Coach Jack Schouten's eyes gleamed as he sat in the McKay frym at Olivet watching his Hope college combination at daggers drawn with a quintet of Olivet tossers Saturday. As well as Van Lente, Cook, Spoelstra, Dalman, and Becker in the white uniforms, he saw Reimersma, Van Lente, Jonkman, Ottipoby, and Irving, one of the greatest groups that pulled on an Orange and Blue jersey. The game was truly a great one. From the starting whistle to the last boom of the miniature cannon, the Hope boys let Olivet's foxy outfit know that a ball game was in ses- sion. It was in the final moments that the crimson forged ahead to earn a 33-29 victory. The best team on the floor won the game, but the Hope club was less than a step behind. Breaking loose from a mediocre style that had been in effect during the three practice games, the Schoutenmen unleashed a steady attack that matched the speed and shooting ability of the home boys. Spoelstra started the contest with a neat side court shot, and from that mo- ment on the lead was tossed back and forth like a leaf on the tide. Just before the half. Olivet rallied with five points to earn the right to hold Hope to a 15-all count. During the last half the entire crowd of Olivet rooters stood up and yelled.

Every year when the Christmas vacation is over it seems as a mat- ter of habit that the students are very much interested in where their friend or fellow classmate spent the holidays. It is of still more interest to them to know where their instructors spent their vacation. In order to satisfy the interest of the students, we have tried to find out as far as possible what our instructors did during this time. Dr. J. B. Nykerk spent his vaca- tion in Holland and in Chicago. While in Holland he used his time to advantage by catching up on correspondence and doing a great deal of reading. He made his an- nual visit to Chicago to make plans for next year's lyceum course. While in Chicago he heard Muzio and Marshall in "Othello" at the new Chicago Opera House. He also heard Libre and his company in the presentation of one of Shakes- peare's plays, "The Taming of the Shrew." When Dr. E. E. Dimnent was asked where he spent his time he said that he spent it in Holland, Chicago, and Kalamazoo, and that he came back .... "mostly spent." One of the most interesting va- cations is that of Mr. Ritters, who was in New Orleans with his boy. While he was there he spent much time on the "sunny" golf links. He said that he was in the state of Mississippi for a short time and that the ground was covered with three inches of snow. Many of the people had never seen snow before and were very, very much excited at such a spectacle. . Miss Meta Ross spent the holi- days in Grand Rapids, Pontiac, and Detroit. While in Detroit she saw the well known play, "Remote Control." She also visited the new "Detroit Times" building.

We came everyday and were told rather sketchy tales of the way attendance was being taken. Some said that the end men of each seatfc had queer little black books in which they recorded absences with more or less accuracy. Others claimed that Prof. Welmers checked us as we came in. Then we were told that no attendance was being taken, and for a few weeks we didn't aim quite as much as we might, for a perfect attend- ance. And then — out of a clear sky — chapel roll is called! We look at each other a bit strangely. We congratulate ourselves that we came to chapel on time that morn- ing and we look with rather jeal- ous eyes upon our neighbor, whose name has escaped the list by some mystic happening. It is queer how some folks never get called for attendance, but perhaps that is what they call "the ups and downs of life!"

The elimination debates held last Wednesday and Thursday were very gratifying to the coaches. The quality of the arguments was ex-ceptionally good. Expectations for a successful season run high. The mentors have retained a squad of sixteen men, all of whom may be used for inter-collegiate work at some time during the season. Those retained for the affirmative include T. Schaap, D. Wade, L. Hogen-boom, G. Huenink, H. Bast, N. Burggraaff, J. Vander Kolk, and R. Schaap. The negative group con-sists of H. Nobel, C. Postma, F. Wyngarden, K. Toonian, A. Mich-mershuizen, S. Ver Hey, M. Alday, and C. Nettinga.

Frosh-Soph Plan Annual Anchors

Traditional Class Issues Sched-uled at Later Date

- Than Usual

In the next two weeks, in the order named, the Freshman and Sophomore editions of the "AN-CHOR" will make their appear-ance. The Frosh have already chosen the staff which is to pro-duce their paper. It is composed of the following: Editor Alice Boter Associate £ditor....Edward Damson Athletics James Tyaee Art Work Margaret Stclntce Business M'gr Justin Bmmkm Campus News Mildred Klow Humor Hester Fellegrom Head Reporter John Lomson News of Societies

/ Katherine De Jongh Additional reporters will be

added. The purpose of these two edi-

tions of the paper is to stimulate lower-class rivalry of the right sort; that is, in proving superiority in the things that really count in the student life. These editions also serve as means of picking promising material from each of the two classes involved, especially the freshmen. Do not be backward about congratulating or criticizing both issues. In ftther words, main-tain your usual attitude toward your beloved campus publication.

Was There or Wasn't There A Chapel Roll?

For a long time, we've been won-dering about this chapel business. We came everyday and were told rather sketchy tales of the way attendance was being taken. Some said that the end men of each seatfc had queer little black books in which they recorded absences with more or less accuracy. Others claimed that Prof. Welmers checked us as we came in. Then we were told that no attendance was being taken, and for a few weeks we didn't aim quite as much as we might, for a perfect attend-ance. And then — out of a clear sky — chapel roll is called! We look at each other a bit strangely. We congratulate ourselves that we came to chapel on time that morn-ing and we look with rather jeal-ous eyes upon our neighbor, whose name has escaped the list by some mystic happening. It is queer how some folks never get called for attendance, but perhaps that is what they call "the ups and downs of life!"

ANCHOR ELECTIONS

Elsewhere in this edition of the ''Anchor" you will find a list of the candidates for election to the 1930 Staff. In the past it has been the custom to elect all members of the staff except the reporters, but this year only the major officers are to be elected. Th eplan is briefly this: the Editor, three asso-ciates, and the Business Manager are to be chosen by a ballot at large. These five persons together with the retiring Editor and Business Manager will serve as a committee to choose the rest of the staff.

It is believed that there are many obvious advantages to this method of procedure. In the first place, and sufficient in itself, is that this system does not automatically eliminate a defeated candidate from any further participation in the staff work. Under the old system with all the offices except re-porter filled there was no opening for even the recognized ability of the defeated candidates for editor, or the col-umnists. In addition to this reason, an Editor who knows the abilities of the several students who will be seeking positions is in a better postion to get the right man in the right place. A third reason or this method of procedure is that it will facilitate the balloting.

Balloting will be donee, according to custom, by the signed ballot.

FAREWELL FROM THE OLD STAFF

It may be that a few of the old staff members feel this a very solemn occasion — this publication of our last "Anchor." Who knows but that this may be the last time many of us will have a chance to see any of our productions "in print!" As we look back we all have amusing memories of terrifying first interviews, interesting experiences, and dull afternoons spent chewing inoffensive pencils while supposedly useful brains stubbornly refused to be of use in producing readable material; and all this because of the weekly "Anchor" pub-lication. Sometimes it was fun, and sometimes it was dull, but we wouldn't have missed it for worlds. What a thrill it was when an object of your pride unexpectedly appeared in the place of honor on the front page! 1 remember my first two editorials—(I wrote two the first week)—and how much fun it was to write them and look forward to the year's work, but now we are looking back, and I'm afraid that if Ovid were here to compare this with those first two, he would say,

"Thou beginnest better than thou endest. The last is inferior to the first."

(This is one of my pencil-chewing afternoons in spite of the fact I especially wanted to write a very good editorial thisj time.)

But I will leave you quickly, expressing regrets which 11

think we of the old staff all feel, and gratitude for the ex-periences which "Anchor" work has afforded us all. The best of wishes to the Freshmen and Sophomore staffs soon to pro-duce their numbers; and especially to those new regular staff' members to whom we will soon be passing on the "Anchor" with all its traditions and opportunities. It is one of our fond, hopes, however, that Hope College will be able to establish an active course in journalism to aid its struggling publica-tions, including the annual.

"Gude nicht, and joy be wi' you a'."

(Continued from pape 1) columns.

The "College Chronicle," Sophomore edition, of Naper-ville, Illinois, reports the following activities: A junior-senior banquet held in the hotel of a neighboring city; a freshman-sophomore party, arranged for in an impromptu manner to go the upper classmen one better; a chapel-notes column — done well by an interested reporter; a generous literary sec-tion ; a mistake in a sport page headline which caused it to read, "Soph Girls Champs of 1929 Succer"; much interest is rampant at North Central College over the fine game of soc-cer. North Centralites call for their papers at the campus office of the publication. Is there a news-gathering reason for this?

The "Wheaton Record," of Wheaton, Illinois, is neatly made-up, and headlines are carefully written. The ads are also well put up. Your printer owns some enviable type-fonts. Do you conduct an exchange column?

The "Washington Collegian," of Chesterton, Maryland, has a commendable current event column dealing with the proper topics in the proper way. This paper has a unique make-up, using abrupt topical phrases as headlines. A fra-ternity column is in evidence, a feature which we hope to utilize soon. Evidently student council controversies are uni-versal as this group at numerous colleges is up for discussion. An Open Forum article pleads for rights for women-smokers. There is a smile wrapped up in the last paragraph of this plea, where the woman author of it labels her bequest as being a "vital" one. All in all, permit us to say that your pub-lication reflects a lively studentry — the subject matter of the paper being varied and newsy.

The "Kalamazoo College Index," of Kalamazoo, Michigan, reports an outstanding event where a literary society, the Alpha Sigma Delta, entertained fifty-two poor children at their ninth annual Christmas party. A jolly Santa Claus climaxed the happy program. We note that you have Howard C. Hoover as editor; that's nothing—we have Herbert Hoover as a reporter!

The "Almanian" of A!nu College, Michigan, has nicely balanced editorials treating readable topics from a refresh-ingly human standpoint. The one on "Hypocrites" was stir-ring. Evidently students at Alma requested a weekly chapel service, and the abuse of this privilege is the subject of an-other editorial headed "Kindergarteners".

We note that Ex-Governor Chas. S. Osborn of Sault Ste. Marie awarded a farm worth $25,000 to Alma College. Other endowments of money and books were given recently.

The "Central State Ray," of Pella, Iowa, reports a highly student publication we have ever had the privilege of gazing upon. With headlines galore, and subjects of endless variety and interest, this paper comes from a strong journalism de-partment. The Central State Teacher's College may well be proud of their publications staff heads. The Faculty-Director of Student publications is Maynard Hicks, well known in this state for his ventures in various fields of paper work. Since his advent in his present connection at Central State, the quality of the school's paper has increased tremendously. Lest these words of appreciation assume a too congratulatory tone, allow us to say that undying loyalty to work of this na-ture has always induced a great awe within us. Any college that does not list the "Central State Life" among its ex-changes is pursuing a futile course.

The "Central State Ray", of Pella, Iowa, reports a highly successful Frosh-Soph banquet that marked the close of ac-tive class rivalry. The first year class gave it, since they had lost the annual "pull" to the Sophs.

Ohter papers included in our exchanges for the week, and which we have no room this issue to mention: The "Hillsdale Collegian", the "Bay Window" of Muskegon, the "Mac Week-ly" of St. Paul, Minnesota, the "College World" of Adrian, the "Thorntonite" of Harvey, Illinois, and the"Mission House News" of Plymouth, Wisconsin.

his house is very beautiful as it is { situated in the midst of woods.

Mrs. Durfee spent the holidays at Voorhees and in Grand Rapids visiting old students and friends. While in Grand Rapids she attend-ed the services at Central Reformed Church where Mr. Dykstra is pas-tor.

Miss Fulmer, Mr. Lampen, Mr. Thompson, Mr. Timmer and Mv. Winters spent their vacation in Holland. Prof. Winter did some work on the college catalogue.

Pep Meet Amuses

The latest and most recent outburst of student spirit took place at the gym last Friday evening. Harry Friesema, John Muilenberg, "Chuck" Van Domelien, Harold Hoo-ver, Marvin Meengs, Myron Leenhouts, Leonard Hoogen-boom, and John Meengs ap-peared in various roles on the impromptu program. The oc-casion was the first confer-ence basketball game on the morrow, but as the team was not at the pep meet, and as the eats were not served, we felt rather "Taken In."

Professor Hinkamp and his wife spent Christmas in Kalamazoo with his brother-in-law. The rest of the time he stayed at home with the exception of going to Fremont one day to give a stereopticon lec-ture on the "Life of Christ."

Mr. E. P. McLean was in Hol-land and Evanston during the holi-days. While in Evanston he did re-search work at Northwestern Uni-versity.

Our French instructor, Miss Nella Meyer, spent a quiet vacation at home. She said she was glad when school started again.

Dr. Robinson was in Chicago with his parents during the Christ-mas recess. Although Chicago is long distance from here, he re-turned every Sunday in order to. continue his new work at the American Reformed Church in Hamilton. He plans to continue his work there each Sunday until spring.

Dr. Van Zyl said that he spent his vacation at home "entertaining, his children." He also said that he] was very much pleased at the num-' ber of visits that were paid to him

by former graduates of Hope, who are now studying medicine in other schools.

Dr. Gray spent most of his time in Rochester, New York. While he was there he did some research on some ballads and visited the University of Rochester. On his return trip he stopped in Detroit where he gave a speech on "Folk Songs and Ballads" at a dinner of the Ministers' Association.

Another one of our new instruc-tors, Mr. Sprague, spent his time in Holland. He said that his vaca-tion was really a "fireside vaca-tion."

Mr. Raymond spent most of his time reading history and fiction, a book a day. Much of his reading was done on the debate subject.

Miss Boyd stayed at home during the holidays with the exception of a day when she went to Grand Rapids to attend a dinner for the Girls' Pine Lodge Association, where she gave a talk. Miss Boyd was at her annual Christmas dinner for those who remained at the Girls' Dormitory over the holidays.

Another one of our science teach-ers, Mr. H. Kleinheksel, stayed at his new home in Waukazoo. As Dr. Kleinheksel built his new home this fall, he has had very little time to spend there during the school year. He says that the scenery around

Football Letter Men to be Guests

of City Exchange Club at Banquet Sport Briefs

Jim Crowley, Noted Coach, to be Evening's

Speaker

H O L L A N D H I G H I N C L U D E D

On the evening of January 20, the Holland Exchange club will banquet the two football teams of the city: Hope College and Holland High. These banquets have become an annual affair in appreciation of the work the players have done and the publicity their playing has given to the city. The event will be held at the Warm Friend Tav-ern on the date mentioned at six o'clock.

One of the big features of the evening will be the appearance of "Jim" Crowley, coach of Michigan State coltage and member of the ever famous "Four Horsemen" ag-gregation of Notre Dame univer-sity. As guest of the evening, Crowley will be the feature speaker.

All the Exchange Club, of which our own Professor A. E. Lampen is secretary, will also be in atten-dance, besides the letter men of the schools and their "dads." Accord-ing to present records, the follow-ing Hope men won letters in foot-ball last year, although records have not yet been completed: Cap-tain Cook, Dalman, H. Japinga, Van Lente, Wingarten, Juist, Stef-fens, Brunson, Winter, Leenhouts, Scudder, Becker and Oosting. All men whose father does not live in Holland, or vicinity, will have "adopted" fathers for the evening.

The first practices for the Girls' basketball teams that are going to be formed by every society are scheduled for Wednesday, January 15. Different representatives of the societies are already sign-ing up for their hours of practice. Although no definite plans have been made for games, it is thought that these activities will begin in full force at the entrance of the new semester.

Misses Josephine and Alice Cooper were bridesmaids. The ceremony was followed by a dinner at the Wedgwood hotel, Mr. and Mrs. Yn-tema are making their home in Jamestown, Mich, where Mr. Yn-tema is principal of the high school.

OLIVET WORKS HARD

('Continued from page one) stalling for the remaining time

v completely offset any attempted rally by the weary Hopeites. The Olivet team looked good enough to cop first honors in the confer-ence race during those moments.

The Hope team played great ball, in fact, about three times as good as was expected. If the at-tack ha<l been played a little more leisurely at times, better results would have been received, and a victory might have been obtained. But taking all into consideration, the team is in for a lot of credit. Each one of the boys played a good game. Captain Carl Van Lente headed the scoring with four field goals and three fouls while Becker, Spoelstra, and Dalman each got six counters. Boo Cook's efforts were entirely confined to de-fense and he did remarkably well.

Olivet has a very good team. Playing fast ball, yet turning in a clean game, the Congregational-ists won the game fair and square. Perhaps on another evening or perhaps later in the season the Olivet team would prove no match for our fast-arriving five, but Sat-urday night the Crimson deserved all the laurels it had gained. The fast breaking, deceptive style of ball should prove to be the undoing of many conference schools.

The Olivet Frosh made it a com-plete evening by trimming a few of our first year men. Only six Hope yearlings made the trip as the rest of the squad had not been out to practice regularly and they were not taken along. Painter, Slighter, Norlin, Jim Wiegerink, Damson, and Marsilje did very well, losing out however by a 26-18 count. This combination worked well consider-ing that it had not been used to-gether before.

Among the alumni callers in Holland during the vacation were Martha Van Buren, Mary Waldron of last year's class and Nina Lin-deman Gisibil, '14, of Chicago.

Rev. George Steininger, '10, pas-tor of the Southern Reformed church of Brooklyn, New York, led the chapel service last Friday. This well known alumnus of Hope col-lege was the winner of the national college contest of oratory in his day. His connection with the Frat-ernal Socicty is cherished by its members, whom he visited twice during his stay here. At the last Frater meeting Rev. Steininger gave an excelI«fU impromptu talk.

Hope faces a busy week on the court with one feature played at home and an important conference contest being scheduled away! This evening at Carnegie gym, the Hope varsity tossers will be hosts to a group of basketeers representing St. Mary's of Orchard Lake. It is needless to emphasize the fact that the visitors will present one of the best small college teams in the middle west. Last season they beat | us by a lone point, while we nosed out ahead by the same margin two years ago. Hope has had athletic relations with this institution for a number of years, and each game has been one of great interest to the students and other fans as well as to the coaches.

Hillsdale will entertain the var-! sity team Friday evening at the1

field house. The fact that Kalamazoo edged

the Dales out in the opening game last Saturday means that the boys of that institution will be hosts but not Santa Claus to the Orange and Blue men. Hillsdale has a vet-eran team with such stars as Rest-ifo, Davis, Knight, Wager, and Howe. The court team has prom-ised to regain some of the Hope honor with a win over the Dales. Let's help them along.

Albion prevented Calvin from winning its first game of the sea-son by handing our rivals a 3r;-2(i drubbing at Grand Rapids Friday. In a previous meeting at Albion the Methodists won by a small margin, but Calvin held great hopes of turning the tables in tin;! return game. Coach Erwin's com-' bination dispelled those vain thoughts by scoring eleven points before the Knights knew what the

hoop was for. Although Calvin came back strong in the last half, the advantage was too large. Bruce Gray, captain of Albion, headed his team with three field goals and eight fouls for fourteen points. W. Dolfin with nine was high man for Calvin although Eldervelt played the best ball.

-s g( suppose Chemistry will help you in that particular line," I answered.

"A business man! That's good. I e

„ :P Harvard seems to be his final edu-cational destination. Mike is a Hol-land boy and as a loyal Dutchman his pet hobby is cooking. He likes to prepare meals and will someday make someone a good cook—so he says.

Here comes Hilda Aiken! We'll ask her.

"Say, Hilda, what's your greatest ambition after school?"

"Well, I don't know," she replies. "I'd like to teach history in some high school."

"Ahem—Miss Aiken, could you tell us why you're so interested in Rhode Island Reds at present?"

"Oh!" she blushed. "Er-er-don't

you dare put that in the Anchor! Seems as if there chickens have something to do with Al.

Hilda's from New York and is a Scotchman! Who would have thought it! Her interest at present is taken up mostly with those Rhode Island Reds but outside of that she likes swimming immensely and delights in reading historical novels.

Now that we've heard from the seniors lets speak to some juniors. Here come "Mike" Leenhouts! An-other "Mike."

"Mike—what's your greatest am-bition in life?"

"To go on the stage!" said "Mike," and judging from that per-formance at Friday night's mass meeting he'd make a great hit.

"Aw, common *Mike,'—seriously speaking—do tell."

"Well, seriously speaking, I'm going around the world several times. But if I don't do that first then I'll teach for a year—Oh I'll teach anything."

"Will the subjects you take now help you later?"

"No—subjects won't help me any," but upon thinking of the ef-fect this statement would have on Professor Winter, he quickly added —"er-well my pet subject is psy-

Test Shows Student Flunkers

Not Always Society Butterflies Drawing its news interest from a point of discussion dear

to the heart of both student and instructor, the following excerpt from the "School and Society" magazine has been copied by a reporter. Its appeal will draw the eye of every reader. Presenting conclusive evidence on the subject, this article is brief but vital.

WHY STUDENTS FAIL Paul L. Vogt

"Failure in class work in our institutions of higher learn-ing is dependent to a great extent upon the courses taken and upon the instructors teaching the courses. This is the conclusion reached by Miss Mattie MacAddison as a result of the study of the record of 561 students enrolled in the Uni-versity of Oklahoma who failed in two or more subjects dur-ing the school year of 1927-28. Miss Addison found that the percentage of failures for the various departments for the first semester of 1927-28 ranged from 1.3 per cent to 30.8 per cent. The study showed, however, that other factors had to do with the failures. Some of the more important ones were previous training, student personality, student attitude, and student reaction.

Men Flunks 3-1 "Of the total enrollment of 4,918, a percentage of 11.41

failed in two or more subjects. One-third of all students fail-ing at all failed in two or more subjects. Four hundred and seventy-four men or 14.5 per cent and eighty-seven women, or 5.27 per cent made faiulres in two or more subjects. Of all those failing, 295, or 52.7 per cent, were freshmen, and 131, or 23 per cent, were sophomores. Over 75 per cent of all fail-ures belong to the freshmen and sophomore classes. Appar-ently failure of students is a process of weeding out in the lower grades those who, for one reason or another, are not fitted to meet the requirements of college training.

"Poor training in English does not seem to be a contribut-ing factor. One hundred and twenty-nine students were en-rolled in subfreshmen English courses, and in this number only twenty-one of the 561 failures were listed. Neither do failures seem to be dependent to any great degree upon previ-ous training, since the investigation showed that there was no great variation as to the size or rank of the high schools from which the students came. The record, moreover, shows that freshmen failures are not influenced by whether the course taken is required or elective.

Societies Not Cause "Of the men in the university 25.9 per cent belong to

fraternities. Only 14.56 per cent of the failures were members of fraternities. Among the women, 32.1 per cent belong to sororities, and only 17.24 per cent of those failing were sor-ority members.

"The results of the investigation indicate that failure on the part of freshman end sophomore students is quite largely related to lack of adjustment college conditions. There is always a certain proportion of students who come to institu-tions of higher learning primarily because of the desire of their parents to have them attend college and not because of any great interest in college work on the part of the stu-dents themselves. This group is due for early elimination. Among the students, however, who come to the university with a real desire to attain a college education, there are those whose early attendance is distracted by social and other affairs to the extent that their efficiency in class work is destroyed. Failure leads to discouragement and ultimate elimination.

"If a careful check could be made of the teaching staff, looking to correction of unfairness in grading, if courses could be harmonized as to requirements for passing, and if extra-curricular activities of the school could be organized so that th etime of the student for at least the first semester of college life would not be diverted from class work, the number of educational tragedies among young people due to failure! would be greatly reduced."

chology. I'm going to take up sev-eral vocations until I find the one I like. Then I'll stick to it", he fin-ished with an emphatic jerk of the head.

"Mike" has lived in the little town of Williamson, "N. Y. all his life, and like most of us here, is a Dutchman. He says he hasn't any

et hobby, but one of his society rothers told me he delights in put-

ting on sketches similar to Friday night's performance around bed time at the Cosmo House.

Let's interview one of the girls. Oh, Olivia Johnson.

"Say, Livy, what are you going to do after college?"

"I'm going to Porto Rico or the Hawaiian Islands for a three year term to teach the heathens. If I don't fall heir to millions and mar-ry, why I'll come back here and get married. But if I don't marry I'll teach in the U. S. for a year and then travel."

Livy is a very good seamstrees. She was bom in Spring Valley, N. Y. Her mother is a Yankee and her father a Swede, all of which makes Olivia . . . proud.

Oh, look! There goes "Bill" Clough. Wonder what he's going to do.

"Bill, when you get out of school what are you going to be?"

"I'm going to study medicine.! First, I'm going to Columbia. Then I'm going to take my interneship in India."

"Do you think you'll ever get there?"

"Oh, I hope so. Then I'd like to get located in the medical center in N. Y. You know somewhere about there. No, none of my subjects are going to help, except, of course, sci-ence. Economics isn't doing me any good."

"Yes, so I noticed," I said. "Say, that's a dig—but that's all." | There goes Ruth Van Dyke. I

must sneak to her. "What am I studying for? To get

a line on medical terms," Rutr , laughlingly replied. "No. but ously, I intend teaching for a year and then—"

"You'll get married," I finished. "Maybe," she nodded her head

and smiled. Chicago is where Ruth comes

from and she's Dutch. What she likes doing best of all is waiting for the 4:30 train to arrive from Ann Arbor.

To finish this interview in the right spirit, we ought to heafc-' from some freshmen,

"Oh, Ethel Leestma, do you intend taking up music as a voca-tion?"

"Yes. I'd like to teach music af-ter I finish school and then play the organ in some church."

" 'Slim' Decker, what'ffyour aim in life?" I asked as he passed.

"I'm going to be a minister. I'll study at New Brunswick. I don't know anything else I'll do."

These freshmen have not yet had time to make a decision so can't tell us very much. But we all know what a shark Slim is at bridge and what a good tennis player he is.

So there's lots of hope for us all. Now don't you think this has been interesting? The lives of other peo-ple make attractive reading, and yet at the same time are very in-forming—sometimes helping us to form a decision of our own that has been hard to form.

arranged. On February 20 Philadelphia will

be hosts to the Club and then Washington will be made head-quarters. After the capital has been thoroughly inspected and passed upon, the boys will turn towards home, possibly stopping at Cleveland. This is but a rough sketch of the itinerary; details will be given later when the complete schedule is obtainable.

However, a few pre-trip engage-ments will educate the new mem-bers to the concert stage. On Sun-day the 19th the Club will sing in the Third Reformed church of this city. The following Tuesday they will be at the Home Acres church in Grand Rapids; and the First Reformed church of Kalamazoo will hear them on Monday, the 27th.
