The annual staff and their advisor are to be commended for a fine publication that has required much time and effort. A graphic presentation of the school year does much to interpret our school program to the community and records for us, in a mnemonic sense, the great heritage of a public school education which is the birthright of every American boy and girl. Our congratulations and best wishes go with the members of the graduating class. We sincerely hope their success and well-being will exceed their fondest hopes and ambitions. 4 C. S. PHILLIPS, Superintendent 'ance Administration Left to right: Robert Carder, Frank Miller, Jr., Paul Finfrock, Howard Buch- anan, Raymond Carst. HOWARD BUCHANAN, President of the Board of Education Our Board of Education, which is elected by the citizens of the school district, has direct control over our school district. They elect teachers and other officers, and adopt policies or programs for the school. The superintendent is given extensive authority in the matters related to school management. Regular meetings of the board are held the second Mon- day of each calendar month. These meetings are opened to the public. If a special meeting is needd, the president, clerk, or any two members, can call a meeting by serving a written notice of the time and place of the meeting upon each member at least two days prior to the date of such meeting. The notice must be signed by the official or mem- bers calling the special meeting. Mr. Phillips, new to the Covington school system this year, has had to spend most of his time learning to know the faculty, students, and familiarizing himself with pre- vious policies and the formulating of new ones for the present school year. Mrs. Hayes, very ably per- forms her duties as clerk of the Board of Education and as secretary to the superin- tendent. SUPERINTENDENT Administration Mrs. Sweigart, compet- ently performs her duties as secretary to Mr. Apwisch. Mr. Apwisch—always students in choosing vocations. MR.

Mr. Kenneth Murphy, a very capable teacher, instructs shop; while Mrs. Donna Kay Dewey teaches girls’ Physical Education. Science and biology is taught by Mr. Richard Lyons; while his wife, Mrs. Norma Lyons, teaches vocal music in both the high school and elementary school. We have two new elective subjects added to our curriculum. A course in Advanced Science has been added to the Science Department. Its dura- tion is one semester, with Mr. James Beisner as the instructor. Drama Class, a new subject in our English Department, is skillfully taught by Mr. Harry Howarth. We also have some new equipment around our school. Through the activity Fund, we have been supplied with the following: a long-carriaged type- writer for cutting stencils, two 750-watt opaque projectors, two speakers, and two crystal micro- phones to be used in the gym for better acous- tics. The Board of Education purchased a port- able demonstration table for the commercial de- partment. The Board has also purchased testing materials—the California Mental Maturity test, for Sophomores. All in all we have had a very prosperous and profitable school year. Stanley Strait and John Mutzner doing research work in the school library. Plane geometry students work in- tently on a problem.

TRI-HI-Y Tri-Hi-Y under the leadership of its officers: Linn Purdy, president; Linda Bitner, vice president; Sandra Van Hise, secretary; Jeannie Rudy, treasurer; Edna Beatty, chaplain, had a very busy year. Several projects undertaken by the club this year were: a mothers’ tea, parents’ banquet, a Christmas basket for a needy family, visiting a Greek Orthodox Church, selling adult memberships, and giving morning devotions for the student body. Many of the projects were carried jointly by Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y club. 16 c5peni in J£ese C'fufxs HI-Y When the members of Hi-Y heard their president, Mike Vogt, give four raps on the gavel, they knew it was time for the meeting to start.

FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA “Teenagers today—Homemakers tomorrow” was the theme chosen by the F.H.A. chapter as a goal, towards which they would strive through their work and activities of the current year. Pizza par- ties, wiener roasts, hayrides, and Christmas caroling made the meetings, held the second Monday of each month, more interesting and fun. Members have taken many parts in state and county F.H.A. meet- ings during the year. Money was raised to apply on the state project, “Helping friends of Lebanon,” by selling candy and cake to the student body prior to five holidays. These activities were made possible by the club’s advisor, Miss Margaret Rothermel, and its officers: Sharon Sink, president; Bonnie Wise, vice presi- dent; Esther Chappie, secretary; Marilyn Smith, treasurer.

Meetings, held at presi- dent Doug Murray’s home, consisted of short business meet- ings followed by discussions of current sports events and sports figures. Varsity “C” grew by nine boys this year. Eligibility to be- come a member of this club is gained by earning a letter in a high school sport and by pledging for six weeks. The pledges are initiated into the club. Pledges were: John Holsinger, Jerry Fessler, Larry McKenzie, John Galley, Dennis McMaken, Kenny Enz, Mike Hudson, Warren Smith, and Larry Warner. Ten dollars was contributed toward a new trophy case.

FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA Learning about the opportunities in teaching, to culti- vate the qualities essential to a good teacher, to help each member decide whether he or she should become a teacher, and to work with children, are some of the purposes of the Future Teachers of America Club. To obtain these goals, Future Teacher members substituted for teachers and attended teachers’ conferences at Wittenburg College. Members serving as officers were: Virginia Apple, presi- dent; Pat Rudy, vice president; Bonnie Wise, secretary; Roger Knutsen, treasurer. The club’s advisor is Mr. Louis Apwisch.

SCIENCE CLUB Don’t get too alarmed if you get a whiff of some strange smell coming out of the chemistry room. It’s probably one of the members of Science Club working on his project for the science fair held each spring. If you were to attend one of their meetings, you might find them listening to a lecturer or view- ing a movie on the various fields of science. On all possible occasions, they attend science exhibits at nearby schools and colleges.

Jay Wackier; head majorette, Karen Ingle; major- ettes, Jane Ann Hartly, and Sandy Hayes. Two outstand- ing half-time shows by the band were presented at the Homecoming Game, and the Senior Farewell.

I Ttoyaf O ccasion . “Here are the girls we all adore, Come on, folks: let’s give a roar.” This is the cheer that was heard at the pep rally for the five candidates for Homecoming Queen, on October 14. These girls were nominated by various clubs of Covington High School; and all the students voted, on the day of the game, for the girl they wanted to be queen. That night, at the half-time of the football game, these girls were presented to the audience at Smith Field. They were: Roberta Deeter, nominated by Key Club, escorted by Steve Niblick; Sandra Van A kiss for the Queen from escort Steve Niblick. Prospective candidates and escorts: Denny Pennington, Carol Thompson, Dave Nishwitz, Virginia Apple, Ronnie Yount, Marilyn Wackier, Mike Williams, Sandra Van Hise, Steve Niblick, and Roberta Deeter.

This is what many juniors and seniors did on the evening of the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. At six-thirty they entered this make-believe land, “PARADISE OF THE DEEP,” by attending the banquet. Here the tables were decorated with fish nets, and lanterns, and other items which lent to the nautical air. The seniors were entertained by a skit and several other performances presented by various members of the junior class. Following this was the dance in the high school gym, the entrance of which was decorated in the form of a wharf, a step above a make-believe ocean. The theme was carried out with crepe paper of royal blue and white, the senior class colors, and a huge clam lay in the middle of the ocean. The dancers floated around the floor to the music of Donn Smith and his orchestra. At twelve o’clock, when most Cinderellas turn again into lowly peasants, the Cinderellas of the Covington junior and senior classes attended a movie at the Shines Theater in Piqua where they saw one of the latest hit films, “All Hands on Deck,” star- ring Pat Boone and Buddy Hacket. At three-thirty all journeyed back to Covington where they ate a wholesome breakfast furnished by the junior mothers.

Members of the junior class dance with their guests around the centerpiece. the banquet. Upperclassmen with their dates gather around the fare- well scene which the juniors created for the seniors. Looking back on the most happy years of their lives and marching forward into the future, the sen- iors of ’61 proceeded through the candle-light arch formed by the juniors. This began the commence- ment exercises on May 25. Invocation was given by Reverend William Gray. Mr. C. S. Phillips, superintendent, introduced the program which was then presented by the graduating class. Janice Gaver played an organ solo entitled “The Lord’s Prayer.” The salutatorian address, “Youth Answers the Challenge,” was given by Barbara Powell. Four senior boys, John Mutzner, Michael Vogt, Dennis Lavy, and Jay Wackier, played a number called “The Rushin’ Trumpeters.” Denny Meyer then gave his valedictorian address entitled “What School Means to Me.” Barbara Powell played an accordion solo “Lady of Spain.” “Down Thro’ the Years” was sung by Jean Rudy, Linn Purdy, Marilyn Wackier, Carol Thompson, Sandra Van Hise, Roberta Deeter, Terry Peacock, Monica Moreland, and Phyllis Miller. “Ret- rospections” was the title of the class history pre- sented by Marilyn Wackier. A trio, Janice Gaver, Ann Sink, and Virginia Apple, sang “Your Graduation Means Good-Bye.” A reading of Robert Frost’s poem, “Choose Some- thing Like a Star,” was given by Linn Purdy. “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” was sung by the entire class. After this Mr. L. A. Apwisch, principal, presented the class; and issued awards to many out- standing members of the class. Then came the long awaited moment—the presen- tation of the diplomas. After the class sang the “Alma Mater,” Reverend William Gray gave benediction. White rosebuds, the class flower, were then pre- sented to each member of the class as they marched from the stage. JfigA Sc Aoo These nine girls captivate the attention of the class as they sing “Down Thro’ the Years.” Dobie finds himself the center of at- traction after he receives a telegram from Limbo Lamb. ,Juniors “U£e Tlfany Tug of war proved successful in getting Helen out of the ventilator. Stella Kowalski tries to get an interview for her five man band with the famous Jimmy Wingate. A work of art “off Broadway” was seen by the people who attended the junior class production of “The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis.” This play was directed by Mr. Harry Howarth and consisted of the following charac- ters: Dobie Gillis Bonnie Willet Petey Bellows Helen Dixon Mrs. Dixon Mr. Dixon Imogene Klugenfelter Mr. Pipgrass Miss Forepaugh Mr. Harrington Limbo Lamb Stella Kowalski Ma jeska Rutka, Sally Dombra, Betty Simpka, Lola Miss Newman Adele Polly Bill Fred Fanning Charlotte Orndorff Jerry Fessler Peggy Laughman Sally Drees Raymond Sholley Retta Powell Ralph Jennings Kay Hart Roger Knutsen Pat Rudy Jolene Byers Mary Ann Thompson Beverly Laughman Edna Beatty Kathy Root Alice Meyers Linda Bitner Jerri Montgomery Doug Harnish The author of the play, Max Shulman, depicted Dobie as an average lad of average intelligence with an enor- mous knack for attracting trouble. His antics in trying to win the love of a fellow classmate, and also in trying to save the school newspaper from desolation, made a very enjoyable evening. 44 I 7i me for 7lclion 45 PAT RUDY U eserue LINDA SHIELDS G£eer JANIE RUDY Jres unen gayle McKenzie, nancy REAVER, DONNA BITNER Seaders Captain ROBERTA DEETER CHARLOTTE ORNDORFF JANET BRUMBAUGH LINN PURDY Head Coach Mr. Irvin GoacJi Grum ’s u Jj)£ite Gicfe” Fight—Team—Fight! This they did. Right through a season undefeated. The 1960 Football squad carried a victory banner in every game of their schedule. The Buc- caneers were voted Class A state champions by the U. P. and the A.P. press polls. What’s behind a championship team? Covington had the perfect ingredients—teamwork and coaching. Coupled with unusual ability and a desire to win, the team per- formed plays with a magic touch that couldn’t be stopped. In addition to this magic teamwork, the constant encourage- ment and inspired coaching of Mr. Irvin seemed to raise the players above the ordinary. Defensively and offensively, varsity and reserve, the team acted as a single unit with one objective—to win the game. This spirit allowed the Buccs to score 564 points against their opponents’ 27.

FRESHMAN BASKETBALL TEAM This year’s Freshman Basketball team was truly one that Covington can be proud of. Although it was not a winning season for the Freshman Buccs, it held many valuable lessons in sportsmanship and team work.

BASEBALL TEAM “Play Ball,” is the familiar call of the umpire which rings in our ears. On the mound, the pitcher receives his signal from the catcher. There’s the wind-up, the pitch, a called strike, and the 1960-61 baseball season was underway for the Covington Buccaneer Baseball Team. A record of six wins and six losses was attained by the Buccs. Eleven of the forty runs, which were made in twelve games, were made by Roger Stump while Denny Meyer made an average of one run per game. Five seniors, two juniors, seven sophomores, and five freshmen composed the 1960-61 squad.
