Team Physician Receives Dedication from Staff The PIX staff dedicates the 1967 PIX to a man who has contributed countless hours of his time serving the stu- dents of Central High School. Dr. John M. Smith has served as Tiger team physician for the past twenty-one years. His father served as team physician from 1914 to 1936. Dr. Smith followed his father’s footsteps in 1946, when he accepted the non-salaried post ion at the request of the athletic department head. Dr. Smith is not only an active member of his profes- sion, but also has many civic and community interests. He is a member of the Rotary Club and was instrumental in the formation of the new Interact Club at Central. He has sponsored a Tigcrama Magic Show. The profits from the show went to the Tiger general fund. He is a member of Ring No. 29 of the International Brotherhood of Magicians. Dr. Smith’s wife currently serves as President of the Arkansas State Medical Society Auxiliary. His children, Doug, Don, Judy, Sandra and Robin, are outstanding rep- resentatives of the communit)'. Doug was president of the Central senior class in 1956. Don served as the 1958 stu- dent body president of Hall High School. Both sons have entered the medical profession. Judy’s swimming ability has earned her recognition as an outstanding amateur athlete. Sandra has her masters degree in physical education from the University of Arkansas. Robin, a junior at Central, is widely recognized for her skill in tennis. When asked about his feelings toward Central, Dr. Smith once stated, “We have some fine high schools in Little Rock, but there is only one Central. It’s my school.” It is with great pleasure that the staff of the 1967 PIX dedicates its book to Dr. John McCollough Smith who is an outstanding community leader and whose contributions to Central High School are unrivaled by any person in Little Rock. Dr. John M. Smith «nd hi daughter Robin, a junior, leave together after Dr. Smith viiitod school on official business. Dr. John McCollough Smith 12—Dedication
