The spirit expressed does not just include pep rallies and football games. lt expresses each student's goals and ideals. This spirit paints a picture of our hard work and determination, and of our accomplishments and defeats. A special spirit was expressed at a time when pride was swallowed and defeat admitted.

Mr. Louis Harris receives dedication Because of his devotion, enthusiasm, and in- volvement with Sam Houston, Mr. Louis Harris was chosen for the 1978 Cherokee dedication. Coming to Sam in 1971, Mr. Harris has taught four choirs each year. He has also been responsi- ble for many of the musicals performed on stage. Last spring he helped organize the Miss Texan Pageant, a new activity, which emphasized talent during the two nights of competition in March. Mr. Harris is familiar to Texans, not only be- cause of his involvement with the choirs, but also for his support of school activities. Ftecently, the choral director has dedicated his summers to students, too. He organized Popcorn Palace in Lake City, Colorado. With a group of about 12 students, he performed shows for the playhouse 10 weeks during the summer. A talented composer, as well as teacher, Mr. Harris began playing the piano at the age of four. He has published more than 40 original composi- tions and arrangements. We, the Cherokee staff, award this dedication to a special Texan - Mr. Louis Harris.
