It was decided that Mrs. Baird and Miss Porter should cast each girl in her part.
Towards the end of the meeting, there was a knock on the door. Polly opened it. Louise Preston and Florence Guile stood in the hall.
"Don't let us disturb anything," Louise said, "but Miss Hale told us Mrs. Baird was here."
Polly pulled them into the room. "Oh, but I'm glad to see you," she cried. "We thought you'd never get here."
The meeting broke up at once, for the girls crowded round to welcome them. They had both been Seniors when the present class were Freshmen. Now they were Juniors at College, but like most of the Seddon Hall graduates, they always came back, at least once a year. The girls were all delighted to see them for they had been two of the most popular girls who had ever been in the school.
When the greetings were over, Polly and Lois claimed them, and carried them off to the gym. Louise had been Captain in her Senior year and was now on her college team, and Polly wanted her advice.
"Now, Lou, tell me just exactly what you think," she said after the game was over, and they were all four in her room.
"I think your team is fine, Polly, really," Louise said, sincerely, "but—"
"Yes, it's that but, I want to hear about," Polly prompted.
"The guards are your weak point. That one girl made four fouls. Miss Stewart didn't see them all, but I did," Louise said.
