Don't think you're interested, but miss Brooks. That's treason How much are the seats a buck a piece if this be treason make the most of it? Look, Walter, I don't want you to think that I'm lacking in school spirit The reason I haven't attended more games this season is because of embarrassment. Our team was just awful 16 straight defeats, isn't it this year all together? It's 39 But the important game is Friday night with Clay City. I know I saw the Clay City game last year I'll never forget how miserable I felt when I left that gym The score was Clay City 92 Madison 6 They really clobbered us in the second half I hope we make a better showing this year if only to keep our beloved principles blood pressure from reaching a new high Well, I don't like to be prematurely optimistic miss Brooks But I met a fellow on our campus yesterday who may make a big difference in the outcome of Friday night's game You mean through him we have a chance of winning definitely I'm surprised that you Walter you should have turned him into the district attorney immediately Now this is a kid who went to Clay City high until his folks moved into our district last week And now he's gonna transfer to Madison and miss Brooks the minute he told me his name I knew he'd be a cinch to make our basketball team Guess who it was Lionel Barrymore Serious miss Brooks. Now this guy happens to be the greatest scholastic basketball player in this area. And what a build on him He must be six feet four. Who is this super kid? Walter? Well, his name is Tex Barton Of course, Texas is just a nickname because his family came to Clay City from Texas sounds reasonable His real name is Vic Barton Don't you remember the fellow who scored over 50 points against us in the game last year? Well now that you mentioned it I do remember a boy named Vic Barton. Well Tex Barton and Vic Barton are the same person No wonder he's so tall Here we are miss Brooks.

Okay, miss Brooks You sure been mighty decent to me ma'am Hasta la vista mm-hmm Adios Andre Mr. Conklin Sir Fire yes From me to question your motives, but I'm afraid you've hurt that boy's feelings Well, perhaps I was a bit harsh with the lad, but he caught me at a bad time I just hung up on Jason Brill when you both arrived at malevolent old devil phone Just to taunt me about the basketball game Friday night got me so upset I bet him a new hat on the outcome of the game before I remembered the results of last year's contest That was disastrous wasn't it they clobbered us Dug up the newspaper account of the game from my file. I've got it right here. Now look at this headline Clay City eeks out victory over Madison 124 to 7 That must have been quite a second half There's an interesting subhead too. It says wild-eyed spectator leaps on court and bites basketball Usher's eject Osgood Conklin He is a bald-faced lie. I know it is mr. Conklin. I was there you bit the referee. I merely broke his whistle What burns me up the most though is this reminder that after the game Madison was presented with the symbol of defeat Cornelius the goat Let's see. Oh, here's that part Cornelius must be fed and housed on the campus of the losing team for the entire school year After four years of defeat the goat becomes the permanent property of the humiliated institution Well, that's a switch on a loving cup Let me remind you miss Brooks that Madison has lost three games in a row to play city if we lose this one that Bleeding monstrosity will be on our hands forever. Mr. Conklin Do you remember a boy named Barton who scored over 50 points against this for Clay City? Oh, of course, I remember now he ran as ragged. Well, that happens to be Tex Barton The boy you just gave the old heave-ho What and he wanted to transfer to Madison miss Brooks dear miss Brooke We've got to do something you've got to do something anything calm down. Mr. Conklin all isn't lost He's coming to my house for dinner tonight, and I'm sure I can undo some of the damage your temper has done That is my problem miss Brooks. I'll be happy to have dinner at your house tonight After all in Texas we always say there's nothing like splitting your chow to help get better acquainted So I've heard and the way I figure if and I can rattle up enough grub We might get so well acquainted.

Shall we say about nine o'clock nine? Yes I should be able to get rid of techs by 8 30 Dinner's almost ready Connie you've been a big help dear, but I didn't do anything mr. Davis I know but you stayed out of my way all afternoon Now you better get back into the living room and join tech. Oh, he's all right, mr. Davis I gave him last Sunday's funnies to read and a box of French chocolates to nibble on You know you wouldn't think to look at that kid that he's Vic Barton the famous clay city basketball star He'd have to be something like that But why is mr. Conklin so anxious to get him to enroll at Madison? Oh, it's a long story mr. Davis I'll give you a rundown after dinner pardon me ladies, but I got a little lonesome in the living room The Loof Lurpus are all gone miss Brooks the Loof Lurpus Those French candies you gave me to nibble on I'll set the box on the sink Is there something I can do to help get chow ready miss Davis? Yes, there is takes you can get the silverware out if you will Oh, that's the front door. I'll answer it. Just make yourself at home. I will Will takes miss Brooks has told me what a basketball star you were at play city. I wonder what made her say that?

I'll be back to help you in a minute miss Davis It's all right take your time Look who's here takes it miss it's mr. Conklin slip us five pardon What's the matter with him? Well, mr. Conklin wants you to know that? Then he was just teasing this morning when he threw you out of his office. I of course my boy I do that to all new pupils. It's sort of a an initiation now Although we don't place too much emphasis on athletics at Madison I just knew you'd want a star in some sport or other So I brought you this all wool sweater, and I had your varsity letters sewn on it in advance You see a big M What clay city we always spelt varsity with a V Only fun in this morning, and you really want me to join up I guess I can think it over a spell longer, please do my boy I gotta get back to the kitchen now miss Davis wants me to get out the silverware silverware and risk cutting those Beautiful basket shooting hands on a sharp knife.

Boynton Tex Howdy sort of a welcome to Madison present. I sure what is it mr. Boynton? It's a knee pad a brand new one those are the best kind I'm sure grateful mr. Boynton. I'd offer you one of the French chocolates miss books gave me But I'm afraid they're plum gone French chocolates with miss Brooks. That's the same candy. I gave oh We're doing a big business tonight. Come on in. It's open Hi folks. Here you are Tex. Oh boy. Here's a little present for you for me I noticed you ride a bicycle, so I bought you this master padlock to put on it when you leave it in front of school You mean somebody might steal it Please Tex. That's one thing about Madison High. There's never been a master padlock stolen Why is everybody being so all fired nice to me first mr. Compton gives me a sweater then mr. Boynton brings me a knee pad You give me this lock and of course miss Brooks gave me a whole box of loofalurpa chocolates What but that's the same candy. I gave mr. Boynton last night We'd better send the box to J Edgar Hoover To keep him busy for months Would you please put a new light bulb in the kitchen ceiling for me? We don't have a step ladder I'll be right with you miss Davis. Excuse me folks. I'll be back before you can say Sam Houston You can say dick Dallas too. I've got to talk to Walter So you gave this candy to mr. Boynton Walter Would you mind telling me what prompted that unusual action? It's a lie The fact that mr. Boynton gave us a biology test this morning Which if I didn't pass would make me ineligible to manage the basketball team Friday night has nothing to do with it Why that's nothing short of bribery and I suppose I'll have to reimburse you for the chocolates you indirectly donated Oh, that won't be necessary miss Brooks. I got him for nothing for mr. Conklin. Oh He doesn't know it What do you mean? Well, I helped Harriet burn some rubbish yesterday So she told me to help myself to some candy on the way out of her house Well, I didn't see the jelly bean she meant for me to take so I just latched on to the box of French chocolates It wasn't until today that Harriet told me that old Marvel had bought the chocolates for a special occasion Gee if he finds out I swiped him he'll drug me. I'm simple Wouldn't lay a hand on you. It's not his hand. I'm worried about When he gets your drop kick in the seat of my pants, so look like the lobby of Grumman's Chinese Well, take it easy raffle nobody's gonna put the finger on you around here Well, everything's working out just splendidly miss Brooks. Oh, hello, miss Martin Good evening sir. I have the honor to inform you all of the fact that thanks to my warm and endearing personality Thanks, Barton has consented to enroll at Madison High immediately. Oh, that's wonderful. Oh, congratulations, sir Now you men stay right here, I'll go out and get the dishes to the dinner table. I Thought I'd better get the dishes mrs. Davis. All right, dear. I just checked what we'll need on the kitchen table Did that mr. Conklin tell you the thrilling news about takes here? Yes, he did well needless to say tax We're all delighted to have place that is top basketball star as the Madison Pupil Oh a lot of men and miss Brooks about that basketball stuff. There's something you ought to know You mustn't try to carry so many dishes at once, honey. Oh, I can manage them all. What were you saying tax? Well, it's like I was telling miss Davis. You must have me mixed up with my brother Vince Barton I never played no basketball for Clay City Crash what happened? Hey, what is it miss Brooks? Nothing? I merely dropped a few dishes I'll help you pick them up. I'll take the plate. I'll take the soup bowl, and I'll take the cups and sauces You've got to be more careful miss Brooks here. You can hold this large platter. Thank you Shocks, I don't know what made miss Brooks gets a skittish all of a sudden. Oh, just forget it boy I don't understand all I said to her was she had me mixed up with my brother Vince And that I never played no basketball for Clay City Let's make it unanimous. There's one point. I think I ought to clear up I said I never played no basketball for Clay City, but I didn't say I never played no basketball It's just that this being my freshman year I wasn't able to straighten out my credits till a couple of weeks ago. Nevertheless the fact for me I don't like to brag After I worked out with the team for a few days why all the coaches agreed my brother Vince was Almost as good as I am. Nevertheless the fact remains Vince was almost as good as you are Yes, sir. If I said it once I'll say it twice this calls for a celebration his dinner ready, Mrs. Davis not quite Connie. It'll take about a half hour yet Why don't you all go in the living room and wait? Oh, but I'm starved if I could just take something with me to nibble on I say what's this? Loofler for chocolate Well, I see we have another prank stay in our midst Prankster. Yes. Yes. This candy is sold only in novelty shops. I bought mine early this year for fear they'd run out I'm going to send a box to Jason Brill on April 1st, but I don't understand. Mr. Conklin What's in the chocolate? What isn't in them? There's enough pepper and spice in each one to have Brill clutching his bloated bay window for hours Very funny Are you positive these are the same kind of chocolates you bought Mr. Conklin? Looflerper? Looflerper is simply April Fool's spelled backwards Candy it would taste funny, wouldn't it? Well, that's the beauty of this particular brand It's got a sweet coating that disguises the pepper. It takes about an hour to work, but once it catches on oh brother Oh brother Text text speak to me. Why are you turning that color? I'm a getting out of here getting out, but why what's wrong boy? I'm a going back to clay city I'll protect you at least nobody never tried to poison me. I'm beginning to feel like an emotional yo-yo Well, you'll find it out sooner or later, Mr. Conklin text ate a whole box of those candies. What but how did he get them? They were a gift a gift, but he's liable to be laid up for a week And if he doesn't play Friday night, we're certain to get possession of that reeking goat Cornelius Now then Mr. Boynton Denton, Miss Brooks, I demand to know who gave that candy to tech spot Mr. Conklin, I can disclose the identity of the culprit with one word and that word is And as our miss Brooks returns in just a moment, but first You get smoother more comfortable comfortable Shaves by shaving the palm olive brushless way Yes smoother more comfortable comfortable Shaves the palm olive brushless way Hey, that's a fact man.
