I'm Olive Soph, your beauty hope and lustre cream shampoo for soft glamorous, caressable hair bring you our Miss Brooke starring Eve Arden. So, teaches English at Madison High School is as fond of sports as most of us, but somehow basketball was never one of her favorites.
It isn't that I don't like basketball, I just hate it. This aversion started when I was refereeing a game in Teacher's College, And in the excitement, I swallowed the whistle. Of course it was only a small whistle, but it gets pretty embarrassing when every time you hiccup traffic stops.

All right, Mrs. Davis, where's my robe? I sent it out to the laundry, Connie. Here I brought you on a mind wear. This was part of my true soul. I took it along on my honeymoon.
