When the commemorative bell tower was finished at Covington High School and the dedication ceremonies were over, dozens of people, alumni, community leaders, young folks, and older folks all lined up to give a rope a tug. They wanted to take part in the ringing of the bell that was rescued from the disastrous 1970's fire. The bell ringing lasted nearly an hour, as people enjoyed memories of friends, classmates, and events across the decades at Covington's only high school.
