Foreword XHROUGH the pages of this volume, we, the staff of THE 1929 EDELWEISS (A-del-vis), have sought to keep alive the memories of happy yesterdays. Too soon they are cast into the inmost recesses of our minds as a result of the cares of after-college life. The theme, In Quest of the Edelweiss, typifies our efforts to attain the heights of learning accom- panied by treacherous paths, untrained foot- steps, and faulty judgments. The flower itself is known as the noble white of Switzerland, because of the altitude at which it grows and the perilous climbing necessary to procure it. Under the guidance of master minds we have striven to attain purity of thought and life so: Langour is not in our heart, Weakness is not in our word, Weariness not on our brow. We have chosen our path — Path to a clear-purposed goal, Path of advance! — but it leads A long, steep journey, thru sunk gorges, O ' er mountains in snow! ( Dr. Charles WrLLiAM Sommerville A.B., B.S., M.A., Ph. M Dedication HE nineteen - twenty - nine EDELWEISS is affectionately dedicated to Dr. Charles William Sommerville, who has endeared himself to the hearts of all who know him through his gentle nature, broad sympathy, under- standing heart, and loving counsel. 3n mUmoriatn ir.

OF 1929 S Senior Class History The day was hot as only September can be hot. Those freshmen who had donned their fall flannel dresses, or long-sleeved ginghams, and new tight shoes, remembering what the fashion magazines had said about the importance of first impressions, hurried back to their rooms in a wilting condition and changed to thin dresses and loose white shoes, having crushed pride for comfort under the stress of September sultriness and the doubtful joys of standing in registration line for hours on hours. One hundred and ten darling daughters had left their parental mansions, and packing their white graduation dresses among the best b:au ' s letters and other necessary articles, they had bravely tucked that funny feeling away in another pocket (for a little while, anyway) and taken the first step in this adventure called higher education. One can look back on it all now and smile — or even laugh — but it wasn ' t a laughing matter then — it was intensely serious! When we. this freshman class, had been running around for quite a few days like so many ships without rudders, our good friends and sisters, the juniors, decided that our energies would be more profitably directed if we had a rudder, so their President, Emily Frazer, called us to- gether one fine morning and we selected leaders for the year. Very wise freshmen we were too in our selection. That was the first blossoming of that wise judgment which this class evi- denced so often afterward. Jean Craig was elected president: Josephine Wharton, vice-president; Charlotte Guy, secretary, and Sara Virginia Lore, treasurer. Later we again shone in the selection of Miss Mary Key as our sponsor. Parties in the gym were quite the style that year and here one was introduced to the social life of Queens amid much cordiality, many interrogative introductions, and quantities of big red apples and stick candy. When the party and initiation days were over, the class settled more steadily to the intricacies of college algebra, French, English, history, Latin, Bible, and divers other shades of learning. The climax of the year was reached with the freshman party for the student body and faculty, which was given in May. The north side campus was the scene of festivities and a very lovely spectacle it was with the natural decorations of beautiful trees and soft green grass. The senior pergola was gaily betrimmed with vines and flowers, and from here punch was served. A chorus of young ladies, costumed as feminized gobs, entertained the guests with such lively numbers as She Was Just a Sailor ' s Sweetheart and When My Sugar Walks Down the Street! Blocks and blocks of brick ice cream in the class colors, red and white, were served. Looking back on that festive scene I remember the amazing number of new dresses that were among those present. In the fall of 1 926 the original hundred and ten had dwindled somewhat, but there were still quite a large and hearty group that returned to Queens to be known for a period as sopho- mores. This year the class officers were Nancy Ward, president; Ida Allison, secretary, and Isabel Smith, treasurer. Soon the progressive spirit of this class asserted itself in the form of a petition for certain privileges which were granted. Two Sophomores to Town proved quite a help to said sophomores ' respective purses. This was the first year, too, that the freshmen found themselves wearing jaunty white sailor caps on all occasions from a ruling of the formid- able sophomores. They were burned at a big bonfire on Thanksgiving Eve. Rat court was also a new proceeding, and the mysterious summons, moans and screeches, which have since be- come the familiar and expected thing for that particular time of the year, were seen and heard for the first time. Later in the year it was discovered that the treasury was at a low ebb. so it was decided to give a show. Very appropriately it was called a Variety Show. One act was a musical number furnished by out-of-school talent. The next was a short and sentimental playlet featuring the budding dramatic talent of the class. Next on the program came the Davidson quartette with selected numbers ranging from Hey, Diddle, Diddle, the Cat and the Fiddle to Knee Deep in Daisies. Between times there were choruses and more choruses. However, at the end the treasury was much fatter. As the weeks went on ability of this class became evident in many lines; executive ability, good judgment, dramatic and musical ability, literary talent. As any college will admit the junior class in most ways is the responsibility-bearing unit. To most students it is the year that means the most. Sallie Scott Erwin was chosen president this year with Mary Sanders Brookes as vice-president, Josephine Wharton as secretary, and Martha Burton as treasurer. During this year the class of ' 29 again petitioned for privileges and again they were granted. New dignity was won by one junior chaperone to show. A week-end in every month added greatly to the joys of many, especially the Carolinians. Under the capable direction of Jean Craig the Queens Blues blossomed out with an extra leaf, a brand new heading and many new innovations in matters of departments, printing, head- lining, etc. Queens first effort at a literary magazine also came out during this year, The Sceptre. The annual Junior-Senior prom was very successful. Again the north side campus was the scene of festivities. The dogwood is in bloom at this time of the year, and their enchanting white blossoms vied in beauty with the colorful Japanese lanterns. The tables for four were placed in the north end of the dining room and screened from the other section by colorful screens. The Japanese decorative scheme was carried out in the tiny Japanese umbrellas that were given as favors, and in the costumes of the waitresses. Seniors! At last, and yet after so short a time! The familiar, yet altered duties are re- sumed and the final space of college life is begun. Sallie Scott Erwin was again chosen presi- dent, and Josephine Wharton was elected vice-president; Edith Whittington, secretary, and Laura McNair treasurer. The heights of seniordom have been found not so cold and learned as they are proverbially known to be. but really very, very pleasant. Enough of the rocks have rolled down the mountain to make the going much easier, and yet not so many that there is no longer anything on which to try one ' s strength. No, not at all! When the treasury had its annual breakdown during this year, a tea room was decided on as the means of reimbursement. As most of the seniors were free during exams, and as every- body that is standing exams usually feels justified in spending her last nickel to be fed during this trying period as there are certainly no other joys to be procured, except the rather question- able one that we hear about called the joy of attaining knowledge. this time was selected as ideal for running a tea room in the Hut. It proved a very profitable scheme. It would not be right to leave the record of the class without mentioning the pleasure that the senior table has given. Amid its happy confusion the whole class has been brought together as a unit and real fellowship has been the result. Here in the conversation one can always catch the keynote of activities. During the spring months it is practice teaching. This new realm so suddenly entered brings forth much interest from the student teachers. For the last few weeks all the talk is of Commencement time. Invitations, credits, clothes and professions are all discussed in the same breath. Commencement, with all its honors and joys and such a happy time until the last day! ... A senior picks up her last possessions and walks from the stately portals — looking back between laughter and tears. Another leaves, and another, and another. And they are all gone. Sweet class! Good class! Loved class! Farewell ' — K. B. H. weus Senior Class Prophecy Being duly elected to the office of Class Prophet, I must consult someone to unveil the future and foretell the destiny of each member of the class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-nine. First of all I seek the Muses. I have heard that they have been the salvation and inspi- ration of many writers, and so I am full of expectation and hope as I anxiously await their arrival. I beg, implore and entreat, but the only sound I hear is the monotonous voice of the professor trying to tell us what a great man Napoleon was. No wonder I do not have any success when such a noble hero as Napoleon insists on disturbing my thoughts. But suddenly I am rewarded, for my long waiting, for Thalia, one of the Muses, whispers something in my ear which sounds like Somnus. Oh, fine! ' Somnus ' will be easy to get in touch with, because I have already listened to the history lesson long enough — ten whole minutes ! Immediately I made my first call on that mysterious person named Somnus. On being introduced into his kingdom. I stated my business. Somnus then called his son Morpheus and introduced me to him. How surprised I was to learn that this old man had such a handsome young son! To my delight, Morpheus seemed very interested in me, and invited me to go walking with him in the beautiful garden near the castle. As we went out, I noticed that Morpheus picked up a peculiar horn. While we were walking and chattering amiably, he turned his horn directly toward me. From the vapor that came forth many things began to take place. Look, he said. That is what you want to see. From the vapors that curled forth. I made out these words: Nineteen Twenty-nine Queens College graduates in the year Nineteen Hundred Fifty. Imagine my surprise when I saw someone whom I seemed to know acting as chief detective of Scotland Yards. It was Virginia Lore, and with her was her assistant, Lucy Dameron. But the scene changes suddenly, and I am on familiar ground. Queens University campus. A lady with white hair came out, to whom the girls all smile and bow politely as she passes. It is the Dean of Women, who proves to be my old classmate, Frances Timme. And there is Bill Cochran acting as head of the home economics department. Ida Allison is professor of education. Charlotte Anderson is head of the modern language department. Mary Lindsay Beall is running a tea room and is making a success of it. because the Queens girls like to eat as well as they used to. Loula Boyd Beaty is coaching the famous ball team at Queens. The next scene is New York. A newsboy is standing near enough so that I can see on the front page of the New York Times a large picture of a familiar looking face. It is Mary Sanders Brookes. She has just been made editor-in-chief of the paper, and Mary King Poteat is busi- ness manager. Martha Burton married a successful banker in New York soon after she graduated from Queens. Her five children keep her busy, but she is so happy she doesn ' t mind working for them. Nancy Cathey is in the spotlight of Broadway. She is one of the most famous actresses of the day. Jean Craig and Kathleen Hollingsworth are creating a sensation with their modern novels. All of the newspapers are full of praise. Irene and Virginia Crater are the organizers of one of the most popular national clubs of the day, W. H. M., namely We Hate Men. Ora Mae Crenshaw has won world-wide fame by solving the problem zero divided by zero. Hattie Ruth Collins and Grace Deese are owners of a large chain of five- and ten-cent stores, their store in New York being even higher than the Woolworth Building. The vapor seems to envelop me and different places whirl by in rapid succession. Nida DePass is professor of French in the University of Paris. Virginia Page DuBois and Julia Prather are taking the leading roles in grand opera. Sallie Scott Erwin is accompanying them at the piano. Laura Moore Gavin and Margaret Hagood are prominent attorneys-at-law in s Charlotte. Their service is so much in demand that their hushands are complaining ahout being neglected. Elizabeth Henderson is now the chief of police in Charlotte. She sees that young Lochinvars do not park their cars in front of Queens to flirt with the girls, because she remem- bers what anxiety they used to cause Dr. Frazer. Elizabeth Hughes is a justice of the peace in York. South Carolina. She had the pleasure of marrying Mary Long to the professor of biology of Davidson. We see now why Mary was so interested in getting her B.S.H.E. degree at Queens. Ann Johnston and Juanita Sory have founded a school of expression in Washington. It is recognized as the best scho ol of its kind in the world. Helen and Sarah Johnston are owners of a large cake manufactory. They are so renowned that the Prince of Wales ordered his wed- ding cake from them to be sent by aeroplane. Quinn Long is president of the American Chemical Society. Her work is in radium com- pounds. Martha Lee McLean is assisting Quinn in this work. Essie Lowder is one of the most famous doctors of the world. She has just returned from an important doctors ' convention in Paris. Virginia Moore and Georgia Spratt are the leading comedians in Keith ' s vaudeville. Laura McNair and her husband are missionaries in Africa. Cornelia Pomeroy and Mary C. Thompson have proven themselves great workers in Laura ' s school. The familiar campus of Queens University keeps returning, and whom should I see but Thelma Stone running to take dictation from the president of the university. She has had such good training fro m Dr. Frazer, that the school feels that it can ' t do without her. Marian Shannon, the university architect, has just completed the plans for a new gymnasium, and she is proudly showing them. Nella Sharpe is giving a piano concert tonight in London. She is so renowned that aeroplane excursion rates are being given so that Americans can attend the concert. Evelyn and Julia Boyd Smith, prominent psychologists, are diagnosing cases at juvenile court in Washington. Berniece Tomberlin is teaching Latin at Columbia University, and Edythe Whittington is getting her Ph.D. there, so they talk over old times at Queens quite often. Jo Wharton is the star member of the girls ' league baseball team. She has won more fame than Babe Ruth used to have. Margaret Wilson is president of the Federal Bank in Washington. Louise Yow and Sarah Vance are noted chiropractors in Chicago. They have accomplished what seem to be miracles in their work. Just then I heard my secretary calling to tell me that the Governor of North Carolina had arrived to ask my advice on the educational problems of our state. Then suddenly. I realized that it was not my secretary, but my professor calling on mc to tell about Napoleon ' s last battle. He was grumbling about people going to sleep in his class. But by providence the bell rang at this time, and I made my way half dazed from the room. I decided to write down what had been revealed to me. With that, I beg to leave each of you to your fate, with a wish that fate may be kind to you. — M. R. L., ' 29. 3t v.

Flossie. (Signed) LOULA BOYD BEATY, Testator. The White Edelweiss In the still white Alps, so the legend goes, That the old men tell by the fire at night, On the steepest peak, is a flower that holds The secret of power in its petals white. And many are they who have sought to climb To the heights where the wild white Edelweiss grows, With stave, and with staff, and with ladder strong Have they braved the crags and the aged snows. But many have failed, for the flower grows high, And the snows of a thousand years lie deep, And a stave may break, and a staff may fall, Nor can ladder nor rope reach the highest steep. Now a wise old man, so the story goes, Spoke to a youth who sought the flower, Three things, my son, and these three alone, Can wrest from the mountains their blossom of Power. ' You must have, if you find the Edelweiss, An arm that is strong, an eye that is clear, And for keeping your courage along the way, A brave heart and true that knows no fear. We, too, have been seeking the blossom of Power, And high were the crags and deep the snows, But strong arm, clear eye, and heart brave and true, Have led us, at last, where the Edelweiss grows. M.

C. Dear Miss Craig, Better men than I have failed, at least in the estimation of those not chosen, in an attempt to pass judg- ment on feminine beauty, so I wish to assure you that my task was a most difficult one. My selections, unfortunately, were only photo- graphs. Had it been a question of selecting personal beauty coupled with its owner the story might well have been a different one, for personality is, in my estimation, the greater part of beauty. Modern photography is at beet so variable and uncertain that even an approximately fair judgment is impossible. I did the best I could - those not chosen have no reason to feel slighted, but should they want revenge let him receive it who should - the photographer. Yours truly, S Elizabeth Baxter Williams WAV n VY On May Morning ' Now the bright morning star, day ' s harbinger. Comes dancing from the east, and leads with her The flowery May, who from her green lap throws The yellow cowslip, and the pale primrose. Hail, bounteous May. that dost inspire Mirth, and youth, and warm desire; Woods and groves are of thy dressing. Hill and dale doth boast thy blessing. Thus we salute thee with our early song. And welcome thee, and wish thee long. — John Milton. 4 Jean Marion Maid of Honor Rising Seniors Alma Mater Deep among the waving forest. Far from bustling town. Stands our noble Alma Mater; Proudly looks she down. Chorus: Sing her praises, lift her chorus Over hill and dale! Hail to thee, our Alma Mater! Hail to Queens! All hail! Deep among the fragrant pine trees Is our college true. There our noble Alma Mater Proudly stands in view.

But they needn ' t be. ELECTRICITY — the Modern Servant — has knocked the drudgery out of housework wherever it has been given an opportunity. Al- ways on tap, always a-rearing to go, electricity today is adding years of brightness and happiness to countless thousands of house- wives who have taken the trouble to find out just what electricity can do in the home. We invite attention to the quality of the electric service rendered in the communities served by us, and particularly to our liberal mer- chandising policy which, because of low prices and convenient terms, is enabling thousands of housewives to enjoy conveniences and comforts in a degree that would be impossible under ordinary circumstances.

FROM THE DIARY OF THE ADVERTISING MANAGER The day the annual goes to press is The End of a Perfect Day, and I realize I am So Tired and Broken-hearted, for I have just discovered that while working steadily on the annual Wedding Bells Have Broken Up That Old Gang of Mine. One of my dear sisters sing- ing I Wanna be Loved by You has captured My Man and now he is telling her I Can ' t Give You Anything But Love, Baby. With a terrible case of St. Louis Blues. I board that Dream Train to find a place Where the Shy Little Violets Grow (but in reality to get away from that potent Carolina Moon. ) It wasn ' t long before Dan Cupid shot me with A Precious Little Thing Called Love and I was soon Knee Deep in Daisies and Head Over Heels in Love. Some time later I heard that the annual was published free from debt, so, with my case of St. Louis Blues permanently gone on account of That Dusky Stevedore, I started Making Whoopee because It Was All For Love and Good Old Halbaners. But when that Dusky Stevedore started singing You ' re the Cream in My Coffee I knew he was Tight Like That and I didn ' t believe him. — Dolly Moore. A puckered brow, a shaking hand, ' Twas thus that I bsgan. A furrowed brow, an empty brain. A constant prayer, ' Don ' t call again. ' A ringing phone, a forceful yell. Another empty page?
