‘JL’ Brought From ‘Behind the Scenes’ Each year, the Warrior yearbook honors an outstanding educator at LFO — one whose dedication, skills, and regard for students are recog- nized and respected by all. This year’s choice works long hours be- hind the scenes, his dedication often unknown, let alone recognized. This man shows his love and belief in us, as students, in many ways. As a sci- ence teacher, he exerts himself to help students understand the princi- ples of anatomy and biology. He is the yearbook darkroom adviser where, for six years, he has sacrificed time and energy to teach, guide, and help photographers to be their best (such as staying at school until one in the morning to develop pictures needed the next day!). He sponsors the Photography Club, the “Shutterbugs,” and he is a friend to anyone in need of a smile or en- couraging words. Yes, we dedicate Warrior ’83 to you, Jack Leather, with much love. Clockwise, JL is seen at his desk, receiving dedication plaque, yelling “Geronimo while jumping into his pool, watching quitely from behind the scenes, typing blood in anatomy class, and enjoying some “quality time” with his family.
