Much of Miss Glenn's early train ing - was taken from Madame Fe lice de Horvath, who has been for many years instructor in violin at the University.

Began At Chester "She has a charming personality," said she, "and her stage presence is the best, I think, that I have ever seen. She is entirely natural; no affectations, no stage mannerisms.

Last Saturday afternoon when the Enright Riders closed out their season with the Miami Hurricane, one of the players, a fraternity man, turned his atten tions to coaching the football aggregation of his Greek or ganization. This fraternity, in cidentally, has high hopes of reclaiming the title which last season was copped by one of the non-fraternity teams. The coach took a good look at the candidates who are giv ing up tea parties for T forma tions, and who are going in training despite the uproar created by the local soft drink dispensers. And, much to his dismay, he found he was in dire need of a center. The Greeks may have had a word for it, but they had no center for the coach. He had great fears that the weak spot in his moleskin mob would prove to be a football fatality,' that the Tornado Terrors of the tenements would once again cop top honors i,n the campus football league.

The Players were reorganized un der the leadership of Professor-M. J. Christophersen, new member of the faculty in the English department. This is their first offering-to the pub lic since the reorganization at the be ginning of the year. A great deal of work has been put into the prepara tion, with all members of the club participating in some phase of pro duction. Anderson Plays Lead "Captain Applejack" is a melo drama, an "Arabian Night's A'dven ture," full of action, of comic yet exciting situations. Featured in the title role, and appearing in both of the casts, is Dick Anderson. His is the part of an English country gen tleman, a quiet. settled bachelor ap proaching middle age. He leads a quiet, simple life; until the discov ery of mysterious secrets about the old manor-house, in which he lives, (CONTINUED ON PAGE 6) Five Students Make All A's Only One "Foreign" Student On Select List WVhen the September sun was shin ing just two months ago, 1,946 stu dents matriculated at the University of South Carolina with a more or less grim determination to bring back a report full of "A's", but when the November leaves had dropped and mid-semester reports had been issued, five students alone of that array of 1,946 had maintained an average of "A" on all their courses. These outstanding scholars may not be statesmen when they grow up, but they have carved themselves a place "alone", on the Carolina campus, al ready. To be specific they are: Ralph Simpson Beckham, a sophomore who takes arts and sciences and who puts his shoes by the fireside at' Winns boro; Charles Dunbar Black, senior, from Millettville, who has mastered that -ogre of dimension and calculus, Entifteering; Ralph Edwin Lee, Jr., a Commerce senior and the only out of state man to achieve the honor; Harold Ray Thomasson, a sopho more, also in the school of Commerce from York; and Harry Sylvester Williams, ace high nian of the fresh man class and pride of Bishopylle,.
