Pix I.D. Opposite page: Everyone of us know of the little someone closest to his heart, his granddaughter, Casan- dra. We have also heard about his friendly turtle who has visited him each year for 15 years. Top: This is a picture from his earliest years of teaching. The most common site of Mr. Smith is in the midst of his students. Jesse Smith is one of the greatest men we shall ever know. We have felt his greatness in his love for us and we have seen it demon- strated in his love of Sod, his fellow man and his Country. As a master teacher, Mr. Smith has made every day a day of learning with an empha- sis on individual discovery. Without leaving the classroom he has woven the chemistry and physics of our very existence into the tapestry of our lives. He always has a warm greeting for us, and an optimistic forecast on the day. His educational degrees and certificates fill the pages of more than one book. His credentials were awarded at colleges and universities from coast to coast. Educators from all across the South have sought his counsel and many have tried to entice him to their districts. Possibly no other man in our community has been as lauded as Jesse Smith. Every major organization in Gonzales has been touched by his intellect and interest. What more can one be to a community than Man of the Year. He is head of the Science Department and holds, among others, the distinction of holding a perfect attendance record in the Gonzales Independent School District of 3! years. We want him to know that he is held in the greatest esteem with the deepest affec- tion. The magnificent play, Camelot, closes with Arthur saying . . . we are less than a drop in the great blue motion of the sunlit sea. But some of the drops do sparkle, they really do sparkle. Jesse Smith does sparkle and did, indeed, add that special sparkle to our sunlit years . . . sparkle that will never dim.
