☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue contains multiple stories. In the lead "Freddy" story, Freddy hosts a party where guests enjoy food and music, but when food runs low, he takes his date out for sandwiches and ice cream. A separate story features Freddy babysitting a mischievous boy named Razz who refuses to sleep and causes chaos by jumping on the bed and acting out, keeping Freddy awake throughout the night. The issue also includes an educational text feature titled "Pitter Patter on the Platter," which traces the history of the phonograph from Edison's cylinder recordings through the development of disc records and the impact of radio on the industry.
Freddy boasts to his chemistry teacher that he'll build and launch his own artificial satellite—and though nobody believes him, he sets out to prove them wrong by constructing a makeshift rocket and satellite from household scraps. When his furry friend accidentally becomes the unlikely propulsion system for his contraption, Freddy's impossible dream somehow manages to get off the ground in the most unexpected way possible.
Freddy decides he needs to learn about the business world and discovers that executives can write off entertainment expenses—a loophole he's eager to exploit. When he throws a neighborhood party at Mac's Snack Shack and tries to convince the owner to cover the bill as a tax deduction, his clever scheme backfires in the most practical way possible. It's a humorous lesson in how teenage entrepreneurship doesn't always match up with real-world business rules.
When crooner Danny Boonehead comes to town for a week, Freddy and his pals are suddenly invisible—every girl in school wants to catch Danny's act instead of actually hanging out with them. But when a talent manager holds auditions at the high school looking for fresh voices, an unexpected contestant stumbles onto something that might just change the game.
When Margie reluctantly takes a waitressing job at the Ox Bow Country Club to gain experience meeting people, her complete lack of table-service skills and quick wit turn every shift into comedic chaos. Her wisecracks and mishaps — from botched tablecloth tricks to creative interpretations of customer requests — somehow win over the restaurant's management in this lighthearted 1959 romp.
Freddy gets roped into babysitting the spirited young "Razz" Berry while Razz's mother goes out for the evening, and the pint-sized troublemaker proves to be a match for anyone trying to get him to bed. When Freddy schemes to frighten Razz into submission—disguising himself as a crook—he discovers that the clever kid has his own tricks up his sleeve. It's a battle of wits between a reluctant teenage babysitter and a judo-savvy pint-sized prankster who refuses to cooperate.
