REFERENCE ONLY B A G--S Do Not Remove from the Library j§f • • Nineteen Hundred a nd Sixty Published by the Students of COVINGTON HIGH SCHOOL Covington, Virginia Volume 33 In the office of C. H. S. teachers have their mail- As another year unfolds at Cov- ington High School a change has taken place. The halls have dis- missed the graduates and gathered in new students. Dances, clubs, and parties move into their proper per- spective, as swimming and vaca- tions are forgotten. Interwoven among the activities is the desire to get the most from life by the training of minds for living in a more perfect way. It is through learning that knowledge and enjoyment of life increase. Learning is the important factor in school life, for that is the purpose of a school. The success of a bright tomorrow depends on the guidance in education and experience that is received now. Eagerness to gain new knowl- edge and to seek more attractive living patterns is all a part of grow- ing up. These stages are truly ADVENTURES IN LIVING AND LEARNING. Whereas all other sub- jects train the mind, physi- cal education develops the body. In this girls ' class, exercises, basketball, table games, dancing, kickball driving training are taught. boxes and here they receive materials which may be beneficial to them and their students. Miss Drewry and Mr. Steele seem to appreci- ate this convenience as they collect their mail and have time for conversation. When the lunch bell rings, there is a shuffling of feet, a banging of lockers, and a jingling of money as hungry stu- dents quickly form a long cafeteria line. Lunch time is always welcomed so that all may relax before af- ternoon classes begin.

Phyllis Whitmore, Kitty Thompson, Brenda Broughman and Mary Basham find that hard work and practice im- prove their typing skills. Enrolled in a commercial course, they are preparing for a career in business. Shorthand and bookkeeping are also offered in pre- paration for jobs after graduation. 4 Living and Learning Using Mike Coll ins and Pat Garten as models, Lynda Hanks, an outstanding art student, practices her skills as she paints a water color scene. Jimmy Arritt, Richard Love and Pat Grose are demonstrating the funda- mentals of the color blending appa- ratus to the physics class. It ' s a big night for Bill Ervin; he has the convertible and a date with Barbara Moody. They go to Northside to end their evening with food and conversation. So typical! 5 SPIRITUALLY. jjfll i i JR. B .J9g fW ' j.L w . W We Seek The Best From Life Morning devotions sponsored by the T ri-Hi-Y and monthly chapel services help to meet the spiritual needs of students at Covington High School. A different minister is invited to speak at each chapel. For this par- ticular one, Mr. Johnson of the Cal- laghan Charge delivered the mes- sage. The scripture was read by Norman Craft, Vice-president of the Student Council; Ronnie Snead, Stu- dent Council President, presided. The A ' Cappella Choir, under the direction of Mrs. Fleshman, led the singing of hymns and also presented a special anthem. The devotions, the ministers ' talks, the scriptures and the music are combined to lend spiritual mean- ing to our everyday living. Elizabeth Swartz and Malcolm Kessinger take time out for fun as they leave her home on a date. A special Harry Casey, Carol Hilton, Randall Dilley and Carolyn Smith arrive occasion must be in the offing because they wear bright at the theater on their dates. If this night is typical of most week-ends, smiles as they look forward to the evening. they will find many friends inside, as this is a favorite place for dating. SOCIALLY Wanda Carter happi- ly ad|usts Thomas Hud- son ' s tie os they, along with Dale Howard and Joyce Kersey, eagerly await a very special formal, the Junior-Senior Prom. m A .. We E Our band adds color and excitement to pep rallies, football games and many Darnrles. In September, in pomp and splendor, the majorettes and bana members led the annual Labor Day parade. ngage In Many Pastimes. Barbara Robinson, Priscilla Early, Mae Ailstock, and Joyce Waddell relax together after school. They learn many things from these get-togethers, including latest school happenings, fads, who is going with whom, and many others. The times when living is at its best are often during these simple gatherings of friends with no more to do than to chat and enjoy one another ' s com- pany. PHYSICAL SCIENCE Experiments add color and in- terest to physical science classes. Mary Ethel Hanna and Frank Long are learning about weights and measurements under the guidance of Mr. Meredith We strive for 10 HOME EC. In the cottage the girls learn about cook- ing, sewing, planning meals, and various other beneficicl skills which will aid in their future roles as homemakers. Under the su- pervision of Mrs. Hall, Shirley Brooks and Sue Blankenship take their turn at the stove. School is preparing these girls not only for business or college but also for the parts they will play in their own homes. SCIENCE LIBRARY Since the importance of science is being stressed, a new department has been added to our library. The Travel- ing Science Library is used extensively by dozens of stu- dents interested in subjects from primitive man to flights into space. Judy Barnhart and Richard Scholz have found these books useful and informative. BAND After several years of playing an instru- ment, Tommy Will- iams, Ricky Beirne, Jimmy Landis, Grover Hicks, and George Bird still find it nec- essary to have extra rehearsals to learn their music for con- certs and parades. At times individual in- struction as well as group instruction is directed by Mrs. Fleshman. DRIVER ' S TRAINING Mr. Sizemore is taking Charles Stevenson and Butch Kennedy for their weekly lesson. Many students desiring to learn how to drive have benefited greatly by enrolling in Driver ' s Education. These students study the driving laws and proce- dures in physical education classes and then put knowledge to work in the automobile. excellence in our classes PHYSICAL Walter Altizer, the catcher, and Phil Huffman are two of Covington ' s fine baseball lettermen. Here they are warming up before a game. Pat Stinnett, Judy Barnhart, Sue Floyd, Mrs. White, Linda Fridley, Elizabeth Swartz, and Sue Blankenship, the senior players, discuss their strategy before game time. For the past two years Covington, Central, Clifton Forge, Dunlop and Jeter Junior High Schools have participated in a county field day. All the schools have been well represented and have worked to make it a colorful event. The re- lay races have been par- ticularly popular. 2, 4, 6, 8 who do we appreciate Team! Team!

This person is chosen be- cause of his contributions to the school. This book is in honor of one who has deserved the recognition long before this. He has many talents and gives of them freely to the school; he has a fine teaching record and has devoted himself to his job. His interest in our school has not ended in the classroom for he has taken part in It is typical to walk into the office before school begins and see Mr. HereticK standing at the end of the counter overseeing the sale of supplies or counting the receipts from a football game. many of the school ' s activities. He takes many responsibilities and finds time to do them all well. Although the 1960 staff of Puffs and Patches feels no volume could possibly express all the love and admiration we feel for him ,we hope this annual will please him as he so pleases us. This annual is proudly presented to John S. Heretick. As an endman in the minstrel, Jawn always provides many laughs. He also prepares the script, coaches the other endmen and sings a good ole southern song. ' John S. Heretick Companion, Teacher, Friend i iae m I fi ipss®® ® ' FEATURES Study . . . Study , . .

The School Board of the City of Covington One of the many duties of the School Board is to see that the schools are adequate for the needs of the stu- dents. Here they are meeting with an architect to open bids for additions to two city schools. During the past year teachers from every department at Covington High have met with these members to enlighten them about our curriculum. Such procedure enables the School Board to become better informed about the subject matter being taught in the school and to become better acquainted with the teachers. Members: Harold Love, Ralph Stettner, Norwood Tingler, Mr. Beazley, A. L Blankenship (Chairman), Charlotte Wright (Clerk), Mr London Smith (Architect), and William Verross. Mr. William R.

THE OFFICE STAFF Sue Blankenship, Penny Schoppmeyer, Norman Shumate, Freddie Pierce, Betty Warwick, Geraldine Keith, Janet Smith, Joyce DeSalvo, and Ronnie Bunch. These volunteer workers assist Mrs. Humphries in her many duties. They take telephone messages, mimeograph, type, and distribute materials to the homerooms. The example set by these students is just another of an efficiently operated office. Mrs. Humphries is secretary to the principal; she also issues tardy and absence excuses, types tests for the teachers, and often helps students with their problems. She displays a great deal of pride in her work and in our school. Despite her many chores she always has a smile for us. Mrs. Ernestine Humphries Secretary In science, group work is often supplemented by individual study. Pat Crawford relates many interesting phases of class work to lab work by the use of the microscope. Although it may appear that Scottie Boyd is doing geom- etry, she is actually drawing layouts as part of her journalism assignment. Newspaper layout and yearbook design are in- tegral parts of journalism class. Studying...

Judy Perry, a junior commercial student, has learned to operate the mimeograph machine. Since she is seeking her place in business, it is important that she can operate the various time-saving devices which are found in most modern offices. In public speaking class students are trained in proper speaking habits and helped to develop poise. Mrs. Fleshman is helping Billisue Quote by recording her voice and offering constructive criticism. Larry Cluck, a D.E. student, works at a local hardware store in the afternoons. He gains practical experience as he prepares for his place in business. As a part of their study of American literature, the juniors in Mrs. Cvizic ' s classes act out Our Town .

Harry Martin, Linda Smith, Linda Carper, and Garnet Arring- ton, accompanied by Ray Jordan, perform for the class. This giant slide rule is used by Miss Mahaney in her trigonometry class. Roy Hedges is explaining its use to other members of the class. As a part of a state-wide testing program, STEP and SCAT ability and achievement tests were given to all members of the student body. Mrs. Pitman and Mrs. Lawless, counselors, are administering the test to homeroom 203. Miss Thomas, head counselor, acquaints Janice Smith with various college require- ments. One of the duties of all counselors is to advise students in selection of colleges and courses. Each year the counselors undertake the task of interviewing each new student in order to become better acquainted with him and to answer any questions he may have about his new schcol.

Representatives are elected from each homeroom and from the classes at large. An important part of school life is played by this hard-working group. Some of its more im- portant jobs are: maintaining the Honor Code System and Flower Fund, making and enforcing rules, raising and lowering the flag, planning assembly programs, and sponsoring the Fresh- man Dance and Christmas Formal. In all of its activities, the SCA has one objec- tive: to help the students in all phases of school life.

It sponsored an inspirational bulletin board and morning devotions for the benefit of the students. The members also collected food and clothing bas- kets and sold Easter lilies for charity. Before being asked to join, members of the club are screened on the basis of their character, church attendance, and principles. The girls strive through the activities of the club to extend their principles, but they go even farther by striv- ing each day to make their lives examples for every other student to follow.

Many hours of work went into this an- nual; work in school was supplemented by many hours spent after school and at night. Hands, feet, and brains hurried as schedules were met, pictures made, lay- outs planned, copy written, ads solicited, and details arranged. Gradually the loose ends began to fit together, and the ma- terial was sent to the printer. In April, nine members of the staff and Mrs. Kellam attended the S.I.P.A. convention in Lexington to exchange ideas and learn new methods for annual work.

Love to Sing The members of the vocal class begin their Christ- mas program by singing “Oh, Come, All Ye Faith- ful as they march down the aisles. On stage Mrs. Fleshman directs the chorus in favorite Christmas songs. The vocal class offers to each member an op portunity to develop his voice and expand his musical interests. Mrs. Fleshman, the director, gives valuable instructions in choral work to the musically-inclined students in the school. This year the vocal class presented concerts at school and to civic and church groups. An inspir- ing program of songs and carols from various lands was presented at Christmas as part of the special Christmas assembly. The spring activities included the minstrel and a joint concert with the band. These seventy students enjoy harmonizing for the love of singing and lend a musical flavor to living at Covington High.

Each year Covington High School can depend upon its band for that extra boost in school spirit and loads of good music on special occasions. This year was no exception. The band participated in all pep rallies, per- formed dur ; ng half-time at the football games, and marched in many parades. One of the year ' s highlights was the spring concert in which the band offered a varied and highly enjoyable program. These young musicians performed artistically and professionally. Not to be forgotten was a memorable trip to the Apple Blossom Festival in Winchester. The marching unit was not surpassed in competition by any other unit. Most members have been studying instrumental music from four to six years and band experience has given its members valuable instruction in self-discipline and responsibility, as well as in music. It is truly an education and a satisfying reward for its members.

This group adds extra color and excitement to the band during parades and football games. All precision routines and dances were originated by the girls themselves. During the fall they practiced diligently every afternoon after school in preparation for half-time shows. Most of the girls are underclassmen, so big things can be expected again next season.

Mrs. Sarah Parker, the sponsor, stresses the importance of the nation ' s teachers, who guide its future citizens. The fifteen-member club meets once a month, with various area teachers attending as guest speakers. Subjects of interest and importance to prospective teachers are discussed. An active club, the F.T.A. has had several worthwhile projects this year. It provided substitutes for Jeter; it presented a Turkey to a needy fam- ily at Christmas; it sent delegates to the annual F.T.A. convention. During the year, the members have prepared for the great responsibility of instilling knowledge in future stu- dents.

Second: Mrs. Parker, Waddell, Reed, Mays, McDaniels, Miller, Henning Future Homemakers The Future Homemakers of Amer- ica, composed of all the homemaking students, had two goals this year: to emphasize development and use of one ' s abilities, and to better under- stand and aid members of the com- munity. It has constantly been at work on some activities to achieve this goal. The girls visited the local nursing home with treats for shut-ins and visited local stores and the Health Center. On the social side, the future homemakers had a tea for parents, teachers, and the administrative staff; and sponsored the onnual Mother-Daughter banquet. At this event Miss FHA, an outstanding sen- ior homemaking student, was crowned. The last big event of the year was a fashion show in which members took great pride because they mod- eled clothes they had styled and made. These F.H.A. members are prepar- ing themselves for indispensable jobs in the home. OFFICERS President Vice President Secretary ... Treasurer Parliamentarian Historian Reporter , .

Girls prepare for Business World The Future Business Leaders of America Club is a national organiz- ation for all students interested in business education. Its objective is to better acquaint its members with work in the business world and to better prepare them for it. During the year ,the members have put their motto, Se rvice, Education, and Progress, into constructive ac- tion. They made a donation to the Veterans ' Christmas Stocking Fund, took orders for senior cards, sent delegates to three workshops, partici- pated in the State Spelling Bee, and had a bake sale. Believing that experience is the best teacher, these girls have started early to learn competency in business leadership. Miss Beulah Jones, the sponsor, has encouraged and aided the members in all their efforts.

A Beta must have a ninety average. The Beta Club is composed of stu- dents who have achieved high scho- lastic ratings. In order to join, mem- bers must have maintained an aver- age of at least ninety during their first two years of high school and received a character recommendation from Mr. Curfman. In March, the Beta Club attended the state convention held in Roanoke. A dance was sponsored and a bake sale was held to raise money for the trip. This year, through their assembly program and their own examples as good students, the members have bet- ter acquainted the student body with its purposes and standards.

On-the-job-Training’’ Diversified Occupations To many students, holding a lob is as much a part of their edu- cation as sitting in class is to oth- ers. This is especially true of the juniors and seniors of the Diversi- fied Occupations Club. These peo- ple go to their regular classes in the morning and then to work in the afternoon. In this way, valu- able experience is gained for jobs in industry and retailing. Mr. Gordon Jonas heads the Diversified Occupations organiza- tion at C H S. He not only in- structs in class, but he also visits his students at their jobs and re- cords their progress. In this unique program students learn the basic fundamentals of a trade and then gain first-hand experience in it. The officers are Jess Carter — President, Nelson Simmons — Vice President, Robert Eggleston — Sec- retary and Treasurer, and Ray Fridley — Reporter.

Craw- ford FOOTBALL 1959 This fall, a high spirited, greatly improved football team bet- tered a record of 0-10 by breaking a 13 game losing streak and ended a successful season with a 3-7 record. Under the coaching of Boodie Albert, Rhea Saltz, and Stuart Keesee the light and inexperienced Cougars faced their last Group 1 schedule. The Cougars won the support of the fans and recognition of their opponents with their clean and hard-fought playing and their unwillingness to give up. With an average of two touchdowns a game, the Cougars pounded out three hard-fought victories over G.M.S., George Washington of Danville, and the Clifton Forge Mountaineers to recapture the beloved Little Brown Jug. Although they were defeated seven times the Cougars were held scoreless only on two occasions. Next year our Cougars will enter the newly formed Group 1-B Blue Ridge District consisting of Cave Springs, Franklin County, Martinsville, Drewry Mason, William Byrd, and Bassett. Non- conference games will include Andrew Lewis, William Fleming and, of course, Clifton Forge. Ralph Snead, on kick-off against Clifton, escapes two tacklers as David Keith throws a key block. Loyd Milstead and Roy Hedges block for Phil Huffman who picks up valuable yardage against Clifton Forge. 54 Boodie Albert, Head Coach; Stuart Keesee and Bunny bairz, Assistant Coaches.

With their knowledge of sports, past experience, and their willingness to succeed in everything they do, they led and coached the boys through the season with unfaltering trust. The coaches emphasize good sportsmanship and manners as well as discipline at practice, on trips, and at home. All these qualifications tend to make the coaches highly respected at C-H.S.

This lack of experience was one of the factors that kept the team from achieving the winning season expected of it. The record is not one that will long be remembered by those who supported the team, but few will forget the drive and determination shown by the seven boys who fought and battled a strong Buena Vista team for what must be rated as the most exciting and thrilling second half of basketball seen in Covington for several years. Because of its spirit, determination, self-sacrifice, adherence to training rules, and love of the game, the team can be proud of its record.

Coach White was fortunate to have each girl on her first string with three years previous playing expe- rience. The prospects for next year are equally good.

It is one in which each individual is important; he must be in excellent physical condition, very quick, and have a complete knowledge of the sport. The ever growing interest and popularity of wres- tling is occasioned, not only by the speed and ex- citement of the matches, but also by the idea of an individual sport. Team work is not important, but sportsmanship must rate high. The wrestling season didn ' t start until after mid- term but the enthusiasm of the boys promised it would be an exciting one.

Outstanding Athletes Of 1959-60 BASKETBALL Sue Floyd These athletes were selected by their coaches as outstanding because of their athletic ability, good sportsmanship, will to win, and determination. An athlete must train, abide by the rules, and work for academic achievement in order to remain eligible for sports. Covington High School is proud to have such fine representatives in each of its various sports. FOOTBALL Mickey Caviness The pep and spirit of C.H.S. is provided by the cheerleaders. These girls, after much practice, take their places before the anxious crowds and lead the teams to vic- tory through their yells and formations. The squad was selected by the student body on the first day of school. Each girl had to lead a cheer so that she could be judged on her performance. Rain or snow, victory or defeat, the cheerleaders are always on hand to ado pep and festivity to school events.

Every year the students prepare baskets for the needy. This year the students of Covington High displayed the true meaning of Christmas by filling seventy-two baskets. Guests at the dance were Mr. and Mrs. Love, Mr. and Mrs. Blanken- ship, Mr. Beazley, and Mr. Curfman. Mr. and Mrs. Boodie Albert and Mrs. Maggie White were chaperones at the Christmas Formal. Some sad, some gay, and some sleepy.

Having trouble? Bunny Saltz, Boodie Al- bert, and Frank Parker find it necessary to change their attention from their game to their stalled donkeys. Norman Shumate lashes out in a vain attempt to free himself from the hands of the law. Ronnie Bunch, in the custody of Frank Dawson, looks on as Officers Chumbley and Rice subdue the murderer. Freddie Pierce and Glen Carper stand in awe as they gaze on the limp body of Eddie Donnally. Mr. Donnally was the unfortunate victim of a lethal mixture brewed by two unscrupulous old ladies. Arsenic and Old Lace” Arsenic and Old Lace, a three act comedy by Joseph Kessling, was presented by students of Cov- ington High School under the direction of Mrs. Shir- ley Kellam and Mrs. Nell Fleshman. The play, centered around the Brewster home, had touches of romance, comedy, and murder. The play was filled with suspense as e ach talented member performed well. The hard work and long hours of practice proved well-spent in the success of the drama. CAST Abby Brewster Rev.

I ' m Ronnie Btinch and this is Thomas Hudson and we ' r from Covington High School. If you have time we would like to talk to you about an ad in our annual, Puffs and Patches. Tell me one thing, boys . . . Since I am acquainted with your type of advertising. . . . Why do you have to sell ads for your book? Well . . . Sir . . . it is self-supporting. . . . We sell the books and ads to cover all publishing costs. Do you operate in the black? Every year. Sir. Proud to say . . . Good business, Ronnie and Thomas. What do you have to offer? Well — first . . . let me say that more than 450 students buy an annual . . . two-thirds of our school population . . . so counting their families . . . at least eighteen hundred people will see your ad . . . That makes good sense. . . . How about sizes and cost? These are our samples. . . . You have a choice of four sizes: full page, fifty dollars; half page, twenty-five dollars; one-fourth page, fifteen; and one-fifth page, ten dollars . . . Yes, Sir. . . . And with all ads fifteen dollars and up we will provide a pic- ture. . . . Naturally . . . you select your own copy . . . How about the cost of the picture? No additional cost. Sir. . . . We will take it at your convenience and even provide student models if you desire. Good deal! I ' ll take a half-page ad. Oh! Thank you. ... Now — when do I pay? We ' ll bill you after the first of the year, Mr. Early. Thanks again. Sir . . . it is through your patronage that we are able to finance our yearbook. You are welcome.

Miss Thomas, counselor, interpreted scores for Pat Garten and Debbie Bayne. Covington s first appointee to the Air Force Academy was Ronnie Bunch. Here he was congratulated by Mr. Curfman for the successful completion of the mental and physical examinations against such stiff competition.

The endmen added hilarity to the minstrel, not only with their jokes, but also with their songs. They were at their best with “Don ' t Bring Lulu . 1 n f 1 1 Mrs. Fleshman had a tiny visitor, Rush Fleshman, her grandson, for one performance. Judging from the grin, he thought it was great!

Fleshman John Heretick Margaret White Shirley Kellam Maude Mahaney Elizabeth Smith Snatch Persinger Sophisticated Seven Interlocutor Thomas Hudson seemed rather incredulous as Peanuts Love told another tale about one of his many girl friends. Charles Lee Hanna changed the pace of the show with his beautifully-sung If I Loved You . Covington ' s answer to the Rockettes — Dickie Logan, Wesley Boener, Mike Collins, Chipper Lockridge, Jackie Rickett, and Sonny Rice — • delighted the audience with their precision routine , When My Sugar Walks Down the Street . David Linkenhoker and Dottie Gaylor, with hats and canes, brought back memories of the old song and dance routines. Dottie danced as David sang On the Sunny Side of the Street . Barbara £ites, imitating a bow- legged chicken and a knock-kneed hen , demonstrated the Tennessee Wig-Walk . Heading for the Far East, Ronnie Huffman, Martha Hardy, Wanda Carter and Bill Cook gave their version of the Hindu Hop to Song of India . Dottie Gaylor and Carol Ohl had a nice talk with Mr. E. K. Lindley, Director of Washing- ton Bureau — Newsweek , after his very interesting talk on the prospective presidential candidates. At the Awards Luncheon which was attended by over 1100 students from nine southern states the Puffs and Patches of 1959 re- ceived the Trophy Award for the Third Divi- sion. The students and Mrs. Kellam proudly admired the plaque. On April 28, 1960, the journalism students attended the SIPA Convention at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia. Here, the students are proudly showing the Trophy Award they received for their 1959 Puffs and Patches. Elizabeth Swartz, Janice Smith, Carol Hilton, Debbie Bayne, Mrs. Kellam, Thomas Hudson, Carol Ohl, Scottie Boyd, Pat Garten, Dottie Burns, and Dottie Gaylor. The band ' s trip to the Apple Blossom Festival was supported by the selling of candy. Here, Joyce Waddell and Malcolm Kessinger sold candy to Judy Barnhart while Sandra Dale and Elizabeth Swortz looked on. SPRING ACTIVITIES ARE VARIED The trim C.H.S. band, marched in style and dress in Winchester. This hard-working group displayed preci- sion marching under the direction of Mrs. Fleshman. Before starting the trip to Winchester for the Apple Blossom Festival, these two band students, Thomas Hudson and George Bird, hang a sign Winchester or Bust on the bus. First row: Fridley, Carter, Blankenship, Swartz, Stinnette, and Humphries. Second row: Schoppmeyer, Burns, Barnhart, S. Smith, S. Smith, Scott, and Floyd. Third row: Myers, Weisse, Calhoun, and Lawhorne. These girls received letters for either basketball or cheerleading. These boys have been outstanding enough in football, baseball, basketball, and wrestlina to win the coveted C . First row: Hepler, Rice, Counts, Snead, Gordon, Bruce, Armstrong, Ballengee, Donnally. Second row: R. Snead, King, Taylor, Blankenship, Paxton, Arritt, Crawford, Carter, Carper, Meeks. Third row: M. Hayslett, Linton, Broughman, Altizer, Long, Huffman, Keith, Parry.

Mr. Jack Casto, chairman of the Jaycees Teenage Road- E-O, presented Thomas Hudson the first place award in the driving contest. AND STIMULATING... The band looked like spring as the annual concert was presented to a capacity audience. This performance was the highlight of a year ' s hard work. Soon after the whisper Annuals are here, a special assembly was held. Debbie Bayne, editor of the 1960 Puffs and Patches , presented the first book to John S. Heretick, to whom it was dedicated. Bobbie Carter dashed over the line to win the girls ' shuttle relay. Long legs and a will to win helped this group to add a few more points to Covington ' s score. The annual 1960 Field Day gathering was held at Central High School. Students from Dunlap, Central, Valley, and Coving- ton Junior and Senior high schools par- ticipated in this event. 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 a 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 sawdust, 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. Mickey Caviness pre- sented the Field Day Trophy to Mr. Curf- man in the Awards Assembly. 160 First row — Brisendine, Lee, Long, Hepler, King, Rice. Second er, Arritt. Third row — Vess, Hinton, Crowder, Fortner, Dilley, Row — Armstrong, Ervin, Andrews, Huffman, Linton, Hartbarg- Sykes, G Hayslett, M. Hayslett, Coach Stuart Keesee.

SENIORS WELCOMED TO WAIKIKI BEACH Judy Propst and Becky Nickols entertained the seniors with the beautiful Hawaiian Wedding Song . Ray Jordan, Dottie Gaylor, Bob Chumbley and Carol Ohl were mong the many who enjoyed The Cha-Cha as played by the sophisticated Seven . 162 Mr. Curfman, our principal, with his new flat-top , seemed to thoroughly enjoy the prom. Joyce DeSalvo, Kitten Miller, and Carol Downey, the hula dancers, performed and then relaxed to watch the other entertainers. Mr. Curfman crowned Linda Fridley and Walter Altizer, Queen and King of Waikiki Beach. They reigned over the festivities, as the juniors entertained the seniors with the lovely songs and dances of the islands. Suzanne Robinson, Sarah Boyd, Eileen Isley, and Sue Ellen Hodges sang two delightful Hawaiian songs to the accompaniment of their ukeleles. Edna Bolt was a charming hostess, serving Hawaiian punch and cookies to the guests. 163 New York’s a wonderful town. The New York travelers waited in line for a guided tour of the UN Building. These C.H.S. students left their busses to visit the UN building. Carol Ohl, Joyce DeSalvo, Bill iesue Quate and Dottie Burns relaxed after reaching the top of the Empire State Building. Eddie Donnally tried out his China Town Souvenir while Ellis Arritt and Sammy Per- singer looked on. SENIOR BANQUET On June seventh the seniors enjoyed a banquet served by the Philathea Class at Granbery Memorial Methodist Church. Joyce Waddell, Secretary of the class, toasted Mr Heretick; Ray Jordan and Linda Fridley provided music and monologs for the en- joyment of their classmates. General ' ' Mike Collins read the Last Will and Testament to the student body. Jimmy Phillips assisted him as Jack Sparr, Eddie Donnally, and Hugh Ups, Ronnie Snead, looked on. JACK SPARR SHOW HIGHLIGHTED SENIOR DAY The world renown dancing pair The Kangaroos , Thomas Hudson and Wanda Carter, added some life to the show with their version of the Tango. Hosy Jealous , Ray Jordan, and his Sun Glassers gave the show that way out sound as they hit their off-notes. Have you ever tried ' Revolt Icky Sticky ' hair spray? asked Priscilla Early. Just look at these beautiful hair styles as dis- played by Pat Grose and Debbie Bayne. One hundred forty Covington High School students received their diplomas on June 9, 1960 in Curfman Hall.

LIVING AND LEARNING WILL CONTINUE Mickey Caviness received his diploma and a warm hand shake from Principal Curfman. With our adventures in living just beginning and our adven- tures in learning at a vital stage, we bring down the curtain on our high school life. One couldn ' t ask for a better climax to his eleven years of schooling than the traditional encore of gradu- ation. This is truly our first taste of living, our first rehearsal on the stage of life. These are mo- ments we will cherish for all of our lives. After graduation each of us will go our separate ways and our Adventures in Living and Learning will continue.
