Student Poll What Happens Exam Week? By JANE C. WORRELL and MADELYN LANGDON Incessant cramming — fearing flunk slips — panicldng that last minute — these activities charac terize the mania that pervades the Meredith campus during examina tion week. However, some individ uals react in a different manner. Asked one of three questions (which were: “How do you relax during exams?”; “What unusual things do you do during exam week?”; and “How do you seriously study for exams?”) Meredith girls responded with various replies. When asked the question, “How do you relax during exams?” the following an swers were given: Mary Margaret Whitfield: “I just decide they’re not a big thing and don’t worry about them!” Kathy Ussery: "I never relax! But playing bridge helps.” Jane Midgctt: “Play hockcy in the halls with a potato-stick can like Sandra Newton’s.” Judy Alligood: “Think about starting all over sccond semester while 1 play my ukelele.” Susan Frye: “Turn cartwheels down the hall.” Ruth Pruitt: "Ask me what I do to study — I’m relaxed all of the time!” Jo Ann Stafford: “Date every night and plan for semester break.” Linda Worcester: “Take diahrrea pillsJ” Norma Baird: “I date. Also we play pranks in the suite. For ex ample, my freshman year, I remem ber when we flooded the suite by mistake.” Lynne Wainscott: "I look at the situation logically. Four exams plus one lab practice must equal five A’s or 45 needed Q.P.’s. I con centrate on that, then close books, go to sleep. Result: complete re laxation.” Jo Tankard: “I haven’t relaxed in so long that I don’t know.’* Charlotte Burgess: “Sneak up on my suitemates and scare them — when they scream, I relax.” Elizabeth Vestal: “I like to read mystery stories. I Cissy MlUer: “I would sleep, but [by the lime I finish clearing off my bed, it’s time for class again.” Tommilcc FuJk: “I play bridge when there is somebody with whom to play; but the main thing is to sleep.” It seems that exam week aids producing pecularities which otherwise do not exist among Mere dith girls. Asked what unusual things they do during exam week, liobbte Bivens helps Kitty Kelly begin her packing for (he “Big Move.” For Shoe Repairing at Its Best — Try — HANDY SHOE REPAIR 2414 Hillsboro Street JOHN HANCOCK, Owner SPECIAL; 20% off on all Portraits for Meredith Students. VALENTINE is just around the corner so make your appointment NOW at: THE DON CALLAHAN STUDIO in Ridgewood Shopping Center Meredith students gave the follow ing reply: Diane Drake: “I don’t date more than twice during exams.” Ruth Ellen Johnson: “Get punchy —and get up at 5:00 o’clock in the morning to study for exams.” Pat Lay: “If I feel like I did well on my first exam, I wear the same dress every day — this time it will be my shift.” Kay Hall: “My freshman year we read love comics.” Sandra Harrill: “I take a ten minute break every hour instead of hour breaks every ten minutes.” Rctty Bass: “1 don’t study. 1 smoke two packs of cigarettes every day, play bridge, drink five or six Pepsis per day, and go to Capri’s. This is for ALL in suite 209-211.” Mary Lyon McKinney: “During the spring exam, 1 have an exam dress, but during the first semester exams I have to take pot luck.” In contrast to these light attitudes regarding exams, it is obvious that Meredith girls do participate in con centrated study. When asked, “How do you seriously study for exams?” various techniques were given. Sev eral answers were as follows: Cathy Smart: “I start thinking about the grade I am going to get and the quality points that grade carries with if, then I think about the grade I’ve got in the course; then I think about what 1 am going to have to make on the exam to get the grade I want; finally I study the amount of time I need to get the grade I need.” Linda Arledge: “I start studying on reading day at 9:00 o’clock in Poteat Dorm, and I stay over there until lunch. Then I take a lunch break and continue after lunch. I follow this procedure every day.” Frances Garrett: “I set the alarm clock for 6:00 a.m. and flip pages madly.” LaRuc Pcarce: “I usually go home during exam week and then I just (Continued on page 8) Free Demonstrations Merle Norman Cosmetic Studio 16 East Horgett Street TE 3-3276 Roleiah, N.
