Management: Teacher pursues balance How did one go from ex- plaining battle tactics of the Roman army to teaching the 'lbattle tactics of soc- cer? lt was an unusual prob- lem, but one that Mr. Carl Sieracki could relate to. This year, he was both the coach, and the Western Civilization teacher. Jug- gling both jobs throughout the year was both a difficult and rewarding experience. He had counted on sports during his college years to relieve stress. Plow, he re- lied on soccer as a source of l'freedom, an outlet from his pressures. Despite Left: Working at the computer, Sr. Ellen types a letter for parents. the long school weeks that sometimes left both the players and the coach anx- ious for the weekend, he nevertruly found coaching burdensome. Mr. Sieracki summed up his experience, l'The idea of coaching and teaching was the only way I could fol- low as an educator. The side of the player l was able to see as a coach was often completely opposite the side the student portrayed in class. l got a much better perspective of these young women and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

This was a task Mrs. Connie Brommsberger had to master. She was a new addition to both the faculty and the athletics program, sewing as both an Algebra I and ll teacher and moon- lighting as this year's vol- leyball coach. She handled her respon- sibilities well. UI was a little bit nervous the first week of school, but after that I was fine. She enjoyed doing both jobs, feeling they gave HM 20 PWR Faculty her the opportunity to see the 'lother side of her stu- dents. Teaching and coaching are not that different, Mrs. Brownsberger said. ln both she reflected, she had to 'ialways expect the unex- pected. For Mrs. Brovms- berger, a native Louisianan who has lived in Connecti- cut for two years, coaching and teaching were two chal- lenges that she thoroughly enjoyed.

Mme. Sabine Ruthman, for instance, had been an ac- tive member of the Alliance Francaise for over 50 years. lt was devoted to assisting relations between France and other nations. ln the New Haven chapter, Mme. Ruthman was a former President and member of the governing board. She became involved in the group because of her strong desire to maintain ties to her native land. Through her member- ship, Mme. Ruthman found pleasure in interesting lec- tures and her contact with others who share her goals. Some of the activities in which the Alliance partici- pated were a monthly French tea, the mainten- ance of a lending library, and French conversation classes. Mme. Ruthman felt the Alliance was an impor- tant organization because of its purpose for the spread of the French cul- ture. 'X W Jgfiwiwww 'W 5 2 5' IZ ,VL ll.
