An American Tragedy ( )

Mar-Mis Brooks starring Eve Arden. Mar-Mis Brooks, who teaches English at Madison High School, has been going with Philip Boynton for quite some time now, six years to be exact. But only once or twice during that period did she have to worry about the eternal triangle.

And that's not unusual when your boyfriend is the eternal square. Still, I must admit, I did see green about two weeks ago when Mr. Boynton began dating a young society beauty named Lucy Fairchild. I got angry, we had an argument, and I finally asked Mr. Boynton to choose between us.

Did he want a beautiful young society girl with a million dollars or a steadily employed English teacher with a guaranteed pension in twenty years? Godly enough he chose me. And to make my happiness complete, our beloved principal Mr. Conklin invited the two of us to spend this past weekend with him and Mrs. Conklin

that they're cabin on Crystal Lake. Friday morning, my land lady was in my room with me, helping me pack when she suddenly began to get sentimental. Connie, do you realize this is the first time we've been separated in almost a year?

Oh, I am going to miss you, dear. Promise me you'll write every day. But Mrs. Davis, I'm only going to be gone two days. I'd be home before the first letter reached you. How nice. Then we could both sit down and read it together.

Better still, why don't I write the letter now and let you read it to me while I'm packing? I know just what I'd say in it. I tell you what a wonderful time I'm having with Mr. Boynton.
