Student writes Catamounts poem Dear Editor: 1 would like to forward this message to the Catamount football team, as a message of encouragement and support. When things are not going the way you would like them and seldom is heard an encouraging word, sit down and think about w hat this poem has to say. If you think you are beaten, you are; If you think you dare not, you don't. If you'dlike to win, but think you can't It's aTmost a cinch you won't. If you think you'll lose, you've lost. For out in the world we find Success begins with a fellow's will; It's all in the state of mind. If you think you're outclassed, you are; You've got to think high to rise. You've got to be sure of yourself before You can ever win a prize. Life's battles don't always go To the stronger or faster man. But soon or late the man who wins Is the one who thinks he can. Think Positively Sincerely Harvey N. Walker. Jr.
