Harper, Anderson Are Remembered Among the names that will be forever linked with the early days of the university are those of Wil liam Harper and Anderson Cren shaw. Both men were from Newberry and Crenshaw was the first grad uate of the then South Carolina College and Harper was the first matriculate. William Harper's brother, Wesley, was the second student to gain admission, both entering as sophomores on Janu ary 10, 1805, the day South Caro lina College opened its doors to students. Crenshaw was admitted 21 days later as a junior. He completed his requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1806, but deferred the formality of taking his degree until the class of 1807 was graduated. That first gradu ating class had four men, all from Newberry. The graduates were Walter Crenshaw, John Caldwell, George W. Glenn and John Wesley Harper. Walter Crenshaw deliv ered the valedictory, then regarded as the first honor. Alumni Association records show that Anderson Crenshaw, the first graduate, left South Caroli,na and moved to Alabama where he served well as a judge. William Harper, the- first "man of Carolina" was the first presi dent of the Euphradian Society and the present day Euphradian Hall is located In Harper College on the north side of the horseshoe. Harper moved to Missouri after graduation and became chancellor, United Ststes senator, and a great pro-slavery advocate.

S By Seals Riffle The big news in 1956 fashions is the "sleek" look. The New Year will make big demands. on yo figure. The 1955 silhouette can best be described as sleek, smooth and slithery. No room for a bulge anywhere and especially not at the hipline. "The year brings the all-in-one look," according to a spokesman for New York Dress Institute. There will be no special emphasis on bosom,, waistline or anything else. A girl will look like she is tall and willowy . . . sort of like she's stietching. The figure will have roundness but none of that paper-doll silhouette of recent years. The hemline probably will be about one-half an inch shorter than in 1954. A girl will have her choice of slim or full skirts, but when there's lots of yardage, the fulness will begin below the hipline. There will be fewer belts showing In the new fashions-lack of them helps create this illusion of the long torso. To help create this sleek-as-a seal illusion, designers have taken the bulk from sleeves and height ened the neckline. Fabrics have smooth finishes, too, but 1955 will see a lot of double-surface effects -lace over satin, for Instance. The year is also expected to be one of fashion's most colorful with deep pastels, chalky shades and tones inspired by the Orient. Hats and Hair Because there's less dress, there will be more hat. Hats will be fuller and larger to provide balance for the rest of the sil houette. The Millinery Fashion Bureau said that fabrics such as organdy and satin were edging in on straws for spring and summer popularity, and that although white will be the leading shade, bright blues and yellows 'also would be popular. Hair will be longer. Charles of the Ritz said the new coiffures would have a little more bulk and fluff. Helena Rubinstein said no, they would be smooth and sculp tured to the head. Victor Vito predicted a new era of smooth bangs. The new year is not expected to bring any fads in makeup, al though one cosmetics house is promoting a three-toned eye sha dow. The pale, anemic makeup which the Italians introduced is not expected to have much success in America.
