/V\ay 18, 1935 Varied Careers and Marriages Are Seen in Coming Years For This Class. This year has been a particular ly successful one at Queens, Strides have been taken. We oursolvo: have grown. We have gained much, but each day we have lost, also. Our Seniors are our loss. Of course, each year, a class must leave, but this year that class is an extraordinary one, one which will be missed keenly. I have often thought of these Seniors’ four years at Queens, and their various contributions to college life. Naturally, that thought has led to the question in my mind of hew carefully each girl will apply her college personality to her life in this world. Some of them, I believe, will surprise us. May D. Mai'ion, who looks as if she would enjoy a position as an efficient personnel director will probably never say “Yes, Sir’’ to an employer. Her cheery manner will be used for making a charm ing home. And I believe quite a few others will be found, very soon after graduation, beginning a new life with a new partner. Martha Johnston, Ruth Gardner, Mary Pepe Murray, Elizabeth Cassels, and Margaret Floyd will belong to the above group. Seme, I expect to see pursuing tlie same careers they had here. Virginia Sampson will thoroughly enjoy her position in the journal istic field. She will make a suc cessful advertisement writer, or critic on a newspaper. Clare Hazel, in all probability, will study dramatics in New York, and be seen in stage productions, later. Vivian Hilton will make a charming teacher of home eco nomics, Squat Quattlebaum will teach also, but not for long. Peggy Mitchell is difficult to place in cne position, but I think she vvill be most capable as a teacher of very small children. There she can apply her love of the whim sical, the naive. Grace Hubbard will take delight in the whir and bustle arrd click of an office. It won’t take her long to become a private secretary? cf a successful business executive. She will be heard as a soloist in a church, a singer in community enterprises. Perhaps in time, she may elevate her entire career to this field. Marie Wilkrnsorr will lead an un usual life. Music will be her field, and her influence will be state wide and even nation-wide in the future. Lillian Gwaltney will start many little girls toward an ap preciation of music. Jearrette Malloy will be in Cheraw this next year. She has yet to meet her future. Eleanor Hayes will travel and perhaps study in New York. One of the brightest futures be- hngs to Miriam Steele. There Is uo doubt that she will be asso- ciated with laboratories and bright liquids and tubes. Mary Prances Austelle should STUDENTS PLAN TO VISIT MENTAL HYGIENE SCHOOL Prominent Psychiatrists to Lead Discussions of Problems. Many students in the Psychology Department are planning to at tend a one-day institute which is planned by the Mental Hygiene Society of Charlotte for Friday, May 24. At this meeting questions pertaining to the practical ap plication of phyohiatry are to be discussed. Interested professional and lay people frem various sections of the Caroiinas are being invited fer an exchange of ideas and dis cussion of the work for mental health that is developing in the Garclinas. The institute is the cul- minaticn of a year of intensive ti'aining in Mental Hygiene. Dr. George F. Preston, the commissioner of mental health for Maryland, and an outstanding psy chiatrist, will lead the conference. Dr, Preston has had years of ex perience in the South and knows the needs of the section. He is, therefore, in a strategic position to speak on state and local prob lems of mental hygiene. Other outstanding authorities taking part in the program are Dr, Harry Crane, of Chapel Hill, commissioner of Mental Health for North Carolina, Dr. W. W, Young, outstanding psychiatrist of Atlanta, and Dr. John McCamp- bell, superintendent of State Hos pital at Morganton. STUDENT REVIEWS “WHISTLER’S ROOM,” WOOLCOTT’S BOOK be a nurse.

This seems more than probable when we think of the popularity of sue! books as Goodbye, Mr. Chips, Lost Horizon, Heaven’s My Destination, and. of course, While Rome Burns. He is our most influential literary prophet of recent years. I, began one of his devoted followers, laturally followed the crowd to ;he nearest book shoop when he caved over a thin volume called Whi.stlers’ Boom. It was not a new book we were told but there was not a better book to be found in seven states. Imagine my sur prise when I found that not r single book shop or library had ever heard of it. One saleswoman politely told me that she believed Mr. Woolcott had gone “quietly mad” himself to mention a 'oook that no one had ever heard of. One librarian kindly took me aside and informed me that she had many biographies of the painter, Whistler, if they would do. This went on for several weeks until I had given up hope of ever find ing the book, much less reading it. But finally I discovered it among some books in my friend’s library. She, herself, had never read it and didn’t for the life of her know where it came from. This did not worry me for I was overcome by a deep sense of immense good fortune. Right then and there I sat myself dov>?n and did read. Whistlers’ Boom was written by Herr Alverdes and has nothing whatever to do with the cele brated painter. It tells simply the story of what happened in a (Continued on Page 4) Uncle Ben, custodian of the college, cays he’s tried to do his duty by these tall cedars flank ing the front steps of Burwell Hall, and that he is becoming in creasingly vexed by their con tinuous spareness as to midrib. Hov/ever, a careful investigation reveals that the matter is en tirely cut of his hands. It has long been the custom foi -he Seniors, on the night before graduation, to gather on those steps of Burwell and confess all iiic ears of many eligible young men turn a brilliant crimson, well bet, as the young ladies breath lessly tell each other cf their in tentions. Or, if their taste runs contrary to matrimenj?, many careers are mapped out on that night. Giggles, shi'iek.s, weeps, Che entire gamut of femine emo tions are displayed on this oc casion. Next week, by die simple method of survival of the fittest, ^he remains of the FresJiman class -f four years ago will meet on the steps to carry on the tradi tion. Many years ago, perhaps the same cedar' trees were planted by some Senior class. To this day, then, it is not hard to believe that the trees are still shewing their loyalty to those Seniors by grow ing tall and lean so curious little Freshman cannot listen in on Senior conversations on the night before graduation.
