Transcript

I'm all exo for your beauty hope and lustre cream shampoo for soft glamorous caressible hair bring you our Miss Brooke starring Eve Arden. She teaches English at Madison High School as always tried to get along with her fellow faculty members regardless of whether they're male or female.

One thing that school teachers of either sex have in common is the fact that he, she, or them was is and are underpaid. But there is one definite advantage held by the men. When a male school teacher has enough money to go to the movies, he can stay home and look at the pictures on his Esquire calendar.

I've overcome that advantage to some slight extent by making my own calendar. I've used twelve snapshots, one for each month, of Madison's bashful biologist Philip Boynton. There they are, right on my bedroom wall. January, Mr. Boynton and his up-to-the-minute raccoon coat.

February, Mr. Boynton on Valentine's Day with a big red heart-shaped box under his arm, containing flies for his frog McDougall. Then March, Mr. Boynton in plus fours, a striped blazer, and a three-propeller beanie. Last Friday morning, when I tore the page for March off my calendar, there was Mr. Boynton with his arms around me, so I knew it was April Fool's Day.

My land lady, Mrs. Davis, knocked on my door a moment later. Come in. Good morning, Connie. Many happy returns of the day. Thanks, Mrs. Davis. Happy April Fool's Day to you. Well, what time is it anyway? I'm still sleepy.

It's almost 7, Connie. I've been up for hours planning little tricks to play on people. people. Well I hope you're not going to be as naughty as you were last year, setting fire crackers off in our yard to make everybody think it was Fourth of July.
