e. fv I 4 'T' 5 1lntrobuction W ' thigh , F ax I-IE Class of '98 sends greetings to its friends and to the world at large and hurls defiance at its enemies, not that it has enemies, for we have annihilated them, but nevertheless, it hurls. It has been asserted before V by every class from every college, that It, was the greatest class ever turned loose, which of course was but blatant boasting, because, it is, must be, perfectly evident to everybody that we are the greatest. Look at our achievements, and those you cannot find, in mercy's name, take on faith. Look at us! look well, and look again, are we not all we claim and not what an envious minority might have us. We are the sodium chloride of the dental universe! Our cheers are the jubilations of a hostg our discontent is the mutter- ing of the thunder, our assertion is the howling of the cyclone. With this modest introduction to our undeniably just claims and with this mild plea for attention, that had better be respect- ful, the Class of Classes, the P. D. C. of '98 introduces the first record of its bright life and marvelous labors in this class book. All who agree with and applaud us in our diffident introduc- tion, and who admire the Class Book, we unhesitatingly rank among those worthy of our distinguished approval, but to those ill disposed and narrow minded persons who hint at bombast and self assertion, we cast the anathemas of the eighth wonder of the world-the modest and retiring Ninety Eighter's.
