mxox (Mass |3r£gtfrmfs (illtasaijr As the curtain rings down on the class of 1942, I appreciate this opportunity afforded me to say farewell to a grand class, one that has made its mark which will be recorded in the annals of history to take its place among the many fine classes that have preceded us at National University. In saying farewell, if my wishes hold true, it will be only as a group and never individually. Space does not permit me to tell you how grateful I am, but I do want to thank you sincerely for my election as president and tell you it has been an extreme pleasure working with you throughout the year as we have battled toward our goal — graduation — , many of us against overwhelming odds, but we have won — it’s the American in us — . To those of you who have expended ceaseless efforts in class activities and in the publication of this book, I wish to dedicate this message and to the class of 1942, the best of luck in passing the bar, wherever and whenever that may be and to furthermore wish you all of the grand things in life which you so richly deserve. I would not have wanted to have been president of a better class, and class- mates , in closing, please allow me to leave this thought with you “Let us always give the world the best we have and the best will surely come back to us.” Sincerely, FLETCHER D. MITCHELL, JR.

HARRY JOHN AHERN Washington, D. C. Harry grew up in the District, attended Gonzaga College, and thence to National University, with the intention of following his father’s footsteps. He received his LL.B. in March and is now serving his “Uncle” as an officer in the U. S. Naval Reserves. WILLIAM CHARLES AILLES Ironton, Ohio Bill covers the alphabet — from OHIO to FBI and expects to use his law there. Most painful memory is paying tuition. Favorite persons — the entire faculty. IDA BRIGHT ALS Louisville, Kentucky Ida mowed down her A.B. degree in the Blue Grass country at the University of Kentucky and also graduated from the Lewis Hotel Training School. She works with the U. S. Board of. Tax Appeals, and we predict that she will change that “with to “on”. Her “res ipsa loquitur” hobby is music. Ida has, in fact and in law, admired all of our distinguished faculty. Kapoa Beta Pi Cy Pres Club
