QUEEN’S BLUES
October 28, 1933
mm
Thelma Stone
In the fall of 1925, Thelma
Stone entered Queens-Chicora
College as a Freshman. Last
week she left her Alma Ma
ter to accept a responsible po
sition as secretary to the
manager of the Home Loan
Bureau, located in Salisbury,
N. C.
Eight years ago Thelma
came to Queens from Anchor
age, Ky., to receive her edu
cation. We who did not
know her at that time can see
that she studied diligently
and maintained a high scho
lastic record by a glance at
the comments accompanying
her picture in the Edelweiss.
She was a member of four of
the honorary societies on our
campus—the Latin Club, Phi
Beta Chi, the English Club,
and the Iota Xi. Her
leadership is also proved
by the fact that dur
ing the last two years of her
college life she was chosen as
an officer of each of these so
cieties. These two lines which
were quoted beneath her pic
ture seem to us quite fitting:
‘Those graceful acts, those
thousand decencies
That daily flow from all her
words and actions.”
In the spring of 1929 she
received her A.B. degree in
French. For the next four
years she remained at Queens
as secretary to Dr. Frazer.
During this time she had
charge of the Book Store and
also taught a class in typing.
Her two chief interests be
sides her work are music and
French. When in high school
at Anchorage, Ky., she stud
ied music and after coming
here kept up her practice.
Miss Stone has spent her
summer vacations doing grad
uate work in French. In the
summer of 1931 she went to
France with Mrs. Smith, a
member of our faculty, and
studied at the University of
Grenoble and at L’Alliance
Francais. During this past
summer she worked on her
Master’s Degree at Chapel
Hill.
Her leaving Queens-Chicora
came as a surprise to us all.
Since her departure we have
heard many favorable com
ments about her. A member
of our faculty remarks,
“Thelma is proficient and ver
satile. I’m: glad that she is
doing so well.” A Freshman

says, “I was scared to death of
Miss Stone when I started
working in the Book Store.
She was so businesslike and
all, but I soon found out that
she really wasn’t such a bear.”
Then the dignified Senior ex
presses the sentiment of most
of us when she says, “I can’t
imagine Queens-Chicora with
out Thelma. She just seems
to belong here.”

question. The talks are not
only for the Home Economics
Girls, but for everybody. Any

WEBSTER’S
COLLEGIATE
“The best American dictionary that has yet appeared
for a college student to keep within arm’s reach. What he
does not find between its covers in relation to the general
use of words in speech or on printed pages will not be
necessary to a liberal arts degree.”—Orton Lowe, Direc
tor, Winter Institute of Literature, University of Miami.
The best abridged dictionary because it is based on the
“Supreme Authority”—Webster’s New International Dictionary.
106,000 entries including hundreds of new words, with defini
tions, spellings, and correct use; a dictionary of Biography: a
Gazetteer; rules of punctuation; use of capitals, abbreviations,
etc.; a dictionary of forelpn words and phrases. JIany other
features of practical value. 1,268 pages. 1,700 illustrations.
