Annual Convention In Durham Working Hard
Eight Delegates From Queens To Win Prize
Attend Three Day Conference
Blakely Speaks
On Clean Speech
On Tuesday morning, November 4,
Dr, Blakely spoke in chapel on the
fineness of clean speech. He said that
our words are moving pictures that
reveal our minds and hearts. It is
not the quantity of the words but
the quality that counts, “Cursing
indicates an empty head and an
irreverent heart,” It is like great
thunder and little rain when a per
son makes a lot of noise to cover un
preparedness, Profanity is aimless
and useless. It undermines the sen
sitiveness of a person’s character and
gets one nowhere. Unclean speech
is not as smart as some people seem
to think, and it betrays an unclean
heart, *
Sarcasm comes from a Latin word
sarcs, meaning harsh. Harsh words
indicate a cruel heart, and they cut
and hurt like a Roman whip, “Words

originality, and ingenuity. Once a
year this gala event is held to deter
mine which class is superior in crea

about anything under the sun, but
the majority are tied up with life at
Queens in some way or, another. In
the, body of the skit are interposed
several songs and yells of the in
dividual classes. The rules goverit-i
ing the stunts are that they must
not be longer than fifteen minutes
duration; the classes must not have
faculty or other adult advice; and
the props for each stunt must nbt
cost more than a certain amount.
Ihe Athletic Council of the school
offers as a prize to the best
stunt a silver loving cup. Last
year the present Senior class won
the cup, and last year’s Senior class
won honorable mention.
Each class has a stunt chairman,
and a gallery chairman, who has
charge of the members of the class
who are not actively participating
in the skit.
The Senior sfunt chairman for this
year is Billie Harmon of Concord,
N. C.; Senior gallery chairman is
Winnie Shealy, of Gastonia, N. C.
Junior stunt chairman is Lucy Hassell
of Spindale, N. C.; gallery co-chajr-
