In a jiffy the High School boys were disrobing.
"And the fellow who 'chaws' anyone else's clothes, to-day," proposed Dick, "is to be thrown in and kept in, when he's dressed!" "Hear! hear!" Dick was one of the first to get stripped.

He started on a run, glided out over a log that lay from the bank, and plunged headlong into one of the deepest pools.

Then up he came, spouting water.
"Come on, in, fellows! The water's _grand_!" he yelled.
Splash! splash! The surface of the pond at that point was churned white.

The bobbing heads made one think of huckleberries bobbing on a bowl of milk.
Splash! splash! More were diving in.

And now the fun and the frolic went swiftly to their height.
"This is the real thing!" vented one ecstatic swimmer.
