Tests, tests, and more tests.
Life in Ashland High School has
been a steady bombardment of
mental, physical, and personal
tests. One strenuous series of
tests after another face the
hapless student It's the same
old class struggle of oppressor
vs. the oppressed. The teachers
warm up with their batteries
of six week tests. Then they
prepare for the truly over
whelming onslaught - SEMESTER
TESTS.
At first the masters concoct
their weapons of terror in secret.
Somehow the news leaks out,
however, and the students are
faced with a horrifying reality.
"Final exams are this Thursday
and Friday." Valiantly, every last
man, woman, and child from the
AHS student body attempts des
perate counter defenses by cram
ming. It's too late though, be
cause T-hour approaches with
the certainly of death. For six.
long, ninety-minute periods, the
students bravely fight the crush
ing attack of mid year tests.
Hour after hour, brave students
struggle. They suffer innumerable
casualties such as writing cramp.
lack of sleep, headaches, and
eyestrain. On and on the battle
rages until suddenly the teachers
pull a strategic retreat at 3:30
on Friday. Shouts, dancing, and
ringing bells mark the cele
bration. But this is only the beginning.
Almost every day the teachers
make new invasions armed with
new tests. Iowa Achievement
blockbusters and National Merit
bombs punch holes in the junior
defense lines. The teachers gain
allies from College Entrance
Exam Boards and Mathematical
quizes to attack the seniors, not
to mention more six-weeks tests.
Smashing victories by teacher
demand improved counter de
fenses such as good study habits.
The many victims still somehow
struggle back for more punish
ment since there are no replacement.
