In those years many boys have had the privilege of knowing him, and play- ing football for him, and of being influenced by his natural buoyancy, dynamic personality, and his innate integrity. Just knowing Boodie has made these boys finer men. Through the years the girls at CHS have also known Boodie. They have loved his unfailing cheer- ful greetings and his extravagant compliments. Not only is Boodie well-remembered and well- known by past and present students, but he is also highly respected in the community for his civic COACH-OF-THE-YEAR — Twenty - five years and many football games later, Boodie remains the “coach you have to beat” in his district. With 1965 quar- terback Spooky Mays he discusses the strategy of a new play. work, and in area and state sports circles. For his undefeated season he was named area coach-of- the-year for 1965, and he was further honored by the Virginia Alumni of Notre Dame Universi ty, his alma mater. By voting him the “Notre Dame Man- Of-The-Year,” that group bestowed upon Boodie their highest honor. We of CHS congratulate the Notre Dame organi- zation for their good judgment, and we also name him ‘man-of-the-year’ of Covington High, for we know what a great role Boodie has played and con- tinues to play in making Covington High School an outstanding school. MR. ALBERT, THE TEACHER . . . Interesting, understanding, and encouraging are appropriate ad- jectives to describe Boodie in his world geography classroom, and a ‘laugh a day’ is an integral part of his teaching philosophy. 3 ECSTATIC . . . Becky Maupin’s face lights up at the mo- ment she hears she has been named Homecoming Queen. Her escort, Horace Cooke, seems almost as happy. PANELISTS . . . Brenda Seyglinski. Judy Cunning- ham and Bruce Schaule represented the Student Council on the pragram “Klassroom Kwiz.” THE BAND ... A heart-stirring part of any football game is the halftime perform- ance of the band. What Makes CHS? Dedicated FACULTY 14 Interested STUDENTS 38 Exciting SPORTS 82 Varied ACTIVITIES 108 Entertaining FEATURES 134 Supportive ADVERTISING 166 Senior Directory 196 Index 198 STRETCH . . . Bill Hepler makes a real effort to add two more points to the Cougar score. Make CHS. . . EYES ONLY FOR YOU . . . Even if later they must rush to beat the tardy bell, Billy Hepler and Linda Rothwell snatch a precious, between-class minute to see each other. 6 “WEAVER IS BIG SUCCESS” . . . Steve Weaver uses some of his study hall time to think big thoughts and to dream big dreams. . . . Their Dreams, Their Talents, Their Enthusiasm PFLUTER PFOUTZ ... If one is to become good enough to go to All- State Band, one must practice. J. C. Pfoutz did, and went. A HAPPY MAN . . . People at CHS recognize Mr. Stone as the man with the cheerful smile, the encouraging word and the hearty laugh. 7 Alert, Inquiring Students Eagerly Learn “CAREFUL, ED” ... Ed Lydiatt finds that it is necessary to be precise when using a slide rule. SMOOTH FINISH . . . Boys in woodworking learn that patience and attention to detail pay off. Murray Hutchens uses both to finish his gun cabinet. ACID OR BASE? . . . Linda Calehuff checks the results of an experiment in chem- istry lab. 8 In The Varied Classes At chs SCHOOL’S OUT . . . Carole Landis stops to chat with a friend after school, but her books are silent testimony that her school work does not really end at 3:02. 9 CHS Is Made Exciting By Its Assortment Of CHS COUGAR . . . Strong and fearless, the cougar is a fitting symbol for Covington High School. A-A-U-U-G-H! . . . David Whitehead (right) takes down C. L. Hilton, his opponent from Alleghany High. BREEZY ADVICE . . . Geneva Brown sings, “You Can’t Get A Man With A Gun” in the CHS Minstrel. 10 Sports Activities SITTING PRETTY . . . Brenda Glenn models her sports ensemble in the FHA fashion show. TOSS UP! Jimmy McClung (40) and a player from Lord Botetourt struggle for control of the basket- ball. BEAT COLTS . . . CHS students put the hex on ACHS by pinning “Beat ’em!” slo- gans on a burlap effigy of the Alleghany Colt. People, Classes, and Activities Are CELESTIAL CHEERLEADERS ... For the traditional Little Brown Jug assembly, the cheerleaders presented a skit entitled “0-0-Cougar”. One part of the wild plot called for the Clifton Mountaineer to attempt entrance into Heaven. 12 He was naturally refused, for such an unsavory character would not be fit company for Cougar angels Karen Ents- minger and Penny Burks. WHAT MAKES CHS UNDERSTAND? . . . Mr. Walker explains the titration of an acid and a hydroxide to John Boone and Jerry Meadows. What makes CHS different from the thou- sands of other public high schools in the United States? CHS is special . . . first of all, because of its people: capa- ble teachers who, while they are demanding, are also kind, and students whom we know and call our friends, . . . because even the classes, similar at least in name to those of other schools, are, hap- pily, interesting as well as challenging. . . . because of its activities which produce a school spirit which lasts through the years. Sharing the interests of clubs and the ex- citement of sports is a sure way of creating enduring friendships. Other schools have much the same ele- ments, but to the 670 students who go to school here, CHS is unique. And we think we know what these people would say if they were asked, “bT iat makes CHS?” T-W-E-E-T! . . . The shrill blast of the whistle summons the girls in Mrs. White’s physical education classes to line up for exercises. PORTRAIT OF A PEDAGOGUE . . . Teachers don’t spend all their time talking. Here, Mr. Hayslett listens intently as a student expresses his view. ‘What Makes CHS?” “Well, one of the first things you think of is the teachers. Of course, you have to have a building, and some rules and school books. But books are just things full of words— and words can be pretty dull and un- interesting unless you have an enthusiastic teacher. And rules without sympathetic administrators can be pretty impersonal. At CHS the teachers not only in- struct, but they also understand, counsel and encourage the students. 14 THE SUPERVISORS . . . Miss Lillian Alexander, supervisor of instruction for the city schools, and Mr. Beazley are respon- sible for seeing that every child in the system has the best possible oppor- tunity for a good educa- tion. Superintendent Beazley Makes Key Decisions Mr. William R. Beazley, superintendent of Covington schools, is the man who is ultimately responsible for the administration of the city school system. Working in conjunction with the school board, Mr. Beazley makes the major de- cisions concerning school policies as well as rel- atively minor but important ones having to do with the operation of the schools. One of the latter type which is of immediate concern to students is the cancelling of school due to in- clement weather and setting the time that missed days will be made up. Among the duties of Mr. Beazley having the greatest consequence is that of interviewing all prospective teachers before they are hired, in- cluding those for Covington High School. He strives to maintain a high level of talent and ability among the school’s teaching staff be- cause they have such a critical role in making CHS. William R. Beazley, B.S., M.S., V.P.I. University of Virginia; Superintendent of Schools. 16 Mr. Heretick Makes CHS Active, Well-run School Mr. Heretick’s office is the co-ordinating point and ‘clearing house’ for most of the school’s activities, both scholastic and extracurricular. He serves as a sort of ‘Supreme Court’ in disciplinary problems, and he is always willing to listen to the delinquent’s point of view before passing judgment. He works with the school board and Mr. Beazley in advising curriculum changes and recommending the re-hiring of teachers. He also tries to see that Covington High School has the best and most modern teaching methods and ma- terials available. In addition to this myriad of official duties to which he must attend, Mr. Heretick donates his time and energy to after-school activities. An enthusiastic sup- porter, he attends virtually all of the athletic events, both here and away. One of his “pet projects’’ is the coaching of the endmen and interlocutor for the Min- strel. The proof of this particular ‘pudding’ is in the laughs his proteges receive at the performances. Mr. Heretick personifies the spirit that is Covington High School, and perhaps more than any other one in- dividual, he helps make CHS. John S. Heretick, B.A., M.A., St. Mary’s University, University of Virginia; Princi- pal. PAPERWORK . . . Running a school requires attention to business matters. There are bills to pay, equipment to order, bookkeeping to be checked. Mr. Heretick and his secretary Mrs. Humphries run an efficient office. 17 HOOKY PLAYER’S ANATHEMA . . . Someone is absent and Mr. Persing’er is calling ' to find out ■why. Munford T. Persinger, Jr. B.S.. M.Ed., Virginia Polytechnic Institute University of Virginia; Assistant principal; Sen- ior Math. Mr. Persinger Has Many Tasks Mr. Persinger is the man we see if we have missed school. If the excuse is valid, no one could be more polite ; however, if the reason is somewhat shaky, he’s justifiably difficult to convince. Just knowing that he often phones to check on absen- tees is a deterrent to truancy. In addition to keep- ing the attendance registers for the entire school and issuing admission slips for classes, Mr. Per- singer also teaches two math classes. Fall and spring find him distributing and receiving the hundreds of books in the volunteer book rental system. Throughout the year he is the “ticket man.” It is he who is responsible for the sale of tickets to virtually all of the CHS extra-curricular activities — minstrel, football, basketball and base- ball games. Mr. Persinger is indeed a busy man. Mrs. H.’ Said Indispensable Every student and every teacher at CHS_ knows Mrs. Humphries, the school secre- tary, for she “runs the office.” If you want to find someone, buy a pencil, or get a band- aid, you see her. She types letters, checks, absentee lists and makes the announce- ments over the inter-com. She is the one who contacts substitute teachers, keeps the financial records of the school and is per- sonal secretary to Mr. Heretick. Because she does so many things for so many people, Mrs. Humphries is probably the one indis- pensable person at CHS. Mrs. Ernestine Humphries Secretary INTERRUPTED . . . Still pleasant, Mrs. Humphries stops her typ- ing long enough to listen to one more request. 18 Guidance Counselors Give Expert Advice The function of the guidance department is to help every student make the best possible ad- justment to school. When he enters CHS, each student is assigned to a counselor who, each year, helps him to select the subjects he needs to prepare for his future vocation as well as those required for high school graduation. Since the student stays with the same coun- selor throughout his high school days, the two build rapport and work together to match the right job or college with the right student. Even after he graduates, it is through the counseling department that the alumnus maintains his link with his Alma Mater. Helen H. Thomas, B.S., M.A. Lonffwood College, Columbia University, Uni- versity of Virginia; Guid- ance; Student Council. “BUT WHICH ONE? . . . Miss Thomas, guidance counselor, and senior Gwen Cooke look through the Blue Book to se- lect the college which will best suit Gwen. THE ‘GUIDING LIGHTS’ . . . The guidance counselors Miss Thomas, Mrs. Cvizic, Mrs. White, Mrs. Curfman and Mr. Fitzgerald help students arrange class schedules. They also give advice when they are asked and always listen with understanding. 19 English Dept. Sponsors Forensic Activities “LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION” . . . Mrs. Snead shows a film on Walt Whitman to her English IVA class. “OPEN YOUR BOOKS TO PAGE 268.” Mrs. Stone teaches eighth and ninth grade English and obviously enjoys almost every minute of it. FORENSICS SPONSORS . . . English teachers Mr. Hub- hard, Mrs. Snead, Mrs. Stone, Miss Drewry, Mrs. Whiteside, Mrs. Stuart and Mr. Hayslett sponsored the various forensic 20 activities for the year. Mrs. Whiteside is the head sponsor for all the activities. Mrs. Ruth C. Cvizic, B.S., M.Ed. Concord Col- lege, University of Vir- ginia; Head of Depart- ment; English V, VA, Journalism, Counselor; PUFFS AND PATCH- ES. Raymond E. Hayslett, B.S., Concord College; English IIIA, VA; Key Club.

Mrs. Jane Whiteside, B.A. Radford College, English IV, Business English; 8th grade Sponsor; Forensics Club. Verbal Skills Emphasized In this modern age of rockets and advanced space technology, no skill is more basic than that of communicating thoughts and ideas. At CHS it is the aim of the English department to incul- cate in every student the art of communicating with words, wheth- er they be read, written or heard. In the eighth, ninth and tenth grades, teachers stress gram- matical usage, sentence and paragraph construction as well as works of worthwhile authors. Junior English courses include the writing of research papers and short stories and the reading of early and recent American literature. Seniors concentrate on Eng- lish literature and do creative and expository writing. Business English prepares the would-be secretary to be knowledgeable and accurate in her use of the English language. “ET TU, BRUTE?” ... Mr. Hubbard leads a discussion in his sophomore English class. 21 Social Studies Classes Examine Past And Francis J. “Boodie” Al- bert, Jr., B.S., Notre Dame; World Geogra- phy; Head football coach; Wrestling coach; Boys’ Monogram Club. Richard B. Linkenhoker, B. A., Carson - Newman College; U.S. History, Social Studies I. “ANY QUESTIONS?” . . . Mrs. Van Osdol pauses to see if the class has any questions before continuing the lesson. A LESSON IN DATES . . . CHS students are acquainted with two kinds of dates; here, Mrs. Thomas puts on the board the history type. Mrs. Catherine C. Thom- as, B.S., Madison Col- lege; U. S. History, Bi- ology; Junior Class Sponsor; FNA. Mrs. Wilsie M. Van Osdol, A.B., Marshall University; World His- tory, Government. 22 Present Civilizations The Covington High School social studies depart- ment stresses the value of learning about the past as well as of studying contemporary issues and situations. Classes in United States history and government are required of every student, and those who plan to attend college must take world history as well. What has happened in the past has direct influence on what is happening today. At Covington High the people realize that what hap- pens in our nation and in the world affects the school and, in a sense, helps make CHS. “NOW, PEOPLE” . . . Although Mrs. Parker’s senior gov- ernment classes are usually serious, there are time that everyone just has to laugh. STUDENTS’ NEMESIS . . . Though homework is the bane of a student’s existence, Mr. Linkenhoker manfully assigns it anyway. 23 Math Encourages Abstract Reasoning And Miss Maude E. Maha- ney, B.A., Westhampton College, University of Pennsylvania, Columbia University; Head of De- partment; Plane and Solid Geometry, Ad- vanced Mathematics; Cafeteria Manager. Mrs. Louise V. Curfman, B.S., Longwood College, University of Florida; Algebra 11, General Sci- ence; Future Teachers of America. “ANY QUESTIONS?” . . . When Richard Bow- yer has a problem with a math problem, he seeks the expert advice of Mrs. Friel. Mrs. Edna A. Friel, B.A. Bridgewater College, University of Virginia; Math III. MATHEMATICAL MIX- UPS . . . Confusing though they may be, fractions must be mastered. Mrs. Ives carefully explains the basic equivalents of Vz to a class of eighth graders. Concrete Application Mrs. Edith W. Noel, B.A., Mary Washington College; Algebra I, Com- mercial Math. SPACE GEOMETRY . . . No, Miss Mahaney isn’t play- ing catch. She is lecturing on spheres and hemispheres. Mrs. Margaret F. Ives, B.A., Lynchburg Col- lege, R. P. L; Math I A. STEP BY S TEP . . . Mrs. Noel takes time to explain a new concept thoroughly to be certain that her students understand completely. For graduation, students must earn at least three credits in mathematics. The required courses (Math I, or I A and II A) include a study of the history of our present number system and how it evolved from the ancient ones. Bases other than 10 are intro- duced, and eighth graders discover that it is from the Babylonians, who used the base of 60, that we get the number of minutes in an hour and the de- grees in a circle. The new concepts introduced in eighth or ninth grade prepare the college-bound student for algebra. Modern algebra clarifies and broadens old ideas in math ; however, it also intro- duces new concepts which encourage reasoning and discovery. With his ability to appreciate the ab- stract in math acquired in Algebra I and II, the student next moves toward plane and solid geome- try and finally to advanced algebra and trigonome- try. General students concentrate on the concrete rather than the abstract, and aftef the first two years of general study, they may choose either commercial or senior math. The strength of the math department helps make CHS the first-rate school it is. 25 o • ' c z JxzXf ' y ' j Harriet C. Hepler, B.S., M.S.; R.P.I.

CHS Scientists Begin Simply Through laboratory experiments, special sci- ence projects, and courses in general science, biology, chemistry, and physics, the teachers in the Science Department are able to stimulate the inquiring minds of their students. To insure that graduates of CHS are better equipped to meet the demands placed upon them in the ever-changing scientific world, school of- ficials have set certain standards that must be met before graduation. All students are required to take at least two years of scientific study, beginning with earth science. However, most students elect to take at least one more, biology, and all college-bound people take chemistry as well. Those whose inclinations are toward tech- nical fields also take physics. 26 General Science To Physics Is Study Range Thomas W. Robertson, B.S.; Lincoln Memorial University, Syracuse University; Head of de- partment; Biology; JV Basketball coach; As- sistant football coach. INVESTIGATION . . . Mr. Shaw and members of the physics class are experi- menting to find the rela- tionship between force, mass, and acceleration. 27 Foreign Languages Fulfill Diploma Requirement OLD ROME ... To make her classes more interesting, Miss Drewry uses many audio- visual aids such as this slide of the Coliseum she took when she toured Italy. Lois A. Drewry, B.S., Madison College, Uni- versity of Virginia; Lat- in I and II; English IIA; JCL. Mrs. Alicia Plott, B.S., Radford College; Span- ish I and II, Physical Education; Spanish Club. Latin, Spanish Are Offered For a student to obtain a college preparatory di- ploma, he must have two years of a foreign language. To fulfill this requirement, the Covington High School student may choose between Spanish and Latin. Miss Lois Drewry teaches Latin I and II. In addi- tion to the expected grammar and translations, the Latin scholars also study the history and culture of the ancient Romans. Spanish also has its share of grammar and trans- lations, but Mrs. Alicia Plott puts just as much em- phasis on conversation. After a short time in Spanish I students can carry on simple conversations, and Spanish II people actually have considerable com- mand of the language. 28 Fine Arts Encourage Creative Students Discovering and developing the talents of the creative individual is the aim of the Fine Arts Department. From the excellence of the perform- ances presented by the music department and the astonishing amount of ability revealed in the art exhibits, it is evident that many CHS students are indeed talented. The students in both vocal and instrumental music who have been singled out for state hon- ors is ample proof that Covington High musi- cians directed by Mrs. Fleshman are both talent- ed and well-trained. Of course, art students work on individual projects, but Mrs. Ervine and her classes work on joint ones as well. They paint the large back- drop for the Minstrel and the murals which cover the sides of the gym for the Christmas Formal and the Prom. In addition to the routine checking in and out of books, the third member of the fine arts group, the librarian Miss Payne, is kept busy catalog- ing new books and ordering the books which teachers from all departments select as necessary and desirable additions to the CHS library. BUDDING MUSICIAN . . . Mrs. Fleshman gives Steve Arritt individual help and encouragement. TOGA-ED TEACHERS . . .

DE, ICT Give Chance For Career Training Distributive Education provides specialized training for persons entering the field of retail or service occupations. The main objective of this program, called DE, is to prepare high school students for permanent employment in the large field of distribution. It involves a combination of classroom instruction for which the student receives school credit, and actual supervised work experience with a local busi- nessman who pays the student for his work. Like the DE program, the Industrial Co-op- operative Training program, or ICT, offers a combination of school credit and part-time em- ployment. Unlike DE, however, ICT is not re- stricted to employment in a single field. These students find employment in diversified areas that this year range from the usual gas station attendant to the somewhat less usual appren- tice radio and television repairman and typeset- ter for the local newspaper. Students in both classes may participate in the programs for as many as three years — in grades ten through twelve — and receive as many as six units toward graduation. Often the employer-employee relationship has been so mu- tually satisfactory that the student continues his work on a full-time basis after his graduation. “NOTICE THE WORKMANSHIP” . . . Mr. Rose grades him as Pat Knighton gives a talk to his DE class on the art of selling. 30 Commercial Department Gives Job Preparation The primary purpose of the Commercial Depart- ment is to provide job preparation for those stu- dents who will be entering the commercial world immediately after graduation. During the first three years of high school, the potential commercial student may follow either the college preparatory or the general track of study ; however, to receive a commercial diploma, a student must take two years of typing and shorthand, and one year each of bookkeeping, commercial math, and business English. To better prepare their students for the diversity of business jobs, Mrs. Clarke and Miss Jones also give instruction in the use of business machines such as duplicators, electric calculators, and dictating machines. Students not in the commercial track are given the chance to learn the valuable skill of typing. Miss Jones teaches classes in general typing, designated Typing lA and IIA, to differentiate them from the more demanding commercial typing. Students from the general track take typing, but it is the college preparatory students who really jam the classes because they have visions of the reports and term papers that will have to be typed. By serving stu- dents from all tracks, the commercial teachers help make CHS students better prepared for the future. Mrs. Mary E.

Mrs. Clarke’s shorthand lesson may seem foreign to many people, but it is quite intelligible to tbe members of her class. 31 “AND THIS LITTLE GIZMO . . Miss Jones dem- onstrates the workings of a mimeograph machine. Home Ec., Industrial Arts Give Useful Skills Home Ec. Is A Popular Course Among CHS Girls Many girls at CHS elect to take at least one year of home economics. In the first year students learn the rudiments of sewing, cooking, child care and the gracious way to entertain. In the more advanced classes the girls progress to more complicated reci- pes and to tailoring, upholstering, and making slip- covers for furniture, as well as tasteful home deco- rating. Sawdust Flies in “Shop” The industrial arts courses at CHS cover a range of three subjects: mechanical drawing, architectur- al drawing, and woodworking. Students interested in engineering often elect to take mechanical draw- ing and architectural drawing as preparation for their chosen vocations. Woodworking, on the other hand, is valuable for any boy as a hobby, if not as actual preparation for a vocation. PRECISION COUNTS . . . Randy Pritt and Ricky Cooke ork painstakingly to complete a mechanical drawing assignment. GLASS ON THE RIGHT . . . Mrs. Hall shows her girls the proper way to set a table. Mrs. Mamie B.

Mr. Stone kibbutzes as Pam Early and Regina McFadden do the typically male job of changing a tire. Driver Ed., Reading Are Valuable Electives YOU’RE IMPROVING . . . Mrs. Blankenship checks Steven Tucker’s progress in reading improvement. The actual behind-the-wheel-driving portion of driver’s education is taught by Mr. Stone. More than almost anything else, fifteen and sixteen year olds want to drive. Their parents want them to learn to drive safely and well, and to be able to take advantage of the lowered in- surance rates for professionally-taught young drivers; therefore, students flock to sign up for driver’s ed. Another practical course at CHS is the one in reading taught by Mrs. Blankenship. A stu- dent who has a reading problem in either speed or comprehension may ask to take the course or his counselor may suggest his taking it. Mrs. Virginia W.

Physical Fitness Is Aim In addition to playing basketball, bad- minton, and volleyball, the girls’ physi- cal education classes also include a com- prehensive study of health, first-aid, and the classroom instruction for driver’s training, Mrs, White and Mrs, Plott also use a record entitled, “Go, You Chicken Fat, Go!” to add an element of fun and keep the girls moving from one strenu- ous exercise to another. Given a physi- cal fitness test at the beginning of the year, the girls are also carefully checked at the end of the year to ascertain the amount of progress each one has made. Generally following the same course outlines as that used by the girls’ phys. ed. teachers, Mr. Ergenbright and Mr. O’Conner add touch football to the games played by the boys. Required of all students in grades eight through ten, physical education makes CHS students healthy, if not nec- essarily wealthy or wise. 34 Mrs. Margaret H.

Armed with hockey sticks, arms, and legs, the tenth grade girls’ physical education classes battle a play-off game of field hockey after school. 35 Service Groups Work In Office and Library There are two groups of girls at CHS who vol- unteer to give up a study period to perform a school service. One group is the library staff, and these girls carry out the routine, but nonetheless essen- tial, tasks of recording the daily absentee list, tak- ing lunch menus and notices to teachers, and run- ning off master sheets on the duplicator. The other service group is the library staff. These girls work during different periods and as- sist Miss Payne in checking books in or out, stamp- ing library passes, and writing out reminder slips for students who have overdue books. Members of the staff also help to catalog new books which come into the library. LIBRARY STAFF ... Jo Ann Spencer, Shirley Redman.

Mrs. Larue and Staff See That Students Are Well-fed Everyone at CHS knows the ‘cafeteria ladies,’ for CHS students really eat. Moving at a purposeful pace through the line, students may select the food they want from an assortment of sandwiches, hot rolls, vegetables, salads and desserts. Miss Mahaney is the financial manager of the cafeteria, but Mrs. Larue and her staff do the actu- al planning of menus and preparing of food. Most students agree that they prefer selecting exactly what they want to eat rather than having to buy a plate lunch. Theoplous Martin W.

Students are better acquainted with the day staff, for they are the folks who produce needed supplies or fix something that is broken. However, long after students, and even teachers, are gone. the ‘night men’ are cleaning and setting the build- ing to rights for the next day. People who some- times return to work at night or to attend a school function, find the evening staff to be as kindly and cooperative as the day staff. 37 TYPICAL CHS STUDENT ...

The kids at CHS are special, though, because we know them and they are our friends. Pret- ty generally the students are an alert and energetic bunch.

Sometimes there is one student who is ‘head and shoulders’ above everyone else in the class ; then the choice is obvious. However, it is more often the case that there are sev- eral very fine students taking the subject. When there is more than one possible selec- tion, averages are calculated to three deci- mal places and class participation, consist- ency of work, etc., become factors. To be labeled ‘superior,’ a student must have an average of at least 93 in the subject. In ad- dition, if the instructor teaches more than one section of the same subject, his choice for recognition is the one student he con- siders best from among all the classes. If there is no one in his classes whom the teacher considers entirely worthy of the honor, he simply does not name anyone. That is the reason that some subjects are not represented in this group of scholasti- cally superior underclassmen whose ability and attitude toward their work help make CHS the fine school it is.

These are the ones singled out by their teachers to be labeled “senior superlatives.” To be so honored, the student must be outstanding in the subject field, not just the best among mediocre students. He must display a real understanding of the subject matter, not just indi- cate that he has crammed well for exams. His work must have been of consistently high calibre through- out the year. Although the rules for naming superior students set up by the school state that the person singled out for honors must have an average of at least 93, teachers of senior subjects usually refuse to nomi- nate anyone whose average is below 95. Because of their high standards, it is not unusual for teachers to decline to name a “superlative” in their subject. Without exception, these are the seniors who were never content with “just getting by.” They, and the others like them who have the same atti- tude toward their work, are the kind of students who make CHS.

Under the guidance of head coach Boodie Albert, who also headed the famed 1950 undefeated squad, the CHS gridmen displayed a real kind of skill and walked off with the Blue Ridge District Cham- pionship. For assistant coaches Bo O’Conner, Tommy Robertson, and Pete Ergenbright, the 1965 season was especially rewarding for it was their first undefeated one. A winning team is ideally just that — a team, a cohesive group which puts forth a concerted effort to do its best. However, as well as the 1965 squad performed as a team, it did have its stand-out players. Line-backer David White- head, who captured the Cougar record for tack- les (186), was named to the All-State second team.

One of the oldest continuous rivalries in the state, the Clifton Forge and Covington gridiron battle for the Little Brown Jug trophy is the highlight of the football season for both schools. 88 CHS Wins Jug 31-6 Bob and Ron Win Awards The most exciting game of the football season is the one with Clifton Forge High School. One of the oldest continuing rivalries in the state, the feel- ing of competition has been especially keen since 1937 when the Brown Jug was introduced. The small brown earthenware jug is itself unprepossess- ing, but it is probably the most treasured trophy at CHS. This year the game was played at Clifton Forge, and by 7 o’clock, the stands were already packed with exuberant fans. Despite the apparently one- sidedness of the 31-6 score, the chilly fans were re- warded with an exciting game. Since the game is the “really big” one in this area, it has prompted much interest among the citizens of both towns. The local radio station pre- sents awards to the two players selected as most valuable in the Jug game. A committee, whose iden- tities are not revealed, do the selecting. This year the awards presented by WKEY went to lineman Ron Holloway and back Bob Menefee. Also presented at the special post-Clifton pep rally was the “Mr. Misty All-American Award” do- nated by Mr. Jack Casto. This award recognizes the players who have been ‘most valuable to the team’ throughout the season. By coincidence, the winners were also Menefee and Holloway. BEST AGAINST CLIFTON . . .

Keeping pace with the varsity in the area rivalries, the young Cougars preserved the honor of Covington High by twice downing the junior varsities from both Alleghany County High School and Clifton Forge High School. Guided by coach Joe Linkenhoker, the JV team showed battling skill in their offense and grim de- termination in protecting their own goal. Scoring more than double the number of points accumu- lated by their opponents, the ‘little Cougars’ give every indication that, after they have gained size and experience, they will become fierce and deter- mined ‘big Cougars.’ FIGHTIN’ COU- GAR . . .

Although never able to beat the state champs from Clifton Forge, the Cougar cagers twice trounced Alleghany County, the other lo- cal rival. The team improved with each game and finished the regular season with a 14-4 record. For the fine season Coach Bo O’Conner re- lied heavily on the “Big Three’’ — Jim McClung, Ron Holloway, and Bob Huffman. McClung led the scorers with an average of 22 points per game while Ron Holloway was the leading re- bounder of the CHS five. Tall Bob Huffman gained his position as one of the big guns by being both a consistent scorer and an effective rebounder. Without the cool-headed ballhandling skill of playmaker Rob Carpenter, not even the “Big Three’’ could have been so successful. Bill Hepler, a senior playing his first year of var- sity ball, and reserve Horace Cooke rounded out the Cougar stars. Winning the Blue Ridge tournament enabled CHS to go to the regional tournament. There they advanced to the finals where they were edged o ut by the Bulldogs of Martinsville. ARRESTED MOTION . . . Ron Holloway demon- strates the artistry of motion that makes a bas- ketball star.

Drawing a “by” on the first night, the CHS team downed the group from Liberty High with a 65-60 score in the semi-finals. Their worries about meeting Northside in the finals proved groundless, for they handily de- feated the Vikings 66-43. CHS principal Mr. John Heretick, director of the Blue Ridge tournament, was justifiably proud when he handed coach Bo O’Conner the winner’s trophy. Next, the Cougar team journeyed to Blacksburg for the regional tournament played in the V.P.I. Coliseum. In the semi-final game they downed Narrows 62-54, and in that game Jim McClung hit the 1000th point of his high school career. In the finals Covington was faced with the team from Martinsville, and the Bulldogs edged out the Cougars 64-62 to become the regional champs. JUBILATION ...

Junior Varsity Has Successful Season Record of 14 Wins, 4 Losses Is Same As Varsity Tally The Junior Varsity basketball squad, com- posed of freshmen and sophomores, equaled the efforts of the varsity and also ended their sea- son with a 14-4 record. Bested in both encount- ers with Staunton and Northside, Coach Tommy Robertson’s little Cougars defeated every other team on their schedule both at home and away. Perhaps the highlight of the JV season was the handy disposal of the Colts from Alleghany High by scores of 53-31 in the first encounter and 56-12 in the second game played by the two teams. The little Cougars also proved too much for the young Mountaineers from Clifton Forge, for the Mounties went under by scores of 47-44 and 60-37. The high scorer of the season was sophomore Jerry Garrett, but Bill Hodges and Willie Coles were also outstanding. Thus the junior varsity as well as the varsity had its ‘Big Three.’ JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL STATISTICS Cougars Opponent 50 Roanoke Catholic 37 52 Cave Springs 40 48 Liberty 22 34 Staunton 41 53 Alleghany 31 68 Lord Botetourt 16 41 Staunton 65 47 Clifton Forge 44 36 William Byrd 30 52 Liberty 37 56 Alleghany 12 50 Cave Springs 46 37 Northside 40 45 Roanoke Catholic 31 60 Clifton Forge 37 51 Lord Botetourt 18 27 Northside 38 54 William Byrd 38 Won 14 — Lost 4 96 Little Cagers Led by Garrett, Hodges, Coles CLEAR SAILING . . .

Individuals Star On Wrestling Team Cougar grapplers, coached by Boodie Albert, won only three of their eight matches with other schools, but wres- tling is actually a sport of individuals, and there were some brilliant wrestlers on the CHS squad. David Whitehead ended the season with seven wins while being defeated only once. Adding to his fine record is the fact that all of his vic- tories came by way of pins rather than decisions. Duplicating David’s record of wins and losses was Tommy Walker. Of his seven wins, four were pins and three were de- cisions. Walker also has the distinction of making a faster pin than any other man on the squad. He rendered one op- ponent helpless in a speedy twenty-nine seconds. Other quick-pin artists are Cecil Dressier, who downed a rival in thirty-two seconds, and Gary Walker who subdued his man in fifty-seven seconds. READY AND WAITING . . .

Baseball Team Is Up and Down The 1966 CHS baseball season was one of ups and downs. The heavy-hitting Cougars, who could never seem to get the pitching, fielding, and hitting working together, fin- ished the season with a respectable 8-6 record. With the exception of the team from Cave Spring, the unpredictable Covington nine beat every other team on the schedule at least once. One of the highlights of the season was the 17-2 trouncing the Cougars gave Liberty High School of Bedford. The Minutemen of Liberty went on to beat Covington 3-1 in the district tournament held here at Casey Field and become the champions of Blue Ridge Dis- tract. Another highlight was the two-hitter Billy Harold pitched against arch-rival Clifton Forge. The Cougar mound corps was led by sophomore Emory Snead whose 3-1 record exceeded Coach Ergenbright’s ex- pectations, and by strong-armed Jim McClung who ended the season with a 4-2 record. Leading the batters were torrid-hitting Rob Carpenter who smacked the ball to a .410 average, and late-starting Tony Munsey whose average was .348 at the season’s end. “Ace” Carpenter, Tony Munsey, Jim McClung, and Billy Harold were named to the All-Area first team, while Eddie Carter and Bob Huffman gained honorable mention.

Still limited in the num- ber of schools with which they compete, the Cougar trackmen were able to gain victories over Alleghany County and James River before losing to Northside and Lord Botetourt. In a tri-meet with Alleghany and Clifton Forge, Covington High came in last. In the district meet held at Cave Spring, Bob Menefee placed second in the 220, and the mile relay team, composed of David Whitehead, Jimmy Hoover, Billy Hepler, and Jerry Wolfe, placed third. CHS athletes who earned letters in track were seniors Bob Menefee, Billy Hepler and Doug Smith ; junior David Whitehead; and sophomores Danny Taylor and Mike Mahaney. HERE HE COMES! . . .

These girls are an important part of the football and basketball seasons, for they organize the stu- dents’ raw enthusiasm into a cheering section. With the aid of their sponsor Mrs. White, the girls are constantly devising ways to increase school spirit. At one nighttime pep rally, they sponsored a “car smash.” And the students always look forward to the novel skits they present at the special assembly prior to the “Brown Jug” football game as well as the “Sadie Hawkins” dance they hold on that big- game weekend. Girls compete for the title of cheerleaders at a special assembly in the spring, and their fellow students select them by ballot. 106 JUNIOR-VARSITY CHEERLEADERS . . . Vicki Rosencrance, Jean Scott (kneeling). Marsha Miller, Renee George (captain), Linda Rothwell. 8th and 9th Graders Are J.V. Cheerleaders From the many girls who try out, a commit- tee — composed of faculty members, representa- tives from the eighth and ninth grade home- rooms and varsity cheerleaders — selects two eighth graders and three ninth graders to be junior-varsity cheerleaders. These girls lead the cheering at all of the JV football and basketball games, inspiring the same enthusiasm and school spirit as do the varsity cheering squad. Their sponsor, Mrs. Gay Parker, puts them through the same rigors of practice that their varsity counterparts go through. The JV’s use the same cheers as do the older cheerleaders, but they use different motions. BEAT THE COLTS! ... At the nighttime pep rally before the Alleghany game, the varsity cheerleaders whip up the ol’ Cougar spirit. 107 THE EDITOR . . .

Activities ‘ What makes CHSr “I guess rd have to say something about the activi- ties you take part in. You know, like the clubs you belong to and the projects they have. If you belong to a club you’re with a lot of kids who like the same things you do, and that way you get to know people and you make a lot of friends.” 108 109 EXECUTIVE BOARD . . .

Each Monday at the be- ginning of the allotted period, every member of the S.C. longs to hear president Rob Carpenter’s announcement, “There will be a meeting of the Student Council in the cafeteria immediately.” Belonging to S.C. Is Honor One of the greatest honors a CHS student can aspire to is membership on the Student Council. Its eminence lies in that every council member is elected by his fellow students to represent them and to act as their official spokesman at the council meetings. However, responsibility and work accompany this honor, for each SCA member must do his share in executing the duties of, and participating in, the activities of the council. A rotating duty is the daily raising and lowering of the flag, and some school regu- lations, such as running i n the halls and break- ing into the cafeteria line are also in the hands of this organization. To enrich their treasury and finance their spring banquet, the SCA sponsors the Christmas Formal, and this year they gained additional funds when Judy Cunningham, Brenda Seyglin- ski, and Bruce Schaule appeared on “Klassroom Kwiz,” a student quiz program presented by a Roanoke television station. Separate from their treasury is the Flower Fund to which every student in school contributes a dime. In the case of serious personal illness or a death in the family of a student, flowers are sent to him from this fund. 1 10 SCA Takes The Role of Government at CHS SCA OFFICERS . . .

To be tapped for mem- bership, a student must have a scho- lastic average of at least ninety, and he must maintain an eighty-eight average in order to remain a mem- ber. Sponsored by Mr. Hubbard, the present Beta Club, which numbers twenty-eight, is the largest in many years. An activity which served as both a money-making project and a school service one was the sale of paperback books. The assortment of books, ranging from classics and references to light mysteries, was kept in the office. Each meml3er took his turn, either before or after school or dur- ing his study hall, at being a book- store operator. On March 19, Brenda Seyglinski and Mary Buckingham attended the state Beta Convention held in Roa- noke. BETA OFFICERS . . .

I 12 Key Club Performs Community Services Affiliated with Kiwanis International, the Key Club at CHS has gained recognition through its service to the city of Covington. Its twenty members were chosen because of their good character, their ability to maintain high scho- lastic averages, their qualities of leadership, and their potential contributions to the school and community. Under the leadership of president Stacey Mor- ris, the club donated a portion of their treasury to the Red Cross for baskets to the needy. Sev- eral members solicited contributions for the Heart Fund. Other activities included cleaning the Red Cross basement and attending various Kiwanis meetings. A calendar sale in April sup- plemented the Key Club funds. On the weekend of March 11, Mr. Hayslett, the Key Club Sponsor, and ten members attend- ed the capitol District Convention in Norfolk, where the new governor of the Capitol District was elected.

Tri-Hi- Y Encourages Christian Attitude “Clean speech, clean sportsmanship, clean schol- arship, clean living.” These are the aims of a Tri- Hi-Y member. After joining the Tri-Hi-Y, a girl is obligated to “create, maintain, and extend through- out the home, school, and community high standards of Christian character.” Under the leadership of Mrs. Mary Clarke and Mrs. Gay Nell Parker, the Tri-Hi-Y participates in such projects as preparing Thanksgiving baskets for needy families and contributing funds to the Red Cross to be used for stocking gifts for the patients in the Roanoke Veterans Hospital at Christ- mas. In April, the girls sold Easter lilies for the Virginia Society for Crippled Children. In order to create high standards at school, the Tri-Hi-Y presents devotions over the P.A. system every morning and displays a “Thought For the Week” on a bulletin board in the cafeteria. It also sponsors a “Hootenanny Hop” every year after mid- term exams in January. In November, most of the girls in the club at- tended the Valley district conference in Charlottes- ville. The noteworthy event of the year for all Tri-Hi-Y clubs in Virginia is the Model General Assembly in Richmond. MGA teaches young people about the workings of our government. Represen- tatives from CHS were Kathy Kern (Senator) and Margie Clarke (Representative). The climax of the year comes in May when the annual spring banquet is held. At this dinner, the officers for the coming year are installed. TRI-HI-Y OFFICERS . . .

Future Teachers Observe Elementary Classes Sponsored by Mrs. Louise Curfman, the Covington High School chapter of the Fu- ture Teachers of America has a membership of thirty-two students who plan to enter the teaching profession. The regular monthly meetings, held after school in a classroom, were highlighted by panel discussions and guest speakers. The junior and senior mem- bers of the FTA spent an interesting day in the local elementary schools observing teaching practices. This fall the CHS chapter was represent- ed at the state convention in Richmond by Candy Kenny, Rita Landis and Janet Foster. FTA OFFICERS . . .

Danny Mappus, Karen Entsminger, Linda Calehuff; right: Cecilroy Pettus, Bruce Schaule, Judy Henning. Sponsor Tells of PUFFS PATCHES Staff Following a precedent started last year, I am writing the copy for this page. Everyone may read it, but it is designed for the 1966 staff : Thirteen students comprised this year’s PUFFS AND PATCHES staff. None of the three seniors and ten juniors had had any previous experience so that my own contribution was requiring that so many things that were done, were re-done ; and then often done again. Although there were editors of various sections, things seemed to work out better after special tal- ents were uncovered and everyone pitched in to help everybody else. For instance, Linda Calehuff emerg- ed as the best picture juggler in the lot; therefore, she helped other editors with their lay-outs. Karen Entsminger and Cecilroy Pettus were pretty self- sufficient, and Karen managed the club section and ‘Cece’ his student section virtually alone, except for the staff who identified the people. Of course, it was also little Karen who constantly asked, “Has it been indexed?’’ Without the efficiency of Danny Mappus and his ad salesmen (again, everybody), there could have been no book at all. The all-i ' ound “Mr. Reliable” was editor Bruce Schaule who helped everybody with copy and head- lines, kept up with the ladder, and proofed every sing le page. In fact, the only job he never attempted was typing. Space precludes my mentioning all of our thirteen by name, but, to all of you, and especially the “faithful few” who worked so hard even after school was out, a very proud sponsor says a sincere ‘Thank you.’ Ruth C.

It strives to create more interest and understanding in the intelligent choosing of a business occupation. The girls belonging to FBLA are all commercial students who plan a business career after they graduate. The seventeen members have the experienced leadership of Miss Beulah Jones, faculty advisor, as well as the patronage of the Cov- ington chapter of the Business and Professional Women’s Club. Money-raising campaigns included the sale of pencils and senior name cards. Most of the club’s funds are spent financing its representative at a workshop at Massanetta Springs, Harrisonburg, in June. Catherine Kemper was this year’s delegate. F.B.L.A. OFFICERS . . .

Under the guidance of faculty sponsor Mrs. Catherine Thomas and the Graduate Nurses Club, this organization furnishes an opportunity for interested girls to explore the many aspects of nursing. This year the future nurse assisted with the den- tal and hearing clinics at the school, cheered invalids at Christmas, and visited the Health Department to learn about public health. Films and guest speakers provided the girls with information and entertain- ing insights into the field. For its work in the 1965 Cancer Drive, the club was awarded a certifi- cate by the local chapter of the American Cancer Society. FNA OFFICERS . . .

It endeavors to give the members some understanding of the debt of our own culture to that of classical antiquity. Programs consisting of films, discussions and displays of various facets of Roman life are pre- sented each month. In April Teresa Knibb and Todd Friel went to Roanoke College where they competed with other JCL mem- bers in this division in the Latin tournament exam. The most noteworthy social event of the year is a banquet held in the spring. It is Roman in mood and togas are often in evidence. LATIN CLUB OFFICERS . . .

The theme for 1966 is “to help individuals to improve per- sonal, family, and community living.” Di- rectly related to the national theme was the project of serving as volunteer babysitters to free parents to go to the polls to vote. Another undertaking was the Christmas party given for underprivileged children. Guided by their sponsor, Mrs. Mamie Hall, th e sixty-four members of FHA learn prac- tical homemaking skills and the art of enter- taining. Highlights of the year’s activity included a Fashion Show in which members modeled ensembles of their own making, and the observance of FHA week. For indi- vidual members there were additional excit- ing events: Brenda Gregory, chapter presi- dent, was an official delegate at the state convention held in Roanoke, and Judy Wood- son made the highest score on the test given by General Mills to win the Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow Award.

Dele- gates from CHS also attend the Virginia Leadei’ship Conference. During the Careers in Retailing Week, DE members assisted local merchants in various promotion schemes and make the spot an- nouncements on the local radio station. Although most of their activities center around their jobs and their study of retail- ing, the people in DE did sponsor a dance after Christmas. D.E. OFFICERS . . .

Senior Fred Martin was named ICT ‘Student of the Year’ for District Vlil, winning over all the other DO members from the schools in the dis- trict. To win this honor, a student must compile the greatest number of points which are based on his scholastic standing, his employer’s rec- ommendation, and his school and community ex- tra-curricular activities. Another CHS winner was James Gibson who won first place in the essay contest and third places in both the display contest (for his ex- hibit on kinds of type styles) and the spelling contest. James Grimes placed third in the cur- rent events contest to add still another tally for CHS. Indicating that there is talent as well as in- dustriousness in the DO club, a guitar trio com- posed of Fred Martin, Randy Ludington, and Charles Goodwin captured the first place honors in the talent portion of the district contest.

Bullfighting is a Spanish sport, but the 70 members of the Spanish Club re- strained themselves this year and limited their activities to the study of Spain, her language, her people, and her customs. The membership is limited to students who take, or have taken, Spanish. Al- though the club is primarily a social one, its meetings do offer experience in using the language, for all the business is con- ducted in Spanish. Since Mrs. Plott, the club sponsor and Spanish instructor, is a native of Puerto Rico, her students have the advantage of hearing the language spoken with an authentic accent. Highlights of the club year included a recognition day in November when the senoritas in the club wore red flowers in their hair and the young senores wore red ties. On that day they could speak only Spanish to each other. In the spring they sponsored a fiesta dance which was enlivened with festive Spanish decora- tions. The year’s activities ended with the presentation of pins to all members and a party for graduating seniors. SPANISH CLUB OFFICERS . . . Kim Brooks, vice-president; Mrs. Alicia R.

Three Members Place In Area Competition The Forensics Club is one of the most re- cently organized clubs at CHS. Although the club is new, it has progressed extensively this year. A number of the group have par- ticipated in various essay contests, public speaking events, and, of course, the district Forensics Meet held in Roanoke in April. The club is divided into subdivisions ac- cording to the groups that make up the dis- trict Forensics Meet. These include debating, prose reading, poetry reading, public speak- ing, and spelling. Bruce Schaule captured first place in the area American Legion public speaking con- test. He represented the Covington-Clifton Forge area in a regional meet held at Lord Botetourt High School. In an essay contest sponsored by the Governor’s Committee on Hiring the Handicapped, Dee Decker claimed fourth place in the state. Climaxing the year’s activities, two rep- resentatives of CHS brought home honors from the Blue Ridge District competition. George Hicks placed third in the Boys’ Poetry Reading contests ; Dee Decker re- ceived a third place also in Boys’ Public Speaking. New Forensics Club Brings Honors to CHS FORENSICS CLUB . . .

CHS Athletes Work to Earn Big “C’s” Forty-Six Eligible for Monogram Club One of the proudest moments of a boy’s high school career is the day he earns a monogram. The monogram means to him, and is evidence to others, that he has been recognized for his par- ticipation in athletics, that he has been faithful in attendance at practice, and has exhibited sportsmanship. Besides the honor of being awai ' ded the letter, the boy becomes eligible for membership in the Boys’ Monogram Club. Perhaps one of the most active clubs at CHS, the 46 members of the Monogram Club sponsor a very successful social event — the Valentine Dance. A week before the dance, the members choose candidates to run for Monogram Queen, and during that week the boys collect penny votes from students. This year, Diane Fraser, spon- sored by Burton Poague, was the winner. Another event sponsored by the “C-Men” is the annual Monogram Picnic. Faculty members are guests at the outing at which club members and their dates enjoy swimming, boating, fishing, hiking and, of course, eating at Douthat State Park. MONOGRAM OFFICERS . . .

At the ceremony, which was planned without the knowledge of Mrs. Fleshman, the members of the band presented her with a bouquet of red roses and a wrist watch as tokens of their appreciation and esteem. To the students in the band, Mrs. Fleshman is the kind of director who earns their respect and ad- miration. She is able to bring out their very best, and she is never too occupied to listen to an idea or problem. Because of their close association, Mrs. Fleshman and the members of the band have become real friends. kenship. Saxophones: Mike McCallister, Barry Rose, Jimmy Lavender, Collie Cox, French Horns: Greg Simpson, Libby Fletcher, Linda Mauck, Janet Griffith, Trombones: Chipper Arritt, Ran- dy Reyns, Larry Griffith, Corbin Anderson, Gary Ayers, Rutledge Ives, Patty Glenn, Mickey Crag- head. Bass Horns: Gloria Downey, Mike Crawford. Majorettes, Drum Major Display Originality Perhaps the most attractive divi- sion of the band is the majorettes. Under the leadership of head major- ette Janet Paxton , these six girls dis- play originality and precision during their performances at football games, pep rallies, and parades. Not so glam- orous as the majorettes, but certainly indispensable, is drum major Ranny Reyns, whose job it is to keep the band in step and playing the right song at the right time. The CHS band has always sounded good, but this year its appearance matches its performance, for the members have brand new unifoi’ms. After four years of fund-raising projects, the dream of new uniforms has become a reality. The brilliant blue and gold positively gleam as the band moves down the field. From the time of the Labor Day parade to the final spring concert, CHS is proud of its versatile, enthusiastic, and newly- attractive band. SURPRISE . . .

Under the direction of Mrs. Nell Fleshman, these students, who share an interest in singing and discovering or improving their talent, assemble every day during fifth period ; however, their activities are not confined to the classroom. A select group from the vocal class, appropriately named the Chapel Choir, sings once a month at the chapel assembly. The entire class presents a Christmas concert on the last day of school prior to the Christmas vacation. Their program is the climax of the holiday season at CHS. In addition to these regular appearances, each year these vocal musicians present the Minstrel, a large-scale production which features students as soloists, chorus members, and comedy per- formers. Last year the class’s performance at the Clif- ton Forge Junior Woman’s Club was so well- received that they were asked to return this spring. In addition, they were also asked to sing for the Civic Music Club, also in Clifton Forge. On the evening of May 17, the local spring concert which featured many contemporary selections was presented in Curtman Hall. Eight members of the vocal class were selected by audition to be a part of the All-State-West Chorus held at Chatham High School. Accom- panied by Mrs. Fleshman, this group spent a weekend there where they rehearsed diligently and then presented a special concert. 133 VIBRANT YOUTH . . . The exuberance of Billy Hepler is typical of the fun-loving students at CHS. Features “What Makes CHS?” “The fun things. You always remember the things you enjoy. There’s the Minstrel and the way everybody looks forward to it, the dances, and the pep rallies. They’re not educational exactly — ‘extra-curricular,’ as the teachers say — but they sure make being a par t of Covington High School a lot of fun.” CAN IT BE TRUE ?... Yes, Covington High School students do actually slow down and dance the “old way,” or at least their version of it. Various Clubs Sponsor Dances; Make CHS Lively CHS students love to dance. Evidence of this is in the attendance at the dances that are held throughout the year. Aside from the two formals, there are the informal dances held in the cafeteria and open to all students. These dances are spon- sored by various organizations. The Tri-Hi-Y Hootenanny Hop is an annual affair held on the night following the last mid- term exam. With the released from tension, everyone is in the mood to dance. Music is pro- vided by the latest pop records, but there are usually some “oldies but goodies” thrown in. Another dance held annually is the Monogram Valentine Dance. The features of this dance are the revelation of the identity of the queen and the presence of a live band. The Forensics Club, a new organization, spon- sored a new-type dance, the Forensics A’ Go Go. Based on a beatnik coffeehouse theme, the dance had many strange outfits in evidence — including some “granny dresses” worn by a few brave girls. LOCOMOTION . . . Linda Jones and Ronnie Waddell are one of the many couples enjoying the Hootenanny Hop. 136 Forensics A’ Go-Go Has Coffeehouse Theme FORENSICS A’ GO GO . . . Sponsored by the newly-formed Forensics Club, this dance was a beatnik affair. (Note the “granny dresses” making their first appearance at CHS). ANCIENT RAIN DANCE ? . . . No, it’s just the energetic students from Covington High having a good time at the Monogram Dance. 137 Jug Pep Rally Brings Mountaineer to Justice Probably the most amusing pep rally of the year, the pre-Brown Jug assembly is one marked with a sense of the strong rivalry between Cov- ington and Clifton Forge High Schools. The cheerleaders presented a real-live swami who made predictions about the dire fate awaiting the Mountaineers. Next, the audience witnessed an example of the Cougar brand of justice. A Moun- taineer (vile creature) was caught trying to steal the Little Brown Jug from its rightful home in the CHS trophy case. Tried with dispatch, he was, naturally, hanged. Having been duly exe- cuted, he applied for entrance to Heaven, and was, of course, rejected. Forced to try the “other place,” the hillbilly found that they didn’t want him there either; however, he was provided with a Lucifer match so that he might start an “after- world” of his own, one entirely appropriate for a Clifton Forge Mountaineer. SWAMI AT WORK . . . Heralded by a horrendous trombone blast from Jo Ellen Reid, Swami Judy Cunningham’s predictions of a Cougar victory turned out to be quite accurate (31-6). ORDER IN THE COURT! . . . Judge Sarah Bayne (complete with wig) de- clares Brown Jug thief (reluctantly played by Billie Plott) to be out of order. Cougar Becky Mau- pin says, “Sit down and shut up! You’re not going to win anyway!” 138 You ‘Come As Y’ Are’ to Sadie Hawkins Dance 1 1 HAYSEEDS HOP . . . CHS students really celebrate at the Sadie Hawkins Dance held the Saturday night after the “Brown Jug” game. Ronnie Waddell Is Lil’ Abner; Billie Plott Is Daisy Mae Sponsored by the Varsity Cheerleading Squad, the Sadie Hawkins Dance is an eagerly anticipated affair at CHS. This dance is a refreshing change from the other dances in that dress is “come as y’ are” (or worse). Also, the girl does the ask- ing and the paying (which certainly pleases the boys). Usually allowed only at the prom, cor- sages are in order ; however, the boys do the wearing, and the girls do the making (usualU out of fruits, vegetables, and anything else that ingenuity can provide). Each of the cheerleaders sponsors a football player to vie for the title of Lil’ Abner, and col- lects penny-votes for him. This year, Ronnie Waddell assumed the role of the celebrated hick. His ace penny-collector, who becomes Daisy Mae, was junior Billie Plott. ROYALTY? . . . Holding the “bouquet” she received as Daisy Mae, cheerleader Billie Plott poses with Lil’ Abner Ronnie Waddell. “Big Daddy” wears his “crown” and the corsage Billie made for him. 139 Becky Maupin Chosen As Homecoming Queen Nominated by their classmates, eight senior girls are selected to run for homecoming queen. At a special assembly, the girls appear in eve- ning dress before the entire student body. Every student has the opportunity to mark his ballot for the girl he would like to see crowned at the half-time ceremony of the homecoming football game, this year played against Liberty High School. After the special performance of the band, eight convertibles came onto the field, each bearing one of the candidates and her escort. After the girls had alighted, the name of the girl selected to be queen was announced. This year the honor went to Becky Maupin. Many alumni look forward to this annual homecoming game and return to CHS to renew old friendships. A nostalgic note is sounded when past and present students join in singing the Alma Mater. To make the 1965 homecoming gratifyingly complete, the Cougars downed the Liberty High Minutemen 18-0. THE QUEEN . . . Miss Lily Albert and Wilbur Smith, president of the Alumni Association, crown Becky Maupin 1965 Home- coming Queen. . . . AND HER COURT . . . .Judy Cunningham, Cheryl Britt, Mary Lee Cooke, Becky Kincaid, Teresa Crawford, Brenda Back, and Sceva Early. 140 SWEETHEART OF MONOGRAM CLUB Queen by former queen Judy Cunningh Morris. Diane Fraser Chosen Chosen by penny-votes collected by members of the Monogram Club, the Monogram Queen is crowned at the club-sponsored Valentine Dance. From the twelve girls chosen to run for the title, Diane Fraser, a junior, was declared this year’s winner. . . . Diane Fraser was crowned Monogram am and Monogram Club president Stacey Monogram Sweetheart A week before the dance, the ‘C-Men’ carry con- tainers and beg or coerce votes for the girls they are sponsoring. Burton Poague sponsored Diane, and runner-up Penny Burks, also a junior, was sponsored by Stacey Morris. 141 Christmastime Is Very Special Time at CHS ‘THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT’ . . . Susan Nichols and Edward Lydiatt take time out from dancing just to look at each other. 142 INTERMISSION . . . These couples use intermission time simply to enjoy one another’s company. ‘Visions of Sugarplums’ Is Theme of Formal The approach of the Christmas season finds CHS in a festive mood. There is the good warm feeling generated by the baskets for the needy that are being filled in each homeroom. Strains of the carols being practiced in the vocal classes fill the halls. Lockers and homeroom bulletin boards are gaily decorated. With thoughts of the impending vaca- tion and the Christmas Formal ‘dancing through their heads,’ students find it hard to concentrate on their studies, although teachers still insist on homework and tests. Some classes are lucky because their current projects go right along with the season. The art students are busy planning and painting the decora- tions for the school’s big winter dance. And, unable to do their conventional work with the gym usurped, the phys ed classes get into the holiday spirit by helping art students to put up the decorations. This year, gingerbread houses and lollipop men adorned the sides of the gym to carry out the dance theme, “Visions of Sugarplums.” 143 SANTA’S LITTLE HELPER . . . Tom Stone adjusts one of the giant candles that lined the bleachers. The Traditional Minstrel Is Part of What Makes CHS “THE AIR WAS FULL OF KITTENS” ... The irrepres- sible endmen lustily sing, “The Cat Came Back.” They are Steve “Bouncer” Vess, Billy “Dishrag” Hodges, Corbin “Snicklefritz” Anderson, Thomas “Doodles” Hern, Gordon “Frogface” Henning and Franklin “Muffin” Roach. GOOD ADVICE . . . Barbara Mappus sings, “Look For The Silver Lining.” “GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN” . . . Inter- locutor Bruce Schaule greets the capacity crowd at the opening of the 1966 Minstrel. REFUSAL ... In the chorus number “Daisy,” Janet Paxton emphatically tells “Dishrag” that there will be no marriapre. “Bouncer” seems totally unmoved. 145 1966 Minstrel Cast SHOWSTOPPER . . . Ronnie Batten ‘brought down the house’ with his rendition of “Oh, You Beautiful Doll.” HIGH STEPPERS . . . Chorus boys Barry Brady, Teddy King, Burnett Crawford, and John Lemons do a dance routine to “Won’t You Come Home, Bill Bailey.” 1 46 Show Has Gay 90’s Mood Seventy voices and a combo burst forth with “Come on Down South,” the traditional opening of CHS Minstrels, and the 1966 ver- sion had begun. The show with its definitely ‘Gay Nineties’ flavor was presented in front of a colorful backdrop designed by David Montgomery and painted by art students under the supervision of Mrs. Mary Ervine. Directed by Mrs. Nell Fleshman, the solo- ists and the chorus sang many songs from the 1890 era, such as “Bird in a Glided Cage,” “Daisy,” and “I Want a Girl,” but there were modern numbers as well, includ- ing Teresa Crawford’s solo, “On A Clear Day.” Using interlocutor Bruce Schaule as their foil, the endmen provided the comedy por- tion of the show. Coached by Mr. Heretick, the endmen, except for Gordon Henning and Steve Vess, were new; however, they told their jokes and ad libbed with aplomb. The versatile dancers did one number, “By The Sea,” dressed in the swaddling style of the nineties, but they also stepped into the era of the ‘roaring twenties’ with a lively Charleston. Even more modern was their opening kick line in their short, bustled cos- tumes, and the military precision they dis- played in the patriotic finale. Jill ilMlf ii IM STRONG MAN . . . “Frog ' face” Henning punctuates his joke by lift- ing all of “Bouncer” Vess, except for his size 13 shoes. 147 PRECISION . . . Dancers Linda Calehuff, Elizabeth Smith, costumes, provided a drill and dance routine to a patriotic Judy Hennins:, Becky Levisay, Sceva Early, Rhonda Cook, medley in the p:rand finale of the Minstrel. Marsha Miller and Geneva Brown, dressed in Uncle Sam 148 SENIOR STAR . . . Teresa Crawford sings the old favorite, “Blues in the Night.” CASEY AND HIS GIRL . . . Following their waltz to the strains of “Straw- berry Blonde,” Mike Mc- Callister makes a sweep- ing bow, and Carol Craft demurely curtsies. Minstrel Is Only Big Musical Production Always the really big show,’ in 1966 the Minstrel was the only major musical production presented at Covington High School. Therefore, a whole year’s en- thusiasm was poured into rehearsing and presenting the annual affair which runs for three nights. Audiences were warm — really appreciative of the glimpse into ‘yesteryear.’ It is those people who are former students who most enjoy the production because they recall past shows that they, perhaps, were in. They remember the Minstrel as being one of the things that make CHS. ANGUISHED . . . Sadness envelops David Williams as he sings his comedy hit, “She Was Only a Bird in a Gilded Cage.” 149 CHS Goes To The PoUs CANDY MAN . . . Burton Poague temporarily abandons cheerleading in the hope that tossing out candy will prove a more effective vote- getter. SPIRIT OF ’66 . . . To whip up enthusiasm, the four members of the Batman Band (Johnny Pound, Ricky Claytor, Dennis Rider, and Ranny Reyns) toot, if not always tunefully. BATMAN SAYS . . . Bat- man (Bob Knabenshue) and Robin (Shawn Grum- blatt) were imported in an attempt to influence the voters. JUST A LITTLE TO THE RIGHT . . . Bev- erly Rickett (front) supervises as David Williams, Brenda Glenn, Vicki Williams, An- nette George, and Hor- ace Cooke put up a poster for her cam- paign as treasurer of the Student Council. THE CANDIDATES AND THEIR CAMPAIGN MANAGERS . . . Dee Decker, Billie Plott, Bruce Schaule, Linda Calehuff, Jim McClung, Susan Nichols, Franklin Roach, Karen Ents- minger. Hunter Mays, Robert Carpenter (out-going presi- dent), David Whitehead, Linda Clutter, Horace Cooke, Zelpha Withrow, John Whitehead, Judy Cunningham, Stacey Morris, Beverly Rickett. Student Council Holds Officer Election Student Council election day is an exciting time at CHS, and, while the race for office has generally light-hearted overtones, there are underlying politi- cal maneuvers. The prospective candidates are first nominated for the council executive board, and then students in each of the five classes vote to elect those who will represent them on the board. From the list of board members submitted to the council, the ablest people are selected to be candidates for specific offices. Each candidate engages a campaign manager who speaks for him at the school-wide rally. Especially ambitious office-seekers may also enlist the services of ‘bands,’ dancers, ‘cheerleaders,’ and candy-throw- ers to influence voters. Candidates can also be nominated from the floor, and the ‘spontaneous’ demonstrations often show evidence of careful planning. The day after the rally, with much more serious mien, students go to the polls to cast their secret ballots to elect officers for the Student Council — the student organization that plays a large part in making CHS. HOW WILL THEY VOTE? . . . Like voters everywhere, students at CHS can appre- ciate the humor and enjoy the favors handed out by candidates, but how they vote is their own affair. 151 Students Are Honored In Spring Assembly ■Mate BEST CHEERLEADER . . . The student body voted Judy Cunningham best cheer- leader. Mrs. Gay Parker hands her the coveted trophy. KEY CLUB AWARD . . . Below, Mr. Henry Cale, president of the local Ki- wanis Club presents Stacey Morris the award for being the outstanding senior Key Club member. 152 YEARBOOK DEDICATED . . . Yearbook editor Bruce Schaule extends his best wishes to Coach “Boodie” Albert, the dedicatee of the 1966 PUFFS AND PATCHES. The un- precedented action of revealing the dedicatee before the book is delivered in the fall was prompted by the staff’s feeling that “Boodie” should know of the honor during his ‘anni- versary year.’ Special Achievement Noted CHS believes that outstanding achievement should be publicly recognized ; therefore, there is an awards assembly every spring at which many students are commended for their efforts during the year. The greatest number of awards are given by the athletic department, for it is at this assembly that monograms are given for participation in sports. The most valued awards in this field are the ones for Best Cheerleader, this year won by Judy Cunningham; the Most Valuable Basketball Player, which Jim McClung received ; and the Sportsmanship award which went to Bobby Huffman. Other awards, which are perhaps even more coveted, are the Citizenship Award presented by the DAR, and the Key Award given by the Kiwanis Club. Brenda Seyglinski was named the best citizen, and Mr. Henry Cale of the local Kiwanis Club presented Stacey Morris a check for one hundred dollars and a certificate for being the best senior member of the Key Club. Mrs. Mary Clarke of the commercial department, Mrs. Mamie Hall, home economics teacher, and Mrs. Jane Whiteside, sponsor of the Forensics Club, cited the outstanding students in their departments. Dee Decker, George Hicks, Franklin Roach, and Jim Stett- ner were identified as being winners of scholarships from the National Science Foundation. After they had received the yearbook awards, Bruce Schaule and Karen Entsminger announced to the stu- dent body that Coach “Boodie” Albert was the dedicatee of the 1966 PUFFS AND PATCHES. 153 Outstanding Work, Citizenship Are Rewarded JOURNALISM AWARD . . . Karen Entsminger and Bruce Schaule re- ceive awards for their work on the yearbook from sponsor Mrs. Ruth Cvizic. BEST CITIZEN ... Mr. Heretick congratulates Brenda Seyglinski, an honor student who is also active in extra-cur- ricular activities, for be- ing selected by CHS fac- ulty members to receive the DAR Outstanding Citizen Award. 154 ALL-DISTRICT BAS- KETBALL TEAM . . .

Cougar Athletes Named To District Teams ALL-DISTRICT FOOTBALL FIRST TEAM . . . Paul Linkenhoker, Bob Huffman, Ron Holloway, David Whitehead, Jerry Garrett. 155 ‘Shangri-La’ Is Prom Theme Pi’om Night! Through a golden beaded curtain, across a gaily decorated bridge, past a bubbling fountain — such was the route taken by juniors and seniors into a mystic place of make-believe known as Shangri-La. Entering into the mood created by the decor, the handsome couples danced to the music of Gene Thomas’ orchestra. At intermission a gong sounded. Master of Ceremonies Bruce Schaule extended the juniors’ official welcome to their “esteemed guests,’’ the seniors. Then George “Charlie Chan’’ Hicks dem- onstrated his remarkable powers of deduction by locating ‘Emperor’ Stacey Morris and ‘Empress’ Becky Maupin from among all the seniors present. The royal pair were crowned by junior class presi- dent “Spooky’’ Mays. The amusing program pre- sented included an umbrella dance by a group of junior ‘geisha girls,’ “Shangri-La,” a duet sung by Janet Paxton and Susan Meeks, a pantomime in dance, and a lively karate exhibition. Follow- ing the floor show, the seniors went through the stately figures of the Grand March. The dancing continued until one, and for years to come, both juniors and seniors will recall the magical hours they once spent in Shangri-La. ROYALTY . . . Empress Becky Maupin and Emperor Stacey Morris were nominated by seniors and elected by juniors to reign in Shangri-La. DELICATE FLOWERS OF THE EAST ... In the .costumes of pretty Japanese geishas, Linda Clutter, Jannie Johnston, Karen Entsminger and Judy Henning performed an oriental umbrella dance to entertain the royalty. STATELY SENIORS . . . The traditional fiprure of the Grand March is the highlight of the prom of seniors. PRE-PROM ... By Friday noon, Shangri-La was virtually complete except for the rock garden. Donna Hepler, Billie Plott and Kyle Keyser put the final touches on the ‘rocks.’ KARATE EXPERT . . . Brave Spooky Mays holds the ‘solid wood block’ for karate expert Penny Burks. The expert and the block were equally fake. 157 FOLKSINGERS . . . Lend- ing a more serious note to the class day program was a folk-singing trio composed of Danny Map- pus, Sandy Mays, and Ed Lydiatt. GRANNY GRADS . . . Portraying CHS graduates fifty years hence, Mary Sue Caldwell, Nancy Cox, and Barbara Miller show that they still have the old Cougar spirit. “IS THIS TRIP REALLY NECESSARY?” . . .

No, creatures from CHS. Liela Dud- ley and Vickie Fran- son impersonate moon people. Senior Class Day Is Fun Program The Senior Class Day Assembly is essentially a fun program. The seniors go all-out to entertain the underclassmen and the teachers and to have a little fun for themselves at the same time. This year’s program was based on the format of the Johnny Carson television show, Rob Carpenter assumed the role of host Carson; Jim McClung was Ed McMahon, and Gene Wood played the bearded Skitch Henderson. Guests were interviewed who gave the news (the prophecy) about classmates from ol’ CHS. There were, of course, the commercials which gave the seniors an opportunity to lampoon situa- tions and eccentricities such as the Thurs- day hot dogs at the school. The tradi- tional zany will was also worked into the framework of the show. Nearly every senior appeared in the show, and regardless of the light-hearted- ness of Class Day, it does have its nos- talgic side. To the melody of “Stranger on the Shore,’’ the class sang original words written by Sandy Mays. At the close of the program the seniors remained on stage and stood singing the Alma Mater as the underclassmen silently filed out. Juniors, who had suddenly become rising seniors, were the first to leave the auditorium. There was nostalgia at the thought that so many fine people who had helped make CHS were soon to leave it. 159 CLASS OF ’66 . . .

It closed the door on the fun and security of the past, yet it opened the door to a promising, but uncertain, future. Each one had made his contribution to Covington High, whether by studying extra minutes to make a class discussion more interesting, yelling a little louder for the team, or by giving encouragement and a friendly smile to a confused eighth grader. These ninety-seven people knew that they had helped make CHS.

So many interesting things. An esprit d’ corps that is uniquely our own.” It has been the purpose of the staff of PUFFS AND PATCHES to preserve in pic- tures and in words a record of Covington High School in the year 1965-66. From the celebration of Boodie’s twenty-fifth year of coaching and the championship football and basketball teams to the scholastic honors won by students, we have tried to cover the year’s activities. It is our hope that now, and in the years to come, those who are connected with Coving- ton High School can turn through the pages of this book and be reminded of the wonder- ful people and events that made CHS. 165 THE FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT . . . Yearbook business manager Danny Mappus and staff member Linda Calehuff go over ad bills and receipts. Advertising ‘ ' What makes CHS?’’ “When you come right down to it, the thing that makes CHS is the city of Covington. It’s a prosperous town and the people here are interested in their school and they show it. They have to support the school with their taxes, of course, but then they voluntarily help through things like the Quarterback Club. And we couldn’t publish our yearbook at all if it weren’t for the solid support of the industries and businesses of Covington.” 166 INDUSTRIAL GROWTH OF COVINGTON . . .

That cash crop is TREES. All over the nation, from Maine to Texas and from Florida to Oregon, the sign of the accredited Tree Farm is becoming a familiar symbol. More than 50 million acres are now being cultivated under the Tree Farm system, whereby cutting, seeding, harvesting, fire and disease control are carried out ac- cording to tested, scientific forestry methods. Tree Farm- ers, operating as private, tax-paying individuals, are helping to assure the increasing raw material needs of the nation’s wood-using industries. These industries, in turn, provide our Tree Farmers with ready markets for America’s fastest growing cash crop — TREES.
