The noise below increased, and there was the sound of breaking doors.
“Do they smash in?” asked Tom, to whom a college life was a new experience.
“Sure, if you don’t open.”
“Going to open?”
“I am not. Let ’em break in. They’ll have to pay for the damage.”
In spite of lively scenes on the floor below, the noise was kept within a certain range. Neither the freshmen nor the sophomores desired to have their pranks interrupted by the college authorities, which would be sure to be the case if the fun grew too hilarious.
The noise seemed to be approaching the room of Sid and Tom.
“Here they come,” whispered the country youth.
Sid nodded and there was a grim smile on his face. An instant later the door was tried.
