THE SCHOOL PLAY As an interpreter of American mentality of the year 1929 Booth Tarkington is unrivalled and as an interpreter of the mind of the youth of today he is without a competitor. Tn “Seventeen” his portrayal of the ideals and behav¬ iour of a group of boys and girls is extremely amusing, a bit touch¬ ing and continuously fascinating. The drama unfolds the heroic struggles of “Seventeen —Wm. S.vlvanus Baxter, heretofore “Silly Bill” and his associates—to pro¬ vide himself with a dress suit. His passionate need for this elegant raiment has arisen from his falling in love with the Baby Talk Lady, an accomplished, if youthful, co¬ quette. The drama unfolds with a laugh at every turn, a few sighs and a final impression that though youth is ridiculous and frequently annoying, its uncompromising idealism is admirable and precious. In presenting “Seventeen” the Concert Committee is making an effort to pul the entertainment of 1929 on a par with the artistic ex¬ cellence of the production of “Pina¬ fore” in 1928. Under the) able dir¬ ection of Mrs. Mabel McGiffin two months is being given to rehear¬ sal. Orchestra, costuming, light¬ ing, scenery and management are in charge of Mr. Bennett, Miss I). N. Beattie, Mr. Johnston. Mr. O’¬ Neil and Miss M. O’Donoghue re¬ spectively. The casting has been very care¬ fully done and each role is certain of a sympathetic presentation. The players are: William Sylvanu Mr. Baxter Jane Mrs. Baxter May Parcher Lola Pratt Johnnie Watson Baxter Bruce Cameron Wilfred Cada Lillian Mathews Doris Reycraft Jenny Robinson Christine Carron Gerald Halliday

A. HOGAN, C2E — n - - THE CANADIAN “CYCLONE” Oti February 20. 192!), Tech’s spacious halls were graced with the lithe steps of Percy Williams. But what has that to do with a Canadian Cyclone. Yes, we Cana¬ dians are ignorant of the fact that Canada claims the world’s fastest; human, and that he js commonly known as “The Canadian Cyclone.” This frail youth who completed his high school education at King Edward School in Vancouver, is at nineteen years of age, gaining world’s fame as a sprinter. Just out of high school this mar¬ vellous young man achieved great success for himself as well as for Canada, at the Olympic games held at Amsterdam last year. At these games vast crowds saw t he Canadian flag at the top of the mast twice in succession in token of the fact that for the first time in history a Canadian (Percy him¬ self) had won the two major events at the Olympia, namely the 100 and 200 metres. Since then he has been making and breaking records, not Victrola ones. He has toured the United States and has not been defeated up to the present date. Lately he broke the world’s record for 20 yards by one-tifth of a second. i i ivi .f.i A traffic cop was on a busy corner dir¬ ecting traffic. Every time he gave the go” signal lie called “pedestrians this way. There was an Irishman standing across the street. The cop looked at this Irishman (who had been waiting there for a long time) and called “all pedestrians this way.” The Irishman answered back, ”Pve been waiting here for over an hour, and all I heard was ‘all Presbyterians this way When the heck are you going to call the ' atholies.” « » • Famous Sayings of Famous People C.
