Student Government Day

I'm Olive Soap, your beauty hope and bluster cream shampoo for soft glamorous dream girl hair bring you our Miss Brooks starring E. Barden! Last Friday was Student Government Day, a day upon which the entire administration of the city is handed over to high school pupils who have been elected by their classmates. Well ordinarily our Miss Brooks who teaches English at Madison High School

would have very little to do with this event. But unfortunately, Ms. Johnson, the civics teacher, took ill on Thursday, and our principal, Mr. Conklin, suggested that I take over her class. Of course, I didn't have to accept the assignment.

I just figured that teaching is better than being totally unemployed. In some states, it's better. At any rate, I conducted Ms. Johnson's civics class on Thursday, and on the subject, what would I do if I held public office?

The class and I had quite a spirited discussion. And in view of later developments, I'm sorry I didn't listen. But Friday morning, finally rolled around, and the entire student body and faculty gathered in the assembly hall to hear Mr. Conklin officially proclaim its Student Government Day.

Mr. Boynton, my bashful biologist, was sitting in the front row. And accidentally, with the aid of two bloodhounds, I found myself sitting right next to him. Oh, hello, Miss Brooks. Why, Mr. Boynton, this is a surprise.

Do you, anyway? I didn't see you, sit down. I believe I left my notebook on that seat. It's just some lecture notes on the North American porcupine. Oh, sorry, Mr. Boynton, I didn't even notice it.

You must have pulled in his quills. Here you are. Thanks. I'll just hold it in my lap. Why don't we let the notebook have the seat and you could hold, no, not in school like this?
