Cavalry Stables

In the chapter Cavalry Stables, I think it is a time when all of the students come together for once. At the end they explain that they continue the dance and howling around the fire like the "savages" they were. All of the boys have never had a moment where they all agreed on something, but here they seem to finally understand each other. It took one person's death to bring about 80 boys together. I think it may have some significance.

I also think it sort of links them to their heritage... sort of like a tribal bonfire. They are honoring Sterling's death.
