Our Miss Brooks, “Mr. Conklin’s Statue,” originally broadcast February 12, 1956, is episode 328. Eve Arden stars as English teacher Connie Brooks, with Gale Gordon as the ever-formidable Madison High principal, Osgood Conklin.
Conklin’s new “Carelessness Code” hits students and faculty with a string of petty fines—funds he plans to use for a very personal addition to the school library: a statue of himself. As objections grow and the proposed monument meets the library’s existing display, Miss Brooks finds herself caught in another classic Madison High predicament. The CBS broadcast was written by Al Lewis and Joseph Quillan and directed by Larry Berns.
Old Time Retro 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.
