Her Majesty 'Astonished' Over Honor By KIT HARGER A vivacious blue-eyed belle will hold the royal reins over the Loyola campus this year. She is Her Majesty, Margaret Blades. However, when one of her friends gently broke the news to her Friday with "Hey, Maggie, congrats; heard you made campus queen," she didn't feel very queenly with the rain slowly dripping over her astonished face and down her nose. Her astonishment is hard to understand. Margaret ought to be an old hand at this sort of thing by now. She was named the Ideal Girl in her senior year at St. Joseph's Academy. At Loyola she was elected Pershing Rifle Sponsor, was a maid in the Campus Court, and won the National Pershing Rifle Sponsors' Contest for the South last year. To top off her honors she was elected First Battalion ROTC sponsor for 1957. Born in New Orleans 20 years ago Queen Margaret is now a junior in medical technology and says she is more than happy in her work, "hard as it is sometimes." She is a member of the Med Tech Club and is kept quite busy as health secretary for Dr. Albert Johnson, campus physician. "Sometimes," she'll tell you, "I get to help the doctor with his patients; it's then that I'm in my glory—l feel like I'm really accomplishing something in medicine." A gridiron fan from way back, she loves to yell at football games (in a manner befitting a queen, of course) and is naturally fond of basketball and the Loyola Wolfpack.Unfortunately, fellows, the queen goes steady with a LSU student, Irvin Plaisance. Oh well, it happens to the best of girls! She lives here with her parents and has a younger brother in the Navy. Essay By Bourgeois Appears In 'Grail1 "Keeping the Family Together," ar article by Dr. Lawrence L. Bourgeois, associate professor of sociology, is appearing in the current issue of Grail magazine.Dealing with family relationships and how they can be strengthened, Dr. Bourgeois emphasizes a need for family unity. Because of the complex society in which we live, it is to be expected that individual members of the family have different interests, he says. Yet, as brought out in the article, "The key to common interests is coactivities."Talent Nite To Feature 20 Acts Twenty acts will headline Loyola's biggest show of the year, Friday, December 6, at 8:15 p.m. in the Municipal Auditorium, when Blue Key, national honor fraternity, presents its 20th annual Talent Night.
