One Up
by Alice Orndorff, Alice K. Orndorff

The political science class from Wichita Falls is in Washington to observe the wheels of government.

The "buddy" system that dictates hotel roommates finds Sally and Joy, an ill matched pair, sharing a room.

Their personal conflicts fade when they stumble into the hideout of a kidnapper and his victim.

The girls become friends as they struggle to free the child.
