?!E§ E A?Ki£ Once again we dedicate a portion of this yearbook to the Royalty of our kingdom. This year many changes have come from beneath the drawbridge of circumstances. Several of the faculty have unfortunately been “let go for the next school year. Yet. the remaining teachers will continue to fulfill a main goal they all share. The Brimfield Royalty protect their students from the never ending fight against ignorance. Bernadine Tucker (RIGHT) challenged BHS students to stretch their artistic abilities. She also taught a third grade class at BGS. jim Camp (BELOW LEFT) and Karl Kasjens (BELOW CENTER) lea the way in music Mr. Camp produced a play with the nigh school chorus called Stop, You're Killing Me! Mr. Kasiens instructed the high school jazz band, the Renegade Band, and the grade school bands. Don Mathews (BOTTOM RIGHT) taught high school English from his own text. Mathews Method of Learning Grammar. Petty Schnarr (LOWER RIGHT) and Sandra Dutro (BELOW RIGHT) taught junior high English. Mrs. Schnarr also sponsored Spanish Club; Mrs. Dutro was in charge of French Club. Many students of BHS leave the school with great knowledge in the fields of English, Grammar, and Literature. This is due to a very special and unique teacher, Mrs. Lola Green-baum. Mrs. Greenbaum has been an “institution” at BHS for the last eighteen years. Every student has had her for speech and English literature. BHS salutes her and wishes her good health and success in her continuing battle with reoccuring cancer. 6

Administrators: gltfcy carry out ttje laws Our high school also welcomes Mr. Fred Roberts as its new principal. He and his wife Diane also have a new addition to their family. Julie Diane became the newest member of the Robert's clan on October 31st. The Brimfield Unit District office has a new man in it. Our student body welcomes Mr. Charles D. Langley as our new superintendent. Coming to us from Mantino, Illinois. Mr. Langley has experience as an elementary school principal and curriculum director. He is working hard at his first superintendent’s job, and we wish him well as he endeavors to improve our district’s financial situation. Mr. Langley and his wife Jennifer are also first time parents. Their daughter Andrea was born in early October. Brimfield Grade School’s principal Jim Griner doesn’t look like a motorcycle jockey, but the truth is, Mr. Griner is the founder of an international motorcycle club — The Yamaha 650 Society. His bright orange coveralls and helmet are a familiar sight every morning. During this tenure at B.G.S. he has worn the hat of a special education teacher, a substitute for various absent teachers, a part-time coach, the editor of his motorcycle club's newsletter, and a variety of other demanding jobs. Mr. Griner is a true “Jack-of-all-trades and we hope he will be around for years to come. Before coming to Brimfield, Mr. Roberts led a very fast-paced life. He has gone from an electronics specialist while in the Green Berets, to the director of the Henry County Youth Bureau, to working in six different countries and earning two university degrees. With all of this experience we hope his stay at B.H.S. will be as challenging and satisfying as anything he has done to date. Welcome to B.H.S. Mr. Roberts! 5

 Yeah, down in Guantanamo Bay ..is a familiar phrase if you were a student in Mr. Sauerwein's biology class. When he enlisted in the Navy, he experienced life in a way that makes him a perfect biology teacher — he was a salvage diver. All of his students look forward to and enjoy hearing his many sea stories. LEFT CENTER: Brimfield is a great farming community with high standards to uphold. Mr. William Cinnamon is the agricultural “expert” who prepared BHS's future farmers. Due to a quadruple heart bypass, Mr. Cinnamon was absent the last month or so of school, but was supported by substitute Darrin Knuth (his former student teacher). Science Wizards Radine Kellogg (CENTER) and Arthur Howe (RIGHT CENTER) were in charge of high school chemistry and junior high science respectively. Also members of the scientific community here are Mr. Brad Carr (LEFT) and Mrs. Linda Stokes (BOTTOM). Mr. Carr taught all high school math classes and is author of the infamous Carr's Formula. Mrs. Stokes had the junior high math classes and also served as a grade school track coach. 7
