nnoBSHSii mmm mmm Page 4 QUEENS BLUES April 1, 1944 Marie Sitton Is Person Of The Issue Elections always bring out lead ers on any campus, and our last elections were no different. The rising senior class is proud to have as one of its members one of the most outstanding leaders on our college campus. Marie Sit ton, newly elected Day Student President, was born in Danville, Va., but only lived there a year. She has been in Charlotte . ever since. Marie apologized for never having done anything exciting. “I’m just the quiet little home town girl.” She attended Central High School, where she was a mem ber of National Honor Society. She began her leadership at Queens early in her freshman year. At that time she was elected treas urer of her class. She proved to be a very efficient officer, and as a result of her grand ability to handle money she was again elect ed treasurer her sophomore year. History again repeated itself when the juniors chose Marie to be— treasurer! Now that she has ad vanced quite a number of steps, the seniors next year will have to search about for a treasurer to take Marie’s place. Besides being treasurer of her class for three years, she has been quite active in other phases of campus life. She is a member of Phi Mu; president of Alpha Iota, honorary business fraternity: a member of Sigma Mu, honorary scholastic fraternity: and is on the Dean’s List—all of which makes her a very important person to have around. Did you know that Marie is an only child? But she is quite dif ferent from the usual only child. Not only is she always co-operative and willing to assiune her share of work in any undertaking, but she does it without a single word of complaint. Wherever you see Marie, you’re more than apt to see that broad smile that goes every where. “We all know that the Day Student Body will continue to be an up and coming organization un der the leadership of its capable president. Best of luck to you, Marie I REMEMBER -to do your ])art toward the building' of a GREATER QUEENS COLLEGE in your home town during spring holidays.

Pardon me, girls, but my hayfever is back again. Be tween sneezes let me chat with you. Honestly, some of the odors the Spring breeze carries my way from the chemistry lab makes me want to do a “half-gainer” into the pool. About this time each year I gasp with the convulsing doses of sulfur fumes. A certain “Madam Claudia Paschall” of “Pop” Norman’s lab expressed her opinion on sulfur experiments the other day: you can imagine the phrase she used—it’s commonly heard when something is not good or does not smell sweet. Say—did I catch a glimpse of a diamond on Ann Grant’s finger? 'That’s wonderful, Ann! Is Virginia Rhea learning the language of love in Spanish? That graduate of the University of Cuba and present Davidson Air Cadet may be her reason. “Moany” (Elinor) Bell just meandered by me. Her theme song is “When the Red, Red Robin Comes Hop, Hop, Hopping Along.” And here comes that gay three some—“Glo” Deal, Ruth Harding, and Nancy Stitt. Speaking of gay things—if you’re feeling blue, just go to see June Renfro and Martha Wheless. The other day in the dining room they had the girls of a certain table “in stitches.” It’s good to be around people who make you forget your troubles, so keep it up June and Martha! Sophie’s fella sure is keeping Western Union busy these days—more tele grams to her lately. Nancy Hol den’s man is saying it with flow ers: gee, these thoughtful men! 'The girls who wear blue, seer sucker uniforms with a red cross on the pocket are Red Cross work ers. Elise Chapman, Grace Pen dleton, Beverly Parker, Pat Starnes, and “Skinny” Bobbitt are some of the girls who grace the Morris Field Canteen—first rate morale builders! Just saw a cute fresh man and a redhead, too: it was “Tonnie” Ferguson. Another girl with personality is Mozelle. Have you heard Doris Shirrow’s record ing of her own voice: her rendi tion of “Because” is beautiful. Congratulations to all you newly elected officers: I’m so proud of you. Lately the girls gathering around me have had serious, stu dious looks. I bet you’ve been having six weeks’ tests. Hope all of you came through with flying colors. Who’s being called “Potent Pudgy” these days? I won’t let the secret out! Don’t you forget to buy War Stamps from your cap tain. Only one 10c stamp per per son a month will keep our Recog nition flag waving up there with “Old Glory.” 'There was certainly a lot of excitement on campus last week-end. Spirits were soaring and fun was had by all. One of the sweetest people I know is Mr. McCoy, our night watchman. He keeps me company on these long, lonely nights. It’s always a com fort to hear his footsteps as he makes his rounds. You probably have to run to class so guess I’d better stop. The basketball tournament came to a close March 17 when the con solation game was played between Alpha Gamma Delta and Phi Mu. Phi Mu was victorious by a score of 21 to 5. Martha Scarborough, Ollie Meadows, Betty Barrentine, Margaret Ann Surber, Carolyn L. Wilson, and Quincey Parrish were the standouts for the victors. Ollie Meadows led her team with a total of 14 points, while Barrentine was runner-up with 5 markers. Alpha Gamma Delta had Ann McGirt, Melba Bailey, Lillian Smith, An- nelle McCall, Agusta Pharr, and Martha Dixon, as their main team while Helen Blair, Ellen Free man, and Betty Starr acted as substitutes. Phi Mu was sup ported by Billie Luck, Betsy Hodges, Polly Foglesong, LaRue Allison, and Betty Williams. Phi Mu took the situation in hand from the first quarter on, and emerged victorious by a score of 21 to 5 thus win- ^ ning the consolation game. I In one of the last games of the I tournament the Day Students de feated Alpha Eta Sigma by a score of 18 to 16. Estelle Darrow led the Day Students with 14 points. Margaret Nisbet led the opposing team with 8 markers. The game was very interesting and the teams were very nearly evenly matched. However, the Day Students proved themselves the better team by win ning out with one extra goal. Next the Day Students played South Dormitory. 'Their winning streak came to an end when South defeated them by a score of 36 to 6. Carolyn Hobson led the vic tors with a total of 18 points while Dot Burton was runner-up with 9 markers. South Dormitory then was in line by this victory to play the championship game. The highlight of the tournament was staged March 15 when South Dormitory played Phi Mu. It was by far the most exciting game of the tournament. The gymnasium was filled with spectators who saw the keenest competition in sports of this year. The starting line-up for South was Alberta DeLozier, Betty Jean Cochrane, Dot Burton, Ruth Ewart, and Pat Patton. Phi Mu had Betty Barrentine, Elzena Widenhouse, Shirley Warner, Quin cey Parrish, Carolyn L. WUson and Margaret Ann Surber. The end of the first quarter found South ahead by a score of 17 to 6. In the next period Phi Mu picked up, but throughout the entire game they were unable to conquer their opponents. South Dormitory had a team which worked together to exhibit perfect teamwork and were therefore the winners of the game and also the Basketball Tourna ment. It was fun for everyone, and the school is looking forward to the class basketball games with much enthusiasm. 109 S. TRYON 128 N.
