JAMES PAUL CHILDRESS Grkenvii.i.e, South Cakoi.ixa On October 22, 1901, at Pickens, South Carolina, within sight of the impressive peaks of the Appalachian Mountains, James Paul Childress began life. After sundry studies carried on in the Perea High School, the Central High School of Greenville, and the Mauldin High School, he entered Furman University. He made good, and is assistant in the Department of Chemistry. According to his own account, he intends to “instruct unsophisticated bucolic individuals in the elementary rudiments of learning.” We add that by a dexterous philological transmogrification this Hrohdingnaginn assertion may be rendered in the vernacular by— “teaching in a country school.” Member Sigma Section Phllosopliian Literary Society; Member Class Football Team '12-'13: Member Relay Team ‘12-‘13: Winner of Mile Race '12- 13; Manager Track Team 13- H; Member Furman Council.
