Part of the Chalet School is off to the Görnetz Platz in the Swiss Oberland. But what of the girls left behind at the English branch in Carnbach? It’s hard for them to settle down knowing their friends are having adventures in the Alps, and new girl Doris Howell discovers she has joined a school still finding its feet. Will it all be plain sailing or will resentments and unease mar the first term at Glendower House? The girls have been left the well-known brown and flame uniform but have to work to make sure the Chalet School spirit has stayed with them as well. As Doris Hill misses Mary-Lou, and Cherry Christy comes out from the shadow of her infantile paralysis, Doris Howell finds friends, and mistresses rekindle old friendships. The Sixth Form’s sense of unity creates a new tradition, while the Fourth Formers devise a plan to make their new school stand out. In a term packed with unexpected excitement, the school gradually comes together under the leadership of Miss Edwards, and with the help of some inspired ideas from a new Quintette.
