Madison High School where our Miss Brooks teaches English is one of them although the others usually dispense with classes on the last they are two of the old term, Madison did not. No, indeed. Our beloved principal, Osgoode Conklin, saw it of that.

In fact, he was quite chagrined when a cloud burst last Friday kept almost all of the student body at home. Even members of the faculty didn't get down, except a handful of teachers, me. Since Mr. Conklin didn't show up until quite late, I took it upon myself to dismiss the few soaked pupils who were floating around the halls.

Saturday morning at breakfast I discussed the situation with my land lady. And what did Mr. Conklin say when you told him you had cancelled school for the day, Connie? He didn't say a word, Mrs. Davis, until he came down off the ceiling.

Then he accused me of usurping his function as a principal and throwing a monkey wrench into his plan for getting the jump on the other schools. What sort of plan did he have, Connie? Well, he felt that schedule should be revised and classes assigned before the first day of the new semester.

Hence, we have all been invited to appear at school today. But this is Saturday, Connie. Mr. Conklin hasn't the authority to make anybody come to school. He doesn't make anybody come. He's put it on a voluntary basis.
