Chubbuck Founded the Paper in November, 1920 MRS. McEWEN EDITS PAPER On a bleak, cold November | day, thirteen years ago, the Qmem Bluen was supposed to : go to press for the first time. The staff, under the direction of Miss Frances Chubbuck, had been working all fall trying to establish a news paper for the college. Miss Myrtle Williamson was editor-in-chief; Miss Mil dred Morse, now Mrs. J. L. McEwen, was assistant edi tor; and Miss Graham McCall, ‘ now Mrs. Mallonne, was busi- . ness manager. These editors attempted to get the news, already written, ' from the students as every editor still tries to do. Each .student wished a paper, but ! where, oh where, was the co- ! operation ? Monday, truly blue Mon day, was the day to have all the news and ads in. Of i course the editor got sick, and ; Mrs. Mallonnee’s mother had | a party at which she was needed to serve refreshments! Poor Mrs. McEwen! Ev erything was left on her shoulders. Practically every ' article had to be written, all the ads to be got, and the (Continuetl on Page 3, Col. 2.) Dr. Sam McP.

C., NOVEMBER 8, 1920 NO. 1 FOR A TRUE BLUE QUEENS Caruso and Farrar Two of the World's Greatest Art* uts in Charlotte October 25th and 29th. The College girls were given a Musical treat uncqualed in local history, when they had the priv ilege of hearing Enrico Caruso, the world’s greatest tenor, and Geraldine Farrar, America's greatest woman vocalist, last week. The largest audience that ever assembled in the City auditorium was present on the night of Octo ber 25 to hear Caruso and his fel low artists, Albert Stoessel and Miss Alice Miriam. The great VQicc that has thrilled thousands all over the world was in wonJer- ful^cniitUtion and'to his already numberless admirers. Caruso ad ded scores of new conquests. Coming four days after the ap pearance of Caruso, no other woman could have been accorded such an ovation but Farrar. Her voice, beauty and charming per sonality captivated her audience. Not only is she the most renown ed woman siitgcr of today, but she is considered by many the great est actress. Her first appearance wu'. in a group of six songs, three ok them Shumamn numbers. Upon her second appearance she gave the Recitative and .-Xtia, “Balti, Batti," from Don Giovanni, Mo- 2art. .^t her final appearance she gave a group of songs (roni'thc old-world masters. Each of these was rendered with the true con ception of the composer. Three other artists who con tributed to the charm of the con cert Were Edgar Schofield, noted bass baritone; MisS Ada Sassoli, harpist, and Mr. Gotthalf, pianist, all artists of the higlic-,! degree. In the jirocuring of these two artists the managers of the Con certs arc to be congratulated. The alumnae of Queens College has presented the world's greatest artists here, for the past few years.

One was at Edenton ; the other at New Bern. However, there were within the province Other classical._ftchDo!s iiaving a more or less extended curriculum. Of these Queens Col lege or Museum was the best. Thi» school was established at an early date and flourished about 17('/) under the Rev. Toseph Alex- that a duty of six pence per gal lon should be put on all rum or liquors brought into and dispens ed in Mecklenburg County, which duties were to be collected and paid to the treasure of the college. The amended charter was ap proved by the Royal Governor and the crown Attorney was forward ed in March 1771 to the King for his action. In .-Xpril, one year later 1771, the act was disallowed by tlie King. The furor raised by this disallowance led directly to the demand for the “Education Cause’’ in the Constitution of the Judge F. Helms Makes Plea To Students GREETINGS. It has been said “There's nothing in a name,’’ but a fit ting name is like words fitly chosen, each reflects charac ter, or calls attention to some idea to be lived up to. Queens Blues, the little paper about to go to press, the timid child. 1921 and 1922 of Queens College, reflects the staunch, loyal character of the classes responsible for its being. Fate seemed to decree that on two successive years Queens Col lege Freshman Cass should be made up of purposeful young women who would do things. And true to this embryonic promise, these young women as upper classmen have ven tured into new fields and are establishing a college semi monthly paper, which will give many of them a chance to take the initiative and burst the bonds which stamped them as mere followers instead of lead ers in thought. In their zeal for outward exf precsioD, may I not remind Ihem that their adopted name does not merely signify the color of their Alma Mater, but the color made sacred by the command of God Himself, which calls for a separation from all that is commonplace or crude in thought or utter ance. May I not warn them that in wearing this color their responsibility is greatly in creased, and that we shall look for, not only an alertness de veloped in the student body, but a directness and clearness in speech, and a purity and beauty of expression, which shotdd always characterize the speech of the womanly woman.

Paper Excerps Are of Interest Miss Chubbuck’s Editorial and Dean’s Welcome of Special Import On looking through the first issue of the Queens Blues, one finds the follow ing excerpts which are of in terest to us today. The first article of interest which catches our eye is the first- editorial. ' “The possibility of a news paper for Queens College was discussed at the first meeting, of the class of 1920, early in September. The plan was submitted to the Senior class and after a brief discussion, the Junior class was entrust ed with the publication of the Queens Blues. The Queens Blues is to be. the official organ of the stu dent body, of the Y. W. C. A., and of the Athletic Associa tion of Queens College; it is to be published each year by the members of the Junior Class in co-operation with the rest of the student body. It is founded on a firm belief that Queens College has a fu- (ContinueI on Page 3, Col. 4.) Creed Of A Queens-Chicora Girl DISCUSS THE RELIEF DRIVE Dr. Sam MePheeteras Glas gow of the Independent Pres byterian Church, of Savan nah, Georgia, will be at Queens College, November 21- 23, as leader of the Reconse cration Meeting of the Stu dent Christian Association. The theme of this meeting will be the aim of the S. C. A., to have every member accept as her life motto: “For me to live in Christ,” Phil. 1:21. Dr. Glasgow will present and stress to the students new phases of that aim. During bis visit to the college, he will speak in chapel on November 22 and 23, and will lead open meetings each night. Dr. Glasgow has a singu lar appeal for young people, and all those who have come in contact with him now re gard him as a particular and real friend. Many of the Queens students knew Dr. Glasgow at the Davidson Con ferences, where each year he conducts a Bible class. Judge Fred Helms, head of the relief drive in this city for the United Welfare Asso ciation, made a plea in chapel, November 6, that the students go over lOO'h in helping the poor and needy of Charlotte during this winter. Other representatives of the association present were, Mrs. McAfee and Mrs. J. Rush Shull. The latter introduced the speaker, Judge Helms. Judge Helms asked each student to pay at least one dollar for the cause. “Our wealth,” he stated, “lies not in material things, but in what we do with these ma terial things .... After all, only one thing abides—that is charity, and the rewards we gain from charity.” Dean McLean has been ap pointed to take charge of the collection of donations from the college. Every student who wishes to give has been asked to turn in her money to the president of her class. Tuesday, November 14, has been set aside as a special day for all school donations. Founder of Queens Blues Woman of Many Interests Miss Florence S. Chubbuck, founder of the Queens Blues, obtained her degree at West ern Reserve University in Ohio. In the fall of 1920, she came to Queens College, where she was made the head of the English Department. I In 1925 she left Queens for ’ Ohio State College, where she obtained her masters degree, j From Ohio State, she went to Hood College. Miss Chubbuck was very interested in journalism and newspaper work. Wherever she went she established new'spapers or worked with newspaper staffs. She was also interested in the radio and in dramatics. She has often taken dramatic parts over the radio. Those teachers who were at Queens in 1920-1925 say of Miss Chubbuck, that she was an outstanding teacher. She was energetic, capable, and was a woman of diversified interests. During the school year 1932-1933, the need for a creed for Queens-Chicora Col lege was realized. As the re sult of a contest, the best creed, written by Carol Reeves, was chosen. Carol Reeves, a sophomore, was a transfer from Rollins College in Florida, where she was outstanding in journal ism. Many of her poems and works were printed in the Rollins publications and also in those of Queens-Chicora College. Carol is this year a student at the University of Florida. The Creed, which is print ed below, will be treated in detail during the school year. The purpose of this is to bring the creed before each student as an important in terest of her school life. 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. jTo apply herself with equal diligence to work and play. To develop her personality, making scholarship, service, leadership, and character, the goals of its fulfillment. To think of God as her Maker, and look to Him for guid ance. To conform to the ideals of her college socially, spiritually, and mentally, thus striving toward fine Christian womanhood. —Carol Reeves, ’35.
