Well, the football fever is sweeping through our schools once more, and Madison High School where our Miss Brooks teaches English is no exception. No, indeed, most of the kids at Madison eat, sleep, and talk, nothing but football.
Of course, it doesn't affect me one way or another. When I start my class in the morning, I simply bark the signal for order, call my monitors into a huddle, and with a single wing to the right, do a reverse-line buck through the second act of Macbeth.
Last Wednesday, when Walter Denton, one of my pupils, joined my land by Demis' Davis and me at breakfast, I chided him about not doing his homework properly. His reaction was instantaneous. I don't see how you can say that, Miss Brooks.
