description: Aged 18, Monica Baxter, who was Head Prefect and Head of Games at Greystones, wins a scholarship to Cambridge. Although Elder calls the college Girnham it is obviously meant to be Girton. Monica is accompanied by her great friend, Francesca. Both girls are keen hockey players and become well known by the senior students because of this. However, an unwise friendship on Monica’s part casts a shadow over her first two years, and causes a rift between her and Francesca. Nonetheless, by her third year Monica has grown in maturity and has come to realise who her true friends are.
