Grace Harlowe’s Junior Year at High School

CHAPTER XVI
9/13

The juniors set their teeth and waded in with all their might and main, setting a whirlwind pace that caused their fans to shout with wild enthusiasm and fairly dazed their opponents.

Grace alone netted four foul goals, and the sensational playing of Nora and Miriam was a matter of wonder to the spectators, who conceded it to be the fastest, most brilliant half ever played by an Oakdale team.

The game ended with the score 15 to 6 in favor of the juniors, whose loyal supporters swooped down upon them the moment the whistle blew and pranced about, whooping like savages.
"That was the greatest game I ever saw played under this roof," cried David, wringing Grace's hand, while Hippy hopped about, uttering little yelps of joy.

Reddy circled about the victors almost too delighted for words.

He was filled with profound admiration for them.
"The boys' crack team couldn't have played a better game," he said solemnly, and the girls knew that he could pay them no higher compliment, for this team was considered invincible by the High School boys.
"Perhaps we'll challenge you some day, Reddy," said Grace mischievously.
"I believe you'd win at that," he said so earnestly that every one laughed.
"It was a great triumph," said Jessica proudly, as she stood with Mabel and Anne in the locker-room while the girls resumed street clothing.
"And my new howl was a success, too." "Glad to know that," said Grace.
