And Lower House tramped through the snow , around and around the campus , and made night hideous with songs and cheers until threatened by the faculty with dire punishment if they did not at once retire to their rooms . And up in Number 12 Kenneth , feeling terribly out of it all , heard and was glad of the victory . Sunday afternoon he spent in packing his trunk , for , in spite of Joe 's pleadings , he was determined not to return to Hilltop when his term of suspension was over . He expected to hear from his father in the morning , in which case he would take the noon train to New York on the first stage of his journey . That night they sat up late , since it was to be their last evening together , and Joe was very miserable . He begged Kenneth to go to Dr. Randall and tell just what had occurred . But Kenneth shook his head .
