BEAZLEY, Superintendent of Covington Schools 1946-1966. (IRANl)POP ... In addition to being an experi- enced educator, Mr. Reazley is also an experienced gj’andfather. TECH MAN . . . Mr. Beazley’s Alma Mater is Virginia Tech; here he is deep in study in his dorm. MR. WILLIAM R.BEAZLEY ON THE JOB . . . The job of superintendent is a busy one. Mr. Beazley has made many visits to the city schools; however, he’s working- even when he’s sitting down. His Work In Education Spans More Than 40 Years It is often an extremely difficult task for an annual staff to decide upon a dedicatee for its yearbook. We have been fortunate this year in being in no such Quandary, for one man stands above all others in our consideration: Mr. William Ray Beazley, retired Superintendent of Covington schools. Having been associated with the school systems of this area for almost forty years, Mr. Beazley is well-known to practically everyone in the commun- ity. This association began with his appointment as principal of the Boiling Springs School in 1928. From 1935 to 1938 he was principal of the old Jeter School, then became elementary school supervisor, and later was chosen director of instruction for Alleghany County in 1943. He became superintendent of Al- leghany County Schools in 1946 — his jurisdiction then including both city and county schools. In 1958, when the system was divided, Mr. Beazley continued to head the city schools and has remained in this capacity until this year. For his years of service and devotion to the schools of Covington, the staff of Puffs and Patches wishes to dedicate this 1967 edition to Mr. William Ray Beazley. 3 WE’VE GOT...

The Puffs Patches staff resort to music (?) to attract last-minute subscriptions. Perhaps the most intangible feature of any school is its spirit. In a physical sense school spirit cannot be seen or touched ; yet the spirit of Covington High can be seen in the faces of the cheerleaders at football or basketball games. It can be felt in the surges of emotion that pass through the student body during a pep rally. The spirit of Covington High is the desire to have the biggest and best Christ- mas Formal ever; the determination to re- claim the Jug next year; the mixed feelings at the anticipation of graduation in June. The students of Covington High School are proud to say, “WE’VE GOT THE COUGAR SPIRIT’’ COUGARS A - GO - GO . . . CHS students practice “hamming it up” as they await their debut on Saturday Session. 6 School Spirit Inspires Participation HOT DOG . . .

If you think Susan Dilley’s a real swingin’ cheerleader, you’re right! 9 CHS Students Take Time Out For Fun HELLO, MUDDA? . . . When those cafeteria concoctions drop you into a valley of fatigue, the next best thing is MAMMA. LET’S HANG ON . . . The “Couple of the Week”, Linda Padgett and John Easton, are still in each other’s arms (and Saturday Session was last week). LOOKS ARE DECEIVING . . . No, the majorettes (Jannie Johnston, Judy Henning, Janet Paxton, Elizabeth Smith, and Faye Bilbro) aren’t eating cotton candy. They’re trying out new wigs! iq LET GEORGE DO IT . . . Renee George pins her first place creation on Mike Sams at the annual Sadie Hawkins Dance. GRANNY LA DOUCE . . . Karen Entsminger’s fairy tales will do anything but put a red-blooded young boy to sleep. Dances, Pep Rallies Offset Classwork “PUT YOUR FINGERS ON THE HOME ROW” . . . These are familiar words to Miss Jones’ first year typing students, shown here in their third period class. 1 1 PARENTS’ NIGHT . . . Since parents have a special part in molding their children, it’s only fitting that they be honored for what they’ve molded. Hence, one of the pre- game football activities is Parents’ Night. School Comes Alive With Activities . . . COVINGTON’S AN- SWER TO PHI BETA KAPPA . . The King of Dog Patch was David Whitehead, and Daisey Mae was Jo Ellen Reid. Runners- up were “Spooky” Mays and Sarah Bayne. Other contest- ants were (front row) Renee George, Mike Sams, Marsha Miller, Karen Entsminger, Penny Burks.

It cannot be denied that ado- lescence is a spirited age — one which takes a special kind of training to guide and channel in the right direction. This pilot duty falls on the shoulders of the faculty at Covington High. The teachers here have certain spir- its of their own : the spirits of patience, understanding, and dedication to the service of youth. They are eager to listen to and discuss a student’s prob- lems with him. Furthermore, they give of their time “after hours” in a wide range of extra- curricular activities which they sponsor. The teachers truly ex- hibit . . . The Spirit of Guidance 16 Psssssssst — BOOM! ... Fourth of July in December? Maybe not, but Mr. Walker’s experiments make chemistry an exciting class every day. 17 Laughlin Takes Over Helm of School System From Beazley The whole world is in a constant state of change. Things in Covington change, too, believe it or not. The greatest change we have experienced this year — the retirement of Mr. Reazley - — is met with mixed feelings. We are sorry to see leaving us a man who has dedicated a great part of his life to serving us. It will be dif- ferent not to see his smiling face in our midst. How- ever, we must press on. Now we welcome Mr. Laughlin, who comes to us from the Lynchburg school system, and look to his administration with expectancy of new methods, new knowledge, and new ideas. We firmly believe that in everything he will act in a manner characteristic of Cougar spirit. WILLIAM R. BEAZLEY BREAKING HIM IN . . . Mr. Beazley acquaints Mr. Laughlin with the operation of the School Board office. 18 CAUGHT . . . The hidden camera catches Therese Hanna at her weekly conference with Mr. Heretick. Principal, Mr. Heretick “Fills the Bill” The duties of chief administrator of Covington High School fall on the shoulders of the principal, Mr. John S. Heretick. The qualities required for this job are many: administrative skill, a keen understanding of human nature, and vast reserves of patience are a few of the most important. Here at Covington High School, we feel that our principal “fills the bill.” Most students are not aware, however, of all that Mr. Heretick goes through in a typical day. Phone calls come in for him at all hours. Teachers strive to be quite faithful in sending him their disciplinary cases. He can often be found in the hall on some important errand. And many of the school’s organizations bring him some of the wildest imaginable schemes for activi- ties, which often he good-humoredly goes along with. The staff of Puffs Patches would at this time like to thank Mr. Heretick for the fine job we feel he is doing. 19 John S. Heretick, B.A., M.A., St. Mary’s University, University of Virginia; Principal. MOMENT OF TRUTH . . . Sandy Bayne waits tensely to see if Mr. Persing ' er will accept her excuse. Good luck, Sandy! Mr. Persinger is “Jack-of-all-Trades” Covington High School’s assistant principal, Mr. Persinger, is a regular “Jack-of-all-trades.” He is perhaps best known to the students through his duties in checking absentee excuses, a job at which he is by no means gullible. Stern but fair, he also has jurisdiction in the area of discipline. One of his most im- portant functions is that of school ath- letic director; here he takes a hand in preparing game schedules and selling tickets and goes a step further in his faithful attendance at these events. All of these duties combine to make Mr. Persinger a really busy man. Munford T. Persinger, Jr., B.S., M.Ed., V.P.I., University of Virginia; Assistant Princi- pal. Mrs. Ernestine Humphries, Secretary Mrs. Ernestine T. Cashwell, Secretary Secretaries Perform Tasks With Cougar Spirit Two other hardworking people at C.H.S. are the secretaries, who discharge their duties with a cheer- fulness and a willingness characteristic of the Cou- gar spirit. The answers to most students’ questions can be found by asking the secretaries. Typing and mimeographing tests and notices, answering the phone, and dispensing such essential commodities as paper clips and rubber bands are a vital part of the high school administration. Mrs. Cashwell, we might explain, is a new addi- tion to the high school office this year. Coming to us from Watson, she is a valuable and hard-working person. Guidance Department Answers Students’ Queries “What courses should I take? What line of work am I best fitted for? Should I attend college? Which one? Where can I apply for a scholarship?” Going to high school can be a bewildering experience for a young per- son, and many questions are raised for which he needs answers. A high school needs trained personnel to supply these answers and also to meet with the student to help him feel that the school is not as impersonal as it may at times seem. Perhaps the most difficult task the Guidance Depart- ment has is that of preparing pupil schedules. They maintain a library of cu rrent college catalogues for students who are thinking along such lines. CHS stu- dents get a real “charge” out of all the tests given by this department. It might also be said that through their frequent communications with the local news media they are “public relations” people for the school. The definite need for guidance is met by these coun- selors with a great deal of training, experience, and Cougar spirit. Helen H.

GRENDEL’S MOTHER ... In her English V class Mrs. Cvizic gives a spirited account of Beowulf’s fight with a hor- rible monster. English Department Puts Emphasis on Communication As the world becomes even smaller and the bulk of knowledge becomes even vaster, the use of the English language as an international medium of communication continues to expand. It is only logical, therefore, that the English- speaking peoples themselves have a better com- mand of their language than ever before. At Covington High School, the English Department handles the preparation for this mastery. The English course of today is not concerned with rote learning of rules of grammar, but rather with the way these mechanics are related to literature and other means of written and oral communication. As much as music or paint- ing, literature is an art, a means of expressing oneself to the world at large. Nobody of scienti- fic knowledge can have any worth if no met hod of disseminating it exists. To eliminate the banal and establish the authenic in students’ work are among the main goals of this department. PIN-UP . . .

Louie Leitch, Sharon Smith, and Mrs. Littleton indulge in a bit of quaint humor. 23 Many Phases of Math Presented at CHS . . . The study of mathematics has been responsi- ble for many of the great scientific and technol- ogical advances of human civilization. It has been called the perfect science, yet most of the early mathematicians were also great philosophers; consider, for example, the implications of the simple statement that two plus two equals four. College prep math presents all the traditional areas of geometry, algebra, and trigonometry. It is these courses which present more of the abstract conceptions of numbers and delve into areas of great mystery for the unenlightened. Yet such theory is not needed by all students. For those not planning to go to university-level work, Covington High offers courses in the more practical side of math. General math and busi- ness math provide the student with the back- ground he needs in the daily round of business. In any event, CHS students leave their school with a firm background in the discipline of mathematics. H.AIR-RAISING EXPERIENCE . . .

Nancy Robertson and Juanita Ergenbrig ht explain to Becky Smith, Mrs. Thomas, and Jo Ellen Reid how our nation’s government works. History And Customs Of Other Lands And Ours Are Taught Here I ' vdicatoRs of (nekican S ' tancXa Rd Perhaps what the nations of the world lack and need most today is an understanding of each other’s history and customs. This is the value of the social studies department; and it perhaps has even more import in that in the study of our history we may come to understand ourselves. The student learns about the physical earth through the world geography course. He then learns of the great events that have affected his whole way of life through world history. And his own country is not forgotten: the his- tories of both the United States and Virginia are taught in the junior year U. S. history course. The governments of both state and country are explored in the senior government class. Both U. S. history and government are re- quired for graduation. Taught by a group of eminent pedagogues, these courses are truly in- ( ' OVINGTON’S ANSWER TO .JOHN MAYNARD KEYNES ... teresting and informative.

By working in the laboratory, making science projects, and taking courses in chemis- try, biology and physics, students learn about the world and their environment. In order to graduate, all students are required to take two years of science, beginning with earth science. Some students take biology and most college-bound students also take chemistry. MR.

Foreign Languages Courses Are Expanded Because of our ever-increasing awareness of the world around us, the study of foreign lan- guages has a wide appeal. Colleges and industry are requiring more and more knowledge of dif- ferent tongues. Reflecting this enlarged need for the command of language, the C.H.S. Foreign Language Department has been greatly expand- ed. New to the curriculum at Covington High are the French courses, taught this year first by Mrs. Burrowes and then Miss Myers. Two years of this language are offered, during which the students learn the fundamentals of speaking and writing it. These basics are put into practice through conversation and the writing of para- graphs on pertinent topics. To the Spanish studies, a third year of this tongue has been added. Mrs. Plott, a native of Puerto Rico, emphasizes the practical uses of the language, such as conversation, reading, and writing; however, she insists upon correct gram- matical usage and a wide vocabulary. There is also, of course, Latin. Often called a “dead” language, no requiems are in order, how- ever. Latin lives on and is a great aid in the study of other languages, medicine, theology, lit- erature, and other such fields. 30 SURE IT’S GOOD TO BRUSH AFTER EVERY MEAL . . . but painting isn’t everything; so, Mrs. Ervine does her best to make her art courses as varied and interesting as she can. Fine Arts Courses Appeal To Sense of Aesthetic Courses in the sciences and mathematics are vitally important in this modern age. Yet every student has within himself a certain urging, a desire for creativity. It is through the Fine Arts Department that students are given an outlet for this need. Covington High feels proud to have as both vocal and instrumental music director Mrs. Nell Fleshman ; it takes a kind of talent that is be- coming increasingly rare for one person to han- dle both jobs as successfully as does Mrs. Flesh- man. The art courses, taught by Mrs. Ervine, are a long way from simply coloring inside the lines. Working with paints, papier-mache, etc., is part of the curriculum. The art class also performs several services to the school each year in pro- viding scenery for the Minstrel and other activi- ties. Also included in this department is the li- brary. Ably run by librarian Miss Payne, the li- brary’s shelves are enriched every year with a host of new books. In addition to escape reading, the library provides ample research material. SWAMP FOX . . . Miss Payne seems to be swamped by the piles of new books which have come to the library. Mrs. Mary M. Ervine, B.S., Radford College; Art. Catherine E.

Miss Jones and David Gaines map out a course of action as to how to find “home row.” Beulah A.

Mrs. Mary E. Clarke, B.S., Mary Washington College; Shorthand, Typ- ing; Tri-Hi-Y. Commercial Courses Teach Valuable Skills Secretarial skills can be extremely useful to the person who has mastered them. The young man or woman who can type, take dictation, etc., is always in demand by businessmen. At CHS, Miss Jones and Mrs. Clarke handle the pre- paration of students in the commercial track. Students working toward a business diploma are enrolled in Mrs. Clarke’s classes. After a course on business in general, they study such areas as typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, busi- ness math, and the like. Upon graduation, they usually either go straight into some type of sec- retarial work or take further study at a busi- ness school. Miss Jones’ typing classes consist of students enrolled in the general and college prep curricula. Those planning to attend college find typing invaluable; the only thing one can do if he can- not type is to “hunt and peck’’. Other pupils going to business school find they need this subject a great deal. Incidentally, Miss Jones’ classes are composed this year of students from grades eight to twelve inclusive. 32 DE, ICT Offer Class And On-the-Job Training Distributive Education provides specialized training for persons entering the field of retail or service occupations. The main objective of this program is to prepare high school students for permanent employment in the large field of distribution. It involves classroom instruction, for which the student receives high school credits and actual supervised work experience with a local businessman who pays the student for his work. The Industrial Cooperative Training Program is concerned mainly with students who seek em- ployment immediately after high school gradua- tion. This helps the student acquire the training needed in the career of his choice. The students in ICT attend the necessary classes in the morn- ing and work at their respective jobs in the afternoon. This program gives the training, work skills, social skills, and good attitudes toward working needed to be successful in busi- ness. William W.

Or what would have happened to our country if Betsy Ross had not known how to sew? CHS recognizes the need for the “housewife arts” and so provides courses in this area that are profitable and practical for all girls, regardless of their curriculum. And for those future hen-pecked husbands there are the mechanical drawing and shop courses. These classes are pleasant for those boys who enjoy doing things wdth their hands. In addition, this instruc- tion may serve as preparation for future employ- ment. 34 Driver Ed., Reading Are Practical Courses One of the things that teenagers want more than anything else is the privilege of driving. Here at CHS, Mr. Stone teaches the students how to drive, take care of a car, and to be safe drivers. The students like this course and Mr. Stone enjoys teaching them — NEVER A DULL MOMENT! Parents of students also like this course because they know their teenager will learn everything necessary to drive safely. Most of the students take this course and feel it is a great help, not only because they learn to drive, but because it also cuts down on their insurance rates ! A very helpful course offered to the students of CHS is that of reading improvement. This course, taught by Mrs. Blankenship, helps stu- dents to read faster and more skillfully. It also enables them to comprehend what they read. Either the student asks to be in this class or his guidance counselor may suggest it as a step to improving his scholastic habits. Samuel R.

White, A.B., M.Ed., University of Kentucky, University of Vir- ginia; Physical Education; Guidance; Pep Club; Girls’ Monogram Club; Intramurals. “A sound mind in a healthy body” or so the ' saying goes. Certainly the primary objective of any educational institution is to develop sound minds ; here at CHS we feel that keeping physically fit is equally important. Directly responsible for the healthy specimens at our school is the Physical Education Department. Students participate in this curriculum up through their sophomore year. The courses offer something that will appeal to all: touch football, basketball, volleyball, gymnastics, softball, and the like. This year the de- partment received a great deal of gymnasium equip- ment, including Tarzan ropes, a pegboard, a “hang-by- your-fingers” ladder, and, later in the year, a new in- structor- — Mrs. Reed. Also coming under the jurisdiction of this depart- ment are the health classes. Involved here are such var- ied subjects as first aid, classroom driver training, and good grooming. All these physical education courses combine to give our students the strength to exhibit that Cougar spirit. 36 Dewey (Bo) O’Conner, Jr., B.A., Emory and Henry Col- lege; Physical Education; Social Studies; Basketball Coach, Assistant Football Coach; Monogram Club.

Although not a formal club with officers and a charter, the group acts in a true spirit of service. :ht Hands of Secretaries Office Staff . . . Betty Drepperd, Shelia Bess, Linda Huffman, Linda Glenn, Billy Phillips, Christine Kandris, Jannie Johnston. The counterparts of the office boy in a business establishment, the members of the office staff are the “right hands’’ of the secretaries. They “hold down the fort’’, so to speak, while Mrs. Humphries and Mrs. Cashwell are busy. Popping in and out of classes like little pixies, they run countless errands for the office personnel. Many teachers find it con- venient to have their tests and other papers sent down to this staff for mimeographing. The sale of pencils, paper, and other supplies is also handled by this staff. And, of course, all their duties are carried out with a real Cougar spirit. 38 CHS Cooks Display Spirit of Service CAFETERIA CONNOISSEURS . . . Mrs. Whiteside; Mrs. Huffman; Mrs. Dressier; Mrs. Larue; Mrs. Johnson; Mrs. Comer. When a student stands in the cafeteria line, his tray firmly clutched in both hands, he is confronted with a wide variety of tempting dishes. The Thurs- day combination of hot dogs, scalloped potatoes, and pork and beans has become a tradition at CHS. If he is extremely fortunate, agile and perse- vering, he may reach the end of the line, there to be greeted by the patient cashier whose change-pitch- ing abilities may be hampered by the hubbub of the hour. (P.S. Watch the lumps in the potatoes — they may be your misplaced change!) Cougar Custodians are “Stronger Than Dirt” CLEAN-UP MEN . . . Mr. Theoplous Martin; Mr. W. Henry Cashwell, Mr. Lawrence Jackson; (not pictured, Mrs. Evelyn Ervine). On the job both night and day, the tasks of cleaning and maintaining Covington High fall on the shoulders of the custodial staff. As evidenced by the clean condition of the school each morning, dirt can’t hide from intensified janitors. Before school begins, the maid is on the job, giving a last- minute check to each room and hall. CHS students often take for granted the sej. - vices provided them by the janitors. However, were it not for the efforts of these people, the school would really be unpleasant. They have proved that they are “stronger than dirt.” 39 STUDENTS... The raw material of Cougar Spi.i‘it is the student body. It is student participation in clubs, classes, and sports which genei ' - ates much of the more evident excitement that makes school life interesting. Yet theirs is not only a spirit of fun: a spirit of curiosity ])revails in the lively question and answer sessions in their classes; a spirit of service abounds in their dedication to both school and community; a spirit of faith in themselves and their companions is pronounced in all activities. But overall it is . . . The Spirit of Learning 40 CONCENTRATION ... It is a generally accepted truth that the more sources of in- formation one has at his fingertips, the more varied his knowledge. Lonnie Persinger typifies the well-rounded student. 4 ) Spirits Rise As Seniors Experience SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS . . .

Students who are selected as su- perlatives in any class have gained a high honor. To assume such an honor, one must maintain a high average. When choosing a superior student, teachers take all factors into consideration — attitude, grades, and participation in class. If a teacher feels he has no one who truly deserves this honor, he selects no one for it. In some cases two students are chosen, and both are named as superlatives. HOME ECONOMICS . . .

It takes a dif- ferent kind to be a good loser. The athletes and fans of Coving- ton High School have ample amounts of each. An honor uni- que in the Blue Ridge District, the Cougars were presented the district sportsmanshij) award at the same time they received district basketball championship laurels for the ’65-’66 season.

Eddie Carter, CHS basketball squad leader, finds his sport an uplifting experience. 93 COUGARS DO REPEAT PERFORMANCE Fifteen returninj - Coufjar letter men — coupled with seven transfers from Watson — ran, passed, blocked, and kicked their way to their second consecutive Blue Ridge District Championship. Hustling their way to a 7-3 record, the Cougars defeated all district foes and two non-district opponents. After suffering an opening game defeat, the Cougars stormed back to beat tough Robert E. Lee for the first time since the early fifties. The Cougars were not beaten again until they journeyed to Rocky Mount, where they were upset by the Franklin County Eagles. The highlighting victories were the 27-7 defeat of Liberty, the 44-6 trouncing of highly touted M ' illiam Byrd for homecoming, and the defeat of arch-rival Alleghany County. The season’s last game, however, was somewhat of a shocker as the Cougars fell to undefeated Clifton Forge for the first time in eight years. With a solid nu- cleus of linemen and some good backs returning, the Cougars have high hopes of a repeat p er- form as Blue Ridge District Champions again next year. 1966 COUGARS . . . First row: E.

Coug-ars gave first-year coach fiodney Armstrong many ])roud moments and brought smiles to the faces of the varsity coaches as they thought of the future. The little Cougars finished the year with a 4-2-1 record. The defensive Strong Arm Foes line, anchored by Martin and Lambert, held oppo- nents to a total of 26 points. A flashy offense, spearheaded by speedy R. C. Williams, scored a total of 125 points. The future certainly looks bright for the C.H.S. gridiron. LEMMONS RICKS OFF PASS . . . J.V. Lineman Jimmy Lemmons returns an inter- cepted pass towai’d the G.M.S. goal. 101 Dark Horse Cougars Make Home Stretch The Covington hardwood men, led by Ronnie Cosby, Vernell Coles, and Tony Williams, surprised many by faring so well in the Blue Ridge District. Given only a slight chance of regaining their dis- trict crown, the Cougars fought and scrapped their way into the semi-finals of the Blue Ridge District Tournament. After an opening night victory over Lord Botetourt, the Cougars fell to Cave Springs by a 72-60 count. The Cougars came up with many thrilling vic- tories throughout the year. Captain Eddie Carter sank two free-throws, with one second left on the clock, to beat Staunton 70-69 in one of the best games ever played in the C.H.S. gym. Other thrill- ing victories were the 66-64 victory over Liberty, the 67-65 win over Clifton Forge, and the 63-61 defeat of Northside.

Coach John Hawkins, mentor of the eighth grade team, gives young boys their first taste of high school basketball, while Tom Robertson works with boys who are only a year or two away from varsity stardom.

Hollo- way ran one of the fastest 100-yd. dashes in the state at 9.8 seconds ; he and Godfrey were a sure bet to finish first and second both the 100 and 220.

Greatly hurt by the loss of Emory Snead, the Cougars struggled into the Blue Ridge District Tournament, only to fall before Liberty in a highly disputed contest. “Pete” Ergenbright, in his last season as baseball coach, gained a supreme effort from many boys. After the loss of Snead, Mike Sams became one of the area’s top pitchers — Colby Bush, who last year hit .162, hit .381, scored 11 runs, and had 11 RBI’s — one of the best glove- men in the district, sophomore Rick Ogburn hit a hot .302 — authoritatively stepping into Sam’s shin guards, Gary Keener proved to be a clutch man at the plate.

Many of these organiza- tions are concerned with ca- reers — Future Teachers, Future Nurses, and Future Home- makers, for a few. Fine scholar- ship is recognized in the Beta Club. Students are given an op- portunity to serve their school and community through such organizations as the Tri-Hi-Y and the Key Club. Through all these activities there pervades . . .

Mrs. Roscoe Stephenson, Jr. Council Sends CHS To Saturday Session The Student Council takes an ac- tive part in life at CHS. Made up of representatives elected by the stu- dent body, it assumes the duties of the executive and judicial branches of an actual government. Under the supervision of sponsors Miss Thomas and Mr. Fitzgerald, the president conducts regular weekly meetings during alternating periods. During the course of these meetings, such offenses as running in the halls and breaking in the cafeteria line are dealt with by the Executive Board, which acts as a jury. The SCA also sponsored many school activities. Its biggest project was the Christmas Formal, which en- tailed organizing entertainment and refreshments as well as elaborate decorations. The Student Council also sponsored sock-hops after several of the ball games. The members took turns putting hymn books in the auditorium for chapel assemblies and playing records during lunch periods. It was responsible for arranging Cov- ington High School’s date on Satur- day Session. The Council contributed its part to the Cougar spirit by spon- soring a school motto contest in hopes of boosting morale. Its closing activity of the year was a steak ban- quet at Uncle Tom’s Cabin.

This club, like many others throughout the nation, is sponsored locally by the Kiwanis Club. Various projects are performed to serve both school and community ; this year, for instance, the group gave assistance at one of the Bloodmobiles. Another project, new this year, was church attend- ance as a group. More in the line of fellowship were the basketball games which were played with nearby Key Clubs and other teams. The district convention, held in Roanoke in March, proved enjoyable for eight of the members and sponsor, Mr. Hayslett. The club is now planning to sponsor, with the co- operation of other organizations, a coffeehouse for area teenagers.

One of the oldest organizations at Covington High is the Monogram Club, which is composed of forty boys who have earned letters in the varsity sports. These spirited Cougars have enjoyed working to- gether this year on many worthwhile projects. One of them which paid off well was the concession at the basketball games. Another feature that has be- come traditional with the lettermen is the Mono- gram Sweetheart Dance. Several weeks prior to this eveni Tib members select candidates for the Mono- gram Queen. Then the penny-vote crusade begins. This year Zelpha Withrow, who was sponsored by Jerry Garrett, reigned as Queen of the ball. The culminating activity for the “Big C” men and their dates is the annual picnic held each spring at Douthat State Park. Here the Cougars open the season for swimming, boating, and hiking. On hand as head chef is Boodie Albert, who makes sure that food is plentiful and stomachs full. 124 40 Cougar Lettermen Sponsor Many Projects First row: R. Smith, D. Taylor, D. Whitehead, R. Dew, C.

The Beta Club is Covington High School’s honor society. To be con- sidered for entrance into the club and to remain in good standing, one must maintain a B average. However, good grades are not enough. The club con- siders three other factors in deter- mining its membership: achievement, character, and leadership. There are presently thirty-two students who have met these rigid requirements ; twenty-five of these are seniors. Under the supervision of their new sponsor, Mrs. Nancy Stuart, the club contributed money for Christmas packages for the Veterans Hospital in Salem. Their income came from the sale of paperback books and the collection of dues. With such an abundance of “brains”, all was not dull, however, for monthly they got together and shared interests and fun. Sitfins: B. Sayloi-, B. Plott, J. Johnson, J. Ileiionimus, A. Afrnor, L.

During the year the F.N.A. met once a month and dis- cussed some aspects of the ca- reers which they are consid- ering entering. This year they visited the Pathology and X- ray Departments of the C. 0. Hospital in Clifton Forge. They also toured the Nurses’ Quarters and Morgue. They have attended a meeting of the Graduate Nurses Club, seen films, and enjoyed a guest speaker. In the spring they visited the Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center and Western State Hospital. 128 Sitting: T. Smith, G. Reynolds, D. Vanness, G. Ellis, D. Decker, A. Arritt, T. Friel, P. Snead, M.

JCL Appreciates the Classical Spirit The Junior Classical League strives to promote the importance of the Roman language, art, and culture. Because of interesting programs based on Virgil’s Aeneid and Plautus’ plays, members became interested in the customs, dress, recreation, educa- tion, and adventures of our ancient ancestors. Their projects included preparing a bulletin board for Parents’ Night and recruiting underclassmen for the Latin courses. For enjoyment, the JCL held a Winter Equinox Festival, which coincides with oiu- holiday Christ- mas. As a climax to the year’s activities, the mem- bers entertained the ACTIS League at a spring ban- quet based on “Building of Rome”. Here the true classical spirit was in evidence — all wore traditional Roman togas.

Mike Sizemore applies the all-important E (Espanol) to the cheek of waiting? Dianne Null. El Circulo Espanol Emphasizes the Spoken Language All students who take or have taken Spanish may belong to the Spanish Club. For the year 1966-1967, the club boasted an enrollment of seventy-three. The meet- ings were conducted in Spanish, with a penny fine for every English word spoken. The club initiated its new members in both formal and informal style. The in- formal initiation required the girls to wear red roses and the boys red ties for one day, during which no English could be spoken to fellow club members. The formal initiation was quite a different thing. New members were blindfolded and made to sit on the floor and eat okra. The following day they were to wear red E’s (for Espanol) on their cheeks. At the end of the year a party was given in honor of the senior members. Each of these members was honored with a gift. Every member received a pin sig- nifying the number of years he had be- longed to the Spanish Club. The club is indebted to its sponsor, Mrs. Alicia Plott, who has done a great deal to help the Spanish Club become one of the most successful clubs at CHS. I 30 First row: G. Paxton, C. Kenny, P.

Pep Club Demonstrates Cougar Spirit In its fourth year the Pep Club continued to pro- mote school spirit and loyalty at Covington High School. Everyone in this organization was a mem- ber of one of ten committees, and the chairmen of these committees comprised the club’s executive board. These groups took charge in maintaining a school bulletin board and preparing and distributing programs for home and away basketball games. They also made “Welcome” posters for the visiting teams. Every month the club published a “Pep Sheet”, which contained varieties of school news, new yells, and small gossip. The Pep Club is very much indebted to its sponsor, Mrs. Margaret White. 133 The Distributive Education Club is an organization com- posed of students enrolled in D.E. classes. Through class- room and on-the-job training, students learn the principles of human relations, salesman- ship, and community leader- ship that will benefit them in their planned careers in re- tailing. Club members are guided not only by their teacher and sponsor Mr. Rose, but also by the managers and personnel of the various retail stores in the city where they are em- ployed. Influenced by their D.E. class and their club ac- tivities, many members de- cide to make retailing a ca- reer. Attending the annual D.E. Convention in Richmond this year were delegates Coleene Gillespie and Vicki Benton. This event was one of the highlights of the club’s year.

The Industrial Cooperative Training Program is an ar- rangement between business, industrial, and professional establishments in the com- munity and the school where- by the establishments furnish part - time employment and training to students during school hours, and the school furnishes the technical sub- ject matter related to the oc- cupation. The controlling objective of the program is to provide in- struction and training for em- ployment in a specific or closely allied trade for which members have been trained. Through active participation in the club, the student de- velops understanding of the industrial-business world and consciousness of his civic ob- ligations. He may also acquire desirable social poise and lead- ership ability. This year ICT was proud to host the District VIII Con- vention and compiled an im- pressive record by placing in seven events. Club members climaxed their year’s activi- ties with an employer-em- ployee banquet. Not only a social occasion, this dinner was also a means of saying “thank you” to the many businessmen whose coopera- tion makes the ICT program at CHS a success.

With the leadership and support of Miss Jones, the Future Business Leaders of America had a very busy year. Their activities included regular meetings with noted speakers, interesting field trips, worthwhile service proj- ects, and, of course, parties . Program speakers included influential businessmen from Vepco, Hercules, Covington National Bank, Clifton Forge- Waynesboro Telephone Com- pany, and Dabney Lancaster Community College. In relation to their chosen field of business, they visited in November the Cornett School of Business, National Business College, and Vir- ginia Polytechnic Institute. Featured projects were sell- ing name cards to hopefully graduating seniors and send- ing a “Sunshine Box” to a CHS teacher who had been ill, and, of course, parties.

Cougarettes Add Beauty to CHS Athletics “Frailty, thy name is woman.” Whoever said that has never seen the girls’ intramural basketball team in action, or the majorettes marching and twirling in a two-mile parade, or the cheerleaders at a ball game. These feats may not compare with a wrest- ling match or football game, but they are sufficient for young ladies to become members of the Girls’ Monogram Club. The fair sex may earn their letters in various fields — playing an instrument in the band, par- ticipating in intramural basketball, or being a ma- jorette or cheerleader. Each activity requires that certain standards be met before they earn a big “C”. These girls, with their eagerness and determination to excel, make a valuable contribution to the Cougar Spirit. 137 Annual Spring Concert And Minstrel Are Again Successful. . . DO-RE-MI . . .

This group, directed by Mrs. Fleshman, signs a wide range of musical selections, ranging from pop and show tunes to Renaissance classics. They display their talent in several presentations during the year. Their first big event in the year is the Christmas con- cert, which they give for the student body. Two other major productions are the Minstrel and the spring con- cert. A select group from the class performed several times this year and were a hit everywhere they went. Pro- grams were presented at the Christmas party for re- tired paper mill workers, Mr. Beazley’s retirement ban- quet, and the fireman’s annual celebration. Throughout the year, the chorus has tried to put Cougar Spirit into song. 138 Paxton, S. Akers, C. Landes, S. Meeks, C. Burks, R. Hutcheson, M. Andrews, A. George, L. Love, B. Thomas; Second row: J.

Their practice pays off as they participate in lo- cal and state-wide pa- rades, open new inter- state highways, per- form in fiery spectacu- lars at football games, and provide just the right beat for rousing that Cougar Spirit at the pep rallies. Each year this famed group ushers in spring with a laudable concert, fea- turing both classical and pop music. Yes, practice does pay off! Second row: N. Dressier, C. Phillips, B. Rose, M.

Avec Les Courses Nouvelles Vient. . . . . . Le Nouveau “Circle Francais.” Officers: Beverly Thomas, Treasurer; Miss Joanne Myers, Spon- sor; Bob Agnor, President; Linda Clutter, Secretary. ... Or in other words, with new French courses comes the new French Club. Speaking French, or at least studying it, is the requisite for be- longing to the newly organized French Club. For the first time in many years classes in French I and II are again a part of the CHS curriculum. Organized under the leadership of Mrs. Janet Burrowes, the club grew and prospered. In March, the club met a new sponsor. Miss Joanne Myers, a French major from Radford College. The eager “Frenchies” have wasted no time in setting up both immediate and long-range proj- ects. Their first objective is to obtain a French flag and a large map of France for their class- room. Their major projected goal is the most ambitious project yet undertaken by any CHS organization; beginning in 1968 they hope to be able to send all senior members of the club to New Orleans for the Mardi Gras ! These students are enthusiastic about study- ing French, and they believe that this new or- ganization will enable them to study the lan- guage, the literature, and the culture of France in greater depth than mere classroom activities can permit. Poetry reading, prose reading, pub- lic speaking, and spelling headed the list of activities for the CHS Foren- sics Club this year. During numerous practice sessions, co-sponsors Mrs. Snead and Mrs. Stone, with the aid of other English teachers, helped club members to perfect the art of competitive speech making and dra- matic reading in preparation for the Blue Ridge District Forensics Tour- nament. At the tournament, which was held in April, three of the six CHS representatives brought honors home for the Cougars. Gregory Simpson claimed third place in Boys’ Prose Reading, George Hicks took third in Boys’ Poetry Reading, and the third place Public Speaking Award went to Dee Decker. Throughout the year, hard work and strong school spirit have proven to be the backbone of the Forensics Club’s success.

Directly related to this were the projects of help- ing the Veterans of Foreign Wars in sell- ing “Buddy Poppies”, preparing a basket of food for a needy family in the com- munity, and sending Easter baskets to thirteen welfare children. Another ac- tivity of the chapter officers was an in- formal tea for the f aculty members. Fur- thermore, three monthly programs dur- ing the year were based on the themes: “Citizenship Challenges You”, “Your Neighbors Near and Far”, and “Leisure Time — Constructive Time”. Individual members of the chapter re- ceived honors and awards for outstand- ing work in FHA and in the home eco- nomics classes. Brenda Gregory had the honor of serving as President of the Federation, and Karen Entsminger was chosen as the “Betty Crocker Home- maker of Tomorrow”. Alice Biggs was crowned “Miss FHA for 1966-67”. Shir- ley Redman and Linda Dressier are now candidates for the State Homemaker De- gree. Twenty-five girls are trying for their Junior Homemaking Degrees, while eleven are working toward the Chapter Homemaker Degree. Also, Mr. W. R.

Completely bewildered by proportion wheels, gutters, bleed pages, etc., two inexperienced sponsors of Puffs and Patches set out on an unparalleled venture. Never in the history of this year- book had there been such a rare combination of “Verbal” and “Quantitative.” What a year this proved to be ! There were untold times we doubted our survival, especially when there were my- riad pictures to identify, piles and piles of money to count, or deadlines to meet. But everybody pitched in and the work progressed. Queries of a limitless variety poured in from new staff members — queries which we directed often to the two “faithfuls”, Bruce and Karen, our able editors They always seemed to know the answers. No staff would be complete without a “handy man”. Such was Dee, competent business manager, photographer, lay-out consultant, typist — you name the job, Dee got it ! There were several girls, too, who could work anywhere and everywhere — even the sports section. Because the staff is large this year, it would be impossi- ble to mention each member or specify his duty. In fact, most of the students were versatile enough to do whatever necessity demanded. With an unequaled enthusiasm they would tackle the job at hand and delight in its completion. For your co-operation, labors of love, and especially for your sense of humor that kept us all going, your sponsors are indeed grateful. To paraphrase Sandburg, “Nothing like you ever was !” 147 PLEASE LOCK ME AWAY . . . Business man- agers Linda and Dee make routine checks on the yearbook funds. FEATURES... CHS students believe that their precious God-given right is the pursuit of happiness, which indeed they pursue with much happiness. They spend a great deal of their time on the dance floor — at sock hops, hootenan- nies, and formals. Fun and the principles of democracy are com- bined each year in the student council election. Another tradi- tion at Covington High is the yearly minstrel. In these and all other features of school life, our students display . . . The Spirit of Enthusiasm t 48 WONDERLAND BY NIGHT . . .

BROWN JUG GAME There is one day set apart each school year for the express purpose of maligning the good name of our nearest neighboring city. This special occasion is the Clifton Forge pep rally. This year “Granny Goose” Entsminger and the rest of the cheerleaders presented a take-off on the old Sleeping Beauty theme — only the beautiful dreamer this time was Sleeping Cougar (portrayed by Linda Rothwell). The evil Mountie (Penny Burks) sabotaged the poor Cougar by having him fall asleep in the middle of the important game. But — don’t lose any sleep over it — he was aw ' ak- ened by the roar and din of Cougar spirit. SOCK IT TO ’EM . . .

One of the highlights of this year’s activities was staged during half-time activities at the Homecom- ing game. Janet Paxton thrilled spectators with the first fire-twirling performance in C.II.S. history. Graceful and rhythmical, this group deserves a word of thanks for their outstanding contribution to our school and their boost to the Cougar spirit. Elizabeth Smith Janet Pa.xton Faye Bilbro 151 C.H.S. Students Show Cougar And Christmas Jl f } « 1 1 MAMA IN HER KERCHIEF . . . Even though it was not really Christmas Eve, Jean Scott’s rendition of “The Night Before Christmas” kept the audience in a yuletide spirit. 152 Spirit In The Christmas Formal Theme WONDERLAND BY NIGHT ’Twas the week before Christmas, and all through the gym There were pine boughs and snow balls and tinsel and trim traditional symbols of the yuletide season. Add to these, hard work, a beautiful Christmas tree, a fat, jolly Santa, mood music — furnished by the Gene Thomas Orchestra — and you have “Wonderland by Night.” Initiating just the right touch of Christ- mas spirit for the holidays that ensued, a better theme could not have been chosen for such a memo- rable evening. Enhancing the theme, Barbara Mappus provided a delightful solo, “Winter Wonderland.” The famil- iar, but never old, “The Night Before Christmas”, as read by Jean Scott, added a note of nostalgia to the entertainment of the evening. Not-so-Swiss re- freshments, served by Swiss Misses in a Swiss chalet, proved tasty indeed. As lights dimmed, flash bulbs exploded, “Merry Christmases” resounded and the last strains of Strauss faded into nothingness, “Winter Wonder- land” became an enchanting memory and the high- light of the 1966 Christmas season. SUCKERS FROM SANTA . . . “Boodie” Albert (alias Santa Claus) spreads Christmas cheer from his bag of candy. IN KEEPING WITH THE THEME . . .

MINSTREL GOES MOD Something old, something new — this expression seems to fit the 1967 Minstrel. It’s a mod, mod world, and this year the traditional features of the Minstrel were sparked by a modern touch : an enthusiastic audience found that “Swanee” and “Sugartbwn” could be rather pleasing on the same program. But what is a show if not people? Most of the music comes from the chorus, which might be called the “back- bone” of the production ; but there are other people who work equally hard. With tapping toes and kicking heels, the dancers show off their weeks of learning and practicing. And a feature that no Minstrel would dare do without are the endmen, who light-heartedly amuse and bedevil every- one with their jokes and antics. Kudos, of course, go to those people who worked so hard to get the show into shape. Mrs. Nell Fleshman did a fine job, having on her shoulders this year both chorus and dancers. Mr. Heretick, assisted by Mrs. Margaret White, saw to it that the endmen “did their stuff.” All of the work, practice, and patience paid off in compliments and a really professional production. 155 ry ■IhH THEY’VE GOT RHYTHM . . .

Politicians speak, offer a variety of campaip -ns, do favors — all in an at- tempt to win votes. “Office seekers” at C.H.S. are no exceptions. Expecting anybody and anything during the spe- cial S.C.A. assembly, students this year got just that: a band of Hell’s Angels and Twiggy’s unannounced de- but. However, when all the fun and frolic were finished, the voters listened intently to the candidates give their speeches and make their promises. On the next day students cast their votes for their choices — the ones they would like to see as their leaders next year. As in most elections, the turn- out was good, the results were anx- iously awaited, the votes were close, some were disappointed, others were elated. The S.C.A. elections once again reflected our democratic society, our light-hearted politicians, our undying Cougar Spirit.

For outstanding performance in sports, the coaches presented first year m onograms and second, third, and fourth year bars. Some of the girls re- ceived the covetecl “C” for intramural basketball and cheerleading. This year the Best Cheerleader trophy went to Penny Burks, with Karen Entsming- er and Rhonda Cook receiving special pins. At the scholastic awards assembly, pins and bars were given to students who had maintained a ninety- three average for the previous year. Also, certifi- cates were given in recognition of special achieve- ment in commercial subjects. It was announced that George Hicks would receive a full scholarship to David Lipscomb College. Also, re-establishing the practice of presenting Quill Scroll awards in jour- nalism, the yearbook staff named editors Karen Entsminger and Bruce Schaule for these honors. Eor winning the S.C.A. School Motto Contest, Janet Pax- ton received five dollars ; a plaque bearing her name and the motto will be placed in the lobby of the au- ditorium.

These seven girls competed for the title of “Miss Homecoming Queen of 1966”: Shelia Humphries, Penny Burks, Sheila Bess, Vicki Benton, Billie Plott, Linda Calehuff, and Karen Entsminger. 1966 Homecoming Queen, Miss Billie Plott The climax of every football sea- son is the crowning of the Home- coming Queen. This year the senior class nominated seven girls to run for this eminent title. Dressed in formal attire, these girls were pre- sented to the student body during a special assembly, held a week prior to the Homecoming game. Each stu- dent then voted for the candidate who he thought best typified the C.H.S. spirit. During half-time ceremonies of the William Byrd game, the contest- ants were escorted to the field. The suspense and anticipation of the week were terminated as Bill Zim- merman crowned Miss Billie Plott 1966 Homecoming Queen. Adding the perfect and final touches to the night, C.H.S. defeated William Byrd 44-6 — a memorable Homecoming indeed for students and alumni alike. CROWNIN(J TOUCH . . .

This year the upper- classmen were allowed their exemptions and prerogatives during their final six weeks’ period. Liberties included leaving the school grounds for lunch — Dairy Queen or Whitey’s — and exemption from study periods — studying or gabbing in desig- nated rooms or listening to music in the auditorium. They were also given the traditional license of getting out of class five minutes before lunch and school dismissal. In addition, seniors were per- mitted to take their exams before the underclassmen. However, the final and greatest privilege of all was graduation, carried out in the fine spirit of CHS. BOOM I ...

Rendezvous On VENUS Who would have thought that when the United States embarked on its space program the 1967 Senior class would be dancing in outer space! Yet there they were — enjoying a “Rendezvous on Venus.” Somewhat similar to earth, a specially prepared space station in the CHS gymnasium was equipped to overcome the lack of gravity. Among the spectacular features of Venus were the little “green men.” Accompanied by horns, whistles, and weird shouts, these creatures made their entrance. By using their super-sensitive an- tennae, they soon fulfilled their real purpose — the location of the Prom King and Queen. Disidaying unusual talents, other space inhabi- tants provided a variety of entertainment. The Maids of the Milky Way combined grace and rhythm in a celestial dance. Harmonizing in a duet, Pat Trempus and Ricky Claytor then en- chanted the audience with a journey in song, “Fly Me to the Moon.” Much too soon the “Rendezvous on Venus” was concluded; the juniors, seniors, and guests boarded the last rocket ship for a flight to earth. 168 MAIDS OF THE MILKY WAY . . . Becky Smith, Sarah Bayne, Nancy Robertson, Judy Heironimus, Jo Ellen Reid, and Pam Allison entertain with a Venetian dance. EXODUS . . .

Embarking in the ninth grade a student begins to mature and gains a wider margin of knowledge. As a freshman he develops in- to an individual; advanc- ing to the sophomore level, the student begins to ap- preciate his advantages, and as a junior the schol- ar, still maintaining the enthusiasm of youth, real- izes the serious aspects of his fast-approaching sen- ior year. Finally with the knowledge and the experi- ences gained at CHS, the graduate takes the big step into a new world, somewhat better pre)iared. Such is the progression of the jn-esent graduating class. Having grown from confused ninth graders to understanding seniors, they have develoiied into a well-rounded group of in- dividuals. For their scholastic iier- severance and excellence, George Hicks was chosen Valedictorian and Wanda Humphries Salutatorian. Also, recognizing scholar- ship and character were the Alumni Awards, pre- sented to Lewis Withrow and Janet Paxton, out- standing Boy and Girl Graduates. Recipients of other awards for out- standing achievement in- cluded : Athletic, William Hol- loway; Science, George Hicks; Home Economics, Brenda Gregory; Voca- tional, El wood Lowen; Mathematics, Lewis With- row; Band, Susan Meeks; English, Bruce Schaule; Creative Writing, Julie Pristash; Dramatics, Janet Paxton; Art, Donna Hep- ler; Commercial, Bremla Saylor; D.A.R. Good Citi- zenship Award, Karen Entsminger. After the moment of tri- umph — the receiving of di- plomas — nostalgia struck. The graduates departed from their Alma Mater, leaving behind tears and the eternal Cougar Spirit. 1967 School Year Saw Many Happenings SENIOR SI’OR ' I ' S SRE( ' TAt ' UEAl{ . . . Senior cheerleaders Rhonda Cook, Karen EntsininKer, and Penny Burks slaughter senior basketball players Lewis Withrow, Vernell Coles, Billy Holloway, and Ron Smith in quite a tranie. Not pictured is Bobby Gibson: the Kii ' ls had already taken care of him! F ' OOU FOR THOUGHT ... In the CHS cafetei-ia students find nourishment and an opportunity for chatter. . . . Happy Ones, Tearful Ones, and Some — So-So Well, This Is It . . . Scholastic ’66-’67 is over and another year lies ahead. We’ve all had our fun — pep rallies, ball games — and we’ve all had our trials and tribula- tions (need we mention exams?), but for the Class of ’67, this has been the year. Remember that big day two years ago when we got our rings? Boy, we really thought we were great. A ring — the symbol of seniority — and we wear them proudly even though it’s all over now. Remember the first assembly last year? We were the ones marching in, and everyone else was watch- ing us. Then, of course, we remember the really big things — the Senior Play that fell through, Senior Privileges, Class Day, the plans, the tears, the laughter, the arguments, the achievements. It’s funny — most of the time we were complain- ing — then came graduation. The tight throats, the tears; in our minds we saw the big moments — the good times with friends, the night of the Pi’oni, the Senior Banquet. Yes, it’s over for us, but we’ve a message fur the underclassmen: enjoy your senior year; it’ll mean a lot to you later. Remember, too, that after your senior year you’ll be on your own, so make all ' our mistakes now while you can still cori ' ect them. Well, Gang, take it easy ! You’re assuming our responsibilities now as we assume even greater ones. Good luck to all of us ! PLAYMATE OF THE MONTH . . .

No one knows what the future holds for the graduates of the tdass of ’67. THE SOUND OF SILENCE . . . When all are gone, only silence remains . . . and awaits their return. ADVERTISING... Good relations between a high school and its community are important. Such harmony very definitely exists in Coving- ton. The local merchants are most generous in purchasing ad- vertising space in football pro- grams and in this yearbook. As a matter of fact, were it not fo]“ our advertisers, PUFFS and PATCHES would not be the suc- cessful publication that it is. There truly exists between city and school . . . The Spirit of Co-operation )78 CRACKIN’ UP? Such is the fate of these two little piggies who went to the local bank to have their contents credited to the yearbook fund.
