Brimfield High School - Spectator Yearbook (Brimfield, IL)

The teachers of Brim-field High School have completed another year of directing.” Teachers are much like directors of plays or films. They guide students to learn their parts in life. Unlike the directors, teachers are the foundation of a never ending script — the script of life. Educational directors, however, are not content to sit behind the camera. They are always part of the scene. William Cinnamon Vocational Agriculture Lola Greenbaum English District Terri Broms P.E.

AA ! i E Superintendent and Principals A production such as our school year always has its special technical advisors as well as its producers. Among our advisors is Supertinendent Donald Robinson (A). Mr. Robinson is finishing his third year with us before moving on to a new position on the county level. We at B.H.S. wish him and his family well. Our other special advisors are principals James Griner (C) and Donald Mathews (B). These two men are responsible for the smooth operations of the grade and high schools respectively. They provide the leadership so necessary to good school programs and operations — even when it gets frustrating and time consuming. Directors — 5

Peggy Schnarr Spanish Radine Kellogg Science Lorraine Roliardi The directors of this large production had many unforeseen problems to deal with this school year. The Farm Progress Show and long weekends created by Mother Nature wreaked havoc with scheduling, but most of the problems were ironed out in the following weeks. There were, inevitably, problems of all sorts but like all directors say, ‘‘The show must go ii on. These directors work half way between Broadway of the East coast and Hollywood of the West. They enjoy the “melting pot” of the Midwest or the mixture of all types of people. This mixture produces excellent opportunities for both students and teachers to learn. Teachers in this “melting pot” become teachers because they are interested in helping students learn while enjoying the show.” The guidance of young adults is an exciting and often rewarding experience for those teachers who are true professionals and want to be teachers. Teaching may not be the most lucrative profession in the world, nor does it offer the best hours, but it is by far one of the most important and potentially rewarding. Directors — 7
