Our third episode finds Mrs. Davis, Miss Brook’s landlady, styling her very own outlandish hats to sell for Mother’s Day. They are really two hats in one, featuring apples on side, and sparrows on the other...quite a feat for Miss Brooks when she agrees to sell four of the hats to the faculty of Madison High school...with one being sold as a sunshade for a horse!

The brilliant comedienne Eve Arden brought wit and charm to the role of Connie Brooks, Madison High School's favorite English teacher. She stood at the center of one of radio's best casts, and her performance makes Our Miss Brooks one of the best sitcoms of the era. In honor of her birthday, we'll hear a pair of episodes - first, there's a cafeteria boycott in the works at Madison (originally aired on CBS on March 13, 1949). Then, Miss Brooks joins her students in a summer job (originally aired on CBS on June 19, 1949).

The Western Sullivan Public Library and The Act Underground Theatre Company present a vintage 1940’s Radio Series beginning with Our Miss Brooks, written by Al Lewis and directed by Greg Triggs, with sound effects by Alan Kehoe. In this second episode, “Switchboard Switcheroo”. The professional rivalry between Miss Brooks and Daisy Enright extends into their personal lives. In fact to see these two English teachers engaged in on of their frequent verbal tiffs, one might either one would cut each other throat for a nickel. No, this isn’t so…And yet again… Hilarity rules!
