Excerpt:
I HARD TIMES FOR JOEL
“Come on, Pepper.” One of the boys rushed down the dormitory hall, giving a bang on Joel's door as he passed.
“All right,” said Joel a bit crossly, “I'm coming.”
“Last bell,” came back on the wind.
Joel threw his tennis racket on the bed, and scowled. Just then a flaxen head peeped in, and two big eyes stared at him.
“Ugh!”—Joel took one look—“off with you, Jenkins.” Jenkins withdrew at once.
Joel jumped up and slammed the door hard, whirled around in vexation, sprang over and thrust the tennis racket under the bed, seized a dog-eared book, and plunged off, taking the precaution, despite his hurry, to shut the door fast behind him.
