Our Miss Brooks - "Faculty Cheerleader" (1949)

Our Miss Brooks, “Faculty Cheerleader,” originally broadcast September 18, 1949. Commonly cataloged as episode 58, this back-to-school comedy stars Eve Arden as Madison High English teacher Connie Brooks, with Gale Gordon as Principal Osgood Conklin and Jeff Chandler as Mr. Boynton. As Madison High prepares for its first football game of the season, Conklin revives the idea of selecting a faculty cheerleader—only to find a rival principal has already claimed the honor. School-spirit politics, a faculty election, and Miss Enright’s conspicuous orange turtleneck gift for Mr. Boynton keep Connie, Walter, Harriet, and the rest of the Madison High crowd busy. Written and directed by Al Lewis for CBS. Old Time Comedy Radio presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
