When it came time to vote for the winner, all chose - Dot Mundy. Meg was furious and blamed Tim that she lost.

Characters | Louella Parkins; Buzzy Brown |
Synopsis | Louella Parkins was the star of the Cobourne debate team, and they were off to Swanton for the State Championships. Last year, Louella had dated Buzzy Brown, captain of the Swanton team, and had fought hard to not fall in love with him. But when she saw him again, taller and even more handsome and manly, she couldn't help but swoon. Buzzy and she went to dinner, then bowling, and as he took her back to the dorm she asked why he looked so glum. He explained that he was an orphan, being raised by his uncle. After the loss to Cobourne the year before, he was told that if he didn't win the debate this year he would have to get a scholarship on his own if he wanted to go to law school. Even though he told Louella that both had to try hard to win, and it wouldn't matter, she couldn't get that out of her mind, until she heard whispering from the audience that Buzzy had used her; that it was just a story. Flipping the switch, she won the debate. Returning home, though, she learned that Buzzy had told her the truth and his uncle was making him go to work rather than go to college. Louella rushed to the train to Swanton and used all her skills to convince his uncle to support Buzzy, and he agreed as long as Louella would be there at Buzzy's side. |

Sylvia offered to tutor Jerry, and he passed the exam with flying colors. When Jerry asked her out this time, she accepted, ignoring her father, insisting that they go to the Crazy Nook, a night club her father had declared off limits to high school students.
