A spellbound Mrs Ruth Ann Edwards stares at a faculty speaker at the banquet It happens every ten years Restless administrators pace the halls in ominous silence Flustered teachers scurry to and fro. tidying their cluttered rooms, while weary students repeatedly endure the plea. PLEASE behave while they ' re here! Typewriter keys bang faster and the red pencil snaps easier as a univer- sal anxiety grips the school . . . Perhaps the arrival of the Visiting Committee for Kecoughtan High School ' s Evaluation was not quite that melodra- matic, but it was an unusual and exciting experience for both the students and ad- ministration. Comprised of 25 high school and college instructors and ad- ministrators from Virginia, the committee conducted a comprehensive study of school facilities, faculty, student body, student activities, and curriculum on April 1 9-22, with the purpose of providing for Kecoughtan an analysis of their strengths and weaknesses. The study entailed classroom observations by com- mittee members, and a discussion on school activities between a group of Kecoughtan students and a panel of eval- uators. And so, as the evaluators departed, Kecoughtan returned to normal; teachers and students became themselves again — until ten years from now . . . After an evening of faithful service at of their labor: a free gourmet dinner the evaluation banquet, famished Key Clubbers and Keyettes enjoy the fruits Special Events — 28
