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.
