Hurley, jr. JUNIOR HISTORY As the shadow of yesteryear gathers on the horizon to beckon to its fold the school year 1959-40, we, the junior Class of Columbus University, look back upon the incidents of our passage thus far with satisfaction, and with the hope and expectation that the remainder of our voyage will provide additional interesting experiences, and bring to a successful culmination our pursuit of the study of law, Our voyage to the present time has been pleasant and we have weathered both calm and squall alike. We gathered together as juniors for the first time on September 18, 1959, the largest junior Class in the history of Columbus University. Our class was divided into four sections, with classes being held in the main building and the junior College building. That dazed and slightly bewildered expression worn by Section Two students, was due to the fact that they had returned to school, after a glorious extended vacation of three weeks. They were the students who started their Freshman studies in january, 1959, and kept john,' company during the hot summer months. They can tell you that surprising as it may seem, Professor Kane can maintain a dignified appearance even in his shirt sleeves. The first week of school was devoted to learning to pronounce Koenigsberger'I, greeting old friends and making new ones, and getting back into the habit of studying. Between-class forums were held on the subjects of vacations, professors, and sueh general conversation as How did you make out in Torts? , What did Conway give you? , and Do you understand anything about this negotiable instrument busie ness?', Before the month of September was over, Kane had taught us the difference between a springing and shifting use, Professor Lodge had dclved into the intricacies of Bankruptcy, and Lionel Barrymore Fitzpatrick had fascinated us with his dramatilation of the subject of Evidence . The first event of the social season was our junior Prom, held at the Raleigh Hotel on December 2. 1939, with De Chastain and His Penguins furnishing the music. To say we all had a swell time and enjoyed ourselves to the limit would be putting it mildly. Before we realized it the Christmas holidays were upon us, and as Confucius might have said, If Christmas come, can exams be far behind? The old boy was right, for they came, and soon, and furious! lt was at this point of our voyage that the passage became rough and diflicult, but though the good ship lurched and rocked and swayed it brought us through with a minimum of casualties. Then came that long looked for and perhaps much dreaded day: the postman rang twice , and there were our first semester grades. W'itIi the halfway point be- hind us, we took a new lease on life, for after all had not Dean Fitzpatrick written us that cheerful letter just before exams informing us that we would find the first semester of the junior year the most difficult in law school? The best thing about mid-term exams was the beer party given by one junior section when the last exams booklet had been handed in. The party was held at the New Colonial Hotel, with music by one of our better known niekelodeons, and beer by the pitcher. The credit for arranging this party goes to Frank Callahan, who made all the arrangements, did all the work, and drank none of the beer. The junior Class was proud that the Hnalists from the Law School in Sigma Delta Kappa's quest for the Sweetheart of Columbus University were both juniors. Madelyn Rinehart, Section Une, was selected Sweetheart and Catherine Allen, Section Two, was runner-up. We were also proud of our own Lou Hayman's performance on the Boxing Team this year. Buddy Lyon, because of illness, was unable to box this year but looks good for next boxing season. XVith the second semester of our junior year nearly over, now, more than ever do we realive that the hours we have spent at Columbus have HOL been wasted. XVe are looking forward to a well earned summer vacation and then September, when, as Seniors, we shall start on the last third of our journey across to the beckoning shores of Commencement. Heave ho, Shipmates! Avast there swabs-bear down-there's work to be done and all is not clear sailing ahead.
