So far the student body has not responded to these ads in the proper way. A paper can not be published without the sup port and interest of its advertisers. When ad vertisers become dissatisfied they stop giving ads. Naturally, they do not want to spend money if they are not getting response. All subscribers to this paper should be inter ested enough in its welfare to want it to pay for itself each week. It would certainly help matters if each student would make a special effort to look at each ad in each issue. How about turning to page three and page four right now ? Really, we have a fine bunch of advertisers! KEEP QUIET! Four weeks of school have passed and in those four weeks students have learned more and ad justed themselves to more changes than they ever have before. These students are certainly to be congratulated on their fine response to many Queens-Chicora rules and regulations. However, there is one rule that has been overlooked en tirely too much and that is noise in the dormi tories at night.* Talking, loud radios, doors open while “bull sessions” are going on, running up and down the halls have got to stop. Emphasis on the importance of a quiet and orderly dormitories has been expressed to the students. Points will be given without hesitation from now on to those girls who eontinue to violate these noise rules as set down in the hand book. If the freshmen would remember that study hall and all noise regulations are not over until ten o’clock, our dormitories would be a much more homely and orderly place for us to spend our four years.

Chicaoo - Boston • Los Angeles - San Francisco Founded by the Class of 1922 Two Freshmen Give Impressions College is all so different from any thing we freshmen have ever experi enced before. The big sisters are so nice, and the faculty so very cordial, that for a while at least it seemed that we weren’t going to school at all. Now that we are settled, though, here are a few first impressions: MISS SLATON’S charm, ANNE FULLER’S friendliness, and ER MINE WADDILL’S bustling effici ency—all help Queens-Chicora out considerably; those two very sun tanned individuals who go under the names of DOT DORN and MURIEL SPAETH — wouldn’t you give any thing to be their color?—MARIE PONS’ brunette beauty, sighhhh;— JEAN WELSH’S bell-like laughter, ’nother sighhhh;—witty, long-wind ed SARAH THOMPSON — what would Q-C do without SARY — JACKIE ACKERMAN’S striking red pageboy bob, the spice of any man’s life; — PETE MUNROE’S Chinese accent, it’s so fetching!— And say! what about DOT MUSE’S smart Park Avenue deb look;—AN NETTE McIVER’S adorableness (pardon, Mr. Webster);—KITTY KITTLES’ gawjus blond hair, too pretty for words; ALICE CLARK’S clothes, Fifth Avenue personified;— FRANCES BERRYHILL, sweet as a chocolate eclair! Other Schools’ Losses, Q-C’s Gains: LALLA MARSHALL, late of Agnes Scott where she was president-elect of the rising sophomore class; MISS TILLETT, from Katherine Gibbs School—we’ve heard she speaks five languages including Latin; MISS SLATON who comes to us from Northwestern; our own DR. BLAKE LY, who, since bidding goodbye to Mary Baldwin, is fast making a place for himself in the heart of Queens-Chicora; ANNE BRANAN and DORIS BECKUM, who came via the Shorter route.

FORWARD LOOK Sorrows have I none Yet, no bliss. Can it be that time will run Its endless course Like this? Strangely have I no delight In small things of the heart; And yet again I find no joy In large things set apart. It must be that I am one Who peace and joy will find. When my soul’s death Admits the light To my resurrected mind. —Elizabeth Isaacs. SLEEPING Alone he sits and broods his fate Ah sad indeed—it is too late. Would he had lived while life was new For now he cannot live—he only hates. When he was young he used to dream Of how, one day, in glittering gleam he’d rule the world. But now like silent death he sits, and yet he dreams. Arise! Awake him for he dies! Alas, it is no use. Not dead but sleeping, there he lies. While earth’s immortal caravan Moves on to Mystic Paradise. —Pete Munroe. Why Not Read Each Issue From Cover To Cover One day, nineteen years ago, a Lately, while snooping around,'stork flying over Greensboro, N. C. hither and thither, over the campus found his load too heavy and dropped I’ve noticed quite a few outstanding two “bundles from Heaven” over the personalities. Some struck me as be-'same house. That day was May 28, ing sweet, some unique, and some just 1920; and the two bundles were the Edwards twins, Caroline and Julia. After living a while in Greens- Snooping Around Among The New (Simply Because I Didn’t Know) Bundles In Doubles mocked me out. I wonder if you’ve noticed that smile which plays around the corners j boro the Edwards’ moved many of a certain girl’s mouth; namely, times to a variety of towns in North Gladys Hartzell. It’s the sweetest, most heart warming smile that has Carolina; and finally, when the twins were twelve years old, they landed I. ever been flashed my way. Be on the in Richmond. At the age of fifteen look out, it’s usually “always pres-j they arrived bag and baggage to ent!” Ob, and by the way, have you Charlotte and have lived here ever ever listened to Rice Robbins talk? since. Sbe is a replica of our own “Red’ Rein. That good old mountain brogue that never grows tiresome, but speak ing of brogues, maybe you know When asked to tell something about themselves, Caroline reminded me not to forget Bill, and Julia hastened to _ , ^ , , put in a word for Rush. They both Isabelle Rodgers, that adorable Sum- . . ^ ^ ^ . ii j , „ , ’ , iinsist that thev first blossomed into ter belle wbo draws out her words as , j L j.i u ...» womanhood when those boys came into tbeir lives, saying that up until that time thev were in the embryonic if tomorrow were a million years away. She doesn’t know what it is to hurry; in fact, it never occurs to her—'“Ya’wl jus’-oughta-listen-to-her- sum-time!” Beauty, too, predominates in the freshmen class this year. Of course, you can’t have missed Alice Clark with the “Venus de Nulo” profile. Nan Daniels with the hair of an ethereal creature; Laura Mitchell, enough said; and Jean Pettaway, who is but definitely following in the foot steps of Martha the Queen. Maybe beauty is only skin deep; but still, if I were these girls I wouldn’t like the idea of being skinned. Beauty is so nice to have around in case of I an emergency—if you get what I mean! When I say “a dazzling blond” I can think of no better illustration than one like Peggy Dunaway. She is not of the extremely beautiful type, but rather the unusual type—by that I mean if you look at her once you’re bound to look again, because you want to make sure you’re not having an optical illusion; and too, you usually like what you see. If you’re on the look out for a very sweet girl, cast your peepers over to Martha Nixon. She is very attractive and almost too full of practical jokes. However, just say “Nix,” and Miss Nixon will stop. (I can see I’m headed for the old “punitentary.”) Of all the neat girls (spelled with a capital N) I have ever seen, I hereby award the academy prize to Isabelle McDowell. “Not a hair out of place.” When it rains, personally, my hair pours!—but with Isabelle, not so! Rain or shine, snow or sleet, under any weather conditions, Isa belle still looks like Isabelle. Three cheers for patience which is a great virtue you know. Well, now that I’ve just character ized a few Freshmen for you. I’ll stage. I am sure no one noticed any difference in their outward appear ance. The change must have been purely in the heart. Incidentally, Julia and Caroline are the third straight generation of twins in their family. They seem rather resigned to the fact that they, too, will in all probability have tbeir “bundles” in doubles. Due to the fact that they do not look alike many people have not believed that they were twins. Their usual answer to the doubting Thomases is, that fifty million genes and chromosomes can’t be wrong. Julia says that they are fraternal, not identical twins. (How about it Dr. Abernathy?) The sisters have four pet hates, and all of them arise out of the fact that they are twins. As you prob ably know, the girls call each other “sister.” Well, their first pet hate is the too-smart fellow who says, “If you call each other “sister,” don’t you get mixed up?” Number two p. h. is tbe question, “Wbo is the older?” Then there is that person who accuses Caroline of having drunk all of Julia’s milk and eaten her spinach just be cause she happens to weigh a little more. The fourth hate is the answer to the question, “Why don’t they dress alike?” Well, here’s the answer— they don’t want to. After twelve years of measuring like dresses to see which was the longer (Caroline was taller) every morning before get ting dressed, they became fed up on it. When asked what they liked (out side of the afore mentioned gentle men) Julia replied, “Chocolate” and I Caroline, “red.” Their favorite sport is swimming. Caroline’s favorite pastime is playing the piano; Julia’s is reading. In fact, Caroline says that the reason Julia does not weigh leave it up to you to find them. Look I more is because every time some one and Listen and see if I’m not right! wanted her she had to be pulled out from between the pages of a book. Since Julia and Caroline have been at Queens they have been active mem bers of their class. They have made a name for themselves for leadership, scholarship, and for being just plain “swell” girls who happened to have been born into the same family on the same day. Your snooping sight-seer!
