Alston, as president of the student body, addressed the boys. Fellows, he said quietly, I do not think that it is at all necessary for us to take a Vote on this question. A week ago, I suppose the cup would have gone somewhere else but now things are different, and I want all tho-se in favor of giving the cup to dear old tPlodding Pete,' to signify, not by saying 'Aye,' but by shouting. Then the shouting and yelling that went on was such as was never heard at Whittier, not even at their most exciting games or rallies. Plodding Pete was a hero, and the din of shouting floated over into the little room in which he was lying in bed and made him glad. ROBERT GUMP, '21. The Bacteriologisfs Serenade Awake, my antiseptic love, And greet thy prophylactic squire, Beneath thy casement window I Strum on my hygienic lyre. Awake, awake, my septic love! Put on thy orthapedic shoes, Put on thy Ferris Good Sense waist And hasten to our rendezvous. While incense-bearing breezes blow From disinfected meadows, where Contented cows drink germicide, A And breathe the medicated air, We two will meet, my germless one And then in allopathic bliss Upon thy mouth Cfirst sterilizedl I'll drop a fumigated kiss. BY CAROL ANDREW in Works and Days. Thirty-one
