For u e are sure that these have been Our happiest moments vet. We have had our tears and triumphs; By the number, by the score. And now we go into the world Where we ' ll have many more. Our high school career is over. But our life is just begun; W e praise our school with spirits high, ' Cause we had lots of fun. As we go out with memories dear. After pleasures by the score; T o those whom we leave behind. We wish them many more. As seniors now we depart; From our school so dear. Our Alma Mater is about us. And we cannot hide our tears. At last we have come to the end of the way. And our high school life is through. We pray to Cod that we may have A high school in the blue.

If you hear a large group of boys all protesting at the top of their voices that they “don’t want to,’’ and besides they are “too tired anyway,’’ that will probably be the Auditorium Club again. As the name implies, the Auditorium Club was organized to look after the auditorium. It is their job to see that the stage is set not only for assembly, but also when ihe plays and minstrel pro- grams are presented. If you need strong arms or backs to do odd jobs, call on the Audi- torium Club — they will be glad to do the job. 44 DRAMATIC CLUB OFFICERS President Marie Swift Pice-President Secretary) Dicky Ailstock Mary Meade T reasurer Joe McCormick Sponsor , Miss Virginia Wiley Dicky Allstock MEMBERS Mary E.

They a ' so reviewed many plays, which were studied at club meetings. The Dramatic Club has been “busy as a bee,” this year. It has presented several radio skits for the Red Cross membership diive, and other skits which illustrate the help- fulness of the Junior Red Cross in the time of the National Emergency. On Armistice Day the American Eegion sponsored a radio skit, the cast composed of Dramatic Club members. On December 19, 1941, the Club presented, “A Full House.” The proceeds of this were donated to the Red Cross. The Club next presented several skits for the 1942 C. H. S. Minstrel. They also took a one-act play to Charlottesville, which was entered in the annual contest there. • • • 1942 45 PUFFS and PATCHES • • • President lice-Presidenl Secretary T reasurer Sponsor PEP CLUB PearlThomas Mary Katherine Gilbert ...Virginia Shawver Juanita Burch Miss McAllister Lillie M ae Benson Carol Bryant Juanita Burch Om ae Bush Trevis Carpenter Helen Cash Ruth Cook Dorothy Craighead Rachel Eubank Phyllis Fix Vivian Forbes MEMBERS Mary Katherine Gilbert Mildred Hall Goldie Helmintoller Phyllis Humphries Marguerite Johnson Dons LaRue Josephine Lemon Arneta Linton Taunita Plott Mary Frances Rader Grace Rhea Shirley Reyns Juanita Sampson Virginia Shawver June Stone Elaine Swartz Pearl Thomas Mary Thompson Wanda Vest Geraldine Wiseman Louise Wright I he Pep Club provides the school with new yells, and promotes a better cheering section.

They’re even quicker than back fence gossip. “Gee, girls — have I got a trunk full of dirt!’’ Here’s the latest dope on the Class of ’42. The great James Work’s scientific discovery is still unannounced; no one can read his penmanship to find out what it’s all about. Mane Swift, successor to Kate Smith’s laurels, is the most talked about vocalist in the country. She is now singing with Wallace Thacker’s orchestra at the “Jackson Club,’’ which is operated by Sonny Null and owned by Bobby Tigrett. Tickets for private tables can be obtained by contacting Hazel Thomas, Mary Alice Ballengee, or Shirley Bartley. All the other girls are still trying to keep up with “The Lady in Red’’ — Pearl Thomas. Phyll is Riddle IS a nationally known home economist and she can tell you why the bread which is baked by the “wonder baker,’’ James Mays, is better for you than any other kind. Jane Campbell is studying art in New York this year. She just sold a portrait of Charlotte Sexton for a fabulous sum. The war turned out a number of splendid nurses. Some of them are: Mary Lynn Wyatt, Elizabeth Campbell, Lois Poland, and Eleanor Eggles- ton. Frances Smith is head dietitian in the Covington General Hospital. M ane Hepler just finished a mural for the “Swank Hotel’’ which is being built; Mildred Mutespaugh is Marie’s assistant, and their work has become quite the style.

Glenna Long is employed by the same firm and she supplies research material for the commentators. ■■ ■■ ■ ■ - 1 ... . , ■ , a Some of the girls now modeling in New York shops are Ruth Burr, Lena Humphries, Alene Fortune, Tony Rice and Wanda Vest.

Helene Cash is dancing in the chorus of a picture now under production in Hollywood. Connie Knighton is a stenographer for Emory Via who is District At- torney of the great metropolis of Covington. Otey McMilhon, the great financier, who has been spending his summer vacation in Hot Springs, has decided to buy many shares of the Rockefeller Center. Billy Jennings, the famous drugstore cowboy, is still looking for a sucker who will hire him and not expect him to work more than four hours a day. Alice Dawson has settled down to becom.e a contented old maid. The girls still chase Charles Kessinger so much that he has come to the conclusion that the only thing left to do is to become a Mormon.

Dorothy Myers plays the accordion on a radio program every Tuesday morning. Gay Hudson is married now and lives m an ultra-modern house — she has three children. Peggy Armentrout is a dress designer and Mary Earley Wallace models her originals for the Quality Shop. I almost forgot to tell you — in case you haven’t used your television set lately, I took a special course at S. I. A. in Staunton, Virginia. Carmen Bouchard, Class Prophet COMPLIMENTS OF K H COVINGTON DOCTORS CLASS HISTORY DUCATION does not commence with the alphabet; it begins with a ■L-i mother’s look, with a father’s nod of approbation, or a sign of reproof; with a sister’s gentle pressure of the hand, or a brother’s noble act of forbear- ance; with handfuls of flowers in green dells, on hills, and daisy meadows, with birds’ nests admired, but not touched; with creeping ants, and almost imper- ceptible emmets; with humming bees and glass beehives; with pleasant walks in shady lanes, and with thoughts directed in sweet and kindly tones and words to nature, to beauty, to acts of benevolence, to deeds of virtue, and to the source of all good — to God Himself!” Anon. With this thought in mind we review our Freshman year of high school at ‘‘dear old Jeter,” in 1938 as “Rats.” We, of course, were initiated by the upper classmen, and I’m sure every participant remembers this very vividly. The band was also formed in our Freshman year, something of which we are very proud. How could we forget “Mary Had a Little Lamb.” 1939 marked our Sophomore year and our turn to initiate the Freshmen. In March of this year we were transferred to our new school. We were, and still are, proud of this new high school building and its equipment. In 1940 we were Juniors and we looked forward to the Junior pins and the Junior and Senior Prom. The middle of May found us very busy making plans for our Senior guests. After much labor the social affair was a success. At last it is 1941 and our last year in school, but it hasn’t seemed like such a long time. We’ve enjoyed it because we’ve studied and yet had our good times. We had our school parties on Friday nights, but not more than two a month. We also received our treasured class rings as a remembrance of our high school days. These four years have been a grand experience and it all depended on how much you wanted to get an education. Did you work or did you leave it all up to the teacher? We will never have another opportunity like this; a high school education is just what you, as an individual, make it.
