Lambuth College - Lantern Yearbook (Jackson, TN)

Page 22 text:

College ideally is a place to find oneself — sometimes in unexpected places. I some- times find myself reflected in the elements of the natural world. At times I am as opti- mistic and as bright as the sunrise; at other times I feel as lifeless as the leaves I crush beneath my feet. There are times when I feel the need to express myself in a definite concrete way; and it is then that I take my brush and begin to paint. Usually my paintings are creations which no one else really understands; but in each of them I see a bit of myself — in each I come to know myself a little more fully. Most of all, however, I find myself while being with others. People need people, and I am certainly no exception. Whether happy, sad, indifferent, or inspired, I always need to have the kind of people near me with whom I can share life . . . 18
