Freshmen Have
Group Advisors
The Hut was a busy place last
Thursday afternoon for that was
the day for the great Freshmen
assemblage. Each girl had been
summoned by a very original in
vitation card bearing upon it the
color her group was to wear.
When everyone arrived the var
ious groups, consisting of eleven
girls and one teacher, were talk
ing busily. Margaret Johanson’s
accordion playing, and Russian
tea and cakes added greatly to
the merriment of the crowd-
The purpose in forming these
groups lies in the sincere hope
that a Freshman may have all the
good advice she desires from her
group advisor. Perhaps this will
lighten the strain on her future
schedules; or perhaps it may help
to get her into more school activi
ties. Anyway, this co-operation
on the part of faculty and stu
dents should net results.

Bills For Annual
Cuts Sent Out
The annual seems to be advanc
ing fine. Many girls pulled slips
from their boxes today and seem
ed surprised to see that they owed
the Edelweiss money. Annual
cuts are on! Let’s all co-operate
with Frances and have the best
annual of time.
Former Student
Injured in Wreck
Word was recently received
that Marion Chambliss, student
here last year, has been seriously
injured in an automobile accident.
The accident occurred on Mon
day, November 2. Marion was
with a party of boys and girls
who were returning from a week
end house party at the University
of Florida in Gainesville. For
some reason, which we do not
know, the car turned over and
was com]iletely wrecked ?
Marion was hurt worse than
any of the others in the car. Her
ankle and lower part of her leg
were cut badly. The leader or
tendon was severed. Her back,
also, was sprained.
The others got helji and rushed
the hurt ones to the hosjiital
nearby. It was necessary to take
over thirt}^ stitches in Marion’s
leg. Ever since the accident, she
has been in bed with her leg in
a jilaster cast. She will soon be
up, but will have to walk on
crutches for at least a month.
This hurt is especially unfor
tunate for the reason that Marion
and a friend had been conducting
classes in ball-room dancing.
Of course Marion’s iiart of this
work will have to stop for quite
a while.
To new students and to those
who don’t know her, Marion was
a freshman here last year. .She
lives in Tamjia, Florida, and al
though she intended to attend
Florida State Vkiman’s College,
she has been staying at home this
winter. Marion was very pojiular
and was a member of the Kappa
Delta Sorority on this campus.
“Jelly” Leftwich’s Orchestra
Added Attraction
The big event of the second
quarter will be the entertainment
sponsored by the Senior Class on
December 9. This class is bring
ing the Duke Glee Club and or
chestra to Queens-Chicora that
night.
Last year the Duke Musicians
were a great success. The Glee
Club is composed of fifty-four
Duke men, each of which has a
good voice. The program has
not been announced yet, but there
will probably be some skit or
extra act in addition to the songs
and choruses.
Another feature of the evening
will be “Jelly” Leftwich and his
orchestra. Their part of the
program will be several groups of
po’uilar pieces, with some other
orchestrations of more or less
classical music. All the old girls
remember the enjoyable evening
spent last year when Duke came
to stay a few hours. New girls
are in for a treat and will talk
about it for some time to come
after this has taken place.
School Aids In
Relief Drive
On Wednesday, November the
eleventh, Dean McLean and Miss
Margaret Lillard, president of the
Oueens-Chicora Student Body,
represented the college at the
banquet given in the Chamber of
Commerce Building by the work
ers for the United Relief Fund.
Dean McLean presented two hun
dred and seven dollars to the
committee as the donation of the
faculty, while Miss Lillard, repre-
sentating the student body, gave
a hundred and four dollars.
The class collections making up
a total of seventy-four dollars
were as follows: Freshman Class,
thirteen dollars and eighty cents;
Sophomore Class, fifteen dollars
and fifty-eight cents ; Junior Class,
seven dollars and fifty-six cents;
Senior Class, seven dollars and
six cents. An extra fifteen dollars
was given from the Student Body
Treasury. This amount was for
merly for the purpose of buying
faculty Christmas presents, but
at the suggestion of the Dean, it
was given over for the use of the
United Relief Fund.
Fifteen dollars was made for
the fund, by the means of a self
denial meal, Monday the ninth of
November. This meal was voted
for by all members of the Student
Body. All meat and butter were
cut out from dinner, with the re
sult that this, by no means small
amount, was saved.
The drive was sponsored by all
the leaders in the city business

Cherniavsky Trio
Splendid
The Cherniavsky Trio, spon
sored by Charlotte Community
Concert Association, gave two
very interesting programs at the
Central High School Auditorium
)n Wednesday, November 11. The
first program was given in the
afternoon for the benefit of the
school children wishing to attend.
Their main program, which was
given in the evening, was heard
by a large, appreciative audience.
This famous trio is composed
of three brothers, Leo, violinist,
Jan, pianist, and Michel, ’cellest.
They made their first tour of their
native Russia as boy prodigies,
and their artistic union has been
maintained ever since. As a re
sult of this long experience, which
has now covered a period of over
twenty-five years, they have de
veloped a mutual sympathy and
understanding so rare as to be
practically unique. Their program
was a most unusual, yet consist
ently popular combination of solos
and ensemble numbers.
