High School Fred

High School Fred is an episode of The Flintstones.
== Summary ==
Mr. Slate calls Fred Flintstone into his office to meet with Mr. Rockhard. Rockhard informs Fred that since he missed his last two weeks of high school, he'll have to go to Bedrock High to complete them or else be terminated. Fred doesn't like this, but goes along with it. However, when he tells Wilma about being sent to school, she thinks he's going to executive school. He decides not to tell her the truth for now.
At Bedrock High, Fred fits in well with the teenagers, but has to wear a dunce cap for dunking Crystal's hair in the ink. He apologizes for it, and eventually begins breaking records on the athletic field and the malt shop. He comes home every night, tired and refusing to eat, saying he's not hungry. Finally, Wilma asks Barney Rubble to follow Fred. Barney sees him at the high school, and realizes it isn't executive school. He then follows Fred and the kids to the malt shop, where Fred chows down on 49 malts and ten bronto burgers. Fred soon realizes Barney is there, and tells him to keep the secret a bit longer.
Later, Barney, Betty, and Wilma go to the high school football game, and see Fred on the field. Only then do the women realize the truth. When Fred comes home, his wife and friends greet him with cheers. Realizing they know the truth now, he invites them all to his graduation.
During the graduation, Fred finally gets his high school diploma, and tells the students that only the young should go to high school, and concludes the speech by saying, "Oh, my aching back!"

*When the teacher tells Fred and the students they have a free period, they leave the school grounds, and go to the malt shop. In real life, they would have been punished or expelled for doing so on school time. Free periods are devoted to studying in the school library or study hall.
