Covington High School - Buccaneers Yearbook (Covington, OH)

Text from Pages 1 - 122 of the 1960 volume:

MANY DIFFERENT WORLDS THE BUCCANEER Foreword Through long hours and hard work, we are at last able to present to you the BUCCANEER for 1960 — a new and different yearbook. In using the theme Many Different Worlds we have tried to give you, the students and friends of Covington High School, an idea of the studies and happenings as they are performed and lived day by day. All are included in this one institution, Our School. This year we are attempting something that has never been done in our school before, a fall delivery plan. By this method, you did not receive your year- book until August, 1960. In this way, we have been able to include the entire school year in the book. Because of this new delivery, some of the events from last year are excluded. We have, however, distributed some of the 1959 track pic- tures throughout the advertisement section. We hope that you will enjoy the new and bet- ter coverage represented by the fall delivery.

After surveying the work of this year's annual staff, it appears to me that a great effort is being put forth toward producing even a better annual. I definitely feel the 1960 Yearbook is a great help toward the con- tinuance of good student Character, Health, Scholarship, and Sportsman- ship. It indeed reflects a general improvement of the school system. The staff and advisor are to be congratulated for their leadership and efforts in behalf of better public relations in regard to all activities of the school. It is a privilege to wish to all 1960 graduates the best of success and happiness in the days ahead. May each of you enjoy long lives of useful- ness and continue to Live Most and Serve Best. A. O.

BOARD OF EDUCATION In order to maintain the high standards of education which the schools of Covington have enjoyed in the past, the Board of Education and the Administration is faced with the problems of immediate need as well as those, of longer range. The Board of Education realizes that more classroom and laboratory space is essential to high standards of education in the very near future. The science, industrial arts, home econom- ics, business and language areas need to be ex- panded now. Heating equipment and plastering must be replaced soon. Perhaps art experience should be enlarged in the elementary school and expanded into the high school. More adequate transportation must be provided before next year, and room for additional classes on the elementary level cannot long be delayed, or young people will suffer educationally. The young people of our community are its future, and we cannot plan well for the future unless we plan to give them the best education possible. It will cost more money to educate ade- quately for the Space Age than it did for the Horse and Buggy Age. It is the sincere wish of the Board of Education that sound educational practices may continue to be the desire of the Board and the community as they work together for continuing high standards of education for our youth, both today and tomorrow. HOWARD BUCHANAN, President MRS. MARY HAYES As secretary to the Board of Education, Mrs. Hayes competently serves the com- munity and school. MR. ALBERT O. GROSS Superintendent New to Covington this year, Mr. Gross has spent a great deal of time getting acquainted with the members of the community, becoming familiar with their problems, and enlisting help in solving them. High School Principal . . . always ready to offer high school students help and advice in choosing their courses and planning their careers. MISS FERN FREY Manchester College, B.S.

New teachers and many new pieces of equipment have been added to the different departments, making for better education and more enjoyable learning. Possibly the biggest change has been made in the English department. The English staff now includes four teachers as compared to the two teachers of previous years. Seniors who plan to attend college have been put into a special class to give them a better chance to learn the basic English require- ments needed for college. This also gives the other senior English students a better chance to grasp the English they will need for their future lives. Approximately $2,000 has been spent for new pieces of equipment and a general redecoration of the science department. This money was spent in the laboratory, where they have added various items for experiments in radio electronics. In addition, new sink drains were purchased. Resource materials, properly displayed, command interest. Agriculture students intently studying project books. New Teachers, Books, and Equipment Stunt formation symbolic of the many activities carried on in girls' physical education. Future homemakers learn to perform the activities necessary in managing a home. Big changes have also taken place in the vocational departments. The most noticeable improvements have been made in the industrial arts or shop courses. Seniors this year, for the first time, were offered a nine week's course of instruction in electricity. Textbooks on machine metal and woodworking were also put into use for the first time. Some of the new equipment that has been purchased includes a new metal former, bench shears for trimming metal, and numerous new hand tools. A station wagon was purchased by the school board and then turned over to the farm shop classes, where a few minor repairs were under- taken. This station wagon is available for all high school activities. Shop classes designed to teach the boys the basic procedures of woodworking.

These boys worked together as a service organization through the Y.AA.C.A. As members of Hi-Y, the boys learned to become better citizens both in the spiritual and material realms. Officers of Hi-Y were: Charles Nickel, president; Mike Vogt, vice-president; Bruce Beener, secretary; Paul Althoff, treasurer; Randy Higgins, chaplain; and Mr. Ralph Banes, advisor. Four projects were undertaken by the boys this year. They were in charge of the Christmas Chapel, which is an annual affair at Covington High School. A Christmas basket was prepared and presented to a needy family in this community. As a service to students and parents, the boys sold programs at the basketball games. The big project of the year was their Bundle Day Clothing Drive. Hi-Y boys also competed with the F.F.A. boys in their annual basketball game. For the first time since they have started these games, Hi-Y lost to F.F.A. Aside from this defeat, the Hi-Y members had a very successful year.

It has gained its influence under the capable leadership of the officers: president, Fred Davis; vice-president, Phil Iddings; secretary. Jack Manning; treasurer, Doug McRoy; chaplain, Bob Hartley; and advisor, Mr. Blair Irvin. Two projects were handled by the boys this year. They had a hayride, a picnic, and several pizza parties.

These girls worked and played together under the able leadership of their officers: Gladys Orndorff, president; Jo Anne Moreland, vice- president; Charlotte Orndorff, secretary; and Keytha Carroll, treasurer. G.A.A. had two special projects this year. It prepared a Christ- mas basket for a needy family in the community and had a fall cook-out.

OFFICERS Jay Wackier _____________________________ Treasurer Jim Cassel------------------------------ President John Mutzner______________________________Secretary Ronnie Ruhl ________________________ Vice-President KEY CLUB As a service organization, the Key Club has carried out its purpose very well in its many and varied projects. Several of their community proj- ects included helping the Kiwanis Club paint the local park wading pool and cooperating in the Bread Drive for polio. The boys also helped a neighboring community, Arcanum, by collecting books for that library which was destroyed by fire. To get the money to help in these projects, the club sold ballpoint pens and foam-rubber cushions. They also sponsored a Snowball Dance on February 12, 1960, at which Sue Shipley was chosen Snowball Queen. All of this could only have been accomplished by willing followers and these able leaders: Jim Cassel, president; Ronnie Ruhl, vice-president; John Mutzner, secretary,- Jay D.

Positions in concert band were awarded to mem- bers according to how well they performed in their try-outs. The band had the honor of having Vic Hyde as their guest at the Spring Concert. Superior honors were won at the District Contest, which enabled the participants to take part in the State Band Contest at Springfield. A number of groups also participated in the State Solo and Ensemble Contest, where many high ratings were received.

Led by their captain, Sandra Leeper, and co-captains, Keytha Carroll and Lavona Cissner, twenty-three girls spent hours practicing routines and drilling for those Friday night football games. Band camp was also attended this year. Working right along with the band, the Highlanders gave us some very enjoyable entertainment during half-time activities of all Covington football games, at Miami Uni- versity on Band Day, at the Bradford Pumpkin Show, and in the Annual Variety Show. Mrs. Virginia Miller is to be credited for working out the routines and helping the girls get organized.

Yearbook Staff Works Vigorously Having started busily working at the opening of the school year, the 1960 Buccaneer Staff faced many problems. Soon class pictures, alphabetizing, and checking names consumed their time, their thoughts, and their energy. Copy writers searched for material. Editors reread copy, rewrote it, stretched it, proofread it, and finally printed it. Plenty of paper work was waiting for the business staff. Num- bers were juggled about and finally balanced so that transactions could be settled. Members of the senior class filled the treasury by their efforts. They pounded the pavement and smiled as merchants agreed to be their advertisers once again. After the completion of months of struggling, the entire staff felt relieved. They smiled as they recalled the pleasant memories of good times enjoyed as they prepared the 1960 Buccaneer for all Covingtonians. Joyce Bailey, curriculum reporter; Janet Barga, copy editor; and Carolyn Peters, organizations reporter; discuss the various problems of their individual reports. Bonnie Catterlin, subscriptions; Bill Wirrig, ad- vertisements; and Loretta Warner, treasurer; were in charge of all the business transactions.

Jerry Shields, Varsity C member, presents roses to Home- coming Queen, Linda Feeser. Several hundred football fans turned out to see Miss Linda Feeser, Varsity C candidate, crowned as Covington High School's Homecom- ing Queen for 1959-60. Queen's court consisted of Gladys Orndorff, nominated by F.F.A., escorted by Roger Clark; Jeannie Eichelberger, nominated by F.H.A., es- corted by Jim Rike; Darlene Nishwitz, nominated by F.T.A., escorted by Jack Manning; Keytha Car- roll, nominated by G.A.A., escorted by Bill Wir- rig; Sandra Leeper, nominated by Hi-Y, escorted by Don Creager; Linda Yeamans, nominated by Tri-Hi-Y, escorted by Doug McRoy; and Sue Ship- ley, nominated by Key Club, escorted by Hershel Hunt. Election, conducted by the Student Council, was held on the morning of October 23, 1959. The queen was elected by the upper four grades in the high school building. Later in the evening, during halftime activities, the Band and Highlanders presented their version of the 1959 Homecoming. They then formed a crown, which the attendants and their escorts walked through, while the band played Tammy. After the last girl and her escort came through the crown, a representative of the Student Coun- cil announced the name of the Homecoming Queen. The football team then presented the queen with a dozen red roses. Following the game, a dance in honor of the queen was held in the high school gymnasium. Music was furnished by Newton High School's Rhythm Teens. 35 The queen and her court dance gayly with their escorts to music furnished by Newton High School's Rhythm Teens.

Laura, the mother, was deliriously happy because she had engineered a match between her daughter, Marcia, and wealthy Sherwin Park- er. The youngest Reardon, Penelope, was a demon with a slingshot and the piano. Warry, the only son, was positive he was the coming Eugene O'Neill. Reginald, the father, would rather tinker with the automobile than ticker tape; and Nana, the wise-cracking grandmother, was only concerned with Elvis Presley records and getting rid of the Parkers. Nana succeeded in doing this with the help of Cousin Lily, an Madalin Weikert makes up Jim Cassel as Ronnie Ruhl and Roger Clark look on. adorable liar from down home with stage aspira- tions. Lily, arriving unexpectedly, agreed to im- personate another Cousin Lily if Nana would help her get an acting job. Her performance as the skeleton in the Reardon closet was so convincing, and the lurid facts she revealed so hilariously shocking, that the mighty Parkers took to their heels in a hurry; and Marcia was reunited with the boy she really loved. Nana returned to her Elvis Presley records with the satisfaction of a job well done; and Warry decided that even though his distant relative was a bit on the daft side, she was the only girl for him. With Comedy, “Every Family Has One” All-Night Prom Great Success Dreamy music, that one and only date, and a beautiful setting, all add up to a wonderful evening which is exactly the description of the 1960 Junior-Senior Prom. To start the evening, a dinner, prepared by the mothers of the Juniors, was served cafeteria style in the elementary building multi-purpose room. At 9 p.m. all adjourned to the gym of the high school where we entered a wonderful land of enchantment. Using a theme of Carrousel, the Juniors had turned the gym into a magic land of blue and silver, class colors of 1960. As we chose our partners for the first dance to the music of Vert Agenbroad's orchestra, we, the sen- iors, came to realize that this was our reward for twelve long years of hard work and study. This year, after the last dance had been danced, we were to do something different. It had been arranged for us to attend the movies at Schine's Theater in Piqua, where we saw one of the newest hit shows of the year, Who Was That Lady? starring Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh. However, the end was not yet in sight. At 3:30 a.m. we returned to the elementary build- ing where we were served a delicious breakfast of eggs and sausage. After breakfast, a drawing was held and thirty door prizes were awarded to persons bearing the lucky numbers. Thus ended our all-night prom — the first such experience for Covington High School. Let it go down in school history as a night enjoyed and remembered by all. 38 Juniors, Seniors, and their dates dance in the gaily decorated gym to the music of Vert Agenbroad's orchestra.

The 1960 Graduating Class presented their own Commencement Program on May 24, 1960. The seventy-seven members of the graduating class were led into the high school gymnasium by the juniors, who formed a candlelight arch- way. The seniors entered the gym to the tune of Pomp and Circumstance. The program consisted of speeches by the valedictorian, Loretta Warner, Life's Dividends ; and the salutatorian, Janet Barga, The Sky is the Limit. Ronnie Ruhl gave the poem, If, by Rudyard Kipling. Robert Buchanan gave the Progress of the Class of 1960. Sandra Emery played an organ solo entitled Traumerei and Romanzi, and Linda Stocker played an oboe solo entitled Sonatines. A senior sextet consisting of Loretta Warner, Janet Stickelman, Gladys Orndorff, Judy Brum- baugh, Sandra Leeper, and Carolyn Peters sang May You Always. Pam Shields, Sue Shipley, Kathy Zimmerman, Linda Yeamans, Linda Feeser, Kathy Kimmel, Bon- nie Catterlin, Lavona Cissner, and Janet Forsythe sang Graduation Day. Mr. A. O. Gross, Superintendent of Schools, gave the program introduction and'Mr. Louis Apwisch, High School Principal, presented the awards. The entire class sang the Alma Mater and No Man Is an Island. Miss Helen Holfinger was the organist. Invocation was given by Reverend Donald R. Morgan, while Benediction was given by Rever- end George M. Stadler. Concluding the evening was the presentation of the diplomas to the seniors by the Board of Education President, Mr. Howard Buchanan. Thus ended the commencement of the largest class ever to graduate from Covington High School. 40 The Senior Class of 1960 looks into the future on the night of their graduation. May 24, 1960. Seniors enter the gymnasium through the candlelight archway made by the juniors. Juniors look on as the last members of the senior class step onto the stage. The senior sextet consisting of Judy Brumbaugh, Carolyn Peters, Loretta Warner, Janet Stickelman, Gladys Orndorff, and Sandra Leeper sings May You Always. 41 Mr. Maxwell drops everything upon hearing the contents of the ransom note. Bernadine and Betty Lou head for the window fearful that they are about to be discovered. First-Time Actors .. . Real Success Happy Daze, a three-act comedy, was presented by the Junior Class on March 18, 1960. The play was under the direction of Mr. Harry Howarth and Mrs. Connie Ecklar, co-director. The cast consisted of the following people: Mr. Maxwell, Jay D. Wackier; Mrs. Maxwell, Sandra Van Hise; Wilbur Maxwell, Denny Lavy; Connie Maxwell, Mona Rank; Betty Lou Maxwell, Janice Gaver; Bernadine Smith, Linn Purdy; Hercules Nelson, John Mutzner; Mrs. Brown, Nancy Stump; Aunt Mary, Barbara Powell; Mr. Mallory, Mike Vogt; Elmur and Muggsy, Tom Fenner and Bruce Yarian. One of the most hectic stages in a girl's life is that heart-rending time when she finds herself too old to do what she used to do, but too young to do what she wants to do. That was exactly what was staring Betty Lou Maxwell square in the face. In order to get some attention drawn to herself, Betty Lou and Bernadine planned a kidnapping. All ended in confusion and excitement when real kidnappers took Wilbur. The tables were turned on Betty Lou, and Wilbur received all the attention. Betty Lou is really kid- napped by those two fero- cious characters, Elmur and Muggsy. Backstage, before curtain time, Linn Purdy is made up by Sharon Sink. The whole family rejoices over the return of Wilbur. 43 SPOR TS Fight, Fight9 Fight... for Covington High LINDA BITNER W Freshman Cheerleaders, top to bottom: Linda Shields, Jane Rudy, Janet Brumbaugh.

Brisk breezes are blowing and the stands are crowded with excited fans, ready to cheer the Buccs on to victory. As the Buccs come onto the field, the air is filled with excitement, and the confidence of the team is evident as they prepare to meet their opponents. The team warms up and gets ready for action, then everyone stands at attention for the National Anthem. The Buccs form a huddle and have a moment of silence be- fore they are ready to play. Twenty-six players began the season with the Buccs but, because of injuries, they had only 20 to 22 eligible. They didn't let that stop them! They practiced every evening after school until 5:15. Who said, Practice makes perfect ? Well, he certainly was right, because we had the next best thing to a perfect team. The Buccs were de- feated once, and they set a new offensive record of 386 points. They also broke their defensive record with only 42 points scored against them. Some of the games that caused the Buccs the most worry were: Versailles, Dayton Kaiser, and West Milton. Covington met Versailles on their field and won 40 to 14. It was the first time in five years the Buccs had beaten Versailles. Later, Covington met Dayton Kaiser at Smith Field and shut them out 32 to 0. When it came to West Milton, though, the Buccs had their work cut out for them. Covington met West Milton at Memo- rial Stadium and lost 6 to 14. This was the last game of the season for the Buccs, and the only one they lost. Seniors on the starting line-up were: Jim Sampson, Captain, left tackle; Mike Cotrell, right guard; Bob Livingston, right tackle; Fred Davis, quarterback; Phil Iddings, left halfback; Tom Carder, right halfback. Reserve seniors were: Jim Cassel, center; Paul Althoff, guard; and Ronnie Ruhl, end. Community members have good reason to be proud of their Covington Buccaneers as this was an exceptionally good year for them. The co- operation of the boys and the capable coaching of Mr. Irvin, head coach, and his assistants Mr. Dunn and Mr. Banes can be credited for the success of the team. 46 Schedule We They Sept. 18 Tipp City— H________________________28 8 Sept. 25 Tecumseh—T__________________________34 0 Oct. 3 Xenia Woodrow Wilson—T______________44 0 Oct. 9 Germantown—H________________________50 0 Oct. 16 Versailles—T _______________________40 14 Oct. 23 Miami East—H________________________74 0 Oct. 29 Bradford—H__________________________78 6 Nov. 6 Dayton Kiser—H______________________32 0 Nov. 13 West Milton—T______________________ 6 14 for the Black and the White . ..

Even though they were small in num- ber, they did not let anything stop them in the Non-County Tournament held at Bradford. They won over Sidney Holy Angels and then went on to beat Bradford, bringing home the Non-County Tournament Trophy. Only two senior boys were lost this year, Fred Davis and Tom Carder. The starting line-up usual- ly consisted of Fred Davis, Captain, forward; Steve Wells, forward; Bob Hartley, center; Jerry Fessler, guard; John Holsinger, guard. The boys had the backing of their fine coaching staff: Mr. Frank Dunn, assisted by Mr. Blair Irvin. The players admitted that basketball was a lot of fun and there was great satisfaction in it. But, along with the fun and the excitement of the games, there was a great deal of hard work and a training schedule to keep. The Buccs deserved a great deal of credit in keeping up their morale, increasing their skill both defensively and offen- sively by each games experience until they hit their peak by winning the Non-County Tourna- ment. Fight to the End . . . Shortly before the game, the boys gather round Coach Dunn for last-minute instructions. Sam Bashore tries for basket as a Bethel player blocks His shot.

They were able to win half of their games, and a few of the others were very close. There were a couple of games that were lost by a very few points, which can be heart-breaking for a squad with the drive that ours had. Composed mostly of sophomores, the reserve team possessed plenty of drive and determina- tion. They had both height and weight. Each boy on the team was playing for the others and the school, not for himself. If this persists thrSugh the next two years, basketball should be on the upswing at Covington High School. Being a member of the basketball team didn't mean just playing on Friday and sometimes Satur- day night. It meant being at practice every eve- ning after school and getting a hard workout. Each boy is already looking forward to next year's season, and hoping to do better than this year. It doesn't have to be mentioned either, that each boy is trying and hoping for that one chance to be a member of the Varsity Team. So Fight, Fight, Fight, for Covington High 52 FIRST ROW: Larry McKenzie, Tom Iddings, Wayne Ingle, Kay Hunt.

Coach Irvin has had good reason to be proud of his team. One of the high- lights of the season was the winning of the District Track Meet; it was the first year Covington ever placed first in the district. The Buccs also placed third in the Little Buckeye League, second in the Covington Invitational Meet, first in the Stillwater Valley League, and second in the Miami Uni- versity Meet. Three records were broken this season. Bob Hartley set a new shot-put record with a distance of 53 feet, 7Vi inches. He also broke the discus record with a heave of 149 feet, 4 inches. Jack Manning broke the record of the 880 yard run, setting a new record to the time of 2 minutes, 8.6 seconds. Larry McKenzie pole vaulted to a height of 10 feet, 7% inches, breaking the old record of 10 feet, 6% inches. Covington High School will certainly cheer the team on to victory in the State Track Meet at Columbus. Bob Hartley demonstrates the form he used to throw a record-breaking 149' 4 with the discus.

Baseball Team Has Incentive to Win Given the incentive to win, which may have been due to the new baseball diamond, the’base- ball team tromped six out of eight of their oppo- nents. Three games caused quite a bit of excite- ment. Winning by a margin of only one point, the Buccs came out on top. Six seniors leave the team this year: Bob Liv- ingston, left field; Don Creager, catcher; Bob Buchanan, second base; Fred Davis, center field; Paul Althoff, left field; and Ronnie Ruhl, right field. Coached by Frank Dunn, who for the first time tried his hand at coaching baseball at Cov- ington, proved the season to be a successful and rewarding one.

Alma Mater, Alma Mater Deep graven on each heart Shall be found unwavering true Till we from life shall part. As we Seniors go out from Covington High School, we take with us some very dear and precious memories — some of them good, some bad. We will always remember how wonderful and new everything seemed when we became freshmen. It was hard work at first, but the four short years went by in a hurry and here we are — Seniors. Some of us are going to look back with regret and wish we had tried a little harder and made better grades. All that is past now, so we must be content with what we have accomplished thus far. But no matter where we go or what we do, we will always remember our dear old Alma Mater. —Editor TAYLOR PUBLISHING COMPANY The World � Be� t Ve� rbooks Are T«ylor m� d«
