Synopsis

Riverdale High students kid about Mr. Weatherbee's limp, and about his being bald and overweight. Archie spots him at an air show, in deep conversation with another older man. That man (Perkins) tells Archie that Wild Waldy Weatherbee was the best helicopter pilot in Vietnam. Among other things, he saved Perkins' life at great risk to his own, being wounded in the process. Archie writes about this in a school essay. Warned by Miss Grundy that the principal is a very private man, students never reveal what they know, but they treat Mr. Weatherbee with deep respect.

Yum! Lunch sure was tasty today!

Genre

humor; teen

Characters

Archie Andrews; Jughead Jones; Ms. Beazly; Chuck Clayton

Synopsis

Ms. Beazly always serves an extra-special cafeteria meal the day before Christmas vacation, and the students worry that since she has no family, she'll be lonely for the holiday. Jughead asks her to join his family for Christmas dinner, and she's touched, but says she will be too busy doing some cooking of her own. It turns out that each year she creates a spectacular Christmas meal at the Riverdale Rescue Mission, where patrons and volunteers honor her deeply.
