R. Polk, We see him often-working out our prob- lems, leading us in assemblies, and guiding visi- tors through our now-famous school. Having been principal since the school's estab- lishment in 1960, Mr. Polk is iustly credited with its growth and progress. Before he began his role as principal of Trezevant, he had been a teacher, an athletic coach, and an elementary school prin- cipal. A man of many interests, Mr. Polk is a Mason, a member of Kappa Sigma, Phi Delta Kappa, all principals' and teachers' associations, and attends Second Presbyterian Church. Despite his varied activities, Mr. Polk still finds ample time to devote to his wife, Dorothy, and their five children.
