Fulton Sylvester Childress..........................................................Greenville, S. C. Applicant for B.S. We have been indebted to Pickens County since December 3. 1888. when our classmate. F. S. Childress, was born. For seven years he attended the Maynard Community School, but after finishing his course there he realized that his education was not complete. The next fall he entered Furman Fitting School, finishing here after three years of hard work. Nevertheless, there was no break in his educational course, for the following year he was again seen on the campus, this time as a full-fledged Rat. After finishing the Junior Class. Childress accepted a position as principal of a rural school, but the call of Furman was irresistible. I oday he is one of our most dependable Seniors, and we are certain that he will wield a tremendous influence as a pastor. Page thirty
