As l am wriTing This. prisoners oT war are being exchanged in Korea. We are all looking Toward peace wiTh all naTions. This liTTle poem by Edwin Markham expresses my wish To all oT you. lT is enTiTled, OuT WiTTed. He drew a circle that shut me out- I-Ieretic, rebel, a thing to flout. But love and I had the wit to wing We drew a circle that took him in! Lawrence E. SmiTh l-laving been asked To wriTe a Tew words Tor The I953 Owl, my ThoughTs immedi- aTely Turned To a liTTle poem Trom which I oTTen guoTe a couple oT lines. l-lere iT is in Tull. recommended To Those young people who will Turn many Times Through The pages oT Their high school yearbooks. gMay l suggesT ThaT, if you will read iT Through ThoughT- fully a Tew Times, iT may exerT a proTound inTluence on your lives in The years ahead. MYSELF I have to live with myself, and so I want to be fit for myself to know. I want to be able as days go by, Always to look myself straight in the eye. I don't Want to stand with the setting sun And hate myself for the things I've done. I want to go out with my head erect. I want to deserve men's respect. But here in the struggle for fame and pelf, I want to be able to like myself. I don't want to look at myself and know That I am bluster and bluff and empty show. I never can hide myself from me. I see what others may never see. I know what others may never know. I never can fool myself, and so 'Whatever happens, I Want to be Self-respecting and conscious free. -Author Unknown. Your superinTendenT, ' J. W. Price
