Eorcing my way Through The shouTing mob was a dfTTiculT Task, buT having done so I was noTiced by Mrs. McCauley, who asserTed herselT and shooed her TormenTors away. Easing myself inTo a chair beside her desk and mopping my brow, I remarked, lil see The sevenTh graders are guiTe lively Today. Shh, Mrs. McCauley glanced TurTively abouT The room. Don'T ever call Them The sevenTh graders. Theyire The McCauley Rangers now. 'The McCauley Rangers? 'Yes, The members oT The class organied a club lasT Tall, which was named The McCauley Rangers.
