Our teachers bad their troubles too Problems for teachers ranged from broken bones to cars getting stuck in the snow. School started with a possible prob- lem that turned out not be one — whether the teacher contract would be agreed upon between the negatiating committee and the school board. Many teacher hours were saved when a new requirement to file a weekly lesson plan was suspended at the request of the teachers after four weeks. Also a rule of past years requir- ing the teachers to sign in and out was cancelled. Mrs. Ann Kerr, Mrs. Dealie Dodds and Mrs. Irene Springer wore casts temporarily because of fractures or op- erations. Other personal problems resulted in the midyear resignations of Mr. Hans Heiser, Mrs. Ofelia Burton, and Mrs. Brenda Mantha. Many faculty cars were stuck in the heavy snow during the winter, includ- ing that of Mr. Chris Coy. He called for a wrecker but it also got stuck, so he ended up digging himself, as well as the wrecker, out of the snow. A carry-in, provided by the teachers themselves and held for faculty members, included even Mrs. Dea- lie Dodds — despite her broken leg. 168 Faculty

Attendance at ichfxjl evenii is rfxjtine lex adminii- traton, hut Mr. Lewis findi thii teacher evert more appetizing than most. Their year was one of decisions It was a year requiring decisions by the school ' s administrators. The frigid weather, for example, forced an abrupt change in schedules. Athletic Director John Carbone felt the brunt of the 11 snow days, as cancella- tion or rescheduling of 27 sports events was necessary for eight school teams. Principal G. William Anderson met with other county administrators to decide on such issues as whether the 11 V2 days should be made up. Selecting substitute teachers on short notice was one of many decisions of Asst. Principal Noel Lewis, whose fa- miliar PA voice also passed on decisions of sponsors to hold or cancel organiza- tions ' events. From their secluded rooms between counseling and principals ' offices, Deans Kenneth Ross and Cretchen Place enforced such administrative de- cisions as the new rule for detention time for habitually tardy students. fven Santa can ' t sneak down the halls without a pass when Dean of Boys Kenneth Ross (B.5., M.A) is patrolling the avenues. Paperwork, an often unrecognized pan of an atWe- tic director ' s many-sided job, is attacked bv Mr. )ohn Carbone (B.S.. M.S.). BHS Administration 167
