This was such an elaborate setup for “I found them in the wastebasket.” I was thinking they’d been stolen. I thought Marcie the likeliest culprit (Franklin didn’t appear in this arc, and having some random extra we’d never seen before as the guilty party would be pretty weak writing). I thought she’d stolen them so she could give some to Pep to make her feel better.
I guess this works too. Elaborate build-ups for underwhelming punch lines have a charm of their own.

But the star was given to someone using Pattys’ name. So did the teacher believe she was giving it to her?

And that’s a new low for Patty.

But the score went into Ms Tenure’s grade book under Peppermint Patty’s name. So a little less “Aaugh!”.

Yeah, kid… If a dog can do better in school than you, you need some serious help!

Maybe a silver star until the gold stars were found?

At this point, maybe Miss Tenure should give Peppermint Patty a Gold Star for finding them in the wastebasket.

I remembered this punchline from 47 years ago; some things are so good they just stick with you.

Will this help Peppermint Patty understand irony? Doubtful.

How did he get a star if they were missing while Snoopy was a student.

Yep. Everybody but Patty has gotten a gold star.
