A 40--year teaching career has ended for Miss Elizabeth Neville who began her teaching in Eddyville and will now return to her home town in retirement.
For the past 14 years she has been an English instructor and Dean of Women at Norfolk Junior College, Norfolk. Before that she taught in and around Eddyville and in the Mother Catherine Drexel school in New Orleans, and at Waterloo, NE.
The Norfolk Junior College year book, "The Blackhawk", was dedicated to Miss Neville in its 1962 edition in honor and appreciation of her achievements in the field of English and as dean of women.
At Eddyville, she will be near her relatives -- two older sisters and three older brothers. And she will share with them family enjoyment such as the five golden weddings which could be celebrated during the next seven years.
At her retirement she told a newspaper reporter she as never had a ‘really bad student'. She doesn't thing young people have changed much in their behavior since she began teaching nearly half a century ago. But she does think they are better informed on international affairs now than when she began teaching. She praises today students, some of whom she says are more serious minded than students were years ago. They realize she affirms, that they know they must have a good education to get ahead in the world today.
