Headmistress
Mrs. McLean, or Mrs. M as called by the students, is the headmistress of Constance Billard. She is known as a lesbian to the students and has girlfriend up in Vermont named Vonda. Vermont ( is a state in the New England region of the northeastern United States of America. A dedication to this girlfriend is a tattoo on Mrs. McLean’s thigh reading “Ride Me, Vonda”.
Her job is to put forth the cream on the crop—send the girls off to the best marriages and the best lives— being very good at what she does. Mrs. M has no patience for losers. If she were to catch a girl acting like a loser—persistently calling in sick or doing poorly on the SATs—she will hire shrinks, counselors, and tutors, making sure the student got the personal attention she needed to get good grades, high test scores, and a warm welcome to the college of her choice.
Punishment
Mrs. McLean doesn’t tolerate meanness, since Constance is supposed to be a school free of cliques and prejudice of any sort. The slightest slander of one girl about another is punished with a day in isolation and a seriously difficult essay assignment, which were rarely necessary. Mrs. M is blissfully ignorant of what goes on in the school and certainly can’t hear the whispering around the hallway.
Her favorite saying is 'when you assume you make an ass out of you and me'.
