Accent N on Covington High School

Page 11 text:

,n - . f Q Classes Require Concentration, Hard Work Linda Glenn 'mans' the projector as the girls in Mrs. White's physical education class carefully observe a film on health. Practically everything has some point of' major em- phasis: a word, a joke, a lesson or a game, and at Coving- ton High School there is a time and a place for each of these. Because a school is a combination of people, classes, sports and clubs, and each deserves its proper stress, there is a kaleidoscope of accents. When it is the time and place for classes, 'teachers ac- cent the art and skill of teaching. Simultaneously, stu- dents lend their minds and wills to concentrate on learn- ing. When the propitious time arrives, students happily shift the accent from study to sports. They troop merrily to athletic events to watch the team determinedly give its best on field or floor. Although fiercely partisan, both spectators and team members strive to keep in mind that in all athletic competition it is only a secondary accent that can be placed on winning. The primary accent must be placed on sportsmanship. With activities other than athletics, there comes yet another shift of emphasis. The organizations and the events they sponsor offer students' the opportunity for a more personal participation in school life. Although worthy projects are undertaken and useful knowledge is gained, in clubs the students exuber- antly place the accent on fun. Accents do shift-all the way from the serious to the frivolous, each of them becoming the major one in its own time and place, yet, one emphasis is always a prim- ary one: the ACCENT ON COVlNGTON HIGH SCHGOL. 7 With such a serious expression Sarah Bayne could well be a poster girl for American education.
