Our ranks had gy? slightly decreased, but those who remained were tried and true. ALC., Metgot under way by having our first class meeting and nominating several men for each class ottice. Then followed a week of strenuous campaigning and lobbying, after which followed the regular election. lt was a heated contest. mud slinging prevailed, tempers were lost, and enemies were made. The meeting was held behind Closed doors, noses counted, and votes challenged. .Xfter the roar of guns had died away, and the smoke had settled, it was discovered that Casler was to head the class as President, Hodge as Yice-President, Schwemler as Treasurer, and Mclnally as Secretary. We had just nicely got under way when Eddie Scott, representing the class as a body, tiled a hill before l-lonorable Raymond E. Yan Sickle for a divorce from the Detroit College of Law. .Xfter the bill was tiled, .Xttorney Scott refused to proceed with the case until the plaintiff could raise sufficient funds to pay him a retainer's fee. .Xt the present writing the plaintiff has been unable to do so and has therefore been compelled to live with the defend- ant and will continue to do so until such times as such funds shall be forth- coming. The next class function was the .-Xnnual hlunior Faculty Smoker. This was held on Friday, the thirteenth of February, in the French Room of the TVolverine Hotel. The .lunior Day and Night classes 'of '31 were well repre- sented. l Page Seventy three

FORUM The purpose of this class function was to promote a better social contact and understanding between the two junior classes and the results proved that our plans were successful. XYe were honored by the presence of Dean Krichbaum, Professor Roberts. Professor Yan Sickle, and Professor Drexilius, who acted as toastmasters of the evening. The speeches given by the guests, though short, were very interesting and educational and, of course, smattered with humor. High class entertainment was obtained. and judging from the hand given to the entertainers by the students, they certainly displayed their talent well. Never yet has any class function had as large a turn-out of students as attended the junior Faculty Smoker, and by unanimous consent it was voted a huge success. It is the desire of the officers and students of the junior Class that the establishment of this social precedent will be followed by the succeeding classes and thus making the Faculty Smoker an annual affair. Then followed the semester exams, and after a brief pause we started back full speed ahead for the last semester of our junior year. The next event was a -lunior Day and Night Class Dinner Dance. engineered by john Dollar and his able assistants, at the Oriole Terrace on March 12. l95O. All classes were well represented, in fact, the number that came exceeded the expectations and taxed the capacity of the private dining room engaged for the occasion. After enough furniture had been moved in to seat the sixty-hve couples who were present. a special dinner was served. Between courses there was dancing in the main dining room. Somewhere between the salad and the coffee the guests of honor were briefly introduced and as briefly responded. judge Homer Ferguson and Dean lirichbaum were genial. even though brief. .-X few more after-dinner speakers of their judgment and ability are needed quite as much in this country as Thomas Marshalls famous good live-cent cigar. Dinner over. most of the guests took up dancing seriously. Ira Hayes is said to have taken to dancing in a big way. The Dean had a ringside seat and smiled contentedly at the dancers through a blue haze of cigar smoke. The embryo politicians, meantine, had maneuvered judge Ferguson into a corner and went joyously to work on the judicial system. His Honor defended the system valiantly. Back at the speakers' table. Mrs. Ferguson was making conversation more attractive than dancing and was being ably assisted by Mrs. XYetmore and Miss Mooney. . ' There was a general adjournment to the main dining room to see the six acts of vaudeville, and as no member of the party attempted to imitate the acrobats, there were no casualties. Slowly, reluctantly. the party broke up and two by two went home. john Dollar had to stay and meet the bad news. He left after the second show. ransomed his overcoat. and went directly to work. We are anxiously awaiting the expiration of this semester's hard labor, when we will enter upon the home stretch of the four-mile track at Detroit College of Law. Page Seventy- four
