             Archie- He is definitely feeling the power of The Vigils. Now for the first time "The Vigils" was actually said out loud in school.
             Brother Leon- He is Archie's algebra teacher. I feel that he is taking a great stride in coming to The Vigils for help He is a wave of the future; knowing when help is desperately needed and knowing where to find. It is obvious that he is very much so respected by the students, Archie now steps out of those boundaries for he is no longer a student but a valuable resource.
             Chapter5: This chapter, in my opinion, was rather slow moving. The entirety of it dealt with the assignment of Goober. Goober was given the assignment of unscrewing all the screws in Bother Eugene's room. He was told when and how to do this task; also being assured that there is no conceivable way for him to be caught. At the end of this meeting (which took place in a dimly lighted storeroom by the gym) Archie had to reach into a box containing 5 white marbles and 1 black. If Archie pulled out a white marble Goober was to complete the task as assigned, however, if he pulled out the one black marble Archie himself had to do the task. This system of a box was developed many years" back by The Vigils.
