 Colgate dental cream to clean your breath while you clean your teeth and help stop tooth decay and bluster cream shampoo for soft Glamorous caressable hair bring you our miss brook starring Eve Arden It's time once again for another comedy episode of our miss Brooks written by Al Lewis Well many of the nation's high school football teams played in postseason junior bowl games last week Madison High School where our miss Brooks teaches English also received a bowl bid Yes, Madison was invited to play in the cereal bowl The game was scheduled for last Saturday and Friday morning at breakfast my landlady, Mrs. Davis asked me about the details Where has the team been invited to play Connie in the stadium at Clay City, Mrs. Davis? And you ought to see how big our beloved principal is taking this invitation Mr. Conklin so puffed up. He looks like he was shot out of a cannon If you'll pardon a little wishful thinking The last few days he's been absolutely memo happy memo happy He sends out one interoffice communication after another, but the game tomorrow should be a lot of fun Walter Denton the team's manager told me that the cheerleaders and the team in the band are all going down in buses Then there's going to be a dance at the Clay City Hotel after the game I'd give anything to go then why don't you Connie? I haven't got anything The tickets are pretty expensive mrs. Davis and on my budget well, it's just out of the question How about mr. Boynton? Is he going? Yes, he's got a ticket already. I believe just one ticket mr. Boynton's on a budget, too There's still a chance for me to go along as a chaperone for the girl cheerleaders Mr. Conklin's daughter Harriet told me that he's going to choose between Miss Enright and me today Miss Enright But she's always making goo goo eyes at mr. Boynton if she goes to Clay City for the game and the dance afterwards She'll have him all to herself. I thought of that mrs. Davis. That's why I'm giving mr. Conklin his Christmas present a little early this year Like in a half an hour Good, what are you giving mr. Conklin a pair of nice woolen socks to keep his feet warm at the game Oh, it isn't that I want to influence mr. Conklin to select me instead of miss Enright. It isn't of course it is Well all fair in love and war Connie remember miss Enright will take any unfair advantage of you that you can Oh, I wouldn't say that mrs. Davis you wouldn't of course. I would And she would at least she always has taken advantage. I mean Would you answer the door please Connie? I'll take the breakfast dishes into the kitchen. All right, mrs. Davis It's probably Walter Denton. He's giving me a lift to school coming Good morning, miss Brooks miss Enright. I was just driving to school and knowing the usual condition of your car I thought I might give you a ride this morning. That's very considerate miss Enright But Walter Dentons picking me up any minute. Oh, well, there's another reason I stopped by If I may come in out of the draft for a moment, I'll explain. Oh, I'm sorry come in miss Enright Sit down, won't you? I'd rather stand I think I've a new dress on and the furniture doesn't look too dusted Better brush off your finger. We haven't vacuumed the doorbell in months You're so witty darling But I just wanted to tell you that in spite of our little differences in the past I see no reason why we can't be more friendly in the new year, which is practically upon us Well, I'm sure that I matter of fact. I brought a little peace offering with me miss Brooks here I'd like you to have this ticket ticket to what miss Enright to the fireman's ball My aunt Jesse bought it weeks ago But the poor darling just doesn't feel up to going this year and rather than waste the ticket We immediately thought of you and he says it's a lot of fun for spinsters What time will you be there? Look miss Enright, I don't believe that an unmarried girl should consider herself a spinster until she reaches a certain age Well, don't be testy darling. I'm sure you won't reach that age for months yet Now take the ticket and have a good time tomorrow night. Oh, it's for tomorrow night Now that's a coincidence the bold dance is being held tomorrow night in Clay City And one of us is supposed to chaperone that affair. Oh, but I'm virtually assured of that position miss Brooks What makes you think so? Oh, I could tell from dear mr. Conklin's reaction to my visit yesterday You see I dropped into his office after school with a little gift for him I always like to give out my Christmas presents early. What potential chaperone doesn't What did you give mr. Conklin? I gave him a lovely pair of woolen socks Woolen socks. Yes, he was very appreciative seem genuinely touched But that's what I like about our principal anyway. He has such a warm heart. Don't you think so miss Brooks? I don't know about his heart, but he's gonna have the warmest feet in play city I've got to have a few words with mr. Conklin before my first class walder Do you think we'll arrive at school in time? I'll get you there in time to talk his arm off miss Brooks But you shouldn't worry about that job of chaperone. There's absolutely no doubt that you'll be chosen According to Harriet. It's still between miss n right and me but miss Brooks Anybody who could possibly pick miss n right over you for any kind of position should have mr. Conklin's head examined It's a foregone conclusion that he'll take you and the dance ought to be a lot of fun tomorrow night Harriet and I have promised each other every dance except maybe one or two. She'll have to give mr. Boynton Oh, then mr. Boynton is definitely going. I thought you knew yeah He got his ticket money right after we were chosen to play in the bowl He's followed the team through thick and thin miss Brooks. That's why you've just got to go tomorrow How can I walder unless I'm chosen chaperone? Well easy. You can still buy a ticket. It's not that easy There's only a limited supply you know of tickets of money And take it they're probably all sold out by now. Oh, don't worry miss Brooks We'll figure something out but to get back to mr. Conklin for a second since we've been chosen to play in the bowl He's definitely lid flipping material lid flipping material His entire cork miss Brooks Every time I turn around I get another memo look at this last communique. He sent me yesterday afternoon. I'd see it walder Hmm from the office of the principal to the manager such as he is of the football team As per my prior instructions have you made sure the members of the school band are bringing their instruments? Does he think they're gonna play on tissue paper and cones Not that it wouldn't be an improvement Mr. Conklin is a man of many memos these days He sure is miss Brooks, but there isn't much we can do about it after all a school principal is a school principal I guess you're right walder, but under another set of circumstances mr. Conklin, and I might get along beautifully What kind of circumstances miss Brooks if he were the principal of Madison High and I was an English teacher in Budapest Oh, it's you miss Brooks. What can I do for you? Do you really want to know mr. Conklin? No, it was just a figure of speech Please be brief. I've got a lot on my mind. Yes, sir I'd like you to accept this little Christmas present. Mr. Conklin. I wanted you to have it early. Thank you miss Brooks What is it? Well, it's a sort of surprise a timely surprise as a man who suffers from hypertension Miss Brooks, I find that surprises do very little for me What's in the package? Well, I'll give you a hint mr. Conklin you received a present from another teacher yesterday Isn't that right? Yes. Well, if you had that present on and then put my present on you'd be wearing a very bloated pair of shoes Here, I'll just put it away in your closet. Oh While I'm at it, I could clean out this closet for you, mr. Conklin. No, thank you miss Brooks. Miss Enright did that for me yesterday As you know, I'm going to choose one of you as the chaperone for the trip tomorrow I'll make my final decision at lunchtime. Very good. Mr. Conklin. Have you completed all arrangements for tomorrow? Practically I've just finished another memo for those directly concerned with the trip. I call it schedule a Would you like to hear it? It reads at 7 30 a.m band members and cheerleaders under supervision of female chaperone will leave on bus number one Second half of contingent will be personally conducted by me and will leave at 8 o'clock on bus number two signed our good conklin That certainly is explicit. I must say mr. Conklin these memos of yours are a wonderful idea Why this schedule lists all the instructions so clearly and concisely that there couldn't possibly be the slightest confusion I'm quite slippery on this side miss Brooks. Perhaps you should start buttering up the other Mr. Conklin, it's just that I realize that there's more to this expedition than the honor of being invited to a bowl football game And I want you to know that I'm ready willing and able to accept the great Responsibility the hard work and the free ticket that goes with it Starring Eve Arden will continue in just a moment, but first here is Vern Smith Now proof that brushing teeth right after eating with Colgate Nettle cream helped stop tooth decay before it starts Continuous research hundreds of case histories makes this the most conclusive proof in all data first research on tooth decay eminent dental authorities who provides hundreds of college men and women for over two years One group always brushed their teeth with Colgate's right after eating the other followed their usual dental care The group using Colgate dental cream is directed using Colgate's Exclusively showed a startling reduction in average number of cavities far less tooth decay the other group Developed new cavities at a much higher rate. No other database offers proof of these results Modern research shows decay is caused by mouth acids, which are at their worst right after eating Brushing teeth with Colgate's as directed helps remove acids before they harm enamel Yes, Colgate's contains all the necessary ingredients including an exclusive patented ingredient for effective daily dental care So remember always use Colgate dental cream to clean your breath while you clean your teeth and help stop tooth decay Well when lunch period started I made my last bid for mr. Conklin's favor I went to the school cafeteria and filled a tray with the best food available Then carried it down to his office so he could have his lunch in private The door was ajar so I walked right in Surprise Oh, it's you miss Brooks come in. Yes, do come in darling. Miss Enright. What are you doing here? Miss Enright was thoughtful enough to bring me some food from the cafeteria so I could have my lunch in private Wasn't that sweet of her sweet and swift What's that you have on the tray miss Brooks this oh, I just thought you might like a little dessert mr. Conklin, what sort of dessert roast loin of pork Terribly middle-class well looks delicious, but I've just finished a Swiss steak that miss Enright brought me I got to watch my weight. Oh, then I'll just take it down on my desk. I belong day ahead of me Now then you're both wondering no doubt as to which of you is my final choice for the position of chaperone at the clay city game and dad Well, there's no hurry about it. Mr. Conklin if you want who who? Well, it's not you miss Brooks, then you know no, it's not you either miss Enright I've decided that the ideal chaperone for this trip is mrs. Conklin mrs. Conklin your wife an amazing deduction Yes, the thought occurred to me this morning while I was mulling over a memo that the chaperone for girls should be a married woman That eliminated miss Enright, of course and unless there's been a sudden and radical upheaval in your existence You're not married either miss Brooks. You're so right mr. Conklin But if you'll excuse me now, I've got something very important to do in the cafeteria. What's that miss bro? I've got to start engineering a sudden and radical upheaval in my existence Mr. Boynton Well, this is a coincidence. What is miss Brooks my running into you like this after only five minutes of stalking But mr. Boynton, I wanted to talk to you about the weekend. Have you any plans plans? I certainly miss Brooks I've got a ticket to the cereal bowl game at clay city, but that's 80 miles away mr. Boynton And I understand the trip is being made in buses those drafty old-fashioned buses Oh, they're not so bad and the game should be a lot of fun fun bucking those crowds Then when you do get in you have to sit on hard wooden benches with your feet on cold cement And do you know what a breeding place for germs a mob of people can be? But miss Brooks people go to football games all the time never catch anything some people stay home and never catch anything Look mr. Boynton this game is for kids, but there's a dance afterwards for everybody fine dance You know who's gonna play the music for it our school orchestra, and have you heard them rehearsing lately? Well, no, I haven't I have they were running through mule train the other day The only instruments on key were the whips I'm surprised at this attitude of yours miss Brooks I thought you'd be keen to go didn't even buy a ticket buy a ticket I wouldn't go to that clam bake if somebody gave me a ticket Besides there's a new movie coming to the strand tomorrow that all the papers say may get the Academy Award It's called all the Kings man. You wouldn't want to miss that would you? Well, I'll see that later on miss Brooks No, if you'll excuse me. I've got to get back to my laboratory before class starts some things I want to pack away for the weekend go ahead mr. Boynton well I'll see you before I go won't I there's no hard feelings. Oh, certainly not no reason why you shouldn't go where you want to go And you want to go there? Is that I Guess not see you later miss Brooks Don't trust him and place quickly he can go where he wants to go do what he wants to do I don't care Excuse me miss Brooks, but I've got the most wonderful news for you. May I sit down for a minute? Why certainly Harriet? What's the news? Daddy just talked to mother on the phone, and she doesn't feel up to going along tomorrow So he picked you to chaperone the girl me what made him decide on me? Well, to be perfectly honest about it miss Brooks daddy flipped a coin He says what was heads you'd go and tails miss Enright would go and the coin came up heads three times Here's your ticket this is good not only for the game But a round trip ride on the bus and admission to the dance I can hardly believe it Oh, this is a real break miss Brooks. You got just utterly the last ticket in school. Oh one more thing Here's another memo from daddy. He wants you to read it very carefully. Let's see Schedule B at 7 30 a.m. Band members and cheerleaders under supervision of female chaperone. I know Harriet I've in fact I knew schedule B when it was only schedule a If you pardon me Harriet, I've got to tell someone about the news you just brought me who miss Brooks. Oh someone All right miss Brooks, and I know mr. Boynton will be tickled to hear it Hello miss Brooks after you left mr. Boynton, I got to thinking about our conversation Me too miss Brooks, and I've decided that I'm not going on the clay city trip after all You're not going No, no, I'm selling my ticket to mr. Leblanc the french teacher selling your ticket But mr. Boynton, you're missing the trip of the century Totally modern buses the thrill of personal contact with that adorable horde of people at the stadium And then there's the game itself tense exciting action viewed from comfy form-fitting beaver board seats Just a minute miss Brooks Are you going tomorrow? Of course, I wouldn't miss it for the world But you said in the cafeteria that you wouldn't go if somebody gave you a ticket What made you change your mind somebody gave me a ticket Miss Brooks, what about all the king's men all the king's men couldn't drag me away from play city tomorrow, mr. Boynton And I'm surprised that you don't feel the same way Well, I I would like to root for the old team, but I've promised mr. Leblanc the ticket once I make a promise I keep it Well, don't worry about me miss Brooks. I'll find something to do. I'll probably take miss enright to a movie or something miss enright Well, yes, she loves movies, you know She loves sitting in movies. There's a difference Honestly, mr. Boynton, I just can't understand you sometimes How do you mean miss Brooks? Well, doesn't being with the old team mean more to you than being with old enright? There's anything wrong with miss enright that a little chicanery which I'm about to indulge in couldn't eliminate along with miss enright I'm afraid I don't follow you miss Brooks. Let's keep it that way. Mr. Boynton at least temporarily. I'll see you in a little while Hi, miss Brooks, I've been looking all over for you and mr. Conklin wants you to read this memo right away Oh, let's see that walter schedule c at 7 30 a.m. Band members and cheerleaders will board bus number one Oh, great. I don't have to read this. I know this schedule backwards Well, you don't sound very enthusiastic about being chosen chaperone miss Brooks frankly walter. I'm not but why not Well, it's a long dull story in which the heroine cuts her own throat But boiled down it reads mr. Boynton isn't going now. I'm stuck with a ticket for a trip. I don't even want to make Hello miss Brooks walter. Oh, it's you. Hi miss enright. If you ladies will excuse me I've got to get over to the supply room and pick up some megaphones. We can finish our conversation in a few minutes miss Brooks Thanks a million walter Well, mr. Conklin told me that you won the toss miss Brooks and I suppose good sportsmanship demands that I offer my congratulations Well, thank you miss enright. That is very sporting of you Of course I have enough money in the bank to go on my own, but there just isn't a ticket to be had I know there isn't a Wait a minute. What would a ticket be worth to you miss enright? Why do you have an extra one miss brook? Would you give five dollars for a ticket miss enright? It includes bus fare and admission to the dance, you know Well, that sounds eminently fair miss brooks. Here's the five dollars and here's the ticket Well, I have to be running along now miss enright. Hope you have a nice time over the weekend Oh, I'm sure we'll all have a nice time you and mr. Boynton and myself. I'm sure we will miss enright. Goodbye Wonder where she got this ticket. Hi you miss enright. Well, I got all the equipment and stuff and I it For where did miss brooks go? I wanted to cheer her up a little Cheer her up. Yeah, she seemed kind of blue because mr. Boynton isn't going to the game tomorrow. Mr. Boynton is So that's why she sold me the ticket Walter could I borrow one of those pennants you've got there? Oh sure miss enright of what kind do you want? Any kind just so it's nice and sharp It's me again mr. Boynton. There's something I'd like to discuss. Well, I'm glad you came back miss brooks I've been thinking this over very carefully and I've decided that I've just got to go en route for our team tomorrow Now those kids would never forgive me if I didn't come mr. Mr. Leblanc will just have to understand you don't mean it mr. Boynton You can't mean that you're going to ride 80 miles in a drafty And buck a germ-ridden mob for the privilege of watching 22 Untalented children run into each other while you're sitting on the stone bench with your feet in your pocket I'm sorry miss brooks. You can't talk me out of it this time. I'm going to the ball tomorrow or bust Oh, but mr. Boynton Excuse me, mr. Boynton. Well, what is all this? Miss brooks, I thought I'd find you here I know what you're thinking miss enright and you're perfectly justified in being annoyed with me But I'd like to make it up to you if you'll let me. What do you mean miss brooks? Here's your five dollars back Give me the ticket. Well, I didn't expect you to be this honest Here you are miss brooks. Thank you Oh, hello miss enright. Oh, hello, mr.
