Doc Hall marvels that everything on his schedule is going well and without any problems. As he tells Vicky of her honor to draw the winner of the traditional faculty raffle, she doesn’t think it’s such an honor. Mr Wellman stops in to express his disdain at the longstanding tradition. Is there anything this guy isn’t grumpy about? To add to the story, Professor Warren announces his retirement after having a long career on campus.

What does a horse and buggy have to do with the matter?
