HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF ' 28 When the class of 1928 began its journey through college-land, in Septem- ber, 1924, its members did not realize what a wonderful trip they had before thtm. Like all people that are traveling for the first time, these tourists did not know much about this kmd of life. With the help of more experienced com- panions, who had traveled these roads before, they managed to exist for a few weeks. By that time the thrill, excitment, and in some cases, homesickness, had worn off, and these young travelers realized that they must have somebody to lead and direct them on their journey. They showed very good judgment . when they chose Mabel Huston McFall to be their leader for the first quarter of their trip. It did not take them long to become accustomed to this new life, and they began to cover territory rapidly. They saw many new sights and learned many things which they will never forget. When these tourists started on the second quarter of their journey, they asked their former leader to direct them again. It was not a very easy job, but she consented, and very capably led them farther on their journey. Many of the travelers had dropped out, for this life had too many hardships to suit some of them. However, it pleased others, and they would have been sad indeed if they could not have continued their course through this big, fine land. It was during this second part of the adventure that the land itself improved and gained 3, higher standard. This made the travelers happier and more determined to con- tinue their course. At the beginning of the third quarter of the journey, some girls who had been traveling elsewhere joined this group of tourists. On the other hand some of the old members decided to change their routes and try some other college- land tour. Among these was the leader of the group. They then chose Eliza- beth Carmichael to guide them through the rest of the course. She was very efficient, and realized the responsibility of her position. However, by this time the travelers had become experienced in this kind of life and were helping others to get their start. The fourth quarter of the wonderful trip through college-land was the most brilliant of all. The travelers could actually see in the distance the goal they had been striving so long to reach. New members joined the group at this time and some old ones returned to reach the goal with the same companions with whom they had begun. As they looked back over the years they had spent together with this in view, they realized that it had been a happy time. Of course, a certain amount of worry and sadness had come, but they remembered the saying that nothing is worth having that is not worth working for. And now the long-looked-for goal has been reached. Queens College-land is a most beautiful land and the members of this class are ready to recommend it to all other voung people as a place for the greatest spiritual and intellectual training and growth. They leave it with the hope that the coming generations will find this land as fine and beautiful as they have found it. —J. H., ' 28. CLASS PROPHECY In June, nineteen hundred and forty-eight, I was touring the world in an aeroplane, when suddenly there loomed up in front of us a large tower. I beckoned to my guide and asked him for what purpose the tower was erected. He informed me that a famous German inventor had completed an instrument by which one could see any part of the world he so desired, and the high tower was for the purpose of giving a better view of the different countries. In a few minutes we had made a convenient landing, and I went in to see this wonderful invention. The scientist received us very cordially, taking us into a very dark room wherein the instrument was located. The inventor asked me to name a place that I would like to see, and after slight hesitation I said, Queens College, Charlotte, North Carolina, U. S. A. The scientist adjusted a few dials, and then asked me to look into the telescope. (What a sight met my eyes! ) There, unrolled before my vision, was a panorama of loveliness. Beautiful buildings, winding pathways, myriads of flower-gardens and cool sparkling fountains! Over the front of the largest building was a sign reading, Queens University. Two young matrons strolling down the walk attracted my attention, for their faces seemed vaguely familiar to me. I finally recognized them as Alexandra Mack and Eva McCoy, and I naturally surmised that they were deans in this large and beautiful Alma Mater of mine. Again I looked into the telescope, and discovered that Mae Joyner was the director of the largest symphony orchestra in the world. I found Evelyn Martin in the studios of Hollywood. After being selected as the prettiest girl at Queens, a prominent producer saw her name and picture in the Charlotte Observer and engaged her to sign a contract immediately. Sarah Frazer has been in the House of Representatives for three consecu- tive years. Mary Douglas Smith is Chief Justice of the World Court. Erances Blythe is the head of a great aeroplane concern. She and Jessie Jarrell are great rivals in this business, but friendly rivals at that. Everybody knows Ethel Braswell ' s fame as a writer of poems. She is called the greatest woman poet in America. Elizabeth Carmichael, as Governor of New York, launched an attack against the liquor traffic. She has successfully abolished whiskey in that State, Annie Barton McEall is married, and she has gone to Africa with her mis- sionary husband. Africa has already been greatly influenced by the work that these two are doing. Juanita Huneycutt is a great opera singer. She ranks with Mile. Jeritza in the quality and tone of her voice. Liz Wharton is called the Belle of Broadway now. Her husband is very jealous of her many admirers but she says this jealousy is unfounded for she loves Rod only. Pauline Arehart is a very eminent psychologist. She diagnoses the different criminal cases so thoroughly that Supreme Court never gives its final decision without first consulting her. Zelma Atwell has the leading role in New York ' s latest musical comedy. This production has proved to be very popular on account of the artistic tech- nique of its leading lady. )he (jdelwciss Mildred Lee Gaston and Lennis Farnsworth are heads of a school which offers a short and complete course in Home Management. Edith Hager is the sole owner of the famous Hager Mine, which is located in South Africa. It produces millions of dollars worth of diamonds annually. Bessie Stout, Cornelia Garrison and Sarah Daniel have placed a new car on the market. It is small, but has grown to be very popular. Pauline Chandler married her landscape gardener. Pauline is actively engaged in helping her husband. Margaret Whitted married a French count, and is a very prominent figure in French social circles now. She wanted to run for Parliament, but her husband said that a Countess ' place was in the palace, and Margaret agreed with him. Margaret Hodges went on a visit to India and married the British Com- mander there. The natives adopted her as their queen, and each tribe comes annually to pay tribute to her. Mildred Crayton owns and operates one of the most exclusive hat shops in Paris. Elizabeth Williams and Mabel Huston McFall opened a letter-writing concern. They write letters of all descriptions for other people, and their busi- ness is exceedingly popular, and prosperous as well. Ruth Cox and Willie Lee Long have gone as missionaries to the North Pole, accompanied by their husbands. Virginia Ligon has gained honorable mention as the first girl to fly around the world in an aeroplane. She is now called the Miss Lindbergh of the Air. Muriel Jones and Mary Moore Montgomery have just returned from a trip to Mars. They have brought back many strange and weird reports of the inhabitants of this planet. Sara Ross has gained much fame as a tragedienne. She is hailed by critics as the Second Sara Bernhardt. Lucretia Watson has discovered the formula for making gold. The govern- ment will no longer have to have it shipped to them from other countries. Marie Vance has written a book on How to Keep Husbands. Margaret Cochran, Annie Bell Brantley and Helen Barlow have organized a detective agency. The government always seeks their aid when there is a perplexing criminal case on their hands. Flora DePass and Margaret Neisler, though happily married, decided that they would like to have a career of their own, so they financed and published a literary magazine, which is considered by critics as the best of its kind in the South. Ethel Ratchford is the owner of a large chain of Five and Ten Cent Stores in the South. I had been enlightened as to the destinies of all my classmates with the exception of one and she was Clair Yates. I told the inventor this, and she laughed, walked over to the side of the room and pressed a button. As the room was flooded with light I gasped with astonishment, for my previous informer and the inventor of the wonderful instrument was no other than Clair Yates herself! After my interview with her had ended. I went on my way rejoicing in the splendid achievements of my classmates. — E. C, ' 28. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1928 OF QUEENS COLLEGE We, the Senior Class of Queens College, in the City of Charlotte, Meck- lenburg County, in the State of North Carolina, on this the twenty-second day of the fifth month of the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight, do hereby make and publish this, our last will and testament, in manner and form following: Article I Item 1. To Queens we bequeath our love, gratitude and the promise of helping to make the Institution a bigger and better Queens. Item 2. To our beloved president, Dr. Frazer: vice-president, Mr. Jar- mon; dean. Miss McLean; and assistant dean. Miss Forman, we leave our eternal love and loyalty. Item 3. To the whole faculty, we will our love, admiration, respect and appreciation for having so ably guided us through our college days. Item 4. To our faithful and beloved sponsor, Miss Naive, we leave our fervent hope that she may find untold happiness in the future to recompense her for her three years of cheerful and delightful service to the Class of 1 928. Item 5. To Dr. Somerville we will the hope that before next September the world will have many new books for him to use as parallel, since we know positively that the present supply is exhausted. Item 6. To Dr. Ninniss we leave the written request beseeching the author- ities to lengthen the all too short chapel period to two and one-half hours. Our hope is that Dr. Ninniss will long remember us with grateful thoughts for our interested consideration of his happiness and welfare. Article II Item 1. We, the Senior Class, do will and bequeath to the rising Seniors our brilliant scholastic achievements and records, in the hope that they may prove to be an incentive for their future work. Our good looks with our charm and winning personalities we leave them also. To the day students of ' 29, the ' 28 day students leave the much used and enjoyed privilege of entering the dormitories before 3:30. Item 2. To our sister class, the rising Juniors, we leave the much coveted and carefully guarded privilege of sponsoring Stunt Night, believing that they will live up to the example set them by the donors, of making Stunt Night the hit of the season. Item 3. To the class of 1931 we bestow our congratulations on having lived through Sophomore week (three months) and coming out of it apparently unharmed permanently. Item 4. To all future classes we leave our earnest wish for you to be brave, courageous and true, to be able to withstand the treatment of the afore- said Sophomores. We earnestly hope that after the modiste green chapeaux have become passe you may realize the joy and privilege of being a Queens student. Article III Item 1. I, Lib Carmichael, will my privilege of making numerous announcements in chapel to Loula Boyd Beaty, being cognizant of the latter ' s great timidity in such matters. Item 2. I, Mary Douglas Smith, leave my much used privilege of Tuesday afternoon engagements to Margaret Macomson, in order that she may have a long time in which to anticipate su ch bliss. Item 3.

SONG OF THE CLASS OF 1928 (TUNE: End of a Perfect Day ) Now we ' ve come to the end of our college days, To the end of a journey, too. We must all start out on a separate way To begin a new career. Our Senior days were the best we ' ve known, And we ' ll cherish them every one. But now that the time has come to go. We can only journey on. We shall cherish the mem ' ries of Q. C. dear. In our hearts forever more. For mem ' ries of classmates and teachers, too. Shall cast light on our future lives. May our Alma Mater in time to come Be proud of us every one, For her loyalty stands as a monument. To every race we ' ve run. — E. B,, ' 28.

Faithful to the memory of classmates and friends. Who went out on their separate ways? It may fill your heart with gladness As you turn through it some day. It may drive away your sadness When you are aged and grey. O. the joy that it gives you As you turn the pages through; How It makes you love your classmates And your Alma Mater true. And you show it to your loved ones, And then watch them o ' er it pore, Then file the book safely away ' Mongst your other precious store. O, the joy that it may bring you In the twilight of your life. When your heart is full of grieving From the trials of mortal strife. Just to rummage through its pages And find each classmate there, Back through the golden gates of memories Roaming, free from care. Ethel Braswell, ' 28.
