Published by the Student Body of Queens College, Charlotte, florth Carolina Mary Hirste Carson, Editor Ann Currie, Business Manager Jane Fajres, Advertising Manager As Queens greets the centennial class, the time comes to look back to the achievements of the past and to look forward to the hopes ot the future. In the last one hundred years Queens lias grown from a small, sheltered institution into a vibrant, promising college. Queens has made outstanding progress, but progress is meaningless without a strong founda- tion upon which to build. J he campus provides mam evi- dences of physical growth . . . the new dormitory, the physi- cal education building, the remodeled dormitories, the redec- orated dining hall, Rurwell, and the Stultz Building. But there are other evidences of growth at Queens. A far superior kind of growth is found in the hearts and minds of students and faculty Every member of Queens has experienced an enthusiasm and is awake to the progress of the college. As we stand upon traditions of the past and look with hope and optimism to the luture, wc catch the real spirit of Queens College. . CHflRLTOn C. JERniGfln 1904-1953 We loved him—the tall, romantic figure walking with such a zest for life across our own Queens campus. He was an ideal ... a young college girl s dream of the under- standing, farseeing figure. He was genuine . . . unassuming, with a flair for humor. He stimulated intellectual curiosity and became a living reality. He was such a warm, close friend—our Dr. Jernigan. As long as Queens students live, he will live. And in our mind's eye, he still walks, head high, gently smiling, through all our memories of Queens. ‘ Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. —Matthew 5:6. — ximxc -c f i? i riva-- r-jgy -jr . «y fiTTU � v .Q Gordc i B.S., Dean D n W.

No balls and chains for the freshmen but a happy community attitude from them combined, of course, with their courtesy and respect for us — the learned and noble sophomores. Wait until you’re sophomores, freshmen — then you’ll know the thrill of winning your volleyball games, of dating every night alone, of leaving behind closed study, chaperones, and freshmen rules. We’ve worked and plaved, studied, and laughed; and now at last we've taken our place as sophomores, soon to become juniors, with the hope that all of our work and play has not been just for ourselves but that we have contributed our time and enerav towards a Greater Queens.” Brice, Morgan, Palmore, Shires Sophomore Class of 1954 Peggy Brice President Barbara Iean Palmore Vice-President Nancy Morgan Secretary Jackie Shires Treasurer Page Thirty-seven I .

I he CORONET gives the student the chance to o perpetuate herself and her friends in a well bound snap- shot album that will give a future generation leeway to make fun of their elders. The CORONET staff has dreamed of that grand O moment and those sighs of relief when that finished product will be given out in the spring. I he staff of the 1954 CORONE 1 would like to thank all persons who have worked so tirelessly with us on this year’s book.

Mr. f larrie Keck of the Observer Print- ing I louse, w’ho has been very patient and efficient in get- ting the printed matter to press. Mr. Edison Stewart and Mr. A. Haynes Dunlap of Ivey’s Studio, who have spent much time and energy in trying to add perfection to the individual portraits. To these and many others wre express our gratitude, realiz- ing that the completion of this book is due in great part to their efforts.
