Snyder High School students are indeed fortunate to have the privilege of attending classes in our new building and to have the advantage of an enriched curriculum and the variety of plan- ned activities such as the ones found here. The windows of knowledge and the windows of opportunity have certainly been open to students of S. H. S. We of the Tiger's Lair staffhave pointed our camera toward the windows of Snyder Highg we have r e c o r de d what we have seen and what we have heard around S.H,S. in '53-'54, We hope that the record we have made will bring back fond memories to you in the years. to come.

Through the windows of different club rooms and other places around the school one could see students working diligently at tasks to which they gave their untiring efforts and energies. A wide variety of clubs and activities were or- ganized andprograms were planned and carried out by the students. There was a place for all people who wanted to participate in extra-curricular activi- ties. Our students showed that they will be able to handle the problems which may confront them as adult citizens. Grgcmizcztions and Features Tiger's Lair Staff In order to meet deadlines, much depended on the way the editor,sponsor,and business manager planned the activ- ities.

Snyder High School's bi-weekly publication, Tiger's Tale, kept the students informed on all the school activities. It is a bi-weekly digest of news and interesting events published by the high school journalism staff, under the direction of Mr. - Pruitt. The staff prints the activities around S.H.S. down in black and white so that they can long be remembered. Planning and carrying out the work involved in editing the Tiger's Tale, are the duties of the editor, business manager, and sponsor. Mary Stinson,filling the top position as editor, accepted the responsibility and carried out herjob inabusinesslike manner. Mr. Frank- lin Pruitt directed the publication for the second year in Snyder High. Under his capable direction, the students prepared themselves for the field of journalism. Elizabeth Dabbs, business manager, put in many hours selling ads and seeing that they are put in the paper correctly. 40 if Z h Ti er's Tale' Pub is 1 hed bY the lion-1 link Shown at right are: Charlotte Colley, exchange editor, Bettie Estes, society editor, Robbie Pratt, exchange editorgand Carolyn Sturdivant, a s s i s ta nt society editor.

This way they have a s p e cial opportunity to become ac- quainted with the student body while working on the paper. 41 'ia V. 1. , ..
