In numbers there was strength, so we were hot molested by the angry; throng of uppe1 c'lassmen. The F reshmen early signal- izecl themselves by acting as can- noh fodder for the Vanity Foot- ball team.

Eighteen The line. of demarcation between Junior class and the lower classes is very clearly defined, due to the fact that the study of philosophy begins. With philos- ophy the student begins to feel that he is really mentally sprouting, and is taking on a truly collegiate aspect. The Juniors of '22 began with the usual election of a president. This hon- orable distinction fell to Jerome J. Cor- bett. Results have shown that the class made no mistake in its choice. The ths Who of Junior class should undoubtedly include the name of each and every member of the class. The sturdy athletes chose for their football leader modest Lou Eberts. And what a captain he proved to be, oh, boy! Then there 'are Yob Cushing. uIrv Hart, Billy Bechtold, and Babe Bartlett.

Twenty ' THE XA VERIAN NEWS Our dreams are about to become a reality. A few yehi'smago. we began . our journey up the steep and devious ways of the mountain of legal lore and precedent with heartquakes and trepidation. At times our difliculties and troubles hovereclabove us like dark , and foreboding clouds ob- scuring our vision. There haile been many pitfalls, and some of us have been lost on the way. . Our Junior year has passed; we have worked and - fought Kanicl played and libeen, very withal. ' But now we near the last stage of our journey, success is within our grasp, and we must turn our faces forward and accept the re- sponsibilities encumbent up- on those who are second only to; the grateful recipi- ents of the coveted LLB. Remembering that we shall not pass this way again. let us gain for purselves' and give to others the greatest and best that this course affords.
