Because They're Young (1960)

Wendell Holmes: Principal Donlan

Quotes 

• Principal Donlan : I'm not going back on my decision to take you on, Hendry. I just want to make it clear on how we operate. Harrison is a superior school. It always has been.

  Neil Hendry : I know its ratings, sir.

  Principal Donlan : And I am fighting to keep it that way and it isn't easy. Some of our transfer students are coming from schools that are practically vestibules of a juvenile detention home.

  Neil Hendry : It seems to me that to me those are the ones you can help the most.

  Principal Donlan : 99 percent of our student body is decent and hard-working. It's my job to protect them.

  Neil Hendry : What about the other one percent?

  Principal Donlan : They're troublemakers. I don't waste much time in getting rid of them.

  Neil Hendry : You just bounce them back to the vestibules.
