'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!
