“You certainly are smart,” said Ethel, “to get all those points.”
“No,” said Marjorie, “I’m just lucky! I love games. I guess that is why I’m so crazy about athletics.”
“But maybe the gym teacher has something to do with that,” teased Ruth.
After refreshments were served, the girls sang some school songs, and a few danced together out in the spacious hall. Before they realized it, the clock struck half-past five.
“Oh, I must go!” exclaimed Marjorie. “Lily will be wondering what has become of me.”
“Lily!” said Ruth contemptuously, “you don’t mean to say you bother with her?”
“Why, yes, of course; she’s my room-mate.”
“Such a girl! I never could be nice to her. Nobody likes her.”
The freshmen thanked their hostess for the lovely time, and walked back together.
“Wasn’t it perfect?” exclaimed Marjorie.
