The. only requirement for membership is the completion of one year of college German or two years of high school instruction in the language.

Japanese students, former internees, enrolled at Hope this year. Left to right, Ayaka Shintaku, Sumiye Konoshima. f all of you hardened Easterners and Mid-Westerners are complaining about this "Michigan Weather," think of how it would feel had you been brought up in sunny California, where the only rain is "Drizzling Coca Cola." That is exactly what Ayako Shintaku and Sumiye Konoshima, our two Japanese-American students, think, for Ayako has never yet experienced a snowfall. Ay a, who is sixteen, was born in California, attending the public school through the eighth grade. She was then sent with her parents to the Pastom nternment Camp in Arizona, where she attended high school. She is now living with the Rev. Marion DeVelder. Majoring in languages, Aya finds that even being able to speak the Japanese language does not help Scalpel Club Under Dr. Vergeer Studies Biology This school year of , Scalpel Club presents to the Hopeite interested in the field of Biology a way to broaden his interest and knowledge in it. What is Scalpel Club, frosh? t's a departmental club formed especially for premedics, pre-nursing and Biology majors, under the capable guidance of our faculty adviser. Dr. Teunis Vergeer. Science courses are a prerequisite to join so only advanced students will be admitted. Weather Bolsters Hope Spirits at Beach Party Barbecues, corn-on-the-cob and baked beans were compensation for the cold weather on the All- College Beach Party held last Saturday. Other bolsters to Hope spirit were the faculty vg. student baseball game, a "truth and consequence" session, and the relays directed by Bunny Goff. To climax events Jack Stegeman, clean-up chairman, put Frosh boys in action. her with her principal conjugations. parts and Petite eighteen-year-old Sumi lived in an nternment Camp in Wyoming with her parents until 1943 when the family moved to New York City. She found the "big town" quite different from the farm in California. She attended George Washington high school in New York, but is still quite partial to the California school, speaking directly for the Chamber of Commerce, unquote. Living six miles out of town near Tunnel Park, Sumi finds it rather difficult to get in to school. She is taking a general course, is interested in Sports, likes Music, and plays the violin, or, as she so aptly put it, "plays at it." We hope Aya and Sumi come to love Hope as we do. Juniors Elect Meeusen as Officers are Chosen Tuesday, September 26, marked the first meeting of the year of the class of 1947 for the election of new officers. The YMCA room provided the scene for this event. Under the leadership of their former president. Bill Haak, the floor was opened for nominations for president. Elaine Meeusen was elected, and continued the meeting by opening the remainder of the nominations. Phyllis Voss was elected vice-president; Marian Dame elected as secretary; and John Mooi was elected as treasurer. The juniors have launched a successful year under the capable leadership of their newly elected officers.

President Wilbur Brandli has appointed John DeVries as music chairman to replace Tim Harrison, who has recently joined the Navy. Lubbers Speaks on Marks of a Christian "The Marks of a Christian," namely a love for God and a love for our neighbor, was the theme of the message which Dr. rwin J. Lubbers presented to the members of the Y organizations at the opening meeting of the year in the Memorial Chapel. Using personal experiences as illustrations, he drew a clear picture of how we may learn to love our neighbor, and with a true love for oar neighbor we, too, have a love for God. He left us with the challenge to "Commit our ways unto the Lord." Allan Staver was in charge of devotions, and Mrs. Frieda Grote Wezeman, accompanied by Betty Van ^ente, sang a solo entitled "Jerusalem," by Mendelssohn. the Wednesday publishing from two to three in the afternoon. We are respectfully requesting the student body and faculty to co-operate with us.

The club is under the direction )f Harriet Van Donkelaar, presilent; Alice Laughlin, vice-president; Luella Pyle, secretary-treasurer; Joanne Decker, corresponding secretary; and Elaine Bielefeld, debate manager. P & M Outline Busy Season Next Monday Palette and lasque will hold its first regular meeting.

President Elsie Parsons will preview the club activities for the year, and new members will take part in charades. Palette and Masque has already held two organization meetings with its new sponsor. Dr. John Hollenbach. The following major productions were decided upon: a Homecoming play, a Christmas play, a three-act play for second semester, and a May Day play. Religious plays will also be prepared. Joanne Decker has appointed senior chairmen for all the meetings. Among other things the meetings will treat radio skits, dramatists' lives, and current Broadway plays. Staver, Bielefeld To Present Green To The Officers On Friday night at 8:00 the traditional All-College Mixer will be held in the Carnegie Gymnasium. At this time all freshmen will don their "green," which will remain their identification for months to come. Along with the "green" come the following rules which are a must with all freshmen: (1) All frosh fellows must "pot" to upper-classmen with a sweeping bow, and "frosh" girls must make a pleasing curtsey. (2) Freshmen must wear their "green" at all times, on and off the campus, in and out of Holland. Only on Sundays are they exempt from these Frosh Discuss Plans For Later Meetings At a meeting in the YWCA room last Friday night at 7:30, the Freshmen girls, with Jean and Janet Snow in charge, planned the organization of a Freshmen Girls' Club to be sponsored by the Pan- Hellenic Board. Ruth Joldersma, Pan-Hellenic take place, giving each class an president, and Libby Romaine, explained the new system of a fresh- talents. Al Rypstra will act equal opportunity to display its as men organization, recounting wfiy the old plan was discarded And suggesting things to considqr in the makeup of their organization. For the next two weeks Freshmen girls are to be thinking about permanent officers. Until then, temporary- co-chairmen of the club are Bea Lockwood and Arlene Wieten. This new organization, besides fulfilling the original purpose of avoiding disappointments and rush, regretted decisions, will also enable town and dorm girls to meet and know each other. Enrollment ncrease Brings Total Close To Pre-War Status Hope's enrollment was still on the increase when this week two more returning veterans enrolled, boosting the total to 364 with 263 girls and 101 boys. This is the highest enrollment since war took away most of Hope's male influence. And we love it! Hubba! Hubba!! Michigan rates highest in number of students with 229, 105 of which come from Holland alone. New York sends 46 women and 8 men. New Jersey 20 women, 8 men, and llinois 20 women and 3 men. There are two coeds which claim ndia as sacred home ground and one fellow who gives the West ndies as his home. owa sends six corn-fed, 'rarin'- to-go' students, ndiana three, Pennsylvania divides the honors, sending one man and one young lady. Massachusetts and Washington meet in the middle each state sending one girl for said purpose. Wisconsin completes roll call with ten candidates for Hope's degree. Class of '46 Elects Laughlin as Prexy The class of 1946 held its final elections in the college chapel on Wednesday, September 26. The former president, Al Staver, was replaced by Alice Laughlin. The new vice-president will be Jim Muddel, while Betty Fuller will act as secretary. Gerrit Levey will hold the office of class treasurer. The seniors can justifiably look forward to a most successful year at Hope. Remember... stood on the steps of Van Vleck, quietly contemplating my first two years at Hope. t seemed but yesterday that a rather frightened, confused freshman had first entered these mystifying portals of rules. (3) After 10:30 all freshmen must be off the streets. (4) No Freshman, either male or female, may date an upperclassman except on Sunday and special meeting nights.

Following the singing the "mighty" seniors will present their program which has been planned by Elsie Parsons. The next fifteen minutes of entertainment will be provided by the juniors under the leadership of Gertrude Vredeveld. At this point in the program Dr. rwin J. Lubbers will give an in- "ormal talk. The sophomores will then be given their chance on the program; the director for the events is Louise Rove. The last number on the program, fitting to their lowly position, will be the Freshmen led by Arlene Wieten. Pots Bestowed First to be adorned with the inevitable green will be Peggy Prins, the freshman student council representative, and Dick Van Dorn, president of the senior class. Elaine Bielefeld, W.A.L. president, and Al Staver, student council president, will do the honors, namely, that of placing the pots on their heads.

Always with the close of a war, there is a loud cry by many people to get back to "normalcy." t seems also that these people have never learned from history the lesson that we can't go back to "normalcy" that we can't stay in one place that either we must advance and progress, or that we must entirely disintegrate. Vet, people still insist that we must get "normalcy" m every phase of human life after such a horrible, blood-spilling, nerve-breaking slaughter or how else will the world ever become the same. And here we may ask another pertinent question do we want the world "the same?" Do we, here on Hope's campus, want the life about us to go on as before? Two answers can be heard to this question, Yes and No. Yes we want Hope to continue in its fine academic reputation; Yes we want Hope to maintain the wonderful Christian spirit and to retain its religious emphasis; Xas we want to resume Hope's role in College Athletics; Yes we want to be able to share in the active social program that lias always been characterized by fellowship and fun. Now for the negative answer No we want college life to "grow up" and take its rightful place as a training center for young men and women who must build the peace. War lias done at least one good thing for college folk; it has corrected our astigmatism of values and has thus enabled us to see everything about us in its true light in short, it has sharpened our standards of value. The trivia of life college life at least appear as trivia and the important things in college life are assuming their rightful proportion. College life is at last realized as a legitimate way to spend fouryears training oneself for the future and not as a fouryear interlude of theoretical and impractically idealistic experiences after which the student must spend time getting his feet on the ground. The faculties of most colleges about the country and this includes Hope have realized this and have introduced in their curriculums courses of practical worth. They have changed the emphases and methods to those of realism; and have done as much as they were able to do to make their colleges and universities truly training centers of tomorrow's peace builders. However, a college is not composed of a faculty alone a college is composed of a faculty and a student body that work together toward the same goals. f this be true, what must the student body of a college do as its part toward growing up? f you will ask a returned serviceman, wevre sure you will receive the same answer we did. He will tell you that it isn't the big things that need to be changed in a school of Hope's caliber but rather the little, unnoticed things. For example he might give the fact that a bit more" respect for the faculty members expressed in such a way as saying "Professor" instead of "Hey! Prof!" would in no way destroy the wonderful friendship that we feel for our professors. Or he might suggest, that merely because we are in a co-educational campus is no reason that we should forget common-sense rules of etiquette such as good table manners, rules of courtesy in regard to the weaker sex and our elders. He might further point out just how much our "high-schoolish" habits of exhibitionism in regard to both our loudness and "show-off" actions would actually retard our growth. And one more thing our veteran might suggest for he believes it very strongly, that in any other occupation that young people of college age enter, they are expected both to dress and to act like "thinking adults." He hastens to explain that he doesn't insist that a man or a young lady must wear this type of suit or that type of dress as a "uniform" rule but rather that they should take a more active personal pride in keeping themselves well-groomed at all times in clean, well-pressed clothes suitable for the occasion. Then he adds that if they take pride in their appearance they should also take pride in the appearance of their campus by making courtesy a by-word in their conduct on and about campus. One might ask our veteran if it is really important that we here at college grow up. He answers quickly but emphaticslly "Yes first of all it pays big dividends in the world in which we must live after college." Then as he gives his final reason his eyes become deadly serious for he is recalling Are You n Vogue? Going some place? Need some- thing particularly chic?

But a few larger waves put an end to that. Some of the Dorians stayed in another cottage for the night. Comfortably in bed,^ they prevailed upon Louise Ter Ueek to read aloud from Your Daddy Did Not Die. With blankets piled high for warmth and the roaring of the lake for a sedative, they slept until too late for many to get to work on time Saturday morning. But it wag worth it, and now they're looking forward to the houseparty in the spring. Sorosis Nat Bosnian, Sorosis prexy, presided over the business meeting. After all of the business had received due attention the meeting was adjourned in favor of the program. The program, patterned after a dinner menu, was opened with devotions representing the Grace before the meal by Joyce Sibley. From there they proceeded on to the refreshing Appetizer which consisted of a quartet made up of Mary Lou Hemmes, Betty DeVries, Marj Lukking and Jinny Hemmes who sang two numbers amidst much giggling from the audience and from the ensemble itself. They have very "unusual" musical talent. The Serious Paper coming under the heading of Boiled Potatoes was a very interesting account of Madeline Carroll's successful work in France given by Glenna Gore. The meat course, Baloney, was served by Cal Hermance who discoursed and poetized on food she loves it! The Dessert consisted of the Sigma Sigma songs sung by all. Thesaurian Music was in the air of the Thesaurian room as the program started. The old spirituals and gay melodies of Stephen Foster were on the piano ready to be played. Angelyn Tuurling opened the meeting with devotions and Majorie Van Vranken presented the life of Stephen Foster and various summaries of his works. At last the songs were played and n a setting of soft candlelight, Arlene Eilander, Dorothy Huizinga, Marge Karsis and Marion Ter Borg took the solemn vows Friday, September 28, at formal initiation which made them full fledged members of Sigma ota Beta. Following the ceremony, Harriet Van Donkelaar, president, welcomed the new girls to the sorority. Sue Leetsma had charge of the program for the evening and opened it with devotions. Edna Mae Van Tatenhove accompanied by Helen Wagner sang Love You by Grieg, and then in closing group singing was led by Helga Sawitsky with Lois Van Wyk at the piano. Business discussion followed the program. New officers, elected at the house party, are Sue Leetsma, vice president, and Phyl Haskin, Student Council representatives. sla Vander Heuvel is ANCHOR reporter.

Nothing can ever take the place of those sunny afternoons when we took the Little Star out and drifted along the lake. like it best when was stretched out on my stomach on the bow my cheek flat against the deck. could look over the side and see the tiny silver-white waves slap the sides of the boat or could close my eyes and feel the motion of the waves. And as a puff of wind blew my hair across my face, could hear the jib riefing and 'd roll over on my back and pull it out to catch the puff. liked to look up between the jib and the main sail at the clear blue sky and feel very content and peaceful. And days when it was rough loved scampering from one side of the boat to the other to keep it from turning over. And the weekend when we had the races the lake was filled with other crescents and with boats and yawls that was really living. Another favorite was mornings when the waves softly breaking on shore would wake me up early. liked to put on my bathing suit and run down to the lake for an early swim before the beach was crowded with resorters. Days when the whole crowd got, together were fun too. We often had a fire on the beach and cooked i our supper. When the ashes began : to wither and the wood had fallen low, we sat with our feet before the fire singing all our special favorite! songs. And then we'd go to some-! one's cottage and play records and look at pictures and laugh at how we used to look. And sometimes we played with ' our little brothers and piled into their old car that they had painted bright blue with big colored dots. We'd drive into town to the 1 movies and have hot fudge sundaes afterwards.

Marcella Westerman and Phyllis Dietrich, sophomores, have charge of arrangements for the sport. Phyllis also is taking care of plans for horseback riding. Alida Kloosterman, sophomore, is to manage hiking. Ping-pong and badminton will not be included in the major activities unless enough girls are interested. One big item of interest last year, the girls' football game, will not be included in the schedule this year because of the danger and accidents incurred last fall. That's about all, honey chiles (yeh, can't stand to be called that either!) but to my way of thinking: that's plenty! The W.A.A. board well deserve the picnic they are having on October 11 after putting out such a program. Anyway see you soon and you'd better be there in the gym or on the athletic field!

We suggest either the Model or some other drug emporium for a good big jar, bottle, or tube of some kind of strong liniment... For further information, see anyone who took gym last semester... Also, Jack asked us to announce that any of the fellows who are interested in the cross-country race should see him soon... f none of the fellows turn out... no cross country... Well, whatcha waiting for?... Go Now!... Dean Hinga was out last week with a bad cold... He wasn't really sick but he just couldn't talk... We missed you coach... Speaking of missing things, a pair of pliers was missed one day in Zwemer Hall by a fellow on the second floor and he went to see the fellow who borrowed it on the ground floor, who in turn found he didn't have it, but had lent it to a fellow on the first floor where the little culprit turned up... Just goes to show you that you should beware of pliers 'cause even pliers "get around"... Speaking of "getting around" brings us right back to that cross-country... Any of you strongsilents gone to see Jack yet, once again?... f it's a little incentive you need, maybe we could arrange to have one of those good looking Freshmen girls in their green bonnets, which, incidentally, we get at the mixer the fifth of October, to run ahead of you and you could chase them over the course... or vice versa... man shortage you know... Speaking of shortages, we think of the shortage of Sophomore men... boys... and the pull this year... Maybe all for the better...

Except for Don ngham and some of the other "men's" beautiful form as an occasional football flew through the air, and another "sport" characteristic of the- seashore, nothing much happened along the sport line... unless you call eating a sport... and it is with certain people... A few of the more intelligent Freshmen went for a short ride on the waves and came back a little on the wet side but quite sane.., After the skating party many students were seen rubbing bruised arms and legs, and walking lightly on heel or toe, the other end of which had an aching blister biting into the foot... Another communique from our good friend Jack... The honorable Mr. Schouten has asked us to inform all fellows who have from four o'clock on, free, who would like to play touch football, softball or what have you, should come to the gym at four, and through one of these forms of athletics you can work off some of that extra energy you have lying around... Note to you former Holland High students, and to anyone interested in football... The Holland Dutchmen play Muskegon Heights Friday night at Riverview Park... The Heights beat the Dutch last season and the Holland team is out to win this time so it ought to, and will be, a swell game Well, gang, that's about all for now, more news in the next issue of the ANCHOR...
