Ross, a product of the Anderson High Scl 1 and Bailey Military [nstitute, emerged from the fog in the fall of 1923, and came to the lair of the far-famed Tig- er.

Although the ranks of the Education- alists were swelled by the addition of R. 1). . during the four years thai he has been with them, he has taken an active interest in anything that would help his Alma Mater. The disciples id ' Sookie wcri ' indeed fortunate to secure such a valuable addition to their number. The loss of him will mean the loss of a man who has tilled a place as no one else could have filled it. and one who has always been willing and glad to help others to help themselves. The best that we can wish It. I». is nothing more than he well deserves, and we have the highest expectations that he will make as much id a success of life as he has made of his college career. Chil- liest wishes go with you, R. 1». TAPS Twenty-Five
