“I can’t imagine it. Kathryn, notice how Peggy acts when you see her and if I were you I’d feel around with some reference to something of the sort. I’ll wager you’ll find Peggy as ignorant as can be of even what you mean. You’ll find out that Peggy Pollard is all right. And by the way, I hear that they are having little sororities in spite of the rules. If it is all right, and the authorities allow it, why not? There’s one in our class started! The question is who started it, and why, and how, and if so, can we make it, and do we want to make it——”
Carolyn was obliged to stop for breath.
“Hum,” said Kathryn. “Yes, I’ve heard about it, but I didn’t tell Betty. I heard Betty’s father say that he was glad there weren’t any sororities in high school!”
“Poor Mr. Lee!” exclaimed Carolyn. “Betty, do you know what you’re going in for this year—swimming, I suppose?”
“Oh, yes. But no, I haven’t thought about it. I took everything with such seriousness last year; but if I want to, I’ll sign up for a number of things this year. They don’t meet often, and you can always stop if you can’t keep on, and I’d love to be on some team, if there’d be no trouble about it.”
“There’s always trouble about making a team. There are too many that want to be on it.”
“But you can try out, and if you stand better than somebody else, you get it and she doesn’t. That oughtn’t to make trouble.”
“Why don’t you try out for the hockey team in the fall and the basketball in the winter?”
“Perhaps I will. Wait till the time comes. Oh, there’s your car, Carolyn. What a shame!”
“Yes, and I haven’t made a date with you at all.”
