(Continued from Page 1) confidence in the hitherto unreliable students was almost incredible. Cheer after cheer was given for prexy. The entire corps assembled in front of the Y. M. C. A. building and shouted itself hoarse. Just then “fall in” for chapel sounded. Instantly the crowd dis persed , each cadet racing with his fellows to get in rank. Every officer was present. The rolls were quicklj’ called. Not a cadet was absent. Next the guard detail was read. The countenance of every cadet be came clouded. The reading of the guard detail called to mind that some of their number could not be present at the chapel hour. The spirit of the entire corps was dampened. Even the officers were depressed. Each member of the guard step ped forward as his name was called. The faces of the men were poignantly sad. Several begged their fellows to take their places. But everyone re mained firm. The unfortunate ones could find no substitutes, they must * Batted for Higdon in sixth. g 0 U p into the dormitories and walk **Batted for Persohn in ninth. their posts alone.

At the first sound of the bugle there was a mad rush for the chapel. With great difficulty, the officers stationed at the door prevented cadets from doing themselves injury. In a few mo ments, everyone was seated and ab solute quietness reigned. The preliminaries of the service were carried out with tremendous en thusiasm. When the speaker for the morning rose, there was a percepti ble leaning forward of the students in their seats. _ The auditorium was a sea of eager expectant faces; not a movement was perceptible. For half an hour they listened, hanging atten tively on every word, breathless and spellbound. The speaker plunged deep into his discussion. His powerful voice rose and fell like the roar of a tempest, as it echoed and re-echoed through the vast hall, jarring the window panes and rebounding from the walls. His audience was captivated. A pin-drop would have sounded like the explos ion of a 43 centimeter. The climax was almost reached. But suddenly a terrible uproar broke loose on the rear row of seats. Some frivolous cadet, not appreciat ing the solemnity of the occasion and regardless of his own personal safety, had produced a volume of “Snappy Stories” from under his blouse, and calmly began to read. Instantly the assembly was transformed into a mob of struggling howling demons. Cries of “put him out!” “put him out!” arose from all sides while the indivi dual himself was supported by a series of swift kicks in the rear. With a mighty rush the crowd swept through the door, bearing its unfor- I tunate victim with it. Without, a huge bonfire was quick ly kindled and the “Snappy Stories” J reverently burned thereon, while the culprit plead on his knees for for giveness. By the unanimous con sent of the student body the cadet, as a punishment, was deprived of his “cush” for the remainder of the ses sion. Every student firmly swore never to read another “Snappy Stor ies” in chapel so long as the volun tary attendance regulation was in action. Never before has such a novel and daring venture been made by an offi cial of any institution, and at the same time received such hearty co operation from the student body, as has this voluntary chapel attendance regulation, inaugurated by Dr. Biz- zell. ■ith Floor City Nat’l Bank Building BRYAN.
