Captain Prior returns from paying a social call. Bell, J., and Dobbins return from a trip down-town. Goode, M., strikes a match to see if it is daylight. Harper awakes the Officer in Charge to warn him that it is almost time for First Call. John Bell, still half asleep, tries to blow First Call. Reveille, everyone in a hurry except “Cliquesters,” who are waiting for “two minute” call. Assembly; a rush for the stairs. Calisthenics. Recall. All full-fledged “Cliquesters” sweep dirt under bed, because they believe in “preparedness.” Mess call for breakfast; Clay starts to bum tobacco for his after- breakfast smoke. The joyful sound of the call to begin classes. A number of cadets in Room No. 2 fail (as usual) to hear the call. Crockett and Williams sent from class. Fowlkes is still trying to bisect that angle into three parts. Drill; Williams succeeds in knocking a file closer down with the barrel of his rifle. Recall ; it is the best sounding call of the day, but the Major doesn’t seem a bit fatigued and succeeds in finding a chance to “stick” six or eight cadets before they can get their rifles in the armory. Back to our beloved classes. Somebody asks a foolish question in chapel and gets a foolish reply. Classes over. Mess call. Members of athletic teams report for practice. Retreat. Dobbins gets “stuck.” Some few are studying, the rest pretending to. Taps. The re-echoing sounds of a trash basket preambulating down the hall is heard. Mystery: Who threw it? (Nobody knows.) Quiet reigns supreme. 10 j
