^ Large families are something to :
be proud of?and Vandy Fallaw
has every right to be proud of his i
10 children.
There's an old saying "cheaper
by the dozen" ? but Vandy will
readily say this doesn't apply to
education.
This year, he had three children
in college?next year there will be
four, and possibly five.
I Fallaw, who has been employed
by Clinton Mills since 1946, has
two sons and a daughter at Presbyterian
College.
Paul, 22, and his brother, Grady,
29, will graduate from PC this
spring.

two years. In 19611. he entered
the Air Force, and served four

Financing their education hasn't
come easy for the Fallaws. All of
them have had to work their way
through school.
Paul, who has worked part time
for CM for several years, devotes
much of his time to extra curricular
activities.
He did his practice teaching at
Thornwell last semester; this semester
he is teaching senior math
on a voluntary basis.
Recently he was named a deacon
at Bethany Presbyterian Church.
Judy works part time at J. C.
Thomas Jewelry.
Mathematics comes natural for
the Fallaw family.
Grady has been on the Deans
List every semester; Paul, the
last three.
Judy has a "B" average at PC.
Paul has won numerous honors.
He received the Neil G. Whitelaw
Physics Scholarship, the Founder's
Scholarship, and the Jean Kimberlv

Judy wants to become a high
school teacher.
Vandy's daughter, Edith is a
senior at Clinton High and will
enter Clemson in the fall.
A granddaughter, Linda Weeks,
who lives with him is undecided
about college.
Vandy has five other children?
Henry, Charles, and Helen all
Clinton High graduates; Betty who
lives in New York; and Debbie,
in the 10th grade.
The Fallaws attribute their education
to their mother, who is a
textile employee. "She's the real
pusher behind us," stated Grady.
The boys get their mathematical
knowledge from their father.
He knows figures well, although
he never finished but the 4th grade.
"I stayed in the first grade four
years; the second, three years, and
I don't know about the rest?but
I quit at fifteen and went to work,"
said Fallaw.
"No one knows how it feels to
know that your children have the
desire to get all the education they
can," stated Vandy.

David Gaskins is shown holding an
unusually large egg which his pet
chicken layed. The story is an odd one.
At Easter time David hatched a
chicken in a home incubator as a science
project. Just prior to its hatching.
David's father, Glenn Gaskins, injected
the shell with cake coloring and the
egg hatched, producing a colored
chicken. Then David gave the chicken
to Ernest and Lillian Davis. Recently
Mrs. Davis brought David the egg
which the chicken had layed?it measured
7" around and over 4" long.
