"My Fluffy Hair"

"**Louis Gets Some Class**" is the first half of the thirteenth episode of the first season of *Wayside*.

## Synopsis

Louis is put into Mrs. Jewls's class when Myron finds a file that states he never graduated.

## Plot

The episode opens with Mr. Kidswatter relaxing in his office while Myron does all of his work for him to obtain extra credit.

As Myron examines old school files of past students, it is discovered that Louis did not pass his final exam and thus did not graduate, forcing Mr. Kidswatter to fire him from his job as playground supervisor.

Soon after Louis joins Mrs. Jewls and quickly becomes one of the most popular students in the class. Jealous of his popularity, Myron goes into Mr. Kidswatter's office and asks to fill in as Louis' replacement for playground supervisor.

Myron's attempts at gaining popularity through his position as playground supervisor fails, as none of his fellow classmates wish to participate in his self idolizing activities. He then asks Mr. Kidswatter to give Louis his final exam immediately so Louis can graduate sooner and Myron can, in his own mind, "go back to being the most popular student in class." As Mr. Kidswatter leaves to give Louis his exam, Myron notices that there is another student file for Louis.

As Louis prepares to take his final exam, his old teacher Mr. Osteo, his original teacher whose class he failed, is brought in and has set up an obstacle course for Louis to run as part of his final exam in "Survival." Louis performs exceptionally on his exam, but fails it when he runs out of time, meaning Louis now has to remain in Mrs. Jewls for an entire year until he passes his next exam.

Myron then arrives and reveals that Louis *had* passed his final exam and had confused Mr. Kidswatter's student file for Louis'. Louis is then given back his job as playground supervisor while Mr. Kidswatter attempts, and fails, to pass the final exam set in place for Louis.

The episode ends with Mr. Kidswatter running away in terror from Mr. Osteo dressed as a shark.

## Trivia

* The plot of this episode may reference Mrs. Drazil's arc in *Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger*, with similar plot points including Louis briefly taking a seat in Mrs. Jewls's class, recess becoming less fun, and Louis having a run-down with one of his old teachers, in this case being Mr. Osteo.
* This episode reveals that Mr. Kidswatter has never graduated.
* The image of Louis on the title card is a reference to Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man.
* Myron's reaction when he finds that Louis is more popular than him at recess is the same reaction he has when he loses the dodgeball game in *Wayside: The Movie*.
* It's quite ironic at how Todd is surprised that Myron would mistake Louis for Mr. Kidswatter since the latter had a mustache, as Louis in the books is *known* for having a mustache.
