00:01Here are Robert Young and Jane Wyatt with Ellen O'Donoghue, Billy Gray and Lauren Chapin in Father Knows Bed.
00:24Just because you have to get up and go to school doesn't mean everybody does.
00:28Now be quiet!
00:30He wants me to be quiet! He wants me to be quiet!
00:36Father, tell Bud to be quiet!
00:38Bud, be quiet.
00:42Bud's pretty gay for the first day of school. You suppose he's delirious?
00:47Something will certainly ease the pain of going back to school. Girls, maybe?
00:51Oh, I doubt it. He'll see the same girls at school he's been seeing all summer.
00:55Oh, he's probably just happy to be getting back to his studies.
00:59Ha!
01:05Bud?
01:06Yeah?
01:07Breakfast in five minutes.
01:09I'll be down in 30 seconds!
01:11Hey, Bud, have you seen my... What's that?
01:21It's a horse collar. It's the latest thing. Everybody's wearing them this year.
01:25Whee!
01:35I know this is a silly question, but what's that for?
01:37It's a present.
01:39For my history teacher, Mr. Jeffries.
01:41Well, lucky him!
01:43What do you expect him to do with it?
01:44Oh, it's a gag. You see, he's crazy about horses.
01:46There's a bunch of us guys who are going to be in his class again this year presenting it to him.
01:49He'll get a big laugh out of it.
01:51Good old Jeff. What a wonderful guy.
01:53You met him last fall.
01:54Well, it's about time you arrived, Miss Molasses, in January.
01:57Shall we eat so that we won't be late the first day of school?
02:00Daddy, can I have a horse collar?
02:02What for, kiddin'?
02:03It's the latest thing. Bud says all the kids are wearing them.
02:07I was just kiddin'. It's a present for one of my teachers.
02:10Oh. I don't even know who my new teacher's gonna be.
02:14Well, cheer up, kiddin'.
02:16You have only one teacher to get acquainted with.
02:18Think about the teacher.
02:20She has 25 or 30 of you kids to figure out. Did you ever think of that?
02:23Now, that's the great thing about Jeff's history class.
02:26We're gonna have practically all the same guys who were in the class last spring.
02:29That was the first thing we did before school let out.
02:31We made sure that we were gonna get right back in Jeff's history class this fall.
02:34I've never seen such enthusiasm for a teacher. What's his secret?
02:37It's no secret. He's just a great guy. Everybody likes him, and I mean everybody.
02:41To have one class with him is worth going to school the whole day.
02:44Boy, is that gonna be a ball.
02:46Hello, Kippy. Hi.
02:48What do you say, Kip? Come on in. You got the picture?
02:50I had to go to the outfit that printed up the school yearbook.
02:53Talk him out of his picture, get it enlarged.
02:55Oh, yeah, that's old Jeff. Hey, there's Jolly Jeff.
02:58Why don't I get teachers like that?
03:02Mine are always women.
03:05Well, off to the mines.
03:07Hey, remember the time Jeff took the whole class swimming out to Long Lake?
03:10Long Lake!
03:11Yeah, yeah.
03:12It was a big canoe with a seal.
03:13Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:14That's in the invitation of Washington Washington in Delaware.
03:17Yeah, and that was last.
03:19And he threw the chalk on the board.
03:21Well, it seems that nowadays, in order to be the successful teacher, you not only have to be able to teach, you have to be a comedian.
03:34Well, there he is, mugged and framed. Came out pretty good, huh?
03:43Hey, what a little Jeff sees that. He'll flip.
03:45Be real. Now, who's gonna give it to him? Duke, why don't you give it to him?
03:48Yeah, you give it to him.
03:49No, no, no. I got a better idea. Hang it on the wall in his room.
03:51We'll get to class early and nail it up behind his desk, huh?
03:53Okay, I'll buy that.
03:54I'll buy it, too. Okay, you take it with you and stick it in your locker till 8th period.
03:57Great. Now, look, you guys. Tell everybody who's gonna be in the class to get there before the bell so we can organize a welcome.
04:02Sure. That's right.
04:03Then when Jeff comes, we all wanna stand up and applaud like crazy, okay?
04:06Yeah, I'll rock the place.
04:07Hey, if any of us happen to meet Jeff before class, don't say anything.
04:10Well, that's right. Has anybody seen him yet? Not me.
04:12I haven't. Well, that's great. Then he won't know we all ganged up to get in his class.
04:15Oh, wow.
04:16Gee, I gotta go. I'll see you guys 8th period.
04:17You know, I'll meet you. I'll see you later, bud.
04:188th period.
04:22Wait a minute.
04:27Wait a minute. I can do it. I'll watch.
04:40Hey, wait a minute.
04:44You fellas have been told over and over again not to whirl those things in the halls.
04:48I didn't do it, Mr. Armstead.
04:50You pay no attention. How can I get it across to...
04:53Didn't do it.
04:54That's the truth, Mr. Armstead. On us.
04:57Come into my office.
04:58Mr. Armstead, excuse me.
05:00What is it, Mr. Beckman?
05:02Well, I was a witness to this accident.
05:05Oh?
05:06I was coming around the corner just as the window broke.
05:09What he says is true.
05:11Another boy did it and then pushed the yo-yo into his hand.
05:14He's innocent, really.
05:16Well, perhaps I have been too hasty. I'm sorry.
05:20Well, who did do it? Do you know the boy?
05:23No, sir. I've never seen him before.
05:25Naturally.
05:27Well...
05:29Carry on.
05:32Gee, thanks an awful lot. If you hadn't seen what happened, I'd have been cooked for sure.
05:36Well, I'm glad I could help.
05:38Hey, what was all the commotion about?
05:42Some kid put this through the glass in Mr. Armstead's window and he thought I did it.
05:46Boy, it was a close one.
05:47Well, that's the eighth period. Don't forget. Be there early.
05:49Yeah, it's gonna be good to see old Jeff again, isn't it?
05:51Sure is. That's it. See ya.
05:52Get out of the way!
05:53Get out of the way!
05:54You must be the place!
05:55Hey, Duke! Duke!
05:56Hey, look at this!
05:57Hey, that's great, man!
05:58Hey, that looks good!
05:59Yeah, yeah, that's good.
06:02Here, write, Jeffy, for president and stuff like that all around the board.
06:05Hey, how about that?
06:07Hey, where's Jeff? Anybody seen him?
06:08No, but he'll be here any minute.
06:10Hey, it looks pretty good, huh?
06:11Yeah.
06:12It'll knock him over when he comes in. He'll fall down laughing.
06:14Hey, that's looking great.
06:15Hey, here's old Bud.
06:16Hi, Bud.
06:17Hey, we got the whole gang together now.
06:19The old Jeffrey gang.
06:20Jeffrey's Fat, Dumb and Happy Club.
06:23Okay, okay, okay, everybody. Let's sit down.
06:25Everybody get in a seat.
06:26Look real square when Jeff comes in.
06:29Remember when he comes in.
06:31Everybody stand up and applaud, okay?
06:33As soon as he comes in the door.
06:56Evidently, you were expecting Mr. Jeffrey.
07:08I understand he's changed his plans about teaching this year.
07:12So, for better or for worse, I'm taking his place.
07:17I'm Mr. Beckman.
07:19Obviously, Mr. Jeffrey had a number of friends in this class.
07:30I'm sure he would have been pleased in the news with all of this.
07:35But I'm afraid that we're going to have to dispense with this for right now.
07:44Since this is my first teaching assignment at Springfield High, I'm as much of a stranger to you as all of you are strangers to me.
08:09There's only one person I recall having seen before, and that's this gentleman in the second row.
08:16So that we can become acquainted, we'll start with the first seat in the first row.
08:30We'll each student without rising, give his or her name, please.
08:38Everybody give a phony name, pass the word back.
08:41When he calls you, we'll give him a phony name.
08:43Give him a phony name.
08:47Okay.
08:49We'll begin right here.
08:51Your name, please.
08:53Homer Clankenfelder.
08:55Clankenfelder?
08:57Your name?
09:02Rudolph T. Calabash.
09:07Your name?
09:08Kermit Bottleford.
09:11Kermit's bottle for it.
09:30Bud Ender, Fogle.
09:41Bud Ender, Fogle.
10:11Bud Ender, Fogle.
10:13Bud Ender, Fogle.
10:15Bud Ender, Fogle.
10:17Bud Ender, Fogle.
10:19Bud Ender, Fogle.
10:21Bud Ender, Fogle.
10:23Bud Ender, Fogle.
10:25Bud Ender, Fogle.
10:27Bud Ender, Fogle.
10:29Bud Ender, Fogle.
10:31Bud Ender, Fogle.
10:33Bud Ender, Fogle.
10:35Bud Ender, Fogle.
10:37Bud Ender, Fogle.
10:39Bud Ender, Fogle.
10:42We'll have a meeting tonight. Us three. Plan it all out.
10:45Hey, and for that, where'll we make it?
10:47No, we'll come to your house. See you tonight.
11:09You seem to be having trouble with this.
11:11Yeah, thanks a lot.
11:19I gather I'm not too well liked in that eighth-period history class.
11:23It's pretty tough following a teacher like Mr. Jeffrey.
11:29I'm going to need help in that class, bud.
11:31I'm going to need a friend.
11:32I'm going to need help in that class.
11:44I'm going to need help in that class.
11:45Bud!
11:46Yeah?
11:47There are two guys down here to see you.
11:51Tell them to come on up.
11:52Okay.
12:04Oh, no, just what are you going to do?
12:07You want to tag along with Beckman or stick with the guys?
12:11Got any guts?
12:11Any courage?
12:12Just where are you?
12:15Inside, where are you?
12:18Lion or a skunk?
12:20Hey, bud, you in there?
12:22Yeah.
12:23Come on in.
12:24Hi, man.
12:25Hi, buddy.
12:25We've got the plans all worked out.
12:34I'm talking to all the kids in the class.
12:36Everybody's for this.
12:37We all want to get this Beckman bounced out, right?
12:39Right, yeah.
12:41Say, Duke, why don't we give Beckman a chance to...
12:43Give him a chance to what?
12:44Getting good with the principal?
12:45The longer he stays, the tougher it's going to be to get him out.
12:48Why do we have to get him out?
12:50Why?
12:51Why?
12:51Yeah, why?
12:53Because that's why.
12:54We're going to show the school they can't do this to us.
12:57Old Jeff was our friend, wasn't he?
12:58Sure he was.
12:59Okay, then we're not going to let this Beckman take his job.
13:02We're all going to stick together, the whole class.
13:05Beckman didn't take his job.
13:07They hired him.
13:08Just tell me, are you with us or against us?
13:10That's all I want to know.
13:10You sticking by your friends or not?
13:13Well, sure.
13:13Okay, that's all I wanted to know.
13:15Now, tomorrow afternoon, in Beckman's class,
13:19we're just going to sit.
13:21You understand?
13:22We don't answer any questions about anything.
13:24You know what's going to happen to Mr. Beckman?
13:29Threw out.
13:30Yeah, let him try and fight the whole class.
13:32Just let him try it.
13:33We're going to beat him if none of us chickens out.
13:37Good night.
13:38Good night.
13:41Who are those two?
13:42Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?
13:45Omar and Cayenne?
13:47Dunder and Bitson?
13:48I've never seen them before.
13:49Friends of Bud's from school.
13:51Well, so you finally decided to come down and join the common people.
13:55Where have you been hiding all evening?
13:57Who, me?
13:59What's the matter with you?
14:00Are you sick?
14:01Who, me?
14:02Stop saying, who, me?
14:04Wake up.
14:05We're talking to you.
14:06I can hear you.
14:08Well, how about an explanation?
14:10Is all this gloom because Mr. Jeffrey wasn't at school?
14:14Well, in a way.
14:15I got myself in a big, fat mess.
14:19What do you mean?
14:21What kind of a mess?
14:22Well, it's Mr. Beckman.
14:24He's the new teacher that's taking Jeff's place.
14:26All the guys in the class are sore at him.
14:29Why?
14:30Well, because he's taking Jeff's place, I guess.
14:34Anyway, they're going to have a sit-down strike against him.
14:37And they're going to complain to the principal about him.
14:40They're going to ruin the guy.
14:41Now, that's not fair.
14:43Well, it's not his fault.
14:45He's only doing his job, trying to earn a living.
14:48Wait a minute.
14:48Explain something.
14:49What's this campaign against Beckman have to do with you?
14:52Why are you in trouble?
14:54Well, because I'm not sore at him.
14:56Oh, that's ridiculous.
14:58Why do you have to be mean to him simply because the rest of the class is?
15:01Well, I don't have to.
15:04It's just that, well, whose side am I on?
15:06The guys in the class are my friends.
15:08If I go against him and stick up for Beckman, I'm a dog.
15:11And if I tag along with the guys against Beckman, I'm also a dog.
15:18Pretty doggy situation.
15:20What makes it even worse is that Beckman did me a big favor at school.
15:25He figures I'm the only friend he has in the whole class.
15:28So what do I do?
15:29Well, you stand up for Mr. Beckman.
15:32But I already told Duke and Earl that I was going to stick with the class.
15:35Well, I haven't the answer to this problem, but I'm not worried.
15:39I'm sure you'll come up with a dandy solution.
15:42Well, thanks a million.
15:44So what do I do, Dad?
15:47Well, I can't tell you what to do, bud.
15:50You know what you should do.
15:51Well, then tell me to do it.
15:54Order me.
15:55Say, okay, you do it.
15:57So you can go to the fellas and say,
15:59I'm sorry I have to stand up for the teacher because my dad told me to.
16:03Nothing doing.
16:05Now, whatever you decide, bud, it's going to be your decision, not mine.
16:09I sure wish I didn't have to go to school tomorrow.
16:13Now, that'd be running away from it.
16:14A child might do that.
16:16But I don't think you would.
16:18Not at your age.
16:19It hardly pays a guy to grow up.
16:31Poor old bud.
16:33Caught right in the middle between principle and public opinion.
16:39He doesn't realize it, but a lot of big men, government leaders,
16:42are in the same boat, same problem.
16:45Oh, I don't know.
16:46It seems to me we used to go to school.
16:48Well, then we had to learn and go home.
16:51We didn't get involved with teacher problems.
16:53The teacher was the boss of the class.
16:55If we didn't like it, we got our quack with the ruler.
16:58Well, that was in the olden days.
17:01Mommy!
17:02Daddy!
17:04Hey, you better go in there and see what's wrong with bud.
17:06Why? What's wrong?
17:07I don't know.
17:08There's a terrible noise coming out of this room.
17:10You better go in there.
17:11Oh, Duke, Duke, let me, let go of my arm.
17:16Let go of my leg.
17:18Mr. Beckman, let me go.
17:19Let me, you're, you're pulling me apart.
17:22Let me go, let me go, let me go.
17:24Let me go, let me go.
17:25Come on, let go, let go.
17:26I think you'll settle down now.
17:32You should have heard him before.
17:33He was really howling.
17:36You better go back to bed now.
17:37Oh, what to do.
17:42Tough problem, isn't it, son?
17:44I wonder what he will do.
17:47Well, zero hour is eighth period tomorrow.
17:50I think if he had his way, he'd leave first thing in the morning for outer Mongolia.
18:00Hey, bud.
18:01Oh, hi, Mr. Beckman.
18:03Going to class?
18:05Hmm?
18:05Eighth period history.
18:08Where my enemies stand waiting on the field, their swords of vengeance drawn.
18:12Look, I got some stuff to get, books.
18:16I wouldn't want to hold you up.
18:21Well, I'll see you in class.
18:25Yeah.
18:30Come on.
18:31What'd Beckman want?
18:32Oh, he's on his way to class, wondering if I'd walk down.
18:35He's looking for somebody to hold his hand.
18:37He's going to need more than that when we get done with him today.
18:39I got everybody in the class ready.
18:41Nobody answers anything.
18:42We don't give him nothing.
18:44We'll freeze him right out of school.
18:46Come on, let's go.
18:47Well, I've got to get my sweater.
18:49You guys go on.
18:50Okay, see you there.
18:51Yeah.
18:51Let's go to history.
19:12Come on.
19:13You don't want to be late for the Beckman massacre, do you?
19:15Gee, I don't think I can go, Kip.
19:16I got an awful sore foot.
19:18I think I busted my toe and jammed him.
19:20Broke your toe.
19:21Yeah.
19:22It feels like it's a double fracture.
19:25I'm going to go up to Mr. Armstead's office and get an excuse for eighth period.
19:28I'll see you.
19:29Yeah.
19:29Yeah.
19:29Broken toe can be a painful thing.
19:41Oh, this sure hurts.
19:42Shooting pain's all over.
19:44It's too bad you have to miss your eighth period history class.
19:49Oh, I hate to miss it, too.
19:52Which foot was it, bud?
19:53It's this one here.
19:54Er, er, no.
19:55It's not here.
19:59Sit down, bud.
20:05You know, you could have told me why you didn't want to go to history class.
20:10You didn't have to go through all this broken toe business.
20:13Are you afraid of what might happen at class this afternoon?
20:17Yeah, I guess so.
20:20Well, there's no need to be ashamed.
20:22You're not the only one that's afraid to go to that class.
20:29Mr. Beckman was in to see me a few minutes ago.
20:33Mr. Beckman?
20:34He was ready to give up his job here at Springfield High rather than to face that history class.
20:40How do you think it feels to stand in front of a bunch of kids knowing that you're hated by practically everyone in the room?
20:51I guess that'd be pretty rough.
20:54Very rough.
20:55But Mr. Beckman didn't quit.
20:57He didn't go home with a broken toe.
20:59He went back to the class, which is starting right now.
21:07Do you know why he went back, bud?
21:10Because I convinced him that he had one friend in that class.
21:15You.
21:15I think a big part of the kids is on the fence.
21:23They're not really against Mr. Beckman.
21:26They're following a leader.
21:28Someone started this.
21:30Right?
21:31Oh, yes, sir.
21:33Now the class is against Mr. Beckman.
21:36But the tide could turn.
21:39I think most of the kids won't like him.
21:41But someone has to make the first move.
21:54So.
21:56We begin our study of the Jamestown settlement.
22:00One of the early pioneering efforts in this new land of America.
22:05Let's review some of the basic facts about the Jamestown settlement.
22:13Who was the outstanding leader in the early settlement of Jamestown?
22:21Don't know.
22:22You must know who finally took charge at the first settlement at Jamestown.
22:26His name is practically a household word.
22:29Can you tell me?
22:33Nope.
22:35His name was Captain John Smith.
22:43Surely you all knew that.
22:47What was the purpose of his explorations in the new world?
22:59Can you tell me?
23:02No.
23:03No.
23:05Can anyone tell me the purpose of the English exploration
23:23that resulted in the Jamestown settlement?
23:26The purpose of that exploration was to discover a westward route to the ocean.
23:57And to take possession of lands for England and to find gold.
24:00That is correct.
24:02Tell me, what was the name of the Indian girl who saved Captain Smith's life?
24:05Pocahontas.
24:06Did Captain Smith command the first Jamestown expedition when it left England?
24:09No, the commander's name was Newport.
24:19Now, let's go back to the beginning of yesterday's class and get acquainted.
24:22As I point to you, as I point to you, give me your names.
24:26Laurie Webster.
24:27John Malone.
24:28Anne Tollinson.
24:29Kippy Watkins.
24:31Earl Morrison.
