Barden Well the holiday season is practically with us to our Miss Brooks who teaches English at Madison High School It means more than just a respite from the rigors of a difficult school term

Yes, it means that I'll get a chance to relax and observe the change that takes place in people as Christmas approaches. It's almost visible. The spirit of camaraderie and warm good fellowship which flows between us like a bountiful stream.

I only hope that this season, our beloved principal, Mr. Osgoode Conklin, will get a little on him. I was talking about his temper to my landlady last Friday morning at breakfast. I can't understand it, Mrs. Davis.

I do lately, seems to rub Mr. Conklin the wrong way. What do you mean, Connie? Well, take yesterday, for instance. I was in his office when I saw his lighted cigar lying on the rug unnoticed.

Naturally, I stooped over and picked it up, wouldn't you? Well, I gave up smoking a long time ago. But I didn't want the office to catch on fire, Mrs. Davis. So I merely put the cigar on an ashtray.

You might not believe this, but he was furious. Because you put his cigar back in the ashtray? Well, it wasn't exactly an ashtray. I guess I should have noticed it was an inkwell. Oh, and when you put his cigar in the inkwell, it went out.

That isn't the end I put in the inkwell. 3 puffs later, Mr. Conklin could have won first prize in the child dog contest. He's so unreasonable. You'd think having a blue tongue was a crime.
