Notes

Mrs. Hazel Balthazar Howard of Marshall retired in 1977 after thirty-seven years of teaching. She was born in Louisiana, but was educated in that state and in Texas. Her teaching degree came from Texas College in Tyler, and her Master degree from Denver University. After six years of teaching in Longview, she came to Marshall and taught for thirty-one years. Her school resume included Pemberton High School, where she taught English. The picture is from the PHS yearbook, possibly 1950-1953. She was active in several teacher organizations. She also volunteered at the public library, her church, the parochial school, and a nursing home. Although active outside her home, she was mother to four children and grandmother to seven.

Slide of a yearbook photo. Mrs. Howard's autobiographical essay is included in The Black Citizen and American Democracy: Black Culture in Harrison County, Past, Present, and Future (Marshall Public Library, 1978-79), p. 117.
