SOCIAL STUDIES MERGES PAST WITH PRESENT Covington High School offers a variety of courses in the field of s ' ocial studies to aid students in under- standing current events and the way in which past events have affected them. This year there has been a change in the social studies requirements for fresh- men: college-prep students must now take world his- tory instead of the previously required world geography. United States history remains a required course in the junior year and serves as a steppingstone for U.S. government in the senior year. In this class students parallel their comprehensive study of the Constitutions of the United States and the Commonwealth of Vir- ginia with the study of current events as chronicled in Senior Scholastic and other national magazines. Gov- ernment teachers have also emphasized the primary elections held in the various states and their signifi- cance insofar as the up-coming national elections are concerned. Thus, graduates will become better informed citizens with a positive enthusiasm for pol- itics. Teachers and papers seem forever joined. Mrs. Van- Osdol has just one last test paper to check before going home. Mr. Albert ' s look of complete attention encourages a student to express his thoughts. 26
