The interview with Charlie Brad
shaw was quite different from any
that this writer had ever encoun
tered. In fact, most of the people
at the track meet wondered what
a steeple-chaser was doing on the
track. Well . . . it was yours truly
trying to catch speedy Charlie for
an interview. My horse was a slow
starter so I didn't get to Charlie
until the first hurdle.
Over the first hurdle, Charlie
was born. "Society Hill, South
Carolina. 1939" That's it, Charlie
boy, save your breath for the last
lap. Like most people Charlie
grew up. Like a true star, he grew
up eating Wheaties and shaving
with Gillette. Meanwhile he at
tended Darlington High School and
Wofford College.
Second hurdle. Charlie comes to
Carolina. But first the story of how
he got here. Wofford not having
a track team, Charlie trained on his
own so that he could attend the
State Freshman Track Meet. Hitch
hiking to P.C., where the meet was
held, Charlie ran in his high school
shorts and a Citadel T-shirt, but
even so, he managed to tie the state
record for high hurdles. All nature's
forces were against Charlie that
day, even the rain came down in
torrents. But Bradshaw came
through with flying colors and
Coach Baskin took it from there.
Charlie naturally accepted the track
scholarship that Coach Baskin of
fered him to come to Carolina, and
the following spring semester en
tered the hallowed walls of USC.
Once at Carolina, Charlie dis
carded his old way of life, pledged
Sigma Nu, joined numerous activ
ities, and settled down to studying
and enjoying life. Charlie was re
cently rewarded for his numerous
activities by being elected to Who's
Who In American Colleges and
Universities. Among the activities
that Charlie has been associated
with are Student Council, State
Student Legislature, Orientation
counselor, and Captain of the Track
team. He has been Secretary
Treasurer of the Block "C" Club,
and chairman of the Student Dance

is majoring in marketing, and plans
to graduate this June. After that
he "plans to just goof-off this
summer" before entering the Marine
O.C.C. training corps. For the next
three years the only running that
Charlie will do will be for the
Marine track team. After his
stretch in the service Charlie thinks
he will either go into salesmanship
or management, but hasn't really
decided. He will jump that hurdle
when he comes to it. Right now he

ber. Then there's the time that on(
of the house mothers almost had to
have a new door put on the dorm
because Bradshaw almost tore it off
the hinges. That isn't as bad as it
sounds. Charlie was just rushing
out before they locked it. Then
there was the time that Charlie's
tux shirt wasn't ready to go when
he was, so he gave it to one of his
"adopted mothers" and she had it
fixed up in no time at all.
Fourth hurdle. Whew! "Horse
Bostick is really getting a work
out. The poor little thing ha.
never had to jump so many hur
dles so fast in all his life."
Charlie's family consists of a 15
year-old brother, a sister, 19, who
is married to one of those Clemson
people, and another sister in the
fifth grade. His family also owns
a cow, but whether or not Bradshaw
considers it part of the family is
another question. Like all red
blooded American boys, Charlie has
a "little doggie."
But dogs are not only man's best
friend, they are also Pam's. Seems
that she has a huge stuffed dog on
her bed named "Bradshaw."

ward Bradshaw, Jr. The loser, poor
little Bostick. Now that the horse
was so near to exhaustion, Charlie
condescended to jog him around the
track to cool him off. But instead of
being cooled off, Bostick gave a
moan and fell down on the ground
and died. Since Charlie was still
full of energy, he consented to give
Bostick a decent burial before con
tinuing the interview. "Thank you,
Charlie, Bostick always did want to
be buried by the person that outran
him."
After the funeral was over and
Charlie was in his usual place in
the lobby of McClintock, there
wasn't much left to tell the inter
viewer, so there was a period of
mixed emotions over Bostick's death
and the winning of another medal
for Charlie. He will add this one
to the others and Pam's charm
bracelet will have a new addition.
Among the medals that Charlie
has won recently is the one he got
at Chapel Hill a couple of weeks
ago, when he took first place in the
70-yard high hurdles.
Now that only future hurdles lie
ahead, Charlie, here's wishing you
lots and lots of luck. But please
from now on will you take into con
sideration the horses and don't force
too many of them to heart attacks.
Better still, just don't be interviewed
on the track anymore. And thank
you for burying Bostick. The only
thing that I'm wondering about is,
what people will do about that
mound in the middle of the track ?
