☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue contains multiple stories featuring Kathy and her friends in comedic situations. One story, "Beat the Band," follows Chester as he attempts to carry home his bass fiddle after music class, leading to mishaps with a girl named Ginger. Another story shows Kathy hosting a party to celebrate her exam marks, which her father Hank disapproves of, fearing the teenagers will wreck his living room. The issue also includes a maze puzzle and various advertisements, including a job recruitment ad for government positions.
Kathy dreams of impressing a wealthy suitor with a fancy new dress for an important Saturday night date, but when her parents won't fund her wardrobe, she takes a job as a waitress to earn the money herself. Between her clumsy mishaps at Ye Olde Tea Roome and her boyfriend Hank's unexpected arrival as a busboy, the evening spirals into hilarious chaos that teaches her a lesson about what really matters in dating.
Kathy's desperate to catch her favorite TV show, "Romantic Rendezvous," but her parents ban her from watching after she feuds with her little brother over the remote—so she bolts through a rainy night to a friend's house to catch it instead. When a case of mistaken identity and a tumble through the wrong front door land her in the middle of someone else's TV party, the evening spirals into chaos, and Kathy ends up learning that sometimes real-life drama beats anything on the screen.
Chester volunteers to help Ginger carry her new bass fiddle home from school, but the oversized instrument becomes an unwieldy obstacle course through the city—bouncing off pedestrians, getting stuck in revolving doors, and riding solo up an elevator that Chester must race to catch. By the time they finally reach the music store to buy a carrying case, Chester's earned every bruise, only to discover that Ginger's troubles with the instrument are just beginning.
When Kathy and Hank plan a celebration party in the family attic, her father Harold shuts them down fast—until the teens raid an old trunk and model vintage clothes from their parents' youth, sparking a hilarious trip down memory lane. Armed with period getups and a song-and-dance routine, the kids remind their stuffy elders just how wild *they* used to be. It's a charming reminder that every generation thinks the next one is crazy—until they remember their own youthful antics.
