The Return of Philo T. McGiffin by David C Poyer
From the day he reported in for Plebe Summer, everyone agreed: Philo T. McGiffin was a wimp. The original Philo McGiffin, Class of 1882, was a mythic master of outrageous escapades who became a symbol of subversive individualism to generations of mids. But his namesake seemed unlikely to carry on the tradition. Yet ultimately The Mouse triumphs in the grand style of his predecessor.
