Transcript

I'm Aleksos, your beauty hope and bluster cream shampoo for soft glamorous, caressible hair Bring you our Miss Brooks starring Eve Arden Our Miss Brooks teaches English at Madison High School And like many other teachers started a brand new semester last Monday And like many other teachers, I attended a faculty meeting Monday afternoon

Here our beloved principal, Osgoode Conklin, gave me my semi-annual pat on the bag Then I picked myself up and walked back across the room And he instituted his new crack-down plan. More discipline, less horse play, everybody tow the line, run the school in an orderly manner.

After this merciful-provoking monologue, he chewed up a little furniture and stalked out. Well, maybe it was the faculty meeting, or then again, maybe it was the watercress and cucumber sandwich I had before retiring. At any rate, I remember lying in bed Monday night and dozing off.

When suddenly I seemed to be awakened by a loud pounding at my door. What is it? Who's there? It is I, Osgoode Conklin, your beloved principal. I'm coming in. Mr. Conklin, is anything wrong? Wrong, but plenty wrong. We've got to crack down. More discipline, less horseplay.

Everybody tow the line. Run the school in an orderly manner. But Mr. Conklin, is this your idea of less horse play? I was fast asleep. Oh, and I hope I'm not disturbing you. I'll go right on sleeping.

Good. Miss Brooks, I've got to talk to you. Well, pull up at you, Conversand. Richard, sit down. Thank you. Mr. Conklin, you're biting the arm of my chair. Erm, yes, so I am. Sorry, but you know how I get when I'm up there.
