Sponsor: Audio- Sonics Club; SCA Co-sponsor: TOMAHAW ' K Mrs. Eylese Miller Latham Dean of Girls Sweet Briar College. A.B. Sponsor: Junior Class Would you believe, Mr. Gray . . . ? The spirited and encouraging Administrative Staff at Kecoughtan consisted of Mrs. Eylese Latham, Mr. Flet- cher Gray, and Mr. Albert Smith. Their major concern was with student and faculty cooperation in the implementing and carrying out of the rules and regulations of the school. As the deans of girls and boys, respectively, Mrs. Lat- ham and Mr. Gray worked with absentee and tardy records and disciplinary action for Kecoughtan students. Conferences with students, teachers, and parents brought noteworthy results and settled various problems. Mrs. Latham also served as sponsor of the Class of ’69, and Mr. Gray was Kecoughtan’s athletic director. Mr. Smith assigned hall lockers, collected and checked Federal forms, aided in disciplinary actions, supervised classroom instruction and performed other assigned duties. He kept in close contact with the students through his sponsorship of the SCA and the Tomahawk staff. Through their contacts with the administrative Staff, the students came to know, to realize, and to appreciate the friendliness and efficiency of these key people. Could these “bums” be our Chief Warrior and his Braves? Raymond Fletcher Gray- Dean of Boys Campbell junior College, A. A. Elon College, B.A. College of William and Mary, M.Ed.

Principal of Pembroke High What else can Mr. Szetela say amid three seniors but “Seniors are great! Edward Robert Szetela Principal University of Massachusetts, B.A. Cornell University, M.A. College of William and Mary, M.Ed. One person at Kecoughtan who haH few moments to sit and relax during the 1967-68 school year was Warrior Prin- cipal Edward R. Szetela. As one whose days began and ended with “Kecoughtan” Mr. Szetela filled his position well. School spirit, en- thusiasm, and concern for the students were ingredients which dominated another successful administrative term. Mr. Szetela was responsible for curriculum planning and organization, supervision of classroom instruction, and guidance of student activities. He represented KHS ably at community affairs and worked closely and successfully with all school officials of the area. In spite of his very busy days, Mr. Szetela was always willing to listen to and advise Warrior students and faculty. While the members of the Warrior reservation will miss Mr. Szetela, they all wish him the best of luck and success in his new appointment as principal of Pembroke High School. “Look alive staff. Big Chief’s coming.” 9

with their daily problems and needs “Sally, how many times do 1 have to tell you, leave the boys alone when they aren’t feeling well! Every office needs a cheerful and efficent reception- ist, and Mrs. McKinley is just that person for Kecoughtan. Mrs. McMinn and Mrs. Cook find that being pho- tographed offers a relaxing moment. The main office was the scene of constant daily activity at the Warrior reservation. Filling the positions of recep- tionist, clerk, registrar, bookstore manager, or nurse, each member of the office staff worked to keep Kecoughtan running smoothly. Mrs. McKinley, Mrs. McMinn, and Mrs. Cook were staff members with clerical duties. As receptionist and bookkeeper, Mrs. McKinley was busy, while Mrs. McMinn handled mimeographing and typing work for K.H.S. All new students were referred to Mrs. Cook who served as registrar. Ordering junior class rings and co-sponsoring the Senior class, were additional responsibilities for Mrs. Cook. As bookstore manager, Mrs. Easter had the respon- sibilities of issuing textbooks and operating the student supplies store. Mrs. Hastings, the school nurse, fulfilled her role by keeping Kecoughtan students and teachers at the peak of health. The office staff willingly assisted inquiring students, parents, and teachers.
