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

Q E F THE - E , E Unlike the Biblical hero, our Sampson's strength lies in his mind rather than in his limbs. Here! Here! Here! Here! This was all that Michalak heard in his sleep for the first three weeks after he started to call the roll. Something should be done about procuring -a Carnegie Medal for this boy. I Boy, page Miss Solon, She is going to lecture us on what a lawyer should be and how she intends to live up to her name. One of the outstanding events of our school career was the evening when judge Kavanagh called on Mr. Torm, and bless us, if Arthur Torme did not respond to this misnomer, this last to his undying credit. ' T Buck, a back-east warrier, claims that he would rather be with those at the rear in order that he may save those in front. Perhaps there is some merit in his contention. - as On the other hand, we have never been able to fathom Dick Baker's preference for a chair in the back row. A Were it not for the fact that the young man has been mentioned else- where in this volume, we should like to comment at length on the meta- morphosis of Kid Sproger. This has been done by us and we shall only pass briefly, on the fact that within the year he should reach grade A in the mustache competition. We can never forget the first time that Terry drove us wild with clinking coins in his trousers' pocket while making a recitation. Even those directly behind him were unable to get the benefit of his remarks, but no kind of per- suasion would induce that boy to refrain from such a habit. A good deal of grass has grown since the day when Johnny Setecka was ushered into the class on the arm of his fond parent, and we have seen this boy emerge from his status as a' comparatively unknown youngman to that of a bustling younglaw clerk who liddles around the Municipal Court and makes hay whether the sun shines or not. ' Another boy who has undergone a great change is George Engh. George came to us about three years ago as a rather quiet young chap. Now we have him around in a cast-iron derby and talking loudly of absque hoc and other dog latin. George, why have you done this? Among those prominent on the benches of the last row during our sessions has been Eleanor Larson. This has been regretted by all, as we would like to see so charming a young lady as Eleanor in the front row. Our first impression on hearing K. G. Meyer's name called was that he was a Cagey bird, but we have since learned that he is so in point of initials only. . u 1925 or N? 4 ,X. ref? Page 151
