GUIDANCE TREK A fearsome din rose in the still, sensitive sophomore as he proceeded on his first journey to that legendary region —that final frontier of Kecoughtan High School called ... the Guidance Depart¬ ment! Rounding the corner into Corridor 3, the student apprehensively opened the door, marveling at his own courage. Once inside, he found his surroundings to be quite the opposite of what he had ex¬ pected. He looked in amazement, not be¬ lieving what his eyes told him. Instead of Klingons hiding in dark corners, as he had imagined, there were nice earthly people who actually seemed helpful! Our brave sophomore ' s eyes wandered more confidently about the small cubicle until they saw a panel of multi-colored name cards pasted on the wall. He supposed that the counselors were divided into color-coded battle groups: Mr. Arnold Ritt and Mrs. Minnie Bembry were the green task force; Mrs. Alma Luck and Mrs. Jane Price made up the powerful orange task force; and Mr. Harold Parrish and Mr. Sidney Williams composed the red force. To the sophomore, they looked like an enterprising crew. The experience was too much for the sophomore, and over¬ whelmed by it all, he fainted. Little did he know that he would soon discover the nurse ' s office! A CLEAN DESK IS Keeping his desk consistent with his wall poster, Mr. Arnold Ritt proves that he has a healthy mind. I ' ll give you all my sophomores for a senior, bargains Mr Harold Parrish. On the edge of her chair with suspense, Mrs. Jane Price listens intently to a student ' s schedule problem 12-FACULTY

PREAMBLE We, the librarians of Kecoughtan High School, in order to form a more perfect library, establish rules, insure educational tranquility, provide a book detector for the common defense, promote the gen¬ eral welfare of the students, and secure the payments of overdue books to our¬ selves and to our future readers, do or¬ dain and establish this policy for the good of the Kecoughtan Library. ARTICLE I - RULING DEPARTMENT All ruling powers herein granted shall be vested in the librarians of Kecoughtan, which shall consist of a Head Librarian and aides. Ms. Nancy Spain, Head Librarian, and Ms. Mary Owen, Assistant Librarian, gov¬ erned the library with the help of Mrs. jean Owen, Mrs. Betty Bishop, and eight student aides. ARTICLE II-DUTIES OF LIBRARIANS Duties of a librarian shall be to provide helpful material, and to assist students in locating resources. Ms. Spain ' s numerous responsibilities included requisitioning sup¬ plies, ordering books, preparing annual re¬ ports, circulating pertinent material, and supervising the Library Club. In the Audi- Visual Center, Ms. Owen checked equip¬ ment, catalogued tapes, microfilm, film¬ strips, records, etc. ARTICLE III-LIBRARIAN STUDENT RELATIONS Full faith and credit will be given to the students and the librarian may, by general rules, prescribe the manner by which the students ' behavior is controlled. Due to a loss of books, the library in¬ stalled an electric book detector which cut down on the number of references and books removed from the library. A fine of three cents a day was charged for overdue books, and three cents per class period for overdue encyclopedias. Money collected from the fines went into the li¬ brary fund and was used to purchase books, records, and magazines. Without the help of the librarians, stu¬ dents would have been bogged down by checking out unnecessary books, search¬ ing the library for the biography section, and looking under quack for informa¬ tion on ducks. Third shelf on that first row, dear. Ms. Spain helps Linda Scheltens learn the intricacies of library use. Library clerks, Mrs. lean Owen and Mrs. Arline Bishop share a trade joke with head librarian Ms. Nancy Spain while aide Stephanie Shaffer fails to see the humor. 14-FACULTY
