K -iJ- r THE. DAILY MISSOUBIAH, FBIDAI EVENING, SEPTEMBER. 7, 1917. Page Six fj ',- , r-. w? I fr AFTER TWENTY YEARS Hallsville Banker to Study at University During His Leave of Absence. TO ENTER THIS FALL t . Same Studies He Abandoned as a Boy Now to Be Re sumed by Him. Twenty years ago, when university educations were not considered so es sential for future business success as they are today, Dave B. Carpenter, a Centralla boy, who had "tried col lege" for a yea-or so, decided that he had received enough training at the University of Missouri. So he re turned to his home In Centralia, later to enter the bank of Hallsville. In later jears he became the bank's cashier. Next week, with lS-year-old fresh men and the numerous sophomores. juniors and seniors who come back to Columbia, there will be waiting at the registrar's office for enrollment blanks, one David B. Carpenter, no longer Dave Carpenter of Centralia, but now David B. Carpenter, success ful banker of Hallsville. Mr. Carpenter's "come-back" to the University is after one of the longest periods of absence on record at the office of the alumni secretary. Stu dents have been known to return after several years' absence, but never before In the history of the school has the longing for "Old Mis sou" remained and triumphed after twenty years. Mr. Carpenter has been in active charge of the Hallsville Bank for a number of years, and the leave of ab sence for one year was granted at a recent meeting of the board of di rectors as a reward for faithful and efficient service. Mr. Carpenter will take up the same studies he left twenty years ago. and, according to reports from Halls ville, he intends to be a loyal Tiger rooter at the football games, join in all the mass meetings and, in short, lose out on none of the college spirit that he might find here.
