Each of these is different, but each is here for a com- mon purpose — to gain more knowledge. Yes, We are all different, but we are bound together by a a tie — a tie which represents not only perseverance, disappoint- ment, and failure, but also pleasure, opportunity, and triumph — - our Alma Mater. The scenes and faces which you associate with your school song will grow dim, but you will never forget its lovely, moving words. lY e have tried, by fashioning the pages of this book preserve a few of these familiarities. So, using our school song as the theme, we present to you the 1946 Puffs and Patches. Dedication “5econJ Jwme to all thy children, where they joy to he. Y es, our Alma Mater is a second home to us, and Tve joy to be here — but why? Isn ' t one reason, that someone is always ready to listen to our problems, and give us that needed lift? Isn ' t it because we have friends here who will cry with us or laugh with us when we are in those moods? Mrs. Kathleen Cover is one of these such friends. Because she is genuinely interested in each one of us, she listens to our small perplexities, as well as our problems, giving us that needed bit of advice. Her smile, that little pug nose, the way she criidfles up her eyes when she laughs, that encouraging little winlf, all add to her vivacious personality. For all these, and many other things we are happy and proud to dedicate to her this 1946 Puffs and Patches. c d ! r : ! y ■- ' V -Xif _. . z: ' 1 ' , jLy Contents i ; I, BOOK I ADMINISTRATION BOOK II CLASSES BOOK III ACTIVITIES BOOK IV ATHLETICS BOOK V FEATURES BOOK VI ADVERTISEMENTS ■-T X 0 y - tjoJ J7 Guarded by encifclinglnouttiamyr A Dedtitiful and blue. , Sinnds out noble Alma Maier : ious to leiiK - 7 r - ' L ' y- ‘ ' y y; ,Ti Book One ADMINISTRATION Superintendail MR.

AUDITORIUM THREE FORTY-FIVE CLASSES r — THE SOPHOMORE CLASS uiJy -4o y We have come from town and country, hill and valley, to add our voices to the swell- ing chorus of our Alma Mater. A r difficult at first; hard to become ! adjusted to different rules, new classmates and teachers; troublesome to learn to open lockers .J. Z - 4 t nA to remember which steps to use. The Initiation Day which had seemed so formid- able turned out to be only a time of good- natured teasing, and humorous pranks. We were a little surprised that the dignified juniors would condescend to pester us and a little startled to find that they knew so much i about so many of US. After initiation, when we had chosen our class officers, we began to feel that we were really a part of the school. Schoolmates and teachers became old friends; our lockers were no longer fiendish contraptions designed to make us late to class; we found that there ' a good reason for each of the many rules. We know our school now, and love it. We are a part of it. Now, we sing w ' lth XJ{ I assurance : “Second home to all thy children Where they long to be.” The 1946 PUFFS b PATCHES SOPHOMORE OFFICERS President Secrelar]) Sonny Craft Betty Alexander Vice-President T reasurer Jack Caldwell Bobby Reyns Sponsors Miss Simmons Miss Mahaney Mrs. Rose Mrs. Clarke Mrs. Smith First Ron).

We often sing Its praises. Each time it means a little more to us; we are more thrilled by its majesty. We felt its dignity more than ever before when we first walked down the aisle as Seniors. Before, we were a little timid, but now we sing m full voice: “Lift the chorus speed it onward, ne’er let praises fail . . .” The 1946 PUFFS PATCHES SENIOR OFFICERS President Betty Jane Hundley Secrelarv Mary Hooks T reasurer Janet Link Sponsors Miss ' I ' homas Mrs. Gee Mr. Barnwell Hundley, Mr. Barnwell, Hooks, Link, Miss Thomas, Mrs. Gee 27 COVINGTON HIGH SCHOOL Freeman Agnor Calm, Dignified Betty Akers Lorv, Sultry-Voiced Blonde Billie Angus Quiet, Unassuming, Efficient V Jessie Baker Self-Possessed Gloria Ballengee Post Graduate Betty Bartley Lusty, Generous Billy Beazley Diligent, Persevering, Economical i IVa - Marjorie Blake J Bright-Eyed Pixie Bouc HARD lefxr ah , t)ignffiej 1-C ' ' • E.

All members are elected by popular vote in a spring election before the next school year. Class presidents are ex-officio members. The council meets at lunch period every Monday to discuss school problems. Meet- ings are open to students who wish to register complaints or requests. At all times, the council is under the supervision of Mrs. Lunger, Mr. Heretick and Mr. Curfman. This organization makes possible a government “of the students, by the students, and for the students.” Standing — Lotts, Caldwell, Comer, Brackens, Mrs. Lunger, Woodson, Mr. Heretick, Withrow, Lunger, McAllister Seated — Hundley, Craft, Sexton, Hutchens .“tS The 1946 PUFFS PATCHES BETA CLUB ' ■ y “The National Beta Club is an organization of high school students of good mentality and character, creditable achievement, and commendable attitudes. Membership therein signifies that the student has been designated because of outstanding attainment and promise.” Many people believe that the Beta Club is on’y a scholastic organization. It is true that one must ha e an average of 90 to be eligible, but many other things are taken into consideration before one is asked to join. Each candidate’s name is brought before the club, he is discussed, and if he receives the unanimous vote of the club, he is asked to join. The club has as its projects, things that are of interest to the students, and are a helpful contribution to the school and the community. The officers of the club are: Jack Carson, Janet L.mk, Betty Jane Hundley, and Mary Hooks. Sealed — Comer, Beazley, Hooks First Row — Lynn, Terry, Miller, Matheny, Nickell, Link, Hundley, Paulus, Bush Second Row — Lolls, Metz, Lunger, Huddleston, Pitman, Carson, Echols, Salyers COVINGTON HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS ' Hl-Y “Don ' t forget the Girls’ Hi-Y meeting this afternoon.” With so many earnest reminders and a very real interest in the activities of our club, it’s almost impossible to forget a meeting. The program of this active group begins, each year, with a picturesque candle-light installation service. Each girl, dressed in white, is given a lighted candle to hold while she repeats the vow: “To create, maintain and extend, throughout the school and com- munity, high standards of Christian character.” Under the guidance of Mrs. Clarke and Mrs. Lautares and the leadership of the officers — Betty Jean Hundley, Mary Hooks, Nancy Clarke, and Lucia Hudson, the girls choose and accomplish a project for each month. They attended the Thanksgiving service, and gave their annual dance. They sponsored a Lee-Jackson program, for which the speaker was Judge Lindsey Almond of Roanoke. For National Brotherhood Week, they gave a skit in assembly and also invited the Negro Hi-Y to one of their meetings. Later m the year they expect to give a tea for their mothers and give a banquet for their members who are seniors.

Mr. Barnwell, the sponsor, together with the officers, have in mind interesting projects for the club. It is quite possible for them to become a dominant force for good in school life.

Each year the staff tries to preserve for you the high lights of the school year. It strives to picture for you m word or photograph the fun, the excitement, the charm and the happiness of companionships, of the session. It is a very real task to fashion for you some- thing that IS new in format and alive in word and scene.

Rushing madly for the locker room, the girls race with time to get dressed. Suddenly a late-comer dashes m. “Where’s my other shoe?” she calls anxiously. “Is that it under the shower?” The shoe, dripping wet, is rescued. A cry of horror, tinged with a feeling of self-pity, emanates from the quivering lips of the girl. “Will someone please lend me a shoe?” she pleads. Finally dressed, these girls compete in basketball and volleyball tournaments, which have created in them an emulous and sportful attitude. These girls have our best wishes as they inevitably become stronger and more alert. Not only do girls have fun, but under the capable leadership of Miss Simmons, they sponsor a carnival each year, where welcome and hospitality is extended to all. First Roiv—}.

The Boys’ Sport Club is playing football. That must have been a touchdown!” From what I hear, the two teams seem to be well matched. Only today I overheard one boy whisper to the other, “You must take the ball and dig through the middle. We’ve just got to make a touchdown today.” These boys are certainly having fun under the leadership of Mr. Lautares, who is promoting sportsmanship and good will among them. They not only play football, but they learn the fundamentals of all sports.

One need not be especially talented to be eligible for the club. If you enjoy nixing paint, trying to put on paper the color or shape of an object; if the odor of paint, turpentine and oil is pleasant to you; if your pencil just naturally takes to sketching — you have it — that is you ha ’e the requirement for membership m the Art Club. There are sixteen members this year. They have made posters for bond drives, the bookmobile campaign, and football games. The bulletin board m Room 206 usually has a picture or two fiom some member of the club.

Yes, of course you’ve heard of it, but probably you’ve never quite understood the purpose of it. Each time an assembly program is given, those boys who have charge of preparing the auditorium are always ready. Did you know that anyone who pulls curtains, adjusts lights or serves as a stage hand must be alert, exact and efficient? These boys also have charge of operating the projector whenever we have visual education m the auditorium. Our new projector is an intricate mechanism and must be handled carefully. Bill Worsham, leader, has done an excellent piece of work and we are most grateful to him. These are only a few of the many tasks performed by members of this clu ' j. So, because of their willingness to do these tasks well, let’ s give these boys a big hand.

Here are your atom-smashers and moon-contactors of the future. 1 he club, affiliated with the Science Clubs of America, and with the Virginia Junior Academy of Science, has taken in ten new sophomore members, making a total of twenty- five. Each one ol these boys has a great interest in some phase of scientific endeavor. Sonny Pitman, the president, has done outstanding work, as have Bennett Harless, vice-president, Billy Scott, secretary, and Bobby Huddleston, treasurer. Essays have been written; exhibits have been set up; experiments have been conducted and discussed by in- dividual members for the benefit of the club.

It certainly does smell good.” The delightful aroma comes from the smartly decorated Home Economics kitchen, on Wednesday afternoons, when the Home Economics Club meets. There is usually something buzzing there. Cook- ing, etiquette, and sewing are their mam pastimes. The games, parties, projects, and other activities m which they participate are under the supervision of Mrs. Gee. The purpose of the club is to supply adequate information and entertainment for its members.

GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB But , I love to spend mV time in singing Some jovous song,” . . . — from the Italian There are fifty of us who practice on Tuesdays after school, Mrs. Fleshman direct- ing and Lydia McAllister accompanying. We have worked hard this year, but have enjoyed every minute of it. It is our belief that we are not only improving ourselves, but are making a worthwhile contribution to our school. The selections, “My bdero,’’ “Patapan,” and “Nativity Carol,” were sung on the Christmas program. Since examinations, we have been working on songs for the minstrel and making plans to attend and participate in the Music Festival at Bedford on March 23. We love to spend our time singing!

Whence comes that rumbling bass, that trilling tenor? In yon music room, Mrs. Fleshman, with Lydia McAllister as pianist, is putting her thirty-fi e “Sinatras” through their musical paces. This practice has done wonders, for th e Christmas program, the boys’ numbers, “Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly,” “Stout Hearted Men,” and “The First Noel,” were excellent. These boys have big plans for the minstrel and for the Music Festival at Bedford on M arch 23. Of course, this means much more work, but they have a very real interest in singing and enjoy the practices. Keep an eye on them — they’ll be even better! COVINGTON HIGH SCHOOL C. H. S.

Each of these people has been selected for vocal ability and musical interest. Since this chorus and the others have been formed, music has become one of the main activities of the school. The students have begun to appreciate fine music and are really developing an ear for it. Now, the group is working hard toward two really big events — our minstrel — and the Music Festival at Bedford! First Row — J.

Because most of those who won letters last spring graduated, we are only four in number, but at the end of basketball season this year our number should increase. Although membership is entirely voluntary, it is open only to those girls who have been awarded a “C” by the Athletic Association. The boys have already established themselves, but just give us a little time and we will be even more valuable to our school than they. Each of us will do her bit to add to the glory of our Alma Mater” which has done so much for us. Schuder, Miss Simmons, Alexander, Eggleston, Smith 50 The 1946 PUFFS PATCHES BOYS ' MONOGRAM CLUB Before one may become a member of this club, he must be awarded a “C” for participating in any of the major sports. Because these boys have a very real interest in their organization, they strive to make it the club of the school. They are eager to sell tickets, promote community drives in the school as well as participate in athletic activities. The highlight of their year is the exciting and most profitable “Queen Contest” which culminates in the ever popular Mono- gram Dance after the Clifton game. Promoting interest m athletics and developing a sportsman-like attitude are two of their aims. They have made themselves an important part of school life and have won for their club the reputation of being dependable and efficient. COVINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CHEERLEADERS “Lift the chorus, speed it onward, ne’er let praises fail. . . How often we do g the praises of our school under the excellent leadership of Gloria Ballengee, Helen McCormick, Nancy Meeks, Charlotte Goad, Helen Trimble and Jean Wilmer — our cheerleaders. Each Thursday during football season, we practiced singing and yelling so that we would be proficient on Fridays at the games. The cheerleaders accompanied the team to all out-of-town games. Since gas rationing was over there was always an excellent crowd at these games to help cheer the team to the goal. Their spirit and enthusiasm was caught by the crowds at the basketball games, too. Yes, this year the student body was with them and our teams greatly appreciate their lovalty and devotion. Ballengee, McCormick, Meeks. Goad, fumble, J. Wilmer 5S The 1946 PUFFS PATCHES FOOTBALL SQUAD Football is the most popular sport in the school. Each year it seems to attract more spectators from the town and surrounding communities, as well as students. For the past few years the team has suffered because of the drafting of eighteen-year- olds as well as the set hack caused by the loss of the previous year’s graduates. This year was a very successful one, losing only two games out of nine. The big disappointment of the year came when we tied Suffolk for the half-state championship. The two big moments came when we defeated Harrisonburg and Clifton Forge. Yes, we’ve got the “Fittle Brown Jug” in our trophy case now, and the boys say that they I • ' ' , ■ ■ ■ j .

I heir interest in it is shown by the way they faithfully turn out for practice, and adhere to their training regulations. It IS not always fair to judge a team by the number of games won or lost. Only the girls themselves know when they have had a good or a poor season. They know whether or not they have j layed the game according to the rules of good sportsmanship and whether or not they are proud to have represented the school on the court. The student body is more than proud of its team and feels that it has contributed to the glory and well-being of the school. First Ron ) — I homsen, Shifflell, Schuder. Smitlj.

It develops a sense of fair play and sportsmanship. The boys learn to play. not for personal glory, but for the honor of the team. Although some people do not realize it, basketball requires quick thinking, precision timing and lightning footwork. Therefore, it should be just as important a sport as football. It is gradually gaining on its rival, and someday may even be more popular. a f j j % P Swiizer, Swarlz Caldwell, Lemon, Mr. Lautares, Saunders, Ergenbright, Jamison HI COVINGTON HIGH SCHOOL SALLY The small group of cars came ceremoniously to a smooth stop. The doctor got solemnly out of the first car. Father, proud and chuckling helped his beautiful smiling wife out of their new 1933 Dodge. Next in regal splendor came the stiff white nurse carrying a little pink bundle as I stood, on tip toes, staring with wide toothless-mouthed awe into the red face of what, they told me, was my new sister. How could I suspect that one day the dear little helpless creature would grow into the stringy hair, gawky legs and freck- led nose that make up Sally? Sally IS entering the awkward stage — at least, I hope it’s just a stage. H eaven’s cursed us if it’s not. Her clothes fit her like a gunny sack, her skinny arms hang out of too short sleeves and her plain brown hair simply droops over her ears. She always looks like an immigrant fresh off the Gnpsholm except every now and then when I scrimp a dollar or two out of my allowance to buy her something like a pair of colorful suspenders to hold up her sagging skirts. Sally, I keep telling Mother, is entirely lacking in tact. The other day the phone rang and Sally yelled up, “Lyd-e-e-a! There’s a boy on the phone for you ! “Please tell him I’m indisposed and for him to call later.’’ So she relayed my message with “Lydia’s taking a bath and can’t come right now.’’ But what Sally lacks m tact, she makes up for in imagination. She and a few select friends live in a world all their own consisting of a gallant steed that more closely resembles a big rag donkey and a few beautiful paper doll princesses. I only get a glimpse of that exclusive Utopia once in a while when, on the way to the linen closet. I’ll stumble over an up-turned chair that’s really the Black Dragon’s hide-out, but I can hear the daily installments of a domestic tragedy any time I’m studying for a six weeks test. Sally IS a good business-woman. She works hard making her bed and keeping her room clean to buy her Story Book Dolls and she guards that money as a lioness watches over her young. Any time I need a nickle, I have to sign all sorts of I. O. U.’s and interest rate promises and receipts. Her red tape is enough to discourage any chronic borrower. In spite of all her blacksheep qualities. I’ve got to admit that she’s an awfully sweet sister and some day, she’s going to run her older sisters a hard race. — Lydia McAllister ti2 The 1946 PUFFS PATCHES FEATURES - O . .y - A . ■ ■ ' . • ' X • r I ' y ■ . Never perturbed, BETTY JANE HUNDLEY has a way of staying busy herself and also of keeping others busy. This popular member of the student body, through her willingness to work, her genial man- ner, her good judgment, as well as her good humor, has contributed much to the life of C. H. S. High ideals, hard work, and dis- criminating tastes characterize JACK CARSON. His agreeable disposition and his bright smile win for him many friends and help him attain the goal he has set for himself.

When you say she’s capable, it’s true for she sings beautifully, she speaks effectively, and she writes with a professional touch. More than that her school work has been very commendable, and ber record in basketball enviable. A charming per- sonality, a pleasant voice and a win- ning smile, in addition to a coopera- tive spirit in school work and in play make JOYCE EGGLESTON a delightful person to know. 1 PUFFS AND PATCHES FROM HERE AND THERE September 4-5 — What do you know about that!
