Clay City English Teacher

Pama live soap, your beauty hope, and bluster cream shampoo for soft glamorous, caressible hair bring you our Miss Brooks starring E. Varden! Our Miss Brooks teaches English at Madison High School. And like most other teachers, she tries to stay on the best of terms with her principal, Mr. Osgoode Conklin.

This isn't always easy. You see, Mr. Conklin has high blood pressure, and it's wise to take him with a grain of salt. Of course it's wiser not to take him at all. Anyway, on Thursday he gave me a little honorary assignment to take care of on my own time, which consisted of a report he had to submit to the school board.

I was to rephrase, punctuate and proofread the 25 pages by morning, and sure enough I got it all done by morning. In fact, when Mrs. Davis, my landlady, awakened me, I had been sleeping like a baby for over 20 minutes.

You seem all upset, dear. What's the trouble? Nightmare? No, daymare. I was up all night with some extra work, Mr. Confun gave me. Oh, well, I guess you can use the extra money that goes with it.

Money? What money? Surely there must be some compensation for working away from the school. Oh, there is, Mrs. Davis. The satisfaction of a job well done. The thrill of helping my colleagues in their time of need and the gratification that comes with the knowledge that I've assisted my superior officer on the battlefield of life.

And you know something else, Mrs. Davis. What, Connie? The next time I work at home, it'll cost him a fin. Well, remember this, dear. Money won't buy back your health and good looks once they've gone.
