Their sophomore days brought them a variety of experiences, pleasant and unpleasant, and, as in their freshman year, Grace and Miriam distinguished themselves on the basketball field.
Marjorie looked adoring admiration at her mother's clear-cut profile. "Do you suppose anyone will mistake us for faculty?" Both girls giggled softly at such an improbability. "I never went to a basketball game before," confessed Constance after a time. "What are those girls over there in the red paper hats and big red bows going to do?" "Oh, that's the sophomore class.
No one will ever find it anyway. Suppose it were found, who would know what it meant?" "Yes, but one would know," persisted Anne, "because I wrote 'Sophomore basketball signals' on the outside of it. Oh, dear, I don't see how I could have been so careless." "Poor little Anne," said Jessica, "she is always worried over something or other."
Although he saw it flounder in the skies as he floundered around on the Earth, Sang Huin was not exactly sure where the kite was struck to the ground. He thought of how so many years of his life were struck down in silence. Only June, the basketball star, had voice and opinions that could sway the parents. He was inconsequential, relegated to shadows.
"I do wish the rest of the basketball team would put in an appearance," said Grace, as she and Anne stopped to rest. "We need every minute we can get for practice. The opening game is so very near, and it's really difficult to get the gymnasium now, for the juniors seem to consider it their especial possession. One would think they had leased it for the season."
Many another girl who had climbed out of a third-story window, without even a rope to hold by, would have little strength left to play basketball much less to win the championship. I am very proud of you to-day, my dear," and she kissed Grace right on the deep, red scratch that marred her cheek. "She is a girl after my own heart," Miss Thompson was thinking, as she hurried to her office.
"I'll move to-morrow. This time it will have to be out of Wayne Hall, unless ." Then she shook her head almost sadly: "Not there," she added. "She wouldn't have me for a roommate." After the famous basketball game a marked change was noticeable in the attitude of the freshman class toward the Oakdale girls.
Sahwah was the idol of the athletically inclined portion of the school. Dick thought there never was such a player for a girl. Sahwah was full of basketball talk now, and made shrewd comments on the good and bad points of both teams, weighing the chances of each with great care. "Mechanicals' center is shorter than ours; we have the advantage there.
During the early part of this period it is unwise and dangerous for girls to take part in such strenuous athletic games as basketball, or for boys to indulge in football. Later when strength and equilibrium have been restored, these games may be practiced without danger. But the greatest of all changes, the one fundamental to adolescent life, is the development of the sex instincts.
"Why, about Miss Pierson's true character," replied the girl. "Miss Pierson's true character?" repeated Mrs. Gray. "I don't understand what you mean." "That she is dishonorable and treacherous. She betrayed the sophomore basketball signals to the juniors, and then denied it, when her class had positive proof against her.
