as President.
Darlington. oy. Receives High
Honors.-9ther, fficers
Selected.
At a meeting of the senior class I
on Thursday moxning Luke Hill,
a Darlington lad, .was.made pres
ident. Since it is customary that
the president, of the senior clae-s
becomes president of the Atudent
boay, Hill will preside over the
student body this year.
Somehow we have to admit
that there are few men just as!
all-round as Hill. He can be
found on the athletic field, in the
society halls, in chapel, in the
Y. M. C. A., always enthusiastic
and energetic. He is one. of the
most popular men in coliege and
the stucent body will be pieased
to have as its presiding officer a
student so generally respecLed.
Luke was pre ident of the pres
ent senior L,LUss in its frchnan
year.
The other officers of the class
are: H. E. Danner, vice-presi
dent; C. C. Eliey, secretary;
W. J. ScotL, . treasurer; J. L.
Greene, historian; Demos Jones,
poet.
Our Assistant Ccach.
Harry Costello, the new assist
ant football coach at Carolina,
comes to us with an enviable ath
letie record. lie wa. a briliian'
st.r on Georgetown's eleven for
s-ne time. C;stello is credit Ad
with two of (o1getown's vie
tories over .\ irginih. He has
piaved :againa:t all the big teams
in t he N;rth and comes to us
highiy recinmendtd.
Out in the "stadium'' it is in
teresting to watch Costello at
work. He seems to in fuse into
his. men a sort of "pep" and
"ginger" that characterized that
varsity of ours of two years ago,
which took in a little outing at
the fair grounds and brought
hack the tale of 22 to 7. . He is
an energetic coach who puts his
whole being into his work. We
know he'll make good for every
body says he's a "ram."
The staf? of "The Garnet and
Black"wishes to.announce that,
with the help of butting "Ram"
Purdy, it hopes to push the work
to a successful clone this year.
