November 17, 1949 Home Ec Majors Give Program Burwell Hall was the scene of several attractions on Friday, No vember 11, when Home Ecnomic majors gave an interesting pro gram in connection with the after dinner coffee hour. The first thing to “meet the eye” was the three types of table set tings. Illustrating the informal table was the arrangement of a breakfast table. A formal dinner table setting was both interesting and educational. Many occasions were brought to the individuals mind as one observed the buffet table which had been set up. An added attraction was the pres ence of Mrs. Elizabeth McLeod of Pound and Moore who presented "The Story of China, by Lennox. Another interesting speaker Was Mrs. L. A. Brown, president of the Queens Alumni Associa tion, a former home economics major, who discussed and dem onstrated the various gifts and gift wrappings one can use for 1 ferent occasions. Dot Thomas spoke using the “Spirit of Giving” as her theme. The program was made possi ble through the work of Barbara Shaw, chairman of the program committee, who was assisted by all members of the Home Eco- nornics Club studying and pre paring table settings and gifts to be used. The exhibits consisted Of loans from Pound and Moore, Belks, Ivey’s, of Charlotte, and the Towle Silver Company of ewberg, Massachusetts. ^ event, the girls in Brown McLeod and Mrs. hostessed supper.

Tradi tionally held on the last Tuesday night before Thanksgiving, Stunt' Night was moved forward at the i joint request of both administra tion and student officials. Veiled in the greatest secrecy, each stunt is carefully prepared to win the maximum effect from surprise and originality. The freshmen are the first to take the stage, followed by the sopho mores, juniors, and seniors. Ex penses for individual stunts must not exceed $5.00 for props and costumes. In addition to the stunts, each class is responsible for the or ganization of a gallery in the auditorium. This gallery cheers and abets its representatives and harasses its rivals through the medium or yells, cheers, and songs. The class presenting the most impressive stunt and gallery is awarded a loving cup, one of the most prized of intra-mural recog nitions. Judges are residents of the community selected by the Recreation Council. In reaching a decision the judges consider the stunt and gallery on a 50-50 basis. Juniors-Frosh Plan Party Iva Jean Gordon and Sarah McNair, presidents of the junior and senior classes respectively, have announced a junior-fresh man party for Saturday night November 19. The classes and their guests will be entertained on the picnic grounds of the Sec- ond Presbyterian Church. Girls and their dates will assemble at Burwell Hall in time to leave at 8 p.m. Transportation will be pro vided. Committees from both classes have been appointed to plan a recreational program for the eve ning. Among the events arranged are square dancing, card games, and other amusements, The par ty will end at 11:50 p.m. in Bur well Hall. Class committees an ticipate a full turn-out for the frolic.

Faculty Takes Evening Off Queens College faculty mem bers will hold their annual au tumn frolic in the rec room Fri day night, November 18. Planned by the Faculty Contacts Commit tee, of which Miss Tighe is chair man, the program includes table games for the sedentary and square dancing for the peripatetic. There will also be intermission entertainment with a master of ceremonies, and refreshments. This particular get-together, to be characterized by a complete absence of scholarship and dig nity and by the wearing of ap propriate costumes, will empha size folk dances. This follows a training and educational period in which smaller groups of the faculty have received necessar^y instruction in the art of square dancing from members of - the staff of the Physical Education Department and during which they have increased their physi cal stamina to the point where they can get through more than one set. Committee members ex plained, however, that notwith standing the progress made in both knowledge and endurance it is anticipated that an increas ing number will resort to less strenuous forms of recreation as the evening progresses. Faculty square dances in the past have been marked by the practice of draping various lady members in red aprons or bibs to designate that they take mascu line parts in various figures. It is reported that on one occasion a male faculty member also wore one of these to avoid needless confusion in the Texas Star. The (Continued on Page Four) All Must Help Most boarding students are al ready aware that the Y store, cus tomarily opened from 10 to 10:30 at night by members of the Y Store Committee as a convenience to boarders, has been closed dur ing this evening period. It has been explained that the privilege had been removed because of the failure of customers to keep the store clean. Spokesmen stressed the fact that the members of the Store Committee receive no remunera tion for opening the store in the evening. It is strictly a voluntary gesture. The only return they ask is cooperation in “policing” the store. Student leaders regard it as unfortunate that the negli gence and thoughtlessness of a few should result in a curtail ment of this public service. Rachel Stevens, in charge of the Store Committee, makes two suggestions. The first is that stu dents not take empty bottles to the store at night to be exchang ed for cash or merchandise. The second is that students refrain from dropping paper and wrap pers on the floor and, if they use the booths, clean the tables and seats off before they leave. Representatives for the com mittee state their willingness to Long Live Sophs The many, modern massive buildings which will bespeak the arrival of the Greater Queens are to be erected. New cupids of the marvelous, million dollar, mis placed volumnes that You the students have purchased with your life’s blood will be be queathed to the library. Free dances with Guy Lombardo’s or chestra and Harvard imports will be sponsored every week, and tax will be taken off chocolate covered peanuts in the Y store. And do you question who the noble benefactor of such glorious advances might be? It’s no secret. Why else would the freshmen find themselves devoid of any claims to their precious nickles from home when they appear in public minus the adornment of the attractive head gear with which their guardian angels, the sophomores, have equipped them? Throughout this fall “Dick’s Devils” have proved themselves more than willing to snatch every evidence of financial re source from the guiless freshmen. Radiator fees and hymn book rentals were collected in South dormitory during orientation. Rat caps were paid for in large lumps of pure gold. And now there is this afore bemoaned steady drainage of nickels into the cof fers of the mighty sophomores. Thus it will be with a great deal of pride that the class of 1954 can soon point to the vast improve ment their money will bring on our campus, and say, “Through no fault of our own we did that! Long live the sophomores!!!” History resume and continue opening the store if customers cooperate. They cannot and will not keep the store open if a few individ uals fail to assume these routine responsibilities. CHARLOTTE, N. C.

Under his ad ministration new buildings were added, the endowment was great ly increased, and the College was admitted to membership in the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Another change came in the year 1930 when Chicora College was merged with Queens. The hyphenated name of Queens- Chicora was used for the College. Chicora College, also a Presby terian woman’s college had been located in Columbia, S. C. The fusion of the traditions of the two Colleges had become so complete by 1939 that the hy phenated name was dropped. Once again the institution be came known by its simple Eng lish title. Queens College, The last ten years have been years of progress and advancement. Under Dr. Hunter B. Blakely the dream of the early founders is rapidly becoming a reality, as Queens now represents high Christian ideals in education.
