So out I went, but to my surprise it was for the boys who had demerits that they had to walk off on the bull ring. I did not know what the bull ring was at that time, but in the remaining days at the Academy I learned that it was something to be avoided and dreadedg' it is a very miserable place for any man to spend his time. About six-thirty we formed for retreat and paid all due respects to the colors Then we marched into mess hall for the last meal of the day. After a little time for recreation we were ushered into study hall which lasted for two hours, and two long hours they were, too, believe me. There was a continual low murmuring of voices, and also the general coming and going to borrow a knife, a pencil, or a sheet of paper. After study hall the bugle sounded call to quarters, and in lifteen minutes it sounded again for taps, and the lights were switched off. Oh, boy! How good that bed looked to nie, all tired out and a little homesick! just as I was dozing off into dreamland, with the picture of the farm before me, and that of 1ny people, and last, but not least, the sweet face of my girl-oh, how I longed to put my arms about her and tell her all about my new home !-I believe I was about to do it when suddenly I awoke and found my bed upside down. with me under it, and some one hurrying from the room uttering a low laugh. It was the famous old trick that has been played upon rookies in schools for years in the past, the trick my dad used to tell me about when I sat on his knee. Thus passed my hrst day at R.-M. A. Soon I became adjusted to my surroundings and the days sped swiftly by. And now as I look back upon the year with all of its hardships and tasks, I must say there were always days of joy and happy times with the boys, on the gridiron, basket-ball court, and the ball field, also in the social life of the school. I enjoyed it, and the memories of dear old Randolph-llfilacon at Bedford, a little town in the mountains, will ever linger in my heart. AU REVOIR. 164
