“Let’s think it over and wait,” suggested Pauline. “Appoint a meeting and we can elect our officers, select a name, and see if we want to have an ‘object’ and what it shall be, and decide if we want to add any other members now.”
The girls all thought that a sensible suggestion.
“But I think we’d better go right to work at the literary society, don’t you?” queried Hilary.
“Yes,” said Isabel with promptness. “If we don’t, some other society of the collegiates will grab that room.”
“Not if Miss Randolph has promised it to us,” said Cathalina.
“Why not have a committee appointed now,” said Juliet, “to write a little constitution and some ‘by-laws’? I move that the chairman appoint such a committee.”
This was duly done, Hilary, Helen and Juliet consenting to be the committee.
“One other thing, girls,” said Hilary. “We shall have to have a senior academy meeting to organize right away. Don’t you think we ought to speak to some of the girls about it and have a notice of a meeting read in chapel or in the dining room tomorrow?”
“Yes,” answered several. “You write the notice, Hilary, or see some of the old officers, and we’ll all speak to the other girls,” Eloise suggested. “When shall our meeting for the club and the literary society take place?”
“Saturday evening?”
