'Miss Jimmy' was presented by the Senior class on May 6, 1949. The action of the play began when Jimmy is forced by his fraternity brothers to enter the girls' dormitory in search of a girl's dress to wear in an initiation stunt. At the same time the girls are finding it difficult to get dates for their big dance of the year with anyone but brothers, cousins, and uncles, and when they capture Jimmy they decide to make his fraternity brothers escort them to the prom by holding Jimmy for ransom. From then on things happen. lhe girls have a time keeping Jimmy hidden from Professor Frazier and the dean. When they all fall for Jimmy and try to win him, Jimmy tries to escape by posing as 'Miss Jimmy' in Louise's dress. When everything looks clear, the chief of police, who has a long record for catching kidnappers, appears. Louise, the chief character, is a sophomore. She is a pleasant girl about nineteen who is not so sure that studying is the best thing a girl can do in spring. Florence, her roommate, is not so romantically inclined, and tries to appear hard-boiled by making wise cracks. Catherine is a brunette of the type that men are said to prefer, and she definitely prefers men. Doris, who rooms with her is the freshman drudge. Harriet, the campus snob with an inferiority complex, is a dark haired siren. In contrast with college girls is the part of Miss Watkins, an old woman who heads the school. The parts for the men include Jimmy, Droopy and Professor Frazier. Jimmy is the typical college boy, a little serious and still gay, but subject to romance in the spring. Droopy, the colored janitor, is exactly that. Professor Frazier went to Oxford and came back with a taste for tea and English accent. -J ??
