An anthology issue containing multiple romance stories. "I Couldn't Give Up My Secret Love" follows a girl who discovers her boyfriend Jerry kissing another girl at a dance, leading to conflict and misunderstandings with her friend Cheryl before the truth is revealed. Another story features a girl who writes a love letter to a boy named Chuck at Rhinelander College, carefully disguising her handwriting so no one will know who wrote it, and experiences anxiety waiting for his response. "Never Gamble" (continued from a previous issue) depicts a girl's relationship with a boy named Jimmy and her family's concerns about her future prospects and education.
