What a joy it has been to chronicle the glorious records of one year of her history, so that in the placid eventide of life we may turn these worn pages and conjure up a thousand sacred memories to keep us company.

As we look in the future New Vistas rise in space, New paths to tread, new heights we must face, With courage, yes courage, to win with a grace, To gain the glory and the laurels in life’s race. Though we leave our Alma Mater In youth s gay, glad spring To her name our lives homage will bring. And Queens like a watchword In our hearts will ring. Jean Crowell, ’27.

VIRGINIA is one of the most industrious girls of our class. She is conscientious in her work and in her play. Studiousness, depend¬ ability. sincerity, and friendliness are some of VIRGINIA ' S characteristic traits. She is ready to do anything for her friends at any time . All of us agree that her duty comes foremost always. As VIRGINIA leaves her Alma Mater, we are sure she will meet with great success. Grace Anderson, A.B. CHARLOTTE. N. C. Gamma Sigma Orchestra; Class Secretary, ’27. GRACE is conscientious and dependable and never fails to meet her mark in all her under¬ takings. She is always interested in and ready to take part in the activities of college life. She is a true friend to everybody and is loved by all. Here’s to you. GRACE, you’re sure to make a success in life. Page Twenty-fou Fannie Thetus Barrett, A.B. CABARRUS, N. C.

It would be bard to find a more capable girl than FANNIE. No matter bow difficult a task she undertakes, accomplishment is always her reward. Although she is majoring in Math., she has ability along many other lines. The fact that she was one of the three marshals chosen from last year’s Junior class speaks for her success in college. May she always have the same success in everything she undertakes is the wish of the Senior Class of ' ll. Janice Bierman, B.S. CHARLOTTE, N. C. n a Here ' s to JANICE BlERMAN, one of the scientists of Queens. JANICE has made a name for herself in our science department. She is well liked by all of the girls and they will all miss seeing her smile when she is away teaching next year. We all wish you luck in the days to come, JANICE. Page Twenty-five Carolyn Booth.

W. C. A. Cabinet; Vice-President of Pan-Hellenic; Member of German Club; May Day Attendant. Speaking of ability, of fairness and square¬ ness. of good hard common sense, of fun and foolishness, of comradeship and all round popularity—well—this is CAROLYN. And as our Student Government President she is very capable and is always ready to do her bit. She is herself and there’s no wish that she might obtain happiness; it will surely come her way.

Who is it that is always ready for fun?— LENA!— Who is always willing to help you in trouble? —LENA! —Who is the friend to everybody? —LENA! In all these years of so much hap¬ piness at Queens, it ' s impossible to think of going on without our LENA! Maxton must be a fine place to have contributed so much to our college life! We are sure that a sure hap¬ piness, and all that goes with it. awaits LENA as out in the world she goes! We hate to lose you. dear friend, but all good things must come to a close—but we ll always love you—and here’s hoping you’ll never forget us. ' Bye! Page Twenty six Eleanor Cathcart, B.S., H.E.

We are all thrilled when she appears on the stage as the “Star Man. If it ' s musical it’s ELEANOR again. The Friskies will miss her next year for no one can “beat those drums” like ELEANOR. If it’s Pi Delta then it ' s ELEANOR, for isn ' t she our president? And if it’s Home Eco¬ nomics it’s ELEANOR again. Good luck to you ELEANOR. The class of ' ll is wishing you as much success in life as you have had at Queens. Katherine Lucile Conley, A.B. MARION, N. C. 11 A.

The expression. She ' s a good sport. ap¬ plies to KAT exactly. She loves and is loved by all. Because of her personality, her unselfishness and sincerity, she has a great in fluence over her fellow comrades, and she has proved a friend, true, and ' lasting. Whatever she undertakes, be it slinging a broom or teaching spelling, we know the job will be a success. KAT deserves only the best of ev¬ erything and that is what the class of ' 27 wishes for her.

Blues, ’26; President of Epsilon Tan Delta, ’27; Secretary of Kappa Omicron, ’27; Assistant Art Editor of Edelweiss, ’27. To know her is to love her. This is quite true of ALICE. She has been with us during all four years of college, and her sweet disposition and charming personality have won for her many friends. ALICE is also our most distinguished artist. She is planning to continue her study of art at Tulane next year. She has proved herself a most worthy friend and colleague, and has endeared herself to all who have known her. We wish for her all success and happiness. Jean Crowell, A.B. CHARLOTTE, N.

There are some people who try to be orig¬ inal. and some who just naturally are orig¬ inal. JEAN belongs to this latter type. Through her quaint presentation JEAN com¬ pels our interest on the most boring of class reports. She enters into every undertaking with all the “pep” and “vim ' ' of which she is capable and that ' s a lot! She has executive ability, scholastic ability, and above all, the ability to make friends among students and faculty. Here ' s hoping that Queens will be privileged in having many more such lovable and unselfish girls as JEAN. Page Twenty eight Faye Ross Dwelle, B.S. CHARLOTTE, N.

Unselfish, lovable, with a disposition that is always the same, a personality that radi¬ ates and impresses favorably all those whom she she meets, that’s FAY. Her academic rec¬ ord is just what it should be. We wish for her a most successful life and that he r wor ries never exceed her happiness in the future as they have failed to do in the past.

An adequate appreciation of EMILY is im possible to write, for there is nothing in which she does not excel—and with what ease and poise and sunshine! The fact that she has been president of her class throughout the four years testifies not only to her unusual executive ability, but also to the love and esteem in which her classmates have always held her. Recent statistics have proclaimed her Queen ' s most intellectual student, but that is only part of the story, for she is a special ist in every line. We hope and predict for her all possible success and happiness as she leaves college to enter upon a wider field of activity. Page Twenty nine Louise Harry, A.B. SALISBURY, N. C. si, ni Treasurer of Pi Delta, ‘.25; Junior Representative on Student Council, ’26; Vice-President of Pi Delta, ' 27; Annual Staff, ' 27; German Club; English Club. It ' s been four short years that we ' ve known these fine Seniors. Sometimes we thought it seemed such a long time—and yet when we think over the good times we have had—it really is such a short time. To know her is to love her ' ' has become such a trite expression but—we just must use it here—when we think of—FLEA—(for FLEA she is called. Why, we do not know, but anyway it suits— so we will continue to call her that, I guess). Some girls arc called sweet—and some girls are sweet. Well. FLEA belongs to the latter class—and we ' re proud of that trait ' cause it ' s not every girl who has it—now-a-days! De¬ spite the fact that FLEA spends most of the week-ends at Davidson—and then sometimes —in Salisbury everybody knows her and thinks a mighty lot of her; FLEA, here ' s to you: and all the best things in life. Mattie Sue Hatch, A.B. CHARLOTTE, N. C. II A President Senior English Club, ’27. “To know her is to love her is the senti¬ ment of all who know MATTIE SUE. Sin¬ cerity, genuine sympathy, and spontaneous humor are true fundamental elements which make up her charming personality. She is a conscientious student, but is never harshly intolerant of those who are not. She is a wonderful sport in every way. May MATTIE SUE always lie on a “bed of roses.” which she deserves.

W. C. A., ’27; Repre¬ sentative to Pan-Hellenic, ’27; May Day Attendant. ’27; Editor-in-Chief Edelweiss, ’27; Senior English Club, ’27. Without ILA the Senior Class would be in¬ complete. Popular, jolly, ready to join in fun-making, she has become one of the out¬ standing girls in every activity. These traits have won for her many honors on the cam¬ pus. Ever ready to do her part she has used her talents in all lines of college life and has well proven her faithful leadership and abil¬ ity. Our paper or Annual staff and in class affairs, ILA is an active participant. In fact she is a thousand girls in one.” Frances Huntley. B.S. CHARLOTTE, N. C. II A Dark Blue Basketball, ’24, ’25, ’26, ’27. FRANCES is a girl loved by every one be¬ cause she is so full of fun and mischief. FRANCES is a good sport, too, always taking a prominent part in the athletics on the cam¬ pus. If you doubt this just watch her play basketball. A great many nice things could be said about FRANCES, but this phrase alone expresses the thoughts of everyone, She opened her mouth and in her tongue was the law of kindness.” Page Thirty-one Genevieve Lee, A.B. CHARLOTTE, N. C. B II 0 English Book Club, ' 27. Her usual quiet and unassuming manner tends to fool one into believing that she sees only the serious side of life. She is a com¬ bination of gentle dignity and genial good humor. She who quietly labors for the best day by day, entitling herself to honors which often pass unproclaimed, of her we shall ex¬ pect to hear noble things in the years to come. Sara Ellen Linker. A.B. CONCORD, N. C. II A, K 0, d ' T A Junior Representative to Student Council; Secre¬ tary and Treasurer of Upsilon Tau Delta. If silence is golden, surely we have a treas¬ ure in SARA Ellen. She does not advance her opinions on all occasions, but what ' s more she is a good listener. Indeed, she is rather deep and hard to be solved, yet a wonderful girl when you really have found her out and oh. how well worth your time in finding. Page Thirty-two Hannah Little, B.S., H.E. CHARLOTTE. N. C. n A, I A X Home Economics Club, ' 25, ' 26, ’27; May Day Attendant, ’26; Social Editor of Edelweiss, ' 27. The Senior Class would be incomplete without HANNAH. She is a sincere, true friend, and a loyal member of the Class of ' 17. Her sweet disposition and sincerity, together with her absolute unselfishness and conscientious effort has won for her a place high in the love of each of us. We ' re proud of you. HANNAH, and are wishing great things for you in the future. Kathleen Mahood. A.B. ALDERSON, W. VA.

A., ’26, ' 27; Vice-President of Senior Class, ’26, ’27; May Queen, ’27. One would have to search far and wide to find another girl so fine as Our KATHLEEN. The sweetness of her face bespeaks the charm and gentleness of her character and with these qualities she has come into our hearts to stay forever. Her blonde beauty and popularity won for her the coveted honor of May Queen and who could better serve in this capacity? Studious, but ever ready for jollity; lovabie, sincere and loyal, these qualities will make friends for her wherever she goes. Here ' s hoping the winds of fate may carry her into the land of success and happiness. Pane Thirty-three Mary Erwin McCain. A.B. WAXHAW, N. C.

Dependability is a “treasure worth more than gold” and MARY ERWIN is the possessor of this admirable quality. If anything needs to be done for the class, for a friend, for any¬ body. you can depend upon MARY ERWIN to do it. The Class of 27 owes much to its capable, dependable “Scotch treasurer. Amanda B.

Even if AMANDA did not join our class until ’24 she has always been one of the truest of the Blue and Blue. The art of knowing when to speak and when to keep silent has reached perfection in AMANDA. Yet everyone knows that she is a true, sin¬ cere friend and can always be depended on to do her share in any work. The fondest wishes of Q. C. and the Class of ’27 for her in her life ' s work.

The girl who wins is the girl who works, the girl who toils while the next one shirks, and the girl worth while is the girl who can smile, when everything goes wrong—this is MlN. And all will say she has many nameless virtues. Her jolly nature is always tuned to the season ' s harmony; her loving heart is the truest wisdom; and her modesty a candle to her merit. Her excellencies stand in her silently as if stolen upon her without her knowledge. For all in all, we shall never see her like again. Elizabeth Myers, A.B. CHARLOTTE, N.

Al¬ though she strayed away from us during her Sophomore year, she decided that after all there was no place like Queens, and came back to be with us during her Junior and Senior years, and we were all mighty glad to have her back. We know you’ll make good in anything you undertake, LIB, and we hope that you will always be as fortunate in making true and lasting friends as you have been at Queens.

' ‘Her every tone is Music ' s own Like those of morning birds, And something more than melody Dwells even in her words. Although America claims Madame Schu¬ mann Heink for its prima donna, Queens will have no other except our own MAE. Well may we believe the story of Orpheus, whose warblings drew tears of iron down Pluto ' s cheek. For has not MAE melted the hearts even of the faculty? With her melodies, and her friendly manner she has been an ever radi¬ ant spirit in our college. May her rich con¬ tralto continue to charm her audiences, or more correctly, the one-and-only.

If you are looking for a conscientious worker and a girl that is true blue through and through, here she is. Surely she could never be accused of lack of enthusiasm and vivacity. She gives unstintingly of her best to both work and play. But the finest thing is the kind and noble spirit which dwells within. With such a spirit, such a make up and such a high typ e of loyalty, a happy and useful life can be the only possible things that fate may hold for you. Our Mother and Our Queen will ever claim you as one of her noblest daughters. Go, then, LAURA FRANCES, and conquer as your present prom¬ ises and we your classmates wish you the best that life can give. Mittie Steen, B.M.

Her music, which she produces on the violin, is as charming as her personality which we have admired for the three years which she has been with us at Queens. The diligent pursuit of her talents has kept her too much in the music building and we feel that we have missed much by not knowing her better. Page Thirty-seven Mildred Thompson. B.S.. H.B.

MILDRED? No, we like just “Mid” much better, because then we know she is the girl who has made such a good record at Queens. There isn’t any organization that she hasn’t had an active part, and no matter what the part, whether large or small, hard or easy. ’’MID’ was there to put it across. ”MlD’’ was not only faithful to her friends and Alma Mater, she was the best kind of student. She could always do her lessons and then have time to help others with a difficult point, which proves that she is the best sort of sport. With her charming personality she has won scores of friends. Do we question her future? Not on your life; it can’t be anything but a success. Georgia Shrum. B.S. DAYTON.

When you think of GEORGIA you think of her as an efficient all-round girl. If you want an artist whom do you go to? GEORGIA! If you want a person who thinks without confusion, clearly, and with the executive ability to make these plans a success, go to GEORGIA! Do you want a leader in social or religious activities, then ask GEORGIA. Do you need a friend who is true and sincere at all times, then let GEORGIA be your friend! You will have to look hard to find a better, finer, truer girl than our GEORGIA. Page Thirty eight Elizabeth Wilkie, B.S. CHARLOTTE, N.

NOEL Walker walked shyly up the steps of the Administration Building one Septem¬ ber morning way back in ' 23. Her blue eyes were shining with anticipation. She re¬ tained her shyness (as is becoming to all Freshmen) but the brilliancy of her mind was quickly recognized by her instructors and fel¬ low students as well. Her college record is one of which she may justly be proud. She has had time for various college activities and has been recognized in many fields because of her unusual ability. She is planning to con¬ tinue her work at University of Pennsylvania, where she will study surgery. NOEL leaves Queens bearing the esteem and good wishes of the entire faculty and student body.

Never a worry, never a care; just let it all go and it will all end well—this is ANITA ' S conception of life. Quite a wonderful trait, but one which so few of us have. We like her best as we have seen her most—happy, and laughing, with a joke for everyone. She believes in living for today, tomorrow will take care of itself. She has a wonderful combination of sym¬ pathy and ability. She is a good pal and always ready to help a friend in need. Miss 1927, A.B.. B.S., H E.. B.M. QUEENS COLLEGE, CHARLOTTE, N, C. MISS 1927 has succeeded in breaking all previous records held by any class, in that she is made up of thirty-three distinct units, all of which are essential requisites for her happiness, completeness and success. Each of these thirty-three units has contributed their part in making MISS 1927 the most perfect class (so the Seniors think, devoid of all conceit) that has ever graduated from Queens. The thirty-three Seniors are now united into one. May they ever remain un¬ divided in heart and spirit in the bonds of Miss 1927! Page Forty instorp of Cla£s of ’27 HE second day of September. 1 923, was one of the busiest in our memory. There was chariot after chariot driving through the town carrying girls to the palace, otherwise known as Queens College. The girls alighted from the chariots inside the courtyard, not knowing how awfully hard it was going to be to get out again. We found to our amazement that there were four huge castles within the grounds. Naturally, we all started toward the largest and most beautiful one of all. the Senior Hall, but alas! we didn’t get near to this building for we were gently but forcefully assured that we could not enter there. Upon asking where to go, we were told that our castle was the last and smallest one. We were very greatly disappointed, but when we got to this castle, which was called Fresh¬ man Hall, we found that there were other girls there who felt the same way as we did, and since misery loves company, we felt better. After meeting all of the girls and becoming closer friends with our classmates and even our Queen, the College, we found that even our castle was not so bad. Of course, every body of people has to have a group to lead them, so we chose Emily Frazer as our leader. Her helpers were Louise English as vice-president and Jean Crowell as the treasurer. With these girls as our leaders we felt safe. But we found that there was strife in the courtyard, and who ever could be causing it? None other than the girls in the castle above us, the Sophomores. We soon found that they were to be dreaded, so to speak, and they were very disagreeable, if not obeyedf The first year of our stay in the court was without many happenings except the ups and downs of being broken into this life. After the first few weeks of longing to see familiar faces the year passed quickly and we found ourselves- Entering the Sophomore Hall the following September. This was perfectly wonderful: we were really being recognized as a part of the court life and were given privileges which we thoroughly enjoyed. We kept Emily Frazer as our leader, and she faithfully served us this year. In fact, she has been our leader throughout the four years. This year we especially felt our importance in dictating to the new girls who had come to join us. We found that each year we spent at the palace was more pleasant than the year before: the Junior Hall was elegant. Up until this time the girls had been very timid and bashful and it remained unknown where their hearts were. But this year in the beautiful springtime, they could resist it no longer, so we had a garden party to which we invited our knights. This is characteristic of the Junior year spent at Queens, and after this event, we began to realize that we were about to complete our life in court and began to consider our work seriously. At last the dreams of our girlhood are realized! We are in the Senior Hall, can we realize it? Yes. I think we can truthfully say that under the supervision of our courtiers we have had the problems of life given to us and also directions as to how to meet these. From the tower of this beautiful castle, we can see the wonders of the universe, and we are struck with awe to think that we are leaving our beloved palace, to be a tiny part in this vast world. Farewell, dear Queens, we love and cherish you! M. R. T. ' 77, Page Forty-one ropfjecp of Class of 1927 Ah. what avails the sceptered race, Ah, what, the form divine! What, every virtue, every grace! My Dear Queens, all were thine. My Dear Queens, whom these wakeful eyes • May weep, but never see, A night of memories and of bighs I consecrate to thee. T «hHE words came floating into my mind one beautiful starry night in France. Such was my ( O resolution as I was seated on the forked trunk of a large tree in one of those romantic gardens on the edge of Paris. It was a garden permeated with a scent of Paradise, a garden which seemed to tingle from the touch of the God Eros, and a garden changed by Nature ' s own magical wand into a fairyland of beauty. The portion of sky visible between the, trees gave the impression of an ebony crown studded here and there with diamonds—diamonds which sparkled with an almost supernatural luster. A crown! My thoughts drifted again to my beloved Queens and this exquisitely ornamented black fillet seemed to be the one which adorned the head of Her Majesty, my Alma Mater. This thought had barely entered my mind before I looked up to see a mass of falling stars, not flashing downward suddenly as is characteristic of such phenomena, but descending slowly in an orderly procession. As the stars touched the earth they arranged themselves to form the word Queens. Counting the diamonds which made up the significant word I discovered thirty-three—the number of the members of our own graduating class! The stars, one by one, came forward and stopped. The surface of each star resembled a moving picture screen and on this screen I beheld the destiny of each of my classmates. The moon coming from behind my shoulder acted as a cinema machine which made possible this vision. Grace Anderson had founded a select and exclusive school for girls in France. She and her husband lived near the school in a quaint little bungalow; Grace was parley vousing with the French girls to her heart ' s content. The Barrett sisters appeared in ballet costumes. Fan¬ nie and Virginia had replaced the regime of the Dolly sisters with their own. Janice Bierman came in a star conspicuous for its intricate molecular arrangement. She carried an enormous test tube in her hand. In it was a fluid composed of the extra thyroid secretion of Noel Walker. Georgia Shrum. Fannie Barrett and Minnie McCarley. This she used to restore nor¬ mal mentality to the unfortunates who had under-active thyroids. Carolyn arose as chief justice of the World Court, She had gained so much experience in her diplomatic manage¬ ment of the students at Queens College that she was now eligible to maintain harmony be¬ tween that diversified group of men who wrangle with one another over the possibility of a permanent peace. Next, Lena Carter walked out with much dignity. She was now Dean of Queens College. It is rumored that she is so fond of the Davidson boys that she chaperons in person all Queens ' girls who attend social events at that school. The girls live in the fear that she will rob them of their latest heart ' s fancy. Our fascinating Eleanor Cathcart next coquetted herself upon the scene. She wore a crown made of hearts and around her feet were millions of broken hearts, indicating the number of boys whom she refused to love. Such is the privilege of the Queen of Hearts, you know, Katharine Conley was revealed as a charming hostess in a beautiful country estate. All her air castles have materialized into this wonder of archi¬ tecture. Alice Cromwell appeared as national President-General of the Daughters of the Amer¬ ican Revolution. Jean Crowell, the same winsome lass of old. skips from her star and I Page Forty-two recognize a very notable scenario writer. She tells me that she acquired more than her share oi the filthy lucre in this business. Our intellectual Emily next appears as the second Lady Astor. We always expected as much of her. Mattie Sue Hatch is now a wonderfully popular movie queen. With a record very similar to that of Lois Wilson, she has become renowned internationally for her virtue and beauty. And another genuine star is an off-shoot of our dear Queens, Louise Harry, is now a world-famous tragedienne. Her pathos is said to stir her audiences more poignantly than that of ' Madam Sara ' ' Barnhardt. The next star walks out in a stately manner. Ah! it is 11 a Hoover, and who is that with her? King Carol, the son of Queen Marie of Roum ania and 11 a s husband. 11 a was permanently influenced by her royal education. Genevieve Lee emerges from her star accompanied by several chubby kiddies. She confesses that she eloped in the middle of her first year of teaching Latin and that although her abundant knowledge of Latin is of little use to her, the Laws of Physical Growth, which she received from Miss Abernathy have been invaluable to her in her married life. Next came a filibustering young politician. Why. it is our little Sarah Ellen Linker! What a metamor- phasis! But such changes are biologically possible, you know. Next comes Frances Huntley dressed in gorgeous apparel and muchly bespangled with jewels. She has become the wife of a wealthy meat packer in Chicago. And who are these two stars who seem to be taking their daily dozen as they walk? As they each emerge they bow with a deep knee bend and salute me. It is none other than Hannah Little and Billy Pettus; they are now gym teachers and have de¬ veloped much brawn since leaving Queens. Each of them looks very chic with an ultra-modern Parisian bob. They cut their hair for convenience on their last channel swim, they explained. Ah! another finely attired one of our number! Kathleen Mahood appears as the wife of the American Ambassador to Japan. Mary Erwin McCane exemplifies another of Queens repre¬ sentatives in the political world; she is now sheriff of Mecklenburg County. Minnie McCarley next comes out of her star with her husband and fou- healthy attractive children. She tells me that none of her children were rachitic so her marvelous technique in the bathing of rachitic babies was lost except in assisting her neighbors. Amanda Bell next appears in a pretty little green rubber apron and a book in her hand. She is now librarian at Queens. Lib Myers briskly steps out as an enterprising newspaper woman. She will venture into the most dan¬ gerous of situations for the sake of a good story. Now Annie Mae Pritchette trips out, the wife of the elder Mr. Tiffany, the jeweler. “An old man’s darling evidently would be Annie Mae’s title. Next Georgia Shrum appears in a dear little artist smock. She is now living in a Greenwich Village flat and acquiring quite a bit of success as a commercial artist. Mittie Steen appears in a filmy dainty dress as an English Duchess. Mildred Thompson is the owner of a quaint Dutch colonial house. Her husband and children adore her but the children some¬ times stage anti-spinach campaigns against their darling mother on account of the frequency of this vitamine-containing dish on their table. Noel Walker has written an encyclopedia with little or no research work. Her fund of information on all subjects was so enormous that she had but to explore the corners of her own mind to produce this monumental contribution to our age. Anita Wharton is the loving House Mother of the Y. M. C. A. Hut at Davidson. In it all the little Davidson boys gather around to listen to the wonderful stories from the lips of one who loved all their fathers so much that she could not center her affections on any one of them. Elizabeth Wilkie has become an adept in the terpsichorean art. Her dancing is said to be infinitely more graceful than that of Pavlowa. Laura Frances Steele is to this generation what Jane Adams was to the last. She is never tiring in her zeal to convince the public that prohibition is a prophylactic cure for the majority of poverty and crime prevalent in this country. Thus we see that the genuine stars in the crown of our dear Queen Alma Mater are abundant. May they continue to multiply as the years elapse! —F. R. D . 27.

Page Fifty-eight 0uv Jllotfjer anb € ur dSueen Oh time of happiness and youth, Of joyful consecration, Of holy zeal for faith and truth. And love-born inspiration; When earth is clad in vernal hue, The skies in golden sheen— We raise our hymn of joy to you, Our Mother and our Queen. You lead from life’s uncertain dawn To glorious days your daughters, In golden pictures you have drawn The floods of living waters, And round thy banner, blue and blue, A faithful host is seen, True to their honor, true to you, Our Mother and our Queen. Though roseclad hope may open wide The future’s golden portal. And love shall crown—-a happy bride— Our brows with wreaths immortal; Though all our dreams are coming true, Yet naught our hearts can wean, Nor turn our grateful thoughts from you. Our Mother and our Queen. To grief and joy—as years go past— Points fate’s unerring finger; But changeless shall, while life will last, Your blessings with us linger, Unfaltering love, like morning dew, Shall keep your memory green— Our lodestar bright, we gaze on you— Our Mother and our Queen.

REPRESENTED BY DAVIS ROBINSON —---_ -- -p L------ Page One Hundred Eighty THE MODERN HOME IS THE ELECTRICAL HOME - ' A The use of electricity has revolutionized the home just as it has revolu¬ tionized industry and commerce in America. No industry operated with antequated equipment and hand labor can compete with the modern plant using electricity in its various processes. Just so no home depending upon old-fashioned household equipment and human labor can compare with the thoroughly modern home in which elec¬ trical appliances are used for the various household duties and electricity takes the place of human muscle. The thoroughly modern home, where cleanliness, brightness, and effi¬ ciency reign supreme, is the Electrical Home—and no home is modern with¬ out its equipment of electrical appliances. Household duties that were formerly dreaded as drudgery are easily and pleasantly performed through the use of the wonder worker—Electricity. Just as the electric range, the washing machine, the ironing machine, the suction cleaner, the Kelvinator, coffee percolator, waffle iron, grill, motorized sewing machine and other appliances have banished drudgery and made housekeeping a pleasant game, just so the electric fan, the curl¬ ing iron, the heating pad, the vibrator, the hair dryer, and other appliances have contributed immensely to the comfort and health and pleasure of the users of these wonder-working appliances. The Southern Public Utilities Company handles no appliances that have not been tested and proven in its own laboratories. Southern Public Utilities Company Charlotte Hickory mt.
