Mrs. Barbara Douglas was involved in bettering the under- standing of the E.R.A. Mr. Robert Daily has been doubling, serving as a minister for two years. Many of Blackford ' s male teachers liked fishing and hunting as extra pastimes. Golf was popular with both men and women. A more rare hobby, pursued by Mrs. Ann Kerr, is collecting antique china, crystal, and silverware. Mr. Joe Castelo was both a Social Studies teach- er and a city court judge. Mrs. Kelsea Smith, freshman English teacher, was working on her first novel. On the sports side for women was Ms. Debi Carnifix, who has an interest in hockey. Regardless of the teacher or job, these scholars all have one thing in common: Teaching isn ' t their whole life — even though an important part of it. MR. JERRY SHREVES B.S., M.A.: Math Dept.

Professional goals required their time A Blackford teacher, Mr. Stuart Brown, led the county teachers as Asso- ciation president in a busy year which included negotiations with the school board, a series of discussions on im- proving the school program, and a so- cial carry-in buffet. Two other BHS teachers had major roles in the BCTA year. They were Mr. Joseph Casteio, chairman of negotia- tions, and Mrs. Sandy Stroup, discus- sion chairperson. Concerned with legislative action af- fecting education, teachers joined the state-national effort in urging favorable revisions. Statewise, legislative bills concerned textbook selection, curricu- lum, class size, and school calendar. In budget affairs, money was wanted for education, and a 4% maximum in- crease from the State was a possibility in the winter session of the Legislature. Since tax rates are frozen, the BCTA realized extra money must come from the state. MR. PHILIP TURLEY, B.S., M.S.: Dir. of Choirs, Music Theory. MRS.
