What happens
Leroy Gildersleeve dreads returning to Summerfield High School, where his friend Marshall Bullard is leaving for an eastern prep school, and he chafes at his uncle's expectations. His uncle, Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve, insists he attend anyway. When the new school year begins, Leroy is assigned to Miss Nguyen's class, and his attitude suddenly changes. His uncle, pleased by the turnaround, begins planning Leroy's future and considers a college scholarship. The series, from NBC in 1945, stars Harold Peary, with Willard Waterman, Lillian Randolph and Lurene Tuttle also in the cast.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
