A group of bright, eager girls from Greycliff Girls’ Academy are about to embark on their first real adventure beyond school walls. Their English teacher, Miss Patricia West, has arranged a summer excursion that will whisk them from Cincinnati through Niagara, Toronto, the St. Lawrence River, and finally to a girls’ camp in Maine. As they gather at the bustling Cincinnati Union Station, the air hums with nervous excitement, luggage in tow, and the promise of cool mountain breezes.
Each girl brings her own hopes and hesitations—Hilary, who lives with her family in Cincinnati, is the unofficial leader; June, a last‑minute addition, is thrilled to share a berth with her friend; and newcomers like the Southern sisters Helen and Evelyn add a touch of fresh perspective. Miss West keeps the group organized, checking tickets and reassuring the nervous first‑timer, Jean, about Pullman travel. Together they chat, write postcards in advance, and imagine the waterfalls, lakes and forest trails that await, eager to turn a summer of study into a memory of friendship and discovery.
