"Who will go in with me"?
A dozen cadets were willing, including Dick, Larry, and Fred Garrison.
As it was off time, Larry, even though major, did not feel it necessary to "stand on his dignity." "I'm just going to be as I've always been," he told the others.

"If I can't be that, I don't want to be major." Several tents had been erected close to the water's edge, where the cadets might undress and don their bathing suits.

Tom was the first ready, and with a run he plunged into the lake head-first.
"It's glorious!" he shouted, as he came up and shook the water from his head.

"Worth a dollar a minute.

Come on in!" And they came, one after another, without loss of more time.
