Why don't you give Hiram a show? demanded Jake.

Let him know this meeting is being held.

I sent word to him, but he didn't come,
gpt

I just heard of this snap session, and I want to know what it's about. How dare you fellows hold a meeting of the athletic committee when I didn't call it?
gpt
Say, you drop that kind of talk! fairly yelled Teeter.

This isn't a meeting of the athletic committee!
gpt
Come on down off that platform! demanded the bully striding toward the chairman _pro tem_.
human
What right have you got there?
gpt
Just as much right as you have, and I'm going to stick! This is just a meeting of the fellows of Excelsior Hall, and I've got just as much right to preside as you have.
