Actually, many Blackford instructors had childhood ambitions to do something dif- ferent with their lives. For example, Mr. Chuck Lori wanted to be a cowboy, professional athlete, or a doctor. Finally, he decided upon teaching because of coaching possibilities. Coaching was also an important factor in the career of Mr. Jon Stroup. When a child, he wanted to become a professional baseball player, but lack of talent for the sport led him to major in engineering. Finding he couldn ' t coach because of rules in high school sports, Mr. Stroup therefore became a teacher. I wanted to be a nurse, Mrs. Beverly Valencic said, but I couldn ' t stand the sight of blood! So, how did Mrs. Valencic become a biology teacher? The blood there isn ' t that bad. Mrs. Ruth Henderson wanted to be a per- former. I just loved singing and dancing! said Mrs. Henderson, who is also a jazz pia- nist. Mrs. Donna Atkinson, planned to be an airline stewardess. Meeting and marrying her husband Bill foiled the plan. After marrying, Mrs. Atkinson became a home ec. teacher and now teaches German. Mr. Chris Coy wanted to be a veterinarian to work out-of-doors with wild-life. But Mr. Coy finally found himself a biology teacher, and track coach. 58 Faculty

School decision-makers Boys ' Dean Mr. Kenneth Ross. B.S.. M.A. Time is my major problem. There isn ' t enough time during or after school to get everything done, stated Mr. G. William Anderson, principal. My other problems are trying to keep caught up with all the paperwork and getting students to develop positive attitudes about school and learn- ing. Mr. Anderson supervised and evaluated classroom activities. He advised teachers concerning discipline problems when needed. Mr. Noel Lewis, assistant principal, was in charge of getting substitute teachers. He made announcements, checked for conflicting calendar dates, granted parent pre-arranged absences, and assisted in dis- cipline. He also was summer school princi- pal. Mr. John Carbone, athletic director, was found in the school at all times of the day and night. His important responsibil- ities included scheduling and attending all athletic events. He was also the head of ticket sales. Mr. Carbone met with Sectional tourna- ment coaches and principals, and he pre- sented athletic awards at the annual sports banquet. BHS .Adminislrauon
