cal record by copping first place honors in the state oratorical

contest of the Michigan Intercollegiate Speech League which

place in the women's contest.

' T a p s and Reveille"

Bill was awarded the gold medal

for his oration "Taps and Reveille."

He received plenty of competition

from representatives of seven other

schools. The balloting resulted in

a triple tie for first place and the

final decision was made on the

percentage basis. Kamins of Michi-

gan State took second place honors

and Rativz of Wayne was third.

Moehlman of Michigan State and

Kramer of Wayne won first and

second places respectively in the

women's contest. Harriett took

third with her oration, "Our Boom

in Badness." The winners will represent the

state of Michigan at the contest of the Interstate Oratorical Asso-ciation which will be held at Evans-ton, 111., on April 27-28.

Excellent Record

Under the direction of Prof. Schrier, Hope's orators have estab-lished an enviable record during the past few years. Last year Har-land Steele and Vivian Tardiff took second and third at the state con-

Merry Hadden Marries

Pfc. Ray Van Ommen Hope Church was the scene at 4

p. m. Tuesday, March 14, for the

candlelight wedding of M e r r y

Hadden, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

Mayo Hadden, Sr., Holland, and

Ray Van Ommen, son of Mr. and

Mrs. David Van Ommen, Zeeland.

Rev. Marion de Velder read the

wedding service in the presence of about 250 guests. Traditional wedding music was played by Mrs. W. Curtis Snow, who also accom-panied Mrs. Phillips Brooks as she sang "Through the Years" by You-mans and "The Lord's Prayer" by

Malotte.

The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore a gown of Vene-tian point lace and crepe. She car-ried a shower bouquet of white roses and friesia with an orchid

center.

Miss Marguerite Hadden served her sister as maid of honor. She wore a plum crepe gown with long full skirt. In her hair she wore a large tulle bow of pink and car-ried a tiny matching muff to which was fastened a shower nosegay with Queen Ann rose center sur-rounded by violets and sweet peas.

As matron of honor, Mrs. Mayo Hadden, Jr., wore a similar gown of chartreuse with large tulle bow and matching tiny muff.

The bridesmaids, Miss Cleo Rut-gers, Holland, and Miss Anne Tim-mer, Grandville, were dressed in powder blue, with bows and muffs of blue.

Jay Van Ommen served his brother as best man. The ushers were Pfc. William Tappan, Ap-prentice Seaman Kenneth Vanden Berg, Martin Bekken and Donald Lievense. Mr. and Mrs. George Pelgrim served as master and mistress of ceremonies.

A reception in the church par-lors immediately followed the cere-mony. Pfc. and Mrs. Van Ommen left for Chicago on a wedding trip. They will make their home in Ann Arbor, where the bridegroom is a junior medical student at the Uni-versity of Michigan.

The bride attended Hope College for two years and a half. She was a member of the Sorosis society. The bridegroom was graduated from Hope College June, 1942, and was a member pf the Fraternal so-ciety.

united in marriage Miss Vivian

Louise Tardiff, Hope senior, and

Lt. Gerard E. Cook of the army

Warner performed the ceremony

in the presence of 1IJI) guests.

The bride, wearing a lovely

gown of white sheer ninon trimmed

with bands of Chantilly lace, was

given in marriage by her brother,

Morris Tardiff. Her veil of bridal

illusion was caught in a t iara of

orange blossoms and she carried a

crescent bouquet of white roses

and gardenias.

Mrs. Edward Klaus was matron

as bridesmaids. Bride's at tendants

known to his lab associates as "the

Life is really a grind for Kep.

He is often to be found, a lonely

figure, deep in thought, in a booth

at the Model — oblivious to the

gay chatter around him, guzzling

and solving an equation at the

same time! Chemistry

and food hold equal fascination

for the Editor. Keeping "Bach-

elor's Row" frequently, Rog finds

he has a knack for the culinary

ar ts — talents no less — well, at

least he tries. Fried radishes are

his masterpiece.

Then again you will find him

hard at a game of ping-pong in

the Commons Room, skunking the other editor. Being a man of the world, Kep has devoted much of his time aboard ship in batting the ball around — just about any kind of a ball. A proud moment came a few weeks ago when the senior chems beat the frosh in a rousing game of basketball — eight points for the editor.

To members of the ANCHOR staff it will seem that one of the Editor's favourite past times is a

good argument, discussion, or what have you. A typical discussion goes somewhat like this: "Bet I can do ten push-ups to your one." "No,

In By Edna May Richards

There are conflicting ideas on the fu ture education of Ger-many and Japan as expressed by Gregor Athalwin Ziemer and Dean William Fletcher Russell. The former, in an article for the Princeton Public Opinion Quarterly, said that the actual administration of the German schools, at least for five years, should be in the hands of American and British educators who not only know the German language but also the German psychology and what has been going on in the Nazi schools. He contends that German youth would take to our American books and teaching methods providing there is discipline and firmness. In support of Ziemer, Philadelphia's School Super-intendent, Alexander Stoddard, said that the Axis schools should be closed, if necessary, until trustworthy teachers can be pro-vided. It would be better for the peace of the world if the children of Germany and Japan have no schooling for a while than to have their minds twisted again.

In direct opposition to this, William Fletcher Russell says, "The conduct of education is not an international affair . . . The job of carrying educational ideas across national frontiers . . . requires considerable tact, sympathy and experience." He also recalls that school reforms have often come a f t e r defeats. He fears that the United States itself may be least progressive; he sees a growing trend toward medievalism, scholasticism and general educational reaction.

Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, fresh from a tour of Nazi defenses in captive Denmark, paraded ceremoniously through Copenhagen. Stony-faced Danes lingered on the sidewalks long a f te r the famed "Desert Fox" had passed.

A Gestapo officer asked, "What ' s the mat te r? Rommel is not coming back. Whom are you waiting f o r ? "

Said the Danes: "Montgomery." According to the records of the F.B.I, for the first time the boy

of seventeen is now the number one criminal of the United States. While his older brothers are busy at war, he committed 27.7 per cent more crimes last year.

Student, Faculty and Army Representatives Take Part in Farewell Program/ Lt. Hadden, Famous Hope Alumnus, is Special Guest

Tuesday morning, March 21, at 9:15 A. M., a farewell assembly was held in Memorial Chapel for the A. S. T. P. unit which has been on campus since October of last year and will leave for parts unknown within the next few days.

Berry Sings Under the chairmanship of Dr. Wynand Wichers, the

program opened with the singing of the national anthem. Thi.s was followed with an organ solo by Mrs. W. C. Snow. Private Roy Berry, who has been active musically bjth on campus and in town ever since his arrival in Holland, gave his interpietation of Shortnin' Bread accompanied at the

piano by Mrs. Snow. He was ap-plauded back twice to sing With-out a Song and Tommy Lad.

Private James A. Ellison, Jr . , speaking fo r the Unit, gave an appropriate farewell speech, not without humour; while Student Council Representative Mary Eliz-abeth Aldrich, reciprocated for the students.

Hadden Speaks Special guest of the morning was

Lieutenant Mayo A. Hadden of the" Navy Air Corps, a Holland resir dent and Hope graduate home on leave a f t e r having seen active duty in both the African and Pacific areas. While a t Hope, Lieutenant Hadden was Captain of the football team and very active on campus. During his career with the navy, he has earned numerous awards including the silver star, the gold medal, and the Purple Heart . He related several uncensored stories of the action he had seen. The Girls' Glee Club, under the direc-tion of Mrs. W. C. Snow, and accompanied by Myra Kleis, sang Begin the Begine and There Are Such Things.

Following a brief talk by Dr.. Bruce Raymond, chairman of the military faculty, nine men of the Unit were applauded for their scholastic record, having all A's and B's, with no grade lower than B. They were as follows: Ja e. E. Gindler, William F. Rumpel. Junior L. Wagoner, Rufus B. Dowdy, James E. Madigan, Abra-ham M. Banch, Rufus H. Cox, Merlin B. Davey, and Robert A ^.abens.

Y's and CE Union Plan for Easter

A sunrise service led by Rev. Kruithof will be held at 6:30 a. m. in Hope Chapel on Easter morning, April 9.

The Y.M.C.A., Y.W.C.A., and the Holland Christian Endeavor socie-ties are making this possible. They have secured the Master Men's Quartette for special vocal selec-tions and a trumpet duet to con-tribute the instrumental portion of the service. Anna Ruth Poppen will play the organ prelude.

Many have attended sunrise serv-ices and know the special signifi-cance this gives to the Easter mes-sage. Those who have not had the privilege of attending will find that this service renews the strength found in the Easter prom-ise.

Those in direct charge of arrange-ments are Del Vander Haar, chair-man; Helga Sawitzsky, Dick Hine and Frances De Pree.

Review of Reviews of "Hope For The Best" "This Is the Army" — an all sol-

dier show touring the country and bringing large sums of money into the treasurers of the various War Relief Agencies: why couldn't this be done on a much smaller scale right here in Holland? An ASTP follies — a War Bond premiere — that 's it, a War Bond Premier at the Holland Theatre.

These are the thoughts that ran through Supply Sgt. A1 Gorchoff's mind as he toyed with the idea of an all-soldier show.

All of this went on while the men were on furlough. As soon as they came back, and the new semester got well under way, A1 contacted Cadet Capt. Roy Berry, who was the student Special Serv-ice Officer. They both agreed that i t was a very good idea, and that both cast and audience would en-

joy the show. With a definite goal in mind, A1

as director, and Roy as general manager, called in Pvt. Stan Mey-ers who was MC and "chief gag man," and together they sat down and laid out the concrete plans fo r the production.

The nucleus of the show was to be 9 or 10 varied musical, com-edy, choral, and dramatic numbers. Interwoven into these main acts w e r e numerous "Hellzapoppen" routine that kept everything mov-ing at a f as t pace and held the audience's attention a t all times.

The name that was tacked on this "melting pot of dramatic and musical ability" was "Hope for the Best."

Three performances were given, two on Wednesday, March 8, at the Woman's Literary Club, and

the main performance on Friday, March 10, a t 9:15 p. m., a t the Holland Theatre.

Wednesday's shows were for stu-dents and "G.I.'s." The first show Wednesday was for high school students and it set a record fo r attendance at the Club. More than 700 boys and girls jammed every available comer to see the boys go through their pace.

Red Cross Boxes were passed Wednesday and a t the day's end approximately $120.00 had been col-lected.

Friday's performance was given before a packed house that paid $22,600.00 in War Bonds fo r ad-mission.

We just had an interview with AI Gorchoff and he said that the following are things he will never forget about the show:

The Quartet 's "off-key harmony." Trying to "pour" George Smith

into ray wife's formal. Mrs. Abemathie 's flowers. The Magical Moron. Harriet te Aumack — The pretti-

est chorus girl. Our first dress rehearsal. The best all-soldier chorus —

ever. The soldier who didn't want to

go back to Zeeland. Pancho and hia grass skirt . Dubia and Jablusch—the chorines

with the shapeliest legs. The autograph hunters a t the

high school show. Frank Swoonatra. With these and other memories

of our ASTP boys still clear in our minds, we reluctantly say good-bye and wish them all the best of luck.

Maa man Chosen Y W President

John Bull Still Bullheaded I On F e b r u a r y 22, Winston Churchill made the following

s t a t e m e n t : " I cannot feel tha t the Russian demand for reas-surance about her western f r o n t i e r s goes beyond the l imits

of wha t is reasonable or j u s t . Marsha l Stal in and I also spoke and agreed upon the need f o r Poland to obtain com-pensat ion a t the expense of Germany both in the nor th and

countr ies ." Our genera t ion laughs and mocks when the names of Wil-

son and Chamber la in a re mentioned. You see they were idealists who were so interested in seeing how they could help mank ind tha t they fai led to notice the devils who were out fo r t he i r own selfish skins. Winston Churchil l need not be

a f r a id of be ing classified wi th these two men. T h a t would be doing him too g rea t an honor. However, if he continues to act and th ink and lie in the manne r which he has done in the pas t he may be honored by a spot beside the g rea t

Clemenceau. Churchi l l ' s recent s t a t emen t is a w a r n i n g which all Ameri-

can d ip lomats should take note of. It is a f o r e w a r n i n g of another Versailles, only this t ime it will be Stal in and Churchill instead of Lloyd George and Clemenceau. All we need now is another Wilson and then th is count ry can set itself to the task of ra i s ing the children who will fight the

next w a r . We entered this w a r to get rid of some out laws so tha t

ALL na t ions could live and work together . We do not wish to dominate a peaceful pos t -war world. No count ry should.

However, if Joseph Stal in, Winston Churchil l and thei r re-spective henchmen (and we believe they do this aga ins t the will of the i r own coun t rymen) insist upon playing power politics with the f ron t i e r s of the cont inent of Eu rope without respect to sovereign r igh t s of peoples, then, the United Sta tes of Amer ica should s t a t e her ideas and p lans f o r the post-war world and if they a r e not in accord with those of England and Russia then we should use some of our power to accom-plish our ends.

Russ ia says keep out . So we keep out eve ry th ing except our supplies. The same goes fo r Br i ta in , only she takes our men as well as our supplies. Long ago we should have s tated

our pos t -war aims and if they were not going to be met we should have turned our back on the moral ly and spir i tual ly rot ten cont inent of Europe and set our eyes to the west where we would find our real enemy, J a p a n , and our real

f r i end , China . You see China has Chiang while Eng land has Churchil l and Russia has Stal in . All t h r ee a r e s t rong and brave men with g rea t capabil i t ies but only one has a vision of the pos t -war world which is s imilar to ours. Incidentally, his skin is colored!

Dear Ed i to r s :

We of the circulation staff should like to impress upon the readers of the ANCHOR that they are enti t led to one, and only one, ANCHOR every two weeks. Enough ANCHORS are ordered so t h a t all Hopeites, paid subscr ibers , and recent Hopeites who a re now in the armed serv-ices can have one copy, but there a re not enough f o r anyone to have more than one. It is cer tainly a shame to discover, t ime a f t e r time, tha t we a re several ANCHORS short , and usually it is our men in the service who mus t go without the i r copy because of the selfishness of those of us on the campus. If you would like your pa ren t s or f r i ends to have the ANCHOR, a dollar will pay fo r a year ' s subscription. But please be f a i r , take only what you pay for , and help us to see to i t tha t all the boys in the service ge t their ANCRORS every two weeks.

Sincerely,

The Circulation Staff.

Quotable Quotes (By Associated Collegiate Press)

"Many thousands of young people will be denied the oppor-tunity to complete their schooling, and additional thousands will have to subs t i tu te technical t r a in ing in place of the type of education they would normally acquire. This is as it is, and s tudents and staff members a re willingly adapt ing themselves to the new si tuation. The schools, however, have an additional responsibility. They must preserve their ancient objectives as well as they can without i n t e r f e r ing with the war effort . Ad-mittedly, the t ime may come when our educational inst i tut ions may have to be entirely devoted to technical t ra in ing or even closed. Until these th ings happen, however, instruction in the humanit ies and pure science should be continued for the benefit of those s tudents who can find t ime to extend their studies be-yond those required as direct prepara t ion for war service. It is to be hoped tha t those who a re guiding the dest iny of our schools will use all of their abili t ies and judgment to avoid mis-takes which will cause i r reparable damage to the inst i tut ions for which they are responsible." President Alexander (J. Ruthven of the Universi ty of Michigan calls for caution in handling of the war t ime education crisis.

Spring—the Myth

of the Michigandcr There is a certain myth which

makes its appearance in th is sec-

tion of Michigan each yea r on or

nea r the Ides of March. Any Michi-

gander — or Michigoose! — will

defend it to the death. I t is the

g rand illusion of Spr ing.

' ihore comes a day about th i s t ime of year when the endless g r a y

skies of Michigan winter l i f t a bit , and a watery sun shines fitfully on a g ray world. Then the inhabi t -a n t s shout g l e e f u l l y , "See ! Spr ing ' s here!" We fore igners , who have lived in other cl imates and consequently know what to expec t of spr ing, look a t the t rees shiver-ing nakedly in the icy wind f r o m the lake, at the sidewalks paved with viciously t reacherous ice, a t the dir ty snow lying in c o m e r s and along curbs, and at our own hands and noses blue with cold.

Or perhaps instead of the usual snow flurry, the rain pelts down, s t ing ing our cheeks, sp lashing our stockings, shea th ing the world in solid ice, while the wind chills us to the very marrow of our bones. And the people who live in th is country say to each other in sa t is -fied tones, "Well , the Spr ing ra ins are beginning."

This is the sort of th ing tha t goes on for months; we see a flash of deceiving sunshine, expect the b lamy air of spr ing, and s tep out-side into the f r ig id blast of a nor thwes ter . And all the while the res idents smile contentedly.

From March till May we expect Spr ing momentar i ly . Then sudden-ly, some morning in May, the tem-pe ra tu re rises overnight f rom zero to ninety in the shade. And it is summer . It remains summer , in-creasingly so, until October.

This, then, is the favor i te Michi-gan myth of Spring. Those of us

who have observed this phenome-non for several years only wish to

warn the young and innocent minds of those who suffer for the first t ime.

Delphi, Tri-Alpha

Hold Joint Meeting The joint meeting of Tri-Alpha

and Delphi was held on Friday night, March 10, in the Tri-Alpha room at Van Raalte Hall. T h e meeting was opened by Tri-A Pres-ident Roger Koeppe, and devotions were led by Gregg Keizer. Right off came the preliminary "shot in the a rm" for the meeting — group singing led by Murray Snow with Betty Van Lente at the piano. Quoth Murray:" 'Funera l director* Brandli picked out the songs; so we sing 'Swing Low, Sweet Char iot.' " After Rog Koeppe's welcome and the roll call, Delphi President, Margorie Emery, took over the meeting.

First up on the "literary side" was "Truth or Consequences" le( by Harland Steele and Constance Crawford. Steele quizzed the ques tions, the contestants whizzed the answers — but all the answers were wrong. So Murray Snow and Gradus Shoemaker \frere given face powder and rouge and told to "make each other beautiful" (their picture will appear on the cover of next month's "Mademoiselle"). "Boots" McCann was next with an impersonation for which she was temporarily awarded a ten-dollar bill — until Keizer made her give it back. Then Sam Pickens and Je r ry Uplegger played a little one-handed handball with an egg; a f t e r Je r ry dropped it, Everett Fikse was recruited to clean up. Last conse-quence was that of Dave Mench-hofer, who sang a wavering solo with great gusto. Owen Koeppe was in charge of the evening's serious paper. His subject was "St. Pat-rick," and he brought out many-interesting "facts-behind-the-head-lines" concerning the illustrious old gent. The last number on the pro-gram was a violin solo by Jeff Wiersum entitled "Estrel l i ta ." Len Sibley was "draf ted" as master critic.

The meeting closed with the sing-ing of the Delphi song and the Hope song and — refreshments.

Prof, and Mrs. John Tuls were the chaperons.

Sorority SOROSIS

Small blue and white striped hat boxes tied with blue ribbon bows formed the programs for the regu-lar meeting of the Sorosis society Friday night, March 10. Fritzi Jonkman, chairman for the meet-ing, opened the program with de-votions, "A bit of lace."

Sorosites then viewed a "H at Parade" as Fritzi modeled several home-made versions of the Easter bonnet and Mildred Scholten read an accompanying script explaining the materials used and the approxi-mate cost. "Bonnet of Blue" was the singing of the song of that name and the old favorite, "Eas ter Parade," by Norma Lemmer, who was joined by the group in the chorus "on the Avenue, 5th Ave-nue." Marge Friesema was her ac-companist.

Bobbie Bilkert furnished the hu-mor number with her crazy ver-sions of spring headgear modeled by Ginny Bilkert and Bobbie Roo-zen. Her "creation by Jon" and "Victory Garden special" along with some GI versions of "the lat-est" were especially popular. Ro-sanna Atkins served as program critic and the meeting adjourned with the singing of the sorority songs.

SIBYLLINE

DELTA PHI

Spring is here. That is, if one is to reckon Spring by the calendar. Delta Phi welcomed it Friday eve-ning, March 17, with a galaxy of colors as bright as Spring itself. The purity and grace of Spring was presented by Pinx Mulder in her leading of devotions. Eleanor Everse suggested many new ideas in the realms of clothes, plans for the post-war future, and morale of daily living. A gay note of red was added by Marge Gyspers in her humor paper on spring romances and vain endeavors for romance. The climax of the evening was at-tained when two former ASTP men were ushered in. Pvts. Bob Rabens and Jerry Rickles gave a touch of the blues, outdoing themselves in a generous rendition of song and dance — on the keyboard. All Del-phians concluded the meeting lust-ily singing the traditional songs. The meeting was in charge of Elaine Prins and Joyce Van Oss.

A meeting in charge of the Sen-ior members is sure to be a success — so — on the evening of March 10, all Sibs gathered in the Sib room expecting an unusually inter-esting meeting. Their hopes were fulfilled and surpassed. Programs similar to small diplomas revealed a schedule comparable to that of almost any Senior on Hope's cam-pus. Chapel, of course, came first. Persis Parker represented this by her well chosen devotions. Bobby Reed, acting as connecting link be-tween classes, then shifted the scene to Annie Laura Parsons whom the open curtains revealed seated at the Tulip enjoying her f ree first hour. A discourse awak-ening many poignant memories in the hearts of the upper classmen and causing many a blush on the faces of the freshmen was carried on by Annie Laura to her imagi-nary friend. No Senior c o l l e g e course would be complete without Modern Poetry. This was brought out by the rendition of three origi-nal poems, one a sonnet, by the author herself, Ruth Van Bronk-horst. Then naturally enough to the practice teachers — came good old Public School Music. With Fri tz Colenbrander looking the perfect picture of the 19th century "school marm," leading in all her little chicks. A humorous glimpse into the ways of lower grade (literally speaking) singing was given the group. Fourth Hour Philosophy was represented by the reading of an excellent paper on "Philosophy of Life" by Mary Blair. The whole society joined in to make the last item on the program, 4 P. M. Choir, a reality.

Last Friday night af ter the regu-lar business meeting, the most im-portant day of the Emerald Isle was celebrated in true Irish style due to the good planning of Vera Pen rungs and Happy Maatman. De-votions were led by Sibylline alum-na, Dorothy Maatman, af ter which Edna Mae Van Tatenhove, accom-panied by Mike Kleis, sang two old Irish melodies — My Wild Irish Rose and When Irish Eyes Are Smiling. Harlene Schutmaat then gave an account of the history of Ireland's St. Patrick, for whom so many wear the green. Jumping from the serious to the ridiculous, a little bit o' blarney was supplied by Mary Blair who, with the aid of quite a bit of extraneous mate-nal , made an extremely realistic Irish washer woman. The program of the evening was closed by. an excellent review of the news by Carol Kile. Special emphasis was given Ireland's recently important place in the world events.

Following the program, their sister Sibs were surprised by a very special tea given by Penny and Happy in honor of their en-gagements which took place Jan. 20 and Feb. 2(5, respectively. The singing of Sib songs and Irish melodies brought an end to the evening.

DORIAN

Eleven girls pledged their loy-alty to the lavender and gold of Kappa Betd Phi, Friday evening, March 10. In the soft glow of can-dlelight, the black robed Dorian seniors escorted the pledges before the president, Marian Sandee, where they knelt to repeat their pledge and to be formally wel-comed into the circle of Dorian. Each new member was pinned with a corsage of pastel sweet peas by their senior escort. In k e e p i n g with the solemnity of the occasion, the Senior members presented the traditional liturgy, which beauti-fully states the purpose of Dorian. After an appropriate scripture reading by secretary, Ruth Ellison, all Dorians donned their outdoor apparel and went to Marian Vande Bunte's home, where a buffet sup-per was served. The new membera are: Marian Korteling, Leona Ov-erbeek, Ruth De Boer, Louise Ter Beek, Betty Kingsfield, Anne Kreu-ger, Dorothy Wenenburg, Gertrude Maasen, Thelma Conk, Ruth Vande Bunte and Helen GofT.

Friday March 17, the Dorian Frosh took advantage of St. Pat-rick's day and the fact that they had formerly been green — v e r y green frosh — by presenting the traditional freshman meeting. The theme was "The Blooming Green." Programs in green and white were given out and the meeting got un-der way with "The Roots" — scrip-ture and prayer by Helen Van Dyke. "The Stem," a serious paper, an account of the life of Ireland's patron saint, was read by Marian Korteling. Leona Overbeek gave a very clever humor paper, "The Bud." Pat De Boer really "blos-somed" in the singing of "You're Irish and Y o u ' r e Beautiful." "Leaves," a very humorous skit, was presented with budding talent by Junella De Kleine, Louise Ter Beek, Adrianna Douma and Fran-cis Van Leeuwen. Betty Kingsfield, program chairman, presented the freshman gif t to the sorority, af ter which refreshments, carrying out the theme of green and white, were served.

Oe stat ioned.

He met a girl named Jean with iong hai r and pre t ty eyes. She had a U-vely sof t voice tha t made

him like her. l ie took her to the movies and for walks th rough the autumn campus. They spent b u g

hours over cokes in the d rugs tore and played their favor i te songs on

the juke box. They liked Shinning Hour and began to call it theii song. They laughed a lot, ana

held hands a lot, and found they liked the same things, and spent

a lot of their spare time together . One night — Jean ' s bi r thday —

ujis very special to them. Gil real-

.zed the world was a nicer place, and he had felt more interested in living since he's met her. The s t a r s

Things have really been happening in the spor t s world. All of the

winter spor t s are winding up their seasons. Spr ing t ra in ing is s ta r t ing

in the big leagues. Let's see; where were we last t ime. Oh. yes; Big

Ten basketball . Our humble apologies for mis-predict ing Purdue a s .

champs. They were all set until the last two games. Well, as you

know. Chicago came through again . They had a few close calls but i

they once again fought successfully through an ALL-BEATEN Big

Ten season. 1 think Hine ought to go home and play for his own ci ty.

Ohio S la te won the championship.

Track 's had a good winter season. Gill Dodds. the divine (sem s tu-

dent from Boston), set a new world's record for the indoor mile. He

made it in 4 min. 7.3 sees., a tenth of a second under Cunningham. A

negro f r e shman f rom Illinois has consistently jumped over 24 ft., and

has twice tied the world's record for the G()-yd. dash. He's called t h e

grea tes t th ing since Jesse Owens.

The Pro Hockey league ended its regular season last week. Montreal

was way out in f ront . They had one of the best won-and-lost records

in the history of the league. Through last Monday they had not been

beaten on home ice. That ' s a new record. Only the top four teams play

off for the Stanley Cup this year . We hope Toronto wins. We a lways hope Toronto wins. Of course, if you want to safely place a li t t le money

you belter put it on Montreal. Jack ' s gym class has been playing a lot of basketball . They split in

their last two games against Army opposition. They also played two swell games with Cr is-Craf t . Final outcome is of little importance.

Tri-Alpha basketball was called off on account of weddings last week.

again. They went on holding hands

and dr inking cokes and scuff ing

through the deep snow and laugh-

ing and jus t being together .

One night when they were listen-

ing to their song and feeling aw-

fully happy, they heard the govern-

ment was closing college uni ts like

the one Gil was in. There were 'n t

any words to say to each other .

They went out inta the night and

walked around the campus and

didn't say much. There was a lump

in Gil's th roa t when he kissed her

goodnight, and Jean felt lost and

alone.

For the next few weeks they

kept doing the th ings they liked—

the things they'd a lways done.

They didn't talk about Gil's leaving

and sometimes they almost fo rgo t

it . . . . and then it was only a

week away.

Gil knew he would never forge t

her pret ty eyes and her lovely hair .

Jean would remember the little

th ings that meant so much to them.

And when he was in a camp or in

the trenches, he would remember

their song and hum it with an emp-

ty feeling in his hear t . And Jean

would wait and hope and remembci .

Pei haps some day when the

world has gotten over going mad

Gil will come ba:'k. and perhaps

he'll meet his Jean again. And

perhaps they'll go on holding hands

and dr inking cokes and laughing

•ml just being together .

H o w do qualifications for W A V ! officers differ f rom those for c.i-listed personnel?

A college degree, or two yearr of college work plus acceptable business or professional experience, is required. Eye and teeth stand-ards arc slightly higher. Women up to 50 years of age are eligible. These arc the principal difTercnccs in requirements.

H o w long are W A V E S on duty daily?

Theoretically, W A V E S are al-ways on duty. Practically, the work is no more arduous than in an eff ic ient ly-managed business. No W A V E candidate, however, should be actuated by a desire for an easy, glamorous life. W A V E S have plenty of time for recreation, but the important thing is to do a job quickly and well and thereby con-tribute toward earlier termination of the war.
