Job Corpsman to Exhibit
Paintings in Student Union
TONGUE POINT (Special)—
About 20 paintings by Tongue
Point Corpsman Paul McCas
kill, will be hung in a one-man
show opening July 5 at the Uni
versity Student Union gallery.
The exhibition, sponsored by
the Student Union Board, will
remain up until July 29.
The 20-year-old high school
dropout from Perrine, Fla., has
sometimes working all night to
achieve the results he wants. He
received a great amount of at
tention from both art critics and
Job Corps officials in Washing
ton, D.C., who feel he has an
amazing amount of talent for a
man so young.
Dale Owen, head of Tongue
Point’s art department, has stat
ed that in his 30 years of teach
ing art, he has had “many tal
ented and gifted students, but
few have shown so early the pro
fessional level and understand
ing that Paul exhibits.”
McCaskill is a prolific painter,
primarily works on 4 x 4-foot
masonite, mainly with inks, glue,
and caseins. On some of h i s
paintings, he has achieved a
“dribble” effect by using these
Girl Receives
Kerns Scholarship
Gwyneth Pieta Jones, senior in
art education at the University,
has been awarded the Maude I.
Kerns scholarship award in art
education.
The Maude I. Kerns scholarship,
which is administered by the Uni
versity Development Fund, was
established in 1964 by friends and
former students of the late Miss
Kerns, who headed the art edu
cation department at the Univer
sity from 1921 to 1947.
materials.
"Painting comes naturally to
Paul,’’ one of the Job Corps art
instructors said. “His works
seem to be the result of a keen
intelligence and strong desire.”
“I have always considered art
to be the profession I wanted,”
McCaskill says.
Like many youths who enter
the Job Corps, McCaskill has
his share of personal problems.
He completed the ninth grade
before quitting school (he is
now working toward a GED cer
tificate—the equivalent of a high
school diploma) and found him
self drifting through a number
of jobs, poorly paid, which
seemed to be leading nowhere.
He became interested in the Job
Corps program because, he said,
"Nobody wants to be a drifter
all his life. The Job Corps gives
you something to look forward
to.”
