As members of the Future Teachers of America, eleven students of Covington High School gained experience in the teaching field by acting as substitute teachers for the elementary grades. Of the eleven, four of them served as officers-Mary Beatty, presi- dentz Sharon Thompson, vice president: Darlene Nishwitz, secretary- treasurerg and Bob Hartley, historian and reporter. Meetings were planned to learn more about teaching and to help each of the students decide whether teaching would be a profession for them. Observations of the classes that they were interested in were necessary in noticing the procedures of the classrooms. By attending a Teaching Career Day at XVittenburg College in Springfield the future teachers learned more about what is expected from a school teacher. Since 1948. when lf.T.A. was organized. the club's advisor has been Mr, Apwisch.

Somebody shut that window! Gee, I hope we win our volleyball game. . . . Those were some of the many statements that echoed forth from the girls' dressing room every Wednesday night after school. The girls making those statements were members of Covington's Girls' Athletic Association, usually shortened to G.A.A. In all. there were 45 girls in the club, but the large number made for a better understanding among the girls. Good sportsmanship, sports know-how, and the ability to take part in sports were stressed by Miss Fern Frey, G.A.A. advisor. A total of 150 points for each girl entitled her to an award. First awards are numeralsg second, are emblemsg third, are letters, and fourth, are a choice between a pin or a letter. Points were acquired by the members in hiking, biking, horse- back riding, swimming, bowling, and attending 5X6 of the meetings. At Christmastime, G.A.A. gave a Christmas Basket full of food to a needy familyg and in the spring, it sponsored a Sadie Hawkins type dance. As a farewell tribute to the seniors leaving the club, a party was given for them by the rest of the girls. Officers elected were: president, Cecelia Alexander, vice president, Gladys Orndorff, secretary, Carol Thompson, and treasurer, Sue Ferguson. FIRST ROXXI, left to right: Keytha Carroll. Retta Powell.
