Home Ec. Creates Future Homemakers Mrs. Mamie B. Hall B.S. Madison College, University of Vir- ginia; Home Economics I, II, III, IV, V; Future Homemakers of America. Homemakers of tomorrow find a rewarding future in Home Economics at CHS. Mrs. Mamie Hall and Miss Harriet Hepler are the efficient Home Economics teachers, who are willing to extend a helpful hand whenever a homemaking student needs help or advice. The first semester of homemaking consists of learning the techniques of cooking, canning foods and arranging flowers, and Christmas projects done by each girl. This year Home Ec. students decided to have a Christmas party and exchange gifts. The second semester includes such things as the Mother-Daughter Banquet, the selection of Miss FHA, the winner of the Betty Crocker Award, and the fashion show given in the school auditorium. Students learn the funda- mentals of sewing later on in the year, and this year they studied a section on marriage and dating. Harriet Hepler B.S., M.S. Radford College, Richmond Profes- sional Institute, University of Ten- nessee; Home Economics; Science I A; Future Homemakers of America. SEW ALONG WITH ME . . .

OUR CUSTODIAL STAFF . . . Mr. Bowyer, Mr. Martin, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Thompson are always around when they are needed. Staff Performs Vital Tasks Ringgg... It ' s 11:42 or maybe it ' s 12:39. Every CHS student attempts to be the first in the lunch line. Hot dogs, po- tato salad, vegetable soup, scalloped po- tatoes, hot rolls, chocolate cupcakes, banana pudding — it ' s such a hard deci- sion for hundreds of ravenous CHS stu- dents. But this delicious food was not prepared at the Dairy Queen. Mrs. White- side, Mrs. Comer, Mrs. Craft, Mrs. Dress- ier, Mrs. Huffman, Mrs. Cash work hard all morning for a varying menu. This window is broken. I ' m so cold. Oh! I dropped my lunch tray. Mr. Martin, where are you? Mr. Brown, Mr. Thomp- son, Mr. Bowyer, Mr. Martin, and Mrs. Ervin are always right there willing and eager to help. Both night and day these kind and friendly people keep CHS in tip-top shape. THE CAFETERIA EMPLOYEES . . . Mrs. Craft, Mrs. Whiteside, Mrs. Huffman, Mrs. Cash, Mrs. Comer, and Mrs. Dressier prepare to face the ravenous mob of hungry students. 18

Science Dept. Continues to Grow IT WORKS THIS WAY , . . Mr. Somers explains the process of plant life to Miss Hepler. Inspired by excellent scientific study, students in the Science Department continue to take important steps in preparing to learn and understand a compli- cated era of our growing world. Although our grow- ing world is subject to change at any time, the stu- dents at CHS learn and master new and better ideas to cope with the change. The extensive science program at Covington High School ranges from eighth grade science to physics. The eighth grade science classes learn the basic prin- ciples of science. Students in the ninth grade study the scientific laws and introduction to biology. Those students wishing to go further into the scientific field undertake chemistry, physics, or advanced biology, which will prepare them for the challenges of college. Science is an expanding department because of our well trained teachers and ambitious students. THE ABSENT MINDED PROFESSOR . . . Mr. Armstrong and his students are about to attempt an experiment. 20
