"What about the dramatic fund?" inquired, Rosemary, not intentionally sarcastic. "I thought they wanted the money." "Too soon after Christmas," grinned Jack. "No, I guess the six of us will have to represent the school. Is that Sarah over there with the red hat?" "Yes, it is," answered Rosemary, beckoning to her sister.
