Junior Women
To Present Play
Senior Coeds
First To See
'Tickled Pink'
Junior women are busily trying
to sandwich a little study and a
few bluebooks between frequent
rehearsals for the 1954 Junior
Girls' Play which will be present-
ed to senior women Thursday,
March 19 and then shown to the
entire campus.
The play is a musical comedy
which is written and produced en-
tirely by junior women. The coeds
write the script, compose most of
the music, make the scenery and
plan the choreography.
This year's play, "Tickled
Pink," was written by Jill Cole-
man. The music was written by
Ginny Reubene, Linda Reck and
4' Nancy Bartholomew with the as-
sistance of Paul McDonough and
Red Johnson.
The first junior skit was pre-
sented in 1904 when junior women
presented the story of Buster
Brown at the University. The skit
resulted from a suggestion by Mrs.
Myra Jorden, dean of women at
the .time, that the juniors do some-
thing to entertain the "staid sen-
iors."
Following her suggestion, coeds
got together and produced "Every-
senior," a take-off on the old mor-
ality play, "Everyman."
"Don Quixote, the C o e d
Knight," the 1907 production,
sparked male interest in the pro-
duction and brought forth an
editorial in the Daily which
complained that "the masculine
element of the campus resent-
ed being barred from the gay
little functions held under Mrs.
Jorden's eye"
"The Come Back" in 1915 was
the first JGP production to be per-
formed outside of Ann Arbor when
the cast traveled to Toledo to pre-
sent the show.
This play whisked its viewers
to the year 2002 when the Univer-
sity had become an institution for
women only since all the men had
left years ago to fight in te world
war. Following a fierce battle with
the dean of women, the men re-
turned triumphantly to the Uni-
versity.
The 1915 JGP also saw the in-
troduction of the tradition of
having seniors wear their caps
and cowns which was continued
'until two years ago.
In the same year, Prof. John L.
Brumm of the journalism depart-
ment undertook the direction of
Scenery
There will be an important
meeting of the JGP scenery
committee at 7 p.m. today at
the League. All members are re-
quested to attend.
the play for the first time and con-
tinued as director until 1925.
Men's resentment at being ex-
cluded from seeing the play fin-
ally broke down the women's re-
sistance, and in 1923 men were al-
lowed to view the performance of
"Jane Climbs a Mountain."
For many years, the play cen-
tered around college life but in
1949 junior women broke with
tradition to present "Fate of
The Union."
In 190, women still preferred a
non-collegiate setting for their
play and produced "The Real Mc-
Coy," a story of a hillbilly girl
who won a contest and a free trip
to New York.
The next year, the 1951 JGP,
"It's the Payoff," told the story of
four young women who must pro-
duce a play in order to earn mon-
ey. There were an assortment of
odd characters in the play includ-
ing a fat lady in the circus who
aspired to the Metropolitan Opera,
a drinking janitor and various Es-
kimos, Hawaiians and Indians.
In 1952, junior women revert-
ed to the tradition of a college-
oriented play and produced
"Heavenly Days," the story of
two girls and their trials and
tribulations at the University
from 1870 to 1952.
Last year's show, "Vanity Flair,"
was the story of two sisters, Joan
and Chris, who left their midwest-
ern town for a vacation. One went
east to join a summer stock thea-
ter while the other traveled out
west to work on a dude ranch.
Working behind the scenes on
this year's JGP are various com-
mittees' some of which need more
members. Junior women interested
in working on the make-up, scen-
ery, ushers and costumes commit-
tees may sign up in the League Un-
dergraduate Office.

Decorations To Give
Twelfth-Century Air;
Harberd Band To Play
With the band dressed as a jury
and the leader decked out as a
judge, the Student Bar Associa-
tion will hold its annual "Chan-
cellors' Court" from 9:30 p.m. to
1 a.m. Saturday in the V.F.W.
Ballroom on Liberty Street.
Thus the "legal" atmosphere for
the evening will be set by Johnny
Harberd and his orchestra. Form-
erly featured at a roadhouse in
the vicinity of Ann Arbor, the ten
piece group now is filling engage-
ments in the Detroit area.
Decorations will be built
around a theme reminiscent of
the twelfth-century chancellor's
court. These courts were presid-
ed over by the King's Chaplain,
or as he was commonly called,
the "Keeper of the King's Con-
science."
Featured in the decorations will
be crepe paper streamers and soft
lights.
Programs will also carry out the
"legal" aspect of the dance. They
are being planned to represent a
legal petition for guardianship.
During intermission guests will
be informed of the committee's
selection of the "senior most likely
to be dis-barred." Chosen after
"extensive investigations carried
on with ruthless persistence," the
"lucky" lawyer will be presented
with a loving cup.
This suitably engraved "award"
will later be enshrined in Hutch-
in's Hall.
A new feature at this year's
dance, the committee hopes that
this "honoring" of the student
most likely to be "tossed out of the
Bar Association" will become a
traditional feature at the "Chan-
cellor's Court."
Tickets for the semi-formal
dance, which is open to members
of the Law School and to anyone
else who would like to attend, are
available this week at Hutchins
Hall. Priced at $2 for members and
$2.50 for others, they will also be
sold at the door.
All the legal fraternities on
campus are planning to hold
open houses before the dance.
Included in these parties will be
Delta Theta Phi, Phi Delta
Theta, Pi Alpha Delta and Tau
Epsilon Rho.
The Student Bar Association,
sponsor of the dance, is the repre-
sentative governing body in the
Law School. The "Chancellor's
Court" itself is one of three dances
included in the Law School cur-
riculum each year.

local contest to all members of the
National Association of College
Unions.
