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.
