Superintendent s Message Even though I have only been associated with the Covington Exempted Village School System for a few months, it has come to my attention that some fine work has been done by those who were responsible for the annuals which have been produced for at least a quarter of a century in this school system. 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. GROSS, Superintendent

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.
