Editor Cold rooms, uncomfort- able chairs, clocks, number two pencils, admission tick- ets, hundreds of little bubbles to fill in, and ques- tions that deal with such things as the mating of a grasshopper - all of these have thing in common: standardized tests. ACT, SAT, PSAT, MET, ASVAB, and SRA make up the alphabet soup of stan- dardized tests. Standardized tests mea- sure the amount of informa- tion you can memorize, not necessarily how much you have learned. A person's true intellect can't be mea- sured by a written test. Per- sonal experience is the best test and teacher, Colette Miller said. The old saying that nothing is free in life stands true with these exa- minations. I don't mind taking the ACT, SAT, or PSAT, but l wish they wouldn't charge me to take the test just so they can tell how smart I am, jessica Roenne said. Standardized tests are given a lot of attention since colleges require the scores for admission. I don't think colleges should use standardized tests as a measure of intelli- gence, Erik Swafford said. Until there is a better way to measure the aptitude of students, standardized tests will still be an important part of all student's lives. Seniors 141

This ill- ness lasts for quite some time and requires many days of recuperation away from school. In some cases the sufferers lose all interest in academics and spend the majority of their time dreaming about june 4. If you've seen these 142 People symptoms it's most likely Senioritis. The good thing is that it's curable after gradu- ation. These compulsive thoughts flood some Sen- ior's minds constantly. It's like being pregnant and I'm having my baby on june 4. l've carried this for 12 years, and now it's time to deliver. My waiting is over and I finally get to hold my diploma. It's a great feel- ing of relief, Kelly Tolefree said. This disease can be good when the release comes. When the pressure sudden- ly leaves everything is changed, including the stu- dent. The outlook is much clearer, and there is a new perspective on life. I feel like a caterpillar about to emerge from a co- coon. Finally, I get to leave this place and go into new and better places. Being a senior is like breaking that seal, Tara Givens said. 13, . 1. f v Wg 27 Tb X 5.31 'ff '42 K .t.,.... ,Z if K if M ,et at B B tl
