No fellow here can refuse to fight, unless he couples with his refusal an offer to submit the case to his own class for action. No one, henceforth, will have a word to say to Clairy." "Perhaps not; but I still insist that the class meeting ought to be called." This was the general sentiment among the first classmen. Darrin was the only real dissenter to the plan.
He was considered by most of his fellow students a serious, earnest worker and had been taken many times into consultation with the upper classmen concerning plans for the development of the society. In past years at the end of every January, the freshmen had held a banquet in the opera-house of the city.
Darrin, you are merely seeking to divert my mind from what I have said." "What did you say particularly?" "That you would have to fight me." "I have already signified my entire willingness, Mr. Pennington. To that I really can add nothing." Fourth classmen are always addressed as "mister," and they must use the same "handle to the name" when addressing upper classmen.
"Now, I don't want to play baby," went on Jordan half eagerly. "I'm not resenting, on my own account, what happened to-day. But it was an outrage on general principles, for the affair made a fool of me before a lot of new yearlings. Stubbs, we're first classmen, and we shouldn't be humiliated before yearlings in this manner." "I wasn't there," replied Stubbs.
"Do you really expect so many freshmen to meet the requirements, Captain?" asked Frances. "No, not only freshmen. I think some more upper classmen will qualify girls like Mae VanHorn, for instance, who just fell a trifle short last year." "Would it be possible, Captain," suggested Marjorie, shyly, "to make Frieda a Girl Scout? Couldn't she be an honorary member, or something?"
Then I'll agree to give Ripley all he wants." "That's the only sensible thing I've heard said in five minutes," declared Frank Thompson, looking about him at other upper classmen. "Is it the general opinion that the fight hold over for a few days, or, say, a fortnight?" "Yes," came back an eager, approving chorus. "Then so be it," proclaimed Frank.
With midshipmen who were destined to get their diplomas such doubts were to be charged only to modesty, and were therefore to their credit. Yet, every spring dozens of Annapolis first classmen are miserable, instead of feeling the joyous appeal of the budding season. They are assailed by just such fears as had reached Dave Darrin. Dalzell, on the other hand, was tortured by no such dreads.
"These fourth classmen seemed unwontedly popular to-night," insinuated Dan. "They've been most uncommonly touge all through the year, sir," replied Eaton, tacking on the "sir" in order to impress Midshipmen Flint and Austin with the tremendous dignity or all upper classmen. "What form does their tougeness take?" Dan wanted to know.
It was not necessary to be too explicit, they felt, and twenty minutes later all were over at Middie's Haven, Guy Bennett and Richard Allyn, to Juno's secret disgust, having shifted into civilian clothes as was the privilege of the first classmen "on leave," the difference between "leave" and "liberty" being very great indeed. Stella, although admiring the uniforms, was tantalizingly uncritical.
"Because he was a college freshman and some of the upper classmen had it in for him and they simply strong-armed him, captured him, and brought him here to haze him." Every one of Hal's three companions gasped with astonishment. The possibilities of such an explanation of this strange "radio-island affair" had never occurred to one of them.
