To the Rover Boys From Their Friends, Dora, Grace and Nellie.
Keep it a secret among you and your chums at the feast.
"How in the world did they know we were going to have a feast?" questioned Sam.
"And how did they manage to smuggle the box into the Hall?" asked Larry.
"Open it and see what's inside, Dick," came from Tom. "I'll wager they have sent us something good."
"Maybe it's a loaf cake," said Fred.
"Oder a pudding," broke in Hans. "I lof chocolate puddings, yah!"
"You can't pack a pudding in a box very well," commented Songbird.
Holding the box in one hand, Dick undid the string and threw off the cover.
The next instant he let out a yell of horror and Tom, who was near by, did likewise and fell over a chair in his fright.
