It's time once.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Again for another comedy episode of Our Miss Brooks under
the direction of al Lewis.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Well.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
After putting in a good day's work at school, most
teachers are content to spend a RESTful evening at home,
but our Miss Brooks, who teaches English at Madison High School,
is so popular that she's often called upon to share
in the neighborhood's.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
Social life and a day round of activity. It is.
Speaker 6 (00:46):
Take last Thursday evening, for example, the couple who live
next door to Missus Davis and Me invited me over
to their house right after dinner.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
They just wouldn't take no for an answer. Friday morning,
at breakfast, I discussed the events of the past evening
with my landlady.
Speaker 7 (01:01):
It was nice of the Fletchers to ask you over
last night, Connie, did you have a good time?
Speaker 6 (01:05):
It was the maddest social event of the season, Missus Davis.
The Fletchers went to a party and I sat with
their seven year old boy until he got sleepy?
Speaker 7 (01:15):
Wells, did gave you something to do? Dear?
Speaker 5 (01:17):
And Tommy?
Speaker 7 (01:18):
He is a good little boy.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
Good but dull. He's a kind of an in between age.
You know, what do you mean?
Speaker 7 (01:25):
In between?
Speaker 5 (01:25):
He's too tall for nursery rhymes and too short to rumber.
Speaker 7 (01:31):
How did you entertain each other?
Speaker 5 (01:33):
We didn't they have a television set.
Speaker 7 (01:36):
What did you see, Connie?
Speaker 6 (01:38):
Well, I can't say exactly, but when I finally put
on my pajamas and went to bed, I felt naked
without spurs.
Speaker 7 (01:48):
Of course, I said, Did I get a big kick
out of them myself?
Speaker 5 (01:51):
You missus Davis? Yes, indeed.
Speaker 7 (01:54):
When I was a schoolgirl, we lived in Texas and
I did a lot of riding.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Really from our house.
Speaker 7 (02:00):
I had to take two trolleys and a bus to
get to school. But tell me about Tommy. Did you
have any trouble getting into bed?
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Well? A little at the beginning, but fortunately I found
a book by doctor.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
Gregory Nson, the famous child psychologist. I just applied his method,
and Tommy was in bed five minutes later. What method
did doctor Inton rick A mean pulling the plug on
the television set?
Speaker 8 (02:24):
You know?
Speaker 5 (02:25):
I was pretty relieved when his folks got home. Though
Tommy didn't look too well last night, but was wrong.
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
His eyes were kind of red and he seemed a
little warm. Could be a cold coming on.
Speaker 7 (02:35):
He probably was run down. Colds are all a never resistance.
That's why I like you to eat a good breakfast
every morning. Now here, eat this cereal. I crushed some
fruit in with your popsies this morning.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
Oh no, wonder these popsies were so peaceful today. Usually
they crackle, bark and snap at me. What kind of
fruit did you put in?
Speaker 7 (02:57):
Two kinds? I just can't see to remember what they.
Speaker 6 (03:01):
Were, though, missus Davis, you are the most absent minded
person I've ever met.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
But I don't know. There must be somebody worse than
I am.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
Oh, of course there is. I was just exaggerating. I
wouldn't hurt your feelings for the world.
Speaker 7 (03:15):
You know that, of course I do, Connie, hurt my
feelings about.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
Fuss about anything as trivial as some fruit.
Speaker 8 (03:26):
Fruit.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
There are two kinds in my cereal this morning.
Speaker 7 (03:31):
That's the best week to eat it. But you better
hurry if you want to be riddy. When Walter Dnton
comes to dude you to school?
Speaker 6 (03:40):
Oh, Walter isn't picking me up this morning. He's got
an errand to do for his father. But I've got
time to catch the eight fifteen bus.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
I don't know about bed Connie, What do you mean
My watch says five minutes of eight.
Speaker 7 (03:49):
Your watch is sibbings. It's eight twenty right now.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Oh, then I'll be late. Mister Conklin will kill me.
I've got around this minute.
Speaker 7 (03:57):
Good guide you if I shouldn't my seeing burt because
you put fruit in the cereal?
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Why about miss Brooks.
Speaker 7 (04:15):
I'll go in with you.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Oh why are you coming to school?
Speaker 5 (04:19):
Kolad?
Speaker 7 (04:19):
Well, I might ask you the same question.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Well don't.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
Besides, I've got a good excuse. I can blame it
all on the eight fifteen bus.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
What happened to us? It was on time. They'll do
that every now and then. But I'm afraid you won't
be able to kid old marblehead out of I mean,
mister Conklin's a bug on punctuality.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
I hope he doesn't catch you.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Fetch me. What about you? You're just as late as
I am over two minutes. I know I had a flat. Well,
let's get going, miss Brooks. We might as well march
to the guillotine together. Fine, we couldn't ask for a
nicer day for a double Heather. Now, just be as
quiet as pop.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
So well, after we get up the stets, let's go.
Speaker 9 (05:04):
In, miss Brooks.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
Now, if we can just sneak past mister Conston's office
up here, it is, let's tippy toe right.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
I'm sure I'm scared to death. Oh, relaxed, Walter. We're
only a couple of minutes later. That could happen to anybody.
Speaker 7 (05:19):
You certainly are calm, and we're kind of danger Miss Brooks.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
It's the only way to be Walder. There's no sense
in getting panicked. What if mister Conklin comes out of
this office.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
If mister Conklin comes out, I'll merely smile and say
good morning, mister Conklin.
Speaker 9 (05:33):
Well my, what an enthusiastic greeting.
Speaker 10 (05:47):
But may I remind you, Miss Brooks, that this school
is in session, and what's more, it has been for
some time. However, I'll deal with you first, and then
you have exactly ten seconds to present your reason for
this tardiness.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Walter.
Speaker 9 (06:01):
It's timed up.
Speaker 10 (06:08):
Now that you've had a fair trial, I'll meet out
your punishment. You, sir, will report to the Athletic Athletic
Field after school today, and you will bring with you
a long plank and a pen knife.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
What are they for?
Speaker 10 (06:21):
You're going to fill the high jump pit with shavings?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
The hard way.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Dismissed.
Speaker 10 (06:32):
I've got your class at once, yes, mister Brooks, and
now it's your turn.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
My pen knife's all rusty, mister Carlin, I should be
in my classroom.
Speaker 10 (06:45):
I've appointed my daughter Harriet as monitor of your class,
so there's time for your punishment, Miss Brooks. By a
rare coincidence, I've written in Longhand a ten page speech
entitled the Early Bird. You will type it up neatly
in triplicate and have it on my desk by noon today.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
You want me to tie ten pages in triplicate.
Speaker 10 (07:06):
I don't chew my cabbage twice.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
With me either. If it's put enough once, it's usually plenty.
Speaker 9 (07:16):
Pay attention, miss Brooks.
Speaker 10 (07:18):
At twelve thirty today, I am addressing the Goodfellows Monthly Luncheon,
a group of which I have recently been elected best Fellow.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Oh congratulations, mister Conklin.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
Then every fellow who can be elected best fellow with
the good fellows.
Speaker 10 (07:36):
You're so right, and today marks my thirtieth consecutive meeting
without once being tardy or absent. This breaks the former
attendance record of twenty nine consecutive luncheons and makes me
the new champion.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
I give anything to see you, Crown. I'd like to
be there when you read your speech.
Speaker 10 (07:56):
I'm afraid that's impossible. It's just for good fellows.
Speaker 8 (07:58):
But if you can keep a seat, I will let.
Speaker 10 (08:03):
You in on something. They are presenting me with a
solid gold pocket watch today.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
How do you know, mister Conslon.
Speaker 10 (08:09):
It was suggested at the last meeting, and I'm happy
to say my emotion was almost unanimously cat Now, then,
here are the pages I want to type, Miss Brooks.
I've got to get back into my office.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
Yes, mister Constlin, I'll do the best I can.
Speaker 9 (08:23):
Remember, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 10 (08:23):
By noon sharp, those papers must be on my desk,
and let this be a lesson to you.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Good morning, it's a dandy.
Speaker 8 (08:33):
Oh hello, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
Hello, mister Brander.
Speaker 11 (08:36):
I just stepped out of the lab to get some
things in the supply room. Did you just step out
of your.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
Class no, I haven't stepped in yet. I'm a little
late today and mister Conklin just caught me arriving.
Speaker 8 (08:45):
What did he say?
Speaker 5 (08:46):
Quite a bit, but boiled down to an hour.
Speaker 6 (08:49):
It adds up to my having to type a ten
page speech for him in triplicate.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
He's got to read it at his club meeting today.
Speaker 8 (08:55):
That isn't fair.
Speaker 11 (08:56):
I don't approve of disciplinary measures that relieve him of
work that's right fully his.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
I agree that it's a great imposition, but there's nothing
I can do about it.
Speaker 8 (09:04):
It certainly is an imposition. Thank goodness.
Speaker 11 (09:06):
I've got some biology papers that have to be typed
by tomorrow morning, and I'm a poor typist. I wouldn't
think of asking anyone to do it for me.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Huh.
Speaker 11 (09:15):
It wouldn't be fair for me to expect another teacher
to stay after school.
Speaker 8 (09:19):
And work with me on my notes in the biology lab.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
Of course it would. In fact, it would be an
imposition for you not to expect someone to help you.
But you just said, who are you gonna believe what
I just said?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Or me?
Speaker 5 (09:34):
I know of a teacher who'd love to type.
Speaker 8 (09:36):
Those notes for you, but it would mean staying here
quite late.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Uh huh.
Speaker 8 (09:45):
Really, the office in my lab is terribly small.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
I hear you talking.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (09:52):
Oh, we'd be jammed in there for hours. And the
lighting is pretty bad too.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Yum yum.
Speaker 8 (10:01):
I couldn't ask anybody to put up with that, could.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
I don't hesitate a minute.
Speaker 11 (10:06):
Do you really mean it, miss Brooks? Do you honestly
think I should ask someone to help ask?
Speaker 9 (10:13):
I'll do it.
Speaker 8 (10:14):
I'll go ask miss Enright to give me a hand.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Oh, miss Enwright can't possibly do any typing. She's letting
her fingernails grow. It's for a part in a dramatic
club sketch. She's playing the role of Fu Manchu's mother.
Speaker 11 (10:30):
I'll say I don't like to mention mis miss Brooks,
but while you were talking, I noticed that your face
seems quite flushed.
Speaker 8 (10:35):
You got several red spots on your neck.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
Don't tell me I'm blushing in polka dot.
Speaker 11 (10:41):
I don't want to alarm you, but I'd like to
take you to the infirmary right now.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Why, mister Bournon, this is the first date you've asked
me for in weed.
Speaker 8 (10:49):
I know I want the nurse to take a look
at you.
Speaker 11 (10:52):
Have you been exposed to anything contagious lately, just mister Conklin.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
Why do you think I've got, mister bournons measles?
Speaker 5 (11:01):
Where could I possibly catch a childish disease like measles?
I haven't been around any kids since last night. Last night.
Speaker 8 (11:09):
Tommy, who's Tommy?
Speaker 6 (11:11):
There's no time for details, but he's the author of
Hop Along Brooks Hops to the Infirmaray.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Staring Ye Varden will continue in just a moment, but
first here is Verne Smith.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Reader's Digest reports the results of one of the most
extensive experiments in Jennifer's history. Yes, Reader's Digest reports the
very same research which proves brushing teeth.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Right after eating with coldgate bental creams stops tooth decay best.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
And here are additional important facts.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Over a two year period, the cold gateway stops more
decay for more people than ever before reported in Deennifer's history. Yes,
the cold gateway of brushing teeth right after eating stop
tooth decay best, better than any other home method of
oral hygiene.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Even more important, there were no new cavities whatever for
more than one out of three who used coal gates
as directed. No other datifice ammoniated or not has proof
of such results, the best results ever reported for a
datifrae of any type.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
And you should know that Colgate Daniel Cream, while not
mentioned by name, was the only toothpaste used.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
In the research reported in July Reader's Digest.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yes, Colgate Daniel Cream and only Colgate Daniel Cream was
used in this research.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
So always use coal gates to clean your breath while
you clean your teeth, and when you follow the coal gateway,
Colgate Dantel cream stops tooth decay.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Bess Well, I didn't relish the idea of standing around
in the hall chatting about measles, so I let mister
Boynton guide me towards the infirmaries. He told me he
had had measles before, so he wasn't afraid of catching
them from me. Judging from his attitude in the past,
(13:03):
he was safe even if he hadn't had them before.
He's never gotten close enough to me to catch a
dangerous glance.
Speaker 11 (13:12):
Here are the armies, Brooks. Let's step into the waiting room.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
The nurse must be inside. Say, isn't that stretched snod
Grass lying down on the couch in the corner.
Speaker 8 (13:22):
Well, yes, he seems to be reading.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Really I didn't know he could.
Speaker 11 (13:27):
He's not much of a student at that, but he's
a fine athlete. Well let's see what's wrong, hi, Stretch,
old boy, what are you doing on that couch?
Speaker 9 (13:35):
I'm lying on her.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
I like an answer like that. It has integrated. Where's
the nurse, Stretch?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
If she's in the back room with an emergency case?
Speaker 8 (13:49):
An emergency case, what's the trouble?
Speaker 10 (13:51):
Well, we were having a little early practice today and
there was an accident.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
The nurse is trying to patch things up temporarily, but
it don't look so good so far.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
She's had to take twelve stitches.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
Oh that's terrible. Who's injured, Stretch or football?
Speaker 8 (14:04):
Don't bust it up.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
But the nurse says she can straighten it up pretty good.
She's had some experience in platchick surgery.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Great science, flatic surgery.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Well, I'm gonna get up now, Nurse Fenton'll be about
done with the ball.
Speaker 11 (14:17):
Or don't get too close to miss Brook Stretch. Is
a chance she has the measles.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Oh that's all right, I can't catch him.
Speaker 9 (14:21):
I had the measles when I were just a.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
Punk, Stretch. I had the measles when I was just
a pound?
Speaker 9 (14:27):
How could you get them again?
Speaker 5 (14:30):
You know I could do without today? Very nicely?
Speaker 12 (14:34):
Here you are stretched, the patient recovered beautifully.
Speaker 10 (14:37):
Hey swell, thanks a lot, Mss Button.
Speaker 9 (14:39):
Well, I gotta be going up. You better take a
look at Miss Brooks. Hope you get better real quipments Brooks.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
Banks stretch, Hello, Miss Brooks, mister Boynton.
Speaker 12 (14:47):
What seems to be the matter?
Speaker 7 (14:48):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (14:49):
I don't think it's anything really, but I don't mean it.
Speaker 8 (14:51):
Miss Brooks.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Look at that face? What's wrong with it?
Speaker 8 (14:56):
Those little but it looks like measles to me?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Nurse?
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Maybe right?
Speaker 12 (15:00):
Mister Boyton, you're a little warm too, aren't you?
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Miss Brooks?
Speaker 12 (15:04):
Just a little well, that could come from any number
of things, like being in such close proximity to mister
Boyton here. But we better take your temperative.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Just to make sure.
Speaker 12 (15:16):
Now put this thermometer under your tongue there.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
How there the farm?
Speaker 12 (15:23):
Now just sit there and be still for a minute. Okay, Well,
mister Boydon, we don't see much of you down here
in the infirmary, do we.
Speaker 9 (15:33):
No.
Speaker 8 (15:34):
I'm pretty healthy, specimen, I guess.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
I'll say you are.
Speaker 12 (15:39):
How do you keep yourself so fit?
Speaker 8 (15:41):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (15:42):
I don't know clean living, I suppose and considerable exercise.
Speaker 8 (15:45):
I played badminton whenever I get the chance.
Speaker 12 (15:47):
Do you really now, isn't that funny? I just adore badminton.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
You do, I've got badminton.
Speaker 11 (15:53):
Pooh, what did you say, Miss Brooks?
Speaker 5 (16:01):
I said, I love badminton too.
Speaker 12 (16:03):
Put that thermometer back in your mouth, please, Miss Brooks. Okay,
perhaps we could play together some evening, mister Boynton.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
Perhaps we could.
Speaker 12 (16:14):
How would Thursday night be fore?
Speaker 8 (16:15):
You's all right?
Speaker 5 (16:20):
I said, Thursday's great for me too, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 12 (16:22):
Will you please keep that thermometer in your mouth.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
I'll pay, I'll hear.
Speaker 12 (16:31):
I'll tell you what, mister Brynton, why don't you come
over to my place for dinner Thursday evening?
Speaker 8 (16:36):
I'm sure I'd enjoyed that very much. About what time?
Speaker 12 (16:38):
Six thirty so so five?
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Boo quiet please.
Speaker 12 (16:45):
I'm sure we'll have a nice time. Mister Gordon, I've
been wanting you to meet.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
My husband, hot dog.
Speaker 12 (16:52):
Watch that thermometer.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Oh, I'm terribly sorry at the word husband that just
flew out of my mouth, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 12 (17:00):
We'd better not take a chance if there is any
contagions the students mustn't be exposed to it. Now go
right home and get into bed bed. I'll see that
the board sends the doctor over. And meanwhile, be sure
to keep your room nice and dark. It's very important
with needles.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
I still don't see how I could catch anything like that.
After all, I'm a semi grown woman.
Speaker 11 (17:25):
Are you absolutely certain that you never had the measles
when you were a child, Miss Brooks?
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Positive? We were very poor.
Speaker 12 (17:39):
Dear miss Brooks, let me flip another pillow behind.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
Thank Harrot. It was nice of you and Walter to
bring me home. Oh, don't give it a fine, Miss Brooks.
In beach staying in school.
Speaker 12 (17:49):
And don't you worry about your condition, Miss Brooks, there's
nothing to it.
Speaker 7 (17:53):
I had needles when I was a kid. Thanks Granny,
I brought you a box of marshmallows. Needs to keep
your company by you.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Indeed, that's nice, missus Davis. We'll chat for hours before
we go.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
Miss Brooks.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
I want you to know that the whole class chips
in to buy you a little present. Oh they shouldn't
have done it, Walter. Wasn't that tweet? Missus Davis.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
Where did they get me in the afternoon papers.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
That's what I've always wanted.
Speaker 7 (18:21):
I'm freed. Miss Brooks won't be doing any reading for
a while. I made sure of that by removing all
the bugs. Oh you, Connie, give you a ninch and
you'll read all days. Harriet, please pull that window shade down.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
All Oh this is clubby gosh, it's so darkened you
you can't see two feet in front of you.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
So what who wants to sit around looking at feed
all day?
Speaker 7 (18:47):
I'll have to ask you children to leave now. I
want Miss Brooks to get some risk. Okay, we have
to get back to school anyway. Hurry up and get well,
Miss brought and buy Miss broad Bye.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Kids, and thanks again for everything.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
He certainly was sought loving to bring the newspapers.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Well it tunny, Yes it was.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
Do you think I could just light a match and
see what Terry and the pirates are doing?
Speaker 7 (19:09):
Absolutely not, Tony, come in. Oh it's mister Byington.
Speaker 8 (19:15):
Hello, missus Davis. Hollo, it's Brookes.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
Hello mister Boyton. Goodbye, Missus Davis.
Speaker 7 (19:23):
I got some things on the store.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
Oh certainly, dear sit down, mister Byn.
Speaker 8 (19:27):
Thank you. I'll close the door first. We don't want
any light to get in. Do we just find a
chair and.
Speaker 11 (19:38):
Here's one. Okay, this is comfortable. Where did you get
this new sponge rubber chair?
Speaker 5 (19:45):
Sponge rubber Mister Boynton, get up?
Speaker 8 (19:47):
What's wrong?
Speaker 5 (19:47):
You're sitting on my marshmallow.
Speaker 11 (19:59):
There's no damaged and they're wrapped in cellophane. Just stop
by to see how you're feeling.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
I feel fine, mister boy.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
Oh good, then I can get right back to school.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
I feel terrible, mister maybe you better take my pulse
how I can't see your wrist.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
Wait, I'll send up a flare.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
Now I'd better not stay too long, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 11 (20:23):
You know how mister Cocklan feels about fraternization between faculty members.
And if he found out that I left school in
the middle of the day to come to see you, we'll.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Relax, mister Boyd. He won't find out in a million years.
Speaker 9 (20:35):
Are you there, Miss brook.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
I'm certainly flies.
Speaker 8 (20:42):
It's mister Cocklan. What should I do?
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Just it perfectly? Still? He may not see you.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
Well, Miss brook close the door behind you, please, mister Conklin.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
I don't want that light shining in my eyes.
Speaker 10 (20:57):
Will now then, Miss Brooks, how do you expect me
to make a speech without my note.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
Oh dear, I brought them home with me, but I
didn't get a chance to tighten them up.
Speaker 10 (21:06):
You can, for Heaven's sake, give me back the papers
I gave you. I have only five minutes to get
to that luncheon.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
Let's see. I put them right on my knight stands.
Here they are. Just reach out, mister counseling.
Speaker 8 (21:16):
All right, hown.
Speaker 10 (21:18):
If I can't find your hands, where's your hand?
Speaker 6 (21:20):
Miss Brooks, try lower down on my arm.
Speaker 9 (21:32):
I've got them. Good day, Miss Brookes. What are you
doing in bed in the.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
Middle of the day, mister Conklin, I have the measles.
Speaker 9 (21:44):
Oh well, I'm sorry to hear that, Miss Brooks. If
there's anything I can do to me, I've never had
them before. I'd better get out of here.
Speaker 8 (21:53):
Oh just a minute, mister Conklin.
Speaker 11 (21:54):
You can't leave now, dare It's affected her voice?
Speaker 8 (22:04):
No excuse me, sir, mister Boynton.
Speaker 11 (22:07):
At the risk of incurring your displeasure, I must request
that you don't leave the premises now.
Speaker 8 (22:11):
I'd better close this door. What's that? But you see, if.
Speaker 11 (22:14):
You've never had the measles before, you might have contracted
them just now.
Speaker 9 (22:17):
You mean miss Brooks might have given me the measle.
Speaker 8 (22:20):
It's entirely possible, mister Conkland.
Speaker 13 (22:22):
She wouldn't my fault, mister mister Boyne's right.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
After all, measles are contagious. You wouldn't want to start
a panic in the streets.
Speaker 10 (22:37):
There's no reason for any panic. The good fellows are
waiting for me with a gold pocket watch. I want
that watch, and I mean to get it now. No
one knows that I've been in this room except the
three of us.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
Ah, I'm glad he doesn't hold my mortgage.
Speaker 11 (22:54):
Look, mister Conkland, just to get a little gold watch.
You wouldn't want your fellow goodfellows to get the measles
from you.
Speaker 9 (23:00):
Boynton. No one has ever gotten anything from me.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
You can again.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
Now, I'm sorry, mister Cocklan.
Speaker 11 (23:08):
In the interests of civic welfare, I can't allow you
to leave this house and expose the community to measles.
Speaker 10 (23:13):
Old man, how would you like a brand new Bunsen
burner for your biology laboratory?
Speaker 5 (23:19):
Careful, mister Boynton. He sounds like he's edging toward the door.
Speaker 10 (23:21):
Yes, sir, nice new Bunsen burner.
Speaker 11 (23:24):
Sorry, mister Cocklan, I advise you not to try to
leave here at all.
Speaker 8 (23:29):
He got away.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
I don't think you'll get very far. He ran into
my closet. Welcome back, mister Conklin.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Have a nice trip, mister brook.
Speaker 10 (23:42):
It may interest you to know that you have just
destroyed my last chance for setting an attendance record at
the good Fellow's luncheons once a month. For three long years,
I have been eating that revolting cream chicken and a
patty shell with just one part in mine, a gold
pocket watch.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Well go feel you badly, mister Conklin.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
You can take another crack at the record in the
coming three years.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
Oh, Connie, your school nurse is here to see you.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
Come right in, missus Fanson.
Speaker 12 (24:07):
Well what's all this, visitors?
Speaker 2 (24:09):
I am no visitor. I'm a prisoner of war.
Speaker 12 (24:12):
Hello, mister Conson. The doctor's out on a case, Miss Brooks.
So he asked me to take another look at you.
Would you lift that shade seed, mister Boynton?
Speaker 8 (24:20):
Well certainly.
Speaker 7 (24:23):
Right, Connie, your face is all cleared up?
Speaker 12 (24:26):
Why, yes, yes, the spots are all gone. It couldn't
possibly have been measles.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
Did you hear that, mister Conklin. We don't have measles
after all.
Speaker 9 (24:34):
Now she tells me when it's ten.
Speaker 8 (24:36):
Minutes past my gold watch.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
Well, if it wasn't measles, what did I have?
Speaker 12 (24:40):
Probably just a little allergy rash? Are you allergic to
any particular food?
Speaker 5 (24:44):
Only strawberries?
Speaker 7 (24:46):
Strawberries? That's what I put in with your popsies this
morning time.
Speaker 12 (24:52):
Then that was it, just a little temporary strawberry rash.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
Did you hear that, mister Conkor All we had was
a little temporary strawberry rash.
Speaker 9 (24:59):
You're very generous.
Speaker 12 (25:01):
I'm glad you came to the infirmary, though, Miss Brooks
an ounce of prevention, you.
Speaker 9 (25:06):
Know, prevention. Why did you tell us she had measles? You?
Missus Anthony you.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
I'm sorry about your missing the luncheon and the gold
forget about it.
Speaker 10 (25:16):
What's done is done. I asked just one paper of
you all. Don't ever mention it again. I don't want
anything to remind me of my loss.
Speaker 7 (25:22):
We understand, how good, and I'm sure we'll all cooperate. Now,
how about staying here for lunch?
Speaker 12 (25:29):
Folks?
Speaker 7 (25:29):
I have enough for everybody.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
That's a wonderful idea. What are we having, missus Davis.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
Cream chicken over Patty's shed?
Speaker 5 (25:41):
For he's a jolly good tale.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
For he's a jolly good tellow For he's a jolly
good tea.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
We should live so long.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
As Arness Brooks returns in just a moment.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
But first, dream Girl, dream Girl, Beautiful, luster Cream Girl, tonight,

look after a luster cream shampoo. Luster Cream World's finest shampoo.
No other shampoo in the world gives you k doom
(26:25):
its magic blend of secret ingredients plus gentle Lanolin better than.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
A soap, better than a liquid. Luster Cream is.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
A dainty cream champoo leads hair three ways lovelier, fragrantly clean,
free of loos dandriff, glistening with sheen, soft, manageable even
in hardest water. Luster Cream lathers instantly, No special rents
needed after a luster cream champoo, so gentle luster cream

Speaker 9 (27:09):
A lost a green shampoo.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
And now once again here is our miss Brooks.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
Well, we all had lunch and we're just finishing our
coffee when missus Sandon put down her cups and leaned
toward mister Conklin.
Speaker 12 (27:23):
Pardon me, mister Conston, but there seems to be several
small blotches on your face.
Speaker 10 (27:27):
And neck blotches. Blot What kind of blotches?
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Big red ones like I had?
Speaker 8 (27:31):
Correction, miss Brooks, like you have. They seem to have
come back.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Come back, Missus Davis, were there any strawberries and that
cream chicken?
Speaker 9 (27:38):
This is absurd.
Speaker 10 (27:39):
I've never been allergic to anything in my life.
Speaker 7 (27:41):
Well, you're never too old to start as good. It
might have been those patty shells.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
I'll get it.
Speaker 9 (27:47):
This thing has me worried.
Speaker 10 (27:48):
Some of my friends have atlergies, but nothing like this
has ever happened to me.
Speaker 8 (27:51):
My wife, Wow, Yes, this is Brooks.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
Why oh I see, well, thanks for calling. Well, we
don't have to worry wry about any allergies.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
Mister Conflict.
Speaker 8 (28:01):
We don't know, sir.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
The lady next door just calls to tell me that
the little boy I sat with last night is in
bed with a bad case of measles.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
That's say to another arms Truckshaw not for you.

the direction of al Lewis.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Well.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
After putting in a good day's work at school, most
teachers are content to spend a RESTful evening at home,
but our Miss Brooks, who teaches English at Madison High School,
is so popular that she's often called upon to share
in the neighborhood's.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
Social life and a day round of activity. It is.
Speaker 6 (00:46):
Take last Thursday evening, for example, the couple who live
next door to Missus Davis and Me invited me over
to their house right after dinner.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
They just wouldn't take no for an answer. Friday morning,
at breakfast, I discussed the events of the past evening
with my landlady.
Speaker 7 (01:01):
It was nice of the Fletchers to ask you over
last night, Connie, did you have a good time?
Speaker 6 (01:05):
It was the maddest social event of the season, Missus Davis.
The Fletchers went to a party and I sat with
their seven year old boy until he got sleepy?
Speaker 7 (01:15):
Wells, did gave you something to do? Dear?
Speaker 5 (01:17):
And Tommy?
Speaker 7 (01:18):
He is a good little boy.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
Good but dull. He's a kind of an in between age.
You know, what do you mean?
Speaker 7 (01:25):
In between?
Speaker 5 (01:25):
He's too tall for nursery rhymes and too short to rumber.
Speaker 7 (01:31):
How did you entertain each other?
Speaker 5 (01:33):
We didn't they have a television set.
Speaker 7 (01:36):
What did you see, Connie?
Speaker 6 (01:38):
Well, I can't say exactly, but when I finally put
on my pajamas and went to bed, I felt naked
without spurs.
Speaker 7 (01:48):
Of course, I said, Did I get a big kick
out of them myself?
Speaker 5 (01:51):
You missus Davis? Yes, indeed.
Speaker 7 (01:54):
When I was a schoolgirl, we lived in Texas and
I did a lot of riding.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Really from our house.
Speaker 7 (02:00):
I had to take two trolleys and a bus to
get to school. But tell me about Tommy. Did you
have any trouble getting into bed?
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Well? A little at the beginning, but fortunately I found
a book by doctor.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
Gregory Nson, the famous child psychologist. I just applied his method,
and Tommy was in bed five minutes later. What method
did doctor Inton rick A mean pulling the plug on
the television set?
Speaker 8 (02:24):
You know?
Speaker 5 (02:25):
I was pretty relieved when his folks got home. Though
Tommy didn't look too well last night, but was wrong.
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
His eyes were kind of red and he seemed a
little warm. Could be a cold coming on.
Speaker 7 (02:35):
He probably was run down. Colds are all a never resistance.
That's why I like you to eat a good breakfast
every morning. Now here, eat this cereal. I crushed some
fruit in with your popsies this morning.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
Oh no, wonder these popsies were so peaceful today. Usually
they crackle, bark and snap at me. What kind of
fruit did you put in?
Speaker 7 (02:57):
Two kinds? I just can't see to remember what they.
Speaker 6 (03:01):
Were, though, missus Davis, you are the most absent minded
person I've ever met.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
But I don't know. There must be somebody worse than
I am.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
Oh, of course there is. I was just exaggerating. I
wouldn't hurt your feelings for the world.
Speaker 7 (03:15):
You know that, of course I do, Connie, hurt my
feelings about.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
Fuss about anything as trivial as some fruit.
Speaker 8 (03:26):
Fruit.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
There are two kinds in my cereal this morning.
Speaker 7 (03:31):
That's the best week to eat it. But you better
hurry if you want to be riddy. When Walter Dnton
comes to dude you to school?
Speaker 6 (03:40):
Oh, Walter isn't picking me up this morning. He's got
an errand to do for his father. But I've got
time to catch the eight fifteen bus.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
I don't know about bed Connie, What do you mean
My watch says five minutes of eight.
Speaker 7 (03:49):
Your watch is sibbings. It's eight twenty right now.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Oh, then I'll be late. Mister Conklin will kill me.
I've got around this minute.
Speaker 7 (03:57):
Good guide you if I shouldn't my seeing burt because
you put fruit in the cereal?
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Why about miss Brooks.
Speaker 7 (04:15):
I'll go in with you.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Oh why are you coming to school?
Speaker 5 (04:19):
Kolad?
Speaker 7 (04:19):
Well, I might ask you the same question.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Well don't.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
Besides, I've got a good excuse. I can blame it
all on the eight fifteen bus.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
What happened to us? It was on time. They'll do
that every now and then. But I'm afraid you won't
be able to kid old marblehead out of I mean,
mister Conklin's a bug on punctuality.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
I hope he doesn't catch you.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Fetch me. What about you? You're just as late as
I am over two minutes. I know I had a flat. Well,
let's get going, miss Brooks. We might as well march
to the guillotine together. Fine, we couldn't ask for a
nicer day for a double Heather. Now, just be as
quiet as pop.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
So well, after we get up the stets, let's go.
Speaker 9 (05:04):
In, miss Brooks.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
Now, if we can just sneak past mister Conston's office
up here, it is, let's tippy toe right.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
I'm sure I'm scared to death. Oh, relaxed, Walter. We're
only a couple of minutes later. That could happen to anybody.
Speaker 7 (05:19):
You certainly are calm, and we're kind of danger Miss Brooks.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
It's the only way to be Walder. There's no sense
in getting panicked. What if mister Conklin comes out of
this office.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
If mister Conklin comes out, I'll merely smile and say
good morning, mister Conklin.
Speaker 9 (05:33):
Well my, what an enthusiastic greeting.
Speaker 10 (05:47):
But may I remind you, Miss Brooks, that this school
is in session, and what's more, it has been for
some time. However, I'll deal with you first, and then
you have exactly ten seconds to present your reason for
this tardiness.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Walter.
Speaker 9 (06:01):
It's timed up.
Speaker 10 (06:08):
Now that you've had a fair trial, I'll meet out
your punishment. You, sir, will report to the Athletic Athletic
Field after school today, and you will bring with you
a long plank and a pen knife.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
What are they for?
Speaker 10 (06:21):
You're going to fill the high jump pit with shavings?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
The hard way.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Dismissed.
Speaker 10 (06:32):
I've got your class at once, yes, mister Brooks, and
now it's your turn.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
My pen knife's all rusty, mister Carlin, I should be
in my classroom.
Speaker 10 (06:45):
I've appointed my daughter Harriet as monitor of your class,
so there's time for your punishment, Miss Brooks. By a
rare coincidence, I've written in Longhand a ten page speech
entitled the Early Bird. You will type it up neatly
in triplicate and have it on my desk by noon today.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
You want me to tie ten pages in triplicate.
Speaker 10 (07:06):
I don't chew my cabbage twice.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
With me either. If it's put enough once, it's usually plenty.
Speaker 9 (07:16):
Pay attention, miss Brooks.
Speaker 10 (07:18):
At twelve thirty today, I am addressing the Goodfellows Monthly Luncheon,
a group of which I have recently been elected best Fellow.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Oh congratulations, mister Conklin.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
Then every fellow who can be elected best fellow with
the good fellows.
Speaker 10 (07:36):
You're so right, and today marks my thirtieth consecutive meeting
without once being tardy or absent. This breaks the former
attendance record of twenty nine consecutive luncheons and makes me
the new champion.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
I give anything to see you, Crown. I'd like to
be there when you read your speech.
Speaker 10 (07:56):
I'm afraid that's impossible. It's just for good fellows.
Speaker 8 (07:58):
But if you can keep a seat, I will let.
Speaker 10 (08:03):
You in on something. They are presenting me with a
solid gold pocket watch today.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
How do you know, mister Conslon.
Speaker 10 (08:09):
It was suggested at the last meeting, and I'm happy
to say my emotion was almost unanimously cat Now, then,
here are the pages I want to type, Miss Brooks.
I've got to get back into my office.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
Yes, mister Constlin, I'll do the best I can.
Speaker 9 (08:23):
Remember, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 10 (08:23):
By noon sharp, those papers must be on my desk,
and let this be a lesson to you.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Good morning, it's a dandy.
Speaker 8 (08:33):
Oh hello, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
Hello, mister Brander.
Speaker 11 (08:36):
I just stepped out of the lab to get some
things in the supply room. Did you just step out
of your.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
Class no, I haven't stepped in yet. I'm a little
late today and mister Conklin just caught me arriving.
Speaker 8 (08:45):
What did he say?
Speaker 5 (08:46):
Quite a bit, but boiled down to an hour.
Speaker 6 (08:49):
It adds up to my having to type a ten
page speech for him in triplicate.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
He's got to read it at his club meeting today.
Speaker 8 (08:55):
That isn't fair.
Speaker 11 (08:56):
I don't approve of disciplinary measures that relieve him of
work that's right fully his.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
I agree that it's a great imposition, but there's nothing
I can do about it.
Speaker 8 (09:04):
It certainly is an imposition. Thank goodness.
Speaker 11 (09:06):
I've got some biology papers that have to be typed
by tomorrow morning, and I'm a poor typist. I wouldn't
think of asking anyone to do it for me.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Huh.
Speaker 11 (09:15):
It wouldn't be fair for me to expect another teacher
to stay after school.
Speaker 8 (09:19):
And work with me on my notes in the biology lab.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
Of course it would. In fact, it would be an
imposition for you not to expect someone to help you.
But you just said, who are you gonna believe what
I just said?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Or me?
Speaker 5 (09:34):
I know of a teacher who'd love to type.
Speaker 8 (09:36):
Those notes for you, but it would mean staying here
quite late.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Uh huh.
Speaker 8 (09:45):
Really, the office in my lab is terribly small.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
I hear you talking.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (09:52):
Oh, we'd be jammed in there for hours. And the
lighting is pretty bad too.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Yum yum.
Speaker 8 (10:01):
I couldn't ask anybody to put up with that, could.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
I don't hesitate a minute.
Speaker 11 (10:06):
Do you really mean it, miss Brooks? Do you honestly
think I should ask someone to help ask?
Speaker 9 (10:13):
I'll do it.
Speaker 8 (10:14):
I'll go ask miss Enright to give me a hand.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Oh, miss Enwright can't possibly do any typing. She's letting
her fingernails grow. It's for a part in a dramatic
club sketch. She's playing the role of Fu Manchu's mother.
Speaker 11 (10:30):
I'll say I don't like to mention mis miss Brooks,
but while you were talking, I noticed that your face
seems quite flushed.
Speaker 8 (10:35):
You got several red spots on your neck.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
Don't tell me I'm blushing in polka dot.
Speaker 11 (10:41):
I don't want to alarm you, but I'd like to
take you to the infirmary right now.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Why, mister Bournon, this is the first date you've asked
me for in weed.
Speaker 8 (10:49):
I know I want the nurse to take a look
at you.
Speaker 11 (10:52):
Have you been exposed to anything contagious lately, just mister Conklin.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
Why do you think I've got, mister bournons measles?
Speaker 5 (11:01):
Where could I possibly catch a childish disease like measles?
I haven't been around any kids since last night. Last night.
Speaker 8 (11:09):
Tommy, who's Tommy?
Speaker 6 (11:11):
There's no time for details, but he's the author of
Hop Along Brooks Hops to the Infirmaray.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Staring Ye Varden will continue in just a moment, but
first here is Verne Smith.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Reader's Digest reports the results of one of the most
extensive experiments in Jennifer's history. Yes, Reader's Digest reports the
very same research which proves brushing teeth.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Right after eating with coldgate bental creams stops tooth decay best.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
And here are additional important facts.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Over a two year period, the cold gateway stops more
decay for more people than ever before reported in Deennifer's history. Yes,
the cold gateway of brushing teeth right after eating stop
tooth decay best, better than any other home method of
oral hygiene.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Even more important, there were no new cavities whatever for
more than one out of three who used coal gates
as directed. No other datifice ammoniated or not has proof
of such results, the best results ever reported for a
datifrae of any type.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
And you should know that Colgate Daniel Cream, while not
mentioned by name, was the only toothpaste used.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
In the research reported in July Reader's Digest.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yes, Colgate Daniel Cream and only Colgate Daniel Cream was
used in this research.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
So always use coal gates to clean your breath while
you clean your teeth, and when you follow the coal gateway,
Colgate Dantel cream stops tooth decay.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Bess Well, I didn't relish the idea of standing around
in the hall chatting about measles, so I let mister
Boynton guide me towards the infirmaries. He told me he
had had measles before, so he wasn't afraid of catching
them from me. Judging from his attitude in the past,
(13:03):
he was safe even if he hadn't had them before.
He's never gotten close enough to me to catch a
dangerous glance.
Speaker 11 (13:12):
Here are the armies, Brooks. Let's step into the waiting room.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
The nurse must be inside. Say, isn't that stretched snod
Grass lying down on the couch in the corner.
Speaker 8 (13:22):
Well, yes, he seems to be reading.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Really I didn't know he could.
Speaker 11 (13:27):
He's not much of a student at that, but he's
a fine athlete. Well let's see what's wrong, hi, Stretch,
old boy, what are you doing on that couch?
Speaker 9 (13:35):
I'm lying on her.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
I like an answer like that. It has integrated. Where's
the nurse, Stretch?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
If she's in the back room with an emergency case?
Speaker 8 (13:49):
An emergency case, what's the trouble?
Speaker 10 (13:51):
Well, we were having a little early practice today and
there was an accident.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
The nurse is trying to patch things up temporarily, but
it don't look so good so far.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
She's had to take twelve stitches.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
Oh that's terrible. Who's injured, Stretch or football?
Speaker 8 (14:04):
Don't bust it up.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
But the nurse says she can straighten it up pretty good.
She's had some experience in platchick surgery.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Great science, flatic surgery.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Well, I'm gonna get up now, Nurse Fenton'll be about
done with the ball.
Speaker 11 (14:17):
Or don't get too close to miss Brook Stretch. Is
a chance she has the measles.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Oh that's all right, I can't catch him.
Speaker 9 (14:21):
I had the measles when I were just a.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
Punk, Stretch. I had the measles when I was just
a pound?
Speaker 9 (14:27):
How could you get them again?
Speaker 5 (14:30):
You know I could do without today? Very nicely?
Speaker 12 (14:34):
Here you are stretched, the patient recovered beautifully.
Speaker 10 (14:37):
Hey swell, thanks a lot, Mss Button.
Speaker 9 (14:39):
Well, I gotta be going up. You better take a
look at Miss Brooks. Hope you get better real quipments Brooks.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
Banks stretch, Hello, Miss Brooks, mister Boynton.
Speaker 12 (14:47):
What seems to be the matter?
Speaker 7 (14:48):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (14:49):
I don't think it's anything really, but I don't mean it.
Speaker 8 (14:51):
Miss Brooks.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Look at that face? What's wrong with it?
Speaker 8 (14:56):
Those little but it looks like measles to me?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Nurse?
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Maybe right?
Speaker 12 (15:00):
Mister Boyton, you're a little warm too, aren't you?
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Miss Brooks?
Speaker 12 (15:04):
Just a little well, that could come from any number
of things, like being in such close proximity to mister
Boyton here. But we better take your temperative.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Just to make sure.
Speaker 12 (15:16):
Now put this thermometer under your tongue there.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
How there the farm?
Speaker 12 (15:23):
Now just sit there and be still for a minute. Okay, Well,
mister Boydon, we don't see much of you down here
in the infirmary, do we.
Speaker 9 (15:33):
No.
Speaker 8 (15:34):
I'm pretty healthy, specimen, I guess.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
I'll say you are.
Speaker 12 (15:39):
How do you keep yourself so fit?
Speaker 8 (15:41):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (15:42):
I don't know clean living, I suppose and considerable exercise.
Speaker 8 (15:45):
I played badminton whenever I get the chance.
Speaker 12 (15:47):
Do you really now, isn't that funny? I just adore badminton.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
You do, I've got badminton.
Speaker 11 (15:53):
Pooh, what did you say, Miss Brooks?
Speaker 5 (16:01):
I said, I love badminton too.
Speaker 12 (16:03):
Put that thermometer back in your mouth, please, Miss Brooks. Okay,
perhaps we could play together some evening, mister Boynton.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
Perhaps we could.
Speaker 12 (16:14):
How would Thursday night be fore?
Speaker 8 (16:15):
You's all right?
Speaker 5 (16:20):
I said, Thursday's great for me too, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 12 (16:22):
Will you please keep that thermometer in your mouth.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
I'll pay, I'll hear.
Speaker 12 (16:31):
I'll tell you what, mister Brynton, why don't you come
over to my place for dinner Thursday evening?
Speaker 8 (16:36):
I'm sure I'd enjoyed that very much. About what time?
Speaker 12 (16:38):
Six thirty so so five?
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Boo quiet please.
Speaker 12 (16:45):
I'm sure we'll have a nice time. Mister Gordon, I've
been wanting you to meet.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
My husband, hot dog.
Speaker 12 (16:52):
Watch that thermometer.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Oh, I'm terribly sorry at the word husband that just
flew out of my mouth, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 12 (17:00):
We'd better not take a chance if there is any
contagions the students mustn't be exposed to it. Now go
right home and get into bed bed. I'll see that
the board sends the doctor over. And meanwhile, be sure
to keep your room nice and dark. It's very important
with needles.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
I still don't see how I could catch anything like that.
After all, I'm a semi grown woman.
Speaker 11 (17:25):
Are you absolutely certain that you never had the measles
when you were a child, Miss Brooks?
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Positive? We were very poor.
Speaker 12 (17:39):
Dear miss Brooks, let me flip another pillow behind.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
Thank Harrot. It was nice of you and Walter to
bring me home. Oh, don't give it a fine, Miss Brooks.
In beach staying in school.
Speaker 12 (17:49):
And don't you worry about your condition, Miss Brooks, there's
nothing to it.
Speaker 7 (17:53):
I had needles when I was a kid. Thanks Granny,
I brought you a box of marshmallows. Needs to keep
your company by you.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Indeed, that's nice, missus Davis. We'll chat for hours before
we go.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
Miss Brooks.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
I want you to know that the whole class chips
in to buy you a little present. Oh they shouldn't
have done it, Walter. Wasn't that tweet? Missus Davis.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
Where did they get me in the afternoon papers.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
That's what I've always wanted.
Speaker 7 (18:21):
I'm freed. Miss Brooks won't be doing any reading for
a while. I made sure of that by removing all
the bugs. Oh you, Connie, give you a ninch and
you'll read all days. Harriet, please pull that window shade down.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
All Oh this is clubby gosh, it's so darkened you
you can't see two feet in front of you.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
So what who wants to sit around looking at feed
all day?
Speaker 7 (18:47):
I'll have to ask you children to leave now. I
want Miss Brooks to get some risk. Okay, we have
to get back to school anyway. Hurry up and get well,
Miss brought and buy Miss broad Bye.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Kids, and thanks again for everything.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
He certainly was sought loving to bring the newspapers.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Well it tunny, Yes it was.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
Do you think I could just light a match and
see what Terry and the pirates are doing?
Speaker 7 (19:09):
Absolutely not, Tony, come in. Oh it's mister Byington.
Speaker 8 (19:15):
Hello, missus Davis. Hollo, it's Brookes.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
Hello mister Boyton. Goodbye, Missus Davis.
Speaker 7 (19:23):
I got some things on the store.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
Oh certainly, dear sit down, mister Byn.
Speaker 8 (19:27):
Thank you. I'll close the door first. We don't want
any light to get in. Do we just find a
chair and.
Speaker 11 (19:38):
Here's one. Okay, this is comfortable. Where did you get
this new sponge rubber chair?
Speaker 5 (19:45):
Sponge rubber Mister Boynton, get up?
Speaker 8 (19:47):
What's wrong?
Speaker 5 (19:47):
You're sitting on my marshmallow.
Speaker 11 (19:59):
There's no damaged and they're wrapped in cellophane. Just stop
by to see how you're feeling.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
I feel fine, mister boy.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
Oh good, then I can get right back to school.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
I feel terrible, mister maybe you better take my pulse
how I can't see your wrist.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
Wait, I'll send up a flare.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
Now I'd better not stay too long, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 11 (20:23):
You know how mister Cocklan feels about fraternization between faculty members.
And if he found out that I left school in
the middle of the day to come to see you, we'll.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Relax, mister Boyd. He won't find out in a million years.
Speaker 9 (20:35):
Are you there, Miss brook.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
I'm certainly flies.
Speaker 8 (20:42):
It's mister Cocklan. What should I do?
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Just it perfectly? Still? He may not see you.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
Well, Miss brook close the door behind you, please, mister Conklin.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
I don't want that light shining in my eyes.
Speaker 10 (20:57):
Will now then, Miss Brooks, how do you expect me
to make a speech without my note.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
Oh dear, I brought them home with me, but I
didn't get a chance to tighten them up.
Speaker 10 (21:06):
You can, for Heaven's sake, give me back the papers
I gave you. I have only five minutes to get
to that luncheon.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
Let's see. I put them right on my knight stands.
Here they are. Just reach out, mister counseling.
Speaker 8 (21:16):
All right, hown.
Speaker 10 (21:18):
If I can't find your hands, where's your hand?
Speaker 6 (21:20):
Miss Brooks, try lower down on my arm.
Speaker 9 (21:32):
I've got them. Good day, Miss Brookes. What are you
doing in bed in the.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
Middle of the day, mister Conklin, I have the measles.
Speaker 9 (21:44):
Oh well, I'm sorry to hear that, Miss Brooks. If
there's anything I can do to me, I've never had
them before. I'd better get out of here.
Speaker 8 (21:53):
Oh just a minute, mister Conklin.
Speaker 11 (21:54):
You can't leave now, dare It's affected her voice?
Speaker 8 (22:04):
No excuse me, sir, mister Boynton.
Speaker 11 (22:07):
At the risk of incurring your displeasure, I must request
that you don't leave the premises now.
Speaker 8 (22:11):
I'd better close this door. What's that? But you see, if.
Speaker 11 (22:14):
You've never had the measles before, you might have contracted
them just now.
Speaker 9 (22:17):
You mean miss Brooks might have given me the measle.
Speaker 8 (22:20):
It's entirely possible, mister Conkland.
Speaker 13 (22:22):
She wouldn't my fault, mister mister Boyne's right.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
After all, measles are contagious. You wouldn't want to start
a panic in the streets.
Speaker 10 (22:37):
There's no reason for any panic. The good fellows are
waiting for me with a gold pocket watch. I want
that watch, and I mean to get it now. No
one knows that I've been in this room except the
three of us.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
Ah, I'm glad he doesn't hold my mortgage.
Speaker 11 (22:54):
Look, mister Conkland, just to get a little gold watch.
You wouldn't want your fellow goodfellows to get the measles
from you.
Speaker 9 (23:00):
Boynton. No one has ever gotten anything from me.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
You can again.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
Now, I'm sorry, mister Cocklan.
Speaker 11 (23:08):
In the interests of civic welfare, I can't allow you
to leave this house and expose the community to measles.
Speaker 10 (23:13):
Old man, how would you like a brand new Bunsen
burner for your biology laboratory?
Speaker 5 (23:19):
Careful, mister Boynton. He sounds like he's edging toward the door.
Speaker 10 (23:21):
Yes, sir, nice new Bunsen burner.
Speaker 11 (23:24):
Sorry, mister Cocklan, I advise you not to try to
leave here at all.
Speaker 8 (23:29):
He got away.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
I don't think you'll get very far. He ran into
my closet. Welcome back, mister Conklin.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Have a nice trip, mister brook.
Speaker 10 (23:42):
It may interest you to know that you have just
destroyed my last chance for setting an attendance record at
the good Fellow's luncheons once a month. For three long years,
I have been eating that revolting cream chicken and a
patty shell with just one part in mine, a gold
pocket watch.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Well go feel you badly, mister Conklin.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
You can take another crack at the record in the
coming three years.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
Oh, Connie, your school nurse is here to see you.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
Come right in, missus Fanson.
Speaker 12 (24:07):
Well what's all this, visitors?
Speaker 2 (24:09):
I am no visitor. I'm a prisoner of war.
Speaker 12 (24:12):
Hello, mister Conson. The doctor's out on a case, Miss Brooks.
So he asked me to take another look at you.
Would you lift that shade seed, mister Boynton?
Speaker 8 (24:20):
Well certainly.
Speaker 7 (24:23):
Right, Connie, your face is all cleared up?
Speaker 12 (24:26):
Why, yes, yes, the spots are all gone. It couldn't
possibly have been measles.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
Did you hear that, mister Conklin. We don't have measles
after all.
Speaker 9 (24:34):
Now she tells me when it's ten.
Speaker 8 (24:36):
Minutes past my gold watch.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
Well, if it wasn't measles, what did I have?
Speaker 12 (24:40):
Probably just a little allergy rash? Are you allergic to
any particular food?
Speaker 5 (24:44):
Only strawberries?
Speaker 7 (24:46):
Strawberries? That's what I put in with your popsies this
morning time.
Speaker 12 (24:52):
Then that was it, just a little temporary strawberry rash.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
Did you hear that, mister Conkor All we had was
a little temporary strawberry rash.
Speaker 9 (24:59):
You're very generous.
Speaker 12 (25:01):
I'm glad you came to the infirmary, though, Miss Brooks
an ounce of prevention, you.
Speaker 9 (25:06):
Know, prevention. Why did you tell us she had measles? You?
Missus Anthony you.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
I'm sorry about your missing the luncheon and the gold
forget about it.
Speaker 10 (25:16):
What's done is done. I asked just one paper of
you all. Don't ever mention it again. I don't want
anything to remind me of my loss.
Speaker 7 (25:22):
We understand, how good, and I'm sure we'll all cooperate. Now,
how about staying here for lunch?
Speaker 12 (25:29):
Folks?
Speaker 7 (25:29):
I have enough for everybody.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
That's a wonderful idea. What are we having, missus Davis.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
Cream chicken over Patty's shed?
Speaker 5 (25:41):
For he's a jolly good tale.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
For he's a jolly good tellow For he's a jolly
good tea.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
We should live so long.

Speaker 6 (27:17):
Well, we all had lunch and we're just finishing our
coffee when missus Sandon put down her cups and leaned
toward mister Conklin.
Speaker 12 (27:23):
Pardon me, mister Conston, but there seems to be several
small blotches on your face.
Speaker 10 (27:27):
And neck blotches. Blot What kind of blotches?
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Big red ones like I had?
Speaker 8 (27:31):
Correction, miss Brooks, like you have. They seem to have
come back.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Come back, Missus Davis, were there any strawberries and that
cream chicken?
Speaker 9 (27:38):
This is absurd.
Speaker 10 (27:39):
I've never been allergic to anything in my life.
Speaker 7 (27:41):
Well, you're never too old to start as good. It
might have been those patty shells.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
I'll get it.
Speaker 9 (27:47):
This thing has me worried.
Speaker 10 (27:48):
Some of my friends have atlergies, but nothing like this
has ever happened to me.

My wife, Wow, Yes, this is Brooks.

Why oh I see, well, thanks for calling. Well, we
don't have to worry wry about any allergies.
Speaker 5 (28:01):

We don't know, sir.
Speaker 5 (28:03):

the little boy I sat with last night is in
bed with a bad case of measles.
