October 16, 1947 QUEENS BLUES Page 3 Chapter Chatter Alpha Gamma Delta Our sorority inspector, Helen Moore McArthur, arrived here Sunday and stayed until Wednes day. Since she has visited Alpha Gam chapters all over the United States and in South America she was well informed and quite able to advise us and give us many helpful suggestions. Joanne and Mary Katherine were especially glad to see Helen because they met her at the convention in Canada this summer. It certainly is nicer when some of your members know the inspector. Monday afternoon the Alpha Gams gave a tea for Helen. The president of the sororities on campus, Florence Robinson, presi dent of Pan-Hellenic Council; and members of the faculty were invited. Open face cheese sand wiches, cookies, and Russian tea were served for refreshments. Joanne and Mary Katherine have big plans for next week end. They are going to visit our chapter over in Chapel Hill. We hope to arrange it so that our chapter can meet with the chap ter from Chapel Hill either here or in Chapel Hill for our Inter national Reunion Day. Alpha Eta Sigma The weather may have been chilly outside, but inside the Hut was simply aglow with fun and enthusiasm during our tea to welcome Miss Strickland as our sponsor. In the short meeting which preceded the tea. Hazel Ann discussed the facts about our new policy and plan after plan was proposed for making Alpha Eta Sigma more effective in its role on campus. The ideas under the heading “For Our Own Fun” came thick and fast and before long we hope the whole campus will be buzzing with these ac tivities. Alpha Delta Pi We know that you are wonder ing about a certain glow on the faces of the Alpha Delta Pi’s. We are so proud of our new initiates, Anne (“Beat-Up”) Beatty, Mary Blanche (“Butch”) Corry, Josephine (“Jo”) Loftis, and Mary Jean Martin, that we can’t keep from showing it. They' were initiated Saturday, October 4. Congratulations, girls! It seemed like old times to have alums Lucy Pate, and Jane and Betty Carter here for initi ation. Miss Linville, we are happy to say, has consented to be our sponsor this year. We know that under her guidance we will make much progress. Big plans are under way for a party with the Pi Kappa Phi’s of Davidson in the “not-too-dis- tant” future. Marilyn Diggers and Frances Scarrett are in charge of preparations so we are all looking forward to a grand party.

Pants are like molasses, thin ner in hot weather and thicker in cold weather. There has been much discussion as to whether pants is singular or plural .When a man wears pants it is plural. When a woman wears pants it is singular. If you want to make your pants last, make your coat first.” 1926.

They can look into a crowd of a thousand girls and pick out the good sup porters.” 1926. “The sensation created in eastern collegiate circles when a smoking room was set aside in each dormitory at Bryn Mawr will have no counterpoint in southern institutions for women ...” 1926. “Does true love come more than once?

They went in a body, without chaperones.” “On Saturday at 8:00 P. M., the students of Queens, adequate ly chaperoned, will go on an ex cursion to Mt. Mourne . . . Their train will arrive at Mt. Mourne at exactly midnight, where spec ial guides will show the young people over the city!!! . . . Hot dogs with onions will be served by the Hash Slingers Club of the By LAURA STROPE city, after which the mayor of the town will drink to the health of midnight parties . . .

The International Silver Store Compliments of PAUL & CRYMES Sporting Goods Senior Shadows Although she calls herself a Southerner, I call Washington Yankee land! But yankee or reb el, Nancy Gordon is indeed “girl about campus.” Her high school years were spent mostly at West Point and Annapolis I am told. And when she hit Queens in ’44 Davidson being the nearest institute for males, Nancy was found at all the functions—and has been all her other years at school. Seeing her on campus we rec ognize her first by her friendli ness. Nancy has a smile and cheery word for everyone which makes her popularity wide spread. Her junior year Nancy was tapped by Alpha Kappa Gamma and elected president for the fol lowing year. Majoring in sociology, she has asked all of us up to Alaska where she says she is going right after her college career is finished. Nancy is going to demand better housing and shorter working hours for the Eskimos—and her self. As president of North Dormi tory we all give her a hearty word of praise. There’s never a dull moment with Gordon run ning things! Her friends are many—among teachers and students—it’s a pity she s a senior—what’ll we do without her next year? A Frost Fantasy EDWINA McDILL October twilight is stealing ov er the year, and each feathery breeze brushed by to retouch the childhood fairyland that still lives in our memory. Ho you remember the fairy stories that you used to hear just before you snuggled under the covers? Do you remember the tale about Jack Frost who scam pered around when the autumn winds grew cool carrying a plate dotted with vivid paints and as many brushes to match? He was a quaint little elf with pointed eye-brows and a beard of ice; his nose was just as red as Jack Frost’s nose ought to be. A quick sort of person who dart ed about with his golds and reds constantly in use leaving behind him a glory of color in one night’s time. He’s a fellow that you shouldn’t foget. You remember. You used to sit by the window watching for him, hoping he would come soon and paint a frosty picture on your windowpane. It was so warm and snug inside, and you waited for him there. Remem ber? You never did honest-to-good- ness see him, but you felt him pinch your nose until it turned as red as his ahd you did see the trees that his oils had touched so he was as real as if you had played marbles together. Besides it was much more fun to play-like because with him in visible he was just what you imagined him to be with his painted, brown cap and green breeches. Yes, it was much nicer that way. But now you are a young la dy, or man, as the case may be, and you have achieved stark re ality with your educated mind. Why call nature the doings of a little old elf named Jack Frost? You have studied botany, biolo gy, and all those other “big-olo- gies.” You know the facts so Jack Frost must live only for the imagination of children. Or does he? Huh?
