He received his primary education at the graded school of that town, but his people moved to Rock Hill where he prepared himself to enter Erskine with the rest of us in 1912. He joined the Philomathean Society during his Freshman year and has always been faithful in performing her duties. He has been a consistent worker in the class room and is considered a snake in for- eign languages. He has always been an enthusiastic worker for the Y. M. C. A. and was elected Vice-President for the year 1914-1915. To attest for his popu- larity among his classmates he was elect- ed Vice-President of the class his Senior year. HD. Af, is always on the job with his cornet when any music is to be made whether it be on the athletic field, in the Glee Club or at the Y. lNI. C. A. He has an inexhaustible supply of jokes and the telling of these is his chief pastime. Love never crossed his mind until his Senior year, when a sweet little D. VV. VV. C. maiden pulled him into the swim. He went in head over heels, and realizes now that he lost many of the happiest moments of col- lege because he didn't have a giI'l. 5 l l I l l 1

Soon, however, the mother duck carried her brood to Little Rock, Arkansas, and it is from this mud puddle that the Ugly Duckling hail- ed when he lit in the bulrushes of Due West. He entered the Sophomore Class of Erskine in 1914 and since that time honors have fallen to his share like feathers falling from a wounded bird. Paul joined the Philomathean Society and was one of the debaters in the Semi- Annual of that society in his Senior year. In athletics Paul has been especially prominent. He played as a guard on the class football team for two years and made a grand center for the first var- sity football team that represented Er- skine. He has played center on the basket-ball team for two years and in his Senior year served as captain. Nlore- over this year he has thrown more goals than any other man and will be greatly missed next year. He has served as a member of the Y. lll. C. A. cabinet and was one of the readers in the Glee Club. When the class needed a sooth- sayer they elected Paul to fill this posi- tion. Paul is somewhat of a bear with the ladies and has had more ladies at one time and all through his college course than any other man in the class. Paul is a. Hail fellow, well met and you can never enter his room without finding at least half a score of friends there. But some how he manages to get up his lessons in the wee sina' hours of the night and is somewhat of 21 shark in the line of physics, chemistry, and geology. I
