Holland Is
New Head Of
Linnean Club
Tbe Linnean Club had its monthly
meeting, Wednesday, November 6.
Miss Sara Nooe, faculty adviser, dis
cussed the projects for the year. She
said that the members are going to
make a map of the campus which
will show the various kinds of trees
and flowers that are on the college
grounds. The group has planned also
to have a well-kept ^ bird feeding
station. Field trips have been ar
ranged for those interested in bird
study or other ])hases of outdoor
life. The club also hopes to help in
some way with the construction of
the outdoor oven which has been
promised for the campus.
For the benefit, of the new members.
Miss Nooe told the two chief aims
of the club. They are: to beautify
the campus and to enjoy the out-
of-doors. She also explained why
the club had chosen the name “Lin
nean.” The club is called this in
honor of the great Swedish biologist,
Linneaus, who did much work on the
study and classification of plants and
animals.
New officers for the year were
elected at this meeting. They are
Margaret Holland, president; Judy
Scholl, vice-president; Ruth Alex
ander, secretary-treasurer; and Mar
ian Miller, reporter.
The club meets the second Wednes
day in each month. All girls inter
ested are invited to attend.
Gordon Sweet, one of Queens’ new
music instructors, did his under
graduate work at Michigan State
Normal. He received his master’s
degree two years ago from the Uni
versity of Michigan at Ann Arbor
and taught there from that time until
the end of last semester. He was
initiated into Davidson’s chapter of
the Phi Mu Alpha, honorary music
fraternity, on Monday of this week.
As accustomed as Mr. Sweet is to
the ticking of the metronome, he
cannot BEAR to have a clock in
his room. But he is the rare per
sonage on our campus who doesn’t
mind getting up in the morning. Just
so an alarm clock doesn’t do the
waking up. He heartily dislikes all
shades of purple and all brands of
raw oysters. His spare time, what
Seniors Are
New Champs
“Pd rather be a Senior” can be
sung with gusto by the champions of
the volleyball tournament. The
seniors showed a great deal of team
work and their games were charac
terized by fast playing. Jennie Linn
Wright and Mildred Taylor played
stand-out ball consistently. The seni
ors won their first game over the
sophomores by tbe score of 41-53 and
topped the Juniors with a score of
38-50. The Juniors had previously
piled up a 64-14 win over the inex
perienced freshman team. The final
game between tbe runners-up, the
Juniors, and the seniors was perhaps
the fastest and most exciting battle.
Kitty Elmore played good ball for
the freshmen throughout, and credit
for almost perfect serves can go to
Louise Blue and Gail Griffith of the
sophomore girls, but playing honors
go to Eva Johnson. For the Juniors,
Flora MacDonald and Jane Mont
gomery played good ball.
GORDON SWEET
he has of it, is taken up with bridge
and golf.
Mr. Sweet is “amazed at tbe friend
ship and cordiality which the stu
dents offer.” He also states that
Queens girls “realize their influence
on the men-folk and subsequent in
fluence on national affairs.” He be
lieves that girls today are taking
their education more seriously than
ever before.
This Week^s Winners
According To
It looks as if the games this week
end will have to be swimming
])arties, but let’s hope for a change
in weather and a change in my luck
at picking teams and say that the
Duke-Carolina classic will find the
BLUE DEVILS winners. If the
Blue Hose can live up to their last
week’s standard, then the PRESBY-
'I'ERIAN COLLEGE boys should do
things to Wofford. Still down in
South Carolina for two more games,
NEWBERRY has the margin over
Erskine, and FURMAN will triumph
over the Birds from South Carolina.
Coming back to ground most of the
girls know pretty well, the DAVID
SON boys should do things to Hamp-
den-Sydney. To The CITADEL, if
they put what I really believe they
are capable of putting behind that
ball, they should defeat North Caro
lina State. Coming back to Clem-
The concert of the Queens-David-
son orchestra has been ])ostponed.
It will be presented in tbe Queens
auditorium on Friday, November 22.
The concert will begin at 8:00 P. M.
All students, faculty, and friends of
tbe college are invited to attend.
