In trying to get the attention of the boys, for a date to the Spring Prom, Hiloegarde won the debate Contest with a speech about HAVING A ORUNKARO FOR A FATHER.” EVERY ONE THOUGHT SHE WAS SPEAK- ING of her own father, (Dick Means) who was disgraced and nearly FIREO FROM HIS JOB AT THE BANK. HlLDEGAROE1S BROTHER, 008, (JlM Doody) tolo her the only way to get a oate was to oevelop muscles LIKE HIS GIRL ELLIE Mae, (OElORIS HiLD). HOWEVER, HER MOTHER (JOAN Ault), in trying to help, got her a oate with Freddie Shermer, the SON OF her father’s BOSS.

It SEEMS THAT THE ONLY PERSON HlLDEGAROE COULD CONFIDE IN WAS HER sister Sally (Edna Jean Wetcnkamp) who stuck with her through nTH|CK AND THIN.” Her father invited the boss and his wife (Pat Rogers) to an unexpected tea to prove to them this was a perfectly normal family. The Shermers came only to find ginger ale bottles; 9o8’s 12 pound 3ASS IN The bathtubjHi.degarde with beauty muo smeareo on her face; ano Jimmie's Electric Wormer digging worms like muo all over the front law. However, everything turns out fine. Freooie gets long pants, and Mr. Shermer gives him the keys to the car so that he can take HlLDEGAROE TO the OANCE.
