As soon as the ranks were broken Dalzell seized his chum's hand, and began wringing it strenuously. "David, little giant," murmured Dan ecstatically, "we are no longer fourth class men. From the instant that the tail-ender of the old first class received his diploma we became transformed into third class men." "Yes," smiled Dave. "We're youngsters. That's going some."
