 Colgate dental cream to clean your breath while you clean your teeth and help stomp tooth decay and luster cream shampoo for soft Glamorous corressible hair bring you our miss brook starring Eve Arden Time once again for another comedy episode of our miss brooks written by Al Lewis Well, many of the nation's schools commence a new semester on Monday and Madison High School Where our miss brooks teaches English as one of them although the others usually dispense with classes on the last day or two of the old term Madison did not no indeed our beloved principal Osgood Conklin saw it of that In fact, he was quite chagrined when a cloud burst last Friday kept almost all of the student body at home Even members of the faculty didn't get down except a handful of teachers me Since mr. Conklin didn't show up until quite late I took it upon myself to dismiss the few soap pupils who were floating around the halls Saturday morning at breakfast. I discussed the situation with my landlady And what did mr. Conklin say when you told him you had cancelled school for the day Connie? He didn't say a word miss that mrs. Davis until he came down off the ceiling Then he accused me of usurping his function as a principal and throwing a monkey wrench into his plan for getting the jump on the other schools What sort of plan did he have Connie? Well, he felt that schedule should be revised and classes are signed before the first day of the new semester Hence we have all been invited to appear at school today But this is Saturday Connie mr. Conklin hasn't the authority to make anybody come to school He doesn't make anybody come he's put it on a voluntary basis for both the student body and the faculty It's strictly optional really of course come or die I Can't understand some of you teachers Connie. Why do you let mr. Conklin drive you this way? What are you all a bunch of of geese? I don't know about the others, but don't be surprised if some morning you find a feather by my empty bed You see mrs. Davis, I've been in so much trouble with mr. Conklin during the past term I don't dare start the new one off on the wrong foot No, that's probably Walter Denton. He's giving me a lift down to school come in Walter It certainly is nice of Walter to call for you this morning Yes, it is Considering that I made it quite clear to him that he's driving me was strictly optional really of course be here or flunk Hi, mrs. Davis and to you most revered and admired of all local educators. I bow deeply from the waist Thank you and get your head out of the milk pitcher Sit down Walter, I'll pour you a glass. Oh, thanks. Would you like something else water? What have you got? Oh Serial egg sausage bacon toast, and that'll be fine Obviously you haven't had anything to eat since breakfast. Oh, that's right, mrs. Brooks over an hour ago Growing boys should eat a lot especially if you want to grow up and be big and strong like hop along Cassidy Hop along Cassidy ain't like Walter. He'd never make it to the saddle It's a nice plate for you Walter. Oh, uh, how do you take your eggs for in the mouth and six intravenously? Gosh, mrs. Brooks, you make me sound like a pig Just scramble a few with some bacon and sausages mrs. Davis, please. All right, well, this is great What better way to start off the day than a resounding second breakfast with my favorite school teacher For a kid who's going to school on Saturday. You sound pretty chipper, Walter Ah, but that's where you're wrong, mrs. Brooks. I'm not going to school today. None of the students are We held a mass meeting last night and decided that the only course to pursue was open rebellion What the issues are clear, mrs. Brooks if we let old marble head haul us into school today Just a minute Walter. I won't have you referring to the principal of our school in such a disrespectful manner Sorry, mrs. Brooks, but don't you see if we submit to his demand that we attend school on Saturday What's to prevent him from dragging us down on Sunday or even holidays? Oh, I can just picture it Christmas weekend comes everybody's off having fun But our principal decrees that we must spend every day of our vacation in school old marble head wouldn't dare Don't you worry, mrs. Brooks Even though we all recognize this for the tyranny that it is it is a short-lived tyranny Our spokesman elected unanimously at last night's meeting old seat of that spokesman whom did you elect? Let me be the first to congratulate you Logical choice may I add to slay the tyrant now wait a second Walter It just happens that I didn't renew my card in the tyrant slayers union I'm in enough hot water now for cancelling school yesterday that was different It was an emergency the plus which nobody was there anyway, but don't worry about it now We can plan our campaign on the way down to school. I thought you said you weren't going of course. I'm going I'm in charge of the picket line As one of the organizers of this rebellion It's up to me to see that the protest meeting this morning goes off without a flaw Are you sure you've got the eyebrows for this kind of work? Oh, we've got a great program lined up miss Brooks some of the kids are bringing a dummy down so we can hang mr. Conklin and effigy But Walter that's a pretty violent way of protesting. Oh, it'll all be in fun sort of But even mr. Conklin's daughter Harriet's on our side So here's the plan miss Brooks first. We're gonna have one last talk with mr. Conklin Then we're gonna go out and hang the dummy Well, what do you think of the scheme? It's a dandy Walder Of course, it would be more effective if you had one last talk with the dummy and then went out. Oh there I go with that wishful thinking For a group who decided not to come to school today, there's quite a crowd on the campus I wonder where stretch not grass is he's supposed to carry the dummy over to the flagpole as Madison star athlete He deserves the honor, but let me offer a word of caution Walter. What's that miss Brooks? Well, I don't want to cast any aspersions on stretches mentality, but if he's carrying the dummy be very careful who you string up Here he is now hi a stretch hi Walter hello miss Brooks hello stretch I made up a slogan for one of the picket signs Walter, but I'm afraid it might be a teeny-weeny bit disrespectful when I hear it Sure, how does it go? It goes mr. Conklin is very unfair. I'm gonna wash that guy right out of my hair I don't think a slogan like that's too disrespectful to you miss Brooks Not if you want to finish your education in another part of the state The real fun will come later miss Brooks. We're gonna hang mr. Conklin in a figgy In a what in a figgy will he fit in the figgy means in effigy miss Brooks. Oh, I kind of liked it the other way Yeah, I better get the thing now. I'll see you later miss Brooks. Bye Walter. That's so long pal Well, everything's rolling right along. Let's see if mr. Conklin got here yet Hello miss Brooks Walter. Well, I just talked to daddy and he's livid He blames you for the entire insurrection miss Brooks me. I tried to reason with him I even told him that you weren't present when we named you our spokesman Although it was a foregone conclusion that you'd accept the honor with great enthusiasm. That's getting me off the hook Daddy says if you hadn't canceled school yesterday, this wouldn't have happened. You're in an awful spot Gosh, I didn't mean to get you into such a jam miss Brooks. Well, I'm in it and it's up to me to get out of it Please don't think I'm a Benedict Arnold, but I'd better get up in the school steps and have a little talk with some of these Strikers Just a moment. Thank you Now I'm sure you all have as much pride in your school as any members of the faculty have or as its principal Mr. Conklin has Please I'm trying to tell you that by working for a few hours today We can be prepared to launch our new semester on Monday with a minimum of confusion Thus assuring us of a better start toward that degree of scholastic excellence, which is always prevailed at Madison High Remember students education is your sacred heritage. You're guaranteed right under the Constitution as well as the Bill of Rights which ensures us all of the benefits and privileges which every American And so miss Brooks I hold you personally responsible for the fact that these malcontents are not in their classrooms yet But mr. Conklin, I really tried excuse me This is ours good Conklin's office mr. Conklin himself speaking This is mr. Stone at the board of education. Oh, hello, mr. Stone How is everyone? I have no time for chitchat Rather disturbing rumor has reached me to the effect that you've summoned your student body to school today My student body you realize of course it's such an action on your part without sanction from the board would constitute a breach of authority That could lead to your immediate dismissal. Yes. Yes, of course Now I can't for the life of me imagine where these ridiculous rumors begin why I'm here all alone not another soul in the office I'm sorry, sir my cat has a cold But about that rumor the only reason I'm in the office is to get out some letters Good good. I thought you had better sense than to do anything that autocratic By the way, I'll be in your neighborhood in a little while Perhaps I'll drop in to discuss some board matters with you. Fine, mr. Stone. That'll be just grand I'll look forward to seeing you very well. Goodbye. I was good. Goodbye, mr. Stone Well miss Brooks sometimes everything happens for the best because of you No child has set foot in this building as yet. Is that right? I guess not mr. Conklin But if you'll just wait until I'll be frank with you miss Brooks if they had come in it could have meant my dismissal I don't understand mr. Stone's attitude, but well go out to your youthful charges and inform them that there is no school today Oh, fine, mr. Conklin. You did it miss Brooks. I didn't think you could do it, but you did it What are you talking about Denton? Oh, she was wonderful, mr. Conklin Miss Brooks made a speech a few minutes ago that'll go down in Madison's history. Yes, sir Every student is in his or her classroom right now And believe me mr. Conklin wild horses couldn't drag them out of this school today Well miss bro You heard the boy Thanks to your speech wild horses couldn't drag them out of school today and Now young woman. May I ask what you propose to do step aside mr. Conklin Starring Eve Arden will continue in just a moment, but first here is Vern Smith No other dentifers offers proof of such results proof that Colgate dental cream helps stop tooth decay before it starts two years Research at leading universities using Colgate dental cream hundreds of case histories makes this the most conclusive proof in all dentifers history on tooth decay Conclusive proof that when teeth are brushed with Colgate's right after eating Colgate dental cream helps stop tooth decay before it starts Yes, the toothpaste you use to clean your breath while you clean your teeth now offers a safe proved way to reduce tooth decay Modern science 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 Colgate dental cream has been proved to contain all the necessary ingredients Including an exclusive patented ingredient for effective daily dental care get Colgate dental cream today big economy size Only 59 cents always use Colgate dental cream to clean your breath while you clean your teeth and help stop tooth decay Before it starts remember no other dentifers offers proof of such results Well, I told Walter Denton to corral the students and herd them into the cafeteria While I was waiting for them to assemble I corraled mr. Boynton and herded him into a corner table Over a cup of coffee. I told him of mr. Conklin's dilemma as usual. Mr. Boynton was extremely sympathetic So you see if these kids don't go home at once mr. Conklin can get in big trouble with the board Well, that's his worry. Oh, he should have known better than to ask students to come to school on Saturday let alone the faculty I wish he would let alone the faculty But we're in it now at least I am up to our necks at least my neck fine English teacher I don't like to see you distressed about it. Oh look when we do leave here How about going someplace just the two of us what sort of place did you have in mind mr. Boynton? Well, I don't know it's a date I Thought maybe you'd enjoy the zoo again today. I understand they've got a yak over there. That's over 60 years old. Honestly That's pretty old for a yak, you know Then old yaks are so much more fun than young yaks, don't you think? Don't you care? I know I don't I Got most of the kids in miss Brooks. Oh, hi mr. Boynton. Oh, hello Walter. I'll hold this chair for you miss Brooks Go ahead get up on it and make your speech. Thanks, Walter a student's attention, please I've called you here for some very good news. You don't have to stay in school today But miss Brooks after your speech of this morning, we want to stay don't you believe it? This after all is Saturday a holiday one to which you are not only entitled by law, but which is guaranteed to you by the constitution By the bill of rights and every other document so carefully prepared to safeguard the interest of you the future leaders of our I won't be able to drop in on you today after all My wife's been driving my car all week and it's pretty well shot. Yes Yes, I've seen her Your your your car that is your car I'm sorry you can't drop in though mr. Stone, but when you do pay us a visit You'll find a smooth the running educational operation as there is in this country. I'm sure for now. Goodbye, sir, and thanks for calling Come in It's me mr. Conklin I told the students that they can go home anytime they want to what have they left yet No, sir. Most of them are still in the cafeteria, but they're going to pay for this morning's protest meeting Mr. Stone isn't coming down after all So you can just tell those recalcitrant mischief makers that they're staying here today until 4 p.m But mr. Conklin, I can't make another speech. It's an order miss Brooks Working for a few hours today We can be assured of a better start toward that degree of scholastic excellence, which is always prevailed at madison high Remember students education is your Guaranteed right under the constitution As well as the bill of rights which ensures us all the benefits and privileges Gosh stretch. I don't like to cross miss Brooks up, but we just got to get out of school today But we're all on detention walter. We got a state of 4 p.m What makes me mad. We didn't even get to burn mr. Conklin enough figgy Stretching Hey, wait a minute. You just gave me an idea Suppose we had a fire drill then when we all ran out of school We could just forget to stop running until we got home But the control for the fire alarm bell is in mr. Conklin's office and he ain't gonna ring it for no reason Then let's give him a reason You mean start a fire? No, no, not a real fire stretch a fake one We can get some dry ice in the cafeteria kitchen and drop it in a bucket of water Oh, that makes the most beautiful smoke he ever saw And then we just fan it under old marble heads door until it fills his office Then he comes out of his door and hits us with the bucket No, no, he doesn't we remove the screws from his doorknob from the outside And then when he tries to open the door the knob comes away in his hand and conklin falls right on his conk Boy you should get a scholarship So miss brooks you've informed the student body that they're all under detention until four Yes, sir. I did but suppose mr. Stone does come over and discovers that you're keeping us all in school on a holiday Ah, but he won't miss brooks. He has no way to get here his car broke down. Suppose he decided to walk over walk over That's ridiculous Hello, mr. Conklin mr. Stone I decided to walk over Hello, mr. Stone, how are you fine? Thanks, mr. Brooks I uh would have been here sooner. I was good, but I dozed off for a few minutes in the park I stopped to rest on my favorite bench the one under paul revere statue That is an extremely comfortable bench such nice soft slats Tell me miss brooks. What brought you to old medicine today old mr. Conklin That is mr. Conklin asked me to type some letters for him. Yes. Yes, that's it. She's typing some letters for me But uh, I don't see any typewriter in here Uh, well, it's in the next room in the next room. I have very long arms Uh, but now that we've finished mr. Conklin, why don't you drive mr. Stone home instead of remaining in this stuffy old empty old school Splendid idea come along mr. Stone. Not so fast. I was good. There are several things. Uh, what's that? There must be someone loitering in the hall impossible There's no one in school today, but I swear I I just saw that doorknob turning turning into what? And what's that swirling in under the door? Oh, that's nothing but smoke Yeah, that's all it is. Just smoke. Oh, of course. That's all it is smoke smoke Good heavens the school's on fire.

I can hardly see you miss brooks. I can't see you at all. Mr. Conklin. I never could Gosh waller we've been fanning smoke under that door for five minutes now and he ain't rung the fire alarm yet Relax stretch with the fog. He's in it'll take him a little while to notice the smoke You don't think mr. Conklin has become xv executed. Do you? No, that would be too much to hope for But if he is xv executed, maybe we ought to open the door and haul him out of there Please let's not spoil a perfectly good xv execution Miss brooks we're cooked. Oh, it's not a real fire miss brooks It's just dry ice and water See that we were trying to get mr. Conklin to ring the fire alarm so we could escape from school in the confusion Oh, there's a lot you can do on saturday on the outside Gosh miss brooks now that you caught us. What are you gonna do?
