Latham Dean of Girls Sophomore Guidance Counselor Sweet Briar College, A.B. College of William and Mary, M.Ed. Administrative Staff Encouraging and co-operating with students occupied the time of Pembroke ' s administrative staff. Mr. Edward Szetela led the capable members of the staff, Mrs. Eylese Latham, Mr. Roycee Bland, and Mr. Albert Smith, in the performance of their many duties. Problems of absences, discipline, and tardiness were under the care of Mrs. Latham and Mr. Bland. Students with personal problems could seek and obtain help from Mrs. Latham and Mr. Bland. As Director of Athletics for Pembroke, Mr. Bland found more work and problems. The collection of all school-requested fees and the assignment of hall lockers kept Mr. Smith busy, but he also served as sponsor of the SCA and co-sponsor of the yearbook, the CORSAIR. Mr. Bland, Mr. Tucker and Mr. Tyson are involved in a discussion over a problem they encountered. Mrs. Elizabeth Cook, school registrar, busily enrolls Sheryl Peck. 14

Mr. Edward R. Szetela Principal University of Massachusetts, B.A. Cornell University, M.A. College of William and Mary, M.Ed. Man of the Year for ’68 for Hampton. Mr. Szetela shows us what the well-dressed Pirate wears on informal occasions. The position as principal of a re-organized school presented Mr. Szetela with difficulties, problems, and crises. His experience, ability, and understanding enabled him to weather the year, and made Pembroke into the fine school it is. The students, faculty, and staff always found Mr. Szetela to be helpful, co- operative, and sympathetic. Certainly, the honor as Hampton ' s Man of the Year was a deserved one for the first principal of Pembroke High School. In spite of an already heavy schedule, Mr. Szetela lines up another appointment. 13
