Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Girls of Central High at Basketball; Or, The Great Gymnasium Mystery" by Gertrude W. Morrison is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds at Central High School, focusing on a group of girls who are passionate about basketball and the challenges they face as they compete against other schools. Central to the narrative is Hester Grimes, whose temperamental nature often leads to conflicts with her teammates, impacting their performance and relationships. At the start of the book, Hester finds herself in trouble during a basketball practice due to her disobedience and bad temper, culminating in a confrontation with her physical instructor, Mrs. Case. Despite holding a significant position on the team, Hester's inability to control her emotions creates a rift with her peers, particularly after a recent incident where she struck another girl. As the practice continues, whispers about her conduct and the damaging of gym equipment heighten the tension, leading to speculation about her involvement in the gymnasium's recent vandalism. The opening of the story sets the stage for Hester's inner struggles, her relationships with friends and rivals, and the upcoming challenges that will define her journey at Central High.
