But I was good conchlin principle of Madison High where Armist Brooks teaches English somehow manages to make it seem even harder. Last week, for instance, it was his anti-gambling crusade. Friday morning at breakfast, I discussed the situation with my land lady.

But I didn't think gambling was such a big problem at Madison County. It isn't Mrs. Davis, but Mr. Stone, head of the Board of Education, is cooperating with the DA's office in the countywide drive against gambling.

Naturally, Mr. Conplin hopped on the bandwagon. He's instituted some pretty sweeping reforms in our school. Like what, Connie? Like taking the gum machine out of the cafeteria. Plus which he deputized me to stamp out penny matching.

Did you encounter any in your class, Connie? Well, there were a couple of kids matching pennies in the coat closet during a study period, but it only went on for about ten minutes. Ten minutes? Didn't you stop them, Connie?

Oh, of course I stopped them immediately. May I never get my 55 cents back if I didn't? Well, you're not the only teacher at Madison. Why didn't you get Mr. Boynton to help you out?

I did. The next two times I investigated that coat closet, I took Mr. Martin with me. And did you find anyone? Gee, I forgot to look. Well, if you'll excuse me now, Mrs. Davis, I'd better get ready for school, while her den's picking me up in a few minutes.
