They competed for merits and points. A girl chose her team upon first registering as a freshman. As my given name is Margaret, the nun signing me up declared with a smile that she knew what team I would be on. At that point a perverse little devil whispered in my ear, and I chose the St. Agnes team. The poor lady was at a loss. I guess the convent didn't have too many non-conformists.
