ext year. The Senior Girls'
established as an annual
feature of the Commence-
ys have varied considerably
matter and place of pre-,
sentation. Unlike the Aunior Girls'
play none of them have been college
plays or plays written by the girls
themselves. The list of authors in-
cludes Sheridan, whose "School' for
Scandal" was presented in University'
Hall in 1913; Percy McKaye, who gave
special permission to produce his
play, "The Scare Crow," in 1911 even
while it was playing on Broadway;
Louis Parker, whose "Pomander
Walk" was given at the Whitney the-
ater in 1922; Alfred Noyes, whose
story of "Sherwood" with Robin Hood
and his Maid Marion, was produced
at an outdoor theater behind the
grounds of the President's home last
year.
The plays have been under the 'di-
rection of Prof. John L. R. Brumm of-
the journalism department for several
years and he has also consented to
direct the senior girls this year in the
production of "If I Were King" by
Justin McCarthy. This is to be pre-
sented at the Whitney theater, June
13th.
