[Follow My leader by Talbot Baines Reed]@TWC D-Link bookFollow My leader CHAPTER SEVEN 3/19
"Two to one you come a cropper over Elections." "Who do they elect ?" asked Dick. "Why, everybody, of course.
The captains of the clubs, and all that. Hang it, you'll be there.
What's the use of fagging to tell you ?" "And what about the Den? Who lives in it ?" "Look here! I shall lick you, Richardson, if you go on like that.
You green kids are a lot too cheeky." And the offended envoy went off in a huff, leaving his hearers in a state of excited uncertainty as to the nature of the ceremony to which their company had been invited. As the reader may like to have a rather more definite explanation than that afforded by Mr Raggles, let him know that unlike most public schools, the school year at Templeton began after the Easter holidays, instead of after the summer holidays.
The new boys came up then for the most part (though a few "second chances," as they were called, straggled in in the autumn term), and the various appointments to offices of honour and duty, the inauguration of the clubs, and the apportionment of the fags always formed an interesting feature of the new term.
