Mrs. Ernestine Humphries Secretary Keeping the office operating efficiently requires experience and patience. Mrs. Cashwell and Mrs. Humphries fully qualify in these areas. Evidence of these qualifications can be found in their typing and record keeping. In addition to their secretarial work, they operate the intercom and administer first-aid to minor injuries. Nowhere can better secretaries be found. Mrs. Burks is also a woman of experience and patience, but in a different area. Her firm hand controls five study halls each day. Spending the day signing passes and keeping restless teenagers quiet seems to be a tedious job, but Mrs. Burks handles it with a smile. Although these three women are very busy, they find time to help students with their personal problems. If you need to talk to someone, any one of them is willing to listen. Mrs. Cashwell , Mrs. Humphries, and Mrs. Burks are indispensable personnel. Mrs. Ernestine Cashwell Secretary WHAT DID I DO THIS TIME? . . . Although J. Gordon sits beside her desk, Mrs. Burks finds a daily reprimand necessary. CHS Has Best of Secretaries TIME OUT! . . . Even though they are hard workers and contribute much to CHS, Mrs. Humphries, Mrs. Cashwell, and Mrs. Burks find time for a little amusement. 16

The Establishment ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR . . . Mr. Albert reimburses Diane Cooke with money she lost in the pop machine. Whitney E. Trumbo B.A., M.Ed. Bridgewater College, University of Virginia; Principal. Mr. Whitney E. Trumbo, who has been at CHS for three years, has well served the school as principal. Through his cooperation with faculty members and students, our school has added to its curriculum and improved the teacher-pupil relationship. Also, new ideas have been introduced by Mr. Trumbo, which have certainly made our school run more efficiently. Without the help of Francis J. Boodie Albert, CHS would probably be lost. He is always there when a problem needs to be solved or an excuse needs to be signed. Mr. Trumbo and Mr. Albert have definitely earned the respect of students and faculty and, by combining ideas, have made Covington High School one of the best in the state. HAIR STYLES AND SHORT SKIRTS . . . Iris Townes, James Mitchell, Paul Provost, Judy Kincaid, and James Stewart explain their new fads to Mr. Trumbo. Francis J. Boodie Albert B.S. University of Notre Dame, Princeton University, University of Virginia; Assistant Principal, Head Football Coach, Head of Supervision and Administration. 15
