A fallen Lewis player shows that volleyball is rough at times. Spirit obvious As gone forever were the days of standing up our teams on to an¬ other victory. As we became per¬ haps a bit more sophisticated, or perhaps just more apathetic- school took other forms, it was more suttle. But it was there when someone quietly cleared a sloppy table in the cafeteria, even with¬ out Mr. Life telling them to do so. It was there whenever anyone bragged about our unique sched¬ uling to someone from another school. It was there whenever Lewis was proudly represented in a Debate tournament, of a Latin or Beta Club Convention. It was there when we felt a twinge of jealousy towards P.H. —State champs. So if we felt any at all we expressed school Spirit in quite, simple, and more indirect ways, for it wasn ' t shown in pep assem¬ blies. Many Athletes told cheer¬ leaders if that is the way it ' s going to be forget it. An alumnus and Wolverine Chris John¬ son were part of the minority that showed school spirit such as at the bonfire. With knowledge that it breaks the theme of the book. The Pioneer Staff has given two pages for dedication for we felt this person deserves the best. Thrusted into a position of responsibility not known to many people of-his age, this person worked hard to improve himself; hard in a job that often brings on depression and little cooperation. Often the system and he disagreed and hefoundhimselfpowerless.Yethehung in there modernizing the school as much as possible. This man many times has gone unappreciated working year round and only taking a small vacation. While trying to maintain a strict stereo¬ type character in the halls one will find that behind the scenes he is quite witty and humorous, but too often he keeps it well hidden. It is for these reasons that it gives the Andrew Lewis Yearbook Staff great pride and pleasure to dedicate the 1973- 74 Pioneer to Mr. Garland Reeves Life. 7

Once he had a female faculty mem¬ ber chase all the girls out of the girl ' s bathroom during the middle of a NUf cafeteria, for it ' s their school and th must keep it in order. mod, on hand he had a photographer to record the chase. When the girl ' s asked for what the pictures were being used, Mr. Life replied, To send home to your parents, then turned his back and tried hard not to laugh as the girl ' s mouths fell to the floor. He modestly tells to any photographer taking a picture of him that as soon as it is printed up he will sign it for them. You will find that Mr. Life gets a big kick out of walking out into the hall and watching students who don ' t know him well run in the opposite di¬ rection. What he doesn ' t like to do is constantly remind students to pick up bottles and trays laying around the The Yearbook Staff would again like to congratulate Mr. Garland Life on his dedication and wish him the best of luck in the upcoming years. Mr. Life discusses the latest problem that has arisen with Mr. Campbell.
