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
