Walter Snyder, shown during an interview in his office.
Dr. Snyder, an Oregonian who has worked wjth education
In the state for the past six years, says that so far, his job
has proved "exciting."
Superintendent's Job Is
Wonderful, Snyder Says
Though he admits his job de
mands he be something of an
architect, a financier, a busi
ness man and a scholar all In
one, Walter Snyder, serving his
first year as superintendent of
schools in Salem, describes his
job as "wonderful." .
Army Unable
To Use All ROTC
Washington iff) The Army
said Monday it may not be
able to commission all students
graduating in 1955 from its re
serve officer training corps.
It expects, however, to be
able to take in as officers all
those completing the KOTC
training course during the
1953-54 college year.
.The 1835 graduates who are
not offered commissions will
be subject to the draft, the
announcement said, but will
receive snecial treatment if
they are drafted: Details of the
special treatment have not yet
been worked out.
There is no assurance, the
Army added, that 1955 gradu
ates who are commissioned can
be assigned in the branches
they choose. Assignments will
depend on the number of of
ficer vacancies existing at the
time.
Those who will graduate in
1955 will start thist fall the
twn.vear advanced ROTC
training course which normal
ly leads to a second lieuten
ant's commission.
Bike Safety Rules
If you ride a bicycle follow
these simple rules to safety-first.
PROTECT YOURSELF AT
NIGHT Paint your mud
guard with white or luminous
(glow J paint, put on a red
"cat's eye to the right if poss
ible. STOP AT ALL ROAD
CROSSINGS!
DQN'T RIDE two or more
abreast, hang on trucks, or ride
double. Always keep to the
right!
jJEPLND ON YOURSELF
IT'S UP TO YOU. Don't de
pend on the vehicle driver's
skill. He doesn'v want to hit
you. but brakes don't always
work.
KLrZP YOUR BIKE IN
FIRST-CLASS CONDITION
all parts cleaned and greased;
chain clean and Just tight en
ough; tires checked each week
ana inflated to the proper ca
pacity. LEARN AND USE HAND
SIGNALS.
After all, your safety is your
business. If you're skillful and
smart enough to be careful,
you'll get along. If not you
had better walk.
Dr. Snyder took over the
school job on Dec. 1, 1952, when
the then superintendent, Frank
Bennett, was called to the presi
dency of Eastern Oregon Col
lege of Education.
No stranger 'to educational
work, Snyder taught for 'more
than 15 years before he took a
job as director of curriculum
in the Salem schools in 1846.
After a six-year stay in this de
partment he took over his pres
ent position. - ,
Born in Brownsville, Dr.
Snyder attended schools "all
over Oregon." His father.
traveling minister, took his
family through Portland, Pen
dleton, Chicago, 111., and Cor
vallis.
After this rather "broad'
elementary education, Snyder
took a degree at Oregon State
college. His first job was at
Myrtle Creek school in south
ern Oregon. "It was.wbnder
ful in those days, he com
ments. After three years he
moved to Monroe as principal
where he spent "six very pleas
ant years." La Grande claimed
him next and there he stayed
until coming to Salem in 1938.
. During this time Snyder
managed to collect a master's
degree in education after work
at Stanford university, and
eventually took his doctor s de
gree from the University of
Oregon in 1951.
Though he says "I don't know
of any place I .haven't enjoyed
living," he admits he finds Sa
lem "particularly interesting.
His job, as he describes it.
is to assume "the over-all re
sponsibility for operation of
the schools." This means ne
must work with the school
board to formulate polioies, to
maintain ' and improve good
working conditions and he
"boss" over all the school em
ployes in the district
Right now, he says, the two
biggest problems the school
faces are proper facilities for
increasing enrollment and the
need for a constant supply of
competent teachers.
The school business, how
ever, says Dr. Snyder, is not
all big problems, it has its light
side, too. And he tolls the tale
of recently running into an ex
student who spoke to-him for
the first time in over ten years.
Seems that, as a student, the
young man had picked up the
neat trick of running over the
roof of the gymnasium at the
i Myrtle Creek school during
important rehearsals or assem
blies. Snyder caught him, and
after applying what ne ae
scribes as "annropriate" meas
ures, was rewarded with a vin
dictive silence not broken for
ten years,
