Teen-Age Romances #33

1953-09-01 · 37 pages

A girl named Joan teases her younger sister Betty and later meets a boy named Ray Johnson at a New Year's party; they date steadily, but Ray's father orders him to Japan to sit out the occupation, forcing Joan to devise a plan to make Ray marry her before he leaves. Joan attempts to manipulate Ray into proposing by creating compromising situations and trying to lure him away from other girls, but Ray remains reluctant to take the "big leap," leading Joan to consider asking her Uncle Bert—a theatre critic—for help in getting Duke Sands to single her out instead. When Duke attends a theatre performance, the plan backfires as Jack (presumably an actor or performer) steals the show, and Joan ultimately discovers that true love requires honesty; the story concludes with Jack and Maureen, a theatre school student, getting engaged after Jack performs in a play, suggesting Joan learns her lesson about authentic relationships over manipulative schemes.
