PfcZttCifXiil f-fCtS Toughestjob Concern for the total welfare of the student body has been a pri- ority for Principal Dennis Fike. Since he became principal dur- ing the 1978-79 academic year, he has worked to improve the curriculum, student involvement in school activities and building facilities. His total commitment has won him the respect of stu- dents, faculty and community. Junior Kirk Coker stated that he thinks Mr. Fike is doing a good job, for he has been con- trolling the school with a tough discipline policy. That is the way it shoud be,” said Kirk. Although accomplishments have been made in some areas, Alison McNealy said, I wish Mr. Fike would do something to improve school spirit. I think it is down from previous years.” To Ali- son’s comments, Lisa Wilson added that she thinks Mr. Fike is doing a good job, but feels he could improve communications with students. Comments from faculty members supported the ideas of the stu- dents. Assistant principal Mrs. “Boo” Blankenship said, ”1 think he is doing a fine job, but I feel he would do even better if the student body would cooperate with him more. Despite all the accomplishments he has directed or made, Fike is not one to sit back and bask in glory. After helping to refinish the gym floor, he tackled the painting and redecorating of the audito- rium stage. He himself, feels that more students need to accept the responsibility of keeping the school clean.
