From the inside of her white silk blouse she drew forth an envelope addressed to "Miss J.Elfreda Briggs." Handing it to Grace she said briefly: "Read it." Grace drew a sheet of paper from the envelope, unfolded it and read: "Miss Briggs: "In reporting to the registrar two members of the sophomore class you have offended not merely those members, but the class as well.

Do not attempt to attend the sophomore reception.

If you are wise you will leave Overton and enter some other college.
"The Sophomore Class." Grace handed the note to Miriam.
"What do you think of it ?" asked Miriam, looking up from the last line.
