By donating their time and efforts, teachers advise 48 different clubs and organiza- tions, ranging from the Bridge Club and the Debate team to Student Council and Thespians. In addition to clubs, teachers also supervise school and class projects including candy sales, field trips, choral and dramatic performances, and dances. During the weeks before homecoming and the Regalia Ball, advisers representing the sophomore through senior classes are busy after school and on Saturdays helping students prepare the floats for com- petition. Many faculty members serve on curriculum commit- tees and boards and take an active part in the develop- ment of the Birmingham School District. The fall Open House introduced many parents and teachers for the first time. On this evening parents filled classroom seats and listened to teachers explain homework, citizenship, and grading systems.
