Episode Description from the Publisher

Our Miss Brooks, “Helping Hands” (episode 306), originally broadcast September 11, 1955. Eve Arden stars as Madison High English teacher Connie Brooks, with Gale Gordon as Principal Osgood Conklin and Robert Rockwell as bashful biology teacher Philip Boynton.As the new school term approaches, Connie is eager to see Mr. Boynton again, but unsettling signs around Madison High—including Conklin’s sour mood, shabby appearance, and a bundle of laundry—set off a round of well-meaning speculation. This CBS broadcast, sponsored by Anacin and Heet, reuses the script from the September 10, 1950 episode “Rumors.”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.Chapters:00:00 Victor Sterling Introduction00:54 Original Broadcast30:06 ClosingBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/old-time-comedy-radio-old-time-radio--7219644/support.Support Old Time Retro Radio at https://www.patreon.com/oldtimeretroradio
