Local Teacher Honored
Paul E. Coleman, science
teacher in grades 7 and 8 in
the Donegal high school an-
nex, has been selected as a
superior science teacher by
the Pennsylvania Science
Teachers association.
He resides in Lancaster
with his wife, Lydia, and son,
David.
He was presented a special
certificate at an Annex assem
bly on Dec. 17 by R. F. Hall-
gren, annex building princi-
pal.
Coleman has a teaching
record of fifteen years in the
schools of Pennsylvania. He
had his teaching interrupted
by World War II when he
served in the armed forces
and then upon discharge he
went into the business world.
He was working in industrial
chemistry when he decided
that he wanted to get back
into teaching at Donegal.
He has taken various grad-
uate courses and summer
programs and has attended
various workshops and insti-
tutes so that he has kept con-
stantly abreast of new devel-
opments in science teaching.
He has travelled and taken
college work throughout the
United States.
Since his arrival at Done-
gal the school science pro-
gram has been constantly im-
proving. His junior high
school science room is prob-
ably the best equipped junior
high school science room in
Central Pennsylvania. This
equipment was aoproved for
purchase by the School Board
and administration because

ing their absence, Mrs. Nis-
sley has been cared for by
another granddaughter and
her husband, Rev. and Mrs.
J. E. Leatherman, returned
missionaries, from Africa.
Mrs. Nissley recalled for a
Bulletin reporter this week
that she was born in the big
brick home which stood until
recently where the E. U. B.
church parsonage is now lo-
cated on Mount Joy's Main
street,
However, her father
mother both died while she
was very young and she was
raised by her grandparents. li
Her grandfather was Gabriel
Bear, who had built the brick’
home and who also had built
the mill
now owned by Spanglers. |
Mrs. Nissley'’s husband, |
Amos R., died 40 years ago.
Why has she lived to such
an unusual age? Her rane),
son-in-law suggested the the
ory often used facetiously |
might well apply — a chronic
illness and diligent attention
to caring for that illness. |
Mrs. Nissley never, appar-
they realized that they had a
dedicated teacher who would
make good use of this mater-
ial in the science classes. All
of the Science Fair winners
from Donegal at county level
or above, had Coleman as a
teacher at some time in their
school life.
Coleman has been science
teacher in the Annex building
since it was opened in Sep-
tember, 1961. He taught at
the high school building for
several years before this
when grades 7 - 12 were all
there.

Keener.
She is a member of the
Mount Joy Mennonite church

Garber, and Charles H. Nis-
