And most assuredly we owe this fellowship to Andrew Smith, who was loved, honored, and re spected by all who knew him. And who taught many of us to thumb a reel and tie a leader. “In years to come, passing this way with those who are too young to know, we shall pause, and point ing with pride to this well, shall tell them the story of Andrew Smith. For this story speaks to all of us: ‘Grow clean and straight and strong. Be a Good Sport”. Let me live, O mighty teacher, Such a life as men should know Stressing loyalty as a feature, With joy—not to much of woe. \ Let me run the gamut over, Let me fight and love and laugh; And when I’m beneath the clover, L&t this be my epitaph— Here lies one who took his chances, In the busy world of men; Battled luck and circumstances, Fought and fell and fought again; Won sometimes, but did no crowing, Lost sometimes, but did not wail.. Took his beating, kept on going, Never let his courage fail. He was fallable and very human, Therefore, he loved and understood Both his fellow men and women, Whether good or not so good. Kept his spirits undiminished; Never false to any friend; , Played tho game until it finished Lived a sportsman to the end. FOR ATHLETES FOOT USE T-4-L BECAUSE v„*uas i£e?t!r PEltktilATING POWER.
