Let's Be Good Citizens at School!

Rate: 8 Flag

 

I'm currently enrolled in an intensive three week course worth four credits, which has (surprisingly!) gobbled all of my free time. Eek!  So until I can get back into the OS saddle, feel free to enjoy this little gem of a film.  It was produced by a company called Camerart Pictures, which I've never heard of and which I can therefore assume you've never heard of either.*  I don't know how they did it, but somehow the little, unknown Camerart managed to snap up some first class talent for this.  And by that, I mean if you worked at Camerart and your kid was the right age and could wave convincingly, they got to be in this movie.

 But fear not, gentle reader: for as I diligently pursue my academic goals, I am striving to be an excellent citizen as well as a scholar.  Perhaps one day, if the stars align, I shall be like HARVEY, the happiest lout in school.  Cue my smiling and waving tracking shot! 

 

*I'm assuming I know more about mid-century classroom shorts than you do, so I apologize if I'm being a bit presumptuous here.

That Tommy! You always find such interesting things to share.
Those newspapers used for Miss Hill's paint class are probably loaded with lead and other poisonous chemicals. Anybody who was in Miss Hill's class is probably dead by now.

When do we start playing the games I want to play? I'm getting tired of being a good citizen. I want to be a bad-ass and start running to lunch.

Forget this walking crap. Thanks for sharing. You are a good citizen.
I tried to be a good citizen in class and help others, but when I went to scratch where she itched, she slapped me.

Was that fair?
Shaggy I have no idea how you found this but it was definitely a fun watch.
And by doing their work quietly, the bat-children, sleeping in the rafters, can get their much-needed rest, so they can be well-rested when it's time to fly around the playground at night and feed on the mosquitoes, that would otherwise annoy the friendly children during the day. We all work together!

"What kind of a day was it? A day like all days, filled with the events that alter and illuminate our times" (best to say this while you b-b-b-b with your fingers rapidly fanning your lips, to sound like the mis-sprocketed reels)

THANK YOU for this wonderful trip to my childhood. I loved projector day, when the audio-visual cart came into the room.

It reminds me of the time when John Glenn took his colorful Uruguayan visitors to Yosemite to see how our little Milk cartons are filled and mass produced, and / / /...*****/................................(reel breaks, film unspools on floor. lights on again. Collective "awwwwww" from the class.)
well I would prefer to be called an attention whore, not a poor citizen ... it's "making an entrance", not "being late" ...

;) Very entertaining! Good luck with your course & hurry back ~ miss you!
This is socialist propaganda: cooperation, social bonding, courtesy. Where's the rugged individualism that made this country strong? And obnoxious?
