Seniors Present Booth Tarkington’s Great Play, “Seventeen” Tonight As Annual Play ----- 4—--------------------- Members of the senior class will present the annual class play, “Seventeen,” in the school auditorium tonight at 8 o’clock under the direction of Miss Lillie Walters, senior English teacher. The play is a comedy in four acts, written by Booth Tarkington. Silly Bill falls in love with Lola, the Baby-Talk Lady, a rapid if amiable little flirt. To woo her in a manner worthy of himself (and incidentally of her) he steals his father’s evening clothes. When his wooings become a nuisance to the neighborhood, his mother steals the clothes back, and had them altered to fit the middle-aged form of her husbnad, thereby keeping William at home in the evening. But when it came to the Baby-Talk Lady’s good-bye dance, not to be present was unendurable. How William Sylvanus again got the dress suit, and how he wears it at the party are some of the elements in this charming comedy of youth. Lee Toothman and Melba Funk play the leading roles as William Sylvanus Baxter and Lola Pratt. Other members of the cast and the characters they will portry, are: Lucille McBee as Mrs. Baxter; Donald Lynch as Mr. Baxter; Jack Hurley as Johnnie Watson Margaret Wittman as Jane Baxter. Charlotte Leuliette as May Parcher. Walter Thompson as Genesis. Eugene James as Joe Bullitt, Willis Andre as Mr. Parcher, John Tiano as George Crooper, Leatrice Glaspell as Ethel Boke, James Lichillo as Wallie Banks, and Wilma Crim as Mary Brooks. The stage crew, under the directon of Mrs. Wanda Martin, includes Mr. Lane Daugherty, Norman Beebe, Jules Langlett, Roger Martino, Julius San Julian, Harold Leachman, John Tarentino, Warder Powell, and Lester Gain.
