The finals of the Junior Giant Slalom ski event are about to start. Buddy sets a new course record and Red Jones steps to the forefront to take all the glory for himself, as if he were responsible for Buddy's win. When it's Dick's turn, he also, sets a new course record. Red tries to declare the timers incorrect, but Dick's win stands. Red has to eat his racoon cap in front of all the spectators and uses it as a photo-op for himself. He didn't really eat the cap, there was a steak hidden underneath. Red now plans to "discover" Flagpole for his basketball ability and to teach Chuck a lesson. |

Opera |
| Featuring: |
The Note-Book |
| Synopsis: |
Burt takes the boys camping and while building a fire tells them about the first operas, written in Florence, Italy around 1600. Monteverdi brought melody to the opera stage in 1607. In the 18th century, Christophe Gluck led a movement against the Neopolitan type of operas. Gluck's first operas were based on Greek myths. In Austria in the 18th century, Mozart began to write opera. His music helped carry the mood of the opera and described what was happening on stage. In the USA, we have musicals like Porgy and Bess, which describes life among poor southern Negroes. |
