"And no doubt they'd feel the same, so it will put us all on our mettle."
"I think it's a gorgeous idea; but how's it going to be run?"
"That's just the point. Each school is to have its own separate committee, and then send delegates to a general committee. There are to be five departments: Musical, Dramatic, Arts and Handicrafts, Literary, and Games, and we're to choose two delegates for each."
"Who's to do the choosing? Miss Cartwright?"
"No, it's to be put to the vote of the upper school. One must be from the Sixth and one from the Fifth, each form to vote for its own delegate."
"That sounds fair enough."
"Can we choose the same delegate for two subjects?"
"I shouldn't think so."
"Let me see—Musical, Dramatic, Arts and Handicrafts, Literary, and Games," said Maudie Stearne, ticking them off on her fingers. "Yes, I have somebody in my mind's eye for each. Mildred Lancaster, of course, for music."
