ama A GREAT MAN is what he is because he was what he wa ? What can be said about a man who has devoted his life to the development of young, seeking minds that would express the esteem and the gratitude that he so duly deserves? This is a difficult task when the man is Lewis Eugene Smith, Mr. Smith's rewards come from knowing that he has played a part in the development process as a blossoming youth develops into an upright, contributing citizen. The difficult task is that being an upright, contributing citizen is a twenty-five hour a day job. For many years Mr. Smith has worked abreast with students and faculty members of Spring High School, and his love for people is reflected on his face by the warm, welcoming smile which one will always receive from him as he greets them. Since Mr, Smith first came to Spring in 1938, as a business teacher from Sam Houston State Teacher's College where he obtained both his Bachelor of Science and Master of Education Degrees, he has devoted many lorg dedicated hours to the | school and the community of Spring. He was the first organizing sponsor of the | Spring Chapter of the National Honor Society and in his early years at Spring, he was the boys' baseball coach. In 1940, besides the marriage to his beloved wife Moselle Sibley, who he met here at Spring, Mr. Smith was promoted to the position of principal where he‘per- formed his duties with unquestioning loyalty as he did when he was promoted to assistant superintendent in 1968. After all these years of dedicated services to Spring, he is now retiring. It is with deep gratitude and high esteem from Spring Senior High School that we respectfully dedicate the Roar of 1971 to Lewis Eugene Smith.
