B UCCANEER 1963 Volume XVI Covington High School Covington, Ohio i Foreword Reflections of the past are constantly creeping into our minds. As years and experiences progress, these memo- ries become a living part of us. Looking back over this past year, we find many of the same happy memories. Be- cause our lives are not intended to be rosy paths, we also suffer hardships. As we grow older, we learn to live with our joys and sorrows. Memorable activities which will be remembered by all who are leaving Covington High School are many. The sorrows, we hope, are few. As you glance through this book and recognize close friends, also seek to find reflections of years gone by. Judy Whitacre Editor Dedication The Senior Class of 1963 proudly dedicates this, the 1963 Buc- caneer, to its former classmate, Cordelia Stephens, who departed on June 17, 1962. She is sadly missed by her fellow classmates and teachers. While in school, she participated in extracurricular activities serv- ing as editor-in-chief of the newspaper, member of the National Honor Society, chorus, scholarship team, science club, highlanders drill team, and the yearbook staff. She would have served as editor- in-chief of this year's Annual.

Even though a decade may have passed, we realize the value of this retrospective view. The Buccaneer over the years has revealed the ac- complishments, the associations, and fond memories of those high school days always to be cherished, whether young or old. It affords me great pleasure to extend congratulations to the staff and advisor of the 1963 Annual for their leader- ship and effort in presenting the activities of the school. It is a privilege to extend to all 1963 graduates, best wishes for success and happiness in the days ahead. L. A. Apwisch Principal Superintendent's Message The Seniors, who are responsible for the '63 Buccaneer, herein attempt to capture for posterity the things which, to them, make Covington High School memorable. The record springs from the attitudes and ambitions of people and the goals to which they aspire. If this publi- cation stirs within you a measure of pride, a spark of en- thusiasm, a desire to excel or to continue your education, then it is indeed worthy of the many hours of hard work devoted to the creation of this book. This image of the 1962-63 school year provides much that we can regard with pride and pleasure and we con- gratulate the Class of 1963 on the production of this re- view in retrospect. C. S.

Future Farmers of America Covington Future Farmers have expanded from three acres of corn in the past year to a partner- ship in the farm of Mr. Johnson, as well as addi- tional farm land. The reason for this expansion was to provide opportunities for more boys to participate in the program. This expansion was financed by grass mowing, garden plowing, etc. Their farm program grossed $1,200, which was used to pay expenses and buy new equipment. These boys do not spend all their time farming. On the social side, they play basketball and base- ball. The big event of the year is their parents' banquet. This meeting was opened with parli- mentary proceedings. Mr. Runyan then presented the awards that were earned. Talks on their trips to Kansas City and Michigan, taken during the summer, were given by members of the club. The meeting and banquet was brought to an end with a speech given by an officer of the State Chapter about his farming program.

A Time of Fun, Happily reigning over the Homecoming Dance is Queen Lolita Huffman (center). Her attendants are, left to right: Sandy Hayes, Janie Rudy, Janet Brumbaugh, and Connie Peters. Escorts, left to right: Jerry Miller, John Galley, Carl Angle, Tom Eshleman, and John Lyle. Homecoming Homecoming day of 1962 was one of ex- citement. Some students turned teachers, and everyone dressed in his Sunday best. These events provided a pleasant change to the everyday school life. A procession preceded the Covington- Wayne football game. It consisted of the band followed by the five queen candidates and their escorts riding in shiny new convertibles. At half-time, the band, performing under the direction of David Finkham, formed a floating diamond through which the queen candidates were escorted to the front of the home bleachers. Here an anxious crowd awaited the announcement by Bob Nishwitz, master of ceremonies. Lolita Huffman was chosen 1962 Home- coming Queen by popular vote of the student body. She was crowned by her escort, Carl Angle. After the game, a dance was held in the queen's honor in the high school gym. Dec- orations were of lavender and white, the senior class colors. Music was provided by Bob Wertz combo. Johnny and Jody Montgomery, twin children of Mr. and Mrs. James Motngomery, walked through the floating diamond formation preceding the announcement of Homecoming Queen. 37 Festivity and Excitement Accompanied by crown bearer, Johnny Montgomery, Sandy Hayes, candidate of Key Club, proudly rides by. Janet Brumbaugh, candidate of the Hi-Y, calmly expresses her excitement. She is accompanied by Jody Montgomery, bearer of roses. Janie Rudy, sponsored by the F.F.A., possesses a smile dis- tinctly hers. 38 Senior Class Play Members of the Senior class presented a three-act comedy, Time out for Ginger, on the night of Novem- ber 9, 1962. Time out for Ginger, was written by Ronald Alexan- der and directed by Miss Barbara Jane Peyster with the assistance of Cheryl McMaken and Lolita Huffman, student directors, and Carl Angle and Bob Nishwitz, stage mana- gers. The setting was in the home of the Carol family. The confusion started when Ginger's father, Howard Carol, made a speech about etiquette to the high school student body. This prompted Ginger to review basic individual rights. She insisted that girls and boys were equals, and girls should be allowed to play football and other boys' sports. Ginger's boyfriend. Tommy Green, wanted her to be a cheerleader. But no, Ginger wanted a position that de- manded more fighting for personal privileges, such as a football player. Since there were no grounds to declare her ineligible, Ginger made the scrub team. Ginger was allowed to play in the last two seconds of a football game.

Then, two hours before the wedding, the movers are still clearing the house of furniture for the reception. At the last minute Kay's younger brother, Tom- my, can't find a shirt or his cuff-links, and Kay is not sure she wants to get married. “Father of Members of the Junior Class review lines and make last minute adjustments in make-up.

Gallantly attempting to defend their Little Buckeye League Crown, the Buccs placed third with a record of five wins, and two losses in the league. Coach Howard Allman in his second year as head coach was ably assisted by Tom Steele and Don Garman. The Buccaneers compiled an overall record of seven wins and two losses. The offensive and defensive teams performed a commendable job by scoring 249 points against the opposition's 151. Dave Wimmer led the Buccs' scoring with 78 points. Tim Martin followed with 54 points; John Laughman with 50, and Larry Wise with 40. Missing from next year's team will be backfield men Larry Wise, Dave Wimmer, Tim Martin, Rog- er Batson; ends, John Laughman, Denny Rhoades, and Tom Carroll; linemen, Rich Etter, Mike Hud- son, Jim Ruhl, and John Thompson.

The Buccs were guided this year by Don Garman in his first year as head coach at Coving- ton. Covington was also able to win second place in the Non-County Tournament in March, and therefore qualified for the District Tournament at Springfield. However, the Buccs were defeated in their first game by Riverside 69-66, after a long hard test of basketball. Covington finished the season with an excellent 1 3-4 record. Gene Laughman had the highest scoring mark for one game with 26 points against Riverside. The Buccs averaged 58.4 points per game while holding their opposition to only 52.1 points per game. Three of their five starters were on the SVL's All-League Team, Gene Laughman, Tom Kimmel, and John Lyle, plus John Laughman who was named honorable mention.

High scorers of the team were Dale Kenworthy, sopho- more forward, and Kent Thompson, freshman guard. Other members of the first string were Allen Chaney, forward; Walter Knapp, center; and Earl Biederman, guard. A score of substitutes were called on for needed help in many games. Coach Thomas Steel provided these reserve players the experience needed for use on the varsity teams of the future.

The members of the team worked extremely hard in mastering fundamentals and gaining experience. First-string members were Tom Deeter, John Flory, forwards; Jim Buchanan, center; Ted Hart- ley, Mike Beireis, and Jim Montgomery, guards.

Baseball Team Hoping to improve upon last year's record, the new Covington baseball coach, Thomas Steele, led the Buccs into the 1963 season. The Buccs improved greatly over last year's mark, and almost won the Stillwater Valley League Crown. The Buccs compiled an overall record of eight wins and four losses with an excellent record of eight wins and two losses in the SVL. Although even with this fine record in the SVL, the Buccs finished second behind Miami East. The pitchers Terry Byers, Jim Ruhl, and Dennis Edwards, combined to establish this fine record. Terry Byers, in fact, had a total of seven wins and four losses. The graduating seniors. Bob Byers, Jerry Taylor, Bob Nishwitz, Mike Hudson, Rich Etter, and John Galley, will truly be missed at the start of next year's season.
