Dick called for the High School song.

The band accompanied, while the entire student body sang.
At its completion Cobber answered, as might have been expected, with cat calls.
Within the next few minutes Dick ran the H.S.boosters through nearly the whole repertory of cheers and songs.
Then, just after quarter of three, Dave made an important discovery.
"Here come the teams," he whispered.
Dick, without turning to look, swung the megaphone so that its wide mouth aimed straight at the band leader.
"You know what now, leader!" In a twinkling the musicians rose.

A cornetist flared forth with a bugle call.

Down came the leader's baton.

The bugle call shaded off into a single strain from the band.
