In 1972, Mr. Clemmer received a scholarship for a graduate level seminar at Freedom ' s Foundation in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. 2 1974 Dedicatee — Mr. John Clemmer Gaining the respect of students is not an achieve- ment that comes with the job of teaching — it is some- thing that must be earned. The staff of PUFFS AND PATCFtES recognizes Mr. John Clemmer as a teacher who has earned this respect by naming him the 1974 dedicatee. John Clemmer is a native of Gastonia, North Caro- lina. FHe graduated from Atlantic Christian College with a B.A. degree in history. During the summer of 1972, he was awarded a j. Edgar Hoover scholarship to attend a graduate level seminar at Freedom ' s Foundation in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. Mr. Clemmer first taught elementary school in Clifton Forge. He has taught history at CHS for the past seven years. He is married to the former Teresa Ann Jacobs; the couple has two children. His inter- ests include genealogy, traveling, and reading. For his dedication, sincerity, and honesty, the staff is proud to honor Mr. John Clemmer as both our teacher and our friend. MAKING IT PERFECTLY CLEAR . . .

Although we represent many different backgrounds and ideas, we have met to pursue one common goal — education. During our stay here, we have learned facts and principles from textbooks, example from teachers, and respect for one another; but most of all, we have learned to live. We have accepted the responsibility of working to improve ourselves and of coping with the inevitable. As with all situations, things have not always pro- gressed smoothly. We have had differences of opin- ion, and, when there was a dispute, most stood by their convictions. Too, we have often voiced com- plaints about many things: detention hall, the habit- ual offender who never got caught, the bathroom patrol, not enough time between classes, homework. However, during the time of any dissension, there was always the CHS spirit that shone through — maybe in the form of a glance, tear, or hug. Young and old, teacher and student shared a spirit that fostered harmony. Observing our lives in retrospect, we admit we have experienced many good times at CHS. Who could forget the dances, games, trips and all the fun times with our friends? In truth, we have learned, laughed, and lived during this memorable part of our lives. iIk ' : ' .

The administration brought about many changes at CHS this year. For the first time, the students were not faced with the grind of mid-term and final exams, abolished by the School Board in the fall. The energy crisis plagued the administrative heads throughout much of the year. In December, a mem- orandum outlining methods of energy conservation was issued. It urged carpooling whenever possible and reminded teachers to turn off classroom lights when they weren ' t needed. When Daylight Savings Time in January made the mornings darker, Superin- tendent James Laughlin advanced the school sched- ule a half hour so students wouldn ' t be going to school in the dark. As always, Supervisor John Heretick was a frequent classroom visitor, suggesting to teachers ways of im- proving their techniques. A new face at CHS was Wilbert Lee, the assistant principal. Equipped with a remodeled office, Mr. Lee assumed his duties, including the organization of the SODA program and the maintenance of discipline. With his assistance, Principal Whitney Trumbo re- newed emphasis on disciplinary action. As in past years, Mr. Trumbo was always willing to listen to the problems of both teachers and students and did his best to offer solutions. 16 Guidance Sponsors Career Night POND€RING ... Ed Yancey and Libby Donnally think about post- high school plans in the browsing room. hello? . . . Mr. Fuhrman finds that much of his conferring as a guidance counselor goes on over the phone. The Guidance Department helps to meet the ed- cational needs of each student for the present and also for the future. Mr. Hill, head of guidance, Mrs. Cvizic, and Mr. Fuhrman are busy throughout the year with college aptitude testing, conferences with students and parents, and schedule adjustments. Guidance also maintains a browsing room contain- ing information from colleges and trade schools where students can drop in anytime and publishes a newsletter which informs the student body of its activities. In the fall, in co-operation with the Covington Ro- tary Club, guidance sponsored Occupational Career Night. At tables set up in the cafeteria, students could move about and learn about opportunities in a wide range of careers and occupations from people involved in them. The job of counseling the students at CHS may seem overwhelming at times, but with patience and dedication, the counselors strive to adjust each in- dividual student to his or her interests. WELL, I WANT TO . . . Steve Myers discusses his future plans with Mike Collins at the Occupational Career Night, as Mr. Hill looks on. 17 student Council Works To Be A SCA MEMBERS . . . C.

Seated: Mona Carter, President; Standing: Brad Fitzgerald, Treasurer; Karen Jamison, Secretary; Paula Stull, Vice- president. The Student Council is the nucleus of many stu- dent activities at CHS. Through their elected rep- resentatives, the students are able to run an effective organization for the mutual benefit of both the fac- ulty and the student body. With the active partici- pation and interest of the students, the Student Council creates the spirit of co-operation within the school. The SCA sponsored several interesting activities this year. Along with the usual projects such as the Thanksgiving and Easter assemblies and the Christ- mas Formal, an additional feature was Student Gov- ernment Day. For one day, various administrative offices were taken over by the SCA officers, and classes were taught by students designated by their teachers. Another important activity was the observance of Afro-American History Week. The week was climax- ed with an assembly which included the realization of a goal, the dedication of a trophy case containing trophies and mementoes from Watson High School. Later in t he year, the SCA members undertook a school clean-up day which enlisted the services of ail students. They also sponsored the Muscular Dys- trophy drive. A busy and constructive term came to an end with the election and installation of officers for next year. JOHN HENRY . . . Mr. Hill sings the Negro folk song at the Afro- American assembly.

DEBATE TEAM . . . Eric Grumblatt, Anita Gill, Anne Hillmer, Wayne Humphries. CAST OF IMPROMPTU . . . Anne Hillmer, Marty Montgomery, Kurt Jensen, and Anita Gill received a superior rating in district and re- gional competition of one-act plays. 20 The required five units of English emphasize a sound understanding of grammar and literature. Freshman, sophomore, and senior English classes study the plays of Shakespeare, and famous novels are reviewed in all classes. Senior classes added The Great Gatsby to their reading studies this year. Inno- vation and imaginative thinking are encouraged by writing courses. Sophomores and juniors are faced with a term paper, and students wishing to delve further into writing skills may take Advanced Com- position. Activities headed by English teachers won various honors this year. The debate team, sponsored by Ms. Linda Burks, placed second in the District Debate Tournament held at Lord Botetourt High School. The forensics team, sponsored by Mrs. Betty Little- ton, gathered one first-place award and two second- place awards at the District Forensic Meet. At the Region III Forensics Meet at Brookville, Kurt Jensen placed third in Boys ' Poetry, and Carolyn Switzer placed third in Girls ' Prose. The cast of Tad Mosel ' s Impromptu , directed by Mrs. Ruth Cvizic, re- ceived the only Superior rating in district and re- gional competition and went on to participate in the State Drama Festival in Charlottesville.

Mary Drudy and Tony Nicely learn the deaf alphabet in Mrs. Stuart ' s class. 21 t Learning another culture ' s language is the begin- ning of understanding a way of life different from our own. This is the goal of the language depart- ment, as Mrs. Harris and Mrs. Plott attempt to build an appreciation of foreign languages at CHS. Their classes demand full participation from everybody and give students a solid background in the funda- mentals of the course they are taking. Spanish I, II, 111, and IV, taught by Mrs. Plott, stress the customs and way of life of the people studied, as well as a sound understanding of vocabulary and grammar. In French I and II, taught by Mrs. Harris, a historical background of the country is also empha- sized, along with the usual drills in conjugation and pronunciation. A listing center, which permitted several students to listen to the same record, proved to be a use- ful aid in the learning of phrases in both classes. During Mrs. Harris ' absence in mid-year, her classes were capably taken over by Mrs. Nichols. To show their appreciation, students treated Mrs. Harris to a going-away party and also to a welcome-back party. BONING UP . . . Mrs. Plott reads widely to keep up with her Span- ish classes. LISTEN IN ... A. Hillmer, T. St. Clair, W. Kayser, D. Cobbs, A. Gill, M. Tatum, and M. Warren learn French phrases with the help of the new listening center.

Jordan take part in Clemmer shows his U.S. history class yet another en- . a courtroom re-enactment in Mr. Chappell ' s civics class, lightening film. Social Studies Challenge Minds Social studies are probably the most popular sub- jects at CHS. Geography, civics, economics, govern- ment, and U.S. and world history all prove to be stimulating courses. New audio-visual equipment, such as movie cameras and cassette recorders, have been a tre- mendous aid to the Social Studies department. These provided exciting opportunities for projects outside the regular classwork. Newcomer Mr. Chappell, together with Mr. Albert, who resumed his teaching duties this year, helped make civics an interesting course for eighth graders. In world history, Mrs. Uzzell gave her stu- dents a perspective on the present as they studied the events of the past. Mr. Clemmer and his U.S. history students explored the problems that shaped the past and those of the present, as they kept up with the unfolding drama of Watergate. Mrs. Mustoe ' s government classes focused their interest on the gubernatorial election, the structure of Con- gress, and a study of communism. The economics class, taught by Mr. Hammond, took field trips to area industries and a brokerage house in Roanoke and invited local businessmen for discussions on various topics. VERY INTERESTING . , . Mrs. Uzzell finds this slide amusing. 23 Young Scientists Solve Enigmas The teachers of the science department strive to make the students at CHS realize that science is a moving force in their lives. Students taking physical science and chemistry struggle with experiments that are often frustrating, while biology classes try their hand at dissecting various organisms and studying the many chains of life, learning how each relies on the other. Hopefully, with an understanding of the life surrounding them, they will be better able to cope with it. As ecology became a much-discussed subject, Mr. Ogden ' s chemistry classes conducted an investiga- tion of water pollution in the Covington area. Sam- ples of water were taken from several locations around the city and tested for their dissolved oxygen content. Several brands of detergents were also tested for their phosphate content. The science department had two new additions this year: Mr. Woodzell, teaching biology, and Mr. Campbell, teaching general science and physics. Mr. Campbell found his physics class to be an inter- esting one, since he had only three people in it. Throughout the year, the students discovered the rewards of an intimate education.

Mrs. Curfman implores her algebra students to un- derstand what she is saying. The Math Department continues to baffle and amaze many students. Problems must be solved and theorems must be learned before the mysteries of the mathematical world can unfold. Students aim- ing for College Prep diplomas are required to take algebra and geometry, and for those who feel very sure of themselves, senior math is offered as an elective. Mrs. Ives introduces eighth graders to new con- cepts in Introductory Math. Algebra I, taught by Mrs. Noel, is the next difficult step in the curriculum, preparing freshmen for Algebra II, which they learn from Mrs. Curfman in their junior year. The chore of solving proofs haunts sophomores, as they face the many challenges offered in Miss Williams ' plane geometry classes. Students taking Consumer Math, taught by Mrs. Friel, solve mathematical problems faced in everyday life. Classroom instruction in all courses is supple- mented with the use of overhead projectors, film- strips, and charts to explain complicated principles and formulas. With capable instruction, the science of mathematics becomes more easily understand- able. FRIENDLY FACES . . . Mrs. Friel, Miss Williams, and Mrs. Noel help students solve the daily challenge of mathematics. 25 Creative Talents Are Developed MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THIS ONE . . . Mr. Keyser directs the construction of papier mache masks. DEEP IN THOUGHT Mr. Argo concentrates on his directing. The Fine Arts department is an active and impor- tant part of life at CHS. Mr. Argo, Mr. Keyser, and Mr. Lawrence work to develop amateur talent in the musical and artistic fields. The formation of the Flag Corps and a six-day trip to Disney World kept the band members busy all year. A highly successful Tag Day helped finance the Florida trip. The sale of citrus fruit and the paper drive have become regular money-making proj- ects. Vocalists also made their presence known. Four students were chosen for the All-regional choir at Northside High School. From these, Paul Hutton and Carolyn Switzer were selected for the Virginia State Choir. In March, the CHS chorus travelled to Tunstall to be judged at the District VI Choral Festival. The art students kept the halls decorated with posters advertising upcoming dances and other events. They also designed and made a Mexican pinata for the Mardi Gras held in the spring. I CAVE . . . Band members gave tags like these to contributors to the Florida trip. 26 Important Skills Are Learned ALMOST DONE . . . Mr. Douglas applies the final coat of lacquer to one of his projects.

Speed and ac- curacy are stressed in Mr. Salyers ' typing and Mrs. Sams ' shorthand classes. Other mental and manual skills taught include bookkeeping and the use of var- ious business machines. Distributive education, taught by Mr. Rose, gives young men and women a chance to earn while they learn and provides good job references and solid working experience. The industrial arts clas ses of Mr. Anderson and Mr. Douglas give students opportunities for creative ex- pression in a variety of special projects. Students gain knowledge in many phases of woodworking, ma- chine shop, and electricity. Projects such as building furniture and constructing electronic components help them apply their knowledge and give them ex- perience in creatively using and maintaining the tools of the trade. Mechanical and architectural drawing teaches students to think imaginatively and instills discipline in the fundamentals of drafting. BEAT THE CLOCK . . . Mr. Salyers gives a timed writing to his typing class. 27 Home Ec Promotes Involvement MOST FOR YOUR MONEY . . . Mrs. Hall ' s Home Ec. class is given a lesson in consumerism as explained by Mr. Frame of the A P. Home Economics at CHS helps prepare an indi- vidual for life upon leaving school with practical homemaking skills such as cooking, sewing, and family living. The Home Ec. Department had a new look this year as two student teachers joined Mrs. Hall and Miss Hepler in March. Miss Heatwole and Mrs. Kraus participated in many of the various ac- tivities of the classes and assisted the students with many projects. Christmas brought decorations for the tree in the cottage and a special party for all students. In the spring, a Mother-Daughter banquet was held, fea- turing Delegate Bill Wilson as guest speaker. A some- what unusual event was Father ' s Night, which gave all fathers a chance to see just what their daughters were learning as future homemakers. The students also extended a friendly gesture toward members of the faculty when they made candy apples for all the members of the school staff. The year ended with many girls realizing that Home Ec. class is an important learning process. ALL FIXED . . . Matilda Cashwell tries her hand at flower arranging. SPINNING YARNS . . .

Ed. in- structor perched precariously on the new balance beam. Spills are sometimes taken, but this does not affect the determination of students to build their health and physical fitness. Girls ' P.E. classes, taught by Miss Goad and Miss Slater, featured archery, badminton, and gymnas- tics. Boys ' P.E., taught by Mr. Spradlin, Mr. Fore, Mr. Fuhrman, and Mr. Carper, participated as usual in basketball, football, and softball, tennis was a wel- come addition to the curriculum with the comple- tion of the new city tennis courts. These activities were supplemented with classroom instruction in health and first aid. The Driver Education classes of Mr. Carper and Mr. Fore were aided by The Convincer .

The Cougars posted an overall record of 5-4 and a surprising 3-2 finish in the Blue Ridge District. Pre- season picks had the Cougars in the cellar, but they came on to lose only two district games. Playing one of the toughest AA schedules in the entire state, Covington opened with a hard fought win of 17-14 over Lord Botetourt. Robert E. Lee built up a 23-0 halftime lead to win the game by a 23-8 margin. Then came the heartbreaking 15-14 loss to Glenvar. However, the Cougars bounced back with a 21-0 win over Greenbrier East to make Home- coming perfect. In fact, Covington made it two in a row with a comeback victory of 12-11 over Drewry Mason. Then Lady Luck frowned; Covington blew a 10-0 lead against Andrew Lewis to lose 28-10 in a bruising game. The Cougars had the upper hand of a 7-6 halftime score against arch-rival Alleghany County and went on to win 23-14. The memory of the Byrd loss was completely erased the following week when, with an outstanding defense and an overpowering offense, the mighty Cougars brought home the Jug, defeating the Clifton Forge Mounties in a solid 23-0 shutout. It was a fine way to end the season, along with the naming of Garry Parker, Mike Warren, Ray Crawford, and jack Munsey to the Blue Ridge All-District Team. The Cougars combined both desire and skill in the 1973 season, which proved to be very rewarding, especially since they were the honored recipients of the District Sportsmanship Trophy. Since only eight seniors will be leaving the team, 1974 should bring greater fame to Cougar Country. OLD PRO . . . Superfan Chili Bean displays some CHARGE! . . .

The Cougar Junior Varsity and Eighth Grade foot- ball teams posted a combined record of 13 victories and only 2 losses. The jV ' s came through with some fine efforts in finishing with a 6-2 final tally. The Eighth Grade will definitely be a team to remember in the future, as they finished their season wit h an undefeated 7-0 mark. The junior Varsity offense, which averaged close to 20 points a game, was led by Randy Mills, Curtis Jordan, and Dean Martin. The defense, spearheaded by Sidney Hutchens, Bill Leary, and Danny Walton, allowed an average of only 9 points per game. The Eighth Grade team had an overwhelming lead in the statistics department against their opposition by outscoring them 182-6. The little Cougars gained a great deal of respect from every squad they played. Some of the leaders of this highly explosive team were lineman Neil Huffman, quarterback Darnell Ross, and running backs Ronnie Shue and Richard Brown. Next year, co-coaches Bo Carper and Jim Fore will gladly welcome those players returning from this year ' s team, along with those standouts coming up from the Eighth Grade team. Meanwhile, coaches John Woodzell and Paul Linkenhoker will again try to mold the newcomers to Covington High School into another team that will sparkle with perfection. JV FOOTBALL TEAM . . .

Homecoming 1973, centered around the theme September Love , was celebrated September 27. Various activities took place at the Greenbrier East game, where the Cougars downed their western neighbors 21 to 6. However, preparations for the occasion began long before time for the game. Senior homerooms nominated ten senior girls that they felt deserved the honor of Homecoming Queen. The week of Homecoming, a special assembly was held so that the student body could see the ten nominees. These girls appeared in formal wear, and then each student had the privilege of voting for the one girl he wanted to be queen. When the night of the game finally arrived, the band put on a special halftime show, forming a huge heart for the ten girls and their escorts to walk through. The highlight of the evening was the announcement of the Homecoming Queen 1973, Miss Dora Robinson. The students, alumni, and fans of Covington High were most pleased with the students ' choice. 41 Brown Jug Is Returned to IT ' S HOME! . . .

Since Covington lost the jug last year, the Cougars worked especially hard to be ready for the Mounties. During tne week before the game, the cheerleaders initiated various spirit motivators. A pep rally was held the night before the game, and Friday was Mountie Day , an occasion for wear- ing olue jeans and flannel shirts to school. This special day everyone was excited, and the cheer- leaders intensified the feeling with a unique skit. Even the faculty got into the swing of things, singing songs and prooucing some old-fashioned cheers for Covington High. Consequently, when game time arrived, the Cougars were ready for revenge: the CHS team wiped out the Mounties with a score of 23 to 0. On Monday following the game, the co- captains, the principal, and the coach of Clifton Forge returneo the jug to CHS. The Sadie Hawkins Dance officially closed football season at Covington High. Sponsored by the Varsity Cheerleaders, Sadie Hawkins is a special type of dance to which the girls invite the boys. The main attraction of the evening is the crowning of Lil ' Abner and Daisy Mae. Each Varsity Cheerleader sponsors a senior football player to run for Lil ' Abner, the title given to the boy whose sponsor collects from the students the most money in penny votes. This year Garry Parker was chosen as Lil ' Abner, and the honor of Daisy Mae was shared by Carolyn Switzer and Teresa Ervin. the Cougars SEEING DOUBLE . . . Garry Parker, Lil ' Abner, was really lucky: he boasted two Daisy Maes, Carolyn Switzer and Teresa Ervin. 43 Varsity Girls Have 9-3 Record VARSITY GIRLS ' BASKETBALL TEAM . . .

The 1973 Girls ' basketball season for the Cougar- ettes was filled with both victory and excitement. The Varsity and JV squads posted a winning season with the won-lost records of 9-3 and 4-2, respec- tively. The high scoring varsity girls expressed their ability to succeed by placing second in the Blue Ridge District. The girls defeated Alleghany in the semi-finals by a score of 51-50. Although defeated by arch-rival Clifton Forge by a score of 57-42, the Cougarettes had great spirit and were aggressive throughout the entire season. Sparked by the bril- liant scoring style of Darlene Stewart, the girls were able to outscore their opponents by substantial margins. Coach Connie Goad had great hopes for a winning year and was always pleased with her girls . The JV Cougarettes, coached by Saundra Slater, had a slow start but were able to compile a 4-2 sea- son record. The jV ' s played vyith a lot of power, and with more experience they should surprise a few teams next year. Clifton Forge handed the girls their two defeats of the year by a narrow margin of 30-27 and 27-16. Miss Slater is confident that her squad will contribute a great deal to the varsity squad in years to come. Overall, the Cougarettes played well and exempli- fied the fine spirit of Covington High. The outlook is indeed promising for girls ' basketball at CHS.

This year the holiday season at CHS was already in progress by the time Thanksgiving arrived. To set the mood and establish the proper attitude, a new approach was taken to celebrating Thanksgiving. In- stead of the traditional chapel assembly, Mr. Clem- mer ' s third period U.S. History class presented a play, What is Thanksgiving? , depicting the origin and meaning of Thanksgiving. The play tried to show that most people are apathetic toward Thanksgiving and aren ' t really thankful. The mixed choir furnished special music to add to the assembly. As Christmas approached, the students became more restless and anxious for the two weeks ' vaca- tion to begin. The many preparations for Christ- mas at CHS were the only things that kept their minds off the holidays. The Student Council was busy planning for the Christmas Formal. They also sponsored a mail service so that Christmas cards could be exchanged among the students and a con- test for the various classes to decorate their desig- nated hall. The Ms. Jayteens set up a Christmas tree in the cafeteria where the students might donate money to hang an ornament so that needy children could have a Christmas, too. Students also helped needy families by contributing food, clothing, and toys to homeroom baskets. However, many plans for Christmas came to a halt when the weekend before vacation started, a snowstorm hit Covington. Except for the Christmas Formal and baskets, most other activities, along with school, were called off. Thus, the snowstorm gave students a longer holiday! 46 to Begin their Vacation Early A DREAM COME TRUE . , . Snow covers Covington and makes it possible for Christmas vacation to begin early. SANTA ' S HELPERS . . . No, not really, but they are concerned students who wanted to help the Christmas Mother, Mrs. Burch, with the Christmas baskets. 47 CHS Jayteens choose Miss 1974 SNOW QUEEN . . . Miss Peggy Kenny was crowned Snow Queen at this year ' s Christmas Formal. The highlight of Christmas at CHS is the traditional Christmas Formal. Sponsored by the Student Coun- cil, the formal is usually held in the CHS gymnasium. All preparations and decorations are made by the Student Council and the art classes. However, after much debate, it was decided that this year ' s dance would not be held in the gym. After looking for a place large enough and suitable for a formal dance, the Student Council chose the Banquet Room at the new Holiday Inn for this special occasion. The theme for this year ' s formal was Christmas Memories. Since the Holiday inn provided all decorations and refreshments, all the Student Coun- cil needed to do was to sell tickets, arrange seating reservations, and plan the entertainment. Susan Persinger was present to refresh the students ' mem- ories about past Christmas Formals held at CHS. Selected eighth grade students served refreshments. Company, Inc. furnished music for dancing. A special attraction of the entertainment was the crowning of the Snow Queen, an event spon- sored by the CHS Jayteens. This year the jayteens chose Miss Peggy Kenny to be the 1974 Snow Queen. Miss Wanda Hubble was first runner-up; Miss Anne Hillmer was second runner-up. Everyone who attended the formal seemed to enjoy the change in the surroundings. SMILING FACES . . . Candidates for 1974 Snow Queen were Kathy Haynes, Jeannine McKnight, Cheri Kelley, Peggy Cronin, Doris Persinger, Anne Hillmer, Amy Huddleston, Jeana Walton, Wanda Hubble, Lisa Hardy, Dora Robinson, Joan Craghead, and Michelle Burks. 48 Peggy Kenny 1974 Snow Queen CHRISTMAS MEMORIES. . .

Although the season seemed gloomy, they did host the Blue Ridge Wres- tling Tournament, which was a success. Despite the obstacles faced during the season, the Cougars wres- tled well in the tournament and show signs of a promising future. Leading the Cougars was sophomore Jon Neal, who finished as district champion with a 11-0 record, second in the region, and fourth in the state. Also, Mike Green placed second in the district, and Gary Hendrick finished third. Coach Spradlin was very pleased with the team ' s effort and is looking forward to next season with upcoming help from the junior [ Varsity. Coach Wayne Ogden, jV mentor, was very pleased with his team which showed a lot of promise. The leaders Neil Huffman and Chuck Groome both had t outstanding seasons and will contribute greatly to ; the versatility of next year ' s squad.

Although the Cougar ' s 6-15 record doesn ' t show it, there were some thrilling moments in the ' 74 basketball season. The Cougars bagged three wins against Bath County and an exciting 75-73 victory over New Castle. Lord Botetourt suffered its first Blue Ridge District loss at the hands of the CHS team, and Alleghany fell 80-54. However, the highlight of the season was the honor of winning the Blue Ridge District Sportsmanship Award for the third straight year. Jack Munsey and Keith Twitty were major contrib- utors to the Cougar ' s offensive punch, averaging 16 and 12 points, respectively. Tim Morgan, the team ' s leading rebounder, grabbed an average of 20 re- bounds a game and set a school record of 29 re- bounds in one game. In post-season awards, Morgan and Munsey were chosen for the All-area first team; Twitty was voted for the second team. In the Blue Ridge District Tournament, the Cou- gars met Lord Botetourt. The Cavaliers handed the Cougars a heart-breaking 60-59 defeat. Dwain Tyree, who scored 19 points in the game, was named to the All-tournament team. Four seniors will depart this year as Joel Nichol s, Tim Morgan, Dwain Tyree, and Garry Parker grad- uate.

After just missing the title last year, Coach Rick Fuhrman led the jV ' s to the title, closing out the season with a 15-4 record. John Holloway was the leading scorer, while Dean Martin handled the rebounding chores. Among the more trying mo- ments was a 44-26 loss to Glenvar. The Blue Ridge Championship Tournament, held at William Byrd, saw the Cougars bring home a victory over the Terriers by a score of 55-46.

The Cougars did not lack in the hitting depart- ment. Steve Robinson led with a .346 batting average, followed by Most Valuable Player Ed Bane with .345. Jeff Clemmons showed promise as a pitcher since he hurled a perfect game against Clifton Forge in the first game of the Blue Ridge District Playoffs with a Cougar victory of 2-0. Coach Phil Douglas announced his resignation as baseball coach as the season ended. His contribu- tions to the team morale and effort will surely be missed. To show the team ' s appreciation. Captain Steve Clark and five-year letterman Perry Balser presented Coach Douglas with a plaque at the Awards Assembly. With only five seniors departing, next year may hold great promise for a long-awaited championship season.

Mike Wickline wins the mile in the district. The Covington High track team accomplished something never before done at CHS. Winning the Blue Ridge District title was the first such honor in track for Coaches Fuhrman and Phillips, and the second district championship for Coach Fuhrman this season. The Cougar thinclads participated in more meets than in previous years and posted an 8-4 record. A host of team members took charge at the beginning of the season, all contributing significantly to the scoring. Classified as the underdogs in the district, the Cougars upset all predictions, scoring 57 points. During district competition, Mike Wickline set new school records in the mile and 880 and topped records he had previously held. Marty Montgomery emerged unbeaten in the discus. Overall, CHS boasted five first-place wins and one second-place. In the regionals, Mike Wickline set the school record in the mile, Todd Huffman set the pole vault record at and the mile-relay team stole 4 seconds off the old record.

Their own special presentation began with the reading of “Can You Imagine. Following were numerous skits based on the new and only “Ten Commendments. Each “commendment was a dramatization by a group of seniors doing a “take off on the administration, faculty, and students. The Class Will, read by Matilda Cashwell, Lori Haywood, and Mona Carter, assured that each underclassman would receive something of cherished value from the seniors. Class President John Worley, representing the class of 1974, honored Mrs. Mustoe, class sponsor, with a gift. The last and most important part of the pro- gram was the capping ceremony in which the juniors capped their senior friends; then the juniors filled the honored seats in the center section of Curfman Hall.

Moore, The night of June 6 brought mixed emotions to the 103 graduating seniors. It closed the door on the fun and security of the past, yet it opened the door to a promising, but uncertain, future. Each one had made his contribution to Covington High, whether by studying extra minutes to make a class discussion more interest- ing, yelling a little louder for the Cougar teams, or by giving encour- agement and a friendly smile to a confused eighth grader. These graduates knew that in some way they had helped to make CHS a great institution. For the first time in several years, a guest speaker was featured at the graduation exercises. Dr. John F. Backels, President of Dabney S. Lancaster Community College, gave the main address. Dr. Backels challenged the graduates to stand for something, to be uncommon, and to look for opportunity, not security. 84 of 74 Graduates 103 S. Johnson, D. Waugh, C. Spencer, j. Walton, S.

The French Club at CHS is composed of students who have taken French and are interested in France. The club began its year by electing officers. In the middle of September, the French Club in- vited all the first-year French students to join the club. Before they could be official members, the new members had to dress up in native French cos- tumes on Language Day, and later that night they were initiated into the club. Realizing they should begin some money-making projects, the club decided to sell Krispy Kreme doughnuts at intervals during the year. The club was very successful in every attempt to sell doughnuts. Two regular activities of the club were continued. The French newspaper was published throughout the year, and at the end of the year, the club held its picnic at Humpback Bridge. 88 Betas Help with Civic Affairs MEMBERS OF BETA CLUB K. Warlitner, C.

The club also remem- bered the needy families of Covington by collecting food, clothing, and money for the Salvation Army. In January, the members collected a total of $272.32 for the March of Dimes. The final project was the purchase of gold cords for the senior members to wear at Commencement. The climax of the year was attending the Virginia Beta Club Convention in Roanoke. PLEASE GIVE . . .

Under the direction of Mr. Lee and Barbara Ryg of Roanoke, SODA is the abbreviated name for the Student Organization for Developing Attitudes, a program which began in Roanoke under the Roa- noke Area Drug Abuse Control Council. This organi- zation was initiated at CHS this year to determine if such an orientation would benefit the Covington area. The program began in Covington with the selection of 15 students early last fall. These students had a three-day workshop where they chose part- ners and were given an area fifth grade class to work with. The schools participating in SODA are Jeter- Watson, Edgemont, and Rivermont Elementary Schools. During monthly classroom visits, the students try to help each of the fifth graders to examine his feel- ings, opinions, and associations with others. The real purpose is to provide a back door approach to drug education. Besides the classroom visits, the SODA representa- tives acted as guides for the fifth graders ' tour of the high school.

No, not really, but the people attending the Mardi Gras were requested to wear costumes. The Spanish Club began its year by having the new members participate in an initiation on Language Day. Subject to much ridicule from the old Spanish Club members, the new members were required to dress up as sehors and sehoritas. Later, they finished their initiation by eating many of the concoctions dreamed up by the Initiating Committee. The Spanish Club also held a Mardi Gras dance in the CHS gym in March. Much planning and deco- ration went into this event for which the Spanish Club members from area schools were invited. Stu- dents who attended the dance were requested to wear costumes. A king and queen were chosen to rule over the festivities. The king chosen was Gerald Carpenter; the queen was Sandra Sarjeant. MARDI GRAS . . . Students dance to the music of Company, Inc.

The biggest event of the year was the Tri-Hi-Y district meeting held at Covington High School. Preparations for this October meeting began as soon as school opened. The general theme for the confer- ence was Are You Apathetic? Elaborating on the subject were two guest speakers, Reverend Wing- field and Mr. John Singleton. Also at the district meeting, the officers of the district Tri-Hi-Y and the representatives for the Model General Assembly were selected for the current year. The Tri-Hi-Y closed a year of varied activities with the election of new officers for the next year. TRI-HI-Y OFFICERS . . .

Before each football game, the Pep Club put a happy ad in the newspaper. The club also spon- sored poster contests for each of the sports. The club held several money-making projects. Most of the profits were directed toward the pur- chase of a new Cougar mascot costume. Hopefully, the club will have the new costume by the fall of 1974. Since the costume was very expensive, the Quarterback Club gave a generous donation. At the end of the year, the club presented the annual pep trophies to the most valuable players in track, baseball, and basketball. The club ended their year with a banquet in late May.

The Varsity Cheerleaders were very active this year, sponsoring both fund-raising and community projects. Fund-raising projects included a rummage sale and doughnut sales of over five hundred dozens. Their most important social function was the Sadie Hawkins Dance held in November. During the summer, the group held a local cheer- leading clinic for younger girls who hope to be fu- ture cheerleaders. Also, in the summer, the Varsity squad spent a week at Thurman ' s Cheerleading Camp, which was held at Concord College. CHS was very proud that their squad brought home a first- place plaque from the competitions held during that week. The jV and Eighth Grade cheerleaders also contri- buted greatly to school spirit. Although they some- times go unrecognized, they put in many hours of hard work and strive to do their best. The main proj- ect of the JV squad this year was sponsoring a bake sale early in the year. 98 Morale Of The School And Team NOSTALGIA . . .

This year the FBLA sponsored many activities which were a benefit to the club and others in the community. The club began their busy year by hold- ing a dance with music by The Stonehenge. Later the members sold pennants, bumper stickers, and candy to raise money. The members also made favors for the people who were in local hospitals and nursing homes. In November, the club celebrated Thanksgiving with a covered dish supper. Then, club members sold trash bags to raise money for a donation to the March of Dimes. In February, the FBLA held a skating party for the members and their guests. A regular feature of the FBLA is compiling the honor roll for the school, which is then sent to the Covington Virginian for publication. Also, the club sends two officers to the State Leadership Camp each June. These various projects have helped the students mature into responsible Future Business Leaders of America. 103 Activities And Projects Accent MEMBERS OF FHA . . . C. Anderson, L. Anderson, L.

FHA — Future Homemakers of America. Yes, that ' s exactly what they are: young girls who participate in and out of school to become more skilled in the art of homemaking. CHS has approximately 90 girls who are active in the club. The state project of the FHA this year was CON- CERNS. During the year they had several guest speakers at their meetings who spoke on the differ- ent phases of CONCERNS. Some of the topics were: Concerns of the Homemakers, Concerns of the School , Concerns of the Community , Concerns of the State , and Individual Concerns . During the year the FHA also prepared baskets of food and fruit for the sick and needy people of Cov- ington. They helped the elderly with cleaning jobs in their homes and ran errands for the aged. During FHA Week, March 31-April 6, the FHA sponsored many projects. On April 1, the FHA held its Mother-Daughter Banquet at the Holiday Inn. At the banquet Joan Humphries was named Miss FHA. Also during this week, the group held an Open House, to which faculty and parents were invited and served refreshments. 105 CHS Choirs Captivate Audiences MEMBERS OF CHOIR . . . C. Switzer, E.

The members of the Eighth Grade choir are taught the fundamentals. There were three classes which made up the choirs at CHS. Throughout the year the choirs gave con- certs which displayed their talents. At the Thanks- giving and Christmas assemblies, they sang seasonal songs in keeping with the holiday spirit. Then, in February, the vocal classes made trips to the sur- rounding elementary schools to give concerts. The choirs also attended the Choral Festival in March. The final event of the year was the Spring Concert held in late May. Four students from CHS were chosen to partici- pate in the All-Regional Chorus, held at Northside High School. These were Carolyn Switzer, Teresa Ervin, Marty Montgomery, and Jeff Hutton, who was chosen to represent CHS in the All-Virginia Chorus. 107 ' ’V . i 1974 CHS Majorette Squad Brenda Thurston — Head Majorette Karen Jamison Joan Craghead Sandra Caldwell 109 The Drum Majors and Flag Corps CHS BANNER GIRLS . . .

No, it ' s the Head Drum Major Jeffrey Hutton and his assistant, David Halsey, acting out one of their half-time performances. The entire majorette squad underwent a change this year. First, the number of majorettes decreased. For the past two years there had been two squads of majorettes, but it was decided over the summer to form just one group but increase the number of drum majors. Instead of having just one drum major, the drum major, Jeffrey Hutton, now has an assis- tant, David Halsey, to help him direct and keep the band organized. The most noticeable change, how- ever, was the addition of a Flag Corps. Directed by Evelyn Sarjeant, these twelve girls added charm to the band ' s appearance and performance. The majorettes themselves continued to demon- strate their ability to perform with skill, precision, and smiling faces during all their routines. Leading the majorette squad was Brenda Thurston.

Under the direc- tion of Mr. Steve Lawrence, it performed at football games, parades, and concerts. The band received several trophies this year, including a first-place trophy for marching units in the Covington Christ- mas Parade and a first-place trophy in the Shriners ' Parade, held in Clifton Forge. The biggest single event of the year was the band ' s trip to Florida during March. After many months of hard work, the band raised enough money to finance a week ' s visit to Walt Disney World. There, the CHS band was featured in a parade, joined by all the playful Disney characters, and afterwards per- formed on the steps of Cinderella ' s Castle. This ex- perience was a very pleasant one for the band and certainly one they will never forget. The climax of the year ' s activities was the annual Spring Concert in May. At this concert, a number of selections were played by the band — accompanied by slides and motion pictures of the Florida trip. MICKEY MOUSE AND FRIENDS . . . These Disney World char- acters were made by Mr. Hammond ' s classes to accompany the slide and film presentation given by the band at their spring con- cert. 113 lAYTEEN MEMBERS . . . T.

Neil Huffman and Ronnie Shue were first-place winners and Chuck Groome and Robert Kincaid were second place winners in the Jayteens ' Kid Wrestling contest. 114 Jayteens Have Varied Projects BETTER VIEW . . . The Jayteens ' new press area is an aid for re- porters covering the basketball games. The Jayteens have had much success this year with their school and community projects. First of all, the jayteens added a noticeable improvement to the CHS gymnasium — a track record board which displays all the best records of past track meets. Also, to help the announcers at the basketball games, they constructed a press box which enables the announc- ers to view the sports activity. The jayteen community projects are many and varied. They worked on Light-a-Bulb Campaign with the jaycees and helped with the shopping tour for needy children at Christmas. They sold apple butter to help the mentally retarded children. For the area Covington children, the Jayteens sponsored Kid Wrestling and Dribble and Shoot contests. The Jayteens even found time to paint the C O Rail- road Depot, aiding the Alleghany Historical Society. To raise money, the Jayteens held a rock concert at Casey Field, an event which more than 2000 peo- ple attended. They helped at the Jaycee Carnival and the Labor Day African Dip. The Jayteens donated $100 to help the CHS Band take their trip to Florida and $100 to the Salvation Army at Christmas time. Some members of the Jayteens attended the Jay- cee Convention in Norfolk and the Jayteen Conven- tion in Virginia Beach, both highlights of a rewarding year.

Mike Cash, President; Robin Miller, Vice-president; Emma Crawford, Treasurer; (Not pictured: Sheri Byer, Secretary). The purpose of the Art Club is to promote an appreciation of art. The Art Club achieves this by having various exhibitions throughout the school. The Art Club meets at least twice a month. At this time either a local artist is invited to give a lecture, or a workshop is held to experiment with new ideas and concepts of art. The main project of the year was to raise money to purchase a painting by a local artist and then present it to the school. 117 ART EXHIBIT . . . These are some of the pieces of art which were made at the Art Club workshops. 1974 Yearbook Staff Strives CO-EDITORS: Kurt Jensen, Missy Snead; BUSINESS MANAGER: Donna Gaines; INTRODUCTORY EDI- TORS: Peggy Kenny, Amy Huddleston, Harold Car- penter; FACULTY EDITORS: Evelyn Sarjeant, Kurt Jensen, Faye Waldren, Donna Gaines; FEATURES EDITORS: Amy Huddleston, Peggy Kenny, Yvonne Miller, Kim Warlitner, Evelyn Sarjeant; CLUB EDI- TORS: Yvonne Miller, Missy Snead; ADVERTISING EDITORS: Donna Gaines, Evelyn Sarjeant; STUDENT EDITORS: GRADE 12: Peggy Kenny, Amy Huddle- ston, Danny Folks, Perry Balser, Donna Gaines; GRADE 11: Kim Warlitner, Amy Huddleston, Yvonne Miller, Harold Carpenter; GRADE 10: Evelyn Sar- jeant, Danny Folks; GRADE 9: Dorothy Pritt; GRADE 8: Faye Waldren, Joe Kincaid, Kim Miller, Perry Balser; SUMMARY EDITORS: Missy Snead, Evelyn Sarjeant, Yvonne Miller, Kim Warlitner, Danny Folks, Peggy Kenny; SPORTS EDITOR: Perry Balser; ASSISTANT EDITORS: Harold Carpenter, Danny Folks, Faye Waldren, Joe Kincaid, Kim Miller; INDEX: Faye Waldren, Dorothy Pritt. “WHAT DO YOU THINK ' . . . Co-editors Kurt Jensen and Missy Snead put the finishing touches on the final section. The 1974 PUFFS AND PATCHES, we hope, will worthily represent what life is like at CHS. The pro- duction of a yearbook is really not so simple as it may seem. There are deadlines to be met, pages to be planned with no ingenious ideas for layouts, plus classwork to be made up when picture days demand absences. However, as we reflect on what we have done, there is a feeling of pride and accomplishment at seeing our creation in print. Since we have missed and interrupted many classes, we would like to thank the faculty for toler- ating us. Also, we want to express our appreciation to Mrs. Whiteside, our sponsor, who helped and often pushed us. As editors, we wish to thank the entire staff for helping us to achieve our goals.

Mrs. Humphries assembles the names for the daily absentee list. HERE IT IS . . . Mrs. Williams eagerly assists Lynn Shepherd. QUIET IN THE BACK . . . Mrs. Burks asks for a little quiet as she checks the roll. PEOPLE PLEASERS . . . Library assistants B. Leighton, P. Austin, S. Harter, T. Crawford, K. Waldren, Librarian Mrs. McClanahan, L. Smith, and D. Dress- ier help make the library an interesting place to visit. The office staff works hard to maintain order and efficiency at CHS. Mrs. Humphries and Mrs. Williams are responsible for keeping track of school records, operating the mimeograph machine, making an- nouncements on the intercom, and compiling the daily list of absentees. They are always willing to offer information and answer questions for office visitors. Mrs. Burks performs an invaluable service as super- visor of the study halls. She manages to control six study halls a day while keeping up with her reading and knitting. Expet ience and patience are important qualities to possess in these jobs, as some days can become quite hectic. Mrs. McClanahan, librarian, and assistant librarian Mrs. Mills try to make the library a pleasant place for doing research work or just for getting a book to en- joy. They are aided by a staff of student assistants who perform such tasks as checking out books and keep- ing the shelves in order. The expanded collection of books and periodicals was enriched this year by a host of new audio-visual equipment. New movie projectors, filmstrip pre- viewers, cassette recorders, and a Kodak XL movie camera helped make the library a more versatile learning center. 122 Staffs Helps CHS Run Smoothly CLEAN-UP CREW . . . Mr. Thompson, Mr. Lee, Mr. Blankenship, and Mr. Martin are responsible for keeping our school neat and clean. A friendly, cheerful custodial staff is appreciated by everybody at CHS. The custodians are prepared for any emergency from replacing light bulbs to repairing broken furniture. They work diligently around the clock, keeping the halls and classrooms swept and straightened. An added responsibility this year, due to the energy crisis, was the conservation of heat and electricity and maintaining the building tempera- ture of 68° during the winter months. As the weather became warmer in the spring, mowing the grass was tacked to the list of chores. Twice a day, the cafeteria staff is responsible for serving nutritious, wel l-balanced meals to hundreds of ravenous students. Students and teachers found a change this year as the cafeteria went on the federal lunch program. This brought a difference in the variety of foods served, and many found it to be a pleasant improve- ment. The addition of ice cream was a welcome treat for the entire student body. The women of the cafeteria staff work hard to keep a varied menu. Keeping CHS healthy and happy is a task they welcome with enthusiasm. GALLOPING GOURMETS . . . Mrs. Gibson, Mrs. Craft, Mrs. Huffman, Mrs. Comer, Mrs. Henning, Mrs. Jackson, and Mrs. Dressier serve nutritious meals to CHS every day. 123 Faculty Tackles Problems With Francis J.

Woodzell TO EACH HIS OWN ... As the gas shortage hit, many teachers switch- ed to smaller cars — but not all of them did. 129 Seniors In the fall of 1969, the class of 74 made one of the biggest steps they would ever make. They moved to the high school and became official “teenagers. What a great, grown-up feeling! By the next year, the group had learned the routine of things, but it was all still very exciting. The sophomore year meant prog- ress, but they were caught in the middle, and there were still adjustments to be made. They were faced with first dates or the first participation in varsity sports. The junior year was full of activities — class rings. College Boards, decisions and decisions. Then the big day was here. Seniors at last! They threw around their seniority for the first semester, but everything grows old after awhile. Class rings were seldom worn; the senior title had worn thin. It was time to take a serious look at life after June 74, after which things would never be the same. This date would mark the end of P. j. parties, preparing for dances or football pep rallies. Class members would never again be so close to so many people at once. The major concerns were now for the future- college with its different life style or jobs providing steady income or marriage with family responsibil- ities. Demanded of all would be change and matur- ity; however, the class of 74 would remain united in fond memories. 36-24-36 . . . Drew ' s phone number?

Altizer Vincent D. Anderson Michael A. Andrews Pamela C. Austin This year the Junior Class seemed to be saying .... “Look at us — we ' ve changed. The Junior Class of CHS had changed — they were no longer young and restless. They had matured and grown, not only in stature, but in thought. Throughout the year of 73- 74, the main thought running through the juniors ' minds was sponsoring the Junior-Senior Prom, which was held in April. The class, under the supervision of Mrs. Brenda Uzzell, held several projects to raise money for the Prom, which included selling mint candy and fruit cakes, sponsoring a combination bake-rummage sale, having a spaghetti dinner, and to top it off, holding an exciting and action-packed Powder Puff football game between the junior and senior girls. Although the profits from the football game did help the financial status of the class, the outcome was also very pleasing to the junior girls, 20 - 0 . This year the juniors broke CHS tradition by get- ting a new style class ring, which was received four months earlier than in previous years. The style was very modern and unique, which was symbolic of the Class of ' 75. Some of the more serious trials of the Junior Class were the STEP-SCAT tests. Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Tests, the National Merit Scholarship Tests, and later in the year. College Boards. Overall, for the juniors, the year was very successful and inspiring and left them with the thought, “There ' s only ONE year left! Krista L, Bird Theresa E, Burhenn Sherry W. Byer Teri A.

SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS ... Pat Harrison, President; Ken- ny Munsey, Vice-president; Cheri Kelley, Secretary; Lisa Hardy, Treasurer. Sophomores Strong leadership qualities were revealed in the sophomore class this year when they elected Pat Harrison to direct their class as president, Kenny Munsey to be vice-president, Cheri Kelley as their secretary, and Lisa Hardy for treasurer. Understand- ing that more would be required of t hem, the sophomores set higher goals for themselves and strived to accomplish them in the best possible way. Looked down upon for their first two years at Covington High, the “middlemen have learned to cope with the various situations that may confront them. Although not in the position of an upperclass- man, they are respected by the rest of the student body for their ideas and opinions. Many of them have worked extremely hard in order to prepare for the upcoming events of their junior and senior years. Many of the sophomores excelled in their extra- curricular activities this past year. Numerous boys earned positions on the respective varsity teams, and the girls were chosen to be varsity cheerleaders and to participate in girls ' basketball. The Class of 1976 has matured greatly since coming to the high school three years ago. They are hard- working, fun-loving, and well-rounded students who make the most of their talents and abilities. As they progress toward the end of their high school career, this group has shown that they have true “Cougar Spirit . Mike V. Abbott Hafford L. Arritt, Jr. John F. Bell Chrystal C. Brown Patsy A.

Each individ- ual found himself more and more an integral part of his class and the school as a whole. A variety of new responsibilities and activities kept the freshman class going “full swing. All ninth graders were contacted early in the year for their fair share of class dues. Not one member could es- cape that second year of physical education. Being able to earn their first letter in a sport was an exciting activity for some; taking part in language initiations was fun for others; attending their first formal was a real thrill for many. Capably filling leadership positions were the class officers elected by their fellow classmates. Serving as president was Sandra Sarjeant, with Susan Albert as vice-president. Jeannine McKnight was chosen as secretary, and Joy Perry was elected the class trea- surer. These officers were directed in their leader- ship roles by Mr. Kyle Keyser, the class sponsor.

Clockwise: Jere Shawver, Vice president; Janie Curtin, President; Robin King, Treasurer; Cathy Mundy, Secretary. Eighth Grade The 1973-74 school year started off well for this year ' s eager and energetic class of eighth graders. Having been advanced from the three area elemen- tary schools, Jeter-Watson, Edgemont, and River- mont, the eighth graders were well prepared for high school life. Early in the year the newcomers voted janie Curtin as president of the class; Jere Shawver, vice president; Cathy Mundy, secretary; and Robin King, treasurer. Serving as head class sponsor was Mr. Rod Kidder. Orientation Day was the first day of school for the young novices. They arrived at CHS ready for the start of an exciting year. After a few weeks of con- fusion, these students adjusted to the unique style and routine of Covington High School. This year ' s eighth graders, along with other stu- dents, welcomed several changes that occurred at the high school, including a new duplicate style re- port card and the elimination of semester exams. Many of them also took advantage of their first chance to participate in high school sports, where they proved their excellence. The 164 members of the eighth grade class have made a name for themselves and are indeed a great asset to CHS. Teresa L. Ayers Debra C. Baker Susan ). Baker Michael A. Bell Billie ). Bess Birdena L.

The teachers of each class select students who not only have a high academic average but also display good attitudes, a willingness to learn, and partici- pation in the class. Sometimes, more than one stu- dent is chosen as a superlative when the teacher feels they are equally qualified. However, it is not unusual for a teacher not to name an academic superlative because the standards are high. Art II. SOCIAL STUDIES ...

It’s hard to believe, but it’s a fact. After supplying so much of the material and the land to build America’s houses and cities and highways, after meeting our constantly growing demands for paper products, our forest is still 761 million acres big. How have we been able to do so much and still have so much? In the first place, trees are a renewable resource. They grow back, again and again. In fact, about the only way to remove a forest permanently is to remove the land itself. By paving it, for ex- ample, or covering it with a lake. We’ve also been able to add to America’s present forest- land by reclaiming land previously lost to other uses, including millions of acres of marginal farm- land. And to supplement natural planting, we’re planting trees ourselves: more than a million and a half acres of forest a year— and more than one tree for every tree we use. We’ve develooed new methods to grow more timber faster on the same land base, too. For example, the forest products industry owns less than 9% of all the American forest. Yet this land provides the raw material for one-third of our wood and paper products. A renewable resource, re- sponsibly managed. New forests. And better ways of growing more timber faster. Almost 500 years and a new nation later, they’re all helping to keep America green. And growing.
