I think that's Barbara Baxley, who played the teacher. Celia played her ESL student's mother.
Interesting that De Kelley appeared on Perry Mason, as he did a pilot for a character based on the same real person Perry Mason was based on. There's reference, and a link to the pilot on Youtube, somewhere on the forum, perhaps even in this thread. I don't have time to look for it now.

"333 Montgomery" (June 13, 1960) starred DeForest Kelley in the pilot episode of an unsold series written by Gene Roddenberry. It was based on the book Never Plead Guilty by San Francisco criminal lawyer Jake Ehrlich. Kelley acted in three separate pilots for Columbia, and the studio decided to try him in a lead and sent him to meet Roddenberry. Kelley and Roddenberry went to San Francisco to meet Ehrlich, who chose him for the lead. This event was crucial to Kelley's career because it introduced him to Roddenberry, later resulting in his Star Trek role.
