Assistant Principals Coordinate Daily Activities Mr. Pent If there is an activity that seems to fit T.B.T. students, Mr. Pent is the man to see about introducing it to the school. He is the Assistant Principal in charge of activities and he really gets involved in his work. T.B.T. ' s athletic program is one of his largest concerns. Mr. Pent can be found at every football, basketball, and volleyball game. Cooperation is the key to a successful pro- gram, according to Mr. Pent. Only when students get along with each other and work together for a common goal can success be achieved. The best activities are those that contain the most student involvement.

Mr. Dixon Is T.B. T. ' s 1 Titan Mr. Dixon performs a multirude of casks during a regular school day as principal of T.B.T. Most of the time he can be found on campus carrying out the many duties of a school principal. Telephone calls from par- ents, conferences with teachers, and meetings with students are just a few of the activities that fill his schedule. Mr. Dixon also regularly attends senior high school principal ' s meetings and board meetings. It is his duty to keep in touch with the School Board on all matters that concern the school. Our principal encourages the students all members of the faculty to constantly strive to improve Tech. He is always open to the comments of anyone who can make worth- while suggestions. It is not surprising that Mr. Dixon ' s pet project is encouraging students to take part in athletic events, since he served as head coach at Brewster for many years. What impresses Mr. Dixon most about T.B.T. is the fact that students are attending our school by choice. He feels it is always eas- ier to educate students who are here because they want to learn. Because of his involvement in every facet of our high school, Mr. Dixon is without a doubt, T.B.T. ' s 1 Titan.

Deans Monitor All School Activities Dean of Boys Dean, John Hamilton, has an enormous capacity for understanding students- He can be seen walking around campus with a smile on his face, because he ' s proud of Tampa Bay Tech. He is interested in knowing how stu- dents are doing, and of their future plans. Unfortunately, his office allows him many occasions to meet students as disciplinary problems. In such cases, he is noted for his fairness. His busy schedule consists of overseeing students in the lunchroom, going over absen- tee lists, and monitoring the school buses, not to mention a few unscheduled visits by stu- dents. Despite the roll he plays as Dean of Boys, Mr. Hamilton is one of the most repsected and well-liked faculty members at T.B.T. Dean of Girls If you were to sum up the meaning of the name Joan Herndon, our Dean of Girls, in a few words, you could say she cares. She cares mostly about the health and welfare of the students at T.B.T. Her main goal is to assure the protection of all students and their rights. Mrs. Herndon is an involved Titan. She attends all student activities and enjoys taking the time to talk to students. One of her main projects is improving girls ' athletics. She ' s looking forward to the time when we have as many girls ' teams in sports, as boys. Mrs. Herndon is an outstanding Titan, and in all instances she is fair and just in her opin- ions and decisions.
