7 'av 9? ll' T Y ,,, THE OVERSEXTETTE Institutionalization of the shower-room singing, which reverberates thru the inner court-yard so often in the fall and spring took place in the spring of 1948 with the emergence of the Law School Oversextette, composed of about twelve men singing about four parts - simultaneously. The group now takes its place among other famous Yale singing organizations, consenting to render a few songs during the course of Student Association dances - but only after much strenuous urging on the part of dance committees. Since its humble origin, growing from a mere quartet formed over a few brews at George and Harry's, the group has made its fame known to as diverse institutions as Vassar and Smith and other whistle stops on the girls' college prom circuit. The Oversextette under the guidance of Concertmaster Bjorge still carries on the finest traditions of the barbershop quartet, only slightly sullied by the demands of the public.

XXX M LEGAL AID ASSOCIATIO because it is the only organization which, by hook or crook, manages to offer up real live people to be sacrificed on the alter of legal education. The better to carry out this scheme, the Association deployed it's forces, sending its operatives into every legal field. One large contingent spent the year romping around in their newly redecorated Municipal Legal Aid Bureau. Some of the older hands were so - 6 taken aback by all the new glitter and glamour - and by the fact that the age of Cooneyism had really passed - that they wandered about aimlessly and were mistaken for clients by JN n 1 L f' f The popularity of the Association's activities continued apace this year - largely L lf 1, iw N N .K Q some of the bright-eyed newcomers.

A specially trained cadre took over the difficult task of properly confusing persons from surrounding areas who had the affrontery to pester the Association with requests for memos. Brandeis briefs were promptly whipped up for all requests, the highlight of the season being a monumental memo on artificial insemination.

- -nf THE YALE LAW REPORTER Camera shy to the end, and replaced because of the need to fill up space by our man Hoflmans composite of the staff, we pay homage to the young ladies and gentlemen who shuffled this yearbook into its present, haphazard form. They labored to include in these pages all thats immaterial, irrelevant and incompetent in the abnormality of law school life. So carefully have these reporters searched into each arcanum of student life that, these pages reflect only the epistemic correlates of all that's transcendental, The Reporter Staff deserves endless glory for here mating deathless prose with death-like image.
