BOARD OF GOVERNORS SECTION I SECTION 2 SIZCTION 3 Claire Burke Michael Doyle Kathleen Clevenger David Pitcher Mary Gay Williarn Baldwin SECTION 4 SIALCTION 5 Maybelle j. Blauer Imogene Hawks Katherine Grace joseph Flynn When Dean Fitzpatrick addressed our Freshman Class on the night of September 18, 1939, he spoke to five hundred and thirty entering Freshmen, one of the largest classes in the history of Columbus University. But aside from our unusual number, we were a typical Freshman Class. We represented the same variety in social background and mental capabilities as our predecessors, were imbued with the same wild-eyed enthu- siasm and visionary ambition characteristic of all Hrst-year law students. After three weeks of Cooke v. Oxley, estoppel, and possession - enthusiasm and optimism sank to an all-time low. Scarcely had we stepped across the welcome on the threshold when the full impact of the law and its phraseology fell upon us: How would a reasonably prudent man respond under the same or similar circumstances?,' f'What is possession?,' Law became a new diet, a new form of subconscious sleep, a new topic for conversation. We were engulfed with the gems of justice until our very breath was of the essence of jurisprudence-our dreams were nightmares of legal monstrosities. The monotony of court opinions was relieved somewhat by class elections, a few social events, and trivial chatter between classes. The class was composed of four sec- tions, and a Board of Governors comprising the following representatives was elected: Claire Burke, David Pitcher, Michael Doyle, Mary Gay, Kathleen Clevenger, William C- Baldwin, Maybelle Blauer, and Katherine Grace. Restrained by typical Freshman bewilderment, our social efforts were slow at first, but 'ere long Section III led off with a party at Holbrook Farms. Soon, Sections II and V followed suit with a gay fiesta at the Hayloft, and, by the night of the Columbus Freshman Prom, our social orientation was complete. Noteworthy among the outstanding accomplishments of the year was the composi- tion of a new Columbus University school song, by Robert Berman, Senior Class Presi- dent in collaboration with our own William C. Baldwin, who made the arrangement. But proud though we were of our new anthem, all too soon we were singing the blues when mid-terms rolled around. At mid-year our class was augmented by a new section, recruits to fill the ranks depleted by those few who had fallen by the wayside. This new group and the original four sections, minus scattered casualties, finished out the year. The representatives elected from the new Section V were Imogene Hawks, and Joseph Flynn. Looking back over our first year in law school, our experiences and accomplishments, we realize the significance of the new world to which we have been introduced. t'Coke no longer singularly refers to a good chaser that can be drunk ,ber 50. King's Bench now means more than just a ringside seat reserved for royalty at a Cambridge- Oxford cricket match. In brief, we are no longer Freshmen! We only hope that we can carry on our Junior year with as much success as the one we have just completed.
