Visiting Basketball Coach

Mrs. Brooks starring Eve Arden. Many romances are flourished behind the ivy-covered walls of an institution of learning. But to our Mrs. Brooks who teaches English at Madison High School, romance is quite a problem. Especially when the object of her attention doesn't seem to return her affection.

It isn't that Mr. Boynton doesn't return my affection. It's just that he never even borrows it. Last Friday morning at breakfast I told my landlady of my latest disappointment. Can you imagine, Mrs. Davis, just as we were leaving school yesterday, he broke our date for this afternoon.

Oh, that's too bad, Connie. Did he give any reason? Oh, just some vague excuse about having to go down to the biology supply house. What burns me up is the fact that I had such great plans.

It was to be such an exciting day. Really? Forever you and Mr. Boynton going on your date. To the zoo. That's the one place that might give him the right ideas. What do you mean, Connie?

In this weather, you should see those animals huddle together. Oh, well, I might as well forget about it. Maybe you can get Mr. Boynton to take you to the zoo tomorrow, Connie. Not a chance, Mrs. Davis.

There's a basketball game at school tomorrow, and you know what a fan Mr. Boynton is. He wouldn't miss that game for anybody. Of course, he told me that I could tag along if I wanted to.

If you'll pardon me for saying so, Connie. I think you've just hit upon the root of all your difficulty. Mr. Boyton takes you too much for granted. Do you really think so? Definitely. All he has to do is pucker up and whistle and you're all right there.
