.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

'Glass of 7906 .af Abbott, A. T. Born at Grand Island, Neb., where he attended college and received the degree of A. B. He kept books l'or various iirms until his hair follicles became diseased from worry. He then abandoned accounts and red ink and entered the College of Law as a Freshman in the spring of 1904. A hard worker and deserving of success. Bagley, James Thomas. Ancestors from near Killarney Lakes. Born in Omaha and proud of the opportunity to join the democratic majority ol' Sarpy county. The board of directors and faculty of the Springfield high school retired him with the class of '98. He has been a decided success as manager of the Law baseball team. Occasionally he uses the library. Barta, Frank A. Born and grew in Knoxville, Neb. Attended Nebraska Normal College, Wayne, Neb., and Highland Park College. Des Moines, Iowa. Has the degree of B. S. Known to bleacher fiends as the mighty subguard. Taught schoolg in discipline moral suasion was his hobby. Is built on the Atlas plan. Lifts locomotives for exercise, and Was once caught with the library stone under his arm. Housemoving by hand a specialty. Beachley, William C. Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Born in Meyersdale, Pa. Lives in Lincoln and is a graduate of the Lincoln high school. Follows the profession of a clerk. Is a product of Hunteris Y. M. C. A. debating squad. His as- sociates are responsible for his pugnacious traits, for by nature he is mild, docile, sweet-tempered. Under the oily, naive tutorship of the even-tempered Robbins, he may regain his youthful equanimity and modesty. Will make a success of law south of the Antarctic circle. Beavers, Charles Chester. Was born in the sovereign state of Iowa. He deems it superfluous to mention the exact locality. However, he now is domiciled in South Omaha, and in that place he will hang out his shingle. Having no particular business, he drifted to the Uni Where as yet he has taken no degree and Won no honor. Charles should make an excellent advocate: he stands so erect and Will be able fearlessly to face the sternest judge. Mr. Beavers is a member of Sigma Chi. 51
