Formerly for Senior Coeds Only By PAT BROWNSON Prom the first production of the Junior Girls' Play, staged in 1904 by six junior women, JGP has ris- eri to become one of the biggest traditional events held each year on the Michigan campus. The play, first given in the Sar- ah Caswell Angell Hall of Barbour Gymnasium, was shown only once in a private performance for sen- * .or women. In 1905 "Every Senior" was performed "for the warning and moral awakening of the sen- ar girls." Another JGP, held in 1912, was opened to all women on campus. A PERFORMANCE of "The Comeback" was held in Toledo in 1915, while "Yankie Yogie" of 1916 was seen by Detroiters. Men in Ann Arbor were not al- lowed to attend the play until 1923 when it was staged at the Whitney Theater, downtown. JGP would often run for a week during the period from 1922 to 1928 when proceeds were donated to the Michigan League building fund. Since the con- struction of the League the play has been presented each year in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theater. Some of the outstanding per- formances were: "For the Love of Pete" in 1928; "A Feather in Her Cap," 1937; "A Mulberry Bush," 1938; and "No Questions Asked," 1942. EARLY PLAYS were not written chiefly by junior women, but by other students, alumni and pro- fessors. "Take It From There" in 1945 was the first play entirely written, directed, produced and acted by junior women. Since then, "There's Room for All," 1946; "The Best Years," 1947; "Make Mine Michigan," 1948; and last year's "Fate of the Union" have been presented to the campus as original under- takings by the junior women. Theme of the play is kept secret until the first performance is given privately for the senior wo- men. On this night seniors may wear their caps and gowns for the first time when they attend a din- ner and then march to the Men- delssohn theatre where they par- ade across the stage. In the parade married women carry candles, engaged women suck lemons, pinned women wear straight pins and unattached wo- men throw pennies, one for each year of their age, into the wishing well to signify their status.
