Exams Slated For January 23-28 Shown studying for those exams which are coming up are: Betty Jo Kiff, Neil Hampe, and Lucy Meade Atkinson. The time has come for last- minute conferences, frantic study ing, dazed eyes, and blank expres sions. Yes, the facts must be faced. In a little over a week, final exami nations for first semester will be given. Upperclassmen have survived this week at least twice, but the freshmen have a new experience to look forward to. Actually, exams are helpful. They are a measuring device to help you find how much you have grown in wisdom and also what more you need to know. If you have studied all year and review well before exams, you have nothing to worry about. It’s very good to get a good night’s sleep, so the facts you’ve learned won’t slip away from you. Be calm and don’t go into a panic. Best of luck on examinations!
