Stanley, Miss Jeannette Perry, Miss Marian Durell, and Dr. Margaret Bell. At Speakers Table These patrons, together with mem- bers of Senior Society and Mortar- board, senior honorary groups, will sit at the speaker's table. Julie Kane, '36, chairman of last year's J.G.P., will preside as toastmaster for the affair. There will be a special table for the members of the central commit- tee of last year's junior girls' produc- tion including Kathryn Rietdyk, Joyce Black, Marjorie Morrison, Bar- bara Bates, Jane Fletcher, Margaret Hiscock, Dorothy Shappell, Florence Harper, Grace Bartling, Sue Thomas, and Betty Chapman, chairman of this year's Senior Supper. Also at this table will be seated the women who played the leads in the 1935 produc- tion. Senior Supper, a long-established tradition, marks the first time that fourth-year women appear in their caps and gowns. This year for the first time, however, not only mem- bers of Mortarboard and Senior So- ciety, but all senior women will wear their caps with their gowns. Form- erly only members of the two honor- ary organizations have worn the caps at the dinner. To Attend Play After the supper, the group in a body will attend the opening perfor- mance of this year's Junior Girls Play, "Sprize" at the Lydia Mendel- ssohn Theatre. Committee members for the affair are: Betty Greve, '36, caps and gowns; Miss Thomas and Miss Bart- ling, decorations; and Miss Rietdyk, patronesses. Tickets for the supper may be pur- chased from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. March 23 through the 26th, in the Under- graduate Office of the League. The price of the tickets is 65 cents which includes both the dinner and the play. Group reservations may be made by sororities and dormitories but the money for the entire group should be presented when the reservations are made, according to Miss Chapman. Caps and gowns may be obtained at the League at the same time that the tickets are purchased. Gowns may be rented but the caps are sold out- right along with the collars. Finance Chairman Makes Report On J.G.P. Contributions More than two hundred and sev- enty dollars has already been turned in by the junior women for the sup- port of the 1936 Junior Girls Play, "Sprize!" Grace Snyder, finance chairman, announced. This amount shows an increase of approximately thirty dollars over last year's collections, Miss Snyder said. Additional collections will be made up until the opening of the musical revue. Every sorority and independent woman has been canvassed -each woman being taxed $1. This system of collecting from all junior women has been functioning for a number of years. The 1936 production will open at 8:15 p.m. Thursday, March 26 and will continue for an additional two- day run with a matinee performance Saturday, March 28. The opening night will once again carry out the 30-year old tradition of honoring senior women. This year's play includes a cast of 195 women with an additional 100 women working on the various play committees COMBINATIONS IN STYLE Combinations of colors will be seen in every modc of dress this spring. A black hat, blue suit and brown shoes will be seen together. Other en- sembles that will seem equally out- landish to some, are comprised of aj black bowler hat, grey suit, fawn colored mocha gloves, brown buck- skin shoes, and blue tie. And it's good style!

The ball this year will be disting- uished by unusual favors and decora- tions, according to Charles A. Fram- burg, '36, chairman of the decora- tion committee.

WATCH & JEWELRY REPAIRING and Dorothy Barrett, '39A. - Opening Of UniversityI When Michigan became a state in 1837, the Constitution which then became operative, Professor Davis continued, provided the legislature with the responsibility of providing for a system of common schools and maintaining a university. This third great forward step in education in Michigan, the speaker averred, bTought about the opening of the University in 1841. Explaining that the school had difficulty at first in obtaining stu- dents satisfactorily trained, Profes- sor Davis told how the legislature "came to the rescue" by permitting several small school districts to com- bine and to provide a college prepara- tory department. Once high schools began to be formed, expansion took place very rapidly, he added. Professor Davis emphasized the in- fluence upon education of Dr/ James B. Angell, who became president of the University in 1871. He shaped, Payoff" with James Dunn.
