Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here is our Miss Brooks, Darring Eve Arden. Last Friday
was Student Government's Day, a day upon which the entire
administration of the city is handed over to high school
pupils who have been elected by their classmates. Well, ordinarily, our.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Miss Brooks, who teaches English at Madison High School, would.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Have very little to do with this event.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
But unfortunately Miss Johnson, the Civics teacher, took ill on Thursday,
and our principal, mister Complin, suggested that I take over
her class.
Speaker 5 (00:36):
Of course, I.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Didn't have to accept the assignment. I just figured that
teaching is better than being totally unemployed.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
In some states, It's better.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
At any rate. I conducted Miss Johnson's Civics class on Thursday,
and on the subject what would I do if I
held public office?
Speaker 6 (00:55):
The class and I had quite.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
A spirited discussion, and in view of later development, I'm
I didn't listen. But Friday morning finally rolled around and
the entire student body and faculty gathered in the Assembly
Hall to hear mister Conklin officially proclaim it Students Government Day.
Mister Boyton, my bashful biologist, were sitting in the front
row and accidentally with the aid of two bloodhounds. I
(01:19):
found myself sitting right next to him.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Oh hello, miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Why mister Boyton, this is a surprise to you anyway.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I didn't see you sit down. I believe I left
my notebook on that seat. It's just some lecture notes
on the North American porcupine.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
Oh sorry, mister Bournon.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
I didn't even notice it. He must have pulled in
his quills.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Here you are.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I'll just hold it to my lap.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Why don't we.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Let the notebook have the seat and you could hold No?
Not in school like that?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
It always Brooks. Something just occurred to me. We're always
sitting next to each other in assembly. Fate seems to
be throwing us together.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
Compared to them. Am I throwing Fate is a sandlot
picture forget?
Speaker 4 (02:04):
You're right, mister Barton. Maybe we should give Fate a
helping hand. I'm free for lunch today, how about you?
Speaker 5 (02:11):
Or would you rather ask me?
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Or am I being too subtle?
Speaker 5 (02:16):
I've darn that bell.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
I'll have to get him in the next round.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Students, faculty members, and honored guests. First of all, as
your principal, I would like to announce that because this
is Student Government Day school will be suspended.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
Please please, please.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
I sympathize with your disappointment. You know, Student Government Day
has been tried successfully in many other communities, and I
have always been ready to experiment in any progressive plan
to foster good citizenship. That is why you see before
you on this platform, are honored guest Mayor Remsen.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
How Marenson would you care to say?
Speaker 4 (03:02):
If you would, of course not, he only brought us
nine pages along to put his gun in.
Speaker 7 (03:08):
Thank you, mister Conkline, for your generous introduction.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
As I look out.
Speaker 5 (03:16):

Speaker 4 (03:25):

Speaker 5 (03:26):
I'm getting a little tea stick myself. And as I
think of.
Speaker 7 (03:31):
The glorious future which this community to look forward to
as the hands of these youths, I am deeply touched.
I have always been well informed on the affairs of
young people.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
He has today, He's kissed so many babies you can't
see his tie for the problem.
Speaker 7 (03:51):
And so it is with considerable pride that I now
inaugurate for the first time in this community Student Government Day.
There are without further ado, it is my pleasure to
introduce to you. You're jolly elected may I, Miss Harriet comfort.
Speaker 3 (04:10):

my term of office a clean and honest administration will
not we will not tolerate graft and corruption.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
We thank you, Harriet. Conference.
Speaker 8 (04:38):
As Miss brook said in our civic class yesterday, the
racketeers must go, no matter what politician is protecting them.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Oh that this Brook.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Certainly is a card.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
That will be all Harriet.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Did you really say that in Civics class?
Speaker 5 (04:55):
I don't know. I wasn't listening.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Allow me to apologie for my daughter's enthusiasm, as she
was obviously referring to the aims of city governments in general,
without realizing that those aims have already been attained in
our community.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Of course, it's my extreme bag.
Speaker 7 (05:17):
Come, we introduce the student who has been elected your
Chief of Police, Walter Denton.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Thank you, Thank you friends.
Speaker 9 (05:28):
As your incumbent police chief, I cannot re emphasize too
forcefully the remarks Miss Brooks made in Civics.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Class yesterday to win every.
Speaker 9 (05:39):
Crooked and graft who has been moulting the city treasury
of funds has gotten.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Thank you, Chief of Police, Waller Dent.
Speaker 9 (05:51):
I haven't finished my speech.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Oh yes you have, mister.
Speaker 9 (05:56):
Has Miss Brooks said just yesterday.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
This is not a symposium on them of miss Brooks,
or maybe it is Miss Brooks you here.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
No, I couldn't make it today.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Oh they are before we go any further.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Isn't there something you'd like to say?
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Yes, sir, is there a doctor in the house.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
You sent?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yes, Miss Brooks, I did in spite of my abject apologies.
Mayor Remsen left here in a very ugly mood, and
Miss Brooks, just what happened in civic class yesterday?
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Well, we had an open discussion and somebody opened it
wider than I realized. But we only discussed corrupt city
administrations in general, mister Consin. We made no specific mention
of Mayor Remsen's corrupt administration.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Never, never mind what you mean.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Thanks to you, we've got a band of young malcontents
on our hands. Not five minutes ago, a student delegation
was in here demanding a three days school week.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
And that's not all.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
They also informed me that they would like a four
hour day, starting from the moment they leave home till
the moment they arrived back there.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Hawfu aparkl didn't you know they'll be one in time
and a half for leaving the room.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Don't telling how far this thing can go. They've got
the whip hand. They're in public office today, Student government Day. Indeed,
Webber thought up that crack brained idea or to have
his head exammin bend over, mister conference, it was your idea.
Oh well, don't change the subject.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
There's no telling.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I was saying, there's no telling what that student reborm
party is capable of doing. Chris brook sits up to
you to see that they stay out of mischief.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
But mister Complin, you said this was a holiday, and
I've got a very important lunch date to make.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Well.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I'm sorry, Miss Brooks, you've got the chaperone those students.
But mister Conk, I said, Paul up on the level.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Aye, Aye, sir, fine, way to spend a holiday chaper
running a bunch. What am I running about? I'm halfway
down the hall, that's funny. I stopped right outside mister
Boynton's biology lad Well, I might as well go in
now that I'm here.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Oh hello, Miss Brooks, say, I hope mister Conklin wasn't
too severe with.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
You, not at all.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Mister Boynton, how are you at setting bones?
Speaker 5 (08:40):
And speaking of.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Lunch which you weren't the date we almost had but
didn't quite because you didn't get around to asking me,
and which I was going to talk you into, but
which I would have had to cancel because mister Conklan
wants me to chaffer on the students who are acting
as government officials today.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Just a Miss Brooks, I can't quite follow.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
You me the mister Boynton. I suppose I'm trying to
apologize for stand you up today.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
You were supposed to have lunch with me today.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
How nice of you to ask me? Can we say
those front steps in fifteen minutes? But I just want
a pot of my nose and fixed up a dad.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
You said something about chaperone, missus.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Oh that's been Wait till after lunch. See you in
a little while, Miss Boydon. I wonder if I'm playing
too hard to get now as I can just avoid
her honor the mayor and Walter densw Waller.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
There's Miss Brooks and Miss Brooks.
Speaker 9 (09:30):
We've been looking for you.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
I've been lurking from you too, Smiths Brooks.
Speaker 8 (09:35):
As mayor of this community, I feel that I have
you to thank for many of my high ideas.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
Me too, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 9 (09:42):
When you stood up in Civics class yesterday with a
kind of glowing luminous light emanating from your skull and
your chalk poise in front of the blackboard, you know who.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
You reminded me of Joan of Arc at the Battle
of the Erasers. Look, kid, I promised mister Conklan and
I chaperone you today.
Speaker 8 (10:00):
But I'm miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
We're really going to clean up this town.
Speaker 9 (10:03):
You have no idea what's going on in this town,
Miss Brooks. If you'll just stick with us, we'll show you.
Speaker 7 (10:08):
Grasp and corruption, infamy and greed.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
I'd rather have mister Boyton show me spaghetti and meatball.
So if you'll just keep quiet about it, I'll meet
mister Boyton for lunch.
Speaker 8 (10:18):
Es. But what about the ideas of decent, honest government.

machines delivered there.

knew we were in the pie wagon.
Speaker 2 (19:15):

Speaker 6 (19:28):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Well?
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Yes, it just happens that I've had quite a bit
of legal training in addition to my biological background, and
I can tell you that you have no legal basis
upon which to hold them any longer.
Speaker 9 (19:38):
Good for you, mister Boyce, I'm telling him, mister b.
Speaker 2 (19:41):

Speaker 4 (19:45):

the swamp.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
If you persist in this belligerent attitude, You're able to
be pounding a beat in a swamp.
Speaker 3 (19:57):

Speaker 4 (20:00):
At last, mister Boyington.

Speaker 12 (20:25):
Everybody in town was there, Connie, and I told them
what you said to me on the phone about student government.
Speaker 9 (20:31):
They didn't run all wrong. Good for you, Missus Davis.
Now maybe we'll get some action.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Where's the brooks Bell hors on your left?
Speaker 12 (20:43):
I also told those parents how you said that if
you had been running student government ban, said mister Conkringe.
They wouldn't have been so much dunder headed.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Bumbling o bumbling.
Speaker 12 (20:54):
Oh hello, good, we were just talking about you.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
Anybody want to buy a youth teacher's life?
Speaker 4 (21:01):
We like it.
Speaker 9 (21:02):
How's evening alone?
Speaker 12 (21:03):
Now that mister consonants here, I'm tu there's nothing I
take to worry about.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Miss Brooks? How could you put?
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Why did you have when you all clean?
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Mister Conchlan, remember your blood pressure?
Speaker 5 (21:14):

Speaker 6 (21:14):
Miss Brooks pulled down?
Speaker 5 (21:15):
You don't blame her and you Harriet in prison?
Speaker 3 (21:19):

Speaker 5 (21:23):
You've got his blood, Harriet, You better watch your pressure.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Too, Linen, Miss Brooks, my painful duty to inform you
that you are under suspension for conduct unbecoming a teacher.
Speaker 3 (21:36):

Speaker 4 (21:38):
Yes, your honor, I'd like a new trial on what ground,
on the grounds that I'm not doing so well in

Meanwhile, you children remain here in mister Boynton's judge until I.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
Well, we'll see all about this. I'm going straight to
Mayor Rimson's obs. I'll handle this matter personally.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
But what do I do in the meantime with a.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Little luck for the day.
Speaker 9 (22:23):
Well, you've done a lot for me, HJ.
Speaker 7 (22:25):
But I can't understand why we're dumping the slot machine
deal because.
Speaker 10 (22:29):
It's too hot, Mayor. Besides, our cut ain't big enough. Also,
the people are up an.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Arm the people.
Speaker 5 (22:34):

Speaker 10 (22:36):
I'm surprised at you.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
HJ?
Speaker 10 (22:39):
Honest Jim, one of the people's friend. Then, and we

they'll start thinking for themselves.
Speaker 9 (22:47):
Some men, Where are we?
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (22:50):
Okay, I'll have the jackplus company get rid of those
machines right away.
Speaker 9 (22:54):
No, I've got a better idea, Ed.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
You're gonna meet.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Yourself a hero with every parent in this community.
Speaker 10 (22:59):
You're gonna let the kids do this job, the kids
who were elected to public.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Office for this one day.
Speaker 7 (23:04):
Wonderful, wonderful, I'll call all my department head and I
tell them the students holding office, that I have complete authority.
Speaker 10 (23:11):
Fine, and it's democracy in action, that's what, Yes, democracy
in action.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
And Mayor Remsen is solidly.
Speaker 7 (23:20):
Vind it until after election.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Which one of you is Mayor Harriet Connachlin, I am
step out please? Now?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Which one of you is Chief of Police Denton?
Speaker 5 (23:42):
Oh, it's me mine out. I've had orders to release the.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Both of you. But what about miss Brooks and myself?
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Sorry, my orders didn't say anything about.
Speaker 9 (23:50):
You, tool, but I insist that you release them immediately.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Quiet Walter orders our orders, and.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Now once again, here is our Miss brook Well.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
In spite of everything, Walter and Harriet got us out
of jail promptly. And that wasn't the only thing Student
Government Day accomplished. The racketeers left town almost immediately. In fact,
the very next day, Walter took me out to the
Jackpot warehouse for a last.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Look at the place.
Speaker 9 (24:35):
Pretty deserted, now, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Yes it is, Walter.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
Let's go in and see if they've cleaned.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
Out the slot machine.
Speaker 9 (24:41):
I'm gonna look around in blackness, brook.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Scar ahead, Walter, Hey, here's one of those nickel machines.
What a racket, naturally, two lemons and a nanchoby. If
I've said once, I've said it a thousand times.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
Climb does not Pay.
Speaker 11 (25:28):
Or Miss Brooks, starring Eve Vardon, was produced and directed
by Larry Burns, written by Arthur Alsberg and al Lewis,
with the music of Blud Bluskin. Mister Conklin was played
by Gail Gorton. This program came to you from the
Frankfort Studios of the American Forces Network Europe and was
prepared for rebroadcast over this network by specialist Ed Barron
Speaker 9 (26:01):
No
Here is our Miss Brooks, Darring Eve Arden. Last Friday
was Student Government's Day, a day upon which the entire
administration of the city is handed over to high school
pupils who have been elected by their classmates. Well, ordinarily, our.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Miss Brooks, who teaches English at Madison High School, would.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Have very little to do with this event.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
But unfortunately Miss Johnson, the Civics teacher, took ill on Thursday,
and our principal, mister Complin, suggested that I take over
her class.
Speaker 5 (00:36):
Of course, I.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Didn't have to accept the assignment. I just figured that
teaching is better than being totally unemployed.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
In some states, It's better.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
At any rate. I conducted Miss Johnson's Civics class on Thursday,
and on the subject what would I do if I
held public office?
Speaker 6 (00:55):
The class and I had quite.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
A spirited discussion, and in view of later development, I'm
I didn't listen. But Friday morning finally rolled around and
the entire student body and faculty gathered in the Assembly
Hall to hear mister Conklin officially proclaim it Students Government Day.
Mister Boyton, my bashful biologist, were sitting in the front
row and accidentally with the aid of two bloodhounds. I
(01:19):
found myself sitting right next to him.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Oh hello, miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Why mister Boyton, this is a surprise to you anyway.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I didn't see you sit down. I believe I left
my notebook on that seat. It's just some lecture notes
on the North American porcupine.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
Oh sorry, mister Bournon.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
I didn't even notice it. He must have pulled in
his quills.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Here you are.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I'll just hold it to my lap.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Why don't we.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Let the notebook have the seat and you could hold No?
Not in school like that?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
It always Brooks. Something just occurred to me. We're always
sitting next to each other in assembly. Fate seems to
be throwing us together.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
Compared to them. Am I throwing Fate is a sandlot
picture forget?
Speaker 4 (02:04):
You're right, mister Barton. Maybe we should give Fate a
helping hand. I'm free for lunch today, how about you?
Speaker 5 (02:11):
Or would you rather ask me?
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Or am I being too subtle?
Speaker 5 (02:16):
I've darn that bell.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
I'll have to get him in the next round.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Students, faculty members, and honored guests. First of all, as
your principal, I would like to announce that because this
is Student Government Day school will be suspended.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
Please please, please.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
I sympathize with your disappointment. You know, Student Government Day
has been tried successfully in many other communities, and I
have always been ready to experiment in any progressive plan
to foster good citizenship. That is why you see before
you on this platform, are honored guest Mayor Remsen.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
How Marenson would you care to say?
Speaker 4 (03:02):
If you would, of course not, he only brought us
nine pages along to put his gun in.
Speaker 7 (03:08):
Thank you, mister Conkline, for your generous introduction.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
As I look out.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Upon this hole.
Speaker 7 (03:19):
Of the young, eager, intelligent faces, but ties of emotion swells.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Up in me.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
I'm getting a little tea stick myself. And as I
think of.
Speaker 7 (03:31):
The glorious future which this community to look forward to
as the hands of these youths, I am deeply touched.
I have always been well informed on the affairs of
young people.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
He has today, He's kissed so many babies you can't
see his tie for the problem.
Speaker 7 (03:51):
And so it is with considerable pride that I now
inaugurate for the first time in this community Student Government Day.
There are without further ado, it is my pleasure to
introduce to you. You're jolly elected may I, Miss Harriet comfort.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
You may applaud now.
Speaker 8 (04:15):
Thank you, my constituents, friends, and Mayor Rinston. I intend
to show this community something new and different by making
my term of office a clean and honest administration will
not we will not tolerate graft and corruption.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
We thank you, Harriet. Conference.
Speaker 8 (04:38):
As Miss brook said in our civic class yesterday, the
racketeers must go, no matter what politician is protecting them.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Oh that this Brook.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Certainly is a card.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
That will be all Harriet.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Did you really say that in Civics class?
Speaker 5 (04:55):
I don't know. I wasn't listening.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Allow me to apologie for my daughter's enthusiasm, as she
was obviously referring to the aims of city governments in general,
without realizing that those aims have already been attained in
our community.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Of course, it's my extreme bag.
Speaker 7 (05:17):
Come, we introduce the student who has been elected your
Chief of Police, Walter Denton.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Thank you, Thank you friends.
Speaker 9 (05:28):
As your incumbent police chief, I cannot re emphasize too
forcefully the remarks Miss Brooks made in Civics.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Class yesterday to win every.
Speaker 9 (05:39):
Crooked and graft who has been moulting the city treasury
of funds has gotten.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Thank you, Chief of Police, Waller Dent.
Speaker 9 (05:51):
I haven't finished my speech.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Oh yes you have, mister.
Speaker 9 (05:56):
Has Miss Brooks said just yesterday.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
This is not a symposium on them of miss Brooks,
or maybe it is Miss Brooks you here.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
No, I couldn't make it today.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Oh they are before we go any further.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Isn't there something you'd like to say?
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Yes, sir, is there a doctor in the house.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
You sent?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yes, Miss Brooks, I did in spite of my abject apologies.
Mayor Remsen left here in a very ugly mood, and
Miss Brooks, just what happened in civic class yesterday?
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Well, we had an open discussion and somebody opened it
wider than I realized. But we only discussed corrupt city
administrations in general, mister Consin. We made no specific mention
of Mayor Remsen's corrupt administration.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Never, never mind what you mean.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Thanks to you, we've got a band of young malcontents
on our hands. Not five minutes ago, a student delegation
was in here demanding a three days school week.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
And that's not all.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
They also informed me that they would like a four
hour day, starting from the moment they leave home till
the moment they arrived back there.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Hawfu aparkl didn't you know they'll be one in time
and a half for leaving the room.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Don't telling how far this thing can go. They've got
the whip hand. They're in public office today, Student government Day. Indeed,
Webber thought up that crack brained idea or to have
his head exammin bend over, mister conference, it was your idea.
Oh well, don't change the subject.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
There's no telling.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I was saying, there's no telling what that student reborm
party is capable of doing. Chris brook sits up to
you to see that they stay out of mischief.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
But mister Complin, you said this was a holiday, and
I've got a very important lunch date to make.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Well.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I'm sorry, Miss Brooks, you've got the chaperone those students.
But mister Conk, I said, Paul up on the level.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Aye, Aye, sir, fine, way to spend a holiday chaper
running a bunch. What am I running about? I'm halfway
down the hall, that's funny. I stopped right outside mister
Boynton's biology lad Well, I might as well go in
now that I'm here.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Oh hello, Miss Brooks, say, I hope mister Conklin wasn't
too severe with.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
You, not at all.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Mister Boynton, how are you at setting bones?
Speaker 5 (08:40):
And speaking of.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Lunch which you weren't the date we almost had but
didn't quite because you didn't get around to asking me,
and which I was going to talk you into, but
which I would have had to cancel because mister Conklan
wants me to chaffer on the students who are acting
as government officials today.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Just a Miss Brooks, I can't quite follow.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
You me the mister Boynton. I suppose I'm trying to
apologize for stand you up today.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
You were supposed to have lunch with me today.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
How nice of you to ask me? Can we say
those front steps in fifteen minutes? But I just want
a pot of my nose and fixed up a dad.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
You said something about chaperone, missus.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Oh that's been Wait till after lunch. See you in
a little while, Miss Boydon. I wonder if I'm playing
too hard to get now as I can just avoid
her honor the mayor and Walter densw Waller.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
There's Miss Brooks and Miss Brooks.
Speaker 9 (09:30):
We've been looking for you.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
I've been lurking from you too, Smiths Brooks.
Speaker 8 (09:35):
As mayor of this community, I feel that I have
you to thank for many of my high ideas.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
Me too, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 9 (09:42):
When you stood up in Civics class yesterday with a
kind of glowing luminous light emanating from your skull and
your chalk poise in front of the blackboard, you know who.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
You reminded me of Joan of Arc at the Battle
of the Erasers. Look, kid, I promised mister Conklan and
I chaperone you today.
Speaker 8 (10:00):
But I'm miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
We're really going to clean up this town.
Speaker 9 (10:03):
You have no idea what's going on in this town,
Miss Brooks. If you'll just stick with us, we'll show you.
Speaker 7 (10:08):
Grasp and corruption, infamy and greed.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
I'd rather have mister Boyton show me spaghetti and meatball.
So if you'll just keep quiet about it, I'll meet
mister Boyton for lunch.
Speaker 8 (10:18):
Es. But what about the ideas of decent, honest government.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
That you had yesterday?
Speaker 9 (10:23):
Yeahn don't you want to be in at the chill?
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Who are we killing?
Speaker 8 (10:27):
I'm afraid we'll have to take an executive.
Speaker 9 (10:29):
Action walder Right, Miss Brooks, I assume you still believe
in obedience to duly elected authority. Of course I do, Walder, then,
as chief of police, I hereby appoint you deputy sheriff

Speaker 9 (11:29):
The Jackpot Amusement Company's warehouse.
Speaker 8 (11:31):
We've been watching the place for weeks, Miss Brooks, in
preparation for the day, and we've seen truckloads of slot
machines delivered there.
Speaker 9 (11:38):
Slop machine, sure, the kind they put in the back
of candy stores where little school kids can spend their
lunch money in a feudal effort to get rich quick.
