Each student is entering the doorway to his future-a future with boundless possibilities. It is a fortunate circumstance that in our country an in- dividual is privileged to progress to the fullest extent of his talents and his efforts. Limitations are imposed only by lack of ability, unwillingness to strive, low ambition and poor and insufficient training. The training is the job of our schools, the other qualities we bring with us. The product which the school can deliver depends upon the material we bring her and the effort we make in our classes, sports and extra-curricular activities. In the progress which we as individuals hope to make in a land where the horizons are unlimited, our high school train- ing will last through life as a strong foundation to support our future endeavors. With a trained mind, a developed character and a whole- some personality the exit from high school is one more goal attained on that road toward the horizon-the unlimited hori- zon. In Recognition of Her Worth Mrs. Lunger in three of her characteristic school activities. l. Ciounseling a student. 2. Chaperoning a social function. 3. Ts-aching, an linglisli class. Her wise counseling in personal and vocational questions and her sound teaching have helped us untangle many knotty problems of our school life. She has participated wholeheartedly in our activities and, more than anything else, she has a genuine interest in each of us. For these sterling qualities we proudly dedicate the 1949 PUFFS AND PATCHES to Mrs. Genevieve B. Lunger.

Flint Lower--Officers-Hundley, V. Pres., Mrs. Lungerg Mr. Meredith, McKnight, Pres., Lemon, Treas.g Webb, Sec. The student council is the student governing body of Covington High. It is made up of 31 members with proportionate representation from the senior, junior and sophomore classes and one representative from each home room. The council meets each Monday to discuss school problems, to plan activities and assemblies and to take necessary action when rules are broken. The part which the council has in the government of the school makes the students feel that the school really is their responsibility so far as conduct, activities and spirit are concerned. This organization makes possible a government of the students, by the students and for the students. Mrs. Lunger and Mr. Meredith are the faculty sponsors. 34 BETA CLUB Wisdom and learning are good companions. Only juniors and seniors with an average of 90 or above are eligible for member- ship in the Beta Club, which is one of the most honored of our extra-curricular acti- vities. One of their important projects this year was the collection of clothing which was then distributed to needy families. The members are not book worms, browsing all day in some ponderous volume. They are just as active in school activities as any other group of students. They have accepted the principles that a well balanced student maintains high standards both in class and in other school activities. Reliability is a quality which carries over from one activity to another. --5 -.. , First Rom: Newcomb, Trainer, Humphries, Kesner, Burnette, Meador, Wells.

H. S., a true memory book. A book which will picture the class work, the extra-curricular activities, the sports, the humorous and the serious, the off-guard mo- ments which give spice to your school days. It is in reality a history of the year l948-49 at Covington High, and we hope the book will be useful and enjoyable for many years. Our school program is varied but it has one over-all purposefthe betterment of every person who becomes a part of the student body of C. H. S. Perhaps you may, in time to come. better appreciate your school and the benefits you received from her because of the memories which your 1949 yearbook bring to you. CHS THE AN NOUNCER News, news, news, my friends. Here is your newspaper staff--the people who have worked each month to give you the high-lights of school happenings. The who, the what, the when, the where, of people and events at school but not always the why, for who indeed can explain the in- scrutable ways of the modern high school boy and girl. It's pleasant to read and remember -the newspaper account captures the thrill of events and makes them lasting. The numer- ous events of our school days are worthy of record. The news spreads rapidly when a new issue of the Announcer arrives from the printer. There's a rush for home rooms where the papers are distributed. Then comes the hush-the quietest moment of our school days. Everyone is reading the latest school news. l l .

The function of the Tri-Hi-Y Club is to mobilize the efforts of the girls who are trying to make Christian standards of thought and conduct a guide for personal living and for school life as well. They hope that these ideals and standards which the girls foster for themselves and for their school will also be an influence in the community. Among their projects this year, they have worked with the Red Cross, The Veterans Hospital in Roanoke and with the local welfare department.

Our school offers a diversity of extra-curricular activities from which students may choose. This group of boys chose to be useful about the many activities of the auditorium. No group does more to keep things ready and runningf-all without much publicity or praise. SKS SCIENCE CLUB On the trail ol' the atom, et Cetera' It is indeed a scientific age and some of the boys who are keenly aware ol the fact have organized a science club whose purpose is to foster interest in science to get Informa tion on new developments and conduct experiments which, of course, produce discussions and lively arguments. There are no requirements for membership-only an interest in things scientific l, McCauley, Hundley and Franklin showing the action of an acid. 2. Deacon dem- onstrates welding. 3.

DRAMATICS CLUB Suit the action to the word, the word to the action The dramatics club has had a busy year with two one-act plays for assembly pro grams, the junior class play and the Senior class play. The social event ol the year was the masquerade ball which was the first affair of its kind for many high school students Plans are under way for the district one-act play contest in which C. H S will compete Sift DIVERSIFIED OCCUPATIONS Diversified jobs and occupied boys and girls. You've heard of those who have their cake and eat it too. That's what those in D. 0. program seem to do. They attend classes in the morning and work at their various jobs in the afternoon, which means that they have the advantage of school and can earn some money and learn a trade at the same time. Besides you have no idea what a good alibi it is on certain occasions to say, But I have to go to work. l. E. Heintz, E.. Richmond, C. O'Conner, L. jones, P.

Club are fortunate because they have a beautiful and well equipped house in which to carry on their activities. They have projects in preparing and serving foods, in sewing, in furniture refinishing and in home decoration. 40 GIRLS' ACAPPELLA CHORUS AND GLEE CLUB Music is?-among the gifts that C-od hath sent, one of the most magnificent Music at Covington High is an essential part of the regular curriculum hecause il has a spiritual and inspirational power which helps in the development of democratic ideals and in better group understanding. Music can and should he made a more effective part of American life. The different choral groups take part in many church and community activities in addition to their school functions.

No group in our school is more active, contributes more to school life or shows more progress in the art which it cultivates than the music department. We are indebted to that de- partment for the concerts hy out-of-town artists, for the Christmas music by the choral groups and for the spring concerts. Education in the field of music is directed toward developing the personality of the students. and toward fostering a love for all forms of music, particularly vocal music. UPPER: First Rolvf--Reid.

Well, A looks wonder- ful on your report card beside English or Math or Science, and B is not exactly dis- pleasing. It's true that C doesn't bring too much joy when it appears on your report card. But really C is the big letter in our school. C for Covington our Alma Mater -the place we often jestingly call the uprisonu. The place we gripe about while we are there, but really love so dearly and are so very sorry to leave when we finally must. Because we must earn this symbol with hard work ancl our very best efforts we value it exceedingly.

How we love to hear the echo of that song rolling baclc from the hills around our campus. When the cheerleaders go into action for a big game, the student body and the teams are thrilled and inspired to real cooperation. That team spirit in our student body is the secret of our success in athletics and the real directors in that co- ordination are the cheerleaders: Ann Mann, Necla Matheny, Phyllis Flint, Mary Etta Fortune, Betty Hall, Mildred Wilmer, Henry Sartain and Archie Rhoads. l.

' I ,,,G3.., if-rr if Q sew Q, 'T' 'Fx Q11 gs Horizons Unlimited N AT least one respect, an industry-or a company - in our country is similar to an individual. The progress of both is dependent on capability, effort and the extent to which mankind is served. lt was less than 40 years ago that the first rayon plant was built in the United States. 'l'oday, the manufacture of rayon is a major industry, employing many thousands of per- sons and making a notable contribution to- ward a more pleasant and comfortable life for all of us. When rayon was introduced to the field of textiles, it was used primarily in the manu- facture of knil.ted garments for women. 'l'oday, rayon is used in virtually all types of wearing apparel, many household furnishings, and in tires, indust.rial drive belts and conveyors. More uses for this remarkable man-made fibre will be unfolded in the future. For the young citizens of our country, the future holds great promise. The high school graduates who have just marked the end of one and the beginning of a second important milestone in their lives can make of the future whatever their abilities and efforts will per- mit. ,lust as much as in the past, the horizons today are unlimited for the youth ofa free land. To the members of the Senior Class, on this occasion of their graduation, we extend our very best wishes and congratulationsi INDUSTRI L R YO CORPOR TIO ALLEGHANY HARDWARE CO.
