#1 I A I' December 18, 1933 QUEENS BLUES Page 3 Is it possible that every per son has only two thumbs? Even you would have asked that question had you passed the college corner last Satur day. A crowd of our girls were there bumming their way down town to do some Christmas shopping. I know this, because I happened to play good Samaritian to about one-fourth of them. As we drove along, our noisy chatter turned into questions of where each of us was going. I answered my interrogator that Lib and I were going to the Carolina to see “Dancing Lady.” This led to a discussion of a picture we all had seen at the Criterion featuring David Manners. Mary Lindsay said she had missed “Song of Songs,” when it was here, but she planned to see it at the Charlotte Monday. All piled out at the square, and as I watch them scatter north, east, south and west, I wished I could accompany each of them to see all the things she would buy to make someone happy. After I had parked the car, Lib and I walked to the Caro lina. We were told at the ticket office that no upstairs seats were available. That’s always the way at the Caro lina for everyone loves to go there. We decided to go shop ping until the five o’clock show. In front of Luceille’s we met the Hubbards, who were ad miring a coat in the window. Mary said she thought Lu- ceill’s had some of the best looking clothes that she had ever seen. We all agreed. The streets were crowded with enthusiastic shoppers, a sight which always thrills me. Everyone was hurrying from place to place with his arms filled with packages. Often one was pushed against an other, and I happened to run into a lady who was carrying a box of flowers from Hunter’s Floral Shop. I knew at once that this wise lady was plan ning to make her family happy with flowers for Christmas. While we were looking at a pair of bedroom slippers in Purcell’s window, Ruth Gro ver came out wearing a scarf and tarn set that she had just bought. Across the street we bump ed into Frances Scruggs. She surely did look nice. When we remarked on her outfit, she laughed and said she liked best of all her shoes, that she had just bought at Pollock’s. I knew how she felt for I al ways like shoes bought there; not only for their beauty, but also for their comfort and last ing quality. As we walked down the street whom should we meet but Miriam Story, wearing an outfit that would put Joan Crawford to shame. Accord ing to Miriam there’s no place like the DARLING SHOP for chic and style. Just in front of Efird’s, Martha Petteway appeared on the horizon wearing a lapin jacket. She confessed to us that Santa Claus had promised her one of Efird’s fur coats for being a good girl. We spent the most time in Smith-Wadsworth for every thing we saw we wanted. We made several purchases and were as satisfied with them as we could be. In front of the Carolina we met Jean Porter, who showed us a fountain pen and pencil set that she had bought for her brother at Pound and Moore. Lucky brother! After the show, we went to the “Little Store” for a dope as we always do. I asked Roye Greene if the suit he was wearing were new. He laughed and said that National Dry Cleaners always made his clothes look that way. In reading this over I notice that I have mentioned places that advertise in the Queen’s Blues! I’m proud that our girls are patronizing those who help us. Truly, the Christmas spirit I’d say. Gamma Gamma chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta Frater nity pledged five girls in their chapter house on Tuesday evening, November 28. The new pledges are: Dorothy Cathran, Dorothy Senn, and Nell Barnharde. The follow ing were re-pledged: Margaret Clegg and Margaret Jones.

Honorary Fraternities Phi Beta Chi Phi Beta Chi sponsored an interesting lecture on “Liquid Air,” by J. S. Sloan, on De cember 8. Mr. Sloan demon strated how we may drive a nail with a mercury hammer made by liquid air, how we may fry an egg in this air, several combustion experi ments, and many other in structive experiments. This demonstration was well at tended, especially by members of the science department. Sponsored by the Sopho more Class, the University of South Carolina Glee Club, Maurice Matteson, director, made its initial appearance at Queens-Chicora College Tues day evening, December 12. From the opening number through to the finish, the sing- of the young men not only came up to, but exceeded ex pectations. They showed most careful, conscientious training and rendered a program of di diversity and unusual merit. A feature of their program was the manuscript group con sisting of jolly, lilting spirit uals, mountain folk songs, and a fine rolicking song of the sea, all especially arranged for and dedicated to the Glee Club. Alumna Meeting The alumna meeting of Queens College was held De cember 7, at the home of Mrs Mason Wallace on the Monroe Road.

This promises to be an enjoyable entertainment to which the public is cordi ally invited. Katherine Shellem goes to Denver when it has only been a week since she was there. There is really an attraction more than gravity! As usual Bunny Reid came back two days late from Batesburg and everyone seemed really glad to see her.

When Thursday of holidays came Francis Norris and Mary Du McMullen couldn’t stand it, so they pulled out for David son. Reported a good time, too. Rebecca McClary thought surely she’d be ready for school by Wednesday, but no; those tonsils were just a little too bad! We miss you. Beck. Grace Weatherly had the flu so she couldn’t get back until Wednesday. Tough luck, and just during the holidays.
