MARJORIE DEAN, COLLEGE JUNIOR

CHAPTER I—A MUSICAL WELCOME


“Remember; we are to begin with the ‘Serenata.’ Follow that with ‘How
Fair Art Thou’ and ‘Hymn to Hamilton.’ Just as we are leaving, sing ‘How
Can I Leave Thee, Dear?’ We will fade away on the last of that. Want to
make any changes in the programme?”

Phyllis Moore turned inquiringly to her choristers. There were seven of
them including herself, and they were preparing to serenade Marjorie
Dean and her four chums. The Lookouts had returned to Hamilton College
that afternoon from the long summer vacation. This year, their Silverton
Hall friends had arrived before them. Hence Phyllis’s plan to serenade
them.

Robina Page, Portia Graham, Blanche Scott, Elaine Hunter, Marie Peyton
and Marie’s freshman cousin, Hope Morris, comprised Phyllis’s serenading
party. The latter had been invited to participate because she was still
company. Incidentally she knew the songs chosen, with the exception of
the “Hymn to Hamilton,” and could sing alto. She was, therefore, a
valuable asset.
