HOW TO STUDY FOR EXAMS (Continued from Page 1) teacher by jotting down the ques tions I would ask if I were re sponsible for constructing the exam. This procedure should serve to highlight for you the following materials which the majority of instructors require their students to know; (1) general principles; (2) significant theories; (3) out standing scholars; (4) specialized vocabularies or technical vocabu laries; (5) historical sequences; (6) cause-effect relationships. By all means, try not to inter nalize the values expressed in this bit of children’s folklore: The more you study, the more you learn. The more you learn, the more you know, The more you know, the more you forget. The more you forget, the less you know. So what's the use of studying! Miss Ellington— 1. Start review well in advance of exam week. 2. Divide the material to be cov ered into logical groups and cover one of these groups at each review session. 3. Get proper rest, food, and ex ercise during the preparation per iod. Mr. Tate— 1. Start studying now. 2. Read through all of your end of the year, to see that a per manent class secretary and a per manent class agent are chosen, and to help with the Bulletin and the Alumnae assembly program.

We spend practically every wak ing hour studying and re-studying until our minds are fairly swim ming with the accumulation of facts. The jieriod directly preced ing the exam, however, is perhaps the most nerve-racking. Between last-minute “cramming” and worry we can be not only tense, but com pletely exhausted. For this rea son, the chapel will be open every morning during exam week. It is often a great help merely to go and sit for a while, to collect your thoughts, and to alleviate your tension l)efore entering an exam. Because of the exam schedule, there will be no formal chapel ser vices during exam week. However, Dr. Guerry will be there each morning at twenty minutes before nine to offer a few prayers. Wanted: The key to getting out of speech class A paper clip A ball-point pen attached to the blue slip box Someone to sew on name tapes Bible 5, Bible 7, Speech 21 and Speech 31 will be scheduled in regular class periods the week beginning January 16th.
