GOOD NATURE AND GOOD SENSE MUST EVER JOIN 5ei?ior H 1 5tor HE fifty-seventh year of Queens College, the twentieth of September, quite a nurr.ber of microscopic members of the genus homo appeared at its doors. These had come from different parts of the kingdom: some of them wander- ing according to their own free will, others, in spite of their unwillingness, being sent away from home in search of a new environment. On close examination, these all represented different species of an undeveloped order of intelligence, but nevertheless gave promise of greater possibilities under proper environment. At first, these individuals, wandering from one classroom to another, were overwhelmed with home- sickness; but soon, in company with so many others, their tears were dried, and life seemed more hopeful. As they became more reconciled to their new surroundings, they began to desire broader development. This desire was met by memberships in various organizations — the athletic association furnished opportunity for physical exercises and growth; the literary societies stimulated their mental activities; and the Young Women ' s Christian Association met their spiritual needs. In spite of the aid given them by these various organizations, life was by no means easy, for this new environment brought many dangers and difficulties. THE WAY TO BLISS LIES NOT ON BEDS OF DOWN To some, Mathematics proved a deadly foe; others fell before the demands of Latin; while French proved an enemy that very few could overcome. For nine long months these struggles continued, each day seeing new battles fought, new victories won. Examinations proved the final test. Some, because of natural and inherited characteristics, and others because of acquired powers, were able to survive in this struggle for development. The survival of the fittest, however, left others less fortunate to follow as best they could. Thus, fewer in numbers, but stout in heart, they continued their struggle for existence. Aided by the Faculty, they progressed rapidly. So great was their development that there was need of more room and a change of surroundings, and so they were moved into a new home, called Queens College, in Myers Park. In this new home, surrounded by everything that would make the struggle easy, and success possible, they began a new history. New enemies, as well as new friends, were met in Myers Park. Philosophy and Chemistry added to the difficulties of life. In the midst of this conflict, there came a day of waving palms and fragrant flowers, and the Annual Reception, with its crowds, brought joy to their hearts. This joy was deepened when, later on, the Davidson and Carolina Glee Club brought a taste of the outs:de world. As they had toiled and striven side by side during these weary months, so great had become their love for the Senior Order that they wished to express their affection in some unique way. As a result, the Junior-Senior Banquet was given, at the Selwyn Hotel. Thus, amid friend and foe, with some dark days and some brighter ones, they con- tinued to grow until the r fame spread abroad. Attracted by this widening reputation, there came two new members to join their number. As a symbol of this Order ' s attain- ments, each member was invested with the Senior insignia, and caps and gowns were seen on every hand. Strong though the Seniors were, yet their struggle was increased by an alliance at this time with the Sophomore order; and victories have crowned their efforts. Increasing developmicnt has made the struggle easier, and various attainments have brightened the dark places. The Shakespearian Festival, presented by this Order in connection w.th the other Orders, added to the renown of Queens College. Thus, as we see them successfully overcoming their foes, adapting themselves to their surroundings, acquiring characteristics of leadership and power, we hope for them that the end of life may still see in them the survival of the fittest. — W. C. NOTHING GREAT OR GOOD CAN EVER BE ACCOMPLISHED WITHOUT LABOR OR TOIL N the year of nineteen-thirty-six, t ji In the shade of a stately tree, A large mass-meeting was being held, ® And the speaker was from Q. C. Her subject was entrancing Her oratory great. For Ellen, the famous speaker. Now lectures early and late. She looks about the campus. And thmks of classmates dear- Where are her merry comrades? Not one of them is here! Twenty years ago. Bill thought A teacher she would be ; But, when women won their rights, She said That ' s the thing for me. ' So now she is on the ticket For Governor of her State, And that she ' ll be elected Is just as sure as fate. Margaret had always declared That, after her education, She would settle down with just one man. Who owned a large plantation. But, fortunately, it could not be Just as she had it planned; So now she has gone as a missionary To a far-off heathen land. Now who would think that Sarah, The smallest little lass. Would become a famous lawyer And glorify her Class? But now she shines in the courtroom. Just as she did in Class, When she never would be downed. But argued her point to the last. WA IT FOR MY STORY - THE BIRDS CANNOT SING IT NOT ONE AS HE SITS ON THE TREE ; All the girls used to say That Laura would never marry, But, after a few years of maiden life. She decided no longer to tarry. Away she went to the far-away North, Alone with a soldier man; And now they are facing life ' s problems Together, as best they can. Elizabeth, as we might expect, Has made much use of her knowledge. And in a distant Western city Has founded a modern boys ' college. Elma has her heart ' s desire — A multi-millionaire; She has motor cars and yachts galore. And a biplane for the air. And as for Frederica — Probably all of you know She is a great Latin scholar. And thinks of naught else below. And Kitty is now a skillful nurse. And cheerfully hands out pills; If e ' er you feel bad, just go to her; She has remedies for all ills. Margaret, alias the Boss, For several years has concertized; Her Leschetizky-Ninnis style Has all her hearers hypnotized. As for myself — sad to relate — I am still alone, in a single state. — B. McL. THE BELLS CANNOT RING IT : BUT LONG YEARS. OH BRING IT SUCH AS I WISH IT TO BE ' ' Queens College Mecklenburg County Charlotte, N. C. E, the members of the Senior Class of 1916, of the aforesaid college, city, county, and State, realizing the uncertainties of life and the vicissitudes of fortune; and being about to depart from the state of continual turmoil for regions unknown; and bemg of sound mind and body, do hereby make void all former wills by us, and do invoke the eternal curses of the gods on any who shall intercept the speedy and accurate and impartial execution of this our Last Will and Testament. SECTION I Article I. To the Class of 1917 we do give all the privileges which we have enjoyed during our last year of abode at Queens. May they make the best of these privileges, and, following in our foot- steps, never abuse them. So will ihey, as we have done, win the undying love(?) of all the Faculty. Article 11. We do also give unto the Class of Seventeen the beautiful Senior study-hall, which we have used with such tender care; provided they will see to it that it is still kept spotless, in perfect order, and a dream to behold. Article III. To the aforesaid Class, we do will our perfe ct deportment upon all occasions, and our exceptional Senior dignity. Article IV. We do also give unto this Class our seats in Chapel, hoping that they will fill even more of them than we have done, and will always be especially attentive to the exercises held there. SECTION II Article I. To the Class of 1918, we do leave the studious habits of a Junior, together with the pleasurable anticipations of being a Senior. Article II. To our beloved sister Class, we leave our hearty thanks for all their help to us in Athletics; our best wishes for their success; and the hope that they will increase in number. But, let them always remember that it is quality more than quantity which counts. INTENT TO REASON OR POLITE TO PLEASE SCCTION III Article I. To the Freshman Class is given the proud and lorldly traits so common to the Sophomore. May they stand by the rising Senior Class as our sisters have stood by us. SECTION IV Article I. To the class yet unborn, the Class of nineteen hundred and twenty, we bequeath four years of college life, with all its trials and pleasures, its joys and tribulations. Article il. To this embryonic class we do give company with some of the best girls in existence. Article III. We do also give unto the Class of nineteen hundred and twenty, the traditions and records of this College, to be kept and hallowed throughout the existence of the said Class at this College. Article IV. To the aforesaid class we do bequeath our colors — old gold and blue; our motto; and our flowers. SECTION V Article I. To our dearly beloved dean. Miss Young, we give our most sincere thanks for the wise and motherly care which she has so generously bestowed on us. May all classes to come give her less (certainly no more) trouble than we have given her. SECTION VI Article I. To Doctor Bridges, we do will every Ethics book used by the Class of Sixteen; and we do hope the dear Doctor will, on some rough night, thrust the aforesaid books into the furnacei, and that the heat therefrom will warm his heart toward the Class of Sixteen and the future students of Ethics, so that he will be unable to flunk anyone who carries upon her shoulders such a weight as Ethics. SECTION VII Article I. To the future students of modern languages, we do willingly bequeath all of our books concerning these subjects, together with certain invaluable aid throughout the aforementioned books. Article II. We leave our privilege of free access to the lectures on international relations and diplomacy, on neutrality, and other deep subjects, to all future foreign language students, hoping that they may enjoy and profit by them as much as we have. SECTION VIII Article I. To all future editors of the Annual, we most joyfully leave our nerves, bones, and brains shattered in compiling such a book, together with the abuse, curses, indignations, threats, and such other miscellaneous equipment that has been hurled at the aforementioned editors during the year. U S E — D O NOT ABUSE a SECTION IX Article I. To the future boarders, we do gladly bequeath all stains on the floors, tackholes in the walls, broken wires on the window seals, scratched and generally abused furniture, worn-out brooms and dustpans, and abandoned room-mates, as souvenirs of the Class of Sixteen — that the memory of us may always be fresh in their minds. SECTION X Article I. We do will all of our superfluous flesh, to be distributed among the students, as seems most fitting, by Elizabeth Rankin and Ellen Finley. SECTION XI Article I. To the Faculty, we do will all of our red and blue pencils, with the hope that they will use them on the papers of future students much more sparingly than they have on ours; for we do greatly fear that these mementos will be of short duration. SECTION XII Article I. Laura Gillon leaves her height to Mabel Dabbs. SECTION XIII Article I. Sarah Hawkins does will her volubility, to be distributed equally between Elsie Johnson and Connna Johnston. SECTION XIV Article I. Caroline Constable leaves her good times at Davidson to Mary Louise Crowell. SECTION XV Article I. In conclusion, as we are about to depart from ihese hallowed precincts for parts un- known, and leave behind us many friends, we hope that some day we may return, and find the glad hand awaiting us.

WE RAISE OUR HYMN OF JOY TO YOU, OUR MOTHER AND OUR QUEEN I Achloclcs WING to the fewness in number of both the Senior and Sophomore Classes, it was decided that they be united in Athletics. The Skating Tournament was the first inter-class athletic event. The Sophomores and Seniors were represented by Daisy Belk, Lucy Vance Darlington, Corinna Finley, Willie Choate, and Elizabeth Alford. Later, the Tennis Tournament took place. Corinna Finley and Dorothy Knox, both Sophomores, were the successful contestants. In Basket-Ball, the Sophs and Seniors have been successful so far; but, since the finals have not yet been played, we cannot announce a complete victory for the Yellow.

Frederica: Sarah, have you read your Latin? My chapter ' s hard, and awfully long. I wish — Ellen (interrupting) : Now, girls. I have only this period to study Ethics, and I haven ' t looked at it. Now, please don ' t talk. Sarah, Kitty, please don ' t talk — Hear? Sarah and Kitty: All right, Ellen; we won ' t talk. We don ' t know it, either. Sarah (after a minute ' s silence): And Kitty, what else about the play? Was the leading man good- looking? Kitty: O, yes; fine-looking. What was I telling about? O, I remember, I was telling about her clothes. They were the dearest things! In the first act, she wore the prettiest chiffon diress. (Then follows a minute description of the actress ' gomns, which is interrupted by Ellen.) Ellen: Girls, I asked you not to talk. Kitty, did I tell you about the new ad. I think I ' m going to get? I went to his office, and his stenographer said he wasn ' t in; but that she was quite sure he wouldn t give us one; and the next day I saw him, and asked him for one. He said he would be perfectly delighted to give us one. Isn ' t that fine? Now, please don ' t talk. Come oa, Frederica; let ' s go in Margaret ' s room, so we can study.

(Abruptly) Sarah, do you understand the thiestic evolution? Please explain. Don ' t you want her to explain it, Kitty? Kitty: O, yes! Do explain it. Frederica, let ' s turn back to that place, and listen to it. Go on. Sarah: Yes, I think 1 understand it. It means just this. The evolutionists believe that man was grad- ually evolved by the mere action of mechanical forces; and he says that it is very important to understand this point he ' s talking about, because men ' s minds are so concerned with the evolutionary genesis of man — and the evolutionary genesis of man is what I have ]ust explained. Don t you see? He means this, etc., etc. Ellen: Kitty, do you understand that? I don ' t. Where did you find all that? I don ' t see it like that in this paragraph. Frederica, do you understand it? What does the evolutionary genesis of man mean? Explain all that again. Your explanation is not at all like the book. Sarah: Well, I ' ve told you as plain as I can. He says that these proofs we ' ve been studying are entirely independent of the origin; and the evolutionary genesis of man means that the gene:is of man was evolutionary. See?
