In a bustling winter night at Central High, the girls’ secret society known only by the cryptic initials M.O.R. gathers in their cramped brownstone headquarters. The venerable club, long‑standing and prized for its exclusivity, suddenly faces an impossible rent hike that threatens to dissolve its cherished home. Board members and alumni, from widowed benefactors to seasoned seniors, argue over how to rally the entire student body—boys and girls alike—to save the society’s future.
Amid the heated discussion, the clever twins and their outspoken peers conceive a bold plan: a schoolwide theatrical competition that could draw crowds, spark school spirit, and fill the building fund. Their scheme promises to unite rival classes, give every student a chance to shine, and showcase the hidden talents of the M.O.R. sisters. As rehearsals begin, anticipation builds, hinting at a lively contest that may just secure the society’s place for years to come.

Best known as the name on the Girls of Central High books, this was a Stratemeyer Syndicate house pseudonym rather than a single, identifiable writer. The series mixes school life, sports, friendship, and light mystery in a brisk early-20th-century style.
