D. W. Smith, veteran trustee of all funds collected for our school, is de- serving of special recognition. At the age of 88 he is still serving as secretary of our joint school board. He frequently visits our school and adds smiles to our teachers' faces as he passes to them their deserving checks. He always ap- pears at the Junior-Senior Banquet and his remarks are gladly received. The Class of ,49 takes this opportunity to thank him for helping to make Cove High possible, and for his untiring efforts in its continuous operation.

Before his Work was accomplished, God called him suddenly, the fatal accident occuring Within sight of the school he founded and loved. The people Whom he served, did not Want his body cremated. Instead, suggested and requested that he be buried on the school grounds. There, at his grave is a marker, the top and base of which are of the same kind of stone as the original brownstone building, This hallowed spot is surrounded by an iron fence. Edward E.

ur nstruotors In 1916, the Brownstone Building, located on the hilltop, South of Martinsburg was purchased by Edward E. Byers, to be used as a Vocational High School and College. After years of toil and unselfish labor, the dream became a reality-October 1919, Cove High opened its first year with Edward E. Byers, director, Rose Byers, Music, S. Madge Reed, English, F. F. Linin- ger, Agriculture, and Edna Davis, Home Economics. Eighty-three joyful, hardworking students attended the school that year. , Some of the first teachers were D. L. Shaffer, W. M. Bechtel, and I. Harvey Kagarise. These three teachers were still teaching when we, the class of '49, entered four years ago. Many of the past teachers are known by our class. is Those Who Have Served on the Faculty Are: Edward E. Byers I. Madge Reed C. A. Byers Lillian Buckingham D. L. Shaffer Sarah Crissman W. lVl.
