Me Winds of Fate One ship drives east and another drives west With the selfsame winds that blow. 'Tis the set of the sails And not the gales Which tells us the way to go. like the winds of the sea are the ways of late As we voyage along through life: 'Tis the set of a soul That decides its goal, And not the calm or the strife. Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Dr. Williolm B. Edwards.. Alumnus who has made the most out- standing contribution to education. OHIO UNIVERSITY Dr. William B. Edwards took the helm of the Lakewood Public School system in 1956. With an eye on the future, and with one goal in mind-to give all Lakewood students the best in education- Dr. Edwards worked unceasingly. Active in civic affairs, he was well known not only in Lakewood but throughout the entire nation and even the world for his educational ideals. In 1960, he was one of forty school administrators chosen by the United States Department of State tow spend seven weeks in Europe under a Fulbright Scholarship studying educational, economic, and social systems. In 1964, he made another tour of inspection to Europe sponsored by the Educational Research Council of Cleveland. During the summer of 1964, he was a John Hay Fellow in humanities at Williams College. He always shared his experiences with colleagues, students, and community groups whenever it was at all possible in any feasible manner from personal discussions to television panels and a series of editorials in the Lakewood Post. Above all, Dr. Edwards had a profound interest in every student as an individual. When he died, every student lost a friend. His inspiration is his: legacy to all his friends. Dr. Edwards is honored at school memorial service So teach us to number our days, that 'we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. BOOK OF PSALMS 90:12 Page 7
