Loved that, Jane Withers is great - not a beauty, but attractive because she’s so engaging, kind, clever, creative and fun! I especially enjoyed this film because My Grandma would have been about the same age at the time it was filmed; this reminds Me of Grandmas stories about being-‘pinned’, about marching to music (instead of dancing), and making party dresses from crepe-paper. …Despite the hardships, it was such a young and innocent time to be growing-up! Thank-You for uploading gems like this-one!!
I took care of Jane Withers when I worked at her nursing home, sometimes they would play her old films. It was wild to see her watch her young self as an old woman
Wonderful upload. Thank you so much. It occurred to me that many of the members of the ROTC in this film were likely to have been drafted or enlisted in the armed forces just a year later.
She also had the nicest parents---They were about the only parents in Hollywood who did not siphon off her earnings for their own use. Almost every parent/guardian, despite the Coogan Law, left their child star almost penniless when they turned 21 by making flimsy excuses in order to get money from the child star's trust fund. Jane's father made sure that Jane's money remained Jane's money.
I am currently a Thomas Jefferson student! I even tried out to be a lasso but unfortunately did not make it. But i will definitely try out bext year. I love hearing about the schools history and recently found out about this movie.
What a flashback, this was a great school to attend,a 1970 graduate. Henry B. Gonzales and the Castro brother's are also alumni's. The Atlanta Falcon Tommy Nobis-Texas Longhair Linebacker also a graduate.
Recently saw an old interview with Jane Withers - she was 13yrs old, passing herself as 18, when she signed a 7yr contract with the studio. She was able to carry it off, with the help of her father (who obtained an altered birth certificate). She was a force of nature :)
Jane Wihers was about 14 or 15 when this film was made. She is best known to the younger set as josephine The Plumber in all those Comet C;eanser Commercials. She is with us still at 91 years . She was a rival of the young judy Garland. Also in this picture is Lynne Roberts, a successful "B" actress. She was 18 when the film was made she died in 1979 at 61 years.. She played the freind of Jane and the sister of Joe Brown Jr. who was the Football Star. Joe Brown was the son of Joe E Brown A great Comedic actor.. You can see him in the wonderful movie "Earthworm Tractors". He was born in 1918 and died in 2010 at 92. *****
I'm not at all familiar with Jane Withers. Seeing her today for the first time. But watching her for just the first few minutes made me think of Judy Garland. Another young girl with such a big voice and strong stage presence. Thank you for the interesting information about the actors.
Oldies movies are there that some had became an excellent. On the times, when they become a heroes they all've done it. So this movie that can't lie, and either can't cheat. ❤. Just wished to this oldies movie, a good show, and was perfectly had done. ❤... Bravo!!!!!
Yeah, It's only in recent years that I found out about Ukulele Ike was the voice of Jiminy. The old time entertainers were multitalented: singing, dancing, acting, writing plays and movie scripts and much more. .
I'm currently a Junior at Thomas Jefferson High School. I love hearing the history behind the mustang nation. Love watching how traditions changes. I'm a band member
I was in the back row of the Cornet in '67. Was awesome! Enjoy every minute there and with your friends. My Class is fewer in numbers, but embrace every additional minute together as we support and banter back and forth!
More was expected of them. In fact all professionals of all fields were expected to have decent vocabulary. Now days the college educated are lacking in good grammar and speaking abilities
Reminds me of the skit "High School Madness" by the Firesign Theater in "Don't Crush that Dwarf Hand Me Those Pliers". Glad I stumbled on to this. Moore Science High School...it's. DISAPPEARED.
when both jane and slatts tried to explain the lizard incident.. they were constantly interrupted.. not given a chance to explain.. such interruptions were a common theme in movies.
How late do these students go to school? Jane gats into trouble at a tea scheduled for 4:30 PM; she has Slats helping her out trying to get the lizard and the teacher catches them in the act. After Uncle Henry has Jane answer a question that has Slats saying "That's telling her," Dr. Wallace orders Slats back to class! At 5:00 PM? The Scriptwriter or continuity girl slipped on this scene.
@@belgiumgirl8970 I do enjoy this movie. But anyone with common sense could figure out that there was something wrong with the timing of the scene. I work at a high school and I know I would not be in class after a tea that started after school was out for the day. Besides, it is fun to point out a "goof" in a picture, especially a "B" movie. If this was an "A" movie, unless the film was over budget, the scene would have been reshot. Darryl Zanuck, head of 20th Century Fox, refused to reshoot a finale scene in "Sun Valley Serenade" because Sonia Henie fell in black dye before the scene was completed and the scene was changed to a fadeout to a ski chase scene to finish the picture.
@@belgiumgirl8970 "Don't confuse me with the facts"...Bury your head in the sand...Sounds very Trumpist. Some of us are capable of enjoying a movie, warts and all...Don't hide the truth just because it is an inconvenient truth...I suppose you believe in Santa Claus and Jesus Christ as well?
Jane Withers was prettier at this young age than her niece Bernadette was at a similar age in Bachelor Father . however you can not mistake the similar looks and voice of those two ladies .
Jane Withers and Bernadette Withers were not related. Jane had no brothers or sisters. Bernadette (1946-2019) was also in "The Trouble With Angels" .... (with Hayley Mills).
@@MsPrecious61 it used to be middle class and a few upper middle class. Now there is a lot of Section 8 housing and many students are low- functioning. A lot of kids from broken homes.
Today a few people would find about 100 things politically incorrect wrong with this film. I say, "SCREW YOU ,YOU JERKS." The girls are girls and pretty and the guys are adorable. This must have been a big hit at the Saturday matinee. Everyone loved Jane Withers, just like in this movie.
I loved the film and praised it... but I countered with how America is today and why it might be criticized... which is totally wrong, yet true. You evidently do not realize what is going on. It was a sweet movie and there is no way I am going to know you went to that high school as I am not a mind reader. However, you must have had a wonderful experience in such a modern school at the easing-into-end of the great depression. Texas is one of those great states where so many wonderful people came from. Lucky you.
Yes, Jim, you are so right...political "correctness" is a complete scam that generates the biggest attack ever on our freedom of speech. My mom was in this movie playing a bugle in the Lassos Drum & Bugle Corps, so thank you for saying, "The girls are girls and pretty...", because that is so true, especially in describing my beautiful mother, who is now looking down from Heaven. I wish there was a way to bring back those "good old days", or at least the good old days when I attended Thomas Jefferson, 1966-1969, and also marched with the Lassos. GOOOO MUSTANGS!! LOL!!
Jane played the brat in 1934's Bright Eyes. It was the only time Jane and Shirley appeared together. 20th Century Fox had the only two child stars who were in the Top 10 Box Office draws in the mid 30's.
Nice little "B" film with an enthusiastic cast, they looked like they were having fun making it. Good rendition of "The Chisolm Trail" leading off, Jane Withers sure was talented. But people, stop saying this is a classic! It ain't Casablanca and it ain't It Happened One Night!
The halls smell pretty good to me. Better check your backpack. OK, Class of 1967. Yeah. We had no air conditioning... that may be the odor that touches your nose ....
Jane Withers was one of my favorite actresses back when I was growing up , I never get tired of these old films , they are classics and unforgetable !
im with you on that 💯 ms Linda. these old films are a big comfort and joy in my old age. and Jane Withers is a treasure. God Bless 🧓🥂
RIP Jane Withers 1926-2021, among the last of the 1930's film stars.
Loved that, Jane Withers is great - not a beauty, but attractive because she’s so engaging, kind, clever, creative and fun!

i love Jane Withers, every movie she is a joy! always makes us feel happy and forget our troubles. ❤❤❤❤❤ 🎥🍿🥰🥂
I'm a native of San Antone, and I have been looking for this film for decades! Thanks for sharing this Jane Wither's classic!
I took care of Jane Withers when I worked at her nursing home, sometimes they would play her old films. It was wild to see her watch her young self as an old woman

Simply Put and in no uncertain terms The Whole School is early early early The Breakfast Club. Loved This ❤
Thank you for your generosity in sharing this wonderful funny movie!! I used to love watching her as a young girl in the movies!
Jane Withers was one of the nicest stars in Hollywood. She was everyone's pal... a real trooper.
"Was"? She's still alive you know...
She also had the nicest parents---They were about the only parents in Hollywood who did not siphon off her earnings for their own use. Almost every parent/guardian, despite the Coogan Law, left their child star almost penniless when they turned 21 by making flimsy excuses in order to get money from the child star's trust fund. Jane's father made sure that Jane's money remained Jane's money.
Scott Stacey she looks a lot like Lauren Chaplin.
Cathey Thomas she’s 93 years old.
@@psychedelicpython So what? That's no reason to speak of her in the past tense.
I am currently a Thomas Jefferson student! I even tried out to be a lasso but unfortunately did not make it. But i will definitely try out bext year. I love hearing about the schools history and recently found out about this movie.
thats awesome. hope you enjoyed this old gem of a film. and good luck next year 🧓

@@Derby12hatyep, but i think it was filmed a year prior to release. i could be mistaken. a great film i ❤❤❤❤ Jane Withers. 🎥🍿🧓

Cliff Edwards, once known as “Ukelele Ike”, was the voice of Disney’s Jiminy Cricket.
Nobody knew who he was when he died.
Yeah, It's only in recent years that I found out about Ukulele Ike was the voice of Jiminy. The old time entertainers were multitalented: singing, dancing, acting, writing plays and movie scripts and much more.

RIP Jane Withers...a fine actress :)
tjhs1967 - Thanks for the upload. Through such movies I've begun to appreciate Jane Wither's talent more. 7/2014

I love the way actors spoke back then.

abbsolutely priceless, thank you soo much bears

ADORABLE JANE. ❤❤
agree 💯❤️❤️❤️❤️
thanks for uploading this rare film!
This was a great 🎥 wish I was there those times back to the pass
Brilliantly acted
when both jane and slatts tried to explain the lizard incident.. they were constantly interrupted.. not given a chance to explain.. such interruptions were a common theme in movies.
Really good!
I've watched a bunch of Jane's moves right here on TH-cam. She was a B movie star & her films were mostly filmed at the Fox B lot.
😃 🥰 Thank you 🥰 😃❤👍 Oct . 14 , 2923
So in the history class they never told Jane what was going on they just said you can’t answer then got mad when she did answer.
The GAL WITH THE GLASSES IS Joan LESLIE
:O really!?
Near the end, we saw where Jane got the two ropes from, but where did she get the FOUR handkerchiefs from?!
Never forget what they took from us.
How late do these students go to school? Jane gats into trouble at a tea scheduled for 4:30 PM; she has Slats helping her out trying to get the lizard and the teacher catches them in the act.

@@scottstacey7447 I get your point, really. But for somebody that isn’t in high school, or hasn’t worked at a high school, I just enjoyed the movie.

I was so confused - I thought this movie was made in 1967 - when it appears to be the 1940’s. I give up 🤷🏼♀️
The movie was released in 1940 and was apparently filmed in 1938. You must be confusing it with later "high school" pictures.
Cute 😊

Jim Britt, you are the first to say something rude about this film. This was not a huge success; however, it was filmed at my high school in 1938.
I loved the film and praised it... but I countered with how America is today and why it might be criticized... which is totally wrong, yet true. You evidently do not realize what is going on.

It was a good movie, and I bet it was a great moment for the kids in the school when the filming occurred there.
He bashed potential Natsayers. He loved the film along with the res of us.
Jane Withers did a nice job of gagging both of those ladies near the end of the film
agreed. Packing in such an old movie
Was she is Shirley Temple movies?
Jane played the brat in 1934's Bright Eyes. It was the only time Jane and Shirley appeared together. 20th Century Fox had the only two child stars who were in the Top 10 Box Office draws in the mid 30's.
Heck, they missed the obvious ending! She should have lasood the bad guys!
That is one howdy doody lookin feller.
Cute movie
Nice little "B" film with an enthusiastic cast, they looked like they were having fun making it.
Good rendition of "The Chisolm Trail" leading off, Jane Withers sure was talented.
But people, stop saying this is a classic! It ain't Casablanca and it ain't It Happened One Night!
slats....10:30 in the morning and that boy aint right..his bad hemmett Gabe him drain bramage
15:29
46:00 marching
Was that Penny Singleton playing the air hostess? It sure sounded like Blondie. 😊
Or Jane.
No--Penny was under contract to Columbia and Columbia would not loan her out just to do what was more or less a cameo
Very EA 🟦 of 3
Lmao I go to good ol’ jeff. Not like the old days but you can smell how moldy it is
The halls smell pretty good to me. Better check your backpack.
OK, Class of 1967. Yeah. We had no air conditioning... that may be the odor that touches your nose ....
What a horrible movie!
Then you should’ve turned it off after a couple minutes🤔
