intendent to teach at L. S. U. ’ . . . Prof. Chal
mers, a wonderful man and teacher. . . . What a
break for L. S. U. . . . but what will Green
ville school do without him? I’m glad he didn’t
leave before I fiinished school!
“Cotton leaves for U. of Michigan.” . . .
Oh, my—the cute history professor I had such
a crush on ... I almost didn t recognize him
with this mustache; I believe it helps—no! he
looked better without—it is sort of cute, though.

Married. Here I’ve been laboring under the im
pression that he cherished a secret passion for
me. , . . Who’d he marry? . . . some prissy little
blonde! “Both will continue their studies at Old
Miss.” . . . Sad . . . sad ... one more old flame
to consign to ashes and dust. . . .
“Mrs. Winter Stowe entertains,” . . . ummmm,
all girls who were in my, class. ... so Winter,
Jr., is evidently married . . . must have missed
a paper . . . makes me so mad. ... at least, the
old feud between Emily and Yvonne has finally
been settled—but who? . . . wish 1 knew . . . I’ll
write Mary this very night. . . .
Anything under “New Arrivals” . . . oooh

Lieutenant? Bet he looks grand in a uniform.
. . . “stantioned at training camp.” . . . such a
wonderful dancer . . . “to visit family in August.’
. , . wonder if he’s forgotten the night—oh,
well . . .
And We Can Tell
You All About It
Have You Noticed?
The gradual disappearance of the
knee-length sock antagonists? . . .
That Marion Miller has finally doffed
the kerchief, that all the world may
see that her locks are still pretty, in
spite of the ravages of A Permanent?
. . . What a nice teacher Caroline
Edwards makes? . . . What a fine,
upstanding young college man Mary
Heilig makes? And technique, suh?
How about it, Patsy? . . . The new
engraved pencils, sponsored by the
Queens Blues? . . . The growing en
thusiasm for the advent of Christmas?
and the holidays!!!... Editor Gol

doesn’t get them all from conventions,
either. . . . How consistently Cath
erine Kittles and Marguerite Johnson
hold down one of the sofas in Bur-
well? . . . The plaintive look of the
army of wistful students who “only
want to pass. Professor”?

absorbed and grumpy than a research-
paper-writing student? . . . Ain’t
Caldwell’s spelling terrific? So indi
vidual and all. . . . Does Idrienne re
mind you, too, of a walking en
cyclopedia ?
Give And Take
Now that Carolina is safe from
the scouraging remarks of Duke stu
dents for a whole year, they feel
quite free to tell this story on their
alma mater. It seems that one year
the sports writers all gave the Tar
Heels a 25-0 margin over the Devils.
So Carolina bowed down to the tune
of 26-0. Three weeks later a student
at the latter institution smiled and
every one wanted to know what in
hail Columbia was so funny.
Loom Dangerously On The Horizon
Make Each Day Count
“Dear Mary, how’s school? . . . blah, blah . . .y|| We have it straight from the iSoZew
Don’t you think August would be the best month PiYe that
r
for me to come?’’ Blah, blah
E. 1.
With only two short weeks until Christmas
holidays, and only thirteen days after that,
semester examinations are drawing dangerously
close.
There is so little time left that no one ban,
afford to waste a single moment of it. Close
attention on class is at this time an essential
thing. Ten minutes of listening on class might
save a half hour of frantic thinking during the
examination. Well prepared lessons in the month
of school days that remain can even do com
pletely away with hasty cramming and burned
midnight lamps.
Actually the thought of semester examinations
should have stirred up scholastic response long
ago. But, if it has not yet, it is not too late. In
these remaining days, much can be accompished
if work is undertaken promptly and diligently.
Examinations are things that cannot be postponed
until the distant tomorrow, and neither can pre
paration for them, if successful achievements
are to be gained.
The examinations are important to everyone
at Queens, but especially so to the Freshmen.
This is their first taste of college examination.
The methods, form and procedure may seem a
little difficult or different at first, but it is ex
tremely important that Freshmen do well in their
first year of college work. Therefore Freshmen
should devote particular time to study.
Examinations are not to be feared. Day by
day study is all that is needed. Opportunity
is knocking now. All those who want to jump
on its band wagon and come riding up with dis
tinctions, study and make every one of those
remaining days count double its worth
No One Can
—eat a sandwich with finesse like Ruth Kilgo.’
—smile like Marie Pons.
—make snappy comebacks like Mr. MacGregor
or Dr. Linton.
—play a violin like Marie Roseman.
—fly an airplane like Eppie Epperson.
—sing like “Copy” Coppala.
— be charmingly dignified like Marian Miller i
—have executive ability like Idrienne Levy.
—make Math work like Betty McClintock.
—be enthusiastic like Lib Isaacs and Eloise
Huntley.
—grin like Margaret Hawkins.
—“dimple up” like Anne Wiley or Catherine
The gum-chewing girl and the cud
chewing cow
Are somewhat alike, yet different
somehow.
What is the difference?
Oh, I see it now—
It’s the thoughtful look on the face
of the cow.
From the V. M. I. Keydet comes
this rose that blushes unseen for the
first time in the eyes of Queens
students—we hope!!!!
He told the shy maid he loved her;
The color left her cheeks;
But on the lapel of his coat
It stayed fir weeks and weeks.
Home Economics students, take
heed unto this item. In a recent poll
taken at Davidson, our brethren col
lege, as it were, the students showed
a distinct preference for a gal “just
like the gal that married dear ole
Dad.”
(^ampjuA (^hoka
The curly-headed girl with the little
turned-up nose that wrinkles when
she laughs is Henrietta Louise Blue,
president of the sophomore class.
This athletic young lady was born
in Jackson Springs, N. C., August 9,
1921, but moved to Southern Pines
in time to begin her formal education,
in which field she has excelled for
some fourteen years.
Since she has been at Queens,
Louise has made remarkable grades,
won many friends, been the spark
plug on the basketball and volleyball
teams, entered the tennis finals, and
been a member of Alpha Gamma Del
ta sorority. Honorary Sophomore
Council, Student Christian Associa
tion, Honor Council, and the Queens
Blues. She is this year’s circulation
manager of the Queens Quill.
Her favorite color is blue (she
even uses it for a name!) and her
favorite piece of music is Rach
maninoff’s Prelude in C Sharp
Minor. In spite of her preference
for blue, she finds brown eyes to be
more or less of a weakness. (Now,
let’s see, what was his name any
how?)
Like all fine, upstanding Ameri
can people, Louise really goes for
steak and potatoes, but shrimp she
positively dislikes. October is her
favorite month and Queens her fav
orite college. (I told you she was
a smart girl.)
She loves people, tennis, and
steeplechases, but definitely dislikes
hypocrisy, snakes, salesmen, and mo
tion pictures with no story.
Modest and unassuming, Louise
Blue would be any campus’s choice!

WE PRESENT
MRS. HENRY McADEN
“I like people best of all,” said Mrs.
McAden, as sbe put on her glasses
and answered the phone. “And my
official job here at Queens is to make
people welcome. I’m crazy about
it.”
Mrs. McAden is the very amiable
lady one finds in the Dean’s office
from 4 P. M. until 10:30 P. M. every
evening. It is from this vantage
point that she has watched Queens in
its everyday life. “It has the nicest
spirit I have ever seen anywhere.”
Mrs. McAden confessses to be a
“rain coward”; that is, she loves the
rain, but hates to go out in it and get
wet. Like everyone else, she hates
to get up in the morning, but she
i
balances that weakness up by hating
to go to bed at night.
Beethoven is her favorite composer
and Thackeray, her favoriate author.
She loves dainty foods (the sort that
leaves men hungry) and “fixin’s.” She
lists chicken salad, shrimp cocktail
and cheese straws under the latter
heading. Her favorite color is green.
Her hohby is growing and arrang
ing flowers, and she also collects
baskets of all sizes and shapes.
She dislikes discourtesy above all
else, and is deeply impressed by the
excellent telephone manners of
Queens girls. She suggests that the
girls be trained as teachers for all
discourteous people in the world.
