Since that date we have made history, and the class has permanently established itself as a member of the University family. It has, in addition, constituted itself one of the liveliest and most genial of that interesting group, as our social events must prove.
Our first class reception was held November 22d, with an attendance of eighty, and was a decided success in every way, as have since been all our social events.
Whether sleighing or skating, in social circles or in recitation room, we find the '99ers ever the same genial energetic, shrewd manipulators of their surroundings. Shame that we should boast of our ability to manipulate scissors; yet, to prove that we are not the slowest of mortals even in class "scraps," we might refer the deluded few to the squad of "Second Preps" that waited for two hours for street cars on a cold and windy November night while their intended victim enjoyed the class reception.
We might enumerate at length similar instances, but the aim of the University is too high to admit waste of time on such trivial incidents. Suffice it to say that not a single undertaking of the class but has been a splendid success, and the word defeat is not in our vocabulary.
