“Conductor Adds Toujch of Love To be a great conductor, one must have a deep love for his work and his orchestra. But to be loved by his orches- tra, he must be truly special. Because of his deep love for his stu- dents, and his profession, our " Sym- phony " is dedicated to Mr. Saylor I). Smith. Mr. Smith strove to make school edu- cational searching continually to find the best way to give his pupils the gift of knowledge. His ready smile and quick wit made each day in class a new experience, while his deep concern for his students ' needs made him their friend. Serving as advisor for both the newspaper and publications staffs, it was quite com- mon to find Mr. Smith spending many extra hours of his time helping the staffs meet their deadlines. Mr. Smith came to BP in the fall of 1976 after teaching for three years at Brea-Olinda High School. He adapted quickly to life at BP, and soon became the driving force behind the successes of BP ' s publications. While Mr. Smith is very important to those on the yearbook and newspaper staffs, he also plays a large part in the lives of many students in the Extended Day Program. There he finds great re- ward helping those students reach their goals. Outside school, Mr. Smith can b e found playing tennis, basketball, or just spending time with his two sons. Because he has a deep love for his work and his orchestra, Mr. Saylor D. Smith is our " Special Conductor. " ”
