 Alone, by the light, and quiet; the old fa- shioned way to study is still be best. -Tresa Adair . 9 What is your study method? Dif- ferent methods are selected by stu- dents and parents. Some parents demand the student study in a qui- et atmosphere, and others leave the decision up to the student — some are happy if the student studies at all. Usually, I prefer studying by myself, although I do have the qui- et company of my stereo, said Caryn Adair. However, some parents won't al- low even the stereo. Alone, by the light, and quiet; the old fashioned way to study is still the best, ad- ded Tresa Adair. But this method doesn't suit ev- eryone. For example, people like Rob George and his friends have a method they call party studying. I've got the answers to the se- mester test, boys. I know it all, man. I've been studying at smart people's houses, and off of smart people's notes that I ran off on a copier, bragged Rob George as he barged into Stanley Sharp's smo- key living room, the sound of loud music nearly knocking him down and a bunch of senior boys giving him hard looks for interrupting their cramming session. What on earth hit this place? he asked as he viewed the paper that covered the floor between the spit cans. You jerks look so burnt out. What's this one? Rob asked. You ignorant Pollock! The an- swer to that one is this, Rick Spears snapped back, starting the verbal battles by asking another question. The five boys went at each oth- er's throats for hours. Ernie Thor- nell said this was good because, we pushed each other; someone al- ways had a question, and it was fun. This method had other good points. DeWayne Whitehead and Rob agreed that it helped everyone unwind between studying spurts. We really started going bananas about 1:30. Ol' Ernie was blowing Stanley's nephew's soap bubbles, we had played every tape back as far as Elvis Presley, and we had tried on Stanley's whole hat collec- tion; all just to get out of studying, laughed Rob. When comparing the quiet study method and the party study meth- od, James Mashburn stated, There are arguments for both sides, but ours is more fun and we show more interest; therefore, we learn more by party studying together, and it must be effective, because we're seniors. I just hope it works in col- lege.
