Houck, and points west as Buttercups, Violets, and Pansies, in all conscience, or were their eternal identities to be derived from Greek or Roman pantheon? Would We have Bachii, Venuses, Neptunes, Adonises, Aphrodites, etc., or perchance would the plan be so devised to distinguish us by astronomical terminology? There might, it was stoutly held, be the Pegasi, the Cassiopeans, the Saturnalians, the Moonshiners. Then there was the school which firmly stood its ground for a quasi-medical nomenclature frankly suggestive of cer- tain anatomical improvement cults, i.e., the Tonsilitics, Dia- betics, Gall Stone Quarryists, Fallen Archers, Distended Ab- domenites, Back Rubbers, Ioint Adjusters, Contract Hippites and Asthmaticians. Dismayed at the alarmingly increasing complexity of the situation Prexy Morgan quietly announced one morning to the assembled factions that until they could reach some agree- ment in the matter the three groups would be referred to in the official archives by the simple alphabetical designation in vogue ever since. 65
