See your little name tacked up there at the top of the list , bracketed off all by itself for the winner ? ` Elliott H. Campbell , ninety-two per cent . ' A class yell for Campbell , boys ! '' While the yell was being given with a heartiness that might have endangered the roof , Elliott , with flushed face and sparkling eyes , pushed nearer to the important typewritten announcement on the bulletin board .

' Who 'd have thought slow-going old Kay would have pulled up so well ? ` Seddon Brown , eighty-seven ; Oliver Field , eighty-four ; Arthur McIntyre , eighty-two ' -- a very respectable little trio . And ` Carl McLean , seventy . ' Whew ! what a drop ! Just saved his distance .
