Legal Ladder

THE boy of to-day is the man — and the leader — of to-morrow. In ticking off the younger legal luminaries who are at the present time setting out on the professional road to fame, one might see Percy Keesing's name among- the chosen few.' One time of Gilmour and Keesing, Wellington, he has now set up m practice as a barrister and solicitor on his own account. No doubt, should you ask him, he would tell you that his one aim m life is to reach the top of the professional ladder upon which he has placed his feet — and which he bids fair to mount m quick time. Son of an old identity and respected citizen of Percy received his education At the Wanganui Collegiate School, but the finishing touches were applied at Wellington's Victoria College. . Before he decided that Wellington was the place m which to air his talents he lived under the " parental roof m the river city and m his spare time was a keen and enthusiastic member of the Wanganui Rowing Club. Now, down m the hub of things, he has been connected with the Star Boating Olub these six or seven years.
