Foreword This year, 1967- ' 68, has been for Kecoughtan a year of competition, co-operation, entertainment, enthusiasm, achievement, and advancement. In sports, in academics and scholastic endeavors, in dramatic productions, in music, and in forensics — Warriors of Kecoughtan have par- ticipated eagerly and successfully. We, as members of the ’68 Tomahawk staff, feel that the accomplishments of this year cannot be attributed to a single definable factor. Rather, a combination of factors, representative of all phases of school life, operated to make this year— 1967- 68 — a particularly rewarding one. It is the aim of this, the ’68 Tomahawk, to picture the “inner qualities” that we developed in order to create the outstanding events and activities which made our year a unique and successful one. Look, then, to see what we believe are the “inner qualities” -- THE INGREDIENTS TO SUCCESS 5

Maintenance of excellent classroom in- struction, development of new subject areas, and continuance of enthusiastic support of student activities came from the Faculty and Adminis- tration in ’67-’68. The student body found that their Chiefs were always willing to listen, to advise, to help, and to sponsor numerous and varied extra-curricular activities. For the first time, the Faculty and Adminis- tration proved to the students and the community that their talents were not confined solely to the classrooms. In December, the Faculty Frolics gave evidence of unsuspected and previously undisclosed singing, dancing, and acting abilities. This occasion was a great success and will probably become an annual event. Club and class dances needed chaperones, and so did field trips and group attendance at cultural events. Again the Faculty members responded and served. A new event, “Li’l Abner Day”, was inau- gurated and supported whole heartedly by some of the Faculty who showed that they also read the comics. Then, to climax this unusual occasion, other members of the teaching staff participated in a pie-eating-throwing contest while some of the Administration judged the events. Certainly, this untiring and loyal support of the Faculty and Administration in ’67-’68 contributed much to the success of our year.
