The scholars include a girl, a "tough guy," a foreigner with an accent, a colored boy and teacher's pet. Recitations, songs and instruction constitute' the act. Local jokes are worked into the recitations, together with frequent assault on the sissy boy by the tough. These finally break up the session. The teacher is generally a Dutch character with a little shaving-brush goatee and a red vest. A number of different characters can be worked into this sketch at the discretion of the Troop. Some of the examination questions are as follows: Teacher: Johnny, define "father." Johnny: Far, father, grandfather. Teacher: Which is correct, 5 and 3 are 9, or 5 and 3 is 9? Morris: Neither. 5 and 3 is 8. Teacher: If your father had $10 and I asked him for $5, how much would he have left? Sandy: $10. Teacher: No, you don't know this example. Sandy: Hoot Mon, you don't know my father. Teacher: Spell "Schenectady." Bill: You spell it, teacher. Teacher: Never mind, we'll make it "Boston." See Also:Campfire Helps |
