 palm olive soap your beauty hope and luster cream shampoo for soft glamorous caressible hair bring you our miss Brooks starring Eve Arden welcome respite from the duties but our miss Brooks Madison High's English teacher didn't take any vacation week working at our local board of Education Office they had asked for volunteer assistance during the holidays to make vacations possible for their already overburdened staff the reason I worked was a dress the most beautiful Easter Sunday dress of all time and the reason for the dress mr. Philip Boynton the most beautiful biology teacher of all time the price was right to only 49 50 for the dress not mr. Boynton that's why I asked Mrs. Davis my landlady to wake me at the usual 7 30 a.m. last Monday morning oh Connie it's time to get up Connie oh thanks miss Davis I want to get down to the board office early are you sure you ought to work during your holiday Connie after all you do need a vacation pretty badly not as badly as I need a new dress for Easter you know I'm expecting mr. Boynton to ask me out walking in the Easter parade on Sunday oh I'm sure he will Connie but clothes are so expensive nowadays isn't there something you could do to the black tailored suit of yours with a green braid trim well I could burn it oh but wait till you see the one I've got my eye on I saw it in Cherry's window last week it's a powder blue crepe I think I've seen it Connie is that the dress with the snugly fitted bodice v-neckline and a flared full skirt with enchanting accordion pleated inset in front don't wrap it up I'll eat it here but Connie that looks like it costs a lot of money just 49 50 Mrs. Davis and the job I'm taking this week pays $50 with the little I've put by I figure I can get the dress and still have enough to live on through Easter Sunday but what about next Monday if Easter Sunday turns out the way I'm hoping it does I won't have to live next Monday as the personnel manager of the board I'd like to extend a cordial invitation miss Brooks oh thank you mr. Gleason I've been looking forward to working here should be a complete change for me all new faces we're very grateful for the fact that you offered your services doing this holiday week in fact what we at the board feel is hard to put into words well then why not put it into an envelope I mean there is a salary attached to this position of course miss Brooks the job pays $50 is that all right oh that's more than all right mr. Gleason well if that's the case we could just 50 cents more than all right now if you give me some idea of my duties I'm not in charge of your department miss Brooks but I'd like to caution you about the boss you will have he's rather an exacting type of person now I'll call our office boy and he'll show you where to find your new boss boy oh boy here I am mr. Gleason right on the job and raring to go what are you doing here I might ask you the same question Walter how come you're not on vacation well it's this way miss Brooks I like to see a nice relationship between teacher and pupil but we're all here for one reason remember to catch up on some work agreed sorry mr. Gleason what do you want me to do I want you to take miss Brooks over to the acting head of the filing department his office is right down this hall fourth door on your lap yes sir come along miss Brooks all right Walter thanks again mr. Gleason thank you miss Brooks well so far it's a tie one new face and one old face that seems like a pleasant enough place in which to work work you mean you're here to work during Easter vacation but why I asked you first why are you working well that's simple I'm working to get some new clothes after all I can't drape my clever carcass in the sharp set of threads without I nailed some extra bail now why are you here same reason I can't hang any snazzy rags on my chic shape without eye bags some extra swag oh I'm really on a vacation say who is this new boss I'm working for Walter well I don't know miss Brooks he's one of us extra helpers but he didn't get down yet this morning here's his office let's go in hmm it's pretty nice office could use a little air though I think I'll open the window for my new boss nice view isn't it yes indeed that's very interesting I've never had such a close look at the ventilator in the Chinese restaurant I sure hope your boss here is easier on you than old Napoleon is Napoleon yeah that's what we call our beloved principle sometimes that is when Harriet Conklin isn't around she doesn't like us to call her father Napoleon she says that beneath his gruff exterior Mr. Conklin isn't tough at all believe me Walter beneath his gruff exterior Mr. Conklin makes Napoleon look like Anita Louise but I'm not gonna worry about him every Napoleon has his waterloo and I sometimes think you're mine miss Brooks Mr. Conklin oh I didn't hear you come in that is what makes you say a thing like that I eavesdropped very unreasonable of me isn't it I hope I haven't wounded you miss Brooks not wounded sire and smiling the boy fell dead we were just chatting about French history mr. Conklin yes sir sir so my reward for working during the holidays is to be a staff composed of one of my most difficult year-round problem teachers and and this you better run long now this I mean Walter I'll talk to you later okay miss Brooks and I wish it wouldn't be too strict with her mr. Conklin after all this is vacation get out now then miss Brooks I'll be brief this is a holiday and we are volunteering our services however there is financial compensation even I will receive some payment for the work I do this week and where there is payment miss Brooks there must be value received oh don't worry about that mr. Conklin I know you'll do a grand job I'm not worried about my doing a job miss Brooks it's you I expect you to conduct yourself here with the same enterprise concentration and serious minded effort that you put into your no it had better be more than that now if you'll just step down the hall my secretary will show you the filing room yes sir oh before I go mr. Conklin would you mind telling me why you're working this week not at all miss Brooks I'm working to acquire a new Easter outfit for myself my wife in her customarily ingenious manner has already provided herself with a new hat and dress how did she do that mr. Conklin by spending the bulk of our life saving I've got to get some new clothes or look like a rag picker by comparison that's a very human reaction mr. Conklin not a bit in the polly on it well I must say you're an observant person miss Brooks I've always tried to be just a plain straightforward human being as a matter of fact my favorite slogan is the good old American saying that goes liberty a quality fraternity bonjour mademoiselle see you at Elbow monsieur see now where's that secretary who's talking to Brooks can I help you Harriet Conklin well this is a real Madison reunion isn't it I'm just acting as daddy secretary during the holiday so I can latch on to some lettuce to bribe the Easter Bunny close check now if you'll follow me miss Brooks I'll show you to the file room it's just a few doors down and there's another auxiliary worker in there already whom I know you'll just adore miss Brooks who's that Harriet you'll see here we are I'll open the door for you but you're going in alone oh but here you go what's that hello miss Brooks at last a new face it's me mr. Boynton well so it is I didn't recognize you without the white mice in your hair that is the surroundings here so different from school it does seem strange to see you outside of a biology laboratory thanks somebody left the lid loose and I escaped from my job I didn't mean it that way miss Brooks I'm certainly happy to see you down here but why are you why are you to get myself some me too I made up my mind to get a new suit after last year's Easter parade I was certainly embarrassed in that brown herringbone remember well to tell you the truth mr. Boynton I was so embarrassed myself I didn't notice your embarrassment when I think of what I wore last season I just have to laugh what an old rag a black tailored suit with green braid trim well if we're to get new outfits we'd better put in a good week's work starting right now of course this filing room is pretty small for two people to work in isn't it yes it is isn't it well I'll just go over here excuse me gosh every time we turn around we're going to bump into each other mr. Boynton yes miss Brooks first one who stops turning is a sissy gosh we started work on Monday and here it is Friday already the time sure went fast it seems as if I only worked an hour you worked less than an hour here's the pay window miss Brooks you can get in line right behind Walter and me thanks Harriet keep the line moving please next oh that's me mr. Gleason Denton Walter here's your check Denton Walter happy Easter thank you sir I'm next Brooks Constance Brooks Constance here you are Brooks Constance happy Easter thank you Easter happy to you Gleason mr. let's see now with this $50 I can oh wait a minute excuse me mr. Gleason something wrong miss Brooks why yes this check is for 3750 I thought I was to receive $50 deduction's miss Brooks withholding tax social security unemployment then of course there's the $5 contribution which all volunteer workers at the board of education must make to the pension fund for old teachers pension fund for mr.
