THOUGHTS FROM DR. DuBOSE
Many and varied are the activities which break the routine of
our regular school work. The evangelistic services, held recently
by Dr. Henry Wade DuBose of Spartanliurg, S. C., were of much
benefit and enjoyment to each of us.
Dr. DuBose showed us that the religion of Jesus is abundant
and has rich life-giving powers. No one needs the Spirit of Jesus
Christ more than a college student. The Holy Spirit gives light,
])ower, joy, jiurity. Christ not only sees the outwards bits of evil
in our lives, but also the thought and interest of our hearts. He
sees human need and suffering and affords a constant spring of
encouragement to those who seek after Him. There are two courses
from which all of us must choose—the right or God’s wa}", or the
wrong, man's way. Most of us who look back have cause to be
ashamed, because we have been living up to the ideals of men rather
than to those of God. Life has become a constant struggle to keep
up appearances. May we, study to show ourselves approved unto
tod, workmen that need not be ashamed.—R. C.
PLAY THE GAME BY RULES
'I'here are rules to every game which become important only
as they are followed and obeyed. A jierson who doesn't play the
game according to the rules is unsuccessful. There are rules in
life which may be applied in the same manner.
I'he rules of a game are easy to learn; the difficulty comes in
following them. At first, we find rules which do not seem applicable
to the game and which we wish to exclude. We also find rules
which are difficult to follow, because they apparently olistruct the
goal of winning. Some avoid the rules and have a difficult time
making the victory. They derive no wholesome pleasure in the
process of winning. The fair player knows how to follow the rules.
He knows they are made to help and guide him in the play. If he
follows them, he has the satisfaction of fair play and the greater
possibility of winning. To the real player the rules are not a
hindrance but a help, an indispensable means of guidance.
ONE WAY TO SHOW YOUR LOYALTY
Whether our college has a good name depends, to some extent,
upon each member of the student body. What a student says about
her college and what a student does influences the opinions of
others concerning her Alma Mater. Since this is true, every girl
should make an effort to boost her college and to make it a worth
while institution in the sight of others. It is her duty, as a loyal
student or alumna, to encourage the best attitude and spirit toward
her school.
CREED OF A QUEENS CHICORA GIRL
To be adaptable, accepting with good faith the new and the
difficult.
To exhibit friendliness, tact, and sympathy in her relation with
her fellow students.
To conduct herself as a true sportswoman in all situations.
To be sincere in all things.
To observe neatness, modesty, and good taste in dress.
To conduct herself as a gentlewoman both on and off the campus.
To apply herself with equal diligence to work and play.
To develop her personality, making scholarship, service, leader
ship, and character, the goals of its fulfillment.
To think of God as her Maker, and look to Him for guidance.
To conform to the ideals of her college socially, spiritually, and
mentally, thus striving toward fine, Christian womanhood.
—Carol Reeves.
The traditions of Queens-
Chicora are a heritage established
liy the old Queens Museum and
continued by the succeeding in
stitutions which developed into
Queens-Chicora college. We do
not realize how interesting is the
historv' of our college, but a
glimpse into the files of the
Queens Blues presents an inter
esting array of facts which tell
us a great deal about the life of
former students.
In turning over the issues of the
twelve volumes, one will en
counter a mine of interesting and
amus'.ing information. Headlines,
such as these, are outstanding:
“Thanksgiving Day Is Proclaim
ed By Wilson," “Caruso And
Farrar, Two of World’s Greatest
Artists, In Charlotte October 25th
and 29th,’’ “Dr. Frazer Visits
Queens,” “Mrs. Ruth Br3'an Owen
To Lecture In Queens Auditor
ium.” The life of the alumnae as
students was happy and varied.
Parties, proms, concerts, lec
tures, and organization programs
filled a busy year. The Queens
Blues reflects this life and in-
orms much concerning the found
ing and organizing of our present
campus clubs and sororities. We
read that the Light Blues and
Dark Blues are to have a liasket-
ball game on a certain day in 1923.
We find frequent accounts of
conventions, election of officers.
literary society meetings, social
life and many other phases of
college activity.
The birthday of the Queens
Blues was November 8, 1920,
when the first issue appeared. It
was established as a junior class
publication with Mjwtle William
son as editor-in-chief and Graham
McCall as business manager. The
first editorial summarizes the
aims of the Queens Blues. “The
Queens Blues is founded on a
firm belief that Queens College
has a future before her which
shall surpass and be worthy of
former record. By giving voice
to the hopes and the ideals of the
present student bodvq the faculty,
and the alumnae, it is hoped that
they may be drawn closer to
gether, and working together,
may hasten the day when Queens
shall attain this high standard.
To reach this goal is to be true
to the spirit of Queens College;
this paper, it is hoped, will in
crease that sjiirit, the sjiirit of
loyalty, of faithfulness to the l^est
interest of all, and of sei'-yice in
an\' form, which has character
ized the students of Queens in the
Fast. ... It is the hope of the
Queens Blues to be able to hasten
this new day for Queens to lead
on to higher ideals in every phase
of her life and to keeji this col
lege a true blue Queens.”

THE SHADOW
'i'he Shadow is capable of tak
ing more than one form, so you
can never guess who the Shadow
is. The former Shadow has been
pursued and discovered in one or
wo nooks and therefore, has gone
into hiding. .A.nother Shadow has
arisen—so beware !
We hope that Rud}" Valee will
have a good impression of Queens
after having perused the catalog
and hand-book donated in ex
change for an autograph.
Mrs. Booker has decided to
make more week-end trips to
Raleigh, especially when they
have Kiwanis banquets, you
know, she came back with a
dozen more dishes than she left.
They have contests and prizes in
Raleigh ; somebody has to win.
Florence Moffett is lucky too.
She is enjoying the use of a
powder box, the fruits of a con
test to get the most words out
of Valentine. We’ll admit that
there’s not much competiticin
these davs.
Katherine McBath, more inti
mately known as Kaky Lou,
should go in for assistanceship
with Uncle Ben for making re-
|!airs and constructing shower
baths, what-noits, and shoe-racks.
.4 good suggestion would be to
i^atent those numerous devices
and make a fortune.
Who is the proctor that stomps
down the hall during cjuiet hour
and study-hall and “s-h-s” at the
same time?
Senior table is disturbed. Vir
ginia Anderson hasn’t spoken any
h rench for the last two meals.
She’s practice teaching en fran-
cais. Pity the poor kids.
A few similes: As regular as
the letters that Caroline Wharton
sends not a thousand miles away
—as punctual as Betty White ami
Eve Hill to the dining room—as
musical as the static from the
radio in South dormitor}^ — as
scarlet as the blushing student
in education 30b.
