midnight
In that volume we shall meet many of our old friends again , and also learn something concerning the disappearance of Sid Merrick and Tad Sobber . That evening the celebration at Putnam Hall was continued . The cadets lit a huge bonfire on the campus and around this they danced and sang and made speeches . They cheered everybody , from Captain Putnam down to Peleg Snuggers , and the festivities were kept up until midnight . Then the boys went to bed -- but not to sleep -- for was this not the last night at school ? Innumerable tricks were played , including one on Peter Slade that that youth never forgot . This made the bully so angry he declared he was going to quit Putnam Hall for good , and he did , and nobody missed him .
