May 30, 1946 QUEENS BLUES Page 3 Slinging The Dust Spring’s in the air. If you don’t believe it just ask Flo and Edward. She’s lovely, she’s engaged, but does she use Pond’s? Anyway, con grats to Ginny. Certainly is cozy cooking in so rority houses on Saturday nights with Davidson men. At least Jinkie and Rudy must think so. If there is anything Jane Clay likes to do, it’s double date! Alice and Margaret, it’s nice to have Bobby and Johnny come to see you and all that but eleven fifteen is still the time limit on Saturday night. Who, besides Bobby Fowlkes, could go to the William and Mary dances, and be so nonchalant about it? Poor Moan — first Jurgens has him, then Lib. Girls, let’s make up his mind! Among those who recently donat ed their brothers to Queens is Cornelia Ditto who gave Bill to “Tommy.” Dr. Robertson is constantly tell ing Ruth Turner her technique is bad, but when we look at Harry we wonder! Where does B. J. Booream get her gardenias? Jane Clay, what happened to David? His once familiar name is almost never heard. Showers! Showers! — both kinds. About one kind ask the weather man. About the other kind ask Rachel, Ginny, Winkie, Carolyn, Kitty, and Ruth. To most of us a ’46 convertible is quite a curiosity but to Carolyn Short it’s just an everyday occur rence. We heard Judy Wright had a hard time deciding whether or not to go home last week-end, but it didn’t take Bobby long to jpiake up her mind. Just as smoke gets in your eyes, so does dust, so I’d better stop. /tetleetions Of A. SENIOR By far the most important bill in our code, is that for the diffusion of knowledge among the people. No other sure foundation can be de vised for the preservation of free dom and happiness.—Thomas Jef ferson. Sears, Roebuck &Co. Best Wares and Bargains 304 S.

Yes, “we’re sorry we’re going away,” (without the Ha! Ha! ). Queens has meant and will con tinue to mean a great deal to each of us. Her ideals, her teachings, her gifts of security and Christian love have become such a deep- rooted part of us that we shall want to strive more earnestly to find “the greater walk someday.” We, as educated women, must ac cept great responsibilities in our communities, our states, and our nation. But, what ARE those ideals for which Queens stands? How many of us truly realize their significance as stated in the catalogue? “We believe that RELIGION is the requisite of noble living. Jesus Christ stands at the center of our faith. In Him we find true re ligion to be purposeful, vitally ccjn- cerned with the whole of life, understandingly tolerant of others, and supremely loyal to the highest. secondly, “We believe that r'TTAT?ACTER is essential to happy L useful living. We wish truth fulness, honesty, wholesomeness, unselfishness, and the spirit of service to be embodied in the de veloping character of each student. “We believe in INTELLECTUAL attainment, confident that only alert minds, trained to think and to face squarely the problems of today, will be able to lead future generations “We believe in CIVIC OBLIGA TION, hoping that each student will prepare for responsible citizen ship in local, national, and inter national affairs and will accept re sponsibilities wherever presented. “We believe in CULTURED CHARM. It is our desire that our graduates will uphold the high traditions of cultured womanhood and go forth with an appreciation of the true, the good, and the beautiful. “We believe in PHYSICAL HEALTH, knowing that a well- developed, sound body is the de sirable habitation for the fine soul and the strong intellect. • ^ And, finally “we believe in VO CATIONAL GUIDANCE, realizing that a college has the opportunity of assisting the student to be hap pily adjusted to her life work.” These are the abstract things which we shall leave here at Queens for those who follow us, but at the same time, we shall take them with us in those traits of character which have been in stilled into our lives even though we may not have been consciously aware of it in the course of four years. Queens’ ideals constitute an inheritance . . • YOURS for the seeking. Be PROUD of it! —SHIRLEY McMULLEN. We're Hoping; Are You! Legion Post Salvages Playground From Fire Dedication of burned-out Oriole Park as a neighborhood playground by The American Legion’s Waverly Post 164 featured Baltimore Youth Week ceremonies held throughout the city. Robert G. Koch, adjutant of the 8-month old American Legion post which sponsored renovation of the park, said the project was under taken as an example of “what coop eration will accomplish.” Mayor McKeldin and Post Commander Eric Clayton also spoke at the dedicatory service.

Frisco Wlir Enterialn 2 '46 Legion Conventions The Queens BLUES is, we hope, definitely on her way up. Watch for the first issue next year. I’m anxious for the student body to see the new staff that’s lining up. Believe me, these kids that they’ve got in mind for next year really have plenty on the ball. They have been hand-picked after much blood, sweat, and tears from the Lone Editor and her Good Woman Friday after many long grueling sessions. The consent and bestowal of the privileges (for that’s what they really are) upon the lucky people, has not been completed, and it wouldn’t be very nice to mention some names without being able to include all of them. So we’ll just have to wait and tell you all about this wonderful bunch j of people next fall. But I can tell you this much—they are a good bunch of gals and they really are going to do a lot for ye olde ' BLUES. j A newspaper is what its readers make it—but moreso, it is what its staff makes it. If you don’t have a staff that works together in earnest and sincere cooperation, then you simply do not have a newspaper. A really super deluxe paper is what we have in mind and with a little elbow grease, a lot of hard work, and mutual understanding and helpfulness that’s what we’re going to try to give you. Hope we make it! —PEEWEE* San Francisco will entertain two American Legion conventions this year. The state convention will be held here August 18, 19, and 20. The national convention will run from Septernber 30 to October 4. The California American Legion executive committee made plans for the events during a 2-day meeting here. Nearly 500 veterans have repaid GI loans in full totalling more than $1,000,000, the VA has announced. ♦Peewee Is one of the new staff, and we all like her because she’s so stupid and lovable. Personally, we all think that this particular article stinks and we told her so, but .lust to humor her we’re publishing it. Peewee cried and beat her head on the floor until we promised her that we would. Our sincere apologies to our readers for such overt bragging, you might say, on our own publication. You see, Peewee loves the BLUES—and that’s why we love Peewee.—The Editor.

For many hours the club jhas practiced in order to present programs for the entertainment of the student body, and in each case the play has been successful. Next year, a larger and better program has been planned and needs but one thing to make it a success—the earnest support and cooperation of the student body. Tryouts for the plays are to be open to each and every girl, so all have a chance to win a part.
