Irene Howard?
No, somehow Irene was not quite as popular as she deserved to be.

Marjorie Drew?
No, Marjorie hadn't enough backbone.

She was too prone to agree with the last speaker.
Betty Mead--calm, capable, tactful Betty--the very one! And Una Meredith for treasurer; and, if they were very insistent, they might make her, Rilla, secretary.

As for the various committees, they must be chosen after the Juniors were organized, but Rilla knew just who should be put on which.

They would meet around--and there must be no eats--Rilla knew she would have a pitched battle with Olive Kirk over that--and everything should be strictly business-like and constitutional.
