Page 87 - CBA 1991 YEARBOOK

A vital part of the CBA community was the faculty. Without teachers and staff to guide us, we would have been lost like sheep without shepherds. The faculty were just as human as the students, each with his or her own little quirks. We saw them day after day. Sometimes they were in good moods; sometimes they were in bad moods.
In the mornings teachers were in a rush trying to get to their homerooms and preparing their lessons for the day. Meanwhile the staff scurried about keeping everything in order and getting the morning announcements ready. Few faculty members were ever caught with nothing to do.
Classes would begin and the faculty’s work would be un­ derway. Teachers taught lessons that would never be forgotten while the staff helped students strive for success. Guidance workers would help guide students toward college and then future goals. The secretaries in the main office answered phone calls, kept track of students as well as teachers, and typed up several important notices and letters. The nurse

kept track of students and helped those with injuries or sicknesses which required attention. The librarian and her aide found resources for students and discovered lost infor­ mation for a student’s use. And still there were other staff members.
Teachers, on the other hand, had entirely different duties. Teachers spent their days teaching valuable lessons and ideas that their professors had taught them. Many teachers passed on the wisdom their experience had brought. M r. M antling had his phrases. Mr. Sacco had his. Dr. Hamati had wise sayings which only her French students understood.
Every day, teachers labored over chalkboards writing end­ lessly important information. One could have said teachers were walking encyclopedias of the Britannica variety.
Our teachers and staff were very important in all our lives. And though we did not always thank them, we still valued them. But, just for the record, we would like to thank the faculty for all their help they have given us.
