Conklin's Carelessness Code

I'm Ali Souff, your beauty hope and bluster cream shampoo for soft glamorous caressible hair bring you our Miss Brooke starring E. Varden. Many school teachers work under different supervision during the summer months than they do in the regular school terms but not so our Miss Brooks who teaches English at Madison High Summer School. No, our beloved principal Osgoode Conklin is very much a

part of the deal. As he puts it, it doesn't matter what time of the year it is his medicine high is my baby. And to prove it, he holds it up by the heels and slaps it all summer.

It isn't that Mr. Conklin's always in a bad humor. Why, there are minutes at a time when he stops frothing at the mouth and the lightning that plays about his head subsides, leaving just a few glowing coals nestled in his mustache.

Last Thursday morning at breakfast, I was discussing his latest diabolical device with my landlady, Mrs. Davis. He calls it the Conklin Carelessness Code, Mrs. Davis. What in the world is that con? Well, it's a list of petty offenses for which the faculty and students may be fined.

Of course, these fines are purely voluntary. Voluntary? Yes, like income taxes. The finds all go into a fund which will be used to buy a brand new statue for the library. What kind of a statue?

A statue of the man whom Osgoode Conklin admires and respects more than anyone else in the world. Who's that? Who else Osgoode Conklin. You see, when he first thought of the idea, he put a receptacle in the hall for donations marked Osgoode Conklin, bust.
