Special Honor Mrs. Nell Saringer Retires After 20 Years “I have always felt that teaching was a priviledge as well as a responsibility. In teaching, one’s life becomes involved in many ways in the lives of other people. Friendships develop that last for years and memories of the successes and failures of students have gone. I just hope that in some way I have meant to my students a little of what they have meant to me. I feel blessed that I had the opportunity to be associated with the caliber of P.H.S. students, teachers and administrators that have been so much a part of my life for the past twenty years. I shall miss them,” said Mrs. Nell Saringer about her 20 years teaching experience. Mrs. Nell Saringer graduated from Mary Hardin Baylor College. She wanted to be a medical records librarian and receive her training in North Carolina. She got married instead and decided to get involved in the business world. Mrs. Saringer put her skills to work with Dr. A.J. Armstrong, the chairman of the Department of English at Baylor, while the Armstrong-Browning library was being constructed. Two children and three years later, she went to work at the University of Texas in the Department of Educational Psychology and earned her teaching certificate in 1961. Mrs. Saringer started teaching at Nixon-Clay Business College. After instructing for a year and a half she decided to teach in public high school and chose Pflugerville in 1963. When the Texas Education Agency started to require libraries in public schools, Mrs. Saringer assumed the position of librarian. Mrs. Saringer plans to retire at the end of the 1982-1983 school year. She and her husband plan to travel and develop a few hobbies. 170 Her students, present and past, will remember her fondly.
