"Some of you girls weren't here that night, but at least half of you were." "I ought to remember it," declared Elfreda significantly.
"Yes, Elfreda, it was in honor of you, I believe," laughed Arline.

The dinner to which Mabel referred belonged to Elfreda's freshman year at Overton.
"It was indeed," affirmed Anne Pierson.

"Every one of our four years brought its own parties." "And its own problems," supplemented Miriam.
"Of whom we were which," murmured J.Elfreda.
Every one laughed at this naive assertion.
"But we've all turned out creditably," smiled Miriam Nesbit, "thanks to our Loyalheart.

She opened the way to good comradeship for me, long ago, in my high school days." "She found my father for me!" said Ruth Denton, her eyes eloquent.
"She stood by me when I needed her most," said Anne.
"Girls, I won't--" Grace half rose from her chair, but was gently shoved into it again.
"Sit still and hear the rest of your misdeeds," commanded Mabel.

"Go on, Arline." "She helped me to be unselfish and to think of others," was Arline's sweet tribute.
"She made me over," asserted Elfreda with emphasis.
"She taught me college spirit," said Kathleen softly.
"Sara and I didn't like college and never had much fun until Grace asked us to join the Sempers," declared Sue Emerson.
"She was the first to welcome me to Overton, and has given me countless good times since then," said Patience.
"She taught me to look for the best rather than the worst, even in my enemies," declared Mabel Ashe.
Elizabeth Wade, Marian Cummings and Elsie Wilton each added their tribute.
"Girls, if you only knew how terribly this embarrasses me," pleaded Grace.
