Retirement Ends Teaching Careers Of Two Faithful Teachers-Combined Years Of Service Total More Than 80 Yeors MR. ERROL K. PETERS Mr. Errol K. Peters has served as Su- pervisor of Music at Emmaus for forty years. When he came here, the popula- tion of the entire town Was less than that of our present high school enrollment. Through the years Pop has organ- ized and directed countless numbers of musical festivals, school shows, and op- era and theater groups. Now Pop has decided to retire. His honors and awards are as numerous as his accomplishments and we, The Tat- tler Staff, can only wish him as much success in his retirement as he has had in his teaching career. Pop Peters was happiest when directing a choral or orchestral group. This year's Christmas program reached an impressive finale as the chorus sang traditional carols and gay arrangements of modern Christmas tunes with true yuletide spirit. Mrs. Dissinger showed a personal concern for each of the many stu- dents to whom she taught bookkeeping. Precise and exacting, she set high standards but was unfailingly helpful and fair. MRS. GLADYS B. DISSINGER Mrs. Gladys B. Dissinger began her career more than forty years ago by teaching grade school in Reading and Kutztown. After a brief period at Wil- son Boro High School, she came to Em- graus to teach business in 1925. She holds a bachelor's degree from Temple Univer- sity and a graduate degree from New York University where she is a member of Delta Pi Epsilon Fraternity for busi- ness teachers. Her varied activities include being a Past-President of the Pennsylvania State Education Association, a member of the Eastern District Ethics, Rights, and Competence Committee of the P.S.E.A., a teacher of an adult Church School class, a worker in Christian Endeavor, and a member of the Order of the Eastern Star. Throughout her many years of teach- ing, her inspiration to further her career has come from her husband and her pa- rents. , The Tattler Staff extends wishes for a happy and rewarding retirement. I2
