What happens
Our Miss Brooks, a comedy series, presents this 1953 episode, first broadcast on CBS Radio on October 11, 1953, with Eve Arden and Gale Gordon in the leading roles. Principal Conklin is delighted to learn the school board will award him a plaque for distinguished service to Madison High. Walter Denton, a student, has sent a fake telegram to Conklin as a prank, and Miss Brooks becomes involved in trying to keep the scheme from unravelling. Her efforts to undo the trouble lead to a series of mix-ups among the school staff.

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.
