Quick-witted Jerry was the first to make the announcement, “I’ve thought of one.”
Inspiration did not come so easily to the others, however.
“I can never think of anything like that on the spur of the moment,” lamented Harriet. “The only thing that sticks in my brain is ‘The Serious Sanford Seniors,’ which is awful.”
“Mine is even worse,” snickered Susan Atwell. “All I can think of is ‘The Happy Hustlers.’”
“Mine’s ‘The Ever Ready Club,’” smiled Irma. “But that’s not an interesting name.”
“It wouldn’t be a bad name for us,” praised Marjorie. “I thought of ‘Bon Aventure’ but it really ought to be a good plain English name, instead of a French one.”
“‘Bon Aventure’ sounds very pretty,” asserted Constance. “Mine is ‘The Searchlight Club.’”
“That’s good!” came from two or three of the circle.
“My naming faculty isn’t working,” was Muriel’s rueful cry. “I can’t think of a single thing. Go ahead and tell us yours, Jerry. I know you are anxious to.”
“When first it came to me, it seemed pretty good, but I like the other names just as well. What I thought of was the ‘Lookout Club.’ You see that is what we are going to pledge ourselves to do. We must look out for others who need our help.”
