“We’ll advertise for the camera, but I can’t think of a senior girl who would take it for a joke or on purpose.”

Isabel Hunt and Virginia Hope, juniors, were together in a single room on Lakeview Corridor. It was the same room which Isabel had occupied with Avalon Moore when they first came to Greycliff. While the scholarship which Virginia had won the year before was a great help to her financially, she still felt that she must be as economical as possible, and single rooms cost less than suites, even when the expense of a suite was divided among four. Isabel said that she, too, was well suited by making careful plans, for Jim and her father were saving against the time when all the boys would be in the army and business might suffer. Then, Avalon Moore and Olivia Holmes, who had shared the suite with them, were not back this year. Avalon’s father was an officer in the regular army, and Avalon was with her mother and the other children, while her father was in France. Olivia’s people had moved from the South to California, where her sister lived.
