Everyday . -SKOSirJi ..:■.: ■ LET ' S DANCE! Here, cheerleaders Barb Short and Kathy Thor- ington decorate the school cafeteria for one of the year ' s many after- game dances.

This was only one of the many projects that the woodworking classes completed this year. GOING HOME AT LAST, remarks Steve Rinker as another day is concluded.

Nearly 2.000 people attended the dedication ceremonies in the newly completed Snider gymnasium. The key speaker of the day was R. Nelson Snider, in honor of whom the school was named. Mrs. C. William Richardson successfully captured the feelings of the parents and teachers on the completion of the building itself. She was chosen to represent the P.T.A. because of her presidency during the 1965-66 school year. Rick Baumgardner spoke for the student body and expressed the fact that it will work hard to repay the community for our fine school. Rick was the president of the Student Council. Mr. Lester Grile, of the Fort Wayne Community Schools, spoke of the challenge presented in the operation of a present-day school. These three people represented every group affected by the building of a new school, such as R. Nelson Snider High School.

Life Creates Variation for Pupils LOCKERS EVERYWHERE! This is what the halls of Snider might look like to an outsider, however, a great quantity of lockers is needed to hold the books of the 1 ,300 students at Snider. School is manj different things to every student. It can mean the anticipation of a coming game or dance, the hours of care spent on a special project, the challenge in a teacher ' s voice, and the rows of lockers lining the halls. Each student has a favorite haven: the library, the locker room, the publications office, or the music room. The time he spends there, learning and finding himself, is as important to his education as time spent in the class- room studying. To all Panthers, the sights and sounds of Snider will remain as tangible as a diploma and a gold tassel. Cheers rising over a football field, the odors pouring from a chemistry lab. the ticking of a metronome, the clacking of typewriters, a cough echoing through the auditorium, and the hush during a foul shot are things that will never be forgotten. Even though each student has his own goals, they will all be influenced by their experiences during their three years at Snider. It is up to every in- dividual to make this time as rewarding and enjoyable as possible for himself and his friends. ACTION. CAMERAS. This is what Miss Carolyn Amelung. French teacher, says as her class prepares to view one of the French conversa- tional films. They are a first at Snider this year.
