Lyons CTIVITIES in the Law School have produced nothing startling this year- all being serene and uneventful. Due to the in- creased registration a larger number of students actively participated than ever before. A progressive move forward was made when the student body adopted a compulsory student organization fee. thereby showing the way for other faculties. This resulted in an increased revenue and urgent widen- ing of the sphere of activities especially in the realm of sport. The Benchers. as our executive is called, held regular meetings at which problems of administra- tion and management were freely examined and finally settled, but usually after stormy and con- tentious discussion. Social affairs were always a complete success and this can be attributed only to the untiring energy and able engineering of Joe Lyons. Especially can this be said of the bachelor banquets. the only ones staged in the University. During the course of the year a number of smokers were also held at which prominent men of the city addressed the body on interesting and illumin- ative topics. - In the field of debating. which should be the peculiar accomplishment of law students. great in- terest Was taken with pleasing results. During the course of the term the Benchers sponsored a debate before the Blackstone Club and the Scottish Literary Society. In February a mock trial was staged in which the litigants exhibited considerable forensic ability which speaks Well for their future success as bar- risters. The faculty was also of live fair Portias in faculty who throughout terest and participated in Although the faculty enhanced by the presence our predominantly male have taken an active in- our student affairs. is to some extent segre- gated from its sister faculties. and the students have not the same opportunity to participate in Uni- versity affairs as fully as might be possible. due to the fact that the greater part are employed in law firms. still Law students have been well represented in all spheres of University affairs. having in our midst the president of the Debating Union. the editor of The Manitoban. the president of the Athletic Directorate. as well as three members on the last mentioned body. Altogether our relations with the other faculties have been most cordial. while harmony and good fellowship has prevailed Within the student body itself at all times. which is. after all. the most worthy of all achievements.

LAW CURLING Second Year HE most successful attempt which our curling representatives made towards glorious achievement this year was in the Inter- faculty Bonspiel. The terrible trio comprised of Cam. Haig, Howard Hutton, and Vince Cooney, along with the inimitable Bill Goodall, had no difficulty in working their way up to the semi- finals, where they encountered Grant Watson and his unbeatable scientific curlers. In the ensuing game, after a closely fought struggle, Grant Watson skipped his team to victory by a narrow margin, and as a result we are now waiting for another chance. We can be quite safe in saying that next year should see several of our stalwarts representing Varsity in the Manitoba Spiel-here's hoping. Third Year Fourth Year The teams this year were as follows: Second Year- H. Hutton, J. C. Haig, V. A, Cooney, A, Stringer Cabsentj. Third Year- S. Denaburg, P. Meighan, I. Keith, J. Share Fourth Year- D. Campbell. W. Boyd, H. Clement. W. A. Goodall Cabsentl. Page One Hundred and Ninety-two
