This time Salomon was able to bring about a successful class danceg he i refused to repeat the shortcomings in this respect in our freshman class, although 5 rm this had by no means been due to any lack of zeal on his part. 5 5 E 5 Let us now pass onward to the senior year, the beginning of the end, the end :E 5 ?:.-E of the beginning.

The only trouble with the auto- Ei' : EOE matics, according to the general but probably biased opinion of the class, was that .
