What happens
Miss Brooks, an English teacher at Madison High School, is eager to advance her career and hopes her principal, Mr. Conklin, will recommend her as head of the English department. Conklin, meanwhile, has separated her students Walter Denton, Harriet Conklin and Stretch Snodgrass into different classes, and he proposes a faculty cheerleader for the football season. Our Miss Brooks, starring Eve Arden, is the single episode in the Our Miss Brooks series, first broadcast on CBS Radio on September 18, 1949. Gale Gordon, Jeff Chandler and Richard Crenna also appear in the cast. Miss Brooks visits the biology lab, where she and Mr. Boynton discuss their room assignments and their feelings about each other.

Listen for: Conklin's plan to become faculty cheerleader and his campaign at the afternoon assembly, and Miss Brooks's bargain with him over the students' transfers.
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.
