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. Thomas B.S., M.A. Longwood College, University of Virginia, Columbia Univer- sity; Guidance; Student Coun- cil. “MISS THOMAS, I’D LIKE YOUR OPINION ON THIS” . . . Miss Thomas and Mr. Hill often confer on the various problems of the Guidance Department. 21

UP, UP, AND AWAY . . . T. W. R. or Mr. Robertson eyes Brad Persinger’s and Skipper Williams’ tumbling feat with inward satisfac- tion. T. W. Robertson B.S., M.S.

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.
