96 'GUI' 2611.1 of the ?ighting Sfirat LIGHTNER-JAIXIES--KNAPP .fl A bumper, boys, we drinlc to you 'Wfho in the heat and strife Toiled manly through the boggy swamps Vlfhere the Mauser song' was rife. 'Mid all the horrors of the held. The scream of shot and shell, The dying' groans of comrades brave, The sights too sad to tell, The toil and labored effort, boys, The fevers of the camp, The white-robed nurses of the ward, The smoke and dust and damp- They're nothing but a memory now- Are scenes of other days, Your duty calls to other helds, To toil in peaceful ways. And so a bumper, boys, we drink That in this nobler cause Your part will be to lead the van- Uphold the nation's laws. 47 C. RS

.Vhe 'Glass of 7905 W'-Z The occasion that required a particular man or a peculiar com- pany of men has never yet passed without that requirement being fully met. It has been so in all history, and it is so at the present in affairs of everyday life as well as in matters of greater moment. Vtfhen the curriculum of the Nebraska Law School was enriched and the course extended to three years, it was the common belief that '05 would cause a break in the continuous stream of young lawyers that the institution has poured out from year to year to grace the legal profession, However, a do-zen men, not flunkers from preceding classes, produced their credentials, stepped into the vacant year, and organized themselves into the Junior class. They claim never to have been Freshmen, although they perhaps used as much midnight gas on common law as on trusts or corporations. Gne feature of the little class was very commendable-the harmony of the organization. Every difficulty was adjusted wisely and peaceably, even to class elections. Football, basket-ball, or base- ball men were not a disturbing element. The juniors have not been a minor factor in spite of the fact that you could count them on the fingers of your two hands. VV hen the dean called for volunteers he usually heard from a Junior, when Professor Robbins had a stock-in-trade case to spring, one that had been decided in seventeen different ways in as many jurisdictions, he looked about knowingly, smiled, shuffled out his cards, and landed on a junior. And he expected the case to be decided right. The lirst junior class of the Nebraska College of Law has maintained its place, established a precedent, and effected its pur- pose, and when it has been swallowed up by the whirl of a busier, a more serious life, the office, the bar, the stump shall surely feel the influence of our growing institution. 49
