Trivia
During this period of production, Ken Osmond was serving in the U.S. Army Reserve and available to the series only on a limited basis, which accounts for why Eddie Haskell is not a part of the group that goes to the dance.

Goofs
When everyone gets into the car after the dance, eight people get in. That's the very reason why Wally wasn't allowed to go with Lumpy in the first place.

Correction: The reason Wally's parents didn't want them to go with Lumpy was mainly because it was Lumpy, with his traffic tickets and poor judgment.

Quotes
Theodore Cleaver: Hey Wally, how ya gettin' to the dance?
Wally Cleaver: Oh, Lumpy Rutherford's takin' a bunch of us guys in his car.
Theodore Cleaver: How much of a bunch?
Wally Cleaver: I think there'll be about eight of us.
Theodore Cleaver: Is Dad lettin' you do that?
Wally Cleaver: Gee, I don't know. I haven't asked him yet.
Theodore Cleaver: You better ask him, Wally. It sounds like one of those things he's liable to blow his top about.
Wally Cleaver: Now why would he do that?
Theodore Cleaver: I don't know. I guess 'cause it sounds like it'd be too much fun.

Driving Wally to The Dance

(*Ward to Wally quote*) - "Between now and Saturday you better find another way to get to the dance."

I guess that back in 1961 it was considered to be a total disgrace for a teenage boy to be seen being driven to a dance by either his father or his girlfriend (date).

I can't imagine why this would be so - But, here in this episode of TV's "Leave It To Beaver" Wally would sooner croak rather than have this sort of thing happen.

Anyway - As it turns out - Wally has himself a great time at the country club dance where Lumpy Rutherford gets what's coming to him.
