.......', K' ....-v ' ' ' Q Lass I Ala? RUWMEWQ I I was seated in my hotel room preparing a series of lectures which I was scheduled to give the following week, upon my recent explorations and travels. Having grown rather tired, I picked up a newspaper edited by my old friend Bill Taylor. As I planned to attend the theatre that evening I turned to the Stage and Film Section and to my amazement read a review by John Wolfe of the latest and most outstanding stage appearance of Chuck Evans in the role of a clown. The following afternoon I was driving to New Jersey to give my first address. Unusual excitement at Bellevue Hospital attracted my attention. Imagine my surprise at learning Alice Miller, Kathleen O'Brien, Mary Palmer, Helen Banas and Elizabeth Herman were being graduated. That evening I arrived at Forest Hills, New Jersey, in time to see Earl Armstrong and Eddie Styduhar taking part in a benefit exhibition game. Eddie was playing baseball and Earl, tennis, The next afternoon I spoke at Erie, Pa., and in the evening I attended a vocal and piano recital presented by Anna Mary Shaffer and Dorothy Deiger. As it was early when the programme was finished I took in a movie. The hero's actions and face were familiarg suddenly I recognized Paul Barlett. When I entered my hotel room the radio announcer was introducing Ella Mae Thompson. I heard and saw her give a dramatic monologue inaugurating the birth of television which had been perfected by the radio genius, Erwin Lange. Upon leaving Erie for my next engagement I planned a picnic lunch and pur- chased my provisions at Mark Coulter's store. I apparently picked the wrong spot to lunch for I no sooner stopped than I saw a farmer approach, intent upon chasing me. As he drew near I recognized John Gault and he me. He grew so interested in telling me about the progress of Willis Swartz and Paul McLean as farmers he completely forgot about evicting me. ' Being in the vicinity of dear old Hickory I could not resist the temptation to stop and see a basketball game. Hickory and West Middlesex were battling for the championship. Becky King was coach of Middlesex and Sally Hunter of Hickory. In the bleachers I saw Kay Hassel, Elizabeth Buckalew and Florence Hilkirk, who were teachers. My last stop was Akron, Ohio. I arrived Saturday night, quite weary from my strenuous week. Walking down the street I noted a sign The Personality Parlour and decided to enter. The suave secretary, Martha Hunter, informed me that they enhanced your beauty and clothed you to suit your personality. Beulah Davis had charge of the beauty parlour and Helen Keller of the clothes. Reading the newspaper that evening I noted that Nick Lisac, Samuel Davis and Nick Zurko had made a discovery that would revolutionize electricity. Sunday morning special ordination services were being held for Kenneth Duffee as a Methodist minister and Doris Gibson, the famed violinist, was the special musician for the day. That afternoon my trip was finished and I decided upon a walk in the sunshine. As I sauntered I reminisced. I had seen every member of my graduating class. Each one had prospered and was contented in his chosen field. -GRAYCIE CAMPBELL. 27

'Qll l BILLY, Billy was presented by the Senior Class Friday, the thirteenth of May. The action takes place on the S. S. Florida bound for Havana. Billy Hargrave CPaul Barlettl, who is in love with Beatrice Sloane fBeulah Davisj, lost his four front teeth in a football game and in order to conceal the fact from his friends his mother and father fSarah Hun- terj and Earl Armstrongj, are sending him on a trip so that he may get used to his new teeth. His sister Alice fFlorence Hilkirkj, is ac- companing him against her wishes. Sam Eustace fCharles Evansb, persuaded Mrs. Sloane fAnna Mary Shafferj, and her daughter, Beatrice, to take the trip for Mrs. Sloane's health. Sam, who is also in love with Beatrice, accompanies them. The complications begin when Sam carries a fake tale of Billy's past life to Mrs. Sloane. Mrs. Sloane believes him and forbids Beatrice to see Billy. Beatrice, however, meets Billy secretly and when he is about to confess to her that he has four false teeth, she admires his beautiful smile and white teeth. Just then the steward CNichalos Lisacj, rushing from the saloon bumps Billy. The jolt knocks him over and his teeth fall out. Not daring to look for them in the presence of Beatrice, he exits, speechless. The Doctor fSamuel Davisl, and the Stewardness CRebecca Kingj, try to console him but fail. Billy tries to persuade the captain to turn back for an hour but he refuses, in the meantime Billy steals Mrs. Sloanels uppers . Later his teeth are found by the Boatswain fJohn Gaultj, and the Sailors fWil- liam Taylor and John Wolfeb. But Billy is afraid to claim them. He is spared the humiliation when the teeth are sold at auction for the benefit of a Seaman's Home. Billy secures the teeth for one thousand dollars, returns Mrs. Sloane's, and gets the girl!
