The promise that it would be a 'ften dollar affair for three dollars was amply fulfilled, and if the fellows hadn't had a good QU square meal since thev matriculated, they got it that night. The guests of honor were Assistant Dean Fegan, Professors Keigwin, Tooke and De Sloovere, and Senator XValsh of Massachusetts. Assistant Dean Vegan delivered some keen phi- losophy on 'flfxaminationsf' 4 l A GROUNOH KICK dimmed by the close proximity of those fateful exams, will stay with most of us forever: and in the days to come some of us, while reminiscing, will tell of this night which made a target for some of the future classes to shoot at when they put on their smokers. Those dark and gloomy days in February didn't prove quite so dark or gloomy as most of us be- lieved, and while all of us gave a sigh of relief when it was announced that we had made the grade, we were more than repaid in the elation we felt that we had suc- cessfully gotten over the first obstacle and were now on our way to becoming oracles of the law. To Professors Keigwin, Tooke and De Sloovere we respectfully extend our heartfelt thanks for their pains- taking efforts in pulling us through the many rapids of law which beset us on all sides and threatened to capsize our frail bark in our pursuit of legal knowledge.

K of the class to normalcy was remarkable after such a hectic election. Appoint- ment of a Constitutional Committee was the first official act of the new president. This committee was headed by that future great ffjakea Hulitt, who was ably assisted in formulating the laws governing the class by Dan McKenna, Leo Considine, Harry Freeman and Harry La Brum. An innovation, instituted by President XValsh, was the appointment of a XVelfare Committee to look after the welfare of the members of the class. Howard Vilsack of Pittsburgh, headed the committee with Maurice' Lyons of Massa- chusetts, and Pat Corrigan of Cleveland, Ohio, as his assistants. The work of the committee, and its willing and ready assistance to the needy and such of the class is much to be commended, and it is hoped that the new classes coming into Georgetown will follow the precedent established by the Morn- ing Law Class of IQ25. To Williaiii Hope, Texas, Joe Spaninger, Kentucky, James Harper and VVilliam F. Manning, devolved the duty of finding ways and means of putting the class on a sound financial basis. Pie it said that they represent some of the biggest men in the class, and Vtfalsh is to be commended in picking out these men for the greatest and hardest job in the class. They are all men of calibre and they put their job over in great style. The Executive Committee, with John M. Fadden of Scranton, Pa., Joseph McGraw of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Pat'i Carr of XVyomingg E. joseph Brown of Indiana, James Cook of Massachusetts, and the officers o-f the. class, after pondering deeply over the question of holding a 'fprom for the Morning Class, decided in the negative, in so far as the class alone was con- cerned and, after some debate on the question, finally agreed to throw our lot in with that of the Evening Class. Some deliberation on the question of who would make the best man to head such an important committee was needed, and, as' a result, joe McGraw of Tulsa, Oklahoma, who has the reputation among his classmates of doing big things, was appointed chairman. In order to give the fellows something that they could remember during the long, dreary days of Lent, and with Pye McGrath as the head of the committee to do something that would make the fellows take notice, a smoker was planned, the like of which was never held before within the knowledge of the oldest residents of Georgetown University. The committee consisted of McGrath, chairman, Maurice Lyons, XVilliam Boyle and Hubert King. The affair was held at Harvey's, just four days before the fateful exams., and to say it was a success is putting it lightly. Pye McGrath, the cactus king, in his position as chairman of the committee, scoured the city, State and Union for talent that would please the eyes and minds of professors and 'Vi' '-- he X ' -3 :EF --Ziggy een: -'-2:-,A Y-'fizzizg :Etta ':::1-e ' '- fx-' - is s -- 1-s - Q .- R 'YM ggi sw? is ss E SX st' ki isis? , X? ..:..::1:1'E ......
