. sagfcrff FMR! Za tviff- as-ve-Yo-39 We! History of the Class of By E. W. Sticlqley, '28 ISTCRY, it has been said, is only an account of the deeds and thoughts Q of those who have passed the reviewing stand of Time. Histories of the Classes which have preceeded us, indicate that they were all unusual- some better-others best. We, therefore, hesitate in describing our status as the superlatives have been exhausted. We will only say that our Class is good and let it stand to be proven, as it easily can be, just how good we really are. Time and space would not permit the recording of the many acts of our members, to promote the welfare of the class and school. Every committee, eviery individual, when assigned a task for the class, functioned as only a well ordered group can. Our first assembly was held in September 1924, at which time we were intro' duced to the instructors in the various subjects of the law. A realization of the size of our undertaking was brought to us when Mr. Taft calmly announced that we would have the first 40 pages in upersonal property. We had not fully recovered. from this sho-ck, when Mr. Stephens, whom we had decided we were going to like, calmly told us to take the first 10 cases. Early in the class year, Bill Foss, acting as chairman, succeeded in welding us into a well organized class under the leadership of Gibson Yungblut. Gibby led us most ably and was active in starting the nlireshman Reporter our class paper, which proved to be a wonderful aid to each of us. As one class night followed another, we reached the end of our school year, having survived the mysteries of Common Law Plead' ing and the intricacies of Davies vs. Mann, carrying with us Mr. Stephenls admonition that ones head could not be opened and torts poured in and Mr. Morrow's advice that it might be well to know what was meant by Replication De Injuriaf' ln the second year, we were exposed to the N. I. L. and its partners, Bills and Notes, a trio worthy of the metal of any group. Holroyd vs. Marshall and Lumley vs. Wagiier were also met and defeated. Gilbert Shaver was elected class president and maintained the high standard set in our iirst year. The monthly class dinners were well attended. These affairs proved to be both entertaining and instructive, as some prominent member of the local bar would address us on some subject of the law. ' Christmas came along and with it our red apple and chocolate Santa Claus. These were distributed by Mr. Aronoff with great accuracy. The warm nights of May were made warmer by the examination but due to very thorough preparation, there were no prostrations. In our Junior Year, Bill Foss was elected president and maintained the tradition of his predecessors. Mr. Magrish very ably instructed us in The circumstances under which the public force will be brought to bear. At the same time he was largely instruf mental in bringing that force to bear in the now' famous Tumey case. judge Hickenlooper instructed us in making and revoking wills and was rewarded after examination by Mr. Yarnovsky telling us that a will could not be played on a phonograph. Several writers of much promise were discovered during the year when Elmer Davidson sought to eliminate the back row interference. .i Tv J dx R? N FxiliiNTEy',f'gf' X X I

p X A W X speaking to them: one the voice of selfishness and ambition, the other the voice of legal administration denoting a spirit of service and of cooperation in service. For the honor of your profession and for the honor of yourselves, I beg you to heed the admonition of a man older than yourselves in experience, that there is nothing so real as your ideals: nothing that you grasp can give you a satisfaction equal to that of holding to a high resolve. Maintain lofty aims and ideals and you will realize them. Abandon them, and the pitcher is broken at the fountain. Very sincerely, s H?

X fs- riff'-rf ' X .essex sf P sw L 28 was XL saws.-a Nfxf Mr. Riesenberg explained a Massachusetts Trust, then spoiled the story by asking if a corporation could ride a horse. Mr. Catch told us what 'kEquity would be in May-and it was. Police Powers and Bank vs. Trebein are now behind' us Here is the class we have been trying to get into. After some delay in holding the election, Harry McKeever was elected president and is doing nicely-thank you. Earl Stine was elected president of the Student Council and is showing great abilit, in handling the school problem that came before that body. Mr. Stewart has told us how to beat L'S1O,OOO a year by making 351000 a day, thus adding fuel to our determination to make good. Mr. Creve has told us all about Bankruptcy and judge Chas. Hoifman and Mr. Bowman, respectively are taking us through Domestic Relations and 'ilvlunicipal Corporations. The Christmas season arrived but no red apple or peanuts were received from the school oifice and alas, the cold truth was forced upon us that L'There ain't no Santa Claus and that we are indeed Seniors and above the childish desires of life. Mr. Heintz, has taught us what partners may and may not do, while Mr. Kunkel has tried earnestly to show us the difference between Domicile and Residence. ,Iudge Dixon tried the case of Sarah Ogden vs. Joe Rhines in which Joe was proven to be a dangerous truck driver. Also the case of State vs. Banzer in which Elmer Hartman Banzer was charged with second degree murder for shooting and killing his wife. Both trials resulted in hung juries, which would have suited the class, had it actually been done. In March the class was saddened upon learning of the death of Mrs. McKeever who passed away after a brief illness. Appropriate expressions of sympathy were sent by the class oflicers, while condolences were personally extended to Harry by every member of the class. Judge Gusweiler is now demanding all of our time not needed for sleep and some of the fellows say he is taking part of that. Dean Bettman recently told us that annuals were sometimes found in hidden places and when read in those later days, they prove their worth in the years which they cause to pass in review. We regret that we cannot here make reference to each of our classmates but some few personal references we hope will be permitted. Did Bill Seebohm ever hear a question the first time it was asked or was there ever a question asked that Tom Pouch did not want to argue about? Will someone tell Judge Padgett what cigars are made of and where they may be purchased? Will Squire Brestel be as friendly after being elected City Solicitor of North College Hill as he is now? And will Mr. Klatch, QB. 'U Herr Barnstorff and Ralph Schubert always be ready with an answer and a legal reason for it? Will George Heath and Gilbert Shaver always be Min the money? We hope so. Does Mary Bowman teach school for fun or money? And Irene Cole' man, may she soon preside over her own law oifices. Leaving these questions for Father time to answer, in closing, we dare the pref diction that members of this, the class of 1928, will gain more than local repute and will bring credit to the class and to our school. While we have been busy acquiring a legal mind, many friendships have been formed which will continue through life. Although our task here has been made harder by reason of the demands made upon us by our daily labors, we think appre ciation should at this time be extended to the Y. M. C. A., our school, for the opporf tunity it has given us to further our education. is Q 'run' fx,-1-'Q' A P' 'Sn NN ,tfllh .lu Y ff a L. fast. f: .. .sfcffl V- ,--W it P -s series e' .f . - ' iff- xv ie+ '-frees:fs v S gb 3.3-5-Qgfx. g .ff ' 'f4,,'gQTff'A'f-J LQ' 'Q5QT:jA'l7 El,-lfrfxjq Lie iY'e'-L?
