SlEVlENll'lElEN Seventeen, presented by the junior Class, on December 19, 1924, de- lighted all who witnessed it. A more difficult play from the standpoint of characters would be hard to iind. Cornelia Barden played the role of Lola Pratt, exceptionally well. Oliver Raggio in his portrayal of VVillie Baxter, the love-sick college student, was certainly at his best. Sylvanus, the father of XVille, was well acted by Lovell Poole. Laura Black played the part of the little sister. Her part was a hard one, but was played with ease and dramatic ability. The whole cast is to be credited for the success of the play.
