Well the past few days haven't been easy ones for our Miss Brooks Who teaches English at Madison High School?
It seems that she has called upon to assume additional duties whenever Mr. Conklin Madison's beloved principal loses a secretary At breakfast Thursday morning, Miss Brooks discussed her plight with her landlady. It's not only the added work that bothers me, Mrs. Davis. It's Mr. Conklin's temper.
I knew Connie. Osgood is a natural born sour bowl. Lemon flavored. No wonder he can't keep a secretary. Why do you realize that since the fall term started, he's lost three of them? Three secretaries in a month. How is that possible?
Is that possible? Well, the first one lasted a week. She quit because she couldn't stand as yelling. The second one quit after four days for the same reason, and the third secretary left before she even started.
Why did the third one quit? She heard sour balls screaming at the second one. He has another one coming over today, and believe me, it's not a minute too soon. You've been doing an awful lot of extra work this past week.
Has Mr. Conklin given you anything for it? He's given me plenty, but I just don't listen. What annoys me more than anything else, though, is his latest suggestion that I need glasses. Glasses? But your vision is 20-20, isn't it?
Sure, sure. At least as far as I know. But I made a few mistakes in typing yesterday, and he insisted that I stop in and have an optometrist this morning and get a prescription for glasses.
