He attended school in the evenings while working in the day as legal secretary to Joseph J. Darlington, then a leader of the local bar. His secretarial skills must have helped him take law school notes, for a half- century later, as a sitting judge, he was still taking notes of oral arguments in shorthand. At the Law School-it had not yet assumed the more pretentious title of Law Center-he was active on the first staff of the Georgetown Law Journal, the Debating Society, the Morris Club, the members of which practiced brief writing and oral advocacy skills, and the Law School Sodality, an organization that actively combined the Catholic religion and the law. Upon graduation his peers noted in the class yearbook, Ye Domesday Booke, that he was "Young in limbs, in judgment old." The description under his graduation picture was quite prescient: He isn't very large-neither was Napoleon-nor is he very noisy, but the brain does not talk. He is familiar with the legal atmos- phere, likes it, and if hard work and good sense are due to win, Charlie will some day earn the deserved plaudits of a larger and more appreciative assemblage than ours.
