3 ‘Fine Tuning: ' To bring into harmony ' he Chief said it at the first faculty meeting of the year; “Would like for all of us to consider this a year of ‘Fine Tuning,’” began Prin¬ cipal Dennis O. Gilli- kin. “A year that we devote to improving, expanding, and pol¬ ishing the programs we already have in exis¬ tence,” he explained. And so, a theme was born — “Fine Tun¬ ing.” But, what exactly did “Fine Tuning” mean? Webster’s Dictionary defined it as “to come or bring into harmony, or to adjust for precise functioning.” “For the Senior Class,” said sponsor Ms. Emma Flood, “‘Fine Tuning’ means reorga¬ nizing and making plans for the completion of an outstanding year.” Gillikin repeated his message over the P.A. system the first day of school. “Welcome back,” he said. “We expect no major changes this year. We have come through a big adjust¬ ment period. We hope to experience a year of ‘Fine Tuning’ in all areas. Good luck!” “For me, ‘Fine Tuning’ means studying hard, getting good grades, and becoming in¬ volved in extra-curricular activities,” said sophomore Richard Walters. For the City of Hampton and nearby military bases, “Fine Tuning” meant improv¬ ing community relations by celebrating Hampton’s 375th birthday and sponsoring community appreciation days. “Fine Tuning” also meant improving in¬ structional methods, creating Study Express, improving scores on the SAT’s and reducing the failure rate. “Fine Tuning” meant different things to different people, but, over-all, it meant a con¬ tinuing pursuit of excellence.
