Mary "Smoky" Felder, Loris, has
a progrom originating on campus
from Flinn Hall on Tuesdays and
Thursdays at 9:05 and lasting un
til 9:30 p. in. She is starred in a
radio show from Station WKIX
every day from 1:15 p. m. until
1:30 p. m.
Miss Felder says she plays "cry
ing in your beer music," strictly
lazy stuff. She plays popular mu
sic and some boogie but doesn't
like to play boogie because it takes
"too much effort."
Smoky played at WKIX when
she was here in 1946 and started
again in October.
She played in a club in Arizona
for the past two years and said she
enjoyed that very much. She told
of an incident which she consider
ed one of the nicest things that
happened, once when she was home
sick. She was playing Carolina's
Alnm Mater and an clderly gray
haired man stood up and sang it
all the way through. He came over
and asked her if she knew what
she was playing and she explained
that she had been a student at
Carolina. He told her that he had
graduated at the turn of the cen
tury and had been living in Cali
I fornia for twenty-five years. They
had a good time talking about
Carolina landmarks.
Miss Felder has been playing

Miss Felder's given name is

Miss Felder loafs while she's not
playing the piano. She was editor
of the Horry County News for
three years while she was in high
school proving that she hasn't lcaf

culiar glasses and cigarettes!
