About fifteen girls, including Ruth

EASTER HEADLINES
“America’s Best-Dressed Woman chooses Grey Flannel IVT-!^^ Oti
for her Spring Ensemble”—“Marine Corporal John Jones 1 \_/ll
gives life at Iwo Jima”
It’s Easter morning, 1945, and Mr. America picks up
his morning paper, scans the war news, and complains be
cause his coffee is too hot—while his wife busily irons
the veil to her lovely spring hat.—Out on a tiny Pacific
Island, Corporal John Jones, U. S. M. C. lies face downward
in a mud-soaked foxhole. He will never read the paper again,
and the next G. I. khaki he is issued will be his last.
You remember John Jones- The boy in the little white
house on the corner. The boy you had a horrid crush on
when he played “center” on the high school football team.
The boy that danced like a dream.—The boy that loved life,
but also loved his America so much that he passed up a
chance to go to college in order to join the Marines in ’41.
Last Easter John sent orchids to his girl, and practically
went “over the hill” to be home during that beautiful week
end. He got out of bed before dawn for the Sunrise Services.
He heard the chimes burst forth in glorious Easter music.
He attended church with a very proud family, and later,
with his girl, spent an afternoon that he would always re
member. But this year he has forgotten—^the past is a
dim shadow, and he will never know if it rains, or if the
sun will keep her Easter vigil. Yes, he is just another boy
without a chance to remember—without a chance because he
is lying, face downward, on an island “somewhere in the
Pacific.” He did not ask what he got, but he took it—it was
all Corporal Jones could do—for he was a dreamer, an ideal
ist, and he “believed.”
On this Easter day, in 1945, a prayer will be heard all
over the United States—a prayer for those who have given
their lives; given like another who died on the cross centuries
ago—someone that also believed in an ideal. Someone that
would have to do the same thing today because the world
is so confused about what is right and what is wrong.
Will this Marine know someday that he was right, and
that America will remember what he died for? Or will his
memory be blotted out by hate, and envy, and petty jeal
ousy ? The answer lies in the heart of every true American,
and only they can decide how much John Jones’ ideal really
means-
Forget about gasoline, and shoe-ration coupons, and
Easter flannels. Forget it if you are big enough. And re
member that maybe if John Jones had not been on that
little Pacific island, you too might never again sit snugly
in your church on Easter morning.
Let the thought of Christ’s crucifixion, and every John
Jones be with you on Easter—and perhaps those boys we
love will come home, and thank God that we had as much
faith in them as they must have in us

Conference
Dr. Samuel Guy Inman of New
York made an address an Inter-
American affairs in the college au
ditorium, Wednesday night, March
14. He was brought to us by the
Charlote Council on International
Relations. He had just retmned
from Inter-American Conference
at Mexico City. He reported that
this was the “most successful con
ference since the beginning of the
Pan-American movement.
Much of his address was given
over to the description of the
scenery in Mexico. Those who
heard him and have seen the
places he mentioned said that he
gave such a vivid description that
it gave them a feeling of excite
ment and keen interest.
Dr. Inman noted the usual
Latin-American approach to im
portant conferences. He noticed
that as a rule they seem solemn
at first, but later very cheerful.
He stated that the United States
delegation was a contrast from the
former delegations. Our delegates
were less formal.
The Latin-Americans were guess
ing about the seriousness of our
Government, but they were well-
impressed before the conference
ended. Dr. Inman was much en
couraged to see “The United States
for the first time in history thor
oughly committing to take its place
in a world peace.
Dming the conference the dele
gates agreed upon the Act of Cha-
pultepec. Dr. Inman said that
the act “entirely supplants the
Monroe Doctrine.” The Americas
are in a defensive unity. The
two main points of this act are
that first, each American Repub
lic against attack from a non-
American power and second, if
one American country is attacked
by another American country the
others will come to the support
of the victim of aggression.
On the last day of the confer
ence the Argentine question was
brought up for discussion. It was
emphasized that Argentine is and'
always has been a member of the
American family of nations. The
conference expressed the hope that
she wil wish to associate with us
in all future conferences and will
take steps to show that she is not
in sympathy with Germany or
Japan.
Dr. Inman’s address certainly
gives us something to think about
seriously. We, the future genera
tion, will be dealing with our
Latin-American neighbors and so
therefore it is very important that
we pay special attention to pres
ent-day discussion concerning our
relations with them. We were very
fortunate to have Dr. Inman come
here to speak.
And Humorist
Miss Emily Kimbrough, famous
author with Cornelia Otis Skin
ner of “Our Hearts Were Young
and Gay,” will be the lecturer on

ture series. Miss Kimbrough will
speak in the Queens auditorium

Fashion editor of Ladies Home
Journal, and managing editor of
Ladies Home Journal, She has been
a free lance writer since 1932, con
tributing to such publications as

Queens-Davidson
Day Was A
Big Success
On Saturday, March 24, Queens
played hostess to forty Davidson
students at the annual Queens-
Davidson Day. Andy Owens, pres
ident of the Davidson student
body,, sent a list of boys who want
ed to come, and blind dates were
secured for about thirty of these.
The day began about five-thirty
when the boys arrived for dinner.
Amid much phoning, hair-pulling,
and general confusion, the boys
were introduced to their blind
dates. They were then ushered
into the dining room. Kitty
Cooper, who was in charge of the
dinner music, presented a very en
joyable program which included
several vocal selections by the
Dining Room Quartet and the Trio,
composed of Doris Skirrow, Doris
Turner, and Betty Barber, in
addition, Kitty Cooper and Travis
Wiley entertained the crowd with
their unique piano renditions.
After dinner, everyone was free
until eight o’clock, at which time
dancing began in the gym. The
dance was unique in that it was
the first girl-break affair Queens
has had, 'The girls were some-
whlit hesitant about breaking at
first, but by nine-fifteen, every
boy on the floor was the “Beau
of the Ball.”
During the intermission,; the
boys presented a radio skit—Sta
tion WOLF—with its world news
commentator George Gunn, an
nouncer Jimmy Alexander, com
mercial trio Soapy Smith, Mar
shall Carper, and Harry McLean,
and of course, all the commercial
plugs which come in the course of
a quarter hour program.
Jeanne Throckmorton, in charge
of decorations, worked long and
hard to achieve the spring motif in
the gym. Two large cardboard
rabbits supervised the dance from
the two baskets and huge paper
tulips and chickens decorated the
walls. A very nice piece of work!
Music was provided by T. Dor
sey, Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman,
and several other orchestras which
happened to drop by for the occa
sion.
The Social Committee would like
to express its gratitude to all the
Queens girls for helping to make
the dance a success. It is only
with the help of the student body
working together that any event
can be made successful.
