Because he has indelibly influenced for good the character, personality and intel- lectual development of the young people of Covington, and because the entire com- munity recognizes with gratitude that it is immeasurably richer for the 25 years he has devoted to service here, the alumni and students of Covington High School dedicate this 25th anniversary issue of PUFFS AND PATCHES to Walter R. Curfman. We do so as an expression of our admiration for his rich and challenging mind, respect for his high standards of scholarship and conduct, appreciation for the interest he has in us and in our community, and af- fection for him as a sincere friend. lnstructions from the Captain A message to the students. The principal grin at C. H C as t its .yr is Q GQMZSSQQZ . . . Twenty-five years ago it was my good fortune to come to Covington. During these years it has been my privilege to become acquainted with many of the best people in the world-the people of Covington and Alleghany Coun- ty. Through this brf message I want to express to them my deepest gratitude for their excellent cooperation and sympathetic understanding which have helped to make these years so pleasant. Frequently I take the annuals of former years from the shelf and renew my contacts with graduates and former pupils. I have not forgotten you and I am interested in you and your welfare. Your excellent support during this quarter-century has been a source of comfort to me. To present and former superintendents, to all present and former board members, to all present and former faculty members, thanks a million for your support and loyalty through the years. You who are in school now are urged to remember that you are preparing yourselves for effective citizenship in the great new world of today and to- morrow. The A bomb and the proposed H bomb make world-wide under- standing and cooperation absolutely imperative unless the human race is to destroy itself. It will be your task to help promote understanding and coopera- tion among all the peoples of the world in order to make and preserve peace. This is a staggering challenge, but by hard work and diligent application you can learn to meet and conquer the great responsibilities confronting you. I believe in you and have faith enough in you to know that you will do your part to make the world a better place for yourself and for future generations to live in peace, contentment, and security. Here's wishing you the best of luck. K4 b ' Q,f QAM ,X if Q f0 J fQ.wfla,. 8 Lfm fiiQii7lffQgfK?X.m ffm X72 limi KWWQQGW .lfwwfifgffwgw L64 D-0-JL QfsiSw...,.

The entire student body of Covington High School was housed twen- ty-live years ago in the old, white, brick building on the corner of Locust and Court Streets. This building, now known as the School Administration Building, was built in l9l l. R. Cos- ten was principal. Because of increased enrollment, it was soon necessary to hold some classes in a wing of the Jeter Graded School across the street. On April l l, l939, ground was broken for the present high school building. The Masons conducted the ceremony of laying the corner stone May 30, l939. In March l940, the senior high school, grades 9, l0, ll, moved into the present building. The building on the school campus, at the back of the high school, was remodel- ed and converted into a cottage for the home economics department in I947. W. R. Curfman was assistant principal of Covington High School and Jeter Graded School from l925 to May l929. He became principal of Covington High School in September l929, and remained in that position until 1938, when he became again the principal of both the high school and the graded school. In l940, when the new high school building was completed, Mr. Curfman moved to the new building as the principal of the Covington Senior High School-the position which he now holds. There were ten members of the first graduating class in l898. The l925 class had 33 grad- uates, while in 1949 there were l4l graduates. The smallest class of the 'last twenty-live years was 23 in I928g the largest class was in l943 with I44. The first graduating class with more than one hundred was in l938 with l24. During these twenty-five years 743 boys and l IO6 girls have been graduated from Covington High School. From this total of 1849 graduates, 341 or approximately l3fAr have gone to college. Of the l925 class, 7392 went to college, while only IOQQX of the I943 graduates went on to college. There were ZI I in the four years of high school in 1925, while in I949 the final enrollment was 549. The enrollment dropped during the World War II years as low as 348 in l944. In l925 there was a faculty of 9g in l950 the faculty numbers 32. The school superintendents since l925 have been G. Jeter, S. T. Godbey, A. L. Bennett, M. L. Carper, and W. R. Beazley. Twenty-five years ago I9 units were required for graduation, with a general average of 85. Four units of a foreign language, two units of algebra, and one unit of plane geometry were re- quired for a diploma. F or a while pupils who took the commercial courses were required to take them in addition to the required minimum of I9 units. There were very few electives, and the cur- riculum offering was designed primarily for college preparatory students. In September l929, the number of units required for graduation was reduced to 18g in September l930, to I7g and in September I933, to I6 with the foreign language requirement removed and the general average lowered from 85 to 75. It was formerly the practice to give the same type of diploma to all graduates, but in l943, the present plan of offering College Preparatory, Commercial, General, and Twelfth-grade diplomas was introduced. Covington High School has always been interested in extra-curricular activities. In the old days clubs met after school, but about fifteen years ago the activities period was incorporated into the daily schedule. Formerly each pupil was required to belong to a club, but club membership was put on a voluntary basis in l94l.

U -is HISTORY or COVINGTON HIGi'I scrioor. 1925- 1950 Sports have had an important place in Covington High School for many years. Guy Rice, who was the athletic coach from l926 to l930, did much to promote sports in the high school and in the community. Since l930, the coaches have been W. l... Rose, Dick Bryant. Doggie Douthat, Shelburn Carmack, Bob Doyle, Carl Wise, Maynard Sifford, and George Lauteres. Boodie Albert, who has been head coach since I946, has a record which speaks for itself. ln l942, Boodie and Carl Wise coached the high school team through an undefeated season cul- minating with the state championship won at Martinsville in November, l942. Besides the state championship, the Cougars were half-state champions in l937, and l946g half-state co-champions in I94-53 and champions of District V in I936. and I947. C. H. S. has the keenest rivalry with Clifton Forge from whom Covington won only three times from l925 to l94l. ln l942, the jinx was shaken and the Cougars have defeated the Mountaineers each year since, except for a 6 to 0 upset in I944. A tradition of long standing with the two schools is the possession of the little brown jug. The winning football team has possession of the jug until the other team defeats them. The football field was lighted in l948, and all home games since have been played at night except the 1949 'Thanksgiving game with Highland Springs. C. l-l. S. has won some honors in the literary field as well as in sports. The yearbook, PUFFS AND PATCHES, won the Virginia Reel Trophy in the State Literary and Athletic league in l925. The l948 issue of PUFFS AND PATCHES was an all-round winner: a first place in state competition, a first place from Columbia Scholastic Press, New York City, and finally won the trophy as the best annual in its class from the Southern lnterscholastic Press Association. One of the early literary efforts was a magazine called the Messenger, which was followed by a news- paper, the Cohisco Outburstf' and still later by the Announcer, which was last published in June, l949. The Announcer won a first place award from Quill and Scroll in 1936, and a first place from Southern lnterscholastic Press in 193 7. School rules and regulations have changed considerably during a quarter-century. ln l925, it was against the rules for a boy to walk to and from school with a girl. At the old high school building girls were required to enter and leave by the Locust Street door and the boys were re- quired to use the Court Street door. Pupils at Jeter Graded School had to remain outside the building until about five minutes before opening time, when a warning bell rang. Then home room teachers lined their pupils up and marched them into the building to the strains of Stars and Stripes Forever played on a phonograph. White lines were painted the length of the halls to mark off marching lanes and the child who got out of his lane was a serious offender. One year school of- ficials decided to use a drum corps instead of the phonograph. The problem was to find some one to organize and instruct the drummers. There was a boy in the senior class who was more than twenty-one years old, and according to law was required to pay tuition. He was a good drummer so the superintendent solved the problem by giving him his tuition in return for his drumming serv- ices. A classmate remarked, Some boys work their way through college, but this boy beats his way through high school. , as I N N 1 1 f 1 STUDENT COUNCIL Democracy is direct self-government, over all the people, by all the people, for all the people.

Hawkins, Ferris, Wright, Roach, Hawkins, Deacon, Mongole. Fourth Rom: Anderson, Burnetle, Lunger, Fenderson, Taylor, Lemon, Perdue, Hundley, Keith, Mr. Garber. The S. C. A. is the central government of C. H. S. In the spring five seniors and four juniors are elected to serve the following year. In the fall three sophomores and a representative from each home room is chosen. This makes up the entire student council for the year. Under this setup the student body has the nearest thing to self-government that it is possible to have. The council makes the regulations and sees that they are carried out. It also has general direction of the school activities. One of the main duties of the Student Council is to control the traffic laws and cafeteria lines. The council also has charge of the as- sembly programs to which most students look forward. The officers for the Student Coun- cil are as follows: Frank Hunclley, President: Gene Long, Vice-President, Phyllis Ents- minger, Secretaryg and Jimmy Lunger, Treasurer. 40 PUFFS AND PATCHES Carrier of news and knowledge, promoter of friendship and good will.

This first attempt at the big time was a success as it won first place in the state competition for high school annuals. Since 1924 PUFFS AND PATCHES has been an important part of C. H. S. In every issue published these 25 years, the staffs have given their best in order to make an annual the students would be as proud of as they are of C. H. S. itself. Last year, Purrs AND PATCHES won another big award. Entered in competition with schools of our enrollment, the C. H. S. year book took First place in the Southern Inter-Scholastic Press Association. the first time this honor has come to our high school. Our annual has been entered in many contests and has won many honors, but the greatest honor is to be able to publish this 1950 PUFFS AND PATCHES, because only with the support of a student body is a year book possible. 41 BETA CLUB Knowledge, in truth, is the great sun in the universe.

Carter, Reid, Bush, Lawhorne, Shumate, Lambert, Clarke, Campbell, Keesee, Lunger, Humphries, Keith, Hundley, Anderson, Deacon, Brubaker, Brown, Persinger, Thomas, Barger, Fix, A. Carter, E. McAllister. The membership of the Beta Club consists of students high in leadership ability, in character, and in scholastic achievement. To be tapped as a new member is a high honor because the aim of this club is to promote the ideals of honesty, service, and leader- ship and to encourage and assist students to continue their education after high school. By selling greeting cards the club is establishing a scholarship fund to be awarded each year to a graduating Beta Club senior. But all is not work! The scholars held a Christmas party, a dance, and picnics throughout the year. 42 TRI-HI-Y AND HI-Y Character is higher than intellect.

Their purpose is to create, maintain, and extend high standards of Christian character. Thanksgiving baslcets for needy families and Christmas stockings for veterans are some of the Tri-Hi-Y gifts. Attendance at regular and special church services is encouraged. The February dance is one of the school's most pleasant social affairs. 43 SCIENCE. HOME ECONOMICS.

The Home Economics Club promotes a growing appreciation of the joy and satis- faction of home-making, believing that home-keeping hearts are happiest. Looking after the stage, making arrangements for plays, replacing light bulbs, clean- ing shades and looking after all types of odd jobs for the benefit of the school!-all this is the business of the energetic, enterprising members of the Auditorium Club, and Mr. Hoover, their sponsor.

The first Girls' Glee Club in our school was organized in l929 under the direction of Mr. Recldiclc. Since then it has become an important part of Covington High School. Mrs. Nell Fleshman undertook the direction of the club in l945. The 50 members under her fine guidance and with her hard work have grown to a membership of l25. The Glee Club helps present the Annual Spring Concert and from the Glee Club are chosen the members for the next year's vocal music class and the A Capella Choir. 47 C. H. S. BAND Let music sound.

In l925, Mr. Curfman organized the Boys' Monogram Club. This organization is composed of boys who have worked hard and have received the monogram of honor which Covington High School presents to her best athletes. The letter C represents the high school, and it is with pride that the boys wear their monograms. Each member of the Girls' Monogram Club has earned a letter in basketball or cheerleading. They sponsor dances and sell souvenirs to get money for things which are needed. Initiation of new members and a camping trip are the big events of the spring. Pep. personality, and performance-that's the slogan of the girls' club. 50 THE CHEERLEADERS Old Blue and Gold is on the way. I. Ready forthe big game. 2. Rah! Rah! Rah! 3. Who you gonna yell for? 4. High-steppers, C-ay, attractive, and spirited, the cheerleaders typify high school at its happiest. Their school spirit and loyalty to the teams are outstanding even in school-spirited, team- loving C. H. S. Neda, Phyllis, Jo Ann, Burley, Snufly, Marretta, Elizabeth, and Fryda lead the Cougar cheering section with perfect rhythm and snappy actions. The bright blue and gold uniforms provide color and excitement for the fans. Their cheers furnish inspiration and encouragement for the teams. The Sadie Hawkins dance, which is given by the cheerleaders, is a happy Get-Your-Man Day for the girls and a happy Get-Caught Day for the boys. At pep rallies, games, or dancing, the cheerleaders are tops. 51 HERE ARE THE COUGARS Line: B. Hawkins, Sizemore, Hughes, Vance, Huffman, Miller, Harrison. Bacfffield: Ramsey, Boerner, Mills, and Swartz. Condition week of the I9-49 football season opened with plenty of material, hut most of the material was green and needed coaching. They spent the week going through two rough, grinding practices daily which consisted of vigorous ex- ercises and sprints, and talking over fundamentals of the game. A lot of work had to he done in a short time hecause the season started earlier this year with the game at William Byrd. With this in mind, the squad set out to learn the tactics, plays, and a set of effective, bewildering defensive plays that their coaches, Booclie Al- bert and Lem Fitzgerald, had devised for the team this year, and which played a major part in the low scoring of the opposing team. With their first victory over William Byrd, the boys of the squad took a feeling of confidence and the urge to win no matter what the odds, as they showed against A. Nl. A. two weeks later. Although the Cougars lost by I8-7, they had played to win and came back the following week to defeat Lexington. The next Friday the team and the school suffered a defeat from Waynesboro 52 WE'RE PROUD OF THEM Line: Claytor, Dressler, White, Long, Hardy, Lunger, and Humphries.

Long hard practices followed in the next week in which their mistakes were corrected and they set out to show the district who had the better ball club, and Greenbrier was defeated Zl-6. Winchester was soundly defeated 25-0 on a very muddy field. The Cou- gars continued their decisive victories over the following teams: Clifton Forge, 48- 0: Staunton, 49-0g Harrisonburg, 34-O. Playing heads-up ball all the way, they defeated a very strong team from Highland Springs, Va., in a post-season game by a score of 33-I4. The Covington Cougars placed the greatest number of boys on the All- District Team. They were: Gene Huffman, left guard: Frank Harrison, left end: Bill Sizemore, right tackle: Kenneth Boerner, quarterbackg and Duane Mills, right halfback. Co-captains were Frank Harrison and Gene Huffman. 53 Fira! Rom: Fenclerson, Oliver, Ailsloclc, D.

Don Shifllett led the squad in batting with a .352 average-followed by Jamison's .345 average.
