Cans Are Provided For Trash;
Don’t Throw Paper on Ground
May Day is over, and from all reports it was a g’rand suc
cess. All the guests on that occasion were impressed with the
beauty of the campus. The flowers and green lawns and trees
make our campus quite a showplace, and we are proud of it.
We want visitors to always go away from Queens with glowing
accounts of our beautiful campus.
Making the campus lovely takes constant care and hard
work. We aren’t asked to do any of that work, but there is one
vital part we can play in keeping it lovely—keeping it clean.
No amount of care can keep the grounds and buildings the
way we want them to look if we don’t do our part.
There is not a girl at Queens who has not felt a lift in spirit
when she stood in Diana Courtyard and looked down the
flower-bordered walk by the dining hall. But unfortunately,
we are all too careless about tossing an ice-cream cup or scratch
paper behind the nearest bush. Nothing disfigures a lovely
garden or lawn as much as trash.
The Day Students’ Building, the Y-Store, and the Rec Room
are the gathering places for students; they are our special
buildings. The Staff cannot possibly keep them clean without
your co-operation. When you are tempted to be careless,
think that you are just one of the many students who use these
buildings; then throw that bit of trash where it belongs.
No one means to be careless but good intentions can’t remedy
a situation, and action can. Let’s be active when it comes to
keeping our campus and buildings clean. Let’s be careful to
throw trash in the proper places; let’s be sure to pick it up
if someone else has forgotten; and let’s remind others to help
keep our campus lovely.
Excessive Noise Is Not Polite;
Especially Before A Speaker
There are some rules of conduct that should be inherent and
intuitive in every college girl. One of these rules is that of
courtesy to a speaker. Generally speaking, the behavior in our
chapel services is very good, but there are still a few girls
who seem to be unmindful of the fact that the speaker on the
platform is human, too, and does not appreciate yawns, sigs,
or muted conversations. I am sure that if we would put our
selves in the speaker’s place, we would realize our thoughtless
ness. For none is blind to nodding heads and buzzing voices.
Then, too, we can always gain some thought from the services
that will help us in some phase of our college life—studies,
personal decisions, etc. Often this period offers our only chance
for us to relax a few moments and think of higher, more
worth-while things.
Lastly, those around us may want to listen if we don’t’. And
anyone knows hoW annoying it is to try to listen to a speaker
' and at the same time to try to shut out a conversation just’
behind him about the absurdity of such and such assignment.
So, for the sake of ourselves, our neighbors, and our speakers,
let’s resolve to take our chapel services more seriously and
more thoughtfully, and to make them a source of help as well
as enjoyment.

PERSONALITIES
Dora Lybrand seems to have had a
good time over the week-end. Anyway
she came back to school with “wings.”
Jean Hester has marriage on her
brain. She went to Carthage to a
wedding this weekend after being
an attendant in Marjorie’s wedding
last week.
Phone calls—Betty Carter has been
swamped with them. A secret admirer
—even to Betty.
Ask June Renfrew how it feels to
be off campus for the first time in
weeks. She went gaily off to town
the first chance she got.
There will be some good rules and
regulations for next year since the
Board of Directors’ meeting.
Margaret Ezell’s Harry is back
from Myrtle Beach. We missed his
presence on campus.
Ruth Ewart and Lois Wilson have
been dating some Morris Field men
quite frequently.
Miss Radford was quite excited
over a “special” date this week. For
further information see the glow
on Miss Radford’s face.
Junior-Senior was quite a huge
success. Betty Schaaff and Polly Fo-
glesons did a specialty dance.
The new Council members are go
ing hay wire. Wonder if they think
themselves above signing out.
Sarah Coble’s Jim is going to
Bainbridge soon or so he keeps tell
ing Sarah.
Jean Brown reigned beautifully
May Day. Have you seen all the
pictures of Jean down town?
The Alpha Delta Pi’s were enter

Miss Mitchell’s brother visited her

GREATNESS
A man is as great as the dream he
dreams.
As great as the love he bears.
As great as tbe values he redeems,
And the happiness he shares.
A man is as great as the thoughts
he thinks.
As the worth he has attained.
As the fountains at which his spirit
drinks,
And the insight he has gained.
