had been reading some new popular
novel.

University, where he will later do
chemical experiments that will en-
able him to give to his country. and
the whole world, improved and new
methods in the industries where
chemicals are involved.
Campbell Laney will some day
wake up to the idea that the combin-
ed knowledge of mathematics and
chemistry and the art OF singing
might work admirably together in
falm life. He will think it worth
while to try the experiment for a
year. 1t will work so we'll that he
will prolong the experiment indeti-
nitely. In ten years from now, If
you should chance to pass by his
falm, you would probably see
A little farm we'll titled
A little. house well filled
A little wife we'll willed.
Your musical member has a bril-
liant future in store for her. After
leaving Cheraw High school, Burtice
Rivers will pursue her studies fur
ther by specializing in music. She
will reach the height of her ambition
in the position as director of music
at Salem College. She will soon find

In the political campaign in 1912
you need not expect to hear votes
for women for you will be given
your suffrage rights before that time,
but you may expect to hear on neatly
every tngue, the name of the woman
who does so much towards bringing
suffrage to the women of South CAR

class mate, Eleanor Gainey, will be
nominated by her party for Governor
Of South Carolina, and she will be
well fitted for the place after course
in law and the experience she will

qualified for this position as she has
been professor of foreign languages
in the University of South Carolina.
The lawyer of your class is readi-
" seen in Hen Ann Hickson. She,
too, will begin her life as college
graduate, by teaching, but this will
be too dull for Helen Ann. She then
entered the law office of Mr.. r. T,
CASTOR and later becoming qualified
for the bar, she began her practice
in North Carolina where she soon be-
came one of the leading lawyers OF
the State. She is spoken of as a pos
sible candidate for president.
Jasper, also, will attain the height
for which he is so diligently striving
Some day you will realize the signi-
ficance of your class when you hear
OF the noted Dr.. BrasingtOn who
thrusts aside all honols, coveted by
many or like profession, and goes tC
be a missionary physician in the
tropics of Africa. And you may well
be- proud of your classmatc when
you hear of the great improvements
in sanitary conditions that he has
made there. But you need not be
surprised to hear that love fuand its
way into the deep jungles and the
noted surgeon :. alried tn laughter
of an American Ambassador who was
once resident of Cheraw.'
One member Of your lass Will dc
