Drew was aware of it, too—the vibration carrying through stone and soil. The drumming of hoofs, horses coming at a run. Now it was more than vibration, a distinct roll of sound magnified and echoed. And he caught a shout or two, the cries of men hazing on laggers. It must be Kitchell on his way through to the border! A dust haze, rising like smoke.
"I'll go along," agreed Nan, smiling again, "if only to make sure that you crazy ones do not go too far in your hazing." In Corridor Four had always been centered most of Lakeview Hall's "high jinks," to quote Laura Polk. Although Procrastination Boggs, Nan Sherwood, Bess Harley, and several other dwellers on this corridor stood well up in their classes, Mrs.
But it wouldn't do: discipline is discipline; and after a free use of the colt and a good deal of hazing, the boat's crew came aft, the cutter was lowered, and the men, with their oars up and eyes upon the ghost, were waiting the order to shove off, the bow oarsman having provided himself with a boarding-pike to 'fend off, as he said, if the old man should fight.
Ward's desk stood a lonely looking young man, red faced and fidgeting as though he were going through a fearful ordeal. "What on earth can they be doing to that fellow?" wondered Greg, in a barely audible undertone. "That fine-looking old gentleman can't be hazing a cadet?" "No; but I wonder what the ordeal is," Dick whispered back. "I haven't seen a fellow look comfortable through it yet." "Mr.
As for Furlong, Griffin and Dobbs, it was "just nuts" for them to see their class president, lately so stately on the subject of hazing, now actually proposing to take a plebe sternly in hand. The three bunkies exchanged grins. "Tell us, Mace," continued Dick, "have you had any occasion to take Mr. Briggs in hand at any time? "So it was Mr.
"In the future be more careful while on guard duty," said Captain Putnam coldly; and there the subject was dropped. "Who fired that shot?" asked Sam, on the morning following the hazing. "Jackson," replied a cadet named Gilson, who had been one of the hazers. "The sneak!" murmured the youngest Rover. "That's what I say, Rover."
Where "necessary" new hazes are employed that are bound to tax the best efforts of disciplinary or other officers to detect. Hazing is one of the diversions of men of mature age on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Even in the United States Senate there are recognized ways of hazing a new Senator who displays too little reverence for the traditions of that august body.
The goblet was quickly filled and Ruth held it to her lips. She might be watched, and she was determined to obey the mandate of the masked leader of the hazing party. She would not give them the right to say that she was panic-stricken. And then, with an unexpectedness that held her for an instant spellbound, she heard a hasty hand sweep the taut strings of a harp!
If a dishonest financier came to Holland from any other country, and did any of his dirty work, the women of Holland, who handle the funds, would give him such a hazing that he would never open his three-card monte lay-out in any other country. It is a country where you get the right change back, and the cows give eighteen carat milk, and the hens have not learned to lay small, cold storage eggs.
His stand against hazing was equally vehement, and he worked hand in hand with the faculty to eradicate it entirely from the college life. That his stand was purely for a principle and not from any fear of personal injury, I think the following letter to his father will show: BETHLEHEM, February 1882.
