What happens

Our Miss Brooks, an English teacher at Madison High School, is invited by Philip Boynton to a school snowball dance, and she plans to attend. Her student Walter Denton lends her skis with his own binding invention, the Denton Claw, which will not release her feet. Stuck on the skis in her classroom, Miss Brooks must hide them from Principal Conklin while she teaches. The transcript ends with Miss Brooks and Mr. Boynton heading toward the hill for a ski outing before the dance. Starring Eve Arden, the Our Miss Brooks episode aired on CBS Radio on February 25, 1951.

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.
