Candy #38
Candy features two stories: "Jonesty" follows a boy named Marvin who returns from vacation bearing down on his studies, prompting his father to encourage him, though the effort proves difficult—Marvin must complete his schoolwork before his next vacation begins in a year. In the main story, Candy agrees to help Mrs. Dawson with an art appreciation project involving photographs, hoping to win a contest and convince Ted to take his schooling seriously; Mrs. Dawson plans to keep their collaboration secret, though a lodge dinner and various complications ensue before Candy's scheme succeeds in inspiring Ted to focus on his studies.
