Mr. Edward R. Szetela B.A., University of Massachusetts M.A., Cornell University M.Ed., College of William and Mary Principal There is no indispensable man. This may be true, but a week without Mr. Szetela leaves Kecoughtan wondering. As head of a large high school, Mr. Szetela is constantly busy with numerous problems. Among these are representing Kecoughtan at educational meetings and the P.T.A. He directs student assemblies and often speaks at civic functions. As evidence of his tremendous school spirit, Mr. Szetela, in fulfilling a promise to the student body, jumped off a pier in celebration of Kecoughtan ' s victory over Hampton High. Certainly, Kecoughtan students were appreciative of the efforts of Mr. Szetela and the administrative staff who handled the increased school population so effec- tively that the 45 minute lunch time was retained. Through all his efforts, Mr. Szetela is instrumental in unifying Ke- coughtan ' s strides forward. Happiness is beating Hampton. Lunch hour is spent in maintaining order as 800 stu- dents file through lunch lines. During the day Mr. Szetela allots time for conferences with visiting officials and parents. 1 1
