Puffs Patches Salutes Boodle’s 25th Year Wishing to have a part in honoring him on the occasion of his twenty-fifth anniversary as football coach at Covington High School, the staff, with great pride and sincere devotion dedicates the 1966 PUFFS AND PATCHES to FRANCIS JOSEPH “HOODIE” ALBERT Boodie has given Covington High School twenty- five wonderful years of concern, hard work, good humor, and devotion. 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
