          Alfalfa's Roommate: Don't you think you should do a little studying Alfalfa?

          Alfalfa: No. What do I need to study for? Ain't I the best halfback that Hayle ever had?

        "Time Out For Lessons" was a pretty good short, it is okay to have fun, as long as you do not neglect your schoolwork, his friends were pretty furious when they heard that he did not study before the big game. I give this short *******out of**********.
