Shouldering these responsibilities and many more, the Student Council made its presence known at Covington High. Four seniors, three juniors, two sophomores, and two freshmen were elected to this organiza- tion to direct the activities of the students and clubs. Student Council affairs were carefully carried out under the able supervision of their two advisors. Miss Fern Frey and Mr. Ralph Allmann. Officers of the Student Council were Tom Carder, president; Carolyn Peters, vice-president; Roberta Deeter, secre- tary; and Ronnie Ruhl, treasurer. These students met every Wednesday with their two advisors to discuss and iron out some of the problems of the school. Two movies were shown to the student body as a money- making project in order to make an annual payment on the school's intercom system. 24

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. Wackier, treas- urer; Mr. Larry Hillman, advisor. . . . Who Led Us to Success 23 FIRST ROW: Larry Henry, Jerry Fessler, Raymond Sholley, Ronnie Ruhl, Paul Althoff, Denny Lavy, Jim Cassel.
