This statement was seen in the Blues last week: “The present staff of the Queens Blues has but a month or more to work, as the election of the new staff takes place the last of February and the newly elected staff will begin work the last of March. It is this now.
Last Tuesday evening the editor-in-chief, associate editor and assistant editors of the Queens Blues met in order to select these girls whom they thought to be capable of making good writers and managers of the weekly paper for the next school session. Advice being given by the English instructor and after careful consideration of the ability of each, a number for each position on the staff were selected in order that the entire staff might vote for those that would carry out the plans for next year and make a good paper for Queens.
A meeting of the entire staff followed and with much careful thinking a new staff was selected and it will be the duty of the incoming staff to take charge of the paper the first week in April.
The editor-in-chief was voted upon first. Sarah Frazer was elected. Sarah was news editor during this session and has proven herself capable of the work that now awaits her. With her assistants one can only be sure of a promising Queens Blues.
Mable Williams, who has served as assistant editor this year, was elected managing editor. With Mable’s past record one could only be sure of her success as managing editor. Juanita Honeycut was elected associate editor, and Annie Barton McFall business manager.
The assistant editors are Pauline Arehart, Frances Davant, Ethel Braswell, and Eloise Reed.
The remainder of the staff is as follows: Athletic editor, Frances Blythe; feature editor, Clare Yates; news editor, Jean Craig; around the campus, Kathleen Brown; music editor, Margaret Neisler; alumnae editor, Sammy Scott; home economics editor, Elizabeth Carmichael; blue triangle editor, Nancy Ward. Reporters: Eva McCoy, Mae Joyner, Edythe Whittington, Addie Mae Edmundson and Kathleen Hollingsworth. Advertising managers: Evelyn Martin and Virginia Moore. Circulation managers: Evelyn Guire and Elizabeth Triplett.
With the co-operation of each, the Queens Blues can not help but make everyone not “blue,” but happy.
