fpfzofzgacy - Uonfifzmzcf Last week I bumped into lack Malone at the South Station. He was on his way to Saint Paul to take over as Chief Editor of the West Publishing Company. lack was author of a column in the school paper called 'Legally Speaking.' He was also editor of the Yearbook and President of the Suffolk Club of Boston. Since 1950 he has been associated with various legal publishing firms. Paul Danehy is now Regional Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for New England. He promises immediate action on the still un- solved Brink's robbery of twenty years ago. Chuck Dam, a former outfielder on the Suffolk nine, always interested in sports and a fine athlete, heads a syndicate which has purchased the Boston Braves. Chuck insists that the 'bridesmaid' days of the Braves are over. Murray Rittenberg, whenever he can take time from his busy law practice, is still a rabid rooter for the Boston Red Sox! I should tell you about Frank Reardon. He was a judge on the Equity side but was switched to the Probate side. Frank says he was getting sore on his Equity side. Talking about Frank reminds me of Sumner Smith, who has just applied to Bernie Kiernan, of the Interstate Commerce Commission for an interstate carrier's license for his bus and trans- portation company which will enable him to fulfill his advertising boast, 'We go anywhere and everywhere.' Do you know who is going ot read the dedication ceremony today? Ralph Murray. He was elected President of Suffolk University by the Board of Trustees, among whom are Ed Stokeham and Hy Troped. What ever became of Arnold Felton and Morry Markson? Haven't you heard? They are writing the prophecy for the Class of l970. The men who were gathered in front of the School realized that it was time for the ceremony to begin. They approached the doorway again and Bill Brooks said, I'll be with you in a moment. Then he dashed over to the Cadillac, still parked in front of the School, reached into his coat pocket, removed a pad and pencil, and a handful of red tickets, then carefully wrote down the license number of the car. He dutifully placed a large red ticket on the windshield and as he rejoined his companions, he said, It's still 'agin' the law! They all laughed and went inside.

glzopgscy - c7OlZfl:lZLLEC! Larry O'Donnell, our Class President, is now Attorney General of the Commonwealth, as you probably know: Tom O'Brien and Gene Sullivan are now Assistant Attorney Gen- erals. Those boys were always determined and are doing fine jobs. We have cornered the market as far as District Attorneys go. Listen to this list: Ioe Clancy, Essex County: lack Pollis, Suffolk County: Dick Fortier, Middlesex, and Tony Di-Pardo, Norfolk. Tony's son, Bob, is following in his father's footsteps by attending Suffolk Law School. Mike Santorsola, al- ways popular, has recently been named Attorney General of the State of Maine. He is still treasurer of the Suffolk Club of Boston. I met Paul Shagoury the other day: he's Dean of the Law School now, and he said that he received two letters from the Attorney Generals of Egypt, Ahmed Farra and Salam Dajaini. They expressed a hope that they might visit this country forthe dedication. Those fellows did very well at Suffolk, and were always at the top of the class. Some of Boston's largest and most successful law firms are composed of Suffolk men. The noted law firm of Duffy and Dowd has just added a new partner, Pasquale Pannesi. That's a combination which is hard to beat! And guess what? Barrett and Barrett have just merged with Mulkern and Mulkern. . Is that so? What are they going to call the firm, Mulret Inc.? Remember Irv Goodman? He is now Corporation Counsel for the City of Boston. He had the honor of writing one of the finest bar examinations in many years. Sam Cinamon now has the reputation of being the most prominent criminal lawyer in the State. His boom- ing voice has rung out often in the interests of justice-not only in the courts-but wherever human rights were being infringed. In school, if you remember, he often arose to lend his voice to what he considered a just cause. Most of the other fellows are doing quite well. Bill Currier is kept very busy attending to his law practice down in Hingham and also in managing his chain of Italian restaurants which specialize in piza. Sumner Bauman and Bill Esip have just been appointed to the Board of Bar Examiners. They say that they will recommend Suffolk Law graduates be excused from taking the bar examinations, and be automatically admitted to the practice of law. Their theory on the subject is that no other law school offers such a well-developed technique of teaching, and that if a man gets through three years there, his taking the examination would be only a waste of time because it is a foregone conclusion that he would pass. George Blaine has written a treatise on legal ethics which has been lauded and cited by many courts. Armand Bogosian has been teaching at Harvard for some time where he has succeeded Samuel Williston as the outstanding authority on the Law of Contracts. Many of our former classmates are now engaged in teaching law: Iohn B'Smith at Suffolk, Al Gal- ber at Boston University, Bill Cranfield at Northeastern and Bill Kasilowski at Boston College. The Suffolk influence is spreading far and wide. Dick Barry is now conducting a very suc- cessful bar review. A high percentage of his students have passed the bar. Manny Ramos has just ben appointed by the President to the post of General Counsel of the National Labor Relations Board. George Doyle, of course, you know is making head- lines as President of the American Federation of Labor. 'Veep' Masterman has just been named President of the Boston Chamber of Commerce. Ed always had a talent for organi- zation and should do wonders to attract new industries and visitors to Boston.
