Bring you our Miss Brooks, starring Eve Arden. Although it was a difficult decision to make, our Miss Brooks, who teaches English at Madison High School, finally made it. So after five years of practically going steady with Philip Boynton, last week she finally gave the green light to other men.
Yes, last week I gave them the green light, and since then they've acted as though my street is under repairs. You know. However, I did meet a salesman named Freddie Stewart. And when a girl has spent five years being taken to a hot dog, stand for dinner, a movie, and then a soda fountain afterward,
anything would seem like a change. So Wednesday night, I went out with Freddie. And the evening seemed most enjoyable. The hot dogs were delicious. The movie great and the double multids were out of this world.
But a far greater interest than my latest acquaintance was my landlady's new heartthrob. For the past two weeks Mrs. Davis had been trying to conceal her little romance and I had been trying to conceal my curiosity.
By breakfast time Thursday I could no longer bear the suspense. But before I could ask her about it Mrs. Davis posed a question of her own. I suppose you've been wondering where I've been spending my evenings in the last few weeks.
The question did cross my mind. Well, dear, I've been going with the most wonderful man. Oh, Connie, he's so worldly, so swab, so given here, so romantic. Who is he, Mrs. Davis? Henry, our butcher.
Our butcher? Yes, that's the man who's been dating me. And I have further news for you. Now hold on to your seat, dear. I'm even thinking of marrying him. Well, that's one way of being sure of the choice cuts.
