Hi Virginia,
this old nugget got dragged up because Mary is doing Scavenger Hunts this year.
The September one is dealing with school.She just had to suffer through one more year of high school and living at home with alchy mom, and then off to Met U.’s prestigious journalism school. She should be a shoe-in, what with her internship at the Daily Planet starting when she returned to Metropolis, and next fall not only would she be Senior Class President, but as the only member of the Bulletin staff that had been writing articles for three years, she had already been appointed Editor. Not to mention being valedictorian since… well, birth.
To satisfy the "leave actual comments" rule - gee, Mary, just check out those pages and pages of FDK I left a decade ago on this story! I really need to reread the story and the FDK. This is one of the little quick gems Virginia contributed to the boards. It just sparkles with exploding fun!
