Speaker 1 (00:01):
So your beauty hope and bluster cream shampoo for salt,
glamorous caressible hair, bring you our Miss Brooks, darring Eve Arden.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
For most of us are school dance.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Isn't the most exciting event in the world, But to
our Miss Brooks, who teaches English at Madison High, the
one planned for last Friday night was a most welcome diversion.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
The more so since I was expecting bashful mister Boynton
to peer out of his shell long enough to invite
me to go with him. Anyway, last Friday morning, Missus Davis,
my landlady, and I were discussing the dance at breakfast.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Where did the funds come from for this dance coming?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
We're raising the money by means of a wishing well
in front.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Of the school.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
It's an idea of Harriet Conklin's. Everybody's supposed to throw
in a dime.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
You mean students and faculty members tossing dimes to pay
for refreshments and things.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
That's right, missus day I tossed my diamondto the well yesterday.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
And what did you wish, Connie?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I wished it was.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Only a nickel.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I had a very light lunch if you want to
know my real wish, though you will have to keep
it confidential.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
I won't breathe it to a living soul.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Word of honor.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
May I lose the top propeller on my beanie?
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Well, I wouldn't want you to get arrested for indecent exposure.
I wish that mister Boynton would pay more attention to
me and less to that frog of his.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
McDougall, why, Connie, don't tell me you're jealous of a frog.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
It gets any worse, we'll both be the same color.
I want to be the way he pampers that lumpy brute.
He even took him to the movies last night, said McDougall.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Just loved the picture.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
What did they see?
Speaker 4 (01:54):
What else? Hoop along, Cassidy.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I think you're exaggerating, Tommie. Mister Boynton is very fond
of you.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Oh that must be Walter Dens and he's taking me
to school this morning. Just a minute, Walter, excuse me,
missus Davis, Oh Walder, come in wait.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Let me look at your hair, Miss Brooks. What poised
in the doorway as you are? The sun seems to
strike sparks from your already molten presses.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Oh, don't stand there, stamp me out. Please come in.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Before the flies do.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I just got to run a comb through my blazing.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Presses and we're off, Walder.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Would you care for a glass of milk?
Speaker 5 (02:39):
I just had breakfast an hour ago, but I can
always have a glass of milk and an egg sandwich.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Oh, I forgot you.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Have breakfast ahead of your tapeworm? Hello?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Can I fix something for you?
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Just anything you have in an apple be fine, missus Davis.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
He means just everything you're have in the house of
Give him the quick egg sandwich and some milk.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Very well, I'll.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Be back in a jiffy, Walter, okay, missus d Miss Brooks,
don't you think it was a wonderful idea of Harriet's
to start the wishing well dance.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
I'll let you know after the dance.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
How's the well coming? By the way, raising expenses, the
times are flocking him.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
I was in charge of it for a while yesterday.
Some of the wishes were a scream, Miss Brooks, especially
the ones that the faculty wished about mister conklor.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Our beloved principle.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
I never thought he was.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
So popular with his staff.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
One after another, they all wish that he would get
everything that's coming to him.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
You excuse me, Walter, I'm gonna get my hat.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Oh sure, Miss Brooks, take your time early, here you
are walkay?
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Oh, just one egg sandwich, that'll be all right. Oh,
missus Davis, if you'll just sit real close to me here,
I got a big favorite ass f This is extremely confidential.
I won't breathe a word of it, word of honor,
and may I lose my beanie in the downbraft.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Well.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
The other day at the wishing well, right after I
wheedle a dime out of mister Boynton, Harriet wheedle his wish.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Out of him. But did he wish for Walters?
Speaker 5 (04:15):
He wished for a lock of Miss Brooks's hair.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Oh isn't that romantic? But why doesn't he just ask
her for it?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Because he's too.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Bashful, He says, that's much too personal.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
But even though.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Harriet and I promised on our honor not to mention
it to miss Brooks, we've decided that our first step
is to get him what he wants. When miss Brooks
finds out he's got it, and we'll see she does
find out, then we'll take our next step.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Okay, okay, but what's a first step again?
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Please, there's no time for details. Me, Harriet, and my
pal Stretch all have scissors. But just in case we
don't get the opportunity, we want you to take a
whack out of two. Now, all you have to do
is care to focus her attention on something else and
then snip off a hunk from the back. Say you'll try,
Missus Davis.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Please that wind, Walter, right now is a good time.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Why she's currying herself. Will go ahead, Missus Davis.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
Here's the scissors.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
Just don't let her catch you.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Whatever you do, all right, Walter. If it's to further
her romance, I guess it's worth a tribe. Oh, Connie,
anything I can do to hell?
Speaker 4 (05:22):
No, thank you? Just putting my hat on.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Oh oh, just a minute, Connie, turn around a second.
Just as I thought, what, there's a bug on the
back of your dress.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
A bug? Where? Get him all?
Speaker 3 (05:34):
He's just a ladybug.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Tonny, lady or gentlemen, get him all.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
All right now, Steel says she's gone.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Thanks, This is Davis. Are you sure that was just
a ladybug?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Positive?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Dear?
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Why do you ask?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Because just before you flipped it off, I could swear.
She snaps at me.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Well, here we are, miss Brooks, ten minutes ahead of time,
Thanks Walter.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
I'm glad we're a little early. Gives me a chance
to expose myself to mister Boynton's incipient invitation to the
Dan incipients. He's been threatening to ask me.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
I like to think he'll ask you.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
All right.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
He's intensely interested in you, miss Brooks. I can tell
that the way he looks at you.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Oh you can well have you ever seen him look
at McDougall.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
But believe me, they're two different looks.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
I know one is up and one is down.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
To be getting out now, Oh just a minute, miss Brooks.
So there's something on your.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Collar and my collar.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Is it a ladybug? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (06:41):
I think so.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Here, let me brush it off for you. Turn around.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
She must have come with a suit.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
There's one thing I'm sorry for. It's a ladybug with
a cold.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Well no, no, I was a name, Miss Brooks. Now,
I had to cover up this well, that is, I
should have covered up warmly in bed last night.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Right.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Well, I'll find a place to park and see you
in school.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
All right, Waller happy parking, Thanks, Miss Brooks, and a
happy mister Boynton.
Speaker 7 (07:07):
You good morning, mister Boynton.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
May I come in?
Speaker 8 (07:20):
Oh Miss Brooks, of course, good morning. I was just
straightening out McDougall's cage. Naturally, it's miss Brooks.
Speaker 9 (07:27):
Mac say hello.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
He sounds a little dejected, doesn't he.
Speaker 8 (07:37):
Yes, he has been sleeping well at all. Just tosses
and turns all night long.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
So do I.
Speaker 8 (07:44):
But you don't bruise your sides against wire mesh when
you toss around. If he doesn't prove today, I'm afraid
I won't be able to ask you to go to
the student faculty danced tonight, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Were you going to?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Mister Boynton?
Speaker 4 (07:57):
You get your own date? Why are you? Mister?
Speaker 9 (08:05):
Yes? I was? But mac here.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
I'm getting a.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Little tired of mac here, mister Boydon. Every time we
have a day, something happens to Mac. Last Monday, I
had to eat lunch alone because he had longitis and
you wanted to massage his throat.
Speaker 9 (08:19):
Did him a world of good, didn't it? Mac?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Another Nelson Eddy?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Mac Now shut up? And Wednesday afternoon, when we were
supposed to go for a walk in the park, you
called the cancel that day.
Speaker 9 (08:32):
I had to Mac had a headache.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Oh great, the frog with a headache.
Speaker 9 (08:37):
I can't say I like your attitude, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 8 (08:40):
If you knew the slightest bit about cellular structure, you'd
be aware of the fact that amphibians and humans are
equally susceptible to crany obtain why post orbital pressure on
the squabmosle at the base of a frog's skull can
be most expressing.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Now ain't that a shame?
Speaker 9 (08:56):
Yes, yes it is.
Speaker 8 (08:57):
If you'll think I'm going to a dance while Mcdogal's
squad irritated, You're mistaken. Excuse me, No, I've got to
go to the cafeteria.
Speaker 9 (09:07):
I'm eating a little lettuce for him.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Maybe I can help you.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
I'd make it hot for him.
Speaker 9 (09:13):
You just keep him company until I return.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Well, here we are alone, Max Ooh, don't worry.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
I'm not going to do anything to you.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
But just between you and me, Max, you're nothing but
a big pain in the school mosal.
Speaker 5 (09:39):

Get bath size pom Olive soap tomorrow. Men folk love

a little free time which I was determined to employ
in a really constructive manner. So I hastened to my
desk and promptly did some first rate brooding. It wasn't long, however,
(11:19):
before my rancid reverie was interrupted. Stretched nod Grass Madison
star athletes paid me a little visit. Although Stretches splendidly
equipped physically mentally, he doesn't go along with a gag
anyhow While I sat with my head in my hands
muttering voodoo curses against my arch rival, MacDougal, Stretched slipped
(11:41):
into my room, tiptoed up to my desk and.
Speaker 13 (11:43):
Murmured, Hymus Brooks, Can I see you for a minute?
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Please, Stretch?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
May I see you for a minute?
Speaker 13 (11:52):
Stretchmas Brooks. You don't need no permission to see me.
Speaker 9 (11:55):
I'm just a student.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
I come down, wonder of whattch What can I do
for you?
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Well?
Speaker 13 (12:04):
First of all, you can stop snag Mulligan from calling
me names in class.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Name Yeah, he says, Stretch, don't describe.
Speaker 9 (12:11):
Me good enough.
Speaker 13 (12:12):
He's telling everybody to call me Sano sanno. Well, they're
the cigarettes with the nicotine removed.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
What has that got to do with you?
Speaker 13 (12:21):
He says, I'm the school boy with the brain removed?
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Did he get a hold of your X rays? Can
I cut it down?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Now?
Speaker 4 (12:30):
What else can I do for you? Nothing?
Speaker 13 (12:32):
Miss Brooks? But I was thinking maybe there's something I can.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Do for you for me, But Stretch, nobody calls me names.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
In fact, nobody calls me at all lately.
Speaker 13 (12:41):
It's about the dance, Miss Brooks, the wishing Well dance.
It's for faculty and students, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Yeah, well, I realize that.
Speaker 13 (12:49):
I mean, when it comes to romantic stuff and things
like that, I'm no mister Boyton.
Speaker 8 (12:55):
Neither is he.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
What I'm trying to say.
Speaker 13 (12:59):
Is Brooks is well, have you been spoken for yet?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Not exactly, Stretch. That is, I was just about to
be spoken for her when I was croked at.
Speaker 13 (13:09):
You mean, mister Boynt, is not taking you not so far?
Then I would consider it a very high type honor
if you could see your way clearly?
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Was scarting me to the dance quite Stretch, how chivalrous.
Speaker 13 (13:23):
Now, Please don't go get any wrong ideas, Miss Brooks.
That is, I don't think a person should be led.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
On to you, definitely not.
Speaker 13 (13:32):
Then you'll understand when I tell you right out, I'm
not in love with you, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
That's what I like, a nice clean break how hands
and dragging these things out or it.
Speaker 13 (13:45):
Isn't that I'm not terribly fond of you, it's just well,
there's a difference in our ages.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Oh I know, Stretch, I'm old enough to be your cousin.
Speaker 13 (13:57):
If you don't have to give me your final answer
about the dancer to later, Miss Brooks. After all, I
think mister poynt not to.
Speaker 14 (14:02):
Get another crack at you.
Speaker 13 (14:08):
I mean, he's really gone on you.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I was taking him too long to get back now, Stretch,
I'm a little tired of playing second fiddle to a frog.
I may not go to the dance at all.
Speaker 13 (14:19):
I'm sorry you feel that way, Miss Brooks, but I'll
check back with you after school. Oh, before I go,
would you mind turning your head towards the window. I
think there's something on your back.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
On my back, it's not that ladybug again, ladybug.
Speaker 11 (14:33):
Oh yeah, that's just what it is.
Speaker 13 (14:35):
A hold still mount, I'll.
Speaker 15 (14:36):
Brush it off.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Eh, all gone.
Speaker 13 (14:40):
Oh there's one more thing. I had some kind of
a message for you. It's bothered me all morning. Oh yeah,
mister Conklin wants to see you in his office.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Mister Conklin, when did he give you that message?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Stretch this morning? On the way into school this morning?
But what time did he say you wanted to see me?
He said immediately. But it's too late for that now,
so you might as well take your time.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
This book so long?
Speaker 16 (15:02):
Fano hi ho hi ho as off?
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Why not I go?
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I was said, Oh, oh, I'm fine, Miss Brook. I
didn't see you, thanks Harriet.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
I have been losing weight lately.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I'm just going in to see your father. Is Madison's
esteen principle in a good mood.
Speaker 15 (15:25):
Wonderful for death. I just fond the receipts from the
wishing well, Miss Brook. That's what he wants to see
you about. He's got a surprise for you.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Surprise.
Speaker 8 (15:33):
What is it?
Speaker 15 (15:34):
It wouldn't be a surprise anymore if I told you.
But miss Brook, before you go in to see daddy,
there's somebody else wants to see you. Somebody you'd rather
see than Daddy.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I know that could be anybody, Harriet. More specific, it's
mister Boynton.
Speaker 15 (15:49):
He told me to tell you to drop into.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
His lab as soon as.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
You come to time.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
When did he tell you that, Harriet? Oh, Alfo, the
Pony Express was faster than you kids.
Speaker 15 (15:58):
Oh just a minute, Brooks, before you go. You better
turn around a minute. There's something on your collar, you too,
What is it, Harry?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I'll get it.
Speaker 15 (16:06):
Off for you. It's it's a small piece of yarn.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Now, isn't that free? My lady bug must be knitting
me some socks.
Speaker 9 (16:20):
Thanks very much, mister Jenson.
Speaker 8 (16:22):
These scissors will certainly come in handy.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
I beg your pardon, mister Boynton, but these sitges won't
come in at all. They may be brought in, but
they most certainly will not come in. But what you
said these dishes will certainly come in handy. Then I
said they may be brought in, but they most certainly
will not come here. And I meant just that.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Ever since I've.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
Been custodian here at Madison, I've tried to get people
to eliminate meaning misstrages from their conversations.
Speaker 9 (16:57):
I know you have, miss you say.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
The scissors will come in, you are attributing a mobility
to an object which has none. Now to tell the truth,
mister Boynton, have you ever seen sisters coming into a
place under their own powers?
Speaker 9 (17:11):
I have? But if you don't mind, I'm expecting somebody.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
Even if I did mind, you'd still be expecting them.
But if you tidn't my curiosity, Mister Boyton, why did
you want these PsyS?
Speaker 9 (17:27):
Well, it's rather a personal reason, missus Jensen. But no,
I don't mind telling you.
Speaker 8 (17:31):
I wanted a lock of someone's hair for quite a
while now, and I finally must have enough courage to
try to get it.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Oh, is is that romance? Who is the hair? E?
Mister Boyton? Whose lock of hair do you want?
Speaker 9 (17:50):
Well, it's miss Brooks. Between you and me that.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
Would be a little crowded with hair if you do
want to lock of their hair. I certainly certainly wish
you good luck. I'll have to be going now. I
hope I haven't offended you by indulging in my little hobby.
Speaker 9 (18:10):
Not at all, mister Jensen.
Speaker 8 (18:11):
And about those scissors coming in handy, I get your point, Hey,
I get your point about the scissors.
Speaker 9 (18:20):
It's a good one, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (18:23):
No, not day a good time at your point?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Power things?
Speaker 6 (18:35):
What things?
Speaker 4 (18:37):
I don't know everything.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
You've got a new baby at home, haven't you.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
Yes, it's Brooks, one new one and five used ones.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Tig children to think of it, it's hard not to.
Speaker 15 (18:52):
That's the latest.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Is he big?
Speaker 6 (18:54):
Reasonably large?
Speaker 9 (18:55):
Yees?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Have you named him yet?
Speaker 6 (18:57):
Yes, we named him.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
What did you call him, mister Benson?
Speaker 6 (19:01):
No, we didn't call him, mister Jensen.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
That's my name.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
There must be another route to the laboratory.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
You have a new baby, mister Jensen. What is his name?
Speaker 6 (19:14):
His name is Lucy. Well, if you'll excuse me, miss Broods,
I'll be running along.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Oh now i've caught you, mister Jensen.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
You won't actually be running.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Along at all?
Speaker 6 (19:28):
Oh yes I will? Goodniye, miss Broods.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Well some days you just can't win.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
I beg your pardon, mister Boton.
Speaker 9 (19:42):
What did you do?
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Oh? Now, don't you start that? Harriet told me you
wanted to see me.
Speaker 9 (19:48):
Oh I do, Miss Brooks. It's about this morning. I
didn't like the way we started.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Neither did I, mister Boynton.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
But you had to get some hot letters for the
King of the Croakers.
Speaker 9 (19:58):
Please Brooks, don't be angry. Yeah, that's all over now,
and Maxfield Max Fields much better.
Speaker 8 (20:03):
In fact, if he keeps on improving today, I'd very
much like to take you to the wishing Well.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Dance tonight, you would, mister Boyne.
Speaker 9 (20:10):
Yes, indeed.
Speaker 8 (20:11):
And there's something else I'd like to do too, right now,
there is, Yes, there is. Would you turn your head
a bit please like this? No, not up toward me,
away from me. Better turn all the way around.
Speaker 9 (20:27):
But why, mister Boynton, there's something on the color of
your suit. It's probably just a loose thread. Here, I'll
slip it off for you.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
There is that all, mister Boyton.
Speaker 9 (20:37):
Yes, mister Brooks, that's all.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Then.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
I guess I'll be running over to mister Conklin's office
for some warmth and affection.
Speaker 8 (20:44):
Just a minute, miss Brooks, you won't actually be running,
Oh yes I will.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Goodbye, mister Boyne.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Excuse me, mister Conklin, but I got an that you.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Wanted to see me.
Speaker 10 (21:01):
How was it delivered by pack mules?
Speaker 6 (21:05):
I'll never mind, miss Brooks.
Speaker 9 (21:06):
There's no time for apologies.
Speaker 17 (21:08):
I've been considering various members of the Faculty for the
position of executive hostess at the wishing.
Speaker 9 (21:13):
Well Dance tonight.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Yes, mister Conston, your name was.
Speaker 17 (21:15):
The first to pop into my mind, and as quickly
as I could.
Speaker 9 (21:19):
I popped it out.
Speaker 17 (21:21):
However, due severe pressure from my wife and daughter, I
hereby appoint you Miss wishing Well of nineteen forty nine.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Do you think I'm deep enough? Thanks very much, mister Confon.
Speaker 10 (21:34):
This is not merely an honorary title, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 8 (21:36):
I've invited several members of the Board of.
Speaker 17 (21:38):
Education to attend, and it will be your duty to
see that the entire affair is run off.
Speaker 9 (21:43):
Without a hit.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Well, I'll try my best, mister Conflon. Will I be
in charge of purchasing refreshment?
Speaker 17 (21:47):
You will, Harriet will turn over the funds that were collected,
and I suggest that you enlist the aid of one
of the male members of the faculty to help carry
the bundle.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
I have a biology teacher in the balcony, doctor that is.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
I'm sure Miss Appointing will be glad to help.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Yeah, that's all, yes, sir, goodbye, mister Conklin, goodbye.
Speaker 17 (22:07):
Oh just the moment, Miss Brooks, come back to my
Deskine what is it, mister con I'd like to take
a look at the back of your head, Just as
I thought, Miss Brooks, you are hereby relieved of all
duties at the dance tonight.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
But I don't understand, mister Countlor.
Speaker 10 (22:22):
Furthermore, I forbid you even to put in an appearance.
But why I told you the Board.
Speaker 17 (22:27):
Of Education would be there, Miss Brooks, and I flatly
refused to have them see one of my teachers.
Speaker 9 (22:32):
Wearing a butch haircut.
Speaker 8 (22:43):
And this is what makes the platypus your neque hell
that's off today, class dismissed.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
Excuse me, mister Boynton, But I've got something you want here.
It's a lot of miss Brook's hair.
Speaker 9 (22:57):
A lot of Miss Brook's hair. How did you know
I want?
Speaker 15 (23:00):
Harriet told me.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
But don't worry, mister Boynton. Your secret hasn't gone any
further than Harriet and me and stretching missus Davis.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Don't get me.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
I'm in on it too, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 9 (23:11):
Miss Brooks, I hardly know what to say.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Well I do. First of all, I'm quite flattered to
learn that you want a lock of my hair. Second day,
I'm happy to find out why everybody's had me turning
around like a whirling.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Dervish all day.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
It's the point you got a lock on my last bin.
Speaker 9 (23:26):
Didn't you? Yes, I did, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Woul the lock waller's giving you. You have two? Would
you like to try for four?
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Brooks Go ahead, take the more. I'll just tell people
a funny thing happened to me while I was bending
over my mix masters course. If you will just be patient,
I'm sure some fresh returns will be coming in momentarily.
Speaker 14 (23:51):
But I got a hellow, Miss brooks Well, I guess
I'll be running along though.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Open your fifth stretch. You're taking all the curl out
of my curl.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
She wis to a stretch. Just hand it over, yes, and.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
Don't rush off.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
We should be hearing from another hairy precinct any minute.
I'd like to give you this, oh high, Miss brooks
Well to buss to Boyton, Wait a minute, Harriet, drop
it in the collection plate and sit down.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
He knows all about it, Harriet.
Speaker 15 (24:22):
But how did you find out, Miss brook.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
A little ladybug told me.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Look, mister Boyne, now that you have as much of
my hair as I have, I think I'll buy you
a family sized lockets in which to carry it.
Speaker 9 (24:34):
I didn't want it to carry Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
You didn't, then, would you mind explaining, mister Boyne.
Speaker 8 (24:39):
It's rather embarrassing, Miss Brooks. But well, you see, I've
sewn together this piece of cheese cloth, and I figured
if I could stuff it with some real fluffy hair,
it'd make a nice pillow for McDougall's head. It may
help curious insomnia. I was hoping you wouldn't mind, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Why should I mind? He's been in my hair long enough,
he might as well be on it.
Speaker 10 (25:16):
Evartin as our Miss Brooks returns in just a moment.
Speaker 14 (25:19):
But first, dream Girl, dream Girl, Beautiful, luster.
Speaker 10 (25:25):

Dream girl's dream girl. Beautiful Luster Cream. You you're cunning, glorious,
a lost cream shampool, and now once again here is
our Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Well, mister Conklin relented and gave me permission to attend
the dance, but not until I had repossessed my missing
curls and stuck them back on with some scotch tape.
At any rate, mister Boynton seemed satisfied with my appearance.
Speaker 9 (26:41):
You look lovely, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 8 (26:43):
Something tells me we're gonna have a wonderful time to see.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
I hope, so, mister Boyton, and I must admit that
I am very pleasantly surprised to find that you're not
worrying about that frog of yours.
Speaker 8 (26:53):
Why should I worry about him, Miss Brooks. McDougall's fine. Now,
how about this dance?
Speaker 9 (26:57):
I think they're going to play a waltz.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Oh, I'd love it, mister.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
My second thought, you two go ahead, I'll cut in later.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Brooks walk you buy pim on it shot your beauty
help and what's the stream.
Speaker 10 (27:17):
Tampoo for soft, glamorous, rascible.

Larry Burns, written and directed by al Lewis, with music
by Wilbur Hatch.
Speaker 11 (27:31):
Here's good shaving news. Three men out of every four
can get more comfortable, actually smoother shaves with Pamolit brushless
shaving creams. This is not just a claim, here's the proof.
Twelve hundred and ninety seven men tried the Palmolit brushless
way to shave described on the tube, and no matter
how they had shaved before, three men out of every
(27:52):
four got more comfortable, actually smoother shaves.
Speaker 10 (27:56):
Try Parmelin brushless yourself.
Speaker 11 (27:58):
See if you don't get more comfortable, actually smoother shave
the proved Palmli brushless ways.
Speaker 10 (28:06):
This week in Chicago, there's a meeting of great interest
to American housewives, the Golden Jubilee Convention of the National
Association of Retail Grocers. It's specially interesting because of the
service and convenience rendered to women shoppers by these independent
retail grocers in maintaining abundantly stocked shelves of carefully selected
quality products. So important to our homes. It's through the
efforts of these grocers that you get what you want,
(28:27):
when you want it. The Colgate pal mally Pea Company
is proud to send greetings to these ten thousand independent
retail grocers, your good neighbors and ours.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Or mystray liberally sprinkled with laughs.
Speaker 9 (28:38):

Speaker 1 (28:52):
There's the CBS, the Columbia of Art, capta
So your beauty hope and bluster cream shampoo for salt,
glamorous caressible hair, bring you our Miss Brooks, darring Eve Arden.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
For most of us are school dance.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Isn't the most exciting event in the world, But to
our Miss Brooks, who teaches English at Madison High, the
one planned for last Friday night was a most welcome diversion.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
The more so since I was expecting bashful mister Boynton
to peer out of his shell long enough to invite
me to go with him. Anyway, last Friday morning, Missus Davis,
my landlady, and I were discussing the dance at breakfast.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Where did the funds come from for this dance coming?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
We're raising the money by means of a wishing well
in front.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Of the school.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
It's an idea of Harriet Conklin's. Everybody's supposed to throw
in a dime.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
You mean students and faculty members tossing dimes to pay
for refreshments and things.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
That's right, missus day I tossed my diamondto the well yesterday.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
And what did you wish, Connie?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I wished it was.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Only a nickel.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I had a very light lunch if you want to
know my real wish, though you will have to keep
it confidential.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
I won't breathe it to a living soul.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Word of honor.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
May I lose the top propeller on my beanie?
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Well, I wouldn't want you to get arrested for indecent exposure.
I wish that mister Boynton would pay more attention to
me and less to that frog of his.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
McDougall, why, Connie, don't tell me you're jealous of a frog.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
It gets any worse, we'll both be the same color.
I want to be the way he pampers that lumpy brute.
He even took him to the movies last night, said McDougall.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Just loved the picture.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
What did they see?
Speaker 4 (01:54):
What else? Hoop along, Cassidy.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I think you're exaggerating, Tommie. Mister Boynton is very fond
of you.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Oh that must be Walter Dens and he's taking me
to school this morning. Just a minute, Walter, excuse me,
missus Davis, Oh Walder, come in wait.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Let me look at your hair, Miss Brooks. What poised
in the doorway as you are? The sun seems to
strike sparks from your already molten presses.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Oh, don't stand there, stamp me out. Please come in.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Before the flies do.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I just got to run a comb through my blazing.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Presses and we're off, Walder.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Would you care for a glass of milk?
Speaker 5 (02:39):
I just had breakfast an hour ago, but I can
always have a glass of milk and an egg sandwich.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Oh, I forgot you.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Have breakfast ahead of your tapeworm? Hello?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Can I fix something for you?
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Just anything you have in an apple be fine, missus Davis.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
He means just everything you're have in the house of
Give him the quick egg sandwich and some milk.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Very well, I'll.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Be back in a jiffy, Walter, okay, missus d Miss Brooks,
don't you think it was a wonderful idea of Harriet's
to start the wishing well dance.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
I'll let you know after the dance.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
How's the well coming? By the way, raising expenses, the
times are flocking him.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
I was in charge of it for a while yesterday.
Some of the wishes were a scream, Miss Brooks, especially
the ones that the faculty wished about mister conklor.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Our beloved principle.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
I never thought he was.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
So popular with his staff.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
One after another, they all wish that he would get
everything that's coming to him.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
You excuse me, Walter, I'm gonna get my hat.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Oh sure, Miss Brooks, take your time early, here you
are walkay?
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Oh, just one egg sandwich, that'll be all right. Oh,
missus Davis, if you'll just sit real close to me here,
I got a big favorite ass f This is extremely confidential.
I won't breathe a word of it, word of honor,
and may I lose my beanie in the downbraft.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Well.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
The other day at the wishing well, right after I
wheedle a dime out of mister Boynton, Harriet wheedle his wish.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Out of him. But did he wish for Walters?
Speaker 5 (04:15):
He wished for a lock of Miss Brooks's hair.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Oh isn't that romantic? But why doesn't he just ask
her for it?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Because he's too.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Bashful, He says, that's much too personal.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
But even though.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Harriet and I promised on our honor not to mention
it to miss Brooks, we've decided that our first step
is to get him what he wants. When miss Brooks
finds out he's got it, and we'll see she does
find out, then we'll take our next step.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Okay, okay, but what's a first step again?
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Please, there's no time for details. Me, Harriet, and my
pal Stretch all have scissors. But just in case we
don't get the opportunity, we want you to take a
whack out of two. Now, all you have to do
is care to focus her attention on something else and
then snip off a hunk from the back. Say you'll try,
Missus Davis.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Please that wind, Walter, right now is a good time.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Why she's currying herself. Will go ahead, Missus Davis.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
Here's the scissors.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
Just don't let her catch you.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Whatever you do, all right, Walter. If it's to further
her romance, I guess it's worth a tribe. Oh, Connie,
anything I can do to hell?
Speaker 4 (05:22):
No, thank you? Just putting my hat on.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Oh oh, just a minute, Connie, turn around a second.
Just as I thought, what, there's a bug on the
back of your dress.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
A bug? Where? Get him all?
Speaker 3 (05:34):
He's just a ladybug.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Tonny, lady or gentlemen, get him all.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
All right now, Steel says she's gone.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Thanks, This is Davis. Are you sure that was just
a ladybug?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Positive?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Dear?
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Why do you ask?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Because just before you flipped it off, I could swear.
She snaps at me.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Well, here we are, miss Brooks, ten minutes ahead of time,
Thanks Walter.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
I'm glad we're a little early. Gives me a chance
to expose myself to mister Boynton's incipient invitation to the
Dan incipients. He's been threatening to ask me.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
I like to think he'll ask you.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
All right.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
He's intensely interested in you, miss Brooks. I can tell
that the way he looks at you.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Oh you can well have you ever seen him look
at McDougall.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
But believe me, they're two different looks.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
I know one is up and one is down.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
To be getting out now, Oh just a minute, miss Brooks.
So there's something on your.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Collar and my collar.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Is it a ladybug? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (06:41):
I think so.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Here, let me brush it off for you. Turn around.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
She must have come with a suit.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
There's one thing I'm sorry for. It's a ladybug with
a cold.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Well no, no, I was a name, Miss Brooks. Now,
I had to cover up this well, that is, I
should have covered up warmly in bed last night.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Right.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Well, I'll find a place to park and see you
in school.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
All right, Waller happy parking, Thanks, Miss Brooks, and a
happy mister Boynton.
Speaker 7 (07:07):
You good morning, mister Boynton.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
May I come in?
Speaker 8 (07:20):
Oh Miss Brooks, of course, good morning. I was just
straightening out McDougall's cage. Naturally, it's miss Brooks.
Speaker 9 (07:27):
Mac say hello.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
He sounds a little dejected, doesn't he.
Speaker 8 (07:37):
Yes, he has been sleeping well at all. Just tosses
and turns all night long.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
So do I.
Speaker 8 (07:44):
But you don't bruise your sides against wire mesh when
you toss around. If he doesn't prove today, I'm afraid
I won't be able to ask you to go to
the student faculty danced tonight, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Were you going to?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Mister Boynton?
Speaker 4 (07:57):
You get your own date? Why are you? Mister?
Speaker 9 (08:05):
Yes? I was? But mac here.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
I'm getting a.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Little tired of mac here, mister Boydon. Every time we
have a day, something happens to Mac. Last Monday, I
had to eat lunch alone because he had longitis and
you wanted to massage his throat.
Speaker 9 (08:19):
Did him a world of good, didn't it? Mac?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Another Nelson Eddy?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Mac Now shut up? And Wednesday afternoon, when we were
supposed to go for a walk in the park, you
called the cancel that day.
Speaker 9 (08:32):
I had to Mac had a headache.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Oh great, the frog with a headache.
Speaker 9 (08:37):
I can't say I like your attitude, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 8 (08:40):
If you knew the slightest bit about cellular structure, you'd
be aware of the fact that amphibians and humans are
equally susceptible to crany obtain why post orbital pressure on
the squabmosle at the base of a frog's skull can
be most expressing.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Now ain't that a shame?
Speaker 9 (08:56):
Yes, yes it is.
Speaker 8 (08:57):
If you'll think I'm going to a dance while Mcdogal's
squad irritated, You're mistaken. Excuse me, No, I've got to
go to the cafeteria.
Speaker 9 (09:07):
I'm eating a little lettuce for him.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Maybe I can help you.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
I'd make it hot for him.
Speaker 9 (09:13):
You just keep him company until I return.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Well, here we are alone, Max Ooh, don't worry.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
I'm not going to do anything to you.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
But just between you and me, Max, you're nothing but
a big pain in the school mosal.

a little free time which I was determined to employ
in a really constructive manner. So I hastened to my
desk and promptly did some first rate brooding. It wasn't long, however,
(11:19):
before my rancid reverie was interrupted. Stretched nod Grass Madison
star athletes paid me a little visit. Although Stretches splendidly
equipped physically mentally, he doesn't go along with a gag
anyhow While I sat with my head in my hands
muttering voodoo curses against my arch rival, MacDougal, Stretched slipped

into my room, tiptoed up to my desk and.
Speaker 13 (11:43):
Murmured, Hymus Brooks, Can I see you for a minute?
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Please, Stretch?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
May I see you for a minute?
Speaker 13 (11:52):
Stretchmas Brooks. You don't need no permission to see me.
Speaker 9 (11:55):
I'm just a student.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
I come down, wonder of whattch What can I do
for you?
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Well?
Speaker 13 (12:04):
First of all, you can stop snag Mulligan from calling
me names in class.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Name Yeah, he says, Stretch, don't describe.
Speaker 9 (12:11):
Me good enough.
Speaker 13 (12:12):
He's telling everybody to call me Sano sanno. Well, they're
the cigarettes with the nicotine removed.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
What has that got to do with you?
Speaker 13 (12:21):
He says, I'm the school boy with the brain removed?
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Did he get a hold of your X rays? Can
I cut it down?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Now?
Speaker 4 (12:30):
What else can I do for you? Nothing?
Speaker 13 (12:32):
Miss Brooks? But I was thinking maybe there's something I can.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Do for you for me, But Stretch, nobody calls me names.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
In fact, nobody calls me at all lately.
Speaker 13 (12:41):
It's about the dance, Miss Brooks, the wishing Well dance.
It's for faculty and students, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Yeah, well, I realize that.
Speaker 13 (12:49):
I mean, when it comes to romantic stuff and things
like that, I'm no mister Boyton.
Speaker 8 (12:55):
Neither is he.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
What I'm trying to say.
Speaker 13 (12:59):
Is Brooks is well, have you been spoken for yet?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Not exactly, Stretch. That is, I was just about to
be spoken for her when I was croked at.
Speaker 13 (13:09):
You mean, mister Boynt, is not taking you not so far?
Then I would consider it a very high type honor
if you could see your way clearly?
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Was scarting me to the dance quite Stretch, how chivalrous.
Speaker 13 (13:23):
Now, Please don't go get any wrong ideas, Miss Brooks.
That is, I don't think a person should be led.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
On to you, definitely not.
Speaker 13 (13:32):
Then you'll understand when I tell you right out, I'm
not in love with you, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
That's what I like, a nice clean break how hands
and dragging these things out or it.
Speaker 13 (13:45):
Isn't that I'm not terribly fond of you, it's just well,
there's a difference in our ages.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Oh I know, Stretch, I'm old enough to be your cousin.
Speaker 13 (13:57):
If you don't have to give me your final answer
about the dancer to later, Miss Brooks. After all, I
think mister poynt not to.
Speaker 14 (14:02):
Get another crack at you.
Speaker 13 (14:08):
I mean, he's really gone on you.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I was taking him too long to get back now, Stretch,
I'm a little tired of playing second fiddle to a frog.
I may not go to the dance at all.
Speaker 13 (14:19):
I'm sorry you feel that way, Miss Brooks, but I'll
check back with you after school. Oh, before I go,
would you mind turning your head towards the window. I
think there's something on your back.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
On my back, it's not that ladybug again, ladybug.
Speaker 11 (14:33):
Oh yeah, that's just what it is.
Speaker 13 (14:35):
A hold still mount, I'll.
Speaker 15 (14:36):
Brush it off.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Eh, all gone.
Speaker 13 (14:40):
Oh there's one more thing. I had some kind of
a message for you. It's bothered me all morning. Oh yeah,
mister Conklin wants to see you in his office.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Mister Conklin, when did he give you that message?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Stretch this morning? On the way into school this morning?
But what time did he say you wanted to see me?
He said immediately. But it's too late for that now,
so you might as well take your time.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
This book so long?
Speaker 16 (15:02):
Fano hi ho hi ho as off?
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Why not I go?
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I was said, Oh, oh, I'm fine, Miss Brook. I
didn't see you, thanks Harriet.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
I have been losing weight lately.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I'm just going in to see your father. Is Madison's
esteen principle in a good mood.
Speaker 15 (15:25):
Wonderful for death. I just fond the receipts from the
wishing well, Miss Brook. That's what he wants to see
you about. He's got a surprise for you.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Surprise.
Speaker 8 (15:33):
What is it?
Speaker 15 (15:34):
It wouldn't be a surprise anymore if I told you.
But miss Brook, before you go in to see daddy,
there's somebody else wants to see you. Somebody you'd rather
see than Daddy.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I know that could be anybody, Harriet. More specific, it's
mister Boynton.
Speaker 15 (15:49):
He told me to tell you to drop into.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
His lab as soon as.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
You come to time.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
When did he tell you that, Harriet? Oh, Alfo, the
Pony Express was faster than you kids.
Speaker 15 (15:58):
Oh just a minute, Brooks, before you go. You better
turn around a minute. There's something on your collar, you too,
What is it, Harry?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I'll get it.
Speaker 15 (16:06):
Off for you. It's it's a small piece of yarn.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Now, isn't that free? My lady bug must be knitting
me some socks.
Speaker 9 (16:20):
Thanks very much, mister Jenson.
Speaker 8 (16:22):
These scissors will certainly come in handy.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
I beg your pardon, mister Boynton, but these sitges won't
come in at all. They may be brought in, but
they most certainly will not come in. But what you
said these dishes will certainly come in handy. Then I
said they may be brought in, but they most certainly
will not come here. And I meant just that.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Ever since I've.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
Been custodian here at Madison, I've tried to get people
to eliminate meaning misstrages from their conversations.
Speaker 9 (16:57):
I know you have, miss you say.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
The scissors will come in, you are attributing a mobility
to an object which has none. Now to tell the truth,
mister Boynton, have you ever seen sisters coming into a
place under their own powers?
Speaker 9 (17:11):
I have? But if you don't mind, I'm expecting somebody.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
Even if I did mind, you'd still be expecting them.
But if you tidn't my curiosity, Mister Boyton, why did
you want these PsyS?
Speaker 9 (17:27):
Well, it's rather a personal reason, missus Jensen. But no,
I don't mind telling you.
Speaker 8 (17:31):
I wanted a lock of someone's hair for quite a
while now, and I finally must have enough courage to
try to get it.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Oh, is is that romance? Who is the hair? E?
Mister Boyton? Whose lock of hair do you want?
Speaker 9 (17:50):
Well, it's miss Brooks. Between you and me that.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
Would be a little crowded with hair if you do
want to lock of their hair. I certainly certainly wish
you good luck. I'll have to be going now. I
hope I haven't offended you by indulging in my little hobby.
Speaker 9 (18:10):
Not at all, mister Jensen.
Speaker 8 (18:11):
And about those scissors coming in handy, I get your point, Hey,
I get your point about the scissors.
Speaker 9 (18:20):
It's a good one, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (18:23):
No, not day a good time at your point?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Power things?
Speaker 6 (18:35):
What things?
Speaker 4 (18:37):
I don't know everything.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
You've got a new baby at home, haven't you.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
Yes, it's Brooks, one new one and five used ones.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Tig children to think of it, it's hard not to.
Speaker 15 (18:52):
That's the latest.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Is he big?
Speaker 6 (18:54):
Reasonably large?
Speaker 9 (18:55):
Yees?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Have you named him yet?
Speaker 6 (18:57):
Yes, we named him.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
What did you call him, mister Benson?
Speaker 6 (19:01):
No, we didn't call him, mister Jensen.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
That's my name.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
There must be another route to the laboratory.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
You have a new baby, mister Jensen. What is his name?
Speaker 6 (19:14):
His name is Lucy. Well, if you'll excuse me, miss Broods,
I'll be running along.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Oh now i've caught you, mister Jensen.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
You won't actually be running.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Along at all?
Speaker 6 (19:28):
Oh yes I will? Goodniye, miss Broods.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Well some days you just can't win.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
I beg your pardon, mister Boton.
Speaker 9 (19:42):
What did you do?
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Oh? Now, don't you start that? Harriet told me you
wanted to see me.
Speaker 9 (19:48):
Oh I do, Miss Brooks. It's about this morning. I
didn't like the way we started.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Neither did I, mister Boynton.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
But you had to get some hot letters for the
King of the Croakers.
Speaker 9 (19:58):
Please Brooks, don't be angry. Yeah, that's all over now,
and Maxfield Max Fields much better.
Speaker 8 (20:03):
In fact, if he keeps on improving today, I'd very
much like to take you to the wishing Well.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Dance tonight, you would, mister Boyne.
Speaker 9 (20:10):
Yes, indeed.
Speaker 8 (20:11):
And there's something else I'd like to do too, right now,
there is, Yes, there is. Would you turn your head
a bit please like this? No, not up toward me,
away from me. Better turn all the way around.
Speaker 9 (20:27):
But why, mister Boynton, there's something on the color of
your suit. It's probably just a loose thread. Here, I'll
slip it off for you.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
There is that all, mister Boyton.
Speaker 9 (20:37):
Yes, mister Brooks, that's all.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Then.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
I guess I'll be running over to mister Conklin's office
for some warmth and affection.
Speaker 8 (20:44):
Just a minute, miss Brooks, you won't actually be running,
Oh yes I will.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Goodbye, mister Boyne.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Excuse me, mister Conklin, but I got an that you.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Wanted to see me.
Speaker 10 (21:01):
How was it delivered by pack mules?
Speaker 6 (21:05):
I'll never mind, miss Brooks.
Speaker 9 (21:06):
There's no time for apologies.
Speaker 17 (21:08):
I've been considering various members of the Faculty for the
position of executive hostess at the wishing.
Speaker 9 (21:13):
Well Dance tonight.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Yes, mister Conston, your name was.
Speaker 17 (21:15):
The first to pop into my mind, and as quickly
as I could.
Speaker 9 (21:19):
I popped it out.
Speaker 17 (21:21):
However, due severe pressure from my wife and daughter, I
hereby appoint you Miss wishing Well of nineteen forty nine.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Do you think I'm deep enough? Thanks very much, mister Confon.
Speaker 10 (21:34):
This is not merely an honorary title, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 8 (21:36):
I've invited several members of the Board of.
Speaker 17 (21:38):
Education to attend, and it will be your duty to
see that the entire affair is run off.
Speaker 9 (21:43):
Without a hit.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Well, I'll try my best, mister Conflon. Will I be
in charge of purchasing refreshment?
Speaker 17 (21:47):
You will, Harriet will turn over the funds that were collected,
and I suggest that you enlist the aid of one
of the male members of the faculty to help carry
the bundle.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
I have a biology teacher in the balcony, doctor that is.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
I'm sure Miss Appointing will be glad to help.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Yeah, that's all, yes, sir, goodbye, mister Conklin, goodbye.
Speaker 17 (22:07):
Oh just the moment, Miss Brooks, come back to my
Deskine what is it, mister con I'd like to take
a look at the back of your head, Just as
I thought, Miss Brooks, you are hereby relieved of all
duties at the dance tonight.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
But I don't understand, mister Countlor.
Speaker 10 (22:22):
Furthermore, I forbid you even to put in an appearance.
But why I told you the Board.
Speaker 17 (22:27):
Of Education would be there, Miss Brooks, and I flatly
refused to have them see one of my teachers.
Speaker 9 (22:32):
Wearing a butch haircut.
Speaker 8 (22:43):
And this is what makes the platypus your neque hell
that's off today, class dismissed.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
Excuse me, mister Boynton, But I've got something you want here.
It's a lot of miss Brook's hair.
Speaker 9 (22:57):
A lot of Miss Brook's hair. How did you know
I want?
Speaker 15 (23:00):
Harriet told me.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
But don't worry, mister Boynton. Your secret hasn't gone any
further than Harriet and me and stretching missus Davis.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Don't get me.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
I'm in on it too, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 9 (23:11):
Miss Brooks, I hardly know what to say.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Well I do. First of all, I'm quite flattered to
learn that you want a lock of my hair. Second day,
I'm happy to find out why everybody's had me turning
around like a whirling.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Dervish all day.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
It's the point you got a lock on my last bin.
Speaker 9 (23:26):
Didn't you? Yes, I did, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Woul the lock waller's giving you. You have two? Would
you like to try for four?
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Brooks Go ahead, take the more. I'll just tell people
a funny thing happened to me while I was bending
over my mix masters course. If you will just be patient,
I'm sure some fresh returns will be coming in momentarily.
Speaker 14 (23:51):
But I got a hellow, Miss brooks Well, I guess
I'll be running along though.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Open your fifth stretch. You're taking all the curl out
of my curl.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
She wis to a stretch. Just hand it over, yes, and.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
Don't rush off.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
We should be hearing from another hairy precinct any minute.
I'd like to give you this, oh high, Miss brooks
Well to buss to Boyton, Wait a minute, Harriet, drop
it in the collection plate and sit down.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
He knows all about it, Harriet.
Speaker 15 (24:22):
But how did you find out, Miss brook.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
A little ladybug told me.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Look, mister Boyne, now that you have as much of
my hair as I have, I think I'll buy you
a family sized lockets in which to carry it.
Speaker 9 (24:34):
I didn't want it to carry Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
You didn't, then, would you mind explaining, mister Boyne.
Speaker 8 (24:39):
It's rather embarrassing, Miss Brooks. But well, you see, I've
sewn together this piece of cheese cloth, and I figured
if I could stuff it with some real fluffy hair,
it'd make a nice pillow for McDougall's head. It may
help curious insomnia. I was hoping you wouldn't mind, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Why should I mind? He's been in my hair long enough,
he might as well be on it.
Speaker 10 (25:16):
Evartin as our Miss Brooks returns in just a moment.
Speaker 14 (25:19):
But first, dream Girl, dream Girl, Beautiful, luster.
Speaker 10 (25:25):

brings you Kdoman's magic formula blend of secret ingredients plus
gentle lanolin gives loveliness, lather even in hardest water, glamorizes

Speaker 14 (26:08):
Dream girl's dream girl. Beautiful Luster Cream. You you're cunning, glorious,
a lost cream shampool, and now once again here is
our Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Well, mister Conklin relented and gave me permission to attend
the dance, but not until I had repossessed my missing
curls and stuck them back on with some scotch tape.
At any rate, mister Boynton seemed satisfied with my appearance.
Speaker 9 (26:41):
You look lovely, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 8 (26:43):
Something tells me we're gonna have a wonderful time to see.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
I hope, so, mister Boyton, and I must admit that
I am very pleasantly surprised to find that you're not
worrying about that frog of yours.
Speaker 8 (26:53):
Why should I worry about him, Miss Brooks. McDougall's fine. Now,
how about this dance?
Speaker 9 (26:57):
I think they're going to play a waltz.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Oh, I'd love it, mister.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
My second thought, you two go ahead, I'll cut in later.
Speaker 1 (27:13):

This week in Chicago, there's a meeting of great interest
to American housewives, the Golden Jubilee Convention of the National
Association of Retail Grocers. It's specially interesting because of the
service and convenience rendered to women shoppers by these independent
retail grocers in maintaining abundantly stocked shelves of carefully selected
quality products. So important to our homes. It's through the
efforts of these grocers that you get what you want,
(28:27):
