EDWARD L. GODFREY ,I'Rov1uENt'e, R. I. Eddie Treasurer, Rhonlc Island State Vlnb He that hath kuozolrdgc sparctli his words Lo-here is one of our quiet and reserved fellows of the class who hails from up North. After two years of Civil Engineering at Rhode Island State College, Eddie concluded that Law was to be his field of endeavor, so down to Georgetown he came. During his stay with us he has made many fast friends through his good fellowship and hiis loyalty to the class social events. His persistent and con- sistent efforts in his work have won him a place among the honor men of the class. Success is sure to follow Ed if he continues the pace he has set. JACK M. GOLDSMITH, fb A Sioux CITY, Iowa Kflackll. Senior Prom Committee A step in thc right nay, 'is a Imp to success From the corn belt came -lack, with a trunk full of ambition, and an equal amount of energy, which together with a real natural ability, will enable him to return to his native State a,f1nished product in the learning of the law. Jack found time in between to race his little Ford Coupe up and down F Street, and we might mention he was sometimes accompanied by a companion who made us envy Jack. Very shortly we expect to hear of ja,ck's great victories, in legal argument. s. R. GOLIBART, JR. WASHINGTON, D. C. MSF, KKGOlly!Y Smoker Committee KD 135 The cautious seldom ere VVashington claims Simon as its own. His staunch and sterling qualities 'have endeared him to Faculty and class-mates, alike. His fund of knowledge is in- exhaustable, his wit, keen and ready, and his de- meanor both courteous and pleasing. After receiv- ing the degree of Bachelor of Arts from Mount Saint Mary's College of Emmitsburg, Maryland, he deter- mined that the study of Law was essential to a com- plete and successful career. Upon this determination, Simon repaired to the Halls of Georgetown and labored incessantly and painstakingly for the culmina- tion of his purpose. He was not without thoughts, however, for the glory and success of his Alma Mater and Class of 1923, and we found him in all activities. Success to you, friend, V. I

Joe The fl'1'ClItfS llmiz lzusf, gzxzfvjvlc llzvm in thy livuris willz hooks of stun! joe has been one of the class stand-bys from the time of our inception as a class. Joes quiet de- meanor won for him a host of friends. Never has he been found wanting in recitation or examination, and always did we find him exacting, to the minutest detail, when it came his turn to expound the law. Aloe took his work in school, a,s serious, as he took 'his daily lifeg that is why he must be. the same big suc- cess, when he goes out to make for himself a name worthy of his efforts. AXVe were proud of Joe in class: we shall be prouder still when we hear of his legal conquests. WILLIAM T. GARTLAND MANCHESTER S DAK Heel 'fTwo-gun This blond gentleman drifted into our midst from one of the mid-western Universities, to complete his final studies under the banner of the blue and gray. From the wind-swept prairies of the Dakotas, he has filled our ears with tales and stories of the melo- dramatic life associated with the land of his domicile. A four-dav blizzard: the barking' of a coyoteg a few scattered Indian tribes and the Little Rig Horn, give 'iHeel', food for dramatic story telling. After he gets his sheepskin, we expect to see '4Two-gun hot- foot it back to settle some old land patents-or pos- sibly serve on the Boundary Commission. And he has mastered the law. Our best wishes go with him. RODGER D. GESSFORD VVASHINGTON, D. C. Gessl' Hamilton Law Club HDfff'lC1lIf1.CS arf' flzfngs that short' rvlzut 111011 arc Gessford is one of those hard-working men who always seems to have time to add to his varied repertoire of pursuits a new and strenuous accomp- lishment. Besides pursuing his legal studies with dogged persistance, he is a budding patent attorney, an editor, an aquatic champion and a recent benedict. The District of Columbia may well be proud of Rodger now, and as for the future- time will prove our faith.
