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

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
