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

In the capital city of Wfashington, we find our colleague, lVIr. Arey and his law-partner C?j DIiss Yungblut fgreatest patent attorneys of the agej arguing before the Supreme Court of the land. Upon the bench of this high tribunal sit some of our old pals, Chief Justice Davis, Justice Tichbein, Justice Rose, Justice Dressing and Justice Guild. WVe then travel to Hamilton where we find IVIr. Brate executing the duties of hfayor CBrate hasn't been the same since they removed his appendixj. blr. Nick Bauer as Justice of the Peace of lVIiamitown has done more for that borough than divorces did for Reno. Deciding to see a little of the Blue Grass state, we take a little trip to Frankfort and find Udy Bertelsman presiding over the Supreme Court of that state, and assisting him are Justice Keeler, Justice Drahman, etc. fKentucky law is now cited as if it meant more than some wise cracks taken from George Wfhite Scandalsfij lVIr. Cors and Miss Fehl are legal advisors to Ph. IVIorton, and know their g'signs like a deaf and dumb man. Carrier, Fast, Drake and Porter, after their course at the Y fBilliardj School are now affili- ated with the Brunswick Balke Collander Co. as billiard instructors, these gentlemen can do more tricks with a billiard ball than IVill Rogers can with a lasso. Tired of traveling we look in the IVhose IVho book of 19449 and find James Donovan listed as expert title examiner - Jimmie can tell a good title from a bad one like he could tell a good cigar from an El Ropia in the good old days at Norwood. Since my water bill fell due at this time I went down to the water works and found Joe Schwartz and Harry Feldman in the office of Chief Supervisors e- these men promise us more filthy CI mean fiiteredl water. VVhile at the city hall I learn that most of the men of the city council were in the old class of 1929, these were Caine, Krusling. Hayman, Roemler and Clark. Because I havenft been to the court house for a while, I went there and found the court of Domestic Relations now has two rooms to take care of its problems. Judge Al Fosco in Room No. 1 and Judge Catherine Staley in Room No. Q. How well these judges know and handle their subjects. Attorneys Selva, lNIcElfresh and Fallon being divorce experts, spend most of their time in these rooms, and their line of cases won, is longer than The Trail of 987 In the criminal room of the court house, we End Hurley's successor, Gordon I-I. Scherer, his honor is also a great vocalist and accompanied by some of his defendants, sings Four VValls,U All Alonef' g'lVIe and lNIy Shadow and a Bird in a Gilded Cage. Desiring a vacation we decided to go to Indiana and there who should we see in the Supreme Court but C. J, Frowe, Dick Finn and WV. B. Peterman, and before them are attorneys Gold- berg, Goodman and Gottlieb, representing the Ku Klux Klan, and asking for an accounting of the organization's funds from the defendant Louis Schear, retiring Kleagle. Coming back from Indiana, we asked the Railroad conductor who owned that road and was told lNIr. Green, Clifford NIiller and Joseph Donovan, Some Railroad Boysf, Feeling the need for a little change, we went to the Emery Auditorium where co-workers Aimee McPherson and NIorris Nogen were to lecture, the subject being Forced to Eat.Ham IYhile Kidnappedf' As we left the Emery, I noticed a poster advertising a coming attraction Bill Boettgerf' world famous piano soloist, and how that boy can tickle the ivories. The next day I went down to see my old pal Dick Rust, now president of the Union Central Life Insurance Co. This company really pays fast, A man fell off the skyscraper and they handed him his check as he passed their-office fioor. It sure makes me happy to see the successes registered by all my classmates and I realize that our work done at the Y was really worth-While. E 40
