Ivan P. Schneck August 27, 1908 - November 23, 1963 Devoted . . . helpful . . . willing . . . kind . . . patient . . . understanding . . .fun-loving . . . friendly . . . these are a few of the descriptive terms characteristic of Mr. Schneck. He came to Northampton in 1942 after teach- ing in Slatington and Morrisville, with several years in farming and with the Pennsylvania Power and Light Company interspersed. Bookkeeping and Office Machines were his subiectsp in these he excelled, and the Safe Drivers Club he spon- sored was the forerunner of the Safety and Driver Education courses now offered. His great loves were teaching and the land, and we are fortunate to have had the benefit of one of these. ln the eyes of students and col- leagues alike, he was strict but yet very under- standing, he aIways had time for a laugh but page I7 afterwards he would get down to business, he was a kind man, a generous man, a sympathetic man, but most of all a dedicated man - dedi- cated to the teaching profession and the tasks before him. lf it's the last thing I do on this earth, I'll teach you bookkeeping, he often said - and this he did. lf he was sick, he worried more about his students than he did about his health. Even to the end, he was concerned about his professional work and his students. Mr. Schneck was a great man, not in terms of wealth, fame, or the other usual marks, his greatness lay in the devotion, dedication, and nobility he gave to teaching and everyone with whom he came into contact. He left an indelible mark here.
