Pom-Olic sold your beauty hope and lustre cream shampoo for soft glamourous, caressible hair, bring you our Miss Brooke starring Eve Arden! Cricy Cole, Friday the 13th, brings a feeling of impending misfortune. But our Miss Brooks, who teaches English at Madison High School, doesn't believe in such superstition.
No, indeed. I don't need any special day to be unlucky. In fact, ladders shy away when I come near them, and every mirror in the house has seven years bad luck, Because I'm always broke.
That's Friday with no exception. Have you ever opened your eyes in the morning and felt that everything was going to go wrong that day? And then realized that you'd already made your first mistake by opening your eyes?
Well, that's how I felt on Friday when Mrs. Davis entered my room. Up you go, Kali. Up up up. Rise and shine. I'm up, Mrs. Davis. Up we go, out of the sack and hit the deck.
I'm hitting, I'm hitting. When you're down and off, let's stop your heads and shout, it's going to be a great day. Well, I'll try it. It's going to be a great day. It's going to be nothing and I know it.
Why, Kanye, I'm surprised at you. You're not nervous about it being Friday the 13th are you? Oh, certainly not, Mrs. Davis. Well, I am. And so is Minerva. The cat? Yes. Especially after what happened to her this morning.
What was that? A black dog crossed her path. Now cheer up, Connie. You'll feel better when you've got a nice breakfast under your belt. Breakfast? Yes, that should help. Then you'll go to school and you'll see your pupils and your friends on the faculty.
