kj F23 L Za - -3?-v' -v 5 u council, as well as our class meetings, we can best be heard to recommend helpful, useful, vital improvements. We have improved our time, having learned some things about the subject matter- title does pass, sometimes, and barristrers know the rules, while lawyers know the exceptions. We remained seated through unending exposures of the N. I. L.g we even agreed that Price vs. Neal is a case never to be made clearer by arguf ment. We believe that faith is the substance of things hoped for-the evidence of things not seen. We feel sure that he who comes into Equity Hrst must have used Lux. We've discovered the tie that binds in accord and satisfaction. Even the undivided half interest is to us as easy as pie, literally! We know the policyholder wins when he dies, all the while we live to love and learn to love to live. Some tell us the second year is the most difficult. We heard that last year, only then they called it the first year. Perhaps our informants refer to the first 40 years! By our works, we shall ,endeavor to help ourselves by helping others to realize what the world offers its people-happiness. Won't you join our jolly big party? Within the doors, unlocked, you'll find just friends. --Halen 'Huber 1 - L. .., . rs M.: ,Q ff A , Y wtf x .. - A YY., V Hx ff ff,-. ' -' : ff - ' ,-1? v P -ff-J 'K ' - .ff- 'GQ' e-'jf X- W ,T Q.

fu ll 925 f 5 I , , , cs is The Blggest Tlnng 1n Y Law fBei'ng tm historical sketch of the class of 1930, naturallyj ONSIDER, if you will, the largest group of reasonably intelligent young men and women ever having entered these noisy portals, young people, garnered from the four corners of the Earth, including Peebles, young gentlemen and gentlewomen whose tuition and intuition the Y receives with the greatest amount of pleasure. We have selected this creditable institution, inspirited as we are by the purpose of acquiring some fundamentals to enable us to incl the law after we are admitted to the bar. It shall have been our aim to reflect grace and credit upon those who can sympathize with us regarding human frailty, That the Y may share the glory we anticipate in rendering useful public service is a part of our ambitions. Before and after taking such legal medicine as th-e Y affords, we cannot be unmindful of the fact that over the other classes ours maintains the advantage. In numbers there is strength, the composite mental fecundity of the class of 1930 is surpassing. Let us therefore trust to encourage more scholarly effort, genuinely striving not only to absorb legal acumen Qsolely as a spongej but also to exude our accumulative fund of wisdom among our struggling, earnest classmates, so that they, too, may learn to live and live to learn. Let us hope to further stimulate good fellowship in the pastures earlier travelled as well as in the fields beyond. Having organized and adopted a Constitution-a truly noble document in itself -we proceeded to make history. We elected as our irst President one John Bland' ford, Director of the Bureau of Municipal Research, a worthy young gentleman and a scholar. Socially, we have a penchant for the festive board and we can dance, a la mode. It is our conviction that while we have l'It -when it concerns class spirit- nevertheless, class spirit is a community of interests. It is quite true that upon us, as Sophomores, depends the future of the whole school. Were there no Sophomores, whence could be Juniors and Seniors? But we like to translate class spirit into school spirit. We are a part, indeed a mighty important part, of the more perfect whole We are all, the four years group, of the student body. The potential strength of our union is a beauty that is strong and a strength that is beautiful. Dormant strength needs wakening. To accomplish worthy projects, now and hereafter, let us put our combined effort to work.

my-fJ'c?f..J S322 1'iIl'lC7S S C110 011101186 EFCRE the Cincinnatus Association and guests, on Tuesday evening, April 10, 1928, Mr, Alfred Bettman delivered an illustrated talk on Crime Conf ditions in Hamilton County and applicable elsewhere. In the course of his discussion, Mr. Bettman made public some worthfwhile rem-edies, particularly toward expediting and rendering more eihcient the technical prosecution of crime. Among his best recommendations were more thorough preliminary trials in the courts of first instance and elimination entirely of the antiquated grand jury system. In some of the photographic slides projected by the Bureau of Municipal Research were depicted 'scenes that really emphasize the true breeding ground of the crime germ. Specifically, we refer to those photos typical of conditions in Cincinnati's slums and tenements. Some folks tell us we have no slums, no tenements in Cin' cinnati. One might as well look only to the North and say there is no South. If we live on the the hilltops, we only know what the lowlands hold by entering and seeing what is there. Personally, we have seen these very conditions of filth and squalor, as they obtain today, not over ten minutes walk from Fountain Square, yards of rubbish, garbage and whatfnot, pitchfdark hallways, unlighted, ilretraps-playgrounds of tuberculosis, and worse! Past comment upon these things seems to have fallen upon too many deafened ears. So soon as we determine to make our slum districts impossible of existence, that soon will we have stopped most of the culture of crime at its very source. Cccasionally, we are amused to observe this individual or that group rise on stilts of righteous indignation because of some recent atrocious criminal act. What a hue and cry about the police, the courts, the juries, the lawyers and the crime statutes! Brethern, we must stiffen the punishment, put down the screws-so to speak! Why not a little noise about prevention? You can't expect to hatch pheasants if you try to fool the hen with doorknobs! We hear talk about the underworld Beauty and love and ability and worth are to be found wherever we choose to look for it, if we look for the sofcalled scum of society, we'll probably find it, regardless of geography-scum is not all at the bottom of the pot! Those retardant spirits whose will is set against improving living conditions among the lowly, in the Cincinnati slums, should be quite frankly and publicly exposed-to the end that we may sooner realize the greater community good certainly to follow a general cleanfup and clearfout campaign. least of our people among us are, in truth, provided with a fighting chance to improve When even the v V 5' e , a Q. 9,19 . 1' E ! gt K V 'N - aid fa 41 'Q' Gviil X 2 Y 'Cf' jg get E1 misss gg J-as ' LE
