DEDICATION The staff of FINIS '71 is honored to dedicate this yearbook to our principal, Dr. William E. Steiden. He has served in this capacity since 1969 and has lived in Finneytown since 1964. His Bachelor of Music was earned at the Uni- versity of Kentucky, his Master of Arts at the University of Louisville, and his Doctor of Education from Xavier University. Before coming to Finneytown, Dr. Steiden taught in- strumental music, was a college advisor and college band director, He was also an assis- tant principal in the Cincinnati school, and took time off to finish his doctorai require- ments. He is happy he came to Finneytown and enjoys the students, whom he feels are capable and responsible and not different from his other contacts with students. How- ever; he feels there is much room for change, and has severat programs in mind still to be effected. Among these would be a new department concerning resources, with centers in the courtyards where students could work independently; more electives in communications, the behavioral sciences, and computer instruction, an improved lunch- room, an auditorium, and enlarged physical education facilities. Generally, Dr. Steiden hopes Finneytown students can begin to as- sume the responsibility for their own educa- tion. AT LEFTeDr. Steiden plays the piano while children, Susan and Eric. look on. He spends some of his free time with his family fishing and swimming, and he used to collect electric trains.
