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.
