Foreword August, 1964 sees the re-opening of Kecough- tan High School, this time with three classes — sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Orientation in the auditorium for sophomores and transfer stu- dents starts the year ' s assemblies for the fall semester. As soon as the students settle in their home- rooms and adjust to their new schedules, activi- ties start and extra-curricular organizations begin to recruit members for another active year. Throughout this book you will see the Warrior delegation working constantly to improve the school and to promote a spirit of pride in service. We submit this record to display the abilities, goals, and achievements to which everyone con- tributed during the unforgettable year of 1964- 1965. The spotlight falls on this year ' s Senior Class, but without the cooperation of the Juniors and Sophomores, the traditions and memories could not have been formed. SCA President Sam Zeldner addresses the student body preceding the campaign speeches for next year ' s SCA officers. 5

Faculty and Administration A vital part of the image of a school is its faculty. From a faculty and administrative staff of seventy to an organi- zation of eighty-one is definitely an increase. This growth occurred because Kecoughtan High School had for the school year of 1964-1965 a student body representing three classes: sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The stu- dent increase amounted to five hundred seventy-seven, mainly sophomores. Growth was evident in each department of the curri- culum this year. The English department increased from nine faculty members to sixteen. Humanities, a class for advanced seniors, was presented for the first time at Kecoughtan. Calculus and honors math were added to the math department, which increased from five faculty members to eight. Vocational office training and recording keeping were two new courses offered in the business department. The faculty membership of this department increased from five to eight. The science department was enlarged by the introduction of physics and advanced biology. Econom- ics, personal finance, international relations, and govern- ment were offered in the social studies department. With the addition of these courses, two new methods of teach- ing were tried. Team teaching and student teaching were innovations this year in the English and the social studies departments. Participation in extracurricular activities such as spon- soring clubs, coaching athletic teams, and chaperoning school dances, has given the faculty opportunities to pro- mote school spirit throughout Kecoughtan. As you glance through the following pages, notice those familiar faces who worked with you for your benefit. These individuals were dedicated in their efforts to provide Kecoughtan students with greater opportunities for practi- cal and meaningful education. 7
