Peppermint Patty is a
pro on the baseball diamond, butin the classroom she's a D-minus all the way. Bold,
brash and tomboyish, what she lacks in common senseshe makes up for in sincerity.
She's the only one whocalls Charlie Brown "Chuck." Oblivious to much thatgoes on
around her, for a long time she seemedunaware that "the funny-looking kid who playsshortstop"
was a beagle. She has trouble staying awakein class; most of her waking hours in
the schoolroomare spent analyzing the probability patterns of true-falsetests.
