If Boston wins the bov S bake her a cake, but if Boston loses, Miss Ryan bakes them a cake. We think it would be better for her if she lost the bet unless she wants indigestion. We wonder if a certain teacher in the school is still looking for the poster paint that Fritz poured freely down the drain?
