Signed: THE CLASS OF ”52 BARCLAY’S MEN’S SHOP Hart, Schaffner Marx Clothes Arrow Shirts — Stetson Hats Main St. Phone: 1600 429 N. Main St. Piqua, Ohio 22 2052 Future Avenue Somewhere, U. S. A. May 14, 1962 Dear Classmate, Upon returning from a tour of the United States, I thought that would drop you a line. I first visited Detroit, Michigan, and Ford automobile factories. As I walked through the main gate, who should I meet but SYLVIA De- WEESE. It seems that she is the test driver for the new Ford auto-jets. While in Chicago I went to a TV station. DONNA GEORGE is do- ing many of their singing commercials. After looking her up, I learn- ed that RICHARD BERGMAN, is the weather forecaster. Upon depart- ing, I found myself opposite Ginn's Department Store. I met JANET GINN, the owner, who told me that RUSSELL LANGSTON was a hair- dresser in her beauty salon. He is the rage of Chicago. Upon arriving in St. Louis and needing a shave and haircut, I tried Yingst’s Clip Joint, LOWELL YINGST, barber. Mr. McNeal, was his inspiration, he had given Lowell so many close shaves in Physics, that Lowell decided to give out a few himself. ELAINE LAUGHMAN had as exclusive women's gym in that city; she is the reducing and body- building instructor. While talking to her in walked FHERN KIMMEL and JOYCE KLINE, professional women basketball players, who owned the St. Louis Blues. Later, as I was about to cross the street an enor- mous truck almost knocked me down, but fortunately, I wasn’t hit. To my surprise, MARILYN ROBBINS was the driver; two other classmates were associated with the Acme Trucking Co., owned by PAT DILTZ. PAT BLAMERT was her secretary and CATHERINE STAMBAUGH was another driver. Since we were blocking traffic, a cop came up; I rec- ognized her as JENNIE SPENCER. After that they had to send the riot squad to break up our conversation and get traffic moving again. I moved on to Seattle, Washington. Later I noticed an item in their paper about Dr. Warner, a noted lady biologist. My curiosity aroused, I went to see. Sure enough it was ELOISE WARNER. She informed me that she was trying to cross minks with apple trees, so that mink coats would grow on trees. Walking down the street, I noticed a big bill- board which advertised cosmetics. SAM'S Cosmetics. I located the factory and found that Sam and Sam were none other than SHIRLEY ANN MAIER and SARA ANN McCOOL. They have invented lipstick and perfume guaranteed to repel men. Shirley and Sara told me that the American representatives to the Olympics were training near Seattle. The first person I saw at the train- ing grounds was JANET POMERANZ, best figure skater in the United States. I stopped in San Francisco about suppertime, where I found a nice little restaurant owned by JOYCE WEAVER. She had invented a sand- wich called the dogburger , made by frying ground hot dogs. Later I decided to go to the wrestling matches. Battling for the Women's Championship was DORIS SLADE. Wow, what a fight! In Las Vegas I found a night club which featured SHIRLEY YOUNG, the bubble dancer. The bouncer of the club was PAUL NORTH, grown to six foot six inches tall. v 4 m, PEARSON’S LAUNDRY Scnitone Dry Cleaning — Rug Cleaning — Linen Supply — Fur Storage Troy, Ohio 23 I boarded my auto-plane and took off for San Antonio, Texas, where I sighted a huge ranch, grazing thousands of horses. I landed my auto- plane on the private runway. As I landed, I heard a voice say, Yuh bettuh be foh movin on, padnuh; it ain’t healthy foh strangers around these hyrh parts. Turning I recognized JANET VIA. She was working for CAROLYN BRUNTON, the ranch owner. They had a contract with CAROL CROFT to supply horse meat for her dog food factory. From San Antonio I went to Dayton, Ohio, where I ate Schaurer's Canned Corned Beef. RAYMOND SCHAURER had succeeded in crossing a cow with corn and owned the world's largest corned beef factory. I bought a news- paper and read the headlines, O' Donnell Frees Client . It was JIM O’ DONNELL, the nation’s finest criminal mouthpiece. I also read that KEITH HENRY was activily campaigning for the governorship of Alaska. BETTY HARTLEY had just opened a membership drive for funds to com- plete a new wing to Miami Valley Hospital, where she was Superin- tendent of Nurses. I journeyed to Covington; factories had sprung up all over the place. Two large factories were; HANNAH MILLER'S Shoe Factory, tor elevat- ed shoes, and Frey, Farmer, Bubble Gum Manufacturers. MARILYN FREY and PAT FARMER had really cashed in on the jawin! Rike's had a subdivision in West Covington, managed by GLADYS YINGST. At the Post Office I met MARY LOU FLETCHER, postmistress there. I noticed a sign saying, Enlist in the U.S. Army, and behind the desk, NANCY FESSLER, who told me that JUDY COATE was the mayor of their city, and that JUDY ARENDALL was the Public Health Nurse. I visited the high school, still the same old joint, in the principal's chair was PAULINE KOELLER. As we talked, the commercial teacher, MARY FREE, walked in. I next stopped in New York City. Passing through the Bronx Zoo, in New York, I recognized someone on a ladder in front of a hippoto- mus, sure enough, it was JIM ROBERTS, pulling hippo teeth. Jim said that several old classmates lived in New York, and he offered to show me around. We went first to an Arthur Murray Dance Studio where we met JERRY MONNIN, the best rumba instructor north of Mexico City. LEOTA SMITH publishes the Men's Home Companion, and KATHLEEN YARIAN, writes love stories for True Confusion. BARBARA BENNETT is the editor and a noted book reviewer. That evening Jim and I went to the Copa Cobana, where we saw RONNIE RHOADES, Juggler King in his Compliments of CLOUGH MOTORS Chrysler and Plymouth Dealer Piqua, Ohio ZIMMERMAN’S JEWELRY Guaranteed Watch and Jewelry Repairing 424 N.

Some of their activities were selling birth- day calendars, and refreshments at the basketball games. They also sponsored dances after the football games and the Homecoming dance. In November, their class play, Act Your Age was a success. Then in May a very lovely reception was given in honor of the seniors. Best Wishes to Seniors of “52” C. R.

The council among several things, pur- chased Christmas Tree Decorations for the school and succeeded in removing the councils name from all debts incurred in the past few years. Serious time and effort has also been employed in providing a student court for the purpose of more safety to pedestrians around the school. If this council is a prediction, Covington High will have some very good councils in the future. The officers for this years council were, Jim Roberts , Pres., Loanne Miller, Vice-Pres., Keith Henry, Treasurer, Marilyn Smith, Secretary. CAP WHITNEY SPORTING GOODS 117 W.

BUCCANEWS STAFF This year a Name the Newspaper” contest was held to procure a new name to replace The Treasure Chest1'. After several fine entries were judged, the staff picked John Reek's entry Buccanews. In an effort to bring a better paper to C.H.S., it was again printed. Several of the staff attended the Miami Valley News- paper Clinic at West Milton in December. It is hoped that through a lively interest in the newspaper on the part of the students and teachers, an even better paper will be produced in the future. Compliments of KAHN'S 318 N.

In the past few years, the name of the Covington High School Band has been closely watched and respected. The band has amassed many honors in both marching and concert work. They have won the trophy for the best marching at the Bradford Punkin Show for the past two years. In concert work, they went to the district con- test and then on to the state where they won an ex- cellent rating. It is hoped that in the next few years the band will reap many more honors and continue to be the fine calibre organization it is. 68 Front Row: Eldon Baker, Ronnie Finfrock, Jane Mutzner, Phyllis Mann, Norma Gump, Joyce Weaver, Sara McCool, Eloise Warner, Leota Smith, Kenny Sholley, Fred Roberts, Director. 2nd Row: Jim Finfrock, Beverly Clark, Barbara O'Roark, Deanne Gish, Pat Hayes, Joyce Finfrock, Brenda Bentz, Betty Hartey, Judy Mutzner, Elaine Arendall. 3rd Row: Riki Roberts, Larry Wallace, Bob Johnston, Loanne Miller, Irene Flick, Judy Coate, Virginia Flick, Esther Fin- frock, Sharon Smith.

ORCHESTRA The orchestra was begun six years ago, and was built around the graduation classes of 1952 and 1953. It grew steadily until it has become the fine group it is today. They entered their first contest in 1950 and proceeded to get straight ones at both the district and state contest. In 1951 they again repeated their act, and just recently they repeated it again to make it three years in a row. The orchestra is a fine organization and it is one of which C.H.S. has right to be proud, for very few schools of our size can boast of any type of orchestra. 69 1st Row: Kimmel, Smith, Miller, Crile, Farmer, Brunton, Wenrick, Kelly, Bergman, Helman, Kuhnle, Zimmer- man, Meyers, Wagner, Smith, Rudy, Alexander, Flory, Finfrock, Fisher, Croft. 2nd Row: Mr. Roberts, Director; Hartley, Arendall, Flick, Madascy, Mutzner, Slade, Alyae, Fesser, Miller, Ginn, Koeller, Laughman, Folck, Knick, Angle, Stanbaugh, Clark. 3rd Row: Fessler, Maier, DeWeese, George, Free,Diltz, Balmert, Ringlespaugh, Powell, Buckingham, Enz, Caldwell, Clark, Coate, Young, McCool, Fletcher, Spencer, Kline, Weaver.

From The President of The Senior Class, Covington High School Class of 1892. Greetings; -- It is just a small matter of sixty years since the class of '92 graduated with great ceremony and high honors in the old armory just across the street south of the school grounds. If old Covington High is living up to the ethics and standards laid down by Mr. Reuben Bennet, School Super- intendent and Mr. Robert Himes, High School Principal, it is a high class institute. Covington had the reputation of having one of the best high schools in that part of the state. I moved to Texas fifty three years ago and have lost contact with the members of my class and I wonder how many of them are left to remember that momentous occas sion. When I arrived in San Antonio it was a town of forty one thousand people. Now there are above a half million folks here. It is one of the leading military cities of the nation and the center of an area that is fast developing into a vast live stock, farming and manufacturing empire. Please extend my heartiest congratulations to the members of the class of 52 and I wish all of you a long, pros- perous and happy career. Very truly yours, Ellis Albaugh Sr 758 E Woodlawn Ave. San Antonio 12, Texas Class of ”92 Ellis Albaugh Park Anderson C. B. Boggs Frank Drake J. E.
