The story opens with Judy determined to beat the slacks off Tootsie Whiteman by soliciting contributions to the Community Relief Fund-the winner to be Queen and lead the grand march at the school dance. Soliciting is too slow, however, and she enters a whole raft of con- tests, as a means of raising some quick money-using her parent’s names. The results are disastrous. Judy’s father wins honorable mention In a nation-wide contest for the most klssable lips. But Judy is not one to give up easily. She tries her hand at writing and concocts a True Confession script gets mixed up with Mrs. Foster’s speech to the P.T.A., and when she is unable to give the speech herself, it is read for her. Judy’, meanwhile, has been trying to Interest a theatrical producer in giving her and Mitze jobs as actresses. They even d o a scene from the high school spring play for the astonished producer.

On top of this, Oogie barges in -and tells Judy he’s tired of waiting for her to make up her mind. He’s accepted Tootsie ' Whiteman’s invitation to the dance. Judy prac- tically dissolves in tears. Life has reached tragic proportions for Judy, but before the evening is over she almost makes a new conquest, is mixed up in a near elopement-and, finally, In a last minute mad rush, goes to the dance with Oogie. And, believe it or not, she Is crowned Queen, too, as Tootsie has a bad case of the hives. Charlotte Carman was in charge of advertising and Con Cohrs handled the tickets.
