...soon threaten--a chapel service with the temperature somewhere near zero. The faculty have from time to time done much to increase our interest in morning prayers by improving the services, singing etc., but they seem to have forgotten a very important point-that even students need to be kept above a certain temperature if the interest is to be maintained. It has been all along a crying shame that the chapel has not been properly warmed on cold mornings and as a result of this neglect, there has been much distress of mind and body as well as some...
...archway. Most of these archways are high and wide and the stonework is most elaborately carved. Facing the uniform quadrangle are the chapel, the hall, the library, and the students' rooms. There is usually a back quadrangle or garden. Some of these are very large and are very beautifully kept.

There was little passing and few runs were made. The Harvard team in general tackled well ; their rushers blocked well, particularly...
...asking the co-operation of the pupils, but ending with a firm expression of his intentions and expectations. Very soon after which Bill Gates, a "six-footer," commenced the usual rebellion and tried to trip up Sykes, who instantly collared, floored, and put his foot on the rebel, and kept it there, until Bill promised to abide by the rules of the school in general, and to submit to the application of the big flat ruler of the teacher in particular. But when the latter went for this instrument of authority, Bill went for the window, out of which...
