FACULTY! Where do you beIong??? Bremerton High School is dark and quiet. All of a sudden the lights click on and the sound of single footsteps invade the silence. A small, thin figure of a man with glasses and thinning hair stands in front of the office door as if on guard. Then, the people who make this school operate start report- ing for duty. Who are all these people? . . . . . . These are all people with spe- cial skills and interests that involve helping the school. There is Miss AI- Ien and her compasses and protrac- ters, Mr. Horton and his test tubes and bunsen burners, Mr. Bidwell and his verbs and pronouns, Mr. Gray and the Declaration of Independence and the Dark Ages, Mr. Becker and his track shoes and whistle, Mrs. Anderson and her spatulas and frying pans, Mr. Gardner and his typewriters and add- ing machinesg Miss Anderson, Miss Stemmons and Mr. NeweII's beer, sombreros, and Eiffel Tower, Mr. Has- sett and his orange cones and red lights, the Pre-Vocational people and their patience and consideration, Mr. Williams and his saws and drills, the library staff and their books and magazines, Mr. Heathershaw and his brushes and easels, the cafeteria staff and their jello and their milk, the at- tendance staff and their white slips and green slips, janitors and their mops and wrenches, the office staff and their mailboxes and registration cards. These people and many more are what keep this school operating. Sometimes it doesn't operate ex- tremely well with such problems as cold classrooms, mistakes on DNA lists, and confusing schedules, but this just proves that the people who help run this school aren't perfect, they are human who are expected to make mistakes. And when these people aren't coping with the prob- lems that come with a school they are doing a very good job to keep it run- ning smoothly. A Iot of these people also give more than just classroom time to help the students, some of them give a good deal of their free time to help contribute to the school, such as chaperones for dances, coaches and assistants for athletic ac- tivities, advisors for the production of the yearbook, class advisors, club ad- visors. and many more activities that occur in Bremerton High School. Kids in Bremerton High often complain that most faculty in this school don't care. Well, this may be true of some, but the majority of the faculty do care about teaching the kids and preparing them for their future. Without these people the two high schools in Bremerton could not have survived when they combined because the teachers bonded together, put up with and solved many of the problems that came with two rival schools com- bining and now Bremerton High is a successful growing school!!
