Mr. Asher said he most en- joys “Giving demerits and busting people.” Mr. Denny enjoys “The dynamics of working with 120 students on an ongoing basis and coaching. Mrs. Kable receives fulfill- ment in “knowing that the skills I’m teaching will be valuable to some students, and Mr. Pence likes “see- ing students’ lights turn on,” but as a whole most teachers like to watch their students grow and mature.

 Ever wonder how teachers decided to come to CHS? We asked “Why . .. ?” Most of the teachers selected CHS because it is in a “Rural Area”, and they liked the “Students, parents, and community. ” There were of course, exceptions such as Mr. Denny who “heard CHS had the best cafeteria staff in the area, and Mr. Palko who chose CHS because he “could not pronounce its name, ” Mr. Harrod chose it because “it was the only vocational agriculture program fully equipped.’’ But generally com- ments went something like this “With Washington D.C. less than 50 miles away, Annapolis no more than 60 and even Virginia's capital, Rich mond only 80 miles away, it's a sensi- ble rural community in which to live.’’ I don’t know what I'm going to do with you! I didn't want you to hurt him! Mr. Denny talks to his J.V. football team. Look out Larry Bird!!! Mr. Baker shows the seniors “who’s tough in the basketball competitions.”’ The whole class passed! I can’t believe it, the test must have been too easy. Mr. Asher and Mrs. Glazer talk in library during their planning periods. I didn't think sweeping was part of teaching math, no I know it wasn’t. Mrs. Norris sweeps scraps of the sophomore float in- to a pile. 144 Faculty
