Now in her Sophomore year at Miss Allen's school, Ruth Henry schemes to become class president, but finds herself out of luck when Lily Andrews is voted into office. As always, Marjorie Wilkinson is happy for her friend and unconcerned that she did not win the election. Frieda Hammer is the recipient of the Scout's good turn, and the Scouts have secured a room for her in a boarding house. Frieda will attend public school. The project is particularly important to Marjorie, and Marjorie is devastated when Frieda arrives, sullen and unfriendly, and refuses to be grateful for what the Scouts have done for her. Marjorie tries hard to become Frieda's friend, progressing slowly but surely, until Ruth makes a hateful comment within Frieda's hearing, causing Frieda to run away. Even worse, Frieda steals Marjorie's most prized possession, her canoe, when she takes flight. Sickened over the loss of her canoe, Marjorie tries to continue with everyday activities. As much as the canoe meant to her, selfless Marjorie ultimately worries more about Frieda and hopes that she can somehow find her.
