Pama like so your beauty hope and lustre cream shampoo for soft glamorous caressible hair bring you our Miss Brooks starring E. Varden. Miss Brooks who teaches English at Madison High School has always hoped that some day she would head her department but with Mrs. Emma Finch holding down the job for the past five years it didn't look like Connie Brooks would ever get a
crack at it until last week. It was right before the final exams that Mr. Conklin, our principal, told me Mrs. Finch was not only retiring from the position but actually leaving the school. When I asked him why, he blushed and replied, because it's best for all concerns. Oddly enough, it was our bashful biology teacher, Mr. Boynton,
who finally told me the reason. We were alone in his laboratory at the time, and he said, Mrs. Brooks, Mrs. Finch is going to have a B.A.B.Y. I guess he put it that way so as not to embarrass some young rabbits who were listening. Anyway, Friday morning at breakfast I was talking to my land lady Mrs. David's about it. Well what do you
think Mrs. Davis do you suppose I'll get the job? I can't see any reason if I shouldn't. Honestly, but can you see any reasons why I should Mrs. David? No I can't see any of those either. It's up to Mr. Conklin to recommend the new department head to the board of education, isn't it?
Yes, it is. Well, how do you stand with him? How do you mean, Mrs. Davis? Have you been, um, curious, um, co-author of this, uh, obedience and, uh, um, respectful? Uh, no, uh, no, uh, no, and maybe I better forget the whole thing.
