PRESIDENT Colonel James F. Risher Colonel Risher was born in Hampton County, South Carolina. Upon graduation from The Citadel he had to choose between a military career and one of teaching. Select- ing the latter, he taught in Colleton County and for two years was the superintendent of Ehrhardt High School. He began teaching at Carlisle in 1924, and four years later was made headmaster. In 1939 he bought Carlisle, which was under a Methodist Conference jurisdiction, and in 1959 he purchased Cam- den, Carlisle’s biggest rival. He has held many posts of responsibility and should be ‘Who’s Who” in anybody’s book. HEADMASTER William R. Risher Colonel Risher was born in Ehrhardt, South Carolina, in 1927, attended grade school in Bamberg, and graduated from Carlisle in 1944. He went to college at The Citadel, and upon graduation in 1947 attended the University of North Carolina for graduate work. He began teaching at Carlisle in 1948, and became headmaster in 1958. Col. Risher is very active in all community activities, and we are very privileged to have such a man as our headmaster. 6
