This is a picture of the same class of 1925 Covington graduates when
they
were younger. I think my Aunt Celia Knowlton is the one with
the braids.
They look like 5th or 6th grade. I think it is a cute picture.

118 attend 93rd annual Covington Alumni Banquet; 2008 coming up
By Diane Eaton
A total of 118 people attended the 93rd annual Covington Alumni Banquet,
held on Saturday, May 26 [2007], at 6:30 p.m. at the Covington Community
Center, the former Covington High School. Harland’s Family Style Catering
of Wellsboro catered the banquet. An alumni variety show, coordinated by
Mary Starks Pritchett, Class of 1967, was held. Those attending sang “America,”
“God Bless America,” and the school’s “Alma Mater.” Traveling the furthest
to attend the banquet was Betty Haverly Crowe of Newport News, Virginia,
Class of 1940, and Ed Marvin of San Antonio, Texas, Class of 1957.
The 93rd annual event was billed as the last Covington Alumni Banquet
that would ever be held due to lack of interest. During the business meeting,
held that night with outgoing president Martha Bastian presiding, those
attending decided to continue the banquet. Many volunteered to help Alumni
officers for 2004 through 2007 included: President Martha Bogaczyk Bastian,
Class of 1949; Vice President Sandy Higgins, Class of 1967; Secretary Janet
Higgins Zimmer, Class of 1959, and Treasurer, Marcile Smith Cleveland,
Class of 1949. Newly elected officers for the 2008 banquet include: President,
Johnny Berguson, Class of 1967; Vice President, Gerry Wilson, Class of
1961 and Secretary-Treasurer, June Teague and Susan Lisowski Strassburg,
both of the Class of 1964.
Covington High School was closed in 1957 and the elementary school in
1977. Students were then bused to North Penn High School in Blossburg,
which was part of the Southern Tioga School District. The last Covington
High School Principal was Glen Whittaker who died earlier this year, at
the age of 96.
The oldest living Covington High School alumnus is Claude Coons, Class
of 1928, who resides at Country Terrace in Charleston Township. Class of
1935 living members include: Harriet Higgins of Covington, who attended
the 2007 banquet, and Miriam Fessler Marvin who lives at Country Terrace.
Class of 1937 members include Betty Sumner of Covington and Bob Hall of
Downey, California.

eight girls and seven boys. Ten of those graduates attended the May 26th
banquet, including: Dorothy Wilson Chamberlain of Lawrenceville, Polly
