The Dreaded History Exam It was Friday, 2:06 pm on October 29th -we were one minute late- when six courageous students walked into the dreaded exam room waiting to be handed their first History paper for this session. Unfortunately, this was only the beginning; two other papers followed on the first week back, finally ending on the 3rd of <strong>November</strong>. In total, 5 hours of exams resulting, in my case, of 18 sides written! What did this exam mean for its candidates and one of IBSB’s number one teachers, Miss Crane? Well, just read below to find out. Were you nervous before the exam? Mihai I.: uh, no…NO! How did you study for the exam? Mihai I.: A lot of home study; read a lot and also worked in school. Danny: I had a very organized program including a few evenings like Monday and Wednesday I studied and I had Tuesday and Thursday free, and on the weekend I studied too. It was very stressful. Alexandra L.: Oh! (laughs) How did I study for the exam? Um, um, um…I watched documentaries, I bought movies and then we all gathered together to revise and I always had my history book with me. Did you have any lucky tokens for the exam? Mihai : No…no…no! Danny: No, I didn’t, not really… Alexandra: Lucky token!! Um, yes! I had this cheap pen, this really cheap pen that writes well. How much did you write? Danny: On Paper 2 I think I wrote five pages, I’m not sure. On the last one, Paper 1, I wrote the least, which is not very good. Alexandra: A LOT…too much…compared to other exams. The most I wrote was seven pages. Do you have a special message for Miss Crane? Alexandra: Oh, for Miss Crane? Yes, like I am trying to put this in better words than “you’re brilliant,” or “thank you,” ummm, rock on more than you rocked before! ...and now our EXCLUSIVE interview with Miss Crane! How did you encourage your students to prepare for the exam? Miss Crane: Threatened them with a big stick? :P No, I told them that it would be worth it in the future if they put all their work in now and to study hard to complete as much work as they can, because then they’ve got more options for university and also for jobs. Were you nervous? Miss Crane: For them?! Yes, I was very nervous, possibly more nervous than when I did my exams myself, but we’ll have to wait and see what happens. Are you confident about the grades? Miss Crane: I’m very confident about the grades as my class is extremely clever and they worked very hard and so they should get the best results they’ve ever had…I hope…fingers crossed! All in all, the exams are over, (THANK GOD) and although I still have nightmares about my pen not working, forgetting everything or worse: not wearing my lucky pig necklace…we will just have to wait and see what happens. Another thank you goes to Miss Crane for all her effort helping us. We promise we will not let her down! By Catrinel Vlad (year 10) 14
Dracula Play As you have probably seen the huge poster in the hallway, you may know our annual play this year will be around the secluded and dark character of ‘Dracula’. It will be directed by our very own Ms. Angela Hargett, who is delighted to have so many people audition for this play. “The audience will be invited to wear Dracula-themed costumes, giving them a feeling that they’re a part of the play,” she said enthusiastically. Auditions are coming up and we will soon find out about our main characters (who will have to learn their lines over the Christmas/Hanukah holiday). This year’s play is more brooding and suspenseful than what we’re used to. The Drama students and Ms. Hargett continue to brew up endless new ideas for the play, and are slowly shaping and molding the play into something special. On their trip to the iconic Țăndărică Theater, the creative juices were flowing. The select drama group thought of concepts relating to settings, directions and special effects. They thought of how to try to make this play the best it can be. Our props will be made by our own ingenious and innovative Art students; however, other students are more then welcome to help. We hope to continue the legacy that is Dracula, and make it another fabulous IBSB successful play. Hope to see you all receive your wanted parts, and for the rest to support and encourage their peers! By Kelly and Mariana (year 10) 15
