midnight
But in spite of all the trouble he 'd got into , I could n't figure him out as anything more 'n playful . Course , rough housin ' in rathskellers until they called out the reserves , and turnin ' the fire hose on a vaudeville artist from a box , and runnin ' wild with a captured trolley car wa 'n' t what you might call innocent boyishness ; but , after all , there wa 'n' t anything real vicious about Dyke . Playful states it . Give him a high powered tourin ' car , with a bunch of eight or nine from the football squad aboard , and he liked to tear around the State of Connecticut burnin ' the midnight gasolene and lullin ' the villagers to sleep with the Boula-Boula song . Perfectly harmless fun -- if the highways was kept clear . All the frat crowd said he was a good fellow , and it was a shame to bar him out from takin ' a degree just on account of his layin ' down on a few exams . But that 's what the faculty did , and the folks at home was wild .
