Text from Pages 1 - 160 of the 1968 volume:

sometimes it is slow and graceful ... other times it is swift but awkward it expresses itself ty of modes In avarie but one thing is certain it is the essence of progress and... Covington Catholic High is not growing in a concrete and steel sense. Our growth is more vital. more dynamic, more permanent. It is an expanded curriculum utilizing new approachs in education, permitting every- one to further develop his aca- demic'capabilities. It is a varied activity program which challenges the students of all academic levels. It is an ever incireasing athletic dynasty, inspiring a desire to win' in a competitive world. It is an alive faculty. commit- ted to the needs of modern youth. It. is a student body with a new sense of leadership and in- volvement. A school on the move . ,. that's CCH it is therefore quite fitting that the 1968 annual is dedicated to the man who is largely responsible for our present growth ... bro. richard strathern s.m. This year has seen a great change in ideas at CCH. The man behind this move- ment is bro. dick strathern. Trust in the student and the student's responsibility were the focal points. bro. dick, during the summer, planned for a senior religion program in which the stu- dent took the responsibility of educating himself with only directive help from the research team. Religion was placed into the life of every senior. In the progressive system instituted by bro. dick the respon- sibility for behavior was placed where it belongs a on the students themselves. Academically a student received help before it was too late through the Hon call system also introduced this year. Forthese and many more reasons we. the student body, gratefully thank bro. dick strathern, a man with the student's welfare fogemost in his mind, academic council The field of social studies is probably one of the strongest at CCH. The stu- dent begins his study with the very general courses of World History and US. History offered in thefreshman and sophomore years. He may then specialize in his particular interest of study with the National or Modern His- tory courses offered as electives in the junior and senior years. History is an ever-changing subject and it is the aim of the social studies department to keep in step with it. It seems appropriate to introduce the academics section with the most prominent growth in the area. This is the Academic Council, a group which appeared at CCH for the first time this year. The council provides for the changes in the field of academics, improving, whenever possible, the studies and the curriculum of the stue dent body. social studies Religion has become a much more meaningful course this year at CCH, especially in the senior division. The fourth year curriculum has included many noted speakers and films. These enabled the seniors to get a look at all the sides of the problems which seem to be pressing in our world today. Discussion has become a very vital part of reli- gion. Bydiscussion students areforced tothinkaboutthe problems. Taking their cue from the seniors, the under- classmen also shared in the growth. On the whole these courses gave the students a real lookattheworldaround them. Latin, German and French com- prise the courses under this title. Varied approaches have been taken in the instruction of these languages. Film strips. movies, tapes and outside literature all have been used in a continuing effort to grow in the direction of a progressive program. Translat- ing, reading and grammar have been stressed in varied degrees. all striving to enlighten the stue dents to the greatest extent. Con- stant effort insured better classes and a greater degree of learning. 7er - l7 ' v our m T . -- ,- . Vflme u. .. .q ' iigits DVEKT'SIEllmh The practical subjects of the business world have been pre- sented in a manner which would be most beneficial to the students. Bookkeeping and economics included the facts and a working knowledge in order to equip the students with the necessary tools for their success in these areas in the business world. The ever- changing field of economics provides the many facets needed for an interesting, many sided class, business The English c0urses are the most important courses a student takes at CCH. in the four regular courses and in the elective courses of jour- nalism and public speaking and film study. the student learns how to creatively write and speak his lan- guage. From his freshman to his senior year he is led on a fantastic journey through English and Ameri- can literature. t Theory is an important aspect of any school and the artcourse is a perfect example of theory in prac- tice. For one hour each day the stu- dent escapes from the world of text- books and slide rules and has a chance to express himself, to work with his hands, and to create, physical education In an attempt to develop a stu- dent in every aspect of his being, physical education is included in the curriculum. One's activities vary from exercises and running to organized games: of baseball. soccer and basketball. Tumbling and other forms of gymnastics are also not forgotten in the building ofColonelst art The ever-changingfields of the sciences provide the variations of subject matter necessary for dynamic courses. With the elec- tive courses of second year biolo- gy and chemistry there is avail- able a curriculum able to nourish any student's curiosity. Learning is shown in its many facets as one advances in his study of science at CCHt mathematics science Math at CCH providesa person with a choice of levels. If interested, he can pursue this subject up to pre-calculus or advanced senior math. This year trigonom- etry was introduced as a more advanced course. guidance Guidance is characterized by the helping of a stu- dent by a qualified, but easy to talk to, faculty memberi In this aspect of a student's life at CCH his problems, both in studies and in his personal iife. are considered. His progress is evaluated and a truthful estimate of his abilities and future pr05u pects are made in the interest of the student. Even more than ever his abilities were taken into consid- eration in his academic placement this year. la E43 $108 a 016.40 Ella I .,- ? 0 , . 7 HWE emu SJOQHBBN ovaTou CATHOLI it's academic The lt's Academic team coached by fr. john mcdermott this year included bob wieck, jim zerhusen, charlie stander and alternate ed walking. Even though they did not meet with success. the team did offer a good representation of CCH. Graduation, for the seniors, marks the end of a four year struggle for higher education. Some await the end of this period with sadness. others look toward their future. Graduation aiso means a time for academic awards and covington catholic is not wanting in this category. Charles stander was the saluta- torian while robert wieck per- formed the duties of the valedic- torian for the class of 1968. This year's ceremonies took place in the cathedral on the seventh of june. graduation a hundred and one pounds of fun. that's my little honey bun. Father mac's production of south pacific proved to be an overwhelming success. As the first stage lights came on, the audience was awed by the magnificent twenty-foot waterfall and the smok- ing volcano. The leads were as follows; as emil - pat feighery and greg carstens; as nellie - debbie tranter and pat feldman; as It. cable - bill kreeb and bob richter; as bloody mary - marsha con- way and jackie burns. The crowd received an exceptional thrill from gary epplen and steve mccafferty in the honey bun scene. The produc- tion was viewed by over 4,000 people and others still had to be turned away. The cast's and the crews' hard work was very well rewarded. tell ya what I'm gonna do. there's a bottle of scotch in my bottom drawer. there is nothin like a dame. come away. come away ball ha'i. we had a hell of a good time, i'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair. my eyes looked down at your lovely face and I held the world in my embrace. the cast the man responsible thelights the orchestra Despite the cold and rainy days of may, a new endeav- or e the spring festival - was a big success.

Saint joe's hail was gaily decorated with a goal post at one end, it was under this goal post that mary burke and jim zerhusen. the school's first home- coming royalty, were enthroned. As you walked from the throne you noticed the drawings of senior foot- ball players which were cleverly placed on the walls. And at the other end of the hall everyone danced to the music of the Hprofs. The eve- ningwas truely a successand one that will always be remembered by this year's seniorclass, I , ' waif- '.' .

Long hours were spent by many in transforming the gym into a colorful kalaidee scope of crepe paper. card- board, and flashing lights. Many prizes were rattled, rang- ing from a live puppy to a hon- da scrambler. The cafeteria was packed as everyone danced to the music of the corvairs. Truly this goes to show what the students of CCH can accomplish when they are unified in one effort. student council If i said that the student council was a complete success this year i would be a fool, but to say that it was a total failure is also absurd. The council was slow getting started, many projects failed to achieve previous successes and in general school spiritwaslow but. i believe this year's council will stand out because of the sig nificant changes that were made. A more efficient. businesselike atmosphere was instilled into the legislative meetings and the or- ganizational structure. We laid the foundation for an extensive committee system and we experi- mented with new communication methods and evaluations.This year was a year of change, a year of experimentation and to be honest with you. we experienced our growing pains r.d. wieck tpresidentl Publicity and art committee types news re- lease on committee business.
