Transcript

Pama like so for your beauty hope and lustre cream shampoo for soft glamorous caressible hair bring you our Miss Brooke starring Eve Arden. Most school teachers try to cooperate with their principals and our Miss Brooks who teaches English at Madison High School is no exception but with her principal as good Conklin it isn't always easy. Last Monday for instance he instituted his wake-up

plan, a series of early morning calisthenics for the faculty. Attendance, of course, was purely voluntary. You could either show up in the morning or make up your mind to live on relatives for a while.

Mr. Conklin started the exercises to combat the restlessness that seems to come with spring. I wouldn't know about that though because I missed the first three sessions. That's why I slept in the other twin bed in Mrs. Davis' room on Wednesday night.

She's my land lady and pretty absent-minded about most things, but she promised to wake me promptly at seven. We retired about 10 p.m. and I fell asleep almost at once. Connie. Oh Connie are you asleep? Are you asleep Connie?

Oh, well what is it? What's the matter? Nothing dear, but if you're going to get up earlier than usual you need all the rest you can get. I'm glad you were sleeping so soundly and it's only 11 o'clock.

Oh great, I'm way ahead. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll take up where I left off. Oh right, Connie. Oh Connie. Connie! Now don't worry about anything. I mean, I slept all day yesterday, so I'll probably be wide awake plenty of time to get you up in the morning. Thanks, Mrs. Davis. Hmm, that's nice to know.
