SOPHOMORES, LAW Old St. Xavier wilt be proud, some day, of the Law Class of ,26. This prophecy is founded upon the splendid spirit which animates this body whose laudable ambi- tions are to follow in the path of Blackstone. It is well to note the class still retains almost the entire membership which began the course of studies in late September, 1922. The first year of our introduction to some of the fundamental principles of law was no easy task. However, under the able tutelage of our professors we were safely initiated into such subjects as Contracts, Torts and Criminal Law. Returning in 1923, we resumed our studies with more confidence than the previous year. We were again fortunate in securing well-known lawyers as instructors, whose practical experiences were imparted to us in a way which made our studies enjoyable as well as educational. Coupled with our studies were many moot trials and socials. The Dance, given by the Jurists, during the Christmas Holidays, was a very pleasing aEair, even though the kickii was missing from the punch. We have found law an interesting study and shall continue it for two more years. Page N imtyhn-ghl

SENIORS, LAW The class of ,24, under the able leadership of its president, Mike Brearton, can justly be proud of its activities during the scholastic year ,23-24. It has accom- plished wonders in the development of class spirit, the need of which is so evident at St. Xavier. The support given all St. Xavier activities by the nattorneys is their diary of duties well done. When the moleskln warriors of the llBlue and Whitell donned their uniforms, the Senior attendance at the games was highly commendable. And the attendance at llX basketball games was merely a repetition of that at the football games. The Bowling Team, while it did not annex any trophies, did honor to the class by being generous in victory and glorious in defeat. Fresh from a victory over Mike Hellenthal's llMicksfl it succumbed to the superior play of the Alumni Team, being saved from disgrace only by the stellar work of its anchor man, Boots Buzek. Through the Financial assistance and the encouragement afforded the Committee by the class of 14-, the dance given at the llPierouette,l by the Jurists was made possible. Paige N inety-Jewn

FRESHMEN, LAW The Freshmen of today are the lawyers of tomorroxW is a quotation that could be taken from almost anybody. Granting the truth of the quotation it is indeed with a feeling of utmost confidence that one surveys the Freshman class of ,23324. Again and again during the course of the year the class has been commended by the professors for its sincerity, interest, and enthusiasm. The nths th, 01' the Freshman class should undoubtedly include the name of each and every member of the class and we sincerely regret that our allotted space will not permit the cxtoIling of the qualities of each and every one. However, chivalry prompts, nay, commands that we recognize the fact that our charming co-eds, besides the qualities already mentioned, lend comeliness, color, and inspira- tion to this unusually favored class. Finally let us pay tribute to our professors, those highminded, self-sacriiicing, honorable gentlemen who make St. Xavierts Law School, not only possible, but one of the best in the land. Messrs. Bell, Conway, Geisler, Gordon, Moorman, and Samuels, we thank you and wish you wel-J, Page Nindy-nim
