Test Stress

NO! Not another test! I do not have any time to study for this. I have about a million other things to do. I have to go to work do my other homework. I do not have enough time to do all this!

Have you ever had the trouble of finding time to study for all the tests you have? It always seems that when the teacher says, "Alright class we have a test on Friday so study your notes", that same day you other classes give you about two hours of homework to do also. On top of that too you have to go to work and find time to still have a social life.

Everyday you get out of school at 3:05 and you go home. You get home about 3:30 depending on how far away you live. Then you have to hurry, change, and be to work by 4:00. You usually work until about 7:00 or 8:00, and when you get home you finally get to do your homework. You work on it until you are too tired to work on it any more, and then you fall asleep. This happens all week long, and when Friday morning finally comes you wake up, you get ready, you go to school, and you realize you forgot to study for your test. Now your freaking out because you know that since you didn't study you are going to fail. Your hoping at that very second that you'll either get sick or something will happen to the school where everyone has to go home(If only that would really happen).

You get into class and your teacher gives you five minutes to go over your test. You use your time wisely and you speed read over every note you have. Your teacher hands your test and you freak out cause you don't know one answer to this test. A week later you get your test back and you failed or, once again, you barely passed.

Here is an easy solution to all your problems. After you find out you have a test, you take your notes, fold them up, and put them in your back pocket. Every time you have a free chance take your notes and read over them and work on memorizing them.While your doing your homework and you are sick of working on a paper take a break and read over your notes for your test. It will help you to have a break from your other home work.

When your test comes around, you can use those five minutes to look over the things you really didn't understand. Then when you do get the test you wont freak out and you'll take the test with some confidence. When you get your test back, you will see some major improvements on your grade.

Freshmen initiation: Its a tradition

Freshmen initiation is more then what most people think of it. It has been an EHS tradition for many years, and will remain a tradition for many more years to come. It can be defined in a couple different ways. If you were to look up initiation in the dictionary the definition you would get would be, to admit or accept with formal rights into an organization or group, secret knowledge, adult society etc. The school’s definition of initiation is the seniors accepting the freshmen into the school in embarrassing and torturous ways.

After interviews with many different freshmen I found that most of them have the same view as far as initiation. A lot of them claim that they aren’t nervous. Is this true or are they trying to put on a show. Lets take a look at what some of the freshmen had to say:
“I don’t know any upper classmen so I don’t care about initiation.” –Austin Nolan
“Initiation is awesome. I’m not nervous at all.” –Sean Hysell
“It’s not a big deal. I just want to know what their going to do” –Ethan Dumbar
“I like the idea and I’m not nervous. If it happens it happens.” –Alex Nizbit
“It’s ok as long as it’s not me” –Tiffany Barker
A little advice to the freshmen: Initiation is a tradition at EHS so nervous or not just accept it and get through it. After all it is only one week of school out of the 4 years that you are here. Also you will have your chance to do the initiations once you become a senior. So good luck to all freshmen September 29 – October 3.

Meet EHS Freshmans 2008-2009

Why does everyone hate to be a freshman? Why is it so scary?. Many kids ask those same questions. Does it really suck being a freshman, or is that just a myth?
I had the pleasure to meet two great people this week. They are both freshmen maybe people in higher grades should realize that they're not just freshmen or little kids they are people like you and me. Even if people deny it we all have been freshmen once in our life and we didn´t like to be treated bad. That's why we should appreciate them more and get to know them.

EHS History

As I was cleaning a room for my current high school teacher Mr. Dalton, I came across something very interesting. I would have never guessed something would ever cross my path, but they did. Pictures. Fortunately, they aren’t just any kind of pictures. Some of them are even before our grandparents’ time, and others during our parents’ high school experiences. It was truly astounding to me, so I ask permission to keep and research the pictures for further details on them. I was given an “OK”, so I went and picked up about as much information on the pictures as I possibly could.
