Students employ time and energy preparing assignments At Elmhurst, like most other high schools today, students find that it is necessary to spend much time preparing for their classes. This is usually done during the one or more study halls that they have during the day. However, some invariably wait until the last minute and rush into their home room at 7:55 a.m., hoping they won ' t have to go to a meeting during the fifteen-minute period, to settle down to study for that first period test. Others have to hurry to eat their lunch to have time left so that they can study for their next class. Many students spend at least an hour a week in the school library. There they can find supplementary material for English reports, numerous sources of information for social studies term papers, and current reading matter. The library is an invaluable study aid to those high-schoolers who make use of it. The average Trojan teen is not able to complete his daily assignments during his study time at school. Thus, he averages from two to three hours of homework every night of the week. In addition, he spends between four and five hours study- ing over the weekend. Much study time is required for reading and creative writing. Looking for good references is the first step in preparing a term paper. Karen Glock selects sources for her economics paper. Trying to avoid that inevitable thing called homework, Trojan teens use their time wisely during a study hall in the cafeteria. imn a iig ?
