CHAPTER VII - A SENIOR DISPUTE
Returning to Seddon Hall for their final year, Polly and her close friend Lois step off the familiar carriage onto a campus awash in crisp autumn colors. The red‑roofed buildings and bustling greetings welcome them back, but the seniors now enjoy privileges they never had as freshmen—privileged rooms, a private stairwell, and a sense that the years ahead will be theirs to shape.
Their friendship, a blend of Polly’s thoughtful humor and Lois’s artistic flair, provides a steady anchor as they face the inevitable changes of senior life. Polly feels an uneasy tug toward the new girls arriving, fearing the rhythm of their close‑knit group might be disturbed, while Lois encourages her to embrace the fresh energy. Together they navigate the excitement of assemblies, the buzz of classmates, and the quiet moments that hint at the responsibilities awaiting them.
As the school year unfolds, the duo discovers that growing up at a boarding school means balancing cherished traditions with the promise of new experiences, all while keeping their bond strong.
