Page 4 QUEENS BLUES May 15,1942 Now Is The Month Of Maying jBy ADELAIDE HENRY-. Tra-La-La There was a time in days past when powdered haired ladies and frock coated gentlemen were much in evi dence on any May afternoon. On Friday last, Queens College visitors and students were taken back to those enchanting days of jeweled fans and charming fanfare by the traditional May Day celebration in honor of the Queen of the May. A bugle call shattered through fhe leaves and a rolling drum gave the marching note. Forthwith there ap peared the Queens’ guards, costumed in red coats with gold braid, who formed an arch of crossed swords un der which the ladies of the court passed. Yellow, green, blue, and pink —all the maids of the court were becomingly dressed and presented a delightfully refreshing picture. Mary Katherine Martin, maid of honor, was escorted to the throne , by Master James A. Jones, who, save for his size, was a veritable prince charming. Stately Doris Raley, wearing a white dress entirely in keeping with queenly tradition, • entered, attended by Miss Sally MacGregor as train bearer. To the appealing strains of “The Legend of the Arkansas Traveler” pickananies frolicked and cavorted in the garden of Betsy Ross. In time, they retired and Betsy Ross (Ade laide Henry) and George Washington (Marian Miller) came on the stage and enacted the legendary designing of the United States flag. From the State ladies who danced the minuet to the petite May pole dancers, this was a May Day particularly timely. Not withstanding its remote setting, the American traditions of the Negro mammy and pickananies, the minuet and the Virginia reel, George Wash ington and the flag—none of these could fail to impress on the minds of all who saw that Queens College girls, even in these abnormal times, are making the most of what is yet avail able to them and are developing a greater love and appreciation of the American way of living which our country men are fighting so gallantly to defend. Is this even minorly connected with May Day.® Of course it is. May Day and Stunt Night, Junior-Senior and Spectator parties, club activities and sororities — all of them are the es sence of freedom which American youth is striving to protect. Nothing offends clear thinking and foresighted people more than hearing idle chat terers suggesting voluntary surrender of these traditions that make our American youth individual. There has been in recent days much vague talk about boosting moral. What, then, is the gain if the nation succeeds in winning the war if it have already lost its social sufficiency? No, let there be no “lie sublimely on backs hugging the elusive phantom of hope.” Let the nation always stand firmly on its rights protecting its just heritage!

Tryon — Phone 7189 QUEENS LOOKOUT From Melbourne, Australia, comes the following thriller of the air via “International News Service,” by Lee Van Atta. Master Sergeant Harry M, Hayes, USN, had never piloted a plane be fore. The battered, bullet riddled flying fortress he lifted off the run way had no radio, no air speed in dicator, no oil or gas gauges and no speed indicator, and no navigation instruments. But those minor details did not keep him from making a 1,300 mile dash from beleaguered Java to Australia, saving the lives of eighteen British and Dutch officers, women and children in one of the most thrill ing performances of this or any other war. Hayes, who has a lot of mechanical ability in addition to his ample ration of courage, went to work on the B-18 and had it ready to fly in two days. All the passengers were on the field ready to leave when a flock of Japa nese Zero planes roared low over the runway and strafed the precious bomber, destroying it. After a few minutes of puttering around he decided that by stripping two of the fortresses the third could he patched up. In three days the mo tors were ready to turn over. Consider the faith the American, British and Dutch officers — also the women and children — had in this untrained pilot. 'fhe flight was largely characterized bj' “withouts”! Confidence in the pilot himself — not in safety devices — was the secret of their action in getting into that plane! There is another Pilot—who can not be referred to as “untrained”— for He is perfect and so is His work. This Pilot longs to take His creatures on a safe, happy and prosperous flight through life to the glory, but so many are unwilling to trust Him. Are you willing to waive your imagined goodness, accede to all His “withouts” and trust Him, saying: “Jesus Savior, pilot me?” He is your only certainty of a “happy landing” in Eternity! —From NOW published in Peoria, Ill., by R.
