Senior play. Pride and Prejudice,
adapted by Helen .Terome, will be
presented May ' 13. Sophomores
can be seen any day standing in
the lunch line with those little tan

The play concentrates on Mrs-
Bennett’s determination to get her
daughters married. Jane, Eliza
beth, and Lydia are likely-look
ing girls in an unlikely looking
period when a woman’s one possi
ble career is matrimony. To be a
wife wa.s success. Anything else
was failure.
Jane and her Mr. Bingley, and
Lydia and her Mr. Wickham are
quite content with things as they
are; but not Elizabeth! She act
ually refuses , to marry Mr. Col
lins, whom she openly deplores,
or Mr. Darcy, whom she secretly
adores.
The play is the story of the duel
between Elizabeth and her pride
and Darcy and his prejudice. Each
gives in before the evening is
over, and pride and prejudice meet
halfway.
