December 15, 1949 QUEENS BLUES Page 3 + Calls From The Halls + South South Dorm is quite a mysteri ous place. One never knows what has happened, what is happening, or, by any means, what will hap- pon. It all seems to be quite the mystery. Take the time two strangers were found in the hail on first floor. They had everyone wonder ing! And yes, they were quite strange”! Towels, broomsticks, mops, pillows, and some borrowed clothes were what they were made of, but where did these folks come irom—Morrison, perhaps? i^d you hear the interesting background of Margaret Blue’s orchid^tl^e one she wore to the dance? Seems it fell out her second floor window right before the dance. Never has South heard such Screaming and hollering, but it survived with only a few minor injuries. Speaking of flowers—E leaner etner and Martha Kirven caught friends' bridal bouquets. What comes next? Anne Buggel is counting each ay until she can go home to the oig, Christmas Ring Hop at the Citadel. (Spitty—her roommate— is just counting the days.) Is Doris Dixon worried? Bob’s mad; Hartly’s happy; her old flame wrote, and Dick’s at Ga Tech. And what do we hear about Anne larke’s trouble with a Central gh School ring? ®ver notice the phone Phone Greene gets more us got? What ain’t the rest of Would vr> ^acFarland can sho’ bananas? B’ann The ’ . a new boarder in South far (v decided home was too she ig Charlotte) and so Godf^°^ hoarding. Smart girl! thg certainly looked fine all dance. Tuck was turgg^®^ the place taking her pic- SPE function must have tai^^ Laura Sue Mitchell cer- u y did seem to have had a good time. Has Jim McFarland—Davidson soph and Ann’s brother—stolen Nancy Timberlake’s heart? Well, at last Gertie Nelson got her Voice back. She had us worried lor a while. We think all her tests just left her speechless. Morrison of ■the Anyone longing for the patter little feet, just come to us patter of little mice feet, that is Who is it that Wikle is so faith ful to in Wake Forest? Lou Ellen is certainly excited about a certain Sigma Chi from Davidson. If you look at him, you can really see why. For laffs—come to Morrison. We have Peggy B. Anyone that can make her smile gets a prize. What kinda prize? That’s a good ques tion- For fun come to Morrison. II you don’t believe it ask our visitors We have lotsa company and parties every week-end. For music ya’ can come to Mor rison too. The twins give free con certs on the trumpet and French horn. Ask Kitty M. who her one and only is. Yep, no one else but Lefty Carson ’Tis a week before Christmas, and all through Carson . . • things are happening!!! Mad plans are being made for Carson’s social event of the year, a Christmas party. A big tree with gifts for everyone ... The phone rings- as usual—and a voice says Is this Queens College?”—as usual Belva is really the popular one. Three dates for the dance. She made a big hit with I^er Phi Gam, and their function is m the future. Nice work, Belva! . . . and Harry seem to have rekindled their old flame. The sparks are still shooting ... It Isn’t every boy who rates triple cuts, but the weekend at V.M.I. was worth it, eh, Bonnie??? . • • Dee’s favorite song is “My Buddy” and Bobby s Mef employment is singing it to jjgj. . . Carson is bemg invaded these days. It seems Reid has the record “Blue Christmas” and all the school has to hear it. Beautiful music!—Mary Jo has Brown’s newly made sweater on display for those untalented people to ad mire . . . Emily and Gene have something in common. Emily floats around on clouds, and Gene on a parachute. It’s love!—Beth just can’t become climatized to south ern boys. She picks a Yankee wherever she goes! At present “Butch,” a dream from Citadel, heads her list . . . Corny’s propped up in bed writing to Tommy at Duke and punctuating every sen tence with a sigh.

You know it’s an odd thing that 1/3 of Carson is campused. Find out who. It s worth a laugh . . . Ann and Claude are at outs again and Carson rocks at it’s foundations (which aren’t too firm) . . . Dot and Billy took the prize for the cutest couple. Good taste, eh? . . . Smoke is pouring out of No. 3, powder puffs creating an effective smoke screen, and candy cigarettes purchased by three adventurous souls are caus ing Council members to pass out like flies . . . ’Tis time for all good girls to be in bed and Ann is com ing ’round to check. Frazer Ring-g-g . . . eighteen girls and Miss Holtzendorff drop their books. Canasta Cards, and knitting. Dur ing the free-for-all dash that fol lows, these comments are cnrqr- heard: “I just know it’s Rucker.” “He said he’d call tonight.” “No,” from one Spartanburg brunette, “it’s Jimmy or Billy,” and Marie adds, “Those Clemson men!” The confusion ends when a male voice asks for one of those two girls who don’t feel at home away from a telephone, Pat and Anne. Some of our girls seem to have that “There’s only one man in the world” idea. The past few week-ends have found Frazer in a state of Bedlam with the confusion of sending dele gates to Davidson frat dances and the Q. C. formal. We started our house meetings off wtih a discussion of the cut system. This ended in a decision that we like the system we now have—well, it was almost decided. North Saturday afternoon at North Hall appeared to be the Grand Central Station of Queens College. Ironing boards appeared, evening dresses were being pressed, cos tumes being constructed, and last minute dances exchanged. As I walked through the mad throngs to my room I could hear Lois Mann exclaiming that Henry was here and Betty Pratt from across the hall calling that Elliott would soon be there too. On down the hall Froney Mimms, Barbara Ann Jobe, and Ochie Matlock were comparing white and black eve ning dresses for the Crystal Ball. Rainey Gamble’s date decided he didn’t like the flowers he sent her for the dance so next morning turn ed up with a white orchid. Is that better than two dozen roses, Helen? Helen Drennan, Betty Norris, Paula Lewis, Mary Long, Betsy Cromer, and Eileen Kabrich were getting ready for the KA function while Bunny Fowler and Caroline Collins were hustling around the halls in old fashioned costumes all ready for the Phi Delt function. Later in the evening I could see Ann Bailey and Betty W. Williams leaving for the Kappa Sig function and others for the SAE Pirates Ball. Although Mildred Flowers didn’t quite make it to the Crystal Ball, we hear her Terry at least got there to clean up if not dance. R.C.A. Schedules Riding Lessons This year for the first time. Queens College is offering horse back riding as a form of physical education. Riding classes are held on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons. Each class rides twice a week. These classes are held at Becker Riding Academy under the instruction of Mr. Ed Becker. All of the equestriennes look forward to these lessons. When they first began these lessons they hardly knew which side of the horse to mount. Soon Mr. Becker taught them to post. After two lessons the girls felt they knew about all there was to know about riding as they jogged up and down around the ring. Then they learn ed to make the horses trot. They next learned to make the horses canter. At this point they were allowed to ride on the trail, around the lake and through the woods. Each girl may select her favor ite horse and ride it each time, or if she prefers variety she may ride a different horse each lesson. These lessons cost $25 for the first fifteen lessons. Six additional hours are necessary for credit for the course. This class will be of fered again next semester. Stu dents who want to learn to ride should sign up now. Further in formation can be obtained from Miss Mitchell. Yep, every weekend’s a big one in North Hall but then how could it help but be with all the beauty and personality we’ve got. Don’t we love us tho?
