Chapter 10: The group starts their tour with the pasture lands
section. They want to see it all, so Mrs. Shadowitz agrees to tours of
each section on Saturdays. Thursday, day four, is the Day of Choosing.
The lead horse, the captain, of each of the twelve tribe's horses
chooses a student to be in their tribe. Students enter the corral, one
at a time, and one captain horse walks up to that student. One girl,
LeOmi, didn't quite make it into the stable before a horse walked up
to her. She is chosen to be in the same tribe as the four friends.Day
five of orientation, Friday, is a day for socializing. It ends with
the head of the school making announcements at the first assembly.
Counselors pass out class schedules. Saturday brings mail from home
and flags tryouts. That afternoon they meet Mrs. Shadowitz, and take a
tour of the science and engineering section.
