Kilbourne B.S., East Tennessee State University Sophomore Class Counselor Sponsor: Chess Club Guidance The Guidance Counselors are an important part of Kecoughtan ' s administrative personnel. In our guidance department each class has its own individual counselor. Mrs. Moore Coun- sels the seniors, Mrs. Ennis the juniors, and Mr. Kilbourne the sophomores. These coun- selors work with the students to provide them with schedules suited to their vocational abili- ties and aspirations. When the sophomores enter high school, the guidance counselors advise them on the sub- jects which would be most profitable to them during the following years. Many seniors as well as juniors find it con- Mrs. Ennis, Mr. Kilbourne, and Mrs. Moore discuss various testing programs. venient to get information from their coun- selors about their credits, and the colleges they plan to attend. A record of all the credits each students earns is kept by the guidance coun- selors so they can provide such information about credits. Direction of the many testing programs is yet another service performed by the Guid- ance Office. These programs include college boards and scholarship eligibility examina- tions. The careful and helpful planning of the guidance counselors make high school years valuable to the student and his future. Sharon Cole always finds Mr. Kilbourne ready to answer questions.

Early morning finds Mr. Bowers checking absentee reports. Assistant Principals Mr. Henry C. Bowers is the assistant principal and dean of boys. In these roles he directs many administrative programs. In the absence of Mr. Szetela, he assumes the responsibilities of prin- cipal. Administrative tasks involve such complex problems as the selling of student insurance and the supervision of the federal survey program. As dean of boys, he is responsible for the dis- cipline of the boys, and the issuing of excuses for tardiness and absenteeism. As part of his extracurricular activities, he sponsors the varsity basketball team. Students who know Mr. Bowers as a coach, dean, or assistant principal, respect and admire him for so very capably fulfilling his responsibili- ties. Mrs. Eylese M. Latham holds the title of dean of girls. She has the responsibility of counseling and guiding those girls who have personal prob- lems. Her daily routine includes the checking of tardies and absentees. In addition to her daily rountine, she is en- gaged in many of the extracurricular activities of the senior class. As the sponsor of the senior class, she co-ordinates such functions as the senior prom, college night, class night, and baccalau- reate. Under her supervision, these activities run smoothly and efficiently. Both the students and the faculty are grateful to Mrs. Latham for the counseling and guidance services, and the assistance in extracurricular activities she gives to Kecoughtan High School. Anita Harrell obtains an absentee slip from Mrs. Latham, dean of girls. 10

Administrative Assistants Mrs. Anita S. McKinley Secretary, Bookkeeper Mrs. Naomi B. Snaidman IBM Operator No school, business, or industry can operate smoothly and effectively without capable employees behind the scenes. The secretarial staff of Kecoughtan High School is certainly an efficient and loyal one. Under the guidance of and through the organizational efforts of Mrs. Elizabeth Cook, the Main Office co-ordi- nates the routines necessary to the efficient operation of a large secondary school. College transcripts and class schedules are the responsibility of Mrs. Cook. She is also the co-sponsor of the senior class, and orders announce- ments, calling cards, and class rings for the students. Mrs. Anita McKinley serves as receptionist and secre- tary for the Main Office. She performs the routine duties connected with office procedures and serves as a link be- tween administration, faculty, and students. The bookstore is Mrs. Helen Atwell ' s center of opera- tion. She directs the sales of school supplies to students and faculty, and issues textbooks. Another service she performs for the faculty is the typing of stencils for tests which are to be mimeographed. Mrs. Naomi Snaidman and the IBM machine handle the heavy burden of arranging students schedules, tally- ing absentees, and issuing report cards. Certainly without this team of dedicated workers Ke- coughtan ' s operation would be more difficult and less efficient. Processing IBM cords keeps Mrs. Snaidman constantly busy. Mrs. Atwell accepts wampum for Warrior purchase. 12
