JAMES M. HOAK, .T R. Born and bred in the N,ation's Breadbasket ffamiiy still there, call it Nation's Heartland, as do those who love, of which there are few judging from the size of Long Beachj, then to the East for a Yale education for was it degreeffj, then to the West seeking a trade school, came upon Stanford, entered thinkingthe golf course looked good, then to places unknown.

Hoffman at Boothill College freceiving the Jr. degreej and then the Cur Multiversal Schul. A reference from the Song of Beoman the Dane indicates that he later became an Engineer. The Song of Beoman frequently alludes to 'flevers of society and The Infinite Fan fthe latter may also be a religious referencej. Beoman was apparently Schuldane to a type of social orgasm that produced Engineers and voracious tiger-suited Preverts. The Preverts instructed Engineers on how to become Pillsberries. To become a Prime Pillsberry, an Engineer had to learn the Seven Positions - most importantly, the Corporate Position, the Gross Tax Configuration Position, and the Supine Position. Some who did not become Pillsberries became Constitutionalanarchists and did the usit-in fapparently a form of sexual activityj. An indistinct inscription on an old wall indicates that Hoffman was last seen singing Alice's Restaurantn at the Knoland Reduction Center, arm-in-arm with five MP's. PAUL S. HOLDORF The Gateway to 'tA Little Bit io Heaven. This gate, made out of hundreds of thousands of different pieces of stone gathered in this country, polished in Germany and -assembled under the personal supervision of B.J., is a wondrous piece of beauty but cannot be compared with the incomparable wonders to be found in 'CA Little Bit 'o Heaven itself.

THOMAS HART HAWLEY Born to the law four and twenty years ago, Thomas Hart Hawley commenced his education at Wesleyan, eventually carrying his virtues to Stanford where he received his B.A. Having entered first upon literary pursuits, he gradually gravitated toward rather than chose law. His education, during the course of which with dogged pernacity he has plodded at his work, has failed to make either a prig or a great scholar of him. He is an honest lad, neither supple nor flashy and never looking to the right or to the left 3 he has generally won for himself a reputation for thorough judgment, not prejudicially affected by the suspicion of showy or brilliant qualities. As an unruffled fellow, he is too modest to be ever contemptuous, yet is full of the most polite and gentle sarcasm. In all, a rightminded, honest soul, only once accused in ribald verse of an amorous adventure, yet good natured and as yet unmarried. He owes his success to his painstaking industry and early rising. Thomas entered this world as an infant on December 27, 1944, just beating the post-war rush-possibly the last time he was ahead of the game. He pursued his education in the neighborhood school system of Rochester, New York and at the Aquinas Institute, a coincidence whose significance will not be lost on the subject's more than casual acquaintances. Then just before his eighteenth birthday he inexplicably forsook his home state's enlightened social drinking policy for four years of near-temperance at Boston College. Yet unarticulated motives led him to the San Andreas fault and Americais only junior university where he culminated his second distinguished decade of participation in the scholastic processes. His suggested love affair with the law was frustrated quite early in his law school career by observation of the respective fates of the Widow Grimstad and Charles Rizzo. At Stanford his activities have been concentrated in the areas of nourishing the ball-eating trees of Stanford Golf Course and going to hell his own way with Moffatt Hancock. RICHARD R. HERZOG A.B.

-Q: QC' STEVEN H. HUGHES Finding himself torn between his true loves of Egyptology and Mesoamerican archaeology, Steve opted out with Stanford School of Law. fActually he discovered that most archaeologists, are quietly starvingj. A native of Hillsboro, Oregon, Steve spent his undergraduate years skiing in the Oregon Cascades. Fortunately CO this did not prevent his graduation, cum laude, from Lewis 84 Clark College in 1965. After graduation he resumed skiing and became licensed as a Certified Public Accountant by the State of Oregon. Steve's most noteworthy achievement while at Stanford was his December 21, 1968 marriage to Alice Ann Steed. As a true native Oregonian Steve plans to return to said state, wife permitting, Where he will join the Committee to Save Oregon from California. EMORY E. IRELAND . Emory was born in San Diego, California on October 15, 1944. He grew up in Wellesley, Massachusetts and attended Wellesley High School. Four years at Yale led to a B.A. in English and marriage to the former Barbara Pomeroy in August of 1966. Emory worked fwith payj for Professor John Kaplan and for the Constitution Revision Commission while at Stanford. He also labored fwithout payj for the Journal of International Studies. He hopes to practice law in Milwaukee, if Uncle Sam does not assert a prior claim. RALPH L. JACOBSON l To appreciate insanity one must experience it. Since everything is nothing and nothing is everything, therefore everything is everything. Thus we can see the overwhehning importance of a sound legal education to prepare the lawyer for a productive role in society. Production is crucial, distribution is of secondary importance. And happiness is a hobgoblin. Remember that commencement is not the end-it is the beginning. For those of us under 26 it may be the end. But all good things come to an end. Or do they? As Country Joe says: Things done before me have no ending. Therefore, things done afterwards have no beginning. Goodbye.
