SENIOR CLASS PLAY SCORES
WELL MERITED SUCCESS

AS the curtain fell on the last act
of the charming comedy" Seventeen
the applause of the audience proved
it a success and one of the best plays
ever staged in the school history of
the city. The members of the cast
received much commentator upon
their performance.
Seventeen" is the tragedy of Will
liam Sylvanus Baxter when he ceased
to be sixteen, but not eighteen.
Henry Kaninen truly showed that
seventeen is disease, not an age.
Sara Mitchell effectively carried the
part Jan, "Silly" Bills sister. Her
curiosity and tale-telling kept the
audience in nipples of delighted hui
NOR. Lola Pratt, played by Mary
Yadlosky, through her charming ways
and baby-talk, caused the hearts of
the young men to move several beats
faster, except that of Johnnie Wat
son, Theodore Pennala) who was
still true to his old chum, May Parch-
er, acted sby Rachel Porthan. Joe
Rullitt, Harold Cloutier) George
Crooper, Thomas Nankervis) and
William Baxter, all of these wished
IT, gain the heart and hand of Lola.
George won prestige, for he was
from the city and moreover, was the
proud possessor of limosine. HUI
man sympathy of the mother, Mrs.
Baxter, and misunderstanding of the
father, were well presented by Ada
Johnson and Taito Ahola. MIR. Par
cher, the victim of the baby-talk,
whose hospitality Lola enjoyed, was
fully interpreted by Sulo Roterus.
Others who added to the popularity
of the play We're Elna Kuukkanen as
Ethel Boke; William Pickavance as
Wallie Banks and Margaret Schultz
as Mary Brooks.

which marked the unveiling of Gen.

pretentious. Before the actual dedi-

The unveiling promises TO call to
