It's the first day back to school for these 1st graders, and Miss Crabtree is anxious to get started. Not so, with little Breezy. His long-suffering mother wants him to go to school to become president some day, but Breezy wants to become a "streetcar conductor" because, "Boy! Do they get all the nickels!" He visits the local Blacksmith on his way to school, and after yet another conversation about the importance of an education, he decides to get himself into enough trouble at school that the teacher will expel him. Eventually, his strategy works: tacks on the childrens's chairs, gluing the teachers books together, a car horn in the wastebucket that he controls from the back of the class - even bringing a donkey into the classroom! However, Miss Crabtree is onto this 40 year-old in a 1st grader's body, and gives him what he wants, knowing full well that after a day with nothing to do without his friends, that he will come begging her to to let him back to class.
What does breezy want to become?
