"Rick Dadier wasn't looking to be a hero, when he got his first teaching job at North Manual Trade High School. Admittedly the kids would probably be tough. That was likely to be true in any city vocational school. But Rick had a couple of years in the Navy under his belt, and he didn't think any school disciplinary problems were going to throw him."
