QUEENS BLUES Page Four QUEENS BLUES February 19, 1^ DIANA’S DARTS - - “Exams are over They’re all through. Now I have Nothing to do. So I’ll dream Of spring and sun ’Cause it won’t be long ’Til the year is done!” This little verse seems to be the theme around Queens these days. I guess that it is a great relief to get through with those exams. You know, at exam time more than any other time, you can tell the dif ference between the various classes. Freshmen always have armloads of books on their way to the library. Sophomores run around wildly with an open book in their hands fran tically cramming in every last bit of knowledge. Juniors adopt a very knowing air and gaze condescend ingly at the underclassmen; while the Seniors with their bags-under- the-eyes and stooped shoulders just stagger by. But as torturous as exam week was, there were some good stories that came out of it. First I’d like to mention that custom of throw ing pennies in Diana. (Have you ever noticed that only the fresh men indulge in it? Could it be that all of the upperclassmen are broke, or that they’ve found out that it just doesn’t do any good?) I dont know where the custom started, but it was egged on this year by the social committee, by Betty Pratt in particular. You see, it was all an ugly scheme to fielp finance the dance. It seems that the social com mittee has been trying to think of ways to make money, and this seemed to be too good a chance to miss. Every night about twelve o’clock a couple of members of the committee came out and cleaned up the pool. Lisa D. was last seen struggling with one particularly big goldfish over an especially bright penny. And any limping or otherwise seriously injured gold fish were caused by Dot Guy. It Compliments of Charlotte Fish 6l Oyster Company GIRARD PERREGAUX CSariHalhi & ^rung 104 S. Tryon St. Phone 2-5822 seems that Dot just doesn’t like to argue, particularly with gold fish, so she just gave them a wicked right cross to the fin. Reports from the goldfish hospital say that she really packs a punch. Compulsory military training has already come in. At least all of the residents of North who stayed at Queens during the week-end after exams thought so. Sergeant Crowe stood at one end of the hall and had roll call each night at eleven. We would not suggest this pro cedure as a regular practice, but it certainly had its effect!!! Just ask those who know. Birdie and Ann are considering entering Mary Long in the next Kentucky Derby. She has broken all records for speed yet set in North every time a bell rings. Could it be that she thinks it’s John calling? Or does she think it’s a jail break? Those clouds over Burwell last week-end were nothing compared to the ones that Beth Dobbins was walking around on when her boy friend was down here. And have you heard about the block-long car he was driving? Just ask Beth, she’ll be glad to elaborate. In case there is anyone who hasn’t seen Lois’s ring, please do so AT ONCE. Just to satisfy my own curiosity, I’d like to know if Jackie Henley is trying to eat Davidson out of house and home—at the Kappa Sig house one night, then the Pi Kap house the next night. Speaking of Davidson, you can always tell when “Heck” Week (as we refer to it in the more polite circles) begins by the girls rushing madly through the dorms in mad searches. Three seniors finally found the objects of their search in the freshman dorm. The upper classmen are so uncooperative, or could they cooperate?) Have you seen Moppy’s new pic tures of THE TENT and Jim? Tis said that she supplies a magnifying glass with them for only a thin dime. Without the glass you can see THE TENT, but with the glass you can see JIM. No one had any more fun in the snow than all of the freshmen. Their main target seemed to be Birdie. Play . . .
