Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What was the name of Mary-Lou's mother?

Answer: Doris

Mary-Lou lived with her Mother and her Gran. Her father was on an expedition in the Amazon, and she had not seen him since she was a little child.
2. Who was Verity-Ann Carey?

Answer: Mary-Lou's sister by marriage

Mary-Lou's mother married Verity-Ann's father. The girls always said that they were not step-sisters, but sisters by marriage. Verity-Ann had started school at the same time as Mary-Lou.
3. What was the name given to the group of girls with whom Mary-Lou was friends?

Answer: the gang

Mary-Lou's friends were hard working and fun loving and set the pace for the form. There were more than ten members of the gang, including Vi Lucy, Hilary Bennett, Josette Russell, Jo Scott and Barbara Chester. As they went up the school, however, the gang were put in different forms, much to their regret.
4. Why was Mary-Lou late returning to school in 'Mary-Lou of the Chalet School'?

Answer: Her gran had died

Gran had been a big influence on the young Mary-Lou. Saddened by her death, Mary-Lou returned to school to find herself in a senior form; both events heralded the end of her childhood. To mark this momentous occasion, she changed her hairstyle from her usual two plaits to one, causing a sensation amongst her friends.
5. At the end of 'Mary-Lou of the Chalet School', Mary-Lou had a serious accident whilst involved in which sport?

Answer: skiing

Emerence Hope had been tobogganing, and had come crashing off of her toboggan into Mary-Lou. For some days Mary-Lou was unconscious, and the doctors feared that she had suffered some severe damage to her back. Fortunately, this was not the case, and although she had a long convalescence, Mary-Lou was able to walk again.
6. As a result of her accident, Mary-Lou had all her hair shaved off. When it grew back she found that it would no longer be straight, but the curls that she had always longed for.

Answer: True

Initially, Mary-Lou had been upset when she discovered that her head had been shaved. However, in typical Mary-Lou fashion, she soon found a positive side to this. She happily told Miss Wilson that she would save a fortune as she would not need to have it permed when she was older!
7. With which mistress did Mary-Lou get off to a very bad start?

Answer: Miss Ferrars

When Kathie Ferrars arrived to teach at the Chalet School, she did not like Mary-Lou at all. She found the girl too familiar with the staff and felt that she was cheeky. Later on in the term, Miss Ferrars accompanied a group of girls to Wahlstein and it was there that Mary-Lou saved her from being swept away by an avalanche.

By the end of term, Miss Ferrars had got to know the real Mary-Lou and felt differently about her.
8. Before she became Head Girl, which title did Mary-Lou hold?

Answer: Library Prefect

Mary-Lou became a prefect in 'The New Mistress At The Chalet School'. It is at the end of 'The Coming Of Age Of The Chalet School' that Mary-Lou is made Head Girl. Once she had left the school, she was regarded as one of the best Head Girls the school had ever had.
9. Did Mary-Lou go to St. Mildred's after leaving the Chalet School?

Answer: Yes

St. Mildred's was the finishing branch of the Chalet School. It was located near the school proper, and the girls of the school had a certain amount of contact with the Millies, as they called them.
10. What career did Mary-Lou plan to follow?

Answer: archaeologist

Mary-Lou went to Oxford to study archaeology. She still returned to the Gornetz Platz to visit her friends there, and could always be relied upon to help sort out any problem girls the school had taken on. I hope you have enjoyed playing the quiz!
