TO THE NEWLY ELECTED OFFICERS
Congratulations to you wdio have been recently elected as officers
of the student governinent association or of the organizations coming
under its guidance. You should deem it an honor to have been chosen
by your classmates and .schoolmates to be their leaders.
At the same time you must realize that in accepting these offices
to M’hich you have been elected you have taken over a lot of respon-
sihilitv. Honor is not the onlv aspect to he considered in being a
chosen member of the student government association. Honor does
mean a lot to some people when elected to do a job but the fulfilling
of the duties of the job should mean even more.
How are you going to jierform the duties of your office? Will
you start off being very enthusiastic and then gradually get tired
and bored with it all? Often the most enthusiastie workers turn
out to he the most inefficient workers. Don’t let this he sard of you.
Be enthusiastic over your work hut let your enthusiasm be permanent
until next year when you will go out of office.
The student body has made wise selections in all the offices for
next year. Now you should do .all in your' power to ])rove th.at this
observation is true. Kach officer must do her part in the .affairs of
the school as a whole. One oflicer should not he blamed or praised
for any specific action.
TO THE STUDENT BODY
Each of you (who has l)aid her budget fee) has recently cast
her vote in the student government elections for the girls whom you
have considered best for the various offices under consideration. If
vour candidate won the election you must ])rove th,at you thought
her worthy of holding the office by giving her your best co-operation
when she asks for it. If your candidate did not win in the election
show vour good sjiortsmanship by eo-operat;ng with and standing
u]) for the girls who did win.
No matter how small an office may seem to you each one has its
specific duties, all of which call for time on the ])art of the officer
and co-o})eration on your part. If an officer knows she s being
suj)j)orted by members of the student body she will he much more
apt to perform her duties to the best of her ability.
Remember this when the new officers take over their duties and
see what you can do toward making next year’s student government
successful.
Dearest Sally:
Everybody’s going to conventions
’cept me. The Press convention in
Charleston, at The Citadel, pardon
me, and the Phi Mu convention in
Washington are taking away quite a
few of our gals for this week-end.
Gosh, they are going to have a swell
time. Whoo, wish I was going, too.
Mary Mac, Nancy, and Martha
say that the K. A. party at Caro
lina was swell. And now the Betas
—well they’re o.k. too. From this
same w^eek-end Fanny Stough re-
])orted a wonderful time at the
Elensinia at Chapel Hill.
“You’ll hum” is one of Mildred
Taylor’s favorite expressions. Ask
the Davidson lads. They know, and
going hack to conventions from which
I can’t refrain, Lucille Gwaltney lost
her suit case on the Williamshurg
convention and now she has to wear
her sister's clothes. Honestly, that
would be terrible. If I lost any of my
clothes. I’d just have to go to bed.
.ludith and Peggy found out about
the statue at Duke last week-end.
Can you guess what two good
friends received a bid to the same
set of dances at Carolina from the
same hoy? He evidently was trying
to make time in two directions.
The day student building has all
of six modern records for the new
radio-victrola, and everybody’s jitter-
huggin.’ . The jiorch has also been
graced wdtli four new chairs. The
next time you come to visit me we
might induce the day students to
let us use them.
Newest riddle of IJh Imhody’s:
“Wliat’s tlie color of a sea ghost?
Give up? Navy boo! I can just
hear you groaning. Kill Lib, not me.
Love affairs liave risen up and died
down during Spring holidays. Many
of our belles found new romance,
but a few gave up old ones; one in
particular, a Phi Mu, severed relations
completely witli the “one and only.”
Do you know what Aljilia Gam
had an understanding with a David
son hoy about the Junior-Senior ban
quet and later decided that she wanted
to invite somebody else? Poor thing,
she doesn’t know what to do.
Have you noticed the beautiful
colors of tlie new Spring styles?
Honestly, I’m afraid to leave the
liouse on Sunday witli my last year’s
rags. Tlie Easier jiarade in Cliar-
lotte was sinqily gorgeous, witli all
tlie shades of rose, jiink, blue and
purple floating around. Veils seem
to he as prevalent now as whinqiles
were during the winter—and in all
colors, too.
Exams will he here in four more
weeks so that means I w'ill he home
for the summer before long. It will
he wonderful to get away from the
grind and home with the family. Sure
will he glad to see you, too. There
are so many things that I have to
tell vou.
Don’t forget to write to mo soon
^'our loving sister,
SALLY.
Ever on the go, Sue Mauldin—she,
of the Mauldin sisters—began her fast
moving career at the tender age of
one. Born in Greenville, South Caro
lina on January 28, 1919, she soon
slung her knapsack over her back and
set out for. Charlotte. Not satisfied
with what Charlotte offered. Sue was
soon off to far China where she lived
for a year and a half. Then tiring of
eastern life, she came hack to the
States and tried Greenville again, then
Boston, Mass., Ridgewood, N. J., and
finally Charlotte. She attended Cen
tral high school from Avhlch she was
graduated. If all goes well, she will
soon receive her A.B. degree, having
majored and done her jiractice teach
ing in English.
As a freshman Sue was editor of
the freshman edition of The Queens
Blues, a member of the Linnean Club,
and of the Literary Society. In her
sophomore year she was again editor
of her class edition of The Blues,
class representative on Day Student
Council and was tapped into Iota Xi,
journalistic fraternity. In her junior
year. Sue was tapped into Sigma Mu,
national scholastic fraternity; and
Alpha Kappa Gamma, national lead
ership fraternity. She was also as
sociate editor of The Blues, associate
editor of The Coronet, publicity chair
man on S. C. A. Cabinet, lekder of
the Creative Writing Group, and class
representative on Day Student Coun
cil. This year Sue is editor of The
Coronet, national editor of The Torch-
bearer, publication of Alpha Kappa
Gamma; publicity chairman on S. C.
A. cabinet and is listed in “Who’s Who
In American Universities and Col
leges.”
A redhead full of spirit. Sue
doesn’t even know the meaning of the
word “lazy.” In true Mauldin fash
ion, she works hard and willingly at
any task presented to he^r* Quite in
consistent with this is Sue’s chief joy
of sleeping. (She also has a special
fondness for McHardy.) Her pet
hate is going to bed and getting up
in the morning. (I believe I said that
she was inconsistent!) Her ambitions
are to have a secretary to write all
her letters and a contraption on her
car which will squirt mud on any
other car that cuts in front of her.
She is especially fond of spaghetti
and will go to most any extreme to
get it when she wants it. She has the
peculiarity of enjoying her annual
work. Here are the questions:
Question: Where do you hope to he
five years from now?
Answer: In China—where the serv
ants are plentiful.
Question: Is the annual going to
be any good?
Answer: No, it’s going to be ter
rible because there’re so many blank
spaces such as the one \vhere your
picture is. (Gee, thanks. Sue!)
Question: Do you think that Shirley
Temple will he the future glamour-
girl?
Answer: I think she’s the baby
tiger-lady type. (Now just what do
you mean by that?)
Full of artistic ability. Sue has
been elected class poet and know’ing
Sue as we do, we can be sure that
the poem will be extraordinarily good.
We, the students, salute you. Sue!
You’re a grand girl!
Queens-Chicora
Week By Week
By VIRGINIA SMITH
Have You Noticed?
That in less than four weeks exams
begin—no fooling! . . . that Ferdi
nand the true pacifist has come and
gone, but the memory of him (and
I hope the spirit) will linger on . . .
the hook - of - the - month, “Ordeal,”
which is the fictitious story of what
one family does when war strikes
England—jieculiar story hut quite
thought-provoking . . . that we jmhli-
cations girls (about eight in number)
are having ourselves a time in Charles
ton.
WHEN DOGWOOD
BLOOMS
By Florence T. Hillard
(/h ^Ipril, 1939, Good Housekeeping)
White rapture spreads along the
stony slopes.
Matchlessly fair.
It might he young doves resting.
Or the souls of saints
At prayer.
He who looks u})on a dogwood tree in
bloom
Stands at Heaven’s gate.
And forever will
Feel kinship with
'I'he Immaculate.
List of Likeables:
The acting in “Pygmalion” which
I only recently saw . . . crab ajiple
blossoms in Virginia . . . several dis
tinctive features about this year’s an
nual which before many weeks wdll he
ready for the usual autographing . . .
Mr. Ivey’s tulips . . . the big blue hat
which makes Sally McDowell’s eyes
even bluer . . . the graciousness of the
great Wagnerian tenor lyauritz Mel
chior on his recent visit to Charlotte
. . . southern warmth in contrast to
northern coolness (figuratively speak
ing).
News Notes:
If I’m not mistaken, the next issue
The Blues will he the last one issued
by the old staff. That, girls, should he
just cause for celebration (please
note that I leave the celebration up
to whichever needs it the most—the
student body or the staff), and I, for
one, am in favor of declaring a holi
day.*
Next w'cek-end Junior-Senior ban
quet takes jilace and one of the major
events of the evening will he the an
nouncement of senior class president
for next year. So all you juniors and
seniors get out your best hih ’n’ tucker
and trot out your favorite date for
the occasion.
Then the next week-end. May Day
and all its activities occur and the
week-end after that Davidson has its
spring set of dances. Following that
we find ourselves in the midst of
exams on the next week-end. Rather
a full schedule, eh what?
Themes for Thought:
Would that all courses were neither
“crip” courses nor courses that leave
you ragged trying to make a merit
grade, hut a haiipy medium some
where between the two that would
jirovide stimulation for work without
necessarily making one's motto “all
work and no jilay.” (P. S. Maybe I’m
lazy) . . . how do orchestra members
manage to play day in and day out
the same numbers for weeks at a time
and still look cheerful about the whole
thing?
Whatever Became Of?
Boake Carter, the radio commenta
tor . . . dainty little parasols that our
mothers used to carry as jirotection
against the sun . . . Greta Garbo
(she’s been gone lo these m any
months) . . . Dolores Costello Barry
more and the actor who once jilayed
opposite her, Conrad Nagel.
Parting Shot:
Quite a good take-off on the age-
old excuse of unruly locks recently
apjieared in a cartoon in the pajier.
The unlucky fellow, after tearing
through a barn and a fence and de
capitating a tree, along with other
minor mishaps, was telling the menac
ing patrolman—“I’m sorry, officer, but
I just washed the car and I can’t do
a thing with it.”
