Usually, four or five upper classmen ran with the hounds to decide upon "captures" in case of dispute. A hound overhauling a hare had to throw his arms around the prize, stopping him fairly for at least fifteen seconds. Then the hare was sent back, out of the race. Each hound was credited with the hare he captured. Twelve hares ran, also twelve hounds.
Some distance down the quadrangle stood Brayton and Spurlock, first classmen and captains in the cadet battalion. "They're high-minded, decent fellows," said Haynes to himself. "I will go to them and get this nasty business set straight." Past several groups of cadets stalked Haynes, affecting not to see any of the fellows. But these cadets appeared equally indifferent to being recognized.
I acknowledged they were quite capable of it. 'And they don't care where they hit, he went on. I felt of my head that was still sore, from a forceful argument of the preceding day, and admitted there was good ground for the assertion. When I met my classmen, that afternoon, I was an advocate of the 'stove-pipe' as a means of protection.
With a boatswain's mate in charge, another steamer was despatched down the bay to recover and tow home the capsized sailboat. Examination week went through to its finish. By Saturday night the first classmen knew who had passed. But two of the members of the class had "bilged."

The seniors at the tree wear derby hats; the juniors none at all; it is easier by this sign to distinguish the classmen, and to keep track of the tapping.

This was an annual event, in which the sophomores, or third classmen, acted as the hares, while the freshmen played the part of the hounds. The course was six miles across country.
In the fall of 1882 Richard entered Lehigh, but the first year of his college life varied very little from the one he had spent in the preparatory school. During that year he had met most of the upper classmen, and the only difference was that he could now take an active instead of a friendly interest in the life and the sports of the college.
After a bare instant's hesitation the class president also took Prescott's hand, giving it a mighty squeeze. In the joy of that friendly grasp from his own classmen, Dick Prescott almost felt that all the bitterness of the last few months had been wiped out in a second. Then Douglass stepped out from the shadow, his face stern and set. "Perhaps you will want to stop talking, Mr.
This is one of the methods of observing the courtesies between nations by their respective fleets. Ere all the guns had been fired from the flagship, the third classmen received the rising signal; the class marched out and was dismissed. Instantly a break was made for deck. The midshipmen were in good time to see the smoke and hear the roar of guns from one of the forts on shore.
