■ i t The Leopard Cove High School Covey Oregon 1988 2 Albertsons Achieving a special bond The students of Cove High have always felt a special bond. Whether it be between them- selves, teachers, or coaches, it’s always there. This bond is apparent when Cove comes out on top in the state championship football game, when a teacher stays late or comes in early to help a student, when a teacher makes a stu- dent work hard and the student understands why, when Cove makes it to state for the first time in volleyball or when a student asks a teacher or coach for personal advice. The memories of this closeness will appear on the pages of the 1988 LEOPARD. Top left Tracy Sandy majoring in ketchup calligraphy. Above left I'd be embarrassed to be seen with Kevin too, Russ!

Season Review At the start of volleyball season, the coach asked the girls to come up with a realistic goal as to how many games they could win out of their first twelve. The team decid- ed on ten. At that time, the girls never dreamed that they would wind up going 32-3. The Cove Leopards volleyball team was 25-0 before they lost to Grant Union, an A school, in three matches. The girls set many firsts during their very successful season. They went undefeated in Olde Oregon League play, finished first at Dis- trict, and were the first Cove Vol- leyball team to go to State, proudly bringing home the third place tro- phy. Along with these accomplish- ments, they also claimed first at the Jo-Hi Tournament, Pine Eagle Tournament, Enterprise Tourna- ment, and the annual Cove Tour- nament. U.S. Bank 5 Back: Coach J.

They were working hard as a team, pushing for their goal of having more wins than loses. They achieved their goal, ending the season with a 17-3 record. All of the girls felt positive about the good season and hope there is as much improvement next year.

For the first time in the history of Cove Volleyball, the Leopards won a District Championship, to quali- fy for State. Defeating Long Creek 15-6,15-6 they then went on to out play their arch rival. Prairie City, 15-5,6-15,15-5. In the Champion- ship game, they conquered Crane 15-4, 13-15, 15-5 for the number one spot going into State. In the first game at State, the Lady Leopards overcame Christ Center 15-6, 15-6 to then go on and play Culver in the second round. The girls were defeated by Culver 13- 15, 15-10, 6-15, but they put up a good fight going into three matches. Culver then went on to beat St. Paul for the State Cham- pionship. For third place Cove and Crane fought it out. Cove being the victors. Scores were 17-15, 15- 5. Above: The Leopards show off the Dis- trict trophy. Below: Volleyball Team posing with State trophy.

As you may already know from the opening questions, it would have to be Leonard Good- son, “better known as Cove's number one fan. When the students were asked to describe him this is what they had to say, “I can remember him out on the football field with his knee high rubber boots on, keeping time for the football game.”—Kevin McBride. “An irreplacable asset to this school.”—Will Ryan. “He’s the type of guy that everyone looks up to.”—lan Hurley. “When an athlete feels like they’re on their own, he takes the feeling away and gives you confidence. He’d follow us to the end of the earth, if necessary.”—Pam Endi- cott. “1 think it is truly a special gift for our school to have a man so dedicated that he puts the success of our school’s athletics before his own personal needs.”—Dani Folson. “He’s the type of person that all the kids look up to for a word of encouragement. He’s always on the bus, no matter where the trip is, sitting on the rock hard seats, without a word of complaint.”—Russ Hafer. Everyone at the school feels the same way about Leonard Goodson. Things wouldn’t be the same if there weren't a Mr. Goodson to give a “Go get ’em before the game or a “Congratulations after a game. Leonard Goodson, the man behind the success of the Cove Leopards.

The season opener was against Mt. Vernon. After going through two weeks of hot, sweaty, painful, double sessions, it was all about to be put through the test. The last week had been a little slow, and the Seniors noticed it. Our main objective was to keep the team high in spirit this year, and it paid off. When game time came, you could see the emotion in all of the eyes of the players. After the Leopards 73-yard drive the Mt. Vernon Bears held the Leopards on fourth down, on the three yard line with 2:20 to play in the first quarter. At the start of the second Quarter the Leopards let loose a rampage on the Bears. In nine plays the Leopards were on the board with 7:46 to play in the half. From there on. the Leopards unlcached what it had. and when the final horn blew, the Leopards were the victors, 38-0 over the Bears. Over the course of the season, the Leopards faced many formidable, old Oregon league, op- ponets but always came out on top. Prairie City was a close game, the Leopards winning only by two points, after falling behind by six, late in the fourth quarter with 3 minutes left in the game. On an 11 play, 80 yard drive, the Leopards pulled ahead with only a few sec- onds left in the game. Burnt River was to close to let out a breath of relief. With 3:35 left to play, the Leopards took the lead and held on to it for keeps. The 8 points were the main factor in the game. The Leop- ards only recorded one loss this season, against the Wallowa Cougars, an A-School from the Wapiti league. In the regular season the Leop- ards out scored their foe's, 344 points to 95 points. Hair Shack 11 On November 28, 1987, a bright, sunny day, the Leopards set out for La Grande to play in one of the most crucial games of their lives. The seniors knew that this would be their last foot- ball game. Tensions were high and butterflies were in everyone's stomach. Once game time arrived, the team was pumped up and ready to risk it all all for each other. After kickoff, the nerves of the team were more relaxed. On Cove's first possession, they lost the ball on the 3rd down, only to have the St. Paul team slowly move down the field to score. On Cove's second possession, they ran a pass from Kenny to Will and scored, tying the game 8 to 8. The whole game was an uphill battle for the Leopards. The Buckaroos would score, then the Leopards would play catch-up ball. At half time, the coaches had a long talk with the team, encouraging them to do their best. The score was 21-14 in favor of the Bucks. The Leopards came out ready for action. They stopped the Bucks from scoring, which gave the Leopards the chance to tie the game. With the score 28 to 28 and 3:45 remaining in the game, the Leopards drove for the last score. They scored with 33 seconds left in the game. The Bucks tried to score, throwing a couple of desperation passes, but as the final seconds ran out. they knew it was no use. After the big celebration, the team knew they had broken the state record with 4 wins out of 6 times of playing in the state game, the most ever by any school in Oregon history.

Canned Food Warehouse 13 Spirit Week Spazmania The seniors dominated, as usual, in our various spirit week competi- tions this year. The other classes managed to have their share of the glory and fun, nevertheless. The seniors were able to take the egg, orange, and tiolet paper com- petition on bonfire night. They tied with the Juniors in the cheering competition. The Juniors won the dress-up con- test. They had a few real memora- ble standouts among them. Aaron Miles managed to miraculously win the all-around geek award, and not to say the rest of the class didn’t clean up on nerd day. The triumphant sophomores lost the weeklong trials with no wins what so ever. They have big plans for next year though, even if they didn’t get to do the desired things they wanted to the freshmen. Watch out next year Cove ! The freshmen captured third place with one win, the noise parade. As a real shock to all of us, the fresh- men did what they do best, make noise, and be rowdy. They eagerly accepted the annual punishment of initiation with broad smiles, and lot’s of enthusiasm. The dance, ending off spirit week, was a big success. The turnout was almost 90% and everyone had a great time. The decorations brightened up the wintered faces, and cheered everyones night. Good job Sophomores! From the seniors we heard it through the grapevine. From the Juniors we saw the true personal- ities break through, and from the over-spirited Sophomores we saw bottled up enthusiasm. The Fresh- men showed us their blooming ma- turity. All in all, it was a week we will never forget for at least 100 years.

Spirit week was full of great costumes and noon time entertainment. The Bon Fire was canceled, so in place there was a mass pep assembly. The competition was fun for everyone; each class competed in the toilet paper wrap, the orange pass, and the air band. The Seniors won the competition. The Homecoming games were good and bad. The Harper-Cove vol- leyball game was won by the tough Cove girls team; however, the football game was won by the Wallowa Cougers.

View Paint When you were five years old, you couldn’t wait to start school, but as the years went on, you found out what it was like to be known as the “Big Man on Campus”. First came the time you ad- vanced to the sixth grade. You became known as the king of the playground and all the low- er graders looked up to you in admiration. But as sixth grade came to an end, so did your im- age; you had to start up the lad- der again. You became known as an irritating seventh grader. And as if that weren’t enough, the girls in your class felt you were too immature for them. They needed a mature, strong, studly eighth grader (so in other words, you were dirt). But soon your reign ended as a king once again. Then the ugliest thing ever imagined happened: you be- came a Freshman. As a Fresh- man, you were basically un- heard by the upperclassmen ex- cept when they felt like amusing themselves by throw- ing a welcoming party for you. After you endured your intro- duction to high school, you moved into your Sophomore year, which was pretty quiet. You were between the stages of being an underclassman or an upperclassman. Then your Junior year finally came along. You finally be- came an upperclassman. You had your car, and you started being noticed, but you still had to answer to the Seniors. -1988- the best and final year of your high school years. The long waited title of being a Sen- ior arrived. In the halls, the un- derclassmen bowed to your his- toric presence. What could you do but feel pity for the poor peasants? You definitely got your fair share of fame and glo- ry as a Leopard in 1988. Above left: Russell chants, “I'm bad. I'm bad. Below: We know what you're up to.

Even though the concession brings in money, it isn’t always amusing. Most of the juniors say, “It’s a job you have to do,” “It’s a learn- ing experience,” and “Another responsibility given to you.” This year the juniors opened the concession stand during the state football game. The job was very difficult. Besides running out of coffee and popcorn, the microwave wouldn’t work to heat the cinnamon rolls. Everybody was picky.

Most everyone else has had their permit for at least a few months. The most frequent comment received when these li- cencebearers were asked about the advan- tages of a licence, was that it brings more freedom to their social life. To some of the upperclassmen, however, the thrill of driv- ing is gone, and instead they are treating it like a chore to get out and drive.

Don't be shy. The dreaded obstacle of the fresh- man year was initiation, which was held during spirit week. The main event was eating raw eggs. Everybody wanted to get the raw egg down, but four could not. The reaction from those four were. “It was slimy.” “It was warm.” “It was disgusting. The reactions to the rest of the week were the following: ANDREA’ ROGERS could not keep her nose and forehead off the floor and she got a floor burn while pushing pennies. TRACY TRUDEL thought that carrying the piece of sticky gum on her nose was gross. DUSTY SMITH did not enjoy carrying SAGE ELMER across the street. TONY PETERSON did not think much of the gum and having to put it on his nose. The class of 91 is I in making noise. Tony, the future housewife of America.

Mrs. Gatley “Only Sophomores know the Basics of Geometry Mrs. Campbell Every year the teachers at Cove High encourage the students to attain as much knowledge as their minds can acquire. Even though all of it might not sink in as much as they would like, they don’t give up hope until they know it’s useless. The students here don’t realize how lucky they are to have such persistent teachers that nag at them to get their work done, and pester them until they know the information. You will find that each teacher has their own distinct trait, such as Mr. Towle and his obsession with num- bers; Mrs. Rager’s excessive vocabu- lary; Mr. Macke's gift of lectures; Mr. Thcw’s slow rate of speaking. Then there is Mrs. McGilvray’s ex- pertise on the basketball court; (Prin- cipal) Mr. John Ott’s exciting interest in jeep racing; Mrs. Campbell’s ex- ceptional amount of patience; Mr. Periera’s intensity; Mr. Martin’s sin- cerity; Mrs. Gatley’s musical talents, and last but not least practically ev- eryone likes Cove High’s Superinten- dent and basketball coach, Mr. Gene Mills Above: “Sophomores practicing fast-finger skills” Right: Mrs. McGilvray Si- Mr. Macke “FLASH . . .

Girls capture third state title The l.adv leopards had an excellent season They had only one loss at the first of the season, losing to l.aPinc in the Union tourney. The girls then started playing as a team, and they did not have another loss until they traveled to Jordan valley and Crane The leopards lost both of them by slim margins. The Cove leopards then became second in league standings. The girls went into district ready to get back on a winning streak They did so by winning district. The lady leopards kept that winning streak going the rest of the season. Believing is achieving the opportunity to be able to chant. “We arc champions! The varsity team was on a vision quest throughtout the season. They just kept getting one step closer to March fifth. The championship game. The leopards tool each game as seriously as if it were March fifth. The players wanted to w in state to see how it felt, but they especially wanted to win state for their coach. The state game was a dose, exciting game.. At half time the score was tied at fifteen. With 7:17 left in the fourth quarter, the leopards were up by nine. One of F.ddyvillc’s starters made two three pointers in eleven seconds. Now Cove was up by three points Which ever team wanted it more would win. Cove came out on top with a 31 to 28 win. During the tournament. Cove broke a state tourney record which was held by the 1978 Leopards team. In one game they only turned the ball over ten times. The 1988 team only turned the ball over eight times. By wining. Cove also now holds the record for winning the most state titles with three. The girls deserved to win state. They worked hard from the end of November till March fifth.

Most of the students at Cove High were anxious to get a great looking tan before the Prom, and were out spending their spare time in the sun.

Individually, Jennie Thew had a plethora of first places this year with a personal best of 5'4.

We danced amidst the billowed clouds, shimmery walls, and the starry, silvery stairway to the heavens. Anticipation is evident on the faces of all these angels awaiting their walk up the stairway. 56 J.C. Penny’s Rcxall Drugs Excuse me one moment while I puke my guts out from all of the excite- ment.
