nt urpn s It aft THE MICHIGAN DAILY II ~.~awt~IN l~e HE ICHIAN AIL League Sponsors Projects For Members of Each Class FROM NURSE TO ADMINISTRATOR: Dean Shows Varied Backgrounc Each year the Women's League sponsors a major project for the women of each class - Frosh Weekend, Soph Show, Junior Girls' Play and Senior Night. Freshmen women take part in Frosh Weekend during the spring. Early in the fall semester they gather at the League to draw for their teams - the Maize or the Blue. Each team selects an original theme and prepares to present the best all-around c a m p u s dance. The teams are judged on decorations, budget, floorshow, tickets, programs, and publicity. Originated in Spread Frosh Weekend originated in the Freshman Spread, a project which was eliminated in the early twentie,. A freshman pageant called the "History of Music" in 1924 is the first actual record of a freshman project. A series of dances performed by freshman women, it was an outdoor spec- tacle performed just before sun- down. This custom continued for al- most ten years. For a few years after the de- pression, when the freshman wo- men were forced to look for self- supporting projects, various en- tertainment projects were held. Return to Pageant In 1936 the freshmen returned to their traditional pageant of dances. Any sophomore who can sing, dance, build sets, draw posters, or solicit ads may take part in the Soph Show, which produces a Broadway musical each year. Ori- ginally called Sophomore Cab-' aret, it became Soph Scandals in 1954 and finally Soph Show in 1956. The production is in its third year as a co-ed project. The Junior Girls' Play was born 55 years ago last March when half a dozen junior women gave a skit of take-offs on prominent members of the senior class for senior women. Produced by Juniors The oldest production on cam- pus, JGP is written, produced, and acted by the women of the junior class working with a professional dramatic adviser. The first performance of JGP each year is given at Senior Night whenr the central committee in- vites all senior women to dinner and entertainment. The senior women come decor- ated with their "degree of at- tachment." Married women blow out candles, engaged women suck lemons, pinned women exchange fraternity pins for safety pins, and unattached women toss a penny for each year they have been unattached into a wishing well.

No One Knows' When asked what her idea of a well rounded education was, the Dean of Women smiled, looked at her vast collection of books cover- ing countless subjects, and an- swered, "No one knows what a better person or a better life is.
