“It is moved and seconded,” announced Bert, “that the design be accepted. All in favor will signify it by saying Aye.”
There was a small chorus of Ayes.
“Contrary, No. It is a vote. Now the question is whether the cup is to be made of silver or pewter.”
“That’ll depend on how much money we raise, won’t it?” asked Lanny. “I think, though, it ought to be silver.”
“Of course it ought,” declared Nan. “We wouldn’t want to present a pewter cup, would we?”
“The hockey cup is only pewter,” said Bert.
“I know, but we wouldn’t want to present anything to the school that we’d be ashamed of,” responded Nan. “Besides, a silver one wouldn’t cost more than ten or twelve dollars, would it, Bert?”
“I shouldn’t think so. It would depend on how big it was. How big had you figured it to be, Small?”
Small shook his head. “I didn’t think about that. I guess it could be any size.”
