The 'Primrose Path
Well . back on the beaten path again after a long silence . .. Don't
think it hasn't been beaten during the interim though . .. the dust kicked
up by J-Hoppers, basketball fiends, Caduceus-ites and other terpsichorean
worshippers in general has been terrific . . especially was it thick at that all-
star hockey game between the Betas and the Theta Delts . . . When it
settled and the results of the massacre were visible the Betas found they
had skated off with the victory in the first few moments of play ... 2 to 0.
'Romeo And Juliet' Collects Crowds ...
Drama lovers collected at "Romeo and Juliet" last week to shed a few
tears over the sad fate of those two lovers ... Mary Frances Adair and Dick
Lrch... Betty Crandall and Bill Lord ... Joanne Kimmell and Johnny
Saunders.. . Dotty Baxter and Chuck Coe were among those who gave over
their evenings to the pursuit of art ...
Edith Zerbe and Dud Doerr celebrated George's birthday Monday by
squeezing into the Intramural Building along with several hundred other
fans to watch the basketball game . . . Among the familiar faces in the horde
were those of Adelaide Ely and Johnny Smithers . . . Anne Smith and Jack
Audie.. . Nancy Cassidy and Bob Burhans ...
The Lawyers Have Their Fling.. .
There have been rumors to the effect that the Law cast its grim shadow
over' the festivities of the past week-end . . . In fact evidence has been
obtained from dependable sources that a large number of future barristers
were seen tripping down the Primrose Path accompanied by beautiful ladies
in evening dress.. . The Law Club has been tried and found guilty of en-
couraging light and frivolous activity among its members . . . even going so
far as to sponsor a dance Friday night ...

Harriet Shackleton and Grafton Sharp . . . Harriet Heath and Stek Mc-
Callum . ...Jean Lee and Jim Mahafee . . . Betty Anne Beebe and Jack
MCathy. . . Jane O'Ferrall and Fred Goodigg . . . Betty Butzel and 'Dick

Hkttibel Grow and Dick Erwin . . . Barbara Teal and Joe Taylor .
Barbara Heath and Jack Mead . . . Frances Haberkorn came out from
Detroit to join the fray with Jim Miner ...
Due to the unquestionable characters of the persons involved action
on the case has been suspended ...
The Alpha Chi Nursery...
The Alpha Chi Omegas turned their house into a nursery Saturday night
at the dance given by the pledges . . The guests were entertained with
toys which they drew from a grab bag . . . Laura Spencer, who had Jack
Kerr as her guest, drew a doll in Tyrolean costume to take to J.G.P.
rehearsal with her for inspiration . . . Dick Wangelin, guest of Betty Kay
Jones, formed a touching affection for a white rabbit which hopped around
the dance floor after him on the end of a rubber tube ... Florence Midworth
and Bud Wyman recalled the days of their youth with a sparkling number
on a skipping rope. . . Jumping rope became the mode of the moment ...
dainty damsels and stalwart youths threw themselves into the sport with
great gusto . .. They say the floor has a distinct sag now to remind future
members of joyous times had by their predecessors ...
Dorothy Oostdyke asked Joe Starkey to come out from Detroit for the
party.. . Dorothy Welch was with Tom Green ... Day Burgess with Tommy
Peterson . . . Doris Wisner with Willis Player . .. Sitty Kean with John
Moran . .. Jane Mutschler with Irvin Bailey . . . Dorothy Shutt with Bob
Trimbey. . . Marion Stombler with Grant Barnes ... Nancy Hulwick with

The Faithful Seek Old Haunts...

haunts were not exactly deserted... The Delts had a table at the Union..,
a big one ... In between dances Virginia Van Dyke and Murray Campbell
Peg Strickler and Bert Wellman. . . Betty Gatward and Frank Danne-
miller. . . Dorothy McGregor and Howard Parker ... Louise Howard and

overflow into the dining room. . . Jane Edmundson and King Louis had a
table with Betty Schuele and James Douglas. . . Doris Holt and Jack Cul-
bertson were with Betty Shaffer and Dick Oliver . .
The high point of the evening was the brilliant fanfare from the

a blaze of spotlights . . . When the guests had recovered from the shock
dancing continued and among the dancers were Jean Lillie and Bob Archer
... Betty Ward and Bob Baldwin ... Mary Alice Krieger and Fred George.. ..

"Twas in the little village of
Schlitz-am-rye, tucked away in the
corner of the Tyrolian highlands,
that Fritz Budel sang his touching
serenade to the lovely lady who lived
on the other side of the wall. "She
is schy; she is schweet; she is shape-
ly" mocks Kurt, the nonchlant vil-
lage swain. Then Katinka, the ob-
ject of all the attention, peeps her
fair head over the wall and the fun
begins.
Play Has Songs
From the opening chorus to the
splendid finale "Feather in His Cap,"
the 1937 Junior Girls Play is filled
with rollicking songs and lively
dances. The gay Tyrolian costumes
splash the stage with color as the.
Sargent cynically comments on the
dullness. of life in general and life
in Schlitz-am-rye in particular, and
the effervescent poet counteracts the
cynicism with an ode compased of
50 cantos for every occasion.
The play which depicts the gay
and frolicsome life in the Tyrol has
an under theme of satire on the life
of America. The village policemen
extol the crime of our country and
turn positively green with envy be-
cause they have no law-breaking
citizens to arrest. The traditional
European idea that America is the
land of dreams where fortunes are
made overnight and everyone lives a
gay and carefree life is dominant
throughout the play. Spirited dia-
fessional'heights. In 1915 Prof. John
L. Brumm directed "The Comeback"
which was given in Toledo as well as
Ann Arbor. Professor Brumm di-
rected the plays for 10 years. In
1916 "Yankee Yogul" appeared and
for the first time the play was taken
to Detroit. ,t was opened to the
public there, although still closed to
the men in Ann Arbor.
There folloveda series of plays
whose titles seemed to stress allitera-
tion, "Patricia Passes," "Selina Sue,"
being among this group. "Jane
Climbs a Mountain," produced in
1923 was the occasion for the long-
looked for opening of the play to
Ann Arbor men, the other half of
the campus.
Swedish Performances Given.
During the twenties the annual
Junior Girls Play gained in size and
scope. Thousands of dollars were
spent on costumes and scenery and
the play ran a five night engagement
at the Whitney Theatre. Junior wom-
en spent the whole year working on
the production. Rehearsals and work
on the properties continued from
September through March, when the
play was presented. At the end of
the decade came the well-known old
bug-a-boo, Depression. He put a
damper on the extravaganzas and the
play regained a little of its amateur
tone, though losing none of its fresh-
ness.
The past few years the junior
women have produced plays that are
