We want to write the farewell editorial but we do not want it to be the customary type. In other words, we feel that the old staff is an extraordinary one. They have done the customary work of putting out the paper. However, they have set what we hope is a precedent—they have made the paper a weekly instead of a bi-monthly. It has been a lot of work putting out this paper and the old staff should be commended for its efforts. We want to take advantage of this chance to thank Annie Mae Brown and Betsy Springer for trying mighty hard to give us the proper training to “carry on” next year. Time will tell what affects this training will have, but thanks anyway. WELCOME TO OUR GUESTS Today there are over one hundred high school seniors visiting on our campus. The members of the staff of the Queens Blues would like to take this opportunity to give their greeting to the guests. We hope that you will like Queens-Chicora Col lege so much that you will go home with definite plans for registering here among us in September. On our campus you will find all phases of stu dent life. If you are planning to come here to school as a dormitory student you will enjoy liv ing with all the girls in one of the four dormitories. If you are planning to come here as a day student you will enjoy your associations with boarders and day students in classes and extra-curricular ac tivities. We hope that you will be pleased with every minute you spend here today. See our student body at the May Day exercises and decide then that you will be one of its members next year! On December 3, 1918, in the little village of Cornelius, there occured a major event. For that, dear friends, was the birthday of Miss Frances Personality Stough. The first word that Miss Stough was heard to say, was in answer to her mother’s query of whether or not she preferred strained carrots or apple sauce for lunch; and was the well-known and original “shure!” So you can see that from the very beginning. Miss Stough was a unique individual. By catering to her teachers and giving apples to the principal, she managed through strategy to get herself a di ploma from the high school of Cor nelius. Then through more strategy (this time I’m not sure of the exact nature) she entered Queens-Chicora. She is now studying for an A.B. de gree majoring in history, and only re cently was one of a small number of juniors to be on the dean’s list. In her freshman year, Franny was a member of Tin; Blues staff, of Choral Club, on Stunt Night commit tee, and a member of the May Court. As a sophomore she continued to be a member of Choral Club, and was on the reception committee for Queens- Davidson Day, and again in May Court. This year she is treasurer of the Choral Club, secretary of the In ternational Relations Club, a junior class beauty, a cheerleader, and was stage chairman of the junior stunt. Also, she is a member of Chi Omega Fraternity of which she is president for the vear 1939-10. Franny’s chief joy is, as some of you Burwell Hall haunters may well snow, Wednesday nights about 7:15. Her ambition is to live in Hawaii and ler pet hate is artificially (righto!). She really goes after steak and French fried potatoes in no uncertain fash ion, and she thinks that Errol Flynn IS not half-bad.

As for a description, words are not very expressive, but I’m sure that you all agree with me that she has just about the most poisonality of any girl on this campus, and she has a smile that will really mow ’em down, as is evident by the fact that she is a class beauty and a member of the May Court. She came in for her share of questions and I got my share of an swers. Have a look. Question: What makes a dog-wood bark? Answer; Fleas don’t ask me that! Question: Who do you think killed Cock Robin? Answer: The late John Dillinger did it with his little hatchet. Question: Do you approve of old ige pensions? Answer: What? Question: Who is the luff of your life? Answer: My purp, Breezie. Question: What do you think is the most important item that should go in a time bomb? Answer: T.N.T. and P.D.Q. Thank you. Miss Stough, and here is your package of—sorry, that’s some other program. Everybody’s friend and a jiower-house when it comes to possessing the best qualities, Franny is a shining star on our cam pus and a unanimous campus choice. Our this week’s campus choice is lone other than that smiling, blue eyed blonde Maujer Moseley, some times known as Mona and her other nickname—well you just better ask Maujer. Born on March 5, 1920, she has always lived in Charlotte and attended the Charlotte schools where she made an outstanding record. At Queens, Maujer has been active on campus. While a freshman, she was a member of the Choral Club, secretary of the Chi Omega pledges and Freshman Marshall at commence ment. She was also on the dean’s list and was chosen Thomas S. Bryan Scholar. This year Maujer has served as a capable president of the Sopho more Council, honorary sophomore organization. She has also served on the S.C.A. cabinet and the Day Stu dent Council; and again she has been in the Choral Club and on the dean’s list. For next year she has been elected vice-president of the Chi Omega Social Fraternity and Day Student vice-president of S.C.A. But enough of the serious side of Maujer and we’ll get along to other things. Catching her between May Day practice and a Cabinet meeting wasn’t exactly^ inducive to interview ing and receiving good answers. But it was found that Maujer loves fried chicken best, of all foods and will eat as much and as often as she can get her hands on it. Sometimes she even fries it herself. She also likes the piano and gives promise of follow ing her mother’s excellent example. Deep down she’s just a jitterbug at heart loving Bee Wayne, Bennv Goodman, and Larrv Clinton with a “Deep Purple” passion. Davidson and the Figl also take up part of her time. And she can’t keep purple out of her mind—she’s even a violet in May Day. Maujer has hopes of being a labo ratory' technician on graduating from Queens and so for the next few years she reports that anv one wishing to see her will please look into that explosion over in the Chemistry lab. But this write-up couldn’t be com plete without mentioning her new nose—manufactured in New York. For full particulars see Miss Mose ley'. She’ll even show you the scar behind her ear. Perhaps the most outstanding things about Maujer are her jokes submitted verv often to Virginia’s “Q-C, W.B.W.” column. 'I'hey’re rare and sometimes could he ginal. So on closing we’ll say'. “Here’s to y'ou, Maujer, a well- rounded campus choice.” Miss Sara Nooe attended the annual convention of the State Bird Club held in Raleigh April 28 and 29. The “'I'hree Muskateers” of Ornith ology, Dr. Gilbert Pearson, D. C. S. Brimley' and Dr. H. H. Brimley were the princijial .speakers. Friday after noon the members of the club gave talks and this was followed by a ban quet Friday' night. Saturday morn ing the delegates participated in field trip. Mrs. Edwin Clarkson of Charlotte, who raised “Tommy” the bluebird, accompanied Miss Nooe. Questionnaire Should the school plan more recrea tional features, and if so, what do y'ou suggest?: Mildred Sneeden: Yes. I do think they' should have a planned program Because it will help school spirit anc provide more comradeship. Why not square dance in the gym some Sat urday night? Flora McDonald: I think that the school should plan some recreationa feature each week. Why not trv i picnic? We could hike out somewhere and have a grand time. Kate Brown; Certainly it should we need a new gym and a swimming pool would help, and also lots of ping pong tables. Eleanor Alexander: Intercollegiate sports would arouse school enthusi asm, and a swimming pool would be a much needed addition to our cam pus. Katharine Martin: A planned pro gram of glee clubs, good speakers anc good music would he quite a big help Peggy Williams: We need a recrea tion room where dates could be en tertained, and where lots of games anc good ping pong tables would be placed. Flittin’ Around With Sarah Thompson Exasperating Experiences Collaborated With Maddening Moments What?—may' I ask, is more exasperating than—rain on the day' of an annual jiicnic? a mudhole which your foot didn’t miss? a crayfish antenna on your biology' exam when y'ou have studied a bee’s leg? a run in your stock ing when you’re halfway' down the steps? a blond lead ing the blind? jelly' on vour arm? a blackboard which screeks when you scratch on it with chalk? the sun hiding just as you get flattened out for a nice tan? mirrors which do funny? an indefinite person? a stubborn drain? (hint—Drano’s good) a new book to buy' just as y'OU get the penny' bank filled? a domineering movie usher? a little sister? Teachers (sometimes)? columns like this? Wouldn’t it be great if—we could be twins sometimes? clothes were cheap and plentiful? stockings were tabooed? cables wouldn’t cry in theaters? wood boxes never got empty'? people could eat and never get fat? spring weren’t so feverish? exercise didn’t take so much energy? kids cnew what to say and when? chewing gum didn’t lose its flavor? people were as red as they' wanted to be so they' wouldn’t have to buy' paint? ice cream cones grew on trees like pine cones? bills never came? sal-hepatic wasn’t? school were out? I had to stop here? and I do. To Be Read Fast With A Nasal Twang A typical maddening moment—o keh, guys, here’s da set up. De moll she decides she wants ta go t’da movies see? O keh. She’s gotta tek da brats cause she’s got no place ta leave um. Awright den, dey goes ta da pikacli show an it’s ona dose Wil AVest. Da moll, she’s okeh— luittin frightenin’ to her—but da babes. Ha, dey gets scared so whadday'uh suppose dey does? Course ya sapSj dey' weeps. So de ushah beats it on down to da seat where dey’s drainin’ and tells de moll ta scram. So wit da little guy on er right arm an holdin’ da kids hand, she clears out. She puts da behe down in de cart and tells da uddah irat she’s gotta git some vittels—eats, foods—ya’ dopes, y'a’ heard a’ dat ain’t ya? Okeh, she den goes inta da delica-delica—ah well anyway', she goes inta da store and while she’s gone da little wise guy' decides he wants ta see de cart roll. Hah, okeh, he gives it a liddle push. It gains some speed on da’ way down, hits a copper wit a liddle excess weight who hits de sidewalk. When de moll comes out her babe is sittin’ on de cop’s abdomen ticklin’ his chins with his toe’s—and de cart? Hah, it’s still rollin’—okeh? (If va’ wants it read to ya’, I’l be glnd ta help ya.)
