What happens

Miss Brooks, an English teacher at Madison High, and her colleagues learn that Cosmopolitan magazine plans a feature on their school, and the news sends everyone into a flurry of vanity. Principal Osgoode Conklin, a rival teacher Miss Enright, and fellow teacher Walter Denham each become preoccupied with the photographer, Mr. Haney, and whether they will appear in the piece. Conklin forbids unauthorized photographs under a school rule, which leaves the staff anxious about their jobs. This is the single episode of Our Miss Brooks in the OTRR Our Miss Brooks Singles collection, originally broadcast on CBS Radio on May 31, 1953, starring Eve Arden.

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.
