TO PRESENT CONCERT
Edwards Talks On
Meaning of Friends
Friendship Is Essential To
College Life
Dean Edwards spoke to the student
body on Thursday, October 17th on
“Qualities that make for fine friend
ships.” “There are no friends like
college friends,” said the Dean, “none
so much appreciated in the reflections
of later life.” Before considering the
fine qualities of friendship, the nega
tive qualities which tend to destroy
friendships were presented: the dan
gers of being self-centered, over-sensi
tive, and careless about personal
habits. The Dean offered an antedote
for each of these destructive traits
and then gave as the four main points
of her talk the fine qualities which
promote happiness among individuals
and even nations. These points are:
(1) sincerity, (2) intelligent interests,
(3) self-reliance, (4) inbred respect
for other people.
The students were urged to think
carefully on there points and to strive
to attain these heights.

from Queens-Chicora campus by the
lordly figures of Sport and Laughter.
The occasion for the withdrawal of
the serious-minded monarch was the
party arranged by the senior and
sophomore classes who saw the need
of releasing the aged spirit.
Instead of commonplace college
girls there arrived on the scene crea
tures of glamour, some strange, others
beautiful. In the grand march, led
by Miss Henderson and Dr. Kratz,
were found the spirit of might, a
Spanish senorita, an Indian maiden,
spirit of Halloween—all escorted by
dashing modern cavaliers. Mr. Mc
Alister Carson, Mr. Hunter Marshall,
and Mr. Eddie Jones, who were in
vited to be judges, were in a dilemma,
but finally reached a decision as to
the best couple, the funniest, the
prettiest, and the most original cos
tumes.

introduced to the appreciative spec
tators entertainment worthy of the
occasion. The famous Hubbard sis
ters, surpassing all previous records,
were followed by the skillful Tango
team. Manning and Wicker. Other

souglit after fortune tellers, Marian

the astute.
