Co-Ed Writes
To Editor

u
To The Editor of Queens Blues
Queens-Chicora College
Charlotte, N. C.
Dear Editor:
This letter was prompted by a con
versation I overheard as I passed
through the halls of our fair college.
Two young ladies were discussing
the article “Our Co-ed,” published
in the Freshman issue of Queexs
Beues. Naturally, I did not stop to
listen; however, I overheard, in pass
ing, “I wonder if he will write a
reply to this.” I assure you that I
had no such intention, for as far as
I was concerned, there was no rea
son for a reply.
However, this conversation must
have struck a responsive chord in my
subconscious—should I say
sclous—mind; because that night
dreamed a suitable answer.
I envisioned the college campus
;ded with all the students, and
their midst was one who was orat
ing. Her words were as follows:
“Four weeks and two days ago our
faculty brought forth upon this cam-
new co-ed, conceived out of
exigency and dedicated to the proposi
tion that all students are created
equal. We are met upon the great
campus in question. We are here to
dedicate a portion of it in honor of
lim who so nobly entered our portals
that we might live. It is altogether
fitting and proper that we do this.
“But in a larger sense, we cannot
dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we
cannot hallow this ground. His heroic
action, for such it was, has hallowed
it far above our poor power to add or
to detract.
We shall ever be penitent for what
we have written of him, but we will
always appreciate him for being here.
“It is for us, the proud beauties of
this college, rather to be dedicated to
tlie unfinished work that he is carry
ing on. It is rather for us to be here
dedicated to the great task remaining
before us—to prove that a boy shoulc
not be refused admission to a girls
college when necessity demands that
he enter—to prove that he will not be
subjected to exaggerated persona'
propaganda in the form of either
flattery or degradation—to prove that
one boy among 410 girls need not feel
conspicuous—and when this is accom
plished, this college of students, by
students, and for students, will be a
shining light to those young men who
need her.”
The above are the words taken from
my dream, I am not responsible for
them.

The main event of last week-end,
was, of course, initiation. There were
many accompanying events. After
initiation, the undergraduate members
and new initiates, following the annual
custom, all went to the Grill. Then
there was the traditional banquet at
the Hotel Charlotte. Sunday morn
ing, in spite of bulling almost all
night, every one went to the house and
cooked breakfast. We would like to
recommend Elaine to Lemmon ’cause
she surely cooks a grand meal. We
think every one must have slept in the
afternoon. The feed was the annual
initiation one and scads of alumnae
were present. • ^
Speaking of alumnae, it certainly
was a grand feeling to see Timmy,
Martha, Vivlanne, and Becky walking
around the campus again. We loved
that hat Becky was sporting, and
marriage certainly is agreeing with
Viv.
Cornelia and Hal went to Charles
ton. It seems to have more attrac
tion for them than just a mere in
terest in history. Sort of a double
feature.
Kitty Sue and Norma went to
Manning. Annie Laurie went home
to Badin. Jebbie has flu and is con
valescing at home in Hamlet, where,
by the way, Jo is suffering from
mumps. Seems to be a new town fad.
Did you notice Bert’s new white
brush wool sweater and skirt? They’re
loves, so be sure to be on the look
out for them.
New Resolves Are Unbeatable For
Being Unbreakable
For those who have a habit of mak
ing resolutions that just can’t be kept,
we have drawn up a roster of new
semester resolutions that are guar
anteed to be unbreakable.
1. Never miss an even almost-
good show down-town.
2. Go to the Y Store more regular
ly than to meals.
3. Indulge in a from four-to-five
hours bull session with the “gang” on
the nights before tests.
4. Take every week-end that can
possibly be had, and search painfully
for new excuses to get away.
5. Don’t waste time taking naps in
the afternoon. Sleep in class.
(). Don’t worry about parallel read
ing. Novels are much more interest
ing—and easier to read anyway.
7. Learn how to dance, how to skate
how to play tennis, how to have a
good time, how to be a good conver
sationalist. Everybody knows how to
study.
8. With spring coming, get plenty
of fresh air. Sit on the campus on
every occasion and on no occasions.
With ai)ologies to Abraham Lin
coin for the use of his “Gettysburg
Address,” and with apologies to you
for boring you with the above tripe,
I am
Sincerely yours,
CO-ED.""

Dear Readers:
These sunny week-ends certainly
entice most every one from our fair
campus. Nank and Doris took their
car home Sunday, and })roceeded to
drop Margaret Me and Hilda off at
their respective homes, and Sunday
night they had a lot of fun coming
back to school; ask them.
Ellen Hardee and Margie Poole
spent the week-end in town with Mrs
McCauley and the lads from Ihe
Citadel came up.
Billy Brammer visited sister Lib
Sunday and I didn’t know there was
even half as much sisterly and brother-
y love left in this old world. Billy’s
labltat is Roanoke College.
Ileita went to Shelby Sunday and
“that busines.s” is settled—whatever
it was.
Annette Bruton went to Florence
with Margie Russell after the ban
quet Saturday night, and packed a
lot of fun into the eighteen hours she
was there.
Little Ehrhardt and “Miss Du” got
the shock of their lives when they
found out at lunch-time Sunday that
they were supposed to have the feed
Sunday night. But with the co
operation of a few restaurants in town
and relatives in Corneliu.s—they gave
one of the best feeds of the year
Henrietta went to Mocksville to
visit her sister, Nancy who is an
alun\, last Friday. When Nancy turn
ed up in our midst Sunday night, she
looked lovely to us
The shows we saw Saturday night
after the banquet were grand anc
every one had gobs of fun. We were
so sorry Dr. Abernethy couldn’t be
there.
Boots and Lib are going home wit
Hilda today—(to get an eye-view of
the sand-hills?) Bye, now, til next
week.
Chi Omega
Every one will agree that our over
night party last Saturday night was
i big success, and we do mean success.
The party was given at Sitter
Hunter’s cabin on the river following
our banquet. There were about
twenty-six of us there and while
ittle sleep was had (compliments of
Mary Payne) fun was had by all.
Some sights seen: Ruth Knee donning
a hair net and making faces, Eleanor,
Mary Payne, Peggy, and Sara Kelly
canoeing at midnight. The secret
Ife of Cumnock and Alexander sud
denly revealed. All the ghost stories.
T Promise You.” Mary Payne and
ler constant cry, “Curfew shall NOT
ring tonight!” Yes, it was fun.
Nancy Hovis will leave for New
York this week. Frances Stough is
spending this week-end in Cornelius
and taking Sara Kelly with her.
I.ast night Sally Crosland’s birth
day was celebrated with a little im
promptu party. As usual, Cumnock
is in Davidson for the week-end.
Seniors Have
Their Woes
My, my have you been lending an
ear to those moans coming from our
friends who are now finding them
selves really trying to teach? I sup
pose you’ve beard some awfully amus
ing reports just as I have.
Honestly, I didn’t know a teacher
had to go through with so much. (I
don’t think they did either or there
would never be any teachers.) It’s a
rush every night to look up all the
material tliat they have to teach the
next day—from teachers to library
books and so on. It’s funny how
these mighty seniors are afraid that
their pupils are going to be smarter
than they or ask some baffling ques
tion they can’t answer.
Ever since the first day of the
teaching my roommate has been tear
ing through song books and singing
to herself all those songs we used to
sing in grammar school. You know
“Susie, I.ittle Susie,” and all the
one that vou would connect with it.
And did you know that they are
teaching “Home on the Range” to the
school children now? Gee, I suppose
they will be learning the story and
song to the famous mountain opera
of the “Martins and the Coys” before
very long.
Have you seen some of the girls in
the dormitories pretending they are
teaching and trying so hard to learn
to tell “Hansel and Gretel” or some
other fair}' tale? It seems that every
time there is a lull in conversation
one of the P. T.’s (Practice Teacher)
chimes in with “The Three Bears” or
“The IJfe of Chaucer” (from one
who is attempting high school rather
than grammar school education.)
One poor little first grader asked
his teacher if she would hold him on
her lap because he was so tired of that
hard seat. Aren’t children cute when
they are young? But I heard one girl
say that she was having trouble try
ing to keej) some of her smart pupils
from calling her by her first name.
It must be horrible to have to teach
and be glared at from the back of the
room by a more experienced teacher
or maybe Dr. Godard too. We sym
pathize with these seniors, and can
easily imagine the Cjuaking spirits,
knocking knees, and dry mouths with
which they face a grinning, expectant
group of \^oung gamins. However,
time will tell and we imagine they
will survive. .
