Physical fitness is an important part of everyone's life, and it is the prime concern of Brimfield physical education teachers Mike Pryor, Terry Hart (LEFT) and Debbie Fisher. Mr. Pryor also coached the high school boys' basketball teams while Mr. Hart coached all the district's girls' teams. Besides her P.E. classes, Miss Fisher also instructed the junior high and sophomore health classes. In the business department, BHS has Mrs. Norma Hanley (CENTER) to guide students in preparing for careers in typing, filing, and accounting. For more domestic skills, students turn to Mrs. Mercia Fredrick and Mrs. Mary Ann White (CENTER LEFT). Mrs. Fredrick taught consumer education and various home ec. classes while Mrs. White supervised the Co-Op program and taught advanced home ec. Debbie Fisher began her first year at Brimfield as a P.E. and Health teacher. She also found time to organize and coach the girls’ high school volleyball program as well as coach softball. On a personal note. Miss Fisher enjoys all outdoor sports when she has time for relaxing (which isn't often)! This super lady has made the extra effort to make school more enjoyable for her students. This has made a big impression on her students. 8

 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

In the high school, Mr. Ken Jessen has taught U.S. History. Modern World History, Civics, and interpersonal relations for more than twenty-five years. His lectures bring his classes alive and eager to participate in class conversations. This unique way of teaching makes Mr. lessen a favored teacher among the student body. He was voted Favorite Teacher this year, for the second year in a row. LEFT: Miss Lorraine Roliardi has been the guidance counselor and career advisor for both schools the last nine years. She also taught high school psychology and geography classes. Under her guidance the BHS student council has grown and prospered becoming very active at school and throughout the Hopewell District. Unfortunately, next year, BHS will be without Rollie's skills. Budget cutbacks have eliminated her job. LEFT AND COUNTER CLOCKWISE: Another victim of budget cuts is Mr. Gary Sullivan, the junior high social studies teacher. He also took time after work to coach the BHS baseball team. Miss Jane Snow is the district librarian. She taught library and researched skills as well as checked out the books. She checked them out that is after Mr. Kevin Curtain and Mrs. Mildred Moulton brushed up our reading skills.

Mr. Curtain has also served as our resident computer expert” with the Title I Computer. 9
