This was the teacher of physical culture, Miss Kane, who had returned to the gymnasium for a moment, arriving just in time to witness the whole scene.

She, too, had had trouble at various times with the junior class, particularly Julia Crosby, who invariably tried her patience severely.

She had been heard to pronounce them the most unruly class she had ever attempted to instruct.

Therefore her sympathies were with the retreating sophomores, and with set lips and righteous indignation in her eye, she resolved to lay the matter before Miss Thompson, at the earliest opportunity.
Miss Thompson listened the next day with considerable surprise to Miss Kane's account of the affair.

No one knew the mischievous tendencies of the juniors better than did the principal.
