24 THE SALMAGUNDI SENIOR HISTOR Y Do you want to know who we are? lVe're gents of the Senior Class, Wlelve traveled near and far, We've taken many a glassg Wie smoke and take our ease, lYe drink and sing our glees, lVe do as we damn please- Scell l The Historian of the Senior Class holds an unique and responsible posi- tion. Historians of other classes are confronted with the reflection that their task is not final, that there is still time for their successors in office to correct mistakes and oversights. Here there can be no correction. This History re- mains it is written Cunless the Junior Editor feels it his duty to mar its completeness with defacing interpolations of his ownl.

By virtue of these Procs we were lauded with unexpected praise from all sides. From the pious townspeople, from the Faculty,-yea, showers of blessings were poured upon our heads from that most eloquent and expressive of agencies, the pulpit itself. Did this meritorious deed cause us to languish, thinking we had accom- plished all? Not a bit. We have toiled unceasingly ever since. Read and be convinced. First, the Salt Rush. The Sophs, like Lot's wife, must have looked backwards at the critical time, for as pillars of salt they were swept to the ground, there to be sat upon by their superiors in deeds. f A little later came the Football game. Of course we lost this, for five of our classmen were on the Varsity Squad, and who would want to play on a class team with a Foot-ball MCU on his sweater? As to the fall track-meet with the Sophs-if we only had known in time, we would have given from three seconds to five minutes handicap in order to
