Mr. Anthony's Love Clinic #5
An anthology featuring relationship advice and cautionary tales presented by Mr. Anthony, Director of Marital Relations. One story follows a young woman named Sue who fell deeply in love with a college athlete named Charles Davies; after he gave her his fraternity pin and they became betrothed, Charles died in a toboggan accident, leaving Sue consumed with guilt that her treatment of him contributed to his death—Mr. Anthony counsels her that she bears no responsibility and advises her to move forward and marry Charles, whom she later does. Another story, titled "Back in High School," deals with a young woman named Rosalind who becomes romantically involved with Larry Gardner, her high school sweetheart, only to realize she must leave him behind to pursue her college education and future prospects, though they part with mutual affection and memories.
