Outstanding in its mem- bership are the cheerleaders who aid their fellows to give more lusty support at all athletic events. This is particularly true during the football season, when all loyal supporters don the gold and blue, and march with banners flying to the scene of tl1e teams forthcoming victory.

They see that the auditorium is ready for assemblies at all times--and that entails more than the average person knows. In the old high school building they had to place the chairs, often at fifteen minutes notice. Important among their duties, is the placing of the national and state flags on the platform. Incidentally, they bought' and presented those flags to the student body. Although the Auditorium Club meets only twice a week its activities continue through every day. It is the wealthiest club in high school due to its activities and hard work. 45 1940 1: Q. U W 2 S 5 PUIJFS and PATCHES Mn. GRAINGER ........ TOMMIE MASSIE ....... BILLY Ji:NN1Nc.s ......

The band has led a hard life. It seemed as if its members were never going to get uniforms, but finally, through the aid of the Band Boosters Club, several uniforms were secured. There are now ap- proximately fifty-six uniforms. u One motto is not sufficient for the C. H. S. bandg it has two: the first, a sort of 'honorary motto, is Every day in every way, the band is getting better. The other, the active motto, is Repetition is the greatest thing in music. QEX. Mary l-lad a Little l..amb. J Several concerts have been given, in parades, at baslcetball and football games. The entire band went to the night game in Harrisonburg. The most important event, however, was the trip to Farmville State Teachers' College, on April twelfth. The band also played at the C. C. Camp for supper and movie afterwards on April fourth.

Their Work is a very valuable one to the school as well as to themselves, because the members are in charge of the infirmary. At the beginning of the year, the First Aid Club learned how to make bandages and how toapply them. Later, they studied communicable diseases: their prevention, symptoms, treatment, and cure. A course in home nursing was taken by the members, at the suggestion of Miss Holsworth. l 0 . Miss McAllister, M. Cousar, A. Cover, J. Knapton, F. Long, R. Martinelli, M. McCaleb, M. Ricliardson, N.

With Miss McAllister as sponsor, ten charter members were chosen from the various French classes. The name of the club may have originated with the fact that its members are the flowers of the flock. An average of at least 90 is required, and even if one should, with much labor, meet that requirement, he may become a member only by invita- tion-Which means a majority vote. 49 1940 PUFFS and PATCHES Row 1: L.

They are known officially as the Science Club. Since the terrible odors which these scien- tists are capable of creating are too obnoxious to most of the other students, they have turned to the more dainty side of the subject, and have combined with the Home Economics Club, being in charge of the program on each Thursday. The sponsors of both clubs have noticed increased interest since the new project has been under way. 50 GLEE CLUB OFFICERS RUBY MAUPIN ............ ...................... JUANITA BRACKENS ...........

Tem- peramental outbursts are frequent, and when arguments begin to become heated, the wisest step is to start playing a number immediately. Performances, however, are almost always successful. Besides appearances at school dances and assemblies, there have been numerous outside engagements: notably the Bat- tery D banquet and dlance, the American Legion banquet, and an assembly at Clifton Forge High School. Their rehearsals are held once each week, in Order to be ready to play at any time. 52 In F E AT U R E S ADVERTISEMENTS W1-1o'S W1-To SNAPS1-1oTS SPECIAL DEPARTMENTS HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT . . . w,,-H..,f .f+iff mffffff f f- ' - H' f--f fv Official jeweler For Covington High School Ramos Amo PINS IIXIVITATIONS, crore PINS Walter B.

To him, however, it means little more than just a vague idea that the department has something to do with typewriting and shorthand. The commercial course was put in our high schools some years ago because a ma- jority of the tax-paying and school-supporting people of our country who could not afford to send their children to college, demanded an education for their children which would help them earn a living and which would be a benefit to them in the every-day problems of life. Today, however, there are many students taking the commercial course because they are planning to go to college and know that this work will help them while in college. We have enrolled in our department l23 pupils. As the commercial course is elec- tive, the pupil may take all or any part of the course he desires. We include in our course typewriting, shorthand, and bookkeeping, with business arithmetic being taught in another department. When a student enrolls in the commercial department an attempt is made to discover what his aptitudes are and where his interests lie. l-lis real incentive in taking the course should be to get a training which will help him to obtain some sort of business employ- ment after leaving school.

Main Street Continuous Shows I COVINGTON VIRGINIA I2:3O R NI. to II :oo R. M. CLASS PROPHECY Let us gaze into my wonderful crystal. Keep gazing while I adjust several knobs and properly focus the clear crystal. For what date do you desire me to set it? January 5, l950? Very well-here goes. Ah, the crystal ball is now ready to show everything! I will first focus it on Covington, Virginia, and see what I can find. You must remember that the town of Covington has now doubled in size and is cleaner. I see in our very own school none other than Miss Martha Spradlin teaching French and La- tin! The class is rather excited as they are going to witness a football game on the C. H. S. athletic field between Covington and Maury High of Norfolk, for the state championship. The team, under the lead- ership of Coach Carroll Richard, has been an outstanding success this season. We beat Clifton Forge IOI to 0 and defeated Hinton, W. Va., 4l-0. Suddenly the bell rings, classes change and a wave of strange faces emerge and return to its various homerooms. Among the homeroom teachers are Virginia Humphries, biology teacherg Garland Linton, the new Physics and Chemistry teacher, Ann Sites, who teaches English to juniors, and none other than Scott Coffey as the principal. Scott is not very strict as he was a boy once, too. That's all I can see in the school house so I'll look over town to see if I can find somebody else. Oh yes, I see that Horace Revercomb is a very successful lawyer in town and it was rumored .that he will run for the state governorship. Good luck, ole boy! Ralph Barr is getting off a train to visit his mother and father. His father gave him his business and Ralph now has Barr-Topham stores located in every state of the Union. He has certainly succeeded in life. When you read the Covington Virginian don't forget that its editor-in-chi-ef is Buster Miller. His business is fast growing and he has such able reporters under him as Billy Lambert, Freddie Allison and William Snead, who travel all over the world for news. Billy Lambert is, at the present, with the noted explorer, Harry Lee Wilhelm, in Africa for news. Incidentally getting back to the paper, if you look marriage of carefully in the soci-ety column you will find several things that will interest you. First the William Byers and Irene Walton is announced, and second, a party was given last night by socialite Juanita Bi-ackens. Among those present were Mary W. Overholt and her fiance, Bobby Jones. The third event is the leaving Covington for Florida of C-wen Long, who was chosen as Miss Virginia in l948. Ralph Hill has just returned from Canada after two weeks of skiing and hunting. He goes there every year for recreation. That is all that I see in the Covington Virginian. Woodrow Rooklin is doing splendid work in his father's old store which is now his. He has expand- ed and takes up a half block now. John Dodd owns a drug store next to Woodrow and he, also, is doing good business. Leona Lively is also in business, namely, a beauty shop. Joseph Kemper drives a Grey- hound bus and he frequently comes through Covington. Mac Watts and Johnny Via are in partnership in the Strand Theatre. Now showing is Jane McCormick, the twice divorced movie actress, in The Lady or the Tiger. Playing opposite her is Kent Evans. Theodore Psomadakis runs a cafe next to the theatre and in competition with him are Paul Hilton and Marion Miller. Duck Sprouse is the boxing instructor for V. P. I. and James Lee for University of Virginia. Pete Harding is a policeman who is well liked by the law-abiding citizens of Covington. Working in the WestVaco Paper Mill are Macon Meeks, Eugene Miller, Archie Hepler, Norman C-off, Richard Harrison, Gilmer Wilhelm, Ernest Mc- Daniel, Billy O'Neil, Robert Smith, Jack Burch, Leroy Forbes and Hurchelle Baker. Their jobs range from laborers to executive positions. - The silk mill recently expanded and among those now working there are Norman Childs, Clinton Craft, Robert Simpson, Woodrow Smith, Robert Ordel, and Billy Knighton. Their jobs also vary from laborers to executive positions. Working in the Diesel Engine plant which was discussed so much several decades back are Sidney Oliver and William Harmon. Sidney holds an important drafting and design- ing position while William is the chief machinist. Many of the boys are now in the military service. There are C. A. Lipscomb and Billy Walker who are attached to the Second Pursuit Group at Langley Field, Virginia. William Humphries is a Corporal in the first infantry division of the Army. Bedford Stull is a first lieutenant in the field Artillery. Cebert Weikle is attached to the Coast Artillery. Linwood Snead and Nace Mefford are engineers at Langley Field. Kenneth Childs is in the navy. He is in command of a destroyer. Harry Bunch is second mate of a modern submarine.. Ed Burch is a high ranking army officer. Paul Ruble teaches military science at V. M.. I. Harold Bennett is now a famous poet. You can read some of his poems in his latest book, Poetry of Today. Francis Basham 8: Co. published this book. Henry Burns' article appears in all the major newspapers in the country. He is rated very high as a commentator. Among the happily married housewives in Covington are Marie Craft, Adele Holcomb, Hilda Reed, Pearle Miller and Mary Williams. This is everything that I can see in Covington so I will now focus my magic crystal ball on various regions of the United States. Hmmm, let's see now. l'll just sweep it across the west coast and Oh, yes- Here's Norman Seldomridge and his famous swing band playing at Coconut Grove. Tommie Massie is his hot drummer. They are now introducing a new song which is a sure hit. I'll focus my crystal on Hollywood to see who else I can find there. Look, there is Billy Williams, the director of a famous movie company. He is directing a comedy in which Kidley Lockridge is the leading star. Mary E. Vance is a make up artist for the same company. Zella Looney is a script girl for another company. Irene Stull and John Eddie Dawson, married, live in Los Angeles. john Eddie is in the real estate business and is doing well. Ann Cover is a dietitian for the health department at Richmond, Va. V. B. Coleman is doing research work for the Federal Government in the chemical department in Washington, D. C. Also at Washington are Dorothy O'Rourke, Oliver McCallister and Virginia Qbenchain. They have good jobs as secretaries. Mildred jordan is a hostess for a well known airline. She is engaged to a handsome pilot. Langdon Campbell is a chemical Engineer. He works for an oil company and is trying to find an improved fuel. Mary Ellen Frankland teaches typing at Jefferson High School in Roanoke. Thelka Campbell has been married for a long time'now and she lives in Richmond, Va. St. Clair Miller is a traveling salesman for a well-known tire company. Delmer Trainor doesn't get to travel much though, as he is a farmer. He moved to North Carolina and he raises fine tobacco. Isabel Gibson is married to a wheat-raising farmer in Ohio. Sidney Bouchard and his orchestra comes on every Friday night at ten o'clock over the blue net work. With him are Misses Ruby and Marie Maupin, his vocalists. Mary Carol McCaleb made her debut at Carnegie Hall last year and she is touring the country playing at various cities at the present. james Mauck flies a transcontinental airplane. He is a captain in the reserve officers corps. Adrian Martin plays professional football for the Chicago Bears, They, incidentally, won the national championship the preceding year, I949. Edith Burr's articles appear in various magazines throughout the country. She is a leading novelists. Ileita Gillespie is a model for an important dress shop in New York City. Vina Johnson is with the same company. She designs, dresses. Lavera Forbes and Erma Mills have jobs as saleswomen in cloth- ing stores in Norfolk, Va. Marie Landes is an interior decorator and has been doing line jobs on var- ious estates and homes. Melba Tucker is a hostess on an ocean-going steamer which survived the war. Lola Turner and Helen Lipscomb have gone into the medical service. They are now in large hospitals helping humanity. Evelyn eHenderson is a waitress in a restaurant between Lynchburg and Roanoke. Mildred Hall is a cashier in a large dry-goods store in West Virginia. Ruth Arrington bakes excellent cakes, cookies, pies and other sweets for sale. That is all l can see in my crystal ball about each person so I will do some predicting about the class as a whole. It would seem that each member has met with success and is happy. They have all striven hard to seek their goals and they have not given up.

These girls receive training in various phases of home making. Formerly Home Economics was thought of in terms of cooking and sewing. Today, however, cooking and sewing are but parts of foods and clothing units, which are only two of the many con- nected with home making. House care, home nursing, family relationships, child care, and behaviorism are a few of the topics that are dealt with in Home Economics classes The Home Economics class is for the purpose of giving the pupil information and experience which she may use in her own home. She cannot hope to be able to improve a home, prepare meals or make her clothes if she does not get some practice at home. In school there is neither time nor equipment to give over a hundred girls the needed experience. For this reason each girl who successfully completes a certain amount of work in her home is given extra credit. These home projects are selected by the pupils and supervised by the mothers and the teacher. When there is the proper cofoperation on the part of the pupil, mother and teacher, Home Economics becomes a valuable subject to the girl and to her home. MICK UR MACK H. c.

This course is open to senior high school students who have a keen interest and talent for Art. At the present time the enrollment is 22. Since there is but one art course offered, it is general in character and is based upon an informal classroom plan. Students exchange and share their ideas with one another. At the present time the department is equipped with easels, drawing boards, clay modeling tools, block printing tools, and materials for problems in design, painting, sculpture, pottery, drawing and art appreciation. ' The general aim of this course is to teach the appreciation of those elements of design which underlie the creation of all beautiful man-made things. The special aims include: developing the intellect of the student in the power to imagine or create, developing aesthetic ability of the student to discriminate, either as a producer or consumer, acquiring habits of neatness and accuracy of execution, and the appreciation and understanding of works of art created by ancients, old masters, and contemporary artists.

The general shop is equipped to permit boys to acquire a wide variety of mechanical social and scientific experiences, and while they are acquiring these experiences to absorb considerable knowledge useful in everyday life. General shop instruction is not vocational instruction in the sense that it prepares a student to enter any given vocation. The students who have taken Industrial Arts are able to step into industrial establishments with some knowledge of industrial working conditions and the operations of various power machines. Industrial Arts was instituted in our high school in I935. At that time woodwork, gen- eral metalwork, and mechanical drawing was offered to the students. At the present time the department has expanded and now the following experiences may be received: wood- work, cold metalwork, machine work, foundry, electric arc welding, art metalwork, print- ing and mechanical drawing. Junior high students are now permitted the opportunity of taking the Industrial Arts course. During the years we find that they have become inter- ested in the work to such an extent that a majority of them elect to take the course for sev- eral semesters after going into the senior high school. At the present time the enrollment in the junior high Industrial Arts course is 80, and there are 90 pupils enrolled in the sen- ior high school course. It has been found that general shop instruction creates initiative, imagination, resource- fulness, disposition to study, and has considerable guidance value. It teaches skills, know- ledge and creates desirable attitudes and appreciations, and stimulates creative acti- vities. All of these things have fundamental social and economic values.
