My Life, True Stories in Pictures #9

Synopsis

Mary is an orphan who lives with her invalid Uncle Jack. Their poverty means she has no social life in high school. Fellow student Fred is nice to her but the other girls are mean and catty. After graduation, Mary gets a job as a waitress at a low-class “hash house” to save money for college. Fred asks her to marry him but his father objects and Fred backs down. When Uncle Jack dies, Mary moves away and enrolls in college. She dates Walter but he dumps her when he learns of her lower-class origins. Fred apologizes to Mary and they reconcile.
