i\oc oiuy did it snow and sleet on
the weeK-end of the twenty-iirst,
nut tne weather tried to outdo it
self by being twice as messy on the
following week-end. Betty Iviorri^
and Joanne Macaulay were heard
singing “Oh, tne weather outside is
fngntiul, ’ but neither one of them
seemed to care. To find out what
other people thought about the
“miraculous happening,” 1 called
for my dog-sled, put on my Mrs.
Santa Claus suit, and headed lor the
local gathering place—Alyers Park
Country Club to you. Half of Queens
was there, sliding on sleds, trays,
seats, or anything else available. As
my dogs and I surveyed the scene,
Peggy Lay came—no, it couldn’t be,
but It was—whizzing by on skis.
When I asked her what she thought
about the weather, all 1 understood
was mumumumum. Sho was glad to
find out who Atumbles was! At that
time Betty Wayne Williams and
Alartha Harrison came flying past
on a sled. I hollowed at them the
same question, but all 1 got for-an
answer was “Wheeeeee.” Deciding
that the top of a hill was a ■ bad
place to quiz people I gave my dogs
the command of “mush”’ and down
the hill we went. Right at the
bottom of the hill was Alice Grey
Thorpe perched, in a very unlady
like position on the ground. When
I asked Alice Grey what she thought
about the snow, she said, “Oh, I
love it, with all its ups and downs!”
When Margaret Barron and June
Andrews landed at my feet, I quiz-
ed them too. June said that she had
worn her boots for such a long time
that her motto was going to be,
“She died with her boots on.”
Margaret said that the slogan would
be all right if those boots could be
in Seneca, S. C. Ann Crossland and
Louise White produced the loudest
explosion since that atomic bomb
when their tray and sled collided.
Neither of them seemed to suffer
any serious damages, but when I
inquired as to their opinion about
the weather, I began to wonder if
perhaps I might be the next one on
the casualty list.
Starting back to school, 1 ran
into Betty Anderson, Barbera AIc-
Kormick, and Dot Ferguson. They
were having a deadly snowball bat
tle, so when I opened my mouth to
ask them the question, the only
thing that would come out, or rather
go in, was snow. I was not to be de
feated though; therefore, as soon
as possible, I popped them the
question. Betty was shaking so with
the cold that she wasn’t in a positi
on to answer, while Barbara said
that it was fun, but it made her
twice as hungry. Dot was in such
a hury to gei back and open up the
bookstore that she didn’t have time
to answer, and since I was suffering
from frostbite, I probably wouldit’j
have heard her anyway for all the
noise they were making.

Alpha Gamma Delta
With exams over and second
semester well on the way, the Alpha
Gammas have settled down to an
other semester of hard work and
fun. Feeds have been unusually
good, and the house has been in
great demand on these cold snowy
nights by Alpha Gams and dates.
They have been providing their own
entertainment by cooking and
dancing down at the house from all
reports “a gay time has been had
by all.”
Doris Aloore graduated at the end
of first semester, and we do miss
her. She has announced her en
gagement to Charlie Maxsell and
they are planning to be married in
the early spring.
Alpha Delta Pi
Every Friday night from 10 to
10:30 the A D Pi house is full of life
and laughter. Refreshments are
served, songs are sung, and plenty
of just gabbing. We have been do
ing this since Christmas, and have
found that they are the perfect
climax to a busy week and set the
pace for a weekend of fun.
All the A D Pi’s are eagerly look
ing forward to the weekend of the
fourteenth. We are planning to have
a banquet at the Alecklenburg Hotel
before Mardi Gras dance.
Two more of our sisters have
entered the ranks of “brides-to-be.”
Frances Scarrett received her ring
during the holidays, and Jackie
English created a major sensation
when she came in the other night
with a solitaire on her third finger.

Now that exams arc over we
are making plans for a big week end
when initiation time rolls around
;arly in March. Following iniation.
ve will have our banquet and per-
aps a party in honor of the new
litiates. That week-end is a grand
nd glorious affair for all of us, and
e are looking forward to it with
iger anticipation.
Speaking of exams, we want to
take this opportunity to express our
ai)preciation to Martha Scar
borough, one of our alums, for the
wonderful f^-'ed which she and
Marianne Permenter prepared for
us the Sunday of exam week. It
helped us to relax from the strain
of the preceding da3q and fortified
us for the struggle to come. So we
all say many thanks, Scarbo and
Alarianne!
Our alums have been very busy
lately with their project for the
year, which is helping to support the
Good Samaritan Hospital. They
sponsored the fashion show which
was recently held in the auditorium
here at Queens, with the proceeds
going toward the fulfillment of this
project. The clothes were generously
furnished by Lucille’s, and the door
prize, which was won by one of our
own students, June Anderson, was
also offered by Lucille’s. Everybody
who attended the show not only
enjoyed the fashions, but also helped
support a very worthy cause, that
of aiding those who are less for
tunate than we.
Chi Omega
Sorority life is one grand ex
perience and our Sunday night feeds
have been loads of fun. This cold
breeze sent by the weather man
froze our kitchen pipes and we were
unable to have things in full swing,
but w'ith the aid of our handy-man
that will be taken care of pronto.
Buford Bobbitt was one of the
four girls chosen by Pan Hellenic
Council to be listed in the publica
tion Great Greeks.” AVe’re awful
jiroud of you, Bu!
By the grape vine we heard that
one of last years girls, Lois Wilson,
is w'orking for her brother. Mary
Lee Flowers, now Airs. Ed Roper,
is having much fun in this thing
called married life. Another one of
our girls, Alice Nall, is an all out
hit at the University of Georgia.
The pledges are making big plans
for their tea for the other sorority
pledges, their last event before that
fatal day of initiation.
A banquet and party are being
planned in honor of the new mem
bers. Before the dance February 14
we’re having an informal dinner at
Doris AlacDougall’s to get things
running smooth for a big time at the
dance.

“Sir Tobie” Speaks
To Dramatic Club
The Dramatic Club was thrilled
beyond words to have Mr. Henry
Voland (Sir Toby of Twelfth Night
to you) speak to us at our last
meeting. He painted a vivid picture
of the life of an actor in a traveling
company. He conducted his talk
very informally by answering all
questions which members of the
club asked.
At a previous meeting several
members of the club presented a
one-act comedy entitled “Life With
Alother.” The cast included Doris
Lebin, “Pinkie” Kibler, Anne
Beatty, and Edwina AIcDill.
The constitution of the Dramatic
Club is to be submitted by the
constitution committee at the next
meeting. Looking into the future,
the club has several things on the
calendar. First of all, we are plan
ning to enter a one-act play in the
Dramatic Festival which will be
held at Chapel Hill on April 15, 16,
and 17.
Plans are also being made for a
spring production. These will be
announced at a later date.
