be the final "Big Drive." The goal of our drive

is $1,165.00 which will be used to purchase a jeep. The War Finance

Division will furnish the jeep with a name plate "Hope College" as

evidence of her origin.

" Y " News "Y" PLANS FULL YEAR

The outlook of YWCA and

YMCA is bright. Plans are being

made for Prayer Week in the

spring the Mission Drive, skating

parties during the year, fireside

discussion forums in various homes

of the faculty, letter-writing meet-

ings and chapel tours to be con-

ducted soon. The Y-Fore will also be published throughout the year. Above all, the purpose of the Y will be kept in mind—Make Christ King of Our Campus!

Y.W. HEARS MAATMAN

A record breaking number of girls attended the first regular Y.W. meeting last Tuesday eve-ning. The enthusiasm that was shown was very encouraging. Har-riet Maatman, Y.W.C.A. president, discussed the topic, "And the Greatest of These Is Love." Mary Ellen Brower, freshman, accompa-nied by Marian Ter Borg, sang "One Sweetly Solumn Thought" and "O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go."

Hinkamp Speaks

The Y.M. meeting was held on the same evening. In the absence of the president, Wesley Dykstra, the meeting was opened by Wilbur Brandli, who also led devotions. Prof. Hinkamp spoke on "Dan-iel." He emphasized the point that today we are apt to worship three gods — a god of liquor, a god of nicotine, and a god of A's. Daniel never bowed down to the idol gods of his day. Can we be a Daniel? The meeting adjourned with the singing of hymns.

If Y is worth your dollar it 's worth your presence.

Sororities Entertain Frosh at Round Robin Tea

A "jeep poster" will be placed in Van Raalte Hall where the "body" will be colored according to the amount of bonds and stamps sold.

Spike Sawitsky, chairman of the WAL Bond Drive, urges everyone to keep up the pledges which were made on the pledge cards in chapel this morning.

Stamps and bonds may be pur-chased at the newly decorated Bond Booth any Wednesday or Friday morning.

Campus Bonfire

The Women's Activities League Is offering as its next project an afternoon of leaf-raking for all. In a few weeks the campus is to be reconverted. A shortage of labor-ers prevented the college authori-ties from having the leaves raked this fall. Our undaunted spirit is again asserting itself, however, since W.A.L. has decided that the leaves must be raked. To accom-plish this every student and mem-ber of the faculty will be draf ted to clean the campus. On a date, determined by the fall of the last leaf, everyone will rake all the leaves into a pile on the athletic field. A bonfire will then be built and everyone that has worked will be served hot dogs and coffee.

o

Increase Is Noted In Enrollment

Dr. Wichers has announced that the enrollment this year shows marked increase. The Senior Class is the smallest with 52 members, the Juniors follow with 60 mem-bers, and the Sophomores rank with 65 members. The Freshman class is unusually large this year with 115 new students.

The sharp increase necessitated the opening of the Emersonian House as another girls ' dormitory. There are 32 girls living a t the Emmy House, 38 a t Van Vleck, and 80 a t Voorhees Hall, totaling 150 campus girls.

There are 30 new fellows and approximately 10 live on campus at Zwemer Hall.

The annual Round Robin Tea

held Saturday, September 23, at

2:00 was, as always, a great suc-

cess. All the sororities were decked

in holiday at t ire and put all their

energy into really giving the new girls a good time. Each program was varied and gay and the five groups spent a short period in each room. Here are some of the things the girls saw.

Sorosis

Sorosis took the frosh "south of the border down Mexico way" where they witnessed a broadcast from the "Carramba Club." Presi-dent Millie Scholten welcomed the guests and then turned the "Feste-jo" over to the Master of Cere-monies, Ruth Joldersma, who was proceeded by an advertisement for Mexican jumping beans sung by Mary Liz Aldrich, Rozanna Atkins and Jan Bogart.

The leading lady of Mexico a la Elsie Parsons, gave forth with a few helpful hints on beauty t reat-ment the Mexican way. Senor Nat Bosman (the Voice AH Mexico Loves) rendered the song, "Marie Elena," a t the conclusion of which she collected a handful of pennies thrown at her by her adoring audi-ence.

The next big thing featured was the Bilkert twins as Coco and Bango doing a Mexican dance (with apologies to Mexican danc-ers) . The broadcast ended with Nat 's sober announcement, "That is all, keep smiling."

President - Millie Scholten then

introduced the Sorosites and alum-

nae to the guests who in turn in-

troduced themselves. Then followed

the Sorosis song and a general get-acquainted process. Before the girls left each was given a cactus pin cushion to remind them of sunny Mexico and the "Carramba Club."

Dorian

The Dorian Music Box took i t upon itself to prove the t ruth in the words "Music ha th , charm." The first at tempt was the "Prel-ude" in the form of the thrilling strains of "Gypsy Love Song" and 'My Hero" sung by our own Frieda Grote.

No music box would be complete unless It turned to a lighter vein. Bunny Goff characterized humor with her inimitable style.

"This world is so full of a num-ber of things, I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings." Perhaps the composer had these words of Robert Louis Stevenson in mind when he wrote "There Are Such Things." Out of the Dorian Music Box came the voices of E l a i n e Scholten, Thelma Oonk and Evelyn Shiffner singing the ever lovely melody.

Since the words lend added beauty to music, it was appropriate that in a music box we should find beautiful thoughts expressed by Polly Naas.

The cover of the Music Box slowly closed with the prevailing melody, the Dorian Song, sung by each member of Kappa Beta Phi.

Sibylline

Dear Bill:

Today was the Round Robin tea

at college and I want to write and tell you what a major part you unconsciously played in Sib's pro-gram.

Do you recall that "Remember" letter you wrote me (probably weeks ago but it certainly arrived here a t an opportune t ime) . Any-way, we thought if it could only portray to the girls a little of the feeling all you boys have fo r Hope, it was the least we could do. Your description of that interesting per-fume shop in France and what the different perfumes reminded you of — Holland's Sundays, the four-mile, those wonderful formals, just walks on the campus in the rain and otherwise — was jus t perfect to build our theme around. We read your letter aloud while sister Sibs floated by dressed as in my imagination I pictured those won-derful times we both remember so well, and which you made so real again in your letter. For favors we made small sachets; I wanted to uie that Tailspin you sent me to make them smell ex t ra nice but I couldn't bring myself to use that much.

That tea was such a nice way to get to know the new girls better and knowing them as well as we do already I'm sure you boys won't be disappointed with the Hope you come back to. It's not that we don't miss you, but we're not sit-ting back and marking time either.

Thanks from all the Sibs and

especially me for such a wonderful letter.

Love, JULIE.

Delphi

Glad you decided to drop in for a breather at the Delta Phi Crack-er-Barrel Club, before put t ing the finishing touches on your shopping tour. But before we begin the show, we'll give you time to catch your breath and put a nickel in the juke box. Will Mike Brouwer singing "The Sweetheart of Delta Phi" be okay?

We are especially glad you're here today because the Club is put-ting on its annual fashion show.

And here is our own Lucille Vos, "Silly dress, silly gal, sweater and skirt, and she's my pal." You can jump into this zooty twosome whiz quick.

Mary Lois DeFouw, modeling a stunning aqua and black slate dress is sure to put a detour i n any young man's fancy.

Now, off for a merry fling at tennis, as Pinks Mulder dons shorts in that delicious sherbet shade. Classy chasy on tha t lassy.

• Time out fo r a short root beer as several of our shoppers, Jeanne Timmerman and Jane Fichtner, dispossess themselves of their many bundles fo r a bit of "catty chatty." Strictly "S.S.Q." these new girls, what?

And now for something "Sweet and Lovely" with the Delphi trio, Myra Brouwer, Connie Crawford,

Editor's Note: Wo Gehen Sie?

All of us at times submit to the popular temptation to disdain the

truly educated — the wholly educated, while we apply ourselves with

only doubtful interest and zeal to the task before us. We wonder at

the inspired individual who loves and lives each integral part of learn-

ing. We, however, slide effortlessly to the fu ture finality of hopeless

dissatisfaction. You must not admit the fact that you do study an

appreciable amount because D.A.R.'s are repudiated by the student

body.

It seems to be traditional for college students to envelop themselves

in a denseness of pretty pink illusions about the purpose of college

training.

For too many, the ultimate of college is to acquire a minimum of

majors or minors, the completion of required courses, or the aggrega-

tion of 126 credit hours, accumulated like green stamps to trade in for

another diploma. The greatest asset for having spent four years? —

a tide over for a year or two between inflicted college training and

something more permanent.

! would not advocate sacrificing all pleasure for scholastic drudgery,

nor yet propose Knowlege For KnowledKe's Sake, the ideal of philo-

sophically minded educators. Education for what then? — for personal

satisfaction and advancement? — Yes, but so much more than t h a t —

Education For Life — learninR for living. As a Liberal Arts College,

Hope is more than prepared to fit you with the means, you must create

the end. Expect not the confined obvious from education, but the lim-

itless impossible. Work toward that , for education of the whole is

man's most priceless equipment for an intelligent, enjoyable, useful life.

The ANCHOR editor and staff

would like to call to your attention

and special consideration the for-

mation of an orchestra on the

campus.

For years Hope College had an

orchestra when the enrollment was

no more than it is now. We, as a

college, have always had an envi-

able reputation for musical promi-

nence and we could very well em-

bellish such achievements by the

reorganization of an orchestra.

If you own an instrument, if

you play an instrument, or if you

have once played an instrument

won't you make yourself known

and respond in full enthusiasm?

Now is the time to organize an

orchestra on Hope's campus.

Local Rtd Cross

Tolls of Gorman

Prison Camp Life The local Red Cross has made

available to us an edition of the

"Kregie Times." "Kregie" is an

abbreviation of the German word

"kr iegsgefangenen," meaning war

prisoner. The "Times" is a paper

printed in Stalag Luf t III Sagan ,

Germany, a camp for British and

American prisoners of war.

The "Times" is presented to

American POW's weekly, and con-

tains all the general news that

reaches the camps via mail. One

typewriter plus 1,000 reporters is

the equipment for printing.

The following is an excerpt writ-

ten by Deimar T. Spivey, Colonel,

U S A A F :

In the hope that our people at

home may have a small insight

into our prison life, we dedicate

this issue of our camp newspaper,

designed for home consumption.

We hope you receive it and by so

doing come into closer contact with

us and our daily lives.

It is extremely difficult fo r us

to keep abreast of your doings and

with the trend of the times because

of our complete isolation imposed

by censorship, separation from all

other than German news, and

barbed wire and alert guards.

We strive to set up a model

community designed to keep our

bodies, minds, and souls healthy

and alert , await ing the day we can

return to our own homes within

our own land.

We think of you and thank all

of you for your wonderful g i f t s to

us — from individuals, and from

the Red Cross, YMCA, and other

charitable institutions — and above

all, for your letters and prayers.

Those who detain us have not

treated us badly, and have given

us many small concessions which

have made our incarceration light-

er. The spirit of the Geneva con-

vention has been carried out and

our t reatment , in general, has been

good. For this consideration we

are gra teful and know, that in re-

turn, the treatment of German

prisoners at home is considerate.

We have our moments of lone-

liness and hunger for the compan-

ionship of home and home folks,

but on the whole we laugh and

play most of the time. The rest

of the time is spent studying, read-

ing, working, and hoping.

We shall hold firm to our faith

in all of you and are ever assured of your love and consideration.

What Became

of Suzy Didja ever wonder what became

of Suzy? You remember Suzy — she was in our Freshman English class and quit school a f t e r one semester.

Or to be more practicle, how'dja like to hear about the latest doin's of a bunch of ex-Hopites?

There 's Jeannie Boshart, Semi-

nary Pin-up girl of last year. Her

big brown eyes are now sparkling

for the University of Syracuse.

We doubly miss the Misses Van-

derLindens — Mil 'n' Mae to you.

The twins are living in Hynes,

California, and attending Whittier

College. They are music majors

and have plunged into the year and

already made themselves known in

their own inimitable way.

A visit to Milwaukee Downer

College would find Joan Droppers

— yes Drooppy — "nursing her

career." She says there are quite

a few midshipmen floating around!

And who could forget Janey

Waldbillig? She's practicing her

cooking on the family in Albany,

and struggling through tough

French and Biology courses at Al-

bany State. She may be out to see

us some fine day. Hurry yup,

Janey!

Myrt Bos and La Verne Huiper

are at Butterworth hospital in

Grand Rapids looking like the post-

er that says: "Be a Cadet Nurse."

Both gals are s tar t ing their second

year. Lois Vander Schel, M a r y

Jane Mulder, Leona Overbeek, all

of Holland, and Donna Mulder of

Grand Rapids have all succumed

to the lure of nurses training.

Betty Christie is working in a

place that has something to do

with oxygen. We wonder if that

is the place for her!

Shirl Otteman, who always did

like New York, has deserted us

for Keuka College in New York.

And Vonnie Yntema has settled

on Western State at Kalamazoo

for her many activities this year.

Bay City is claiming Betty Van

Dyke this year. But she'll be back

next year.

"Shenicki" De Kleine can be seen

(or heard) on the campus at Cen-

tral College in Pella.

University of Illinois has claimed

Marge Hoobler where she is taking

the course in Journalism.

Hazel Olsen is going to school

somewhere in Chicago.

When her parents moved to Col-

orado, Anna Ruth Poppen accom-

panied them and stayed there just

to go to the Colorado U.

Those who missed Jer ry Upp-

leger will be glad to hear she's

coming back next semester.

Jean Cann has decided on taking

a business course away from Hope.

Now — you know what became

of Suezie!

Do you have aches or pains,

scratches, bruises, or callused f ee t ?

Could it have been the breakfast

hike last Saturday morning? Forty

sleepy gals clamped their weary

bones together, unwrapped Mor-

pheus' a rms and dragged down-

stairs at 7 a. m. Early mornings

are beautiful , aren' t they? (to

mention nothing about how we

looked!) Gertie Vredeveld thought

she was smar t putt ing her bottle

of milk in her pocket — collision

and she ended up with a milk-white

complexion. It was cheap at half

the price! Watch for the next hike.

You know what — the W.A.A.

board will t rea t themselves for a

change. October 12 is the date of

their annual supper hike a la auto-

mobile. No visitors or snitchers

allowed — private par ty! They

have a secret spot in the Hamilton

woods for this rendezvous.

Looking into the "crystal ball"

we can see volleyball games in full

swing. Ruth Mary Cook, a newly

appointed W.A.A. board member,

is in charge of this sport. Sign

your name and pronto — youH be

on a team and ready for business

a f t e r Y on October 17.

Stop — look — and listen —

each week the gym will be open

to the campus co-eds on Monday,

Wednesday and Friday from 2 p.

m. to 3 p. m. and Tuesday and

Thursday from 1 p. m. to 2 p. m.

It 's a f ree for all — badminton

(be careful with the "birds" —

losers-weepers), high jump, ping-

pong, volleyball, etc. Don't forget

to wear your "sneakers."

Have you heard about the female

football game? That goes without

saying, eh! Applications will be

accepted for the various positions.

Watch this space for fu r the r de-

velopments!

There 's an easy way to make a soldier on furlough feel right at

always the hospitable thing to say. In many lands overseas, as in

your own living room, Coca-Cola stands for the pause that refreshes,

My Daze Waiting Tables

Scalpel, P and M Make Plans for the Year

The first meet ing of Pale t te and Masque was a picnic Monday night . Many old and some new members met to discuss plans for the com-ing year. The cha i rman for the meet ing was Betty Timmer , who had planned a worth-while meet-ing and a good t ime fo r everyone.

Because the Scalpel and Biology I Clubs a re much smal le r this year , 1 there has been some talk among the members of having more open meetings. This would be for t h e , s tudents at large, with the pro- , g r ams based on something of in- i terest to the general s tudent body. There is a possibility, too, that all s tudents really interested might come to all the meet ings, even if they are not biology majors or pre-meds. However, such s tudents

would actually not be members of the clubs. All this, however, has not been definitely a r ranged , but will be taken up very soon, a t the next meeting.

When other people th is pas t

summer were doing sane th ings

like knocking thei r brains out at summer school, ac t ing as secre-tar ies , r ivet ing nails at Bull Run or taking it easy in some o ther way, I decided to delve into the a r t of wai t ing tables and play in-separable to a guest check. I bet I met more people than Dewey, and I had to be democrat ic about it too. (That ' s more than you can say for Dewey.)

The people I waited on were all shapes, sizes, and appet i tes . Some days there were more than o thers and every day there were too many. Of course, the regular run of working food devourers rush in between cus tomers for a for ty-eight cent special.

Then again there ' s the f ru s t r a t ed business man with a slouch in his pouch a one track mind. He dis-t ractedly orders " the usual" and it 's like pulling porcupine quills to find out what his usual is. It could be anyth ing f rom a well done tur-nip to a bacon and cucumber sand-wich. But business is business.

Hard to forget is the jovial con-

versationalist , w h o during the

busiest rush hour lets you know his

life h is tory plus the f a c t t h a t he 's

had ulcers fo r s imply yea r s and

can ' t possibly ea t a n y t h i n g on the

menu; so, of course, he could have

a fr ied e g g with the sunny side up. (I never knew before t ha t an egg

had a disposi t ion) .

Then again there ' s the man who decided on coffee and When asked "b lack" or "w i th" the questioned always looks up with a surpr ised glare and answers "of course" . But business is business!

Then there is the cus tomer who

ra t t l es off his order in a whispered

monotone and wonders why he ge t s red beets instead of raw beef. In contras t to him is the s l ight ly deaf cus tomer who demands an expla-nation of his menu. It a lways made me feel like an adver t i se r over N.B.C. using television.

I can ' t leave out the cus tomer who comes in a minute before clos-ing t ime when 1 have e lephant i t i s in all ten toes and my headache is having headaches. All the dear boy wan t s is a smile and leaves a 50c tip. Boy, business is picking up.
