A .. ' i N ffga 1 ss'-X X: fir Class History GORDON H. SCHERER, '29 Experience has taught. students of history that an account written immediately following a certain period can hardly be called a history of that period. Time and observation alone can determine the actual truth of what has happened over that period. One can readily see that an attempt to write a history of the law class of 1929 a.t this time would be almost an impossibility. The most one can do is to record in calendar form the inter- esting happenings of these four years embellished perhaps with the writer's personal impressions. i To one not a member of the class of 1929, what is to follow will prove uninteresting. The Y 111 C A Law School is different, much different from other law schools associated with great universities and colleges of this country. Wle are unable to write or live over in the years to come the excitement, enthusiasm and glamour of the gridiron, neither can we boast of our base- ball nine, nor is there a memory of the last swish of the basketball game followed by a vibrating gym, the result of a one point victory. Then again, campus life and its incidents are something unknown to those who study law at night. However, it is certain that as these four years draw to a close, in spite of the fact that much which makes one's school life the happiest time of human experience is wanting, there is that something, that feeling of a work well done, a work, a study, a right to practice and to be a part in that great profession of the law, which is a far greater satisfaction than one would realize at first thought. It is that feeling, that satisfaction, which a lawyer with a lawyer's heart and mind alone can feel. So it was in September four years ago that the class of 1929 comprised of about sixty stu- dents frorn greater Cincinnati entered the Y lVI C A for the first time as neophites in the study of the law. Students from all walks of life g perhaps no other school could claim a student body such as this. 1Vhen one considers the ages in this group varied from eighteen to forty, that some had not only one but two or three children, that some were college graduates and others entering with only a high school diploma, when one considers that the vocations of this student body included school teachers, law clerks, salesmen, bond and real estate brokers, mechanics, accountants, and printers, surely one can say it is a distinctive group. It was this body that adjusted itself to the common task of coming to the Y M C A three nights a week and being exposed to criminal law and the police department as cross-examined by Charlie Elston, followed by Mr. Taft and his bundle of sticks. The second hour on VVed- nesday night we heard what Judge Story said about the last clear chaneew as taught by Pro- fessor Stephens, Ha good lawyer too. Friday night was just different, Judge Hoffman brought everything within the scope, while Judge Nlorrow, at that time known as Tom, made the 147th infantry look bad when the back row udemurredf' It was at the Freshman-Sophomore banquet tl1at we began to go places and learn things. First, that Sophomores at a night law school are no different from sophomores at any other school. They just are and thatfs all. Secondly, that our able Dean could tell the same story at least twice, and that he knew that the Y served Krogefs ten cent peas. 36
