i found out pt session-Their gym teacher, Mr. Bell
(Dervis Ward), insists that 'Fats' Buckley (Roger Shepherd) participate in vaulting,
despite his classmates' objections. The vault collapses under Buckley's weight, and
Potter ( href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Chittell">Christopher
Chittell) threatens Bell with the vault's broken leg. Thackeray is called to
defuse the situation. In class, he demands that Potter should apologise for the
incident, pointing out that if a knife or gun was available, things could have been much
worse. Potter only agrees when Denham points out that Bell will press criminal charges
if he doesn't apologise, and that Potter will need Thackeray's recommendation for a job
interview when school ends.
bxing match-In gym, Denham
insists they have a boxing class, beginning with him and Thackeray. Thackeray
reluctantly agrees. Despite getting in some early blows, Denham is disabled when
Thackeray knocks the wind out of him. Thackeray draws back his fist to hit Denham again
but gains control of his emotions and declares the fight over. Afterward, Denham waits
to speak with Thackeray in the stairwell. Although Denham admits he was trying to hurt
Thackeray in order to convince him to resign from teaching, Denham is surprised that
Thackeray did not capitalize on his advantage. For his part, Thackeray admits that he
lost his temper, but that he understands the apparent unfairness of some of his
decisions. Thackary then offers Denham a position as a boxing instructor to the younger
students next term. Surprised that he would be regarded as a potential teacher, Denham
nevertheless promises to consider it. Denham is clearly impressed, and expresses his
admiration for Thackeray to his fellow students. By winning Denham over, Thackeray wins
back the respect of the rest of the class, too. He is invited to the class dance, and
when he shows up at the Seales funeral, is greeted by the entire class, who have come to
pay their respects.
