Show Notes
Our Miss Brooks presents “Deacon Jones,” episode 296, originally broadcast on CBS on July 3, 1955. Eve Arden stars as the ever-resourceful Madison High English teacher Connie Brooks, alongside Robert Rockwell as Mr. Boynton and Gale Gordon as Principal Osgood Conklin.
During summer recess, Connie considers tutoring the children of Deacon Jones’s traveling hillbilly square-dance troupe—but the job calls for more than teaching. As she tries to qualify for the opportunity, Mr. Boynton, Walter Denton, and Conklin become entangled in a lively Madison High mix-up. Written by Al Lewis and Joseph Quillan.
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.
