That Kirsty should have written to nominate her was an immense gratification.

Kirsty's praise at the time had been scant, and Winona had no idea that her former chief held her in such esteem.

To Winona the occasion seemed the triumph of her life.

She would rather be Games Captain than have any other honor that could possibly be offered to her.

Glorious visions of successful matches, of shields or cups won, and a county reputation for the school swam before her eyes.
And she--Winona Woodward--was to have the privilege of leading and directing all this! It was indeed a thrilling prospect.
