Work is love made visible”— K. Gibran GENTLEMEN-EDUCATOR- COACH-FRIEND These four words describe the way in which the many hundreds of former Loyola College athletes and students remember Lefty Reitz. Few, if any, will dis- pute the fact that first and foremost he is a gentle- man, both on and off the athletic field. He is an educator in the ideal sense because he ex- erts a formative influence on the individual and the team. As a coach he built teams and he built them to win, but never at the sacrifice of sportsmanship or player integrity. It is hard to exaggerate the influence for good that he exerted. As a friend, although an adult, Lefty has been hap- pily accepted over the years by all the young m n EVERGREEN because he spoke their language. He Is a man who had a ready ear for a problem and who was ready to exult with you in success. In addition to being Athletic Director at Loyola College for 33 years, and coaching basketball and baseball, Lefty found time to become involved in many professional and civic organizations. His profes- sional affiliations are member of Athletic Directors Association, Baseball Coaches Association, Associa- tion for Health, Physical Education and Recreation, Past President of the Mason-Dixon Conference and three terms as treasurer. At the present time, he is Commissioner of the conference. There are many more facts and figures that could be cited about this man, Reitz, but they aren’t strong enough to picture him. Perhaps this is. When gradu- ates of smallish Loyola College look back and compare the advantages and disadvantages of attending a small friendly school rather than a large impersonal university, one of the advantages they must recall without exception is having known Lefty Reit;z. Few men have given more of themselves to any institution than Emil G. Reitz, Jr. has given to Loyola College. Under his influence boys have become not only men, but gentlemen. With love, honor, pride, and sincerity, we the Class of 1974, dedicate this yearbook to a great man, Mr. Lefty Reitz. 3
