SENIOR CLASS— 92 A History Our college course is ending. We shall soon complete our brief stay here; and then we shall leave to assume the new duties and engage in the greater struggles for which we have been training. Only yesterday we came. The flitting years have left us with precious memories. We see ourselves in the olive-drab and hobnails, and feel the hushed, oppressive silence of the ranks, the awe-strained tenseness, the ill- suppressed emotion. Again we hear the news of peace, await demobilization, and sense the gradual relief as we discard our martial dress to turn to thoughts of peace and to our studies. Thus ended our service, in S.A.T.C. or at the front; and thus we gathered. May we with pride review the achievements of the past? We need not mention our memorable freshman banquet, so victoriously held in spite of the meddling juniors. Rather we will recall our reaflinnanee of allegiance to law and order when unitedly we arose in support of the Dean to purge our institu- tion of a sinister element. For our greatest pleasure is to feel that we have contributed in some small way to the welfare and progress of the school. Indeed we have seen it increase in numbers to the largest enrollment in its history. We have honored the quarter century of distinguished service ren- dered bv Dean Fiero. For the first time the Albany Law School is recognized and represented in inter-collegiate activities and is engaged in successful com- petition on the basketball court with proud collegiate rivals. And today, as our parting tribute we present this annual — a production which has never before, been undertaken by any Law School class. But this is not all. Let ours be a greater test. Let the measure, of our benefaction be the spirit within which we have fostered, the standard and ideals which we have set, and the faith which we have encouraged. We have earnestly endeavored to promote and maintain the standards of democracy and good fellowship, and to build our progressive ideals into practical realities. If we have achieved this we shall go on with pleasant memories. For now we have reached another hill-top. A few days more and we will go down the valley, only to start the climb again. As we go and as we climb we shall not be forgetful of the debt we owe to Albany Law School. May our lives do their share in the perpetuation of her glory. Thirty-one
