G-HEAD If you've never met Poindexter Grease Monkey, you've missed quite an experience. You see, Grease is your typical Ames High gearhead. Grease majors in auto mech, and comes to school each day decked out in ragged jeans, a T-shirt and field boots, ready to tune up his car. By lunch, Grease is covered with dirt and oil, and reeks of gasoline. After school, he squeals out of the parking lot behind the shop (true gearheads don't park on “gearhead row ), screaming obscenities at the little cars that get in his way. Grease is very proud of his car, a Chevy with jacked-up rear end, side pipes, 15- inch mags, modified muffler, racing stripes and turbocharged engine. He smiles confidently as the car burns towards Hardee's, his favorite eating establishment. Obviously, there are few Poindexter Grease Monkeys at AHS, but over the years this stereotype has developed, becoming more and more exaggerated. ሙሙ” Left: [T'SA G Inset: SHE'S asch ር [8ከ|3በ61!3 E ኣየር የሞ Brady beforg-leaving On her mopedai أب‎ € U. ap Pa T ١ e A CÓ 7 55870. ኙም. : ቆቅ ፕሌ ce o ጮ፦፦ ME pony wel | ላ E d r trn ' 1 gesatire. p- መ don ከና. ክው መመ d Tee maa ee © Driver Education 29

It’s the night before a crucial test and you haven’t even opened your book. What do you do? a) Party down — you didn’t like the class anyway. b) Think of | yet another way to use crib notes without the teacher catching on. c) Play sick. d) Cram. Well, since teachers, parents and the administration generally frown on the first three possibilities, most students in this kind of a tight situation would probably cram. | Cramming is usually thought of as a large amount of studying crammed into a small amount of time. Cramming is most often used right before a test after a long period of procrastination. When asked what kinds of classes one does not cram for, Charles Jones said, You can't cram for physics or analyt because if you do, you'll flunk. Cherie Jacobson explained, I don't procrastinate, | cram! One anonymous junior said, That's the only way I’m going to make it through high school. As Todd Flesch put it, It's great when you're in a jam! Cramming 30 -— pc owt geg à ዉ.‹..
