Events for Spring Weekend, May
10 and 11, are reaching their final
stages of preparation.
Skit Night Finalists
Six skits, to be presented by
twelve h o u s i n g units, ' have
reached the finals of the Skit
Night elimination.
Mosher Hall and Taylor House
were selected by the judges, Nan-
cy Blumberg and Bill Miller, co-
chairmen of Spring Weekend; and
Clarence Stephenson and Prof.
Roger Allen of the speech depart-
ment.
Parodie "My Fair Lady"
Their skit, "My Goil Poll' is a
take-off on the current Broadway
play, "My Fair Lady." It revolves
+4 around a University of Michigan
professor; a laboratory instructor
and an uncultured girl from
Brooklyn.
Placing in the final elimina-
tions, held this past week, were
Sigma Delta Tau-and Sigma Phi
Epsilon. "Seccho" is the skit they
will present to the audience on
Skit Night; Priday, May 10. It is
an original play about a ranch
family in the plains states during
the dust storms. The plot is con-
cerned with the basic changes in
their lives due to the drought.
Men and women present at Hill
Auditorium on the night of the
performances will see the skit
worked out by Delta Delta Delta
and Delta Tau Delta. A Japanese
play, "Honor of Danzo". will be
given in a Geisha setting.
Portray Lincoln's Death
An original adaptation of "The
Lonesome Train" won a place for
Pi beta Phi and Phi Sigma Delta
in the final competition. The
death of Abraham Lincoln is given
a modern concept. Featured in the
presentation will be choral and
dancing numbers.
Kappa Kappa Gamma and Zeta
Beta Tau are among the six fi-
nalists. Their skit, "Country of
the Blind" by H. G. Wells, deals
with an adventurer who becomes
separated from his exploration
party in the Andes Mountains. He
discovers an isolated village in
which the people are all blind.
The play revolves around his ac-
ceptance of these people and their
way of life.
Give Choral Reading
A choral reading, "Unto Us the
Living", will be given by Chi Ome-
ga and Theta Xi. This skit por-
trays the irony of the scourge
which man brought upon himself
by war, and the technological and
intellectual "advances" of our
modern world.
These were the winners among
the fifteen skits presented in the
last stage of elimination held in
the League and Union Ballrooms.
Now the housing units must

Snootrac announces the Spring
Weekend dance, COMIC COTIL-

program to be announced later.

wishing well will allow couples to
make a wish under the full moon,
which the calendar conveniently
provided.
Along the wire walls of the

hind the bandstand.
Gigantic figures of popular
comic characters are to decorate

NCAA Champs, Divers
Perhaps in Aqua Show,
'A Whale of a Tale'
National Collegiate Athletic As-
sociation title holders will perform
at "A Whale of a Tale", the 1957
Michifish show, to be held at 8
p.m. Friday and Saturday and at
3 p.m. Sunday in the Women's
Pool.
Dick Hanley, Cy Hopkins, Dick
Kimball and Fritz Meyers, NCAA
title holders, will display their
winning talent during the inter-
mission. A comedy diving act by
the Ugly Ducklings will also en-
tertain the audience at this time.
Performing in this act are Ed-
Ward Cole, Alvaro Gaxiola, Dick
Kimball, John Murphy, John Nar-
cy and Fred Wright.
Numbers performed by the
Michfsh will' relate different
"bop versions of the Grimm Fairy
Tales." The opening numbers of
"A Whale of a Tale" find the
people of New York, Michifins, an-
xiously , watching as Grimm's
characters step out of a book.
Goes to New York
Appearing on the scene next are
the three sisters who display their
talent which they believe will win
them a part in the show. Cinder-
ella realizes how "unpolished"
they are, but still doesn't want to
audition for the famous show.
Since Cinderella's feelings are
low, the dwarfs take her to Har-
lem where she sees "The Devil and
the Three Golden Hairs." Next
the dwarfs show her Radio-City
Hall where she is amazed by the
dancing of the Rockettes.
Visits Bronx Zoo
The tables turn and Hansel and
Gretel drown the witch, Cindy
Segy who remains on the bottom
of the pool for a full minute. Hap-
pily Hansel and Gretel go to watch
the bears perforn at the Bronx
Zoo.
Cinderella, realizing that a
number of hours have elapsed,
knows that she must hurry to
make the audition. Looking at
herself dressed in rags, she de-
cides she wouldn't have a chance
for a part.
On the scene appear the "good
people" and her fairy god-mother.
After the explosion of a ten pound
smoke bomb Cinderella stands in
a beautiful gown.
Rodgers and Hammerschold are;
so impressed with Cinderella's
audition that she is given a part.,
The finale of "A Whale of a Tale"
is Cinderella's debut on openingl
night. In this scene over 70 girlst
are swimming at one time in the
pool.

By ROSE PERLBERG
The League Conference room
was buzzing with the chatter and
laughter of more than 50 sorority
women, when a slim, dark-haired
coed hurried to her place at the
head of the table, banged her.
gavel for silence.
Almost instantly the room grew
quiet as Ex-Panhel President Car-
of ("De") deBruin called her last
meeting to order.
"De" left the meeting and four
years of close work with Panhel
in the wake of praise and respect
from friends, co-workers and the
many people on campus with
whom she had contact.
"Dynamic Leader"
"Poised, extremely capable, a
dynamic leader and just plain
fun," so different people describe
the 22-year-old Grosse Pointe sen-
ior.
Coeds who worked with "De" this
year say that she "just naturally
commands authority and respect."
Ex-Public Relations Chairman
Meredith Hardy recalls, "De"
seems to know the right thing to
say and do at the right time." She
expresses herself very well and al-
ways controlled any of the meet-
ings, but she also knew when to
stop being chairman and add thet
personal touch."X
Enthusiasm for Workk
Another colleague comments ont
"De's' "tremendous enthusiasm"
for anything she does. "You justt
feel that she's having a good timet
working and it carries you along
too."
"De" describes her years in of-
fice as a 'valuable experience in
understanding and working witht
all kinds of people."t
Never too busy to talk to the out-1
sider, she inspired confidence in
her ability to carry through her
job, backed by genuine warmthc
and friendliness.-
'Not a Machine't
Says "De," "I tried so hard notE
to become a machine, too busy to
listen to anyone else's side. Sot
many people do, you know, whenI
they get caught up in a hecticI
pace."
"De's" role was hectic, but shet
was prepared for it. She was wellI
oriented to Panhel, having servedt
as Junior Panhel President, Chair-
man of Rushing Counselors, a
member of the Rushing Study
Committee and the new Research
Committee.
Dark brown eyes that usually
sparkle to match the broad de-
Bruin smile suddenly grow serious
as "De" reflects on her year in of-
fice.

Slow Change
This, she hastens to add, will
take time. Wheneyou start new
things, she declares, you can't ex-
pect them to work out immedi-
ately."
And if you followed the "overly-
optimistic" deBruin philosophy.
you'd be satisfied, as she has been
this year, to "throw your goals
way out and meet them half-way.
As "De" talks, even conversa-
tionally, you're aware of her pub-
lic speaking and dramatic reading
background. Majoring in the field,
she's graduating in June with a
teacher's certificate. Poised, yet re-
laxed, she seems to deliberately
think out every sentence.j

How does it feel to be a "has
been?" "De" laughs and says, "I
just can't believe it!"-a standard
expression Delta Delta Delta soror-
ity sisters reveal, that "De" used
"on the average of a dozen times
a day."
Bright Future *
She always finds enough to keep
her busy. There's always studying.
And when she gets bored with that,
there's always a new travel folder
on places to spend her honeymoon.
"De" is engaged to a pharmacy
school senior.
"De" marks off the days until
the wedding on a big calendar
above her desk. "Only 177 left,"
she announced.
