Jumping the gun on his accelerated education, Cedric has quit his defense plant job. He may be facing the draft. For now the gents watch the happy scholars on their way to school. Are they so happy because of their new school board president? Not if you ask Lum.
Lum is worried the young-uns are growing up differently, in a money mad society. He’s even more taken aback when his new ward, Mary wants to change her name already. What? She wants to get married? Well at least to change it so she can sit closer to a boy. Alphabetical seating arrangements you know.
