12 English READIN' WRITIN' AND ? English. How many students cringed at the thought of research papers, clas- sical novels, poetry, and numerous oth- er projects English teachers assigned? But because of the wide variety of classes available to students, English was probably one of the most interest- ing areas of study at Kecoughtan. Leading the English department through another year, Mr. Garland Wesson handled all of the responsibil- ities that accompanied that position. In addition to teaching his own classes, he assigned other English teachers their classes, helped arrange schedules, and acted as an instructional aid to the staff. Students needing extra help with their English skills found it in Mrs. Jeanette Johnson's special education classes. This was Mrs. Johnson's first year back at Kecoughtan after an ab- sence of twelve years, during which she taught at Phoebus and Pembroke High Schools. She quickly involved herself with the school community by extending a helping hand to other new- comers, the sophomores which she aid- ed in getting organized. Reading one of his student's essays, Mr. Wesson is im- pressed by the writing style. Disappointed by his students test grades, Mr. Vandervort encourages them to do better next time.

ABOUT NUMBERS Why do I need to learn this? What good will learning this do? In addition to answering questions such as these, math teachers faced the tedious task of teaching such mathematical expressions as sine, cosine, slope, program, the dis- tance formula, and the Pythagorean theorem to not always attentive stu- dents. These teachers faced a never- ending job of instructing the finer points in mathematics, and for them the day did not end with the final bell at 2:45. While the students were at home preparing their homework, the math teacher was busy grading papers, attending department meetings, and making lesson plans. For those math wizards who main- tained excellence in math, there was K Mr. Robert Cronau Mrs. Barbara Young 14 Mathematics membership in the Math Honor Soci- ety, sponsored by Mr. John Quinn. While trying to encourage students in their study of math with the Math Hon- or Society, Mr. Quinn sponsored the Key Club as well. When he discovered that the Key Club would fold without a sponsor, he offered his service because he believed that it was a worthwhile club. Even though Mr. Quinn was busy teaching his classes and sponsor- ing clubs, he still found time to belong to, and participate in, several organiza- Mrs. Peggy Winston Mrs. Oreta Watkins tions. Included in these organizations were the Penn State Alumni Associ- ation, William and Mary Alumni Associ- ation, American Federation of Teach- ers, National Teachers of Math, and the American Meteorology Society.
