"I don't see why you shouldn't, Larry. You seem to be in first-class shape physically." "I am going to try hard, Dick."

While Dick was waiting for his friend to reappear he looked on at the efforts of the other cadets present.

This was clue sufficient; and thankful at having gained one, Hadassah with her attendant left the stifling precincts of Hephzibah's dwelling to find out that of the Greek. Terrible were the glare and heat of the noonday sun, and long appeared the distance to be traversed, yet Hadassah did not even slacken her steps till she approached the gymnasium erected by the renegade high-priest Jason.
Gleason she thought such things were only for boys. She's a regular sissy!" But this made her hearers laugh. Nan joined in the laughter, but she added: "You get into a wrestling match with her and see if she's a sissy. She has developed her muscles by other means than gymnasium tricks. She is so very wiry and strong you have no idea!" "But she walks so funny," remarked Lillie Nevins.

Foxy wrestled with a turbulent crowd in the gymnasium. "Nor it won't do even a condemned Snider any good to be continual snappin' the lock, Mr. Swayne. Yiss, the uniforms will come later, when we're more proficient; at present we will confine ourselves to drill. I am 'ere for the purpose o' takin' the names o' those willin' to join. Put down that Snider, Muster Hogan!"
The class teams had not yet been chosen, but every Wednesday and Saturday afternoon l9 's last year's "regulars" and "subs" met in the gymnasium to play exciting matches. Of course there were some changes in the make- up of the teams.
"As soon as I can get it." "I'll see Wad Wadhams, tonight," Blake said. "If there's a place on the bill I'll get it for you." The next day Blake called him to the gymnasium. "You'll go on in the preliminaries," he said. "Two hundred if you win, a hundred if you draw and fifty if you lose. How's that?" "That means I must win," John said.
