Just being in college is grand. Mary Jo Rierson: The Boar’s Head Dinner, the caroling in Belk Chapel, the servant’s Christmas tree were to me the highlights of the first part of the freshman year. Susan Buskirk: One of the highlights of the first semes ter of my freshman year is the Sunday night feed at the Hut where the teachers and students learn to know each other better and have many good times together. Carol Heer: The highlight of the first part of my fresh man year at Queens was when I realized I had made the sorority of my choice. It was then that I felt that I was really a part of college life. Louise Harvin: To me the highlight of the first part of my freshman year was the friendly Christian atmosphere on the campus. Margaret McLeod: Of course there were many high lights, but the one that stands out most in my mind was the Christmas dance. Caroline Upshur: The grandest thing of all is to know that when the approved list goes up, there will be no more rushing around, furiously and hopelessly looking for a chaperone. (I hope.) Barbara Carr: The highlight of my first semester at Queens was the Davidson Homecoming weekend. It was then that I realized that much fun, confusion, and trouble could be had by all. Anne, Kitty, Mary: Our early confinement! Doris Searcy: The highlight of my freshman year at Queens was seeing Marshall Thompson, the first movie star I have ever seen. WITH THE GREEKS Alpha Delta Pi Following the meeting on Thurs day February 8th., the A. D. Pi’s had a kitchen shower for the house. Each member took a gift. Some of the presents included were: pots, pans, a new garbage can, a waste basket, and other odd kitchen gadgets. Spring cleaning will follow the kitchen repairs so that the chapter will have its house shining for the Alumnae tea in February. The A. D. Pi’s are planning a tea for the Charlotte Alumnae Chapter in order that the actives and pledges may get better acquainted with their alumnae sisters. Alpha Gamma Delta The Alpha Gamms are watching with pleasure the redecorating and repairing nearing completion on the little White house at the end of sorority row. The outside trim in dark brown against the snow white stucco has been completed. Arrangements have been made for the annual “Feast of Roses,” the initiation banquet, at Kusters. Plans are taking final shape for a big party for actives, pledges and their dates at Camp Hermon. The Alumus are also making plans for a party to get better acquainted with the pledges. Friday night “get- togethers” are keeping the Alpha Gamms busy. Chi Omega The Chi O’s are enjoying Fri day night feeds every Friday. The initiation banquet is to be held at Rozzelle’s Ferry. Kappa Delta The Kappa Deltas announce that plans are made for their initiation banquet at the El Morocco. All the Kappa Deltas are proud of the good grades of their pledges. Phi Mu The Phi Mu’s are well on their way with plans for their initiation banquet and formal dance at the Selwyn Hotel March 17th. Their guests will be the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity from Davidson College. The beautiful new kitchen cabi nets in the Phi Mu kitchen are the gift of Pete Thomas. The kitchen is undergoing other improvements including the new linoleum for the floor. Semi-Classic Music Shown Favorite In Poll By interviewing a rather small but also seemingly typical sample of four groups of people including (1) high school senior girls, (2) college freshman girls, (3) college senior girls, (4) faculty women, it was found that there is a rather marked difference in the types of radio programs preferred by each group level. The method of detei'mining the likes and dislikes of each individual in the different groups used was that of asking her to rate accord ing to preference a list of fifteen well-known types of radio pro grams which were as follows: (1) Classical Music, (2) Semi-classical Music, (3) Popular Music, (4) Hillbilly Music, (5) Adventure Stories, (6) Comedy Programs, (7) Drama Programs, (8) Mystery Programs, (9) Serial Programs, (10) Quiz Programs, (11) In formative Programs, (12) Reli gious Broadcasts, (13) Women’s Programs, (14) Sports Broadcasts, (15) News Broadcasts. The first choice of the high school senior girls was dramatic programs such as Lux Theater or Silver Screen. Their second choice was Popular Music, and their third through sixth choices were Semi- classical Music, Comedy, Mystery Programs, and News Broadcasts, respectively. The first choice of the college freshmen was Popular Music, then Semi-classical Music, Drama, Com edy Programs, Mystery Programs, and Classical Music in order of preference. The College Seniors preferred Semi-Classical Music. Then, as their second through sixth choices were Drama, Popular Music, Classical Music, News Broadcasts, and Mystery Programs, respective ly. First on the preferred list for the faculty was Classical Music, with News Broadcasts, Semi-classical Music, Popular Music, Drama, and Informative Programs following in order. As a whole. Semi-classical Music was generally liked best, followed in order by Popular Music, Drama, Classical Music, News Broadcasts, Comedy Programs, Mystery Pro grams, Sports Broadcasts, In formative Programs, Religious Broadcasts, Quiz Programs, Adven ture Stories, Women’s Programs, Serial Programs, and Hillbilly Music. In general, the first six programs as listed above were liked. The seventh choice, however, Mystery Programs, was split; the faculty doesn’t care for Mystery Programs at all 1 The eighth to the fifteenth choices were generally disliked by all groups, Hilbilly Music topping the list of the most unlikely to succeed, closely follow ed by Serial Programs, Women’s Programs, Adventure Stories, and Quiz Programs. CHAPEL . .. ... SCHEDULE Feb. 13 Feb. 16 Feb. 20 Feb. 22. Miss Tarleton ..Mr. Charles Bowles Cornelia Dick Dr. Broach Feb. 26- ..—-—pr. Kellersberg-ei' Ho ? Co To Every day we hear such remarks as, “Our class has absolutely no spirit,” or, “Why don’t we have any class spid^ here at Queens?” Whether uttered by a junior, senior, sophoj more, or freshman, it seems to make no difference; for have been heard to say this. There is surely a basis for tha^ remarks, but what is it? The principle reason for such attitudes undoubtedly w’ithin each individual member of each class; so perhaps should ask ourselves whether we are a contributor to cla?® spirit. The best way to find this out is to ask ourselves certai^^ questions: 1. Do I attend all class meetings? These meetings are ^ each of us. It is the time when plans are formed and decision® made. 2. Do I pay my class dues? 3. Do I particiapte in class elections? 4. Am I enthusiastic? 5. Do I support my sister-class by active support of their activities? 6. Do I attempt to contribute my part toward class spir^^ ^ ^ ^ ^ r VV./ V/V**V*. V4 V/W 111 Jr W C*»X (j by joining in with others to sing class songs, school songs, 7. Am I willing to accept a responsibility when callof upon? The next time you hear someone say that spirit Queens is almost nil, stop and ask them the above question® . . . and above all let’s not forget to take inventory ourselves. % Peace-Ut ol QUa/:^ T1 Diajc have some >n h( seni( inov( ^rac ''hre( ^eal file ^ortl tile Jenli fan •"ea late If lor Hou aom and t*0ss four ''our thei l^ic Now when many of our loved ones are facing the nti>® difficult crises of their lives, many of us are finding solac® and peace here on our own campus. We find this in Chapel each day just after our evening meal. There we enter to pray for peace in a troubled world. As hymns softly played on the chapel organ during this twilight houF- we feel close to God and realize that He is near unto ii®' These few moments spent with our Heavenly Father a source of refreshment for facing anew our daily taskS' as well as bringing to us the realization that in Him we havc our only true source of world peace. k.
