A night before a big day Staying up late to cram for a test was a common activity in the homes of many MN students. When asked why they wait- ed ‘til the last minute, Carla Creasey, sen- ior, said, “It sticks in my mind better for the next day.” Tim Patredis, senior, said, “| wait until bed time because | think bet- ter at bed time.” But not all students crammed. Kris Nolte, junior, said, ‘It’s easier for me if | don’t cram because if | do everything gets mixed up. ‘Some different ways students helped themselves study were to keep the stereo and T.V. turned down so they could have quiet. Lisa Mundwiller, senior, said ‘Being in a quiet room and using ear plugs can help, if you have to.” Still, there were other students who said they need- ed the stereo on because they couldn't study in complete silence. Some other ideas to keep in mind when studying were to switch from subject to subject, 126 Underclass open a window a crack for some fresh air to help keep one awake, and to take sev- eral breaks . Douglas Wynd, junior, said he stayed awake by ‘just putting all my en- ergy into studying and realize | can't study if I’m asleep.” Some 200 well-known classes that needed a lot of studying at MN were Anatomy, Calculus, Advanced Composition, Phys- ics, and the seminars. These were the classes that added the most to late night studying, along with a few others. Summing it all up, Linda Dixon, senior said, “Everybody should have their stud- ies done, but I'll never change.” It didn’t matter whether you paced studying, crammed the night before, or the hour before: one’s grade was the answer to whether one’s studying habits were suffi- cient.
