JGP, Senior Night Tradition
Interwoven For Half Century

Coed Betrothed

Tennis Club To Make Plans
For Coming Spring Season

By PAT BROWNSON
Junior Girl's Play and Senior
f Night traditions are interwoven
into a fascinating tale which dates
back through almost a half cen-
tury of campus history.
Junior classes come and go, but
with their departure they leave
memories of a play which required
months of planning, hard work
and lengthy rehearsing.
* * *
THE FIRST JGP was the out-
growth of a skit dealing with Bus-
ter Brown at Michigan given at
the traditional Senior Swing-out
in 1904. (The Swing-out was later
discontinued.)
Mrs. Myra Jordan, dean of
women, suggested at the time
that the junior women write
and present a play in honor of
the graduating class.
"Everysenior," the 1904 JGP
and first one ever to be presented,
was the result. The play was a tra-
vesty on the old morality play,
"Everyman."
* * *
THE 1907 JGP, "Don Quixote,
the Co-ed Knight" marked the be-
ginning of interest in the play on
the part of men. An editorial in
The Daily stated that the "mascu-
line element of the campus re-
sented being barred from 'the gay
little functions held under Mrs.
Jordan's eye' ".
First play to be performed
more than 'once took place in
1909. "Martiagan" was present-
ed for senior women only on the
first night, while the secon.i
show was open to all women on
i campus.
"The Come Back" in 1915 re-
presented Ann Arbor in 2002, an
institution of learning for wo-
men only, since all the men had
left years ago to fight in the World
War. The play dealt with the re=
turn of men to Michigan after a
fierce battle with the dean of wo-
men. It was the first play to be
performed outside of Ann Arbor,
when the cast went to Toledo.
* * *
ANOTHER UNUSUAL feature of
the 1915 JGP was that senior wo-
men attended the play in a body
in their caps and gowns for the
first time. Prof. John L. Brumm of
the journalism department also
undertook direction of JGP for
the first time. He continued as di-
rector until 1925.
With the advent of "Jane
Climbs a Mountain" in 1923, the
Panhel Petitions
Petitioning for positions on
the Panhel newspaper will be
open Tuesday and Wednesday
of next week. Positions include
editorial and business editors,
cartoonist, and three staff
members.

doors of the play were opened
to men.
A Detroit newspaper, came out
in the 1920's with the declaration
that JGP was ready to compete
with the Union Opera. This re-
port was speedily denied by The
Daily, which asserted that the pri-
mary purpose of the play was to
honor senior women.
* * *
"SENIOR SUPPER" was the
name given to present "Senior
Night" activities.
Senior women were seated in
blocks. Senior class officers,
YWCA officers and its cabinet,
members of the social commit-
tee, and those affiliated with
Mortarboard and Senior So-
ciety sat together.
These groups also led the tradi-
tional parade of seniors in later
years from the Union to the Whit-
ney Theatre to see JGP. "Gold" in
1919 was the first play to be held
at the Whitney. Junior women
were appointed as marshals to ac-
company seniors in the march.
* * *
IN 1936 all senior women were
allowed to wear their caps as
well as gowns for the first time
on "Senior Night." Formerly
members of Mortarboard and Sen-
ior Society only could wear caps.
Not until 1937 was the tradi-
tional ceremony in which en-
gaged women suck lemons and
marriedwomen blow out candles
inaugerated.
This ceremony was formerly
performed at the annual. senior
breakfasts. Women wearing fra-
ternity pins must select common
pins for the occasion.
After the completion of the Lea-
gue, JGP and Senior Night took
place there. Before going into the
Lydia Mendelssohn Theater sen-
ior women would parade through
the League singing.
Staff Members.
To Be Honored
Staff members of women's resi-
dences who have had a perfect
attendance at meetings of this se-
mester's Residence Staff Insti-
tute will be awarded certificates at
the final meeting of the Institute
today.
About 50 staff members have
qualified to receive these certifi-
cates.
The topic of the final meeting
will be "The Role of the Staff
Member as a Consultant." Mem-
bers of the planning committee of
the Institute have worked in con-
junction with Dr. Bernard Hymo-
vitch and Miss Jeanne Watson, of
the Research Center for Group
Dynamics, in planning this topic.
The meeting will be followed
by a luncheon at thebLeague.

With the coming of spring and
warm weather, coeds' thoughts na-
turally turn to such outdoor sports
as tennis.
All campus women who are in-
terested in joining the Tennis
Club are asked to attend the spring
