Fashion Queens . . .
When you dress are you cap
turing that new look in each cos
tume? By the hour fashions are
becoming more feminine. Curves
are expressing themselves dra
matically with round, padded
shoulders and hips. This flowing
silhouette is demanded by the
influx of such luxurious fabrics
as soft plaids, moires, taffetas,
and satins. You ask what is this
new silhouette? It is a picture
of elegance from top to toe—
head hugging hats, round shoul
ders, a nipped in waist, curved
hip, longer skirts and gloves,
darker stockings, and higher
heels. Has anyone achieved this
at Queens? Of course! Dot Thom
as was perfectly dressed for her
weekend jaunt in a mist gray
suit. The skirt was tubular un
der an eye-catching jacket. This
jacket not only had front interest
but back interest, too! It was
buttoned diagonally by three
large silver buttons. From two
tiny buttons at the center of the
back flowed a voluminous dip
ping peplum. Dot carried out
the theme with black stockings
and black suede shoes. Her black
trim hat was set off beautifully
by her casually arranged blonde
hair. Lovely, Dot.
Lillian McCullouch looked as
fresh as a sprig of mint at church
in a winter white wool shirt
waist dress. Lillian tucked a
vivid green scarf in at the neck
and added sparkle by a green
jewelled pin. This wasn’t just a
dress, oh, no! It was an ensemble
—she found a matching hat of
soft white felt. And guess what?
It had a cocky green feather dip
ping right over the front!

Anita Dalton was seen on
campus wearing a neat two piece,
bolero suit. It is a tan, black,
and white minute salt and pepper
check. The jacket has three-quar
ter length sleeves ending in a
tiny cuff. The edges are bound
by a narrow black tape. For ac
cessories Nita chose a black silk
blouse and patent belt.
It is always important to choose
versatile clothes for school. A
white jacket fits just such de
scriptions. Jackie English and
Shirley Tison show us how. With
hers Jackie wears a brown, blue,
and yellow plaid skirt topped
by a deep brown sweater. Shir
ley, on the other hand, goes clas
sic with a black flared skirt and
a white crepe blouse with all im
portant neck interest.
A striking suit has really been
found by Frances Lazenby. It is
fashioned in red wool of the very
brightest hue. The bell-hop jack
et has a double row of gold but
tons marching down the front
making it fit snugly over a gored
skirt.
Slate was chosen by Mariflo
Hillard for a short sleeve bolero
suit. Under the boxy jacket she
wore a gray and white crepe
blouse which accented the
straight skirt.
Say, did you see Betty Wayne
Williams at church in her brown
taffeta date dress? It had a high
neckline and extended shoulder
sleeves. From the front of the
waist extending over the hips
to the small of the back were two
banners of gathered taffeta so
tied as to form a bustle. Betty
wore a brown felt hat trimmed
in champayne satin. Right over
the left ear were two satin roses.
Yummy!
Sunny Rose looked mighty
saucy sitting by Diana in her
bright red and green plaid wool
dress. The skirt was gathered
with two oversized patch pock
ets. Her waist was given that
wee look by a gold studded red
belt. Snowy white collar and
cuffs added the band-box look.
Perfect for the classroom. Sun
ny!
The college girl just can’t get
away from sweaters, but who
wants to? Nowadays even a
sweater can have the new look
through tricks with scarves. Pat
sy Desmond has two cashmere
pullovers in chocolate brown and
fir green. They are kitten soft—
an ideal background for a filmy
silk scarf. Let’s try one knotted
at the throat, Patsy.
Daring was the word for Lois
Mann in her red suit. The dou
ble-breasted jacket had a tiny
belt in back which caught in the
full pleated peplum. The pencil
skirt had a baby slit right in the
middle for flattery. Blouses can
change the entire effect of a
suit. Lois obtained the feminine
look in a high neck blouse edged
with Irish lace.
Byrdie Crow and Pinkie Kibler
caught many an eye at dinner
Friday night. Pinkie wore a long
sleeved green blouse with a black
tie and matching black skirt.
Byrdie modeled a very short
sleeve dress with a startling red
and white stripe falling from the
left shoulder to hemline.
The quaint technique was cho
sen by Bunny Fowler. She added
a white blouse, a red belt, and a
black and white taffeta skirt to
get a sum total of charm.
If you are still looking for a
suit dress, you had better check
with Edith Crowley first. She
found a love in black taffeta.
That will be lovely for the tea
dances.
The teachers must appreciate
the change dame fashion has
caused in the classrooms. Bee
Jay Booream rates as A for her
selection of a green wool dress
with crisp pique collar and cuffs.
“A suit is good anytime,” say
Pat Watson and Goldie Barron.
Pat uses grey for classes because
of the many variations it offers,
while Goldie finds a suit perfect
for dress. A vibrant green proved
her to be right at Yary’s wedding.
Those of you who can’t decide
about dressy sweaters need only
look at Virginia Nuttall in her
sleeveless one. That is the look,
Virginia, that WE want.
Margie Holt made us look
twice on Queens Road. Why? A
QUEENS BLUES
green jewel tone satin dress that
is sheer witchery.
A distinctive Sunday dress is
that of Phyllis Johnson. It is
crepe in a crushed mulberry
shade. The long cylinder skirt
had two bands of matching satin
encircling the skirt at the knees
and the hemline . The neckline
and sleeves are edged with tiny,
plaited tubing made from the
material.
Well, girls, looking into my
crystal ball I can forecast and
advise you to let the rest of
those skirts down and the next
time you are in town get YOUR
dark shadow — sheer stockings.
Never before has integration
played such a role in your cos
tume. It is time to give a second
thought to stockings and gloves.
Madame Fashion, Queens is
ready!

The Civil Service Commission
has announced a revision of the
requirements for Student Dieti
tian appointments in Veterans
Administration, War Department

change is the elimination of the
written test. Applicants may now
qualify on the basis of appropri
ate education. Age limits have
also been changed and there are
minor changes in the educational
requirements for training in the
War Department. A new exami
nation announcement has been
issued setting forth the new re
quirements.
The maximum salary for the
12-month training period for
these positions is $1,470, which
includes allowance for subsist
ence. Quarters, and overtime. To
qualify, applicants must have
completed, or expect to complete
within the next few months, at
least 36 semester hours of col
lege study which has included 12
semester hours in chemistry, 6
semester hours in biology, 6 se
mester hours in foods, 6 semester
hours in nutrition and diet in
disease, and 6 semester hours in
institution management. In ad
dition, the Veterans Administra
tion and the War Department re
quire 9 semester hours in social
sciences and 3 semester hours
in education. Applicants for
training with these agencies must
have received a bachelor’s degree
from a college or university of

Music Dept.
(Continued from page 1)
ty will give a concert for the
Charlotte Music Club. Miss Myer,
Miss Williams, Mrs. Mosely, Mr.
Hibbard, and Mr. Holliday will
present this concert at the Mint

studing under the world-famed
harpist, Carlos Salzedo. During
this time she gave three concerts.
Mr. Holliday taught this summer
in Transylvania Music Camp at
Brevard, N. C.
The Music Department is pro
gressing rapidly and is certainly
a credit to Queens.

offers. The Orientation Commit
tee and the Counselors did a
splendid job in helping-the fresh
men get settled on campus'and
get started on the year’s work.
The Orientation Committee  wel
comed the freshmen to Queens
and orientated them to life- in
college. Then the Counselors car
ried that work on and -gave the
freshmen what guidance they
could . . . They also worked with
the Health Committee on" the
freshman health program. They
take them to concerts, receptions,
and to other college functions,
and they generally aid their
counselees in any way they can.
Our appreciation for this goes to
Emily Kimrey and her com
mittee.
All of the student organizations
are cooperating with student'gov
ernment to make this year the
best one yet. The Athletic Asso
ciation, as well as other organiza
tions, is working with student
government to plan activities for
the students and to schedule
them so that there are very few
conflicts. So frequently students
do not get to take part in certain
activities because they conflict
with other activities. ' ■
The new privileges are really
something to be grateful for. The
later hours students are permit
ted this year are really grand.
The students should express their
appreciation to those who keep
the Dean’s office for staying- up
later and making this possible'.
'The Student Govrenment does
serve many functions, all for the
benefit of the students; and the
students should realize this and
express their genuine apprecia
tion by taking part in things and
co-operating fully in every re
spect.
