I know what I'm going to do if I stay here!
human
What?

Well, they ought to get at it pretty soon now, answered Teeter.

There is a meeting of the athletic committee some time next week, and a manager and captain will be elected. It's always done that way here, though in some places they do it right at the close of the season. But it has always been a cut-and-dried affair as long as Hiram has been here. He got in--he and Luke--and they've stayed in ever since.
human
Can we go to that athletic meeting?
gpt
Oh, yes, said Teeter quickly.

It's open to every lad in the school, but lots don't take the trouble to go,--they know how it will turn out.

What do you say to a scrub game?
human
I'm willing!
