Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Naomi Elton is a new girl in this book. Who suggested that she come to the Chalet School?

Answer: Dr Peter Chester

Naomi lives with her aunt after an accident which killed her parents and left her badly injured. Now her aunt wants to go to Nigeria, but the climate there would not suit Naomi who was advised to have Alpine air. Whilst in Guernsey, Naomi has flu and when Dr Chester comes to treat her, he suggests she go to the Chalet School.

2. What religion is Naomi?

Answer: She isn't sure

At the Chalet School, girls separate for prayers. Marylou explains that Catholics go to the gym and the Protestants - Anglican, Methodist, Baptist, Quaker, URS...anyone who isn't a Catholic lumped together! go into the hall.
Naomi has been used to going to some weeks to a Catholic service, sometimes Church of England, sometimes to chapel and sometimes nowhere. It is decided that for her first term at school she will go to the Protestant services while making up her mind.

Answer: Her mother and Clem

Mary-Lou says that she wants to write to Clem as it is the anniversary of the time that Clem heard of the death of her parents. A chatty letter helps Clem cope. She also says she has to finish her letter to her mother.
Beth and Julie are Vi's sisters and Vi wants to write to them.

4. Naomi and the art teacher Herr Laubach both have hot tempers which leads to an accident during an outdoor sketching lesson. What is the accident?

Answer: Naomi tries to stand up, but has brought the wrong walking stick and falls over

Naomi has two walking sticks. She should have brought the one with a steel point, instead she brings the one with a rubber tip. When she tries to stand up the rubber tipped stick fails to grip the ice and Naomi falls, hitting her head on the ice.
Herr Laubach is so upset he resigns.

Answer: Scarlet Fever

It starts with Margot, and spreads through the school. Even the staff are affected. The older girls help out with the teaching and administration for a few days.

Answer: Frau Tratschin

An accomplished country woman, she makes exquisite pillow lace and plays the zither.

7. Why do the seniors end up seeking shelter in a hut?

10. The St. Mildred's pantomime of "Puss in Boots" ends early due to a power failure. Naomi goes home ahead of the others and is involved in a dreadful accident. What happens?

Answer: She is in a motorcycle combination which skids and throws her out

Thankfully, Jack Maynard is following behind in his car and he rushes her to hospital. She has to have a long and difficult operation. Not only does Naomi recover from this accident, albeit slowly, but the surgeons are able to put right most of Naomi's earlier problems. She will be much straighter, and able to walk without a stick.
