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.

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.

by the Guidance and Library staffs. The library serves as a refuge for students to escape the daily routine of class. Miss Nancy H. Spain Librarian B.S., East Carolina College Sponsor: Library Club Audio-Visual Club Each fall, when Kecoughtan ' s students return, they find that one departmental section has grown. More of every- thing— books, magazines, records, films, and audio-visual equipment — this seems to be a constant goal of the Library staff. Miss Nancy Spain, Mrs. Ethel Brockley, and Mrs. Arnette King were kept busy with cataloguing, filing, and shelving the new items. They found time to train students as library aides, and to teach interested boys the operation of the various items of audio-visual equipment. A new unit for microfilming printed materials of all kinds was put into use. The operation of this was an added task, but its efficiency and its contribution to space-saving more than made up for any additional work it caused. Throughout the year, the students and faculty members found the Library to be a pleasant place to work and to study. They also found the Library staff to be ready and glad to help at all times with research and reading problems. Photographers persuade Miss Spain and Mrs. Brockley to take a break from the tedious job of cataloguing books to have their pictures taken. Miss Spain gives Dee Hartsell her daily instructions. First, take their index finger, place it gently on the pad, and then stamp their library card. ' Mrs. Arnette S.
