Alum Notes Campus Comment TO THE FRESHMAN The Queexs Blues wishes in this first issue to welcome all the new girls and especially the freshman, who are beginning on a venture that is something new in their lives, the success or failure of which will meaa a great deal to them. We hope that they will be happy here, ivill learn to adopt themselves to the back ground created by eighty-one years of scholastic and social tradition. This college is what the work and experience of its many students have made it. Each new class leaves its mark. We hope that this newest one will be known for depth of purpose. and wealth of accomplishment. We want to see it marked by religious sincerity, intellectual curiosity, and social grace. This year has started out in a big ger way than usual at Queens and our goal is to make it stay bigger in every sense of the word. Fresh man are the ones who bring a new spirit to a school, who build it into something it has not been before. The old students are a part of what Queens is, the freshmen are a part of what it will be. On them rests the responsibility of the future of Queens, May they discharge this responsibil ity with honor! CO-OPERATION The hustle and bustle of first greetings over and the routine ad justments made, Queens-Chicora has begun a new year in earnest. How many of us already feel our place in the swim of things? Each of us has a place, you know, as large or as small as we make it. The word used to express whole hearted participation is co-operation. Whether spoken or understood, this word will possibly stand out above all others as the keyword of suc cessful attainment. Are we as older sisters ready to show the newer mem bers of our family what a beautiful spirit of co-operation can be found in our response to requirements or shall we set an example for them the spirit “they can get along with out me, why should I use my efforts to help?” Our opportunities are many. Let’s make the most of them. First of our responsibilities will be—of course—the budget fee. Last year one girl said, “I intend to pay mine but I just want to hear them fuss awhile.” How’s that for co operation? —And the elections. Have you ever heard anyone who never votes com plain over results? Support your cause, then if you lose, at least you’ve had the thrill of good competition and honest effort. Already discussions are underway concerning stunt night, interclass games, and the like. If we’re worthy of the name we bear as members of our respective classes, we’re ready and willing to bring laurels to her by our effort in her behalf. Let’s begin today to achieve new heights by teamwork! Let it be said of Queens that she not dnly had the largest enrollment this year but the grandest spirit of comradeship and loyalty in her history. Helen Williams, who as we know is now Mrs. Ab Jones, is living in Easley, S. C. Mrs. W. M. Corbet, Jr., who will be remembered as Dot Senn, is now making her home in Augusta, Ga, Martha Stewart has just returned to her home in Greenville, S. C., after a trip to New York City. Martha, who graduated in voice this past year, is continuing her studies at Furman University. Sarah Sprott has entered the Sophomore Class at the University of Georgia. Jo Rankin has a position as sec retary with Cannon Mills in Kan napolis, N. C. Mrs. L. H. Cox, Jr., who will be remembered as Mary Kale, is living in Belmont, N. C. Clara Kale has a position teaching in Lowell, N. C. Mr. and Mrs. John Cox are making their home in Wadesboro, N. C. Mrs. Cox is the former Lucille Hill. Adeline Kilgore, Martha Petteway, and Frances Query have accepted positions with the Southern Bell Tel ephone Company here in Charlotte. Flora Lee Payne is now Mrs. Bruce Tesh. Mary McCrea has entered the Presbyterian Training School in Richmond, Va. Catherine Todd has accepted a po sition with her father, F. C. Todd, at his place of business in Gastonia, N. C. Mr. and Mrs. James Ellenburg (nee Louise Kinser) have announced the birth of a son, Mary Wilson has become assistant dietition at the Presbyterian Hos pital in Charlotte. Elizabeth Maynard is now teach ing in Chesterfield, S. C. The engagement of Della Maye Cox to Willard Marsh of Atlanta, Ga., has been announced. Marjorie Pressley has enrolled as a student at Sacred Heart Junior College in Belmont, N. C. ,timmy Wagoner and Helen West, who have accepted teaching positions, have taken an apartment in Char lotte. Isabel Turner is teaching at Sas ser, Ga. Carmalt Hartman, who had an ap pendix operation in July, is still un der doctor’s care. She is, however, continuing her studies in dramatics and violin at Catawba College in Salisbury. Jean Kent Early has gone back to her home state, Mississippi, to teach. Flossie McConnell will be married to Belton Beard of Rock Hill, S. C., this October. Cora Lee Williams has entered Virginia State Teachers’ College at Farmville. Eleanor Niven is teaching violin at her home in Waxhaw, Clyde Gamble, who has entered Wingate Junior College, was elected a member of Student Council there. Susan Harrill has enrolled as a student at the University of Tennes see. Martha Ware Pitts now holds a position at St. John’s Photography Studio. Marguerite Buffam, who because of illness was unable to return to Queens-Chicora, has undergone an operation in Los Angeles, Calif. Dot Warren is now making her home in Fairfax, Va.

Elizabeth Bradford is working at Metropolitan Life Insurance Com pany in Charlotte. Kitty Marshall has become per sonal shopping director at Ivey’s De partment Store. Do you read Campus Comments? If you have gotten this far, the gen eral answer will probably be “No.” Do you understand the purpose of Campus Comments? Does it mean anything to the student besides a fill-in on the Editorial Page? It should. In this column each student can voice her opinion. Are you pleased with the cur riculum; are you dissatisfied with social privileges? This is the place to say it. Brickbats and bouquets are both welcomed. More can be done by students to improve Queens- Chicora if a straight-forward method is adopted. Why complain where it does no good, and, in all probability a great deal of harm? An unfavor able whisper campaign that comes from the student body does more to tear down a college’s reputation than anything else, and unfortunately students love to criticise. It seems to make us happier when we can find something wrong rather than some thing right, and each time the “news” is repeated it becomes larger and more terrible. “Have you heard?” And so the story grows to gargan tuan proportions. If we could see our way clear to applaud and boo through means of the paper how much fairer it would be to all concerned. The faculty is no ogre placed here to make our lives miserable. They are here to help us and if you take time to become ac quainted with them outside class you will discover attractive and reason able men and women who want to do what is best for you and me. They are as anxious to do what is right as we are to see it done. Remember that! But should there be something we would like to see changed this year, why not try using the paper and see if the faculty and students agree? Then we can get results! On the other hand, why not tell us, too, if there is something about the college you particularly like? A little ap preciation doesn’t hurt either! Dale Carnegie would certainly approve. This column was started by a prac tical admission of its neglect by the students. However, if you did read it, and perhaps you aren’t as negli gent as was predicted, why not con tribute some ideas for a better rounded college life yourself? We Recognize A man, who through his unfailing cheerfulness and friendliness always helps us start with a brighter out look for the year. A man, who wel comes us with true sincerity and gives us high ideals for Christian living. A man who in his years of association with Queens-Chicora has been mainly responsible for its high standard of today; who has worked with unwavering enthusiasm to make our college the present realization of past dreams for its betterment Dr. Frazer, we recognize you in this, our first issue of The Queexs Blues Because the Hitler government al lows any German traveler to take only $4 spending money wdth him, Christian Otto Winzen came from Germany to the University of De troit, with just that much cash, al though his passage and railroad fare had been paid. Dr. Robert H. Goddard, Clark University physics professor seeking to develop a rocket plane which can be sent up 100 miles or more, has succeeded in driving his tert rocket to a height of 7,500 feet at a speec of 700 miles an hour. Katherine Walton is teaching pub lic school music and piano in Center ville, Miss. Clyde Lee Whidden has enrollec at Tallahassee Women’s College in Florida. CKatter Ah! Here we are again bringing to you a few choice morsels gained I'yes, you guessed it) by peeking through the keyholes at Queens. Outside of having housemaid’s knee and being squint-eyed, we feel in the link of condition! So here we come, ready or not. Looking over the hearts of Queens girls this year you would think we lad fraternities as well as sororities on the campus. Helen Cumnock proudly displays Jim’s Pi Kappa Phi pin, Chris Pate wears a Pika pin, and Marilyn Brit ain flirts a K A pin around under our noses, and our newest addition to the faculty. Miss Smith, has se cured another Pika pin. Then there creeps in the rumor that Mary Currie and Eleanor Alex ander deepened their southern drawls while in New York this summer, with very satisfactory results— Lil Bit and Elmore have called it quits girls, thus writing finis to the one remaining little store affair. Lib Gammon doesn’t need an or gan or a monkey according to latest reports. Crisco used to be a shortening, now it’s a girl’s name. Ruth Knee recently celebrated her third anniversaire, and we don’t mean her third birthday! Personal nomination for the most loquacious freshmen: Olivia Gillespie and Mary Payne. (Just listen some time.) Ellen Hardee wears her one-and- onlj’" strung around her neck in a cute little gold locket. Ask her if you can see Blaine. Now, since Davidson rushing is over, our parlors are filling up again —Grace Clark entertains a half of their student body but will divide the rest. Then there comes to our ears the news that four freshmen in South informed the American Tobacco Company that all the Queens girls were Lucky Strike advocates. Fan Ehrhardt’s men all seem to have the most infantile name. First it was Buster; now it’s Junior. Pedie Burke—that dark Virginia belle—loves a doctor, we’ve heard it said. And speaking of the medical profession, Lil Smith is still inter ested in it too. The words “So Rare” certainly fit little Sara Thompson! Oh, Mama, here’s that Cothran man again! Who is Sara Durant courting these days? Looks mighty serious. Then there was a certain Phi Delt who became smitten with Carolyn Sibley at one of the rush parties of that frat. {By Associate Collegiate Press) “We cannot afford to let the acci dent of birth cripple the educational opportunities of youth of promise. Our colleges and universities must extend their taproots until they reach all classes of society.” Har vard’s President James Bryant Co- nant justified Harvard’s new policy of awarding more and bigger schol arships to promising students. “A woman’s college is not con cerned with the war between men and women. . . . that woman’s col leges were designed to gear women to fight men is out of date.” Welles ley College’s youthful president, Mil dred H. McAfee, discusses her hope of training young women to take their places in society, not militantly, but intelligently aware of their re sponsibilities as citizens. “Through proper education of American youth, and only through such means, will this country be able to ward off the menace of Fascism and Communism,” said Dr. Allan Wilson Hobbs, dean of the college of arts and sciences of the University of North Carolina, to his students.
