fi cfvxffxrfxfwa '2ff'.-SZ'-'fx I! X51 Class Will By SoL GOODMAN, ,Q9 We, the class of twenty-nine, having enjoyed our law school term and about to quit the premises, mindful of all the good we have collected during our period at the school, and aware of the certainty of completion, we hereby depose of all our accumulations to the successors predestined to follow in our footsteps. ITEM ONE All our Estates being but for years we can devise none greater. To t.he freshman class, being the direct issue of a class now in being and therefore permitted to inherit in spite of the statute against perpetuities, we hereby give, devise, and bequeath: CU Mr. Elstonls lectures on Criminal Law, keep them dear and near to your heart for you may need them some day in order to keep undone what he has done and save the liberty of Remuses. CQD The property of Bert Long we leave to you in solido for we never enjoyed any part thereof. C35 Our favorite pet, the animal described in Davies v. Nlann, we rest assured that NIL Stevens will see you paid with this, our legacy. C45 Vile make you an Qffer of Nlr. Dempsey, your acceptance will become a binding con- tract, study the terms well. C5j VVe are hesitant in bequeathing to you Judge F. L. Hoffman, for perhaps we will have use for him in the atmosphere for which we now depart, but upon the basis of a revocable Agency we leave him to you. CGD If you are not made rich by all our bequests then also take Judge Blorrow, and his invaluable Common Law Pleading, this is a specific devise, for no value can possibly be set upon it. ITEBT TVVO To the Sophomore class for whom we entertain a tender feeling, for they are in such a piti- ful state during our last days, we devise and surmise the following: The disdain of weakness and undaunted confidence in their expansive and infinitesimal knowledge of law. hlay they enjoy the privilege of sophomoreship for a full year. ITEM THREE The law career's most precious possession, the juniorship at the school, we leave to you. Such a legacy would amply pay each legatee any and all claims upon our bounty. However we further bequeath them with: 38

.. ..w . i. in-1 A ,, A 'sci'-1. ,if f .X V,-I Arthur Daly, otherwise known as Pete, was put into office by his fellow Kentuckians and did remarkably well in organizing a green bunch of freshmen. A weekly paper known as 'The Trespassesi' was ably edited by Nfr. Davis, also from the Blue Grass state. YVhen the grades were finally announced, it was found that Bertelsman and Kruesling finished high for the initial year. So endeth the first year. After what seemed a very short vacation we started the sophomore year knowing all the law, even more than hlr. Jaffe from Columbia. The class was organized in the first month of school with Odis Bertelsman as its president. It was during this year that some of the Scotch brethren began to wonder what became of the five-dollar activity fee. Wvhen June came, but no annual, all admitted that the studies of the past year were rather tough except Solly Goodman who finished at the top. It was in the Junior year that the public force was brought to bearf, in spite of wills. The Junior class for the Hrst time undertook the editorship of the annual, Al !Fosco, the busi- ness manager, claimed that the student body swamped him with ads, but Katherine doesnit always agree. Some claim that it was a political annual and perhaps they were right. Sol Goodman helped keep junior tradition as president, finishing again as high man. At last in September, 1928, we found ourselves entering the law school as seniors, realizing how little we knew. After a hectic political campaign, E. P. Carrier was elected president, while a fellow countryman headed the Student Council. hTcElfresh edited The Trespassesf' which had proved an interesting as well as helpful class paper for three years. The Senior-Junior dinner was a real social function, CPD However, the annual law school banquet was considered by many the very best the school has ever had. VVe could not finish a review of the senior year unless we reviewed T he Big Review' pro- duced by the honorable Judge Gusweiler. The least one can say, in the vernacular, that it was a drag made much easier and more pleasant by the able Quiz King. Nfost of us will admit that Konjola cannot be compared with Gus' Quiz Compound when it comes to passing bar exams. Wiell, after all is said and done, one must admit that although the study of law at night is at times a tiresome ordeal to most of us, it has been an interesting and profitable four years. Of course some will say not only profitable to us but to the HY as well. even the cafeteria. hfany changes have taken place, most important, that is to Les Cors, was the fact that his wife was married. After the bar, one or two other members of the class may feel the same as Les. Last March, Brother Dressing passed out cigars and Brate wondered why. lNIany of the boys have become Kentucky barristers, with no hope of pardon. Boettger sold a piece of real estate and Nogen collected a bill, while Frowe stunted his growth by smoking. So the class of '29 leaves the school with hope and best. wishes for its future success, with appreciation and gratitude to the faculty and the Y BI C A. 37
