files and records in order. Student records, transcripts, diploma requests, ring orders, fees, dues, fines, funds of all kinds, report cards, IBM cards, and attendance records — somebody had to look after all of these. No one person could have managed all of this, so it is no wonder that the secretarial and clerical staff in the Main Office was kept busy. Mrs. Elizabeth Cook served as secretary to Mr. Szetela, the principal, and as registrar. Through her hands passed the stacks of records, forms, schedules, inquiries, and data items that any school must have. Students and faculty members found Mrs. Cook always willing to listen, to furnish informa- tion, and to help solve problems. The sponsors and treasurers of all school clubs, organiza- tions, and publications soon became very well acquainted with Mrs. Anita McKinley. As the bookkeeper and recorder of all school finances and financial records, she was kept busy. Mrs. Johnnie Tarpley and Mrs. Helen Atwell contributed to the efficient operation of the Main Office. They, too, answered questions and helped smooth paths for the students and faculty. All of these people did their jobs well and aided in making the ' 66-’67 year another active and successful one. Mrs. Hastings hurriedly writes out a report as her anxious patients look on. On a typical day at the Kecoughtan reservation, Mrs. Cook and her assistants will always be busily at work. Mrs. Anita S.

Smith Assistant Principal B.S.. Virginia Polytechnic Institute M. Ed.. College of William Who answered student questions about rules of conduct, school and class attendance, and fees? For the girls, the source of such information was Mrs. Eylese Latham, dean of girls. The boys sought answers from Mr. Fletcher Gray and Mr. Albert Smith. These individuals did more than just answer questions, however. Mr. Smith was co-sponsor of the Tomahawk and SCA adviser. He also issued locks, collected student insurance premiums, and tabulated federal forms. Mr. Gray handled attendance and disciplinary problems involving the boys. Tallying the money from ticket sales to athletic events was part of Mr. Gray ' s work, and he also served on the PTA executive board. Problems of all kinds were frequently pre- sented to Mrs. Latham by the girls. She was always willing to listen and to help. Without these efficient and friendly people. Kecoughtan students would often have felt lost and bewildered. Certainly this year saw action in many areas and the assistant admin- istrators did their part to see that Kecoughtan operated efficiently and effectively. You know my alarm clock doesn ' t work. pleads Mr. Gray, but Mrs. Latham will not accept any inadequate excuse, even from Mr. Gray! We ' ve caught Mr. Gray and Mr. Smith loafing in Mrs. Latham ' s office. Mr. Raymond F. Gray Dean of Boys B.A.. Elon College M. Ed., College of William and Mary

Kilbourne Guidance Counselor B.S., East Tennessee State University Sponsor: J.V. Basketball Aid and assistance were provided Mrs. Woods and the welcoming committee gather in the guidance office in preparation for the new sophomores. A larger student enrollment means that all the depart- ments of a school must expand to meet increased demands for services. This year saw the Guidance Department grow a little more by having an additional member on a part-time basis. This year saw other changes and Mrs. Doris Ennis, as chairman of the department, sparked the changes. College information was made available to the students, but they also found that they could get help in obtaining employment, advice on scheduling and diploma requirements, and solutions to personal problems. The sophomores found Mrs. Evelyn Moore always ready to listen and to help. Mrs. Virginia Tyler was sought out by the juniors when they needed advice and assistance. All of the seniors came to know Mr. Gary Kilbourne very well. The new member of the department, Mrs. Martha Jane Woods, served in various capacities. These counselors proved to be not only advisors and guides to the students but also friends. The administration of SCAT, STEP, PSAT, College Board examinations, and Merit Scholarship tests was a func- tion of the guidance counselors. Mrs. Virginia P.
