LIFE BEGINS AT SIXTEEN This play, a comedy of youth in three acts, was pre- B9Ht9d by the.0rleans High School students..?As indicated by the title, this comedy radiates about a group of sixteen-year-olds mirroring in a candid way their lives, habits, emotions, and manner of speech. It was said to be one of the finest and most successful plays ever pre- sented by the school. Even the younger children loved this comedy, because in lt, they would recognize themselves or members of their 'gang.W Their elders loved it, too, for in a brief two hours they were carried back to those glorious, glamorous, never-to-be-forgotten days when they were sixteen! The central characters were Paul and Frannie Hollis, sixteen-year-old twins. As the play opened, tvs. Hollis had just won a radio contest for naming a beauty soap and their absence, Paul felt it was time to exercise his tem- porary right as Whead of the famlly.n First he decided that the Hollis Shoe Store should undergo a modernization campaigng he would put on a sale, with an orchestra and models. Then he turned his talents to the private life of his sister, Marjorie Hollis. He had a hunch that her suitor, Crandal Smythe, was a ran .:er, and set out to prove it. To aid him in these 'ddr riousn schemes, he enlisted the nsecret Seven,N'an or ,,',, .nizatlon of which he was president, and hilarious complications followed. The third act was a nBallW which the Wsecret Seven' sponsored to celebrate the success of their plans. But alas--Ir. and hrs. Hollis returned. Fate was playing aces--and while playing them, the tables were turned in a fully satisfying manner. The Freshmen chad charge of the music between actsg 'Guan Burdick and Gerald Mason had charge of the stage sceneryg and Warren Austin and Beulah Coffey, the pro- perties. Kiss Goodrich assisted hiss Kerb in directing. Norma Tinker, the business manager, reported that the sum of twenty-five dollars was cleared.
