Dimsie,
Head Girl
by Dorita F. Bruce
"I'm so utterly unsuited to the job," groans Jean
Gordon on learning that she is to become the new Head Girl at
Jane's.
And so it turns out. Despite Miss Yorke's confidence in her,
despite the support of her friend Dimsie, poor Jean proves incapable
of shouldering the responsibilities of her position. Quick to
take advantage of Jean's weakness, the Juniors become ever more
unruly, while Dimsie and the other prefects struggle to maintain
order.
Finally, Miss Yorke has to take action. Jean is deposed - and
in her place, Dimsie is appointed Head Girl.
This unlooked-for-honour causes a particular problem for Dimsie,
who is sensitive of her friend's shame and resentment. But,
in characteristic fashion, Dimsie meets the challenge head on,
and finally manages to earn not only the respect of wrongdoers
and the admiration of the whole school, but also the renewed
friendship of the unfortunate Jean.
This is the fifth in the series of Dimsie Books by Dorita Fairlie
Bruce.
