The Auction

Colgate Dettlecream to clean your breath while you clean your teeth and help stop tooth decay and luster cream shampoo for soft glamorous caressible hair bring you our Miss Brooks starring Eve Arden. It's time once again for another comedy episode of our Miss Brooks written by Al Lewis.

Well, with spring up on us bigger and better playgrounds for children are the order of the day. Madison High School where our Miss Brooks teaches English promptly volunteered to help its local chamber of commerce collect funds for this worthy cause.

That's why our beloved principal, Osgoode Conklin, called us into his office early Friday morning. Us consisted of Mr. Boynton and myself as faculty advisors, Walter Denton, the student who runs the school paper, and Harriet Conklin, the student who runs Walter Denton.

As soon as we were all seated, Mr. Conklin addressed us. We are here to discuss a project which is near and dear to my heart. Children's playgrounds in this community. I'm sure I cannot overemphasize the importance of the little ones in our present day civilization.
