is eriuifaitsar P JD P2 P P A e History of the Senior Class The Senior Class first met in the Criminal Court Room of the Hamilton County Court I-Iouse on a September evening in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty- six as freshmen, green in the realm of law but with great ambitions. After a few nights of getting acquainted we decided to organize which resulted in the election of the following officers: Cameron Ralston, Presidentg Richard H. Woodward, Vice-Presidentg Horace Boydston, Secretaryg Ralph A. Snow, Treasurer and Lee Cgliig Boyl McCulley, Sergeant-at-Arms. Our first subjects of f'Elements of Law and Domestic Relations were taught by Pro- fessors W. A. McClure and Gus. A. Wood, jr., respectively. Among other things which we remember in our Domestic Relation class was the question asked by Guerrant, what per- centage of the common law is now in use? The response being how high is up. On Tuesday night for the first half of the year we had some very good speeches delivered to us by our fellow classmates in the study of Public Speaking, which course was concluded by Professor Louis F. Snow. The remaining Thursday nights of the year we served as material in complainants defendants and star witnesses for the Seniors in Moot Court under judge Gus A. Wood, Jr. Our next subject was Torts taught by our Dean Judge Swaney in which we learned about horse trading, take your hands out of your pockets, stand straight and speak like a lawyer and last but not least about nice fat fees. Professor Roy McClure instilled in us the elements and importance of contracts but we never did know whether or not he was going to wear his glasses. Professor j. B. Frazier, Ir. instructed us on how to become Criminal Lawyers and Pro- Iessor Frank S. Darwin instructed us on Personal property. This closed our first year. On September 22nd we again assembled with the upper classmen and the incoming freshmen to listen to our illustrious Dean and other members of the faculty. The next even- ing we assembled in the Circuit Court Room to resume our studies. We organized and elected W. R. Williams, Presidentg Stanton Graves, Vice-President, John J. Lively, Jr., Secretary: Horace Boydston, Treasurer and G. M. Tuck, Bailiff. We studied Private Corporations under Professor Joe Roberts, Bills, Notes and Checks under Pro- fessor Moore, Partnerships under Professor joe Frassrand, Public Corporation and Prohibition under Professor Frank Carden, Professor Clifford Curry instructed us in Common Law Plead- ing. We were instructed also by Professors W. A. McClure and Estes Kefauver all of which we enjoyed. 1 , During the year we found that Mr. Farmer, one of our members, had contracted the malady of matrirnony and we all wished him a happy future. Then came another eventful evening in the fall of 1928, when the Law School convened again. But this time it had a greater significance to us for it marked the final lap in our tortuous journey toward a degree. We assumed the mien of dignfied Seniors with more or less success, and though quite a few faces were missing from our number, there shone the light of victory in the eyes of the ones remaining for the reward of our fight which was now just over the horizon, almost within our grasp. With Graves as President, Boydston, Vice-President, G. M. fMunsyJ Tuck, Secretary and Treasurer and McCulley, Bailiff we started things with a bang. Dean judge Swaney successfully piloted us through Constitutional Law, while Professor Joe Frassrand assumed command, equally successful, in Equity Pleading and Practice. The McClure Brothers, those doughty warriors in legal warfare, showed us how to properly make Wills and dispose of Real Property, while in our Moot Court sessions, real talent was revealed. This year another of our beloved members became a victim to matrimony, that in Mr. C. G. Murdock. This is a history, in few words of three years of hard work and great determination, upon which we may look back upon in idle moments with deserved pride and joy. But the future still beckons, and out there somewhere in the great Tomorrow, the real victory awaits. To each man of us 'there is handed the torch of Truth and Knowledge. May we guard it carefully, and by so doing reap our full reward. PAGE 38 .A F' - JL Q .. 2,492 4.,,,.,..,.---. .J sag, ---.
