“There will be a meeting of the big team and substitutes in classroom A at 2 o’clock this afternoon. Please be prompt,” read Lois, standing in front of the bulletin board. She had finished her last exam. and was free for the rest of the week.
It was Thursday and just one week before Commencement. Mrs. Baird believed in having the examinations over before the excitement of the last days gave the girls something else to think about.
School continued, however, until three days before the close. The teachers took that time to go over the papers with the girls and have a general review.
Lois, still gazing at the notice, caught sight of her chum leaving the schoolroom and called to her:
“Hey, Polly, come here and look at this.”
“Hum! Wonder what it’s all about,” mused Polly after she had read it. “Do you know?”
“Final preparation for Field Day, of course.
Oh, Polly, if we’d only get a chance to play!” sighed Lois.
“No such good luck. You may, but I’ve had my chance. Why couldn’t I have waited and sprained my ankle for this game, when I’m not needed!” grumbled Polly.
“What! And missed Commencement! Poll, you’re crazy!”
