[Music] Drop me off at the Dickinson. Uh, no, wait. Let me off at Foundation House, will you? You want to talk to the headmaster? [Music] Oh, well, back again, Hicks. Yes, sir, I am. And I, I'm glad to be here, sir. Do you have a second? Chance? I, I just wanted you to know that, sir, right off the bat. Good. By the way, the Dickinson has a new housemaster. I've transferred Mr. Tapping to the Woodhull. Hey, I hope it's not because of anything because of you and the problems you caused him. Don't flatter yourself. No, I just thought the transfer might give him a little rest. Make Nutter's grand finale at the end of last term gave his nerves an awful shock. Big Nutter's grand finale, sir? Do you mean to say that McBoot has been fired? Well, let's just say he fired himself. Himself, his possessions, his entire room at the Dickinson. His mother writes that he's healing nicely, however. Which reminds me, Miss Brightwell, issue a written directive stating that no chemistry stills of any kind are to be allowed in the boys' rooms, no matter how innocent the scientific pursuit. I, Miss Brightwell, include that in next year's catalog, would you? Yep. Welcome back, Hicks. Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. [Music] Fellas, here I am. Key, what's everybody over here? Oh, yeah, lovely. New, lovely sight. Got a pup still in top form, I see. Hungry, how's the boy? This is great. Everybody's here. The only one who's missing is Duck. I can't believe it about Duck. Worst of it is the pewter blue tapping right over here into the Woodhull. And who might this antediluvian shaft of bones with a southern drawl be? Who might this carpetbagger, come lately, who talks like a Yankee salesman be? Do you know who you're talking to? Don't you know that's the prodigiously key? Never mind, Hungry, he'll find out soon enough. Uh-oh, here it comes. So, I can feel it. Genius burns. The master's back, right? I've got it, son. Whoever you were, whatever name your parents gave you, temporarily until such time as you run it to me, blot it from the records. I baptize you, the Tennessee Shed. That'll do, I suppose. Gentlemen, I accept. Just now, I think I could do with a double. So I'll go get my jacket and meet up with you later. Hey, wait. Thank you, fellas. Does he mean he accepts? Course he accepts. Who is this young upstart? It's a new breed of young and intensifies. I don't know. Different. He's only been here half a term, but he's not green at all. He's burrowed right into the Woodhull. Well, the Woodhull can have him. Here, man. Tabby, our concern is the Dickinson, right? It's good to have you back. The Dickinson's fallen on hard times, Hickey. Well, that's all about to change now, gents, isn't it? The first thing we have to do is get off this Woodhull porch and get over to the Dickinson. Come on. Well, petite, you come up with a name like a Tennessee Shatner. You're right. Lovely. When no one else can think about picky ken. Oh, I'm sorry. Don't apologize, Smith. It's your room. Too. No, that's right. I have work to do at the library anyway. Even though you can't come up with a name for Smith, you're right. Lovely. He's just too ordinary. Yeah, let's go have a [Music] [Music] Boys, EULA's lu to Meade. Yes, sir, Mr. Tapie. I noticed open tins of crackers as I passed your room just now, and crumbs everywhere. Such sloth only breeds vermin and insects. I'm afraid if you cannot store your food properly, even if it is a gift from home, I shall have to confiscate it. That is all. No. What was that? Meade. Nothing. What nothing, Mr. Tapping? Then see. And what do you boys think you're going? The village? Well, think again. I want you all upstairs immediately to clean up the mess at once. It's good to have you back, Hickey. Just hasn't been the same. Sure has been dull around here. But now that you're back, things are bound to get livelier. Well, fellows, I'm a changed man. One terminal sitting it out at home has made me cautious. Anyway, with Debbie in the Woodhull now, we shouldn't have any trouble, should we, gents? It all depends on our new housemaster. It's a new mathematics teacher, otherwise known as the unknown quantity. Doesn't show up till tomorrow. Class time. Stood over us. You stood over us, Mr. Elom Renzo Blackstone. [Music] Dickinson's gift to the Woodhull. Yes. And now that Hickey's back, you can bet they can just sit around over there and gloat right over our misfortune, right? Hey, we've got to show Tabby. Then we're not gonna stand for any of this. Pretty pissed. What lovely is is underhanded methods. Jack. Tabby needs a lesson. Then Hickey needs a lesson. Question is, how do we make our point? Abby, Vicki's the expert on Tabby. Yeah, Hickey's always hatchet up the big ones. Let's ask Hickey. No, thank you. It was the Dickinson crowd that got us into this chat. Right. Trouble is, Hickey, such a genius when it comes to this kind of thing. Well, it's time we gave Hickey and his fellows a run for their money. Start with Taddy. But how? How about the skeleton? [Music] It was a. And who's gonna take it? You? Me? Yeah. You. What about Guy Pop? He's got to crawl from the air hole. What about you? Somebody's got to supervise. You're not superstitious, are you? No. No, I'm not superstitious. Exactly. [Music] There was nothing. It was the building. All buildings creak at night. [Music] I swear I heard something. Listen. There is against it. It's outside. [Music] Died. [Music] Told me Franco. Watchmen, keep quiet till he passes on. [Music] [Music] See that's where we're gonna hoist him. Lovely. I'll go get the gutter pup started, and then I'll be right back. Are you gonna take the app? The liar. Sure. You're getting scared. I'm not. I just don't like being left in the dark alone with this thing in my arms. It's all. What do you want to do my job? Crawling up and down through 30 feet of air shaft with bugs and spiders and mice? Because if you do, just say so. Nah, stay here. Right. It's not about that. Careful not to leave any clues. Yes. And Shed, if you'd like a bully of a criminal. [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] Lovely, Mom's in your shot. We scared? What say you've got nerve? Honestly, how did it feel all alone, hugging no bones in the dark? You know, I kind of liked it. And I kept trying to imagine. Look, you like to see it. Ghosts get hard to keep away. Oh, that's what's that? It's good to work. [Music] [Laughter] [Music] Turkey, I swear. Young gentlemen of the school, such an outrage has never occurred before in the history of this institution. Not only has a gross desecration been done to the sacredness of this spa, but a wanton and cowardly insult has been perpetrated on one of the masters. It is as cowardly as the miserable wretch who writes an anonymous letter, as cowardly as the drunken bully who shoots from the dark. I repel the thought that this is a manifestation of the spirit of this school. Rather, it is the isolated act of a few misguided unfortunates who should never have entered this institution and who will leave it on the day of their detection. Young gentlemen, be warned. That is all. You are dismissed to begin your first classes. Oh dear, a smile would have saved it. Tapping, tapping, tapping, tapping is an expert at historical facts and figures, but I'm afraid he understands nothing about the humanizing disciplines. You think it was Hicks? If so, the fellows astonishing needs no warmup period at all. No, frankly, I don't. But whoever did do it was hoping we would come to that conclusion. If so, Hicks may have himself a rival. By heaven, I never thought of that. Hmm. Well, in that case, Hicks may have more to learn this term than he thinks. What do you intend to do about this incident? Nothing. I refuse to engage this early in the term. Mercy. But you had no intention of letting the boys know you feel that way. Oh, exactly. You know my methods. Liberty tempered with expulsion. Mm-hmm. However, time will tell. We'll see how Hicks fares with his new housemaster. Oh, yes, the new mathematics professor. That should be interesting, especially as Hicks is even weaker in mathematics than Latin. This reminds me. This Baldwin must be green. He ought to be quite easy. I don't know. These mathematical sharks are always fancy markers. Suffering losses. I'm so fake when it comes to mathematics. Me too. And sold up. I never could do anything with figures. It figures. No skeletons. Maybe. Maybe. The question is, gents, how do we fix it so that we don't get loaded down with too much work? That's real simple. Obvious. If we want short lessons, we've all gotta flunk right in the beginning. That's right. He's right. He's still the boy. Cheese. He's coming. Good morning. My name is Mr. Baldwin. Now, boys, we're not only beginning a new term, but a new relationship together. I hope you'll like me. Hmm. I know I shall like you. I'm quite a boy, you know. Quite a boy. Now, I'm going ahead on a new prince. I'm going to assume that you all take an interest in your work. I'm going to assume that you look upon life with seriousness and purpose. I'm going to assume that you realize the sacrifices your parents are making to afford you an education. I'm not here as a taskmaster. I'm here to help you as your friend, your companion, as an older brother. That's it. An older brother. You know, as a mathematician, I believe in experiments, even outside mathematics. I know our interest in one another will not be limited to the classroom. Elder brother Baldwin is so easy, it's almost embarrassing. You know, I'm toying with the idea of getting a welcoming committee together. Pei Baldwin, little visit. This I gotta see too. What count? I said Nicky. Sorry, boys, not this time. As he is our new housemaster, I deem it appropriate for only Dickinson men to be present. Members only, gems. Oh, and certainly no one who hasn't been in school for more than half a term. But give our regards to Tabby, won't you? [Music] I am glad to see that you take me at my word, and I hope you will drop in often. There are lots of things I want to talk over with you. Yes, it's very kind of you, sir. And we, in turn, sir, thought you might like to know about some standard classroom procedures here at the school. I'd appreciate that. Yes, for example, sir, it's usual practice for teachers to call us alphabetically for recitations, so we all get a chance to recite. That way, none of us gets passed over. Yes, of course. An excellent method. I hope that wasn't too forward of me to bring that up, sir. No, that's all. I hope you'll always find me open for suggestion. And I do have some ideas about education that I'm anxious to share with my boys. Education and government, for example. The democratic process. Yes, sir. That sounds wonderful, sir. We'll drop in again there real soon. Okay. Thank you, sir. Mr. Tapping, sir. Lovely. Let Mr. Tapping pass, will you? Oh, certainly, certainly. Garba, you finally stepped aside. Make a little patch. Jabbing my old beams with pleasure. You, George Parker Smith. Me, sir? How dare you? You know the rules in this school against smoking. Against smoking tobacco, sir? Of course. Against smoking tobacco. Well, what have you to say for yourself, Smith? But this isn't its backhoe cigarette, sir. It's a cubed. What cubeb, sir? Dr. Jackson prescribed them for me as medicines for my cold. And these are not tobacco, you say? No, sir. Dr. Jackson gives them out for colds, hay fever, asthma. I see. One of their for medicinal purposes. I must say, Smith, I'm much relieved. Even the idea of any of the boys in this school giving in to the temptation of the demon cigarettes. Well, suffice to say, I'm much relieved. Let this be a reminder to all of you to remain sound and pure in mind and body. There are many evils in this world, not the least of which is tobacco. Remember, each and every one of you, every tobacco cigarette you smoke will be a nail in the coffin of your mother. Think of that, and I'm certain you will always keep steady. Well, golden huggers, it's splendidly. The boys are more than friendly. We shall get on famously. Denials Tamayo at Donath event. It now. I'm an old fogy, old style, and it's based on good scientific research. Baldwin. Well, I just dropped in for a hint or two which you won't pay any attention to, but never mind. When you've lived with the young human animal as long as I have, you won't have any illusions. I don't know. We live in an enlightened age. I'm sure that's filtered down to the modern boy. The modern boy that you called him is no different to any other boy. He doesn't want to be enlightened. He hasn't the least desire to be educated, and he isn't educated. His memory merely detains for a brief period of time a larger and larger number of facts. Oh, we can remember when he's compelled to, but he's supremely bored by the performance. All he wants to do is to grow, play, and get into sufficient mischief. By dear fellow, treat him as a splendid young savage who will break a rule for the joy of matching his wits against yours, and don't take him seriously, which you are in danger of doing, and don't let him take you seriously. Will lead you to a cropper. No, no, no. That's just what I intend to change. This whole antagonistic spirit of education. Replace old prejudices with modern methods. That's the ticket. You'll never wear in a boarding school, will you? No. Laughter. All the first. Yeah. Baldwin, we learn more than we teach. We need hitters and we need runners. Well, the shed looks like he's even around the diamond and nothing flat with those limbs. Yep. You're right. You can be the top talent. Fine to the season in that department. You Tennessee Shad. You Jack. What? Sorry. The mines and other things. What is it? Old philosopher. Authenticity game is running around a baseball diamond. A mental gymnastics are so intense they require all my strength. Well, this ought to be good. You're developing a a what? Gutter pub. A local reputation. Yeah, but what I'm out for is an international reputation. You don't say so. And I've just thought up the greatest stunts pulled off any school, any time, any country. Well, we're listening. Well, I'll put it this way. What would happen if the faculty ever really caught any was smoking? Oh, it's a crime punishable by suspension, so says the catalog. What I propose to do is to go two times around the circle inside of every master in the place smoking a tobacco cigarette. Oh, at night. I mean, that's an easy one. No, in full daylight, and remain in school. And remain in school. Are you a betting man? First, last, and always. I'll bet you. I'll bet you my monthly allowance. You're on. Oh dear, I can't even see what it went. Thank you. Um, Smith, sir. Just Smith. Oh, yes, Smith. Well, don't look so downcast. Two fine, upstanding names. One of the boys call you Smith, sir? Jess Smith. Few men you've been three years this school and have escaped a nickname. How did you contrive to do that? Just to average their average height, unlike two inches. Brown, for example. Yes, sir. An average weight as opposed to a fall Perkins, a or FLE McIntyre. Average student. Triumphant eggheads out. I'm afraid. Average athletic ability. Flesh Condit. Even my teeth are average, which rules out Walrus or Tuscarora Smith. So. Well, no outstanding accomplishments or characteristics at all. Oh, shut up, Smith. Some boys are born to greatness, others have greatness thrust upon them. You look like a thrust upon type to me. And after all, your life here isn't quite over now. Take politics, for instance. What do you know about politics? Why, nothing. And yet here we are in the middle of an election year. That's true. That is so. Hungry. Yeah, I never thought of that. I have an idea I'd like to talk over with you. Suppose we had a political campaign right here on campus. You mean an election? That's right. Although not for any of our national candidates. I think it's best to keep personalities out of this. Do you mean an election over an issue of say, school policy? Yes. Yes. What a good idea. I must say, Hicks, I find your responsiveness most gratifying. You have leadership qualities, Hicks. Leadership qualities. Now, here's my thinking. We'll structure a campaign with two parties. [Music] But where in blazes did you get this political Shinde into your thinker? It's Elder Brother's theory of education. One of his theories. Elder Brother is much distressed with the political ignorance of the modern bullet. There you fellas are. I've been looking all over for you. You won't believe it. The wonder of the age is about to walk through that door. Gentlemen, I'm honored to announce the one, the only. Cats and mice. Only cats. Dogs be jiggered. Hey, I don't believe it. Doc McNew ders. Well, gents, it just goes to show you can't keep a good man down. And the thing they carried you out of here on a stretcher would take more than a small explosion to kill me. But I still can't figure out where I went wrong with that chemical experiment. Oh, I felt sure that I'd come up with a way to turn the baser metals into gold. Huh, I'll get it yet. Meanwhile, it's good to be back. Fill me. Well, you may not think it's so good when you hear Hickey's latest. He's fixed up a little plan with brotherly love Baldwin. Oh, yeah. Made his acquaintance when I checked in at the Dickens. A joy. A perfect joy. Well, you won't think so when you hear that Akise cooked up a scheme with Baldwin to have a political campaign campaign here at the school. The Lawrenceville School. Jhansi Green Foundation. The same. I don't believe it. It's a dream come true. Vicki, my bounding boy. I can see you're coming. Hand. I think that's been fire damaged. What the deuce do you seen it, Duck? Okay, you rambunctious foxy Pro. Just a key, however did you manage it? Sympathy, Duck. Sympathy. It's a beautiful thing, boys. Beautiful and rare. A key, don't torture me with curiosity. Where we at? Well, on the way to bonfires, stump speeches, parades, etc., etc. It sounds most attractive. But how will the headmaster ever fall for it? I figure I have the two chances. A Baldwin or the decoy. Ducks. Decoy. Dr. Soy ducks. I've given the matter serious thought. In the following collection of her ark angels will be rounded up tomorrow morning for the doctor's inspection. Wash Simmons, a halo. Thompkins, ooh, this a bed and a flu. Hi markers to boot. Egghead, of course. Send a pal. Peterson, then. Oh, and of Plato Watkins. The doctor's real affectionate with him. Well, boys, this appears to be a responsible gathering. An unusually responsible one. Mr. Baldwin has apprised me of his plan, and I must confess to feeling gratified. The leaders of this school have shown such an interest in the political welfare of our nation. As it happens, I leave next week for a conference in Boston on increased liberty and secondary education. So, Mr. Baldwin, I will leave you to plan the necessary details. Thank you, sir. Boys. [Music] I think that well, the headmaster is very pleased. Now we can get on with the business of warming this campaign. [Music] Well, how'd it go? Couldn't be better. And now that Doc's back, things will return to normal. The Dickinson is clearly the seed of political power and influence in this institution. Did you ever doubt it? I must confess them. Holy Mack. Will you see what I see? Oh, it's wrong, sir. Throw that cigarette down this instant, you young reprobate. Please, sir, I'm trying to work off a cold. Only a Cuba. Know what the cubeb, sir? Were these prescribed by Dr. Jackson? Oh, yes, indeed, sir. Of course, the cubeb isn't tobacco, but smoking is forbidden. Oh, no, sir. Catalog only forbids the use of tobacco. To bebs are a medicine, of course. Carry on. It's all right, boys. We'll continue our discussions tomorrow. [Music] Wanting to see what the Shad thinks he's doing. No, wait. Look, here comes the muffiny. It's a cube ABS here. How do you like that muffin head? Just walked away. Wait, there's paw dater. He just walked away. Well, yes, it's no Roman. Someone must have put them wise. He's too smart to come out now. What now? What now? For the real thing. See, I have my own decoy ducks. [Applause] Go. [Applause] [Music] See, Baldwin, I happen to notice how you and the other masters were caught out there. If you're going to deal with boys, you must outthink them. That's the only way, Baldwin. The only way. Don't walk into their traps. Don't do it. Every time a master lets himself be fooled, he loses some of his authority. Imagination, Baldwin. Imagination. [Music] Shut my profound congratulations. I admit I never thought you could do it. Me neither. My hat is off to you, Shed. Of course, I'm a poorer man for it, but it was well worth the wager. Gents, look at that. He'll go down the annals of the school. Let's go. [Music] There he was, hoisted on the shoulders of the school. I have to admit, he's a cool one. Shad has been a thorn in my side long enough. He's got the whole Woodhull believing that there it. We need to re-establish supremacy. That's all. Yes, yes. But how? Don't worry, Icky. I've got great faith. An opportunity will present itself. And then he was lecturing Baldwin on the intricacies of the boys' mind. Tapping. Oh, the devil of it is, I'm certain that a great flim-flam has been perpetrated on us all by the Tennessee Shed. Is that what they call it? Who gave him that name? Hickey, I suppose. Well, if it was, he's ruling the day. I'm sure I caught a glimpse of his face when they were cheering the Shed. So that's Hicks' rival. Well, well, well, well. Who else would it be? The boy had insinuated himself here before Hicks had returned from exile. Hmm. Was he responsible for the skeleton? Do you suppose? He'll probably never know for sure. Hmm. Probably. Well, is ancient history. Still, we wouldn't want the Tennessee Shad to feel that he'd escaped our notice altogether. I'd ride. [Music] Hello, Tuck. But where's the chef? I don't know. He went for a walk. She was supposed to go to the roof with us. It's the only place to be on a nice weather like this. Smith. Well, it's stifling in here. You should come along with us. I ought to finish this Cicero. Oh, come on. I'll give you the translation when we come down. Come on, don't be a grind, Smithy. All right, I'm with you. That's my boy. You lost anything, sir? I understand you've had a bad cold. It seems to have gone, however, sir. Congratulations. Now that you're better, the headmaster has suggested that you might like to stroll over to the library with me. There's a new consignment of books that needs cataloging. I'm sure you'd like to volunteer for a little love library duty. Be careful, Smithy. It's slippery as the deuce up here. Look out, fellows. I'm gonna [Music] For all Smith is dead. Squashed like a bug. Will never recognize his remains. Dad. Papa. It's all our fault. Brace up. That we've got to get down to it. Come on now. Careful. [Music] Smith, your bones are broken. Uh, uh. Gravel. Holy cats. Give you feedback. Oh, yeah. We've gotta get him upstairs and someone to get Dr. Jackson. 5, 36, 37. We're not exclusive. The mice. [Music] You did sit down rather hard, but other than that, you're extremely lucky, young man. Now, see to it you stay in bed the next few days. Although something tells me you have no choice in the matter. Good day. I was right. An opportunity has presented itself. What? Why, you're a wonder. You're great. You're it. There's been nothing like it. Ever happened. I suppose. Everything. Everyone's excited. Excited, my boy. They are howling with curiosity. I don't suppose you realize when we can make it this video. What do you mean? First of all, where are those 37 pieces of gravel? It's just one way, my boy. Pearls before swine. Throw over there in the basket. You have certain qualities, I'll admit. But what you need is a manager. Now, I represent the Honourable Hickey Hicks, and my client has empowered me to make you a proposition. A contract to which I have right here. Why? What are you thinking of, Smith? You nincompoop. There's money to be made. Exhibitions, paid exhibitions, my boy. We'll organize the greatest sideshows ever known. Won't that be rather an undignified dignity? Talk to me of dignity when you can hear the gold rattling in your pockets, when you lodge in a marble palace and ride fast horses up Fifth Avenue. Fast horses are no worth to me at all right now. All right, forget the fast horses. But that doesn't mean we still can't make money, my boy. You don't know what you're worth. What do I get out of it? Half? Why, you lowdown robber. Who had the idea? And we organized the whole show, my boy. We are generous. My client is even now putting his mind to thinking of a name for you worthy of your exploit. Come on, together we can make history and money. Is it a go? Wow. All right, but no private exhibitions now. In fact, mums the word altogether. Agreed. Agreed. Wait till you see the posters. 10 seconds with Old Ironsides, the human meaty, or the plunging rocket. Does the boy Belliard? But only this afternoon, gents. Admission is five cents. 10 cents for freshman year. Old Ironsides, value in his own words of his step diviner. Also, in view of the original 37 pieces of gravel, which can be or stands for only $1 apiece. That's one dollar, beast. Gents, but only today. You have to get them now. Come one, come all. Collectors over there, going for the tuck. We're doing it right under the shad snows. Next step, right up. Enter lively, gents. Go see Doc. Make you tear that stock McNerney, the gentleman with the baller and the spectacles. You can pay him. [Music] It's Old Ironsides. [Music] The headmaster and I had given a campaign a good deal of thought, and we've settled on the question of a student disciplinary committee as an issue of interest, and yet one that can be calmly and orderly discussed. The two parties will be the Federalists and the anti-federalists. That is all. Boards X between minimum. I'll ask you to stay behind. It's because I'd like you to leave the anti-federalist position. You mean in favor of the faculty, sir? Exactly. Oh, I know that's the less popular position. That's why I'd like someone with your capabilities to lead the way. Yes, sir. I'll do my best, sir. But might I suggest an incentive? Just as inducement to get the boys on our side. What did you have in mind? You say a bonfire or an event of that nature? Just something for the fellows to rally around. I see your point. A faculty-approved bonfire might be just the thing. Capital, Hicks. Capital. Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. We've got the short end of it. All right, standing up for the faculty, fellows. Don't you see? If you come out for the faculty, then we'll win. You come out ahead. I foresee blissful times in the future, James. Blissful times. Why, already a brotherly love Baldwin has agreed to a rousing bonfire for the campaign. Truths. Very, very true. What we need to do is just plan this very carefully. Add a few extra planks to our platform. Exec enhance our position. Exactly. If I could just make a suggestion here. And what would that be? I want to be made chairman of the Finance Committee. Finance Committee. Finance Committee. If I might just interject here, gents, I would like to know what claim the Honourable Tennessee Shed has to a position of trust and responsibility. Claim or no claim, either I handle the funds this year. Campaign or the anti-federalist party begins to split. Legislative jamuns, gentleman, split. We must have harmony. I propose we take a boat. All those in favor of picky say aye. Aye. All those in favor of the Tennessee Shad. I. The will of the majority is clear. William Hicks, it is. Congratulations. Thank you, Turkey. You want it. Well, thank you, Jensen. Case. Gentlemen, I have the honor of bidding you farewell. This great party is in the hands of commercial interests and private privilege. I retire. I withdraw. I shake the dust from my feet. I depart. But I shall not sleep. I shall not rest. Remember, gentlemen, as the anti-federalists party this hour. And when in the stillness of the night you hear the swish of the poison arrow, the swirl of the tomahawk, the thought of the secret stone, and say to yourself, the Tennessee Chef. A fellow Federalists, let us depart. [Music] Baldwin, you've got to call off this whole campaign. Call it off? Yes. Don't you see that it's bound to stir up rivalries in this school that already exist? I don't see how. I tell you, we're just gonna have a bunch of hotheads on our hands. I don't agree at all. The boys are proceeding in a most orderly fashion. They've already organized a bonfire for the campaign. The boys had organized a watch. Baldwin, don't you realize the forces you've unleashed? [Music] Go-go's. Hey, did you see what is hanging outside the Schad's window? Goo-goo's. Goo-goo's. An apron-strings. Hickey. Oh boy, we've got to be up and doing. It's all the Sherrod's work. We should never have let him get away from us. It's a rotten issue and to rot in the game. Proud to announce. Lovely and I have established a thorough system of espionage. That's right. Through the corruption of Klondike Jackson. He waiks tables. The Dickinson. And in addition, must grant foster in this current right. Not being over popular at the Davis, he has perceived the great truths of federalism as we know it. Could work the whole floor form is ours too. And if heads don't stand a chance. [Music] Fellows, I'm no silver-tongued orator, but but CY over at the Griswold is what is afraid that the other residents of the Griswold aren't quite up when they're anti-federalism and are going to need a little bit of literature to educate them. Literature? Eight volumes. Eight green-backed pieces of literature. Rob, why, that's corruption. Clearly. But the question remains, do they get the literature? Yes or no? I protest. Remember, gents, this is a clean campaign. We will not buy votes. No. However, we will encourage local enterprise. Let's see. The Griswold must be trying to fit themselves out for the new baseball season. Therefore, I suggest contributing towards a catcher's mask and Emmitt and letting it go. A dad. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] What news? Thoroughly satisfied with your new course on political education? Why, the boys seem enthusiastic. I think they're thoroughly interested. Interested? Yes, quite so. Oh, by the way, I'm Baldwin. I'm not going to Trenton for the evening. If there's any attempt to set the house on fire or to dynamite it, do go out and argue gently with the boys. Reason with them, Baldwin. But appeal to their better natures. Goodbye. In the name of the anti-federalists party, I care. By. [Applause] [Music] I understand. I reasoned with them. I did. Baldwin, look at this mess. This is the result of your modern methods. And the headmaster due back any moment now. You will get every boy in this school into that chapel immediately. And when you've done that, you will talk to them. I. Yes, you. You started this. You finish it. [Music] Young gentlemen of the Lawrenceville School, I will say just one word. The political campaign will stop now, at once. A vote on the issue, the proper issue, will take place immediately. Will the leaders of both parties stand? You to make neuter. You're as much a ringleader as anyone. Now, each of you will return to the matter at hand and state briefly and clearly, if you can, your party's position. X. Well, I guess we've all proved the anti-federalists' position. What Hickey means, I guess we've shown we're unfit to govern ourselves. Should let the faculty do it, right? I just like to say that I, for one, certainly had no intention of demonstrating it this way. I'm very sorry, Mr. Baldwin, sir. Me too. I don't think we should give up on ourselves yet. I know it looks pretty bad. The campus is, well, a mess. But it was our first goal, and even though some fellows were slow to warm up to the issue at first, he did eventually pull in every last one of them. Let's give the Federalist position another try. I think we're ready now for some real responsibility. I know I am, and I'd like to prove it. Well, then, before we vote, would anyone have anything else to add? Smith. Well, what if we were to keep discipline in the hands of the faculty, but having advised a sort of an advisory board made up of students? I mean, not for the Feds or for the anti-Feds, and not for the Dickinson or the Woodhall or any other house, but for Lawrenceville, or the school. Rafer Old Ironside. [Applause] Was very successful. Don't you. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Coming up next at 9 o'clock, Soldiers of the Summit.
