IN MEMORIUM
Mrs. Phoebe Bobbitt Hoyle
Mrs. Phoebe Bobbitt Hoyle
came from a family that set great store by
education and academic achievement, and her did not fail them. She
graduated summa cum laude from the University of North Carolina, in
Greensboro, and earned election to Phi Beta Kappa for outstanding
character and scholarship.
A member of the faculty
of Newport News High School for many years,
where she taught in both the English and French Departments, Phoebe Hoyle
will long be remembered and missed by her students and
professional associates.
She took an inordinate
pride in her attractive classroom, the efficient
order of her desk and files, and the careful organization of her work.
Any substitute teacher found it an easy pleasure to take over during
an absence!
She had a special talent
for understanding and helping the slow-learning
student. By her kindness, infinite patience, and unique approach to their
individual problems, she opened the door of achievement for some students
for the first time in their lives. (They loved her for that!) It was
possible for all students, she contended, to know the sweet taste of
success in the classroom; the positive results of her teaching techniques
proved her premise to be correct. In her quiet, modest way, she shared the
pride that success engendered in the achievers. This rare ability
was her
pedagogical crown, and it set her apart from, and far above the average teacher.
