t X . 6 i E Torts and Reiorls 'Member the time three years ago when we bashfully and quietly matricu- lated at 305 Lake View Building? Everything was new and strange. The first year we industriously waded through the fundamental subjects of the law. When we entered our junior year, we had made many life-long friends, had learned how to study to get by, and our beloved teacher, Mr. Guernsey, had issued his annual warning of the traps and pitfalls of real property, evidence, etc., in the second year. The third year found us comfortably situated in our new home. Of course, being Seniors, we had to dignify the place. And now, fellows, we're through. Wally ' O'Brien and Osk Strom are seriously considering going into the pugilistic class in order to make expenses until they get established. Kid Sproger has consented to be their trainer. During the entire three years, Bernie Garner has maintained his position as the highflyer, of the class. Whenever the air gets too thick and hot for him, he borrows an aeroplane and drifts along on the cloud banks. T Dick Baker, the mascot of the class, sure can grow a mean mustache. But, Dick, it is sapping all the life away from your hair. Soon it will be too late for Herpicidef' The Chicago T 81 T is now so firmly established by the addition to its staff of such capable men as Tom Smullin, our quiet friend Modjeska, jack Dillon, and Wally O'Brien, that the state will undoubtedly permit it to reduce its reserves. . The class is mighty proud of the Misses Corcoran, johnson, Larson and Solon, who stuck it out for the three years. More so. because they are real good scouts with a twinkle in their eyes and not just grinds. When it comes to gray matter they top the class. - V Wonder if we'll find Michalak calling the roll up yonder ? Be a good boy, 'Mike, we want to hear your voice again. e The gentleman of the class-our good friend Art Vlfatson-maintains that passing the ,Bar in july means an awful lot to him. p Jennings and Jurewicz believe that every man should have a most liberal education. They say that their Senior year has made a graphic impression on their cerebellums which will always bring backpmemories of dear old Kent. Don't forget, fellows, we are now alumni and must support Kent athletics. . Miss Scheiner's cheerful voice and smile, and Mr. Grover's stub cigar are synonymous with Kent 192 s Page 147

THE I I The model student and good fellow of the Senior class, Bill James, should be an inspiration to all of us. p Abe Cohn, the most bashful and retiring student of the class, has pro- duced more declarations and answers in moot court than all the other stu- dents in the class put together, and yet had but two cases in which he actively acted as attorney. You should form a law partnership with that undaunted orator, Leo Rice. Gee whiz, how the money'd roll in. Ballantyne K Gubbins-the inspiration of the famous B-G shops-always manage to sandwich in a little fun with their studies. ' Handsome john Burita just couldn't wait until the July Bar like the rest of us, but had to try his luck last March. Of course he passed. Is ready, willing and able to aid in obtaining a certificate of good moral character for any of his classmates. N A Kennedy and Buck always sat in the back row so that Kennedy! could pass the book to Buck and Euck could pass the buck to the prof. Xvonderful system, we calls it. g V I Funny thing about Kent. When you start at the bottom you are at the top, and when you finish at the top you're at the bottom. Of course, There's a reason -the Seniors never would get to class if they had four flights of stairs to climb. ' t Although Hill has yet to find the road that is too high to climb. Fay is tickled pink because school days are over. He now can work twenty-four hours a day without interruption. For the past three years he has 'had to sacrifice three hours a night of his precious time. Ralph Duvall has dedicated his life to educating people to use linoleum instead of carpets. He is sacrificing his life in this way in order that small boys will never have the hardships to endure that he had when he beat his mother's carpets under the hot Utah sun. Long and Ludwigs flnong and Longerj have been two good students and faithful supporters of the Senior Class. , just as we were preparing these comments we heard the door slam and turned around in time to see Gubbins come and go. -Ladies and gentlemen, picture to yourself Mr. Ross G. McClure, the only man who ever injected. a thirty-three thousand volt current into the hard- ened arteries of absque hoc and lived to tell the tale. And then we ,must picture Brother, Quigley journeying from the wicked streets of New York that he might sojourn in quiet and comfort in Berwyn while he finishes his law course. r ' l gg Page 149
