Every organization must have a struc- ture and management system if it is to focus on its objectives. In a school sys- tem this is achieved by placing students in specific classes. Added to this are the directors (teachers) who guide students in the learning process. Other support systems are used to carry out all the many functions of a successful school center. Janitors, cafe- teria workers, aides, all are vital for our school’s operation. Our rank is a composite of many dif- ferent types of people with many differ- ent talents. Of course there is no one lower on the registry of personnel than the lowly freshman, but he has a lot to look forward to. Setting goals to break those records set by other classes stim- ulates good healthy competition between classes. Without this combat, school might be boring and all the peo- ple would miss many opportunities to learn. We are part of a total community, one that takes pride in our progress and products. Complaints about few course offerings are often offset by the amount of attention and help individual students do receive from a caring faculty. Coop- eration and collaboration are both evi- dent in the continuously good program development in our school. FOCUS ON RANK FILE ... FOCU 28

Principal Stresses Pride in School A high point in the school year for me was when Dr. Vertu- nio, chairman of our SACS five year Review Committee, opened his evaluation report of our school by stating this is a school where he would like to teach. He further indicated that it is a community school that is effective and successful with its educational program. He added there are areas where we need to improve; however, his posi- tive comments supported the opinion held by many people in our community. As I reflect about the year, I remember the positive accom- plishments of our students. Academics and athletics have supported each other in our school. Opportunities for stu- dents and accomplishments have been both individual and team oriented. In focusing on our program, I think you can say our success can be measured by the accomplishments of our graduates and the response of the community to our school needs. We certainly have attained both. These successes will serve as the basis for a bet- ter future for students and for our school.” The above was a response from our school principal. Den- nis Fike when we asked him what he felt about our school and this year. A principal needs support from all segments of the school community. Mr. Fike is fortu- nate to have Mrs. Arbutus Blankenship as Assistant Prin- cipal, Mrs. Bobbie Williamson as Bookkeeper; Mrs. Donna Ansell as Secretary; Mrs. Ola Bailey as clerical Aide; and Mrs. Dorothy Crooms as a general office aide. Pictured this page at the top are Mrs. Bailey and Ms. Crooms. At the bottom is Mrs. Blankenship. Clockwise on page 31 are Mrs. Williamson, Mr. Fike and Williamson, Mr. Fike, and Mr. Fike and Denise Morgan and Mrs Donna Ansell. 30
