Rowe, Dean Stason's timely wel- come warning in re cans, and the University's personal greetings via registration, a somewhat befuddled but eager class of 1959 settled down to the more serious tasks of learning the operation of our legal system. Somehow the hodgepodge of married men, unmarried ladies, veterans and perennial schoolboys soon began to emerge from the dusty inner sanctum ol the library and indulge in the various social activities ollered by The Law Club and the outside world of Ann Arbor. Chief among these activities was our innovation of The Last Blast, which saw scads of bashful Hrst year lawyers meet with hundreds ol charming coeds over punch and crumpets in the Law Club lounge and basement- an event acclaimed by all, not the least of whom were Mrs. Georgia Peavey and Mr. H. james Koehler. Having attempted with questionable success to cope with case club briefs and judges, and with the first combined mystery of prelims, the class of 1959, still eager if lrazzled a bit, welcomed diversions of Suppressed Desire and W7igge and Robben, ex- change dinners, glee club concerts, and Chancellor's Ball. The formation of a Committee to Investigate the Implementation of an Honor System, along with Psurls, Glee Club, SBA, the rousing of Res Gestae from the dead, and The Quad, took prominent parts in the extracurricular held. Wle watched the pros play ping pong, joined in basketball, hockey and other mostly seden- tary sports, and tried in vain to cheer the rest of the 80W whose heads fell from the Harvey hatchet, as post mortum to the midyear farce. 63

The advent of spring saw us pity the incoming midyear frosh, as they tuned a puzzled ear to Joiner's music, and begin to explore the wisdom of the evil cans. The imminence of the horrors of that final week in June did not dim the glories of coffee dates, blanket picnics in the Arb, kite-flying and pcnny-pitch- ing in the quad, and birthday parties in the P-Bell. Grease Ball lured us into illusory hope that all could not intellectually be in vain. After all there would not be room for all in Law Review, and maybe we'd see the hnals of Campbell Competition instead. The coming of spring turned the undergraduate-law-library users' minds to other than bookish pursuits, and we eagerly sought chairs in which to prepare the outlines for that final dreaded week. That final week? YVith President Jerry Bader faithfully leading, as a reasonably prudent first-year Wfolverine lawyer in the same or similar circumstances, that final week came and went so fast we did not know or care what had hit us.
