Eb's first career choices are brain "sturgeon," football star, dictator, Read Admiral and Greek Millionaire.
Eb enrolls in Clarkwell Correspondence School. Its alumni include Sam Drucker and Hank Kimball.
This is the third of five appearances Judith McConnell makes in the series, each time appearing as Darlene Wheeler, Eb's girlfriend.
Darlene's complaint about Eb involves the song "On the Good Ship Lollipop," which was famously sung in the movie Bright Eyes (1934) by child actress Shirley Temple.
