Tribute Is Paid Blowing Rock
Teacher; Other School News
By MRS. LUCIUE LITT *
Blowing Rock. ? We are goinj
to begin our school news thli
week by paying tribute to an
other member of our school fac
ulty: Miu France* Snyder, home
room teacher for the freahmai
class in the high school.
This completes our tributes tc
the high school factulty and next
week we will come oil down the
line through the elementary.
Miss Snyder was bom in But
ler, Tenn., which is now Card
erview, Tenn.. and went to ele
mentary and high school there
being graduated from there ir
1947. She was salutatorian of hei
class.
Miss Snyder was graduated
from Carson-Newman College ir
Jefferson, Tenn., in 19S1 receiv
ing a B. S. degree in home eco
nomics and science. She wu
president of the Home Ec. Club
her last three years.
Attending summer school last
year at ASTC in Boone, Miss
Snyder is now in her second year
as a member of the Bit; wing Rock
high school faculty and is also in
charge of the cheer leaders in
the athltic field. Miss Snyder is
- the youngest (in years that is)
member of the faculty and alsc
is distinctive in the fact that she
is the only unmarried member.
Her wonderful sense of humoi
stands in good for her along this
line for it seems the undying ef
forts of some of the other mem
bers of the faculty to "marry her
off as they term it, so far has
been without much success. Hei
radiant personality and the fact
that she is very, very pretty,
could be the answer to her suc
cess with this group of young
people whom she faces from day
to day.
One of (our sisters, Miss Sny
der is the daughter of- Mr. and
Mrs. Glenn C. Snyder of Card
ervlew, Tenn. Her father is a
merchant.

Attention was called by Miss
Vance to the faot that two offices
are to be filled by election this
summer. Miss Smoot, who is

mittee, was not present, hence no
