CHAPTER 5 THE HUNDRED DRESSES
THE next day it was drizzling. Maddie and Peggy hurried to school under Peggy's umbrella.Naturally on a day like this they didn't wait for Wanda Petronski on the corner of Oliver Street,the street that far, far away, under the railroad tracks and up the hill, led to Boggins Heights.Anyway they weren't taking chances on being late today, because today was important.
"Do you think Miss Mason will surely announce the winners today?" asked Peggy.
"Oh, I hope so, the minute we get in," said Maddie, and added, "Of course you'll win, Peg." "Hope so," said Peggy eagerly.
The minute they entered the classroom they stopped short and gasped.There were drawings all over the room, on every ledge and window sill,tacked to the tops of the blackboards, spread over the bird charts,dazzling colors and brilliant lavish designs, all drawn on great sheets of wrapping paper.
There must have been a hundred of them all lined up!
These must be the drawings for the contest. They were!Everybody stopped and whistled or murmured admiringly.
As soon as the class had assembled Miss Mason announced the winners.Jack Beggles bad won for the boys, she said, and his design of an outboard motorboat was on exhibition in Room 12,along with the sketches by all the other boys.
