After graduating from Mars Hill, Lt. Scarborough com pleted his B.S. degree in elec trical engineering at State col lege in 1937. He worked for the General Electric company in Schenectady and Philadel phia and for the Carolina Power and Light Company in Asheville before entering the marine corps in December, 1941.
