% 3 1986 FLASHBACK VOLUME 42 COVINGTON HIGH SCHOOL COVINGTON, INDIANA STUDENT LIFE 5 ACADEMICS 21 ORGANIZATIONS 31 SPORTS 45 2 - What’s New? What’s new at Covington you ask? Every year there are new things such as cheerleaders, class officers, student council, homecoming queen and football captains. The 1986 school year was made unique because of all the new faculty and administration that arrived. The students received five new teachers, a new principal, athletic director, and a counselor. Some of the new rules at Covington restricted our traditions and activities. Some of the changes were welcomed while others were greatly disliked. With all of these new people and things, the yearbook staff has tried to capture these changes and put them in the yearbook. What’s new at Covington you ask? Read on and find out! BELOW: Junior Lynn Pearman expresses herself in chorus class Senior Jill Fulton enjoying her reign as 1986 Homecoming Queen 4 Student Life The explosion of the space shuttle, starvation in Africa, and the crisis in South America are all new tragedies that are in our minds. There were many new adjustments students had to make this year. With all the new administration and teachers, some of those adjustments weren’t made easily. In admist to it all though, the students at C.H.S. still have smiles on their faces. Friendship is not a new word at C.H.S., but it is a word that describes it all; Friendship is what keeps us smiling. 6 7 Student Council A new activity sponsored by the Student Council this year was the February blood drive. With the slogan “save a life”, 26 donors participated. Other activities include the homecoming parade which they organized, the homecoming half-time ceremonies, and the homecoming dance with which they raised $200. A fund raising car wash is planned. Some proceeds may be used to purchase National Honor Society ribbons for graduation. The council plans to be more active next year.

Each student studies and covers all the aspects of marriage. After the students observe and listen to resource people, the students plan a wedding and reception which they conduct at the Assembly of God. Each student helps in preparing the invitations, programs, the selection of music, decoration of the cake, punch and mints. Students also prepare the corsages and boutonnieres. The preparation of the ceremony is also a class effort. The Mock Wedding requires nothing more than research, cooperation and talented Covington students.

Their effort and imagination are much needed and appreciated to make Spirit Week run smoothly. This year Spirit Week included Hawaiian Day, Farmer Day, Kiddie Day, Twin Day and Black and Gold Day. Also, each class contributed by decorating halls. As these pictures show you, Spirit Week brought out the best and brightest at CHS. While Senior, Jill Fulton, gives us her little puppy dog eyes, Junior, Jane Ann Freese, gets a case of the little girl giggles and senior, Vickie Alexander, gets a little tight lipped about the whole situation on Kiddie Day. 18 In their identical threads, with some help from Garfield, Seniors, Julie Ketch and Angie It looks like Junior, Sherri Reynolds, a Kesner, bring out the best in friends on Twin Day. true down home country girl, has a secret admirer, Todd Cumbow, on Farmer Day.

The Covington Pep Club has undergone such a transformation. The Pep Club has gone from an organization with set rules and uniforms to an organization based on voluntary efforts to cheer at games and to support the Trojans. The parents are afraid that the kids are loosing interest in their team. But our seven trophies and the crowd shot PICTURED BELOW: The cheering crowd supported the Trojans at the 1986 sectionals at Fountain Central. pictured below prove that the Covington students are behind their teams all the way. The students are not forced to go to any games and cheer. When they come, it is of their own free will. They are there because they want to cheer and support their team. We seem to have a bigger crowd, and the students seem to enjoy themselves much more. Sometimes change is inevitable, but it is not always bad. INSERT: The seven trophies prove that the Trojans are a winning team. 33 FRONT ROW: Vickie Alexander, Amy Reed, Row 2: Trina Buck, Lisa Sites, Lynn Pearman, Paula Pridemore, Judith Nysenholc, Jane Ann Freese, Third Row: Mrs. Hunter, Jayne Ann Carter, Mary Kemp, David Ives, Michelle Richardson, Tammy Kelch.

Coach Terry Field was the sponsor, and he thinks they will become more active in the coming years. FCA met at members' houses, and held open-gym nights. Goals for the next year include having fund raisers, going to an Indiana Pacers game, 41 and holding more open-gyms for the students.

Chorus, like all forms of artistic expression, is a fun and learning experience. Students who participate with the hope of accomplishment develop new talents. Caren Stinger, the new director of chorus, has introduced a new program to the department. This program has already been put in full swing. The new program known as Swing Choir, is a step toward better educational skills. Only a selected group, from auditions, achieve this privilege. Of the skills required, singing and dancing are, of course, the most important. Students performing for Swing Choir must have self-discipline and a constant desire to improve. Students learn the responsibility of putting on a production, and the hard work and hours that go into it. Skills and opportunities such as these lead to a students personal development. Marching Trojans show their form at a football game. After seven years in the band program, senior Paula Pridemore trys to find another use for her french horn.

ADMINISTRATION — STAFF We began this year with more new faces in the offices than familiar ones. Places filled by new people were: Principal, Guidance Counselor, Athletic Director, and Cafeteria Manager.

This, after writing a story about myself, going through interviews, talking to the principal, and doing lots of other things. I took the opportunity and in May, the very same year, | got a letter from my host family (Allens) and they said I was to spend my next year in Covington, Indiana. I was very disappointed over my placement: I had hoped to come to states like California, Florida or New York and I did not even know where Indiana was. But, I got used to the thought and I am very glad I happened to be here now. This will probably be one of my most unforgetable years ever. It sure was a very good experience for me. What I really like with American High School is the fact that you make your own schedule. In Sweden we have about 12-15 classes a week, and at least 10 of them are required. The schedule is also different every day. I do wish I could use my grades I get on the report card here to attend college in Sweden. But this year does not count for me. It has been a very good experience, anyway. I ran Cross Country in the fall, and will never forget those “nightmare practices’’. I am glad I did it though. When the Cross Country season was over, I did not know what I should do. Finally, I decided to join wrestling. The problem though was that I didn’t know anything about this sport. I was about to quit, but I really changed my mind after my first match. I will never forget the great feeling to get that German pinned. (It simply shows that Sweden is better than Germany, right, Imke?) Now in the spring, I have just started up with track, which also is a new experience for me. I have tried many new things, and liked most of them. One big problem I have faced though was the fact that I couldn't drive here (or get my license taken). It didn’t make it easier when I lived twelve miles from the town. It worked out pretty good though, as I usually found somebody to ride with. I don't have any plans to move to the USA right now, even though I like the country. But I sure hope I will return some day for a visit at least. Finally there is another thing I was wondering about. Why doesn’t anybody in this school go over to Europe for a year? Mattias Klintemar RenlavsgSngen 95 13535 Ty resO — Sweden A New Life For Judith On August 22, 1985, I landed for the first time in the United States of America — a great word for the little European that I am. Even if I didn't quite dream of being in Indiana, it represented a big change in my life. Since that memorable date, I have been impressed by a lot of things here: huge cities next to a splendid countryside, and great people. Everytime I was asked what I thought of the U.S., I was answering: It's big! Of course, Belgium, being a third of the size of Indiana, is beyond comparison. So, progressively, I got used to this totally different way of living in Covington. I have learned a new life. And it is too bad I couldn’t manage to go to college here. I have gone through some hard moments, but, thanks to the help of the kindest persons, the only part of this year I will ever remember is all the fun times, the friendships, and the sharing of the experience. I have met so many interesting and nice people. I have accomplished a lot of new things in this too short year. I have enjoyed being in chorus very much, where playing the piano was a challenge for me. I have felt somewhat useful in the French class. I can't list all the things I have discovered, but, among them, I remember Homecoming, the whole football season (I still don’t understand the rules of the game very well!), the Sectional period ... I loved being in the Senior play. The atmosphere of a small school, where I got to know almost everybody, was also different for me. Even if this year didn’t count for me (since I had already graduated in Belgium), it's been such a special experience that I wasn’t lost in any way. This ten-month adventure has been so enriching for me that I want to thank you all, students and teachers. And, of course, I reserve a special thought to the Swingle and the Grubb families. I hope I’ll see you again, surely in Covington, maybe in Belgium, where you are all welcome if you travel somewhere in Europe — which I wish to all of you.

Not everybody has the possibility to visit another country and culture for one year (10 months) and it is really something special. Covington wasn’t the town I dreamed about, but my really nice family (the Auters) and all my friends made me forget that real quick and I’m already looking forward to coming back and visiting everybody. I’m not used to going to such a small school (my school has 1870 students), but I learned that it is an advantage for an exchange student. In a big school I would probably be totally lost and everything would be so unpersonal, but I could have played tennis, my favorite sport. Here, in a small school, I made a lot of friends and I probably learned a lot more about the real life in America, because at home (Germany) we only hear about the land of the million possibilities” through the news and movies. This year in Covington High School I played volleyball, which I really enjoyed because my home school hardly ever competes in games. Here I could play and I learned so much about this sport — not only how to bring the ball over the net. THANKS, Ann Stewart! I also was in the Track team, a sport I never participated in before I came over. It was kind of hard for me to learn all the new techniques in such a short time and I wasn’t very good, but at least I had a lot of fun. The sport I like most in America is football. We just have soccer in Germany and although it is our national sport, I think it is boring compared to football, where there is always some action even by running people over or starting fights. In the first few weeks in the new school year I was pretty confused with the whole school system. We go to school for thirteen years, every second Saturday (for four hours) and we don’t have the same classes everyday. We have the 14 required classes between two and four hours a week, third languages, other sports and Home Ec classes are voluntary. So our school program is much wider and harder, but we also learn much more. Thanks for making this year so special to me! Imke Synwoldt Feldbergstr. la 6242 Kronberg ITS. Federal Republic of Germany Senior Play ABOVE: Todd Gee, Amy Reed and Judith Nysenholc. The class of 1986 presented the play “Charey’s Aunt” on April 26th and 27th. Jack Chesney, violently in love with Kitty Verdun, and Charley, equally enamoured of Miss Spettigue, invite the young ladies to their rooms for luncheon in order to meet Charley’s wealthy aunt from Brazil. But alas, the aunt sends word that she will be a few days late. By forcing another Oxford student to dress up like the aunt the problem is solved. Then the real aunt shows up starting the comic confusion.

The Invocation was given by Amy Kammin, class Secretary Treasurer. The audience was then given a welcome by Suzanne Davis, Class President. The guest speaker, introduced by Keith Asbury, was former English teacher, Mrs. Joyce Craig. Valedictorian Rosie Clawson and Salutatorian Susan Evans also addressed the class. Mixed emotions were shown throughout the ceremony; the teary-eyed expressions of friends saying good-bye, and the exuberant smiles that said, We've made it!” Whatever emotion, all of the seniors suddenly realized that was the last time the Class of ’86 would be together as one. The motto, Remember the rewards of today, The promises of tomorrow, And never forget yesterday, The memories of our past,” reminded the seniors of the importance of school, where one builds his future. In Mrs. Craig’s address, seniors were told to use life to its fullest potential. The ceremony was ended by the presentation of diplomas, and the Benediction was given by Student Council Representative, Amy Reed. ABOVE LEFT: Donna Clauson's tearful smile expresses the mixed emotions felt. BELOW LEFT: Keith Asbury s final farewell was a controversial one.

During graduation, many tears, laughter, exhilaration, and fright was expressed. Underclassmen started to realize what was approaching, and the seniors tried to face the inevitable. Although this was all new to the students this year, it will all be replayed next year with new faces and feelings. No matter how many graduations take place at Covington in the years to come, the graduation of 1986 will hold invaluable memories to all who felt the exultation and sadness of the 1986 school year. 116 Covington Cable Covington Community Boosters Covington Shell Dr. Brenner Lindee’s Martin DDS Inc.
