Subject Matter
Genres: romantic
Character(s): Barbara Brill; Clark Thorne; Mrs. Brill; Jack Simmons; Betty
Synopsis: High school athlete Barbara is sensitive about her femininity and lack of dates. Clark offers her a full scholarship to State U. but she says she’s going to an all-girl college out of state.

Barbara falls in love with Clark and decides to go to State U.

Reprint Notes: Probably reprinted from Hi-School Romance (Harvey, 1949 series) 49 (March 1956). However, #49 is not currently available to verify this. The page discrepancy can be explained because this story actually begins on the "Contents" page but the story-page numbering begins on the next page (which has the title) with "1."
