Queen^s Blues
Sample Copy
New Contract With Herald
Publishing Co.
This sample edition of the
Queens Blues is to show the
student subscribers what the
new paper is to be like in the
future. The contract this
year is a new one with a dif
ferent firm of publishers and
’t calls for a larger edition of
the paper. The customary
size will be four pages, and
the paper will appear every
other Friday.
Only the most important
news has been placed in this
issue, which has been put out
on’y to give an idea of what
the paper is going to be. The
staff thinks it suitable to pub
lish this sample for the pur
pose of familiarizing the stu
dents with their new paper.
We will run several new fea
tures including the Open
Forum. We wish for the stu
dents themselves to evince
sufficient interest to desire to
contribute to this and other
columns of the paper. It is
in this manner and through
such a medium that we hope
to make the Queens Blues
most representative of the stu
dent body.
We hope to make this year’s
paper the most successful of
all. Your co-operation with
the staff will not only make
this a possibility but an ac
complished fact.
“The Master
Builder”
Ibsen Players Present World
Famous Play
Kappa Omicron, honorary
English sorority of Queens-
Chicora College, will sponsor
a presentation of Henrik
Ibsen’s “The Master Builder,”
by Borgny Hammer and her
players at the college on Octo
ber 14.
Madame Hammer, who has
toured America on four dif
ferent occasions, is now on a
tour from coast to coast. The
Norwegian-American actress
has received from critics ac
claim as an actress far above
ordinary capabilities. They
have compared her work with
that of Mrs. Fiske, Nazimova,
and Sarah Bernhardt.
The Madame Hammer Com
pany has played at Wake
Forest, at the State College in
Raleigh, at Duke University,
and at Chapel Hill.
“The Master Builder,” more
than any other play Ibsen
wrote, possesses a strange,
illusive, haunting, enthralling
beauty. It is a story of a man
who reaches the pinnacle of
success by climbing over and
tramping down less strong
men.
Borgny Hammer assumes
the role of the ghost-like Alene
Saluess. Brane Nassen plays
the title role. Bargny Nor-
een, the gifted and beautiful
daughter of Madame Ham
mer, appears as Miss Hilde
The Pi Delta and the Gam
ma Sigma literary societies,
which have for a long time
been an important and out
standing organization on the
campus, recently resumed
their activities. Bids were
issued to the new girls and
a formal initiation service
was held on Thursday, Octo
ber 12 at 4:30 o’clock. A tea,
in honor of the initiate, will
be given soon.
Under the leadership of
Ann McLaughlin, president
cf Pi Delta, and Claudia Mc-
Chesney, president of Gam
ma Sigma, the societies are
destined to make unsurpass
able progress this year.
The Edelweiss
Pictures Taken
Pictures for the Edelweiss
were taken during the past
week by Mr. R. L. Shaen,
affiliated with the Zausky
Company of Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. Mr. Shean has
made photographs of renown
ed doctors and lawyers and
business men, men known in
influential circles throughout
the North and South.
Mr. Shaen has announced
that proofs will be ready with
in a week or ten days, and
the staff of the Edelweiss
urges every girl to co-operate
then by handing in her choice
of her proofs promptly.
The contracts for the print
ing and engraving of the 1934
Edelweiss have again been
awarded to the Queens City
Printing Company and to the
Charlotte Engraving Com
pany. The staff has elected
an attractive and original
theme for this Edelweiss and
promises an Annual which
will be distinctive of Queen-
Chicora College.
A Friendly
Welcome
From the upper classmen
comes a welcome to the Fresh
men and the new students en
tering our college. We are
glad to see so many new faces
and to make so many more
new friends. We hope that
v/e can make your college days
as happy as ours have been.
Remember that we are your
friends and that we want to
help you to make the most of
your college career. Though
the Freshmen may find their
days encumbered with many
misfortunes in respect to les
sens and rat week, yet they
should remember that with
out these trials, college just
would not be college. And
though it may seem to each
Frosh that her particular
function is to afford enter
tainment for the cold-hearted
Sophs, yet she will find that
it is just a part of the game
that we have all played. And
good sportsmanship is the
winning card. It takes the
trick in any game you may be
called upon to play through
out your college life and on
into your life in the world be
yond graduation.

ALUMNAE GIFT
TO DAY STUDENT
The day students are cer
tainly the center of attrac
tion this year, both literally
and figuratively. Being pre
sented with a beautiful new
building for their own pri
vate use was astounding
enough. Now we learn that
the Charlotte Chapter of
Queens-Chicora Alumnae is
preparing to furnish the new
building charmingly and
tastefully so that the day
students may be as proud of
the interior as they are of
the exterior.
Mrs. Fred B. Helms, presi
dent of the Charlotte Chap
ter, has appointed commit
tees to take charge of the
purchasing of furnishings
immediately. Mrs. W. H.
Belk, always active in
Queens-Chicora’s hehalf, is
also a main leader of this
project.
The “Alums” could have
thought of no better way to
benefit their college or their
sisters in town and we wish
to take this opportunity to
commend their act.
