QUEENS BLUES Page 3 Queens Players Stage Years Ago On December 8 and 9, the Queens Players will give their first performance of the season, YEARS AGO, by Ruth Gordon. The action of the play takes place in the early 1900’s and deals with the efforts of seven teen year-old Ruth to get her parents’ consent to go on the stage. The Queens Players are endeavoring to make this the best play they have done and feel confident that it will prove to be a success. Faculty Aids (Continued from Page One) academic processions. A lesser responsibility is to determine who walks in front of whom and what every faculty member wears. Most of the decisions taken by this committee are prede termined by faculty seniority and rank. This committee is com prised of: Mrs. Porter, Dr. Aber- nethy, Mr. Hoyle, Mrs. Moseley, Miss West. Responsible for planning the concerts and lectures series each year is the committee of the same name. This is one of the largest committees appointed by Dr. Blakely, inasmuch as it is desira ble to have a variety of fields and interests represented. Cur rent members include: Dean Sweet, Chairman; and Hibbard, Hoyle, McCutchan, Mis- cally, Sadler, Strickland, Til- lett, Thompson, and Toy. Finally, there is the Religious Program committee. This group plans chapel programs and the ^^eligious services held every au tumn and spring. Facu ty mem bers include Misses Tarlton Holt- zendorff, and Tighe; and Messrs. Morrison and Norman. Also mem bers of the committee every year are three students chosen by the student body. Whose positive attitude did you borrow last week? MAKE YOUR HEADQUARTERS FOR COLLEGE EASHIONS AND accessories Home Practice Who are the girls who dash madly through Diana Courtyard the minute fourth period is over? ’Tis only the cook and her assis tant at the home management house wondering if there will be time to finish lunch preparations, eat, and “clean up” in time for that fifth period class. Or perhaps you’ve seen bundles of groceries moving under their own momen tum, well if you can identify the propelling force behind it you know who is hostess. Then there’s the one you see briskly brushing the back walk or emptying waste- paper baskets—she’s the house keeper. However these are only birds’-eye glimpses—let’s take a look at a few of the many things which go on inside the mysteri ous walls of the home manage ment house. Physically the home manage ment house is composed of six rooms, a hall, two porches and five people but the experiences are too numerous to name; yet many will never be forgotten. There’s the time the cook stands at the stove with a cook book in one hand stirring vigorously with the other hand only to discard the book in order to stir (also) with that hand and open the oven door with the her elbow. It takes real self control to sweep the front walks, and then on turning around to admire it see twice as many leaves as before. Then comes a day when the hostess collects all the groceries on her list proudly enters the cashier line with a solid $10.00 bill to drop out, not with 10c change but seven (that’s not even bus fare these days). If you should visit you will probably hear these phrases along along with others—“Use the other door; that one’s locked.” “No this goes into the refrigerator — it came out of it.” Even though there’s a bit of pot and pan fatigue at times it is rare, and the experiences are Jack Berger MUSIC COMPANY Band & Orchestra Instruments 120'/2 E. 6th St. Phone 4-1538 Thacker's, Inc.

Considers Advisory Program At its regular meeting on Nov ember 8, the Student Legislature together with faculty advisors reviewed the purpose and func tioning of the Advisory Commit tee. The work and membership of this committee are reviewed briefly in another article in this issue of the Blues. Miss Albright, Dean of Stu dents and chairman of the Ad visory Committee, explained that this body is a faculty committee to which the students have the privilege of electing three mem bers from the faculty at large. The committee was originally set up as a liaison body to ad vise with students officers on all phases of college life and to re view decisions made by the Honor Council. She also pointed out that the Advisory Commit tee, like other faculty commit tees, may invite student repre sentatives to meet with it for purposes of consultation and that student opinion is taken into account by it before action is taken. Following Miss Albright’s re view of the purpose of the com mittee, the legislature decided that the executive officers of the Student Government should study the constitution in order to clari fy the interrelationship of all committees and organizations, and the specific areas of responsi bility covered by them. This study will be made the focal point of the spring training pro gram planned for new officers who will be elected for 1950-51. not only funny but many are im portant. Seniors in the home management house are making practical applications of the many things they have learned in the past college years. They are learning to budget time as well as money, to change plans and to cooperate with others. Life at the “Practice House” is interest ing and fun because of the as sociations with Miss Jenkins and the girls who live there— and if “Practice makes Perfect,” they can truly sing “from the Halls of old Queens College to a bungalow for two.” Compliments of SIMPSON'S STUDIOS 118 Baldwin Ave. Compliments of Foy Electric Company CHARLOTTE FLOWER SHOP EUNICE WALDEN Artistic Design 1630 Elizabeth Ave. INEZ CAVIN Weddings—Banquets—Parties Phone 8587 Shop for Books at Booh St ore We can secure for you any book in print DOUGLAS FURRIERS & CLEANERS 1415 Elizabeth Ave. Store your furs where you can obtain them immediately GOOD DRY CLEANING Afunar I COLLEGE 1 aiAgLom.Kx.

Finally it was decided to take the positive attitude, and girls representing the best quali ties of the Junior class appeared in pantomime. “C” Collins, Lois Mann, and Barbara McCormick got many laughs from the audi ence. The stunt was connected by the appearance of the gallery dressed to represent the next take off. The gallery chairmen of the Junior class were Mildred Butler, Betty Ann Pyron, and Gwen Ewell. “Oh My Goodness,” the Senior stunt by Babs Hamby, was about memories of a day-dreaming sen ior, Barbara Ann Jobe, of her college life. The lighting made the dreams effective. The recollec tions of the senior included her first day at college. Miss Al bright’s advice about exams, and a Davidson dance. This stunt was tied together by the songs of the gallery led by Lillian Barber. The music was a take-off on the Broadway musical “Oklahoma.” The climax of the evening was the presentation of the awards. The Junior class won the cup for the best stunt, and the Sopho more class was awarded the gal lery cup. Mr. C. W. Gilchrist made the awards on behalf of the judges. The judges of the stunts were chosen by the Recreation Association. This year the three judges were: Miss Tighe and Miss Strickland from the faculty, and Mr. Gilchrist from town.
