Description
Our Miss Brooks, “Poison Ivy” (episode 217), originally broadcast on CBS on October 4, 1953. Also cataloged as “Trouble with the School Board,” this episode stars Eve Arden as Madison High English teacher Connie Brooks, with Gale Gordon as Principal Osgood Conklin.
On the opening day of school, Connie’s well-meant gift for Conklin turns into an awkward problem when the potted plant proves to be poison ivy. Robert Rockwell makes his first known broadcast appearance as biology teacher Philip Boynton, alongside regulars including Richard Crenna and Jane Morgan.
