CLARENCE MILLHOUSE J. ROBERT CARDER FRANK MILLER, JR. Board of Education Works for Growth of Covington High Both routine and new problems were presented to the Covington Board of Education for the 1957- 58 school year. The school board, confronted with the question of what to do with the old elementary building, which was built in 1896, but had been vacated in the fall of 1956, asked the “Citizens Committee for Better Schools” to study the problem. After much study and deliberation, they recommended to have the building razed. The board followed the recom- mendations of the committee. Each year new highs are established in enroll- ment. Each year there were 1083 enrolled in our school system, of these 505 were transported and approximately 700 were served lunch each day at the cafeteria. In January, Mr. Robert Carder and Mr. Frank M. Miller, Jr. replaced Dr. Conrad C. Clippinger and Mr. Kermit Stade as board members. As a result of a survey, conducted by the Citizens Committee, it was decided to offer three adult edu- cation courses—typing, industrial arts, and driver training. PAUL FINFROCK HOWARD BUCHANAN MR.

If, as you turn its pages in the years to come, the contents of this volume can bring a smile to your lips and a glow to your heart, the staff will feel that they have made a real contribution to the glory of Alma Mater.

Club develops leadership among its members as well as teaching them a better and more complete understanding of farming. F.F.A. started the year by taking the entire chapter to the “World Plowing Contest” in Peebles, Ohio. They later sent delegates to the National Livestock Expedition held in Chicago, Illinois. The delegates were Chalmer Mader, George Finfrock, Roger Clark, and Gene Adams. F.F.A. boys also competed in a parliamen- tary procedure contest in West Milton, Ohio, where they won second place. They later pre- sented a demonstration of parliamentary pro- cedure to the Covington Kiwanis Club. At the annual F.F.A. and F.H.A. Banquet, nine boys were awarded Chapter Farmer de- grees. They were Nelson Apple, Denny Kissner, John Spraunce, George Finfrock, Roger Clark, Jim Rike, Jim Sampson, Larry Clouse and Bill Wirrig. Mr. Kermit Stade and Mr. Herbert Schmid- lapp were presented honorary degrees for their assistance to the chapter. F.F.A. boys working in the shop. Future plans of the club range from ath- letic contests, land and livestock judging con- tests, to attendance at the state-wide F.F.A. Convention. This convention is composed of chapters ffom all over the state of Ohio. Contests of all sorts and exhibitions compose most of the Convention’s activities.

Hi-Y Has Rush of Activities Hi-Y Club started the year off with a rush of activities. The officers attended two camps this year, Camp Kern and Camp Nelson Dodd. There they learned their re- sponsibilities as officers and how to perform their duties better and more efficiently. With the help of capable advisors, the officers planned the club’s forthcoming ac- tivities and projects for the year. Hi-Y also sent a representative to the Y.M.C.A. “Youth in Government Forum” this year. This is a model legis- lature held in the state capitol in Columbus, Ohio. Rep- resentatives from all over the state form a model legis- lature where they carry on business and pass bills just like our real legislature. Another high spot in the club’s activities this year was an annual faculty basketball game sponsored by Hi-Y. In this game the Covington faculty was pitted against the Newton school faculty. Money from this game and other money making projects is used for such purposes as the club’s annual pledge to “World Service,” dues to the Ohio, West Virginia Branch of the Y.M.C.A. and edu- cational films. Officers this year were: Bill Bentz, president; Jim Davis, vice president; David Ray, secretary; Dana More- land, treasurer; Fritz Bader, chaplain.

Gains New Standards F.T.A. seeks to train young people through prac- tice for professional and civic leadership. It en- courages young people to cultivate in themselves the qualities of personality and character which are the foundations of successful teaching. Covington Kiwanis made it possible for the F.T.A. to spend a day at Wittenburg College in Spring- field observing classes, talking with the dean, tour- ing the campus, and listening to a panel discussion on the future of teaching. The club made this trip February 28. During the Christmas teachers’ meeting the club served refreshments as one of their projects. As an- other project, the club took over the teaching re- sponsibilities of the grade school for a day. This enabled them to become more familiar with the re- sponsibilities of a teacher. This year’s officers are: Kay Thompson, presi- dent; Karen Byers, vice president; Mary Beatty, secretary and treasurer; Sharon Thompson, his- torian and reporter.

In doing so. jhe club par- ticipates in the Community Chest Drive, Polio Fund Drive and many other worthy projects. The Club earns money for its treasury by having scrap drives, work days, dances, etc. The money is used to help pay the cost of sending representa- tives to the state and international Key Club Con- vention. This year the Key Club received a new advisor in the person of Mr. Larry Hillman. Mr. Hill- man is Covington’s new band director, and was, at one time, in the Key Club himself. The usual Thursday night meetings were switched to Wednesday noon luncheon meetings held in the band room of the elementary building. Meetings consist of the usual business meeting plus a program consisting of guest speakers and films. The Key Club sent Jan Christian, Gary Carder, Bill Bentz, David Ray, Rex Thompson and Fritz Bader as delegates to the District Convention of Key Clubs at Ohio State.

Music in the Air What are those pleasant sounds which ring through the halls every Tuesday and Friday? Why, that’s the High School Chorus diligently rehears- ing for their next appearance. Hours of practice plus a good director and accompanist finally brings them the desired results, when it comes time to present a program. The type of songs being sung Miss Carole Gerhard, who is in her first year of teaching music at Covington High, directs the chorus in preparation for a concert given at Easter time. i can be guessed by looking at their faces. A novelty or jazz number will put a smile on their faces, while their bounce weakens the floor. When a spiritual is sung, an earnest and sincere look will appear. Al- though the chorus did not make many appearances this year, a special closeness was felt by all. Miss Gerhard directs baritones Fritz Bader, Bob Jacquemin, David Ray, Larry Robbins, Carl Mohler, and Charles Yingst. Band Under New Direction . . . Under the very capable direction of Mr. Larry Hillman, the Covington High School Band participated as a inarching unit at all of the football games. They came home with second-place honors at the annual Bradford Pumpkin Show, and traveled to Oxford, Ohio to take part in the colorful Miami University Band Day, which included twenty other high school bands. At each of the home basketball games, the band was represented by a Pep Band, composed of approxi- mately fifteen members. As a Concert Band, two con- certs were presented; and another concert was ex- changed with a nearby school. The band has been very fortunate in being a yearly contest winner, and participating regularly in both the District and State B-2 Band, Solo and Ensemble Con- tests.

Buccs Enjoy a 12 to 3 Record Under the capable coaching of Blair Irvin, assisted by Bob Wion, a team composed of seasoned veterans gave Covington one of their best basketball seasons. Behind a strong front line, the guards gave the speed and deft ball-handling needed to pull the team above average. A good reserve bench provided the team with the added strength needed to make the Buccs a real threat in the Stillwater Valley League. Ralph Marshall, center and captain, pro- vided the height needed to control the back- boards in most of the games and was always high in the point department. A soft hook shot was forward Bob Hartley’s best shot. Bob teamed up with Ralph to grab rebounding honors. Jan Christian, forward, provided a good shot from the corner and gave the speed de- sired in the front line. Gary Carder, guard, and one of the best shooters on the team, scored on drives down the center. Ballhawk for the team was John Boehringer. His spirit and excellent ball-handling rounded out the team.

Covington Reserves Gain Experience The Bucc Reserve squad closed the season with a heart-breaking loss to the Brown reserve squad by a 34 to 33 score. The season was one of joys and heartaches for the team coached by Mr. Blair Irvin. The boys won three games and lost ten. Three of the games lost were by one point, and one game ended with a two- point deficit for the Buccs. Victims of the Buccs were Franklin-Monroe, Tipp City, and Versailles. Mike Cottrell, captain and center, worked hard off the boards to gain high honors in the rebound- ing department and had a good hook shot. Steve Wells, forward, worked the corners very well and was a high scorer for the Buccs. Playing the other forward position was Danny Cottrell, who shot well and got his share of the re- bounds. Bob Jacquemin and Fred Davis played the guard spots. Both boys had good outside shots and handled the ball very well. Fred was high-point man of the team. Fred and Bob each played on the varsity squad, also. In the latter part of the season, George Yingst came off the bench to play for the injured Fred Davis. George’s rebounding and spirit aided the team greatly. The bench was good with the strength divided fairly evenly.

Squad Handicapped by Lack of Depth and Experience . . . Covington High School’s track squad of 1957 had a slow season due to lack of depth and experience. Rodney Sampson, breaking the school shotput record, led the Buccs to a close third place in the Stillwater Valley League Meet. Bill Bentz won the discus event for the only first place points for the Buccs in the Little Buckeye League Meet. Pace setters in the Invitational Meet were Gary Carder with 8 points and Bill Bentz with 4% points. Gary Carder, who was the only member of the squad to qualify for the state meet at Columbus, was the top scorer for the Buccs for the season. Since the leading three Buccaneer lettermen will be returning, this ’58 season should be a much better one. Besides being older, more experienced, and stronger, the Buccs will get help from some promising freshmen. Gary Carder, far left, clears the high jump bar with ease.

Losing only two seniors, the pros- pects for the next few years will be very good. The team played the majority of their games away, with the Brown and Piqua Catholic games being post- poned. Ralph Marshall receives assistance from the infield to put out Piqua Catholic man. ■ Srafe Malcolm Perrine scores against Piqua Catholic 1957 BASEBALL SCHEDULE Date Opponent Where We They April 8 Miami Central There 8 3 April 11 Bethel There 5 2 April 16 Piqua Catholic There 11 8 April 18 Brown There Postponed April 22 Bradford There 12 13 April 25 Versailles There 8 18 April 26 Miami Central There 5 2 April 30 Newton There 10 9 May 9 Piqua Catholic Here Postponed May 16 Piqua Catholic Here 5 2 May 8—Little Buckeye Meet A Piqua Catholic man is tagged out by catcher, Rex Thompson.
