HAROLD VV. ROBBINS. A native of Ord. Came into being on or about February 1, 1883. He brought his brother along and has assumed a protec- torate over him ever since. After graduating from the Ord high school he did the freslnnan and sophomore stunts at XfVesleyan University. His desire for something more exciting led him into his present predicament. After extricating himself in 1908 he will take his father and brother out into the great West and practice law on the inhabitants thereof. NVe bespeak for him a successful career. As to that part of his future which lies beyond the term of his natural life, we are unable to prophesy. PAUL ER.xs1-Us Roonnfisn. Very reticent about his past. Has always been the pride of his parents and was last fall shipped down to Dean Pound with instructions from them to handle with care, His record at Lincoln is as yet clear. If he is as much of a winner out of school as he is in, he will soon be bobbing about at a dizzy height. Expects to practice whenever he can find a choice colony of farmers, and says that if there is no litigation he will start something himself. A. H. SCRIBNER. Phi Kappa Psi. Theta Nu Epsilon. Scrib, or Cap, is a graduate of the Omaha high school where he obtained numerous mili- tary honors. Began his academic course in 1902 and law in 1905.

After graduat- ing there, he attended Wfesleyan two years with the intention of becoming a minister. Finding himself not adapted to that, he tried two years of cowboy life on a ranch in Texas.

Phi Gamma Delta. Dave, the official physician for the Fijis, hrst saw the light of day at Alma, Nebraska, December 2, 1885. After completing the high school course at Alma, he went to Omaha where he was graduated from the Omaha Pharmacy College. A certain attraction at University Place, together with an inborn love of legal lore allured him to the Law College. Here he expects to remain until he earns his degree, if the drowsiness which so frequently attacks him in the class room does not render such an ambition unattainable. Roscoe RUSSELL SMITH. Born in Cooksville, Illinois, in 1884. When he was four years old his parents moved to Schuyler, Nebraska, and again in 1895 removed to Leigh. Roscoe is a graduate of the Leigh high school and the Fremont Normal. Like many others he has experienced the pleasures of school teaching, but stoutly declares that he would rather be a lawyer.

Born May 10, 1885, at Butler, Missouri. During his early youth it was found that the climate and soil did not agree with him. His parents then decided to take him to a higher altitude. They moved to Livingston, Montana, where he sprouted to a great height in a short time. Among some of his brothers he is known as f'Spike or Splinter. He is a good student and faithful worker and has a mind in proportion to his height. He is a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. After com- pleting his course he expects to take up the practice of his father, who is a lawyer at Livingston, Montana. He will certainly do honor to himself, and to his noble tribe-the Smiths. 45 as

THOS. NIOONLIGH1' MURPHEY. Beta Theta Pi. This cheerful preserver of St. Patrickls day, and the Shamrock, was born in Leavenworth, Kansas, in 1885. His parents, anticipating that he would have his hours of business in the night, wisely named him Moonlight At one time he dreamed the dreams of a soldier of fortune and spent four years at 'Western Military Academy in Illinois, from which he graduated in 1904. After finishing the law course he will enter the office of one of the leading attorneys in Kan- sas City, Kansas. LOGAN C. MUSSER. Entered the Law College at the beginning of the second semester as being one of the leading citizens of Rushville, Nebraska. He is a married man, and has been manager of the Citizens Bank of Rush- ville for nine years. Also does real estate work and abstracting. I-Ie is taking law primarily to assist him in his business, he wants the goods, and is not trying to carry off the red and blue ribbons. MRS. EDITH C. PATTERSON. Born at Princeton, Illinois, on the eleventh day of a certain year, which the editor alone knows. Attended the Jewels- burg, Illinois, preparatory school for one year. We are not mind-readers and therefore cannot announce her intentions or her motive in pursuing the Study of law. But the industry of the Little VVidow, and her enthusi- asm in poring over the legal reports has aroused the curiosity of many. Her present home is at Clarks, Nebraska. EDWARD JAMES PATTERSON. Born at Central City, November 9, 1886. graduated from the Central City high school in 1905. He played four years in the high school baseball team. He is interested in athletics, as well as his studies, being chosen treasurer of the law baseball team. An honest man and a good housekeeper goes as fairly as to say a careful man and a great scholar. ROBERT H. PERRY. Brother of state representative E. B. Perry, Cam- bridge, Nebraska. At home he is a secret member of the Hallowe'en Club. In this line, as in others, he has proven his ability to devise and manage effective plans. Robert can handle more work in the lumber and coal business in one day than two ordinary men of his size. At present he is solving the burning question Cas all good coal dealers mustj of how to make the base- ball team in his freshman year. He is also considerably interested in law, which he intends some day to put into practice. GEORGE TRUMAN RANDALL. Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Graduated from the high school of Newman Grove, Nebraska, in 1904. I-Ie takes law that he may some day step into the shoes of his father, who is banker at Newman Grove, and paramount lord of much soil. Inasmuch as coming events cast shadows, I would say that George bids fair to do some bench work in his freshman year. The only charge against him at present is that he did take, steal and carry away the heart of one Miss T-, on a date to the jurors unknown. TELFER BARKLEY REYNOLDS. Alpha Tau Omega. VVhat's danmum absque 1i1Z-jilblhfll? This must be a Latin class that I've gotten into, says Fat, looking Over the examination questions in torts. But he knew what it was after his memory was jolted sufficiently. Fat is the idol and the savi-or of the A. T. Ofs, having left school at the end of the first semester to write insurance, in Order that their treasury be replenished. Wliile in school he was the main squeeze of the Fussers Club. JOHN WEBSTER RICE., Union. Jack was born at Neligh in 1834, but made his formal entry into the world when he registered with the class of 1008. Here is a good bunch of undeveloped material for a Uladies' man, and with proper training and a little encouragement a parlor favorite would be created. However, at present Rice has his eyes fixed on football fields, and athletics of the coming fall. I-Ie will qualify as a sophomore and intends to don the mole-Skins and cinch'l a place. 'When this stunt is over Rice will-practice in Lincoln, where he can keep an eye on Union girls. 44 A

Senator Spaits is now practicing law, in which hefhas made great progress. His first case as attorney was for a yeast firm, and now he is acting in the interests of a balloon maker. Besides that he has his eye on a chance to do some briefing foran elevator manufacturing company. Oh! that man is getting up in the world. CHARLES ALGERNON SUNDERLIN. Phi Gamma Delta. Sudgy was born at Chase, Michigan, December 1, 1883. The First words which came from his lips were: In all fairness and justice we submit that for these reasons the affirmative should win. It seems but natural therefore that in the Clinton, Iowa, high school, where he completed his preliminary course, and in the University, he should take to debating as a duck does to water. Last year was a member of the team that defeated Iowa, this year is president of the Debating Board and a member of the team which met the University of Wfisconsin. Sunderlin is also a prominent member of the junior class of the general college, where he is known as Boss Sunderlinf' Everything, it seems, conspires to strengthen the prediction that he'will be numbered among our future statesmen.
