22 THE NAUGHTY-SIX CALYX MASON PRESSLY YOUNG. NVonderer at all he meets, YVon,dje,rer chiefly at himself, VVho can tell him what he is? 'MSM Mr. Young, the son of Henry M. and Flora J. Young, became an interrogation point in Due XVest, S. C., on June 26, 1887. He first asked questions in the Due lVest Academy of Mental and Moral Philosophy Cin other words, the Sabbath Sch.oolJQ later in the graded school. His college career began as a Prep'l but now he has climbed up to the Senior Question Box and fills it Well. His grand- father was for many years professor, also treasurer, of Erskine College, and architect of the Euphemian Society Hall, which is named in honor of his Wife. Mr. Young is a member of the Euphemian Society. Cupid's darts have never pierced his heart, for it is too thickly coated with a love for organic chemistry. M. P. YOUNG . 7031 I1 - r- Lx SQMQMN J4
