Scenes which tell of the past deeds and predict a still greater future for '89.s I am at a loss. What incident shall I picture first? As if in response, a long rope seems to glide before me. One end of it is carried by a crowd of the heaviest men of ’88. They pass on with a smile of scorn on their beardless4 5 faces, as they think of the easy victory, which they are about to gain over the group of insignificant (so they think) Sophomores at the other end.4 All ready!
