gbzoflffac On a balmy day in Iune in the year 1970, a large, black, chauffeur-driven Cadillac pulled up before an enormous, gray, newly-completed edifice on Derne Street in Boston. Five distinguished looking men alighted from the automobile and gazed adrniringly upward at the modern structure towering above them. Inscribed in stone above the entrance were the words, Administration Building-Suffolk University and Law School. The first to step out of the car was Edmund Dinis, United States Senator from Massachusetts. The others follow- ing him were United States Congressmen: Don Catherwood, Robert Churchill, Charles Bur- kins and Arnold Brown. Their purpose in absenting themselves from the arduous affairs of state in Washington was to attend the dedication ceremonies of the recently constructed Suffolk University building which now encompassed two entire city blocks. They now walked toward the main entrance to go in through the massive bronze doorway, when suddenly their attention was diverted by the sound of a firm but friendly voice shouting, It's agin the law to park there! Turning the found themselves confronted by Commissioner of Police Bill Brooks. The question of illegal parking was momentarily forgotten as the former classmates recognized and greeted each other eagerly. It was al- most as if time had receded two decades and their thoughts turned back to this spot where they now stood, and where they had met before so many years ago. Then they began a conversation which, had a record been kept, would give rather a complete history of what had happened during the past twenty years to the graduating class of 1950 of Suffolk Law School. Fortunately, some unknown eavesdropper managed to record the conversation, and this is what was said: Our class turned out some very big men. Perhaps you remember that Mayor Hynes of Boston once said that he knew there were at least a dozen men in our class capable of being mayors. Well, four of our boys have achieved such success. Who are they? Well, Mel Louison was recently elected Mayor of Taunton: Al Cohen is serving his second term as Mayor of Peabody: and Sumner Edelstein is City Manager of Revere. Since East Boston decided to secede, they have elected Iose Malgeri, Mayor. Talking about Ioe, his three children, Ioe Ir., Vinney and Steve are all attending Suffolf Law School. In the old days we used to wonder just what the future held for us, but it sems that our class has done very well for itself. We also graduated quite a few judges: Andy Parisi is Chief Iustice of the Supreme Iudicial Court, and two of his associates are Al Valliere and Al Norman. Justice Norman is known as the 'great dissenter'! We have good representation on the other benches as well. Pete Makris now sits in the Criminal Session of the Superior Court. tHe's not on trial-he's the judge!J I still remember that A he received in Criminal Law. Ioe Hegarty sits on the Civil Session of the Superior Court. Dick Bonasera is a Iustice of the Probate Court. He was Secre- tary of our class, if you recall. lim Martin is a Iudge in the Massachusetts Land Court. He was one fellow who could dig up weird legal problems. Hugh Morgan's domain is in the Wakefield District Court. A 1 And guess who sits in the Iuvenile Delinquency Session of the Municipal Court-Sonny Fox. Teeven used to call him 'Funny Sox'. Sonny was the youngest man in the class but he certainly was not the shortest nor the one with the weakest voice!
