Scouting
At Queens
Did you know that on the Queens
campus there are at least five girls
who are helping with Girl Scout
work? Well, there are, and they all
take a very active part in assisting
Mrs. Baker, the leader of the group
in her work, both with the Brownies
and the full-fledged Scouts. On
Tuesdays from 3:30 to 4:30, a group
of ten Brownies meets in the S. C. A
hut. They carry on many activities
such as singing, playing games, and
making things. Celia Abernathy and
Dot Longenecker supervise this
group. In all, the roll totals about
twenty Brownies. On Thursdays
from 2:30 to 3:30 Jean Welsh and
Anne Wiley meet with a troop of
scouts. Margaret Harden also helps
with a second Brownie troop.
On Thursday, February 16, the
Scouts and Brownies gave their
parents a Valentine Tea. The entire
program was organized by the Scouts
themselves with the aid of the above
mentioned Queens girls.
In the near future a short course
to train girl scout leaders will be
given at the college. Members of
this group will be allowed to observe
the methods of teaching used in the
life saving course, the swimming
classes, and the tennis theory class
This information will prove valuable
in camp work, and it is possible thal.
several of the girls who take the
course will be given positions as camp
counselors.

The most progressive colleges are
introducing individual sports. I'liis

jolf. Lessons are given each Wednes-
ay evening at 7:30 and each lues-
day afternoon at 3:30. Twenty-two

twelve others have signed up.
Golf is taking its place at the head
of the sport.s’ list because of its
popularity and its adaptability. Old
and young, weak and strong welcome
this, sport because it offers an op
portunity to be out-of-doors and te
enjoy nature. 'Phis is one spori
that does not require an opponent.
Thus, when one tires of solitaire, she
may spend her lonely hours playing
golf in the open.
To play well one must know and
jractice the fundamentals of good
•arm. Queens has the service of one
jf the finest instructors in the South,
Mr. William Llvle of Charlotte Coun
try Club. Each hopeful player can
be assured that she can compete with
the best of opponents if she practices
according to his direction.
Mr. Livie has offered a fine set
of clubs to the beginner who works
the hardest and makes the most im
provement. The primary motive of
this gift is to inspire the player
to work enthusiastically and to fill
her w’ith a love for the sport.
The Myers Park Country Club
has kindly afforded its fine course
to Queens girls. They are urged
to come out and play any time dur
Ing the morning. The last three
holes make a fine hour’s game.

dividual sports this semester. Rod
Cross life saving and swimming in
struction begin at the Y. W. C. A

has been organized.
Life saving takes very much en
durance. Anyone who wishes to take
this course should first join the swim

is not only a valuable course, it is an
essential one.

tennis player requires thorough
knowiedge and skillful use of the
fundamental strokes. This class wi
provide this necessary instruction
.Many girls at Queens welcome the
opportunity to become superior ten
lis players.
For the past month those interested
in basketball have been going to the
Y. W. C. A. to practice. As yet,
the class teams have not been organ
ized, but each class has good material
and promise of fine co-operation.
One of the important events of the
basketball season will be the practice
^ame between the Queens Freshmen
ind the Central High students. Cen-
:ral High has spent the last month
getting ready for the combat. The
freshmen have been practicing consci
entiously and are looking forward to a

pecting a close game and will fight
for victory till the whistle blows.
This year’s greenhorns are next year’s sophomores—Just give us time.

Here We Come
Leap year, the chance of a life time,
the hope of a generation, the ex
pectation of all women, the dread
of all men! This unethical year dates
back to the time of Julius Caesar
and the calendar which he ordered
his astronomers to make. Its English
name is derived from the fact that
on February the twenty-ninth of
every fourth year a day of the week
is “leaped over” and skipped. No
satisfactory explanation of women’s
behavior in that year has ever been
found. We find, however, that in the
year 1288 a Scottish law was passed
making it lawful for women to pursue
men in that year. A few years later
in France a similar law was en
forced, and by the fifteenth century it N
was a common practice all over
Europe from Florence to Edinburgh.
The t'radition has been carried on to
us, and it is with eager anticipation
that all neglected persons of the
weaker sex look forward to this year.
At long last 1940 is here! Girls,
get busy! Boys, watch your neck, or
it will be in a noose ere long!
