Queens Blues To
Have March Contest
Sophomores and Freshmen To
Issue Paper Next Month
The two March issues of the
Queens Blues will be edited by
the sophomore and freshman
classes. Ruth Grover and Jimmy
Wilson were elected editor and
business manager, respectively,
by the sophomores. lone Smith
will edit the freshman issue with
Frances Raley as business man
ager. These students have had
former experience and have
shown themselves capable of
their responsibilities. The two
staff officers will choose their
assistants and managers.
Since 1931 it has been the an
nual custom of the junior staff
to hold a contest between the
two lower classes. The publica
tion of an issue by each class is
effective in displaying the journal
istic and business abilities of the
students who are to become future
staff members.
The pa]>er wdll be judged by
its journalistic qualities and its
business management, shown
chiefly by the number and size
of advertisements solicited. A
prize of $5 will l)e awarded to
the class publishing the most
worthy issue.
