Administrators Discipline, Plan, Care As P.C.H.S. entered its second year of existence, the same team of administra- tors governed the school lives of its fac- ulty and students. Principal Dewey Wil- son welcomed students each day with announcements and directions for the day’s or week’s activities. A principal functioning within a school the size of P.C.H.S. has to be very capable, and Mr. Wilson proved to be just such a leader. Confronted daily by stacks of paperwork, teacher problems, and problems within the operation of the school, he still man- aged to make his daily rounds greeting students and helping make sure they were where they should be — in an effort to keep the sometimes grinding wheels of education moving. Five sub-school principals assisted Mr. Wilson. Their duties were usually con- nected with the grade which they were assigned. They also managed to direct the overall activity of all students by pitching together to insure that such problems as skipping classes, truancy, and lack of achievement by students did not become mounting ones. Mr. Robert Riley served as sub-school principal for the vocational building. Holding that office was somewhat like being principal of a separate school. His duties involved guiding teachers by advising methods of teaching that would be helpful to students in each area. He also directed vocational students’ pro- grams that provided helpful feedback to the rest of the school programs such as D.E. and I.C.T., helping students to begin careers outside school. Stationed in the vocational building, he had a large territory to supervise but proved to be an extremely capable and successful admin- istrator. Mr. Elmer Huff directed Senior activi- ties with a year’s experience proving use- ful during the ’75-’76 school year. He assisted the Senior class in coming to decisions about money-making as well as spending projects. He was almost always available to talk to any Senior with a problem. As Principal of Instruction, he welcomed student teachers, helping them adjust to the school and adding to the warmth of the atmosphere at P.C.H.S. MR. DEWEY S. WILSON, JR. Principal East Tennessee State University, Radford College, University of Virginia; B.S., M.S. Mrs. Patty Williams acts as administrative secretary. 12
