EENS BLUES VOL. NO. 8 QUEENS COLLEGE, CHARLOTTE, N. C. MARCH 20,1947 OFFICERS ARE ELECTED CC.U.N.C Holds Party For Queens On Wednesday night, March 5th, the students at C.C.U.N.C. had an infformal party in the Recreation Room at the Armory for a number of Queens girls. The boys came for the Queens at 7:30 P. M. in their cars and took them to the Armory. At the Ar- niory the queens were met by their . hosts — dozens of men. A Paul Jones was held at first. There were many good records on the juke box to dance to, includ ing the record of the day—“Heart aches”. There was plenty of en tertainment for those who didn’t want to dance — checkers, hearts, bridge, ping pong, billiards, etc. And during the process of the even ing the girls were entertained by numerous talented hoys who sang, played the piano, and one who did very good imitations of famous screen personalities. Refreshments were plentiful and very enjoyable — all kinds of soft drinks, cookies, crackers, and a huge bowl of potato chips. Everyone had a grand time and you girls who didn’t get an invite , before, cheer up ’cause your time’s a-coming. There aren’t enough stu dents at C.C.U.N.C. for every Queens girl, so they’re having to take us in groups. When your time comes to go, don’t fail to do so, or you’ll be s-o-r-r-y.

Meet Ruth Sherrill, Alias— D IT a Girls To Take Office After Holidays Three Cabinets Meet At Davidson On February 19, the SCA cabinets of Davidson, Johnson C. Smith, and Queens met together for what proved to be a very helpful discus sion on the methods of conducting Religious Emphasis Week on the campus. The three cabinets met in the Y at Davidson and spent two hours exchanging ideas and ans wering questions. A representative of each group told how his organ ization contactor a speaker and planned various activities during his stay on campus. The Johnson C. Smith group reported that they had had great success with special dormitory prayer meetings through out Religious Emphasis Week. The Davidson boys said that on their campus it is traditional for each fraternity to choose one night to attend the Vesper Service in a body. These are only two of the new ideas that we hope to use on our campus this spring. This joint meeting was an inspiration to all who attended, and we are looking forward to more sharing between the three cabinets. New Rec Room To Open Soon A new Recreation Room is now being completed in the basement of Morrison dormitory. This new room is smaller and will be more like a lounge. The old Recreation Room will be used by the Physical Education Department for class work and dancing classes. Pre viously the dancing classes have been held in Blair Union. There the classes suffered from lack of space and the day students from no place to go. (Thanks, Day Stu dents, for the use of your lounge!) The piano will be left in the old Recreation Room to be used for games and other forms of entertain ment on the weekends. However, smoking will be allowed in the smaller smoking room. It appears to me that what the whole world needs is a lot more open minds and a lot less open mouths. A good thing to remember is that there is always goin’ to be a tomor row as well as a today and yes terday. SEE THE WORLD Queens Lookout By Eleanor Huske Out of the hectic rush of our ^sily life conies a clear voice say “Be still and know that I am God.” How many of us take time listen and to heed that voice. If only we could stop long enoug fo refresh ourselves in the Power and strength that Go wi ®PPply us, what a glorious calmne ^Pd purpose would fiB ^ God has made Himself availaWe us in so many ways B ^ take advantage of them. We fiPd His power and orderliness re pealed in nature. We see His good ness radiating in the lives of those 1^0 truly follow Him. We learn of ^is loving purpose of /edemp nud His ways of looking Jiuman beings in the Book tha We can meet His message to us. Him personally in our daily rience of we live prayerfully an aumbly. We can know Him more IPlly by entrusting our lives into His complete plan for us and by "working for others in His Kmg- fom on earth. Most of all we have the privilege of knowing Him in the Jnil light of Jesus, His Son and pur Saviour, as He reveals God s rue character. If God ^ p- ns the privilege of living with Him nnch day. is it not worth just a 'ruction of our day’s time to be ^.P^lth Him in a few moment’s quiet n^mmunion? Once upon a time long, long 8 —February 28, 1947, to be exact- seven queens from Queens set o to see the world. They were hea for Grensboro and the hither ^ seen campus of the Woman s lege of the University of Nor olina. These girls were going t see W. C.’s annual gym mee to help draw up fstl'coTsWufioa for the Nortt CafollL Athletic Federation tor Women. , guide Miss and furnished „t this enpedit-ch ana^^ Susie, her can Rutn Ewart, portation-LoisWi Betty Norris, Ml y ^h^e made^ up the bulk of this Jpr mtle band. Well, the group Greensboro about five- iHrtv They wen? straight to the hulldlng Wher^mey were mpt by some of tne Thoii)Ughl7'^mrressed. ’ The . Cthe moment: “Wouldn’t thought for th it be wonderful If y thing even half as “ jg^ed look- ley were shown the - iSe to occupy for the rooms they wer night, and 'be pfeteria to get to the Home EC ca'eter^ some supper. After the gym they trouped where they sat on the front row of the re served seats like “big dogs”—right up there with the press. And then things began to happen! First of all the cheerleaders came out and led their section in some cheers and songs. And they were really good. The girls were divided up into leagues; each league was composed of several dormitories and sat in a special section of the gym—much like our own stunt night. Now it was about time for things to start and the participants came out and marched around the gym while each league was cheering for her group. Most of the girls who took part in the gym meet were physical edu cation majors. The first event on the program consisted of stunts done on different apparatus. There were about ten different things going on at one time, and it was hard to see everything. Each girl was graded on how well she did and this grade went down for her league. This was followed by a faculty-student relay; then folk dancing, a bicycle stunt, marching tactics, tap dance, stunts done by clowns, building of pyramids, and finall yafashion show of gym suits from the eighteen hundreds to the present. Then the league that had the highest number of points was announced, and there were more cheers and songs and things. It was all just wonderful; the girls from Queens had never seen any thing quite like it, and were sur prised that' such things could be done. Saturday morning the Queens were up bright and early—about nine-thirty, that is—and ready for the big meeting. This meeting was for the purpose of discussing and adopting the proposed constitution for the North Carolina Athletic Federation of College Women. The constitution had been drawn up by a tentative executive committee consisting of representatives from Meredith, W. C. Salem, Duke, and the U.N.C.., and was now ready to be discussed by those at the meeting in Greensboro. So the dis cussion began and after making several changes and additions the constitution was adopted. Next we had to elect officers for the organ ization; these were to be elected by colleges, rather than individuals. W. C. was elected next year’s pres ident and Queens the recording sec retary. The schools elected are now to select the Individuals to serve in these capacities. The purpose of this state feder ation is “to further athletic in terests and activities for women and girls according to the highest and soundest standards of sports and other recreation activities., Well, the meeting was over and it was time for all the girls to start back to Charlotte, so into Susie they climbed, tired but happy with the results of their experience In the outside world. Annual student body elections were held from Monday, March tenth through Wednesday, March nineteenth, for the purpose of choosing next year’s leaders. The first election was that for student body president held March tenth. The final voting was be tween Nancy Gordon, Washington, D. C., and Eleanor Huske from Reidsville. Eleanor Huske was elected. On Tuesday, March eleventh, election of the two Vice-presidents of the student body was held.

On Wednesday, March twelfth, Betty Sue Trulock was elected president of the Student Christian Association; Cathey Deeper was elected president of the Athletic Association; Virginia Gray was elected Secretary of Student Gov ernment; and Grace Marie Childs was elected Treasurer of Student Government. On Thursday, March thirteenth, two new members were elected to Honor Council to serve two year terms each. These were Nancy Gordon and Jackie English.

Ever notice how the guy who seems to be so fairminded never seems to have a mind of his own about anything? It’s just too bad that good times don’t bring good times. : 1 f r j .-■4 ih
