“The girls are all evincing decided interest in their coming part in the “Road Show,” said Stage Director Edgar Hansen; “and we expect them to offer some extremely snappy and pleasing numbers to the patrons of the Senior Show.”

He is sport editor on the El Rodeo this year.
Carle, known as “Willie Live,” came to IT. S. C. this year from Kansas, where he was sport editor of the Emporia Daily Gazette. He is one of tiie best feature writers the “Trojan" has ever had, and is make-up editor.
