ATTENDANCE AT STUDENT RECITALS At a recent student music recital only a few students of the music department were among those present. There were twelve girls in the recital and only a few in the audience. Those twelve girls and their teachers worked on the recital for weeks in advance. They spent their precious time practicing and preparing themselves not only for their own good but for the pleasure and enjoyment of others. ^Members of an audience get almost as much musical education while listening to a recital as they do when they take part in it. Anyone who wishes to continue with her music training should make a habit of attending as many recitals and concerts as possible. By watching and liearing- other students play or sing she can profit in correcting her own mistakes. Now, how would you feel if you had worked about two months on a recital piece and had expected to have at least the students of the department in the audience and then a mere handful of students showed up? If others had not come to your recital, more than likely you would not bother to go to theirs. But that i.s the wrong spirit all the way around. Of course all members of the student body should be interested in each other. A.B. students should want to know and hear what music students are doing in their work. This interest should send them to the concerts and recitals but if tlie music students themselves do not attend the recitals, how can other students be expected to keep an interest in them? This question must also be considered from tlic standpoint of the student who is playing in the recital. Part of her training is based on getting used to playing before an audience of a good size. No one can simply play or sing with perfection the first two or three times she makes her stage appearance. If she has no audience to speak of, naturally this type of practicing will not do her much good as far as stage performance practice is concerned. Music students, here is a challenge to you from faculty members of tlie music department and from others interested in music. Why not try to turn out with one hundred per cent perfect attendance at the next student recital? Build up the interest in the school music department by proving that you yourself are interested in the depart ment and its members. You have a right to be proud of its accom plishments in the last few years so why not do something about showing this pride? You set an example by your attendance at recitals and others will soon show more of their interest in music! Members of the staff of the Queens Blues wish to extend their deepest sympathy to Annie Laurie Anderson and Frances .Marion O’Hair in their recent bereavement. Dear Sis: You owe me a letter, my one and only, but there is so much happening around here that I must write. It may be the urge of spring, but noting the snow outside the window, I would rather put it down to the irresistible impulse which drives people to disclose gossip. Rather crude, but you see what I mean. Maujer and Nancy have joined the ranks of those listed in that feature in the Blues recently as attached to a fraternity pin. Maujer’s is a sweetheart pin, but, to my ex perienced eye, Nancy’s looks like the real thing. Congratulations, Fiji’s! Speaking of fraternity pins, only yesterday I noticed Nina Brown’s SPE pin. Very excited^ I said something to some one about it and they rewarded my wide-awake vigi lance with, “She’s had it since before scliool started this year, you nut!” Oh, well, I did find out that it is somehow connected with Lulu Low- rance’s brother. Ruth Archer is looking forward to Lin’s visit sometime soon . . . Winnie is traveling with Mary King this week-end to see Harold in Co- umhia . . . Dot Wright is spending the week-end with Re.x ... at her lome . . . Ellen and Dobby and Margaret form a triangle on Sunday afternoons . . . though not on the same Sundays . . . Judy and Elliott are bewailing the fact that spring lolidays have been changed so they don’t coincide with Clemson’s . . • Roger seems to have met his match . . Oh, Susie . . . Davidson and Queens definitely click on the mid night dancing hour . . . the airport was popular the other night and were some of the people embarrassed . the newspaper man even thought Monday was Tuesday and definitely scared our ed . . . Some of the people around here look like an army officer or Indian Bill with their e-e-er metals . . Who gets letters addressed to Little Baby from Big Baby . . . Dot Branon will disclose if no one else will . . . though it’s like pulling eye teeth ... (?) ... some of us are planning to go to the dogs in April —the bull-dogs — Ermine, explain yourself. Thought you might like to know what college and why some of the girls here prefer. Read on and learn. Doesn’t change my mind a particle. Mary Payne: Clemson — because George and Tehee are there. O boy I Peggy Williams: The University of Florida because Florida boys go there and because you can pick breakfast pff a tree in your own backyard. Caroline Edwards: State, because Bill is there. Sybil Trexler: Davidson, because it’s just twenty miles away. Frances Reins: University of North Carolina because they have such a fine med school and such a fine A. T. 0. fraternity. Margaret Jager: Ditto Red. Mbjic ^laiildin: University of North Carolina because it’s just tlie best school. Vashti Gornto: State, because a senior goes there. Marjorie Russell: Duke, because it’s interesting all the time. Interested, too. Mary Lyons: University of Ala hama because Sammy is there. Eleanor Alexander: University of 'I’ennessce because I’m loyal. Doris Raley: Clemson, because the uniforms are so pretty and the guys in them are all right. Virginia Cothran: Citadel, because it has the cutest grads who are men and not monkeys and because at night their mothers know where they are. Oh, well, each to his opinion. Per sonally, I’m an intercollegiate idiot and love them all. Among our freshmen there is one who quietly and unassumingly has walked away with the biggest honor of her class—that of freshman presi dent. Of course you know that I’m talking about Vashti Gornto. You would never know from her demean or that she is not just Vashti Gornto put President Gornto as she is very modest and accepts her honors with quiet dignity. A week ago last Monday I happen ed to glance into Vashti’s room and you should have seen her bed—liter ally covered with gifts. I saw a prand new Chinese Checkers game, a box of candy (mmm!) and lots of other attractive gifts. Why? Well, that Monday Vashti celebrated her eighteenth birthday and from the ooks of those presents she had just cause to celebrate. She was born on J'eb. 20, 1921, in Wilmington, N. C. Since that time she has moved around quite a bit but eventually she settled down in her native Wilmington where she finished in the high school there ast spring. She is now studying for a general A.B. degree. Besides being president of her class, Vashti will be a May court attendant this spring, and she was on the fresh man staff of The Blues, and is a member of the advertising staff of The Coronet. The only time I could catch Vashti to ask her a few personal questions was during her gym period as she cavorted around the gym. Between ticks she informed me that her chief CAMPUS CHOICE joy will finish as a senior at State this year, that Tyrone Power is her favorite movie star, and that her favorite food is cocoanut pie. She claims that her ambition is to be a big executive in some large corpora tion (but I imagine that she’ll get sidetracked on the matrimonial road.) There’ve been rumors of a certain Mr. B. and a certain Mr. C. (I’m wonder ing where Mr. A. comes in) but J^ou will have to see Vashti to confirm these. When asked if she would answer a few questions, this blue-eyed blonde dimpled up and said “shure.” The following were the results: Question: What do you think of Ferdinand? (ye know ye olde columnist would ge^ this one in.) Answer: Oh, he's a lot of “bull.” Question: If the dormitory should catch fire what would be the first thing you would take out? Answ'er: Picture of my chief joy- (I imagine her roommate would feel very neglected not to mention being a little scorched also.) Question: Do you believe that two can live as cheaply as one? Answer: Certainly, if the other one can starve by himself. So there you have it—or ratheK her—fellow' toilers on destiny’s high way, and she’s quite a lot to have, speaking in terms of value. In fact, she would rate “tops” on any campus and w'e’re proud to have her on our own. Best to you, Vashti! Queens-Chicora Week By Week By VIRGINIA SMITH Have You Noticed? The happy excited faces of the new- y initiated and the expectant faces pf the initiated-to-be’s . . . how quick- y most of this year has gone by . . . iow “w'hupped” down so many of pur practice-teaching seniors seem . . how students do not sit on the teps of Burwell in groups as they lid last year . . . that Walt Disney is low making a film version of “Pin- pcchio” (remember?) . . . that the najority of people cannot tell you the :olor of their best friend’s eyes . . . hat we still haven’t had a real good oep meeting in student chapel . . • hat everyone on campus (at least itudents) seems to be in a decline, )l'ank faces showing only bewilder- nent when called on in class, with leither ambition or energy being ex pressed anywhere (I believe the com- non name for it is “spring fever”) . . . that Dorothy GLamour would be i good way to spell her name. List of Likeables: The song “Deep Purple” and the lew sure-to-be-a-hit “This Is It” . . • he ever agreeable Longenecker sisters ir Africans as they prefer to be call- 3d . . . the days that it doesn’t rain . Cary Grant’s naturalness in ‘Gunga Din” . . . teachers that don’t bother to give tests or to meet classes after a heavy week-end (yeh, I know _’m just day-dreaming—would that there were such a mortal!) . . . Alarm clocks that don’t W’ork . . . fried chick en a la Stough style ... the spunky wav in which our co-ed replied to Editor Brown (though we upper classmen had nothing to do with the article which appeared in the fresh man issue). After all it’s a rare thing when a male braves this campus to attend classes, but when he ac cepts kidding good-naturedly at the hands of our freshmen, then he really does deserve a big ice-cream cone . . . Dr. Godard’s optimism (whenever he’s pessimistic, it’s in an optimistic manner) ... the purple violets in the triangle between Science build ing and Burwell Hall. News Notes: May Daj' isn’t so very far away and Miss Henderson has already an nounced the theme for this year. It’s a most appropriate theme for the month of May and should be very colorful and lovely. In this issue there is a question naire which The Blues staff has made out and plans to send to a group of North and South Carolina colleges to pe answered and returned. The Blues plans to print the results in later is sues. The results should prove most interesting! Whatever Became of? The original Oswald of “ohhhhhh yeah” fame ... all the old-fashioned parlor games . . . corkscrew curl^ . those long rainy days in the attic when mother’s old finery furnished us with a w’hole morning’s entertainment , . the game of “old Maid” ... all the charm bracelets . . . country breakfasts of pie and meat and real honest-to-goodness food . . . the organ ist that years ago (I reminisce so much in my youthful old age) used to play between features at one of the local theaters . . . Miss G. Garbo . . Stoopnagle and Bud as a part ner act . . . the search for the lost aviatrix Amelia Earhardt. , Themes For Thought: To be perfectly truthful I haven’t been doing much thinking laterly, so I don’t have any worthivhile themes to pass on to you dear readers; how ever, I don’t imagine you’ve over worked your brains lately either. Sup pose we just see who can think the most about nothing this week. Parting Shot: Once again co-joke-finder Maujer comes to my rescue ivith this bit of humor (?). A woman stopped a lit tle boy wlio was standing on a street corner crying very hard, and asked him what the trouble was. He replied, “I’m lost. I shoulda known better than to come uptown with grandma she’s always losing things.” Oh, well, if that isn’t good (or just the op posite) enough for you, go borrow u “Buccaneer.”
