Laura McKinnie, Zella Scott Music was furnished by “The Merrimakers.” Synopsis The entire action takes place upon the upper deck of the S. S. Florida which is steaming its way from New York to Havana. Billy Hargrave, the finest quarterback that ever played on Transylvania has had four front teeth knocked out in the recent hard game and for the three wreeks till his new set is made, things were softer than he had had them since he was a child. Since Billy is so very sensitive about his newly acquired incisors, and doesn’t want the details of his accident known, his folks persuade him to take an ocean trip until he becomes accustomed to the new set. Alice Hargrave, his sister, accompanies him on the trip. Fortune so has it that Billy’s best girl, Beatrice Sloane, and her mother, are traveling on the same ship. To make matters still worse. Sam Eustace. Billy’s most bitter rival in love, is also on board going to Havana on business. That evening Billy proposes to Beatrice and feels it his duty to tell her about the teeth. Just as he says “there are four,” the steward bumps against him causing him to lose his teeth. With an agonized look he rushes off.

14 TIIE CHINOOK BREEZE May, 1929 name and I saw her on a large farm in Brazil growing horseradish. Jack Dowen was the next. He had decided that the Volstead Act would not be repealed, and had gone to Canada where he is the director of the Radio Broadcasting Orchestra in Winnipeg. I now saw Alice Grass working in the government printing office, making special delivery stamps. I inquired for Betty Hoover next. The noise •when she appeared was terrible. No wonder, she was running an old maids’ home, and it sounded •worse than a Ladies’ Aid meeting. Then came Henry Brinkman as Admiral Brink-man of the United States navy. I asked to be shown Ingvald’s fate next. I saw an airplane land and out stepped Ingvald, the holder of the world’s “hog-calling” championship. Now Ben McKinnie. I saw him sitting on a street corner in one of our large cities with a cup in his hand, begging for a little money. Ben had the brain, but he always did lack initiative. When I asked for Laura McKinnie, she and Paul appeared together. They were standing on their back porch inspecting the huge flock of humming birds which they were raising. Next appeared Donald Morrison. He was in Scotland leading a parade; and was very much the hero, for he had just invented shrinkless bacon for his Scotch brothers. I inquired for Orrin Wolary, and he appeared as Professor Wolary of Yale demonstrating to his class Why Brains are as Necessary as Feet to be Happy in This World.” I next asked for Bill Skillen. Shouts of “Hero! Hero! Hero!” came to my ears as Bill went dashing down the football field, his curly hair flying in the wind, as he made a touchdown for the United States team. When I inquired for Daisy, I heard a noise which proved to be her typewriter. She was working for the world’s typewriting championship with the aid of “Wrigley’s Speed” chewing gum “for Typists only.” I spoke Mary Frances’ name and sure enough there she was washing the supper dishes in Sweden. Next I saw Zella. I was horrified at her for what she was doing but throwing anything that happened to be handy at Holly because he was three minutes late for dinner. Clinton Salfer. I was informed, was the inventor of an absolutely static-less radio, and was becoming very wealthy from the income from his invention. Myrtle Martin passed before my eyes in her role as welfare worker in the slums of Chicago. I presently saw Thelma Overcast, who looked just the same as ever, pulling plugs in the huge telephone office at Norheim. I inquired for Imogene next, and when the attendant pushed the button, 1 saw her sitting quietly at home waiting for her sheriff to come to supper. When the attendant pushed Vera’s name on the machine it gave a start and there she stood, the fat, giggling lady of Barnum and Bailey’s Circus. As I asked for Ethel Proctor a very quiet lady passed across the scene, who was our lovely Ethel as the wife of the noted French minister, Monroe Tan berg. Bruce Seymour next appeared as a movie director in Hollywood. Last. I asked for Edward, our senior class president. I saw him as the greatest orator of the United States, traveling in Europe at the time. That is all” I informed the man, “how much do I owe you?” “Two bits,” he said, and I left satisfied.
