Synopsis:
It’s Career Day at Ella Mentry School and one of the speakers is a newspaper reporter, Mrs. Lilly. She inspires the students to write their own school newspaper. The students interview various faculty around the campus and twist their innocent stories into more “eyeball grabbing” headlines. Examples are “Mr. Docker Beats His Wife” when he wins a race, and “Speech Teacher has a Drinking Problem”, when she spills her drink on herself at lunch, and more. A good portion of the faculty end up going to jail and write their own embarrassing newspaper with embarrassing headlines about the students. Gee, I hope the kids learned their lessons…
