H 4 .6 1 I 1 Jl ■ 1 1 1 1 1 u “YEAH, HE DID, JED!” Granny (Mrs. Cvizic) tells the Clampets and the Drysdales about the missing Little Brown Jug. The Little Brown Jug remained at home for another year since the Cougars defeated the Mountaineers in the annual Idttle Brown Jug Contest. During the week before the game, the cheerleaders motivated the student body with various activities. Thursday before the game was “Lick-the- Mounties Day” as the cheerleaders sold suckers to the student body. Friday was Mountie Day, which called for bib overalls and flannel shirts. Even the faculty did a skit at the pep rally that afternoon. Later Friday night, the Cougar football team highlighted the week with a 21-0 shutout over the Mounties. The Sadie Hawkins Dance finalized the football season at Covington High. Sponsored by the Varsity Cheerleaders, the Sadie Hawkins is a special type of dance where the gals invite the guys. The main attraction of the dance was the crowning of lil’ Abner, Gerald Carpenter; and Daisy Mae, Cheri Kelley. TWINKLETOES! The Varsity Cheerleaders demonstrate their talent as they dance to “The Way We Were.”

uaazsiisi axs. ion of III dfLamji GIRLS’ VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM . . . Coach Beninghove, Humphries, K. Smith, S. Halsey, D. Via, P. Stull, Manager L. Martin. K. Miller, J. Altizer, S. Campbell, D. Stewart, M. Harding, Captain J. First-year coach June Beninghove and the Varsity Cougarettes wrapped up the 1974 girls’ basketball season with a winning record of 14-3. Not only did they have an outstanding season, but they also now reign as Regional Champs. Although they had been defeated by Andrew Lewis three consecutive times, the Cougarettes bounced back to a 51-50 victory over the Wolverines to capture the regional title. Junior Darlene Stewart shot splendidly over all op- ponents, and on defense she was credited with numerous blocked shots and rebounds. The Cougarettes averaged an impressive 58 points per game. Because the girls won most of their games by wide margins, all the players saw considerable action. Injuries sometimes hampered the team, since four of the ten players were out with injuries at one point. The Varsity Cougarettes can look back with pride on a very successful season and look ahead to another good year when again they should be dominating. However, the Var- sity squad will lose four seniors: four-year lettermen Kim Miller, Paula Stull, and Captain Joan Humphries, plus two- year letterman Mary Harding. The JV Cougarettes, also coached by Miss Beninghove, had a tough-luck season. These girls posted a losing record of 1-6, but managed to slip by Botetourt Intermediate by a score of 15-14. Debra Stewart, Juanita Gibson, and Lisa Garten led the way for the Junior Varsity and should be assets to the Varsity squad next year. Linda Martin and Teresa Ayers served as managers for both Varsity and Junior Varsity teams. They were also in charge of keeping the scorebook and in general proved helpful to the Cougarettes.
