'The News from Lake Wobegon'

Wednesday was LWHS graduation for 87 students. Carla Krepsbach looked at the HS annual and thought wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone graduates. She feared for Dale Eaker. She immediately telephoned him. The ceremony was at the football field. They sat down in unison as rehearsed by Miss Falconer. She is an elegant and graceful woman. If she dropped dead, the undertaker would only need to dust her off. Dale did not expect to graduate because he flunked Mr. Dentley's math exam. His mind went blank when he saw the test. With a minute to go, he saw the answer to the last problem on Barbara Soderberg's paper. He didn't copy the answer, thinking that this is not that important. He expected to repeat Grade 12. He hoped that to be the first Eaker to appear in "Who's who." Finally, Mr. Dentley told that he had passed and gave him a C. Dale felt awful. He did not want to just sneak by. Everybody went to Martha Hedlund's graduation party. Dale has no future plans for the present.
