An Uninvited Member: A Play for Girls in Two Scenes

"An Uninvited Member: A Play for Girls in Two Scenes" by Elizabeth F. Guptill is a charming play for young girls set in a boarding school, showcasing the fun and mischief of adolescence. It follows a secret society called the S. O. M. F., whose schoolgirl members try to keep their meetings and the upcoming initiation of a new member, Dorothy, secret, but their plans are hilariously disrupted by a younger, curious girl named Effie, who schemes her way into one of their gatherings. As they navigate comical mishaps and playful banter, the girls eventually realize that their secret society has simply strengthened their friendships and made them value their teacher, Mrs. Waterman, deciding to disband the group and enrich their boarding school days in new ways.
