Show DR. THOMAS' CLASS IN BUSINESS LAW Act One First student: Got your problems? Second student: No. Third student: The law library was closed last night. Fourth: Good; I didn't go near the 1.1. Fifth: Let's get a good back seat. Sixth: No; I'm going to sit by the door where I can get out quick. Seventh: Who's got the dice? Eighth: Did anybody bring a Life. Ninth: Here he comes; the game's on. Enter Dr. Thomas, Roll book in one hand; one hand in pocket. Act Two Dr. Thomas calling roll: Mr. C. A. Brown here? Where you here yesterday, Mr. Brown? Then was the other Mr. Brown here? Mr. Halverson, you want to talk, what is it? You didn't hear your name called; are you hard of hearing; better take a front seat, it may improve your hearing. Mr. Whitney, if you must look at a pretty girl out the window better get closer to her than that. Voice in back, long distance, please. Dr. Thomas continuing: I don't want any of you chewing gum. Say, Mr. Pingree, come up in the front seat, you act like a lot of children. Mr. Thurman, if you were going to be married, what would you do Mr. Thurman? I would get a job or something. Correct, that's good business law. Better lock the door, too many students late; teach them a lesson. Locks front door, goes through side door while locking front door of adjoining room, students try to lock him out; can t understand that one so dismisses from class till later apology fools for apologizing unless the doctor had a wholesale one to make himself, so on discuss wills gets ready for county clerk or somebody sends out fifteen students for note books, thirty leave the room, five come back; Barnum was right. Tomorrow there will be a test How many tests are we to have each week? Three each week under the quarter system. Then it ought to be two bits for makeup under the quarter system. Who's talking? What did you say? Let the class know. Wasn't that a bright thing to say? Do you want to stay in this class? Credit is not as easy to get as you think. Later you'll be glad to know the principles. By the way which is it, principals or principles, Mr. Patrick? No, your wrong. Mr. Patrick, you have the wrong kind of principles. What if it is ten minutes overtime, some of your teachers keep you twelve. Bring your notebooks tomorrow. The exam will cover this and this and this and this and better come prepared because your neighbor might not know it any better than you do and besides, if I find out------. Mr. Hopfenbeck, remember this seat in front is permanent. Shuffle of feet. Gone class empty. Page 261 |
