had It is not unusual to be walking past room 220 and hear an explosion or smell a foul odor. One may even receive an electrical shock by shaking hands with a seemingly friendlyl' chain of people extending from the room. Such occurences are characteristic of Mr. Lloyd Meech's chemistry classes, they are supplementary demonstrations organized by Mr. Meech to enhance the students' educa- tion, as a spare time entertainment or, occa- sionally, as a practical joke. If you were to ask one of Mr, Meech's stu- dents why he is deserving of the dedication, they might quote him by saying, It's funda- mental. Lloyd Meech is a sincerely dedicated man. His scholarship, expertise, forbearance and quick, intellectual humor make him a unique teacher, respected and admired by all. Mr. Meech was born and reared in Cori- dan, Indiana. He received his Bachelor of Sci- ence degree f rom Purdue University, and came west to Colorado to earn his Masters. He came to South High in 1959 after teach- ing for five years at Merrill jr. High, and was selected to teach College Chemistry at South. Mr. Meech's dedication as a teacher does not cease when the school day ends, he has spon- sored clubs, is a faculty advisory board mem- ber and has contributed to the chemistry text book used by many South students. He has spent many summers enriching the lives of others as Well, by introducing chemistry study courses in Nova Scotia, Mr. Meech was pic- tured in National Geographic magazine, which his Wife claims caused her to come to Colo- rado to find him. In 1970 Mr, Meech was named as Teacher of the Year, a much- deserved honor. Mr. Meech enjoys gardening, photography and playing piano. When he is not commit- ted to his work, he devotes himself to his wife Pat and two daughters, Karen jean 16, and Sandrajean 12. When he finds an oppor- tunity, Mr. Meech retreats to the mountains with his family to camp or ski. It is Mr. Meechis ability to captivate the uninterested student and inspire the scholar, his interest in education, his precision and commitment as a teacher, and his wit and patience as a person that makes him an extraordinary man. It is as an expression of our thanks for his invaluable services to South that We honor him with our dedication of the 1976 johnny Reb. Lloyd Meech, Thank You!
