Tom takes his exam, but he later admits to Connie that during the test, he couldn't focus on astronomy; he was thinking about her. Tom declares that with Connie, he's "Lucky in Love." Professor Kenyon grades Tom's test and knows that Tom deserves a failing grade, but because Kenyon is an alumnus of Tait and a loyal football fan, he keeps that secret and instead gives Tom the lowest passing grade so he can play in the big game. At the pep rally that evening, the students sing the "Tait Song" as the school band plays. Bobby announces that if Tom wins the game tomorrow, Patricia has promised to marry him. During a chorus of "Lucky in Love," Connie faints and falls into Tom's arms ("Finaletto").
