WHO WILL WIN THE HONOR PIN?
After the Famous Fiction masquerade a noticeable lull in social activities at Overton ensued.

Except for basketball, which always flourished between midyear and Easter, little occurred to break the studious wave that swept over the college.

There was one topic, however, that furnished food for endless discussion, and that was the senior play contest.

In the beginning a goodly number of girls had entered the lists, imagining that to write a play was an extremely simple matter.
After two or three feeble attempts at writing, the majority of them had given up in disgust, and from all that could be learned there were less than twenty contestants who had persevered.
The decision of the judges was to be reserved until after the beginning of the spring term, but the contest closed the Tuesday before the Easter holiday began, and it had been stipulated in the rules that all manuscripts must be in the hands of the judges on, or previous to, that time.
As far as was known, no one from Wayne Hall, save Kathleen West and Elfreda, had entered the contest, and even Patience Eliot was not sure that Kathleen had finished and submitted her play.

Several times Patience endeavored adroitly to lead up to the subject, but Kathleen invariably turned the conversation into other channels.
"Patience can't find out whether or not Kathleen West entered the contest," observed Grace.
