Three Theme "All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts. Four Dedication "Wisdom and fortune combating together, If that the former dare hut what it can, No chance may shake it." Five Emerson D. Jarvis, Ph. D. Superintendent Emerson D. Jarvis has been head of the Bexley School System since January, 1948. He has won the admiration and respect of all who have worked with him. Dr. Jarvis is a graduate of Franklin College, Indiana, and Ohio State Universities. Dr. Jarvis comments: "All the world's a stage was never truer than today. Opportunities for learning about and understanding all people are increasing con­ stantly. Resulting responsibilities for critical judgment and constructive action create compelling forces for improvement in our ways of living. All the men and women merely flayers emphasize that each of us faces the task of discerning the importance of individual contributions to the general welfare of our nation and the individuals in it. The greatest fight for freedom is to clarify thinking processes, apply knowledge to the solution of problems, and act creatively in terms of convictions. Worshipping at the shrine of criticism is for the weak. To go forward is to live hy building—new things, new ideas, and new methods of working with people, so that results are longer lasting, fairer to all, and more effective in forwarding the cause of freedom, with restraint." Six Clyde W. Jones, M. A. Principal Clyde W. Jones has completed his first year as principal of Bexley High School. To each of us, the students, he has become an unforgettable friend. He has brought with him many new ideas and projects which he has instituted with the welfare of the student in mind. Mr. Jones is a graduate of Wilmington College and Ohio State University. He enjoys collecting and refinishing antiques, officiating at basket­ ball games, and playing a good game of golf. Mr. Jones states the following about the theme of this year's Bexleo: "The world as Shakespeare knew it was only a minor production as compared to the great drama unfolding in today's complex civilization. The citizens of Shakespeare's day were only bit players on a small stage made so by geographic and political restrictions. What they said, how they acted, was of little importance outside of their small sphere. Today's drama is being enacted on a stage made limitless by man's inventiveness and ingenuity. The challenge to modern education is that it must teach tolerance and understanding to enable the new players to portray success­ fully the role of world citizens, and so to preserve those things we now accept as our birthright."
