Marjorie Dean High School Freshman by Pauline Lester 1917 Edition

New York: A. L. Burt Co. (1917), 249 pgs.

The series opens with Marjorie's family moving from Franklin to Sanford at the beginning of her freshman year of high school. As a result, she is separated from her best friend, Mary, and enrolls at Sanford High School after the school year has already begun. Throughout her four years in Sanford, Marjorie makes loyal friends, including Constance Stevens, Geraldine Macy, Irma Linton, Susan Atwell, and Muriel Harding. She also spends the series battling snobbish, unfair students and teachers, most of whom are either jealous of Marjorie's beauty and skill at basketball, resentful of her democratic tendency to befriend disadvantaged girls, or need to overcome unjust assumptions. Her constant enemy throughout high school is Mignon LaSalle, who occasionally joins forces with an equally spiteful newcomer against Marjorie. Marjorie and her friends are frequently escorted to social events by local boys Hal Macy, Laurie Armitage, Danny Seabrooke, and "The Crane." Marjorie has a closer relationship with her parents, whom she calls "General" and "Captain," while they refer to her as "Lieutenant."
