| Summary |
"Polly's Senior Year at Boarding School" by Dorothy Whitehill is a children’s novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set during the school year at Seddon Hall and follows the lives of Polly Pendleton and her friend Lois Farwell as they navigate their final year of high school, balancing friendships, responsibilities, and the challenges of growing up. The book likely explores themes of personal growth, companionship, and the transition from childhood to adulthood, all while providing a glimpse into the lives of girls in a boarding school setting. The opening of the story introduces readers to Polly and Lois as they return to Seddon Hall for their senior year, filled with excitement and nostalgia. They share a bond that has only deepened over their years at the school, and it is clear that, despite the passing time, their essential natures remain unchanged. As they settle in, the girls reconnect with old friends and face the new dynamic introduced by incoming students. Amidst catching up, Polly's thoughts reveal her concerns over new students and the role of seniors in leading and welcoming them, setting the stage for the interpersonal relationships and conflicts that will unfold.
