Marjorie Dean, High School Senior

The story follows a high-school senior who organizes a group of classmates into the Lookout Club to perform charitable projects and to counter a rival girl's negative influence. Meetings, campus politics, social rivalries, and practical tasks like fund-raising and a day-nursery project provoke disputes, misunderstandings, and a missing letter. Halloween pranks, investigations into a treasurer's dishonest handling of funds, and personal standpoints force members to confront loyalty, responsibility, and conscience. Through sleuthing, candid confessions, and steadfast leadership the girls expose wrongdoing, reconcile differences, and mature in duty and friendship toward a resolution at commencement.
