Sprague, Ruth M.

"Wild Justice"

How appropriate that
it is worn on the head.
Commencement--a colorful, glorious grouping traditioned by time.
All nicely covering the decay and tarnish of some of its stewards.


THE HEARING - DAY 1

Chapter 4

"The hearing? Oh yes, that is being held in this room right
here," advised Lorraine Debeau, head custodian of Howard Hall.
Diana Trenchant and her witnesses had arrived early. One of
the witnesses asked Lorraine where the group might wait.
"There are two rooms I was told to open. This is the best one
right opposite the hearing room," she offered, walking ahead of them
into the room, proud as a general leading the troops to battle.
I'll give you guys the best one since you are here first
and because of what you are doing."
As she turned to leave the room, she put her hand on Trenchant's shoulder.
"Hey, good luck. You know, you are the only person that ever tried to help
us custodians get a fair shake. When you were head of the Staff Association,
you made those guys in administration treat us decent."
The six witnesses and Trenchant spread themselves out comfortably
on the plush sofas and soft rug as individual preference dictated.
