But they soon began to discern in Dale Maple a growing admiration for Adolf Hitler, and for Nazi "efficiency." Dale took perverse pleasure in shocking his associates by singing the Horst Wessel song and Deutschland Uber Alles. When pink-cheeked Faculty Adviser James Hawkes became perturbed and tried to squelch his Nazi talk, Dale conceived a cordial dislike for Instructor Hawkes, became still more defiant. To the dismay of his roommate, Dale installed a bust of Hitler on his desk...
