Centering around the closing days of the school year, this is a view into the life of a one-room schoolhouse. This type of learning institution has long vanished from the landscape being continued in Amish communities and such. We get kid-centric amusement as various skills of music are performed by youngsters who were probably coaxed by parents to take up the instruments used.
Plot
Mickey gets in a fight with another boy over Mary. The parents show up for Commencement Day at school and listen to the kids recite and play their musical instruments. Jackie puts pepper in Joe’s saxophone. Mickey loses his frog. Farina falls in a well. While the parents are out rescuing Farina, the kids get in a food fight. School is dismissed.
