SENIOR PLAY Story of the play: “Seventeen ’ a hilarious comedy, was written by Booth Tarkington. Willie Baxter, Seventeen, is ever trying to imitate Sydney Carton, the hero of “The Tale of Two Cities,” and hopelessly endeavoring to describe this hero to Johnnie Watson. His famous byword. “Ye Gods,” gives his Sydney Carton complex. Jane Baxter, Willie’s young sister, bothers him constantly. Lola Pratt comes to visit May Parcher. Genesis, the colored servant, and Willie go to town to get some second-hand wash boilers and as they return, Willie catches his first glimpse of Miss Pratt. lie falls in love and calls her his “Baby Talk Lady.” Lola’s endless talk and Flopit, her dog, annoy Mr. Parcher considerably. The Parchers give a farewell party for her. In order to look noble-like and make an impression on Lola, thereby getting ahead of Joe Bullitt, who is also somewhat in love with her, Willie wears his father’s dress suit without Mr. Baxter’s knowing it. His scheme proves useless as George Crooper, Johnnie’s cousin, comes to take Lola to the station, leaving Willie broken-hearted. As the play ends. Willie gives up his unusual ideas and promises his mother, Mrs. Baxter, that he will go to college. CAST OF CHARACTERS IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE Mr. Baxter........................
