QUEENS BLUES
Alpha Gamma Delta
The big event of the past week
for the Alpha Gams was the visit
of the national inspector, Margare
Hilchie. Margaret is from Montreal,
Canada. Everyone found her to be
a very likeable person. The members
of the sorority honored her with a
tea Tuesday afternoon from 4:30
6:00.
Betty Bloom, Julia Miller, Carolyn
Williams, and Cornelia Truesdale, ail
spent an enjoyable week-end at home.
Frances Trulock attended the Pres
byterian Students’ Conference on
Friday and Saturday a week ago (at
Salisbury).
Isabelle Rodgers and Betty Burgess
were thrilled by the visit of Jean
Bruner and Verna O. Farmer last
week-end.
Why that cheerful look on Louise
Blue’s face Friday week ago? Of
course, she was going home, and
Eloise Huntley was going with her.

1940 BRINGS
The year 1940 is to be a colorful
affair; clothes will be gayer, crisper,
and, above all, will offer an oppor
tunity for originality.
With spring comes a favorite per
renial—navv blue, modified this year
by a flared skirt, frilly white blouse,
and, by all means, a fitted jacket
or a bolero. Opinions differ as to
the influence of the European situa
