ROBERTSON -Q: ll' 'K ll' A MESSAGE FROM OUR SUPERINTENDENT January 9, l937. To the Students of Covington High School: I have been highly gratified by the action of the student body of Covington High School in their successful efforts to present a year book, PUFFS AND PATCHES, portraying the life and spirit of Covington High School. May I say in the beginning that it is my desire that this publication continue and grow as an official organ of the student body. It reflects the fine spirit of the student body and shows in a great measure the appreciation of efforts that have been made to improve the school and widen the course of study. Your patience and cooperation has had no little part in the development of a first-class Industrial Arts Department, the expansion of the Domestic Sciences Department, and larger and better quarters for Commercial Work. Your cooperation with your principal and teachers, as well as with your superintendent, is thoroughly appreciated in every respect. I believe you realize that the athletic program of Covington High School is on the up-grade, and I rejoice with you in the fact that you successfully supported your football team to its first District Championship in years. Little need be said about this spirit because your attendance at games and moral support of the team is well known by all the citizens of Covington. You are to be highly commended for the loyal spirit and cooperation that you have shown in all the activities of your school. Last, but not least, there is one thing noticeable in Covington High School that deserves the highest praise of the community. It is that unmistakeable friendliness and courtesy that has ever characterized the student body of Covington High since I have known you in my official capacity. May I urge you to develop and broaden this fine quality along with your high ideals of sportsmanship. Let us all work for the betterment of Covington High and Alleghany County in which you are the future leaders. My sincerest good wishes for your success. Very respectfully yours, S. T.

CLASSES fk X- PUFFS 6' PATCHES CLASS HISTORY OF '37 Tis education forms the common mind: Just as the twig is bent the tree's inclined. E, of the class of '37, had been particularly fortunate in having the twigs of the tree of knowledge bent in the proper direction. Over eight years of probation ended, we stood on the entrance of a mine where much labor would be required if we wished to possess the golden nuggets. Thus we entered our freshman year under the classification- Rats Since rats are very tenacious creatures we immediately assumed this characteristic of theirs. Vigorously we gnawed away the difficulties that confronted us. Our chief problem was learning the values of our X, YZ's and arranging them in their proper places. Finally under the leader- ship of our Pied Piper we were led victoriously-not into the depths of the Weser but across the bridge of the Wiser straight into the realms of the initiated. By some queer trick of evolution we emerged-not as rats, but humans, proudly entering our sophomore year. Finding ourselves in possession of some of the gold nuggets, we determined to labor even harder that our riches might be increased. Here new perplexities awaited us but our greatest problem was arranging our lines in accordance with the rules of the Latins. At last, after many tests, we were told to march forward. Carrying our new supply of golden nuggets we entered our junior year. Looking back we were surprised how quickly our first two years had passed and realized how much our gains exceeded our difliculties. This year some of us continued to wrestle with the Latins while others attacked the French. Business demanded of others that their books be put in proper order and many had difficulty in working problems in squares, circles and angles. Again we gathered our golden nuggets and passed on to our senior year. Here our work was varied and hard. We were compelled to probe deeper into work already started as well as acquire new knowledge. Through all four years we kept in touch with great events and great people of all time through the pages of history and literature. This year the seniors have made every effort to make PUFFS AND PATCHES better both in size and quality than former ones. The results are a distinct credit to them. The Announcer this year has shown such marked improvements that we feel very proud of it. The time has come when we must invest our riches wisely. This cannot be done as a class but individually. Our instructors have done their part, now each one of us, according to his inclination, ability and opportunity. must choose a path, which we hope will lead to good citizenship and success.

A PROPHETIC DIARY May 31, 1947 Dear Diary: Am I glad that I decided to spend my vacation in Covington looking up the members of the graduating class of I937. Covington is a city now, and she has spread her wings as far as Island Ford Bridge. I never imagined seeing so many new stores. May I never forget the thrill I received when I first saw the high school. Ir is so big and modern! I discovered the sweetest little Tea Shoppe. And just think! It belongs to Gladys Porterfield. Virginia I..ewis is the head waitress, and Madge Hughes is the cashier. june I, I947 Dear Diary: As I started to the park this morning, my taxi was struck by a drunken driver. I went to see Lawyer Bill Minter for I knew he would settle the matter without unnecessary publicity. Bill is also an announcer for the new broadcasting station in Covington. After I left Bill, I went to the Tea Shoppe. Francis Meeks came in and he is so interested in his business that he tried his best to sell me a washing machine. I became bored, since I did not need a washing machine, and turned on the radio in time to hear Jr. Reyns, the famous crooner, start his daily program with his theme song In a Chapel in the Moonlight. He dedicated today's program to his pal, William Gregory, who is in the Navy. As I started to leave, in came Harry Rose, smoking a twenty-five-cent cigar. Harry and Peck have moved the poolroom to Main Street and call it Ye Smoke Shoppe. This afternoon I saw a group of wives and mothers gossiping in front of Fishman's. Eagerly I scanned their faces. To my surprise I saw the former Frances Bryant, Ruby Kelly, Cornelia Nicely, Beatrice Tucker, Catherine Rea, Christine Hilton, and Mae I-IaII. It seemed that there was a one-cent sale in town and in the crowd which was rapidly gathering I learned only the married names of two. Mrs. Cornelia Townsend and Mrs. Frances Benson. Maybe I'Il see them again while I am here. I wonder who Ruby Kelly married. june 2, I947 Dearest Diary: Before breakfast I read an inspiring poem which is in the wonderful paper Every Woman's News- paper edited by Miss Charlotte Stephenson. It was written by Emma Cook, the famous poet. To my horror my tooth started aching. I inquired for the best dentist in town and was directed to the ofiice of Thornton Sibley. There, with the assistance of his nurse, Bess Thomas, he pulled my tooth. Deciding to take things easy I went to the show. To think that both the handsome leading man, Oliver Reid, and the comedian, Gus Humphries CAI Jolson the Secondj went to Covington High School the same time I did. And now they are tops in Hollywood. After the show I decided to get a new hat, so I went to the most exclusive millinery shop in the city. It is a very lovely place and so soothing to any woman's nerves to be shown around by its owners, Victoria Payne and Helen Persinger. They know just what is suitable to each woman and the designer, Barbara Mathers, has the most fascinating creations just waiting for a buyer. On my way back to the hotel I met Cxrey Keirn. I-Ie has a good position with the Diesel Engine Company. While I was talking to him Ethridge Burr bumped into me. I-Ie is the manager of I..eggelt's in Bedford. Passing the A. B. C. store I saw these letters on the window: C. E. I... Benson, manager. I reached the hotel about half an hour before Iunch and started reading today's Covington Virginian, hoping to glean more news of the graduating class of 37. Imarine mv surprise, Dear Diary, when in the headlines I saw Buell Fitzgerald Saves Life of Miss Frances Poff, Famous Journalist. Next a wonderful picture of a hospital scene attracted my attention. They always make one feel so insignificant. Under the picture were these words, Dr. William Crosswhite performing one of his most successful operations. At his side were his ever eflicient nurses, Margaret Ellis, Kathryn Pfadt, and Edna Milton. Eagerly watching every move from the gallery, I could distinguish these student nurses, Lucille McNulty, Violet Carter, Marie Whitaker, Janie Finney, and Louise Baker. Still on the front page I saw an article about the newly discovered artist, William Latham, one time cartoonist. Later on in the dining room I saw Ashby Rice. He told me that he was a traveling salesman for the Cornbread Tobacco Company, and that he had tried to sell Woodrow Wright a supply for his hunting club but Woodie told him that all members had good teeth and wanted to keep them that way. I4 I june 3, l947 Dear Diary: This morning I heard that there was to be a meeting of the teacher's staff in order to plan an outline for next semesteris work, so l went to the oflice to see if anyone I knew was a teacher here. The first person I saw was Lemuel Fitzgerald. He is the coach and the team has won the championship every year but three since t937. After all the teachers arrived, I saw: Leonard McLain, Industrial Arts teacherg Dorothy Campbell, Commercial teacher: Leonora Cox, Civics and English Composition teacherg John Bess, Chemistry teacher, Ruth McCarthy, librarian. They all look so dignified and stern now. Tonight I went to Covington's Razzle Dazzle Night Club where Madge Harmon is one of the hostesses. Everytime I turned around I saw someone I knew. There was a group of well-dressed women and among them were Robbie Eubanks, Mary Vail, Sybil Paxton, and Esther Steffey. They are all secretaries. I sat down with them and they told me all the changes going on and all the scandal of the town. Suddenly our conversation was hushed as the floor show started. The announcer was Homer Dodd. He was wearing a tuxedo and spats. He announced Frank Dixon and His Syncopatorsu first on the program. The curtain melted away and there in all its splendor was Frank and his sixteen-piece orchestra. As they played, I studied the faces about me. lsn't that Erma Fultz over there with that distinguished looking man? Well! Just imagine seeing her here. Yes, I know she is a well known scientist. She is stopping here on her way to Richmond where she will deliver a lecture to a Scientists' Convention. There is Harold Brooks. You say he is here on his vacation. You know we called him Chicken and now he looks nhenpeckedul What, he is the father of twins? How nice! I twisted my neck out of place trying to catch the eye of Alfred Baughan, the reporter. I thought maybe if he saw me, he would put my name in the society column. He never saw me because the lights were switched off just then, and into the spotlight a couple stepped and started dancing the most beautiful tango that I had ever seen. They have the grace and soundless skill of panthers. When they took their bows after the lights were turned on, I recognized them as Buck Bayne and Caroline Clarke. Buck teaches dancing. Madge I-larmon's girl friend, Miss Violet Arrington, basketball coach at Randolph-Macon, came in late followed by Francis Watts, electrical engineer at the paper mill. I went over to the bar and saw Carl Knick. He sells Fords. I saw Jr. Catlett sitting at the bar and went over to the seat beside him. l'Ie told me that he was coach at Washington and Lee, with love making on the side. Homer Dodd popped up and announced the arrival of a great coach. Sure enough, there came Lewis Foots Kincaid. His team won the Rose Bowl game last season. June 4, I947 Dear Diary: Today ended my vacation, but I don't regret it. Since so many members of the graduating class of nineteen thirty-seven are in town someone brought about a reunion tonight. What a time everyone had. On the way I met Alfred Rocklin and, by the way, he is going places in the Army. He is a first lieu- tenant now. For a long time we just sat about studying each other. How we have matured, lived, and learned. Many have quite a few gray hairsg sorrows, hurts, success and fame have touched our lives. Somehow the ice was broken, and soon we were recalling and laughing at pranks and the many funny instances of our school days. We became kids and enjoyed it thoroughly. Mr. Curfman was there with his little ten-year-old Katharine and his lovely wife. Finally came the parting. With tears glistening in every eye, we all joined hands, and sang Until We Meet Again. Live a life of service, be honest, and true blue. All that God asks of you is the best that you can do.

On a ridge above the town rested a tiny Crey cottage occupied by twin children, Frances and Francis Cross and their Wlzite-haired grandmother. To the Wright of the house a babbling Brook flowed Maryly along. Early that morning Frances and Francis wandered through the tall green Reids that waved beside the Brook. The Reas of the sun were warm and to cool off they strolled into the quiet of a Woody glen. As the breezes danced about them they gathered Violets and wild Ruby roses until the Thorntons on the roses pricked their fingers. Sud- denly they discovered a tree full of large brown chestnut Burrs. They sat down beneath the tree to eat the delicious Keirnals, but just as Francis started to crack a Burr a wee, small voice cried out, Stop! Stop! please don't hit me. The Burr burst open and out stepped a tiny, brightly dressed, silver Smith. Come to the Hall where I live, he said, and I will treat you Nicely. Curiously the children followed through a forest that seemed to grow more dense and the trees larger. The Smith stopped before the largest tree, and beckoning to the children he entered a queer doorway. They followed M eelfly and upon entering they saw a table laid for two. Invited to eat they sat down for they had grown very hungry. The silver-Smith rang a small bell and in came a tiny C0015 dressed in an apron covered with Dots, carrying a dish of steaming Rice. Following him was a Balfer with a tray of cakes. The children, not noticing the curious actions of the Smith, started to eat, but just as they were about to take the first bite a Poff of wind came through the open doorway, lifted the food from the table and carried it away. Alarmed by this, and realizing it must be getting late they asked the tiny Smith to take them home. I-Ie laughed and said, Eubanlf too much on what I say. You followed me here and you are lost. I shall neither take you home nor allow you to remain here. The frightened children were put out of the warm tree Hall into the cold forest. Not knowing where to go they huddled beneath a tree and in a few minutes the cold Reyns poured down in torrents. just then a large chestnut Burr dropped on Francis' head and caused such a Payne that he jumped in horror. I've been dreaming, he cried, and awoke his little sister. They ran back to the little cottage to tell their dream to their waiting grandmother. -EMMA COOK as .THIRTY-SEVEN Y -,ki COUGAR SQUAD, l936 'K X' .X Y f- .,,. ,Q., , Sagillarius- The Archer 0 ATHLETICS 41 1+ ,M 1, 1' ,K - 'ti ' , 't '- f rea ro' I u , -' rx c 'C5.V s'Ed Q Huul huzu 11 ff E'1 RNA -. .

A pass from Lock 'cl t F' ld ri ge o itzgera in the early part of the first quarter started the scoring. Passes to Via and to Lockridge in the second quarter gave the Covington team I2 more points and a pass to Fitzgerald in the last quarter completed the score. OCTOBER 9: STAUNTON 6: C. H. S. 32 Through long passes, end runs, interference and fur' bl lc' h C ious oc ing t e ougars were able to score over Lee High in every quarter. The height of excitement came when L. Fitzgerald, on a sweeping end play, ran V 96 yards for a touchdown. The second team relieved the first at the end of each quarter. In the last few minutes of play the third team was placed in action. OCTOBER I6: BUENA VISTA 05 C. H. S. 3 ' making a third triumph for the Cougars. OCTOBER 23: VALLEY HIGH O: C. H. S. 7 ' Lockridge on the 3-yard line. Buena Vista High School forfeited the third game of the season to C. H. S. thus The Valley High game turned out to be the hardest fought game of the season, due in part to the lack of three of Covington's first string men, and to the excellent playing of the opposing team. Both teams used aerial attacks going from one end to the other, missing. being brought down each time a few feet from the goal. The Cougars scored in the third quarter with a long pass from Fitzgerald to Via. The score was threatened in the last quarter when the Valley High back made a 60-yard gain before he was brought down by FJ' ' 'HY V: ' ' 1 i 4' I 'sf ef , 'f Q ho ag, ' ..,,- A .A 7 I ig-EQ? V.: r-.

Covington seemed to be making a comeback in the last quarter when Crews and Fitzgerald ploughed yard after yard toward the lVlountaineer's line. When 8 yards from the line the whistle blew. NOVEMBER 6: BEDFORD 69 C. H. S. 26 V Before a Homecoming Day crowd of 2000 spectators the Cougars triumphed over. their outclass team. The first score came a short time after the whistle for the first quarter. A pass from Fitzgerald to Brooks brought I2 points. A long run by Crews, a line plunge by Lockridge and an extra point by Fitzgerald gave C. H. S. its third score. The entire squad saw A action in this game and gained valuable experience. NOVEMBER 13: CENTRAL HIGH 09 C. H. S. I4 Lem Fitzgerald passed, ran and kicked the Cougars to a triumph over Central High. Twice in the first quarter the Cougars found themselves deep in the enemies' territory but were uprooted in short order. The line checked the plunging power of Ben May but his exploits accounted for most of Central's gains. NOVEMBER 20: HARRISONBURG 0: C. H. S. I4 The Blue Streaks, last year champions of District Seven, came to a halt when they ran against the Cougar line. In the early part of the second quarter a long pass from Fitzgerald to Brooks and a short run of Crews brought the Cougar's first score. A long pass from Fitzgerald to Brooks, with Fitzgerald gaining an extra point gave C. H. S. its final score. This brought to an end a l season of victory for C. H.
