nounced that the Association is now
working on an alumnae publication,
the first edition of which will come
out in May. This will be a regular
alumnae journal and is the first of
its kind that Queens has published
in several years. The first edition
will contain news about the faculty
and students of Queens and many
personals about former class mem
bers.
defense in class
The general concensus of opinion
seems to he that the classes in which
defense and their relation to defense
was" discussed several weeks ago were
both interesting and profitable. The
teachers devoted at least one class
period to the discussion of defense.
On a whole, the jirogfam was in
formative and the students are agreed
that the time devoted to these dis
cussions were well spent.
Pearl Harbor and when the wool

Lib Lael, social activities chairman,

Red Cross First Aid class has already

GIRLOF THE WEEK
As the girl of the week we have
chosen Patsy Scoggin of Conway,
South Carolina. She has been promin
ent on the campus since her arrival
at Queens in the Fall, and last week
Patsy was elected president of the
freshman class. This, however, will
not be her first experience in an office,
for she was president of the student
body at Conway High school. Be
sides this honor she was voted the
most popular girl in senior statis
tics; she was in the National Honor
Society, worked on the paper, and
was a cheerleader.
Cheerleading is one thing Patsy
loves to do, for on a list of things
she loves, cheering the home team to
victory comes first. Other things
she loves are scrap books, photo
books, diaries, and old letters. She
revels, so she says, in sweet, senti
mental, “appropriate” music, especial
ly when played on an organ. Besides
bull sessions she loves to see a young
couple really in love. I wonder why?
At first Patsy could think of noth
ing she hated, but finally she said
that she really hated to get up in
the dark or miss a meal and, ho])ing
Dr. Graham would not hear her, she
whispered that she hated Chemistry
problems; as a matter of fact she
admitted that she had no favorite
subjects but understands French and
English best.
Patsy is planning to stay at Queens
and graduate—if only she could get
hamburgers and potato salad! SHe
is going to try and get all she can
out of her education but in the mean
time, she is aiding America hy sav-
ir.g Defense Stamps.
