She's certainly what you'd call 'katawampus' this morning." It was getting very near the end of the term now, and all the girls were talking eagerly about going home.

Before they separated for their vacation, however, there was to be one more of Miss Morley's delightful excursions.

Next term would be too hot to do much sightseeing, so those of the pupils who had not yet been shown the wonders of the neighborhood were to have the chance of a visit to the Greek temples at Paestum.

It would be a longer expedition even than to Vesuvius, and as many were anxious to take part it was arranged to hire a motor char-a-banc to accommodate about twenty-four girls and several teachers.

The lucky ones were of course well drilled beforehand in the history and architecture of the place, and knew how a Greek colony had settled there about the year 600 B.C.and had built the magnificent Doric temples, which, with the sole exception of those at Athens, are the finest existing ruins of the kind.
Miss Rodgers had limited the excursion to seniors and Transition, thinking it too long and fatiguing a day for the juniors.
