Jane rested her pretty head in her hands. Even for one schooled in school troubles, the settling of this perplexity assumed baffling proportions.
Finally she looked up with an expression of decision. Judith smiled expectantly.
"All right, Judy. We will call the meeting and make the announcement. Helen has agreed to take part in the play, and we have no reason--apparently--to think she would object to having her part in the program announced. Of course, I shall be careful to announce the entire program."
"Oh, you angel child! Woe is me that my ankle prohibits a jig!" and Judith flung her arms around Jane--Jane regained in apparent happiness and good nature.

The day of the final practice game--that which was to decide which team would have the honor to play the Breslins, found every member of all teams fairly quivering with anticipation.
Jane, Judith, Dozia and Drusilla held a little preliminary meeting at which the team's respective places were arranged. Judith, still incapacitated, was to serve as a scorer, and Norma Travers to take her place as forward.
"I am not afraid of any one but Dolorez Vincez," remarked the ever-wise Drusilla. "She has a form all her own."
"Yes, Dol is a wonderful player," agreed Jane. "I wonder where she got such fine training."
