THE PITCANOOK Dormitory Lore Dan Foresman had always lived in the country. He had Hnished the eighth grade in a little church school three miles from his home. Now he was to go to the Academy, and he looked forward to his new life with both pleasure and dread. When he arrived, the building looked all right to him, and everyone treated him well, but he did wish people wouldn't stare at him so. On eating his first meal away from home among total strangers, he was beset by an attack of self-consciousness. He dropped his fork, and on bending to pick it up, struck his head on the corner of the table. When asked if he was badly hurt he replied, Nah, tain't much. Those seated at his table tried to offer their sympathy, but that only added to his confusion. Harold Hunt was a wealthy, spoiled lad from the city. His parents had sent him to school because they thought he needed the experience which dormitory life offers. He spent his leisure hours walking about the campus, absorbing the bright sunshine, and stopping here and there to give some choice bit of advice to those busy about various tasks. He failed to notice the annoyed, sometimes half-amused expression on the faces of the favored ones. He spent much of his time in the dining room describing in minute detail some attribute he shared in common with George Washington or some other noted person. The preceptor decided that these two young men should room together. Maybe it was chance more than the preceptor, but at any rate, Danis one good, serviceable blue suit hung in the closet with Harold's ample supply of well-cut clothing. Harold loudly lamented to his friends that he should have to room with a country freshman. He was a sophomore. Secretly, he was glad he had such a roommate, for when would he find time to make the bed and clean the room? In spite of his faults, Harold had a pleasing personality in many respects, and he always exerted himself to be courteous and generous with those whom he especially admired. Dan was naturally shy, and he didn't always know the proper thing to do and say. This often caused him to be left out of the fun, not because the boys wished to snub him but they just forgot all about him. One day when the boys asked him to go with them where they had been expressly forbidden to go, Dan promised to do it. They said, If they miss us, we'll tell them about half of it, and they'll believe us. After they left, those words, They'll believe us, stayed in Dan's mind. When the boys came for him his head was high and his mind made up. Let them laugh. He was a man. He would not go. The boys didn't laugh. They treated him with added respect. A boy who could play with them in clean sport, who could have a good time obeying the rules, and who wouldn't tell even a half-truth deserved their admiration. Harold began to feel that his roommate had something he did not have, and decided that perhaps sweeping the floor didn't keep one from being a gentleman. One manly, Christian young man can do a great deal for any dormitory, and as Dan became more and more a leader among the lower classmen, his influence was felt fContinued on page 552 I6
