This issue contains two stories. In the first, Margie's multiple boyfriends compete to win her affection, with various schemes including one boy trying to impress her by claiming to have a shining car and money to spend. The story culminates with Margie realizing the boys are motivated by love when one of them smiles at her. The second story, "Captain Kid or The Captain of the Team," features a young boy who impresses others by catching a football, then gets selected as captain of the football team despite having obtained the ball through a risky chance rather than skill.

Too Many Quirks
5 pp · Humor, Teen

Margie is smitten with the glamorous movie star Quirk Douglas, who’s visiting her town on a tour, and convinces her father to introduce them. As Quirk performs a series of athletic stunts—skiing, swimming, dancing—Margie keeps encountering what she thinks are his doubles, leading to a series of increasingly absurd and playful mishaps.

Unfair Competition
5 pp · Humor, Teen

Margie is caught in a whirlwind of romantic attention when Freddie and Reggie both claim she’s promised to them for the dance, only to be left confused when they both mysteriously cancel—first Freddie with a mysterious "shining hour," then Reggie with a trip "with royalty." Determined to uncover the truth, Margie follows them and discovers their secret: they’ve been spending their time polishing a car and caring for a dog named Princess, all in hopes of impressing someone else.

Untitled Humor story

Music Maestro Please
5 pp · Humor, Teen

Harvey, convinced he’s destined to be a concert hall maestro, accidentally stumbles into a real orchestra rehearsal where he’s mistaken for the drummer. As he’s thrust into the role, his chaotic, improvised drumming—inspired by a caterpillar on a drum—unexpectedly earns praise, leaving him bewildered and caught in a whirlwind of musical mayhem.

The Lout the Tout and the Lady!
5 pp · Humor, Teen

A young man new to town, Josh, arrives with a country demeanor that amuses and charms Margie, who's eager to introduce him to city life. When a movie star pretending to be a farm boy shows up at the dance, Margie is fooled—until the truth is revealed, leading to a playful showdown between the real hayseed and the fake celebrity.

The Captain of the Team
4 pp · Humor

Captain Kid declares himself the captain of a football team after winning a ball in a charity raffle, confidently assuming he’ll be the quarterback—much to Pudgy’s amusement. When the team’s disastrous game ends with Captain Kid accidentally scoring for the opposing side, Pudgy takes over as both captain and quarterback, leading the team in a playful tackle session.
