Stray Pick-ups [Surprise Birthday Serenade]

The Hesperian Student, May 15, 1889

Text reads: "The band boys with their co-eds spent a very favorable evening last Saturday. They met at the Uni with the apparent intention of going out on a serenade, and promenaded out to Eighteenth and L to the accompanient [accompaniment] of the Major drum, before Males thought to remember that it was the occasion of his twenty-first birthday and to conclude that he was marching the band out to serenade himself. They dispersed early Sunday morning. Bryan receives credit for neatly working up the surprise."
