1951

A look in on the third grade class in a one- room country school, we find Clem Kadiddlehopper getting belted in the head by the kid in the desk behind him, so he dumps water on him, and other distractions. Instead of graduating, Clem gets dropped a grade. The Tide segment had McPugg laying on a rubdown table in his dressing room, talking to his unsympathetic trainer and manager after losing yet another fight. The final segment shows Private Willie Lump Lump ordered by Sergeant Benny Rubin to see the "G.I. Dentist" before he can be discharged. The doctor decides to pull a tooth. After wrestling it out of his mouth, the dentist remarks at the size of it, and Willie asks "Is it a boy or a girl?"
