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

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

LEO S. LEGRO. Gracie, Nebraska. Born at Fish Mills, Vtlisconsin. Is a member of the senior academic class where he poses as a ward-healerg a member of the Commons, and major of the State Farm battalion. Although he asserts that his only ambition is to earn a reputation as a practitioner, his friends recognize that Charles F. Murphy is his ideal, and that if he keeps his lingers out of the political pie it will not be his fault. He has but two faults, to-wit: spending too much time in talk with freshman girls and swip- ing junior hats. CH,xRLEs COOPER MCELROY. Born December 26, 1SS6, at Rapid City, South Dakota. The stork brought him down just a little late for a Christ- mas present, but from hearsay evidence we have it that the city celebrated with as much vigor on the twenty-sixth as on the day before.

Since his advent to the University of Nebraska, has been a quieting factor in check- ing the wild unregenerate career of the Dynamiters,'l a society .organized for the purpose of blowing the bottom out of existing things and disturbing gen- erally the calm and peaceful sojourn of the class of 1908. Aspires to help the profs by writing out their examination questions for them. Declares that he will practice law, and if sober sense and earnestness accomplish anything he ought to succeed. JAMES G.
