vw THE MICHIGAN DAILY FlOWER SAVIOR: Women To Greet New Holder For Cosmetics, Bobby Pins By SHEILA COHEN "Bathkets" is the new lisp-in- spiring novelty cosmetic item which an enterprising former co- ed at Indiana University has com- mercialized into a growing busi- ness. "Bathkets" are the invention of Barbara Holder, who originally obtained her idea from a grand- mother - to - mother - to - daugh- ter tradition in her own family. JUST BEFORE Miss Holder left home to enter college, her mother made her a little plastic cloth-lin- ed wicker basket, with pockets and flaps to hold all her toilet articles. It was much the same as Mrs. Holder's own mother had made her when she went to nurs- ing schpol., It didn't take the other 'girls in the dorm long to notice that while they ran to and from the showers dropping bobby pins and spilling their powder, Miss Holder carried all her toilet necessities ,neatly arrayed in the pretty ruffled wicker basket. So many of the girls asked her sestop floe Of all the "boards" on campus, from the Board of Regents to Mortarboard, the Senior Board is the one most closely associated with interests peculiar to the sen- ior class. The Senior Board, made up of senior class officers and committee chairmen, numbers among its re- sponsibilities such things as cap and gown arrangements, gradua- tion announcements, collection of class dues, Senior Ball, class reun- ions and the senior gift to the Uni- versity. With such a varied number of responsibilities resting }on its shoulders, the Board meets from time to time throughout the school t year. The four class officers on the Board ,re elected by members of the senior class. This year's of fi- cers are: Charles Murray, presi- dent; Jack Arbuckle, vice-presi- ' dent; Patricia McLean, secretary and Dave Belin, treasurer. Chairman of the five committees are selected by the officers on the basis of petitions and interviews. Chairmen for the class of '51 are: Carol Schumacher, announce- ments; Joan Willens, caps and gowns; Wally Shapero and Maxine Ryckman, publicity; John Donald- son and Mary Martin, reunions; Jean Heidgen, finance and George Milroy and Valerie Lemper, special events. These chairmen and co-chair- men are assisted by a number of committee members'. where they could buy one, that she once kidded her mother: ' 'You should go into business." IT WAS A few years later how- ever, before Miss Holder and a sorority sister, Mrs. Robert Lee; decided to commercialize the bath basket. With a 75-cent initial invest- ment, they bought wicker bas- kets and part of a plastic shower curtain to start experi- menting. Then they branched out and added a shower cp that matched the liner. They tried them out on their sorority sisters and found them- selves swamped with orders for many more than they could man- ufacture on their rented sewing machine. The idea caught on among the other coeds, and the two girls soon had over 300 or- ders for their "bathkets." BETWEEN CLASSES and stu- dies Miss Holder visited depart- ment stores in cities near the col- lege. When they showed interest in the bath kits, she signed a con- tract with a firm to make the plas- tic cases and shower caps. The "bathkets" are now be- ing sold in major department stores in over 70 cities in the U.S. and in half as many col- leges and universities. A local Ann Arbor store is now featur- ing "Bathkets." "Bathkets" are designed es- pecially for girls who share a bathroom, or who live in rather crowded quarters, and for people who just like to be neat! So that makes them perfect for the col- lege coed. Another use for the "bathket" is as a waterproof pouch for a suitcase. The ribbons untiefrom around the handles of the basket making this possible. Every woman ,can make her own organization as to what she wants to put in each of the pouches of the "bathket" accord- ing to her own needs and tastes. New Fashions To Help Solve FigureFaults As coeds' thoughts turn to sew- ing summer dresses they are faced with the problem of choosing a pattern which emphasizes their good points and conceals their not-so-good features. To help solve this problem the editors of a national magazine have assembled a number of styles to suit different kinds of faces and features. If one wants to belittle her hips the editors suggest a one-piece dress with a flared peplum and a7 skirt that is straight in the front, flaring at center back. To emphasize a tiny waist two flanges that run from shoulder to belt and a full skirt that is gathered all around are recom- mended. The slim figure calls for a fake bolero in a solid color contrasting with the color of the dress beneath, and then to slim a full figure, it is best to wear a coat dress with a narrow horseshoe collar.1 Those with good figures may wear slim, dramatic dresses of worsted doeskin with velveteen re-I vers and pocket flaps in a newk stole effect.

Dark Mystery To Cloak JGP; Plot of Play To Be Kept Secret 'It's The Payoff' To Be This Year's Project; Senior Women To View First Performance Ever since junior women first decided in 1904 to present an an- nual production, they have sub- jected themselves to the witti- cisms of the campus. Although the plot of the play Is supposedly a secret, the campus FBI always manages to have an idea of the play before it is pre- sented. THIS YEAR, however, coeds working on JGP hope to keep stu- dents mystified to the last min- ute. The title, "It's the Payoff", the Central Committee hopes, reveals nothing of the plot, and the cast of characters is distinc- tive, for it includes a ghost, a drunken janitor, and, amazingly enough, a disgruntled house- mother. The male element at the Uni- versity has not always been invited to enjoy the product of the coeds. * * * ONLY SINCE 1923 have they been asked to join the audience after the traditional first perform- ance for senior women. At that time a Detroit news- paper announced that the Jun- ior Girls' Play was ready to compete with Union Opera. The Daily immediately renounced this statement as hearsay, say- ing that the production was for the entertainment of senior wo- men only. During World War 2, however, JGP gained in prestige, and upon the return of Union Opera in 1949, the coeds'had secured their place in the lineup of campus events. * * * AT THE PRESENT time the play is handled exclusively by junior women, except for the ex- pert supervisionwof Miss Ethel A. McCormick, Social Director of the League. Written by one member of the junior class, directed by an- other, the play is the product of almost a year's hard labor and toil. At one time, the direction of the play was given to a member of the faculty. * * , , EITHER THE WOMEN have be-j come more efficient since that time, or the professor suffered a nervous collapse after too many years'of working with too many women. At any rate, from sets to stunts, JGP is just that: Jun- ior Girls' Play. Tickets will be on sale within two weeks.
