AS HE WILL BE 1925 : The events in the life of the next man flash quickly before my mind, and I now review the career of W. P. Anderson. Little Andy has developed from the brilliant (?) student of Economics and Philosophy to a power in the Real Estate business, and dictates his affairs from his private office on the nth floor of the Pride of Greenville — the Anderson Building. William early fell a victim to a wide spread disease contracted during his Sophomore year. His attack proved fatal soon after he reached seniority, and he can now turn from the busy marts of trade and find a solace for his cares in his handsome residence on North Pendleton, presided over by the former Miss (?).

AS HE WILL BE 1925: It is the year 1925, and ten pages in the book of life have been turned since we bade farewell to our alma mater. I, the Prophet, turn the time-stained pages of the PaC-SaC, and reflect upon the changes that time has wrought in the lives of the fifteen members of the class of ' 15. My thoughts naturally strayed to the alphabetical and physical head of the class, W. G. Anderson, who is now at the head of the class financially. Andy, after taking his major in base ball and Latin, became the drawing card of the Hodges Federal League team, until misfortune overtook him in the form of Cupid. He then abandoned base ball for dentistry, in which he perfected the famous Anderson ' s Pain- less Process of Extraction, (for extracting greenbacks from the pockets of his unlucky victims,) while he grew in favor with all his patrons by living up to his college motto, Keep your mouth shut if you have nothing to say.

WILLIAM CLARDY AUSTIN. A. B., CLINTON, S. C. Height 5 ft. 8 in. Weight 168 lbs. Age 20. Whence is thy learning? Hath thy toil O ' er books consumed the midnight oil?

AS HE WILL BE 1925: The fortune of a Peerless Leader next drew my attention, and I thought of W. C. Austin. Bill was the Peerless Leader of his class for four years at P. C, and later graduated with first honor from the medical school of John Hopkins. Just five years ago he finished a course in the culture of beauty at the Parisian School of Facial Embellishment, and today his services are eagerly sought by the belles of the now flourishing metropolis of South Carolina — Clinton. His masterly knowledge of Chemistry, and his exhaustive researches in Biology have been valuable assets to his much needed services.
