Notes
When the television rights for the original silent Pathé Our Gang comedies were sold to National Telepix and other distributors, several episodes were retitled. This film was released into the 16mm home movie market under the title "Graduation Day" and into a television syndication as "Mischief Makers" in 1960 under the title Little Red Schoolhouse. About two-thirds of the original film was included.
