Now, the "Bazoo" has an average inclination to print very flattering remarks about the local representative at Annapolis. While the home editor always means this as pleasant service, the detection of flattering articles by any upper class man at Annapolis always means unpleasant times for the poor plebe who has been thus honored in the columns of the "Bazoo."
"I'm better satisfied than if we had done what we set out to do to that plebe," remarked Yearling Davis to his tentmates. "Mr. Prescott is a rather decent sort for a mere plebe," replied Poultney. "Do you know, I think he's almost glad that he caught the dummy we rigged for him. I believe the little beast would have hated to catch a uniform stuffed with human flesh."
Trotter was telling me, yesterday, that the plebe year is the hardest year of all here." "Mr. Trotter is a highly intelligent individual, then," murmured Dan Dalzell. "He explained that the first year is the hardest just because the new man has never before learned how to study. After our first year here, he says, we'll have the gait so that we can go easily at the work given us."
Plescott," continued the interlocutor, "I heard something said about you this morning that I didn't in the least like." "Ye-e-es, sah?" inquired the minstrel plebe falteringly. "I consider it, Mr. Plescott, a most insulting thing that I heard said about you." "Ye-e-es, sah?" faltered the performer, his knees shaking and his eyes rolling in apprehension. "Mr.

Briggs's legs were trembling under him. "That is all, for the present, mister," announced the class sergeant. "But you will hold yourself in readiness, in case we call you out for a soiree this evening." "Yes, sir," assented the plebe. "You may go." Mr. Briggs judged that he had better salute the yearling class president very carefully as he passed out with his bucket.
I don't believe in making him feel that he's a pet. I do believe in frowning down all b.j.-ety. I don't believe in recognizing a plebe, except officially. But I don't believe in subjecting any really good fellow to a lot of senseless and half cruel hazing that has no purpose except the amusement of the yearlings. Now, I think I've made myself clear.
"Oh, anything will suit me," returned the yearling. Truth to tell, Kramer wasn't by any means sure that he could whip this crafty plebe. But the issue had been thrown fairly in his teeth. Moreover, the honor of the yearling class was now at stake, and Kramer wasn't the man to go back on his class. "Listen, gentlemen," broke in Mr. Edwards. "This affair started a little ahead of the time set.
As soon as he could do so without attracting too much attention, Rains left the excited throng of boys, and hurried away to one of the dressing-rooms. Hugh Bascomb quickly followed, being the only one among Rains' late friends to note his departure. Bascomb found Rains rubbing down. Paul did not say a word as the big plebe entered.
Then, in his own appropriate section, he marched off to the Academic Building, remaining in the section room, under the instruction or quizzing of some officer of the Army until 9.20. Now the new plebe, like the cadets of all classes, marched back to his room. At his desk he studied until summoned at 10.55 for the second recitation of the day, in some other subject.
