THE FACULTY!
Teachers, Instructors and Coaches of the Lucyverse
Hereâs a tribute to all the teachers at the Lucyverse University!Â
Jean Valjean Raymond (Apache Dancing) played by Shepard Menken in âThe Adagioâ (1951). Ethel suggests the recently-arrived cousin of someone at the French laundry to teach Lucy how to dance the Apache. He turns out to be more interested in amore than apache!Â
Percy Livermore (English / Grammar / Elocution) played by Hans Conried in âLucy Hires an English Tutorâ (1952). Naturally, tutor Livermore has show business aspirations. Conried also played various teachers and instructors on Ballâs radio sitcom âMy Favorite Husband.âÂ
Madame LeMond (Ballet) played by Mary Wickes. LeMond was the premiere ballerina of the French Ballet. She puts Lucy through her paces at the barre.Â
Arthur âKing Catâ Walsh (Jitterbug) played by Arthur Walsh in âLucy Has Her Eyes Examinedâ (1953). In real life, Walsh was one of Hollywoodâs most popular Jitterbug dancers / actors. His first film role was as a Jitterbugging soldier in Stage Door Canteen (1935).Â
Robert Dubois (French) played by Alberto Morin in âThe French Revueâ (1953). A waiter moonlighting by giving French lessons, DuBois is really in show business and wants to audition for Ricky at the Tropicana. In reality, Morin was not French, but born in Puerto Rico!Â
Kitty Winslow (Dance) played by Lucille Ball in âK.O. Kittyâ (1958), an episode of the Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse. The dance instructor turns boxing coach when she âinheritsâ a prize fighter. Lucy Carmichael also coached a prize fighter (played by Don Rickles) in a 1967 episode of âThe Lucy Show.âÂ
Henry Taylor (Math) played by William Windom in âLucy Digs Up a Dateâ (1962). Although Jerry calls him âOld Man Taylorâ, he is a new young bachelor recently relocated to Danfield from San Francisco. He replaced teacher Mr. Lucas (a character we never see). In various episodes of âThe Lucy Showâ Jerry also talks about teachers named Mrs. Lopus and Miss Clementine.Â
Vito (Fencing Instructor) played by Vito Scotti, also in âLucy Digs Up a Dateâ (1962). He gives lessons at the new Danfield YMCA.Â
Professor Dr. Gitterman (Singing and Acting) played by Hans Conried in âLucyâs Barbershop Quartetâ (1963) and âLucy Plays Cleopatraâ (1963). The roles are reversed when Lucy uses his breath control techniques in âLucy Teaches Ethel Merman to Singâ (1964).Â
Dr. Adrian Vance (Chemistry) played by Lou Krugman in âLucy and Viv Take Up Chemistryâ (1963). Vance teaches night school at Danfield High.Â
Mr. Sheldon (Judo) played by James Seay in âLucy and Viv Learn Judoâ (1964). Sheldon runs a Judo and Karate studio in Danfield. During the lesson he is assisted by his prize students, Louis Coppola and Ed Parker, who were real-life martial arts experts hired for the episode.Â
Professor Guzman (Art) played by John Carradine in âLucy Goes To Art Classâ (1964). Guzman teaches Beginning Art Class at Haroldâs Stationery and Art Store in Danfield.  Â
Mickey Rooney (Acting) in âLucy Meets Mickey Rooneyâ. The school Mickey Rooney wants to open is called The Players Showcase.Â
When âLucy Gets Her Diplomaâ (1967) she attends Wilshire High School. There she has several teachers (top left to bottom right):
Larry Wilcock plays the Math teacher
Barbara Babcock plays the English teacher
Olive Dunbar plays the Biology teacher
Donald Randolph plays the History teacher
Ken Jones (Dance) played by Ken Berry in âLucy Helps Ken Berryâ (1968). Jones teaches a course of tap and soft shoe for $25.Â
Sister Mary Alice (Grade School Teacher) played by Mary Gregory in the film Yours, Mine and Ours (1968). Sister teaches Lucyâs son Philip and objects to him using his adopted name Beardsley, insisting he is still legally a North.Â
Buddy Rich (Drums) coaches Craig in âLucy and the Drum Contestâ (1970).
Mike Howden plays a Ski Instructor in âSomeoneâs On the Ski Lift with Dinahâ (1971).Â
Freddy Martin coaches Lucy Carter in the saxophone in âLucy and Her All-Nun Bandâ (1971). Martin was a saxophonist and band leader who first gained national attention in 1940 and continued on through the 1970s.
Professor Dietrich and Professor John Kleindorf played by Murray Matheson and John Davidson in âLucy and the Professorâ (1973). Kleindorf is the head of the music department of the college Kim attends. Dietrich is the author of the best-selling book Sex and the College Girl.
Jack Scott (Auto Mechanics) played by Robert Rockwell in âThe Not-So-Popular Mechanicsâ (1973). Scott teaches night courses at Valley Trade School. Rockwell is probably best remembered as biology teacher Mr. Boynton on âOur Miss Brooksâ (1952-56) opposite Gale Gordon and Mary Jane Croft, a series filmed at Desilu Studios.Â
Mr. Tweed (Pottery) played by Roger Twedt in âLucy and Uncle Harryâs Potâ (1973). Twedt was a real-life art teacher from Palm Springs, California. He also was Lucille Ballâs adviser for using the pottery wheel.

LUCY UNIVERSITY!
Classes, Lessons & Other Tutorials
The Lucy character was one of the most inquisitve characters on television. A basic education did not prevent Lucy from furthering her education. Here are some lessons learned by Lucy!
HIGH SCHOOL
âLucy Gets Her Diplomaâ (1967) ~ When Lucy Carmichael finds out the bank has a new policy of only employing high school graduates, she must go back to school to get her diploma in order to keep her job.Â
Lucy takes the usual classes - with a fair amount of physical comedy for extra credit. Her teachers include Dave Willock (Math), Donald Randolph (History), Olive Dunbar (Biology), and Barbara Babcock (English). The principal of Wilshire High School is played by George E. Carey.Â
MATH
âLiz Goes To Night Schoolâ (1950) ~ Liz's arithmetic skills are so bad, George sends her to night school where she somehow winds up in a math contest. Â
CHEMISTRYÂ
âLucy and Viv Take Up Chemistryâ (1963) ~ Viv regrets letting Lucy talk her into joining her for a night school chemistry class. Lucy gets carried away trying to invent a youth serum and develops a huge ego between explosions. The frustrated biology teacher is played by Lou Krugman.Â
To teach her a lesson, Viv and the professor make her drink her own concoction. Sheâs horrified by the results of her youth formula.
AUTO MECHANICS
âThe Not-So-Popular Mechanicsâ (1973) ~ Lucy Carter and Mary Jane take an adult school course in auto mechanics so they can change the oil on Harryâs vintage Rolls Royce. Their teacher is played by Robert Rockwell, who played biology teacher Mr. Boynton on âOur Miss Brooksâ opposite Gale Gordon and Mary Jane Croft.
MUSIC
âPiano and Violin Lessonsâ (1949) ~ Liz takes up the piano to win a radio talent contest. To get even, George starts learning the violin. Who will win?
âThe Benefitâ (1952) ~Â When Lucy wants to get into Rickyâs new act, sheâs determined to improve her singing. Â
Lucy Carmichael was given singing lessons by Dr. Gitterman (Hans Conried) in âLucyâs Barbershop Quartetâ (1963). She used those same techniques on Agnes Schmidlap (aka Ethel Merman) when âLucy Teaches Ethel Merman to Singâ (1964).Â
DANCE
âLucy Helps Ken Berry (1968) ~ Ken Jones (Berry) teaches a course of tap and soft shoe for $25. Lucy signs up and recruits a dozen truck drivers to participate - not your typical dance students.Â
âDance Lessonsâ (1950) ~ After a disastrous experience at a club dance, Liz and Iris send their husbands to Professor Crawfordâs School of the Dance. Instead of being greeted by  a befuddled old Professor, they meet his daughter, a breathless sexpot who immediately agrees to be their instructress.
RUDOLPH: âIâve seen those girls who teach at Arthur Murrayâs.â
âLiz Teaches Sambaâ (1950) ~ George talks Liz into teaching Wally, the son of the bankâs newest director, how to dance the Samba, and Wally gets a crush on Liz. The radio show served as the basis for...
âThe Young Fansâ (1952) ~ Lucy gives private dance lessons to Arthur Morton (Richard Crenna) so he can better woo Peggy Dawson, but he turns out to be more attracted to Lucy.
âThe Balletâ (1952) ~ Thinking Rickyâs new act requires ballet, Lucy attends a class led by Madame LeMonde (Mary Wickes). âAbbas! Â Abbas!â
âThe Adagioâ (1952) ~ Fred teaches Lucy to do the Apache dance for Rickyâs new act. When Fredâs lessons prove unhelpful, Ethel suggests Jean Valjean Raymond (Shepard Menken), a Frenchman who is more interested in amour than apache. This episode was partly inspired by....
FRENCH
âThe French Lessonsâ (1949) ~Â Liz and Iris are humiliated when they can't read the menu at a French restaurant, so they decide to take French lessons. The lessons lead to the prospect of a duel between her favorite husband George and her amorous French teacher, Jacques Duval (Rolfe Sedan). The radio episode inspired...
âThe French Revueâ (1953) ~Â A trip to a French restaurant makes Lucy think she should take French lessons from the waiter Robert DuBois (Alberto Morin) so she can take part in Rickyâs new show. Lucy later taught herself French when preparing for her trip to Europe.Â
DUBOIS: âIn French, everything it is either masculine or feminine. You Americans donât have that.â LUCY: âYou havenât been in this country very long, have you?â
ENGLISH
âThe English Tutorâ (1952) ~ So that her baby will be surrounded by proper elocation, diction and grammar, Lucy recruits tutor Percy Livermore (Hans Conried) to teach them how to speak properly - for free. Naturally, he has ulterior motives.
LIVERMORE (to Ricky): In lieu of the remuneration for my tutelage, I am to be permitted to introduce my talents into your nocturnal bistro.
ART
âLucy Goes To Art Classâ (1964) ~ To impress handsome bachelor John Brooks (Robert Alda) Lucy and Viv join him at an art class. The art teacher is played by John Carridine.Â
BROOKS: âI do believe that all of us have some sort of creativity bottled up inside of us.â LUCY: âI think this class might be just the thing to pop my cork!â
âLucy and Uncle Harryâs Potâ (1973) ~ When Lucy breaks a vase which has great sentimental value to Harry, she goes to a ceramics class to make him a new one â with dubious results! Her teacher is played by Roger Twedt, an actual high school art teacher from Palm Springs.Â
ACTING
âLucy Meets Mickey Rooneyâ (1966) ~Â Mickey Rooney takes out a loan from Mr. Mooney's bank to open an acting school. Lucy and Mooney each wangle free acting lessons.
EQUESTRIANISM
âHorseback Ridingâ (1949) ~Â Georgeâs female co-chair for his horseback riding clubâs upcoming breakfast ride has Liz so jealous that sheâs determined to overcome her fear of horses and learn to ride herself.
COLLEGEÂ
Fictional Pottawatomie College in New Mexico is the setting of Too Many Girls (1939), the film in which Lucille Ball first met Desi Arnaz, although their characters never meet on screen.Â
âLucyâs College Reunionâ (1963) ~ Lucy Carmichael (nee Taylor) goes back to her alumnus, Milroy College.Â
âLucy and the Professorâ (1973) ~Â Lucy hears her daughter is dating an older man, so she goes to Kimâs college to see for herself. Unfortunately, Lucy mistakes an elderly professor (Murray Matheson) for the younger one (John Davidson) that Kim is actually dating!
PROFESSOR KLEINDORF: âThanks Professor Dietrich. Youâre really groovy.â PROFESSOR DIETRICH: (points to his frown lines) âThese arenât grooves. Theyâre wrinkles.â
At Desilu Studios, Lucy opened the Desilu Playhouse, recruiting promising young performers to practice their craft under her tutelage, much in the same way Lela Rogers taught her at RKO. Some of the more famous graduates were Robert Osborne, Carole Cook, and Majel Barrett.Â
In the early 1980s Lucille Ball become Professor Ball, lecturing on comedy at UCLA. Â
Grade school students listen to Lucie Arnaz talk during Lucy Lessons, educational modules built around episodes of âI Love Lucy.â Â
