Many teachers returning from their vacations while tanned and rested are looking forward to resuming their duties tomorrow morning. But our Miss Brooks, who spent most of her vacation time teaching English at Madison High Summer School, doesn't share their enthusiasm for getting back into harness.
No, I've been wearing the thing so long, I'm saddle sore. Of course, when summer school ended in August, I did make up my mind to get a complete change of scenery. So I took the money I received, added it to my savings from the regular school term, and by careful budgeting, was able to spend three glorious weeks
in the furnished room I rent all year round. But last Thursday morning at breakfast my landlady Mrs. Davis and I were discussing my plans for a Friday picnic. But why must the picnic be tomorrow, Connie? Why not Saturday or Sunday?
Because Mrs. Davis, tomorrow is the last weekday I'll have off until Thanksgiving. And if our beloved principal could get away with it, he'd change that to a Sunday. Oh, Mr. Conklin isn't bad, bad, Connie. He likes a good time as well as the next fellow.
He likes a good time better than the next fellow. But if the next fellow happens to be a teacher, Mr. Conklin will stop having a good time to give the teacher who's having a good time a bad time.
And the song by Rudy Valley. Oh, is Mr. Boynton picking you to the picnic, honey? Yes, Mrs. Davis, I accepted my invitation on the phone last night. It'll be good to see Madison's bashful biologist again.
