Ginger and her friends are graduating junior high school, and Ginger is asked to give the speech at graduation.

Macie's new band mate has his eye on her, Darren gets involved in football, and Dodie with cheerleading. Carl and Hoodsey and their classmates are graduating elementary school as well, and it comes up that Polly Shuster trick into putting Carl's petrified eyeball, Blake's tonsils, and Mr. Licorice's tooth into a time capsule.
