courts with Towne as clerk. XfVe purposely refrain now and here- after from mentioning the justices of the peace, for in spite of much advertisement and reduced rates the class failed to recognize their ability and had their marriages performed elsewhere. 'With the opening of the first term of court came a judicious cultivation of imposing gestures and piercing glances by the lawyers, and dig- nified frowns by the judges. ln working one night, Hodge dis- covered Cowan seated in the middle of the floor busily engaged in clipping the hair from a fur rug. On being asked what he was doing, he replied that he was only making a wig to wear on the supreme bench. Cases were tried, won, and lost, and the new semester, result- ing in the election of Mr. james as president, came on apace. The second term of co-urt found Messrs. Shelburn, Lightner, and Sar- gent sitting as the supreme court and Honnold as clerk. In the district court were judges T. M. Hewitt and Monroe, Bald being the official boodler. The third term began with Messrs. Buchanan, Kirwan, and Berkey on the wool sack, Hart, clerk, and Messrs. Craft and Samp- son district judges, with Lambe clerk. And so the year is ending, and we are about to leave. To say that we are sorry would be to tell but half the truth. We are also glad. Sorry because it is all over and because the associations of the last two years will be broken. Glad because it is all over and because we will have the opportunity to show ourselves to be men in a world of men. It was ever thus. And so in parting, kind friends, we ask you to watch us when we are through, and if, per- chance, in future years you hear of us once again, pray remember what we have said in the beginning and consider that it could scarcely be avoided.
