WE RECOGNIZE l(» E SMITH. because—well, if we said just be cause”, no one would offer any argu- ment. lone is a girl who deserves praise, because she works her mind like a dray horse on a project and then backs off when resolutions of thanks are being passed. 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.

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.
