AGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY , MONDAY, OCTOBER 29, Junior Girls Play Honors Senior Women. Annual Feature Is Produced, Acted, Directed Completely By Student Committees An annual feature of the school year is the Junior Girls' Play, pre- sented by the women of the junior class in honor of their graduating senior sisters. Written, directed, produced, and acted by members of the junior class, the play is presented in Lydia Men- delssohn theatre three times, the first 'for seniors only,' and the second and third nights to a regular audience. In former days, the play even trav- eled in to the Cass theatre in De- troit to play for the parents of the coeds, but since the war, the juniors have limited their expeditions to vis- iting army camps. Take It From There' Last year the class of 1946 gave the play 'Take It From There,' a scene of which will be given at the Fresh- man Rally. The theme was a futur- istic college, and the difficulties that an investigating committee encoun- tered there. Other themes have been a 'take-off' on Alice in Wonderland, a 'Trip to France' and several cos- tume comedies. This year the Junior Play will be given during the first semester, in contrast to the usual March or April date. The dates this year are, ten- tatively, January 16, 17 and 18. The committees have already been chosen, with the exception of a few offices, and these will be filled during the fall semester. The script committee has been preparing the play, and the re- hearsal and tryouts for the produc- tion will take place as soon in the semester as possible. Senior Antics On the night of the Senior Per- forinance the seniors attend in house blocks, dressed in their caps and gowns. A ceremony in which the en- gaged seniors contribute a lemon to the wishing well, a married senior, a candle, and unattached women a penny for eachunengaged year takes place before the actual play. Other senior antics include the singing of their Junior play songs, and a skit put on by the War Council. One of the most important events of Senior Night is in the announcing of the new president of the League Council. °The committees for the 1946 Junior Play are as follows: GeneralChair- man, Carolyn Daley; Assistants, Ruth McMorris; Jean Raine, director; Eal- eanor Stewart, secretary-treasurer, assisted by Barbara Dewey; Stage Crew is directed by Janet Young; Music, Elain Raiss, Marion Sharkey and Rose Dederain; Script, Barbara Brady, Lois Kelso, Jan Carter; Cho- reographer, Janice Bernstein; Tick- ets, Virginia Councell and Carol Sie- bert. The list continues with Costumes, Mary Cochran; Scenery by Virginia Scott; Make-up, Shirley Hansen; Publicity, Doris Krueger and Lynne Ford; Ushering, Katheran Cowan; Programs, Ann Kutz. New Neckline Jewelry Wins Prominence This season neckline jewelry is the most popular. The new choker style originated last spring, when a fashion model wanted a chunky but sporty necklace and found a Ubangi ringlet which ekactly suited the purpose. The buyers caught up the fashion, and since then choker necklaces have zoomed into promi- nence. Fashion magazines show chok- er lecklaces with the majority of their clothes this year. Choker necklaces come in all shapes and sizes, far surpassing the plainness of the black velvet ribbon which our grandmothers used for adornment. However, the smart women of today occassionally borrow a ribbon from this same grandmother and wear it decorated with their favo- rite jewel. Pearls Are Popular Modern choker manufacturers pre- fer pearls, although the strands may be single, double or triple. Some of the pearls are multi-colored with bands of black or white. Tiny pearl earrings to match these chokers may be purchased. If you really have a passion for pearls, you might be able to find one of the new pearl rings to complete your jewelry ensemble. Metal jewelry makers, not to be outdone by the pearl dealers, offer snake-chain necklaces which may be worn with high-necked sweaters and dresses. These metal necklaces, like their sisters of pearl, come in single or double strands, but the single gold mesh one has proved to be the most popular. . Variations of this gold chain may be found with a string of pearls inter- twined about it. One clever coed com- bined a string of ebony bead, a string of pearls, and a string of corals to produce a strikingly different effect. Single Large Jewels A fashion originated by Louise La- Valiere, lady of the court of Louis II of France, is the single large jewel or stone hung from a necklace. Fash- ion-minded women will recognize her name in our modern version of our necklace, lavaliere. 1945 stresses the lavaliere. Especially prominent are single topaz, emeralds, or aqua-ma- rines (real or make-believe) strung on a slender gold chain that may double as a choker. Coeds who have sweethearts in the South Pacific will often find them- selves the pleased recipients of in- tricately carved wooden beads, hand- worked by the natives. These beads usually reach to the waist line, but the truly bright coed will restring them on a firmer strand and make not only a necklace but a bracelet as well. Laundry Case Is Handy Item Everyone knows that a girl's' best friend is her mother, but unfortu- nately, we cannot take our mothers to college with us. Therefore, we can do the next best thing: we can take the closest link to home and mother -a laundry case. This handy little container which rides the rails between here and home about twice a month may be of almost any size or shape and should have a reversible address card and a good strong strap around it. Nothing so cheers the hard work- ing coed as a package from home. The laundry case is better than an ordinary package because, besides holding food, soap flakes, cigarettes and other necessary items, you may also occasionally get some clean clothes. Therefore, my advice to you is, if you live any reasonable distance from Ann Arbor, be sure to provide your self with-yes, you guessed it-a laundry case! ii Cosmetic Manufacturers Choose Splashy Colors for 1945 Make-Up The cosmetic manufacturers have begun the 1945 season with a splash of color in lipsticks, rouges and pow- ders. For those constantly searching for the 'right' color of lipsticks, one house has neatly solved the problem by plac- ing a color called 'Right Red" on the market. A brilliant, true red, the color is designed to go with the most popular fall colors. A new hair lacquer with colors to blend in with the hair is another fea- ture. This 'stickum' keeps the way- ward strands of haid securely fasten- ed for the new upsweep and Psyche hairdos. The advantage of the color- ing matter added, is that there is no unpleasant shine of unmatching lac- quer. Nail polishes have responded to the bright autumn colors, and one of the newest shades is called 'Fatal Apple' Advertised as 'the colour of Eve', it it a light clear red that is very ef- fective against siren black and darker colors. One of the manufacturers must have read 'Alice in Wonderland' re- cently for his house sponsors a nail polish called Dark Knight'. A deep maroon, the shade blends in very well with the light blue and rose, as well as the newest color shade, 'Winter Wine.' 4 The occasional 'hard' look that comes from a too careless use of a makeup is corrected by another firm that puts out a 'soft-focus' kit. This package contains lipstick, rough rouge and powder, the latter being in a new compressed form that prevents leak- age. Handy additions to any wardrobe and a college classic are pigskin gloves which may be worn for class or dress wear. STOCKWELL HALL-as seen from the air. The largest of the women's dormitories will house 414 coeds this year. Originally built to house 388 women, the dorm was named for Madelon Louise Stockwell, first coed to matriculate at the University. The hall was opened to residents in February, 1940. Orientation Period Provides Hectic Schedule With Health Exams, Registration, Counselors I . .1 By JOAN WILK It all started way back in the sum- mer when you were a prospective student of the University of Michi- gan, Various and sundry notices, bul- letins and important-looking slips be- gan to arrive informing you of your group number, your meeting place, and the hectic time-schedule you would follow. You probably drove your family to the state of actually looking forward to your departure, but they tried to understand - You were GOING TO COLLEGE! On the other hand, that flood of mail may not have disturbed your calm equilibrium. You already had been to college, and you were mere- ly going to transfer. But before you had -a chance to wonder for a long period of time, you found yourself on the way.. Most of it is still to come. You've already met your roommate, and if she got here first, she grabbed the best bed, dresser, desk and man. And now orientation is well underway and we've a suitable definition of the same, direct from Grandpa Webster's treatise on horse fleas, but here goes. Orientation, it seems, is the pro- cess by which, and by means most devious, the University learns more about you, your father's brother's aunt's counsin's nephew and your eating habits, than you'll ever know or even wonder about. Books will be written about you, files will be kept. Perhaps you'll even be given a number, but the antiquated stri- ped suits have been abolished by the Arb board of directors. And speaking of suits, there's a similar item you may have met al- ready. 'Tis the widely acclaimed, broadly proclaimed, and strictly un- tamed Angel Robe! (To Plebeians, it's a sheet with a hole for your head, and a double-duty air conditioning on each side - that's your costume for your health exam debut.) In the typical health exam, you start in the basement, fully clad and within an hour or so, come out via the top-floor much-poked, but still possessing your sense of humor, although you've lost everything else. A sense of humor is a handy as- set to have. It helps in all sorts of situations. It will cause you to chuckle when you look around dur- ing your aptitude exams, realize everyone about you is turning a page, and you're still on the third item on page one. Perhaps at this point, you've had a chance to look at your academic counselor from afar. You can stare at him while your fellow group mem- bers are having a friendly discussion with him. One of the counselors will probably take a firm stand for elec- ting Differential Calculus as a first semester freshman. A soulmate to your academic counselor is your long-suffering ad- visor who is a casoned veteran of the Battle of Ec 51, registration and sundry points of the campus compass. Your adviser is respon- sible for your making your ap- pointments cn time. Your adviser can answer any question, ranging from Ann Arbor weather to the weather in Ann Arbor. (Very ver- satile people, really. Try 'em and see for yourself.) Registration, done for the first time, is definitely a revealing exper- ience. It's told of a certain young freshman that she lost her group while registering and was found a week later, as the gym was being swept, still muttering, "But you can't give me a Saturday class; I need my sleep!" Your running practice during Ori- entation week would put you on any track team. But in a few months from now, you'll be a seasoned U of M student, wise to the ways of the University and those who comprise it. You'll know many of the strands to the various ropes. Perhaps, you'll impart your newly-found knowledge on to other incoming students. You'll look back and realize the orientation was hectic but fun. Clever Coed Pays Attention to New, Attractive Belts The clever coed of the 1945 season, pays >as much attention to her belts as she does to the selection of her skirts and sweaters. Most of the fashion magazines fea- ture these giant waist-clinchers in cowhide and suede. The former be- ing used for more casual wear, the suede for afternoon and date dresses. Studded with metal buckles, and cmblazoned with brass insignia, the comhide belts are a versatile change from the narrower models, and with a tucked-in sweater and tweed skirt, the 1945 look is definitely present. One suede belt is adorned with cop- per coins from Arabia, and shown with a purple wool afternoon dress. Another belt has a built-up front section made of leopard fur with suede ties in the back. Still others have low, red pouches swung from the wide capeskin midriff. Luscious, New / ,4 R: SWEATERS and Lovely, New SKIRTS The smartest wardrobes are assembled around them.
