 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 The nation's schools threw open their doors last Monday and in spite of a difficult first week Our miss brooks who teaches English at Madison High School was determined not to let the rigors of the impending semester Dim her enthusiasm for her chosen career Well, she was talking about it early Friday morning in the room. She rents from mrs. Davis Sure, it's difficult being a teacher, but lots of other occupations are difficult, too Besides maybe mr. Conklin our principal will recommend that I be made head of the English department That carries a bigger salary with it and who knows from there. I might become an assistant principal Maybe even a principal and there's always mr. Boynton He's been pretty shy for a biology teacher, but I'm sure he'll warm up a little this term I bet he'll just insist on spending more and more time with me on weekends as well as school days By this year he might even propose Okay, okay Darned alarm clock. I wish you'd waited for another minute. I was about to discover oil in my inkwell Honey, it's time to get up. Oh, I am up mrs. Davis. Come on in I was afraid you wouldn't hear your alarm, Connie Now I'll get breakfast started and oh before I forget mr. Conklin called while you were still asleep He said to tell you to stop at his office before you go to your first class. That's what we all need something to look forward to Probably about his new cheerleading idea cheerleading idea. Yes He doesn't think there's enough enthusiasm for our football team Tomorrow's the first game and he wants the team to feel that we're all behind them I see. How did the Madison team wind up last year, Connie? They had an undefeated season, mrs. Davis. They did. That's right They didn't defeat a single team That's why mr. Conklin's got this wild scheme to make a member of the faculty act as cheerleader a member of the faculty Leading cheers exactly. He doesn't feel that the student yell leaders are generating enough steam But whom do you think you'll select for the job Connie? Well, it's a lot of hard work with no extra pay I seem like a natural for it Why should mr. Conklin pick you for a job like that because mr. Conklin is one of my most ardent boosters He's right behind me every minute It gives me a great sense of security to know that our beloved principal is one of my staunchest supporters really Yes, it's like standing on a nice firm gallows After what he's already done to me leading a few cheers will be easy. He's done something else Yes, he's still on his big anti-fratonization kick So he moved me from room 148 right next to mr. Boynton's biology lab way down to room 102 I'm hard to get to see him at all now, but can't you just stroll casually down to his room between classes? There isn't much time between classes mrs. Davis. How casual can you be with spiked shoes and a kneeling start? If it isn't one thing it's another But I still can't conceive of you as a cheerleader in a football stadium I assure you mr. Conklin can I wouldn't be surprised if he expected me to be a drum major at as well Why this very minute he's probably chuckling into his coffee at the thought of me throwing a big brass baton up in the air and Catching it without a bounce on the top of my head This coffee is very good Harriet Yeah, I can just see her now catching that big stick right on top of her head Pardon me daddy, but I don't quite follow you. Oh, it's miss Brooks Harriet I'm thinking of making her faculty cheerleader for the football season That's a wonderful idea daddy. The kids are crazy about miss Brooks. Yes, the kids are crazy But Harriet do you think she'll accept her new assignment as yell leader cheerfully? I don't know why not if it's good enough for a principal it ought to be all right for a teacher What do you mean if it's good enough for a principal with the stories right here in the morning paper daddy Jason Brill principal of clay City High School elected honorary cheerleader But it was my idea to get a faculty cheerleader. I told Brill about it last week when we let's see that paper Why they've got his picture in here Jason Brill thanking the student body of clay City High Well of all the hammy-oafs not only does he steal my idea, but he appoints himself to grab all the publicity But he didn't appoint himself daddy. He was elected by the students. Oh, he was elected by the student Well, then I guess I can be elected by the students as well you a cheerleader Well, what's so funny about it? I was a drum major in college I'll call a special assembly right after lunch and we'll vote for a faculty cheerleader. Well gosh daddy I don't like to undermine your ego, but if it's an elective position miss Brooks will probably win it by a mile Oh, she will you forget young lady that your father is an old hand at politics Why I was offered a political position before I was even a teacher in this town. Yes daddy Of course, I had a good reason for not accepting I know the back of your car wasn't big enough to hold all the dogs. You'd have to That's not the position Wish your mother would stop blabbing that story around Now clear off the dishes and let's get to school. Okay, daddy Maybe I'll get a chance to rub noses with my dream pie before school starts. He's driving miss Brooks down this morning your dream pie Walder Denton Please Harriet not at the breakfast table And so miss Brooks although I've often kidded about the subject his actions this week forced me Reluctantly to one conclusion. What's that Walder? Mr. Conklin finds me acutely distasteful That's why he put me my best pal stretch snodgrass and my best girl Harriet Conklin all in different classes I just don't see how a man can be so cruel to his own flesh and blood Harriet certainly Why do you realize what he's denying that poor girl me? I Just have to be brave I guess and look what he did to you moved you all the way down to room 102 That's about as far away as you can get for mr. Boynton's lab. Why it must be 200 yards 204 and 9 inches Maybe absence will make the heart grow fonder. He did ask me out last Wednesday night Mr. Boynton asked you for a date in the middle of the week. He certainly did Invited me to a drive-in movie in his neighborhood. Well, that sounds cozy. It could have been cosier He felt it would keep him up too late if he drove me home. So he suggested that I bring my car along too Gee once you got into the place you snuggle that real close didn't you it's a little difficult walder to snuggle up to somebody with A new Hudson in between Let's get back to your problem walder. I'm sorry to hear you're not happy in your present classes I'm miserable miss Brooks. You see it isn't just being separated from Harriet that hurts It's stretch snotgrass too. You know how close stretch and I are after all you taught the both of us English last term You were both in my class last term if that's what you mean Your friend stretch is the only pupil I've ever met who garnered out of a possible 100% a final mark of 9 Even your sparkling 27 look good by comparison He may not be overburdened with brains, but he's got a great sense of loyalty miss Brooks Gosh if we're kept apart all term it'll break stretches hard mine, too Maybe you can get us transferred back to your class. Please miss Brooks. Please you gotta help us. Tell me you'll help us I'll take it easy walder. You can rest assured. I'll do everything in my power to arrange a transfer for you Gee, thanks miss Brooks after all I want you as well as stretch to look back upon your career at Madison High School as the happiest 12 years of your life Our miss Brooks starring Eve Arden will continue in just a moment, but first here is Vern Smith Now dental science reveals a startling discovery in the fight against tooth decay Proof that always using Colgate dandelion cream right after eating helped stop tooth decay before it starts continuous research Hundreds of case histories makes this the most important news in dental history eminent dental authorities supervised hundreds of college men and women for over a year One group always brushed their teeth with Colgate's right after eating the other followed their usual dental care And here are the amazing results the group using Colgate dental cream as directed showed a startling reduction in average number of cavities Far less tooth decay the other group develop new cavities at a much higher rate No other data press offers proof of these results and Colgate's contains all the necessary ingredients Including an exclusive patented ingredient for effective daily dental care No risk of irritation to tissues and gums and no change in flavor foam or cleansing action As always Colgate's cleans your breath while it cleans your teeth The Colgate's now at your dealers is the same formula used in the tests Always use Colgate dental cream right after eating to help prevent new cavities help stop tooth decay before it starts Well, I arrived in school before Mr. Conklin did and having a little time to kill I sauntered toward mr. Boynton's biology laboratory Morning mr. Boynton just happened to be in the neighborhood, so I thought I'd race in a drop in Sit down catch your breath. Yeah, thanks. I was just feeding my pet frog. You remember McDougal. Oh, of course. Hi Mac We haven't seen very much of you since mr. Conklin changed your room. I know you miss me One down and one to go How about you mr. Boynton? Do you miss me? Well, gosh, I if you're bashful just say mmm Wait, it's only natural I suppose for all living creatures who form a certain habit pattern to be temporarily thrown into a mild state of confusion by the disruption of that pattern That is to say any warm-blooded mammal who has formed some sort of an attachment for another warm-blooded mammal Would become quite lonesome if that warm-blooded mammal would be removed Let's stand closer to the bars here come some people with peanuts What I'm trying to say I suppose is that both Mac and myself have missed your little between-class visits And by the same token I suppose it's logical to assume you've missed seeing us you can say that again. Thanks I'll put him back in his cage now. Here you go boy. You've had plenty of exercise for one morning. Yeah, we are see you later Mac Well miss Brooks, what do you think the coming term is gonna be like if mr. Conklin keeps on like he started it should be a Dilly did you know that he took stretch snot grass Walter Denton and his daughter Harriet out of my room and put them each in A different English class. Oh, yes, I know Harriet's in miss Enright's class now She's got your old room right next door too bad about the kids miss Enright has the room next door Yes, she drops in quite often to say hello to Mac the Mac, huh? Always said she's been interested in frog life frog life, huh? Mac are crazy about each other believe me. They're mated This Enright's quite fond of you miss Brooks In fact just the other day she was telling me how sorry she was that you had to work here in summer school While she was getting brown as a berry on a vacation. She paid you quite a nice compliment, too That I'd like to hear all right. She said that you were the only person she knew who could look so alive without any vestige of color in her face Oh, that kid has got to go I had no idea when I was given room 102 that she was Oh, it's miss Enright. Of course, you know miss Brooks. Oh, certainly. Hello dear miss Brooks. Hi You seem to have a little more color than usual. What happened cut yourself Just a minute miss and right hair looks simply lovely this morning. Did you make it yourself? Everything but the bun in the back. I had that done in the hamburger stand on the corner I'd ask you to sit down miss Enright But there aren't any chairs between these lab tables. Oh miss Enright doesn't need a chair come sit over here by me dear I'll light up this Bunsen burner for you Of course if you were just leaving anyhow, not just yet miss Brooks, uh, mr. Boynton I dropped in to give you a little present. Oh something you can wear at the football game tomorrow here Let me take it out of the box there Gosh an orange colored turtle neck sweater isn't it divine looks like a hot water bottle with sleeves It's beautiful, and it was very nice of you to knit it for me miss Enright Oh, I didn't knit it mr. Boynton This is part of a match said I bought at Sherry's department store. I Yeah, I have one exactly like it for myself. Oh if you bought it miss Enright I'm afraid I won't be able to accept it. It's against my principles to take anything I don't pay for oh, please mr. Boynton just consider it a premature Christmas present Well in that case, thank you miss Enright. I'd better hang it up in the cloakroom so it doesn't get creased Will you excuse me miss Brooks? Certainly. I'll stay here and chat with Santa Well miss Brooks I hear you may be our new faculty cheerleader, and I'd like to tell you I think it's a remarkable achievement What's so remarkable about it? Well the fact that you dare to indulge in such strenuous pursuits at your age I mean it's cheerleading really quite safe for you darling don't worry about me miss Enright If Rudy Valley can still lift a megaphone I can And I must say that sweater you gave mr. Boynton was a very nice method of vacuuming an invitation to the game Other than oh, you make it sound like a plot darling Don't you know that I never indulge in intrigue Subterfuges for those who need it. No my dear my hands are clean They should be considering all the time you must spend licking your paws Hinting that I'm not hinting anything miss Enright I just understand why you didn't knit that sweater yourself. You would have wasted too much time playing with the ball of yarn I Sometimes I think you're out of this world, but I know it's just wishful thinking Likewise, I'm sure but you'll have to excuse me now I've got to stop in at mr. Conklin's office before class. Well, I'll have to dash to I'm afraid I'm sorry I kept you late waiting ladies. Oh Are you leaving? Yes, I'd better get an early start. It's a sleeper jump to my room from here I'm glad you dropped in and thanks a million for that dandy sweater miss Enright. Well, you're very welcome mr. Barton. Goodbye. Bye Don't be strange. It's out of her hands So you see mr. Conklin Harriet Walter and stretch would like to be transferred to the same English class But why miss Brooks because they've all been together for several terms now and the kids miss each other You see they're friends and friendship is a very important thing to young people. Why? Because it is they derive a certain look mr. Conklin. Have you ever had a friend? A good question miss Brooks And much as it may surprise you the answer is in the affirmative when I was a rather small boy I was quite friendly with my mother Now then I'd like to change the subject but mr. Conklin. It's a very I see no reason whatsoever for transferring my daughter Harriet into the same class with A dunce like Walter Denton. But what about stretch snodgrass? That's different now. You're talking about the mind of the century. I Mean supposing you put Walter and stretch together what and create a half-wit Now before you return to your class miss Brooks, there's another matter. I'd like to broach to you Did you read the paper this morning? No, sir. I didn't I see then do you mind receiving some of the news in capsule form? Why should I mind? That's how I get my salary. I mean What news mr. Conklin well, it seems that Jason Brill got himself elected faculty cheerleader at the Clay City High Yes, yes, it was my idea, but he latched on to it Pilfered it from me last week Now you know how I feel about Jason Brill, don't you? I think so mr. Conklin to you He's a sort of an old Walter Denton worse if possible However, he's not going to get away with this miss Brooks. We're going to hold an election here at Madison this afternoon And I'm going to win it. I guess I'll rate as much newspaper space as that old Billy Godin in a pardon me mr. Conklin, but who's going to vote in this election while the undergraduate body of course I see well Then the outcome may not be as easy to foretell as you think you see mr. Conklin whereas on the one hand the students love admire and respect you. Yeah, and what did I do with that other hand? I am well aware of the mercurial nature of the student body's likes and dislikes miss Brooks However, if I were nominated by someone in whom they have always had faith Someone who could swing all her votes my way. I'd be assured of victory Someone like who it's whom miss Brooks. You don't have to tell me whom it's meme But mr. Conklin if I'm nominated in good faith would it be ethical to nominate you this is politics miss Brooks There's always room for compromise if you agree to nominate me for example I might see things your way on one of your pet projects Specifically those transfers you were concerned about a minute ago. You mean you'd transfer the kids back to my class Now we're interested aren't we? Of course if I did add those pupils to your class I'd have to move you to a larger room say back to 148 next to the biology lab What are you thinking miss Brooks just that when you became a principal Madison's gain was Tammany's loss And you'll do it fine now I think it's best that you keep the entire matter a secret until you actually place my name in nomination at the assembly this afternoon That way coming just before the voting the impact will be the greatest I'll have the nominating speech all ready for you by lunchtime. Let's see now. Have I overlooked anything just the getaway car with the motor running? Quiet quiet quiet, please quiet quiet and now we shall have a few words from your latest nominee a woman whose opinions We all value so highly our miss Brooks Now remember my dear read the speech I gave you in a nice clear voice and make the finish as impressive as possible. I will mr. Conklin. I may hang myself Students of Madison High it is indeed a rare occurrence when one candidate nominates another It is only when a man has such stature that he towers above all competition that one is forced to do so Move to do so move to do so Here at Madison we have such a candidate a man whose unquestioned spirit is only equaled by his qualities of leadership He has enthusiasm get up and go and I wish I could That is this candidate has long guided the destiny of this glorious institution of which I am proud to be an inmate Instructor instructor Therefore may I place in nomination and urge you all to vote for the man whose kindness Consideration and unselfishness is known to us all. I was good Conklin. I mean I was good Conklin I was good Conklin Thank You Harriet Now we shall proceed to that which is the inherent right and treasured privilege of every American the vote in order to speed things along I've decided that we can dispense with the antiquated written ballad Instead each student will simply file up to the platform and tell me who he's voting for First row, please Down Denton I'm afraid I second the objection sir the sanctity of the secret ballot is something Mr. Conklin has a motive in wanting to expedite matters. He's merely trying to railroad himself through Seems to be something wrong miss Brooks remember I won't keep my promise unless you keep yours Well, I'm trying to mr. Conklin students Students listen to me, please. I move that we elect mr. Mr. Conklin faculty cheerleader by acclamation Now, what do you say kids? Is it I was good Conklin by acclamation? Motion carried congratulations mr. Conklin Students you may rest assured that this overwhelming vote of confidence is not misplaced It may interest you to know that your new faculty cheerleader once threw a brass baton 50 feet into the air and caught it with one hand Unfortunately, we have no such baton on the premises or I'd be glad Hand that up here Walder. Here you are mr. Conklin a real drum majors baton Throw it up near the way you used to looks like you're on mr. Conklin Oh, yeah, let's see here. We twirl around like this. Oh, I remember now then That's a pretty good toss if I say so myself, but I've lost sight of it. Where did the confounded thing disappear? All together now gang a skyrocket two locomotives and a band-aid for mr. Conklin Turns in just a moment, but first dream girl dream girl beautiful Luster cream girl Tonight yes tonight show him how much lovelier your hair can look after a luster cream shampoo Luster cream world's finest shampoo No other shampoo in the world gives K.

Conklin rubbed his head At the end of the school day I ran into mr. Boyden as he was coming out of our principal's office And from what he told me I knew mr. Conklin had kept his end of the bargain Yes, indeed there certainly has been a lot of switching around miss Brooks miss n right's been moved into room 101 That's probably so I could have my old room back You know 148 next to your biology lab my old biology lab old biology lab You mean you've got a new one.
