I am the pride of a family and part of a home. I love my life as you love yours. I am a youth in years and experience in life, I am a gambler, betting the highest stakes that a man can wager—my life. I win, you win; if I lose, I have lost all. The loss is mine, not yours. I ask only for the Godspeed and support of my nation in return for laying upon the al- tar of my country my all. For bravery and blood will you furnish bullets and bread? Will you pawn your shekels if I pawn myself? Will you bet your gold while I bet my blood? Will you hazard your wealth while I risk my life? I am the American Soldier. I am the Boy in the Trenches . --------Author Unknown We have several young men who are graduates of our school or are from this area who have either served or are now serving in the Armed Forces. The students and faculty of Smithville High School are taking this opportunity to ex- press their gratitude to these men who are defending our country to make it a safer place for us to live. It is for this reason we are dedicating our 1968-69 school yearbook THE BRAVE to all these boys. The following people are among those from this area: Gene Williams Danny Webb Jerry Bowen Gary Hartley Paul Cook Gavin Samuels Johnny Johnson James Harley Lolin Ludlow Mike Huff Wallace Goings David Williams Delbert Shelton Alex Tunnell Bill Coleman E.
