48 5 i E 20 0 Semvi ’Pfacf The Valiant One , a three— act comedy, was presented by the senior class on May 13. The plot revolved around Phyllis Nolan, a young girl of twenty, who had ideals. The story dealt with the problems and con- ditions that confront the modern young woman in every day life. If she has high ideals and a conscience, she is bound to have a serious con- flict with various conditions one is almost certain to meet in everyday life. Phyllis Nolan was called upon to make a decision whereby her own happiness could be secured only through the sacrifice of certain interests of her father. How she met the difficulty and also fought for the honor of her ideals of right living was told in the charming comedy The Valiant One. Additional humor was added by Edith Empire, Phyllis ' s traveling companion; Mrs. Raymond who had a daughter Hay, who thought everything was just to cah-ute, and a son T. D., who was very fond of himself; Fannie Nolan, who is fearful of her husband. Judge Nolan, and John McFarlan, the local boy who finally made good.
