THE JUNIOR PROM The annual Junior Prom has, in the fwe years since it was inaugurated by the class of ,21, advanced to the point where it is looked forward to by the entire fol- lowing of St. Xavier Coliege. It has come to be the social function of the Catholic year; the meeting place of the older alumni; the dancing place of the young. The students, especially the upperclassmen, have grown to be very proud of this affair and feel privileged and are grateful when they are given permission to hold it In fact they have, through the passing years, acquired so much pride in it, that they take it as a personaf duty to see that nothing untoward occurs during the festivities. The highest praise that can be given a college activity, we think, is given when that activity is said to be a typical St Xavier function. The last Prom, given by the Junior Class in honor of the departing Seniors of the Arts College, was undoubt- edly a typical St. Xavier function. It was held in the Louis XVI ballroom of the Simon Hotel, on the first of February, this year. The hall, naturally beautiful because of its mural paintings, was made doubly so by the drapings of Blue and White, the College colors. The music, furnished by a local orchestra, was of such quality as to satisfy even the most exacting of classicists. The favors given were silver bracelets for the ladiest The grand march, probably the largest seen in Cin- cinnati of late years, was led by Mrt Joseph King, president of the Senior Class. About four hundred couples participated in it, and the leader was put to it to fmd space wherein to manoeuver his charges. The committee wishes to thank the patrons and patronesses, the use of whose names guaranteed success even before the dance was started. It is needless to say that the College Library will prosper materially in the homing year, for its reserve fund was augmented by a check of no mean proportions - the profits from the Prom. The committees were the following: Advisory: Peter J. McCarthy, JL; Thomas J. Bali; Richard Mt Marnell. Arrangements: Phil. Jt Kennedy; J. Harry Moore; J. Howard Geerin; John C. Dacey; William G. Knecht. Page 01:: Hundred Forty

- THE JURIST SOCIETY Believing in the saying that itAII work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. and having no tendency whatever toward dullness, the law students, four years ago, organized the Jurist Society. At its inception the primary purpose of the society was to furnish recreation and diversion for its members, but since then the associa- tion has served for the advancement of many educational and philanthropic objects. - It is refreshing to glance back at the first meetings we attended, listening to John Doyle. John Rogers, A1 Weimcr and Joe Bird wrangling over some triHing detail simply for the sake of argument. Tom Gallagher resembled more a referee at a prize fight than a president of an organization composed of future legal luminaries. The freshmen, realizing his predicament and sympathizing with him, presented him with a steel gavel. The only way this gavel could have been used effectively to silence any member of that crowd would have been for Tom to throw it at him. Much to the regret of the lower classmen, this amusement feature was lost by graduation and last year the meetings were of a less turbulent nature, debates and mock trials being the most important diversions. It is worthy of comment that the late Judge Geoghegan honored the Jurists by presiding at their mock trial a few months before his death. Robert C. Thorburn was chosen as president this year and has inaugurated many novel aEairs. The first dance of the Jurists, of which he was chairman, was wel- comed so enthusiastically and proved so successful that arrangements are under way for another to be held in the near future. I The Jurist Society has advanced with rapid strides during the comparatively. short time of its existence and the increasing enthusiasm and interest of the frosh and sophs, assures the future welfare and continuance of the organization.
