puts up. So you see it won’t be the boys’ fault if we don t have a
good team. The schedule this year is about the hardest we have
ever been up against, and it is up to us to uphold our former good
base ball record.”
For a few minutes the fellows puffed away and no one spoke.
Alt was still until with a crash Chad burst into the room, and with
a flying leap dove upon the bed.
“Hurrah! Got my Dutch off,” he cried, and with that he flew
off into a fit of laughter.
“Speaking about flunks,” said Hadley, “I hear they are going to
get up ail anti-flunk society to, which only flunks are eligible.
When a student receives his first summons to contribute to the
library it is the same as his invitation to join the society. Such an
organization would have been rather exclusive here about ten
years ago. It would not have had a very large membership.
Now, I suppose, it will be a matter of popular affair. The mem
bers will be assessed inversely proportional to the number of dol
lars they pay into the library. iVI eetings will be held once a week,
and speeches will be made. Papers, such as “How I Passed Ap
plied Mechanics” and “My Experiences in Freshmen Chemistry,”
will be read. Lectures will be given on such subjects as “Anti-
Flunk Diet” and “Flow to Keep Above Grade With' Grinding.”
These meetings will be very instructive to those who attend. It is
to be hoped that the number of flunks will decrease thereby.”
“I suppose you will be one of the charter members,” said
Jasper, who likes to knock occasionally.
