The day is coming soon when noon hour will not mean a daily hike up Commercial Street to the grade school cafeteria. Someday there will be work rooms for the numerous clubs and practice rooms for both band and chorus. The seige of the falling plaster, the song of the radiators and the invasion of the mosquitoes will be no more. The end of these everyday occurrences will be brought about with completion of the new high school. Since the spring of 1968. the students of Covington have watched as old buildings were demolished, the ground was cleared and broken, the I-beams welded into place, and now, as the end grows near, the finishing touches added to the classrooms. With the approval of Leroy Oland, construction superintendent, the student council and seniors were given private tours of the new building. Several anguished groans were heard as the 69’ers realized they were born one year too early. Several plaques and trophies have already been donated to the school by clubs and organizations. In a few years, the old high school will only be a fond memory for the old a I umni who attended it. Now, the pride of Covington can be seen not only on the inside, but the outside as well. 5 Framed by the trees and the steel structure, a painter completes the sign for the construction site. New Faces Add a Modern At the traditional pep session on the Court House lawn before the homecoming game, Mr. Goldsberry encourages the boys to win. 6 Tempo to School Life As a coach or as a fan, Mr. Erwin supported the teams. This was a year of change-over in the CHS people scene. From that first day, when Mr. Goldsberry stood before his students and said, “You’ve got to be cocky,” everyone knew' that these new' additions would boost morale and spirit. Four new coaches, Mr. Hunter, Mr. Hobaugh, Mr. Ailes, and Mr. Erwin, put a light on the sports sections as they whipped up some very proud scores. Miss Davis, with shot gun in hand, built a very enthusiastic FHA as well as an interesting home economics class. At semester break, the school lost two fine teachers, M rs. Morgan and Mrs. Ashton, but gained Mr. Starkey, and his friend, Oscar; Mrs. Mitchum; and of course, Richard Joseph Ashton (Tiny Trojan of CHS). Meanwhile, Mr. VVerremeyer was struggling through such confusion as marching band, band tour, and Spring Show. A few new faces showed up in the hall rat race also. Bruce Smith, with that beautiful accent, won the most spirit award and wrote the sports section for the Covington Friend. Blonde Jeri Warner represented the juniors at Homecoming. All these new' faces quickly fell into the pace of school life. Neither ant nor man nor praying mantis. Meet OSCAR. 7 While School Spirit Reigns The fact that new laces and places change a school cannot be denied, but the biggest and definitely best change made was in the souls of the student body. The desire to be better, the drive to win, and the pride to be different produced a spirit that could not be matched. The band, which has increased considerably in number, toured three other schools to show off its talent. The sports page of the newspaper rang with victory as the pep block backed up these stories with wild determination. CHS pulled off a number of firsts this year. There was the Career’s Day with over one thousand participating and the Citizen Scholarship Foundation Drive. The people of Covington donated over S3280 as well as their time to make the drive a success. The Swing Choir was added to the Music Department as well as a Concert Choir tour. The mighty gridiron men of CHS beat Fountain Central for the first time in history while the art classes did the same in the annual contest. Jody McConnell and Becki Smail claimed first and second prizes while Jeff Auter won honorable mention. The slogan—“When we work, we work; but when we play, we play” was not forgotten, even in classes. The Sociology class was offered to anyone who had an open mind and a loud voice to back it up. Speech class was renamed “fifth hour group therapy.” Senior Day found mobs of nearly graduated 69’ers picnicking on the school grounds. The year, 1969, proved to everyone that CHS has what it takes to make a school great. Enthusiastic Pep Block screams encouragement. Senior Band displayed concert formation. Supreme at C.H.S Sw ing Choir blended in harmony Coronation of Queen Rita Highlights Miss Rosie Holmes escorted by Dave Hadaller. 1967 Homecoming Queen: Miss Debbie McCoy. Freshman attendant and escort: Raquel Hunt and Bill Ricketts. Sophomore attendant and escort: Sharia Martin and Kenny Alward. Junior attendant and escort: Jeri Warner and Bob Carr. On the night of September 27. 1968, seven young ladies crossed the Homecoming football field. These lovely gowned girls were elected to represent those of beauty and grace at CHS. The freshmen selected Raquel Hunt and escort. Bill Ricketts, while the sophomores chose Sharia Martin and Kenny Alward. The juniors decided on Jeri Warner and Bob Carr. Dominating the spotlight were these four senior queen candidates: Rosie Holmes and her escort, Dave Hadaller; Rita Mallas, on the arm of Roger Bowling; Brenda Hall, escorted by Dean Gildersleeve; and Rita Alward, beside Tim Bell. The half time ceremony found Rita Alward queen. Kisses and flowers were in order as the 1967 queen, Debbie McCoy, crowned a very happy and beautiful queen. to Homecoming Festivities 1968 Homecoming Queen Miss Rita Alward Covington graduates returned from college for their homecoming. Two Homecoming victories climaxed the cry ‘‘Skunk 'Em!' as the Trojans defeated Turkey Run 39-0 and as the Freshman class won float competition with the same slogan. The roaring flames of a bonfire on the eve of the Trojan-Turkey Run game heightened the excitement for the upcoming festivities. Trojan fans turned out for the event in lively numbers to voice their support for the team. But one pep session wasn’t enough for the cocky Trojan team as they led the annual parade to downtown Covington for an afternoon rally of ardent CHS boosters. Enthusiasm in the sophomore, junior and senior classes also resulted in colorful and spirited floats. “We Won't Eat DeFeat” was the sophomore cry as they sported a Trojan refusing to taste of “de feet”. The junior class predicted “A Trojan Victory In Sight” through a pair of enormous yellow eyeglasses. The spirited sixty-niners marked their ballot with a “Vote for Victory” for the Trojan team. The decoration committee made effective use of blue and silver decorations to create a regal atmosphere for Queen Rita and her court to reign over at the Homecoming dance. The locally popular. Lemonade I mbrella Corps, provided music for the victory celebration amidst a crowd of three hundred Trojan fans. Surrounded by Kleenex, the juniors hurried to finish their float. 12 Bonfire pep session spurred Trojan spirit. A record breaking crowd attended the homecoming dance. The Freshman crystal ball predicted the Trojan homecoming victory with their first place float. Superintendent Livingston represented the community in their support for the football team. 13 . . and All Men, Merely Players Giving him what he wants? The rollicking, fun-filled Senior play, “Ask Any Girl, represented the combined efforts of a superb director. Mrs. Judy Ashton, and an overwhelmingly talented group of Seniors. file pla was centered around Meg Wheeler (plaved by Jody McConnell) and the many difficulties she encountered while trying to trap a husband in New York City. She was employed by the firm of Doughton and Doughton where she developed a fantastic crush on Evan Doughton (Dave Hadaller), the free-wheeling younger brother. Though she simply despised Miles Doughton (Bob Taylor), .Meg decided to enlist his aid in her campaign to marry Evan. During the process, Meg fell in love with Miles which entagled her in a very precarious, yet uproarious situation. Bounding out the cast were the boarding house girls, who were, it seemed also trying to get their clutches on a man. Two of the girls, Jeannie and Ada (Becki Smail and Rosie Holmes) finally did. Their men were Steve Jolley and Dave Bardos. Meg’s old-fashioned family; consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler (Bill Brewer and Judy Miller)and Aunt Lettie and Aunt Fern (Janyce Nielsen and Jean Hunt); added just the right amount of homespun humor to insure a well-rounded play. 1 he Senior play cast would also like to pay a special debt of graditude and appreciation to Mrs. Ashton and her zany husband who not only produced this wonder-derful play but also provided a great deal of fun and enjoyment to the cast. Weight-conscious Jeanie, portrayed by Becki Smail, checks out her “thin” new roommate. 14 “Ask Any Girl” Hoy brother!

Peace and quiet al last. . . 17 November and December The eighth grade French class endured the December cold to wish everyone a Joyeux A’del. Richard Purgason awarded Vickie and Bruce spirit tickets to the Holiday Tourney. ith the month of November came the election of a new national president. The whole country seemed to be campaigning; and like-wise, so were the politically minded students of Covington High. Mock ballots appeared in all of the study halls, and hearty arguments filled most of the classes. Civics and history classes held lengthy panel discussions and strangely enough, the Art Department was held up nearly a week, for the sake of opinions. Then, the noise was calmed the Wallace ties were disregarded, the Humphrey stickers were thrown out, and Jody Melton kept on grinning right into December. By the holidays, everyone was smiling right along with him. But with the Christmas spirit, came the last minute rush. The eighth grade French Class started it by caroling through the town in the language that the) were struggling hard to learn. Soon after, the band and chorus combined their efforts to perform the annual Christmas Concert. It was there that the senior band members were presented the coveted band sweaters. The days were going fast, but plans were made for the Ilolida) Tourney. Vickie Brewer and Bruce Smith were awarded the most-spirited Trojan award at a lung-bursting pep session before the big game. The long-awaited two week vacation ended the year of 1968. The year of “69” had finally arrived. 18 Step Up Trojan Pace Presenting the 1969 Senior Band members in uniform . . . ‘ 1 told you Nixon would win. Mr. Erwin.

The “new theatre” came to Covington with the production of Tom Jones, an impressionistic comedy based on the old English novel. The schoolmaster, Mr. Partridge (Gary Ellmore), narrated the tale as the servants quickly set up and removed mere suggestions of scenery. Young Tom Jones, a foundling (Alan Green-burg), was the ward of Squire Allworthy (Jim Boger), whose estate bordered on that owned by the blustery Mr. Western (Lonnie Jones), who was the lather of Tom’s love, Sophia (Karen Gerling). Pressured to forget Tom and marry the Squire’s repulsive nephew, Blifil (Curtis Hurley), Sophia and her maid. Honour (Linda Hegg), ran away to London to search for the banished Tom. En route they encountered Sophia’s hysterical cousin, Harriet Fitzpatrick (Jeri Warner); who was hiding from her irrational, Scottish husband (Dan W ood-row); the world’s most ineffectual highwayman (Mike Strawser); the harassed but candid innkeeper, Mrs. W hitefield (Diedre Cadman); the flirtatious widow of an army officer, Mrs. Waters (Dawn Allen); and the perpetually scurrying magistrate, Justice Dowling (Skip Epperson). Finally in London, the three girls found refuge at Lady Bellaston’s (Sharon Conner), the unscrupulous lady of fortune who attempted to marry Tom. In swift pursuit, the blundering Mr. Western was followed by his sister (Marcia Omahen), a very proper Londoner. After a duel, a misunderstanding and a trial, Tom and Sophia’s problem was solved by the unexpected testimony of Mrs. W aters and the unmasking of Blilil as the villain. Mr. Partridge presents the Lady. Don’t Ring the Bell! On March 31, Chief Werremeyer led his tribe of 117 select natives and a few faint-hearted missionaries toward the Louisville Settlement. After the hand played two fine concerts at Worthington and Huntingburg, Indiana, our drivers, Norma, Joe, and Rocky then turned the Conestogas toward Rockport and—food. After filling their stomachs, they proceeded to the world-renowned Pioneer Village, the former home of Abraham Lincoln. Mystic chants, “Don’t ring the bell!”, were heard through the still night air surrounding the famed shrine. Leaving their Rockport hosts stunned with the echoes of their last, sweet chords ringing in their brains, the group headed toward Fort Knox. After a game of army—with real guns and tanks—the Fort supplied the band with a K-ration type meal in their cafeteria. The band arrived at the Brown Hotel in Louisville at 9:00. The 1969 annual Rand Tour Awards were given at 10:30 in the Bluegrass Room. When it was over at 1:00 a.m., everyone immediately retired. This pleasant, very heavy sleep was brought to an abrupt end by Mrs. Hank and her band of shaving-cream-no-goods. After touring some Louisville industries, the music makers went to a plush theatre and slept through the spectacular show. Lion in Winter. Immediately following the evening meal the weary travelers departed for home. Mr. Werremeyer and Bill Ludlow draw the winning ticket for the raffle, which paid band tour expenses.

The brand new Swing Chorus performed for the first time before the Covington coummunity. Their numbers were “Windy’ and “Side By Side, which was accompanied by the Swing Band. 23 As We Do Our In the middle of April, a rumor rampaged through the school that a Spring Show was to be presented on May 8. 9, and 10. Soon, strange props, weird wigs, saddle shoes, children’s clothing and filmy formats bulged from lockers. The rumor was true. Bill Ludlow was chosen Master of Ceremonies, and he in turn chose some ol the artistes from the band to create ideas for the show. This heterogenous group, consisting of Steve Jolley, Janyce Neilsen. Joyce Glover, Boh Brewer, and Buss Hutchison conceived sketches, wrote puns, planned scenery and worked out special effects. The students began painting the scenery on the Sunday before the first performance on Thursday. This project involved many hours' of sketching and painting until after midnight for the whole week. In the mornings these painters felt sore in places where they didn’t even know they had places. Bill glibly MC-ed and ad libbed through four snappy performances. One of the more humorous parts of the show was the appearance of Boss Hankins. Bob Brewer, Jim Ludlow and Steve Jolley as the characters of “Guitar-zan.’ The show wasn’t all humor, though. With the combined effort of the chorus and band, there were many serious productions such as “These Things Shall Be”, “Give My Begards to Broadway . and “Carousel”, which featured Becki Smail and Myrna Allen as soloists. Equally impressive numbers were “When I’m 64” and Charleston”, a twenties dance routine by the flag girls. Then you know what I’m here after! With black lights and irridescence the CHS twiners performed a breathtaking routine Spring Thing Outstanding Seniors Steve Miller delivers the valedictory address at the annual Awards Night.

Prom King Dave Bardos - Queen Patti Jones A Memorable Evening in Guests samba to the South American rhythms of the Steve Parke Combo. Il was a beautiful sifjhl as the many boys in tuxedos and gills in brightly-colored l'ormals entered the Prom over the footbridge, which spanned a goldfish pond centered in a formal Japanese garden. The prom theme, It's a Small World”, was carried out with scenic murals depicting settings from all parts of the world plus a Venetian gondola, a Tahitian grass shack and Greek temple ruins. A fountain with colorful water decorated the center of the dance floor for those w ho danced to the music of the Steve Parke Combo and the Lemonade Umbrella Corps. Beth Shelby Alexander crowned the prom queen and king, Patti Jones and Dave Bardos. Bernie, the Saint Bernard, greeted the guests at the Coffeenian After-Prom-Party. Costumed characters and a ''land-going boat were featured in the parade while a sidewalk cafe and a hippie-infested garden were the background for the games.

The first being the Honor Banquet at which the intellectual of CHS receive their hard-earned honor jackets. This year’s first time winners included eight freshmen, nine sophomores, and three juniors as well as two seniors, making a grand total of twenty -two—a new school record. Eight seniors also earned a total of seven chevrons, the most possible in four y ears of high school. The second evening, Awards Night, not only ayvards the scholastically-minded student but also the vocational and athletically inclined student. Sam Marlin was chosen Outstanding Senior in Agricultural classes. Mike Straw-ser. Vickie Brewer, and Lonnie Jones received the Junior Play awards and Jody McConnell was awarded for her performance in the Senior Play. The Student Council-adopted project, the Citizens Scholarships, were awarded to many deserving seniors.

Sunday, May 25, 1969. marked the closing of high school days for the seniors. On this day, the class of “69 donned the gold and black gowns and performed those sacred steps that they had looked forward to all their lives. 1 he class was one of high scholastic achievemnet. Of its R4 members, all of which graduated, eleven graduated with honor (cum laude) and nine with great honor (magna cum laude). Mr. Deraid . Ailes gave-the Baccalaureate sermon. He is the minister of the Church of Christ and a favorite English teacher at Covington High School. Running along the same strains as Mr. Ailes' sermon, “Age of Answers’ , was the address given by Dr. James Ringer, registrar at Indiana State University, entitled “What is the Answer?” During the closing march, the seniors lost all control as they broke into a run for the outside. Once there, tears, laughter and kisses were displayed by all. Amid the confusion, Steve Hegg put all their feelings into one word which echoed throughout the gymnasium—WHOOO-RAY!!! Deraid Ailes enlightens the new world-bound seniors with his words of wisdom. Graduating Class of 1969” Notice those ever so changing expressions as tin end draws near. Graduates Discover New York On May 30, 1969, Uncle Gordy, Uncle Bob, Margaret, and Miss Smith joined a troop of freshly-graduated 469 ers headed for Washington on their 727 American Airlines jet. The group met their stewardess when Jody Melton discovered that life in the air is a little different from that in Silvenvood. Once in Washington, the mob checked into the merry Marriot where phones, room service and taxi's were hard to come by. After panting up the Washington Monument. viewing the bite House, touring the Capitol Building, Arlington National Cemetery and other memorials, the tireless tourists continued on their journey to New York City. After the 55 starved ex-seniors invaded the New Yorker Hotel, they took a sightseeing tour. An evening in Radio City Music Hall featured the Rockettes Stage Show and Paul [Newman in his latest movie “Winning . The trip was highlighted by an evening at the famous Copa Cabana Club where the young sophisticates climbed tables to watch Tom Jones—in person! Amid screaming women and flying napkins, the group viewed him performing the best of his hits. Many individual sightseeing tours were conducted while the more energetic of CHS's newest alumni were en route to the hotel from the Empire State Building. Upon their arrival home, memories of those cold showers, tired feet, and mosquito bites served as reminders of their whirlwind tour of a different w orld. Hey man dig that plane! Our own Cassanova.

To many people, the word academic stands for the work done only in the classroom, but to CHS students it represents more than seven classes a day. They found that the thought and understanding used in school could be broadened to out-of-school hours, and, likewise, the events of the world could be brought back into the classes. A fine example of this was the junior history classes. Feeling that the faded, tattered flag in the park was degrading, they pooled their cooking skills and sold their goodies at noon hour. Now, because of their concern, a proud red-white-and-blue flies. Feeling even more patriotic during the presidential election, the students supported their candidates with wild enthusiasm, yet this support was not based on the party but on policy which a majority of the students had carefully studied. The new Junior Achievement companies started many thinking in the lines of business. Competing against each other, Cellco and Peblaco made and sold their products with one throught in mind—profit.The word stuck with many seniors as they look turns at the concession stands working for that dream called Senior Trip. It is easy to see that Covington High School offered more than grades this year. 11 gave each student a chance to work at what he felt was important and the experience he would need to follow’ his goal. fP||t Hpi MWm Popcorn!

All work and no play would make anyone very dull. 1969 has probably been one of the most “undull’ years ever. Naturally, all of these hectic events would slip into the classroom. Sometimes the schedule would be so hurried that the kids would sneak their odd jobs into classes. Other times a teacher would notice that half the class was asleep and issue a break from the routine of book work. During the two annual plays, Mrs. Ashton and Airs. Guymon spent much of their class time writing passes for the eager, but forgetful, cast members or organizing play books, costumes, and scenery. You would have thought that the band and chorus was moving out during Spring Show. Circling around these stage productions was a maze of events—homecoming, football and basketball dances, band, chorus and Civics class tours, underclassmen parties, sport and honor banquets, the prom, etc. The work put into these social events was tremendous but the satisfaction was even greater. Two words compose the academics of CHS—work and enjoyment. Neither can stand by itself and made a good school. 43 We Worked Together Sarabel Smith, Business Education; Indiana State University, B.S., M.S.; Senior Class. Concession Manager. M.

Mr. Goldsberry spent many hours busily supervising the faculty, enforcing discipline, selecting furniture for the new school and revising the dress code, lie initiated the first Career Day, with more than fifty representatives from schools and industry to the school to lecture to the Covington student body and the senior classes (rom lour area schools.

These wins were Turkey Run, Bismarck, New Market and the tri-meet with Williamsport and Pine Village, f our returning lettermen were important factors in these victories. They were Roger Bowling.

These improvements would not have taken place had it not been for the crosscountry coach. Mr. Deraid Ailes.

And. again, like most other schools, the clean boys and uniforms became dirt-packed and the green field became a one hundred yard sea of mud. None of these factors, however, discouraged the boys. They were willing to go through any kind of practice just to win. Not even the tough, hard-talking coach could break up this storehouse of determination. After a long, hard season, the Covington grid team received a well deserved second place in the WRC. It was not until the third game that the Trojan quarterback, Andy Thorne, got the grip on the ball and started leading the Trojans to victories. These first two losses were the only W RC games in which the Trojan team was beaten. From that time on. the boys were not just a group of boys; they were a team working and fighting together for victories. The main person responsible for the teamwork and victories was Coach Jack Hunter. The man who kept Coach Hunter from becoming overly excited was Assistant Coach Delmar Hobaugh. Boys receiving special recognition were Bill Ludlow, .Most Valuable Player, and Pete Bodine, Most Tackles. This year, instead of two co-captains, there were three senior captains; Bill Ludlow, Bill Brewer, and Pete Bodine. a Winning Season Managers: Terry Reynolds, Mont Jolley.

Forty boys jogged out to the field daily, and trudged back sweat) and dirty after a long practice session. It seemed like it all was worth it, though, as you look at the scoreboard. They played five games, and lost only one. Their wins consisted of Coal Creek, Attica, and Seeger twice, while the second Attica game was the one loss. Contributing to their success were the three coaches. Mr. Don Ford. Mr. Vince Grogg. and Mr. Bob Honnold. who volunteered their time and energy to build the varsity teams lor 1973 and 1974. lagging along behind were two very enthusiastic managers, Chris Bowling and kirt Adams.

Rich and Dave, light Newell’s fire. Bill Brewer Guard Randy Crum Center The 1968-1969 Trojan basketball team’s success came as a surprise to most of the community but certainly not to the Trojan Pep Block and the rest of the student body. The Trojans finished the season with a 13-9 mark and second in the Wabash River Conference. The Trojans lost to North Vermillion by three points and Coal Creek Central by four points (in overtime) in the last two conference games to narrowly miss coming off with a conference championship. Roger Bowling led the varsity scorers with a 16.0 average, and sophomore center Jim Ludlow hauled down 210 rebounds to lead the CHS dribblers in that department. Senior Bill Ludlow missed the last part of the season with a bad leg but led the Trojans in rebounding averages with an 11.3 mark. If a most exciting game had to be chosen, it would have to be against Williamsport. With five seconds to go and the score tied at 73 all, Jim Ludlow pulled down a defensive rebound and passed off to Bowling, who dribbled to half court and passed to Bill Brewer who laid it up with two seconds remaining and the final horn went off as the ball fell through the net . . . another Trojan victory.

Hustling was the job of the 1968-1969 B-team basketball boys as they were led into a victorious season b their coach, Mr. Hobaugh. As a result of many practices, Billy Bob Ricketts became the high scorer with a total of 381 points and the most valuable team player; Denny Taylor became the best live throw shooter with a 13 percentage: and Ralph Ricketts became the leading rebounder with 80 offensive and 80 defensive rebounds. The B-team players are now ready and eager to step into the shoes of the varsity team. 1968-1969 Scoreboard We 41 West Lafayette They 43 52 New Market 40 37 Attica 56 48 Fountain Central 33 50 Ladoga 46 50 Central Catholic 54 51 Turkey Run 39 49 Thorntown 34 55 West Vigo 47 38 Crawfordsville 40 60 Seeger 49 60 Rockville 40 55 Attica (tourney) 56 34 Schiarman 41 49 North Vermillion 57 62 Coal Creek 32 53 Williamsport 40 65 Clinton 28 52 Frankfort 61 Compliments of Forrest Wallace, Janies B.

Under the supervision of Coach Hunter, the eighth grade basketball team, had a building year. ith practice sessions beginning as early as 7 a.in., the team prepared for the 68-69 season. Several of the important players were: Tim Harlow, Rick Smith, Kandy Crain, Randy Curry and Kevin Hauk. The squad participated in their first game and losing the second in a close game with Fountain Central. With Mr. Ailes as their coach, the seventh grade team compiled a record of 7-5. Key players for this team were: Zack Thomas. Joe Osborn, Craig Grubb, Bruce Ford and Mike Cotten. In the tourney at Seeger, the team won their first game, wildly supported by cheerleaders and fans. 65 Spirit Stick Spurs In the summer of 1968, four lively young ladies traveled to Vincennes cheerleading camp and returned to CHS full of enthusiasm and spirit. These were the varsity cheerleaders who led the fans in full support of the Trojan teams throughout the year. Composed of Rita Alward, Sharon Connor, Marilyn Grubb and Rosie Holmes, they worked hand in hand with the Pep Club, Pep Band, and sponsors, .Mrs. Ashton and Miss Davis. Together with the B-team cheerleaders, Jerri Bardos, Jane Hegg, Lou Ann Nichols and Lynne Suzuki, the girls went to conferences and workshops in order to prepare themselves for the games ahead. You could find all eight of them in the halls working up new1 yells, hanging spirit signs and participating in a private game called locker climbing” before the tourney and sectional. The hardships of a cheerleader are something never discussed. You all know that the girls wore new football and basketball outfits and that they won several awards at camp. But no one sees the goosebumps and shivers as they watch the football game in winter coats. Who decorated the bleachers, goal posts, and cars for homecoming? Who limped after ending a yell with one glorious split? Who jumped the highest, yelled the loudest, and cried the hardest after the sectional loss?

One of the main events this year was the hard-playing basketball teams. The varsity went undefeated with four victories (two over Attica, two over North Vermillion) with super-star 5T1 Vfc” Patti Sanderson, averaging 13 points a game; and 5’4” Bonnie Glover, averaging 11.5 points a game. These averages, however, would not have been so high if it weren’t for the teamwork of Karen Gerling, Dawn Allen, Barbara Coffing, Debbie Fogle, and the other team members. The B-team also had a good year with two victories and two losses. Their great teamwork enabled Cheryl F ord to obtain an 8.5 average per game. Of course, these victories could not have been possible had it not been for their fine coach (coachess?), Mrs. Ford. Another success which was added to the basketball victories was the initiation dinner for incoming members. After the dinner, pins were awarded to those having 50 points. There also was what seemed like an invasion at Clowes Hall in Indianapolis. This was when the girls attended the musical Fiddler on ike Roof. The year had a very interesting end when the feminine athletes threw an all-sports party for the masculine athletes of CHS. 68 Affluent C-Men Leave Plaque First Row: B. Taylor. B. Brewer, L.

What’s it like to lug thick law books through the court house for a whole day? Ask one of the members of the C-Men’s Club. As one of their projects this year, volunteers from the C-Men’s Club moved books for Judge Vince Grogg at the Fountain County Court House. Leading the C-Men’s Club was President Kich Purgason. Holding the office of Mr. Useless (Vice-pres.) was Bob Taylor with Buss Crowder as Secretary-treasurer. To become a member of the C-Men’s (dub, the athlete must play one-half of all his eligible playing time in his particular sport. Letters may be won in these five sports—football, cross country, basketball, track and baseball. On a wild spending spree, the club decided they might just as well buy corsages for the cheerleaders. So they did—twice!—for Homecoming and for the Holiday Tourney. Besides, the cheerleaders did a little better than superior this year. Looking into the bankbook after this mad extravaganza to find that they had a little money left, the guys got together and decided to blow the rest of it on a plaque for the new high school. Anyway, maybe it will serve as a memorandum of the C-Men’s Club of 69 . Mr. Rater congratulates Bill upon receiving his letter jacket. Bodine Breaks School’s front Row: B. Bushue. K. Bowling, J.

The track team had an exceptionally good team litis year even though they lost three of their best men: Bill Brewer, Dave Bardos, and Bill Ludlow. Brewer, however, tied the school record in the long jump (21’4”) prior to being hurt. Bill was also selected as one of the co-captains with Roger Bowling, who was the top 880 man. Pete Bodine was a stand out all year and set a new record for the shot put (41’2 4”). He was also elected the Most Valuable Trackster. Richard Beilis, an outstanding runner, tied the school record in the two-mile run with a time of 10:51. and was voted Outstanding Junior. Denny Taylor was the best high jumper and was selected Outstanding Sophomore. Bill Ricketts was an important sprinter and the Outstanding Freshman. Other boys who deserve recognition are Richard Purgason, the top sprinter; I’im Bell, the best 140 man; Jeff Auter, a 100 and 220 dash runner; Rick Rahm, the 440 man; Jim Ludlow, the top pole vaulter; Mike Stump, a dash man; and Randy Gritten, and excellent miler.

The practices were no different than practices from years gone by, but the spirit and activeness of the diamond-boys gave a certain glow to the aspect of the game. The hard times and hot days that were endured were soon forgotten as their golden-armed pitcher. Leonard Orr, and their coach, Mr. Rater led them into many interesting games. Acts of fascinating ability were common with each inning as senior lettermen Steve Miller and Rob Bre wer conducted some very exciting and outstanding plays. Several of the underclassmen also exhibited numerous shows of sportsmanship and capability which promised an excellent team in the year. 1970. 72 Sparkling Season Senior letlerman Steve Miller. 73 Pep Club Sponsors Sports Banquet Each year, at the end ol track season, a banquet is held for the men of CHS. If a person is lucky enough to reach the smorgasbord before the men do, he would find that a huge dinner is planned for the Annual All-Sports Banquet. However, all-sports means any member of the school, male or female (right. Patti), who has played or managed a sport is entitled to his full share. It is without a doubt that they take just that. Sponsored by the Pep Club, they buy trophies and assume responsibility for the meal. .Miss Laura Bone, club president, served as Mistress of Ceremonies as she handled the presentation to coaches and guests with great charm. More than 10 trophies were presented. Some of these were the Captain's Awards which went to Bill Ludlow, Pete Bodine, and Bill Brewer for football: Bill Brewer and Roger Bowling for track: Roger Bowling and Richard Beilis for cross country; Bill Brewer for basketball: and Steve Miller for baseball. The Most Valuable Player awards went to Bill Ludlow for football. Pete Bodine for track. Richard Beilis for crosscountry, and Roger Bowling for basketball. Mistress ol Ceremonies.

Did they learn how to remove paint from sidewalk and buildings? Or how to supervise locker cleanup days? Not exactly, but whatever they learned helped to make the 68-69 Student Council one of the most active at CHS. As one of its annual projects, the council sponsored the Homecoming activites and decorated the Queen’s float. They also raffled off a football and gave away two tickets to the Holiday Tourney to the boy and girl with the most school spirit. This once-in-a-life-time chance w ent to Bruce Smith and Vickie Brewer. The group volunteered the services of the students of Covington to help w ith the Citizen Scholarship Drive.

Susie Homemakers of CHS Equipped with an exuberant sponsor, a fun-loving president and a larger than ever membership, the CHS FI IA dove head first into the year by sponsoring the Sadie Hawkin’s dance on November 23. Miss Davis encouraged everybody to “marry up” with a very persuasive double-barrelled shotgun. The best of the worst dressed turned out to be Dave Bardos and Kathy Krout who were crowned LiF Abner and Daisy Mae. Flowers, candles, and serious faces attended the installation of newr officers. Christy Richey served her second term as president with Patty Murphy backing her up as vice-president. Artistic talents were displayed at Homecoming as the FHA-sponsored car rounded the parade route. Members of the club also decorated for the Seeger FHA District meeting. Leaves fell and the FHA girls raked 'em up—free of charge as a civic project. As another project, the members decorated a tree and displayed a gigantic inflated Santa; so that the upper hall reflected the holiday spirit. The “Susie Homeakers of CHS'' led an active social life. A hay-ride and a cook-out were on the agenda for the party at the home of Maggie Davis. After this success, the group began to plan a slumber party in the gym. Ouija boards, Beatle albums, acrobatics and lots ol food and drink added to the sleepless night. Don't tell me they eat that stuff!! But by the end of the period. Christina Myers, Julie Boyer, and Marsha Witsman managed to eat one helping of sukiyaki. 77 Pictures Plus Problems Plus Prose = Trojan On Ladder: J. Miller, J. McConnell, J. Auler, D. Poll, R.

Fortified with GAA candy and warm cokes, the staff slaved long, hard hours after school to edit copy, crop pictures, and plan pages. Lincoln's birthday was even celebrated in the staffs room when they were trapped by the Republican Dinner guests. The staff was forced to make their escape by jumping out the door behind the stage. Besides having all this fun, the staff did a little work and topped the record for advertisement and subscription sales. Four innovations this year were the Tommy Trojan Traveling Trophy won by the seniors, an original cover design by Jeff Auter, a note to Mrs. Erwin reminding her of Dickie’s allowance, and Fat Man’s gifts of candy and perfume. After all the work, play, and last minute rushes to make deadlines, the ’69 annual was finished—THE result of all this harried havoc, you see here.

Mr. Goldsberry “revising” senior interviews, the inevitable rush to publish an issue on time, and, finally, it is a newspaper. From the very beginning, the 1969 staff was determined to make this year s newspaper something different. The goal was for the 1969 Trojan Times to be a true description of the students and their activities at CHS. Colorful senior interviews, a horoscope by the Trojan gypsy, and features like “Jan Raps” (pop music reviews), “Sound Off!” (student editorals), “Him and Her” (the local version of Ann Landers), and many other articles helped to review' life at CHS as it really is—hectic and spirited. The long hours spent typing (all right, so there were a few mistakes!) the times spent succumbing to the claustrophobia of the bookroom, and the study halls given to the task of hurriedly stapling together the latest issue were all worth the pride the staff felt when it came to distributing the final issue of the 1969 “Trojan Times ’.

Dawn Allen. Sponsor Mrs. Ashton. Secretary Vickie Brewer, treasurer Ruth Ann Brakley. One hundred and thirty-five girls made their debut at the Fountain Central Holiday Tourney. Proud Trojan fans looked on, as well as three other envious pep blocks, as the CHS GOLDEN PEP CLUB took their seats. The radiant color was but a small change. The spirit which had been lacking in past years, suddenly bulged at the seams. Under the leadership of Mrs. Ashton and Miss Davis, the girls undertook a work day early in the year. The girls could have been found raking, washing, and cleaning on a Saturday afternoon to earn enough money to buy the black and gold shakers and mitts. The support that they gave to the team was unsurpassable. Nothing could quiet our glorified loud mouths, with the exception of the National Anthem. (And even then, they sang.) However, the girls didn’t make all the noise. ithout warning, some very masculine voices would suddenly raise the cheer—HOOK AY—! This was unmistakenly the smaller but powerful men’s pep block. I ogether with girls they compiled the biggest, brightest, proudest, and certainly loudest club at CHS. 81 A-V and Library Club Members If I I First Row: B. Ludlow. D. Salts, T. Stamaugh. R. Crum.

The Future Farmers of America, the only high school organization for agricultural students, began the year by finishing the greenhouse which was started last year. Each member then began a personal project in horticulture which included the use of some new experimental plants. Another plant project completed by the hoys was the replanting of the planters on the square. Some ol the hoys who are more interested in stock participated in three cattle judging contests placing high in each. Many hoys could he seen with packets of seeds in their hands during the spring. This was because they were selling them to raise money for their many projects accomplished during the year. These projects were directed by the president, Sam Martin. Mr. Brown, the club sponsor, then ended the year by organizing a trip to St. Louis to study new developments in farm machinery and animal husbandry at the Purina Farms. In preparation of National FFA Week. Sam Martin. Bob Hunt and Mr. Brown mount sign on the completed greenhouse. 84 Band Travels to State Fair Council members plan the tour at school. The officers were: Laura Bone, Drum Majorette; Bill Ludlow, pres.; Rich Purgason, vice-pres.; Rita Mallas, secretary; Janyce Nielsen, treasurer. Representatives were: Kurt Conklin, Dennis Fields, Steve W illiams. Dave Allen. CHS music-makers, under the direction of a new maestro, Mr. Gordon Werremeyer, again was an impressive organization. This group, consisting of over 100 members, had a more than successful marching season and is considered to be one of the best in central western Indiana. They owe it partially to the assistant director. Bob Brewer, otherwise known as the “Band-aid”. I pon the completion of the marching season, the Covington prodigees, assisted by the Chorus, presented a delightful Christmas Concert. Their audience, consisting of band parents and boyfriends, considered the concert a rewarding and worthwhile experience. The carousing combo with this experience under their belt decided to blow town on another of their famous tours. Many hours of long rehearsal and private practice were spent in preparation for this excursion. The second Annual Band Tour Awards Night proved to be entertaining and even revealing as Karen Miller received the Johnny Weismeuller award and Pete Bodine was the recipient of the Chief Hick award. Knding the year with presentation of the hard-earned awards, Mr. Weremeyer presented the Arion award to Bill Ludlow and the Conlin award to Richard Purgason. Right in the middle of Colas Rreugnon, Mr. Werremeyer is interrupted by the photographer. 85 Sweet Sixteen of Marching Band Laura Born Drum Majorette J. Glover, V. Gayler, J. Hegg, J. Bardos, L.

With Mrs. Hicks leading, they struggled with the harmony and beat of each song until it was perfected (well, almost)! The chorus had a full schedule this year. They performed numerous concerts, including the Christmas and Easter programs. The Concert Choir, with the girls in their new gowns, sang specials at both of these concerts and made a successful trip to state contest. A new attraction this year was the Swing Choir, a group consisting of twenty young peo- ple, with Leajean Holycross pounding away at th piano. Three soloists, Myrna Allen, Patty Suiters, an Jan Smail, won first at the district solo and ensembl competition in Class A. They traveled to Indianapoli for the state contest and made a fine showing. Tha spring, the entire mixed chorus sang at the Sprin. Festival at Fountain Central and started plans for th annual Spring Show. In May, senior chorus member, sang at CHS for the last time as they performed a their own Baccalaureate. ii ii !!■ %.

Full of spirit, sixteen rugged ’69ers trooped off to the football fields while the rest filled the bleachers or performed at half time. Later in the fall, those of dramatic talent put together a rewarding three act play, “Ask Any Girl The whole class started early on the selling campaign which financed a trip to Washington, D.C., and New York City.

They were honored when Jeri Warner and Glenn Carr were voted as queen attendant and escort. The magazine sales, which started in November, were led by Linda Hegg and Dawn Allen. With all the effort put forth from the junior class, the sales exceeded $4500 and set a new record. After three weeks of havoc and chaos, the juniors successfully presented the play, “Tom Jones”. This was made possible only through the long hard hours put in by the director, Mrs. Dianne Guymon. The juniors were very proud when one of their classmates, Bonnie Glover, was awarded the “Outstanding Teenager Award.“ The class was also honored when several members were accepted by the National Honor Society. There was much effort put forth by the juniors to complete the prom preparations. Only through tedious planning and long hours was the beautifully decorated prom completed. The class of “70” gladly bade farewell to the class of “69”. They are now looking ahead to being the first graduating class from the new high school.

Secretary; and Lou Ann Nichols, Student Council Representative. The sophomores’ first project in their last year as underclassmen was the float for Homecoming. The float could not have been completed without the help given by Mr. Don White and Mr. James Branham, the sophomore class sponsors. Although the theme and workmanship were excellent, they just weren’t quite as good as the freshmen and juniors’ who received first and second places respectfully. Probably the happiest day of any sophomore is the day his class ring arrives. The CHS sophomores were no exception to this. After voting Herff Jones as the company to make the rings, the sophomores eagerlv awaited their arrival. When the day finally arrived, no one could speak of the sophomore class as gloomy. The sophomore class was really outstanding in both the field of athletics and academics. Several sophomores were considered as outstanding in each sport at CHS and were given letter sweaters. There were also many who received honor jackets and chevrons Tor their high academic achievements.

As Freshman class sponsor, Mr. Erwin’s Darwinian antics typify the freshman class. The freshman’s ’68-69 year started out with a hang when they received first prize for their Homecoming float. An enormous skunk was displayed with the theme “Skunk ’em”, which the team did. After the votes were counted, the officers were announced as follows: Bob Hoagland, President; Carla Miller, Vice-President; Verneta Gouty, Secretary; Judy Cline, Treasurer; Janet McConnell was Student Council and Kathy Shelby was Reporter. The “Frosh” can hardly wait for the many exciting times yet to come in their high school career.

The eighth grade officers, Greg McCubbin, Randy Crain, Mary Pat Gilmore, and Sandy Curtis, immediately plunged into preparations for Homecoming. The class, under the direction of their sponsors, Mrs. Ritenour and Mr. Clawson, anticipated the thrill of Homecoming by decorating a convertible. The theme was based on PUNCH!!!, a new laundry detergent. Although the entry failed to place, the eighth graders felt the effort was worth it. The cheerleaders, Becky Elliott, Bobby Hegg, Cind Suzuki, and Sonna Woodrow did a tremendous job in boosting the Junior High football team onto a victorious year. The boys and their coaches, Mr. Don Ford and Mr. Vincent Grogg showed real Trojan spirit. The basketball team showed great improvement, but time ran out for Mr. Hunter and the eighth grade Trojans. After seven months of constant debate about the class trip, the class united and this chant was heard ringing out the windows of the buses as the eighth grade arrived at their destination, winding up a great school year: “We’re the greatest, you can see. We’re the Class of ’73!” Eighth grade class officers relax with Twister.

Coming from the grade school to the high school was big, exciting. and a major step for them. In autumn of 1968, the first event was to elect class officers. After a day of “campaigning”, the class voted for and elected Diane Allen as president, Craig Grubb as vice-president, Nancy Rennick as secretary and Karin Scering as treasurer. Then the seventh grade with full force met and decided to place a football player on the back of a jeep for homecoming. A sign, held by the man, read Sock it to’em, Trojans.” This, with tin addition of strips of white and yellow paper enabled the seventh graders to win third place. As the football season ended, the basketball team formed. The next event was to elect seventh grade cheerleaders. All the girls did great, but finally the class voted for Nancy Rennick, Diana Mycroft, Debbie Gre-more, and Penny Douglas. The team, coached by Mr. Ailes, had to be up, dressed and on the gym floor at 7 o’clock in the morning. One of the most panic-causing situations this year was locker inspection. ith surprising speed, the class of ’74 broke the standing records of all past classes. The seventh grade’s exciting year could not have been possible without the effort supplied by Mr. and Mrs. Johnson. The young Trojans are looking forward to new adventures in the school year ’69-’70. Beginning their climb through the next six years, tlie seventh grade was led by Diane Allen, president; Craig Grubb, vice-president; Nancy Rennick, secretary; and Karin Scering, treasurer.

Jody McMiller, editor in chief of the 1969 Trojan, would like to thank a number of people for making this work of art possible. Some of these are Mr. Johnson, for his permission to empty half his study hall third period: Sir. Ailes. for half ol his freezer that we call a work room; Patti Sanderson, for her GAA candy; Jody Melton, lor his 7-ups; and Fat man for his king-size puns. I his has been a great educational experience for me. I never realized a person could give up study halls, lunch hour, and a couple of hours after school every day, and still be late on deadlines. Nevertheless, I came through in one piece, as did the antique pica typewriter (which absolutely refused to print As). I would like to take time now to thank our sponsor. However, you just don’t thank someone like Mrs. Guv-mon. You rent a plane and skywrite “Mrs. G., Be my valentine!” But since the staff is so broke, we will have lo settle for a simple word of gratitude—GRATITUDE. I would also like lo apply this to all my freezing, featherbrained friends that spent so many hours around the conference table and ruined so many pairs of hose. Congratulations, stall. ou did a line job! I II bet you never want to see me again. And with this thought, I close. -- cToOW C O N E- 116 Compliments of Film Division—Olin Works Covington, Indiana Compliments of HAYDEN PLUMBING HEATING 213 • 3rd Street Covington, Indiana 793-3190 LOWELL HOLYCROSS Friendly Service Covington, Indiana Phone 793-2351 Compliments of FREY ACE HARDWARE DR.
