We're pointing her out because she is afire with ideas, be- cause her disposition is even, because she sketches artistically, because she does what she promises. As a rat” she performed the mira- cle of appearing as a Chinese dragon— her first step of individuality in the horde of freshmen. From then on it was a steady climb to the position of leader of leaders—president of Alpha Kappa Gamma. She never appears in public as a leader, she never advances herself to her rightful place, and we think it’s all wrong. The Coronet is pushing her up on the pedestal—now you keep her there. IIlsii: setzeii for her value to our college and for her cleaned, brushed and straighten- ed” personality. Her frankness and naturalness are evident in her clear voice, the easy swing in her walk, the expression of her face. She's a clever girl, and by working with Mrs. Lyon, has succeeded in landing the debating team in a south- ern debating society. And that consti- tutes the neatest piece of work we’ve seen to date. To the outsider, she has waved a little wand and changed a pumpkin into a coach, but to one who knows, she has pulled up, inch by inch, a semblance of a team, composed of earnest debaters, but stifled by a lack of enthusiasm on the part of the campus for debates, to such a live-wire organization that it has received an in- vitation to become a part of the Strawberry Leaf”. You probably didn't know all of this. Elsie doesn't talk about herself. IT! AII4.AIIET LAND. not as the most outstanding girl in the freshman class, but as a person of unusual talents and responsiveness. She is gifted dramatically, musically, and phvM'.illy, and is most gracious in performing on any program with the poise and grace of an artist. Although .1 special” at Queens last year, she seems to be making a very good rat now and is applying her en- ergy anil originality to the freshman class. And after all this technical ex- planation for recognizing her, we still have the desire, juvenile, perhaps, to run around in circles about her glow- ing smile, her distinct voice, her warm slow manner. Can she take it? This praise has not been strewn over her carelessly, but with the realization that she could drown her standing on the campus in it. Margaret Land won't though; we believe that after four years of this mush she'll still be RECOGNIZ- ABLE. The Coronft will recognize a trio of students in each issue u ho have shown outstanding loyalty to Queens-Chic or a. ! FACULTY Dr. William Henry Frazer is a president in every sense of the word. He is the head of the college, the helper of each student, the lover of knowledge. Rightfully, at all times he is the commander of the situation and a just law maker. Queens-Chicora College owes to him her standing, in collegiate circles today, her growth of curriculum, her fine type of students. In giving his in- stitution these advantages, he has taken no glory for himself; instead, he has wanted in return only a peculiar joy and pride in watching his college develop into a home, equipped with knowledge and companionship, and under the guidance of God and His teachings. Aside from his contributions, he himself is an interesting personality and an asset to his college. Have you heard his famous negro stories, or his 1 uncanny imitation of dialects ? He delights in the droll situation and the comic, and is an extremely popular speaker. And when he calls you sister”, j you’ll find, implied in that one word, I his love of his work, his interest in his students, his kindly fellowship, I his religious teachings, and his genial ; humor. Dean Edwards She is the sweetest person imagi- nable. Students never find her without a serene smile on her face. As the dean of women she is a jewel. Picture a counsellor to whom stu- dents come for advice, on whom they depend, and you see Miss Edwards. Now visualize a professor, patiently teaching the classic language and delving into Latin research, and that is Miss Edwards also. A cultured, sincere, energetic, in- telligent lady—this is our Dean Ed- wards. Dr. Kratz A newcomer and a gogetter and a lively charmer and there you have Dr. Kratz. She smiles at you in her mis- chievous fashion and says huskily, Hello there,” and you’ve caught something. Behind that impish grin, there's a wealth of intelligence, intuition, and knowledge of humanity. There is also a love for Queens and Charlotte, that is manifested by her work and happiness here. Cultivate her as a friend, and you will enjoy hours of mental stimulus and years of friendly understanding. Booker Kratz King Edwards Thomas FACULTY Mrs. Warren H. Booker—She is the perfect professor of home economics, who lives and breathes her title— flowers outside her door, bright vases and attractive what-nots in her room, taste and charm in her dress. Dr. Althea H. Kratz—She is our new dean of instruction, whose un- usual ideas have been used for prac- tically every organization here. She just belongs at Queens. Miss Ethel M. King—Our dramatic instructor has inspired many of her pupils to a fine appreciation of drama and to a correct interpretation of it, because she, herself, is gifted. Miss Alma T. Edwards—She is charming. The ideal dean of women is realized in her gracious manner and sincerity. Students know that, in Dean Edwards, they have a friend. Miss Mary Louise Thomas—She is the faithful co-worker of Dean Kratz, and efficiency is her first, last, and middle name. Jtlerrp C f) r t t m a 3 [4] FACULTY Miss Mary Mathilda Fulton—She is a small energetic hard-worker whose pupils in home economics recognize her ability in that field. Miss Mary H. Inglis—Here is the dynamo who has a whole school to herself—the school of business—and she turns out the finest stenographers and secretaries available. Dr. Agnes Stout—Here is our child wonder—a delver in research, head of the English department, a careful pro- fessor, but catch her off her guard, and you really know her. Dr. Charles W. Sommerville—He is the inspiration of every girl at Queens. His classes in Bible are fascinating and applicable because of his kindly spirit and his faultless methods of ex- plaining the Book. Dr. M. Dorisse Howe—She is a pro- fessor who knows her biology back- wards and forward, and is not content until her pupils are following in her footsteps. Miss Rena Harrell—Have you ever met a lover of books who was as orig- inal and interesting as the books she loves ? That describes our librarian. Jleto gear Fulton Inglis Stout Sommerville Howf. Harrell FACULTY Miss Olive M. Jones—Our head of the mathematics department is as quick and clever a personality as she is a mathematician. Miss Marie Turnipseed—She is a dainty, soft-spoken person whose classes are in Latin and mathematics; she's been mistaken for a freshman. Miss Cordelia Henderson—is the athletic instructor whose colorful skirts and scarves suit her position, and whose ability merits her the position. Dr. Minnie Almira Graham—Our professor of physical sciences is one who interests her pupils in her work, who loves the sciences, and who knows her subject thoroughly. Mrs. John Lyon—Here is our live- wire of energy, who, besides teaching English, is the advisor of the Literary Societies, and the companion of the students. Miss Ida M. Patrick—She is quiet in her actions, but she is working steadily toward an interest on the cam- pus in her language—French. Mrs. J. McEwen—She is a Queens graduate, and as considerate and fair- minded a teacher as there is on the campus. Her classes in the physical sciences are interesting. Mr. R. V. Kennedy- A brave man is he who stands among so many ladies, and braver still because he teaches history to nearly every student and makes her like it. Miss Mary Wharton—We are in- troducing a delightful personality whose love of piano and music is skillfully transferred to her audience each time she plays. Miss (irate Robinson—She thrills you with her voice, inspires you, and Captures you with the sunny nature and jolly spirit of a great singer.

And usually the baby class is attractive as a whole, and spoiled as individuals, and very cute. But this September told a different story. We watch- ed our freshman register, and unpack, and start to work, and calmly proceed to amaze everyone else. They are still attractive, but unusually so, with an unlimited amount of energy and poise. Never has Queens seen so many capable students in one class. And they are all sensible! As soon as the flurry of rushing had passed, the level-headed misses, still unruffled by all of the excitement, immediately called on Jane Davis to organize the class, and appointed Mar- garet Land and Tempe Speagle as leaders of the traditional Stunt Night . Even with all of the business of pulling themselves to- gether, the class has managed to contribute to all college entertainments from the plentiful supply of talent in the Freshman class. And such versatility! The prodigies boast of whistling wonders and parchesie champions in the same breath. And no one seems to be childishly shy about performing. All in all, Queens-Chicora is proud of her youngest class and experiences a certain thrill in calling each freshman her own. If the freshmen will only keep their individual attitudes, their fresh outlooks, their dear visions of the future always before them, then this old college, in four years, should raise the flag in honor of the best yet .

These rats” may be termed exhibit A in the line of Queens- Chicora entertainment. The first surprise came during Rat Week when variety was shown in Talent Time”. The second eye-opener astounded us in the form of willingness of the freshmen to perform at the Party and at Dinner on Wednesdays. And the third triumphant play was made by the class when the two leads for their Stunt were called away at very nearly the last minute, and the show went on! The parts were immediately cast and the Stunt was a clever, original success, under the leadership of Jane Davis. So the freshmen are dauntless; they are gems of activity, and they have fitted perfectly into the atmosphere of our college. Each girl seems to realize the importance of new enthusiasm, individual spirit, and loyal devotion to Queens- Chicora. Frances Garrett Charlotte, N. C. Josephine Rankin China Grove, N. C.

Her tailored suits, her hair, brushed back and then bouncing up again, her healthy appearance, all form the perfect picture of an out-door girl. Have you stopped counting the Charlotte students? There are bunches of them. Eleanor Burris, Sara Keiger, Adele Southerland, Martha Alexander, in one. Jennie Ann Efird, Marilyn Brittain, Mary Mickley, Johnny Walker running around together. And Elizabeth Gammon, Charlotte McAden, Courtney Jones, and so many more attractive ones. Peggy Sabine is an addition to Char- lotte and Queens—she recently moved here from New York, and she’s gifted dramatically. Ginger Snapp, is an- other new resident of Charlotte, and that’s what she likes to be called, with no giggling, please. The names of our freshmen are so unusual—Carmalt sounds delicious. And Tempe is the very name for that alert individual. Cree is a clever nick-name, and Mayme is spelt cleverly. Le Grande is the tops in family names. Rosa Willis has music in her name. And Nanette Sherard seems to turn somersaults on your tongue. Ginger Snapp merits mention again, in con- nection with this subject. And never shall we forget our first glimpse of the freshmen—Katherine Stewart, as radiant and happy as a senior; Rose Shanklin, here early and helping others to find their rooms; Sarah Sprott, with the family reunion in her room; Margaret Hunsucker having her picture taken. Freshman, there’s no one quite like you. [12] ” HY hidy, Elvira, I ain’t seed you, since Mrs. Jones' fun’el. You looks mighty well.” ’Hidy, Mamie, how yawl?” Aw, we’s all right. You know'd Sam gon' be babtised Sunday, didn't yuh ? I come town today to git him a suit.” Hesh, Viry, your Sam? How come day boy gon’ be babtised?

Uh wall, wuz’t de same year dat Aunt Martha tore de year ring outer when she got shoutin’ t'other nite?” I ’on’ know 'bout dat, but you know Izeah’s de only one can hold Carry' Nation when de Spirit strike her, now. Talkin’ ’bout shoutin’, gal, you know dat nail Brother Stark drive in de wall fo’ elder Bowens to hang his overcoat on? Wall, of Hesakiah got shoutin' an' jump so high twell he hang dat new pair striped britches on dat nail, an’ I means he hung dere twell some de deakums unhooked ’im.” Now chile!

Wal, stay 'ere twil I come, Viry, an’ don’ fergit 'bout poundin’ de paster, babtizin’ Sunday. Gon’ look fer you.” [13] Miss Molly, Put the Kettle On JAWING low, sweet Cha-a-i-ot Comin foah t’ carry me----” Come on in, invited big fat Cindy ceasing her song, as she heard a knock on the kitchen door. Inwardly she muttered, Gawganne agin, I’ll be boun’. Why in de debble cain't dat lowdown niggah stay at home an’ ten’ t’ her own biznes' sum time.” Good evenin’ Cindy,” greeted Georgianne. Why, howdy do, Gawganne. I’s glad you come,” lied Cindy politely. Ain’t you thu washin’ up de sup- pah deeshes yit? Lawd, I bin thu a long time,” whimpered the visitor. What’d you cook good fuh suppah, Cindy?” Aw, nuffin much. Dere’s sum bis- kit puddin in dat pan ober dar on de tabul. Git you sum. I s aimin’ t' put hit up fuh mah dinnah, but no mind, you eat hit.

Sunday she say she’s comm’ over heah t' night, an’ ef she ketch me, she sho beg eby rag off n’ my back.” Er lazy heifer,” pronounced Georgianne perilously perching her two hundred and fifty pounds on a small nail keg behind the stove and eating the biscuit pudding. Das de Gawd's truf. She'll sho beg now. Beg off evybody. Duddah day, she wint up t’ Miss Molly, whinin’ roun bout she habin’ bad cold an' axin' Miss Molly gib her little brandy. She make me tared,” finished Georgi- anne with righteous indignation. Men1 you bof, Gawgy,” said Cindy. Is you put up any par’zerves yit, gal? Ah ain't got a bit.” Yas, I has foah haf gallun jairs. l'se been visitin' de tree ebery night t’ git dem when de win’ blows. Das whut I cum by heah fuh t'nite. I’s gwine up to de par tree t'reckly an’ git dis sack full. I thought maybe you’d lack t’ come long an’ git you some too.” Das a good idee,” mused Cindy, ef ah don' hurry, ol’ hawkeye, he’ll beat me to ’em. He’ll be a gatherin’ 'em purty soon, won’ he? Ah’s glad you come by.” Cindy dried the last dish, set the table for breakfast, blew out the smok- ing kitchen lamp, and the two old aunties ambled silently down the path and out of the back gate toward the pear tree. It was dark, and they felt reasonably safe; but Georgianne, knowing Mr. Jones, was always cau- tious. Sh-h,” she whispered, ’’Don’ make no moah noise dan we has to You cain’t nebah tell who mout be listenin’ roun’.” Reaching the pear tree which was about two hundred and fifty yards from the white folks’ house, they felt safe in continuing their conversation. Ain’t de pars nice dis year, Cindy,” observed Georgianne, as they fell busi- ly to work picking up the fallen fruit and putting it into the tow sack. Yas, nicer’n ah’s ebah seed ’em. Ain’t dat air cold t'nite. Hit wouldn’ s’prise me a bit ef hit wuz t’ come a fros disver’ nite.” Um um, sho is. Frosted a little las nite, so Zeke say. Ah ain't seed none myself do. Ah wuz aimin’ t’ go to de feast in de wilderness t’nite ef you hadn' come. Gonna be right cole fur de meetin’ nex week.” Ah’s agittin’ tared,” said Georgi- anne after a while. Le's set down an’ res’ a while, Cindy.” Gawganne, hit’s cause youse gittin so everlastin’ fat, gal. Why ’on’ you order yoself one dem W. T. Cossits fum Sairs an Rarebacks?” Georgianne considered a moment staring at Cindy, Is dey any good?” Yas, Sook say dere’s nuthin' lack 'em. She got hern fum de Watskin man, but you kin order 'em. I seen one in de new catalogue. Sook wouldn’ take nuthin' fuh hern. I’s been aimin' t’ git me one soon ez ah git little money on han’. Da’s how cum me t’ name de baby W. T. So’s ah wouldn’t fergit de name.” Wall, ah say. But you know hit’s de style now t’ call chullen by lettahs anyways. Ah thinks W. T. make a right purty name fuh a chile,” said Georgianne. Just then a shower of pears fell, followed shortly by another and an- other. Lan’ sakes1 I ain’ nebah seed nuffin lack de way dese pars failin’ t’nite, commented Cindy. Falls lack dere mout be a hi’ win’, but dere ain’ scarcely nun ’tall.” Don’ dey now,” exclaimed Georgi- anne. We’s habin luck t’nite. Pars fallin. De Good Lawd on our side case he know we ain’ able t’ dim no tree aft’ em, fat ez we is.” We’s got de sack bout full,” an- nounced Cindy presently. Le’s git along ’fo’ de of fortune tellah ketch us.” As they shouldered the bulging sack, a deep voice that unmistakably be- longed to the one and only Mr. Jones came from up in the tree. It was very good of you all to pick up the pears for me, and if you will come up to the house in the morning, you can peal them for Miss Molly to pre- serve! I’ll tell her to put the kettle on.” MARGARET ANDERSON [14] DIARY CAMPUS Sep I EMBER 14: I don t know why I m keeping you be- cause there isn’t time here at Queens for anything but college activities , but it’s all so fascinating this year that I’ve decided this little book will provide good sales talks for my grandchildren. Well, we’re all here—350 strong. And Eve never seen so many attractive, dignified freshmen—I feel as if I’m insulting them when I ask them if there’s anything I can do . We had short classes today, and it is really fun to see everyone carrying notebooks and pencils again. And Dr. Kratz is a surprise package from Dr. Frazer to every girl here. She’s young, with a grand sense of humor, and a businesslike attitude. All the girls are genuinely fond of her. October 1: The school is wild, the girls are delirious— in short, rushing is over! And were there upsets, sur- prises, and disappointments. The group in the picture there are eagerly scanning their sorority list to see if she” is on it. And from their expressions, She is. I think the freshmen should be congratulated for keeping their heads and wisely attaching themselves to the group of girls with which they are most congenial. Now, maybe normal re- lations will be resumed and we may talk to anyone anytime we please. November 23: Well, votes were counted and the school went wild again. The screams resounded to Park Place, I know. And we have a slender, lovely brunette May Queen, who is not only beautiful, but capable as well. Bettie's beauty seems to come from her unselfish spirit in being of service to other people. She is all that a queen should be. And fo ran her a close second, because she too possesses a quiet dignified beauty and a stately manner. Wonder which lucky junior will be Maid of Honor? I’ve a hunch that Margaret Calder fits into this picture. —By a Senior REPORTS” FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF A RAT......... I AM a rat—a real, live Queens-Chicora rat with a tail n’ everything. But never until I came to Queens did I hear of a whole week known as Rat Week”. And such a strange race of rats as this week is in honor of! They resemble human beings in shape, but they wear queer cos- tumes, and do the most astounding things, and act so meek (much meeker than I ever am). This year, Rat Week began October seventh. (I went 'specially to Miss Harrill’s library to find out the date.) Monday morning all the Freshmen wore small green caps, green gloves, and no make-up to class. At all hours of the day I saw them carrying books, cleaning rooms, and open- ing doors for the lordly Sophomores. In the dining room, I hid in Bessie’s apron pocket and watched the '’green'' freshmen eat clumsily with spoons and gloves while cheer- ing the Sophomore class. by Lura Coffey I went over to bacteriology lab after lunch (really, it kept me scurrying around to find out all that was happen- ing) and sat very still behind a test tube to hear the juniors plan to kidnap the Sophomores for their over- bearing attitude toward the little sisters” of the Juniors. Monday night the Rats put on a circus in the gym for the Sophomores’ approval. There was a band, a master of ceremonies, peanut vendors, a tight-rope artist, side-shows, and what-not. The upperclassmen responded with cheers and applause. We mice were on the outside, but we had to leave when we saw Clyde, the night-watchman, coming too. My brother, Squeak-Mouse, who works at the Little Store , told me that the Freshman Rats, chaperoned by the Sophomores, carried pennies in their laundry bags to the store and bought all-day suckers. Tuesday night all the Freshmen were sent to Pi Hall in a state of fear and trembling. One by one they were taken to North and told to crawl up and down the hall, giving the cry of the rat, until they found the rat's delight (a piece of cheese). Needless to say, it was rather an amusing spectacle, especially when I or one of the other mice would eat the cheese before the Freshmen found it—a fact which puzzled even the Sophomores. Thursday night the Sophomores had the Rats present Talent Time” in an effort to help the Freshmen discover more about themselves. After this the Sophomores dropped their lordly attitude and informally entertained the Fresh- men in the hope that friendship and good feeling would be restored. We mice finished the crumbs after the party was over and voted to befriend our namesakes at all times when they are in danger of Homesickness, Hunger, or Failure, the three cats of micedom. [16] SENTIMENTAL SOPHOMORES It doesn't take a Rat long to grow up. Only last year Mary Currie and Jane Wiley were being trampled upon by the lordly sophs, and being made to feel as insignificant as possible, but times change, and so do Rats. The slave drivers of a year ago sat back and gasped on the night of November 26, when the curtain rose on the set of the sophomore stunt. That gasp evidently penetrated the mar- row of the cold judges, for the sophomores cheered wildly about something there at the last. For weeks before Stunt Night,” class meetings were scheduled. Anyone passing through Burwell Hall on Tues- day afternoon could hear strains of We’ve been working on the railroad or Sophomores, stand together” issuing from the society halls. And each class had difficulties and coped with them. Freshmen lost their stunt chairman and the leading lady, but the Rats never even squeaked. Jane Davis took charge, and she managed beautifully, lone Smith constructed a train and furnished each senior with a typewritten copy of all songs without losing her temper. Juniors needed a castle, so Loise Thompson covered the organ with an original scene, which was very effective. Mrs. Wiley and Jane trailed silvered leaves and crystal flakes behind them for weeks. Without a doubt, more time and preparation and thought were given to this year’s traditional occasion than ever before. Finally the night came when no more could be done. Cars lined the streets by the college; the auditorium was filled; the performers were restless. Promptly at 8 the freshman class entered in rompers and ginghams, singing a song written by Margaret Land. Sophomores stole mys- teriously into their places, dressed in Eastern fashion and chanting weird melodies. Next came the bold juniors, brandishing spears and swords. Seniors marched arrogant- ly down the stairs with Engineer Phillips at the head, sing- ing an explanation of their stunt. As soon as the galleries subsided, the freshmen put on their babyest stares and proceeded to mimic their version of Little Red Riding Hood”. The treatment was extremely clever and furnish- ed many of the evening's laughs. The minute the audience viewed the set for the sopho- more stunt, they knew the resting place of the cup for another year. The setting gave the effect of an enchanted garden, which had been drowned in star-dust. In the midst of the glistening trees and crystal columns was the golden lamp of Aladdin. The acting in pantomime was the perfect complement for that dreamy, idealistic fairyland. And Lucile Dulin's voice seemed to lull the listeners into the bewitched atmosphere. But interest didn’t stop there. The juniors provoked the best roll-in-the-aisle laugh when Elsie Setzer practically toe-danced to a popular song. The costumes were excellent, but Stroupe should have had more to do. And the seniors still maintain that the subtlety of their stunt was far beyond the comprehension of human intelligence.

Class [17] TALENTS DEBUT “AUTUMN FIRE” Autumn sets my heart on fire with her brightness— Bronze of foliage, scarlet of sunset, silver of moonlight All merge into a flame that burns within me Like a roaring leaping bonfire—not calmly, As spring twilight or winter lamplight, But ruthlessly, and I am scorched by her beauty. Autumn sets my mind on fire with her courage— A last fling of color against the sky Before death comes to all her paintings. Boldly she signs her name on every tree, Garden, and lawn. I feel her blood in my being Singing, and I am burned by her spirit. MAY LEBBY SMITH. “GRAY DAY” I stood at my casement window And looked at the dreary sky; The morning rather depressed me, The people hurried by: The day seemed a forewarning Of something yet to come; I stood at my casement window And silently wished for the sun. The sky seemed, oh, so sullen! The nearby trees, so black! I had a tight close feeling As though something were sadly alack. And then, the sky seemed to open, And the sun came shining down, And the whole world bathed in splendor, And God had withdrawn His frown. “SOLITUDE AND PRAYER” In the silence of the night I awoke, Nowhere could I see a light; Then God Spoke In the pealing of a bell Floating to me ’cross the dell, And in gentle tones did tell Of His love. In that quiet solitude I learned to pray. Before God my soul stood nude. A new day Dawned for me because of Him, A candle which had burned dim, A faith which had grown slim, Was renewed. SUE MAXWELL MAULDIN. PICTURES A silent world and shadows— A pale moon making beautiful A small part Of all the darkness. A world of changes and doubts— A tall youth facing life and men Challenged And challenging. [18] SUE MAXWELL MAULDIN. E” MY SOLITUDE The sun sinks lower behind the hill. The sky is gaily hued— The dusk descends on a world so still, And brings me solitude. The shadows lengthen, bree2es blow, And in this interlude The daylight fades with the rosy glow And leaves me solitude. All thru’ the busy, hurried day I only stop for food. I put my heart and soul away Until my solitude. Kaleiodscopic pictures play— Each trying to pass the other To bring up memories of childhood’s day Of home, of friends, of mother. I seem detached from all the earth— As I sit on a hill. I estimate the whole world’s worth By one I love, and still— I try so very hard to think Of things that are my own. Somehow each thought gets on a brink That shouts just you alone. My solitude may cause depression. It satisfies me too, For it takes up my love expression And wings it safe to you. Swiftly now the twilight fades. The silver moon rides high. The last bird call in the woody glades Says: Peace and God on high! The stars peep thru the velvet blue And end this interlude. So ends my lovely dream of you— So ends my solitude. L. D. W. [19] ALUMNAE NEWS Miss Ashe Bennett Sikes, '34, succeeds Mrs. H. B. Smith, ’32, as president of the Monroe Queens- Chicora Alumnae Chapter. Monroe has a very active alumnae chapter, and we know it will have a successful year under Ashe Bennett’s leadership. Mrs. Donald Snyder Carpenter, formerly Virginia Ragan, was married in the First Presbyterian Church in Gastonia on October 19th. Virginia took a business course at Queens after her graduation from Duke University in 1933. She is now living at 923 Carolina Avenue in Winston-Salem. Mrs. E. Ralph Maxwell, ’31, was Ethel Mae Bane before her marriage at the First Baptist Church in Mullins, South Carolina, last June 27th. She is now living at the Singletary Apart- ment in Florence. [20] Ruth Grover, ’35, needs no intro- duction to our present student body as she is known to us as our com- petent student secretary. Also, as alumnae secretary, she is meeting and making contacts with many of our former stduents. Clare Hazel, ’35, is now in New York, acting as hostess at one of the Childs. On the side she is posing for the Johnny Powell Modeling Agent. Clare also has an offer to play a minor part in one of the Theatre Guild plays. Mrs. James I. Devereux, ’33, was Miss Susie Wilkie of Forest City be- fore her marriage at the home of Dr. Luther Little in Charlotte on Dec- ember 28, 1934. Miss Ariel McNinch, of Wash- ington, D. C, who attended Queens- Chicora in '32 and transferred to Chevy Chase in ’33, was a recent vis- itor in Charlotte and reported that the Queens-Chicora Alumnae Chapter m Washington is quite active and ad- ding new members each month. Ariel is president of the Washington chap- ter. At present she is with the W. F. Jackson Company, Estimators in Washington. Mr. and Mrs. Francis Holman (Hughla Lee McCollum, ’34) an- nounce the birth of a daughter, Eliza- beth Lee, December 5, 1935, in Sum- ter, S. C. While at Queens, Hughla Lee was President of the Senior Class and active in Kappa Delta Sorority, of which she was a member. Miss Eleanor Hayes, ’35, is now in New York City spending the win- ter, She has a position with Macy’s Department Store in the china de- partment. Announcement has been received here of the marriage of Miss Ruth Kale, ’34, of Belmont, to Mr. J. Lee Dagenhardt in November, 1935. As the Coronet goes to press news is received of the approaching mar- riage of Miss Alva Guy, of Char- lotte, who attended Queens in ’32 and ’33, to Mr. Rives H. King, of Greens- boro. The date of the wedding is De- cember 14. [21] . . CAMPUS LIFE Run, girls, or you’ll miss your ride—you didn't hail him down, did you? And old Dobbin looks as if he could call forth spirits with that evil eye. Now, Doc Ninniss, you needn’t look so skeptical—maybe those musicians are telling the truth. And there parks the hope of every Queens girl, the catch in her throat— the mail truck. Eleanor Burris and Charlotte McAden are probably grinning because Ippy pulled a fast one—or because Math is over for the day. But they can't stop there—go right in to chapel, darlings—We see you, Ruth Knee, so don't try to duck around the corner. Dobbin, is that your mouth hanging open—oh well, I suppose you’re bored with all this picture business, anyhow. Why don’t you get your M. A. at Duke? And did you ever see a breeze blowing, or a smile beaming, or a senior class president like Phillips? • • • AT QUEENS- .....CHICORA Mister, do you feel your importance? That's probably a box of food for Margaret Anderson from Tennessee, and a box of candy for Margaret Land from the boys. Under these letters (how in the world did you get that picture, Hodge?) rests the an- swer to the girls’ increased poundage—the Y” store. Now, if you will pardon that next picture, and make it up to unfinished business— Hodge was evidently thinking of Virginia (that’s not the name of her best friend, freshman). And that’s the science building, where many tremble and others delight. The windows with their eyes shut belong to the biology lab, and the wide-awake ones are the eyes for the postoffice, the math room, and the chemistry lab—if that means anything. Mary Durden, it's no laughing matter—if 9:30 is too early for you to ar- rive fully dressed for class, you’d better change your schedule. How can two people with as much on their minds as Betty and lone look so cheer- ful? Maybe that’s the first stage of hysteria. And listen, sister, you’d do well to stop worrying about catching that class on time— you'll be a nervous wreck in four years. The gals behind you must be sophomores— they’re grinning. Jo, that walk is pretty enough for any one’s queen—get lone to introduce you to a Chinese emperor. There’s Mary Durden, again, and she’s laughing at Dell Souther- land, who’s having her trouble—why don’t you girls get together?

When Anne enrolled at Queens four years ago it was generally known that her scholastic rating would continue to soar, and that her ability in other fields would be recognized. Her quiet and sincere manner has a way of letting j you know that you can depend on her. Here is a girl who realizes her responsibility in the posi- tions in which she has been placed, and she undertakes anything connected with her office. Now Anne is not the most forward person we know, and she doesn't enjoy making speeches, but if she is asked, as the president of the Literary Societies, or as a representative student, to talk in chapel, she responds willingly. That's what we like about her. She is capable, persevering, attractively brilliant, and cheerful about this whole business of living. an energetic, dark-haired, bright-eyed worker. Last year, Loise, then a sophomore, displayed unu- 1 sual talent as a writer of short-stories, poetry, and plays, for these products of her pen are as in- dividual and clever as the writer. Her poetry shows the sprightliness in her nature, her sunny and elfin-like personality. Short stories and sketches by Loise reflect a beautiful fanciful, magical touch as different as her name. But this mysterious and imaginative quality belonging to the girl is bal- anced by a sense of exactitude and reality belonging to the student. This balance is evident in the historical plays which she has written for production at Queens. Like to know this interesting person? Then look for a mere child presiding in a junior class meeting, or bouncing into the Creative Writers' midst to lead them, or shooing your friends into Mr. Phillip's studio. and there's no placing of the finger on any definite reason. There is a blurred, mixed variety of phrases floating around in our minds that go round and round'' and come out like this: She cer- tainly handles the chapel programs well, and that picture of her in the paper as a sponsor for a Davidson house party was a knockout. Well, ihere’s nothing surprising about that—she looks just like it. She does a lot of work in different organizations, and believes in smiling at freshmen the first of the year. But what has she done to make us realize that she is one out of the crowd? We believe that she has shown, by little touches and steady loyalty, that she is fitted for any re- sponsible position at the college. It is perfectly plain that she does a great deal in a quiet way, or we would be more definite about what it is. C 2 ] -A. SINGLE moment can never be recaptured. We may never possess for a second time the thrill of meeting a friend in a strange city—or the anguish of our first night in a college dormitory. Some moments of sheer beauty we would wish repeated again and again, while other spaces of ugly thoughts are shunned and avoided. Yet our thoughts and moments are not beyond our control, if we but plan our spending of them. You and I are here on this green earth with its abundance of opportunity for a certain period—a short, short time in the span of eternity. And we trail moments behind us, dropping them on in consequential pastimes, even forgetting where we place these pieces of our lives. We waste our moments which we can never cram into a later hour. to waste such a treasure. We spend thousands of moments setting the scene for study or work. We waste hundreds of hours with worthless companions. We often scar many otherwise beautiful years by choosing the wrong course. Of course we are told that no moment is wasted, that each may be found in our life-pattern. But some are found that have been used wrongly, flagrantly, and their part in the pattern has been to hinder our work, to overshadow a lovely thought. So it is important that we choose our paths early in life and spend our moments accordingly. We must learn not to scatter these bits of our lives on idleness and useless pleasures. Instead we must apply every force within us to our work, feel intensely each joyful moment we spend on worthwhile pastimes. A chapel talk by Dr. Frazer not so many weeks ago seems to emphasize a part of this idea. He spoke of our performing our own individual tasks well. Combining this thought with ours we have a maxim that each of us should use. Do your own work well every moment of your life. Be thoroughly alive to all around you, so that your task may have every possible chance to succeed. Now when you think how important one moment is— your only time to do a particular kindness, your one op portunity to create a new thought—how foolish we are In using our moments, we must live fully, taking as much of this wide world to our hearts as possible, making each moment count for a part of our life work. Let's not sell our jewel-like time so cheaply. Remember yesterday s sunshine, and we were in the dark theatre? How much of the comedy will we remember, or will affect our lives next week or next year? A walk with a friend, a country ride could brush the mist from our minds, and the flash of a cardinal's wing could thrill our hearts. Think of tomorrow and promise yourself that you will remember the fleeting quality of a moment, and use it wisely. [ 3 ] ujHne BCino a We 'VE often wondered just who or what makes the wheels of the sophomore class go around, and a conclusion has been reached. Here are some of the leaders and work- ers in the class. Whom would you pick as THE force? Mary Currie, president, leads her class in the matter of dependability and force. She launches a project and never stops pushing until it is a success. Jo McDonald is the per- fect committee woman, and one who does the dirty work with no complaints. Nancy Mclver is capable, trustworthy, and the pleasantest of souls. Doodle Dulin is original and a rock of Gibraltar when it comes to drama. (No, she does not act like one), but she plays old women, babes in arms, the duchess, and a Turkish sultan, without losing her plait. Anita Stewart and Jo Hackney are a pair second to none in our musical and artistic circles. Anita paints artistically and in a lighter mood makes a charming monkey. Jo performs on the organ, piano, and accordion, when not carrying the class around in her car, or working on an entertainment. Speaking of music, the sophomore class furnishes quite a few of the college musicians—Marie Neikirk, Charlotte Stanley, Harriete Truesdale, Freddie Ward, Miriam Dodd Little, Becky Cooke, Martha Stew- art and the aforementioned pair. We could have put Jean Carter in that list, but we think she belongs in the class with those irrepressible nuts, Emma Renn and Pidge, who furnish life and spirit enough and half enough wit for the rest of the class. Ask for the little person who puts things over, who works herself down to a string, and makes enviable marks, and you’ll be presented to Jane Wiley. Lib Calder is the athletic prop of the class, and does a winning job of it too. Lura Coffey is in the race be- cause of her literary ability and consistently good work, and Lillian Smith is right there because she is the typical soph—clever, likeable, interested in her college, and a swell girl. And then there’s that group which always backs everything so willingly and offers a helping hand—Martha Johnston, Helen Jordan, V. V. Taylor, Barbara Shatzer, Ruth Morrison, Julia Thomas, Dorothy Whitfield, and in fact, the rest of the class. And stop trying to pick THE leader.

HARD TIMES j _ STUDENT usually finds that her sophomore year is one of hard work and little glory. She is no longer a freshman, the pampered darling of the campus, but she’s not old enough in college years to be a leader. This is her year of apprenticeship, and at times she finds it very dis- heartening. But are our sophomores complaining this year or moping in corners? Not a bit of it. They have accepted their position and turned their year into just about the happiest of the four. They are carving a special and pri- vate niche for the sophomore class at Queens. They band together into the most cooperative group on the campus, and each student stands behind the leader. You may find them on campus much of the time forming the largest part of the attendance at meetings and entertainments. They realize that their time is not crowded with the activities of the upperclassmen, so the sophomores are making it their duty to be a responsive part of the student body. Who won the coveted cup at Stunt Night? Who was joint hostess for the most successful costume ball in the history of the college? Who initiated a sane Rat Week this year, the liveliest one yet?

I had forgotten how it would feel to sleep in the morning, visit the ice-box between meals, and scratch my dog’s head until I went home Christmas. And I’m so much more important there now because I’m a freshman at college. It was really hard to make it back here January 3rd. But everyone has been so full of her Christmas that it’s taken until now for us to calm down. And then the fire—Helen Malloy grabbing her clothes and Lib Maynard without hers. But no damage done. January 25: The real damage came to us the week of January 20. Fresh- men didn’t know what to expect and are still quaking. Somehow these didn’t seem like high school exams. And our grades won’t seem that way either. But we kept cool and we still think this the best college yet—exams, or no. January 30: Whew, I’m dead tired —just came in from a snow fight which we helped the juniors win. The seniors lost to us and were we proud when Dr. Frazer presented the cup to Mary Wilson. We frosh even got in the junior picture—and we deserved it! Speaking of juniors, Margaret Cal- der will make one lovely maid-of- honor for Bettie. She has the grace and perfect coloring for that coveted role. And since May Day is sponsored by the Athletic Association, it is fitting that a prominent athlete, and a beau- tiful one too be chosen for the Queen’s main attendant. February 14: And Valentine Night was a real one, with dates and every- thing. Juniors and freshmen were re- sponsible for a grand party which be- gan with a musical program in the auditorium and ended with ice-cream in the dining room. MEN flocked from out of the West and from every- where to meet the Females of the In- stitute anil they discovered that quite a few of the aforementioned were good to look at. Our array of Queens on the stage was a sight for any kind of eyes Mary Frances in gold tissue lame with a wreath of golden leaves in her curls, Jo Long in white with crystals, and Jean Orr in white with green jeweled belt—and each one, in fact, struck me as regal. Six of the nominees were brunettes, and only two were blondes! But a blonde won— and Jane Wiley in powder blue made a lovely queen. February 18. Last night was one big occasion for everyone, particularly for the seniors. For they brought Emory Glee Club here for a beautiful concert—and such harmony as I’ve never heard before. I didn't realize that each class spon- sored one entertainment each year, but if the programs are as unusual as last nights, I II gladly pay the price. Hope the seniors made plenty—Mary Phil- lips certainly worked hard to put it over. BY A FRESHMAN. ■[ 8 ] SNAPSHOTS It seems our camera gal doesn’t miss a trick—so mind your P's and O’s. Doodle and Courtney are probably looking up to see Hodge looking down to snap that next picture—or maybe they both passed their chemistry and feel like strutting. That appears to be a group of freshmen—how do we tell? Oh, they have on funny little caps, and they look worried over having their picture taken. That next is just a picture of the Music building for you to keep in case you ever forget about chapel. Aha! These three snaps tell a story. That ugly expres- sion on Doodle's face shows that she finds that studies in Burwell Hall and fun in Kappa Delta sorority house don’t always mix. Emma's singing, Marie is listening (pained expression), Madeline is—my word, she's chewing, and Courtney is only slightly amused. And Martha Johnston tells Martha Alexander to finish copying her notes by 1:30. Up above is a gal who really enjoys going to classes— Eleanor Burris- -just tickled to death with that load of books. And who’s pulling a Garbo behind her—hand over her face? Clyde will get her yet. Tricky shot of Blair Union—both doors open so that we see the front columns through the back door. Looks like you could take a running jump and go straight through—Spring fever! r 9 ] LEO-A PERSONAL APPRECIATION H UNDREDS of miles, from Car- negie Hall, New York, comes the music of the PATHETIC SYM- PHONY, Tschaikowski's Sixth. It fills the room with its beautiful har monies, bringing with it, this particu- lar Sunday evening, a kind of peace. And out of the music, comes a pic ture of a man sitting in the last row of the balcony in Symphony Hall in Boston, Leo, Professor Lewis, teacher of music. His handsome, white head, keeping time imperceptibly, now watches the players, and now bends to the score on his knees. On either side of him sit young people, his stu- dents. I am there, listening with him to a great classic. In some indefinable way, these students are absorbing some of his deep satisfaction. These students have spent many hours with him, and have partaken of his appreciation. How wonderful it is that a great teacher can thus pass a part of his love and understanding of beauty. I won- der how many tonight, of the men and women who studied with this man, are listening with me to this great music. How many of his students, now far away from those quiet college days, are listening, and remembering —Leo. In a Iow-ceilinged room, above the men's gymnasium, we studied Har- mony and Music Appreciation. Does he still teach in that room, I wonder? There, for the first time I heard this Tschaikowski Symphony. We had, what Leo called, Music Lab,” which meant that each student indulged in a weekly feast of good music. I ex- pect that the misnomer— lab” was consciously designed to delude us into thinking we were working. The term connoted something laborious. There in the music room, alone or in pairs, we were allowed to spend several hours playing Leo's piano rolls on the big concert grand with its cumbersome mechanical attachment on the front. We played Beethoven, Chopin, Mo- zart .... over and over again . . . . and Bach. For Leo was the proud possessor of Bach’s entire Well Tem- pered Clavichord, for pianola. Leo's house, on Professor's Row, is a place as familiar as his class room to his students. There they are always welcome. In the garden he’s often to be seen working, in old clothes, tend- ing his grapevines, his apple-trees and his garden. Inside the house is a jum- ble of books, music, pictures, and old programs. And there is always Mrs. Lewis ... I remember her playing her charming children's songs. . . The first time I went to Leo’s house during my freshman year is still very clear to me. It was a cold, late February af- ternoon. There had been classes all morning, and a dreary lab all after- noon. By six o’clock, I was very ready to return home, a tired day-student. But I could not. I was to play my 'cello that evening at some college affair .... And then Leo happened along. His twinkling eyes appraised me, my brief case, my 'cello, my tiredness. Come on home to dinner,” he said to me . . . And I did. French with Leo, (for he taught French then, too), my Freshman year, was a course I greatly enjoyed. It was upstairs in Ballou Hall. In the back row, one of the men students came always accompanied by his dog, a highly trained animal. When the time came for Leo to give out the assign- ment, this particular student—his name is long ago forgotten—used to kick his dog. Thereupon the poor ani mal gave out a pathetic noise, some- thing between a howl and a very human groan . . . (Often when I give a particularly long assignment in my own classes today, I think of that stu- dent and his vicarious groans. But luckily no dogs are allowed in my classroom.) Then there was Leo’s yel- low booklet containing his famous 1010 idioms beginning avoir beau- coup a faire and ending le Tiers- Etat.” I learned them, every one, in my daily commuting, to the accom- paniment of subway screeches and pounding wheels . . . But there was much beside French in that class—his reminiscences and philosophy, his zest for things. But Music Appreciation and Har- mony were the courses where Leo was at his best. How I enjoyed them! Some- times he would tell of his travels abroad when he was a young man. Once he told of visiting the Bayreuth theatre and listening to the great Rich- ard Wagner direct. Apparently visi- tors were not allowed at rehearsals, but somehow I.co had managed to get in. Especially interested was I when he told of hiding behind a pillar to watch the maestro conduct. The Leo we knew could never conceal himself behind a pillar, unless it was more than usually large. I wondered what he had been like as a slender youth. And once we saw Leo angry. Before the class bell had struck, we were gathered about the piano listening to one of the men students play Yes, We Have No Bananas” Leo came striding in. He cast a baleful eye on the performer and then delivered a [10] free opinion of that jazz classic of stolen melodies. The thousands of dol- lars it had earned, he said, belonged to the composers from whom the writer had pilfered. How he hated that piece! Leo’s systems” were our great amusement. He had so many. There were signs all about the music room giving directions for opening and closing doors and windows, and for putting things away. . . . And the music room key! Attached to a board the size of a shingle there was no possibility of its ever being lost. Of all the incidents I remember, 1 like this one best. It happened in our Music Appreciation course. All year we had been studying Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, and others, and for our final examination we were supposed to recognize snatches from some of the classics of these composers which we had studied. We were all some- what worried about the examination. Heavens only knew what obscure pas- sages he might select for us to remem- ber. . . . The examination day came. Leo seated his great person before his tiny, portable piano, and played va- rious passages as he had promised. Then he said to us: I am going to play something now that I don't believe you have ever heard before. When I finish play- ing it, I want you to write the name of the composer you think might have written it. Give full explanation for your choice.” Then he played a charming num- ber. I liked it immediately. It was short, dainty, light, melodic. ... I mentally went over the list of compos- ers we had studied. One of the earlier ones, I thought. I believe that I wrote that Mozart had written it, and then proceeded to prove my choice. I wrote long pages about why Mozart had written this piece. After class we students hastily compared answers as students do. One of my classmates calmly insisted that Beethoven was definitely the composer. Another ob- jected, It was Haydn.” I had by this time quite convinced myself that Mo- zart was the right one. . . . After awhile, my curiosity got the better of me. I walked down Professor’s Row and rang Leo's bell. Who wrote that music, Professor Lewis?” 1 asked. I remember that twinkle in his eye, and his wide smile. My child,” he told me, I wrote that music.” I didn’t see him correcting our ex- amination papers. I wish I had. What amusement he must have had at our extravagant praises. Later we had the opportunity' to hear him receive some real apprecia- tion. The Peoples Symphony Orches- tra had played his Blot on the Es- cutcheon and in answer to a pro- longed applause, Leo rose from the box where he was sitting. No timid, shrinking composer was this to rise and make an anti-climax to his music. He was a marvelous figure standing there. Leonine, his white head, and van dyke beard gleaming. He was majestic, radiant, a richly colored Rembrandt. Leo’s trick of using ponderous words was always a source of great enjoyment to me. Never would he let one word do the work of four. He preferred the four. Sometimes in class. I’d attempt to take down verbatim, his inimitable sentences. They became so involved, twisting about until you believed he could never extricate him- self. I think part of my enjoyment of his classes was the unraveling of his tremendous phrases. He wrapped his thoughts in layer after layer of words. It was fun to unwrap them. How he enjoyed words! Sometimes he would stop in sheer delight at his discovery of an apt phrase. . . . His explanation of Til Eulenspiegal was a masterpiece. Once he gave a Sunday afternoon lecture at the Boston Public Library. I played in an octette that time, I re- member. And then Leo began to lec- ture. How' I enjoyed watching those people, their mouths hanging open at this burst of language. Words, three- feet long, came tumbling out. Great, periodic sentences trailed off into no- where. But they were impressed, I can tell you. I longed to tell them it was all a game, and that the listener was to try to get these ideas untangled. . . . But they were too much dazzled by Leo. They were content to watch him gesticulate and send out these marvelous words. I doubt very much that they understood what he was say- ing, at all. They were content to bask in the sun of all this erudition. Some years after my graduation 1 attended Tufts Night at Symphony Hall because I knew that Leo was go- ing to direct. There he was with his baton ... a little thin, I thought, but still filled with unquenchable fire. I imagined I saw a look in the upturned faces of those symphony players, as if, they too recognized his greatness. They seemed to be paying him homage. Later he was in the hallway sur- rounded by his students. . . . Catching sight of me, he called out, Oh, hello, can you come to the house and see a new ’cello. I’ve just got?”. . . . This was his greeting. . . and it had been so many years. . . He made them sound like a number of weeks. . . . He is timeless, I thought. Looking at the eager students crowding about him, 1 wished that I could once more go with him to the Symphony concerts, and sit beside him in the last row of the balcony ( Best seats in the house! ) Now these young students were going with him. . . . Sitting beside him as he spread the score on his knees. I have spoken of these things as though they were in the past. . . So they are to me. . . . But Leo is the present. ... I am grateful to him.

The council has as its purpose the establishment of unity among the honorary fraternities which results in a co-operative spirit on the part of each member of an honorary club. Through the efforts of this council interesting programs on travel have been presented at the college this year. This has been a project in which every honorary group at Queens has taken a part. The first of these lectures was given by Dr. M. A. Gra- ham, who spoke on Norway, the Beautiful.” Dr. Graham, advisor for Phi Beta Chi and for this council, spent last summer traveling through Norway and Finland. Her lec- ture was illustrated by means of the delineascope whicn the Inter-Honorary council is purchasing with the proceeds from the lectures. The next travel lecture was given by Dr. Lucile K. De- lano on Moorish Influence on Spain.” Dr. Delano is ad visor for the Spanish Club. The latest lecture was on Rome, ■ the Eternal City.” Miss Alma T. Edwards, faculty member of the Latin Club, was the speaker. The lectures will con- tinue for the remainder of the year. The aim of the council, which is manifested by the lectures, is to enable young women to fully appreciate the arts, classics, and sciences, to endow them with a capacity for understanding them, and to inspire them so that they voluntarily seek them.” Miss Mary Frances Ehrlich is president of the 1935-36 Inter-Honorary Fraternity council.

[16] SNAPSHOTS That was some snow—Hodge and Courtney are trying to make that 11 o’clock class, by borrowing the Park Place taxi. And are those cuties from the Institute? To be suah—but who is the daring miss, third in line? Here's the original girl flying on the flagpole, and Mrs. Wilson caught in the act of collecting bottles. A pretty snow scene of Burwell, and a solitary Mr. Monroe on back campus. No won- der Ruth Knee caught flu—the idea of sleeping through three classes in the snow. That third gal was Emma—this pic- ture proves it. Two bosses—and mighty good ones—Grover and Phillips. Those benches make this look like a deserted picnic ground. Oh, my—classes so early that the girls don’t finish breakfast. Betsy gives all of hers to Nancy who seems pretty anxious to get it. And Lucy, Nell and Martha take it very seriously.

The storms that spent themselves in early day Have left a cleaner calmer peace The showers of afternoon have gone away At last the daylight has its own release. The fear and trouble of the day are gone And night draws on with true assurance sweet The twilight gives away to night alone For day without the night is incomplete. One lives a life a day so full and free Then sleeps to wait God’s Great Eternity. LOIS D. WILSON. A PRAYER FOR COURAGE Oh! Father God, and Lord of Grace I humbly bow in prayer. Remove my weakness. In its place Implant pure courage there. Renew my heart and make it strong New duties come my way Give me courage to see the wrong And meet each coming day. For days seem often hard and long My cross so hard to bear So now ’tis for a smile and song I offer up my prayer. Oh, teach me that thy ways are right And life must still go on— The darkest hours of all the night Come just before the dawn.” Oh, Father, give me courage new, And may I live for Thee I need thy help and thy strength too So stay thou close to me. Amen. LOIS WILSON. LET ME LIVE OUT OF DOORS Let me live out of doors the whole day through, In autumn, when the days are bright When the world is a song in color And the color is at its height. Let me live out of doors and feel the wind As it rushes gaily by Shouting its song the whole day long, As happy and carefree as I. Let me live out of doors and feel the leaves As they drift so slowly down Each bringing a different color To a carpet for the ground. Let me live out of doors and know the sweetness of the world just after rains Let me know the beauty and completeness Of all the powers the world contains. Let me live out of doors where the world is at peace And beauty and nature are free Out in the open where I can commune With God and He with me. LOIS D. WILSON. “COLO R” White, the tiny cottage.

[18] “HOME OF THE BLACK MAN” Through the dark and tangled jungle Echoes far the leopard’s cry Rivaled by the heavy crash Of a reckless elephant herd. Murmurs low and chattered whispers Spread in awesome tension ’round. Onward through the mighty forest Till with glaring burst of light Part regretfully the trees Around a stream in headlong race. Hushed are now the jungle’s echoes. Hear the river’s rapid rush, O’er its torrents low-dipping palms With graceful spread of fringed arms. Stretched upon the distant sand bank Lies the basking crocodile With wary, watchful eye. With guttural grunt the hippo Lumbers to the river's edge, Heavily splashes and submerges. Struggling ’gainst the wilful current Black men wield their frail canoes In faultless rhythm dip they the oars, Flinging out a diamond spray. Struggling, struggling on and winning Now victorious—glide the Black Men To the jungle-tangled shore. O’er the river rolls the rumble Of the steady-beating tom-tom Hear it thunderously proclaim: This the home. This the realm, Of the Black Man!

The cold white storms Stirred by no soft breeze. But the only storm that Causes one alarm Is the brainstorm I have Near your electric charm. BY MARGARET DUCKETT. I’LL P R E T E N D Why do I feel so lonely Tired, and downhearted too, What is this dull aching pain That comes when the day is through? I know that I do not love you— At least, I’m making believe My thoughts have risen above you My love is on reprieve. I pretend so well in broad daylight With duties and tasks to do But the thought that fills me every night Is how much I really miss you. But—it’s been a joy to love you. My longing and pain will go If I keep on trying to forget you. But why must it go so slow? BY LOIS WILSON DAYS A setting sun—a western sky, A curfew tolled—a day passed by. How many thoughts, how many tasks Have been to naught myself I ask. I close my eyes but still I see Lost opportunity on life’s dark sea. A rising sun—an eastern sky, A gay cock crows—a new day’s nigh, Filled with thoughts, filled with tasks. Look to the future not to the past I use my eyes to see the best, To do the wise, forget the rest. MARY LOUISE CURRIE. [19] THE LIVING HORACE A CELEBRATION in which the whole world took part has just been completed. Practically all the civilized nations have joined in doing honor to a man born 2,000 years ago, but whose influence is still alive, molding the thought and adding to the happiness of all who read and study him. This man is a son of Italy born 65 years before Christ. His name is Quin- tus Horatius Flaccus, known by the friendly name of Horace. For our pur- pose it is necessary to say but little of his life except to show that he was born of poor parents, yet in spite of very humble surroundings he arrived at greater fame than any other man of his day, with the possible exception of Virgil. His father, though poor, spared no pains to educate his son, just as Horace in his more mature years spared no words in his expres- sion of gratitude for such a father. By the time of his 23rd birthday he had studied in Italy’s capital, in Ath- ens, where high born young men were his companions, and was ready to enter upon his career. His ready wit, his common sense, his sane philosophy of life soon won for him the friendship of the best men of his time, and such high lights as Maecenas, Virgil, and even Augustus himself became his close companions and friends. From them he gained inspiration, and what was equally necessary—his Sabine farm. He lived only 57 years, but when one thinks of all the people he knew and touched intimately, of the journeys he made at a time when few men travelled, of the leisure he had for musing and chatting and writing, his life seems to be of quite normal length. And so we leave the simple facts of Horace’s life and pass on to his works, for it is to his poetry that we must look if we are to discover that lasting monument of which he writes. His works fall into three divisions: Satires, Odes, and Epistles. In his satires Horace is an interpre- ter of life. Although he satirizes peo- ple, their habits, their customs, and life in general, he does it in a joking sort of way. He knows that quite often a joke may settle weighty matters bet- ter than a sharp rebuke. The dominant note of the satires is good humor. He satirizes a class rather than an in- dividual and a sin rather than a sinner. The names that he invented by which he denoted some particular types of people afford an interesting study— Grab-all for borrower; Rich-hard for a wealthy skinflint; Newly for an upstart. These names remind one of the names of characters in the early English drama; and even today we find names of this sort in our comic sheets. The two most famous satires are entitled The Bore” and A Trip to Brundisium.’’ Both of these are de- lightful reading. The Bore episode causes the reader to smile at an ex- perience that he himself has had. Times are quite the same and bores are still in pursuit. The Trip to Brun- disium” makes one feel that he is actually a member of the party which is traveling from Rome to Brundisium. Indeed, the journey is so vividly de- scribed with all the attendant pleas- ures and discomforts—the sting of mosquitoes and the croaking of frogs —that during the summer of 1935 a pilgrimage was made by a group of lovers of Horace over the 350 miles of the Appian way along the route which Horace and his friends followed in their journey from Rome to Brun- disium in 38 B. C. It was, however, Horace’s odes which at once raised him to the front rank of Roman poets and assured his fame. They are really little songs and beautiful gems. As a master in lyric form Horace is unexcelled among Roman poets. One simple theme after another he weaves into his lovely pat- terns. Carpe Diem,” seize your op- portunity, Seek Not Riches,” Till the Soil, and Plant the Vine,” Live Worthy of the Gods,” Pile High the Logs on Winter’s Hearth,” Seek Peace of Heart,” Tempt Not the Gods,” Have Courage and Fidelity.” These lines and hundreds more have become maxims and household words for lovers of Horace. It was natural that six years after the publication of his three books of odes he should be chosen by Augustus to compose the Carmen Saeculare to be sung at the Roman games held in 17 B. C. in honor of Rome’s growth and greatness. This is an ode written to order to be sung by a chorus of youths and maidens. During the bimil- lenary festival the Carmen Saeculare was produced and sung at Rome and at Horace’s birthplace, Venusia. The Epistles reveal Horace as a moralist and a literary critic. Some of the epistles are genuine letters such as one friend might write to another; others are simple disquisitions in verse form on questions of life, letters, or philosophy.” The longest of Horace’s poems and the one that approaches nearest to the character of a formal treatise is the Ars Poetica. It is largely didactic. In it Horace summarizes three princi- ples for authors—only write if you have the flair; submit your work to competent opinion; keep it by you for four years before publication. Many literary critics have found their inspiration here. Through his works Horace has lived for 2,000 years. His influence can be traced from its beginning during his life time up to the present. His popu- larity during his own day has been especially attested to by the fact that he was chosen to write the Saecular Hymn for use in the greatest religious and patriotic festival of the times. Then, too, he lived to see his own works introduced as texts in Roman schools. It is rather amusing to read Horace’s tenth Satire, where he makes fun of those producers of verse who aspire to have their published works used as textbooks to teach the ignorant how to write. Are you foolish enough to prefer that your songs be dictated [20] in the commonest schools? That surely is not my ambition.” And yet, poor Horace is best known in the class- room ! In the times immediately following his lifetime Horace had many imitators and there were many critics and inter- preters of his works. During the Mid- dle Ages with all the change and tur- moil Horace was not lost. The works of this pagan poet were preserved in the monasteries. Then at the begin- ning of the 11th century we have direct evidence that he is being used in the schools. In the 12th century in general acquaintance with Horace among cultivated men may be taken for granted. But the 13th and 14th centuries mark a decline in intellectual life. This decline in humane studies meant also a decline of interest in Horace. We know that a purchaser wanting to buy a copy of Horace in 1370 is apparently unable to find it. This lack of interest was arrested only by the Rebirth of Learning. There was an intellectual movement back to the classical authors and the classical civili- zations. Horace entered into new life. For 400 years now it can hardly be denied that Horace rather than Virgil has been the representative Latin poet of humanism. This does not mean that Horace is greater than Virgil, or that he is as great. Virgil is still the poet of stately movement and of beautiful narrative, and the poet of the grand style. He remained the admired, but Horace became the friend. Professor Duff says, While Virgil wins admir- ers, Horace wins friends.” And this is as Horace would have wished it for he says, Nothing while in my right mind would I compare to the delight of a friend.” Wherever Horace has been read he has left a happy memory of himself and an inspiration for sane and truthful living. Down to the present there have been about 90 English translations of com- plete Odes of Horace, 70 German, 100 French, and 48 Italian. Indeed, there have been more translations or at- tempts to translate him than is the case with any other author. But Horace is really an untranslatable poet. His dic- tion, meter, and arrangement of words is so perfect that after him no Latin lyric poet arose who was worthy of the name. Still, he is the most quoted and the most quotable of Latin poets. Horace’s influence on English writ- ers has been immense. Showerman says, Wordsworth has an intimate famili- arity with Virgil, Catullus, and Hor- ace, but loves Horace best; Coleridge thinks highly of his literary criticism; Byron, who was greatly fond of him, frequently quotes him; Shelley reads him with pleasure; Browning’s Ring and the Book contains many quota- tions from him; Thackeray makes use of phrases from the Odes with an ease and facility which only close intimacy could produce; Andrew Lang ad- dresses to him the most charming of his Let levs to Dead Authors; and Aus- tin Dobson is inspired by him in many of his exquisite poems in lighter vein. What of his influence on our own American authors? The poets Field, Untermeyer, and Franklin P. Adams show by their works that they have in- timate knowledge of Horace. What is more surprising is the fact that we find clear traces of his influence on such American writers as Emerson, James Huneker, Longfellow and Edgar Al- lan Poe. Huneker, who died only in 1922 and who was one of America’s greatest critics of art, music, and liter- ature, writes in his autobiography, Horace is ever at my elbow.” Poe used Odes of Horace to support his own theories of composition and refers to Horace as dear Quinty.” Thus we see that Horace and his influence are at work even at the present time. Why has Horace lived for 2,000 years influencing in so marked a way life and literature? Is it not that his works have a universal and an eternal appeal? He is the interpreter of life, not only of his own times, but of all times. He knows human nature. He says not only are all men the victims of insatiable desire, but all are alike subject to the uncertainties of fate. The soldier, the lawyer, the farmer, the trader, sweep over the earth in the passion for gain, like dust in a whirl- wind—all are dissatisfied. And Death f 21 ] lurks in readiness to seize each. But if man is wise he may find enjoyment in life. The first step toward this en- joyment of the human lot is acquies- cence ; the second, to make wise use of life's advantages. Take advantage of the day and put no faith in the mor- row. Yet Horace’s counsel is always for moderation. He is not a wine- bibber, and he is not a total abstainer. Love is a contribution to life’s pleas- ure; do not abuse it. Horace locates the sources of happiness in his own breast. Real happiness consists in peace of mind and heart. Horace is of ex- ceeding value as an influence in the formation of a philosophy of life, of- fering to his readers a healthy founda- tion on which to build their own philosophy. Horace well deserves the honors that are being heaped upon him on this bimillennial occasion. And yet another element enters into the Italian back- ground of the celebration. The Insti- tute of Roman Studies, which had a large part in the preparation of the program, is engaged in reviving the use of Latin as a universal language. Is there a better means to this end than a revival of interest in a Roman poet whom many people have at some time or other read and loved ? Now organized in all the larger Italian cities the Institute has enlisted the cooperation of a number of similar societies abroad in addition to the for- eign schools and societies established in Rome. Some of the activities of the Institute are the compilation of a Latin dictionary' of Latin equivalents for the modern technical terms of banking, in- surance, and the sciences; the produc- tion of summaries in Latin of the pro- ceedings of International Congresses. Here then lies the very practical aim behind the widespread celebration ol Horace’s bimillenary. So with grateful heart we repeat his tribute: I shall not wholly die; nay, I shall for the most part escape the funeral goddess, nor shall I cease to be reborn again and again, my glory always in- creasing.” BY ROBERTA KILGORE.

She came to us only this year, but stories of her ability and charms drifting over the Tennes- see mountains placed her in student government work last fall. Then when proof of her talents was exhibited here, Andy” became a household word. It was Andy, fix the posters, Andy make a speech, or Andy write a short story. Always serving her college in one way or another, always doing small favors for her friends, and always fairminded and tolerant—that is Andy. Add note- worthy scholarship, the pleasantest manner imaginable, and the title of president of the Boarding Student Body—and that is Margaret Anderson. She has that rare combination of qual- ities found only in the true leaders— a willingness to perform the most in- significant of tasks and a talent for producing the most artistic and pains- taking of work. M AIKV F. EIIIKEM II. because in our opinion she is the love- liest member of the senior class and her nature is by no means eclipsed by her appearance. Seldom does one find a beautiful girl with an even disposi- tion who also knows the meaning of work. Too often a charming person feels that charm and affableness are enough to carry her through life, and that may be so, but Mary Frances feels differently. From the first she has co- operated splendidly, both as a day student and as a boarder. But when she lived on the campus, the students really began to know the sincerity and ear- nestness that are hers. Her work with the honorary fraternities will always be remembered as an evidence of effort on her part to do something for her college. She is a leader of the most admirable kind—a quiet leader who has led herself into the hearts of her classmates. M A IKY 1 111 EMI'S and nothing could give us greater ' pleasure! If ever there was an ener ! getic creature with the pulling power 1 of a locomotive, the fire of a volcano, I and the disposition of a lamb (after the eruption of the volcano) it is our |a senior class president. Although she l worries herself sick about her fifty-two i children, nothing suits her better than r. buying their little blue jackets, taking them on picnics, blessing them out for not minding her, and waiting on them hand and foot (in the bookroom). ji,i Even when she gets worried about the L financial condition of her family she L still remembers to chuckle, because j nothing can dampen her cheerful spin its for very long. But she has decided ( that the strain is telling on her, so in a week or two, she's sending her kids out into the world to make their own 1 fortunes. Mama Phillips intends to let loose and enjoy life. [ 2 ] “GRECIAN CUSTOMS” ERHAPS this subject is too intangible to be written ibout. It is certainly foreign to the policies of the _ORONET to treat of such a topic. But certain liberties ire being taken, because sororities are featured in this ssue and because sororities need a severe reprimanding. We have lost sight of our college, our friendships, and lurselves when we allow the love of power and protn- nence for our Greek society to dictate to our better udgment. We are forgetting that if we fight tooth and ail for anything, it must be for Queens-Chicora College r for a true sister, or for our characters, but never for symbol of fraternal bonds that we have made farcical. Jothing could be finer or purer than our sorority ritu- ls, all urging the development of the highest type of 'omanhood. No vows are ever taken with any more ncerity or righteous desire than these. But what happens to us? Our strength of purpose is irned into another channel, and we spend four years ying for dear old Beta Kappa, in the most ruthless of ways -politicing. Nothing is quite so important as getting a eta into office—not even a sense of honor or justice, et, take us out of this poll box and all of us are charm- ig people. On Sunday nights before the open fires, nging our songs, we are the most delightful of persons, eling nothing but good will and real fellowship for e Gammas next door. We ourselves cannot explain I is phenomena, and we despise the other side of the 3 ] picture. But the trouble lies in our own hearts, and what is so close to us is hard to discern. We have allowed our true sorority spirit of loyalty to become enmeshed in petty trivial matters and it seems impossible for us to tear down this false feeling and erect a w'orthy one in its place. But there is a way and it was suggested by a sorority woman. We must place our fierce loyalty, our unflagging devotion in one common object, so that all differences and jealousies will vanish. Each of us must feel strongly for the same sorority and place our hope and trust in one ideal. Together we shall stand; divided we have fallen. And where should we turn for our common bond but to our college? It is possible to know the same love for our college as for our sorority, and it is far more natural. Our col- lege is the emblem of our four years of joy and sorrow, knowledge and blunders, unrest and indescribable peace. The name QUEENS-CHICORA should recall to us our most thrilling moments and our days of greatest joy. Now, the name does not stand for any of those things, for our sorority has taken the place of the college in our hearts, and the sorority is a usurper. It is the task of each of us to remedy this error by restoring our college to her pedestal, and by keeping the sorority on the ground.

PROMING Anything that goes over with as much bang and pep as Tunior-Senior did this year is worthy of a few comments before the end of the year. As usual there were a few members of the class who undertook most of the responsibility, and really put on the affair, but the success of the prom was due to the cooperation (over-worked word) of every junior. Prom” was the only word that could elicit a response from a junior weeks before the event, and putting it over” was the only phrase they could understand. Here’s why it went over—a real genuine invitation for each senior and another for her escort—the word formal” which assured all of a date in a tux and a corsage- the atmosphere of a night-club, implanted by the hat check booth, and smiling hostess—that first breathtaking view of an isle of Paradise, dimly illuminated by silver stars in a tropical sky, wfith palm trees swaying in the background—a soft vision of midnight blue and exotic emerald—the S of the banquet table, bedecked with Spring flowers—soft sweet strains of music— scraping of chairs followed by the clinking of silver—followed by praise of the feast—the attention given to small details, such as the favors and the pro- grams—the lovely glow given to eager faces by the candlelight—the looks exchanged by many of the visitors to Paradise—the very attractive toastmistress whose jokes went over—the enjoyable program of song and dance—the new' diminu- tive senior president who was charming and unaffected at news of the honor- the becoming costumes of the tray-handlers—the presence of three guests who enjoyed themselves—five-minute dates, reminiscent of parties way back when—-lanterns on side-campus—strolls along quiet, secluded (?) paths— punch and candy—bobby-pinned heads hanging out of Morrison windows— sailors dancing wdth each other on the deserted ballroom floor—swirling chif- fons, sheer organdys, cobwebby laces, pastel shades, fragrant flowers, smiling faces, and tall straight forms in black and white—MEN! f 9 ] JUNIOR SKETCHES Jane Ellen Taylor—Little gir! playing grown-up; big brown eyes, wavy hair, almost russet, and a real grin—at- tractive—honor student.

And quickly o’ershadowing my view, Make my whole world fall into pieces— They are memories, my Darling, of you. Thoughts of the joys and the heartaches, The pain and the pleasure we knew; The days and the nights filled with wonder. The days and the nights that were blue. And in my heart there’s a yearning; In my eyes, a curious burning; In my mind, a certain discerning That I still, my Darling, love you. SUE MAXWELL MAULDIN.

T H E R I V E R Life, like a river, starts out as a feeble stream Straight and pure from the depths of Mother Earth, Down the mountains and across the plains it goes Slowly at first, and in a beef prepared by nature— Then gathers momentum, sand and sticks for Other streams flow into it enlarging the river. It goes on swirling, swiftly rushing, It waters the fields as it passes by, giving life. It mercilessly carries a million things in its path On and on it rushes, madly driven by a mysterious force Then when at last it has watered the thirsty earth It surges into the vast sea to become an infinity. LOIS WILSON. RAIN The rain fell gently down And softly covering the parched ground Brought release. Release from the heat and the drought That held the earth, until fear and doubt Possessed all. But then the rain began to fall Bringing release. The earth now opened weary eyes And saw in the ugly, darkened skies A splendor unlooked for, unseen As down the rain in silvery sheen Brought release. ANONYMOUS.

And every one would give all the credit to Miss Inglis, who knows her own business, and minds it nicely. Louise Ei.rod—slender brunette who is always glad to see everybody; Georgian drawl, but a so- phisticated appearance; school teacher in a beauty contest. Ruby Lingle—Dainty, soft-voiced—a smile as glowing as her name—will make a neat and effi- cient secretary, as w'ell as a decorative one.

[ 12 ] Student Government Officers The five girls pictured above form as enthusiastic and capable a group as can be found at Queens-Chicora. Each one has distinguished herself in a particular field, and has received the office most suited to her talents. The students of the college are fortunate to have such a just and able student government board as they. Jean Orr is a true president, a believer in right and equal- ity. From her first year at Queens-Chicora she has been regarded by her classmates as a sincere friend and a brave leader, standing out from the mass of students as an indi- vidual. What is right and best for Queens-Chicora College will have her stamp of approval during her presidency. Margaret Anderson has always responded when called upon, and she will continue to do so. Her remarkable tal- ents have won her a reputation as a clever, original person, and she willingly lends her time and abilities to the college. The boarding student body, to the girl, admires and loves Andy”. As that body’s president, she will command its (respect. Loise Thompson is one of the few persons who does all of her work well. She refuses to leave matters unfinished, and a word is sufficient to enlist her services. No one could be of greater help to the now weak day student organization than Loise, who will put her Charlotte sisters, as a united body, on the same level as the boarders. She is the leader for them. Adeline Kilgore is president of an association in which she has worked as a member of all teams. She has the vim and energy necessary for a leader of athletes, and the skill necessary for a good player. There is no doubt but that she will make our college more athletic-conscious next year, and bring the students out to encourage, if not to partici- pate in, the games. Elsie Setzer is the new president of the Student Christian Association because she, and she alone, can give this organ- ization the spirit and guidance it needs. Her honest en- deavor, her unfailing strength of conviction, make her par- ticularly well suited to lead the S. C. A. to the students. Elsie will make the body as important as any other group here, and give to it its rightful place, while she is carrying on the work. [ 13] Graduates of Queens-Chicora Col- lege have been successful in the various careers they have chosen. Mrs. Mildred Morse McEwen, ’22, came back to Queens as a professor in chemistry after receiving her M. A. at the University of North Carolina. She likes teaching chemistry because, well, she likes chemistry. Too, she says that constant association with young people keeps one from feeling too old herself. Miss Eloise Rankin, also a Queens graduate, is Supervisor of the Elemen- tary Schools in Mecklenburg County. Her work, she says, is varied and in- teresting; she visits the schools of the county and helps the teacher besides having much office work. However, what she likes most of all about her profession is her contact with young people throughout the county. Her work, too, offers a fine opportunity for service. Miss Anne Pierce, head librarian of the Charlotte Public Library, is a Queens graduate. She says that, in her way of thinking, there is no nicer work nor any better way of making a living than being a librarian. The opportu- nities for service, she says, are limitless. She gives three requisites for a success- ful librarian: a love of people, a love of books, and joy in service. Miss Miriam Steele, salutatorian of the class of ’35, has decided to become a laboratory technician. She is now working towards this end by taking a course in I)r. Harvey P. Barrett's office. Miss Rena Harrell, 1912, is, as you all know, our own college libra rian. She received her M. A. in English at the University of North Carolina and studied library cataloging and li- brary management at Columbia Uni- versity. Last spring Miss Harrell did research work in the Congressional Li- brary on one of her favorite subjects, the worship of the animals at the na- tivity scene. She, too, has traveled. When she was abroad a few years ago, she became interested in England—not so much in the people as in the peace- fulness of the countryside. Miss Har- rell enjoys golf and plays a very good game but she says that she is a very poor swimmer. Her pet belief is, she tells us, that it pays to be casual if one can. [14] Mrs. Phillip Evans Bostick, ’31, I who was Miss Adelaide Graham Kues- f ter before her marriage last summer, is j receptionist and color artist at Ivey’s ill Photograph Department. She has been j there practically ever since her gradua- I tion and she likes it the best in the I world, because besides the art work j she comes in contact with so many dif- I ferent people. Everyone loves the genial quietness | of the Charlotte Book Shop. Pervading I its atmosphere is the personality of J Mrs. Eilzabeth Chambers Holt, a | graduate of 1909. Naturally she had II 1 a love for books and a great interest in people. Those,” she said, are the requisites for enjoying a book shop. i Besides that, she said, it is necessary to ; be a good housekeeper since the ap- | pearance of the shop is an important factor. It is one of the most delight- ful and pleasurable vocations for one who loves books.” Miss Mary Harrell, 1916, is now teaching shorthand at the Woman’s College of the University of North Carolina. Prior to this she taught English in the Greensboro High School for ten years. Since her graduation she has studied extensively, including sec- retarial work at the Katherine Gibbs School in New York. Miss Harrell is well qualified for her position not only because of her English training and secretarial work but because of her culture. She has traveled a great deal throughout the United States and is planning to go to Europe during the summer of 1937 with her sister. Miss Rena Harrell. There’s a great fascination about a science which is ever developing; one by which we may interpret a cause and relieve suffering. This is why I studied medicine.” Dr. Margaret Bucknor, who was graduated from the old Presbyterian College in 1912, is still absorbed in her work which tc her is a pleasure. She encourages any who are interested in human nature and who possess a great love of medicine to go further in a field which yields such service to humanity. She, herself, worked her way through medical school by nursing and says it is worth every bit of the midnight oil she burned.

By the back door of a straw roofed shack Stone steps lead to a sluggish canal Where ducks quack, Where sea-weeds drip from sunning racks, Where rice is dipped in reed sacks, Where clothes are beaten clean with wooden placks, Where banks catch waves from oar-carved tracks. As dusk veils evening and skies grow black Dogs bay, in cringing penance to the zodiac. And where are the woods? No heavy trees— Only clumps of grasses stalked with slender slick-stemmed bamboo. Above a cobblestone mountain path their leaves lisp ado. From the depth of a bamboo dell Tolls a monastery bell. IONE SMITH. March 2: . . and the Juniors keep the cup”; thus, nds the final chapter of the book How to Play Basketball, re plot of which centered around the final struggle between re Juniors and Seniors. It was a close game, even if the eniors had to improvise a human dressing room in the I riddle of the court! Final score 24-11 in favor of the I rniors. I March 5: . . . Footlights. . . . Grease paints. . . . j mights in armor. . . . And we are carried to a fantastic l.nd of princesses, Prince Charmings, an' everything! lats off to Miss King and the Dramatic department for a ively presentation of Once in a Palace”, a three-act com- lly sponsored by the Junior Class! t March 17: Big election days—and the school goes wild I'ain! But to think, Juniors, we have at last grown old lough for the other classes to look around and take notice us—yes, at last, the Big Five must come from our group, rt don't think we didn’t have the quality to fill those fices. Well, the votes were counted, and Jean Orr is losen to lead us for the coming year. To think, that three !ars ago she was tramping around the campus with the st of us, burdened with broom stick, dust pan, leuhorns i d what not. Yeah, There's Something About a Soldier And Margaret Anderson, Loise Thompson, Elsie Setzer, and Adeline Kilgore are chosen to carry on the good work of their predecessors. April 1: The Juniors score another with The Easter Parade”, style show given in the form of a skit written by Margaret Anderson, Loise Thompson, and Lib Maynard. I didn't know there were so many queens on the campus who figured so well! Mary Louise, where’d you find that rabbit foot you had hidden in your pocket? I'd like to know if it meant getting a new Easter frock! April 8: The Sophs gave us a treat by bringing the Davidson Glee Club here. What could have been a nicer p. g. (parting gift) to the girls going home for spring hol- idays? April 9-15: Spring vacation! Once more it's a great feeling to park your feet under your own table, sleep in the mornings, and throw aside books. Throw aside books! did I hear a certain Soph say? Well, you shouldn’t have put off that term paper until spring holidays. April 16: Talent night rolls around—again the Juniors sponsor a worthwhile enterprise. It's a shame we’ve al- lowed such talent to be hidden so long—any school would be proud of such representatives of fine arts. April 18: Last Junior Class meeting for the purpose of winding up big business—election of editor-in-chief of the annual for the coming year; last plans and preparations for the occasion of the year—Junior-Senior banquet; and class elections. As the end of our Junior life draws nigh, come on, Juniors, let's give Loise a great big hand in apprecia- tion of her noble leadership of the class of '37. A JUNIOR. Elizabeth Maynard Chairman Junior-Senior Prom HERE AND THERE This priceless snap was found in the files, and the tempta- tion was too great. This, girls, is a before picture illustrat- ing what can happen after . Clare, then a simple school girl, thrilled by a letter from one of the fellers, is now a photog- rapher’s model in the Big City, thrilling any number of fellers. So Ora Lee is going home! And she means it, too—look at the way she has that umbrella planted, and that dainty little foot patting the ground. There’s nothing stopping her, and from that dimple in her cheek, Old .Blue Bird must be round- ing the corner. Somebody saw It Happened One Night —and profited by it. Now, little darlings, of the Female Institute, is that what you've been taught? I should hope not—can't you give it more come-hither than that—Miss Cathey is the only one who seems to have her heart in the work. Whew! Something went wrong at that Alpha Gam meet- ing, and Mary Wilson is decidedly put out about it. Of course we wouldn't know, but maybe she was told that she had the feed” for next Sunday night. And then again, she may be frowning at Hodge because she dislikes publicity. Now, looker here—when did Ginger Rogers make a visit to our campus? Isn't she the sweetest thing—so unaffected and simple. Certainly is a natty spring outfit she has on. Who said that was Jean Stough? Say—can't you recognize a good- looking movie star like Ginger! Naw”—sezs Myrtle— that's a lotta college hash” (mean- ing nothing right about it”). Look Marlene over—she’s the real stuff . Myrtle is pointing to the divine Griffith’s dimpled knee—but the censors thought it wise to cut this snap Sorry— [24] AT QUEENS - CHICO R A Introducing the winner of the first prize from Queens- Chicora at the textile exposition—Martha, we can't blame the judges—it s a lovely suit. And this picture would make a swell advertisement for a competent housewife—if you had a cake in the other hand. Wish this could be titled Two local girls sailing for Europe —but alas, tis only to Chester the lassies are ventur- ing. Please be careful, and don't return with more than one fraternity pin, or you’ll forget which is which. What would a Beta think if a Deke pin were returned to him! Some nerve that little blonde has. Hodge had to take the same picture all over again just because Gammon rounded the corner and hollered I want to be in that”. And the only place she’s going is a few blocks down on Providence Road. Oh, well, she does have nice eyes. Sorry, but this means nothing to us—who they are and what they’re doing is a mystery. You guess. Maybe they’re telling the driver a touch of Wildroot will dear up that dandruff —or perhaps this is the original Shuffle off to Buf- falo team. And this lovely little bride with dusky brown hair and skin like a magnolia petal says of Fanay soap 'even in my stu- dent days I learned the value of using Fanay soap—or any soap, for that matter'. Now as the very new Mrs. Heriut Broun, she is a vision of delight in her checked gingham wed- ding gown.” (Tatoe model.) Where are all the gals going? There’s Ora Lee and Mar- garet and Bettie and—well, Miss Fulton, too—is she an accom- plice in this, or does Clyde know that they’re going otf ? But since they were willing to pose for a picture, this must be that long-awaited trip to Raleigh. ★ REMEMBER—You Always Save at Belk Bros.

She just landed here unobtru- sively, and kept quiet about the whole thing. But somehow it leaked out that here was a leader—a girl with an attractive way and plenty of spirit. So the juniors put her to work and found out quite a few things—namely, that Kathleen is merely a dignified name to cover a multitude of girlish charms, and that Jimmie best describes a quick-thinking, good-natured gal who stepped right into the presidency of the senior class. And we are sure that, as pres- ident, she will keep right on being quiet and efficient, holding her class together by her ear- nest efforts to please every one. So she deserves a whole hunk of honorable mention, for doing as much as she has done in such a short time, and in such a mouse-like fashion. VIRGINIA CAGLE for different reasons but mainly because she is the senior most likely to succeed in an artistic field. Queens-Chicora missed three years of her exquisite music, but the college felt her pres- ence here this year as keenly as if Virginia had enrolled as a freshman four years ago. Having already heard of the honors she had received as a musician, we heaped our own adjectives upon her as soon as we listened to her interpretations of the Classics. But, despite the time neces- sarily spent on her music, she managed to make lasting friendships, and to become a real part of her class. When there was work to be done by seniors, Virginia made a regular four-years- at-Queens-Chicora” worker. It’s not often that a girl can transfer as a senior and work as har- moniously in new surroundings as she has done. And it’s not often that we have the opportu- nity of claiming such a talented person as our friend. MAItTIIA PETTEWAY because she's capable and forceful and independent—and a clothes horse besides. Notice we said besides, because her ability to wear stunning outfits is overshadowed by more important abilities. She can take over a work that is entirely foreign to her, and make of it the greatest possible success, as witnessed in her handling of the business end of the Blues’’. She can be blindly devoted to her own group, yet make and hold friends outside this small circle, showing a piece of diplomacy that she displayed in Pan Hellenic council, and will continue to display as that council s president next year. And she can sit calmly and serenely before an innocent piano, and bring out of it fire and heat and rhythm that had lain latent for years! So, even ith a lot ol stylish rags hanging on her, she manages to get around and accomplish things. Smith True Batten MAY LEItBY SMITH Editor-in-Chief—, is one editor who has never written a short story, or even started to send one to a National magazine, but who has probably scribbled more copy (which will not be pre- served for posterity) than most editors. Her work on the college paper and the annual was mostly of a feature nature, which began with her Campus Comment in the Oneens Bines. She continued this type of work in her editorials in the Coronet during her junior year. As editor, she has retained the policies of the magazine as outlined by the staff last year, and has introduced several new features. Although she feels that the Coronet is a progressive step in the held of college publications, which leaves the annual in a corner with buttoned shoes and gas lamps, her only desire in publishing the Coronet has been to please the students. So she wishes the new editor the greatest success possible with the annual, a success attended by the satisfaction of every student at the college. M AHRARET TRUE Business Manager—, is one business manager who has the type of mind and personality which suits her position on the staff. She has enjoyed her work, and her work has been done as skill- fully and as competently as if she had had a complete staff of co-workers, instead of the three faithfuls who did stand by. Not only were they able to obtain ads, but they succeeded in mak- ing friends of every firm with which they came in contact. And these friends are needed by the college, and particularly by next year’s staff. The business department of the publication, the department which makes possible the literary side, has been kept an interested and live- wire part of the Coronet by its manager, a leader who is as attractive as she is thorough. AWI Literary Editor—has worked, as usual, quietly and surely, always ready with suggestions and her share of the work. Her interest in journalism began when she was a freshman, and she served the required number of months as an apprentice, the reporter. From that time on, she was a necessary part of the Queens Bines, and later of the Coronet. Her most constructive contri- bution to the annual has been the Alumnae page. With each issue, she has used a central idea in planning these two pages, and the result has been outstanding. I hrough her efforts, the annual has kept in close contact with the alumnae, and many of our old girls have subscribed (o the Coronet. These two pages, then, have served to renew the interest of our alumnae in their college But that has been only a small part of the work of the liter iry editor. She has assist ed the editor in every imaginable way, from running down late copy to pacifying biidcs whose pictures were ruined because two inches of the train had been cut.

Rose Ellen White, Charlotte, N. C. Smith Stallings Stough Thompson Thompson Trobaugh True Walton Ward Wicker Woodcock jJ'luto'tijj cj the The generally accepted definition of a class history seems to be that a class history is a dissertation—usually brief, thank goodness—which the senior class, the fac- ulty, and loyal parents and friends politely and stoically endure until the time comes when they may enjoy such interesting parts of the program as the prophecy and will. Webster, having had no experience, perhaps, with class histories, does not give this definition. He says in substance that a history is a systematic written account of events, especially of those affecting, in our case, a class and usually connected with a philosophical explanation of their causes. Since Webster is a generally accepted authority, we will begin with our systematic account of events. First of all, we arrived—in the fall of 1932. Upon arrival we were entertained and tested and tested and entertained, so that we scarcely had time to think. Very soon we decided that we liked the place just fine and thought that we were becoming first class Queens-Chi- cora students. However, there was one thing that rather irritated us. People would look at us and at a glance label us a freshman. How did they know? In a short time we were made rats for a few days with Margaret Clegg, our chairman, as chief rat. It wasn’t so bad; we rather enjoyed it, for we seemed to be having much more fun than the sophomores. Some of them just stood and looked at us and didn’t seem to know what to do. Of course there were a few with over active brains who thought of too much for us to do, but we survived with the encouragement that our turn would come next year. We soon learned that there are many events which we eagerly anticipate from year to year. We think first of all of Stunt Night—perhaps because w'e won the cup with a variety program. Our next year we enjoyed so much being sophomore demons in our red costumes that we really didn’t mind forgetting all our songs. (Well, the truth of the matter is that we did not learn those songs so well to begin with.) As juniors we were mountaineers and acted and looked so natural, so Judge Helms said, that we won the cup again. In our last stunt night, we were dignified sen- iors boarding our train ready to leave, just as today we are again boarding our train in preparation of our departure. May Days, too, have always been important events with lots of visitors. As a result of three years' experience and talk of other days by upperclassmen and graduates, we have learned one important thing: Do not trust the weather re- port at this time of year, and do not even trust your own eyes when you look up into a bright blue sky in the early C la 936 morning. We seniors, with our own Queen on the throne and ourselves dressed in caps and gowns, will now have an opportunity to see the whole performance from begin- ning to end. Then, of course, we can never forget our yearly elections — especially when we were juniors and the all-important task of selecting officers for our big student government position. Why, the election of the President of the United States and the senators was not nearly so important, and we knew that the whole student organization would be ruined if our candidate was not elected. There are other events that we will always remember— our yearly parties, Christmas supper, concerts, and enter- tainments. Are not our souvenirs of them put carefully away in our cedar chests and scrapbooks? Then there is a cry that we have heard for three and three-fourths years and are still hearing and probably will hear for more than a month: We've got to raise some money!” The cry started with Lucille Blue, our freshman president. We presented the Wofford Glee Club, made some money, and entertained the juniors. Margaret Tro- baugh and Bettie Wicker talked money; and we gave enter- tainments and parties, paid or did not pay class dues, and still called for more money. Finally, we gave junior- senior. Now, Mary Phillips' cry has been, is and will be: Where can we get some money. Pay your class dues. In the midst of all this confusion we hear faint echoes—or, are they so faint?—from other classes: We need money. We must entertain those seniors.” We have seen many things in our day—the beginning of a new form of student government uniting day students and boarders; the building of the Day Student Union; the beginning of a new form of publication, the Coronet, which we hear tell will also die with us; faculty chapel where we can hear well-known Charlotte citizens speak on subjects of interest to them and to us; and finally Senior Week, which we are enjoying immensely There are other things in our history which we could tell, but we think they are best left untold. Then, more im- portant, there are centain things that we would like to tell but can only feel. This account of events, which by the way did not turn out to be so systematic after all, has been of outward happenings. Each of us has her own individual history of growth: social, mental, spiritual, and—to some of our despair—even physical. The history of our class is at present incomplete, but we are sure that we shall need no written record of this, last month to keep it in our memories. By ANNE BATTEN. 4 ,A i C amyiii May 26th. Dear Diary: To think that a year has passed—and so quickly, too. Such a short while it seems since trunks were being unloaded, and freshmen were being intro- duced, and newr books were being opened with enthusiasm. Then followed hectic weeks of study, and the combination of agony and thrill, which accompanied acquaintanceship with a new environment. Soon we had settled down to a routine of classes, walks to the little store , study, letter writing, shows, and midnight talks; and before anyone was aware of it, Christmas hol- idays came—and were gone, all too hurriedly. Back to the grind, we soon began marking off days until our Spring Jane Wiley vacation, when we were not busy having a party with Males in attendance, or cramming for exams. And after those glorious bright days of home, we re- turned to the hardest part of all—waiting, with more flowers blooming every day, more sunshine streaming down on us, more birds singing in bluer skies. And some of us were waiting for the last time, a fact which gave us mingled feelings of we know not what. But much happened to make the time pass quickly- May Day, more lovely than ever, and every entertainment possible for the seniors. But May Day—that was a memorable day. A stately queen, a beautiful court, an attractive pageant based on a Gre- cian legend, appropriate music, and graceful dances, all merged into an exquisite picture in a frame of green. I think this snap I managed to get of Jane Wiley is quite unique, but it doesn't do one of the very loveliest attendants justice. Jane has done so many different things this year- she was in charge of the winning sophomore stunt, she has appeared in a Queens Players production, she ran away with the title of ' Queen ot Hearts at our party, and she has been a silent worker on many class projects. She happens to be one of the most outstanding students at Queens. I’ve used my kodak a lot lately—and this picture of Bertha and Anne is one of the few 1 took of the seniors. Bertha looks as if she is mighty happy over the thought of dropping all those heavy books in a day or two; but Anne appears pensive, and casts her glance toward the buildings which have meant so much to her for four years. I Ins must be the double feelings of each senior happiness over a new exciting life, and sadness over past years which were so full of our growth and our youth Bertha Burch and Anne Batten lie hiccn ami liet =—Ittcmiaul.i Attendants—Left to right: Jean Orr, Janet Hilton, Jo Long.
