Six Weeks' Exams
Well, fellow sufferers, here come
those brain-crushers again, usually
called "the six weeks' exams." This
seems to be the usual attitude taken
by students of the high school. On
the night before the exams came the
student usually has a "good book he
or she must finish." If it isn't a
book, it's a date with your best girl,
and it "can't be broken." The tests
probably won't be very hard to
morrow and anyway, you will have
time before class to study. Isn't it
a sworn statement that you should
n't "cram" before an exam? But get
ting down to facts, by the time you
get up tomorrow morning and by
the time you get to school, you are
lucky if you get there in time for
the exam.
So what do you say, fellows, that
we all make a date with our school
books the night before the exam
and really get in and make some
good grades? Wouldn't we all like to
see the teachers "really surprised"?
