SIDNEY T. FRUM. Began his career at Danbury, Iowa, November 16, 1885. Graduated at the Danbury high school in 1902. His present address is Homer, Nebraska. In property exams is where he shines most brightly. Pound recognizes his superior ability and endurance and sometimes furnishes him with supplementary questions. Wie are inclined to believe that Prum will develop into a lawyer rather than an attorney. If he practices he will surely make it a go. Mfwrm LUTHER FRERicHs. Martin was born August 19, 1880, at Feting, Nebraska. His parents soon after moved to Auburn and found it necessary to take him along. He graduated from the Auburn high school in 1901. He spent the next year in the University, then prognosticated that it would be wise to learn some business ways before taking his law course, so that after graduating he might have tangible means of supportg consequently he spent three years in Oklahoma in the hardware business. Has shown himself to be an ardent supporter of all class enterprises, and has distinguished himself in his studies by taking one of the first semester prizes. After graduating he expects to practice in Oklahoma. BRUCE FULLERTON. Sigma Chi. Born at Lincoln in 1884. Prepared at Lincoln high school and Lincoln academy. Spent one year in the College of Literature, Science and Arts with the class of 1007 and then entered the Law School. Bruce's golden hair and sunny smile make him such a social favorite that he finds it hard to devote the proper amount of time to reading cases. He will practice law in Alaska where there will be few of the fair sex to distract his attention. Another of the law school's devoted followers of Al Fields. JOSEPH LEE GRIMM. Joseph, a distant relative of the biblical Joseph, was born in 1883. Graduated from the XVilber high school in 'ora as presi- dent of his class. Spent three years in the University before entering the College of Law. He loves to dance and is an ardent admirer of the fair sex, but even admitting this he does enough of hard work to keep him on a solid footing with his profs Holds the honor of always hungry in the Full- Dinner-Pail Club. Wfill practice law. ERNEST T. GRUNDEN. This fickle youth was born at Elmwood, Ne- braska, October 4, 1880. At an early age he moved to the vicinity of Lex- ington, which place now prides itself that it is his home. Ernest early took great pleasure in athletics and played center on the champion football team of the Lexington high school, After teaching school one winter he decided that Icabod Crane was not his role, and consequently registered last fall with the class of 108. Mr. Grunden is studious: his favorite subject is torts and his ambition is to be able to roll it off like Prof. VVilson. Wfill practice law when college days are over. M. A. HADSELL. Not Master of Arts but Martin A. One of the natives. Vifas born in Saunders county the 25th of January, 1882. Has never left Ne- braska except at intervals. His hobby is elocution, in which he has attained some distinction, having entertained audiences in a number of Nebraska towns. Is a graduate of the Wesleyaii University School of Expression. He entered the Law School last September, with a black mustache, but soon lost that, and has since been trying to grow wise. He is a member of the Dra- matic Club. VVhen he gets into practice he expects to move juries by his dramatic style. Will perhaps practice law in Saunders county. ALBERT A. I'IEACOCK. Kappa Sigma. Comes from Springfield, Nebraska. Is occasionally seen at the library. Can talk all the time without studying what to say. Asks as many questions as he did when he was a small boy, but accuses some of the seniors of being liars. The first day he was in Law School he knocked at the door of the library and introduced himself to the librarian and said he was a freshman and asked if she would find him a seat and get him started to work. He isn't started yet. Has the qualifications of a great lawyer and we think will enjoy politics. 41

NEIL M. CRONIN. Alpha Theta Chi. A product of Clay county, Ne- braska. Graduate of the Sutton high school, and of the University of Nebraska. He was a precocious youth and conspicuous for his ambition and high ideals. Gained prominence early in his University career as a man of ability in debates. In him is combined unusual power of thought, a fluency characteristic of his race, and a vigorous style of which he is master. Was given a Phi Beta Kappa in his senior year, and has since been a prominent member of the Lincoln high school faculty. Above all, he is a jolly, good fellow and one who will acquit himself creditably when he begins to practice. VVILLIAM DAVEY. It was in 1884 that W'illiam was born. Twenty-eight miles northwest of Sioux City, in the little town of Ponca, Nebraska, in a good Irish home, he first beheld sunlight on the thirtieth of July. He soon outgrew his checked apron of innocence and early his knee breeches were discarded. He attended the schools of Ponca and made a record there. Dur- ing his mustache period a law bee was continually buzzing about his bon- net. As a result of its call he entered the University of Nebraska and his work here has caused his classmates to conclude that success will be his without question, in this his chosen profession. Davey is of medium height and build, walks easily, talks little, and does much. He is clean, upright and industrious, and has for his friends all who know him. 'Will practice law. HARRY E. DRESS. Because he appears so quiet and forlorn is no indica- tion that he has not at one time made audiences burst with laughter or weep with rage by the power of his voice as an orator. Hails from St. Edward, and from the high school there he graduated in 1905. Has not established such a reputation as a versatile expounder of multifariousness that the profs refuse to call upon him any more, however, he -is always on the spot when questioned in class. Law or politics are his choice for the future. ALLEN XVESCOTT FIELD. Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Judge was born in Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1885 and graduated with honors from Lincoln high school in 1904. He spent two years in the College of Literature, Science and Arts and then entered the Law School. Is noted for his disposition to argue technical points with the profs. His red cheeks and coal black hair arouse at once the admiration and envy of the co-eds who watch him as he strides about the halls. llvllllfi he is no relation to Al. G. Field of minstrel fame, yet Al. says he is a ine fellow. Expects to succeed to his father's extensive practice in Lincoln. FRANK FL1zNN11c1zN is one of the promising football men of the freshmen laws. Although a man of but medium- stature, Flenniken has all the ear- marks of a knight of the pigskin. The strong, square jaw and straight, de- termined mouth tell the tale of invincible determination: clear, snappy eyes announce the love of an encounter. Flenniken is a thorough student, and a man who is popular with the gentle sex, upon whom he never fails to make a favorable impression with his manly bearing and gallant manners. Is fixed in his purpose of making name and fame at the bar. DON CARL FoUTs. The first town which this man remembers is Pauline in Adams county, Nebraska. Here he lived the usual life of an active young- ster until he outgrew his short clothes. Attended the country schools and later completed the scientific course at the Fremont Normal. After swaying the pedagogical scepter in Ong for two years he entered the freshman class in 1906. Mr. Fouts is a good student, and an all around good fellow. Ex- pects to post one year in an Eastern college after graduation. W'ill be a lawyer and a loyal democrat. 40

GEORGE E. HENDRICKS. This smiling member of the class was born in Missouri at a date unknown, but the head sprinkled with gray testifies to the fact that he is a survivor of the flood. He has long Hown from his father's fold and now resides a hermit in Lincoln. Graduated in 'Wahoo high school 1900 and received his A.B. in the University of Nebraska in 1905. He has taken a liking to selling books and may engage in that business after com- pleting his law course. Quite a grafter. ALLEN JOHNSON. ln the few brief years that Allen Johnson has trodden this vale of tears he seems to have gathered much knowledge of the germs 1l1H1l6l7VLL.S'. Born and reared upon the western homestead his mind has been enriched by days spent in the sun-kissed nelds of corn. His youth was strengthened by conflicts with the raging blizzard when it careered over half a continent. The days thus spent with unconfmed nature, where the eye may gaze from miles of undulating plains to the infinite vault of the heavens above, have cleared his mind of conventions. Coupled with his convictions is the courage to promulgate them, which makes him a personality of note among the laws. JOHN O. JOHNSON. This intelligent looking young man came to us from St. Edward, Nebraska, having graduated from the high school of that place in 1905. He is a tireless worker, but has not yet acquired that faculty so common to lawyers of talking too much. Those who know him understand that his thoughts are deep just in proportion as his words are few. Jolmson seems absolutely indifferent to the wiles of the maidens of Lincoln. As to his prospects in St. Edward-well, that rests merely on hearsay evidence and is hardly admissible here. VVill enter politics. LEWIS CHRISTOPHER JOHNSON. Born at Millard, Nebraska. Comes to the University from Springfield, which is his present home. Is a graduate of the Springfield high school. Just was his sense, and his expression plain, His words succinct, yet full without a fault, He spoke no more than just the thing he ought. ROY T. JOHNSON. This horny-handed son of toil was born in Scandia, Kansas, in 1888. He followed his parents to their present home in Lincoln and last year graduated from the high school. In the Lincoln high he was interested in debating and was on the staff of the Advocate. He came to the University with a view of mastering the lawless science of our law,- That codeless myriad of precedent, That wilderness of single instances, but has not as yet decided whether he will practice law or engage in business. GEORGE E. JUNGE. Born at Belle Plaine, Iowa, on November 21, 1879. Present home, Osmond, Nebraska. Attended the 'Wayne Normal for three years. Entered the College of Law last fall, but was compelled to leave at the end of the first semester. CHARLES W. KELLEY. Kid Kelley, the blue-eyed, light-haired sylph of the freshman class, is universally regarded as a comer. Although Kid occa- sionally has 'difficulty in keeping on the top side of his chair, 'he -usually di- vines the right time to say the proper thing in a contract recitation. He is regarded by the instructors as one of the coming Solons of the wind-swept state. Wfhat the Kid lacks in muscle he makes up in grace, and usually enamors all beholders with his unaffected simplicity of demeanor. He will practice law in times to come. ' 42
