She did not recognize the other faces.

Do you think, Miss Pierson, that such an escapade as you engaged in last night was entirely respectful or worthy of a pupil of Oakdale High School ?" "No," replied Anne at last.
"Do you know that suspension or expulsion are the punishments for such behavior ?" Anne clasped her hands nervously.

She saw the freshman prize floating away, and her eyes filled with tears, but she said nothing.
Instead of being angry, however, Miss Thompson was pleased with the girl's pluck and loyalty.

But she was puzzled to know how to proceed.
Her judgment and her sympathies revolted against punishing this prize pupil, and still it looked as if Miss Leece had everything on her side.
A tap at the door interrupted her reflections, and Anne opened it, admitting Mrs.Gray escorted by David and Grace.
"My dear Miss Thompson," said the old lady, "I know you will consider me an interfering old woman, but when I heard that my particular child, Anne Pierson, was in trouble, I came straight to you.

I want to talk the whole matter over comfortably; since it's my own freshman class that's on the rampage, I feel as if I had a right to put in a word." "You are most welcome, Mrs.Gray," replied Miss Thompson, cordially.
She was exceedingly fond of the lonely old lady who had been a benefactor to the school in so many ways.
