Text from Pages 1 - 236 of the 1969 volume:

REFERENCE ONLY A w s Do Not Remove from the Library I JI In Memoriam Mrs. Margaret H. “Maggie” White, who served Covington High School faithfully from 1948 to 1968, died on January 16, 1969. She will be long remembered and loved by the entire student body and faculty. She was an ardent supporter of education, leader among faculty members, and a strict but affectionate foster parent to her host of students. Although her period of service was all too brief, her influence will be everlasting. ■ r A M : w wt !XTT 4; i i£ • t ' _ )■ A mm ■, � . naesr - - ■ ttgggfl _ Year Heralds “THIS IS THE WAY WE WASH THE BOARD” . . . Miss Mahaney explains how to wash a board to not-so-eager Larry Smith. The year 1969 brought many new faces and numerous changes to CHS. We gained a new principal and four very capable new teachers. Also, and some might say unfortunately, we re- ceived new rules and regulations to guide us in our daily activities. Veteran students hospitably greeted a bright class of eighth graders, whose number increased the total enrollment to eight hundred and sixteen. It can very easily be stated that each day brings to the students of Covington High School, “A TOUCH OF SOMETHING NEW.” COUNTDOWN . . .

You can’t be sure when Sharman Neal, Reda Garrett, Kathy Dressier, Freda Agnor, Suzie Wolfe, and Janet Basham pile in Janet’s “mean machine.” “WHAT NOW, MY LOVE?” . . . Cynthia Purkey and Darius Hepler say their fond farewells between classes. 15 t$s§ 1 Jt Uk, . 1 I I ■ 1 1 ! M i� - t “WE CAN WORK IT OUT, MR. HERETICK” . . . The smiles of Miss Alexander and Mr. Heretick indicate that the problem of bus schedules is nearly solved. Our People Behind The Scenes Separated but not separate from Covington High School are Mr. James E. Laughlin, Miss Lillian Alexander and Mr. John Heretick. With the guidance and supervision of these capable administrators, C.H.S. has experienced a year of change. Although he has served Covington City Schools for only two years, Superintendent Laughlin has initiated many new ideas into the system. His untiring interest in C.H.S. has gained for him the respect and friendship of each student and teacher. Making Mr. Laughlin’s job easier are Supervisors Lillian Alex- ander and John Heretick. Their experience and outstanding enthusiasm enable them to fulfill their duties exceptionally well. James E. Laughlin Superintendent of Covington City Schools 18 Mr. Trumbo, Albert Keep School On Its Toes “EVERYBODY LOVES SOMEBODY SOMETIME”... but Buster Reynolds can’t understand why Mr. Albert has to choose Maude Griffin to listen to his crooning. The greatest change at Covington High School this year is Whitney E. Trumbo. Mr. Trumbo, who came to C.H.S. from Natural Bridge High School, succeeds Mr. John Heretick as principal. Sincere in his endeavors to improve Covington High School, Mr. Trumbo shows interest in all aspects of high school life. Not only does he stress the importance of scholastic achievement, but he also encourages students to participate in extracurricular activities. Mr. Trumbo is a strong disciplinarian and emphasizes sportsmanship as a necessary quality of all young adults. As Mr. Trumbo’s “right-hand man”, Mr. Francis “Boodie” Albert aids our principal in fulfilling his goals. In addition to his duties as assistant principal, Mr. Albert has many other responsibilities. He serves C.H.S. as athletic director, head football coach, and teacher. Mr. Trumbo and Mr. Albert, in conjunction with the other administrative personnel, faculty, and students, are working diligently to make Covington High a top school. Whitney E. Trumbo B.A., M.Ed. Bridgewater College, University of Virginia; Principal. 19 Faithful Stand-bys Help School To Function Mrs. Ernestine Humphrie; Secretary “V-E-R-Y INTERESTING!” . . . Mrs. Humphries is giddily amused with the results of the office photo-copier. Mrs. Ernestine Cashwell Secretary A valuable new addition to the faculty of C.H.S. is Mrs. Louise Burks. She has relieved many teachers of the hectic task of keeping study halls. Having no other duty, Mrs. Burks manages to maintain her sanity by reading thick novels and knitting sweaters. Two other irreplaceable persons at Covington High School are Mrs. Ernestine Humphries and Mrs. Ernestine Cashwell. As school secretaries, some of their responsibilities include typing letters, sorting the mail, making announcements, and aiding distressed students and teachers. No matter how busy they may be, Mrs. Humphries and Mrs. Cashwell greet everyone with a smile. “YOU CAN’T PULL THE WOOL OVER MY EYES!” . . . chuckles Mrs. Burks-and her five study hall classes know she means business. Our Guiding Lights Aid In Our Future The main objective of the Guidance Department is to counsel each student so that he may better understand himself. The counselor tries to understand the students as individuals and attempts to fulfill their needs. The counselors of this department plan and, with the help of the entire faculty, administer the various testing programs at C.H.S. They also set up group guidance programs through- out the school year— including assemblies and homeroom programs. Through the efforts of the Guidance Department, materials are made available to help students arrive at sound adjust- ments, make wise choices, and plan for future vocations. AND NEXT YEAR . . . Mrs. Pitman is always willing to lend a helping hand to confused eighth graders. Here Peggy Powell receives just the encouragement she needs. Helen H.

Lincoln Memorial University, Syracuse University; Physical Education, Biology; Football. Sanford H. Carper B.S. Lincoln Memorial University, East Tennessee State Univer- sity; Physical Education; Ju- nior Varsity Football and Bas- ketball. Phy. Ed. Department Stresses Fitness More and more people in today’s society are making some kind of physical exercise a part of their daily lives. Getting an early start are the students at C.H.S. Required to take three years of physical education, all students in eighth, ninth, and tenth grades participate in an invigorating and refreshing program. Not only do these teenagers learn the traditional calisthenics, but they are also compelled to complete courses in first aid, health education, and classroom driver education. Of special interest to the girls are lessons in creative dancing, etiquette, and the social graces. The boys, of course, take part in touch football, wrestling, and rope climbing. All in all, physical education at Covington High School is both healthful and entertaining for everyone. “I’D RATHER DO IT MYSELF!” . . . Ralph Williams appears rather reluctant to accept Mr. Robertson’s and Mr. Carper’s advice as he wrestles Harold Lambert. Industrial Arts Shows Creativity John C. Hawkins B.S. Western Carolina College, University of North Carolina; Mechanical Drawing, Architec- tural Drawing, Exploratory Art; Eighth Grade Basketball Coach, “THE HOUSE THAT JOHN BUILT” ... is actually a model used by Mr. Hawkins in his architectural drawing classes. Industrial Arts classes attempt to give students an insight into and an understanding of the technology of industry. Mr. Hawkins, Mr. Douglas, and Mr. Anderson work cooperatively to encourage creativity and critical thinking. Mr. Hawkins, teaching mechanical and architectural draw- ing, tries to prepare his students for future vocations in these arts. Mr. Anderson, who is primarily associated with the I.C.T. program, also teaches one class of mechanical drawing. Mr. Douglas gives instruction in woodworking. Students enrolled in this class gain the experience to construct items for personal and professional uses. Using these courses to supplement their leisure time activities, students find the Industrial Arts program very stimulating. “I WON’T GROW UP!” • • • insists Mr. Douglas, who has just completed this toy hat rack in shop class.

I., University of Richmond, Southern Baptist Theo- logical Seminary, University of Virginia; Driver Training. Home Ec., Driver Ed. Train For Future The courses in Practical Arts offered at C.H.S. include home economics and driver education. These courses give the student skills necessary for the future. Driver education is a program which stresses safe operation of an automobile and mechanics. It provides both classroom instruction and behind-the-wheel training. Driver Ed. attempts to help students become safe, efficient, and courteous users of motor vehicles. Home Economics must be comprehensive in scope to keep up with the changing aspects of home and family life. This department makes an effort to help students gain and use skills essential for homemaking tasks in their present and future homes. One of the most useful programs at C.H.S. , Practical Arts prepares the student to face future responsibilities. Harriet Hepler B.S., M.S., R.P.I.

Pat Lemons is hastily preparing for one of Miss Hepler’s frequent visits to the Home Economics kitchen. 25 On-the-Job Training Lets Students Earn And Learn To prepare individuals for gainful employment or advance- ment in a distribution job is the main objective of Distributive Education. Local businessmen cooperate with the D.E. stu- dents to provide practical application of the instruction they receive in class. This training enables the students to develop high standards in merchandising which will benefit the buying public, the employee, and employer. Industrial Cooperative Training is a part-time cooperative program of education, offering training in a wide variety of trade and industrial occupations. Students may train in such fields as radio and television repair, electronics, cabinet making, cosmetology, automobile mechanics, and general paper work. Classroom instruction includes the study of labor unions, safety, insurance, taxation, personality improvement, and em- ployee-employer relations. Both D.E. and I.C.T. bring to the individual an understand- ing and appreciation of the free enterprise system in our country. “NO, WE WILL NOT RUN A MICKEY MOUSE FILM!” ... Mr. Anderson’s patience has worn thin with Mickey Bowyer’s love for cartoons. DING! TEN DOLLARS, PLEASE . . . Chris Ergenbright gets first-hand experience as a saleslady in Mr. Rose’s D. E. class. J.

To keep up with this pace, the Commercial Department at C.H.S. produces students with the skills, habits, and attitudes necessary for success in a business career. Coming to Covington with previous teaching and working experience, Mrs. Virginia Williams has found her first year at C.H.S. a successful and satisfying one. Her commercial students admit to her exemplary teaching ability and value her personal interest in them. Heading the business department is Miss Beulah Jones. She comes to the aid of both general and college prep students who realize the necessity of typing know-how. Miss Jones also instructs students in general business. Students from all tracks of study are better prepared for the future because of the dedication of both of these teachers. “NOW, BEVERLY, WRITE IT; DON’T DRAW IT” . . . Mrs. Williams demonstrates to Beverly Rickett the correct method of taking dictation. Mrs. Virginia A. Williams B.S. Concord College; Typing I, II, Shorthand I, II, Bookkeeping I; Pep Club. Beulah A.

Radford College; Spanish I, II, III; Spanish Club. Students Attempt Language Mastery Most every young person has a secret desire to master a foreign language. C.H.S. gives its students the opportunity to fulfill this desire by offering Latin I, II; French I, II, III; and Spanish I, II, III. The teachers of the Foreign Language Department expect their students to develop skills in listening, speaking, writing, and reading. These skills enable students to increase their ability to understand the spoken language. The cultural education of the students enrolled in a foreign language is broadened by special stress on the history, customs, and culture of the country studied. This emphasis makes the students more aware of the world around them. “BONJOUR!” . . . Mrs. Briggs kindly welcomes an unexpected visit from the cameraman. “UMMM! QU CdMICO!” . . . This Little Lulu comic book apparently tickles Mrs. Plott’s Puerto Rican funny bone. 28 “AUDIE, WOULD YOU PLEASE HURRY UP! THE SHOW MUST GO ON” . . . says Mrs. Fleshman as she supervises Audie Lambert’s attempt to assemble his tuba. Fine Arts Add Enjoyment To C.H.S. Curriculum Many students at C.H.S. strive to round out their education by enrolling in one or several of the fine arts courses offered. For the first time this year, an experimental program in fine arts and vocational training is open to a voluntary group of eighth graders. It is hoped that in the future one of these electives will be a requirement for graduation. In connection with this program, Mr. John Hawkins is instructing the eighth grade art participants. The general art program, taught by Mrs. Mary Ervine, is available to students in grades nine through twelve. By creating scenery and decorations for school functions and local shows, these art students prove to be a valuable asset to both Covington High School and the community. Because of the excellent direction of Mrs. Nell Fleshman, C.H.S. senses great pride in its band, vocal, and public speaking departments. Their many school and public performances demonstrate the abilities and talents of both the students and teacher. Mrs. Nell K. Fleshman B. Music Ed.

Mr. Armstrong is often found housecleaning the chemical storage room. 30 A Place At CHS Science is an open-ended intellectual activity, and what is “known” or believed today is subject to change at any time. Since many individuals will receive no further formal instruc- tion in science after graduation, C.H.S. tries to prepare both those college bound students and those who will enter the labor market. Students begin their study of science in the eighth grade with a fundamental course in earth science. All college preparatory students continue their investigation with biology in their sophomore year and chemistry in their junior year. Physics is available to college bound seniors who are inclined toward the physical and technical sciences. The complete science program at Covington High School stimulates in students an appreciation of the orderliness, beauty, drama, and tragedy of the world about us. frogs for her biology classes to roast on their Bunsen burners.

History Helps Students Understand Government The Social Studies Department attempts to help students discover their role in the changing world of today. Involved in this development as a future citizen is a better understanding of our own cultural, social, political, and economic heritage. Social Studies involves the development of Such skills as creative expression, objective analysis, and an understanding of the relationship of concepts and fundamental knowledge. A variety of teaching methods is used, such as debates, fdms, panel discussions, and speakers. Teachers are allowed freedom to introduce new methods and select supplementary materials. Realizing that our own culture cannot be separated from that of other countries, the teachers of the Social Studies Department make an effort to instill in their students an understanding of and an appreciation for the world culture.

Math Adds Extra Dimension Each teacher in the Mathematics Department has sufficient background to meet the needs of his students. Each is familiar with recent developments in the teaching of mathematics and participates actively in workshops, institutes, and professional meetings. The basic fundamentals of math provide immediate goals so that the student will want to acquire practical skills and knowledge. With these skills he can make accurate com- parisons and computations based on intelligent thinking. The various math courses also provide an understanding of the application of mathematics to the aspects of daily life. The mathematics program at C.H.S. strives to prepare each student to assume his place in society and to become a productive citizen. CLEAR YOUR DESKS!” . . . Miss Mahaney thoroughly enjoys spring- ing pop tests on her geometry students. “A TEACHER’S WORK IS NEVER DONE” . . . sighs Mrs. Curfman as she attempts some of her paper work. ■■■■■■aaasi ■■■■H99999I ■ ■ ■■laaMMlil • i‘ if-% — ' ll — II — ,nr OBVIOUSLY! . . .

Mrs. Jennings directs seniors Suzie Hicks, Becky Davidson, and Kathy Calehuff in their portrayal of a scene from Macbeth. Language experts agree that the English language is prob- ably the most difficult to learn. However, the experienced and understanding English teachers at C.H.S. help students to overcome this difficulty. Students of English not only master the correct way of constructing varied and effective sentences, but they also learn to use their talents to create short stories and term papers. Through their English classes, students receive encouragement to submit essays to be judged on a competitive basis. No English course is complete without the study of famous authors and their literary masterpieces— both classic and mod- ern. To supplement this instruction, students are required to read a specific number of parallel books. With this knowledge of the thoughts of past generations, graduates of C.H.S. enter the changing world better prepared to communicate. Mrs. Betty C.

The responsibility of caring for visual aids is eagerly assumed by David Roth well, Curtis Craft, Billy Jo Withrow, and Mike Whitehead. A library is not only a place of escape, but it also provides an atmosphere for learning. Habitual use enables the student to develop to his highest capacity and to lay a foundation to build upon after school. Ably assisted by librarian Miss Payne, students become better acquainted with the library system. Also, one group of girls is trained to assist with library work. This is the Library Staff, which aids Miss Payne in the checking in and out of books and cataloging of new books. Another group connected with the library is the Visual Aids. These boys are responsible for the transport of the Visual Aids equipment to the teachers who request it. LIBRARY STAFF . . .

Our hats are off to the Cafeteria Staff, whose time and efforts are greatly appreciated by everyone. Another force behind the scenes at C.H.S. is the Custodial Staff. Working around the clock, two crews of janitors conquer all the great and small emergencies, as well as keep the buildings and grounds clean. A special thanks goes to the Custodians, whom we could not do without. MR. CLEAN’S TASK FORCE . . .

As Sadie Jordan casts her ballot, she wonders if her favorite candidate will win. On Tuesday, November 5, Covington High School held a mock election. The junior and senior history and government students presented an assembly in the morning to inform the student body about the Presidential candidates. Renee George served as narrator, with LeRonna Williams, Linda Gibson, and David Martin reporting on interesting facets of voting. This was followed with the backgrounds and issues of each candi- date. After the assembly and during the rest of the day, students voted at one of the two precincts set up in the school. The results were: George Wallace, 316; Richard Nixon, 195; and Hubert Humphrey, 138. 45 SPEAKING UP! . . . Humphrey representatives, Steve Sams and Roland Mack; Nixon fans, Kathy Ludington and Greg Reynolds; and Wallace supporters, Larry Smith and Tom Perry, pull for their candidates. WHOOPEE! . . .

There were several highlights of this all-important period: the cheerleaders presented one of the very best skits in the history of CHS at an assembly on Friday morning, the annual Clifton Forge- Covington football classic was played Friday night with a victorious score for the Cougars of 34 to 9. The following Monday the co-captains of the Mountaineers returned the Little Brown Jug to its rightful owners— the Cougars! The Sadie Hawkins Dance climaxed the football season. This “girl-ask -boy” affair was sponsored by the cheerleaders. Eunice Dressier and Danny Burkholder ruled over the “Dogpatch Critters” as Daisy Mae and Lil’ Abner.

The winner was kept secret until half-time ceremonies at the William Byrd -Covington game. As the band played “Girl Watcher”, every eye in the stadium was on the ten lovely ladies. This year the royal honors went to Miss Linda Dare Rothwell. Another outstanding feature of the Homecoming activities was the presentation of the Alumni Award to Jim Bob Lemon, now manager of the Washing- ton Senators. The finale of the evening was the defeat of William Byrd 28-14. 48 MISS BEVERLY RICHARD and escort MIKE HARDY MISS ELIZABETH TOOMBS and escort JAMES OLIVER MISS REBECCA DAVIDSON and escort RICHARD OGBURN MISS BEVERLY RICKETT and escort CARL WRIGHT MISS KAREN BOONE and escort JOHN EASTON MISS DEBORAH GILBERT and escort RICHARD BOWYER MISS LAURA SUE HICKS and escort THOMAS PERRY MISS KATHLEEN CALEHUFF and escort STEVEN SAMS MISS ELIZABETH SMITH and escort DAVID ALLISON 49 Students Dance To Music ADDED ATTRACTION . . . Elizabeth Toombs adds an air of warmth as she sings “Silver Bells” at the Christmas Formal. The opening of the Christmas season always finds Covington High School students in a beehive of activity. The traditional winter formal, which is sponsored by the Student Council, begins to take shape. Each and every student is more than willing to abandon his studies and follow the well-worn trail to the gym. The muddled minds of the SCA members are brimming over with the hope of a better-than-ever dance. In keeping with the Christmas spirit, the theme for this year’s formal was taken from Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker Suite.” The outstanding feature in the decorations was the elimination of the gigantic tree in the center of the floor. The tree was replaced by huge, sparkling bells. This gay affair, which put everyone into a holiday mood, launched students on a welcome two-weeks’ vacation. ARE YOU READY? . . . Valerie Mundy and Sharon Persinger, with brushes in hand, are ready to add artistic decorations. HELLO BOYS AND GIRLS! THIS IS YOUR STORYBOOK LADY! ... No, not really, but Becky Levisay, in keeping with the theme of the formal, treats the guests with “The Nutcracker Suite.” 50 Of The Nutcracker Suite ELEGANT I OOKING . . . Robin Whiteside and Steve Sams dance as the band plays on. 51 THE 1969 MINSTREL CAST Old Show — Always New As always, the Covington Higli School Minstrel drew a responsive audience and proved to be a successful perfor- mance. Dating back to 1932, the Minstrel was first held in the old Administration Building and then at the Strand Theater. Since 1940, however, Curfman Hall has been the setting for the three-night run, which has drawn an over-capacity crowd for each annual performance. A certain bit of nostalgia pervaded the ’69 Minstrel, for this was the last show for Mrs. Nell Fleshman. A familiar face at the piano, Mrs. Fleshman is an old friend whom the audience has expected to find year after year, keeping the show in order with prompt cues, a nod of the head, and an approving smile. The student body wishes to pay tribute to a great lady for her untiring efforts in producing an always great Minstrel. This year the traditional songs “Come on Down South”, “Alabama Bound,” and “Here Comes the Showboat” were combined with modern Broadway hits, such as “Hello Dolly”, featuring Libbie Fletcher and Ralph Williams, and a popular rendition of “You Got Soul” by Everett Hughes. The entire cast, including prankish endmen, versatile dancers, and inter- locutor Ralph Williams, handled the entire “old” but “new” show in a professional manner. DETERMINATION . . . Always with a smile, Mrs. Fleshman annually plays the tunes that make the Minstrel a success. 52 I WANT YOU! . . .

As the chorus sings “Girl Watcher”, Renee George and Susan Dilley give the “girl watchers” a girl to look at. “YOU GOT SOUL” . . . “You can tell by the way they walk” that Suzie Wolfe, Becky Levisay, and Bamma Snead really have that “soul”. “HELLO DOLLY”... Ralph Williams seems elated as “Dolly” (Libbie Fletcher) comes home. WRAPPED UP! . . . Vickie Thompson tells us in her song “What a Wonderful World” this could be. THE STARS OF THE SHOW! . . . S.

Abby (Ann Stettner) and Martha (Chris Ergenbright) excitedly exclaim over the opportunity to contribute again to their favorite charity. “Arsenic Old Lace” Knocks ’Em Cold The Senior Class of 1969 presented Joseph Kesselring’s “Arsenic and Old Lace” as their annual class play. There were numerous characters portrayed. First of all was Teddy Brewster, played by Whitman Ellis, one of the “mad” persons who was later committed after he charged up San Juan Hill and dug locks in the cellar (Panama Canal). Aunt Abby and Aunt Martha, better known as Ann Stettner and Chris Ergenbright, were the old ladies who killed old men to ease their worries and take their loneliness away. The “dear” ladies put poison in their victims’ wine and then buried them in Teddy’s locks. Next was Jonathan Brewster, or Tom Perry, who was living on the wrong side of the tracks. He came to visit his aunts. Mortimer Brewster, John Whitehead, was the nice member of the family and the only sane one. As the main actor in the play, he discovered one of the aunts’ “dead” roomers. Mortimer thought that he should straighten things out, so he set out to do so. Elaine Harper, portrayed by Kathy Calehuff, who was his fiancee, almost gave him up when he continued sending her home and breaking their dates. Other seniors who participated in the production were Marsha Miller, Ricky Dickson, Steve Snead, Richard Ogburn, Jerry Wolfe, William Stuple, Greg Reynolds, David Allison, and Becky Levisay. The cast, aided by Kathy Lockhart, Vickie Thompson, Mr. Fred Shaw, and the “behind-the-scenes” crew, turned in a spectacular performance. “I’VE BEEN WORKING ON THE PLAY” . . . Say crew members S. Smith, L. Craft, E. Smith, K. Howard, K. Boone, S. McDaniel, B. Deavers, B. Rickett, B. Drepperd, C. Campbell, L. Crush, J. Basham, S. Burch, L. Nicely, V. Thompson, and D.

Donece Barber and Linda Slayton (Martians) shoot their “ray guns”-forcing members of the student body to vote for their vice-presidential candidate, Sharon Breeden. MARCHING ONWARD . . . Susan Burr and her many followers hit the “old campaign trail” for Tommy Garten in his race for president of the S. C. A. 58 DON’T CRY! . . . Jackie Jones asks Heather Calehuff not to cry, as everyone will surely vote for Cindy Crawford for treasurer. Politics Invade CHS For A Second Time GROOVIN’ WITH THE GURU . . . Mickey Bowyer meditates on the success of his presidential candidate, Gary St. Clair. There was an air of excitement in the late spring when students entered their own political arena. The auditorium was filled with whistles, laughter, and applause as each candidate entered a plea for votes. This was the setting for the assembly devoted to the Student Council election. Demonstrations, promises, songs, and campaign speeches led each student in his choice for Student Council officers. The assembly was followed by a “day at the polls.” The carelessness was gone, and the seriousness of choosing new officers took over. And so, the newly elected leaders, with a summer ahead to ponder their responsibilities, prepared to guide the student body through the year ahead. “DO YOU WANNA’ GO TO AN ELECTION?” . . . This is the question asked by T. P. Hern (The Dirty Old Man) to Susan Dilley (The Little Old Lady) as they campaign for Reda Garrett. “I WILL DO MY BEST” . . . These are familiar words from the new officers Reda Garrett, Secretary; Melinda Snead, Vice-president; Cynthia Crawford, Treasurer; Tommy Garten, President, as they commit themselves to a year of faithful service. 59 Seniors — What A “SAY GOOD MORNING, DICK’’ . . . “DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE HEREAFTER?” . . . Susan Carver knew what Corbin Anderson was “Good morning, Dick,” replies Dick Albert there after, so she “let him have it” with her pocketbook.

Tom Perry and Gary Keener capably emceed the program. The seniors presented episodes from their past, present, and possible future in segments resembling those used in “Laugh In”. Recalled from the past were the “phantom fire bell ringer”, a notorious tale-telling teacher, and the long hair petition. The present was taken from the senior year and included the senior play, cancelled trips, and the latest football fashion. The future forecasted seniors as outstanding members of “Who’s Who” and predicted that many would have unusual occupations. The antics of Class Day 1969 undoubtedly proved “What a Way We’ve Been”. “WHAT’S THE NEWS ACROSS THE NATION?” . . . Equipped with big mouths and bigger gym suits, the senior “news” girls gave the information. “FROGGIE WENT A ’COURTIN’” ... to find a giant python; instead, Chris Ergenbright found Robert Smith (King Neptune). “IT’s PARTY TIME!” . . . Instead of the usual coffee break, C.H.S. teachers, portrayed by a group of seniors, enjoy a “party” break. 61 Twelve Senior Girls Judged WHO’S NEXT?” ASKS JUDGE JOHN RICE . . . Debbie Gilbert, Suzie Hicks, Kathy Calehuff, Susan Carver, Joan Holloway, Edith Smith, Linda Rothwell, Ann Stettner, and Libby Toombs, Miss C.H.S. contestants, do not care to volunteer. Each year the senior class selects contestants for the honored title of Miss C. H. S. This is truly an honor for one lucky senior girl. The judges for this year’s contest were prominent people in the community, not associated with the school. They were Miss Carolyn Nettleton, Mrs. C. W. Bayne, Mr. Fred Merica, and Mr. John Rice. The girls are judged on personality, poise. beauty, and a general knowledge of many subjects. This year there were twelve girls vying for this honor. The girls appeared twice on stage for the judges before they were questioned individually. At the end of the evening, three of the girls were named as finalists. However, the identity of Miss C.H.S. and the order of the runners-up are kept secret until the yearbook is delivered. Miss Jean Elizabeth Smith First Runner-up 62 Miss Rebecca Lee Davidson Second Runner-up Coveted Title Of Miss CH.S. Goes To Senior Beverly Rickett The lovely Miss Beverly Ann Rickett was chosen Miss C.H.S. for the year of 1969. 63 Students Are Honored For During the closing week at Covington High School, students were recognized for their accomplishments in both athletic and academic fields. In addition, the D. A. R. Award was presented to Senior Becky Levisay for good citizenship. Students engaged in varsity sports and intramural sports received monograms and second, third, and fourth year bars for their participation. A trophy for Cheerleader of the Year was presented to Sharman Neal for her outstanding performance on the varsity squad. Monograms were given to the cheerleaders completing their first year; bars were also awarded to those girls com- pleting their second and third years. In addition, commercial awards were presented to those girls who excelled in typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, and filing. To conclude the program, Mr. Albert presented the Blue Ridge District Championship Trophy to Ron Cosby, co- captain of the varsity football squad. CHEERLEADER OF THE YEAR . . .

Juniors Treat Seniors to a Trip to Venice For the Junior-Senior Prom the junior class seated the seniors in a gondola and sent them down a beautiful canal in Venice. The trip, which took from 9:00 to 1:00, was soon over but not soon forgotten. The gym was decorated with wall murals of Venice, a gondola, and a sparkling fountain, which was actually stocked with 15 goldfish. The music was provided by the Royal Virginians, who played a variety of slow and fast music and even took requests. Following the crowning of Linda Rothwell and Richard Dickson as King and Queen of the 1969 Prom, the juniors provided their own special entertainment. Included in this program were singing, dancing, and a skit — all in Venetian style, of course. The traditional Grand March, in which seniors and junior class officers participated, added a touch of sentiment to the gala occasion. All too soon the evening ended; falling streamers of crepe paper, empty tables, crushed paper cups and napkins, and fond memories were the only remnants of the trip to Venice. ROYALTY LOOKS ON . . .

After losing the first two games to Martinsville and Staunton, the Cougars upset District favorite Cave Spring by a 20 to 13 count and went on to win the next seven games, plus the Blue Ridge Championship. To end the season, the Cougars reclaimed the Little Brown Jug in a spirited 34 to 9 game. All-state choice Ron Cosby received able assistance from offensive halfbacks Alec White and R. C. Williams. The defense was led by stars Harold Lambert, Ed Kenny, “Red” Keener and John Whitehead. The 1969 season looks bright with over half of the Varsity team returning and an undefeated J.V. team moving up. ANXIOUS ALBERT . . .

Eighth Graders Fall To 3-2 Season Fighting and scrapping from start to finish, Coaches Douglas and Carper’s charges emerged with a 3-2 winning season. The highlight of the season was the defensive duel between the little Cougars and Alleghany. In this thriller the Covington Eighth Graders managed to win by scoring a safety late in the fourth quarter, which accounted for the only two points in the game. Baby Cougars who will see plenty of J. V. action next year are Steve Arritt, Terry Peters, and Malfourd Trumbo. 1968 J. V.

Cagers Experience Many Surprises The 1969 season for the Covington Cougars was filled with both surprise and disappointment. Gaining a victory from a tough Glenvar team and then being dealt a disappointing blow by the Addison cagers set the stage for the remainder of the season. The big contests were the 73-72 Alleghany game, the 59-52 victory over Clifton Forge, and the 73-69 win over Liberty. Leading the Cougar Cagers to a 9-9 season were Captain Greg Reynolds, Gary St. Clair, Alec White, and Eugene Dillon, all of whom turned in impressive performances. The Cougars, in spite of excellent teamwork and powerful determination, were overwhelmed by Addison in a 67-53 Blue Ridge District Tournament loss. Coach Bobby Via, completing his second year as head coach, looks forward to a brighter season next year when the majority of the varsity will be returning. 80 HOW HIGH CAN YOU FLY? . . .

Junior Cougars Gain Experience For Future The eighth grade basketball team, suffering greatly from inexperience, stumbled to a 3-7 record. The little Gagers did manage to upset rival Alleghany to highlight their short season. Coach John Hawkins’ bright prospect for this season was in the form of William Crawley with his 82 point season total. The J.V. Cagers, slumping from their previous 14-5 season record to a 4-14 record, suffered a disappointing season. The junior Cagers made a fine effort, but lack of rebounding power took its toll on the final season mark.

Matmen Have Winning Season; Cougars Host District Meet The determined Covington matmen grappled their way to a winning 8-6 record. It was the first winning wrestling season for C.H.S. since 1961. The real heartbreak of the season, however, was the 26-23 loss to state power Pulaski. The Cougar attack was led by freshman Harry Huff; sophomores Harold Lambert, Berkley Pax- ton, and Mike Vest; and juniors Greg Paxton, Fred Pifer, and Ed Kenny. Gary Keener was the lone senior who performed for the team. These eight men had a combined season record of 73-37. As a climax to the season, C.H.S. was host to the Blue Ridge District for the annual wrestling tournament. In this district meet the Cougars p laced third with 54 points. Fred Pifer, who placed first in the district tournament, went off to capture fourth place in the state tournament. A second place district tournament winner, Harold Lambert, captured another fourth place state tournament win for the Cougar cause. Other second place district winners were the Paxton brothers, Ed Kenny, and Harry Huff. COVINGTON’S CHARLES ATLAS ...

Cindermen won two regular track meets and were able to place third in a six-team meet. Led by Junior David Martin, Captain of the team, and Senior Ricky Dickson and Junior Russell Mann, the team defeated rival Clifton Forge by a 12 l AA3Vi margin.

Members of the Cougar baseball team congratulate their Alleghany opponents after suffering a heartbreaking one-run defeat, Great Baseball Season Upset by Clifton 1-0 Winning the first nine out of ten games, the Covington Cougars threatened to be the power team of the area before the unexpected Cougar slump appeared. Then, after losing a close 1-0 game with Clifton Forge, the Cougars lost four straight games. The disappointing losses were the extra-inning games with Liberty (1-0) and Cave Spring (3-2). The Cougar hardballers were led by Captain Gary Keener, Marion Trumbo, Gary St. Clair, and Senior Greg Reynolds. Trumbo and Reynolds held top batting honors with .346 and .311 hitting averages, respectively The C.H.S. pitching staff performed exceptionally well under the direction of veteran Roscoe Humphries. Able mound assistance was provided by Marion Trumbo, Danny Clark, and Gary Munsey. Richard Ogburn, Tommy Garten, and David Caldwell provided the balance the Cougars needed for apt performance. Because of the youth and experience of the Cougar team, a rare combination indeed, Coach Phil Douglas is expecting a fine team to appear in 1970 . 90 CLOSE AT THE PLATE . . .

Front to back: Christy Lockhart, Captain; Susan Smith; Joni Benton; Vickie Kerns; Heather Calehuff; Naomi Biggs. C.H.S. added a new attraction to sports activities; for the first time a squad of Eighth Grade cheerleaders was chosen by the faculty to boost the morale of those participating in eighth grade sports. These girls, as well as the members of the JV and Varsity cheerleaders, spent long hours during the summer to practice and perfect their cheers. A real treat for the Varsity Squad, elected by the student body in the spring, was the camp for cheerleaders, held at Virginia Beach during the summer. Here the girls spent a week comparing their cheers with those of other schools and learning new ones. In squad competition with other schools, C.H.S. Varsity cheerleaders claimed two second-place ribbons, one third-place ribbon, and an honorable mention. In the fall after the Covington-Clifton Forge game, the Varsity cheerleaders sponsored the annual Sadie Hawkins dance. This activity enabled the girls to earn money for squad expenses. All in all, the three groups of cheerleaders arouse school spirit, reign over pep rallies, and send the teams on to victory. EIGHTH GRADE CHEERLEADERS . . .

Miss Thomas Sponsor of Student Council The governing body at Covington High School consists of thirty-seven elected representatives who form the Student Council. This organization’s most outstanding purpose is to unite the students to set up a better school environment. The members find the wise advice and sincere interest of their sponsor, Miss Helen Thomas, helpful to them. A committee was set up this year to revise the constitution. And for the first time, the group gained funds for their treasury by sponsoring the Homecoming Dance. Besides initiating several activities, the council conformed to the traditional ones, also. Students made two television appear- ances on Klassroom Kwiz and Saturday Session. They again planned and decorated for the annual Christmas Formal, using as their theme, “The Nutcracker Suite.” The members believe that they have contributed to a successful school year. They have tried to set an example for the student body and to conform to the ethics set by councils of previous years. EXECUTIVE BOARD . . .

With Mr. Thacker as sponsor, the chapter held regular meetings twice each month and carried on many activities. There were many service projects undertaken by the Jr. Jaycees this year. Members announced play-by-play action of all home basketball games. The group also solicited for the March of Dimes Drive. A car wash proved profitable with pro- ceeds going toward club activities. Any club needs a certain amount of entertain- ment, and the Jaycees are no exception. The Christmas party at the Alleghany Country Club was a most enjoyable occasion. Creating a great deal of excitement was the contest lor Sweet- heart Queen, the winner of which was senior Susan Carver. Providing entertainment of an athletic nature, the basketball game with Alle- ghany Jaycees resulted in victory for C.H.S. Jaycees with a score of 75-68. Although the Jr. Jaycees is one of the youngest organizations at Covington High, the chapter has proved to be a very active group. MEMBERS OF THE JR. JAYCEES . . . First Row: T. Garten, R. Ogbum, L.

Tri-Hi-Y Encourages Christian Attitudes The Tri-Hi-Y, with a new sponsor, Mrs. Mary Mustoe, undertook various service projects this year in addition to its customary activities. The year began with the traditional installation and candle lighting service held at Calvary Christian Church. At Thanksgiving, baskets were prepared for needy families. The Tri-Hi-Y contributed to the Christmas Stocking Program of the Veterans Hospital in Roanoke and again prepared baskets at Christmas time. In the spring, a money making project, selling candy, was undertaken and proved very worthwhile. The club also sold Easter lilies for the Virginia Society for Crippled Children. The selection of new members and officers brought the year to a close. The new officers were installed at the annual Tri-Hi-Y banquet. OFFICERS . . .

During basketball season, members operated the concessions at basketball games. The Valentine season brought the annual Monogram Dance. This year, Karen Williams sponsored by Tommy Garten, was crowned Monogram Queen. Every spring the Monogram picnic is held at Douthat State Park. Head-chef “Boodie” Albert and other coaches are always on hand to make sure that the members of the club and their guests have plenty to eat. In memory of one of our teachers and friend, Mrs. Maggie White, who died during the 1968-69 school year, the Monogram Club presented a plaque and her picture to Covington High School. A donation was also made to another plaque in memory of Mrs. White. The girls of C.H.S. are also afforded opportuni- ties to earn a Monogram. They may obtain their letters by being majorettes, cheerleaders, members of the band and by participating in intramural basket- ball. MONOGRAM CLUB MEMBERS . . . First Row: R. Crawford, R. Mann, A.

The queen is selected by penny votes cast by students and collected by members of the Boys’ Monogram Club, who sponsor the girls. This year the honored queen was Miss Karen Williams, sponsored by Tommy Garten. The runner- up was Miss Lynette Nicely, sponsored by Greg Reynolds. The queen and the runner-up were present- ed with candy-fdled Valentine hearts and a hearty round of applause at the colorful Valentine Dance.

JCL Promotes Language Interest The Latin Club is organized to keep alive an interest in the past of Rome and Greece. Pro- grams are planned to depict Roman and Greek life, culture, and other aspects of the classical civilizations. On October 10, many of the club members traveled to Charlottesville for the annual state meeting. This trip was one of the most outstand- ing activities of the year. Various Roman holidays were celebrated dur- ing the course of the year, and the highlight was the Roman banquet scheduled on April 21, the founding date of Rome. 107 F.N.A. Tours C O Hospital Many insights into the field of nursing are gained through membership in the Future Nurses’ Club. This organization consists of sophomore, junior, and senior girls who plan a career in the medical profession. This year was a busy year indeed for the F.N.A. The girls assisted with the cancer drive and the hearing clinics at school and donated money to the Red Cross for Christmas t reats for veterans. Also, at Christmas, they made candy and distributed it to the patients at Alleghany Memorial Hospital. In addition to these community and service projects, the club arranged for interesting speakers and tours. Mrs. Barbara Rice, a nurse from the C O Hospital, spoke at one of the regular meetings. The F.N.A. girls also visited the Physical Therapy Department of the C 0 Hospital and talked with Mr. Zimmerman, the therapist. Later, they toured the nurses’ quarters. The year’s activities were climaxed with a visit to the Medical College of Virginia. MEMBERS OF F.N.A. . . . First Row: J. Scott, L. Bryant; Second Row: S. Carver, A. Miller; Third Row: N.

The Blanche McClintic Chapter of the Future Teachers of America, sponsored by Mrs. Louise Curfman, had a member- ship of thirty who plan to enter the teaching profession. This year monthly meetings were held at night in the homes of members or after school. The club sponsored many activities which gave a wider understanding of the teaching profession. Outside speakers were invited, and several panel discussions were held. One of the highlights of the year was the State Convention held at Hotel Roanoke. Accompanied by Mrs. Curfman, three dele- gates attended this convention. The finale to each year is the banquet, at which time the officers for the next year are installed. All of these things contributed to making the F.T.A. one of the most active clubs in our school. 109 BUSY, BUSY, BUSY! . . .

The Pep Club is a group of Covington High School students dedicated to keeping school spirit high at CHS. The Pep Club, sponsored by Mrs. Virginia Williams, has close to ninety members. Pam Wingfield, president, and Heather Calehuff, vice-president, take over as faithful club leaders. In addition, Becky Davidson, treasurer, Cindy Wright, reporter, and Becky Bush, homeroom reporter, prove to be “eager beavers” in taking care of the Pep Club news and financial standings. The officers of the Pep Club do their jobs well, but the members perhaps are the real backbone of the club. This year each and every member has proved to be a great asset to the school spirit and, of course, to the Pep Club. This year the Pep Club met once a month to write and publish the school news and gossip in what is appropriately called “The Pep Sheet”. In addition, the Pep Club printed programs for the basketball games and put up pep posters in the gym for pep rallies, basketball games, and wrestling matches. The Pep Club also did its part in making the District Wrestling Tournament, which was held at CHS this year, a success. Members sold tickets, refreshments, programs, and acted as hostesses to the participating teams. The Pep Club has had a most successful year indeed! “MISS PRESIDENT” . . . Pam Wingfield, President of the Pep Club, puts the finishing touches on this Pep Sheet. OFFICERS OF THE PEP CLUB . . .

We Speak Spanish With 89 members, the Spanish Club is one of the largest groups at Covington High. Under the supervision of Mrs. Alicia Plott, the club is extremely active, participa- ting in one activity after another. In an attempt to get the year off to a good start, the club held both formal and informal initiations. At the formal initation old members delighted in serving new mem- bers a royal feast, including raw okra, lemon juice, and buttermilk. The informal initiation made one school day bright indeed, as new members appeared for classes in colorful costumes. An entirely new activity, the organization of a basket- ball team to play other clubs’ teams, was undertaken by El Circulo de Espahol. In addition, many plans were made for a trip to Florida during the summer. The year was climaxed by a picnic for all members and a special party for senior members. AREN’T THEY LUCKY! . . .

Each student is a member of the national organization of VICA (Vocational Industrial Clubs of America). Also, they are active members in the state and local organizations of VICA. Eighteen of the twenty students attended the district meeting of VICA in Roanoke in March. Although the competition was keen, Jake Hinkle won a superior award for his display of occupation. April was the month for the Employer-Employee Ban- quet, held this year at the Eagle’s Nest. The guest speaker delivered an informative message pertaining to student workers and their employers. In May the state convention was held in Richmond. Richard Bowyer, president of the local VICA, Mike Entsminger, vice-president, and Jake Hinkle, reporter, attended the state meeting. Mr. Anderson, coordinator for ICT, accompanied these officers. This was a very rewarding year for the ICT students. They participated in various contests and traveled to several meetings. The highlight of the year, however, was the Employer-Employee Banquet. I.C.T. OFFICERS ... Clockwise: R. Bowyer, President; J. Hinkle, Reporter; L. Huffman, Secretary; R. Hoke, acting Vice-president.

After graduation these students are encouraged by Mr. Rose, D.E. coordinator, and their store managers to pursue a career in the field of distribution. This year DECA members attended the District IX Fall Rally at Lexington. There were eight members who partici- pated in various contests in the District IX Contest meeting at Lexington.

Highlights Business Opportunities With Miss Jones as sponsor and leader, the Future Business Leaders of America entered the 1968-69 school year with keen perspective and vigor. Mr. Anderson, coordinator of the local l.C.T. program, installed the new officers for the year. During the year, club members improved their spelling ability through a series of spelling tests. They also studied banking services, various phases of office work, and job applications for business positions. School and community projects included selling name cards to graduating seniors and, in the spring, visiting a local nursing home. A very active year for the F.B.L.A. was brought to a close with a spring banquet. The guest speaker for this occasion was Mrs. Virginia Williams, commercial teacher at Covington High.

Betas Boast Honorary Attire at Commencement Twenty-five juniors and seniors who met the character, leadership, and scholastic requirements were members of the Covington High School Beta Club. This year the club sent to the National Beta Club Journal an article about its chapter. The Beta Club was also in charge of the high school honor roll, which is published in the Covington Virginian. Members donated four Christmas baskets to the Salvation Army and contributed to the Cancer Fund in memory of Mrs. Margaret White. At the last meetings of the year the students adopted a new constitution for their chapter. At commencement this year, Betas wore gold tassels on their caps and gold cords with their gowns, a distinction that they have earned. The officers for the coming year will be: President, Robin Whiteside; Vice-president, Anita Noel; Secretary, Linda Mauck; and Treasurer, Lawana Blaker. The club’s sponsor is Mrs. Nancy Stuart.

Mrs. Fleshman expertly applies make-up to Gail Carpenter before the curtains rise for the Minstrel. This is but one of Mrs. Fleshman’s many duties. Singing Out For C.H.S. As usual, the Vocal class had another great year. Under the direction of Mrs. Nell Fleshman, the class sang at chapel assemblies and special assemblies at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. The Christmas program was c ommendable indeed. The class continued the tradition of marching into the auditorium to the strains of “0, Come All Ye Faithful” and after the program, left the assembly singing “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.” The presentation consisted of classic and contemporary music with a few popular songs to round out the program. The A cappella Choir, a choice group picked from the larger class, performed for several special occasions during the Christmas season and in the spring. In February, eight members of the Vocal class journeyed to E.C. Glass High School in Lynchburg to enter competition for the All-State West Regional Chorus. Two members of the class, Dana Vanness and Elizabeth Fletcher, were chosen to partici- pate in the All-Virginia Chorus, held at Madison College during April. ALL -VIRGINIA CHORUS . . .

Under the direction of Mrs. Nell Fleshman, this hard-working organization has brightened many halftimes, parades, and concerts. Though seldom mentioned, discipline is always present in the CHS band. The ability of each individual to receive and understand assignments is a necessity in performing for the public. Each posi- tion in a halftime show is a portion of a large puzzle and must be arrived at through teamwork. Because of this teamwork and patient leadership, the CHS band has always delighted their many audiences. PATIENCE, PRACTICE . . . Debbie Vanness, Peggy Cole, and Debbie Tyree, representatives of All-State Band, know that practice and patience pay off! 121 Boasting a membership of twenty-five, the Forensics Club, sponsored by Mrs. Berk- ley Littleton and Mrs. Meredith Jennings, encourage students to participate in all forms of public speaking. This year the club realized great progress. For example, debating was anadded feature, with Mrs. Jennings promoting interest in a debate team. Hoping to stimulate participa- tion in creative writing, the club published its first magazine made up of student contri- butions. Also, to the delight of C.H.S. students, the club members presented in assembly a one-act play, “The Little Red School House”. Covington High was also host to the Blue Ridge District Meet. Here the contestants were competing in public speaking, prose and poetry reading, spelling and debating. “I’M SO DIZZY” . . . Happy students dance until they are dizzy at the annual Forensics dance.

For this occasion all new members were required to wear costumes of native France to school as a part of their initiation. This year the French Club boasted many excellent programs under the direction of Bonnie Taylor, vice-president of the club. These included dialogues spoken in French and skits which never failed to amuse the members. To bring the year’s activities to a close, the French Club joined the other language clubs in a picnic at Douthat State Park. OFFICERS OF THE FRENCH CLUB . . . Mrs. Briggs , Sponsor; B.

The F.H.A. is composed of a group of girls who work together to help the community and better themselves. Their main objective for the year was “Focus on Education.” Again this year the F.H.A. girls were active in community and service projects. These included: assistance in the Alle- ghany Association for Mentally Retarded, work for passage of the state bond issue, baskets for a needy family, assistance with the District Wrestling Tournament, and observation of National F.H.A. Week. Three major social activities rounded out the F.H.A. calendar. First was a coke party for new members, new officers, and parents. Then, there was a reception in honor of Covington’s new principal, Mr. Whitney Trumbo. The year’s activities were climaxed with the Mother-Daughter Banquet, at which time Sue Broughman reigned as Miss F.H.A. Debra Bland and Sue Broughman were candidates for the State Homemaker Degree, which is the highest recognition for a homemaking student. HEAD TABLE AT MOTHER-DAUGHTER BANQUET...

Teachers Name Underclass Superlatives To be a superlative is an achievement of which to be proud. Countless hours of diligent concentration are needed in order to achieve the required average of 93. Also, in naming students as superlatives, the faculty take into consideration such qualities as re- sponsibly, good attitude, and integrity. Not only do these students excel in the classroom, but they also participate in many extracurricular activities as well. Our superlatives students are a credit to our school and command the respect of both students anr faculty. FINE ARTS . . . Heather Calehuff, Art; Libby Fletcher, Vocal. 178 SCIENCE . . .

The year of ’68-’69 approaches its finale, and as the Staff looks back, we review the unique memories with mixed emotions. Reflecting on our accomplishments and knowledge, we are sure that the year has brought varying degrees of maturity, mastery of many concepts, and motivation to pursue other ideas. Each day has brought us a better understanding of ourselves and others. But, school days, are filled with other less serious activities. Remember our successful football season, the joyous assembly when the Brown Jug was returned to C.H.S. , the Homecoming Game, the Lord Botetourt game, which was the deciding victory that made C.H.S. Blue Ridge District Champs? Of course, there have been formal dances, too, where girls appeared in unfamiliar hair-dos and boys wrestled with ties and “on-your-toes” behavior for an evening. These, plus parties, picnics, pep rallies, plays and more, have been memorable events of this year. And so, with the strains of the Alma Mater resounding, the Seniors march out of the auditorium for the last time. There are some unexpected tears to climax the occasion and pangs of pride at having received, after five long years, the all-important diploma. Thus the term ends— it is our hope that we have managed to grasp the highlights of the school year, both old and new, and give them a permanent place on the printed page. 182 Of Honors, Study, Soup Line THE ONE-EYED GIRL? . . .
