He was of great assistance in helping and advising students when they didn’t meet the school standards. Working closely with Mr. Collins, he managed to keep unexcused tardies and absences to a minimum. Continuing the detention room this year was part of his well-organized program. In the spring Mr. Broad was kept busy managing the scheduling of next year’s classes. Teaching a geometry class every day also occupied his valuable time.
