 Palm olive soap, your beauty hope, and luster cream shampoo for soft glamorous caressible hair bring you our Miss Brooke starring Eve Arden. August 12th marked the end of summer school duties for the nation's teachers. Among them our Miss Brooks who teaches English at Madison High School. Yes August is the month when school teachers heed the siren call of travel and see such wonders as the Taj Mahal, the Eiffel Tower, and the Coliseum at Rome. Then they finish their popcorn and leave the newsreel theater. Last Friday morning I left my bedroom and made the long trek to the dinette where my landlady Mrs. Davis greeted me with some breakfast. I hope you enjoy your orange juice better than I did mine Connie. What was the matter with yours Mrs. Davis? It was too hard. Guess I didn't take it out of the freezer in time. I have a brand new deep freeze you know. It was a gift. You too? My brother Victor sent it over. He's such a dear. But Connie, why did you have to get up so early today? Summer school's all over with isn't it? Yes but I've got an appointment at the hairdressers. An appointment at the hairdressers usually signifies a date with a certain biology teacher. Are you having lunch with Mr. Boynton Connie? You should be a fortune teller Mrs. Davis. Oh that's funny. I just got in a brand new supply of tea leaves. Now you wait right here and I'll brew some. Not now Mrs. Davis. Walter Dentons do any minute to give me a lift. Oh is your car in the shop again? Yes I dented my radiator pretty badly the other day. I got a ticket too for passing a car on the left. But that's not illegal passing a car on the left. It is when the car is approaching you. I appreciate this hitch Walter and it's a beautiful day for a ride. Yeah it sure is Ms. Brooks. Notice anything different about the car? The car? Well yes the top is down. But Walter this wasn't a convertible. It was a club coop with a hard top. Sure. What did you do take the top off? I didn't have to. It fell off. 12 of us went for a ride the other night and that's when it happened. 12? Walter you shouldn't put 12 people in one car. Oh they weren't all in the car. Six of them were on top. That's why I caved in I guess. I guess. I hope no one was hurt. No no fortunately there were all girls inside and they're pretty soft. Got a little annoyed though. She likes the car better with the top on. Oh say that reminds me. I promised to give her you to lift downtown also Ms. Brooks. Her dad left the house early this morning and he's got their car. Do you mind if we pick her up on the way? Not at all Walter but please make it snappy. Okay she lives right down this block. Is that snappy enough for you? Great. We can pick up my head on the way back. Oh there's Harriet on the porch with her mother. You don't have to dare. Okay Harriet. Ms. Brooks. Who? Ms. Brooks. That's what we teachers need publicity. I'd like to talk to Ms. Brooks alone for a minute Harriet. Okay mother. I'll wait for you in the car Ms. Brooks. Well my dear I haven't seen you in ever so long. It has been quite a while Mrs. Conklin but I've been working pretty hard at school. Yes I know so has Mr. Conklin. He's down there now filing some reports on the summer session. That's what I wanted to talk to you about Ms. Brooks. I think a little vacation would do you a lot of good. Yes I suppose it would. As you know Mr. Conklin and I have a little summer cottage at Crystal Lake. Now tomorrow Saturday is our anniversary and I'd like to spend it up at the lake. Why don't you join us and help us celebrate? Well I really don't know Mrs. Conklin. You see in a moment of weakness I promise Mr. Boynton the entire weekend. When did you do that Ms. Brooks? At lunch in about an hour from now. That is I'm sure he'll accept. Invite me. So much the better. Bring Mr. Boynton along. You know seeing how happy our married life is might give Mr. Boynton some ideas on the subject. Why Mrs. Conklin I don't know what you're driving at. You look at Mr. Boynton Ms. Brooks and when one woman sees another woman look at a man the way you look at Mr. Boynton Ms. Brooks that woman knows that the other woman is thinking thoughts about that man that a woman has thought about a man since men and women were created. From the picture little man you've had a busy woman. Oh look Mrs. Conklin I am fond of Mr. Boynton but I don't want people to think that I will. Well they will anyway so you might as well land him. I tell you what you and Mr. Boynton come up to Crystal Lake tomorrow and you can be our house guest over the weekend. We'll surprise Mr. Conklin. Maybe Mr. Conklin doesn't want to be surprised. You leave ours good to me Ms. Brooks. He'll be delighted to see you when I get through with him. You know I think Crystal Lake will be extremely conducive to romance. Mrs. Conklin you just sold me. When I have lunch with Mr. Boynton today I'll extend to him your very kind invitation to spend the weekend in your trap at Crystal Lake. A cottage. Fine but remember Ms. Brooks don't breathe a word of this to Mr. Conklin. Don't worry about that. When Mr. Conklin's around I hardly breathe at all. I hope you like the idea of lunching in Marty's mall shop Ms. Brooks. We haven't had lunch here since summer school ended. Oh I love to eat right across the street from school Mr. Boynton. Of course I feel a little like a criminal returning to the scene of the crime but the food's quite good today. Yes this chili is delicious. Do you always eat chili that way with mustard and pepper and horseradish? Yes I'm afraid I have a cast iron stomach Ms. Brooks. Really? Who helps you carry it to school? I've always liked hot dishes Ms. Brooks. I think spicy things enhance a meal tremendously. That goes for life too doesn't it Mr. Boynton. What do you mean Ms. Brooks? Mr. Boynton instead of our usual Saturday date how would you like to get out of town for the weekend? What? Leave you all alone I should say not. I wouldn't leave you wouldn't leave me I'd be with you. Oh what a shame you've got chili all over your tie. I'm wearing a sports shirt I haven't got a tie. You have now. I didn't mean to shock you Mr. Boynton but Mrs. Conklin's invited us up to their summer cottage at Crystal Lake because tomorrow's their anniversary and she wants us to help surprise Mr. Conklin. Why you and I Ms. Brooks? Because Mrs. Conklin's noticed how hard I've worked during the summer session and she thought it would be fun for me. Of course if you don't want to go I'll tell her I can't go either. That's all right I don't have to get any rest or relaxation. Cool mountains I can have just as good a time right here just staring into a mirror and watching the melted powder run down my nose. Please Ms. Brooks I wouldn't want to deprive you of any fun but good what time will you pick me up tomorrow? Well all right I'll call for you at 10 o'clock. Oh fine then we can oh excuse me a moment Mr. Boynton Mr. Conklin just sat down at that table by the window I'd like to talk to him. I thought we were going to surprise him. Oh I'm not going to mention our coming to Crystal Lake I just want to sound him out about my chances of heading the English department in the coming semester. The job's open you know. Yes I know well I wish you luck Ms. Brooks. Thanks Mr. Boynton I'll be back in a minute. Good afternoon Mr. Conklin. I'll have the businessman's lunch miss but I'll do without the soup and I can do without the potatoes. Mr. Conklin I'm not your waitress it's me Ms. Brooks. I can do without you too. I don't want to disturb you during your lunch Mr. Conklin but good then I'll see you later. I just have one brief question to ask Mr. Conklin may I sit down for a moment. I suppose so have you had your lunch. Yes sir with Mr. Boynton over there. Over where. Oh over there here quite an attractive tie has on. Ms. Brooks you and Mr. Boynton see a good deal of each other don't you. Well now that summer school's over we do see. You spend quite a bit of time together both in and out of school people are beginning to talk. What people Mr. Conklin. Well members of the school board you're still being considered as the possible new head of the English department. Oh that's just what I wanted to. Don't interrupt Mr. Naturally my recommendation will carry a lot of weight with the board but you know how I feel about fraternization among the faculty at Madison Ms. Brooks and I well it would be different if you were married or even engaged to Mr. Boynton then I wouldn't mind so much. Thanks heaps. I mean how can one ever get engaged if one doesn't fraternize with one or more than one if necessary to That is your problem Ms. Brooks. My anniversary is tomorrow and I'm going to surprise Mrs. Conklin with a little trip to Crystal Lake. We have a cottage there you know. Yes I know. Now if I could feel that your conduct over the weekend was above reproach well I'd enjoy my vacation that much more. Believe me Mr. Conklin you won't be hearing a thing about Mr. Boynton and myself. Good tell me Ms. Brooks. There's really nothing to your association is there? Well Mr. Conklin I think I can tell you the truth. Yes Ms. Brooks.
