As the world's problems became more intense, our students felt a stronger need to understand our own and other societies. With Mr. Steve Meyerholtz as instructor, Covington High School offered courses such as Economics and Government to help understand the way our system works. Others journeyed back in time to get an overview of our country and the world in U.S. History and World History classes. Students learned about the group behavior of many societies in Mr. Gregg Grant's Sociology class, and studied human behavior in Psychology. Mr. Don Stampini helped us get in touch with our planet in World Geography. There is a major trend by our generation to choose careers in the Business field. This year, many students, instructed by Mr. Herb King, chose to get a head start on their careers by enrolling with classes like Accounting, Record-Keeping, Introduction to Business, Business Law, and Record Management and Filing. Others just wanted to learn to type, and took Mrs. Nancy Thomson's class to help improve their computer skills or get ready for college. All Seniors have a healthy respect for Mr. Meyerholtz's economics class as Senior Keith High displays here. Senior Tracy Holmes studies in Mr. King's Business Law class in preparation for a career in the law field. junior Jami Hendrickson shows her skill at one of the machines in the business department. 18 Academics
