FOOD FOR THOUGHT BY MANON The following information is not primarily directed to those of our Queens family who have acquired pins, diamonds, husbands, or all three. It might be well, however, that even those who fall in the same category as Martha If* you’re-in-Arizona” Harrison and Jane “I-know-a-good-thing-when-I- see-it” Blakely, take heed to the astounding knowledge contained herein, as well as those who occupy the same status as Betty Lynn Deep-in-the-heart-of-Texas” Horn. It is assumed, however, that the aforementioned students have the situation well enough in hand so that the startling news will be of bo consequence if the “important” ones should happen to read it or Somehow otherwise gain access to it. It is mainly to the ringless and pinless ones that this is written, bnd it is recommended, if they do bot wish to remain always ringless or pinless, that they read this and bpply themselves most diligently to fhe refutation of these words, or else withhold the information from (•hose whom it may concern. It has come to the attention of the BLUES that there is in ex istence at this very moment an or ganization destined to thwart our lifelong ambitions of acquiring hus bands. We must remember that this is the desire of every normal girl. It is the sole purpose of a college education. It is the only worth while career in existence—and the hardest. BUT—because of this or ganization, the field of Matrimo- nology may have to be abandoned. In which case, we may as well take up mathematics. Information has been withheld long enough. The name of this organization—and its function can be readily assumed is the BACHELORS’ PROTEC TIVE ASSOCIATION. Confiscated from one James White, who (we believe) has no use for this fraternal association, but who we feared would let it fall into the hands of his bachelor friends, and now in possession of the BLUES, is a letter which reads: ‘Attention Bachelors. There are more than nineteen million unmar ried women in this country, and every last one of them is out to capture a husband. Bachelors are outnumbered and must organize for mutual protection. The need for this protection is growing by the minute. WOMEN ARE GET TING DESPERATE. Do you know that women spent fifty-eight mil lion dollars for perfume last year? Nobody knows how much they spent for lipstick, rouge, eyebrow pencils, girdles and other mislead ing items, but we can be sure that the amount is astronomical. Fine Arts Weekend brought to our campus three very interesting concerts, the first of which was given Friday night. May 4, by Miss Gwenda Ewell, soprano, and Miss June Faulk, pianist. The program was as follows: Beneath the Cypress’ Gloomy Shade, from “Susanna”—Handel Un bel di, vedremo, from “Mad ame Butterfly” Puccinni Gwenda Ewell, Soprano Beatrice Richardson, accompanist Largo—Allegro from Sonata Op. 31, No. 2 Beethoven June Faulk, pianist In Love My Savior Now Is Dy ing, from “St. Matthew Passion” Bach Miss Ewell Intermezzo, Op. 119, No. 1— Capriccio, Op. 76, No. 1— Rhapsodic, Op. 79, No. 1—Brahms Miss Faulk Auf geheimen Waldespfade— Griff es Ilpleuredans mon couer— o6-— II pleuredans mon coeux*—Debussy Pastorale Igor Stravinsky Miss Ewell Nightfall Griffes Corcovado— Sumare from “Saudades de Brazil” Darius Milhaud Miss Faulk Miss Ewell has a i*ich, full quali ty in the middle register that was Queens went all out for art dur ing the Fine Arts Festival on May 4 and 5. The Fine Arts classes had vai’ious ci'eative effoi'ts I’anging from original musical compositions to sculpture. The Art Education class, taught by Mrs. John Walton, produced three dimensional art in different media with papier mache predominating. The following stu dents exhibited craft work: Ann Bailey, Elise Davenport, Geor- gianna Gettinger, Martha Holle- man, Ann Hunter, Betty Jean Mc- Cutcheon, Jean Moorefield, Doris Pons, Mary Ann Rice, Edith Shep ard, Lois Strong, Bettie Stegall, Shirley Siddall, Mary Ruth Tal bert, and Dorothy Watson. One of the most interesting phenomena of the art exhibit was the work of non-majors: Barbara McAllister, with her interesting horse pictures and portraits and Emily Shipp, with her graceful women. One of the outstanding plans from the Interior Decoration class was that of Barbara Spring- field, entitled “Make Mine Function al.” This was plans for the home of fun-loving moderns and serious minded intellectuals who prefer to decorate only the minimum amount of time to the upkeep of the home and to have more leisure time for social intei'ests. Peggy McNeely is particularly Davidson Group Initiates Queens Charter Members (Continued On Page Three) (Continued On Page Three) On Friday, May 1, in the north parlor of Burwell Hall, the installation of the Queens chapter of Sigma Upsilon, national literary fraternity, took place. Officers and members of the Blue Pencil chap ter of the fraternity at Davidson College installed the Queens Cakes and Ale chapter. Don Shriver, pres ident of the Davidson group, and Irving Stubbs, vice-president, were the installing officers; also present from the brother chapter were David Hamilton, Stuart Shippey, Dudley Pendleton, Dr. W. R. Cum- ming, and Dr. Chalmers Davidson. Others attending the initiation cere mony were two members of Sigma Upsilon, Drs. J. Wilson McCutchan and J. W. Walton. After the intia- tion, which took place at 5:30 the entire group were guests in the Queens dining room. John A. Hol liday, chairman of the Fine Arts Festival, was guest of the group for dinner. Following the meal the group adjourned to the Hut for a reading session which continued until 11:30 when refreshments were sei'ved. At this meeting Louise White presented a brief history of the Cakes and Ale chapter, and several members read some of their literary endeavors. Irving Stubbs pi-esented his satii’ical work ‘ The Schizophrenic Look”, which was (Continued On Page Four) (Continued On Page Three)
