Twin Orphans ( )

Armist Brooks, starring Eve Arden. One of the problems almost every city in town is faced with is the overcrowded conditions of our public schools. Armist Brooks, who teaches English at Madison High, is keenly aware of the situation.

Yes, indeed. In fact, my classroom is so crowded, it's a shame to waste it on children. Last Thursday morning, before class, Walter Denzen was helping me bring in additional chairs to accommodate my extra students.

That would be enough chairs, Miss Brooks. How many students do you have in your first class? I don't know, well, her, but every time I stand up in front of them, I feel like I'm calling Playball at the Anki Stadium.

No, by actual count, they're a 48. Yeah, but they're only 47 chairs. I know. Unless we dig up another, I'm afraid one of my English students will have to open the window and sit outside.

You may I? No, you may not. I was only fooling. Yeah, I wasn't. As if all due respect to your remarkable talents as a teacher, English isn't exactly my favorite subject, Miss Brooks. Sometimes it practically anesthetizes me.

Perhaps that explains why you managed to sleep through it like a baby. You have to move this desk back a bit, will you? Miss Sure. Yeah. He doesn't there. That'll give us just enough room to squeeze in one more chair.

I don't know what I'll do if any more students are assigned to this dinky classroom of minewalter. I'm not sure if you could find Walter. Hey, I've got an idea. You know how large Mr. Boynton's biology lab is, Miss Brooks?

Why don't you double up with him? I mean, each of you could utilize half the lab in teaching your respective subjects. You know, sharing a desk, right smack in the middle, see? I see, but it wouldn't be practical.
