0 etUcatitot , , DR. LEWIS J. CAREY “You Kids don’t know beans!”, is a phrase as familiar around lhe halls of SSC as its author—Dr. Lewis J. Carey. Doc” Carey, as he is affectionately known by the student body, is an embodiment of all the characteristics essential in an ideal instructor. Being involved in the cold, analytical, field of economics has in no way deterred him from putting into everyday practice those principles often so far removed from the practical world of today— principles of Patience. Understanding, and Kindness, seasoned with a good dash of Humor. To thousands of pupils, past and present, Dr. Carey has far transcended the normal duties of an instructor. He has ever been ready with a word of advice, a recommendation, or the utilization of his vast knowledge, in assisting a student to attain his goal in life. In the fashion of a true scholar, prominence in one field has not caused Dr. Carey to abandon his search for knowledge. He has an avid interest in medical science, and in recent years embarked upon a study of the Russian language. The voices of former students blend with those of the present day, in a unanimous declaration of thankfulness for such men as he. To ‘ Doc'’ Carey, instructor, scholar, and friend, this 1949 Gitche Gurnee is respectfully dedicated.
