TIME, AN UNMISTAKABLE ELEMENT IN THE OFT-FORGOTTEN TIMEPIECES WITNESSES OF YEARS EVENTS The 1966 COMPASS takes as its editorial idea the basic concept of TIME, a force that works so quietly that it is often overlooked by those it serves. Nowhere is that force more potent, or more easily taken for ranted, than in the American high school. It is with the hope of correcting this state of mind, of making us a little more aware of just what TIME is to us, and how varied are its forms, that we choose this theme. TIME, measured with the steady rhythm of the drum-m.oor's baton, or imprinted daily on the faces of a dozen c! cks around the halls, is the unifying force in George Washington High School. It brings out our emotion in as many varied spcctrums as there are minutes to an hour. Who can control the desperate hope and spirit that wells up as the football or basketball timers tick off the final seconds of another close win? How many of us realize that it is Mr. Gamer's master clock that starts, and stops, our school day; that sends us to classes, to assemblies, and to the afternoon meetings of our clubs and honor societies? How many of us count the final minutes of each period on our own watches? We cannot deny TIME’S influence or her steady and unerring regulation; and surely we can say that GW-ites. as do no others, make the best possible use of it.
