About this book
Senior privileges look splendid to Polly Pendleton and Lois Farwell when they return to Seddon Hall: a shared corner room, the front staircase, and a new sense of importance. Their reunion with Betty and Angela soon absorbs them so completely that they forget to welcome homesick newcomers. Dorothy Whitehill builds this school story around the gap between feeling grown up and learning to consider other people.
Friendship takes shape through teasing conversations, shared rooms, and preparations for school occasions. Polly is uncomfortable when her classmates celebrate her courage after a ride, while a committee charged with writing the senior song struggles to turn laughter into suitable lyrics. The New York boarding school setting gives these small negotiations a close social world.
