The Marching Trojans displayed an outstanding half-time performance and accompanied the Grand March as the queen candidates and attendants were escorted across the field. The queen candidates and escorts were Dawn Allen and Neil Keller, Sharon Conner and Kick Rahm, Debbie Fogle and Boh Hunt, and Karen Gerling and Dan Woodrow. The queen’s court was filled by Junior attendant Lou Ann Nichols escorted by Greg Lewis, Sophomore attendant Cindy Dennis escorted by Dave Allen, and Freshman attendant Maryl Nichols escorted by Tim Harlow. At half-time the 1968-69 Homecoming Queen Miss Rita Alward, escorted by crowned Miss Dawn Allen the new 69-70 Homecoming Queen. v%yc r� VvywTO,i.v,“tV Vj ‘ y� T� v v, i“ Avri'Ay AV«, (ii v. r! sG' Vyi'AG� i AG'� 'A'iGVDi A t'� V. iGV.� iGV«lA .Y.N'.,- . i,‘. ,.,.V.Y.V.'.YA' « '. 1'' '•• yt'i Y Y � ' • ''•• 'Y' .a nee.

Debbie..i Bob Rest Assured You can Rest Assured that the Seniors, when presented with a situation, could obstinately stick it out and fight to the end. This. too. was the attitude of Mr. Morlock (Curtis Hurley), a feisty old businessman who refused to let his daughter Mary (Patti Suiters) marry beneath her station to Joe Lanconi (Alan Greenburg). the son of Luigi Lanconi (Skip Epperson), an Italian meatcutter. Refusing to listen to his wife (Jerri Warner) or his lawyer (Robert Thornton) or secretary (Dawn Allen), Mr. Morlock became so adamant that he and Luigi got in a fist light, causing the poor meatcutter to suffer a heart attack. Then, unbeknownst to the audience, Mr. Morlock lapsed into sleep, in which he dreamed that Luigi had died and had returned to haunt him. The fun mounted as Morlock was examined by Dr. Brown (Gary Ellmore) and pestered by his daughter Jessica (Deidre Cadman) and housekeeper Mildred (Linda Hegg). Then, dreaming that he had died, Morlock—or his ghost, rather— ran into further complications when Lucifer (Charles Bainbridge) showed up ready to take him Down Under with Mrs. Schmaltz (Lynne Suzuki), a giggly old hat with a yen for poisoning husbands—all eight of them. The clincher came when lie learned that the doctor and the undertaker, Mr. Black (Richard Beilis), both had designs on his wife. Vociferously repenting of his stubbornness, Mr. Morlock then awoke and vowed to be the ideal husband and father. The Seniors Played Other characters in the cast were Marcia Oma-hen as Martha, Luigi’s wife; Richard New as Mr. Brubaker, Morlock’s boss; Bonnie Glover as Mrs. Brubaker; Debbie Sentelle as Mrs. Frinck, the German charwoman; and Neil Keller as Jake, the newsboy. The play was given superb direction under the auspices of Mrs. Craig and Mrs. Linn, without whom the play would surely have been— in show biz parlance—a “turkey.’ r Cool Jrand Jim, stage hand Jim Ramey that is. provided accurate sound effects and curtain pulls. The Juniors Played Three Fingers In The Door Varying expressions of concerned actresses display the changing atmospheres of Three Fingers in the Door. William and Hannah Heupel try to assist Uncle Gregory as he struggles to his feet. Backstage chaos creates unmemorized lines. 14 Sylvia listens intently as Uncle Gregory tries to explain the strange happenings taking place. A long-last promise to her deceased father leads Sylvia Long (Susie Stockdale), a young, pretty girl of about twenty, to the delapidated, secluded house of her quite wealthy great uncle, Gregory Long (Kenny Al-ward). Accompanied by her aunt, Tessie Tingle (Sue Young), her friend, Betsy Brown (Jane Hegg), and her fiance, Paul Harden (Mark Walter), Sylvia is disappointed to be greeted by her uncle’s two housekeepers, the disagreeable Mr. and Mrs. Heupel (David Denhart and Janet Johannes), and his rather unconcerned cook, Anna (Jennie Richey). At their arrival, Clara (Patti Ltchison), Mr. Heupel’s niece, tries to warn the visitors of some apparent danger by sneakily holding up three fingers, but only when she is sure that her uncle isn’t watching. Aunt Tessie uncovers the meaning of Clara’s warnings when she is shot at in the middle of the night and wakes up to see “Three Fingers in the Door”. The next day, after finding a note saying that Uncle Gregory’s life is in danger, Sylvia becomes increasingly worried and sends Betsy for the police. Betsy mysteriously disappears, but Paul returns with two officers (Rollie Nielsen and Curt Massey) to find Aunt Tessie at gunpoint, Sylvia in the well, and Betsy tied up in the dungeon with the real Uncle Gregory. The Uncle Gregory Aunt Tessie interrupts Anna’s daily work with her insistent scolding. Doing her morning exercises. Aunt Tessie rows the boat as Mr. Heupel angrily watches. Sylvia knew was not the actual Uncle Gregory but was Three-Fingers Mike Denson, the notorious forger. Along with the Heupels, Mike locked the real Mr. Long in the dungeon and was tearing down the house to find his money. After the officers carted away the convicts, Clara crept from her hiding place under the lumpy sofa, bringing with her a bag of money containing Uncle Gregory’s wealth. The Junior Play cast would like to express their appreciation to Mrs. Lynn and Mrs. Craig for their tolerance of unmemorized lines, laughing on stage, and lightning without thunder. 15 “Sound Limit 70” “What is misery?” queried Master of Ceremonies Kurt Conklin from his easy chair near the middle of the show. The answer was certainly not “Sound Limit 70”, this year’s version of the annual Spring Show. From the swelling strains of the full band and chorus to the roaring reverberations of the Swing Band and Swing Choir to the sometimes humorous but always laughable jokes of Kurt and his partner Jim Ludlow, “Sound Limit 70” 16 was a smashing success. Besides the usual stellar performances of the hand and chorus, the festivities were enhanced by the Dixieland tunes of the Jazz Band, the racing rhythms of Kenny and Kurt on the drums, the smooth harmony of the Girls Quartet, and the hauntingly original renditions strummed and sung by Keith Summers. Quickening the pace and snapping the audience back to attention were skits like “Who’s on First?” by Curtis Hurley and Dan Woodrow and “12 Years of School.” Of course, no one dozed off during the leggy numbers performed by the Twirlers and the Flag Girls, either! Add to all of this the mastery of Steve Wiliams at the organ, whether Bach or rock. Stirred and sifted by directors Mrs. Hicks and Mr. Werremeyer, “Sound Limit 70” never stopped and yielded lots of listening pleasure. In Concert or on the Field, Best Band of All Caught in the act of directing the CHS bands, Mr. Werremeyer displays the zeal that he transmitted to his students.

Covington is fortunate to have businesses in its locale that realize the importance of learning and that reward those students who take full advantage of the opportunities that school offers them. The Fountain Trust Company and Interstate Sand and Gravel, Inc., have for the past 12 years given honor jackets to students who have excelled in academic work. Compliments of WHITE AND WHITE. Janet gratefully receives her honor certificate. 20 Students were treated to a delicious meal prepared by the CHS culinary staff, and were then presented with their respective awards. Recognition was given in the form of certificates, pins and jackets. And for the first time girls were allowed to choose the type of jacket they preferred; as was expected, none of them chose blazers. Glancing about uncertainly. Dot climbs into her jacket. Seniors either receiving jackets or additional chevrons are Jerry Griswold. Bonnie Glover, Melody Ritenour, Kurt Conklin, Vickey Brewer, Linda Hegg, Leajean Holycross, and Ron Lance. 21 Awards Night Awards after awards were bestowed on members of the CHS student body by representatives of the school, the community, and various civic organizations in recognition of superior accomplishments in areas of leadership, service, and scholarship. Miss Smith, senior class sponsor, presented the coveted Best All Around Senior award to Richard Beilis. Four outstanding senior members of GAA received state recognition in the form of plaques for their accomplishments. Holding their plaques are Barbara Coffing, Bonnie Glover, Karen Gerling, and Melody Ritenour. Mrs. Hunter, on behalf of CHS, accepted Outstanding Art Student Linda Hegg’s gift. Underclassmen Mike Fleenor and Dot Miller also garnered awards from Mr. Johnson and Mr. Ashton. 22 All Sports Banquet Students, faculty, and fans gathered for a carry-in dinner to honor CHS athletes for their successful performances during the 1969-70 season. Most decorated were the stalwarts of the Sectional winning basketball squad Len Orr, Tim Pettit, Kon Lance, and Jim Ludlow. Richard Beilis received both Most Valuable and Captain awards from cross country coach Mr. Ailes. Kurt Conklin claimed the baseball award, and Jim Ludlow1 accepted a special award for free throw' accuracy. In addition to regular awards for baseball, cross country, football, basketball, and track, Daw'n Allen, Pep Club president and mistress of ceremonies, awarded a trophy to each senior athlete and cheerleader. Good natured bantering between the coaches as they announced their awards spiced the banquet with the air of cooperation and closeness that remains a tradition at Covington High School. 23 Jerry Griswold and Barbara Coffing were named Covington’s Romeo and Juli and reigned over the 1970 Prom. Steve Gross sang the love theme from Rom and Juliet in their honor. Donna Cooper accompanied him. Compliments of HEGG FUNERAL HOME Last year’s royally Patli Jones and Dave Bardos led Ruth Ann Brakeley and Gary Ellmore and the other lovely couples in the Grand March. Then young lovers like Alan and Becky took the flour again. Things certainly did change from the afternoon of May 15, when Lou Ann Nichols was adjusting decorations, to that night, which found her assisting Mr. Wer-remeyer with the Grand March. Luxuriant in hues of scarlet, the multipurpose room made a lovely setting for Romeo and Juliet, the 1970 Jr.-Sr. Prom. This candlelit evening brought with it dining and dancing splendor befitting a night dedicated to young love. Whether refreshing at the punch fountain like Rich and Muff, dancing, or admiring Barbara and Jerry, everyone wished it would never end. The difference between the Prom and the After-Prom was like night and day. Couples traded in their dancing shoes for cowboy boots and the Wild West festivities provided by the Cofienians. There was dancing, sketching, playing and relaxing for Lou Ann and Tom, Susie and Lonnie, Walter, and Leajean and Sharon until Saturday morning. Then the Indy 500 time trials lured some—the rest just went home to bed and very pleasant dreams. Compliments of CARO COTTAGE 25 Baccalaureate and Commencement, May 24, 1970, filled with joy and contemplation, will be remembered by the graduating Seniors for the traditions that were reenacted and the innovations injected by the Class of 1970. The annual newness of nervously trying to march in step with someone on the opposite side of the gym, smiling last moments spent in preparation for the festivities, and flapping programs serving as fans in the sweltering heat of a late spring afternoon and evening gathering in the gym prefaced the moment when each outstretched hand found a freshly signed diploma waiting to be seized. Curtis Hurley and Debbie Fogle led the class in prayer and Jerry Griswold read the Scripture before Mr. Fogle, minister of the First Church of Christ, delivered the Baccalaureate sermon. 26 The Seniors stood together for the last time as a CHS class as they were presented to Mr. Hol-stine by Mr. May-mon for reception of their diplomas. A stirring address by Dr. Harmon Baldwin of IAPSS was enclosed by Kurt Conklin’s invocation and Marcia Omahen’s benediction. With “They Can Who Think They Can” as their motto, the Class of ’70 bid a fond farewell to the familiarity of CHS and set new courses for their lives. 27 One last number as a CHS chorister, final remarks These Fond, Farewell, and Final Moments by Valedictorian Bonnie Glover and Kurt Conklin, an aspiring look to the future. Make Precious, Priceless Memories the last formal sitting for a yearbook picture, and the 1970 CHS party was over. 28 ACADEMICS 3 S£8 iIia3£3M |gg$ 3£ H1 L ■ 1 U-' T t i-•'i f -- ftf SlJiLls: rpgsgp New School New Superintendent New Principal M$£ y v r- . yy.-tyyy.lwt.il y- T-wyr-yyyyyyy-yyyiyr-y-t 33 $}5:«3S3SK3£ ’t1?TT:lTlTltv'T'-v-'l ':'' Tt'WrtTfy tty-l yl T4-) rnty y-7 ■ •� y wr- t« t« 'HrH -w 441 _: -v -aWtiy f-ii tLiirJ r4 y yyr-niiy H TM� yyyyv-it i-i -y-uy- ii Wyt -r,-l -= y-fl-t-H W wy y.-J_y y Tirf-a. gsts ggSaaafe: 55SS: 4S?;; P3Ip8SiH53 0Mmm -TrUlyy -J. y-y-yjt a . ■ Irm+ih T+TUi-iTl- , t r i.. : V , l H-p ■, t- T J -.y y rtyv -W t -!1 i-lrWI■� -■� •,� ? � . yy y yy vityB -1 t- i C.-.itV- Hi jrx-a- .-Sy --i 4 y ® y-.-y---.ir -.-y-r-n m., y£yyy J|... ■ ? nn-B-3.iMir.iK ylWlMI -it-.-, .-v-.T.-a-.,, r -K. |Lun. t Ur-ilTVT1 ft v Rl 4 y yy-ly 3 y - •-.M. 5-y tHiyy-yyy-y i-ii y I y-i Ttyy y Lyyy tt Two new faces that became familiar and friendly at Covington High School belong to Superintendent William Holstine (left) and Principal Irvin Maymon (above).

Ihis was the general consensus of all the football players this season as they tried hard to capture a conference trophy. Working alongside the boys and guiding them along the way was Coach Jack Hunter. Helping Coach Hunter in the field strategy were assistant coaches Delmar Hobaugh, Dwayne Rater, and Dick Ashton. The tough Trojans pounced on Ladoga and Rockville to open up their winning season. With a season record of 64 and an outstanding conference record of 6-2, the Trojans gained a solid third place in the Wabash River Conference. Co-captains last season were Jerry Griswold and Jim Boger. Special awards went to Dan Whitaker as the Most Valuable Player and to Jerry Griswold and Dan Whitaker for the Most Tackles. Tim Whitaker accepted the coveted Most Improved B-Team Player Award.

The Covington B-team, our Varsity of the future, managed to post a fantastic season’s record of 3-3-1. What made this so fantastic? Because the majority of our B-team was composed of freshmen, pitted against sophomore and junior opponents! Coached ably by Dwayne Rater and Dick Ashton, the B’s were full of determination, stamina and enthusiasm, as shown by this remarkable .500 season.

For the second consecutive year our Tiny Trojan Team consisting of seventh and eighth graders, conquered all other football teams their age around, vltogether fifty-two young and enthusiastic boys came out to help build our team of the future. These boys were divided into two teams, an A-team consisting mainly of eighth graders and a B-team having mainly seventh graders. After many long hours of hard work and sweat these boys victoried over all their opponents except one which ended in a tie game. Ihese games were against Coal Creek, New Market, two games with Seeger, and two games with Attica, one of which was a tie. The reserve team also went undefeated in three games. Many thanks should be given to the men who volunteered their spare time to coach these boys. 1 hey are Vince Grogg, Jim Bunch, Don Ford, and Bob Honnold.

With almost mundane regularity the WDAN Radio “Star of the Game” award was awarded to a Trojan. Opponents could not cope with the cool and methodical Pettit, the defensively dynamic Ricketts, the rebound reaping Lance, the deftly surehanded Orr, and the inside-outside thread of Ludlow. What a year! 59 Head Coach Rater casts a gaze of satisfaction on his starters and seniors. Co-Captain Tim Pettit looks just like this to his defender before he pops one over his reach.

Though often outgrown, the B-Team Trojans were never outclassed. Led by Sophomore Dave Allen in assists and scoring and Freshman Greg Kiger in rebounds and total team value, the reserve Trojans generated a fervent following with their aggressive style of play. Their CHS futures look bright. Every member of the Freshman basketball team got valuable game experience during the season. Coach Ashton and his charges worked hard and long putting the Finishing touches on basketball fundamentals. Victory was especially sweet for tbe Freshman Squad. Coach Bell’s Eighth Grade team put its superb conditioning to good use as it finished the season with 8 victories and 8 losses.

G.A.A. Spells Fun and More Fun If you were a visitor to the school and were touring it after school hours, chances are you would be surprised at all the noise in the Multi-Purpose Room. This, of course, would be the G.A.A. having one of their play activities. And if you came at the right time of the year, you could see their basketball team practicing with super-star 5T1” Patti Sanderson dribbling down for two more points or being assisted by Freshman Denita Cadman and Darcy Kokotkiewiez. Then there was one night that they stayed and had activities all night after eating at the Ponderosa Steak House and bowling at the local bowling alley which they paid for with the annual candy sale profits.

The endurance runs, sprints, and hill circuits that toughened schoolboys into athletes paid dividends of team victories and individual accomplishments. Despite foul weather and rough terrain, the Cross Country Trojans upheld their reputation as fierce competitors, throughout the season the depth of the squad, complementing Richard Beilis’ consistently high finishes, carried the harriers to their best season in history. In an inspired effort the Trojans missed capturing the Bi-County Trophy by a single point! Undaunted by this and other narrow margin losses, the team compiled a winning point average of 30 per meet, compared to the average opponent’s score of 38. In 1909. only their third season of varsity cross country competition, the Go-Go Trojans had established themselves as a conference threat with a late season victory over defending champion Fountain Central. Even though the Trojans were not able to dethrone the Mustangs at the Conference Meet, Covington’s fourth place finish accumulated more Cross Country points toward the All-Sports Trophy than CHS Harriers had ever achieved. The agony of the practice sessions and the ecstasy of the meet victories had scarcely been whistled to rest by Coach Ailes before anticipation of an even more illustrious season in 1970 was born. The fact that Richard Beilis is the only letterman lost makes the future of the Go-Go Trojans appear rosy. lop: Coach Ailes, Randy Gntten, Dave Starkey, Rick Rahm. Alan Greenburg, Mike Etchison.

Mr. Cross Country at Covington High School in 1969-70 was Richard Beilis. Dick scored a perfect “1 for the season on the team value index by leading the Trojans to the finish line in every meet. This secured for him the Most Valuable Runner Award. In addition, his teammates overwhelmingly selected Beilis to serve as team Captain. Having set the school record of 10:51 for two miles in 1968. Richard systematically lowered the record to 10:24 during the 1969 season. His achievements were noted by several colleges. Senior Beilis plans to compete intercollegiately at Harding College while he pursues a degree. Eight men won a “C” for representing CHS in area competition. Letters were won by Beilis, Glen Miller. Dave Mason. Alan Greenburg. Dave Starkey. Jeff Scoring. Randy Gritten. and Dave Allen. Jeff Scoring earned the Most Improved Runner Award for 1969-70.

Trophy be-conference Baseball Trojans Begin 1971 All Sports Quest Cheerleading is bruised knees, an aching body, and a head-full of thrilling memories. Cheerleaders know the agony of straining muscles and bursting blood vessels in fracture-defying jumps, splits, and falls. Time after school and on weekends to practice cheers and to make spirit signs had to be spent, but CHS spirit made even those tedious hours fly. Sure, cheerleaders make mistakes and embarrass themselves, but a ready smile turns every trial into a triumph. Our triumphs were many, from awards at cheerleading camp to sharing the successes of our teams.

Even with the work and worry of trying to get ready for all the games, the excitement and pride that surrounds cheerleading never fades.

To pay for it, the members were turned loose on the unsuspecting students to sell the good old gray T-shirts that everyone had been wanting so badly. Among the major accomplishments of the year was the buying of corsages for our out-of-sight cheerleaders. To top the years activities off, they attended the annual All-Sports Banquet sponsored by (he Pep Club. All of the lettermen wish to extend their thanks to Mr. Hunter for his leadership and guidance throughout the year. Sponsored by SAM STARKEY ACTIVITIES Drudgery + Delight = 1970 Trojan Co-Editors Curtis Hurley and Patti Sanderson seem to be enjoying their lofty perch, probably meditating on how easy it is to make a yearbook. The weight of a tight schedule and the good-natured wrath of teachers whose classes he has interrupted sober Mr. Ailes for awbile. The yearbook stall barely survived the year despite deadlines, dead-tiredness, and deadwood. That the ordeal was a grueling one was evidenced by the baggy eyes and undernourished look of the staff. However, it did accomplish its task of putting together a reasonably acceptable yearbook—we hope that you wholeheartedly agree. Whoever thought that a new school building would bring with it the solutions to the staffs problems was woefully mistaken. The darkroom had absolutely no equipment, typewriters were in short supply, and the yearbook room had to be an A-V storage room. The yearbook staff didn't end up unscathed, nor did Mr. Ailes. Now every time he reads anything, he whisks through it with his blue pencil. He almost lost his sanity, loo, by the end of ad-selling time—but his clean living brought him through. So it was after all these trials that every staff member was heard to hoarsely murmur as the final deadline was met: “Hallelujah.' First Row: Carla Miller, Dawn Allen, Cheryl Ford. Patti Etchison.

The paper is printed by the LePage Printing Co. and consists of photographs and offset printing. The editors, Jeri Warner and Marcia Omahen, attended the High School Journalism Institute at Indiana University, which was a two week course this past summer. The instituters were taught the fundamentals of journalism as well as the basics of editing and advertising. fhe paper provides good journalistic experience in the newspaper field but involves much hard work. The staff consists of approximately 30 members, of which 20 are reporters, and the remaining ten are artists and assistant editors. The paper supports itself by the profit from a monthly dance it sponsors. The paper is distributed free to the Jr.—Sr. High School students, faculty, and school hoard. The overall effect of the “Trojan” is one to be proud of.

First, with their new sponsor, Mr. Branham, at the helm, they masterfully conducted the Homecoming activities. Next, following the useful advice of Kurt Conklin and Skip Epperson, the two members who attended this year’s Student Council Institute at Indiana University, they studied the organizational problems of our school. The members issued a dance schedule, a first at CHS, and also re-evaluated all the organizations’ constitutions, including that of the Council. The Student Council this year sincerely tried to put forth a greater effort on mending school problems. They believe they have succeeded to a greater degree than ever before.

Two greatly appreciated musical groups, Swing Band and Concert Choir, brought the kind of polished performances to the CHS stage that makes their presence a valued tradition. Under the direction of Mr. Werremeyer and Mrs. Hicks, these two groups master music from one long haired extreme to the other. From these groups come the soloists and ensembles that annually win regional and state recognition for the music department. Sampling selections from Bach to the Beatles, the Concert Choir provided a dynamic dimension to CHS listening delight.

Not onl was the building strange to them, but so were the faces. They will be the first class to complete a Junior and Senior High education in ibis building. Since this was their first opportunity to compete in Homecoming festivities, the seventh grade used their imaginative thinking and creative skills to design and decorate their Homecoming entry. They also got their first taste of competitive sports. After a victorious season of football these eager and willing seventh graders formed a basketball team which was backed by all. The season was successful for these boys who strove to be mighty, mighty TROJANS!! The team was backed in this victorious season with the help of the pep block, where so often was heard the chant of -I-C-T-O-R-Y!” fhe team could not have been so successful without the help of the pep block. Also, a great deal of thanks goes to everyone who helped provide our new school. All of the high school at CHS wishes the seventh grade the best of luck in their future years. This first year points toward success for them.

There Mrs. Bell set in motion the materials and environment that make her class one of the most interesting at CHS. More here than anywhere else in our school does the spirit of the one room school house remain. Art. English. French, mathematics, history, and health are all palatably presented to this unique assortment of students. From their morning greetings to their parting goodbyes, the students occupy their time in learning experiences. Sometimes they even forget to check the clock, but Mrs. Bell moves them punctually from lesson to lesson and out of her room to take their turns at music, shop, and, of course, lunch. And through it all runs a thread of fun. With Mrs. Bell Special Education is special. Intensely interested students profit from group work led by Mrs. Bell.

It is our sincere hope that these memories have been recorded sufficiently to warrant numerous perusals in the years to come. We feel that a yearbook should be a memory book, a record of school history, and a reference book, all rolled together. We hope that we have fulfilled this responsibility by setting down on paper not only the highlights and key events of the year, but also the day-to-day routine and the fads and fetishes that make school life tolerable. In addition, we would like to express thanks to those people who have made our job as co-editors less difficult. You know who you are.
