Our Miss Brooks teaches English at Madison High School, and what with the overcrowded classrooms and her rather rigorous schedule, has had, uh, a pretty busy time during the past semester.
But not busy enough evidently to suit Mr. Osgood Conklin, Madison's beloved warden, uh, principal.
[laughs]
Just recently, Mr. Conklin organized a school banking system, and who do you think was selected for the honor of handling this noble project at no increase in salary? Well, it wasn't Barney Baruch.
[laughs]
I've had to take care of all the records single-handed.
Oh, I'm not complaining.
I think it's admirable for people to be saving and frugal, especially if you've got something to frugue, uh, save.
[laughs]
But I didn't count on the complications that set in last week.

Oh, why?
To go to school.
I graduated from school a long time ago.
