Brighter Future, Leroy Oland, construction superintendent, inspects the blueprints for the new school. 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.
