Chapter VIII

 

The Portrait Collection

 

 

Every 8th grader in SMS is assigned a project of writing an autobiography.  (Dawn’s school in California does the same thing.)  The Portrait Collection, in each girl’s own words, is the story of their lives from birth up until the time they joined the BSC.  This series includes only the six principal 13-year-old sitters.
