QUEENS COLLEGE, CHARLOTTE, N. C.
May 30, 1946
Seniors And The Future
Here We Go
Again
By Penelope Currie
(Prom The Charlotte Observer)
The cleverest group of people in
the town, in the state, in the coun
try is the faculty of Queens College.
Nine months out of the year, they
are the dignified and learned in
structors of youth (we won’t go
into what they are the remaining
three months), except for one eve
ning when they put on an enter
tainment for the students, and act
the fool. As Shakespeare says, “This
fellow is wise enough to play the
fool. And do that well craves
kind of wit,” or in other words
it takes a smart person to make
you laugh.
Laughter rocked the campus on
Wednesday night at the program,
absolutely unrehearsed, but thor
oughly planned by Miss Thelma
Albright, dean of women, and Miss
Elizabeth Hawley, athletic director,
A take off on May day and suit
ably enough called Hey day, it
Was the brain child of these two
smart girls.
Hey day was supposed to be pre
sented in the dell, but true to tradi
tion it rained. In the spirit of the
theater that “the show must go
on,” the program was presented in
the auditorimn.
The first number was a modern
^ance, a frenzy in one movement,
"^e performer, also the announcer
booking the picture of health and
'^^Sor in a riding outfit and a metal
helmet, spoke for contrast in an
I'can’t-help - what-is- happening
Whisper.
While the band, Harrell’s Hot
Licks, played on combs with Miss
Rena “Pfohl” Harrell conducting
on her toy horn, the Hey court
Writhed across the stage. What they
lacked in looks, they made up for
in laughs, for they were the gentle-
nien of the faculty dressed in
skirts.
“Queen” John Holliday wearing
basque-style white dress and
smoking a big cigar tripped to his
throne followed by train bearer
faster Hunter Bryson Blakely.
(Lr. Blakely wore a boy’s suit and
carried a choo-choo train on a
satin cushion, and if I don’t mi^
guess he will have endeared
^iniself more to the students by
co-operating in this tom-foole^
than by guiding the college
greater glory).

Women can get away with wear-
men’s clothes (Katherine Hep-
looks wonderful in trousers),
^ht the funniest, most mirth-
Provoklng sight in the world is to
®®c men in women’s finery. Bald
^eads circled with wreaths o(f
flowers, hairy arms extending from
f^'^fed sleeves, and moustaches
^bove a lipsticked mouth, were the
Sood-for-a-laugh features of the
^cy court.
l^lss Sarah Nooe, the botany
teacher, skipped around sifting flour
fh her role of flower girl. After
tLe show I complimented her on
ability to sift and she said,
That was not flour. It was lime.
With p>eople starving all over the
don’t you say that Queens
lasted flour.”
T>ogs attend everything that goes
at Queens, so Miss Ethel Aber-

Looking forward to the end of exams, commencement
excitement. Summer vacations and eventual work, these five
Queens seniors are enjoying their last days of study and re
laxation in the sunny court on the college campus. They are
