ly Days," a three-act creation of
junior women.
Entirely written, produced, di-
rected and composed of junior wo-
nen, this year's JGP will feature
over 20 song and dance numbers.
This number is much greater than
usual.
"HEAVENLY DAYS" is a lively
comedy play interspersed with
numerous singing and dancing
acts which range from tap to bal-
let numbers.
Given originality exclusively
for senior women, JGP still gives
a special performance for senior
women.
Tomorrow night, seniors will at-
tend their annual dinner after
which they will march across the
stage of the ballroom, married wo-
men carrying candles, engaged
ones sucking lemons, pinned ones
wearing common pins and those
unattached pitching a penny for
each year of their age into a well.

AFTER THIS ceremony, the
seniors will have entertainment by
members of their own class.
Then in a body, the senior
women will go to Lydia Mendels-
sohn Theatre where they alone
will view the opening night of
"Heavenly Days" as a climax to
their senior activities. On Senior
Night, seniors may request any,
lines or acts from JGP to be re-
peated and they frequently
heckle the cast.
Although the plot of JGP is tra-
ditionally surrounded by an air of
mystery, it has been revealed that
"Heavenly Days" is centered about
college life and that there will be
many interesting dance numbers
including a Can-Can number.
JGP centralcommittee members

Nancy Born, director and Berta
Houston, music chairman were
guests last weekend on the WU-

FLOORSHOW chairman Shyrlee
Bloom, says "'Moonshine Madness'
promises to be a terrific show.
Singing, dancing and laughs will
be plentiful."
Miss Bloom stressed that all
interested Maize team members
should try out for the floorshow
from 7 to 9 p.m. tonight in the
League. The room number will
be posted.
Frosh Weekend was originated
four years ago by combined As-
sembly and Panhellenic to give the
freshmen women a class project
and to initiate them into League
activities.
THE CLASS OF '52 was the first
to hold a Frosh Weekend and they
originated the idea of having two
individual dances and floor shows
and for this purpose the women
were divided into two teams and
competition ran high during the
weeks of preparation and the final
show.
The teams are judged on the
basis of their ticket sales, scho-
larship, program design, decora-
tions and finally the floorshow.
Each team strives to outdo the
other in originality and clever-
ness of ideas, costume and set
designs and decorations.
The League Ballroom is divided
into two parts, the teams choosing
for their half, and then members
go ahead and decorate their part
in keeping wtih their theme.
LAST YEAR the Maize team
copped first honors for the first
time in Frosh Weekend's history.
Their mwinning theme was "Make
Mine Moccasins" with members
becoming Indians of the Micha-
gauma tribe.
The Blue team's theme of
"The Big Scoop" followed a
newspaper idea.
The year before, 1950, the Blue
team was victorious with "Watch
the Birdie" while the Maize team
gave them strong competition with
