Grace Harlowe's Second Year at Overton College
Oh, there goes Grace Harlowe! Grace! Grace! Wait a minute! A curly-haired little girl hastily deposited her suit case, golf bag, two magazines and a box of candy on the nearest bench and ran toward a quartette of girls who had just left the train that stood puffing noisily in front of the station at Overton.
The tall, gray-eyed young woman in blue turned at the call, and, running back, met the other half way. Why, Arline! she exclaimed. I didn't see you when I got off the train. The two girls exchanged affectionate greetings; then Arline was passed on to Miriam Nesbit, Anne Pierson and J. Elfreda Briggs, who, with Grace Harlowe, had come back to Overton College to begin their second year's course of study.
Those who have followed the fortunes of Grace Harlowe and her friends through their four years of high school life are familiar with what happened during Grace Harlowe's Plebe Year at High School, the story of her freshman year. Grace Harlowe's Sophomore Year at High School gave a faithful account of the doings of Grace and her three friends, Nora O'Malley, Anne Pierson and Jessica Bright, during their sophomore days. Grace Harlowe's Junior Year at High School and Grace Harlowe's Senior Year at High School told of her third and fourth years in Oakdale High School and of how completely Grace lived up to the high standard of honor she had set for herself.
After their graduation from high school the four devoted chums spent a summer in Europe; then came the inevitable separation. Nora and Jessica had elected to go to an eastern conservatory of music, while Anne and Grace had chosen Overton College. Miriam Nesbit, a member of the Phi Sigma Tau, had also decided for Overton, and what befell the three friends as Overton College freshmen has been narrated in Grace Harlowe's First Year at Overton College.
Now September had rolled around again and the station platform of the town of Overton was dotted with groups of students laden with suit cases, golf bags and the paraphernalia belonging peculiarly to the college girl. Overton College was about to claim its own. The joyous greetings called out by happy voices testified to the fact that the next best thing to leaving college to go home was leaving home to come back to college.
