Lending a helping hand The biggest trouble-shooters at BHS are teachers. By being trouble-shooters, they repair equipment and solve the problems of students, budgets, and program schedules. Faculty members stayed after regular hours at school to help with the education of students. With class days missed during the snow and energy crisis, much tutoring and after- school counseling were needed to teach the same amount as in previous years. Extra homework was also assigned to compensate. Budgets were readjusted due to inflation. Classes and organizations had to do without some items usually avail- able. Repairs were a major faculty concern. They ranged from the obvious of making minor equipment repairs, such as Mr. William Fread rendered, to Mr. Alan Knapp ' s car repairs. Repairs involved the mending of bug specimens in biology, by Mr. Chris Coy, to the renewing of education. Lives were made more orderly by Mr. Joe Castelo as he presided over Hartford City ' s court. Whether students knew it or not, faculty members affect- ed the lives of each. A potential professional artist, Mr. Robert Cromer was invited to Washington to discuss exhibiting his works in another nation. 184 Faculty
