AND
GENTLEMEN OF THE JURY.
Our three years of study are over. As seniors about
to leave this venerable institution it becomes, in ac-
cordance with custom, our duty and our privilege, to
present to this court a record of men and events of the
past year. We have striven to meet that obligation, to
the end that this memorabilia might be as a fountain, at
which, in the years to come, we may drink deep of pleas-
ant memories and reminiscences of these, our years of
preparation for the Bar. As we proceed to lay the evi-
dence before you, we ask the indulgence of this court and,
jury, that if perchance, there has been aught overlooked
or forgotten it may be attributed to the zeal and inex-
perience of counsel trying their first case. (May it
not be their last).
And now, let us call our first witness.ElevenThe Capitol

At the end we pause, turn back for a moment in retrospect, and remem-
ber—before we turn ourselves to the infinitely more difficult tasks that seem
to loom before us in the inexorable future.
In this retrospective view, this fleeting backward glance, we see many
things in our three years at the Albany Law School which give us a deep-
felt sense of satisfaction in having performed and accomplished, conscien-
tiously and well, what we had set out to do. And if there is any one thing
more than another that we now may look back on with pleasure, it is the
readiness with which we learned and understood, and, eventually, made a
living part of ourselves the traditions and the spirit of our school.
And we hand these traditions down to our successors as we have re-
ceived them from our predecessors. We have kept the faith. With almost
prophetic accuracy, the compiler of our first class history, said, in reference
to the discouragements that met us as freshmen: “ But we went on.” We
feel the prophecy has been fulfilled; that the time has come when we can
look back and say that we have gone on. In a way, the spirit of carrying on
has been the distinctive spirit of our class. Each class leaves the distinctive
mark of its class personality on the traditions of the school, that becomes
part of them. That, we believe, is ours and the fullness of time will tell.
Historically, the career of the class of 1923 has been marked by pro-
gress in every line of undergraduate activity. Since our coming to the
school, athletics have been started on a collegiate scale. The name of the
Law School has gone far and wide on basketball courts. From the very
beginning, members of the class of 1923 took part in that advance march,
both in the active game and in the more intricate details of management and
direction.
Scholastically we have witnessed a period of change in many details of
school work—all for the better, and all part of the ever constant march in
advance in which 1923 has never failed to shoulder arms and to follow or
lead, as it saw its duty.
Politically we have been fortunate. There have been but few disputes.
Our elections and our meetings as a class have been in that spirit of unity
and cooperation that we look forward to at the Bar. It is that spirit, more
than anything else—the willingness to appreciate and to understand and to
help one another that has enabled 11s to live true to our ideal to “ carry on.”
While that spirit lasts we fear not the future.

Art Contributor to Verdict (2) (3).
How wc used to smile freshman and junior
years when Gladys came nonchalantly in at
any time from 9:15 to 9:30. This year she
has been closer to the main entrance, fortu-
nately for Gladys. We wish all of us could
take life as philosophically as she docs. If
she makes up her mind, nothing—not even the
charge of a Supreme Court Justice will halt
her progress. Incidentally, wc arc appreciative
of her art work which has enlivened the pages
of the Verdict since her debut at Albany
Law.

Justinian; Class Secretary (3): Designer of
Page Border for 1923 Verdict (3).
“ Jo " " Meim "
"And lo! M. Albee’s name led all the rest.”
In Miriam, the unsympathetic law has found
a constant lover and ’23 has known always the
unchanging smile of a true and understanding
friend. She invariably underestimates that
knowledge of the law which in its surcncss
and comprehensive quality, puts the wisest of
us to shame. She has meant much to 1923.
The sweetness of her disposition is never
dulled by the stormiest of weather or the bluest
of blue Mondays in Practice Court. It is
permanent and forever.

" Jimmie ”
From the Pine Hills section, famous for its
fair women, fine houses and “ Orange Blos-
soms,” via Scotland, comes this blithe and
debonair youth, the fairest of Law's fair
Seniors. What Jimmie doesn't know about
women “ain't.” It is said that Jimmie’s mail
carrier daily staggers under the load of
catalogs enterprising merchants send him for
his inspection—brochures depicting every-
thing of interest to the prospective bridegroom,
from installment jewelry to Aladdin Houses.
But. Jimmie! Don’t you know that the first
sigh of love is the last of wisdom?

" Al" “Aver”
Averbach is our metriculous commuter. That
is to say. day by day he manages to ride over
from Schenectady in the trolley express and
never, to conscious observation, does lie lose
the primness of dress and purity of collar and
linen with which he leaves his electric city
boudoir. Once in a mad. spattering, mud-
embalming taxi dash to Albany to get to an
“ exam ” when trolley service failed, six
Schenectady youths emerged limp and travel-
stained. But Albert came forth as unscathed
as Daniel from the Lion's Den—smiling at
tonsorial adversity.

Class Poet (2)
" Mike " “ Hart "
Mike has hob-nobbed and rubbed shoulders
with many a movie celebrity in the course of
his professional career prior to deigning his
talent on the law. Which is a modest way of
telling you he has been “ in the pictures.” as
Robert Vignola might say. He appeared in
the “ Blue-Eyed Villain ”—three reel master
film—in the role as top bellboy, and was a con-
spicuous figure in the mob scene of the “ Birth
of an Idea.” Law is with him only atmosphere
—local color. And to think that he was born
within sight of Brooklyn Bridge!

that? Long distance? Call for Mr. Bartlett?

Our little Napoleon. For who else but the

and so many talents; orator, actor, student,
politician, financier and philosopher, and the
originator of many brilliant schemes and suc-

“Judge” Lawler and ofttimes impersonates
Captain Kidd. He has a left-handed sense of
humor and can turn a deaf ear—when con-
venient. Is he a clever politician? Ask him.

" Frank ”
Here indeed is the man versatile, one who is
cites Itti anywhere from the plush draperies of
society’s boudoir to the toughest dive in the
toughest part of the slums. 'Tis rumored that
in his youth he aspired to be a journalist.
When it comes to information, Frank has no
rival. He can discuss any phase of politics,
history, religion, or the latest scandal, and is
inimicably at home on any question, from
“ Education in the Capital District Before the
Flood ” to “ The Cosmic Urge Among Modern
Martians.” Just recently he has taken up tow-
ing about some sweet and dainty young blonde.
But lie’s a hclluvah good boy.

“Bill” "Pick"
A mighty man with a ministerial air, Bill
has gone through life with a seriousness that
is so intense that it leaves a perpetual halo of
sadness about his comely face. We think that,
secretly, his life is imbued with an aloof sense
of nicety. ‘‘He was among them, but not of
them.”

" Judge " " Ox " " Jack " “ Huff "
This versatile athlete was born in Manchester,
England. At an early age he had won the
championships of all sports worth while in the
“ right little, tight little isle,” and set sail for
larger fields to conquer. From “ Ruff’s” own
blushing account of his athletic prowess, we
wonder how he found time to develop those
Fritz Kreislcr tones on the fiddle to which we
vainly attempted to dance after the basketball
games. If the lightning speed of his hand
when ‘‘Ox” volunteers in class is indicative
of his speed on the cinder track, he must be a
Charlie Paddock.

" Brownie ” " Kruno ”
If knowledge can be gleaned from environ-
ment. then “ Bruno ” should be accomplished.
Not only is he a member of our most learned
class, but he is also burdened with the task of
making a periodical survey of our library in
order that the books may not decompose.
Judging from the condition of most of the
books, this is a man’s size job. ' Bruno ’’
preaches the doctrine of self-confidence, culti-
vates the faculty field with a heavy drag, and
aspires to the bar—but never has had his foot
on the rail.

" Chief " “ Ed " “ Brownie "
As a fearless fire-fighter, “ Brownie ” has no
equal in the ranks of the Shortsville Hose
Company. Whenever the still, night air of
Shortsville is pierced by the shriek and clang
of the fire gong, a cry goes up from the multi-
tude for ’’Our Hero.” FIRE.” “FIRE.”
“MAN THE BUCKETS.”
But word of the great conflagration has
already reached the ears of the “chief.” He
gathers his retinue about him as he dons the
red shirt that bespeaks his authority. “ Hush.”
" Silence along the lines.” “ Hark you,
Dominick, we will meet at the village pump
and there we will lay our pipes. And remem-
ber—women and children first.”

" Tanner"
From across the waters of the majestic Hud-
son and out of the fog and mist of the smoky
city comes this fair youth seeking knowledge
within the time honored walls of this historic
school. Leaving Georgetown to join us in
the Junior year. “Tanner” lost no time in
doing things and became the captain of our
basketball team. His speed on the court is
matched only by his agility with the books,
and he dangles a coveted Justmian key as
evidence of that fact. But there is nothing
ostentatious about him and perhaps he even
approximates the other extreme.

" Doikj "
This little boy with a perfect visage is a
Mellin's food baby from Rensselaer. “Doug”
would have beaten Apollo to a frazzle if he
hadn’t over-developed his vo:ce—one of the
smooth, highly polished type. Look him over,
boys. “ Aw. gee, fellows, don’t put that in.

“ Milt"
Brilliance emanates from “ Milt ’’ even as light
from the sun. Perhaps it may be considered
irrelevant to describe him as being the pos-
sessor of red hair, but we feel it our duty to
say. as a matter of record, that he has light,
auburn hair and also the characteristics which
are so pronounced in a person so burdened.
It’s a dull class meeting when ‘‘Milt" can't
pull off some fireworks.

Red Cro;s, 1917-2J. Secretary, Albany
County Board of Child Welfare, 1916-23.
Between politics and child-welfare work, it is
almost inconceivable how Ruth finds time to
devote to the study of the law. She likes
fresh air immensely. To sit with a window
closed, shutting out the delightfully, balmy
December gusts is to her a sign of total de-
pravity. The freshness of scent with a hint
of spruce and pine, noticeable in the Senior
room at the beginning of lectures, is due to
her motherly solicitude in opening the win-
dows. And to think she nearly became Judge
of the Children’s Court. Even now, in her
quasi-judicial way, she murmurs in liquid tones
when class decisions please her, “ I concur.”

“ Al ”
When we look at " Al ” we realize what an
advantage there must be in being able to cope
with the big things in life and at the same
time not having to bend our backs to do it.
We have often reflected on the immensity of
the Jersey “ skccters ” and we had formed the
impression that nothing greater could be bred
there. But when we saw “ Al,” we were
aware that we had made a serious mistake.
As yet he hasn’t decided on where he will
practice when he gets out of college, but there
is a story in circulation that there is a girl .n
the case. "Ain’t Love Grand?"
Margery C. Collins Chaumont
" Marg »
Margery lives at the “ Y. W.” Of course
there’s nothing against that. But she actually
receives telephone calls there. Masculine
voices. ”Y. W.” traditions trampled! A
group of girls enviously gathered around the
fire place, listen to Margery at the ’phone.
They learn no more of her than have her
puzzled classmates. That’s next to nothing.
But we do know she loves the law. Whom
else she loves, we. like the ”Y. W.” girls,
cannot tell.

Blue eyes, rosy cheeks and fleeting hair are

“chase” rum in any sense of the word. He

Sam has finally achieved the goal toward
which he has long cast lingering eyes—the
power to sway vast multitudes. As cheer-
leader, Sam has been, to say the least, the
“ big noise.” I f he can in later years sway a
jury as he has a cheering section, he promises
to be a successful attorney. Then, too, there
must be something about Sam that we know
nothing about, for he admits that the women
all fall for him. Perhaps it is the block “ A ”
on his sweater that does the trick. Lord only

Jim identified the place where he was born by
writing “ Amsterdam N. Y.”
As to where he now resides, it is merely “ Am-

now it is Amsterdam—the place where Jim

on a desert isle with lots of cannibal women,
a pack of Camels, and no work in sight. The
last item would considerably relieve his con-

simply must get it done. He spends hours

the blase and the risque. Charlie claims to
have been born at New Paltz, where many

school inarms, and we often wonder how
Charlie managed to tear himself from these

God blessed the Irish. He takes life rather
pugnaciously and is inclined to make speeches
and tell stories for the benefit of the instruc-
tors. The stories are often appreciated as
much as the recitations. Like most Gallaghers,
he is somewhat of a politician. Often his
ideas are radically disconcerting—even start-
ling at times. But he usually manages to
make himself heard and respectfully listened
to. In his white shirt front at a Junior prom,
or any other of the more or less brilliant social

teaming the organization. Baseball is his ob-

leaguers in southern camps in the gentle art
of pitching, but to the politician nothing else
is like politics, and the City Hall is the best

cannot and will not be caught. Every ques-
tion must be simple. He hates nothing more
than two-edged meanings. Then, when he
makes speeches, his remarks are clear and
explosive; snappy, and emphasized with a
vigorous shake of the head. You are always
sure what he means. There never is any
catch to it, and certainty follows.

John T. Saunders
L S. Marine Corps (2nd Division. A. IS. F.),
1917-19; Five Major Engagements; Croix dc
Guerre.
" Jack "
This serious youth, modest bearer of the Croix
de Guerre, has a reticence concerning his part
in the War which is almost insurmountable.
No one ever hears him begin the old line—
“ Well, at the Argonne. I—” because he has
forever turned his back on the deeds of war.
He took part with the American Marines in
five great battles of 1918, and yet has far, far
less to say about the conflict than the assistant
k. p. at Spartansburg. He was there, and we
arc glad to have him here with us in '23.
Edmund Charles Sullivan Albany
Class Marshal (3).
“lid” “Sully” "Eddie”
Think of a heavenly dancer, a blaster of
hearts and a captor of maids—and you have
our " Sully.” His favorite pastime is indulg-
ing in tete-a-tetes with the dentist and discuss-
ing H. G. Wells. But such a happy soul! His
worst trouble is keeping a cigarette lit and his
hair parted. Law is the studied target of
" Eddie’s ” capabilities, but he’s so short he'll
have to stand on his toes to reach the bar.
But then—think of Napoleon!

SeventyLuis I I. Tirado San Juan. Porto Rico
Chancery.
Luis is one of those quiet, unassuming fellows
who sits in class with an air of rapt attention
and never misses a thing. The boys who sit
around " The Sheik ” are all quite suspicious
as to the contents of certain pink, perfumed
letters which Luis receives at regular inter-
vals of twenty-four hours. He claims they
are from his cousin, but who ever got a letter
from his cousin in a pink envelope—and per-
fumed at that? His cousin, by the way, is a
former governor of Porto Rico, and we simply
knoiv he doesn’t write perfumed letters.

•’ Tommy ” “ Milly ”
Our little Milorad, unlike most embryo lawyers,
believes in very loud, splashy clothes, and can
be seen almost any day stepping around in
his loose fitting suit with a henna tic and
scarf to match. If you can picture a future
Court of Appeals judge in an outfit like this
you can pick up the marbles. We tried the
suggestion on the staff artist and lie balked.
But even at that we’ll bet “ Tommy ” will
say, “ That’s swell ” when he sees this picture.
" I'm the ritzy kid from Ritzville, and I don’t
care who knows it.”

nil'; Devil’s Own; Verdict Board (3); Class
Secretary (3).
U. S. Artillery, 1917-19.
“ Took ” " Hob ” ‘7 ubby ”
“ Took ’’ claims New York, but when pressed
admits it’s really Riverhead—always adding,
however, “ Only 45 minutes from Broadway.”
How do they do it ?
Next to coining from Riverhead, his greatest
hardship has been to sit next to “ Tommy ”
every day for two years and to have to stop
that AWFUL LINE. Right gallantly has he
stood the gaff. We know now where he got
that air of “ injured innocence ’’ in that first
Senior photo.
Someday, when “Took” is elected Mayor of
New York, and has backed Hylan into the
discard, we arc coming down to visit him. and
let him show us the sights all along Broadway
—Riverhead.
Guy Torbert Ithaca
KS; Devil’s Own; Class Chaplain (3).
Cornell University, 1918-20; Baseball Squad
(2).
U. S. Navy, 1917.
“Happy” "Torb” “John Guy”
Introducing “Hap” Torbert—our one and
original exhibit “A” of the garden variety
“ parioris snakem ”—no substitutes accepted.
One of his worst faults is his propensity for
nocturnal excursions along the gay white way.
But why. oh why, gentle reader, docs he PER-
SIST in singing on such occasions. A dozen
assorted screech owls are music to the car
compared to his melodious chirps. It has
been rumored that “ Hap ” is a caveman, hut
that doesn't seem possible in one so gentle and
loving. “Torb” is a legacy from Cornell.
They won!

"Jerry"
Jerry ” came to us from Holy Cross in search
of more knowledge and with the firm resolve
to live the life of a hermit. His knowledge
of cozy parlors has broadened extensively—
even for one who hails from the “ Parlor
City.” In fact you can find him in a different
one every night. But why all the mystery
about the last few dates, Jerry? All the boys
know where those cigars came from. We go
after them ourselves, occasionally, when we
haven’t the price of cigarettes. His specialty
is mahogany humidors and inlaid floors—when
lie can find them.
James R. Waring Rochester
Justinian.
University of Rochester, 1919-20.
" Jim ”
"Wanted—a Platonic wife; cooking and light
housekeeping all that will be required.” Such
a want ad might be sponsored by Jim Waring,
for it is a true reflection of his idea of marital
bliss. His fortunate soul mate, one feels, will
never be blessed with overdoses of affection.
He doesn’t believe in love divorced from
economics. Jim has a big gun. a six-shooter,
which he prizes highly. On one memorable
tour through the underworld of Albany, he
exhibited it proudly before cowering habitues
of Big Charlie’s. The story runs—“the gun
spat fire and six gangsters bit the dust.”
Seventy-threeJohn T. White, Jr. Saratoga Springs
Class Marshal (2) (3),
Niagara University, 1919-20.
“ Jack " " Whitey ”
Saratoga produced this fine exhibition of pro-
tective solidarity, who for two years has
guarded the outer-portals while our class has
met in secret conclave. When acting in his
official capacity, he sits, like Omar the tent
maker at the gateway of Abdul Hamid’s
harem, with his chair firmly wedged against
one door, defying passage, blindly oblivious to
the fact that the other two exits are as open
as the welcome arms at a Salvation Army
rally. We don’t blame Jack for picking out a
college near home. We would, too, if we had
a little Skidmore in our town.
John J. Woods Troy
-TA
" Woody ” “ Dcack ”
" Hi say. old top. you cawn’t tell me hany-
thing like that . . .” "Dash it all! 'E’s’ad
years of service with the blooming D.
Haich," and amid three resounding cheers for
King George, " Deack ” puts his candidate in
the field. Woods loves the ’’ Dec Haich.”
Its quaint locomotives bring him to school
each morning from Troy. No wonder his
supporting zeal for Kelly. Destroy the sacred
traditions of thy country’s institutions! Defy
the Hudson river’s sacred tide! Hut dare not
thou raise a hand against our " I). Haich.”

" TUtic " “ Lee ”
From the cool, lager beer embellished pre-
cincts of Unter den Linden in Berlin, to the
Puritanical snugness of Bath. N. Y., “Lee”
Yost’s wanderings have earned him a place as
a real live globe trotter. " When I was in
Germany”—begins the story of wild life with
the Crown Prince. He has seen the evils of
Hamburg, the wild women of Ostend Beach,
and the wonders of the “ Follies Bcrgc,” and
still he returned to us as pure and sweet as
when he left.

“ Hill ”
Even Burleson in all his glory never held a
candle to Bill in his official capacity of “ Post-
master ” of the class of 1923, as the Albany
newspapers persisted in designating him. We
hope Bill never abuses the privileges of his
high office by " franking" his voluminous mail
to the girls he left behind him in the Flower
City. Nights, when Bill is not playing with
the Rochester Centrals, lie is toasting in the
line of his official duty at the Seneca or trip-
ping the " light fantastic" into some maiden’s
heart at the Rochester.

Junior ClassJunior Class History
Juniors! Father Time lias hustled us along our journey until now we
have successfully run two-thirds of our course in old Albany Law. and we
are about to take upon ourselves the dignity of Seniors—also the Practice
Act and Evidence. Then, the gods permitting, take unto ourselves the
coveted degree, descend into the valley again and fight to gain the pinnacle
of that other hill, SUCCESS, in the business of life.
In the beginning we signed the pledge to keep the peace. We have
kept it and found it consistent with keeping a full measure of that hilarity
which is an essential feature of class spirit and college tradition, while we
have grown in wisdom, in knowledge and in favor with the faculty and men.
In politics ’24 cannot be rivaled. If it does not produce a goodly num-
ber of statesmen and political spellbinders it will not be because its members
lack practice in that line, but rather because they have had enough of politi-
cal intrigue. Already '24 knows “ Robert’s Rules of Politics ” a good deal
better than how many class taxes it has paid.
In athletics ’24 has taken a prominent part, contributing Dobris, Foy,
Klein and Reynolds to the basketball forces of Albany Law. The history
of ’24 has been one of which we feel proud. Her representations on all the
school organizations have done her credit. She has had a successful past,
and looks forward to an even brighter future.
“ May e’en her faults lean to Virtue’s side.”

To Bee or not to Bee—that is the Sting. Born in the Fall,
cut in the mid-die, bust-ed in the Spring—it’s a hard Life.
Wean-ed from our Homes, we came to Law School to stud-v
Law. In-stead we stud-v Books. AVhat are Books forV Some-
body writes some-thing. It’s print-ed in a Book. You read the
Book to find out what’s writ-ten in it. That’s all we know a-bout
them. But no! That’s not what Books are used for. Far from
it. All Books have their par-tic-u-lar Uses. Even if they have
Use-less Uses, they have Uses. Past Uses are now Use-less
Uses; yet Use-less or not Use-less Uses, they must be learn-ed.
What’s it all a-bout, we want to know?
We thot that Laws were sett-led,—or at least anchor-ed. To
the oon-trary, De-vel-op-ment is all the Rage. The good, old
Ro-mans! They knew not what they start-ed. The Law has
been de-vel-op-ing for Sev-er-al Thou-sand Years and is still in

- -Review of Basketball Season 1922-25
Faced with the most formidable collegiate schedule yet to be arranged by
a purely professional school anywhere, Albany Law in its 1922-23 basketball
season, in a game practically still in its infancy in the school, played well
against its bigger, heavier and more experienced collegiate and university
rivals.
While the team won five out of eighteen games on its schedule, in the
comparison of the total number of points scored, with the total of its rivals,
the team made a much better showing—402 points being scored by Albany
against 525 by their opponents.
Handicapped at the beginning of the year by the graduation of Powers,
Behan and Taylor, all members of last season’s team, Captain Burns did well
to develop such a harmonious and aggressive five as the 1922-23 team has
proven to be. Coach Yavits deserves much credit for his work, in which he
was ably assisted by Rinaldi, Captain of the 1922 basketball team of Union
University.
The winning ability of the Law School was seriously impaired by the lack
of a suitable gymnasium. The Albany High School Court where the team
has formerly practiced and played became unavailable in the early part of the
season. Consequently the team was forced to adapt itself to new courts, play-
ing thereafter in both the armory and the Catholic Union hall.
After the combat with the Crescent A. C., when it seemed that the Lawyers
had at last struck their stride, press despatches commented as follows: “The
Law School five through the victory, arc in a position to demand recognition
from any of the leading college fives in the east. They accomplished a feat
that only Yale and Dartmouth have been able to accomplish this season, and
their margin of victory was greater than that of either of these teams which
are members of the Intercollegiate League. The Lawyers played champion-
ship basketball.”
Captain Burns was the most consistent scorer on the team. Always a
dependable player, he steadied the team in the face of all difficulties. In the
Rochester game Captain Burns showed his best form when he stacked up
against Callaghan, who had been outscoring his men all season—even in the
Yale Cornell games. “ Tanner ” held his opponent to a single field goal,
while scoring 14 points himself.
D’Aprile, '23, the star forward of the team scored 119 foul points dur-
ing the season and 20 field baskets. He was selected forward on the“ All
Star Team ” of the Capital District and will be a pronounced loss to tjhc
Lawyers’ team of 1923-24.
Dobris,’ 24, exhibited an excellent brand of basketball, playing for the
Lawyers throughout the entire season. He was selected Captain and guard
of the second “ All Star Team ” of the Capital District.
One Hundred Thirty-twoTop Roza—Francis, Dobris, Clark, Yavits, McLean, Tomanovidt, Fecn
Second Roza—Burns, Foy, IYAprile, Klein
Bottom Roza—Aulisi, Nolan
Foy, ’24. scored the greatest number of field baskets during the season.
With two years' experience he will undoubtedly be one of the strongest men
on the 1923-24 team.
Clark, ’25, was the outstanding representative of the Freshman Class. A
regular on the team his Freshman year, he should be of unusual value during
the next two years.
Outweighed by practically every opposing team; practicing and training
under unfavorable conditions, yet, withal, playing clean, high-calibre basket-
ball the Alumni and students of the Albany Law School have cause to be proud
of the 1922-23 team. With the better facilities for practice and playing that
are coming in the near future, Albany Law School basketball teams can main-
tain the same standard of playing the game as evidenced in the past, and, we
hope achieve more victories.

A “Column” with Apologies to F. P. A.
Dedication
“ I HAVE REARED ME A COLUMN
More lasting than ye granite."
Often as we sat by the crackling logs at home and pored over the A. L. S.
catalogue in the last of our High School days—(we thought then that the
Education Building was used by the faculty as an office)—we used to wonder
why the part that told about the debating “ and other " societies formed by
students was given so inconspicuous a place.
It seemed a shame to us that so important and relevant a topic as a debat-
ing society in a Law school should be given only one line at the bottom of a
page, as if some day, when the rules at the top of the page became longer, it
should be crowded out altogether.
We didn't know then, in our unsophistication, that the debating society,
like tucking one’s napkin in one’s collar, “ simply isn't.”
Nor that catalogues should not be taken literally. The Junior class in its
characteristic perverseness, took this debating thing seriously, while it tram-
pled, totally disregarding, on some of the most sacred traditions ot tne school.
But even it learned—in time. One hears no more of that society, docs one?
Business of the courts has grown tremendously, we are told. So it seems.
Even the registrar’s office has felt it. Appropriately painted in black, it ha!s
placed three boxes outside its door to receive papers, and thus expedite the
rush of business. The boxes are sepulchral. They suggest rough boxes, and
seem to say: “ Who enters here can ne'er turn back." They are the seals of
fate. One shudders like E. A. Poe might, at their ghastly significance.
And they danced the «-esthetic. Grecian, nymphic fantasy on the concrete
campus.
But not every school has a nice concrete campus.
Asphalt, spare that campus!
It is reported there are rattlesnakes in the proposed new campus in
Sheridan Park.
Maybe we could put salt on their tails and preserve them for the amuse-
ment of future generations of freshmen.
Our Hundred Forty-twoWith the rattles could easily go heroic tales of battles with ferocious snakes
to startle the nursery.
Speaking of aesthetic campuses—in the rear of the school there is a little
patch of ground that is beloved to us all. It is our “ inner campus.” Weeds
grow there. Once in an exam we sat and thought, looking out of the window.
There were two birds mating. Above was blue sky . . . green blades of
grass were just visible through the melting snow—we thought ... of many
beautiful things—but not of the answer.
The Dean is reported to be of the opinion that examinations should be
penned legibly. He has even gone so far as to say that if he is unable to read
an examination paper, he cannot be responsible for results.
The following has been returned several times by the printer for scriptic
interpretation. Even when typewritten 'copy was handed him. he seemed to
have grave doubts as to its legibility. We call it:
Rhyme or a Reckless Senior
Oh, I should wor-
Ry how I write.
I know my scrib-
bling is a sight.
• I feel no penman
Guy could dope
Out what 1 mean;
But I have hope
. He’ll KNOW the an-
swer that I write,
Nor have to read—
He’ll FEEL I’m right.
That’s what the printer did—lie felt his way.
“ This is what the statute says, but—here is how you make the money.
With profuse veneration for Don Marquis, we take off our hat to our
own wall mottoes: •“ Don’t read that case today, it may be overruled tomorrow.
Patience is its own reward," and " Never discuss business with a client when
you can tell him you arc too busy to be bothered."
F. B.
Sponge—“ I think a street car hash just passed.
Wet—“ How yuh know?”
Sponge—“ I can slice its tracks.”
One Hundred Forty-threeImpressions of a Premature Graduate
I’ve “ busted out.” Oh! maddening thought
That prompts me these few lines to write;
The thoughts that fill my throbbing brain
Are black as somber shades of night.
Ambition once surged through my breast
And filled me with a pulsing fire;
But now no more—'tis flown away
Likewise my Mope and my Desire.
But lest you think the happening strange
And. credulous your wonder shout:
. Let not your conscience shape your thoughts
For twice before I’ve “ busted out.”
'Twas back within niv high school days
When youth went wild and did not care;
I overstepped conventions’ bounds
And consequently “ took the air.”
Elusive knowledge I pursued
Not dampened by my first mistake;
Hoping that my fortunes might
By chance escape the croupier’s rake.
My college days were short and sweet,
I found I could not linger long;
Strange as it seems, I realized
The world was right, and I was wrong.
No more the campus I will tread,
Nor tarry brief within its halls;
Tho' I stayed there but five short months,
I dearly love those old gray walls.
I studied some, I idled more—
I supped the dregs from Pleasure’s spoon;
And when examinations came,
I graduated—but too soon.
I rested then—and thought it o’er,
I still possessed financial means;
So this time dwelt upon the law,
To learn of contracts, torts and liens.
One Hundred Forty-fourOf my research in legal lore
Professors entertained some doubt.
For when they asked me what I knew,
I said, “ not much ” and “ busted out '
I'm going back where men are men,
Where air is pure and friends are true;
And there among my native hills.
I’ll find a wealth of things to do.
I'll teach the children of my town.
Who on this life are starting out,
To do their deeds with purpose true.
And hold a fear of “ busting out.’’
But when they read my epitaph.
if there be one-----1 have a doubt;
I hope they'll read there, nothing worse,
Than that I simply “ busted out.’’
A Plea in Abatement
Scene: The Night Court.
“ Naw! Judge, lissen! I didn't know it was after i o’clock and lissen.
Judge, I'm not the kind of a girlie who would break an old law, much less
lower myself by staying in a cabaret after i o’clock. And. lissen, Judge, any-
way it wasn't my fault. This guy of mine kept tellin’ me to sit down, and
honest to gosh, Judge. 1 couldn't do nothin' else without him hangin’ me a
bust on the jaw, cause, no kiddin,' Judge, while my guy’s got speed, he ain’t
got no control—not to speak of anyways, Judge. An' I ain't riskin’ goin' in
no joint anyway. Judge. I know that song palace ain’t no funeral parlor
putting out embalmin' fluid like the rest of ’em, Judge. I couldn’t be guzzlin'
that stuff with a clean heart, Judge, what with me gettin’ hitched up soon.
Only. I tells dearie (that's what I calls him. Judge), I tells lum when he
slips the rock on me thoid finger, I says: Lissen, kid. there’s going' to be no
taxis for this baby, even though the shiner is on her finger. The only cabs I
I get in with you is the one from the house to the City Hall to be married.’
Not that he’s that kind of a guy or nothin’. Judge. So you see, I oughtn’t to
be pulled in like this for bein’ in that cabaret after i o’clock, and—what—?
Ten bucks and costs!—. Aw, lissen, Judge.—”

Lawyers Hold Tight Awaiting Exam Skid
(Editorial Note: We submit the following clipping from the esteemed Timcs-Union
with mental reservations, disclaiming all liability and responsibility for the views set forth
therein).
Seniors at the Albany Law School are holding tightly to both sides of their
desks lest they be swept out when results of the mid-year examinations are
announced this week. Flapper expressions have been suppressed in favor of
long, worried, judicial countenances. The Seniors complain that day by day
in every way exams arc getting stiffer and stiffer, but they can't make them-
selves believe that they arc getting better and better. Tests in procedure evi-
dence and wills have been given and from the standpoint of the Seniors, it
would take a Hughes, Taft, or Littleton to gain a passing average.
Otic Hundred Forty-seven
An Hour in the Judge's Office
Judge Lawler is seated at his desk perusing a recently completed brief on
a million dollar breach of promise suit, which he has consented to try, out of
sheer pity and generosity, for a poor little chorine.
The telephone rings:—
“ Hello, hello!—Who?—Oh, yes, Senator,—Yes, Yes.—Nice afternoon.—
What?—Xo, I couldn't consider it.—Couldn’t consider it. I'm too busy just
now.—A hundred thousand retainer, eh?—H’m-’m—Well, I’m awfully sorry,
Senator, but I guess the D. H. will have to look for someone else. It’s ab-
solutely impossible to hire intelligent help these days.—Yes, yes—Goodbv.”
The Judge thoughtfully lights a Corona Carona (55c. per), crosses one
leg and muses upon the great opportunities one has to pass by in this life.
The office boy enters.
“ Beg pardon, sir, but will you see Mr. Lasky?”
The Judge: “ Lasky,—Lasky? Who’s he?”
Boy: “ Mr. Lasky, sir, of the Lasky Pictures, Inc.”
The Judge: “Oh, yes! Yes, yes. Show him in.”
Mr. Lasky enters.
The Judge: “How do you do, Mr. Lasky. Have a chair. Smoke? No?
Oh, yes,—yes, yes. I remember.”
Mr. Lasky: ‘‘How is my case coming on, Judge?”
The Judge: “ Why—a-a—, quite a difficult case, yes. It brings up some
nice distinctions of law. Of course, you understand that the motion picture
industry is very dear to my heart.—Very dear.—In fact, in the past, I have
been instrumental in opening the door to many people who were desirous of
coming into closer contact with the moving pictures. Do not w'orry, Mr. Lasky,
do not worry. I am taking the case to the Court of Appeals next week, and,
(here the Judge pats Mr. Lasky on the shoulder) we need not worry about
the outcome there.”
“ Goodday sir. goodday.” (In the meanwhile gently propelling Mr.
Lasky toward the door) “ Xo need to worry at all! Goodday. Come again."
The Judge returns to his desk, resumes his Corona Carona and rings
for the boy.
The boy enters.
The Judge: “ Bring in my golf bag and order the car for 2:30."
Boy: “Yes sir.” (nearly makes exit)
The Judge: “ Oh! Boy! Be sure there arc plenty of balls in the bag.—
Plenty!”
One Hundred Forty-eightThe telephone rings:
1 lello, hello!—Who?—Oh, yes. Mr. Barnes,—Yes, Yes.—Nice afternoon.
—What?—Outline the party platform?—Put some meat into it?—Yes, yes.
—I understand that the party needs rejuvenating,—needs some younger blood
in it. I really would like to—ah—sort of outline things for the boys.—Supreme
Court?—Me?—Why-a-a—it never entered my head.—Xo. I'm ab-so-lutc-ly
out of politics:—that is actively, of course,—you understand.—”
(The boy enters, golf bag over shoulders. The Judge suddenly remem-
bers golf match.)
“ Awfully sorry Mr. Barnes, awfully sorry. I'm afraid the Republican
Party will have to look for someone else.” (Stands up) "Important golf
match on this afternoon. The championship of Rome, you know, is at stake.”

One Hundred I:orty-)iineThe Chancery Trial
Lurid flashes blaze while photographers click cameras in unison; movie
men grind away industriously; reporters, carrying campaign typewriters,
elbow their way to the front and jam their curious heads in doors, while
edition after edition of their newspapers in black headlines inform anxious
readers of the march of events.
No, dear and gentle reader, the scene is not a Presidential assassination,
the battle of Bull Run, a Billy Sunday meeting, or a session of the New York
Board of Aldermen.
It is our own Chancery Society, staging a mock trial. The newspapers
had said the trial “ would reflect in the minutest detail, the actual practice in
New York State courts.” It did. On the bench sat Surrogate Lawyer. The
same precise consideration to questions involved in Chancery's mock trial was
given in his rulings on law and evidence, and the same judicial ease and grace
of manner were worn by him there, as on a certain other occasion, shortly
after, when issues of vast control were at stake before him in a real trial, and
shining lights of the Metropolitan bar marshalled formidably, facts before
him for decision.
Then there was a stenographer who worked assiduously for the correct-
ness of the record, and a clerk who mumbled sweet, incoherent nothings into
the ears of witnesses and pronounced them “ sworn,” in the traditional manner
of clerks.
The figure with folded arms! Who is he? Caesar? Oh no, that is not a
toga he wears, it is a late edition of a Rochester coat. Is he Joe Brant, the
Injun chief? With that slickly pasted hair? Never. The heroic folded
armed figure is none other than Milorad Tomanovitch. Himself in person!
Not a radio; not a moving picture.
If there was ever doubt as to who he is, there can be none as to what he
says. We listen. “ I object, I OBJECT.” Then a pause while the court rules
in the usual way. “ Oh I EXCEPT!” The court explains its position. “ Oh
no,” says Milorad in conclusion as he sits down. With the next question, he
begins all over. He has an inimitable faculty of excepting to the ruling of the
court. He seems to threaten bloody thunder on appeal. “ Wait till you see
what the Court of Appeals will say,” his jingoistic manner indicates. But the
Court cannot be swerved.
G—r—r—r, Wuf! Wuf! “But you did say that DIDN’T you? NOW
what do you say?” That’s Milton A. Chase, prosecuting attorney. Bingo!
Scare the witness. Make him shiver. Shake him up. Grill him. Make him
look ridiculous. Then sit down and say, “ We rest,” That’s Milton.
One Hundred FiftyThe poor jury! When the smoke settled and the court attendant took
them out, they looked as though they hadn’t the slightest idea what the trial
was all about.
True to the sacred traditions of juries, they couldn’t agree, but it was
getting near bed time and the call of Business College was loud for the next
morning, so they made it “ guilty.” The defendant looked guilty anyhow, the
jury thought.
And Giles got forty years.
“One Hard JVeek ’ ’
From a Senior's Diary
Monday—Woke up with beastly headache. Must be the foam on Riley’s beer
is getting too light. Slept through the Dean’s equity. Went to Troy
to see Maybclle. Put the pin on her. Couldn’t sleep at all.
Tuesday—Rotten day. The Dean woke me up in equity. Made rotten recita-
tion. Had rotten lunch. Riley’s beer tasted rotten. Went to Majestic
and saw rotten show. Called up Maybelle. She felt rotten. Worried
all night about her.
Wednesday—Knocked the Dean for a row in equity. Gave John some advice
in Practice Court. Got a call from Maybelle to come over. She’s feel-
ing fine. Had two at Riley’s and walked out. Followed a “ Wren ”
nearly to Pine Hills. Remembered Maybelle. Caught last car home.
Slept as though good old Morpheus was by my side.
Thursday—Cut all classes. Got letter from home. Dad thinks I’m spending
too much money. Wait till he gets the bill from Jim’s. Called up
Maybelle. Says she’s sick. I wonder if she’s sick of me. Visited
Riley’s. Walked streets all night. Love is hell.
Triday—Slept through the Dean’s equity. Had fried halibut skin for lunch.
Fed the nickclodean at Riley’s all afternoon. Called up Maybelle.
Caught i o’clock car home. Maybelle had a headache. Wonder if she
was bored.
Saturday—Slept all A. M. Went to Proctor’s in the P. M. Rotten show.
Called Maybelle. Same headache still in force. Got my anchor caught
on Riley’s bar. Had a bad voyage home. Dreamed I was the Dean of
Law School. Rotten night.
Sunday—Called Maybelle after lunch. Seems indisposed. Took next car to
Troy. Went to show alone. Had dinner with the girl. Got back the
pin. We never could have hit it off well anyhow. Went to Riley’s.
Better off there.

I made a date with Anne one night,
And planned a night of pure delight;
1'he soft settee, my fancy was,
Where Anne and I could coo and buzz.
Hut not for her! Not her! Oh No!
Her greeting was “ Where do we go?”
So olY we went to see a play.
And then some food at the cabaret.
And yet they say “ The woman pays.”
One night I telephoned Irene,
She surely was a classy queen;
Then down to l’eauman’s we did speed.
No play for her; no costly feed.
Here’s where, I thought. I’ve found the girl,
To play with me in life’s mad whirl,
Till at her door, what did she say
But “ So long. John, call me up some day.”
Who was it said. “ The woman pays?”
Philosophers may come and go—
Write books of life, they do not know;
Preachers may talk of earthly things—
Rewards, a good life always brings;
But I, for one. would like to find
A woman, true, of my own kind.
Who would, with me. both laugh and play.
And once in a while, forget to say—
“ I'll pay you back some other day.”

According to the Denver University
Parrakeet a professor at their Law school
is hindered by poor hearing. If a pupil
mumbles along while reciting, he is apt
to get by with very little preparation.
One of the class was called on, “ Mr.
Mahoney, state the next care please.”
The luckless student was void of any
knowledge on the subject but lie had a
copy of the Rocky Mountain News be-
fore him, so he read:—
" First inning—Ward tossed out Ban-
croft going far to his left to get a mean
bounder. Groh singled over second base.
Frisch ahead of him, Young flied out.
Kelly fouled out to Schang. Three
runs, three hits, no errors.”
“ What you say is substantially cor-
rect. if you mean that the plaintiff’s in-
junction should have been overruled.”
said the professor, presuming a good reci-
tation. --------y.-----

Watson: “ Bartholomew, have you
ever sued the railroad for delay in get-

“SS”
Jerry Tyne was struggling in Practice
class to distinguish between a petition
and an affidavit as to their form, and was
having tough sledding.
Dean (helpfully): ‘‘Well what does
the SS ’ stand for? ”
Jerry flashes the SOS signal and near-
by seniors broadcast helpfully as follows:
“ Short-stop, Jerry.”
“ Steam-ship.”
“ Stop-studying.”
“ Say-something.”
Jerry throws the sponge into the ring,

The Great American Jury
Joe Gallagher (in Evidence): “ In
equity the court would consider all the
evidence and give a decision which
would be fair and unprejudiced on the
whole evidence, whereas, in actions at
law before a jury there might be some
jurors of low mentality in the box who
would be swayed by evidence considered
incompetent by the court."
Dean: “ But you say, ‘ Gentlemen of
the Jury you have been chosen because
of your intelligence, etc.! ”
Joe: " Yes!!! That is just the guy I am
talking about, and HE BELIEVES IT
TOO !!! ” v •
Dean : (As Tooker’s name is called on

A teacher in a local school was ex-
plaining sentence construction to her
pupils. The topic went like this:
“ A predicate is an absolute necessity
in a sentence, to make it complete. Xo
sentence can be given without a predi-
cate.”
An unusually bright boy argued the
point with her. claiming that such a thing
was possible.
” Very well, then,” said the teacher,
" give me a sentence without a predi-
cate.”
“ Thirty days,” was the reply.
—Judge.
An old Scotsman was consulting his
lawyer as to whether or not it was advis-
able for him to take action against a
certain man. He placed all the facts of
the case before the lawyer, who, after
he had finished, told him that he had a
very good case to bring up, and would
undoubtedly win.
“ Ah. weel,” replied the Scot, ” I’ll no
be taking action, then.”
Why not? ” asked the lawyer.
“ Weel, d'ye ken, it’s ma opponent's
case I've laid before ye! ”

Io JOHN C. WATSON, Faculty Advisor,

I he 1923 VERDICT Board takes this oppor-

One Hundred Seventy-twoCharge to the Jury
■«
(6rtillrmrn of thp 3iwrtt
The labors of counsel are over. You are about to
retire to deliberate upon THE VERDICT, for you are
the sole judges of the facts—and the Year Book.
You have heard all the evidence in the case, and,
those among you who have labored through it to this
point are to be commended for your patience and your
school spirit.
I charge you, gentlemen, that if you find therein
glaring sins of omission or commission, you may con-
sider in mitigation thereof the strenuous efforts of
counsel to achieve and to surpass,—if you should find
such to be the fact. And I charge you that you must
carefully weigh the evidence in deliberating upon THE
VERDICT, and if the scales tip—tip they ever so slightly
—in favor of THE VERDICT board, then, gentlemen,
you must find for THE VERDICT board; but if they
tip—tip they ever so slightly—in favor of the several de-
fendants in this case, then you must find for the defen-
dants. But if, on the other hand, gentlemen, the scales
hang in the balance, then this case must come up before
this tribunal at the next term—in 1924.

One Hundred Seventy-sixThe initials of a friend
You will find these letters on many tools by which
electricity works. They are on great generators
used by electric light and power companies; and
on lamps that light millions of homes.
They are on big motors that pull railway trains;
and on tiny motors that make hard housework
easy.
By such tools electricity dispels the dark and lifts
heavy burdens from human shoulders. Hence the
letters G-E are more than a trademark. They are
an emblem of service'—the initials of a friend.
