Elementary Club Forms

Explain Purpose of Club

An Elementary Club has been formed for all those interested in elementary teaching. At the ini-tial meeting held in Washington School Wednesday, April 25th, the following officers were elected: President, Marian Mastenbrook; vice-president, Harriet Hains; sec-retary-treasurer, Marian Maurer. Miss Hawes is the faculty advisor for the new club. Helen Wilhelm explained the purpose of the club as follows: 1—to promote a feeling of unity among those who are in-terested in education; 2—to enable education students to keep up on the latest educative theories and progress through outside speakers and discussions; 3—to give the un-derclassmen the advantage of the student teachers' experiences which the contacts of such meetings would a'ford; 4—to provide enjoyment; and 5—to increase interest and to prepare to be better teachers. A highlight on the evening's program was an amusing skit including pan-tomimes illustrating n u r s e r y rhymes. Participants were all members present. The meeting ad-journed after refreshments were served.

Al Staver led the song service and Dick Hine conducted the de-votions. Rosemary Finlaw, accom-panied by Jereen Rynbrandt, sang "He Died For Me."

Tern pus Fugits Tempus Fugit is said to be an

established fact and who am I to dispute an adage that dates way back p. m. (pre-Mussolini) to you all who have no knowledge of basic English, and who has? Any-way, though the weather is no in-dication, the calendar is a fairly good gauge of the time of the year, which in this case, is Spring. (For farther information ask any Hichigander, we are unable to convince those that hail from New York!) But in case you're wonder-ing, this is NOT supposed to be a (dissertation on Mother Nature and her caprice. (See WEBSTER.)

This time sort of is the last lap of School Year lM4-'45, and to many of our number it marks the Qnd of four yean filled with fan.

Junior candidates, reading from left to right: Ruth Ellison, Pat Haskins, Ruth Joldersma, Alan Staver, Lucille Tenninga, Joyce Van Oss.

On Thursday morning. May 17, Hopeites will vote for next year's Student Council president. Sorority and fraternity candidates for this office are Joyce Van Oss, Delphi; Ruth Joldersma, Sorosis; Ruth El-lison, Dorian; Pat Haskins, Sibyl-line; Lucille Tenninga, Thesaurian, and Alan Staver, Tri Apha Elea-nor Everse, present Student Coun-cil president, will introduce these candidates during the chapel serv-ice on the day of the election.

In case of a tie for the office a second election will be held on May Day morning, May 18. Run-ner-up for the presidency will be the vice president next year.

New sorority Student Council representatives are Esther Bogart, Sorosis; Marian Mastenbrook, The-saurian; Louise Ter Beek, Dorian; Betty Van Lente, Delphi.

A joint social meeting of both the old and new Student Councils is scheduled for the near future. The qualifications of the candidates are given below.

Ellison

Ruth Ellison needs no introduc-tion to the student body. Her friendly smile, her cheery laugh, and her energetic way of walking across campus is familiar to both dorm and town students.

During the three years that Ruth has been on the campus she has proven her leadership abili-ties, her executive talents and her enthusiasm for all activities which aim to make the student relation-ships better and give a well round-ed college program. She has par-ticipated in Palette and Masque, Glee Club, choir, French Club, and is a member of Pi Kappa Delta. She is on the business staff of the Anchor, and secretary for the Dorian Society.

In her junior year Ellison has been secretary of houseboard, a member of the Milestone business staff, secretary of Pan Hellenic, A.D.D. She gained valuable ex-perience on the Student Council in her service as Social Chairman for this year. She is serving on the May Day committee.

She has assumed an important role in our war effort, as one of the faithful, hardworking Nurses' Aides a t Holland Hospital.

As a conscientious student Ruth has earned the respect of the fac-ulty. Already the Dorm girls have expressed their confidence in her abilities of leadership by electing her prexy of all the dorms for next year. Her sympathy for the problems of the students; her re-spect of tiie wishes of the Board of Trustees and the faculty, as well as her deep feeling for the traditions of Hope will , help her to expedite to the best advantage of all the duties of the president of Student Council

Haskin

Efficiency and the willingness to do a job well are two chief char-acteristics essential in any campus leader, and president of Student Council is no exception. Pa t Has-

kin fulfills both these requirements with capabilities to spare. Pat has beAi especially prominent in Mu-sical Arts Club, W.A.A. Student Council and lending a willing hand in any campus activity that need-ed furthering.

Joldersma

The Sorosis Society appointed Ruth Joldersma as their candidate for the position of Student Council president because we feel that in doing so we have put up a girl with outstanding qualities of lead-ership, personality, c h a r a c t e r , poise, and ability.

Joldy has been an active con-tributor to the Anchor for three years and is now editor-in-chief. Her many editorials have shown a keen interest in campus affairs and an awareness of the student problems at Hope. As a member of house board, she has shown her ability to formulate and present new ideas, which culminated in our new "honor system."

Joldy has been very active in her sorority and is next year's p r e s i d e n t of the Pan-Hellenic Board. During her junior year, Joldy also worked at the American Red Cross, when she exercised her ability to cope with all kinds of situations, and developed a knack for dealing with people. Serving in this capacity she has also learned to use her executive abil-ity. However, she is not working off campus next year.

With the above attributes in mind, we elected Joldy, because we think she can do the job and do it well.

Staver

Tri-Alpha's candidate for stu-dent prexy is Alan Staver. Al is so well-known on campus, that his abilities and personality really need little elaboration.

However, Alan has shown his leadership and executive ability in his capable editing of the 1945 Milestone. He has served as vice-president of his class as a Sopho-more and at present is the presi-dent of the Junior class. Staver is serving as Tri-Alpha prexy and has just become a member of Pi Kappa Delta. For the past three years, Staver has served in vari-ous capacities on the Y. M. cabinet — as Personal Service chairman. Mission chairman and Deputation chairman. He has been active in Debate, Oratory and Alpha Chi.

With next year's student body composed of quite a number ot returned service men, no doubt, it will be necessary to have a pres-ident of Student Council who will be able to cope with new condi-tions, and make the council a real governing body.

Need more be said about Stav-er's capability, earnestness, co-operation and executive ability? If ttiere is a job to be done Staver is the man to do i t

To Dr. Wichers For thirty full and useful years you have been part of the life

of Hope College — shaping the lives of its students — guiding the destinies of their Alma Mater.

As a teacher, your great sympathy, love and understanding have left their imprint upon the lives of the men and women who have been under your guidance. Like the ever-widening ripples created by the casting of a stone into the still waters, your influence upon the lives of the generations will know no end. ' As President of our godly institution, you have walked in the footsteps of the Master, leading the way to new heights of wis-dom and accomplishment.

As you leave the halls you love so well, we would have you know that you do not go alone—the affection and devoted interest of your students, your associates and your Church will be with you in your new field of endeavor.

The measure, pressed down and running over, that Hope College will ever remember you. Well done thou good and faith-ful servant."

Given under our hands in humble and affectionate tribute at the arfnual dinner of the New York Chapter of the Hope College Alunirii Association, this twenty-fourth day of April in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and forty-five.— (New York Alumni Chapter.)

How Does Hope Look To The Service Man Have you considered how Hope College looks to the re-

turn ing service man? Do we need to change? Maybe we don't, but let 's seriously look at ourselves. If we meet the requirements — fine. If we don't, we had better s tar t chang-ing — and fas t .

The re turning service man has matured. He has lived eternities in a few seconds. His a t t i tude toward life and the world has grown and strengthened. How will our evaluations and at t i tudes measure up to him?

How do we judge a personality? Is charm and physical prowess our criterion in judging a man? If it is we will have to change — grow up. Many will re turn with a limb or an arm tha t doesn't function too readily. Will that alter our atti tude toward these men? Remember within that man beats a human heart — onf* craving companionship and the comradeship of campus life. American youth is so apt to judge by exteriors. We love a uniform and are natural hero-worshippers. Remember that the man without the uniform is still the same as the be-ribboned G. I. we so enthusiasti-cally hailed.

The service man is accustomed to living in a serious man's world. Over-emphasis of college fads, queen elections and tradi t ions seems a bit silly to him. Returned G. I's have been heard to remark, "Can' t they grow up?", "Must they chat-ter?" , and "Can ' t they discuss serious subjects?"

These men have been through unutterable horrors. It will be hard for them to settle down to study. Their nerves will have been tried to capacity so that little things will upset them.

Let 's not be caught napping when the G. I.'s come home. They have done so much for us. Making college more to their taste and liking is the least we can do for them.

Why Not Argentina? Many and varied are the problems being raised at the

San Francisco conference of world powers. The most that can be hoped for is open discussion, f ree exchange of thoughts and ideas and generous interpretat ion of demands. It is beyond the present capacity of men of widely variant cultures to solve their respective problems — compromise measures and total concessions will be the ultimate end; but a worthy conclusion to any such world gathering.

San Francisco is much more a world conference than was the one in 1919. This time there are 46 nations represented as opposed to the 21 last time. Thus it would seem that we are making progress toward international unity beyond the evidence of three years of close cooperation in the prosecu-tion of the war . However it is not the task of this confer-ence to write the terms of the t reat ies which will ultimately be imposed on a defeated Germany and a defeated Japan. It is ra ther to manufacture the machinery of a new league of nations which will defend the peace once it is won. This is the indispensible s ta r t ing point. From there the differ-ences will run their course and reach a final decision.

On April 30, Molotof touched off a heated debate by refus-ing to acede to the demands of the other united powers, espe-cially the Latin American delegation, to give Argentina a seat at the conference. Inasmuch as Argentina was veritably "pushed into" the fulfillment of demands imposed by the Mexico City Conference to declare war on the axis, it seemed only fair and just that she be given the reward of such action; despite the fact tha t such action would infur ia te Russia.

It is not fo r us now to take time to regret our vote of confidence in allowing Argent ina a seat on The Security Council, but to labor toward f u r t h e r goals of world co-operation and unity. If we feel compelled to jus t i fy this deed of good faith, let it be pr imari ly on the grounds of historical evidence; dat ing back to Argent ina ' s entreaties in 1919 that the United States join the League Of Nations and our subsequent, repeated refusals . Argentina recognized in us a f r iend well worth cult ivating but we cut her short with cur t refusals . On another occasion the opportunity was pre-sented us to assist Argentina in set t l ing a dispute with Chile but again we turned her down; allowing Germany to mediate and by so doing to carve a toe-hold in the manipulation of the Argentine government. (Thus the origin of Argen-t ina ' s ill. repute with the Soviet Union over the Facist fla-vored the Buenos Aires government.) Time and again Argen-t ina has manifested her f r iendly interest and fa i th in the United States by her desires to formula te mutually beneficial t rade agreements. A brief spur t of interest s temming from our Good Neighbor Policy attempted trade but narrow-

m u a i c

Mrs. Snow is developing a pho-

bia on cars. If she isn't asking for them at every rehearsal, her twins are prowling in the side aisle to "plead the cause" for the family car. We should invest in a trans-port!

The Muskegon trip turned out very well. In fact, we have an engagement at Unity Reformed next year — already. May 20 will find us in Coopersville for an evening service, and that should end the galivanting for this year.

V-E day, the end of hostilities in-Europe, is the day we have been

(praying for. An impressive chapel service at which both Glee Club and choir renders numbers, is Hope's way of celebrating.

Only three more weeks left in this semester, and such a busy time! Ruth Ann's recital, which we are all looking forward to, will be on the 22nd of this month, A varied and delightful program of vocal music is being planned, and you won't want to miss it. so keep that date in mind.

The next evening a voice recital will be given in the Chapel by stu-dents studying voice. That, too, sounds like an interesting program.

The Memorial Sen-ice for Hope men is to be held Thursday morn-ing at 11:00 A. M. This will be a very impressive sen-ice and one of preat tribute to those who have given their lives for us. The choir will sing the anthem, "Souls of the Righteous," a fitting tribute.

If anyone is planning on going home early this year, don't let them leave before the Glee Club concert which will be given the Monday evening before commence-ment. From now on this concert during commencement week will be a tradition of the Glee Club. Something especially intriguing and unique is being planned for following the recital. Tell you more later.

Dear G. I. Hope, Greetin's and Salutations from

ye olde Hope. Final exams and term papers have been creeping up on us and some day not too far off we're going to get caught in that booby trap — woe is us!!! In other words everything is snafu on the campus as it has always been. Now for the news —

Sgt. Charles Claver writes from "Somewhere in the ETO": "I've been assigned to the Gliderborne Infantry of the famous IGlst Air-borne Division somewhere in the European Theater of Operations. It is a far cry from the peaceful atmosphere of 01' Hope, but we all hope to be back soon. There are great days ahead for Hope College, so carry on the tradi-tions till we all get back."

Ens. Hob Lucking dropped us a line from Seattle, Washington. "This station is undergoing a change at present. Our duties as a Receiving Station will primarily be to receive men for further trans-fer and further assignment. They are sent to us to await orders to ships afloat and overseas bases as well as assignments in the States. My particular job as Disbursing Officer is to see that these men are paid promptly and regularly. Until I started this work I never knew that so many men could be so broke most of the time. It is common knowledge that sailors do spend their money foolishly, but nobody gets rich in the Navy, either.

Evidently the Navy has forgot-ten that I'm still here. Ever since the first of this year I have been expecting that any day might be my last in Seattle. Although Se-attle is a pretty city and a good place to be I still am anxious to leave for parts unknown. The old adage among the old regular Navy men is "The worst shore duty is better than the best sea duty." I can't resign myself to the fact that there is much truth in the state-ment; I must find out for myself. This is my 10th month here and surely it can't last much longer.

I have read lately about the new Victory Ships being named after certain colleges. Now I'm very glad to hear that one is to bear the name of Hope — she will be a great ship."

; The Anchors have had difficulty finding T/4 Wendell Anderson, he writes:

"My frequent change of address comes as a result of enemy action. The latter part of last November my outfit moved from England to the continent, and within a short time found itself on the front lines. Things happened pretty fast then, and before I knew it, I was on my way back to the hospital in England. I was a company aid man (medic) and at the wrong time I put a little too much faith in my red cross brassard. I must have been a good target because some jJerry sniper didn't have much trouble sending a slug through both my legs. Since then about three and a half months have passed, and I'm now getting ready for a return engagement (or as the fellows over here say 'sweating out the front,' hoping that the war is over before they have to go back.)"

Lt. Tony Kempker, USAAF, is stationed somewhere in France. He has already completed fifteen mis-sions and has been awarded the Air Medal with two Oak Leaf Clusters and the soldiers' medal.

Cpl. John Massen writes news of some of our Hope gang — "You may be interested in knowing that this company has a strong Holland contingent and that some of us have a special interest in Hope. There is Pfc. George Damveld Ro-meyn who attended the Alma Mater during '40-'42, Pfc. Irving Lemmen whose sister Shirley is a Senior. All three of us were in-ducted at the same time, sweated it out at the same induction center, and were assigned to the same out-fit and underwent identical tech-nical training/'

15th AAF in Italy — 2nd Lt. Henry Hoekman has arrived a t a 15th Air Force bomber base in Italy and has been assigned to a veteran B-17 Flying Fortress group with which he will fly as pilot in the final all-out air assault on Germany.

The Fortress group Lt. Hoekman has joined is one of the major striking units of the 15th Air Force which recently brought its "Battle of Oil" in southern and eastern Europe to a successful conclusion. It has flown more than 450 bomb-ing missions in its 32 months over-seas and previously was based in England and North Africa.

Since the record breaking long distance mission to Berlin made by the Italy-based Fortresses of the 15th AAF on March 24, when tank works were bombed and which marked the end of the "Battle of Oil," the heavy bombers have been going out in full strength against communications targets, attacking railway bridges and yards along the supply lines tj) the German armies opposing the Russians in Austria, the Partisans in Yugo-slavia and the American and Brit-ish armies and their allies in Italy.

Lt. Hoekman has been in the Air Corps since February, 1943, en-listing while a student at Hope College, Holland, from which he graduated before leaving to begin (lying training.

Receiving his wings at Pecos, Texas, in June, 1(J44, Lt. Hoek-man went through Fortress tran-sition training and was then as-signed to the Mediterranean thea-ter of operation. He and his crews are members of the legendary Short Snorter's Club, having flown the Atlantic.

l.')th AAF in Italy — For his skill and daring as a P-51 Mus-tang fighter pilot, First Lt. Gerard E. Cook has been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.

Members of a 15th Air Force fighter group commanded by Col. Marion Malcolm of San Antonio, Texas, Lt. Cook was cited for "out-standing courage and navigational skill" during a bomber escort mis-sion to Germany. While enroute to the target one pilot was forced to bail out over the sea. Despite the adverse weather, Lt. Cook led his formation down and circled the pilot's dinghy.

Nothwithstanding the rain, fog and thunderstorm in the areas, and the proximity to enemy shores, Lt. Cook circled above the pilot for two hours, and "because of his prompt and courageous action, a successful rescue was effected."

Lt. Cook also holds the Air Med-al with four Oak Leaf Clusters, and is authorized to wear the badge of the Distinguished Unit Citation

presented to his group. The group to which he is as-

signed is a veteran of overseas service with more than 400 aerial victories. Since the first of this year the group has been actively supporting the Russian offensive by escorting bombers to and at-tacking vital industrial, communi-cations' and rail targets feeding supplies to the Eastern front.

A P-51 Mustang pilot of the leading fighter group of the Med-iterranean theater, Kenneth M. Leighton, received his advanced training at Eagle Pass, Texas, and was commissioned August 1, 1943. Lt. Leighton joined the 31x1 Fighter Group at its Italian base on December H, 1944, and flew his first combat mission over Moose-bierbaum, Austria, on February 1, 1945.

One of the oldest AAF fighter groups in point of combat flying against the Nazis, the 3Ist, recent-ly gained lop place for serial vic-tories in the Mediterranean theater when it shot down 21 Nazis on the last day of March and boosted its total to 509, of which Leighton's squadron has accounted for 180. The 31st also participated in the historic mission against a Berlin target by the 15th Air Force, in which this Mustang group bagged five of the eight jet-propelled MK-262's credited to the 15th's fighters over the German capital.

Corporal Arthur Slager is a member of the I05(h Fighter Group which has been awarded the Pres-idential Unit Citation for its part in smashing a German armored counter-attack during the Allied sweep through France last fall.

Lt. Scotting Scott officially known as Audrey has been sta-tioned at Percy Jones Memorial Hospital here in Michigan. Re-cently Scotty put Hope on the map when her picture appeared in the May issue of "Madamoiselle." She was demonstrating the work of a physiotherapist.

It really begins to look as though the end of this mess is in sight — there's going to be a great day in Holland when you come back! Keep slugging; we are with you in the Spirit of Hope.

minded isolationism soon cut this short. Be it for us not to condemn Argentina unjustly — we

have never given this South American country a fair chance to prove her worth. Argentina is an adolescent nation — torn by emotionality and conflicting desires; bursts of energy expanded first for one cause then for another, antithetical to the original. Let us with open-mindedness view the progress of Argentina toward stability as exemplified by her reactions at San Francisco; encouraging all attempts at con-formity and understanding with patience any moments of digression.

I Saw Life Today

1 saw hate today in the eyes of a German youth, charging out

Of the burning ruins of Berlin— into the valley of death.

I saw hate today in the eyes of a Yankee marine, firing from

A foxhole in the Pacific — firing for lifp and victory.

I saw fear today in the eyes of a Japanese girl, watching a

Formation of bombers cross her sky — leaving nothing but de-struction.

1 saw hunger today in the eyes of a Dutch girl, standing homeless

And alone by her dead parents waiting for wars to cease.

1 saw a conference table in San Francisco today where men of all nationalities and

Countries were united, planning for peace — and I prayed for their success.

Then: I saw love today in the eyes of

a newly married couple. Sitting in a crowded restaurant

— oblivious of anyone but each other.

1 saw love today in the eyes of a proud mother and father,

Looking at their young son — now appearing old in his navy blues.

1 saw love today in the eyes of a young mother, wheeling her baby son

Down a sunny street — waiting for the father he had never seen.

1 saw the tender look in my mother's eyes and felt the light kiss

She left on my cheek and knew that 1 was loved.

I saw love today in the chirp of a robin feeding her young, and

The song of an oriole to his mate. 1 believed that God is love.

George Poppen concluded the of-ficial section of the program with a very fitting prayer for the youth of the world.

Brandli up to bat again led the group in a series of songs inter-rupted by Staver beating on the table with the gavel, more plugs for the Funeral Home, Brooklyn news, and General Chatter (nice man).

In a much more serious vein, Dick Vriesman read a serious paper of his own composition, title unknown. I'd like to think it could be called "They Fall, But to Rise Again," or "Death Be Their Vic-tory." It was truly an appealing and touching paper.

Again in the musical mood of the evening, Cal Jean Hermance blossomed forth with a new, as yet unrevealed talent and sang beauti-

Alumni Continued from Page 1

April 27. At 7:30, forty-seven Alumni and friends retired to the First Reformed church for an evening of song and fellowship. The president. Rev. Reinhardt Van Dyke, had each one present intro-duce the person on his right which brought forth timely comments and good humor. Rev. Henry Burg-graafT led the singing, ending up with several hymns and the Alma Mater.

A motion was made and seconded that a resolution be drawn up by the Executive Committee concern-ing the long service of Dr. Wich-ers in connection with Hope Col-lege, one copy to be sent to Dr. Wichers and one placed in the rec-ord book.

A prayer by President Van Dyke was offered for the ten Alumni serving in the armed forces of our country: 1 gold star for Rev. Clark Poling, Army Chaplain; 1 in the Army Nurse Corps, Miss Katherine Ives; 1 in the Navy, Harry Smith;

other Army Chaplains, Rev. Ern-est Crounse, Rev. Harold Hoff-man, Rev. Ed. Swarthout; and 4 in the army, Phillips Abel, Frank Clowe, John Colby, and Richard Johnson.

A poem entitled "Farewell To Dr. Wichers" was written and read by Phillip Engel of Ghent, N. Y.

Officers elected for the ensuing year were: President, Rev. Chris-tian Walvoord, Canajoharie, N. Y.; Vice-President, Mrs. Maurice Sny-der, Ghent, N. Y'.; Secretary, Miss Virginia C. Freligh, Schenectady, N. Y.; Treasurer, Rev. Henry Burggraaff, Watervliet, N.Y.

fully the semi-classical song, "By the Lend in the River." Jumping from the sublime to the ridiculous her next song was dedicated to Ted Boeve, "I Can't Say No" from the musical "Oklahoma." The male reactions to this song were aw-fully encouraging for Hope; far from reserved, but obviously quite normal. "I'm hard to get — just ask me. If you want me all you have to do is whistle" — Hubba Hubba!!

After the commotion had quieted down enough for Al Staver to be heard, he announced the next con-testant, Miss Joyce Sibley. Joyce's humor paper was a masterpiece of originality. She was able with wit, wisdom, and wise-cracks to put everyone in their original places. She is now lauded in the same category as Keats, Shelley, and Shakespeare. Previous h u m o r turned green around the gills af ter her recitation. Just call me "I-got-a-million-just-like-'em" Sibley.

Master Critic and "filibusterer" Al Rypstra shining in Sibley's re-flected glory, was not outdone even though he did have a "double-fine" doom hanging over his head. The "professor" got in a few good ones, which no one appreciated more than himself. How do we know Heinz comes in 57 different varie-ties when there's only one connois-seur?

Spring Spirit Prevailed Af Thesaurian Meeting

With the sophomores in charge, the spirit of the evening seemed to be filled with spring — May bas-kets, May poles. Tulips, walks in the park, and anything one might do in May. Martha Van Saun opened the meeting with appropri-ate devotions, and Marian Dame sang "Song to a Red Rose"—blush-ing just a little. Margaret White read a serious paper on the origin and truly great symbolism of Moth-er's Day. It was then Mickey Fel-ton's turn to lead the group sing-ing. "Songs My Mother Taught Me" was the first number, af ter which "Wait for Me Mary" was sung to a certain member who al-ways hums a little tune about just kissing a picture good-night — in-cidentally, her mother didn't teach her that one. "Strolling Through the Park One Day" and others, were sung, reminding one of "when in spring a young man's fancy turns." Betty Timmer rendered a truly great humor paper on "Spring Activities in Van Vleck and Voorhees." Just because there is a war, it was decided that af ter all, nothing was lacking in that line. Ann Fikse commented on this in her critic's report, saying that after all, Leap Year didn't have anything on 1945.

QUESTION OF TIIE WEEK: How to combat the travel situa-tion, or is this trip necessary, as Mr. Vriesman says when he falls over his own feet. Anyhoo, Ann Marie Wyngarden and Ruth Har-meling waxed patriotic in travel-ing homeward. Nice trip, gals?

And Vera Pennings with the blessing of Dr. Dimnent and Mrs. Gomez headed for her true love in Iowa.

FLASH: Joldy is dieting, so in case you see a shadow walking around with a deep voice, don't get it mixed up with Yehudi.

TWOSOME OF THE WEEK: Still headed by Ronnie and Walt, often seen entering Post's and Wil-liam's and they won't live in Zee-land. (Already Ronnie has begun a record collection for the future.) Now that Murray Snow has finally left for Illinois, Betty Kingsfield has changed her theme song from "Let's Take the Long Way Home" to "I'll Walk Alone."

HOT OFF THE WIRES: Dottie Atkins' is furlough-dating in Chi-cago with Eddy, her Navy man. Marcia DeYoung received D i c k Fairchild's class ring. Dick is now afraid that she is Chinese because she always walks with her arms folded. Were you the third child, Marcia?

The Musical Jamboree ended with the songs of the respective organi-zations, after which apples, donat-ed by the "You-need-your-vitamins society," were distributed and

chewed between Parlor Chatter (the General's wife) and Al Ryp-stra's imitation of Lauren Bacall.

Finally all the men were made "unavailable" so the rest of the girls stayed and cleaned up.

"Stuff Like That There," "I Want to Be Married," and now that term papers are over, "Two Sleepy Peo-ple" rendered by Stinky and Mary Liz.

Prophesies for the Future: The Fikse-Poppen-Timmer triangle will climax soon. Mickey Felton and Pat Patterson will soon be koffee-kletzing again. The man-about-town position lately vacated by The Mr. Danhof, due to conditions be-yond his control, will soon be filled by Don Huan Muddell. Muddell's press agent, Campus-Champion-Ice-Cream-Eater Hinga, states that Jimmy takes history just to learn the latest techniques from the other male members of the class. Have you seen him in the Kletz with different coke dates every day?

Tid-Bits: Have you noticed the short hair behind Laura Johnson's ear? She has successfully solved the problem of what to do with gum at the dinner table, but it took scissors to remedy the solu-tion. And Jane Mikula, otherwise known as Fichtner, has been seen riding around in a blue car, looking happy as a bride.

Now with lotions of HOPE, this is Whosit, signing off. Any simi-larity to any other column is pure-ly on purpose.

Candidates Continued from Page 1

the Thesaurian Society to be a candidate for the presidency of Student Council, is a true Hope co-ed. The many activities which make her eligible for the position of presidency are many. While at the Chicago University, she was an active member of the freshmen class and a holder of offices in sev-eral clubs. Upon her arrival at Hope's campus she has made her-self equally well known as a good and cooperative worker. She is vice president of Scalpel Club, vice president of the Thesaurian So-rority, a member of the Pan-Hellenic Board, p r e s i d e n t of A.D.D., and also business manager of A.D.D. Lucille is a capable worker and has showed that she can hold responsible positions.

Van Oss

Delphi wishes to present Joyce Van Oss, Holland junior, as its candidate for the Student Council presidency because it feels that she has both the necessary experience and personal qualifications to fill the office.

She has been prepared for this position by being active in Student Council and the paper in high school.

For the past year Joyce has served as secretary of the Student Council thereby becoming familiar with the workings of the organi-zation.

Joyce's leadership is obviously expressed in her campus activi-ties. She has served ' during the past year as associate editor of the Anchor, as a member of the Milestone business staff and as a member of English Majors and Palette and Masque.

Wq also feel that Joyce's per-sonal qualifications make her espe-cially eligible for this position. Her straightforward manner, ability to organize and preside effectively, her hard working persistance as shown in her extremely high schol-astic record, all contribute to her eligibility.

We quizzed around to see what some of the gang are going to miss most when they leave HOPE. Some gave nostalgic answers, some gave facetious ones, some didn't know because they haven't I'eft yet, and some preferred not to give out at all. But here is the general idea at least.

Milly Scholten said (with tongue in cheek, I think), that she is going to miss her first hour, daily trek after rolls for the Kletz. You know how some people are though . . . live to eat.

Connie Crawford will miss all her class discussions, and the dimly lighted library. She seems t« get a heck of a lot of work done for not being able to see anything!

Jane Smies De Witt is going to miss just having to sit and dream of Bill, but she is not griping, are you Janie?

Happy Maatman is going to miss her eight o'clock appointment at Chapel, but aren't we all ?

Rosanna A t k i n s , Mary Liz Aldrich, and OTHERS won't like not being able to go au CLUB MODELE for gab sessions and stuff like that there.

Rose O'Day can't quite FEAT-URE herself not being on the ANCHOR. Ouch! And I have been told time and again that the pun is the lowest fonn of wit!

Ethelyn Van Leeuwen will miss

THE KIBITZER

. . . . by Viv Dykema For the third time in the last 14 years, the Toronto Maple

Leafs have annexed the National Hockey League Championship in the Stanley Cup playoff by defeating the Detroit Red Wings. 2-1, in the seventh and deciding game of the playoff finals. Although six Toronto players had been under medical care for the last week, they didn't have the appearand of cripples in the winning game. They had their first score in less than six minutes and protected it for 42 minutes before the Wings tied the score. It was only four minutes later that the I^afs came right back to get in front, and stay there. The result was lhat Toronto went home with the coveted trophy and a pot of gold.

The hunt for the commissioner of baseball has finally resulted

in Albert B. Chandler being chosen unanimously by the sixteen major league owners. The senator from Kentucky is practically the exact opposite of the late Kenesaw M. Landis who ruled with an iron hand. Chandler has been nicknamed "Happy" for his cheerful disposition and he seldom gets angry or arbitrary. His first job will be to keep baseball going for the duration. After the war, he will have quite a job in settling any controversies arising between returned servicemen who were former players and the present players. Happy Chandler was picked from a field of more than 100 candidates. His salary will be $50,000 a year. Already he has expressed his views on whether 4-F,8 should be allowed to play baseball. The commissioner said, "If we can't spare 400 or 500 of the 4,000,000 4'F's for the sport the servicemen want, we can't whip anybody." Chandler discussed the matter with President Truman, who said that he would "look into the matter."

The baseball season is in full swing with time off occasionally because of the uncooperative weatherman. The Yanks and the Giants are on top in their respective leagues, but the Cubs are not fa r behind the Giants or the White Sox and Tigers far behind the Yanks. The St. Louis Browns have made a slow start in defend-ing their title. They raised their first American league flag at a night tilt with the Cleveland Indians, but they lost the game, 2-1. Al Benton and Trout of the Tigers and Bill Voiselle of the Giants all have 3-0 records. There have been nine shutouts so far, and every mound crew except Detroit has given up at least one homer. New, or should it be oddity, of the week, however, is that Ernie Lombardi beat out a bunt!!
