May Day Festival
Choral Club Will Take Part in
Annual Celebration for
First Time
ATTENDANTS NOT YET
SELECTED
May Day celebration this year
will be slightly different from the
usual event held at Queens-Chi-
co a. The program will be in the
fo m of a Spanish fest.val day.
Elabo''ate regional costumes used
in the folk dances will help create
a realistic atmosphere. The Choral
Club under the direction of Miss
Elizabeth Stair will sing’several
folk songs. This unusual feature
will help make the 19,35 May Day
one of the very best, and one that
will long be remembered by the
spectators.

have not been selected by Clare
Hazel, the queen. Twenty-four

NEW ARRANGEMENT OF CLASSES
IS LIKELY TO GO INTO EFFECT
Queens Delegates
Go To Convention
Queens-Chicora will be repre
sented at the twentieth annual con
ference of the Southern Intercol
legiate Association of Student Gov
ernment, says Ruth Grover, presi
dent of the student body.
This year the conference will be
held in April, at Florida State Col
lege, Tallahassee, Fla. Delegates
from Queens will include Grover,
her successor elected early in April,
and probably two others.
The purpose of the Association is
“to discuss for mutual benefit
problems of government presented
by delegates and, if desirable, to
adopt recommendations; also, to
foster and demonstrate a spirit of
helpfulness in the colleges which
are members of the Association.”
Rigid requirements must be met by
applicants for membership.
At the conference held April
5-7, 1934, the entertaining college
was the University of Tennessee,
Knoxville, Tenn. Delegates from
Queens-Chicora were Ruth Grover,
Mary China Stephenson, Dot Coth
ran, and Margaret Mitchell.

KENNEDY HEADS COMMITTEE
Seven Girls Join
National League
The League of Evangelical Stu
dents has officially recognized a
group on this campus and has
made it a chapter of the national
organization. The League operates
for the defense and propogation of
the Gospel in the modern student
world.
The following seven Queens-
Chicora girls have met the require
ments for active membership:
Continued on Pa^e 2, Col. 2
Work is now going forward by
a committee of faculty members on
a project which will radically
change the present schedule of
classes. Serving on the investigat
ing committee are Mr. Kennedy,
chairman, Dr. Howe, Miss Jones,
and Miss Inglis.
The program, which has many
advantages over the present sys
tem of classes meeting in the morn
ing and laboratory sessions in the
afternoons, will probably be put
into effect next September.
MANY ADVANTAGES
Good points of the new plan
would be as follows:
1. Eliminate the “privileged
student” who has her classes dur
ing the first hours of the morning
and is then free almost every after
noon. This would be a change in
favor of home economics students,
who have four three-hour labora
tories each week.
2. Day students, in having to
stay on the campus longer each
day, would find participation in
extra-curricular activities easier
for them and would learn to know
other students better.
3. Students would have a bet
ter opportunity to learn the use
of the library and would use the
school library in preference to the
city library.
4. Centei the student’s life
around the college more by keep-
’ng her on the campus longer each
5. Cause better attendance at
meetings of clubs and honorary
groups in as much as the students
would be on the campus more.
6. The plan would be fairer to
the teachers, some of whom are
now occupied from 8:30 A. M. to
4:30 P. M. during several days of
the week.
7. Most colleges and universi
ties use this system and find it
satisfactory.
Freshmen Practice
Plays Next Week
Rehearsals for the long-delayed
plays to be given by the freshmen
will get under way next week, and
the program is scheduled for the
first of next month. A small ad
mission will be charged and pro
ceeds will be used for decorating
the office of the student council.
A committee header by Lucile
Dulin read and selected two one-
act plays, A Cup of Tea and “The
Disitinguished Service,” to be di
rected by Mary Alice Roebke and
Emma Renn Jones, respectively.

Alpha Gams Lead in
Scholastic Averages
Scholastic averages for the sec
ond quarter made by members of
the six national sorority chapters
on the campus have been compiled
by the dean’s office. The ratings,
presenting a marked contrast with
those of the first quarter, are as
follows: Alpha Gamma Delta,
84.09; Kappa Delta, 83.15; Chi
Omega, 82.85; Alpha Delta Pi,
82.67; Alpha Delta Theta, 80.61;
and Phi Mu, 76.72.
Last quarter the averages rank
ed in this order: Chi Omega,
84.06; Alpha Gamma Delta, 83.72;
Kappa Delta, 83.60; Alpha Delta
Pi, 82.89; Alpha Delta Theta
82.28; Phi Mu, 81.48.
Keen competition exists between
the chapters for these scholastic
honors. Each year a cup is given
to the group maintaining the high
est average throughout the year.
Initiation of pledges of the six
natip'nal Greek letter sororities
will be held next Saturday after
noon, the date set by the Pan-Hel
lenic Council. Ceremonies will
take place at the individual soror
ity houses.
This event will attract many
alumnae from several states and
will be an outstanding event of the
year. Much more importance is
attached to this initiation date than
the one held just before gradua
tion. Next week-end will be filled
with social engagements, each
chapter entertaining in honor of
her initiates.
WILL BE INITIATED
Because grades from re-exami
nations are not available .at the
time of this printing, many
pledges unable to be named now
will be initiated. Those certain at
this time are the following: Alpha
Gamma Delta, Jo McDonald, Betty
Lee Holland, Helen Williams,
Martha Rainey, Ellen Kinghorn,
and Nancy Beaty; Alpha Delta Pi,
Nancy Timberlake and Betty Ba

Characteristics of
Students Recorded
Various Types of
Programs Planned
Future programs for student
chapels show great diversity, ac
cording to a report by May Libby
Smith, chairman of the program
committee.
Today Clarence Bernard, popu
lar pupil of Miss Elizabeth Starr,
of the music department, will ren
der several selections. His accom
panist will be Lula Hall. Mr.
Bernard will be well remembered
for his numbers given between acts
on the dramatic department’s eve
ning program.
On March 13 the third fashion
show to be given this year by
Stewart’s Inc., will fill the chapel
hour. As in the past, members of
the home economics classes will
serve as models. Other programs
will be given by the Dramatic
Group of the Literary Society, the
Spanish Club, and by Grace Hub
bard, singer.
MANY MUSICAL PROGRAMS
Favorite entertainers of the past
few months have included the
Book-Tea Group of the Literary
Society, Martha Petteway. pianist,
Simpson’s Kindergarten, Mrs.
Maurice Townend, chellist, and
Sarah Hunsucker, violinist. Wed
nesday Stewart’s, Inc., give their
second fashion show.
In an effort to enable graduates
to obtain positions for which they
are suited and positions which they
are capable of holding, a step has
been taken to rate the students not
only on the basis of scholarship
but on their character as well.
Each instructor fills out the
scale which has been drawn up by
the faculty. Students are graded
on the following points: Co-opera
tion, industry, courtesy, emotional
stability, iniative, integrity, lead
ership, pleasing appearance, re
finement, and reliability. There
are five ratings of these points:
poor, low, average, high, and very
high.
After each teacher has submitted
her reports, all the reports on
each students are averaged and
the average record placed on file.
These reports will be very valuable
in future years to the students and
the college. The tendency of today
is not so much to employ appli
cants holding very high scholastic
records but to employ the person
whose moral standards are high
est.
