from the upper classmen2
of the present day2
it was greg who2
how about that smear2

was instilled into me2
as though bent on2
put him on the2
point is that which2
is quite likely to2
professors at the academy2
afternoon of the day2
be as good a2
to listen to him2
i was told that2
this was the case2
finding the baseball gait2
a great deal to2
time passed rapidly and2

these older slips are2
men of the class2
so as to avoid2
all in a flash2
to stay in the2
upon me that i2
in the riding hall2
shut the door and2
to the cadet guard2

it was agreed to2
to take her to2

it may be that2
good deal of feeling2
the idea of the2

of fagging and bullying2
within ten days of2
a look full of2

with all his heart2
seats reserved for them2
with a sense of2

it would take me2
during the next two2
whose duty it was2
and i was surprised2
out and joined the2
i should think you2
that it was no2
a blue streak for2
tired of having me2
the work of the2

you have to do2
within a few feet2
if there were any2

i must own that2
up my mind not2
reputation of being the2

it was a relief2
had i remained at2
that comes from the2

as if i were2

he was an old2
dick and greg turned2
a committee of honor2
too short in which2
to the graduation ball2
second in my room2

and i are to2
asked three or four2
that he had also2

the charge and specifications2
we do not believe2
anstey was one of2
trying to recover myself2
it was a certainty2
your name in the2
i looked at him2
at west point the2
to what i had2
we all went to2
feel more at ease2
would be allowed to2
looked straight into the2
i could see none2
was glad to find2
i was in plain2
make it convenient to2
moving in a dark2
stepped into the tent2
his heel and walked2
go into the army2
had come to the2
this piece of paper2
an old cadet was2
had a sort of2
to give a history2
and into the office2
who had been trained2
and i at once2
to make the reader2
since coming to west2
and found that i2
enabled me to solve2
there were not wanting2

before the academic year2
to escort young ladies2
what do you know2
and probably would have2
take a seat in2
drill twice during the2
he was able to2
on the subject of2
the uniform of the2
a walk on sunday2
and i found i2
leaving the academy i2
the head of their2

of the fagging and2
honour to inform you2
you that i have2
you going to be2
that i should not2

office of the o2
the chief of police2
in which mr rouse2
i had obtained a2
tried to make his2
been able to get2
the whole distance at2
in store for him2
be sure to see2
i for the first2
i am forced to2
and i should have2
you to remember that2
by the time i2
another part of the2
told the story of2
can do is to2
young men of the2
to west point and2
and attend to your2
what was termed the2
looked out of the2
ten yards in one2
very glad to see2
i should have done2
a disturbance in academy2
for i did not2
anstey is going to2
as too stupid to2
position at the academy2
that it was to2
he was a bit2
the time arrived for2
one of our men2
verdict and a hop2
but i could see2
i used to be2
as a second lieutenant2
the instant i saw2
the fellows of the2
i was not aware2
to act up to2
two west point cadets2
that neither brag nor2
figures in the dark2
or column of fours2
and i want you2
the room were a2
that prescott must have2
of keeping up lights2
the time that i2
would be a breach2
of pain as the2
in order to be2
the time had been2
of the officer on2
of life at the2
in his soft voice2
stunned by the blow2
of men in the2
those who had struck2
prescott commands at squadron2
cadet captain dick prescott2
go to the hop2
when i first joined2
president of this class2
and all those things2
he looked straight into2
have you any knowledge2
had worked my brain2
this is flirtation walk2
might be accounted for2
dick reports a brother2
to work out various2
latter part of may2
with no thought of2
good old high school2
game to the army2
graduate from west point2
the good old gray2
did not know that2
prescott would have been2
furniture of the room2
almost certain to be2
in one of his2
the class in all2
all of the young2
for the royal engineers2
on a charge of2
on the same team2
straight up to the2
am happy to say2
what he had heard2
sent in one of2
there was none of2
what are you talking2
to where i was2
of the rear rank2
the door opened and2
in the corps of2
i wanted to see2
more than he could2
come out as a2
result was that the2
the mouth of the2
for a moment or2
door of his tent2
a career in the2
that at the present2
and should probably have2
i was quite a2
that it was the2
both sides of the2
a hundred yards of2
to come in to2
chums of dick co2
take that for your2
not go to the2
to talk it over2
did you come to2
was a cadet named2
nothing else to do2
been sent to coventry2
come out of the2
my career at the2
moving line of gray2
the naval academy band2
the benefit of the2
bed in the dark2
that the young men2
and i think he2
of the navy team2
i found that the2
it is very hard2
in those days that2
i always try to2
of the cadets of2
on first and second2
about one hundred and2
i felt i had2
i think i understand2
the kind of fellow2
be at the hop2
take command of the2
with the military academy2
to be kept up2
instead of trying to2
end of the field2
and it was not2
wednesday and saturday afternoons2
had it been possible2
in the toe of2
if an old cadet2
it was a small2
traitor of the riding2
i respectfully decline to2
hostler came into the2
with one of the2
see that all was2
those days a boy2
not in the least2
the impossibility of my2
you ought to be2
screwed up the door2
and stood at the2
outcast of the class2
you want to be2
in mathematics and geometry2
half an hour later2
was the general opinion2
the day on which2
reached the first class2
have no right to2
let me get my2
and let him know2
turned from the office2
some of the other2
who had been at2
ought to have done2
as well in the2
likely would not have2
however thin a line2
a boy who had2
mr rouse gave me2
the words would not2
to send me to2
i could scarcely believe2
i may be injured2
but i soon found2
i was considered a2
one at a time2
but he was not2
i am very sorry2
proceedings at the fair2
are you sure that2
were all confined to2
that could not be2
at the date to2
in the next room2

the question that i2
have been all right2
i should find the2
the back and said2
i had gone to2
sandwich and a glass2
week i passed with2
and the first class2
in the world for2
at the call of2
had made no strong2
i will give you2
few minutes of leisure2
suddenly occurred to me2
though none of the2
close to the end2
along a dangerous road2
time to turn out2
to the class presidency2
had not the courage2
as we used to2
bullies at the shop2
after a brief conversation2
that i did not2
asked if i could2
boys who had been2
do my best for2
nothing to do with2
spoke to him about2
twelve years of age2
i thought over the2
take her to the2
heroes and a sneak2
the truth of what2
had given me an2
put an end to2
that there is not2
it was little short2
him out of the2
i am so sorry2
all members of the2

the man who was2
in my room i2
there was in those2

up was made for2
further business to come2
you are certain that2
have the nerve to2
the army is concerned2
he smiled at my2
silent manual of arms2
aware of the fact2
out on the north2
to my surprise i2
that he is likely2
firm for flag and2
were a few minutes2
was beginning to feel2
your knowledge of natural2

i thought you would2
spare the time to2
boning bootlick with the2
