Santa Sher found an appropriate gift in his pack for Professor Meyers. Over 70 gifts were donated by local merchants for students and faculty. The Stanford Law Association is the representative organization of the Law School student body and is a member of the American Law Student Association. It is headed by an executive board com- posed of six members: the president, vice- president, secretary, and treasurer are elected by the entire student body, the first- and second-year classes each elect one representative. , Serving as a general avenue of contact between the students and the faculty, the Law Association also provides many serv- ices for students, including the sponsor- ship of the yearbook, financing various stu- dent organizations, an orientation program for entering first-year students, the super- vision of the law lounge and its conces- sions, the distribution of previous examina- tions as an aid to course study and test preparation, sponsorship of law school ath- letic teams to compete in the University's intramural program, a year-long social cal- endar, and liaison between the third-year class and bar review courses. For students in need of financial assis- tance, the Law Association administers the George E. Osborne Honorary Loan Fund to provide short-term, interest-free loans. Orientation activities for the entering class began with a get-acquainted dinner during the first week of school. Faculty members and a few advanced students at- tended to introducing the first-year class to the school. Later in the fall each legal writ- ing section met for a Friday afternoon of beer and discussion with the professor and teaching assistant. Other orientation meet- ings were held throughout the fall to ac- quaint the class with the Honor Code and Fundamental Standard and the various extra-curricular activities.

Professor Baxter hits a double in last Spring's Student-Faculty baseball game. The Law Association and the lounge mana- gers put a great deal of effort this year into the improvement and expansion of the food service available to students. A wider variety of food and drink was offered and facilities such as mag- azines and playing cards were provided. A placement committee of students from all classes studied the placement procedures of the Law School and in a spring report made recom- mendations for improving the placement process. Law School social activities consumed the ma- jority of the Associationis budget. The fall dance was an informal Halloween rock-and-roll affair held on a 1400-acre ranch near Pescadero on the Pacific Ocean. In addition to dancing, stu- dents were invited to participate in hay rides, apple dunking, and marshmallow roasting. For the first time the Law Association spon- sored a student-faculty Christmas dinner at the University Club. Following cocktails and dinner, the evening was highlighted by the faculty's performance of My Share Bradyf, In this liberal adaptation of a Lerner-Loewe musical comedy, Professors Franklin, Hancock, McDonough, Manning, Merryman, and'Meyers demonstrated that their talents are not confined to the class- room. Following the skit, Professor Sher, cast in the role of Santa Claus, distributed to the guests more than 70 gifts donated by Peninsula merchants. The party ended with everyone join- ing Mrs. Manning in singing Christmas songs. The annual winter formal was held in Febru- ary at the Palo Alto Hills Golf and Country Club in the Stanford foothills. Other social ac- tivities included several class parties, mixers, and the annual baseball contest between the stu- dents and faculty at the spring picnic. For the third-year class the culmination of the Law School social activities was the commence- ment dinner and dance held in May at the Mark Hopkins Hotel in San Francisco. Law students relax during intermission at Winter Formal held at Palo Alto Hills Golf Country Club.
