THE COVINGTON NEWS
Josh Powell — His Life
Story Through Tech, Emory
A former Georgia Tech bas
ketball player, Josh Powell, who
is now a prominent Atlanta at
torney, will be the speaker at
the Covington First Methodist
Church Wednesday evening, April
3 at 7;30 when a Youth Program
will be held.
Mr. Powell has been active
in Fellowship of Christian Ath
letes (FCA) work both at Geor
gia Tech and Emory University.
Mr. Powell’s biography tells
an amazing story of this man’s
climb up the ladder of success,
both in Kentucky and at college
in Atlanta.
This is a part of his life’s
story in his own words:
“It all began in December,
1940, in the little community of
Stanford, Commonwealth of Ken
tucky. For sixteen years there
after, no occurance merits spec
ific mention. I spent these years
working on the family farm ...
'biding my time, increasing ne
gligibly in wisdom, but abound
ing in stature!
“During that junior year in
high school, I first played bas
ketball competitively enjoying
only an ordinary high school
career. Upon graduation, twenty
four college coaches generously
extended athletic scholarships to
me. I finished that senior year
averaging 35 points per game,
chose Georgia Tech, and came
south to Atlanta.
“In many ways, my four years
at Georgia Tech proved to be
still another ordinary athletic
career, yet by other standards,
it has proven to be for me an
unprecedented experience. I suc
ceeded in winning a freshman and
three varsity letters in basket
ball...captaining the 1962 team.
Unapologetically, my academic
major was not engineering, but
Industrial Management.
“While a student at Georgia
Tech, I was involved in various
extra-curricular activities. Not
all directly connected me to the
school. In the summer of 1961,
I served with the Presbyterian
Church on the mission field in
Brazil having been sent by North
Avenue Presbyterian Church of
Atlanta. During the summer of
1962, I, accompanied by seven
other Christian athletes, toured
the rim of southeast Asia; more
specifically, the countries of Ja
pan, Formosa, Hong Kong, Phil
ippine Islands, playing basket
ball under the auspices of a
team termed “Venture for Vic
tory’’. We played to attract a
crowd. At halftime, each play
er would participate in a pre
sentation of the Gospel. This
was a remarkable experience.
“During those days while a
student, time which was not con
sumed by the hardwood floor
of Memorial Coliseum, or amid
textbooks, was pleasantly given
in service to the following or
ganizations: Ramblin’Reck Club,
Georgia Tech “T” Letterman’s
Club — President, ANAK So
ciety — President, Student Ad
visory Committee to the Presi
dent, Who’s Who In American
Colleges and Universities, So
ciety for the Advancement of
Management, Presbyterian Stu
dent Fellowship, Fellowship of
Christian Athletes.
AT EMORY: President of Stu
dent Bar Association, 1967, Co-
Chairman of Law Day Commit
tee - ’67.
“In March, 1963, I finished
Georgia Tech and spent the fol
lowing one-and-one-half years
working with young boys at Fritz
Orr Club-Camp-School. In May,
1964, that organization was sold
to the Westminster Schools of
Atlanta. In June of that year,
I began the ground work for
the JOSH POWELL CLUB FOR
BOYS. In September, that dream
became a reality when I opened
this organization for young
boys...an athletic club dedicated
to teaching young men to play
all games in the best of spirit...
in all areas of the game.
“During the fall of 1964, I
was enrolled at Emory Univer
sity School of Law. The boy’s
club endeavor was my means
of putting myself through these
remaining three years of law
school. Additionally, it was my
desire to leave emplanted on the
minds of these young lads, with
whom I was to come In daily
contact, some of the true rules
for today’s life. The club was
successful in providing my means
to a designated “end’’, but it will
require years of observing the
end product to determine whe
ther it accomplished Its other
predetermined purpose. My hope
is that the combination of law
