May it set forth in a definite form the stand¬ ards of honor and learning instilled in our hearts dur¬ ing the past four years.

Hurrah We’re proud of it you see. Mix it up with ginger, and a bit of Senior pep. Oh my, we’re glad we are Seniors! Tune—“It ' s a Long Way to Tipperary” It’s a good thing to be a Senior. It’s the best thing I know. It’s a good thing to show the others, Just how that they should go. We’ll prove our own position, Leaders of C. H. S. It’s a grand good thing to be a Senior, And cheer for C. H. S. MARY CHARLOTTE BRIDGETT “shot” Girls’ Athletic Association ’22-’23-’24-’25, Sidney Lanier ’23-’24. “This nymph to the destruction of mankind Nourished two locks, which graceful hung behind.” Mary is one of the exceptional members of the Senior Class, in that she still has long hair. Many are the valiant males that have fallen ’neath her hand because she has to fight all of the time to prevent a Rape of the Lock. ELLEN VIRGINIA CARTER “tella” Basketball ’22-’24, ’24-’25; Booster Club ’24, Sidney Lanier ’24-’25, Commercial Course ’24-’25. “II ' ere her life a book, her deeds would be r ,written there.” “Tella” is still Ellen, although she had her pretty curls “bobbed.” Ellen is very peppy, which was proved by her work on the basketball team. She is quiet, but the Seniors wouldn’t have her otherwise, be¬ cause she wouldn’t seem natural. PHILIP BURKES “phil” Sidney Lanier ’24-’25, Athletic Association ’2-1—’25. - “And friends received with thumps upon the back.” “Phil” is a quiet but active member of our class. He came from Low Moor, and joined the class of ’25 because he realized that merely belonging to such an organization would make him famous. If we may believe the old saying, “Practice makes perfect,” he and Moore Butler will both be pugilists. MARGARET ELLEN CARTER “fatty” Wilsonian Literary Society ’24-’25, Girls’ Athletic Association ’25, Boosters ’25. “We arc as like as two eggs.” One hardly knows Margaret is around until there is something to be done, then with a sweet smile she says, “I’ll try.” Her patient and gentle disposition serves her well in trying moments, especially when she must tell Mr. Firebaugh every morning that she is Margaret and not Marjorie. MARJORIE HELEN CARTER “weenie” Wilsonian Literary Society ’24-’25, Girls’ Athletic Association ’25, Boosters ’25. “By happy chance, zee saw a twofold image.” Marjorie is a conscientious worker and a sweet, sincere friend. Underneath a calm reserve there is an engaging personality that wins football heroes. We predict for her a life of happy domesticity. THOMAS MOORE BUTLER “mooney” Debating Team ’24-’25, Football ’23-’24, Basketball ’23-’24-’25, Assistant Business Man¬ ager of Annual ’25, Wilsonian Literary Society ’24-’25, Cohisco Staff ’25, Baseball ’24-’25. “My only books were woman’s looks And folly is all she taught me.” “Mooney” generally manages to keep the class amused with his ready wit and contagious laugh. After he has gotten one of the rest of us in trouble he assumes an angelic expression and gets by with it. Ask him to let you see the collection of ladies’ pictures he carries in his pocketbook. ELIZABETH MICKLEY COVER “mutt” Girls’ Athletic Association, Captain Girls’ Basketball Team, Class Secretary ’24-’25, President of Sidney Lanier Literary Soci¬ ety, President of Girls’ Athletic Association, Asst. Manager of Annual ’24, Art Editor of Annual ’25, Business Manager of Cohisco Outburst ’25, Booster Club. “She touched every phase of school activity and touched nothing she did not adorn.” “Mutt” has a sort of masculine ability for leadership and has always used this talent to the advantage of C. H. S. EDITH PAULINE CROWDER “edie” Athletic Association ’22-’23-’24-’25, Sidney Lanier ’24-’25. “Nature made her true, loving, and just.” “Edie” is the Senior baby. She always has something nice to say of every one. Does that account for her popularity? She is very fond of French and such phrases as “je vous ainie” and “La Rue” seem to come very naturally to her lips. AUBREY ALFRED CARPENTER “cause” Athletic Association ’24-’25, Secretary Freshman Class ’22, Treasurer Sophomore Class ' 23. “Chewing gum’s good, a smoke is good. And zee’re all good fellows together.” If you are looking for a good joke or a stick of chewing gum just call on Aubrey. He ' s a good-natured sort of fellow, and works some, besides. In spite of the efforts of the fair sex to get a ride in his car, he still tries to make us believe that a girl is the least of his worries, but we have our doubts. W ILMA LOOSE HUNTLEY “tootsie” Sidney Lanier Literary Society ’24-’25, Booster’s Club, Girls’ Athletic Association ’24-’25. “Laugh and be fat.” If giggling is laughing, it is no wonder that Wilma is the fattest member of our class. There is no fatty substance in her brain, however, for she always manages to get good grades as well as to get into all of the mischief afoot. Her only failing is hic¬ cups, and the sight of Air. Firebaugh is sure to produce an attack. KATHERINE ANDERSON IRVINE “kitten” Sidnej ' Lanier ’24-’25. ‘ ' Eternal smiles, dimpling all the way.” Although “Kitten” has not been with us many t ears, we have discovered that she is one of the few who have “winning, win¬ some ways.” She does not belong to ant- debating team, but ant- Senior will vouch for her ability along this line. DELMAR CRAFT “craft” Vice-President Sidney Lanier Literary Society ’24, Football Team ’24, Basketball Team ’24, Captain Basketball Team ’25, Captain Football ’25, Vice-President Class ’24, Editor-in- Chief Cohisco Outburst ’25, Program Committee Sidney Lanier ’25, Class President ’25. ‘‘The light that lies in woman’s eyes Has been my chief undoing.” Delmar has been very popular all through school, especially with the fair sex, and has taken a prominent part in school activities. Much could be said for him, but to be brief we’ll just say he’s an all-round man. NORA MYRTLE KLINE “mutt” Sidney Lanier Literary Society ’24, ’25. I shall ne’er be zoare of mine ozeu zoit till I break my shins against it.” We wonder how Myrtle, quiet and stu¬ dious as she is, has made her presence so felt by all. Truly she belongs to the class of those who go to school for an education. In some way she has managed to become a friend to each of us and we have learned to appreciate her rare and unaffected wit. BETTIE JANE LEITCH “betsy” Sidney Lanier Literary Society ’24-’25, Girls’ Athletic Association ’23-’24-’25, Com¬ mercial Department ’24-’25, Booster Club ’24-’25. “Very szeect and kind and true A friend to me—a friend to you.” Lucky is that one who is honored with Bettie’s love and friendship, for it is always sincere and true. She doesn ' t like to be teased, especially when she comes to school late with rows of perfect curls showing many minutes of painstaking labor. How¬ ever, due to the fact that she is a Senior or to some good influence in the Sophomore room, she is seldom late now. We hope the world will be as kind to her as she has been to others. HENRY CALEB CUSHING “kay” Commercial Department ’24, Orchestra ’24-’25, Tennis Team ’24, Athletic Association 22- 23- 24- 25, Annual Staff ’24- 25, Cohisco Staff ’2a. President W ilsonian Literary Society ’25, Wilsonian Literary Society ’24, Class Secretary ’24, Wilsonian Literary Society ’24. Presi¬ dent W ilsonian Literary 7 Society 7 ’25. “Never over serious, not too frivolous but a rare good fclloze Kay r s brilliance and witty remarks won for him that endearing epithet, Our Class Philosopher,” in the Freshman Year, and he is still deserving of that title. He has a mint of phrases in his brain, and his obvious ability 7 to make speeches will win a worldly success for him and break many a fair lady’s heart. MARY KATHERINE LOBE AN “kat” Sidney Lanier Literary Society ’24-’25, Booster’s Club ’23-’24-’25, Secretary of Girls’ Athletic Association ’24-’25. “She laughs azoay the sorrow And she laughs away the gloom.” The idea of doing without “Kat” in our class is inconceivable. With a toss of her head and in a most emphatic manner she gives us her opinion of everything. She never studies very much, but always man¬ ages to get by. Always fun-loving and mis¬ chievous, “Kat” is never lacking for con¬ versation, especially during Miss Talley’s French Period. MARY ELIZABETH LYONS “bessie” Sidney Lanier Literary ’24-’25, Commer¬ cial Class, Stenographer to Principal. “She never has much to say, Her words have been deeds from day to day.” Elizabeth came all the way from Mary¬ land just to join our famous class, and we are all glad she showed such excellent judgment. She treats us rather shabbily because, she spends most of her time in the Business room. She is quiet in school, but outside, “well—that’s different.” EARL GORMAN EGGLESTON “egg” Commercial Department ’24-’25, Athletic Association ’24-’25. “Long and lank as is the ribbed sea band.” We adopted “Egg” in our Sophomore year and we think that we have been mutually pleased with each other ever since. Think of the pencils which would have remained point¬ less if Earl had forgotten his knife a single day. He claims that he is a woman-hater, but don’t you believe it! NELLIE WANDA MARSHALL “nell” Sidney Lanier Literary Society, Girls’ Athletic Club. “A heart resolved on victory or death.” No one will ever be able to down Nellie. She beats the girls in all domestic tasks and she can surpass the boys when it comes to looking after a “tin lizzie.” We know she loves old C. H. S., for she has been known to walk six miles rather than miss a day from school. FLORENCE LIND MILLER “klunk” Vice-President Class ’ 21-22 , President ’23-’24, Secretary and Treasurer Sidney Lanier Literary Society ’24-’25, Varsity Basketball Team ’23-’24, Reviewing Editor Co his co Outburst ’23, Girls’ Athletic Asso¬ ciation ’23-’24-’25, Boosters’ Club ’24-’25. “She doeth little kindnesses, Which most leave undone, or despise; For naught that sets one heart at case. And giveth happiness or peace. Is low—esteemed in her eyes. — Tames Russell Lowei.l. JOHN HARRISON LEWIS FRIDLEY “dan” Wilsonian Literary Society ’24-’25. “A zooman is only a woman Btit a good cigar is a smoke. Harrison possesses a peculiar talent of producing “effect” in whatever he says or does. He doesn’t seem very active, but he’s always there with the goods at the showdown. Many a girl of C. H. S. has lost faith in her feminine charms because he has never fallen a victim, but probably there is a “girl back home” at Callaghan. MILDRED PAYNE PARKER “m il” Girls’ Athletic Association ’22-’23-’24-’25, Sidney Lanier Literary Society ’24-’25. “If to her share some female errors fall. Look on her faee, and you’ll forget them all.” “Mil” has impressed us all with her un¬ usually sweet disposition. She is rather quiet until she gets the “giggles.” hen the “spirit moves” her. she is one of our bright pupils, and at all times with her blue eyes and brown hair, she is an ornamental one. PHYLLIS PAYNE PEDIGO “pain” Class Secretary ’24, Cheer Leader ’24-’25, Basketball ’ 22-23-24 , Sergeant-at-Arms Wilsonian Literary Society ’24, Reporter ’25, Athletic Association ’23-’24-’25. Annual Staff ’24, Booster Club ’24-’25. “Hast so much zeit and mirth, There is no living with thee—nor without thee.” Energetic, jolly, and lively, but not hard¬ working, Phyllis is probably of Irish ex¬ traction. because she always has a store of excuses on hand for any ' emergency ' and plenty of blarney to keep us in good humor. ROBERT HUGH GLEASON “pickles” Baseball Team ’24-’25. “Genius is the abiilty to evade work.” When Hugh entered our class, his quiet, studious manner impressed us greatly ' , and as a result, he now carries the nickname “Pickles.” We have since learned that he was only ' bash¬ ful, and that he really ' doesn’t deserve such a name. CHARLEY MASON PERKINS “see-em” Wilsonian Literary Society, Girls’ Ath¬ letic Association ’25. Charley, My Girl.” Although she has a masculine name, she is very feminine in appearance. She en¬ tered our class only last fall, having come to us from Charlottesville, where she at¬ tended school with our English Professor. Enough said. FRANCES MARGARET PERSINGER “teaser” Girls’ Athletic Association ’24- ' 25, Boost¬ ers’ Club ’25, Wilsonian Literary Society ’24-’25. “A merry maiden of wit and wisdom.” “Teaser” has the reputation of being one of our best scholars, and we all admit her right to it, but she is not the least bit selfish with her goodly store of knowledge. She always has original ideas about everything in general and doesn’t mind expressing them in spite of the laughter they provoke. Surely she is worthy of the affection every Senior has for her. BLAKE KIDD “seeds” Baseball ’23-’24-’25, Football ’24, Sidney Lanier Literary Society ’24-’25, Sergeant-at- Arms, Sidney Lanier ’24, Athletic Association ’23-’24-’25, Class Usher ’25. “A noticeable man , ivitli large black eyes.” Blake is the pet of the Senior class. In spite of the fact that he has a genius for evading any hard work, he is universally popular—the girls forgive him because of his looks, and the boys because of his good nature. He has always been something of an entomologist—in¬ terested in Bugs. GLADYS CATHERINE ROSE “daddie” Sidney Lanier Literary Society ’24-’25. “Many a flower is born to blush, And win with fragrance its foes; But zee arc sure no flozeer could Be dearer to us than our Rose.” Gladys is a sweet, sincere girl who has helped us over knotty problems with her mathematical ability and made us feel her worth in her every deed. ELIZABETH BEAUFORT REVERCOMB “bugs” Girls’ Basketball ’22, Class Treasurer ’22, Class Vice-President ’24, Vice-President of Girls’ Athletic Association ’24, Vice-Presi¬ dent Wilsonian Literary Society ’24, Secre- tar 3 ? and Treasurer Wilsonian Literary So¬ ciety ’25, Wee-President of Girls’ Athletic Association ’25, Class Treasurer ’25. “Her charming looks a cottage might adorn Sweet as the primrose peeps beneath the thorn.” “Bugs” has a way about her that is en¬ tirely original in every detail, especially her way of expressing herself in English class. Those of us who believe in dreams predict for her a happy future in a rose-entwined cotatge, probably brick. LAWRENCE LLEWELLYN MCCARTHY “mac” Athletic Association ’23-’24-’25, Football Team ’24-’25, Basketball Team ’24-’25. “The man that blushes is not quite a brute.” Lawrence has been one of our most diligent workers and most willing friends all through the four years in C. H. S. He was our first hero on the football field in ’25 when a broken shoulder disabled him for the rest of the season. We have just discovered lately that he is a “lion among ladies,” for the most demure of our Senior girls is wearing his football letter. GLENNA FLORENCE SARTAIN “potch” Wilsonian Literary Society. “The wildest manners with the bravest mind.” Glenna always greets us with a cheerful smile. She has an unfailingly good disposi¬ tion, and her grades do much towards win¬ ning the Scholarship Shield for the Seniors. We wish her all success in the future. ALICE VIRGINIA SMITH “hank” Basketball ’23-’24, Boosters’ Club ’24-’25, Athletic Association ’23-’24-’25, Sidney La¬ nier Literary Society. “Who says in verse zvhat others say in prose.” We feel inclined to believe that Alice has a side to her nature that few of us have ever reached; but, judging from what we know of her, we feel that this side is sure to be worth while. She is our Class Poet, but unlike most poets, her source of inspira¬ tion is still a secret. FREDERICK MILLER “FREDDIE” Treasurer Wilsonian Literary Society ’24, Vice-President Wilsonian Literary Societv ' 25, Secretary Athletic Association ’25, Manager Football Team ’24, Manager Basketball Team ’24-’25, Cheer Leader ’24-’25, Athletic Association ’22-’23-’24-’25. “A man after his own heart.” bred has always been a loyal supporter of the school in every respect, and many of our activities are the results of his splendid leadership. He has some outstanding charac¬ teristics, among which are his ability to evade work and his apparent effort to avoid girls since, what he considers, “an unfortunate love affair.” WILLIAM HENRY PARKER “bill” ' Class President ’21, ’24; Vice-President ’23, Athletic Association ’21-22, ’24, Presi¬ dent Athletic Association ' 25, Sidney Lanier Literary Society ’24-’25, Assistant Business Manager Cohisco Outburst ’25, Circulation Manager Annual ’24. Business Manager Annual ’25, Baseball ’23-’24-’25, Football ’24-’25. “I could not love thee, dear, so much Loved I not honor more.” Behold, girls, a constant man !—and one of the best all round fellows in class. Wil¬ liam has time to do everything that he should and a few 1 things he shouldn’t. If red-haired girls inspire such records as Bill leaves behind him in all the activities of C. H. S.. we would advise all boys to worship at the shrine of some “strawberry blond.” GRACE AILEEN WOLFE “gracious” Sidney Lanier Literary? Society ’24-’25, Debating Team ’24- ' 25, Girls Athletic Asso¬ ciation ’22-’23-’24-’25, Boosters’ Club ’24-’25, Vice-President Class ’25, Editor-in-Chief of Annual ’25, Valedictorian ’25, Orchestra ’25. “Worth, courage, humor, and intellect. These, indeed, are her birthright.” Grace, the versatile! Grace, the popular. Grace, the beloved of all the school. She takes her sense into her fun and pep into her work—an excellent formula for success, as she has demonstrated. She is the pride of the Class of ’25. History best possible method of writing the series of events known as listory is to obtain a direct source of known value. Thus, m my diary are gleaned these excerpts from our life in ool, without special regard to date, unity, or coherence. So v, my readers, take this for its historical and not its literary rit, for of the latter there is none. September 15, 1921 : Fifty-six of us marched from the graded to the high school. Then given our room, such a time as we had, meeting the teachers, and the new subjects, Latin and Algebra. September 16, 1921 : Sophomores seem to think we’re made of rubber, they treat us like tennis balls. Girls got off easy, wasn’t even an ink well spilt on them. Looked in the Algebra book and said my prayers. Miss McCarthy says the thing isn’t so hard, so we hope for the best. September 29, 1921 : First lesson in Latin. No wonder they say the language is dead, think I’ll be also. January 27, 1922: Year half over, Miss Conner had to leave, bright pros¬ pects though. Red-headed lady came in to look us over, thought she would smother in the chalk dust. I’m afraid we’ll have to behave if she is going to teach us, but chalk and erasers certainly flew that day. January 29, 1922: First lesson under Miss Jones (the red-headed teacher) ; she’s not so bad. Think we’re going to like her. May 15, 1922: Final examinations next week. Hope I don ' t have to take any. We’ll soon be Sophomores. “Tempus fugit” (I think that’s right). We are going to take it out on next year ' s Freshmen. September 15, 1922: Only fifty of us back. School seems to be a quite necessary part of life’s work. Freshman class is some class, we’ll start on the boys tomorrow. Miss Jones is back again, she’s still our room teacher. Think 1 still like History. September 16, 1922: Finished with Freshman boys, mv arm aches, but 1 think they do too. Three thought they would get out of it, but we fooled them. Bet they wished they hadn ' t tried to get away. This Algebra is the limit, hope 1 don’t flunk. March 23, 1923 : Four boys thought they would like to see a teacher at , Mallow, and left at 12 :30 in a Ford. Some disappointment occurred and they got back at about 1 :30. Moore kept awful quiet for a while. We had one grand laugh. The play, “Green Stockings,” was a line success. I suppose because it had two of the sophomores in it. May 14, 1923: Examination time again. Juniors next year. We’ll have to become more dignified, I suppose. Worked harder than ever before. September 15, 1923. We’re Juniors. The class was divided into Junior A and Junior B. Miss Jones is still our room teacher, looks like she’s going to stick. September 16, 1923: New principal, rumor says he’s “six feet seven inches high and weighs two hundred and fifty-seven pounds.” I haven’t seen him yet, but hope he’s not quite that. September 18, 1923 : Saw the new principal, the height was exaggerated, even if the weight wasn’t. Wonder what he would look like without that mus¬ tache ? September 19, 1923: We have to take French this year too, hope’s it’s easier than Latin. If it’s like its teacher I ' m glad I’m taking it. Rumor says we’ll have an Annual this vear. March 20, 1924: We received our pins the other day. They are really pretty. Notice several people besides Juniors are wearing them. Asked Delmar how it happened, he didn’t say anything. Working hard for the Annual. We have an Orchestra this year from the school. Hope it improves. May 25, 1924: Started fixing for Commencement songs, decorations of the hall and the Strand. Think I won’t decorate any more for anything. Had a Carnival not long ago, big success, of course. Pretty near through examinations. We’ll soon be Seniors. Hope we don’t have to work very hard. September 15, 1924: We’re Seniors, what are the Freshmen? Sophomores are passable. Juniors are very nice. But we’re Seniors. Miss Jones is still our teacher. All’s well with the world. September 23, 1924: Air. Jeter talked to us about our diplomas and work necessary to get them. Mr. Costen didn’t talk himself out last year either, he’s still going strong. We are going to have shields for Scholarship, and so on, awarded to the classes. We Seniors expect to put out a paper this year too, along with the Annual, it will certainly mean work. This year is certainly going to be a big year, orchestra and so forth. December 20, 1924: Air. Firebaugh told us we all will have to write essays this year. Air. Costen says the same thing. We get out for Christmas day after tomorrow. Merry Christmas, everybody ! February 24, 1925 : Girls held a meeting to determine what kind of dresses they would wear for Commencement. Mr. Costen says they’ll wear what he says; girls all indignant; boys having a fine time over their discomfiture. William rang the bell twenty minutes ahead of time yesterday, and let the whole high school out ahead of time. I think he got smoke! Alarch 20, 192a : Aleeting about Caps and Gowns. Think we won’t wear them. Annual goes out tomorrow night. May 20, 1925 : Everything decided, essays learned, history, prophecy, etc., all written. Won’t we look fine on the stage. June 2, 1925: Go on stage tomorrow this time. My knees feel shaky; wonder why? This has certainly been some class. We were the only ones to have the same room together for four years. Not a study hall blank has been destroyed, there has been no intentional rudeness towards any teacher, and we are certainly proud of these facts. We’re certainly going to miss Miss Jones, she’s helped us through many a faculty meeting. Mr. Costen has been a very necessary unit in our instructions, while without Mr. Jeter we would have certainly flunked back in some of these past four years. I don’t know what we would do if we were to try this again, but we’ve done pretty well so far, and I hope we’ll remember the Class of ’25 in the year 1945. Well, good-bye—All’s well that ends well. —Caleb Cushing, Class Historian ' 25. School Sond s Cheer for old Covington, Covington must win. Fight to the finish, Never give in. You do your best, boys, Weil do the rest, boys, Covington must win today. You may search the whole world round, whole world round But then never could be found, could be found, A school just like our C. H. S. The one we ll always love the best, the best; We wear the colors gold and blue, gold and blue; And to them we ' ll e’er be true, be true; ■ Faithful, loyal, forever we will be to our dear Old C. H. to thee. The Meaning of C. H. S. ' What does it mean, that C. H. S.?” A small boy asked of me. ' Tis the name of the school where we learn,” said I But what do you learn?” asked he. I sighed, for it called for careful thought To give the answer that he sought. What we have learned, the years will show And only the future will prove Whether we ' ve learned the lessons we’ve heard And always honor the colors we love. If we always stand for the very best AAA have learned the meaning of C. H. S. If we have learned that C can stand For a courtesy that scorns deceit And a co-operation in work and play Or a courage that’s strong in defeat If we retain this courage in sadness and success We have learned the meaning of C. H. S.

Senior Prophecy N THE spring of 1935 I started, in my large dirigible, on a cruise around the world. After I had sailed for several days the gas tank suddenly exploded and the dirigible ' began to fall. My companions immediately climbed into the parachutes and drifted through the air. Where they landed I do not know, for I stayed on my old ship and the ground soon hurried up to meet me. Just as I was thinking how unprepared I was for sudden death I discovered that the force of gravity was rapidly pulling me down and down. Gee! It was a thrilling voyage. First I just missed jagged rocks and then I passed through smoke of such great density that it decreased the speed of falling. Before I realized what had happened I landed in the midst of a throng of noisy little red devils who were amusing themselves playing Mali Jongg! I then realized that I had reached Hades. Xo sooner had I landed than they abandoned their game and hustled me forward to the Palace of Satan. On our way to the Palace we passed many terrible places of torment. In a deep, rough voice, which seemed to shake the surroundings, Satan in¬ quired of me why I, a human being, should dare come into the realms of Hades without entering through the portals of Death. Accompanying his interrogations I felt the constant prickings of forks whenever I dared move the smallest fraction of an inch, and I began to think that it wouldn ' t be long until I would be the play¬ mate of some sinner in a pool of molten ore. Nevertheless I answered his question and after explaining the situation, I implored him to release me. Satan consented to free me on one condition, and this was that I would not shoot crap or play poker with any of the devils until they could rebuild my dirigible. This I readily consented to, and after learning that it would take several hours to complete the task, I immediately inquired as to how I might amuse myself during the reconstruction. Satan agreed to have one of his favorites “show me around” Hades. This sounded extremely thrilling, so I accepted his proposal, because I felt certain of having a “hot time.” Accordingly we set out to view the various places of torment. In some of these places I recognized old enemies of mine. I saw several of the men who had delayed the building of good roads in Alleghany County busy with more than good intentions pounding rock and paving Hell. I also saw my former school instructors who delighted in giving long assignments and hard quizzes. After a short period of rest, which was necessary for me to demand, we started out again. This time we visited the torturing places of ancient sinners. I enjoyed this very much, but the climax of my visit was reached when I came to the weird abode of Cassandra, the prophetess of old. She seemed to know every¬ thing, and when the devil pointed her out to me she immediately exclaimed: “Hi, there, Mooney!” “Great shades of Morpheus,” I exclaimed, “how do you know me?” In reply she told me that she knew me and everyone else on the earth; also all of the activities which were happening upon the universe. This, of course, aroused my curiosity and 1 at once began to ask her many questions, which she answered without the slightest difficulty. My love for my classmates of 1925 was still in my heart and I then began to ask her concerning them. “If you will be patient,” she said, “I will have them appear on yonder slate rock, and you shall see them as though it were all a moving picture.” I readily centered my attention on the huge, smooth, slate rock and im¬ mediately I began to see my former classmates and their places of abode. The first person I saw was Phil” Burks who it appeared had moved from Low Moor to East Covington! Here he owned a taxi system which transported boys who were going to C. H. S. “Phil” had had plenty of experience and there¬ fore was aide to carry on a successful business. In the same neighborhood with Phil” I recognized my old fri end “Kat Irvine, who had disbanded all thoughts of autos. She had studied Sherlock Holmes and was now one of the greatest detectives in the country. Her chief means of transportation was by airplane. I was then shown the C. H. S. building and inside I found Myrtle Kline, who had followed in the footsteps of Mr. Fire- baugh and was teaching English. Across the street in the new edition of the Graded School Building I found Kat Lobban, who was teaching the Eighth Grade. “Kat” was greatly beloved by the pupils because she did all the talking herself and did not ask many questions. In the vacant lot where our marvelous basketball court had been I saw Florence Miller, who had been very much interested in physical education at school, teaching Calesthenics. Later on, who do you suppose I saw? Mil” Parker, who had gone into the fish business. Her latest catch was a “Shrimp.” Bow Wow Hollow was next flashed on the scene, and here in a secluded cabin I found “Mutt” Cover, who was very busily engaged in writing a book on the proper uses of profanity. On each page she would display her talent by drawing- illustrations which demonstrated the positions one should use when it was desired to make your profanity impressive. In another spot of Bow Wow Hollow I saw “Pain” Pedigo. She, too, was a novelist. Her literary ability caused her to write very romantic love stories, her inspiration was without doubt received from life experiences. From Bow Wow Hollow the scene changed to Mallow. Here I found the longest drink of water in our Senior Class. This was Earl Eggleston. Earl was in the wig business. The hair which he used was stolen and smuggled into Mallow. He had plenty of practice in the art of hair-stealing while in C. H. S. In the same vicinity I also saw the one who had delighted in furnishing Earl with curls. This was none other than Mary Bridgett, who had found her ideal (in Walter) and had reached her ambition, which was to live in a cheerful little bungalow. The next scene was a flourishing city, which I should never have recognized as Wrightstown if it had not been for the handsome “Welcome” signs erected bv the Wrightstown Kiwanis Club. Here I saw “Fred” Miller, who was managing the Wrightstown Military Academy football squad. Then came Clifton Forge. 1 had no difficulty recognizing it. Here I found my old pal. Bill Parker. Bill had renounced his hope of being a surgeon and had devoted his life to the manufacture of a famous dye which would give your hair the same hue as an exploded can of tomato soup. He had studied this shade very closely, and he therefore made excellent progress. In Clifton, I also saw Bettie Leitch, who had signed up for life as manager of one of the noted violinists of C. H. S. Orchestra who had a rather poetical name. Hugh Gleason had finally gotten up energy enough to move from Low Moor to Clifton Forge. Hugh was considered as a genius—that is, in the art of evading work. He was proprietor of a new restaurant where you not only served yourself, but cooked your own meals. The next picture flashed on the slate screen showed me C. Mason Perkins traveling over the country with Prof. Firebaugh, lecturing in the interest of the B. Y. P. U. I also saw Gladys Rose, who was of the clinging vine variety. At this par¬ ticular moment our class Rose” was clinging to some lucky man whom her beauty had bewildered. I was next shown Staunton, and here I found another chum, “Seeds ' ” Kidd. “Seeds” had adopted the profession of nerve specialist, and was attempting to discover some kind of remedy for people who went “Buggy” in their school days. We had all expected “Bugs” Revercomb to make dancing her life’s work, but alas! she had suddenly changed her mind, and I saw her in training to be a nurse, but it is rumored that she was soon to become the bride of a very distinguished nerve specialist. I easily recognized the setting of the next scene as no less than Washington, D. C., and here I found our old class poet, Alice Smith, who had given up all hope of continuing her career as a poetess and had decided to be an interior decorator. She was decorating the home of her mother-in-law at this time. In this same city I also found Glenna Sartain, who was busily engaged look¬ ing after a Simps’ son. This name was often heard back in ’25. Next I was shown a bit of Annapolis, Maryland. Here I found my friend, Elizabeth Lyons. “Lib” was a wandering Juliet seeking her Romeo. She said she was going; to stav close to the ocean, so that if he did not come she could feed herself to the fish. However, she was still riding in a Buick car which seemed to be one of her chief amusements while in C. H. S. I had asked Cassandra to set me right on the next location, and she explained that it was a courtroom of Buffalo, N. Y. Of course I was thrilled to see several of my former classmates. On this particular day the case concerned a certain law suit which involved two of my classmates who had fooled me more than once while in school. These were “Fatty” and “Weenie ” Carter. One of the two had married a certain young gentleman who formerly lived in Clifton Forge, and in the mixup he had taken the wrong one on the honeymoon and upon their return the other twin had sued him for desertion. The twins had grown so much alike that even Frances Persinger, our former orator, who was now judge of this par- ticular court, could not distinguish between them. Great was the mixup when in came our “old giant,” Lawrence McCarthy, who had a pair of glasses which he had invented for his own convenience while in C. H. S. When one looked through these glasses one could easily tell the twins apart. I did not know Lawrence was such a great oculist, but I did notice that he could easily distinguish the twins while in the Senior Class of ' 25. In this large city I also saw our old athlete, “Del” Craft. Del” had dropped athletics and had increased his business ability. This time he was business man¬ ager for a very renowned opera singer who had been popular in our fair city of Covington—back in ' 25. In the next scene I saw our old faithful Nellie Marshall, who was the first woman congressman from Virginia. Nellie had abandoned her Ford and was spending her vacation in a house-boat on Lake Erie. The next scene, Cassandra explained, was laid in Alaska, and there was our quiet little Tootsie” Huntley seal hunting. She said the oil from the Seal was very advantageous as a reducing agent. Here, too, I saw my old friend “Eddie” Crowder, who had gotten insured for life while in school, but alas, her protector was unable to sell insurance in the L T . S. and had decided to try his skill at selling it to Polar Bears. I next found my interest centered in Asia. Here I found Ellen Carter who, although she was very quiet in C. H. S., was creating quite a sensation. She was in the furniture business, and her specialty was, in the days of ’25, the “Morris” chair which had those arms which, if you thought as she, you could not resist. My next scene was in the Andes Mountains. Here I found my old friend, Harrison Fridley, who was searching for an Opal with great skill and Craft. I next recognized the Sahara Desert. Here I found our old sheik, Kay” Cushing, who was surrounded by a most beautiful harem. With him was “Caus” Carpenter, who was teaching the young ladies to chew gum. At this time I noticed the very fascinating little toe-dancer, who not onlvoappealed to “Kay,” but to me also. L ' pon closer observation I found that it was none other than our dainty little Grace Wolfe. This scene surely appealed to me and I at once asked Cassandra to let me see more of this wonderful troupe. But, alas! In walked Satan and informed me that my dirigible had been mended. Gee! I was sorry, because I could have remained there with Cassandra forever. That is, as long as I could see my former classmates. I am sure I would have been afforded the pleasure of seeing my beloved faculty of ' 25 also, had not Satan interfered, but perhaps some day I will revisit this queer place. I got into my dirigible, which had been filled with magic hot air, and before I knew it I was again in mid-air, and the extraordinary things was that I managed to bring the dirigible safely to land. I must sav this was the most enjoyable escapade I had ever been on, and I hope that my classmates of ' 25 will all continue to live happily and to prosper in their various positions of life, as everyone seemed to be as cheerful and happy as in our days together at C. H. S. Moore Hi tler. Class Prophet, ' 25. Senior Statistics Name Generally Says Really Is Ambition Hobby Shott” Bridgett .... It’s a humdinger In love To get married Colored Hose “Telia” Carter ....

Officers of Boys Athletic Association William Parker. President Jimmie Smith . Vice-President Fred Miller. Secretary Caleb Cushing Trcasurer Athletics Last year, athletics were put on a.new footing and the results are very gratify¬ ing. We hope it will continue with the same splendid spirit that started it. While there has been no spectacular or brilliant victories, yet we are proud to state that C. H. S. has turned out such teams as I speak of. In football, the team made a fine showing, winning most of its state games, losing the few with as good spirit as if they had won. The school backed up the team with remarkable faith and received as its reward the banner for the district championship, ofifered by the University of Virginia. The basketball team did not play enough games to rise to stardom, but made a fair showing with the four or five games they did play. Losing was due to no fault of the boys, but because they lacked a place to practice and a court on which to plav games. Because of this we had only one game on home grounds, and who can expect a team to win without practice ? In baseball, we started strong, taking the game from Ashwood 9 to 11. We lost to the Grays, 16 to 7, but redeemed ourselves with A. B. A., taking the big- end of a 16 to 0 score. With the pitching of Bartley, Craft and Tolley, we hope to win from the unlucky ones who face this battery in the coming season. The victories of last year will lead us on to more this year. In the future there is predicted for C. H. S.. leadership in all sports; foot¬ ball, basketball, baseball, and tennis. We have the material, if the town will fur¬ nish the necessities, but without the backing of the town and school, eleven men on a football gridiron can accomplish nothing, a basketball team is a joke, nine men on a diamond are mere puppets, and a tennis player is only a fool in white ducks. All C. H. S. asks is a fair show and backing. . Money is all right, but we want people to watch us fight for our school, so everybody get behind 6. H. S. with money and spirit.

FREDERICK MILLER, Manager Every good team needs a good manager, and this year ' s football team has never felt the lack of one so long as we have had “Fred.” Football Letter Men CRAFT, DELMAR— Captain-Quarterback Delmar was the mainstay of the backfield the past two seasons, also our best triple-threat man, and equally good on line and end plays. BUTLER, MOORE— Guard Mooney” held the position with a struggle throughout the year, and we are sorry to lose one of the best guards we have had. KIDD, BLAKE— End “Seeds” did not attempt football until his Senior year, but learned enough of it then to be classed as a good end. We are sorry that this is Seeds’ ” last rear. LAUDERMILK, BERLIN— Guard Chum” was always to be found in the thickest of the fight, cool and deter¬ mined, encouraging his team-mates, and placing a good game. rr —r ; ;fQ==. a 0 ' C= c= r;-.r-3 VV;c =3 .. ' - WILKERSON, STUART— Halfback “Red” played well and consistently in all the games he was in, both on the offense and defense. Red should be splendid next year, after the past season ' s experience. PARKER, WILLIAM— Center “Bill,” although troubled with a bad thumb, gave us flawless passing, and his last year of High School football was well played. MORRIS, CARROLL —Center— Captain-Elect “Snooky,” while not playing in many games, showed his stuff in the ones he did not get in, and gave Parker a stiff race throughout the season for the center position. TOLLEY, COVER —Guard “Queeny” has great possibilities and the C. H. S. fans are looking to him for good work next year. His guarding is good, and is very fast. BEAN, MELTON— Tackle “Beany” came to us from Hinton “Hi” and became one of our best linesmen. We hope to see him back again next year “doing his stuff.” EASTON, CLAUDE— Tackle Hi§ tackling was almost flawless, and his defensive game, while not spec¬ tacular, was such that he was usually found at the bottom of the pile. CADDY, FRANK— End Frank ably filled the position of left end, nailing many of the punters in their tracks. He has been a joy to his team-mates, and a worthy foe to his opponents. HUMPHRIES, MELVIN— End “Hump” did not have a chance to show just what he could do, but when he did play it was always his best. He is a sure bet for next year. M cCAKTHY, LAW RE NCE— Tack le “Big Mack” was the biggest man on our team, but Dame Fortune in the form of a dislocated shoulder, decided that he should not have a chance to demon¬ strate in his last year that he was one of the best in the state. BARTLEY, GARNETT— Halfback “Bar t” was one of our fastest and best punters this year, and a good defense man in every way. He stopped many passes from reaching their destination.

The clubs have been handicapped by the lack of school courts, but in spite of such a drawback our boys took third place in the state tournament held at Charlottes¬ ville last year. Because of the delay due to rain, the girls were forced to return before the match was held. Caleb Cushing and Frank Caddy, Alice Hanson and Elizabeth Cover, the members of our last year’s team, are still with us, but as both of the clubs have greatly enlarged their membership, they will have to increase their speed if they wish to hold the same places this year. “Come on, fellows, get a good grip on your racquets and let’s show the state that we are out for the Cup.” Cheer Leaders YELLS One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, All good children go to heaven— When ther’ get there they will yell Clifton Forge can go to—YELL.

And we surely love her Heaps, and heaps plus. She will always help us, AVhen we are in need, And that is one reason AA hv we shall succeed. Activities The activities of C. H. S. have been much more numerous this year than ever before. This, we believe, is partly due to our system of “Honor Shields.” We have the “Order,” “Scholarship,” “Attendance.” and “Activity” shields. Although “Scholarship” is considered the greatest honor, there seems to be more rivalry between the home rooms for the “Activity Shield” than any other. It requires school loyalty and lots of pep to get an activity shield to hang on your door and as a result, we have had a better school this year than ever before in the history of C. H. S. A great deal of interest has been shown in the assembly programs this year. There has been great rivalry between the classes, and as a result there have been many chapel programs that are worthy of note. Among these were “On the Road to Reno,” “Wild Nell,” “Blue Beard,” and “Romeo and Juliet.” The Benefit Shows this year, the first for the benefit of the football team, the second for the orchestra and basketball teams were both received most favorably, not only in the “Cohisco,” but also in our town paper. The financial success was even greater and helped the teams and orchestra very much. The features in these were the minstrels, by our black-faced comedians, “Bluebeard,” “On the Road to Reno,” Music and Dancing—sketch by W arren Hatcher and Elizabeth Fudge. A feature song and dance by Miss Wyatt, Harry Lobban, and Elizabeth Revercomb, “Two Lunatics.” and “The Flower of Yeddo. Each one was delightful and made a “rep” in dramatics for C. H. S. The Tessie Orchestra furnished the music, which has taught the student body how to appreciate and know what an exceptionally good orchestra we have. Besides these sundry improvements, we successfully began and continued our weekly periodical The Cohisco Outburst , which we think, is the best of its kind anywhere. The social events were numerous and all were full of the “pep” that charac¬ terizes every activity of C. H. S. The parties given to visiting teams, the Sopho¬ more Carnival, the Soph Taffy Pull, the Booster Backward Party, all helped break the monotony of school life. There are rumors afloat of a grand party, which the classes are planning to give the Seniors. This function will prove a fitting climax to a very happy school vear. Our Baseball Son (Tune—When Johnny Comes Marching Home) Our team is the best in all the state, Hurrah! Hurrah! Watch them come across the plate, Hurrah! Hurrah! The girls will sing and the boys will shout When Craft and Tolly strike them out, And we’ll all feel gay when Covington wins the game. And we’ll all feel gay when Covington wins the game. Our boys can hit them far and wide, Hurrah! Hurrah! High or low, out or inside, Hurrah! Hurrah! Our infield is tight, our outfield is fast, And everyone will fight to the last, And we’ll all feel gay when Covington wins the game. And we’ll all feel gay when Covington wins the game.

The man that hath r.o music in him self Xor is not moved with the concord of sweet sounds Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils.” The Covington High School Orchestra was organized in 1923 with five mem¬ bers; two violins, a tenor banjo, traps and the piano. There are now eight mem¬ bers and a much greater variety of instruments. In spite of the fact that it was handicapped by the loss of their talented pianist of last year, the orchestra began practicing immediately after the opening of school and the present accompanist was soon surpassing her predecessor. During the whole of last year, the orchestra felt the need of a saxophone and it is now the proud possessor of two of them. The latest addition has been a trombone, an instrument that adds much to the music. And what are the benefits of this orchestra to our school ? Pep and enthu¬ siasm is in evidence at chapel exercises, and we go to our classes in just the right mood to undertake the problems of the day after we have listened to a good musical selection. There is another benefit derived from the possession of this orchestra; it brings fame to C. H. S. It not only plays for the school every Tuesday and Thursday, but it often furnishes music at the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs and also at the Strand Theatre. The Orchestra has loyally supported the school and has been ready and willing to play when ever they are called on by any of the school organizations. Great things are in store for the C. H. S. Orchestra in the future. It will grow until it becomes one of the finest orchestras in this section of the state. And then, perhaps, we won’t be proud of the organization that means so much to the school. All this is not merely talk, but an ideal that may be reached by persever- ence and a little hard work. With the pep and the snap that characterizes these jazz artists, no difficulty should be encountered in making the Hi Orchestra a grand success. Miss Wyatt, the director, and Miss Jones, the faculty adviser, have done much for the orchestra and it is certain that much of its success is due to their efforts. The Booster Club HORIZONTAL 1.

The main interest in the Literary Societies centers around the debating teams, and this year there has been more interest than usual, because the question of issuing bonds for educational improvements is of vital importance to all students. Preliminary debates were held in both societies, and at the inter-society debate, Caleb Cushing and Moore Butler were chosen to represent C. H. S. in the debate with the team from Rath County. We are expecting great things of Caleb and Moore in the Literary-Athletic League of Virginia. Nothing I have been assigned to the task of writing an article, poem, or what-not for our Annual. This is a what-not. if it is any of the three. It is nearer nothing however, than a what-not. According to the best ethics of English composition, one must first explain one’s subject. Nothing is a very difficult subject to define. However, I will try to give some reasonable definitions. Nothing represents the number of ideas I have on any subject upon which to write for the Annual. This is a small matter anyway, not the Annual—don ' t mis¬ understand me—my ideas are the small matter to which I refer. I write this not because it is. or could be, worth anything as a masterpiece of composition, but from a sense of duty, and to show that my intentions are good. But—What was I saying? Ah. yes—I was going to explain what nothing is. Nothing is a fair approximate of what Warren learns each day at school. It is what he ought to get as his general average on his bi-monthly report. Nothing is what is going on 98 per cent, of the time behind Vernon ' s eve- brows ; it is the sum total of conclusions reached by him after listening to a forty- minute History lecture by Miss Jones. It is the invariable reply of Lois when Mr. Firebaugh asks her what she is talking to Helen about. Nothing is—and this is official—the grade Mary Helen gets on every test, on every subject. That is, she gets nothing prefixed bv ten, two nothings prefixed bv one; in other words, one to which two nothings are attached. It is Bessie’s meaning when she compares one to Beelzebub; it is Evelvn’s idea of life without her football hero. Having defined and limited my subject. I am ready to proceed. But what is there to say—exactly—“nothing.” —Ernest McCaleb, ’27. The following is a copy of one of the most deserving publications of C. H. S. —The Cold Che cola Bust Out. This little paper is composed entirely of the articles which The Cohisco Outburst, the official organ of the Covington High School, has had the bad taste to turn down. If you do not consider these articles worthy of publication, you have the editor’s permission to tear them out of your annuals. The Cold Checola Bust Out The Unofficial Organ of C. H. S. Vol. I. No. 1. COVINGTON, May 10, 1925 Two Bits DEBATE AT C. H. S. There was quite a momentous debate held in the Hall at C. H. S. last week. The subject for discussion was: “Re¬ solved, It is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.” The affirmative was upheld by Miss Alice Hanson, while the negative had for its supporter Miss Virginia Wilker- son. The judge appointed for the de¬ bate was Mr. Moore Butler, a popular and well known defender of the ladies, who observed the debate on points of oratory, delivery, and the points for and against. Miss Hanson’s debate was remark¬ ably well delivered, the audience being swayed by the eloquence of the speaker. The popular opinion seemed to be with Miss Hanson, and the judge seemed also favorably impressed by the speaker. But then, when the speaker for the negative began, all the remarkable oratory of the first speaker was lost. The judge from the very first paid.the closest attention and when the closing sentences of the speech were spoken every one knew that the negative had won. Miss Hanson congratulated her opponent on her speech and the judge was loud in his praise of both speakers, even buying two tickets to the show for that night (it was all right, for he used one him¬ self). We expect another debate soon by two boys, one from this school and an¬ other from Greenboro, N. C., Clyde LaRue and Clarence Phoenix, respective¬ ly, and the judge has already been ap¬ pointed, Miss Edith Crowder. The sub¬ ject will be announced later. -o- YOUR SUBSCRIPTION HAS BEEN PAID, AND THE CIRCULATION MANAGER WISHES TO THANK YOU FOR THE GENEROUS TIP YOU ENCLOSED. $50 IN GOLD AS FREE PRIZE CONUNDRUMS What is the difference between Clara Payne and Grace Nutty?

Wonder who he is.” “Oh Glory! Our boys are at the bat now. I hope Blake hits that ball over the fence. There, he did hit it! Look at Bugs, I wish you would. She is as proud as Blake.” “Wonder where Phyllis is. We surely do need some cheers. Ah! Here she comes. Doesn’t she look dear in that dress she’s wearing?—but I saw Punk Harrison wearing it the other day and . . . . what in the world is the matter with everyone. They say Del- mar has knocked the ball clear over the fence. Oh-h-h—I’m so glad. Wonder what’s the score. I forgot to ask.” “Gee! Look at Mr. Costen.

We had a little excitement the other day when Bob Friend and Kent Marshall threw some chalk and erasers. Miss Allen kept the whole room in, and gave us a lecture. It was a good lecture, but it wasn’t so bad staying in—such a nov¬ elty for most of us, you know. Garnett cut class the other day, but he didn’t get caught. We wonder how he did it. Jean Walton has more trouble with his love affairs than anyone else we know of. He wrote a note the other day asking for a date and Miss Allen got it. She really has a kind heart, though, because she was afraid that “Red” would beat Jean’s time, so she re¬ turned it. Miss Hocker took Alger’s “Slow but Sure” from Howell Bullock the other day. She said it was good literature, all right, but Howell needed the Dative of Possession more than Horatio Alger. -o-•— WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF— 1. We didn’t have Phyllis Pedigo to lead cheers? 2.

COVINGTON HIGH SCHOOL The Covington High School, situated in the heart of a busy city, has many things to be proud of, but among the most noted is the magnigcent and finely equipped building. The chemistry la¬ boratory cannot be equalled in any school in the South. The auditorium, which seats fully two hundred people, is spacious and beautiful. The Covington High School is noted for its Senior Class, which has remark¬ able ability for perfuming the air on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Among other things of note is the Cales- thenics Class. Fully one-third of the pupils are in the county always. We could go on enumerating the qualities for which C. H. S. is noted, but we will conclude with the simple but forceful statement that she is proud of her very brilliant, students.

People purchase here because they have a friendly feeling for this store. The causes which developed this friendly feeling, may differ, in fact, they are sure to differ. One’s friendship for the store is the result of finding good values; another is the result of efficient service and courteous treatment, and so on. Naturally this friendly feeling on the part of our patrons is reciprocated on our part. And this spirit of mutual friendship is an impetus for greater service and an incentive to ever-increasing endeavor to make this store a place where every visitor will feel perfectly at home. fix Jg jg i I fix ' ' H TRUE AND FALSE ECONOMY True Economy is to buy what you need, when and as you need it, for as small a price as possible without loss in quality. True Economy means the buying at a store which has proved its ability in the past to solve your buying problems w 7 hen they threaten to overwhelm you. False Economy means the buying of unnecessary things just because they are “cheap”; or the other extreme, a too close expenditure which tends to sacrifice quality. Bear this store in mind w : hen figuring on expenditures. Let us place all of our facilities at your disposal. We want to help you all w 7 e can toward practicing True Economy, which w 7 e can do now better than ever.
