Circle of Memories 1962 buccaneer Covington Migh School COVINGTON, OHIO Volume XV I foreword In our school, as in most other schools, the same things happen year after year—the same subjects are taught, the same clubs are organized, the same activities are performed, and the same sports are played. Each of these, in its own way, forms a circle. Each year the clubs complete another circle. They become organized, plan and carry out projects, induct new members, take in money and formulate ways to spend it, etc., until the circle is complete. Similarly, the circle of sports revolves each year. First, football, then basketball . . . track . . . baseball . . . Each year the circle goes round another time. As you turn the pages of this yearbook, you will see how each of these circles has completed another turn in the life of our school.

It is gratifying to review the 1961-62 school year and recall the accomplishments, the associations, and the progress toward our ultimate goals. As Covington High School's historian, The Buccaneer salutes the mem- ories that are cherished, those that mark the highlights of the year. The graduating class is to be congratulated on the production of this annual. 4 C. S. PHILLIPS, Superintendent Administration. .. Circle of Protectiveness and Quidance Seated around the table are Mrs. Ralph Hayes, secretary; Mr. Phillips, Robert Carder, Paul Finfrock, Frank Miller, Jr., Bill Zimmerlin, and Raymond Garst. Board of Education Newly elected to serve on the Board this year was Bill Zimmerlin. He and other board members are striving to fulfill the educational needs as well as other essentials necessary in the smooth running of a school system. The board did a fine job in redoing our building. The rooms, painted in various colors, added a touch of brightness to the rooms. The library was expanded and more study area was made available. Inadequate heating during the winter months prompted a bond issue for a better heating system. Because of the increase in enrollment in the high school, it will be necessary for two sections of the eighth grade to be moved to the elementary build- ing, one remaining in the high school building. The rooms made vacant by this change will be used by high school students. 6 Administratum MR. RALPH ALLMANN MISS HOLFINGER MRS. GOATER Manchester College, B.S. Miami University, B.S.

Circle of Ceaming With Keys to Wisdom Changes Were Made Zhroughout the Mr. Lyons focuses the television which was a recent addition to the science department. This past summer much remodeling was done in our school. Rooms were painted, and the study hall was made into a combination study hall- library. Throughout this school year many students have learned to use the library facilities to their advantage. The home economics department perhaps un- derwent the greatest change of any department. Along with being repainted, new chairs and ta- bles were added. This department now has com- plete use of two rooms—one room is for sew- ing and the other is the kitchen itself. Science students were able to view both chem- istry and biology television programs this year, enabling them to gain extra knowledge in these fields. Business law and consumer economics have been added to our business education curricu- lum, making it now possible to receive 6 Vi cred- its; whereas in past years, it was only possible to receive 5Va credits. The changing of second year typing to office practice now gives students morf experience in office work. English literature, due to the fact that more students are enrolled in English classes, has been combined with English IV. Mary Jo Barga and Rita Hittle practice on the chinning bar, which was first intro- duced into phys. ed. classes this year. Sam Bashore and Randy Higgins work with the copper enameling kiln that was purchased for industrial arts department. School Members of the physics class look at Larry McKenzie's partially completed project. English teachers are now seeing greater re- sults in the placing of students into the type of English class that will benefit them most in their future. Students enrolled in the college prepar- atory course receive more drill on the prerequi- sites for college English, and emphasis is also be- ing put on the English needs of vocational stu- dents. The vocational agriculture department increased its training in farm shop—stressing more metal and a few more finished furniture projects for the non-farm boys. Training for the related fields in agriculture is also being stressed in both the classroom as well as the shop. A physical fitness program has been taken over not only in our girls' and boys' physical educa- tion classes, but also in our extracurricular ac- tivities. Kathy Yoder and Mary Jo Barga use one of the new tables in the home economics department. Students make use of the new library facilities during their study halls.

Top honors were gained for the club by the Parliamentary Procedure team, which placed first in the district, and Bill Schultz, who placed second in public speaking. In November, 1961, the club enjoyed a trip to Chicago, where they visited the International Livestock Show. This gave them an opportunity to see some of the best animals in the world. The Parent and .Son Banquet in February, 1962, enabled their parents to observe the chapter's accomplishments for the year.

Twelve students of Covington High School's Future Teachers of America were always ready to step in and take over a class or study hall, when needed, because of the absence of a teach- er. Learning about the opportunities in teaching, cultivating the qualities essential to a good teach- er, deciding if he or she should become a teacher, and serving the school and community is the purpose of the organization. 24 Sally Drees, secretary of F.T.A., takes over a class during the absence of a teacher. And Developing Creative Ceadership. .. KEY CLUB Key Club, primarily a service club for boys, is spon- sored by their parent club, the Kiwanis. Throughout the year, the club was busy with projects such as helping the Kiwanis with their annual Easter egg hunt and setting aside an area in the library to be known as College Cor- ner. Catalogues and other informative material concern- ing colleges and universities is to be placed in this area, so that those wishing to continue their education be- yond high school may have quick and easy access to the material. Another most worthy project of the club was collecting old license plates for the Kennedy School for the Oral Deaf in Dayton. Larry Henry, Raymond Sholley, Larry Warner, Bill Schultz, and Ted Powell represented their club at the state convention in Cleveland on April 13 and 14.

Members of the Buccanews were kept on their toes this year. Directed by Cordelia Ste- phens, Editor-in-chief, the busy reporters cov- ered all events of the school year. This news was arranged by Vivian Hollopeter, Layout editor, and ornamented by the drawings of Karen Ingle, Art editor. The staff members rushed to meet dead- lines, but discovered that a hurriedly written report is not always printed. Without the help of the second year typing class, this year's success of the paper would not have been on time. Students in the sixth period typing class type the copy of the news- paper. 26 And Scientific 'Developments.. . SCIENCE CLUB Sweatshirts, Sweatshirts, anybody? Science Club members of C.H.S. will well remember these words. This was only one of the many projects sponsored by the science club this year under the leadership of their president, Fred Fanning. During regular meetings, the members enjoyed movies or lectures, covering some phase of sci- ence. One of the outstanding speakers was Lt. Brosch, a narcotics expert of the Tipp City Police force. The highlight of the year was the annual sci- ence fair. Realizing the importance of science in the future, many Covington students, as well as students of other schools, entered exhibits which were judged and rated on knowledge achieved, use of scientific method, clarity of expression, originality, and creativity. Karen Ingle displays Her project at the science fair. She received a superior rating for this project.

With Problems of Student government. STUDENT COUNCIL The school's governing body, commonly known as the Student Council, consists of representatives from each class. Homecoming, both the dance and crowning ceremonies, is a project of the council. Movies and devotions were the main features of the Christmas and Easter assemblies planned by the council. New projects undertaken by the council this year were a suggestion box, a bulletin board for the school, and Christmas baskets for needy families. Officers of this year's council were Pat Rudy, president; Charlotte Orndorff, vice president; Judy Whitacre, secretary; and Vivian Hollopeter, treas- urer. 29 A look of astonishment crosses Mr. Apwisch's face as he and president Pat Rudy go over the week's suggestions. PEP CLUB Pep, Pep, and more Pep! That is what this club has. As a means of promoting school spirit, the girls in the newly-formed club this year sold booster badges to all the loyal fans. They also sponsored a sock hop in Jan- uary. For their outfit, the girls chose black skirts, white blouses, and black vests, bearing the club emblem, a megaphone. Sore throats was the trademark of this highly-spirited club. It was worth it though, because these girls were behind the Buccs all the way. Sue Shefbuch and Marilyn Pearson are drawing the posters seen around the school before each basketball game. Zkrougk Zkese Clubs...

HIGHLANDERS Covington's Highlanders, a colorful group composed of eighteen girls, per- formed snappy dance and drill routines at football games. Taking part in a week of concentrated marching, and drilling at Sabina Band Camp prepared the girls for the per- formances at the games. Other appear- ances made by the group included the Pumpkin Show, Capital Band Day, Fire- man's Convention, and both the Miami and Darke County Fairs. Student leaders were Sally Drees and Beverly Laughman. The routines were made up and directed by Mrs. Virginia Miller. Leading the group in their routines were captpin, Sally Dress and co- captain, Beverly Laughman. 31 During the summer of '61, three performances were given under the direction of Mr. Larry Hillman—the Firemen's Conven- tion, the Fourth of July concert, and an ice cream social concert, at which time Mr. David Finkam was introduced as Mr. Hill- man's successor. With Mr. Finkam as director, the band received second places at both the Darke County Fair and at the Bradford Pumpkin Show. During the last week of August, emphasis was placed on march- ing and drill formations at a camp near Sabina, Ohio, at which time the formations were worked out for the fine shows present- ed at the football games. In February the concert band participated in the District 10 Band Contest where it received a superior rating, entitling it to enter the state competition. To end a full and successful year, the band had a parents' banquet on May 19 where the awards were presented to the bandsmen.

SCHOLARSHIP, CHARACTER, LEADERSHIP, AND SERVICE ARE THE PREREQUISITES FOR MEMBERSHIP IN THIS CLUB The proud people pictured on this page are all members of the National Honor Society. Requirements are stiff, and all the members greatly value their Society cards and pins. To become a member, it is necessary for a can- didate to excel in four phases of school life. They are as follows: Scholarship, at least a 3.0 average; Leadership; Character; and Serv- ice. They must then be elected by the pres- ent members of the Society and a board of four faculty members: Miss Holfinger, Miss Frey, Mr. Lyons, and Mr. Beisner. Two inductions were held this year—one in the fall and one in the spring. In the fall. Vivian Hollopeter, Jane Rudy, Janet Brum- baugh, Marjorie Finfrock, Juniors; and Fred Fanning, Senior, were inducted. The spring induction brought Cordelia Stephens and Lolita Huffman, Juniors; Ralph Jennings, Charlotte Orndorff, and Edna Beatty, Seniors, into the Society. For the first time, sophomores having a 3.5 average, were inducted in the spring services as probationary members. They were Rebecca Ruhl, Helen Beatty, and Carol Schultz. These students received cards but not pins. This is the second year for the Covington chapter. 34 Activities . . . Zkc Social Circle 35 beatnik Side of Cife The Senior Class of Covington High School, under the direction of Mr. John Carley, presented All Shook Up —a comedy farce about Anastasia Schultz, fresh from a turkey farm, attending college. Anastasia is caught up in a dizzy whirl of poetry readings, work on the college newspaper and the lead in a dramatic so- ciety play by the campus's leading beatnik. Her adventures with the unbelievable facul- ty members—Dean Worthy, Professor Grudge, and Miss Strongarm—and her ro- mances with the lady-killer newspaper edi- tor, the handsome French exchange stu- dent, and the beatnik poet and playwright provided a delightful evening of enter- tainment. Although Peggy and Anastasia's pad was scarce on furnishings, it was considered the utmost by the student body of Bull U.

Dress-up and turnabout day was observed, with the students wearing their finest clothes and selected students taking the place of the teachers for the day. Not only was there a turnabout in the classroom, but also at the pep rally where the cheerleaders were substituted with five male members of the faculty. At half time of the Homecoming football game be- tween the Buccaneers and West Alexandria, Pat Rudy was crowned Homecoming Queen. Pat was chosen by the student body from the five finalists. Pat reigned over the dance given in her honor in the high school gym. Music for the dance was furnished by the Louis DeLong Combo. Five fun-loving teachers show the students they can cheer, too: Mr. Runyan, Mr. Lyons, Mr. Carley, Mr. Dewey, and Mr. Finkam. Pat Rudy and her court reigned over the homecoming dance given in their honor following the football game. The court and their escorts from left to right are: Bonnie Wise, escort Ted Powell; Kay Hart, escort Joe Fessler; Queen Pat Rudy, escort Tom Robinson; Linda Bitner, escort Randy Higgins; and Jerri Montgomery, escort Fred Fanning. to Homecoming Charming as ever, Bonnie Wise, riding on a white convertible, was sponsored by F.H.A. Kay Hart and Linda Bitner, candidates of the Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y respectively, are an attractive beginning to the parade of candidates. Sponsored by Varsity C , Jerri Montgomery wears a warm smile though the weather is cold. Looking bright-eyed and happy, Pat Rudy, the Key Club and F.F.A. candidate, is unaware that she will soon be crowned Homecoming Queen. 39 The juniors carried out their theme by decorating the gym as a colonial ballroom with a crystal chandelier hanging from the center of the room. “Crystal Kail Zheme for.. . Crystal Ball was the theme chosen by the juniors for the Jr. Sr. Prom. The banquet, which began at 6:00, was held in the multi-purpose room. Tables were decorated with white roses, the seniors' flower, and crystal balls. A skit, re- living the seniors' days in school, was presented by va- rious members of the junior class. Closing the program, the juniors sang a farewell song to the seniors, Thanks for the Memories. The high school gym was decorated as a colonial ball- room in the seniors' colors, green and white. Music for dancing was provided by Den Smith and his orchestra. After the dance, which ended at 1 1:00, cars assembled at the high school prior to the ride to Troy. The movie, Hell is for Heroes, was shown at the Mayflower Theater. Breakfast was served by parents of the juniors at 3:00 a.m. in the multi-purpose room. Juniors, Seniors, and their dates retired early Saturday morning. Sleepy-eyed band members were up at 9:00 enroute to Mansfield, Ohio, for the State Band Contest. Just arriving at the dance, two seniors stop to gaze at the decorations. 40 junior-Senior Prom... 41 Graduation Jerry Fessler gave an address, “Steps Beyond High School ' in which he named all students planning to go to college in the fall and the schools they were entering.

The junior class of Covington High School pre- sented A Girl in the Rain on March 9, 1962. The play was under the direction of Mr. John Carley. The girl came, one stormy, summer night, to the suburban home of wealthy Alicia Underhill and her young bachelor son, David. She was lying uncon- scious on the road outside, and David almost ran her over with his car. He stopped in time, however; carried her inside and, when she revived, she was unable to tell them who she was, her name or any- thing about herself—she seemed to be suffering from amnesia. They permitted her to stay in the house; and, after a while, it gradually dawned on some of them that she was faking, that her amnesia was only a sham. David refused to believe it; he was falling in love with this strange, nameless girl and it troubled him; he didn't want to fall in love, for the excellent reason that he had recently be- come engaged to the lovely Natalie Price. The oth- ers, however, wondered: who was the girl, what did she really want there? Could she be the noto- rious Hall murderess sought by the police for the brutal poisoning of several wealthy husbands? All the evidence, slowly accumulated, seemed to pornt unmistakably in that direction until—the brooding, tense atmosphere in the Underhill house exploded in a sudden and violent climax.

Of Coaches and . .. Emerging victorious from their final game of the season, the Covington Buccaneer football team clinched the championship of the Little Buckeye League after a three year absence from the league. Our fine coaching staff was headed by Howard Allman, making his initial appearance as head coach of the team. Coach Allman was capably assisted by Frank Dunn and James Beisner. The Buccaneers had an excellent record of seven wins and two losses. The offensive and defensive units rolled into high gear, scoring 216 points against their opponents' 56. Although graduation is taking its toll of the back- field and interior line, the reserves of this year's team will be ready to fill the vacancies. Covington's football team placed five men on the 1961 all league team. They were Dave Wimmer, Jerry Fessler, Larry Warner, Tom Iddings, and Kay Hunt. Dave, Kay, and Larry made the offensive team; while Tom and Jerry made the defensive team. Wayne Ingle and Larry Wise gained hon- orable mention. Tim Martin tries to outrun this Bradford player.

The Buccs, by winning the league, were presented the Piqua Daily Call's S.V.L. traveling trophy. Covington will retain per- manent possession of this trophy if they win next year's title. Three senior members of the team, Larry Warner, Jerry Fessler, and Tom Iddings, were honored by being placed on the all-league team. Although the team loses six seniors through grad- uation, the reserves of this year hope to take the places of these fine athletes. The Buccs, led by their captains Larry Warner and Jerry Fessler, wer$ able to attain a season mark of ten wins and seven losses.

The first team varied due to injuries and late comers. The reserves won all five of their Stillwater Val- ley league games under the fine leadership of Coach Lewis Dewey. These boys who made up the reserve team hope to form a successful varsity team for next year.

Qain Knowledge and Experience FRESHMAN BASKETBALL Under the leadership of their new coach, Howard Allman, the freshman team participated in the Still- water Valley League. Although they finished fourth in the league, many of the games were close. The boys worked hard throughout the year and showed drive and deter- mination in their games. The members of the first string were Dale Ken- worthy, Gary Beaver, Gene Brumbaugh, Rick Lavy, and either Dave Gallagher or Roger Puterbaugh.

Zrack BUCCS QUALIFY SIX FOR STATE MEET Covington Hugh's track team had a very success- ful season under the leadership of coach Howard Allman. The squad won the Stillwater Valley League Meet at Troy and placed second at Dayton in the Little Buckeye League Meet. However, the Buccs were unsuccessful in defending their own Coving- ton Invitational Track Meet championship of last year. They finished in fourth place this season. The Buccs placed fourth in the Class A Springfield Dis- trict Track Meet. Two new school track records were set this year. Larry McKenzie pole vaulted to a height of 11 feet 10 inches bettering his own record of 11 feet. Tim Martin set a new high jump record by jumping 5 feet 1 1 3A inches. The boys, who qualified for the State Meet at Columbus are as follows: Tim Martin, high jump, 220 yard dash, 400 yard dash; Larry McKenzie, pole vault; 880 yard relay team, Larry Warner, Roger Looker, Tom Iddings, and Larry McKenzie. 56 Cross Country Tom Kimmel broke the school record for the high jump, jumping 5 feet 10 7 8 inches. Covington's City Park was established as a new home course for the Cross Country team where the Buccs held all their home meets. Two new records in this two-mile event were set by Jim Manning—one at the new park course with a time of 1 1 minutes 26 seconds, another at Greenville with a time of 10 minutes 56 seconds. Others who were outstanding were Bill Leeper and Roger Knut- sen. Members of this year's cross country team were Joe Rank, Roger Knutsen, Bill Leeper, Ted Powell, Fred Fanning, and Jim Manning. The Buccs Cross Country Team placed third in the Lowell Thomas meet. 57 FIRST ROW: Bob Byers, Rich Etter, Jerry Taylor, Jim Ruhl, Jerry Robinette, Bud Weer, Coach Dewey. SECOND ROW: Terry Byers, Larry Wise, John Galley, Mike Miller, Mike Hudson, Tim Hudson. Coach Lewis Dewey had only four let- termen returning from last year's squad. This year the Buccs participated in two leagues, the Stillwater Valley League, and the Little Buckeye League. The Buccs com- piled a total record of 5 wins and six losses. The baseball team placed third in the Stillwater Valley League behind Ver- sailles and Miami East. As there were no seniors on this year's baseball team, next year's Varsity Baseball Team should be successful.
