“Great! Bully!” exclaimed Angela and Connie when they had heard the plan. “Why didn’t any one ever think of it before?”
“We can take bacon in jars, and rolls, and broil the bacon over a regular camp fire,” suggested Connie.
“And I’ll make up a new song just to the Seniors. None of the other classes have ever done that,” announced Angela.
“If we don’t hurry back the Seniors will think we’re lost,” reminded Polly. Then with a sigh she added: “I do hope the rest of the class will like the idea.”
They did. A class meeting was called and everybody voted it a dandy plan. The two Dorothys said their only objection would be in case the Spartan were chosen for chaperone. The rest laughed at the very thought and Polly promised to annihilate the first one to make such a horrible suggestion.
Lois was chosen to ask Mrs. Baird, and returned from the office with her full permission.
The day was set for the following Friday night, and Angela was told to write a song.
In the corridor that evening as the girls were talking over the plans for the party, one of the maids appeared with a covered tray.
“From the Seniors,” she explained, handing it to Lois. “For Miss Polly, Miss Betty, Miss Angela, Miss Connie, and you.”
“Food!” exclaimed Betty. “Why, the Seniors aren’t such ungrateful wretches as I thought them.”
