Ii U Ld I By the blending of art and story the staff has attempted to reflect in this volume of The Edelweiss (Adel-vis) our life at Queens during the year. We have used the theme Queens in combination with royalty to depict student life on the campus. May we students at Queens, through the love of those within our realm, learn to know and appreciate those without our realm, and always hold high our heritage of royalty. THE STAFF U r nmn rrn iixliitiitititiii n i u-Lmriirx i innrrm always has the interest of our Alma Mater uppermost in her heart, and whose counsel and unselfishness aids many a stu- dent, the staff wishing to ac- knowledge the gratitude of the students, affectionately dedicates this volume of The 1930 Edelweiss To Our Librarian £Miss Rena Harrell mumriTi nmium Faculty, 1929-’30 William H.

Was there ever life so careless As each hour proved to be In those golden days of college, Young and happy, sweet and free? Ah! We came so young and eager, Each with outstretched, empty hand, Hopeful in our quest for knowledge, Each with mind to understand. And we planted seeds of knowledge While those golden hours grew Into years of fruitful harvest When we gathered what we grew. Now the harvest time is plenteous And its fruits are richer far Than the knowledge gained in classroom And pursuit of studies are. For we built a wealthy storehouse And ’twas rich in love and good While we sought to help each other In a band of sisterhood. Ah! The lessons all were helpful. Both in books and human needs, And we blossomed in their richness And we grew in helpful deeds. Did you say tis time for parting? No! We really do not part, For each dear and treasured mem'ry We will carry in our heart. And though years may pass in flcctness And though distant we may be, Back with Queens, our Alma Mater. We will live again with thee. —Mary Blankenship. Page Tiuenty-five Virginia Alderson A.B. Keeling. Va. I B X. K 0. II A President Phi Beta Chi.

Virginia is one of the most capable girls we have. She can do most any- thing she tries and she’s always willing to help a friend in need. You can al- ways depend on her to do all she’s sup- posed to and often a little bit more. It’s a mystery how one girl can suffer as many labs as Virginia has and still make the honor roll.

She has a magnetic charm that draws us to her. We tell her of our joys and sorrows because she is one of the most understanding of people. Mary is thorough in all that she undertakes.

If you want to enjoy a good laugh talk to Gladys every once in a while. She it is who can always say the thing which sounds humorous to us. al- though she may be quite serious at the time. If you ever want to know any- thing about frogs or crayfish or such, ask Gladys. She’ll know. And if you want to find a member of this class next year who has succeeded, then you may look up Gladys’ address. She will always be a success. Agnes Marion Bingham a.b. Hickory, n. c.

Mary is a rather quiet girl; she doesn’t talk so very much, but every word counts. Dependable, willing and capable we always know that we can expect the best from Mary. We like her sunny disposition and it's very sel- dom that we find her without a smile. Great things can be predicted of Mary in the years to come. Her special contri- bution to the class this year is the class poem. Ann Johnstone Brand B.S. II Staunton, Va. x n, a k r, r x President of Class.

We never see Ann unless we see her smiling. We often wonder if she ever gets blue. The fact that she has been president of her class throughout the four years testifies not only to her un- usual executive ability, but also to the love and esteem in which her classmates have always held her.

Daphne came to us two years ago from Peace, where her honors were many. She brought with her power of leadership and a sterling personality. Her earnest endeavor to seek for the highest has been an inspiration to us all. Daphne has a keen sense of humor and an understanding heart, and the gift to love and be loved by all.

Far may we search before we find a heart so gentle and so kind. “Cally” is just our old faithful “Cal- ly, always the same. She's another of those chemically-minded students who can converse along scientific lines with ease. Biology, physics, and the rest have no horror for her. Next year we know she'll make a fine teacher somewhere unless she changes her mind about her occupation. Wherever she is, she will always carry with her the best wishes of her classmates. Mary Denny Hall A.B. Belmont, N. C. K A Advertising Manager EDELWEISS, ’30; Ger- man Club. ’26. A charm attends her everywhere. “Dee,” so animated, so vivacious, so vividly alive will laugh joyously at our being poetic. But we believe that she once had a fairy godmother and when she was a tiny baby this fairy god- mother named her Mary, suitably be- cause she was to become a thoughtful, charming, studious young woman. T hen she gave this godchild a second name, “Dee,” and added to her many charms mischievous, teasing, roguish characteristics. A girl whom we all love. We shall miss you, “Dee.” Page Thirty-one Josephine Hall b.s. II Raeford, n. c. II A Member Glee Club. Librarian; Home Eco- nomics Club. President. '30; Vice-President Q. S. C.

However, she spends a great part of her day with us, on classes or practicing. It’s always a great pleasure to hear her sing and we’re sorry we don't get to enjoy that more often. Polly Huntley b.s. u Charlotte, N. C. Home Economics Club; Dark Blue Basket- ball and Baseball Teams. A smile for all, a greeting glad. An amiable, jolly way she had. Polly has only lived with us on the campus during her six weeks of practice house work, but we learned to know and love her then. What would the Seniors have done without Polly during the inter-class basketball games? She is studious, dependable, friendly and domestic. Page Thirty-three Cl E mm IE Jamieson b s. II Clinton. S.

If you are looking for a true friend and a jolly companion you will find them in Clemmic. Her cheerful expres- sion is one of her main assets, and her dependability makes her successful in whatever she connects herself with. No wonder that she is deeply loved by all who know her.

Sarah is our most talented member, and she certainly lives up to her name. We’re always glad when she sings for us for she has a lovely voice. She's also one of the best students here, and when it comes to Bible courses she’s had them all. Where is a history question that she couldn't answer? Sarah well de- serves her reputation, because we are sure that anything she undertakes will be a success. Our best wishes go with you, Sarah.

In some girls we find deep interest and lasting friendship, in others we find strength and encouragement, in Eliza- beth we find both. She is somewhat a dreamer and takes life more seriously than most; in return life gives her a wonderful gift: the power to under- stand nature, music, books, and people. Jean Hardin Marion a.b.

Of softest manner, unaffected kindj Lover of peace, and friend of all mankind.'' There is only one word in Webster’s dictionary that completely describes Jean, this word is genuine. She is genuine in her sympathy and under- standing of others. Jean is one of the most lovable of girls and the years of college life have endeared her to our hearts. Jean has been one of the most active girls on the campus, and the many offices showered upon her prove that her friends trust in her ability. Cornelia McLauchlin A.B. Lillington. N. C.

If she will. she will, you may depend on't, But if she won't, she won’t, and that's the end on t. One who extracts from the world something beautiful in every thing and with a magic wand of words gives hack to the world beauty. One who thinks deeply, one who laughs easily, one who is dainty, fragile, and genuine; lovable, unselfish, and dear. A tiny person with big thoughts, this is Connie. May McLean A.B. Gastonia. N. C.

W. and has been with us ever since. She's rather quiet, but then still water runs deep. She’s interested in biological, physiological, and zoological subjects, but she doesn't believe in evolution. You can often see her walking over the campus hunting for flowers to press in taxamony or sticking some one’s ear lor a blood count in laboratory technique. May’s just May and she will always live in our thoughts of Queens. Page Thirty-six Fern Lizette Norman A.B. Charlotte, N. C. K 0, l 13 X Dark Blue Team: Marshal, '17, '28, '29. My mind is my kingdom. Fern is a girl to whom we yield our love and greatest admiration. Diligence has characterized her work since we first knew her, and the success which she has enjoyed is a just reward. Her happy nature is inspiring and altogether wonderful. We may safely say that she is a most deserving person. Few people accomplish more than Fern. Just as ‘smooth water runs deep”—so this classmate of ours has many, many, abilities and desired qualities. Cornelia Nixon a.b. Charlotte, N. C. a r a May Day Attendant. '30. “Around her shone a nameless charm. Unmarked by her alone. A girl whose care-free nonchalance covers deeper things. To those who know her not so well, Cornelia is a good sport and a jolly pal, but to those who know her as a true friend, she is interested in the deeper things of life. She takes with her from the school- room new thoughts; she does not drop them in the hall but takes them on to dream over, to ponder over, and at last to form her own unchangeable opinion. In time of trouble, Cornelia is always ready to lend a helping hand; in time of joy, ready to laugh. Illusive? Per- haps, but delightfully so. Page Thirty-seven Caroline Heiskell Parks a.b. Charlotte. N. C. K O. T T A President Upsilon Tau Delta, 30. The maiden lo ivhom her ivorh iras all in all. Caroline is one of our stand-bys, the same always. She's always ready to give you a smile or a helping hand. She’s quiet and reserved and very cap- able. She's the kind of a friend that everybody is proud to have, due to her pleasing personality and high ideals. Next year when she’s working at the library she’ll meet all requirements ol a well-rounded education. Martha Douglas Pegram b.s. II Hamlet, N. C. «1« M.

C. r “Her air so modest, her aspect so meek. Yet so sweet are her charms. A sturdy friend we all have found in Lib.” She achieves wonders in her quiet, attractive way. A slight curl on the side of her mouth or a quick glance from her eye reveals her keen enjoy- ment of humor, which might not be noticed until she is well known. Lib is full of sterling qualities, which are uncovered by friendship. Her quiet, unassuming manner lends a refinement and a quality seldom surpassed. Katharine McLauchlin Rogers B.S. II Griffin, Ga.

Her sympathetic understanding of her as- sociates is an art well developed.

Her ceaseless energy is thrown as whole- heartedly into her work as it is into her play, with success in both as the result. Katherine's is a valuable personality, due to her abilities and qualities.

Page Forty-three History of the Class of 1930 BOOK ONE Chapter I September 8, being the regular day of registration, we, the Freshmen of 1927. began at dawning to arrive from all parts of the country. Some came by way of the train in care of a fatherly conductor, others on the bus intrusted to some kind friend who happened to he travelling that way at that time, while still others came escorted by loving parents. Then the sad moment when friends, conductors and families, having turned aforesaid charges over to some cheerful upperclassman, left us to our sorrow. With heavy hearts and ready tears we stood alone and dejected, while others around us joyfully welcomed old friends. At last, finding other Freshmen in our same state and remembering that misery loves company, we wept together and felt better. Chapter II Just when we were about to be overcome by homesickness, we were rescued from the pool of tears in which we sat and taken to a reception given in our honor. This having proven quite beneficial a tacky party' was given in which we featured as children and our big sisters as our mothers. A few days later the hearts of our sister class, the Juniors, were soltened by our pitiable countenances. They expressed this by a party for us. Chapter III These entertainments serving to increase the good opinion we had of ourselves, we decided to elect leaders to direct our future social activities. Ann Brand as President. Mary Cromarlie as Vice-President. Evelyn Erwin as Secretary, and Craig Pegram as Treasurer, constituted our choice. Chapter IV Such happiness could not last. Our friends, the Sophomores, deciding that we had been babied long enough, and believing (oh. how enormously!) that we were too conceited, resolved, as they said, to put us in our place. In other words, we were introduced to that period of cruelty known as Freshman Week. Strange to say, we survived—even the horrors of Rat Court. Chapter V Evidently our forgiving natures impressed our superiors, for we were again subjected to torture chambers during literary society initiations. We so thoroughly heaped coals of lire upon their heads by our good sportsmanship, that they repented and fed us ice cream and cake. I he Sophomores, also wearying of their sport, freed us by furnishing a bonfire in which our caps were burned. Chapter VI At last we had our revenge by completely and overwhelmingly defeating our enemies, the Sophomores, in a snow-fight. In contrast, we showed our love and appreciation for our sister class, the Juniors, by giving a breakfast in their honor. BOOK TWO Chapter I We returned to the scene of activity after a few months of rest. Many dropped out but others came in to fill their places. Ann Brand was reelected President, with Katharine Rogers. Vice-President. Sally Holman. Secretary, and Cornelia McLauchlin. I reasurcr. Chapter II Remembering our experiences of the year before, we completely and thoroughly initialed the new Freshmen. Peace was not declared until we had transformed them from inferior insects to our worthy successors. Faye Forty-four Chapter III One of the outstanding entertainments of the year was the presentation of “The Old Maids' Convention.’ Feeling rather wealthy after that we gave a breakfast for our true and faithful friends, the Seniors. They in turn entertained us. BOOK THREE Chapter I Realizing that our Junior year would be one of the greatest of all, we chose as leaders Ann Brand, President; Katharine Rogers, Vice-President; Imogene Pegram, Secretary, and Jean Marion, Treasurer. With them we felt that success was assured. Chapter II Funds being rather low and fun in order, we sponsored two mirth provoking entertain- ments, Stunt Night and Mock Faculty. The Junior Follies also proved a howling success. Chapter III At last the happiest time of the Junior year came—the Junior Prom. We worked so hard preparing for it that we felt almost too tired to don our new evening dresses and pin on our corsages. That was all forgotten in the joy of seeing the best boy friend, and promenading over the side campus, which was indeed a place of beauty. Chapter IV A garden party was given by us in honor of the departing Seniors. That was enjoyed by all, although the sky threatened to send us to shelter at any moment. Chapter V Early one morning about half a dozen girls went out in the country to pick daisies. With them we made a daisy chain, which was one of the features of Class Day. That night we had our annual banquet at which time we wore our soon to be claimed caps and gowns. BOOK FOUR Chapter I For the last time we assembled to elect officers. These were; Ann Brand, President; Agnes Bingham, Vice-President; Helen Rosser, Secretary, and Jean Marion, Treasurer. Chapter II Overcome by practice teaching and elated over the Senior table, we continued on our way. Thoughts were often turned to the why’s and where's of the next year. Chapter III Desiring to be entertained by outside talent, we sponsored the University of North Caro- lina Glee Club and Mr. Elbert Moses. Our funds still being low, we gave the minstrel which proved quite successful as well as entertaining. Chapter IV We again attended the Junior-Senior Prom, this year as the guests of the Juniors. Beauti- ful ladies could be seen strolling over the campus on the arms of handsome Lochinvars from the North, the South, the East, as well as from the West. Chapter V Assuming our traditional dignity, we strolled about clad in our caps and gowns. None could help but look at us with respect. Chapter VI Now to the conclusion. Four years we’ve spent here, long years and yet so short. How sweet these last few days have been. Forgetting all the difficult and trying times of those years, we remember only these recent joys. But now it's almost over. We pause. We whisper a choked good-bye. We pass on. —A. M. B. Page Forty-five Senior Class Prophecy The day was fair and balmy, as only May days can be; the sun smiled down on the festivities on the campus of one of the South's largest colleges for women. Not only was it May Day. but also the twenty-fifth anniversary of the merging of Qucens-Chicora College. In addition to this a new alumni building was being dedicated, sponsored by the class of 1930. Mid throngs of admiring spectators the stately queen, the lovely daughter of Clemmie Jamison, sat enthroned, while her adoring court danced at her feet. Filmy chiffons and soft laces floated lazily, stirred by graceful motions. Finally the maids of the court drew up in a double line, and knelt for the queen to pass through. As the last tinkle of the jester's bell fell upon the ears of the crowd, the spell was broken, and shouts of applause filled the air. After the formal crowning of the queen, the audience was asked to adjourn to the back campus, where the dedication exercises were to be held. The lofty stone building, on which all eyes were focused, was the gift of the class of 19 30 to the alumnae, and was to be called the Alumnae Building. The presentation speech was made by Ann Johnston Brand, prominent Washington lawyer, who was president of the sponsoring class. Mrs. Anderson, wife of the president of Cornell University, whom I recognized as Daphne Clark, as chairman of the class committee, laid the cornerstone. Associated with Mrs. Anderson on this committee were Nellie Haynes, associate architect; Mrs. Albert Cecil, formerly Douglass Pegram, national president of U. D. C.; Mrs. Jonathan North, society leader of Paris and New York, was formerly Jean Marion, treasurer of the class. Following the speeches. Mary Lee Hill and Sarah Knowles, prima donnas ol Metropolitan Opera, rendered a duet. Present also, and busy with her notebook, was Catherine Wearn. society editor of I he Charlotte Observer. Miss Wearn had been untiring in her effort to give publicity to the project that was being realized by the members of her class. After several other speeches by the college officials, Ann Brand closed the program with the announcement that an informal banquet was to be held in the private dining room for the class of 19 30. I spent the remainder of the afternoon with Miss Mary Denny Hall, head of the Hall Furopcan Travel Tours, whose tours are noted for their luxury and ease. Miss Hall was trying to convince me that a summer in Europe would be profitable. Mary Gordon Query, assistant French professor at Vassar, joined us to dress for the banquet. On my way to the dining room I met Mary Beach, who had just arrived. Mary has re- cently been awarded a medal for outstanding work by the Chemical Society of America. Pa ye Forty-six The dining hall was simply decorated in yellow and white, the class colors. Standing just inside the door was the president of the college, and with him the dean, whom I immedi- ately recognized as Fern Norman. Talking with them was Elizabeth Randolph, professor of English at Columbia University. I was so charmed at recognizing so many of my old friends that it was quite a while before I found my place. As I looked about the table I saw many faces, some youthful and some care-worn, but to me. these were not the faces of mature women, but of my friends of yesterday. But there was no time for reminiscing, for the program had begun, and I was concerned with today, not yesterday. I was delighted to find that I was seated between Hallie Brake, editor of College Humor, and Katharine Rogers, wife of the Lieutenant-Governor of Georgia. Elizabeth Lowe, head of the Ithaca School of Dramatics, presided as toastmistress. A most interesting program was carried out. Evelyn Archer, wife of the governor of South Carolina, gave a toast to the daughters of the class of 1930. After several other toasts, the toastmistress called on Helen Blake Rosser, writer of feature articles for the Neu.' York Times, a very dis- tinguished guest. Helen said that she had nothing in particular to say except that she was charmed to be present ; and that she was planning to write a feature story concerning the day’s events. She also stated that she would like to get the names of all members of the class of 1930 before they left the banquet. The toastmistress asked that all members comply with this request. After several short toasts the banquet closed with the singing of the Alma Mater. The following article appeared in the New York Times: On May 1, Quecns-Chicora College, the great Southern institution for education of women, celebrated May Day and also the twenty-fifth anniversary of the merging of the two colleges that now form Qucens-Chicora. . . . (Then follows an account of events of the day.) The most interesting feature to those who sponsored the dedication was a get-together banquet for the members of the class of '3 0. Besides those already mentioned these people prominent in social, educational, and political circles were present; Emily Alexander. Chicago lawyer; Agnes Bingham, head of the Math department of the University of California; Mrs. Cornelia Nixon Ames, eminent psychologist; Mrs. Cecil Innis (May McLean), wife of the ambassador to England; Mary Elizabeth White, head of the School for Social Workers. New York City; Governor Mary Blankenship, of Alabama; Virginia Alderson, of Paris; Imogene Pegram Hymer, New York society woman; Dean Frances Stansell, of Bryn Mawr; Mary Robinson Smith, author; Caroline Parks, golf champion, and Rae Weeks, politician. —Cornelia McLauchlin.

To Dr. Frazer, our President, we do hereby will any assistance that we might give him in making the new Queens, the Queen of the South. Item 3.

Gladys Benton and Clara Deese, being scientifically inclined, do hereby will all of our interest in the biology laboratory to Bessie Hall and Lib Hoyle, hoping that they will have as many pleasant limes together in the Lab as we have had.

I, Ann Brand, honorable president of the class of 1930, do hereby will and wish that the unquestionable success I had in getting the hearty cooperation of the Senior class to be given to the Junior class president. Item 9. I, Sara Knowles, having made approximately only one mistake per year in Mr. Kennedy's history classes, and feeling that I owe something to him do leave a fine parrot which is being trained by one of the members of his history class in such a way that it will be able to correct any pupil at any time who attempts to speak when it is not the proper time for such. Item 10. I, Lib'' White, do bequeath my so-called Senior dignity to Sue Byrd and “Dot'' Donnelly, hoping that they will be allowed to enhance the Main Drag with their appearance every time it is their desire to do so.

I, Agnes Bingham, having spent four lengthy years in this school for spinsters, do hereby will my forgetting ability, which has never yet failed me, to Margaret Gaston. Item 15.

L Daphne Clark, with much reluctance, do hereby will and bequeath my con- tagious and spasmodic laugh to Annie Belle Smith, suggesting that she use it at every oppor- tunity. Item 23.

Perhaps a little interest may be derived from the fact that this does not propose so much to be a history as a mere sketch of the rising Seniors. To say that they came, a flock of green underclassmen, is to repeat the opening lines of the usual class history. And yet they did. but then history has a way of repeating itself. They no sooner landed than they were honor guests at a dance in the old gym—an affair which swiftly launched the as yet unorganized class. Slowly, order out of chaos. The group was permitted to call itself a class. Enthusiastically conducted elections placed Frances Gray Bristow upon the Freshman throne. How excellent are first impressions! Frances Gray proved a person well worthy of her responsibility, which was no little one, if you re- member the one hundred and thirty-two members. Fook further still, and laugh over Freshman Week, which more than emphasized their traditional qualities of greenness. We feel sorry for the task a class sponsor has her first year, and yet how nobly Miss Edwards bore her burden! Since undertaking the care of the 1931 ’s, Miss Edwards has been but a joy and a help to them. Does the writer dare ask the other side of the question? Regardless of sister classes, precedent, or other barriers, the Freshmen gave the Sophomores a wiener roast on the back campus. The writer dares only say that the Freshmen had a splendid time, and the Sophomores seemed too. We know of the heart-ache accompanying a return to school to find some member absent. Perhaps the loss of thirty-five Freshmen drew the Sophomore class closer together. More class spirit and more attainment, too, in this second year. Money! The eternal cry. The class invited the Furman Glee Club to give a concert, then Mr. and Mrs. Ackley, concertists. The cry “Money!” grew less harsh. Poor Freshies! The Sophomores painted them, ordered them, disgraced them, then partied them in one gala affair. Discernment marks the class apparently. Not once or twice, but three times has the class selected Christine Rosebro as their leader. Perhaps they knew a good girl when they saw her. She leading, they have mocked the faculty quite disrespectfully, have stunted on stunt night, and have “prom“-ed til they can prom no more. They’re a great class, have accomplished something in their short career, and, perhaps above all, have had a roaring, rollicking good time of it. —Mary Groome McNinch, '31. MARGARET BELL HOLLISTER.

In other words, drink of life and of everything in life to the full. As this annual goes to press the staff of the 1029-'30 Sceptre turns down its glass and it is empty. This outgoing staff looks back on its issues with pride. Whether or not its issues have topped every previous issue is beside the point. The staff simply feels that it has done its best, that every number has been as good as the staff has been able to make it : that the glass, in short, has been drained to the dregs. We who are leaving have no desire to make ol this a farewell address crowned with advice and suggestions. All the advice we have to give and all the suggestions we could offer is inculcated in the new staff. But there is one word we would leave with the student body: Never demand or support anything that would take from I he Sceptre the robe ol dignity it now wears. Queens College is unique among institutions and I he Sceptre is unique among college publications. We feel that to turn The Sceptre into a college comic would be un pardonable. The Sceptre is young—very young—but it is already well known among college publications. Given a few years, directed by the principles which the original staff laid down. The Sceptre will be preeminent among college publications. C hange the principles to ones more collegiate and I he Sceptre will be simply another ol the interior college comics which in lest the land. With this last word, the 1 929-’30 Sceptre staff turns down an empty glass. H3 Page Ninety- tivo l«L Ife. IB. IfJliOJlllE, IQ30 Queens’ Publications The Queens Blues, the college newspaper, is the official organ of the stu- dent body of the Queens Student Christian Association and the Athletic Associ- ation. It is published each year by the members of the Junior class in cooper- ation with the rest of the student body. It was organized for the first time in 1922 by Miss Florence Clubbick, English professor of Queens College, Miss Myrtle Williamson, editor-in-chief, and Miss Graham McCall, business man- ager. From this time, The Queens Blues has been representative of college life, increasing the Queens spirit, the spirit of loyalty, and the spirit of faithfulness to the best interests of all. Today The Queens Blues is a member of the N. C. C. Press Association and the National Collegiate Press Association. The Blues gives, both to the student body and to the alumnae, current news, such as visitors to the college, chapel talks, poetic contributions of students, editorials, and local social happenings, everything leading toward a greater true blue Queens. The Sceptre is the literary magazine of Queens. It has only existed for three years. There was one issue published during the spring of 1928, two during the year 1929, and two more in 1930. The Senior class is entrusted with the publication of this magazine. During its short life, The Sceptre has made great improvement. It puts before its readers the literary contributions of both faculty and students. There is usually a feature number containing the May Day Festival. T he first annual of Queens College was published in 1903. Between 1914-1917 we find no issues of the annual, due to the strenuous condition of the country during the World War. A small magazine called 7 he Princess, was published in 1917 and a year book in 1919. Since then the college an- nual, known as THE EDELWEISS, has been issued each year. THE EDELWEISS gives the campus views, the class organizations, the sorority personnel, and the college activities, including athletics. It seeks to portray by picture and story the life at Queens during each year.

Many of the outstanding col- leges and universities have these organizations at present and accept them rather as a matter of course. But these orders are an asset to any institution if they live up to the ideals of the Greek world, for they encourage closer friendships, better scholarship, and higher ideals of culture. The proper fraternal spirit fosters pride of organ- ization; develops social discipline; inculcates business habits; stimu- lates individual ambition; affords many opportunities for mutual helpfulness; and it brings the individual under observant eyes. Besides making more attractive personalities, these things go to make a stronger feeling of loyalty to the Alma Mater, which love, in its turn, produces a most desirable influence for the good of the institution.

W. C. A. pool has been a great attraction to Queens girls this year. The tri-weekly lessons not only help the girls physically but also give them much pleasure. Swimming is not included in the regular gym course, but the class grows steadily. If a girl goes swim- ming even once, her doom is usually sealed. She immedi- ately buys a season ticket and joins the regular class. The value of these swimming lessons can easily be seen. The girls always come back on the campus smiling, happy, and hungry. It is impossible for them to find a more healthful and pleasant way to spend their recreation hours. The popularity of swimming is indeed deserved. Page One Hundred Fifty-five Athletic Association The Athletic Association is an organization for every student in college. Its purpose is to interest every girl in some form of athletic activity. The Ath- letic Association is divided into two sides. Our colors are blue and blue and at the beginning of the year half of the new girls are put on the Light Blue side and the other half are put on the Dark Blue side. Then, a captain is elected for each side. The object of this division is for competition. If you are a Dark Blue or a Light Blue, you remain one the whole time you are in school. A Queens banner is awarded to the side making the highest number of points. When the banner has been won three consecutive years it becomes the permanent property of that side. Any half-hour of exercise counts one point. Points may be made by walking off campus; goal practice in the gym: swimming at the “Y” gives three points: scheduled basketball practice, three points: tennis one-half hour, one point, and track practice. No girl may make over three points a day. Early in the fall, hiking teams are organized and plans made for breakfast and supper hikes. T he hikers have a delightful time out on these excursions. When it is possible, they fix their meals after they have worked up a good healthy appetite. It is required that a girl must have been on 20 hikes before receiving her emblem. Tennis seems to be a favorite sport with most of the girls. During nearly the entire year, girls are out on the tennis courts. The tennis tournament is played off the spring just before the end of school. The Dark Blue team plays fhe Light Blue team and we also have individual competition. This year we have had an unusual amount of interest in basketball. We first had a series of games between the halls and the winning hall, which was South Hall, played the Day Students’ team. South Hall also won that game after a hard-fought game. T he next games were inter-class games. Seniors. Juniors and Sophomores were bowed to the lowly Freshmen. The Freshmen really walked away with this honor without much trouble. The basketball season is ended with the final game between the Light and Dark Blues. Next, comes our baseball season. This is the time to come out and see Babe Ruth put in the shade by our Queens stars! One of our most attractive feature is swimming at the Y. W. C. A. We do not have a swimming pool yet, but we hope to have one later when we become Queens-Chicora. At the end of the year prizes are awarded. To the girl making the highest number of points during the year a college sweater with a Q on it is given. To all girls making the basketball and baseball teams a “Q” is given. The girls who have made 250 points during the year are also given “Q's and to those who have Q’s” a star is given. To the tennis champion a silver cup is awarded. We are proud of the active interest and the hearty cooperation that has been given the Athletic Association this term. Our Gym” is a monument to the support that we have had. For the next year we arc expecting even more activities than we have enjoyed this year. f‘aye One Hundred li fly-six Explanation of Features S a Feature Section we are pre- senting Royalty, actual and real, for that which is real we accept as being symbolical. In this instance t h e symbolical is suggestive of queenly qualities. We were honored to have Queen Marie of Roumania, send us her autographed picture to aid us in por- traying our theme—Queens. Those of our number who are included in this group have been selected by their respective classes as students who possess a sense of responsibility, loyalty to ideals, ability in scholar- ship, and social graciousness and charm. LEOATIUNEA REGALA A ROMAN I El, WASHINGTON, D. C. No. 3Q8 P-140 February 1, 1930. Miss Katherine Rogers, Editor, The Edelweiss, Queens College, Charlotte, North Carolina. Madam: In reply to your letter dated January 16, 1930, I beg to inform you that we have transmitted your request to Her Majesty The Queen, through the usual channels.

GD'HCF A ,v ■BEBHB7 Ye Court Journal Year 1928 in the Reign of Her Highness QUEENS COLLEGE Ye First Week— Ye Court has assembled once again after having spent a most recreative and restorative period at ye summer palace. On ye fourth day of the week, ye pages began their arrival to prepare for her majesty and her attendants who arrived at ye court the next day. These afore- said pages are a hundred-odd new and eager youths who have been designated to service to her majesty. Up to date, no complaint has been made against their willingness and competency. Court festivities began Thursday evening with a greatly enjoyed and appreciated reception given by ye order of Q. S. C. A. and ye order of Student Government in honor of ye new pages and other new attendants. Ye old time informal party at ye Hut was also given. On this day Queens College most heartily welcomed and greeted her court and gave orders for ye duties to be assigned forthwith. Ye Second Week— It having been found a matter of expedience to give ye individual instruction to ye humble pages covering the ritual of ye court, classes have been formed for the purpose. Ye Little Blue Hand Book is to be used and ye order of the council will hold the meeting. Dire punishments are in store for those who fail to master aforesaid lessons. A picnic was given for ye court by ye order of Athletic Association. Pages and princesses mingled with hearty good cheer for many an hour or until the setting of ye sun. Ye Third Week— Certain athletic and vigorous persons from ye court have formed ye Swimming Club. This proves an entertaining as well as a most beneficial sport for all those indulging. Ye Fourth Week— For ye past few days, ye pages have been most royally entertained by ye sororities so that they are right heartily flattered by such attention as has been showered upon them. Ye Fifth Week— Ye pages having been given bids to ye sororities, court life again falls into its ordinary routine. Many of ye attendants were among those whom the U. S. Marine Band right merrily charmed and enthralled with their music classical and refined. Ye Sixth Week— Ye times of horror is in truth upon ye court. Ye pages so frightened as to be scarce able to move are being initiated into ye mysteries of court life by their friends, Maid Sophomores. Many and varied are ye duties which they perform with good cheer so that ye Chamber of Horrors, commonly known as ye Rat Court, may be avoided. Members of ye Glee Club were sent from our court as guests of King Davidson. Many and interesting have been ye talcs brought back by these most fortunate ones. Ye court greatly appreciates ye gift of ye Grisby-Grunow Co., a combination radio and victrola. In soothe it will be much enjoyed by ye court. Ye Seventh Week— Ye maid Sophomores, having decided that ye pages have sufficiently overcome ignorance and home-sickness to be dubbed members of ye court, a party was given to celebrate aforesaid victory. Having resolved to declare and demand their right as superior beings, ye princess Seniors have begun to bear aloof from ye less enlightened and glorious ones by gathering around ye Senior table. Right merry cheer seems to abound near them, to which ye others listen with ye greenish envy. Many representatives were guests of ye Myers Park Church at ye party. Delicious refresh- ments and delightful entertainment were fared. Ye Eighth Week— Ye Lady Juniors entertained their sister class by ye Hallowe’en party. Many notable personages such as Blue Beard, Pocahontas, and Mother Goose were there. Ye Ninth Week— Ye order of hikers have been organized and is functioning right readily. Tours to ye nearby places of interest are conducted quite frequently. Ye Tenth Week— Ye court disbanded activities for ye half holiday in honor of ye Armistice Day. All ye members hie themselves to various places of interest in honor of ye event. 1 hose attendants who have done work worthy of merit, were publicly commended by her majesty and their names entered upon ye roll of honor. Ye Eleventh Week— Several attendants were guests at the court of Queen Peace at a meeting of ye order of Queens Students Christian Association. Others were being entertained at King Lenoir Rhyne at a meeting of ye order of N. C. C. P. A. Princes from ye kingdom of University of North Carolina visited the court—disguised as musicians who were heartily welcomed. Fritz Kreisler also charmed with ye liquid music from his violin at ye Armory Auditorium. Ye Twelfth Week— Ye court duties were suspended in order for ye attendants to partake of a Thanksgiving season. Many journeyed to other kingdoms, while others indulged in great feasting here. Ye fashions for ye court were shown by ye Athletic Association. Many and beautiful were the costumes and the models displaying them. Ye Thirteenth Week— Ye holiday spirit has entered ye hearts of all. Ye fourteenth Week— Princes from the kingdom of U. S. C. visited at court and charmed with their music. Ye Fifteenth Week— In truth one of ye most beautiful and impressive services of ye season was the appearance of ye Queens Minstrels in their Christmas concert. Ye pages disguised as animals entertained court. Shapes of rabbits, cats, and even a loola were assumed for ye occasion. A great feast was partaken of in honor of ye coming holidays. Ye court duties were then dismissed for a period of frivolity and jollity. Ye Sixteenth unci Seventeenth Weeks— Ye editor finds it impossible to find information of any kind for this period of time. Ye Eighteenth Week— Ye attendants return ladened with beauteous Christmas gifts. With greatest difficulty one applies oneself to ye task at hand. Ye Nineteenth Week— Of great interest was Passion Play presented at ye armory and which many of ye court w i t n essed. Ye Founders’ Day was celebrated by ye holiday and ye programme sponsored by ye Alumnae Association. Ye Twentieth Week— Peace and quiet reignetb over ye court. Ye Twenty-first Week— A dread plague hast cast its shadow over ye court this week. With the exception of a few of ye Princess Seniors, all have succumbed to its influence—ye most eminent and capable court physicians have designated it as “Examinitis and have discovered that it visits ye court twice a year. No adequate prevention has been found and the only remedy is a few days vacation, preferably in week-end doses. Ye Twenty-second Week— A beautiful blanket of snow covered ye court. Ye attendants reveled in sports in it as well as eating delicious creams made from it. Ye Twenty-third Week— Many from ye court have been charmed by a noted visitor in the kingdom. Marry Summer. Ye 7 Wenty-fourth Week— Ye order of classical club initiated new members into its fold. Many and mysterious were the experiences endured. Many courtiers were present at ye marriage of a former princess. Ye 7 went y - if lh Week— New members were also taken into ye orders of Kappa Omicron and Upsilon Fan Delta. Great feasts were held lor the occasions. Ye Twenty-sixth Week— Ye kingdoms of Queens College and King Davidson meet at a vesper service at the Myers Park Presbyterian Church.

After aforesaid feasting, Elbert R. Moses, representative from a northern kingdom, delighted our ears with reading and stories of James Whitcomb Riley. Ye courtiers have decided to donate ye filthy lucre by which ye gym will be built. Knights from ye kingdom of Mallard Creek will assist in this building. Ye Twenty -seventh Week— Ye cow-pouring was held in ye nearby finished gym at which time aforesaid gym was dedicated to her majesty's service. Ye skeletons and other mysterious features were in evidence at ye initiation of ye order of Phi Beta Chi. Ye Twenty-eighth Week— Ye houses of Watkins, Long, and Morrison have lately engaged in battles with ye house of Watkins, leaving the field victorious on every occasion. Twelfth Night, ye play by Will Shakespeare, was given by ye order of dramatics. By my troth never did such becoming costumes adorn such capable actors. Ye Twenty-ninth Week— Ye battle of wits was waged between ye kingdom of William and Mary, and Davidson. Amid rejoicing of some and mourning of others, ye former won. Again ye house of Watkins entered battle. This time with the Day Student princess and again they were victorious. Ye Thirtieth Week— Announcement have been received of ye proposed marriage of our own Queen College with King Chicora. Ye aforesaid marriage will take place in ye fall. Ye lady Juniors sponsored ye Stunt Night. Representatives from ye courtiers took part. A merry hour was had by all. During ye evening of jolity, a hurricane was predicted to strike ye kingdom. The expected hurricane arrived in the morning, after which there was a calm for several days. Ye Thirty-first Week— Ye barbecue was given by her majesty for her courtiers.
