Promotion
In the spring of 1959, a joint effort between the producers of Goodyear Theatre and the publishers of Practical English magazine involved approximately 500,000 high school students in a study based on the program's April 17, 1959, episode. An issue of the magazine that contained the complete script of "I Remember Cavair" went to teachers prior to the broadcast to enable students to read the script and perform it in their classes. After the program was presented on TV, students were to evaluate that performance and compare it with their own.
