J • I V QUEENS BLUES Page 5 CHAPTER CHATTER Alpha Eta Sigma For about a month now we have been making our weekly visits to Memorial hospital, and it’s some thing we have to look forward to the doctors, unrses and officials always seem glad to see us. They are most cosiderate about advising, directing, and helping us with our work. November 7, we met in Louise Fink and Mable Ruth Mundy’s room. In the first issue of the “Blues” there was a statement made that each meeting we were to meet in one of the girl’s rooms and refresh ments were served. We said once a week and we are wanting to make an apology for we only meet once a month to have food. This makes it better than if we had eats every time. Kappa Delta It seems that the KD’s have hit upon the thing to do. Every Wed nesday night we meet at the house between ten and ten thirty for doughnuts and coffee. Really makes life worth living. Also, the pledges have elected their officers: Rossie Meadows is president, Mickey Best is^ vice- president, Catherine Lewis is sec retary, and the treasurer is Fran ces Mimms. Our pledge banquet was held at Kuester’s on Friday, Nov 15 Mrs. Dana Robinson and Miss West were the guests. The KD pledge tea is to be De cember 3 for all the other sorori ties. Blame It On Blackmon Alpha Gamma Delta With thirteen grand new pledges, the Alpha Gams are bubbling over with enthusiastic plans. Thanksgiving will be a big event with supper at the house followed by a party. We’re looking forward to seeing families and friends. The Autumn Nocturne is still a main topic of conversation. What a big success it was. Our house was overflowing with balloons, garde nias, and tuxedoes. We enjoyed having so many guests. Alpha Delta Pi The APDi House certainly was jammed Saturday night after the dance. So good having Betty Carter, Brawn Whitmire, and Claudia Pas chal here for the banquet. The Charlotte Alumni Chapter held its first meeting at the house last Mon day night. Certainly was grand seeing Pud and Ginner even if it was short. The actives certainly are proud of the pledges who enjoy building those roaring fires. quality jewelry M. B. SMITH JEWELERS, INC. North Tryon St. Charlotte, N. C. Phi Nlu . T. * Everyone is still raving about the big weekend of the dance. We loved having all our friends drop in for open house. Ruth Kinney and her host of cooks really gave a fine breakfast complete with bridge games afterwards. Feed that night was just like old home week. Seems that everyone brought their men. Among the fa- Sar faces were seen Ross, Lewis, Allen, Buddy, and Bob.

Belk Bbos The Coronet is coming along famously. How Perry manages to combine an academic life with that of being an annual editor is beyond our comprehension. She and Mac- Dowell and the rest of the staff are carrying on nobly. Most of the pictures have already been made. The Blues staff is elated over the interest shown by our literary minded freshmen. Their contribu tions and enthusiasm are giving the upperclassmen a needed lift. Blue-Ribbon-Department: Orchids to Lillian DeArmon for the lovely, lovely Autumn Noc turne — it’s the dance that’s our nomination for the memory of the year. • , Those sandwiches and milk over in the dining room at ten every night are just the thing we need ’specially if we’ve been slaving over the books. The Physical Ed classes wield wicked rakes when it comes to getting the campus out from under those tons and tons of leaves that litter the Queens acres. Takes more than a measley labor shortage to stop these Queens gals. Exciting-Events-Department: There are promising rumors be ing wafted about concerning the Queens-CCUNC informal to be sponsored by the day students. Be sure to get your invitations lined up, you jeune filles, because its first come, first served. Please refer to Dit’s Dope to in vestigate these thousands of ex citing weekends that the queens around these hallowed halls just won’t stop having. Come Friday, the place takes on all the morbid aspects of a first-rate morgue. Now that Thanksgiving’s here and almost gone plenty of the more eager, ambitious femmes have had the brilliant idea that now is the best time to get to work on that Christmas list. The earlier it’s done the better — your range of choices will be much greater, and you’ll come much nearer to finding exactly what you want. Are you having difficulties deciding what to get HIM? There are some help ful suggestions in the December MADEMOISELLE. Gentle hint: Have you noticed how beautiful he looks in a blue sweater (if he’s a blonde), or a yellow sweater (if he’s a brunette)? Have-You-Seen-Department: Judy Wright’s walls deserves a gander, especially from those with a sense of the artistic. She’s got the latest thing in original wall paper. Its comprised primarily of newspaper clippings and if you think that a Wake Forest grid- ironer will harmonize well with your bedspreads, be sure to copy Who is the most valuable man you know of around Q. C.? Who is it that you call on when you run into mechanical inconveniences? Of course, everybody knows the most sought-after man on Queens Campus is our fixer-upper — Mr. Pierman. It was with a real tang of enthu siasm and gusto that this reporter took-out to interview Mr. Pierman for the Blues. He was found carrying mail to the Post Office, and after complet ing this pressing chore, he gener ously consented to contribute fif teen minutes of his valuable time to being cross-examined by this anx ious quizzer. First off, we talked about the nine months Mr. Pierman has been Maintenance Engineer at Queens. That is his official title, though one might wonder at so simple a title when considering the complexity of his jobs. “Not fifteen minutes of the same thing, so there’s n9 chance for monotony. Its the most pleasant work I’ve ever done,” says Mr. Pierman. Mr. jPierman came to Queens from the Duke Power Company, for which he had served twenty years, receiving two service stars there. And he tells his friends that he hopes to work for Queens twen ty years and retire. (Great Idea!) Because, “I’ve never had an irri tating request from any girl at Queens . . . They’re the friendliest bunch of girls I’ve ever known. As far as his private life is con cerned — Mr. Pierman hails from Douglas, South Carolina. He is mar ried and has one son, “Pug” Jr., who is a senior at Harding High School, and who plays left tackle on their football team. Mr. Pierman is affiliated with the “one-man union” and, news *** He doesn’t plan to strike! All of us Queenies will approve of this union. We think the Pierman union “from be low the floors to above the roof” is tops. , Y NOTES same. HUNTER floral COMPANY, INC. ★ Phone 7119 ★ HAVILMD SMITH ★ 3100 Park Road Charlotte, N. C. Here And T here By RUTH MAGRATH Thursday afternoon, November 15, S. C. A. Cabinet squeezed into two cars and went out to Fairview Homes for the afternoon. Fairview Homes is a negro housing project where nearly two hundred families live. When we first got there, Mr Carter, pastor of Fairview Home Church, took us to the playground and we had fun watching the children play. Then he took us through the library, and next we went to see the new church. This little unfinished church is the only place near Fairview Homes that the negro children can attend. As soon as the little church is finished it will be ready for use, if Mr. Car ter can get money to buy materials for the Sunday School Department. This is where S. C. A. cabinet and Queens College comes in. S. C. A.Cabinet chose this Fair- view Homes Church as its project because we felt that Queens girls would be glad to contribute money to an organization that was going to teach children how to live better Christian lives. With the money we raise here at Queens, Mr. Car ter will buy song books, little choir robes, reading materials, and black boards to use when you are teach ing children about God. This is our opportunity to help someone else, to make Charlotte a better com munity, and to advance the King dom of God. So won’t you give and give a lot when our (and your) drive for Fairview Homes starts! By JANE DAVIS Have you seen pages and pages of some strange new language floating allround our campus? If these were war times you can bet your Sunday boots that Miss Har rell would have called on the F. B. I. to help decipher these strange messages. It hain’t though, so you put on your billed hat, fill your pipe, and sleuth on up to the second floor of Burwell. This is probably what you will hear “O . . . bling . . silence, sighs, then it starts— clackety, clackety, clack, clack— bling.” Then from the stony quiet can be heard Prof. B. Hodges, M. P. H. Typist, reading from some strange struggling soul’s paper— It takes onlu a luttlye thoughy and effirt eax da; to l?arn to type .”—Take it from m-e though, it takes more than any “little” bit of effort. I sit there all positioned with both hands on the keyboard, feet on the floor, hands up, shoulders out, and fingers all ready to fly. Just let that “Begin” bell ring though, and I freeze. Really, I think with my fingers just like we’ve been told to do, but when I look down to see why that finger hasn’t moved, it’s jus’ sitting there paralized. Finally, hoping that Ruth Ewart, the speed queen, won’t notice, I take my right hand from the keyboard and use it to lift my “d” finger up to the “e” key—. ’Bout that time, Archie Dillard, the speed king, lets out a loud “Ahem” *—which translated means “Ha, ha, I saw you”. Well, anyway, there’s no harm in trying. Nothing bothers the rest of the class as they type their way to fame and fortune, with the inventi-on of the “Type- ting skanguage.” Fame and fortune aren’t the only things Queens’ girls are in terested in, however. It’s jus’ about the “gettingest” aroundest bunch of people. Weekend before last. Queens was represented at Wake Forest, West Point, State, Citadel, and Clemson. Cornelia Ditto was one of the members of the Charm Circle at the grand ole School of Clemson and if you want to hear something funny, get her to tell you about it. The college had open ed up one of the boys’ barracks for the girls and the boys had fixed them up. Can’t you see those boys draping the windows with their finest sheets for curtains— well, that is just what they did. And then, they proceeded to make up the beds, put out soap, towels, and toothpaste. A lot of the boys had left their pictures of the girl friend hanging on the wall, but had carefully covered them with paper. Betcha many a girl did some snoop ing around to be sure that hers is the only smiling face her Tom looks at over his toothbrush each morning. I gotta run now, but before I do I jus’ want to tell ya that all the horrible mistakes in the typing are purely accidentlal. ¥ill I see you there. This is the e-nd. 109 S. TRYON 128 N.
