J- r. ; ' « V O ' V, M V-x It I I ! 4 o ’ ' ■ As the years come and go. Our thoughts will often stray, To the good old days at C.H.S., So wonderful and gay. Then we’ll fondly take our yearbooks. And, as we turn each leaf. We’ll recall the treasured moments. Which now seem so few and brief. The veil of forgetfulness Is quickly brushed aside. As the pictures seem to come to life Before our ' ery eyes! We’ll realize the magic. That chosen words create. To bring to mind so ividly. The stories they relate. So with printed words and photographs, Puffs and Patches will this year, Preserve those cherished moments That we share while we are here. Socializing is fine; chatting is fun. But when the bell rings, we must run. published by the Students |l I I 111 fli. |i will liliiliifiail It I i ill ifiyp f ' lmawtilf ISB IllMiP I’i ' ipi Pifif mmmtx of ovington J{igk Sc . oof Covington, Virginia We look to the of the 4 We have many books; we really don’t mind.

The band and the chorus in harmony blended, Their version of “Battle Hymn of the Republic” was splendid. Little things mean a lot wherever you go. Manners and kindness are important, you know.

Fall is here, bringing with it the trend Of returning to school, the work and fun That are both in store for everyone. Confusion prevails the first few days. And on every side, school life portrays A uniform scene of friends old and new, Not only among students, but teachers, too. We settle down to work at last; The time of excitement and confusion is past. There are more serious matters to face. Studies must be given a prominent place. There’s fun and thrills galore for all Who enjoy football and basketball. Sports and activities round out our year There’s something of interest for everyone here. Winter is gone, now comes months of spring With dances and outdoor sports they bring. The remainder of our school days slowly wane And summer vacation is here again. Back to the main building.

OFFICE STAFF Can yon imagine what it would be like without the office staff? In our school this cjuestion will never be an- swered, for CHS is always blessed with efficient and cheerfid assistants. These students, under the eapal le direction of the School Secretary, Mrs. Humphries, perform the Herculean tasks of checking and recording absentees, distributing menus and bulletins, selling paper and pencils and carrying out Mr. Curfman’s recpiests. They also are taught how to use the many time-saving devices in our school office, such as the mimeograph and adding machines, duplicators and, of course, typewriters. The office staff seeks to develop necessary and important business tactics in order to keep our office and school running smoothly. FACULTY ALBEHl ' , I ' HANCIS “Bootlii ' ”, ii.S.

DIVERSIFIED OCCUPATIONS PROGRAM Diversified Occupations is a program designed to provide vocational industrial training opportunities for high school juniors and seniors. It is a form of part time training that involves a cooperative arrangement between trade and industrial enterprises of the community and the public high school. These trade and in- dustrial establishments furnish part time employment and training to pupils during school hours. Through this employment the pupils learn the manipulative part of their jobs under actual working conditions. At the same time the school furnishes the technical subject material related to the jobs being learned. It also provides a qualified co-ordinator who directs the learning of the pupils in their study of related technical information and visits the pupils at regular intervals during their work periods in industry. The related material is closely corre- lated with the operations the pupils learn on the job. DISTRIBUTIVE EDUCATION The Distributive Education Club is an integral part of the Distributive Education Program at Covington High School. The local club is affiliated with the State and National D. E. Clubs. The year’s program of work includes: development of the ability to work in groups through local meetings, area conventions, and an annual State convention followed by the National convention; social events, an annual employer-employee banquet; par- ticipation in community projects; and development of projects to promote good school and public relations. The four points on the D. E. insignia represents vocational understanding, civic consciousness, social intelligence, and leadership development; these points surround the package of satisfaction, a job well done.

STUDENT COUNCIL Bernard Snead Carolyn McCarthy . Carolyn Fleshman . Miss Helen Thomas Mrs. Ruth Cvizic The Student Council, the organized student government of C.H.S., is responsible for various important activities connected with school life. They plan weekly assembly programs, keep order during lunch in the cafeteria lines, raise the flag each morning, and help the sophomores get settled during their first few weeks of school. Later in the year, the S.C.A. sponsors Sophomore Initiation, at which time sophomores are recognized as full-fledged members of C.H.S. One of the most worthwhile activities which the S.C.A. has undertaken is the Honor System, through which the individual student pledges himself to uphold regula- tions and maintain school standards. One of the most important dances of the year, the Christmas Formal, is also a part of S.C.A. work. They sponsor a flower fund, made up of student contributions, sending flowers to members of the student body who are ill. The Student Council is truly a main spoke in the great wheel of activity at C.H.S. President Vice-President Secretary T reasurer Sponsors OFFICERS Della Bell DRAMATICS Nancy Wai wick, Betty Stone, Tillie Wood, Ruth Shue, Gene Delbridge, Ronald Lipes. A dramatics class debuted at Covington High this year, under the direction of Mrs. Nell Fleshman. Their initial performance was a serious one presented during American Education Week. Then, the fun began! A very clever little farce, “The Dummy”, was presented in assembly. It was soon followed by “A Date With Paul”, and we discovered we had a group of actors in our midst! BETA CLUB “Let us lead by serving others.” This is the motto of every Beta Club member. The Beta Club is a national organization of juniors and seniors having a scholastic record of 90 or more. They are chosen in their junior year on the basis of character, personality and achievment. With Mrs. Whiteside as sponsor and Jimmy I ove as president the Beta Club sponsored the annual Beta Hop to raise money for the Beta convention held in Roanoke. Meetings this year were held once a month in the homes of members to help promote a feeling of fellowship.

TRI-HI-Y “To create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community high ideals of Christian living” and set examples in their own life for others to follow is the aim of every member of the Tri-Hi-Y. Among their activities and projects, the club conducts short morning devotional services of an inspirational nature before the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter holidays. “If you have knowledge, let others light their candles by it,” is an example of the various quotations which may be seen on the blackboard in the main hall of C.H.S., placed there by the Tri-Hi-Y. Each year the Tri-Hi-Y sponsors the C.H.S. Sock-Hop. As a helpful gesture they prepare a basket for some needy family so their Thanksgiving will be a happier one. The Tri-Hi-Y is truly a club striving to brighten the lives of others. Jane Brungart President Sue Blankenship Vice-President Patricia Joseph Secretary Linda Hoke Mrs. Mary Clarke Treasurer Miss Gay Nell Arrington Sponsors 61 F. B. L. A “I believe every young person should prepare him- self for a useful occupation, and that he should carry on that occupation in a manner that will bring the greatest good to the greatest number.” That is just a small section of this club’s creed. The F.B.L.A. is sponsored by the Covington Business and Profes- sional Women’s Club and it is very active. With Miss Jones as their sponsor, they present an assembly program, sell cards to seniors, take part in spelling contests and for a state project they study parliamen- tary procedure.

Delicious smells from the kitchen and the clatter of sewing machines overhead greet you as you enter the Home Economics building. These girls believe that the only way to become a successful wife, and mother is to be prepared. The C.H.S. Homemakers sponsor a fashion show, modeling the clothes they have made; also, three social events; a tea for the faculty, a Mother and Daughter Banquet and a dance. The future of these girls is bright, for, lucky is the man who marries a member of the F. H. A. Clemons, Ward, Laughorne, Noel, Knighton, Johnson, Bell, Middleton, Stone. F. T. A. The members of the Future Teachers of America have a simple and direct aim; they wish to enter the teaching profession. They believe that a person is never too young to learn. So, by watching qualified teachers and hearing their views about teaching methods, they hope one day to be the teacher of their dreams. Taylor, Rose, Humphries, Switzer, Dressier, ' •men- troiit. Love, Bennett, Rhodes, Smith. y Kay Cliainberlain Assistant Editor Jane Howard Editor Harriet Hepler Assistant Manager Carol Jean Haynes Business Manager PUFFS AND PATCHES The Puffs and Patches staff at C.H.S. is composed mainly of seniors and a few juniors. Working hard each year they strive to publish a book which is entirely different and will be ai pealing to the students. Anyone who has ever worked on a staff such as this knows the many tedious jobs that must be done accurately and effectively. After the theme, color, and dedication are chosen, each page must be complete with layout and copy. We must be extremely careful to depict each phase of school life at C.H.S. and to give each one the proper coverage. In order to finance such a large book sufficient ads and subscriptions must be s dd. This is accomplished with the help of local merchants and students. Each year representatives of the Puffs and Patches Staff are sent to S.I.P.A. at Washington and Lee University to learn the correct methods of publishing an annual, and to exchange ideas with high school students from the South.

This group not only sings but is taught voice placement, correct breathing and phrasing. All members must sing two solos yearly as part of their ex- amination, thus displaying their voice improvement from January to June. These solos are of great importance in helping the students develop self-confidence. The programs presented by the vocal group range from classical to jazz as they must be prepared for any type of musical presentation. Donned in maroon and cream satin robes, the A’Cappella Choir supplies the musical background for our monthly chapel services. These students provide us with spirituals perfected only after long hours of practice and they lead us in the singing of familiar hymns. The almost professional quality of this group is not easily attained. Each member of the choir must have completed at least a full year of musical training.

Endinen, dancers, soloists and chorus are busy learning new songs and routines and looking for different versions of the old Dixie songs. The work begins but the fun never ends. COMMUNITY APPEARANCES The talents of our vocal group are in much demand. Yearly programs are presented for the West Virginia Pulp and Paper Company’s Eoreman’s Luncheon, the Covington Woman’s Club, the Covington-Hot Springs Rotary Club and the Clifton Forge Junior Women’s Club. It takes much preparation and training to help supply music for the community. IN THE SPRING At the Spring Concert we shared an unforgettable experience. We heard the vocal class, accompanied by the high school band, sing “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” Music that lifts your heart and makes you shiver when it isn’t even cold, is truly good music.

Whether it is a football game, a pep rally, a parade, or the Spring Concert the band puts on an excellent performance. In any kind of weather— rain, snow, or freez- ing temperatures the band is always ready to support the football team. Who are all those students coming home from school at 5:30 p.m.? No! They weren’t in study hall; they were at band practice. Many long weary hours are spent practicing for each performance.

Prior to the opening of school, Sandy Unroe and Harriette Burks attended the William and .Mary Summer Band School to improve their posture, marching, and style. They brought back new ideas on routines and dance steps that helped to spark the shows. Gay uniforms and plumes are only a part of the show. Behind the scenes, routines are planned, marches must be i erfected and m: y weary hours are spent twirling batons. But all the work pays off when the band proudly marches on the field at the first football game and the fans applaud.

Cheered on by spectators and fellow players, the Cougar Five kept the floor hot during several scoring streaks. Games that were lost failed to discourage the determined team, but instead, made them even more eager to win. Willing to correct their mistakes, the members of the team spent many hours practicing. The desire to win, even though im- portant, was not the main objective of the players. More valuable than anything was the satisfaction of a game well played, regardless of the score. The team, as a whole, displayed good sportsmanship and hard playing, and as the season drew to a close, the uppermost thought in the minds of the players was, “Next year ” SCORES Co ' vington 41 Clifton Forge 41 Covington 56 Pulaski 54 Covington 60 Central 53 Coxington 34 Win.

TRACK ’57 The CHS track team, under Coach Fitzgerald, spent the majority of the 1957 season acajuaint- ing themsehes with the fundamentals of track. Due to the fact that in the past, track has not been an estahlislied sport in CHS athletics, iiiost of tlie members were not familiar with track procedures. Track shoidd, in the near future, become a permanent part of our athletic program. Harrison Fridley executes the broad- jump successfully. Members of the track team line up for the half-mile dash.

Tfre endmen odded hilarity to the minstrel, not only with their jokes, but also with their songs. They were at their best with Don ' t Bring Lulu . Interlocutor Thomas Hudson seemed rather incredulous as Peanuts Love told another tale about one of his many girl friends. Mrs. Fleshman had a tiny visitor, Rush Fleshman, her grandson, for one performance. Judging from the grin, he thought it was great!

The various sports — ranging from girls ' volleyball to a boys ' tug of war — enthralled the spectators as each school fought hard to win top honors. Each school displayed great skill and the fact that they had prac- ticed many long hours to perfect them- selves. At the end of a long day, the scores were validated, and as in previous years, Coving- ton placed first in the Senior Division and Jeter Junior high school placed first in the Junior division. Central placed second, Dun- lap placed third and Valley came in last. It is hoped that the outcome of Field Day will help to induce an atmosphere of sportsmanship and give each school o pur- pose for trying harder. FIELD DAY HELD AT CENTRAL Mickey Caviness soared through the air in an at- tempt to win the broad jump. He landed in a heap of sowdust, but who cares, certainly not Mickey, he won. Judy Myers went up and over the bar and won third place in the Girls ' high jump. Stiff competition among the girls thrilled a large group of spectators.
