It is a record of youth — youthful ideals, youthful ideas, and youthful accomplishments, and therefore we have chosen as our theme the ])ersonihcatiou of youth, Pierrot and Pierrette. Turn the pages and stri e with Pierrot t(j make real the ideals which hang on the horns of the moon and huild the castles which can only float on dream clouds. Dance with Iherrette as lightly over hearts as over flowers and join hands with both of them as thev lead vou into the magic garden of youthful dreams — that almost come true.

In the beginning, there would he no Covington High School without Mr. Jeter, and that honored group which supervises every undertaking of the school. One looks about, and sees the evitlence of their generosity to us in our endeavors to obtain an education. First, we see the Domestic Science con- veniences which have added so much to the comfort and accomplishments of Covington High School. One of the latest improvements is the stereopticon, which has been greatly needed to improve our assembly singing by projecting the songs on a screen. Our Athletics have always gained the hearty recommendation and support of the board. Mere words cannot express the appreciation of all Coving- ton High School to these worthy men, who have done and continue to do so much for us. MR. Rl ' FUS J. COSTKN, IF .K., M. A.

History OF FOUR ■EARS SPENT IN THE CiARDEN OE KNOWLIUXIE bright day in Se[)teniber, E)24, Pierrot and Pierrette stood hesitatingix ' at tlie gate of the great garden ot knowl- edge. d’hey knew not whether to venture inside or not, and as they lingered on the threshold, a kind voice hailed them. “Do not turn back when you are just at the goal,” it said. There stood a genial old gentleman, his face beaming with smiles, and Pierrot recognized his old friend Pantaloon, the keeper of this beautiful garden. He invited Pierrot and Pierrette to go through the garden, and, taking them bc ' the hand, continued, “While we stop t(j think we often miss our o])])ortunit ’.” b ' irst he conducted them down a narrow walk. On every side grew beautiful, mysterious llowers and green shrubbery. Pointing to an ageil tree, twisted and gnarled. Pantaloon said, “That ancient tree, Latin, demands much attention daily. If it is not regularly cared for, some of its limbs called conjugations, (jr even its bulky leaves, vocabularies, will fall off and crush any one who stands nearby with idle minds. People onl)’ see the beauty of it after years of cultivation.” Pan- taloon showed his voung friends a mvsterious creeping plant wh(jse oddly shaped leaves resembled small crosses or X’s. d ' his creeping ])lant ran along the ground and sprang out in verdure everywhere. Pantaloon called it Alge- bra. Eloating on a beautiful lake in which Time ri|)pled in gentle waves in- stead of water, Pierrot saw many lilies growing. These he called History, and Pierrot was amazed at their vari-colored hues and shapes as Pantaloon pointed out their beauty. “Hut,” said Ikintaloon, “learning is ever in t he freshness of its youth, even for the old.” Quite near the lake, grew a hard - border of perennials and annuals whicb Pantaloon called his Literature border. It was filled with countless beautiful llowers, some of which blossomed profusely for a season or two and some of which faded out of sight after a short, but vivid Howering. For some time, Pierrot lingered while Pantaloon showed him the beauties (jf this border, which required constant cultivation. At the end of another walk bordered by stately, aged trees, Pierrot noticed a recently pruned tree called Geometry. Pantaloon said its lowest branches could be seen Iw most men, but its heights could be reached only Ijv a daily pruning out of the thick branches that stood in the way. Close by grew a small shrill), French, which waved to and fro in the breeze. This, Pantaloon said, was at hrst very delicate. He had feared for its existence, hut after ears of steady fertilization it grew into a beautiful shrub. In a small round bed, Pierrot saw three gorgeous flowers. Pantaloon said they were more recentli planted than the rest of the garden, but produced manelous flowers and were in great demand. These flowers were called Shorthand, llook ' keeping, and Tipewriting. P ecause of their quickness and sensitii eness to every gentle breeze which passed, the whole bed was called Pusiness. Pantaloon kept some flowers under glass. Thev were so hard to raise and so peculiar and unexpected in their flowering. He called these Chemistry, and because the temperature was kept constant, their beauty grew and chang- ed erv rapidlv, completeh’ charming Pierrette. For four years, Pierrot and Pierrette labored with Pantaloon in the garden and each day they came to loi e the flowers more and more. Fvery day, they found new flowers and discoi ered new colors and shapes among the older ones, d ' hei ' became almost as expert as Pantaloon in caring for the flowers, anti their pride in the garden increased dailv. Toward the end of their fourth year Pantaloon called Pierrette and Pierrot to him and sorrow fnll ' told them that they would have to leave him and seek a larger garden or ])erhaps start one of their own. d ' here were so many other people knocking at his entrance gate, that he felt he should admit new laborers. Sorrowfully, Pierrot and Pierrette gathered together their gardening implements and prepared to depart. Sadly, they hade farewell to all the flowers thee had tended for four wars. The gate of the garden stood open before them, hut they must go se])arate ways, and no one knew what the future held for them. Pantaloon stood near and hade them farewell. He held in his hand two lovelv white flowers. Thev were called Diploma lillies, and although Pierrot and Iherrette had heard of them, they had never seen one before. Fkintaloon pinned one of these rare flowers on each of his former gardeners and the - set out proudlx hearing the fairest of all the flowers of the garden on their breasts, - -Mary Ci.akke, Class Historian. Vale So long as unselfish affection Sits throned in the halls of my heart, So long in my thoughts, dear classmates. Shall each one of you claim a part. The memory of former days, classmates. No power of time shall defy For it will grow brighter and deeper As the years, like a river, roll by. Dear friends, no one ever did greet you More gladly at morning than I, And no one, at evening, more sadly, ' et lovingly, bids you good by. No matter how true or lunv faithful The friends who succeed me may be Keep still in your hearts, my classmates, k memory that’s only of me. When the ties that have bound us are broken And we start on the journey of life. We’ll think of the days spent together And forget all the worry and strife. May your lives be blameless and useful And your years, whether many or few, Ite rich with the fullness of blessing And the fullness of hapjnness, too. Good-by, my dear Classmates, God bless you And keep you fnjm evil and wrong. May The Great Teacher guide you and make }’ou T’ure hearted, brave, noble, and strong. And at last when this life’s school is over And the Master calls up Mis class To examine and make out the records Then may ever}- one of you pass. — JuANiT.x Hodcks. Adventures in Dreamland WitK Pierrot and Pierrette WAS just the other night while I was pondering over my Ih ' ig, trying to locate the cosine of x, the tangent of y, the nantissa of z, and in the meantime muttering curses upon the nan who invented such stnfif, that I heard a gay voice say ; “Leave such prosaic stuff and come with ns, Pierrette and ne, to look for adventure and romance, ddie world is hlled wdth both, if yon only look for them. Whv ! 1 can show von flowers decked with jewels of the rarest waters, and castles more gorgeous than sunsets. The fairies dance if yon believe in them, and the pixies do their tricks if yon know where to hnd them. Don’t grow old and wise, stay young and foolish. Come and l)e happy with ns.” Looking up to see what visitor wished to tem[)t me away from my duty, I beheld the smiling face of Pierrot. I closed ni}- book without the least hesitation and followed my guide. After hoarding a ros} ' dream cloud, we floated along amidst the most wonder- ful sights that 1 have ever witnessed. I ' he highway was called “Imagination Highway,” I know, for 1 remember the signs along onr way, hut 1 cannot re- member all of the strange places we visited. I saw huge castles and heantifnl lakes on which stately swans preened their snowy feathers. We stopped to watch the little sun fairies digging in deep mines to turn out tons of golden snnheams. Pierrot told me that when they went on a strike, the earth had a dull, dark day. In Mars, when 1 asked to see a school, a little Martian boy laughed at me and Pierrette explained that on that i)lanet, children were horn educated. (Think of their luck. ) I saw Jack Frost’s studio where he designs his famous frost lace. Most of his workers were laid off just now, he said, as his was a seasonal occupation. “Let’s lea e the cloud now and get a dream boat and go for a sail on the Milky Wa)’,” begged Pierrette, and both Pierrot and 1 agreed that it Avonld he fun. Soon we were in a heantifnl, gentlv rocking boat with sails made of many gaih -colored ])ajamas fastened together. Instead of blue water, we glided gently through foamy white milk, and you’ll not he surprised to hear that all around ns were swimming jollv little hntter-fish. The time Hew so (piickly and 1 was so highly entertained that 1 wished T might go on with Pierrot and Pierrette forever, hut 1 began to think of Mother and Dad and of how disa])pointed they’d I)e if I didn’t graduate from high school this year. I knew I should have to go hack to hnish my lessons, for, if I didn’t, I would get a hunch of demerits the next day. I kne v also that Miss Jones expected me to hand in a class prophec} ' for the annual, and I hadn’t CA’en started it. Turning to Pierrot, 1 explained nn- difficultv. Pier- rette, or’erhearing me, exclaimed; ‘‘That’s easy! Don’t worry about the prophec) . We’ll take ou to Puck, and he’ll tell ()U what will really happen to all of _ ()ur class, ’f’ou see, he is ])art fairv, and he has so much curiosit ' that he is alwavs looking ahead to see what is going to ha[)])en to folks.” .Vlmost immediatel)- we disembarked, and catching hold of a sih ' er moon- beam, we slid down to earth right into a fair ' dell, where we actually caught Puck napping. 1 was afraid to wake him, hut not so Pierrette. She tickled his nose with a blade of grass and, l)elie ' e it or not, he waked up, smiling. Pierrot and Pierrette ex])lained m - difhculty. Puck admitted that he had looked up e ery one’s future at least ten years ahead, hut that he couldn’t re eal what he had seen. W ' e were turning sadly away in disapixdnt- ment when he called us hack and asked us if we shouldn’t like to have him phu ' and sing for us. This is the song with which the sl ' little fellow he- guilded us : ”1 gaze into the future, through a magic looking glass i nd laugh at all the funii} ' things that surely come to pass. Some 1 see, are single, and some in the married state. Mild matrimony often ])roves, a not unhappy fate. I See Lee Heironimus driving a Red Cross Ambulance While Dorothy I’arker and Teeny” Ilean teach us the latest dance; d ' here’s Ruth Floyd keeping a dainty little tlat And listen to this secret, the girl is getting fat. Rob Friend is an actor, and he i)lays in Juliet, Xegebia Fllis lectures just like a suffragette.

And Lvndell Carpenter, a model, tries on the Paris hats. The Honorable Emmett Ifaston is a Senator of worth. And little N’ita Hodges’ jjose is, Charmer of Earth.” The most famous cure for aches aiul ills Is made by Marie Albert into appetizing ' pills, And Lawrence Rea is the driver of a liig bus in the cit} ' , Mabel liennet got a divorce and remarried, what a pity! Ifmma llamlett is a world famous chef. And Della Cook is a teacher of l)oth the dumb and deaf. Delberta I’ell writes answers to Questions on Love,” Janet Reid is a traffic co]) for aeroplanes above. Clifford llarriz is a ricli man with a million or more. Rut Catherine llowell is matron of an almshouse for the pool ' . Louise Driscoll ow ns a modern hot-dog stand. And Lthel McCauley leads .Sousa’s band. I’rof. Odelle Dressier adds to Columbia’s fame. And aids I’auline llepler in the newspaper game. Miss Reulah .Snead is on the screen in llollywmod, In Lyllian Robinson’s latest play, Whv Re Cood?” 1 .see that Helen Mover is a globe trotter gay, Helen Warren o’er the radio tells us news of the day. Nancy Ryers owns a jiri .e-winning farm, Mary Clark is in I ' dorida at last, where it is warm.” “Now, how do ' ou like that little song,” asked I’uck as he stopped sing- ing and idly strummed on liis lute. “Of course 1 am sorry 1 can’t tell you any- thing about your future or that of your classmates. The fairies won’t permit it, hut I hate to see you disap])ointed, and 1 think that’s a rather snappy litle ballad, even if 1 did make it up myself.” Pierrette and Pierrot both clapped their hands and I joined in their ap- plause. I clapped so loudly that 1 waked myself up, still clajiping, and has- tened to write all this down before 1 should forget it. — .ksircY Tykki:, Class Prophet, ’2H.

H. S. Knntc Rockne has said, “It is not the coach that makes the team, hut the |)layers.” A plansihle, hut incixrrect statement in onr case. The responsiliility for the dexelopment of the players and the team rests directly njEon the coaches. It has heen noticc- ahle during the past years of onr athletic cxi)ericnce that the quality of the teams haxe risen at the same ratio as the caiiahility of the coaches, until noxx ' vx’e haxe reached a standarrl as high as any in the state. To the head coach, Air. Rice, an aide strategist in delivering trick i)lays and gaining ad- xantageous positions, we owe the major jEart of onr success this year in athletics. He is a P. I. graduate, a graduate of Knute Rockne’s coaching school, and one of the finest of men. Mr. Luke acted as a coach to the linemen, a great aid to onr overworked head coach. Many thanks arc due him for his presentation of gold ftiothalls to the letter men in honor ol onr xictory over the Clifton F orge team. Mr. Whitlock, of W ' .and L., coached the hack- fiehl in many new tactics, while his serxices in hasehall were inxalnahle. Mr. Cnrfman has not only rendered possible the athletics of our school hy his sagacious financial adxice, hnt also has made exery effort in encouraging our teams to carry forward the sjjirit of the Gold and BliK’ to x ictory. ' I his possession of so qualified a coaching staff, which gix-es its serx ices so kindly with- out rccomi)ense, is decidedly an asset to any school. Onr appreciation is nnhounded.

The second game with Charlottesville attracted the largest crowd of the season. Our liovs fought them to a standstill in the first half. Miller was here, there, and everywhere. His work was outstanding. Hahn gained most con- sistently, and if Easton’s kicking had been up to ])ar we might at least ha ’e scored one touchdown. With forty-five seconds to play and score 0-0, C.

Ex- pectaticjiis of a highly successful season were great and oi)timistic. h ' or the opening game of the season we went out (jf our class and engaged the local Dar- brooks. This team was one of the best semi- professional clubs in the state, but C. H. S. chjsed the first half in the lead. The “silk worms” came back strong and wound u]j on the long end of a 42-28 count. A. Rea at center constantly gained the tip and garnered most of our points. Friend at forward showe d well and sunk several nice baskets. C. H. S. was next opjjosed by the Valley I ligh quint. I ' he boys from the Valley couldn’t seem to get going and at half time they trailed under a 20-0 avalanche, mainly by the fine work of the subs Smith, Adelson, and Schuder. The Valley boys rallied, but C. H. .S. breezed in a 40-19 victor. The fastest game which C. H. S. played was that with the tireenlirier Military School Fac- ulty. In the third quarter the teachers ran the score up to 23-10, !)ut Jones and Fowler sud- denly rallied and began to hit I)askets from any and all airgles of the court. C. H. S. forg- ed ahead 25-24. They were never headed and emerged victors 32-28. One (jf the hest higli school teams which C. II. S. opposed during the past season was Ivon- ceverte High live. Tall, fast, and experienced, these cagers were too much for our hovs and they took the game 28-22. I aile ’ |)layed a hne defensive game for C. H. S. C. H. S. next won a second victory over the (i. M. S. teams. This time the Reserves suf- fered a 30-23 defeat. F. Rea worked capably in this contest. The team performed well as a whole. C. 11. S. Played her first out of town game at (j. M. S. The (1. M. S. Reserves were our opl)onents. Rex Sharp, our whis])ering bari- tone” from West Virginia, broke into the line- u]) in thi game. His work stamped him as a good prosjject and with a little nujre experi- ence he will develop next year into a real star. The Cadets never threatened seriously, hut closed with a rush to bring the score to 36-30. C. H. S. i )urneyed to Ronceverte with dis- astrous results. fRir hoys were way oft from. Ifaston was the only one who had an eye for the loop. There is no doubt, however, that the Ronceverte hoys jdayed a hne game and well deserved their 41-25 victory. C. 11. S. then played the much over-rated White Sulphur Independents. C. H. S. rang up the goals rather regularly, while our opjjonents didn’t seem to know what it was all al)out. The Indejjendents escaped with a 43-16 verdict. C. H. S. next played Lane High of Char- lottesville for the championshi]) of district IV. C. 11. S. smarting under a 7-0 defeat at the hands (jf Lane in footl)all was out for revenge. The score see-sawed hack and forth hut the tine work (T our shifty little lloor guard, “Dit c” Jones, turned the tide our way, and C. 11. S. thus became the proud possessor (jf a district championship banner, by virtue of our d9-d2 triumph. This victory gave us the right to play Oceana High of South Norfolk. A. Rea, our pivot man, was put out in the second quarter because of personal fouls. Otten, substituting for him, showed up well and was easily the stellar j er- former of the contest. The seaside hoys were long-shot artists, hut the ])asswork of our hoys and their deadly accuracy on the short sheets combined to give us the game, vLS-25. The larg- est crowd ever to witness a basketball game in Covington was i)resent for this contest. C. 11. S. after this game left for Alexandria to play for the state Class R championship. About ninety fans accompanied the team. The Scarlet and White of Alexandria had dropped (jiily one game previously and that by a close margin. ' I ' he Cold and Mine, unfamiliar with the court and the playing system prevalent there, were completely outclassed in the first half. After (jne of Mr. Rice’s torrid speeches” the hoys returned determined to fight for every point. Led by Jones, the Covingtonians made an impressive comeback, hut the lead was too great to overcome and they lost 41-19. This game was the linal of a very creditable year. The perfection which was gained in basketball combined with the admirable work in football hel])ed raise the standard of ath- letics to a })o.sition among the first in the .state. We are holding bright prospects for next years team. Althf)ugh we may capture a state cham- pionship next year, no team could sur])as.s the excellent progress of this year’s team in form and strategy. k }j FoV yvir C. H. S.

Cirls’ athletics have always been limited to interclass contests because the administrative officers have not been in favor of interscholastic games for girls. Some very exciting games were jdayed this vear with the Faculty Team and a small sum was netted at the puhlic games with this awe-inspiring sextet. zAs most of t hese games were staged im- mediateh ' preceding the Roys’ contests, the girls feel sure that they were resjion- sible for the ])rompt assemblage of the largest crowds ever out to witness hasket- ball games in Covington.

Baseball Squad In anlici])ating- the coming hasehall season great hopes are held out for an inuisnally good season. Although, through lack (jf preparation we have lost the first three games, we are determined to lose no more. The team is settling into the rut of coordination, and is becoming more and more proficient in the s])ort. With the continue l improvement of the batteries and the other ])la ’ers, the team is becoming more effective.

HICN Father Time pulled back the curtains on the new year, 1928, the opportunity (jf the fairer sex of the world became evi- dent. There was an international call (;f the wild and she re- verted to the old instinct of the Amazon which becomes pre- dominant every four ’ears. C. IT S. was most modern in this respect. F(jrmer shy maidens sighed in open relief and began the hunt, while many a bashful man fled in horror before the onrushing hordes. (Jn with the mad dance; the Reign of Terror is here! Fat, drink, and he merry, for tomorrow we may he married ! Fvery realm of bachelorhood was invaded by the merciless women during the chase, and tlujse once poor, heljtless creatures of the weaker se.x, insjtired dread and fear in the hearts of their S(jught-for victims. The most fearless and brave of men avoided in trepidation the paths and lairs of preying women. From this chaos of revolution, a select few have risen t(j oppose the invasion and to halt the massacres. The appearance of this indfunitable group has revived ho])e in the hearts of the overwhelmed faction. The admirable courage of these leaders is so commendable that a few words are necessary to pay tribute to their memory . Despite their determination and opposition several have succumbed t(j the wiles of their opponents. Promising young Pink” Coburn has allowed his fal- lacy for sleeping to overcome him. The result is that poor Paul was caught nap- ])ing. Also Captain Curfman has been arraigned on charges of considering de- serting to the other side. His very hesitancy betrayed him, our spies catching him in communication with an enemy from Kosedale. Perha])S you have noticed young Will Dunhrack becoming fcjrtified for an offensive. Kincaid, his tonsorial attendant, is just learning the trade. He has sworn oft females and has become engrossed in his occu])ation. P)Ut, remember, Hill ; there’s many a clip ’twixt the scissors and the locks. The appearance of Lawrence Rea, (lus Smith, and Clifford Harriz in the camp of the beseiged caused much consternation, but it was soon discovered that they were only spies from the other side, looking for recruits. They were cap- tured last year. Parson” Tyree has been forbidden to juaictice his trade anywhere within several leagues of C. H. S. The remainder of the chfjsen ones have remained unmoved by the charms of the huntress. They are determined to emerge victorious and single. Nevertheless, the Amazons declare that Leap Year comes for woman’s bene- ht, and those that may fail in their first attempt, slyly smile, and know that 1932 will bring the same opportunity. Then man shall tremble in his mighty kingdom, for he knows that sooner or later woman will say, “I came, 1 saw, 1 conquered.” R Qooimo i llm -d.t5i$hTxcs.

I just have a hankering hope, how- ever, that Cupid shoots me with a Pierce-Arrow.” Frank: “What is your worst sin?” Virginia Rean : “Mv vanity. 1 spend hours before the mirror admiring my beauty.” h ' rauk : “That isn’t vanit ' — that is imagination.” Delherta: “He said 1 was the most wonderful girl in the world.” Ruth: “He ought to jiatent that before it gets around.” Ikev Prooks: “Eadder, them is the goal posts.” Faiider (sadly): “Xo, Ikey, them posts ain’t gold.” “Is your wife still at home.

Mrs. Costen : Our maid has sharp ears.” Mr. Costen: Yes, 1 notice the doors are scratched up around the key-holes.” In a contest in dressing for speed, a Chicago girl’s record was forty-hve seconds. Wdial could she have keen ])utting on the last thirty seconds? Laugh and the world laughs with you ; weep and you streak your rouge. Advice to l.)amsels: Never let a fool kiss you and never let a kiss fool you. Wifey: John, there is someone in the pantry and I’ve just made a pie.” Hubby: “Well, it’s all right with me as long as he doesn’t die in the house.” Mr. Curfman : I heard a new one the other day. 1 wonder if 1 tohl it to you ?” Miss Clynes : Is it funny?” Mr. Curfman: “Yes.” Miss Clynes: “Then you haven’t.” Dorothy: W ' hat’s the formula for water?” Teeny: ' “H.

A fish will never get caught so long as he keeps his mouth shut. When you think the door to a successful future is closed against you, the ivory knol) that holds it shut is not on the door.

Because of its patented form, it gives you maximum quality — that is, true Ruberoid quality— at minimum cost. Consider u hat this means. For nearly half a century Ruberoid has set the standard by which roofing prod- ucts have been judged. Now this quality is found in a strip-shingle, the price of which is within the reach of anv one. This shingle has a most disti.ictive design and one which may be varied in many ways. You can lay !c in red or green entire, or com- bine these colors in many harmo- nious patterns to which the slate surfacing lends itself admirably. You can lay Ruberoid Strip- shingles yourself. They are seif- spacing. No chalk lines are nec- essary Only five nails to a strip, but each strip actually secured ny nine nails. On reque.st we will gladly send you an attractive folder describing the Ruberoid Strip-shingle.
