The basic facet of Kecoughtan High School ' s personality is the faculty and administration. The aim of these people is to provide a scho- lastic approach to learning and a way of life to each willing Warrior. Through emphasis on education and individual recognition the faculty and the administration constantly urge the stu- dents to greater victories and successes. New and different methods are employed to bring the students to the realization of the enjoyment and fulfillment of learning. Coordination of effort by the administration created unity between the faculty and students. To educate Kecoughtan’s large student body of Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors, a faculty of 95 members is necessary for small classes to encourage individual participation. Members of the faculty are vitally important to the life of KHS as club sponsors, coaches, and advisors in all extra-curricular activities. In the congenial atmosphere of the Main Office, the business affairs of Kecoughtan High School are con- ducted. In spite of ringing telephones and per- sistent students, the busy office staff functions efficiently. In this section, you will see the members of Kecoughtan ' s faculty and administration at work and play, and here you will see the basis for the vibrant active personality of Kecoughtan High. 7

Mr. Lindsay and Mr. Szetela supervised and Mr. C. Alton Lindsay Superintendent of Schools School boards and school superintendents everywhere must have tasks and problems in common. Certainly these boards make the big decisions and solve the problems aris- ing from the operation of a school system. Also these dedicated citizens guide and plan for new methods and materials to improve the functioning of their schools. Mr. C. Alton Lindsay served Hampton as the Superinten- dent of Schools. He worked closely and effectively with the members of the School Board. New schools were projected on drawing boards, plans for their construction were approved, and sites were selected. Each year has seen the necessity for providing more classrooms, employing more teachers, purchasing more equipment, and updating instruc- tional techniques. The School Board, with the guidance and information provided by Mr. Lindsay, has served Hampton and its schools effectively in these ways. All the School Board members keep in close touch with the schools. They visit the schools and attend school func- tions in official and unofficial guises. The public may attend meetings of the School Board and Hampton ' s citizens find that Mr. Lindsay and the School Board members are always willing to listen to their questions and furnish answers and solutions to their problems.
