Receipts from the auction included full sale price of unclaimed trunks and lamps left by previous classes in the basement and ten percent of items sold by the graduating seniors of the House.
Goods sold at the auction varies from couches valued at $30 to a pair of shag rugs at 30 cents. One rug placed on sale was so dirty that the first few rows of people were forced to move. No one bid on it.
