What happens
Miss Brooks, an English teacher at Madison High School, is eager to attend a teachers' convention in Evanston with biology teacher Mr. Boynton. When Mr. Boynton is reported sick and Miss Enright seems poised to take her place, Miss Brooks becomes suspicious of a scheme. The episode is from the Our Miss Brooks series, which aired on CBS Radio on August 21, 1955, starring Eve Arden, Gale Gordon, Jeff Chandler and Richard Crenna. The story follows Miss Brooks as she tries to keep her place on the trip, with the rivalry with Miss Enright building through a series of mishaps and misunderstandings at school.

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.
