These had come from different parts of the kingdom: some of them wander- ing according to their own free will, others, in spite of their unwillingness, being sent away from home in search of a new environment. On close examination, these all represented different species of an undeveloped order of intelligence, but nevertheless gave promise of greater possibilities under proper environment. At first, these individuals, wandering from one classroom to another, were overwhelmed with home- sickness; but soon, in company with so many others, their tears were dried, and life seemed more hopeful. As they became more reconciled to their new surroundings, they began to desire broader development. This desire was met by memberships in various organizations—the athletic association furnished opportunity for physical exercises and growth; the literary societies stimulated their mental activities; and the Young Women’s Christian Association met their spiritual needs. In spite of the aid given them by these various organizations, life was by no means easy, for this new environment brought many dangers and difficulties. ''THE WAV TO BLISS LIES NOT ON BEDS OF DOWN’’ To some. Mathematics proved a deadly foe; others fell before the demands of Latin; while French proved an enemy that very few could overcome. For nine long months these struggles continued, each day seeing new battles fought, new victories won. Examinations proved the final test. Some, because of natural and inherited characteristics, and others because of acquired powers, were able to survive in this struggle for development. The survival of the fittest, however, left others less fortunate to follow as best they could. Thus, fewer in numbers, but stout in heart, they continued their struggle for existence. Aided by the Faculty, they progressed rapidly. So great was their development that there was need of more room and a change of surroundings, and so they were moved into a new home, called Queens College, in Myers Park. In this new home, surrounded by everything that would make the struggle easy, and success possible, they began a new history. New enemies, as well as new friends, were met in Miyers Park. Philosophy and Chemistry added to the difficulties of life. In the midst of this conflict, there came a day of waving palms and fragrant flowers, and the Annual Reception, with its crowds, brought joy to their hearts. This joy was deepened when, later on, the Davidson and Carolina Glee Club brought a taste of the outside world. As they had toiled and striven side by side during these weary months, so great had become their love for the Senior Order that they wished to express their affection in some unique way. As a result, the Junior-Senior Banquet was given, at the Selwyn Hotel. Thus, amid friend and foe, with some dark days and some brighter ones, they con- tinued to grow until the.r fame spread abroad. Attracted by this widening reputation, there came two new members to join their number. As a symbol of this Order’s attain- ments, each member was invested with the Senior insignia, and caps and gowns were seen on every hand. Strong though the Seniors were, yet their struggle was increased by an alliance at this time with the Sophomore order; and victories have crowned their efforts. Increasing development has made the struggle easier, and various attainments have brightened the dark places. The Shakespearian Festival, presented by this Order in connection with the other Orders, added to the renown of Queens College. Thus, as we see them successfully overcoming their foes, adapting themselves to their surroundings, acquiring characteristics of leadership and power, we hope for them that the end of life may still see in them the survival of the fittest. —w. c. 4 I r r NOTHING great or good can ever be accomplished without labor or toil ■T7 N the year of nineteen-thirty-six, In the shade of a stately tree, A large mass-meeting was being held. And the speaker was from Q. C. Her subject was entrancing Her oratory great, I or Ellen, the famous speaker. Now lectures early and late. She looks about the campus. And thinks of classmates dear Where are her merry comrades? Not one of them is here! 1 wenty years ago. Bill thought A teacher she would be; But, when women won their ri ghts. She said “ 1 hat’s the thing for me. So now she is on the ticket For Governor of her State, And that she’ll be elected Is just as sure as fate. Margaret had always declared That, after her education, She would settle down with just one man, Who owned a large plantation. But, fortunately, it could not be Just as she had it planned; So now she has gone as a missionary 1 o a far-off heathen land. Now who would think that Sarah, 1 he smallest little lass. Would become a famous lawyer And glorify her (lass? But now she shines in the courtroom, Just as she did in ( lass, When she never would be downed. But argued her point to the last. WAIT FOR MV STORY -THE BIRDS CANNOT SING IT NOT ONE AS HE SITS ON THE TREE----- ; All the girls used to say That Laura would never marry, But, after a few years of maiden life, She decided no longer to tarry. Away she went to the far-away North, Alone with a soldier man; And now they are facing life’s problems Together, as best they can. Elizabeth, as we might expect, H as made much use of her knowledge, And in a distant Western city H as founded a modern boys’ college. Elma has her heart’s desire— A multi-millionaire; She has motor cars and yachts galore. And a biplane for the air. And as for Frederica— Probably all of you know She is a great Latin scholar. And thinks of naught else below. And Kitty is now a skillful nurse, And cheerfully hands out pills; If e’er you feel bad, just go to her; She has remedies for all ills. Margaret, alias “the Boss,’’ For several years has concertized; Her Leschetizky-Ninnis style Has all her hearers hypnotized. As for myself—sad to relate— I am still alone, in a single state. —B. McL. THE BELLS CANNOT RING IT; BUT LONG YEARS, OH BRING IT. SUCH AS I WISH IT TO BE’’ Queens College M ecklenburg County Charlotte, N. C. EL, the members of the Senior Class of 1916, of the aforesaid college, city, county, and State, realizing the uncertainties of life and the vicissitudes of fortune; and being about to depart from the state of continual turmoil for regions unknown; and being of sound mind and body, do hereby make void all former wills by us, and do invoke the eternal curses of the gods on any who shall intercept the speedy and accurate and impartial execution of this our “Last Will and Testament.’’ SECTION I Article I. To the Class of 1917 we do give all the privileges which we have enjoyed during our last year of abode at Queens. May they make the best of these privileges, and, following in our foot- steps, never abuse them. So will they, as we have done, win the undying love(?) of all the Faculty. Article II. We do also give unto the Class of Seventeen the beautiful Senior study-hall, which we have used with such tender care; provided they will see to it that it is still kept spotless, in perfect order, and a dream to behold. ARTICLE III. To the aforesaid Class, we do will our perfect deportment upon all occasions, and our exceptional Senior dignity. ARTICLE IV. We do also give unto this Class our seats in Chapel, hoping that they will fill even more of them than we have done, and will always be especially attentive to the exercises held there. SECTION II Article I. To the Class of 1918, we do leave the studious habits of a Junior, together with the pleasurable anticipations of being a Senior. Article II. To our beloved sister Class, we leave our hearty thanks for all their help to us in Athletics; our best wishes for their success; and the hope that they will increase in number. But, let them always remember that it is quality more than quantity which counts. INTENT TO REASON OR R O L I T E TO PLEASE ' ' SECTION III ARTICLE I. To the Freshman Class is given the proud and lorldly traits so common to the Sophomore. May they stand by the rising Senior Class as our sisters have stood by us. SECTION IV Article I. To the class yet unborn, the Class of nineteen hundred and twenty, we bequeath four years of college life, with all its trials and pleasures, its joys and tribulations. Article II. To this embryonic class we do give company with some of the best girls in existence. ARTICLE III. We do also give unto the Class of nineteen hundred and twenty, the traditions and records of this College, to be kept and hallowed throughout the existence of the said Class at this College. ARTICLE IV. To the aforesaid class we do bequeath our colors—old gold and blue; our motto; and our flowers. SECTION V ARTICLE I. To our dearly beloved dean, Miss Young, we give our most sincere thanks for the wise and motherly care which she has so generously bestowed on us. May all classes to come give her less (certainly no more) trouble than we have given her. SECTION VI Article I. To Doctor Bridges, we do will every Ethics book used by the Class of Sixteen; and we do hope the dear Doctor will, on some rough night, thrust the aforesaid books into the furnace, and that the heat therefrom will warm his heart toward the Class of Sixteen and the future students of Ethics, so that he will be unable to flunk anyone who carries upon her shoulders such a weight as Ethics. SECTION VII Article I. To the future students of modern languages, we do willingly bequeath all of our books concerning these subjects, together with certain invaluable aid throughout the aforementioned books. ARTICLE II. We leave our privilege of free access to the lectures on international relations and diplomacy, on neutrality, and other deep subjects, to all future foreign language students, hoping that they may enjoy and profit by them as much as we have. SECTION VIII Article I. To all future editors of the Annual, we most joyfully leave our nerves, bones, and brains shattered in compiling such a book, together with the abuse, curses, indignations, threats, and such other miscellaneous equipment that has been hurled at the aforementioned editors during the year. U S E — D O NOT ABUSE SECTION IX ARTICLE I. To the future boarders, we do gladly bequeath all stains on the floors, tackholes in the walls, broken wires on the window seats, scratched and generally abused furniture, worn-out brooms and dustpans, and abandoned room-mates, as souvenirs of the Class of Sixteen—that the memory of us may always be fresh in their minds. SECTION X ARTICLE I. We do will all of our superfluous flesh, to be distributed among the students, as seems most fitting, by Elizabeth Rankin and Ellen Finley. SECTION XI Article I. To the Facu l.y , we do will all of our red and blue pencils, with the hope that they will use them on the papers of future students much more sparingly than they have on ours; for we do greatly fear that these mementos will be of short duration. SECTION XII ARTICLE I. Laura Gillon leaves her height to Mabel Dabbs. SECTION XIII ARTICLE I. Sarah Hawkins does will her volubility, to be distributed equally between Elsie Johnson and Co rinna Johnston. SECTION XIV ARTICLE I. Caroline Constable leaves her good times at Davidson to Mary Louise Crowell. SECTION XV ARTICLE I. In conclusion, as we are about to depart from these hallowed precincts for parts un- known, and leave behind us many friends, we hope that some day we may return, and find the glad hand awaiting us.

The Skating Tournament was the first inter-class athletic event. The Sophomores and Seniors were represented by Daisy Belk, Lucy Vance Darlington, Corinna Finley, Willie Choate, and Elizabeth Alford. Later, the Tennis Tournament took place. Corinna Finley and Dorothy Knox, both Sophomores, were the successful contestants. In Basket-Ball, the Sophs and Seniors have been successful so far; but, since the finals have not yet been played, we cannot announce a complete victory for the “Yellow.” SCORES Senior-Soph.

I was running for the ca; as hard as I could, and he just deliber- ately went off and left me. And I’m sure he saw me. S.: What a shame! Let me tell you something wonderful!

Sarah and Kitty: No, we don’t. “MUCH STUDY IS A WEARINESS TO THE FLESH” Ellen: Well, anyway. I’ve got to study, now. (A short period of silence, broken only by the creating of the rocking chair and by the sound of Sarah's studying out loud.) Ellen: Sarah, I wish you would hush. (Abruptly) Sarah, do you understand the thiestic evolution? Please explain. Don t you want her to explain it, Kitty ? KlTTY: O, yes! Do explain it. Frederica, let s turn back to that place, and listen to it. Go on. Sarah: Yes, I think I understand it. It means just this. The evolutionists believe that man was grad- ually evolved by the mere action of mechanical forces; and he says that it is very important to understand this point he’s talking about, because men’s minds are so concerned with the evolutionary genesis of man—and the evolutionary genesis of man is what I have just explained. Don t you see ? H e means this, etc., etc. Ellen: Kitty, do you understand that? I don’t. Where did you find all that? I don’t see it like that in this paragraph. Frederica, do you understand it? What does the “evolutionary genesis of man’’ mean? Explain all that again. Your explanation is not at all like the book. Sarah: Well, I’ve told you as plain as I can. He says that these proofs we’ve been studying are entirely independent of the origin; and the “evolutionary genesis of man” means that the gene:is of man was evolutionary. See? Ellen: I know just as much now as I did before. Where did you find all that? (A fynocl? at the door. Enter Elizabeth.) Elizabeth: Frederica, did he call on you and Elma yesterday? Frederica: No; and he hasn’t called on Margaret yet. Elizabeth: I’m afraid he’ll get to me today. Do “you all’’ understand it? (Exit.) Ellen (looking at her xvalch) : It’s time for the bell, and I haven’t been over my lesson. I know he’ll call on me. Sarah: I’ve got to my Latin. (Exit.) (Bell rings, and all go out.) 41 SCENE II FIRST MEETING OF THE STAFF Editor-IN-Chief (in chapel) : There will be a very important meeting of the annual staff today, at 3.10, in Laura’s room. PI ease, all of you, come. (Later, outside the chapel.) Ellen: Sarah, I’m not going to come to that meeting this afternoon, because I can’t stay that late. You see, I get out at 12.23. (In Laura's room. Enter Laura, Elizabeth, Kitty, and Sarah.) Sarah: Girls, we’ve just got to get to work on this Year Book. We’ve done positively nothing. KlTTY: Sarah, I want to catch that car. Can I go? There’s nothing I can do, is there? Sarah: All right; you’ll just about make it. (Exit Kitty.) Laura: Sarah, is there anything special you wanted to decide today? I’ve got to go to walk; so let’s finish as soon as we can. Sarah: No, I don’t remember what I wanted to ask. I’ve made a list of what we would want to put in it at home. Elizabeth: I move the meeting adjourn. (Enter Willie.) Willie: I' m so sorry I’m late, but I rea Hy couldn’t get here earlier. Laura, let’s go to walk. Sarah : Since the motion that we adjourn is unanimous, the meeting is adjourned. Is it time the car? (All go out.) SCENE III LA CLASSE FRANCHISE (Enter Miss Landers.) M ISS L.: Bon jour.

Miss L.: M ais, oui; alors, continuez. WlLLIE: II vent prendre la cite de Paris et il makait un siege devant Paris et—et— Miss L.: Quel Francais! Quel Francais! Mademoiselle Stagg, racontez cette histoire. Ella: II ne reussit pas dans cette siege. Son peuple 1’aime beaucoup leurs longues discours l’ennueient et un jour il dit a un de ses courtiers que ses chevaux commenceut a blanchir— M ISS L.: Mademoiselle Stagg, votre pronunciation est quelque chase terrible! Vous dite, que ses chevaux commencent a blanchir. Ce n est pas possible. Un cheval ne peut pas blanchir quel est ce quelle vent dire? Class? Class: FJle vent dire— (Bell rings.

We always wear our hats. 41 'b 41 WlLLIE: Paul was let out of prison on payroll (parole). 4 4? 4? Miss L.: Poor old Bulgaria is begging for peace. K.: Who is Bulgaria? Miss L.: Why, it is a country. K. : Oh! 4? 4? 4 Miss Y.: The Pi Delta (or is it Pierian?) Society and the Gamma Sigma Society will have a joint social meeting in their respective halls. 4? 4? 4? KlTTY (studying Bible): Who was Tarsus? 4 4 4? Bess (noticing some dust on the bed): Oh, somebody got in this bed with their feet on! Old Girl: In what class will you be? New Girl: I think the refreshment class. 4? 4 4 A Pupil IN English: He swallowed an anecdote, and immediately went sound asleep. 4r 4 4? Dr. Bridges: Lucy Vance, what is the difference between the subject matter of the Epistle to the Phihppians and that of the others? L. V.: I don’t know, exactly; but somehow it seems not to have any narrative. It’s more like a ser- mon, and hasn’t any connection. 4 4 4 Bess (excitedly) : It would simply kill me to die before Saturday night. 4 4 4 Miss L. (after frightening her pupil nearly to death by her stern countenance) : Now, Mademoiselle, if you don’t pay attention. I’ll lose patience with you soon. ej fji ej Eli.EN: Did Wilson get the majority of electrical votes? fjn fjl fji Flora (picking up a cut-glass bowl): What are you doing with an embroidered bowl? A LOUD J l LAUGH BESPOKE THE VACANT MIND College Girl: Have you the “Letters of Jane Welsh Carlyle?” Clerk (in bookstore) : No, Miss Carlyle, the postoffice is on West Trade Street. 4 4? 4 Dr. Bridges: Wh o were the children of Israel, and why were they called that? Some: I don’t know. OTHERS: They were called so from the land they lived in. Miss C.: I could have spelled every word given out in that spelling match. Now, Isabel, I was so afraid that you were going to mis-spell chrysoprase. The word itself was not very familiar to me, yet I could easily have spelled it because chrys is always spelled c-h-r-y-s and prase is always spelled p-r-a-i-s-e. 4 4? 4 Mary (relating in French the story of a Very exciting proposal): Et elle demande qu’il se Marie avec elle. fji rji 1 HE Chemistry Class was discussing salt mines, and Corinna, turning to Marion, asked, “Marion, do they have sugar mines?” “No.” “Well, where do they get sugar, then? 4 4 4 Dr. Bridges: Willie, what did Peter say to Ananias and Sapphira, when they sold their property, and did not give all the money? WlLLlE: Verily, verily, thou hast told a lie. 4 4? 4 The Economics Class was discussing if the spirit of the modern monopolists is better than that of the monopolists of Elizabeth’s time. Marion: Well, I think the spirit is better, because in Elizabeth’s lime they even stole the right to monopolize, and sometimes killed to get one. ELIZABETH : O, that was only a joke. 4 4 4 Dr. Bridges: Did you ever see a bird teaching a young bird to make a nest? Ellen: O yes, sir. Dr. Bridges: Well, you have seen more than anyone else. ej ej e-J Margaret (telling the story of a poem) : Caedmon, when dying, called for the Eucharist, and he walked in, and said, “Look here, you are not fixing to die?” 4 4 4 laura's business proposition Laura: Say, Elizabeth; I owe you a nickel. Let’s go to the store and spend it, and then we will be even. “’TIS REMARKABLE THAT THEY TALK MOST WHO HAVE LEAST TO SA Y” Miss N.: Show how the different agents work together to erode the earth? Pupil: Oh, the rain causes the sunshine, etc. fji rji Pupil: England, France, Germany, and Russia are already in the war; and the first thing you know Europe will be in it, too. 4? 4? 4 Laura: Oh, 1 wish I could think about the man I am thinking about! 4? 4? 4?

Mary McLean (listening to Laura's playing) : Don’t play so loud, Laura. Laura: It’s marked ‘ forte.” Mary: Well, play it about thirty-five. fsj rjn Flora Alford: Has anyone seen ‘‘Guy Maunering” lately? Mary: Is he one of the Horner boys? fji Something heard at the good-night prayer meeting: “Forgive us for our many sins; and help us to think of others.” 4 4 4 Corinna: Sure had some swell limes last summer; we had a dandy German club. ANOTHER Girl: Oh, is that why you took German last year? W Miss L. (in Latin): Margaret, what is a secant? Margaret: I don’t know. I’ve finished Geometry. 4 4? 4?

Girls (laughing) : Not “mouses.” That ought to go in the Annual. Margaret: Well, I don’t see what you’re laughing at. If it did go in the Annual, no one would see the point. “WITH JUST ENOUGH LEARNING T O MISQUOTE” rear Book Staff Sarah Hawkins .... Ellen Brice ...... Willie Choate .... Elizabeth Alford .
