Northeast High School - Viking Log Yearbook (St Petersburg, FL)

Positive direction Dedicated to the well-being and benefit of the students, the faculty, and the school, the administration worked hard to keep business running as smoothly and efficiently as possible. The Principal and the Assistant Prin- cipals worked closely with the students and the faculty and made sure that any necessary changes were made and problems solved. They worked overtime to make sure everything went right and could often be seen at games and impor- tant school functions. Contrary to the popular belief that all the do is take care of discipline problems, the Deans did much more. They were truly concerned about the students and did as much as they could to settle any problems. Taking time out from their daily routines, the deans in- formed and counseled both students and parents so they could stop any problems before they grew larger. Also assisting the students was the Guidance Department. Counselors strove to assist each student in hisfher course selection and work out any dif- ficulties in order to create a schedule that would best suit the needs of the students. Working together, the administrators took care of what needed to be done, and while they did, they kept the best interests of the entire school in mind. A quiet moment at the top, as Mr. Tom Zachary reviews a memo for upcoming events. His respon- sibilities are large, but he still reserves time to keep up on Northeast's activities. 264 PRINCIPALXASSISTANTPRINCIPALS 5 if 3 XM N-'01-- wt s. ,.-- 'N ,QM -Q!

Honor with a smile. Ellen Batsavage pins his award on Mr. Herb Dixon after his name was an- nounced on the intercom to receive the yearbook dedication. Mr. Dixon is one of only two teachers and administrators to receive this recognition this year. 'Ss f 'QS f E.- 'gl kt,. i Northeast is just like home to me, stated Mr. Herbert Dixon. Mr. Dixon has been a member of the faculty and administration for ten years. Originally a physical education teacher and coach, Mr. Dixon is now well known in his position as a dean, but he still attends every football and basketball game at school. Mr. Dixon said that he owes all of his success to the faculty, students, and administration, and commented, Basically, Ijust love Northeast. Although Mr. Dixon is firm in his job as a dean, as he stated jokingly, 'Tm mean, he believes that he has attained a different type of relationship with students that no one else has. This rela- tionship is based on mutual under- standing and respect. Mr. Dixon stated that his method in dealing with students was that he tried to get to know each stu- dent personally. When I can call kids by their first name and have a conversa- tion with them, it makes them realize that they're not all bad and that I'm truly concerned about them. It is this con- cern and understanding that has re- vealed to students Mr. Dixon's real personality. With great pleasure, the senior class dedicates the 1983 Viking Log to Mr. Herbert Dixon. Congratulations Mr. Dixon - you've earned our respect. DEDICATION 263
