Homework Habits One way to make good grades in school is to study. By that, it is meant to make the effort to learn by reading or thinking. Although most students do study, not all students study the same way. Each person has his own unique way of preparing for class. This is just a few ways students said that they studied: MAKING THE GRADE. Learning to type takes a lot of concentration. Marty Hathcock concentrates on his daily typing lesson to get a good grade in Mrs. Barbee's Typing I class. Cyndi Hinson: Most of the time what I do is look at the T.V. and do my work at the same time. Andy Hahn: My favorite way to study is by doing my homework and listening to the radio at the same time. Jackie Stuart: I enjoy getting together at someone's house, having a group study. Dale Hunsucker: You have to have a good lady like I do who motivates you mentally. Lisa Mullis: HI spend all my time studying while I'm on the telephone. Christi Hill: I enjoy studying with my friends in the morning before the bell ringsf' Traci Coble: I like to crawl onto a big king-size bed, flip on the radio, kick my feet back, and just try to relaxf' GIVE ME A BREAK. Studying alone, Joey Carpenter works diligently to complete his assignments, hoping to get a break soon. Studyingf127

WORK, WORK, WORK. Seniors in Mrs. Geraldine Holbrooks' third period English class stay busy throughout the year. The Seniors work on plays, short stories, and poems as well as writing their own essays. SIT DOWN, SHUT UP, TURN AROUND, FACE THE FRONT, AND ACT LIKE SENIORS. These chastising words are constantly heard from Mrs. Geraldine Holbrooks' third period Senior Advanced Placement English Class. These students enjoy listening to Mrs. Holbrooks' ex- pressions as they toil through novels and study guides. 126f Studying EE
