May I come in, or are you too busy to talk?
gpt
As if we were ever too busy to talk to our president,
human
I shall not be president after this week, you know, and that is what brought me here. Who is your candidate for the place?
gpt
Not Dolly, said Beth promptly.
human
I have set my heart on her being president during our senior year.
gpt
She would make a capital president for our last year, and I pledge myself to work for her. Now, as she is out of the question, for the present, I want to tell you that my candidate is Elizabeth Newby.
human
How perfectly absurd!
gpt
It is not absurd, and I want you, please, to listen to me. She can be elected, for the girls have not forgotten how grateful they were to her for saving our reputation at the entertainment last fall. There is no other strong candidate. Of course, ever so many names will be proposed in as large a class as ours, but the only one who will carry many votes is Hazel Fox.
human
Hazel Fox!
gpt
Yes, and you see what I mean. She is not the person for the place. We could not feel proud of her in any way. She barely escaped conditions this year, and I don't suppose she will ever get through the sophomore year with a clean record. The class is so grateful to Elizabeth, that she could be elected almost unanimously. What do you say?
human
Never mind what Beth says, I say that it is a 'go.' I'll work for her with all my might and main. I'm sure she will be elected! Of course, you will be made chairman of the executive committee.
gpt
I do not know. The girls may want someone else elected.
