(The students rush into their classes. For Cathy, she has history. She struggles to find a seat until she spots Rosie and Casey. She sits next to them. Piper, Things 1, 2 and 3, Martin, and his teammates sit down. Mr. Williamson enters.)

Mr. Williamson: Good morning, class. I am so excited to be your history teacher. I have a great feeling the seniors this year will be like no other.

Rosie: I'll say...

Mr. Williamson: Ok. Let's do a little refresher session. Who was the 15th president?

Bea (Thing 2): Walt Disney?

Mr. Williamson (sarcastically): Close enough...

(Casey raises his hand.)

Casey: James Buchanan.

Mr. Williamson: Correct! Ok...23rd President!

Martin: Benjamin Harrison.

(Everyone looks shocked.)

Martin: That's right. This jock has some brains.

Mr. Williamson: I'll be the judge of that. And you're right. So was your answer. Ok. 8th president?

Piper: Abraham Lincoln.

Mr. Williamson: Ooh. So close.

Piper: Whatever. I just know it's not the black guy...

(Cathy raises her hand.)

Cathy: Martin Van Buren.

Mr. Williamson: Correct. Bonus question. And what was he known for?

Cathy: Ummm...he was president during the financial crisis known as The Panic of 1837. His inability to successfully navigate the country throughout the recession is what gave him the nickname Martin Van Ruin.

Mr. Williamson: Correct.

Piper: Look at New Girl. She's smarter than she looks.

Rosie: Sadly, the same can't be same for her.
