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.

Caison J W Y 9? ,P ,U W tems , f or After winding one's way to the far- thest reaches of Kecoughtan, one will find the Science Department, where as- piring Pasteurs and Einsteins feverishly work under the trained eyes of Colo- nel Roscoe Barber and the other in- structors in the Physical and Natural Sciences. Col. Barber was well-qualified for his occupation as a Physics teacher and as sponsor of the Science Club. His aca- demic experience includes attending the United State Military Academy, the University of North Carolina, and the University of Calif. at Berkeley. This impressive classroom record has been augmented by his career as an engi- neering officer in the Army. This also enables him to apply the principles of Physics to real world situations, mak- ing the class a little less painful for his students. Through his successful career and solid record as a teacher at Kecoughtan, Col. Barber has proven himself to be a man dedicated both to his profession and to the education of young people. l . 48 1? . iz faymm we . ,, ui. .fr ' ,A ,. if-pswma-'f 7 ft 'B 1 rs. A, Hin Mr. L.
