Poetry Club Holds
February Session
Poetr}^ Club held its February
meeting at the Chi Omega house,
•the afternoon of February 21. The
session was most informal, the
members sitting" around a
crackling fire while Mrs. Town-
end, Catherine McKlesky, and

Allan Bases Speech
On Queens Creed
Dr. Allan of the Charlotte
Mental Hygiene Clinic, spoke be
fore the student body during the
Wednesday chapel hour, March
8. She was associated with Win-
throp College last year.
Taking the creed of the Queens-
Chicora girl, written by Carol
Reeves, as the basis of her dis
cussion, Dr. Allan said that the
creed was written from a purely
ethical standpoint and that she
would attempt to show its value
from a mental hygienic view. .She
used incidents from her clinic
w'ork to illustrate her points. She
stated that personality is the most
important factor, and that every
creed should be modified to suit
the individual. Personality can
be built up through the forming
of the right habits. Everyone can
develop character and is capable
of service to a certain extent.
Miss Lily Grace Alatheson,
national worker for the Women's
Christian Temperance Union
made an address to the students
and faculty in chapel, Tuesday.
March 7th. She stressed the im
portance of temperance to mater
ial and spiritual well-being. “'This
age of super - travel and super
machinery calls for a super mind,”
she said, “and the brain is not in
its best condition, even if only a
small amount of alcohol has Ijeen
taken.”
Mrs. W. B. Lindsay, state presi-
ient of the union, introduced Miss
Matheson and announced a con
test, offering prizes for the best
essay on the subject: “What
Modern Social Order Could Gain
by Abandoning the Drink
Custom?” This essay is to con
tain from 1,000 to 1,500 words
and is to be judged on clearness
of thought, accuracy, originality,
interest, and literary style. The
manuscript must be typewritten.
The contest is open to all Queens-
Chicora students, and prizes of
$25, $15, and $10 will be awarded
to the three best in the school.
Last year, Edith Storm was
the winner in the school, and in
1931, Mary Groome McNinch
won the prize at Queens, in the
state and in the national contest.
One of the most heralded days
of all the year, initiation day, was
celebrated with great festivity on
February 25th. Initiations were
held at various hours during
the afternoon, and they were at
tended by many alumnae from
Charlotte and the two Carolinas.
