`` Yes , I 'm coming for my books . It 's too late to stop and get them now . '' Afternoon attendance at the High School was not nominally compulsory . All the principal subjects were taken in the morning , but there were classes for drawing , singing or physical culture from half-past two until four , and practically very few girls had more than one free afternoon in a week . Any who liked might do preparation in their own form room , and many availed themselves of the permission , especially those who came from a distance , and stayed for dinner at the school . When Winona first examined her time-table she had not considered its demands excessively formidable , but before she had been a week at Seaton she began to realize that she would have very few spare moments to call her own . Miss Bishop believed in girls being fully occupied , and in addition to the ordinary form work , expected every one to take part in the games , and in the numerous societies and guilds which had been instituted .
