Steve Snell, who attends John Glenn High School, was nominated for this National Award by Mr. Paul Hernandez, an English teacher at the school. Steve will appear in the United States Achievement Academy Official Yearbook, published nationally. Steve is the son of Lew and Josie Snell, of Walkerton. Grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Walter Kelley, of Atwood, Indiana, and the late Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Snell of North Manchester, Indiana.
