ens’ Play, Christ
mas Carol
The two literary societies,
Pi Delta and Gamma Sigma,
have arranged a great treat
for the students this year in
the way of a Christmas sui'-
prise. A Christmas dinner is
to be given in the dining room
of the college; and following
the dinner the Little Theatre
is to present the play “Christ
mas Carol,” Charles Dickens’
immortal story of Christmas.
The dinner and play will take
place on Tuesday night, Dec
ember 19.
Traditional Christmas
Dinner
The Christmas dinner has
been a tradition at Queens for
many years. It has always
been a formal affair starting
at 6:00 o’clock. This year the
day students have been cordi
ally invited to come. The price
of the turkey dinner—and it’s
always a dandy one—will be
30 cents this year instead of
50 cents as it was last year.
Tables will be arranged so that
the students may sit with
their own class.
Little Theatre Play
After the dinner at 8:15
o’clock, the Little Theatre
workshop will present—abso
lutely free—an adaption of
Charles Dickens’ Christmas
Carol. Miss Louisa Duls is
the director for the play. Be
tween scenes carols will be
sung under the leadership of
Billy Senn.
The cast of characters is:
Scrooge, Parks McConnell;
Bob Crachet, Jim Moore; Tiny
Tim, Kennedy Gammage; Mrs.
Cracher, Margaret Long.
Others included in the cast
are: Catherine Bra, Hanna
Knowlton, John Larsen, Ralph
Finlayson, Monroe Landreth,
Billy Senn, Jach Johnson, and
Charles Dudley.

Supper at Hut Sunday
Night
We want to remind the
boarding students of the sup
per that will be given in the
Y hut Sunday night. These
meetings have been very suc
cessful and we are sure you
will enjoy the coming one
more than any of the others.
There will be the usual sup
per followed by carol singing
with the Moravian candle
service.

The first was
ry’s Journal, a
ine, natural young girl o ^
Victorian age, who, beside
being interested in the boys,
or “snipes,” of her day, longed
for fame. This book, pub
lished exactly as it was found
in spite of the “atrocious spel
ling,” became a best seller.
The next was Flush, a story
of Elizabeth Barret Brown
ing’s dog told through the
senses of smell and hearing
by Virginia Wolff. The last
was the book of thirteen lyrics
by Sara Teasdale, containing
the last poem she wrote before
her death last spring.
Dr. Blair also spoke of mod-
jrn fiction, its return to the
.. romantic novel, as in Anthony
1 Adverse; its return to the soil,
I as in On the Earth Farm; and
i the last novels in a series,
I such as One More River and
I Master of Julva.

Student Government
Report
The Student Government
reports that almost the entire
student body signed the
pledge cards. They appreci
ate this splendid cooperation.
There were only about forty
students who did not sign
these cards.
Out of the 150 boarders
127 have already paid their
budget fees; and out of the
190 day students 110 have
paid or have signed notes
promising to pay at a definite
date. The boarders are
ahead but not by a large
margin. AYe would like to
see the student body go 100%
in paying this fee.
I
The Charlotte Little Theatre
is anxious for Queens students
to enter one-act plays in its
annual contest, said Mrs. M.
G. Townend, who is on the
committee for making ar
rangements. A ten dollar
prize will be given for the best
play.
Each play must be un
signed, the author’s name
placed in an envelope on which
the title of the play will be
written. The envelope will
not be opened until the judges
make this decision.
The plays must be in by
March 1st.
See Mrs. Townend or Dr.
Stout for further information.
Voting by Secret

Speeches Heard
in Chapel
It was announced in Chapel
December 14 that as a result
of the voting December 13,
[Tary Steele Hubbard had been
elected May Queen. Miss Hub
bard has choosen for her maid
of honor in the May Court, her
sister, Grace Hubbard. Grace

Campaign Speeches
The campaign managers
have speeches for their candi
dates during the chapel period
Dec. 13th in the auditorium
of the college. The candidates
were elected by the voting of
the student body. The three
persons receiving the most
votes for nomination were put
up as candidates for May
Queen. Those put up were
Lois Meacham, Houhgla Lee
McCullum, and Mary Steele
Hubbard. Campaign manag-
;rs were Jean Orr, Claudia Mc-
Chesney, and Ruth Grover re
spectively. Each campaign
manager spoke on the worth,
ability, character, etc. of her
choice. Jean Orr, campaign
manager for Lois Meacham,
introduced her subject in an
unusual manner—when the
candidate’s name was announ
ced, two girls dressed as pages
marched down the aisles blow
ing trumpets, thus calling at
tention to their nominee.
Voting by Secret Ballot
The voting for nominees
and finally for the candidates
was carried on in the Day
Student Building by secret
ballot. Members of the Gen
eral Council were in charge of
the voting.
