We come in all sizes, shapes, and colors and from all different places. From the spotlight and glamour of the Homecoming Queen on the night of her crowning to the solitude and shyness of a quiet girl studying in the back of a boisterous classroom. We all have separate goals in life and different methods of trying to achieve those goals. Some of us will succeed, some of us will not. But for a time we will all combine to form one body here in our own place. A place of work, craziness, and competition. A place to just be “Us.” 2 Where it all begins . .. where we all happen.

Jodi, Donna, or Dawn! 3 4 � Old Blue Jeans They Just Fade Keeping up with the styles is a must for some students. Owning the latest fashions such as designer jeans, cowboy boots, and Izod shirts are their marks of distinction. The Rubik cube made a big hit with students at CHS. They graduated to the Never Die, and F ade pyramid and chain puzzles. Then there are other students who enjoyed larger mechanical gadgets, like car equipment and electronically enhanced sound systems. 5 Our Chosen Few The Senior Class of 1982 consists of approximately 120 individuals, each one different and all having different interests. Each of us is special in our own way and, inevitably, a few are more special than others. Here is a list that we put together of just a few of those “Special People.” Most artistic were Janeen Ping and Dean Perkins. Ann Martin and Tony Wallerich were definitely our class clowns. 6 7 Lori Woodrow and Kent Davis were chosen as most academic and most likely to succeed. Laziest was Elmer Ricketts. The best couple was Greg Mulcahey and Jonni Marron. Aren’t they sweet? Randy Smith was voted worst driver! 8 Most trustworthy were Brad Jones and Amy Glover. Biggest brown-nosers were Jodi Campbell and Kent Suiters.

Being an athlete is a source of pride, but owning the golden C is the greatest prize of all. Pep sessions have always added spirit to the Trojan scene, especially when trophies are presented. The Seniors covet THEIR HALL, where everyone gathers for lunch hour visits, studying, or just goofing around. Another Senior privilege is initiating incoming freshmen in the water fountains. Curt Keeling and Ray Wichus show off their letter jackets. Being a Senior gives them the right to “help” this Freshman to a seat in the drinking fountain. 10 We May Have Lost the Game But We Won the Half-Time The team might have trailed behind when the clock ran out at the half, but the traditional Troian spirit ran high through the home crowd. The proud marching Trojans strutted across the field as the bright Black and Gold floats paraded around the track. The long hours of working and waiting finally Eaid oif for the talented lass of 82 as they celebrated their final homecoming by winning the float honors for the second time. The Varsity cheerleaders kept up the spirit during the parade with their many chants and yells. F.H.A. again turned out an exceptionally good entry. B-team cheerleaders cheered with the varsity. The experience and natural talent of the Senior Class captured the winning float title with an outstanding Black and Gold replica of Tony the Tiger. 12 Top Left: The ever-popular muppets made a special appearance for the junior float.

Though each candidate and attendant should feel privileged to be elected by her classmates, only one can know the real excitement and satisfaction of being chosen to reign over the homecoming festivities.

A shoulder to cry on, An ear to bend, Money to borrow, Clothes to lend, Friday night movies, Afternoon walks, Being together, Our private talks. Mending our hearts, Crying those tears. Planning our futures, Voicing our fears. Our memories together, May they never end. Always together, “Forever Friends.” Melinda Boiler, Brenda Summers, Sharon Verden, Laura Clem clowning around at homecoming. Close friends Tammy Swingle and Amy Ohl display their winning smiles. Fame Has a Cost... and Here Is Where You Pay the Price Senior Band members with all awards they received. Pep Band This year’s band will be one that many people will not forget. This was the year that Mr. Milach had waited seven years for. All of the other bands to come out of CHS had had a leader besides Mr. Milach, but this year was different. The Seniors in this group started out with this leader. This was indeed an ALL-MILACH BAND. The band started out in August with the annual, and always fun, summer band. The band practiced hard and was finally ready for their season to begin. The marching band roared through half-times and parades with a series of stunning performances. After the band hung up their spats, it was time to roll out the symphonic music. The stage band performed at Greencastle in State Competition. The hours of extra rehearsals paid off as they brought home a first. Now all attention was set on stage symphonic band contest. But this year they were slated against some slightly larger schools. The tooting Trojans invaded Terri Haute and left with the best scores at the contest and in Covington’s history. All this led up to a dramatic conclusion, Spring Show. This would be the last performance for the Seniors. They went out with style by performing one the most entertaining and most touching shows in recent memory. This was the first of hopefully many ALL-MILACH BANDS to come out of CHS. 19 SING ... Sing a Song Coach Metz giving some last minute instructions. Concert Choir Mixed Chorus 20 Sing Out Loud Chorus Officers: Dawn Orahood, V-Pres., Gwen Elliott, Pres., Starla Vollmer, Sec. Sing Out Strong Junior-Senior Girls Ensemble The 1981-82 school year held many exciting activities for the Choral Department. The constant rehearsal for Christmas and Easter Concert, Spring Show, Commencement, and Solo Ensemble contest never left a key unplayed throughout the entire year. If one ever thought the everyday practicing was in vain, they eventually learned different. This is because each performance turned out to be on pitch, in tune, and in perfect harmony! Freshman-Sophomore Girls Chorus Accompanist — Laura Clem 21 • • • CHS Art Dept. Presents Workshops late Wednesday and Thursday nights miraculously transformed the multi-purpose room into a magical game room, bursting with colorful creations, centered around a maze of thirteen amazing senior exhibits. Mrs. Hunter, the Art Club officers, and committee heads worked endlessly to plan a successful show. This year, a new committee for Fabric Frames was introduced and proved to be extremely popular. The show included such things as oil portraits, ceramic pieces, leather projects, pencil sketches, a blacklight room, and many other handcrafts. Sharon Verden wins the Best of Show Award presented by Tri-Kappa. Art Show Winners Dean Perkins, Sharon Verden, Doug Hunter, and Janet Evans with Mrs. Hunter (center), sponsor. Winner of the Best Senior Exhibit, Dean Perkins, is surrounded by his excellent work. Middle School students also contributed to the Art Show. Dean Perkin’s ceramic bass was one of the show-stoppers.

Community workers, despite the inflation, sing about Livin’ On Love. The 1982 Spring Show “Night of Nights,” was one to be well remembered for years to come. The show displayed many talents that ranged from an anvil solo from the New York Symphony, to a Vaudeville act straight from the streets of Covington. The performance touched upon things for the young and old alike. The ever popular Mickey Mouse, Pink Panther, and Muppets kept the attention of the young as well as the young at heart. The time, dedication, and preparation was well worth the work put into it. The show had its highlights and upsets (as your Master of Ceremonies so brilliantly portrayed), but to all involved as well as the visiting spectators it was truly a “Night of Nights!” Ann Martin performs her rendition of Barbara Our two favorite little girls Ann Grubb and Ann Martin, return again to Streisand’s “Evergreen.” tell us about being “Together.” A dozen pink panthers pranced their way into the hearts of the audience. 25 Spirit Crazy, colorful sombreros and pilot caps decorated the student body as they each portrayed their exciting feelings of the weekend’s basketball sectional. Crepe paper, talking walls!?, nursery rhymes, and flashy posters transformed the ordinary locker lined halls into bright black and gold tunnels on that first week of March. Sweatsuit clad figures pattered around in leather converse and modern fashion faded into Fifties style. Funny freckles, sprouting pigtails, mom’s formal, chain gangs, and suits and ties were amazingly popular that week. Graffiti covered t-shirts temporarily meant autograph day. Pep session meant ear piercing cheers and unforgettable skits. (How could we forget Shozet “chowing down?”) “What was it?”, you ask. “a three ringed circus?, a hallo-ween parade??, a tropical epidemic that EVEN affects teachers?” No! It was just spirit...

Students are given an incentive to strive for good grades and set goals for themselves. After earning the honor jacket, a bar is awarded each semester that a student makes his grades. Out of four solid subjects, he must have at least three A’s and nothing lower than a B. First Time Jacket Winners: Tracy Reed, Brenda Wallerich, Amy Ohl, Trisha McKinney, Debbie Hegg, Jerry Askren and Lori Kammin, Jeff Davis, Kim Perry, Tammy Swingle, Annisa Rainey, Tim Duncan, Gary Hawkins, Mike Clem, Mark Woodrow, Jim Coffing, Lesa Story, Mark Lloyd, Chris Ephlin, Melanie Furgason, Robert Verhoven, Matt Swingle, Ray Wichus, Tony Wallerich, Brad Jones, Scott Stanton, Shelly Lappin, Shozet Keller, Kathy Shuman, Laura Clem, Angela Etheridge, Gwen Elliott, Brenda Summers, Mary Swaney, Tin Gouty, Penny Leak.

Seniors who received their jackets for the first time. All of the first time Freshmen and Sophomore jacket winners combined for a group picture. 31 Graduation ... This Is It 1982 .. . Graduation ... It always sounded so far away and impossible. But now, our commencement exercises have brought a tearful ending to twelve long years of growing and learning together. Each of us became a very important part of a family — the class of ’82. We struggled together through growing pains both academically and socially. We built friendships, relationships and made our own place in the social structure of CHS. We have conquered our problems and have gained a precious possession called experience. We somehow beat the odds, people, and emotions. As we look ahead, the path seems more twisted than before. New experiences and problems arise at every turn, but we will look ahead with assurance. Now we have the help of time past... Valedictorian — Lori Woodrow Mr. Lawrence McKinney delivered an inspiring message to the graduates.

Who would have thought that after graduating numerous seniors last season, and most of them starters, that this season would be as successful a year as it was. Although the Trojans only compiled a 3-7 record, the raging Black and Gold Defense would wreak havoc among helpless opponents the entire year. Left: Glenn always gets his man!

Returning letterman Kent Suiters, who also shared Co-Captain awards with Lance Wonderlin, captured the MVP Award, while junior Troy Alexander accepted the Ray Derringer Tennis Award. The Trojans traveled to the sectional and won their first match by defeating Central Catholic 3-2. Finally, the Trojans fell to Mc-Cutcheon in the 2nd round 5-love.

After losing six seniors, a Most Valuable Player, and a Head Coach, this year’s boys basketball program was obviously in need of help. By the mid-point of the season, the Trojans were down to a crew of five juniors and four sophomores. Although the score at the end of the game was not very satisfying, the experience these young Trojans gained was tremendous. These guys had heart. We had a lot of bad breaks and we lost some close ball games. But after every game you could hear the Senior opponents saying that they were glad they didn’t have to play us next year. They better be glad. TROJANS DON’T GET MAD ... TROJANS GET EVEN!!! Tom Allen skying against the cross country ‘rivals.’ Brad Wright shows some dancing ability Coach Watt seems a little bit concerned!

B-Team Ready for Varsity Frosh Get Taste of High School Ball Coaching a Freshman basketball team has got to be one of the most challenging jobs in the world. The Freshmen have a big adjustment to make. These guys are used to being the jocks of the world in the Middle School and now they have been made the low-life scum of the eartb by entering High School. Enter Coach Torgersen. Year in and year out, this fun-loving guy has taken these terrified tots and made them into respectable High School Players. This year was no exception. Many Freshmen saw enormous B-Team playing time. The rest of the players endured the transformation with amazing coolness and enjoyed a successful Freshman year.

The Point: Coach “T.” A B-Team Basketball coach’s success cannot be determined by a Win-Loss record. After all, the main objective of a coach is to prepare his members for Varsity Ball. Coach Stampini did just this. In fact, by the end of the year, three of his “students” had graduated to Varsity ball. Mark Woodrow was named MVP and one of the highlights of the season came in a dramatic come from behind victory over Crawfordsville. B-Team Players: Bottom: Jeff Snoddy, Todd Pierson, Mary Woodrow.

This superb squad brought home practically every honor that was up for grabs. Hours of strenuous work, dedication, and desire finally paid off. These Lady Trojans gave our community something to be proud of. The Victorious Varsity elated all followers when they brought home the Bi-County and WRC trophies. Co-captains Amy Glover and Brenda Summers and sophomore Alisa Ellis were selected to the allconference team. All-Star and MVP sensation Brenda Summers led the squad to a sectional victory against perennial champions Benton Central. The Trojans advanced to the North Montgomery Regional but were narrowly defeated by Twin Lakes with a score of 44-45. Many honors were passed out during the season. Amy was named to the academic All-State, Honorable mention team. Brenda Summers was selected to the Indiana All Stars. The 1981-1982 Lady Trojans were the pride of the community and C.H.S. On or off the court these Trojans represented our school with class and style. The Lady Trojans will always be remembered as the greatest ever!

The many hours spent on the court paid off as Brenda was one of 35 picked to attend the try-outs for the All-Star team at Indiana Central University. The announcement came a few days later that she had made the team and was a con-tender for the prestigious position of Miss Basketball. Even though she didn’t get Miss Basketball, she still has something to be very proud of. The pride she has had in her work and her desire to be the best she could be helped her to have 4 successful years as a lady Trojan. She has represented this community very well in girls athletics and her name will always be remembered at C.H.S. 1000 52 Kevin Cates concentrates on the ball. Golf “Fore” a Victory This year’s golf team finished the season with a record of 3-11. They placed 3rd in the conference, which is the best Covington has ever done.

Although Mr. Meyerholtz was stuck with four freshmen and four sophomores, he managed to have another successful season. Their record was 3-6 but individual performances looked very promising for next year. Team captains, Ray Wichus, Greg Edwards and Brad Kent worked the young team very hard. Ray Wichus was voted most valuable wrestler and he also won the conference. Brad Kent placed in all tournaments he wrestled in. Pete Grogg was voted as most improved wrestler for the squad.

They are crowed pleasers. But to the avid observer, the excited crowd, and our own pep block, they’re exactly what the word says. Leaders! They, with their sponsor, Judy Reed, spent evenings after school painting signs, planning pep sessions, selling donuts, practicing, and preparing for a strenuous week at camp, where they won the coveted spirit stick. They knew how to get a crowd excited, and how to hush the “Boo’s,” and to smile when the team was trailing on the scoreboard. Even if their muscles ached and their voices gave out, they kept going. Our cheerleaders weren’t just a side show, they were an important part of our team.

If you ever attended a 1981-82 Trojan basketball game, chances are you can still hear those words echoing in your ears. Those were the words of the mighty black and gold pep club’s favorite cheer, and they proclaimed them boldly at bleacher shaking volumes at every game. Covington’s pep block has always been considered outstanding by not only the Trojan community, but complimented by surrounding areas and visitors as well. This year’s team record gave them a true test of their spirit, but they upheld their reputation with traditional Trojan Pride. Whether it was shown through cheers, chants, or tears, it was there and definitely noticed. They certainly added to the game and backed the team 100%. They’re a great group of girls and we’re proud!

The highlight of the evening was the crowning of Penny Leak and Eric VanVactor by the Junior class officers. 101 Penny and Eric share a special moment in their royal dance. The Class of 1982 Presents ... “The Perils of Lulu” The Senior Class play, a comedy called the Perils of Lulu, turned out to be a smashing success. The play centers around a young woman, Lulu Barnes, who has many difficulties trying to deliver a simple basket of food to her grandmother. Some of the more exciting difficulties included being kidnapped by Thing Thong, termites, and a female Russian spy. After fighting off continued encounters with her assailants, Lulu exchanges the very long awaited vows with her dejected fiance. Leslie Reed as Lulu Barnes and Brad Jones as Lance Hepplewhite exchange their long awaited vows. Above: Ouch!! Left: It looks as if the passengers are confused.

Lou Ann Wicker held the lead role as Norma Cousin, a glamorous Hollywood producer, who was obsessed with the idea of spending one night in a haunted hotel. Sharlene Callahan played the supporting role of Ginny, Norma’s assistant producer. Dan Ives also played a supporting role as Tom Wilson, a young serviceman who gets caught up in the middle of everything. The play was even more interesting when Tony Coleman completely forgot his line and turned around and shot himself.

Bus Drivers were responsible for transporting students to and from school each day and taking students to various activities. Custodians spent many hours making repairs around school, keeping the grounds in good condition, and making sure the school was clean and neat at all times.

I hope that as you look through this book you will be able to relive some of those special moments. Christy and I decided that we wanted to have a title that everyone could relate to. And what is better than being open and personal than US. First it started with an idea, then a theme and now a reality in hard back. First of all I would like to thank the true staff members who devoted their time and effort in making US a reality. I would also like to give a special thanks to Mrs. Lincoln, our advisor, for without her this book would have never met our deadline. Sharon Verden 128 A part of me died today. I laid that part softly to rest between the pages of a memory book and echoing in an empty hallway. A tiny bit, I preserved carefully in pictures, and bound together to create this book. A lifetime lived in four short years — one filled with class plays, parties, proms, and pep block, classmates, lunchrooms, laughter, and the silently kept secrets of a close friend. This life experienced the thrill of victory in a gymnasium; accomplishment, on a stage; and tearful sadness at commencement. Though the years passed swiftly, there was time to learn so much, not only in a classroom, but in the miraculous metamorphosis of a clammy clump of ceramic clay, or in the eyes of an outcast student. A part of me died today, but my high school memories will live forever.
