The beauty of our mountains is a fresh inspiration every day. In winter the snow outlines each ridge and valley, in spring the new life in the trees renews ambition. The gorgeous, flaming colors of autumn hold us spellbound with their sheer beauty. 1 he strength of the rock-ribbed hills makes us feel the power of nature and renews our faith in the divine. Tor all that man has learned, for all his progress and development, it is well that he remem- ber a power greater than himself. 1 he mountains take our eyes upward, they teach us to look far and help us to enlarge our outlook. Tortl Byron said, I live not in myself, but I become portion of that around me . . . ”. There is strength, inspiration and power in the majesty of the hills. I D[DICATIOI “And gladly would he learn and gladly teach” was no more true of Chaucer’s famous schoolmaster than it is of Miss Heij ' .x Thomas. Her own zeal in the pursuit of learning, her patient, kindly iit- struction, and her tireless efforts to make our school days both profit and pleasure have won our admi- ration and our respect. She has taught us English and shown us the good life. W’e are proud to dedicate the 1947 Pl’M ' s an ' d Pa rein s to AIiss I Ikt.fx 1 ' homas. TJ smoAumL In memory of Dr. William Preston Burton, a tried and true friend of Covington High School. His unselfish service and kindly spirit will always be remembered with gratitude and deep affection. “ VlTat a goodly prospect spreads around, Of hills, and dales, and woods, and lawns, and spires.

Ascend our rocky mountains. Let the foot Fail not with weariness, for on their tops The beauty and the majesty of earth, Spread wide beneath, shall make thee to forget The steep and toilsome way.” —Bryant, Monument Mountain I lave you ever stopped for a (]uiet nioiiienr to think how school life resembles a mountain- As the sophomore comes to school, there lies ahead of him a mountain. On its paths he will experience many of the happiest events of his life, but, nevertheless, it is a mountain, and like all mountains, its ascent is steep and its paths rough. At the end of his first year in the new school, the sophomore feels that he has made great progress. 1 le has climbed the first lap of the trail, has become accustomed to new surround- ings, new friends, new tasks; he is one-third of the loner way up the mountain. Resting at the end of the junior year, the student begins to think about his plans for the future. I le can see a little of the world around him, can recognize some of the obstacles that he will experience. Above lies the hardest, yet the most enjoyable part of the climb, and as the scholar ascends, more and more of the world around becomes visible. Then at last, the loose rocks and rough paths forgotten, the senior stands on the very peak and ahead are all the hopes and goals of the future.

The pleasure which the students seem to get from the yearbook is the reward which the annual staff looks forward to most eagerly. It makes us feel that we have done a great deal for our fellow students as well as for ourselves. It takes hard work to produce a good annual, and each member of the staff feels that he has had a significant part in making the annual worth while. Annuals are not ilull books to be put away on the shelf and never disturbed thereafter, like a math or chemistry book. I ' liis yearbook holds the mem- ories of high school ilays, which mean so much to us now ' and which w ' ill continue to be valued in years to come. Each year the annual staff tries to do a better job than the preceding staff has done, so that our Puffs and P.vroiFs w ill continue to be a highlight in our high school year. d 42 1- THE AMDIIIVCER STAFF r Tee, Woodson, .Mrs. Wilson, Mdlliams, M eaver PUFFS ANl£)PATCHK FOfeiSEVEN ' For fifteen years the Amioimcer has been the voice of Covington High School.

The collars and ties, the shined shoes and general dressed-up grooming required for their appearance on the stage are all a necessary part though disliked part of their activity. When they sing, you know they are proud of their school and the school is proud of them. The spring season is the clima.x of the year’s efforts, becau.se the boys are responsible for a part of the annual spring concert given by the music department.

When you first enter, the group, with their hands clasped behind their heads, is singing the scales and arpeggitts. On might think the hoys are warming up for a ho.xing match, when they practice their “ha ' -hoes”. Later you wonder if you hayen’t walked in on the kindergarten, when you see the girls sint ing w ith a thumh or two fingers in their mouths. This may .seem yery unneces.saiy and a little foolish to those who aren’t members of the mixed chorus, hut it is really the foundation upon which the fine cpialitv ' of their singing is ha.sed, 1 here are approximately seyenty hoys and girls in the mixed chorus this year. This group is fortunate to haye as their yery capable and energetic director, .Mrs. R. K. h ' leshman. Last fall the group worked arduouslv ' for the Christmas concert w ' hich they pre.sentcd in cooperation with the Dramatic Club and the other school musical organizations. Then they began work for the annual spring- concert. A selected group from this class went to the District Festiyal in the spring and also sang in the minstrel chorus at the Idigh School. We are proud of this hard-working group of students, who haye won a name for them.selvcs in the community and in the state. HIGH C. H. Ji.

Their ages range from nineteen to twenty-three. Reports from members of the faculty are most gratifving in regard to the scholastic record of the C. I.s, the majority of whom are making A’s and B’s. Because of their extensive travels and the xarietv of their war experi- ences and assignments, they are in a position to offer interesting supple- mentary information to class discussions, the social sciences in particular. Probably the most valuable lesson these men have learned is the importance of an education. Certainly their greatest contribution to the student body at C. H. S. is the seriousness and diligence with which thc ’ pursue their work. First AVv-u;— Terrv, Woodson, Arrington, Hanks, Watts, O’Rourke, Tucker, Air.

I he Quarterbackers are primarily interested in clean, wholesome high school football. During the grid season the ' held weekly .Monday morning (juarterback sessions in the auditorium, discussed the last game and laid strategy for the next encounter. In the fall of 1946 the club spearheaded the mote to name the athletic grounds “burton Field” in memory of Dr. W. F. Burton. At the close of the season the club gave the football squad, the Jayyees and the coaching staffs a bam|uct. Fach year the Quarterbackers help sell season tickets and collect money at the gate. The organization has helped obtain bleachers and has investigated the possibility ' of obtaining lights for the athletic held. I ' he first prcsitlent, and one of the leaders in organizing the club, was jack Fersinger. Other presidents have been Dr. V. F. Burton, Bob West, Nesbit, Frank Kinzer and F. C. W ' hitlock. “In the mountains of truth, you never climb in vain.

Chris may earn the right to the high school monogram hv par- ticipating in their major sport, l)askerhall, or by serving as one of the cheerleaders. Altltough the group has been organized only two years, it has been a major aim of the clul) to encourage more girls to participate in the athletic program and to dexelop loyal and enthusiastic support for their school activities, particularly sports. Because of a full-time instructor in girls’ physical education, their interest in sports and games is more in keeping with the enthusiasm among the ho cs.

S., among the extra- curricular activities at school sports do hold a high place. It is the aim of the administration, the coaching staff and the students, t(j keep sports on a high level, d ' he monogram club is made up of boys who have earned the coveted “C” in any of the boys’ sports. The wearing of the “C” is a goal sought after by all boys, and the privilege is valued greatly. The purpose of the club is to foster scIkjoI spirit, to encourage boys to engage in sports, and to maintain high standards of sportsmanship in competition and in intramural contests. hront Sexton, R.

At the beginning of the year eight girls were chosen by the student body from a number of candidates who had prac- ticed for cheerleaders. I his year the cheering squad w as inspired by the enthusiastic leadership of these cheerleaders who kept spirits high w hether we were w’inning or losing. C. H. S. has never had a more cooperative group or one which put more time and spirit into the effort to unite the student body into a real cheering unit. The spirit of the cheerleaders was as much a part of the successful athletic .seasons at C. IT. S. as the hard vvork and fighting spirit of the teams themselves. Our teams and the entire school truly appreciate their loyalty and devotion. i 62 y FOOTBALL SDMO Early in September, C. H. S. gridiron candidates started through their paces under the direction of a well-known figure at the high school. He was “B(K)die” Albert, coach of Covington’s 1942 State Chanipif)nship squad, and l)ack at the high school after service in the Navy. Composed largely of veterans of both the armed forces and previous foot- ball seasons, the (mugars boastetl a line axcraging nearly 200 pounds per man, and a backheld that soon found it could out-gun nearly anything in its class. “lioodie” soon proved that he had not lost the knack of producing cham- pionship football teams, for the heavy and fast Cougars began defeating i)y high sccjres its previously-feared opponents. For a while it looked as if the Cougars might go the season undefeated, but Handley High of Win- chester destroyed such hopes by downing the Cougars 21 to 14 with a dashing pass offensive. d his defeat did not, however, knock the Cougars out of the conference race, and by District Committee verdict they met Tazewell High School on the home field for the Half State Championship. A tough battle ensued, but the Cougars came out on top 19 to 6. Ehus C. H. S. produced another championship gridiron team. First Long, A ' orlcy, 4)lfc, R.

They made up the Girls’ Basketball team and are rightfully proud of it. Since basket- ball is the only sport in w hich our girls mav ' compete with other .schools, it is the one to which most of the girls give their greatest interest. Of the thirty who turned our w ith high hopes of making the squad, Ali.ss Simmons selected the thirteen most .skilful and mo.st promisino. These yirls chose Margaret Sexton and Bert ' Devers as their co-captains. jean W’ilmer, Doris Knick, and .Marie Plymale were chosen for the positions of managers, jobs on which much of the success of the team re.sts. Jean was .selected to act as official scorckeeper, Doris was to keep time at all games, and .Marie was placed in charge of all equipment. Whrh such necessary preparations carefully made, the team settled down to regular practice. 1 his hard work paid off, for the girls played their way through a very successful season and are now making plans for a star team next season.

H. S. as not yet over, but the Cougar quint was well on the way to Conference leadership. “Boodie” Albert, after turning our a good football team, was trying his band at basketball. He bad quite a bit of experienced material to work with and when the season opened, be bad a team that operated with precision teamwork. The Cougars’ luck at the beginning of the season, however, was not so good, rhey were toppled by two conference opponents and two other teams before they recovered from their slmnp to chalk up one win after another.

We will fight for the ideals and sacred things of the city, both alone and with many. We will revere and obey the city’s laws and do onr best to incite a like respect and reverence in those about ns who are prone to annul or set them at naught. We will strive increasingly to quicken the public’s sense of civic duty; and thus in all these ways, we transmit this city not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.” |)erhaps more than in all the years since ancient Athens, there is a crying need for the courage of young minds . . . ready and willing to help in civic a Hairs ... so that better cities can make better nations . . . and better nations a decent and just world. We are confident that the graduates of this school “will transmit this city . . . better and more heantifid” than it was transmitted to them. To each, we extend our congratulations and best wishes.
