“Miss Wilkinson is our new class president, Miss Winthrop, and she’ll be terribly busy this year.”
“And that’s too great an honor to resign,” put in Daisy.
“No, it isn’t,” said Marjorie, “not, at least, for something worth while. But I don’t feel as if I could do much with these girls.”
“Try!” urged Miss Winthrop. “Meet with them next Saturday night—and decide then!”
“All right,” agreed Marjorie, “as you say.”
But Marjorie Wilkinson never did things by halves; in spite of Lily’s vigorous protests, she handed in her resignation that night as president of the senior class.
CHAPTER V.
THE FIRST MEETING.
After Marjorie had made her decision to meet the girls again, she spent the spare time of her entire week trying to persuade Lily to adopt her view of the matter. But Lily positively refused to be persuaded. She was not going down to that place again to be ridiculed—her time was too valuable. If Marjorie chose to do such foolish things, she must do them alone.
Her roommate’s opposition made it a little hard for Marjorie, but did not deter her from keeping her promise to Miss Winthrop. Lily was always cautious, not nearly so prone to run into new undertakings as her chum; but she was usually willing to follow later on. In reality Marjorie had no doubt of Lily; if she won the girls, she would certainly win her.
